quently associations Of this character actual

DEAR DuNHAM:-
| intended, two weeks ago to have written
to you, but just as was thinking over the
matter, the leoy f-ka-klpr was raised in
| the county, and got skeered, for I'm loyal
and thought would get glimmering sight
of Grants B9ogdJoo ojhe South, but did not.
You see. that some thing. have taken place
in the county, and the perpetrators ofthe out
RACES were mostly radicals and Of course ku
klux was at the bottom, and the militia must
be organized, and called out. One company
was organized at Salem, a few days ago, and
as the vision of some of the company was not
good enough to see the Ku-hlux they imbib-
ed few drdps of the sperits Of John Barley
corn, which so improved their sight that they
started out through the eighborhood- firing
of their pistols over the heads of some per-
sons, and over the houses of others, threaten
ing to carry death To certain parties so that
fear took hold of a number of our best citi-
zcns, which created for while great excite
ment. For the present, things have quieted
down, and peace reigns.
The committee appointed to investigate
these outra2es, which is composed mostly Of
Republicans, are now out in the country TAX
ing testimony, and will report soon.
Our school board is still in an unsettled
condition, aud not likely to agree very soon.
1t is see-saw game, first one side up then the
other. The public school, | believe is now in
operation, and il Is TO be hoped will contin-
ue for the benefit Of the chiidreR, who alone
are the sufferers in the mnss. BY the way, is
il not strange that this boasted piece ofydnkee
ciriiisatioR which has been sent to the south
by the Radical rulers Of the land, should be-
come bone ofcontcntion among the tru-
ly loyal throughout the South. The truth is,
there is too much money belonging to the fund,
and too many political c0rmorants to let 1t
pass unmoested to perform its legitimate use.
The fund stands AS an open prey TO all the
political vultures, as it l. generally depleted
i'm some way or other before it reaches its
destination,
The Ku-klu and melish have nearly killed
of our bridge building, and have given our
hotel a back set; scarcely ever hear the sub
| iects mentioned.
Last week Judge Yonlcy. the high priest Of
| the CLAYTON Iiadley- State ehouse-ring. visited
this place, ostensiby, in the interest OF the l..
| II. & +. S. railroad, but in reality to see If he
could not Juy ot the Brindle-tails, and go it
| all together Iloford bonds and all meet
ing was held by a few Of the head men, but
| | think the Judge did not succeed. The Brn-
"details are aware of the fact, that they hold
all the trump cards, and, as things now stand
have good show Of coming out ahead for all
the State offices. But. keep this to yourself
until COME AGAIN.

"GO BACK THIEVES"

The "Farmers and Mechanics" candidate
for the Presidency, the "great aud good"
Horace Greeley, of New York, is still engag,
ed in stirring his ''mOurnful facts" with hot
poker. The Tribune contains the following
advice to the Republican party in the South.
Although 1t is gratuitOus, i. is nevertheless
true in many instances. and it would be we'll
enough not to lOsO sight of his advice alto
gether::
Republicans of the South! you have des.
perate struggle just ahead. and you cannot
win unless you send these williams to the rear
YOu cannot rely on their modesty or their
sense of decency; they will push themselves
forward into the most conspicuous posts, no
matter at what peril and mischiefto your
cause unless you steruly say, go back
thievesw You can not afford to be delicate
with men who do not know what delicacy
means. Unless you show by your acts that
you detest peculators aud scorn to be led by
them, you will be beaten, and will deserve to
be. You can put these fellows where they
belong if you try; aud you must try. Their
1etrOutery will desert them whenever they see
that you not only loathe rascality but do not
hesitate TO show your lOathing. As you hope
to be respected, cOnfided in, triumphant, vim
dictate yOCE own integrity by branding the
thieves who would make merchandise of your
Party's good name!

TIE HARVEST IN -EURoPE.-Some facts
have been Published by the European journals
regarding the harvest prospects in the grain
growing countries of Europe. In Prussia the
prospects are not at all favorable, especially
for the early crops, and the late ones have
suffered severely for the want of 4 warm sun.
As is the case in this country, there has been
little or no summer in Prussia, aud this has
had its effect on the crops. In Saxony, how,
ever, matters are different, aud the prospect
of good, healthy yield, has gladdeued the
hearts of the farmers. The wheat and barley
crops OF Franco, especially in the west aud
southwest, have greatly improved, aud prom
Use productive aud bountifuI yield. Russia
will, according to all accounts, be up TO the
