AN HONEST CONFESSION Is GOOD FOR
THE SOUL.


There are number of honest men, both
North and South, who honestly belieced that
the existence Of the Ku-Klux in several of
the Southern States was a mere myth, and
the numerous reports in relation to them,
were circulated by Republicans merely for
the purpose of making political capital for
the party. A large number of such per-
sons live in this city, and in order that they
may be satisfied and convinced that this in
famous organization is a living, moving and
formidable organization, having for its OBJ
.ject the murder and destruction of Republic
cans of every color, we will, tomorrow,
publish letter signed by number of
prominent Democrats of North Carolina,
and addressed. to Judge Bond, i'll which
they confess the vitality of the organization
and pledge themselves to its suppression.
While we give these gentlemen credit for
their pledges, we fear they were induced
more by the determination of Judge Bond
to crush the monster, than from their love
of law and order, else they would have
long since taken the step they now have.
We hope this letter will be carefully read
by the honest men of both parties, as well
as the reply Of Judge Bond to it, in which
is prominent the determination not only to
cut off, but to scar the hydra-heads of the
cruel monster. aH c'

British Agricultural Returns.

A correspondent of the London Times, in
the issue OF the 10Th of September, notes the
slight difference which the agricultural re-
turns of Great Britain show between the
cereal area of this year and that Of 1870.
This year there is an increase Of 75,453
acres of wheat, II, $50 of barley, and de-
crease of AZ, 1892 of oats.
Taking the average yield of wheat this
year to be % bushels per acre, the excess
from the increase Of acreage will be only
207 ,495 quarters, and the estimated aggre-
gate yield of wheat in Great Britain is
$500, 900 quarters.
The returns of the number of live stock
are by no means cheering. OF cattle there
are 60, $50 fewer than last year of sheep
decrease of l,264, ,69l and an increase Of
32S,75l pigs. 1aSrflH HH
Such decrease in the number of cattle
and sheep augurs continuance for some
time of high prices for mutton and beef
and, what may seem paradoxical, will adj
versely influence the farmers profits. Last
year, from the failure of seeds, an indiffer-
ent root crop, and a singularly light yield q
hay and straw, farmers were forced to sell
to the butcher stock which, under ordinary
circumstances, would have been kept fol
breeding purposes. tA9 a
This year is widely different. The roo
crop has rarely been cqualled, hay is a fail
crop, straw is abundant, and seeds are un
usually luxuriant; but, on account of tn,
great deficiency in the number Of stock
the abundant stock food will not realiz
corresponding returns. Last year tn
farmer had stock without food, this yea
he has food without stock.

THE EFFECT.

The great calamity which has befallen
Chicago seriously affects the business inter-
ests of the entire world. Institutions III
the larger cities of the United States tum-
BILE into business ruin but little less chaotic
than that into which the wealthy firms in
Chicago have been so suddenly plunged by
their total destruction by fire. '%
In London the news excites general SYM
pathy, and has depressed American securi-
tics. The commercial relations of the en-
tire world have been more or less disrupted
and thrown into confusion. Panic, has
seized operators everywhere.
The mind shrinks from the contempla-
ton Of the situation in the desolated city
of Chicago. The people are reduced to
utter destitution.

Walls, &C., &C., &c., &c.
Neac York, October l0.--Many insur-
ancc companies have temporarily suspended
to see how they stand in regard to the
losses by the Chicago fire. All will pay
up as rapidly as possible, and have begun
arrangements to that effect.
Life Insurance companies have many
millions loaned upon real estate security
in Chicago; but as their rule is to require
land security alone, they will be more than
secured. They apprehcnd no loss.
The excitement here is in no wise abated.
There is an'immense sale for all the city
papers. Business is generally suspended.
"A special TO the Times, dated Chicago,
2:2o a. NJ, says that Chicago is in ruins,
and the fire still burning in the western
division Of the city. Taylor and Halstead
streets are swept, and the water-wofks
went early.
A fearful loss of life has been occasioned
by falling walls.

LOOKOUT FOR THE SHOw.-Although
the advertised hour for the commencement
of the performance of Robinson's great
combination exhibition has been fixed at 2
O 'clock, the doors of the huge canvass will
be thrown open at half-past twelve O'Clock.
This arrangement is to give time to see the
rare ant! magnificent animals before the cii-
Gus performance commences.
The grand street parade will take place
between the hours of 8 and 10 O'Clock
A. M.
The reputation of Mr.. Robinson, who is
a lib, .ral and high minded Snowman, al
ways induces tho public to give him that
oncourage ement his enterprise SO well merits.
Richmond just now, is like AyAchpurg

first time since certain sergeant of Clay
ward told us that Tommy" had better de-
part, we, last night, in company with
several Of our Republican friends, made q
visit to this ward, near the scene of our
first adventure; and although the party
was in good humor, we failed to meet the
huge form Of the sergeant who advised us
to 7'shut up" In his stead, we found a
polite, clever, and agreeable policeman,
whose namc-no matter! il commences
with w and ends. with an N-swhat an
end !)--and whose behavior was such that
a gentleman, if arrested by him, would feel
as &C he had fallen into good hands. Com
paristus being odious, we. make none, but
cannot help expressing admiration for the
man who .ands pohteness and gallantry two
of the cheap est commodities of life, while
to be gruff, sour, rough, rude, and uncouth,
is to arm oneself with coat Of mail pene-
trable only by the vicious and ill-natured.

THE DESPERATION OF VIRGINIA DE-
MoCRACY.-The State Committee of the
Democratic party announces this morning a
brilliant array OF talent to go out among the
people, and deceive and cheat them as to
the policy of Democracy.
While we may not be able to put against
these gentlemen, men of such distinguished
abilities, we are thrice armed with cause
that is. Just; and however unable to compete
in the use and flow of words our speaker
may be, the truths they are enabled to emu
merate will oyerwhelm and destroy the fine
theories of our adyersaries.
Our friends may rest assured that De-
mocracy, feeling the desperation of its
cause, has selected its best and ablest men
to fight the last struggle ever to be made in
Virginia. With this struggle, the monster
will gasp its last breath and go down under
the waters of oblivion amid the rejoicings
of free and disenthralled people. SO
mote it be! So mote it be
