Senator ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Vance's
DiSAbi lilies.

The following extract from the proceed
ings of the United States Senate on Mon
day evening last,
Mr.. Ransom called up the bill to remove
the legal and political disabilities of Zebu-
Ion Il. Vance, of North Carolina, and
George S. Houston, Of Alabama which
was passed-yeas 1G, nays ),
and the following, from the proceedings
of the House ofRepresentatives on the same
evening,
The Sen ate bill removing the political
disabilities of George ). Houston, Of Ala
bama, and Il. b. Vance, Of North Carolina,
was taken up and passed,
show palmer than any words of ours can
do, that General RANSOM has not been
idle since he has occupied a seat in the
United States Senate. When it is remem-
bered that in order TO prevent the removal
Of the disabilities of Governor VANCE alone,
Radical Senators defeated the passage of
the Am nesty bill before the Christmas
Holidays, and that he belongs to that small
class excluded from the benefit of the pro-
visions of the bill when it did pass, the evil
dence of the influence SO rapidly acquired
is still palmer. The success of Senator
RANsoM's efforts in behalf Of Governor
VANCE illustrates, in the handsOmest man
ner, the worth of the one and the zeal and
ability of the other. 1t was handsome
thing handsomely done, ana We congratu-
late the State upon it, no less than these
her two distinguished sons.

Even if iadicaliSm were desirable
thing, we scarcely think the people of North
Carolina are able to indulge themselves in
so costly luxury. The times are too hard
now for us to have anything more than the
actual necessaries of life. Retrenchment
and reform, and homespun and hard work
are all we can now afford. The costly lux
uries Of carpet-bag and scalawag flush
times, when ice and cork-screws, and
ostrich feathers and Grape, and ribbons
and carpets, and wardrobes and wash beau
reaus, and soap aud bowls, and pitchers
and goblets, and gold pens and buggy hire,
and velvet riggs and spitt0ons, costing
thousands Of dollars to the people Of the
State, which We're considered necessary to
the elegance of the Radical administration
of the government, are out of our reach
Unfortunately the Radicals stayed in power
so long that when the Conservatives did
come into office there was nothing left but
honespun, hard tack and hard times
Economy, retrenchment and reform
is the cry now. $2,SO8,634 13 is a sum
worth saving in these hard times.

know at that time why Outlaw was hung,
or about the Ku Klux or anything about
it, and he took the rope of my neck and
tied it around one of my wrists aud took
me outside to a large goods box and kept me
there until morning. Next morning he
came and cursed the guard for not undo
ing me before daylight come. lie took me
in his tent and said he had paper written
out there which / wac to sign-tllat paper

what he had taken down, and he then or
dered me back to the tent and put me an

orders not TO talk with other prisoners i'll

! BE it remembered that during all this
time TOD Il. CALDWELL was the next Off
Ger in power and rank to Governor Holden.
Here is the Radical preaching of the Rad
ical State Convention about this same Rad
ical practice
"Resolred, That w. w. Holden deserves
from the Republican party of North Caro-
lima the kindest affection and deepest graft
tude for his manful and hard defence of
them i'll 1S69-'70, from the assaults Of the
Ku Klux Democracy; for his universal and
consistent defence Of the poor and humble
! when he was Governor, and his faithful
and ceaseless advocacy of the Repu blican
principles when he was with us, and now
that he is martyr in exile at Washington,

past, and shall ever cherish our love for
him in the future, and we have confident
hope and trust that the time is not far dis
tant when he shall return TO his native
State again to battle for the Union, for
equality before the law and for progressive
principles of republicanism.
Be it remembered that TOD Il. CALD-
WELL was nominated for Governor of tie
State on the first ballot by the same Con
vention that thus emphatically endorsed
the rule of the bullet and the bayonet.
Another proof-Captain Trezevant, aciti
zen OF North Carolina, was arrested in
North Carolina by a South Carolina spy
by order of a South Carolina official, who
put pistol to his breast and told him he
would be carried, dead or alive, to Soutf
Carolina, where ''therc were witnesses
ready to swear to anything"

The North Uniting ON Greeley.


The Democratic Conventions in Kansas and
Iowa indicate an overwhelming sentiment for
the Cincinnati platform and nominees.
The resolutions adopted by the Kansas Con-
veRton contain this paragraph: s. But when
la~less ambition, imbecllity, corruption and
Manworship dominate in a party, the duty OF
all partisans without regard to previous poIiti-
cal affiliations, Is to join their hands and kearts
in any effort 10 crush such party and drive It's
leaders from pOwer.' s....
The Iowa Convention instructed its dele gates
TO act AZ unit. One resolution is that the prin-
ctples enunciated by the late Cincinnati Con-
Nentlon taken in connection with the letter o t
Horace Greeley accepting the nomination, ia
that the Convention constitute a platform upon
which all elements of opposition to the pre-
sent corrupt Federal government can stand.

From the Raleigh Sentinel.

Let Every Freeman Read Them.
The following striking statement illus
trateS with great force the marked and dis
tinctive difference between Radical and
, Conservative rule in this State, in the i'm
pOrtant matter Of saving money, and it is
well worth reading and the careful consid-
Grafton Of every taxpayer i'll the State.
Let everybody preserve the statement. 1t
is entirely reliable. The statistics were OBJ
! tanned from the records at the Treasury.
The first Legislature-the Radical Leg
islature Of 1S0S-'69-under the present
Constitution was in session 3Oj days, and
cost the people of the State as follows, to-
wit
They sat from July LIST, 1868,
to August oath, 1868, 30 days
They sat again from Novem-
Der 10th, 1868, to April 18th,
1860, less IS days recess from
December 22d, 1868, to JAN
uary Both, 1869, inclusive, I'D days.
They sat again from NQvem-
Der 18th, 1869 to March 2S,
1870, less 90 days recess fro1n
December 21, 1869 to Janu-
airy 8, 1870, both days inclu-
sive, 10 DAYS.
They sat in Ill 305 days.
And cost the State for that
term, $43O,644 60
The last Legislature Conservative Dem
ocratic legislature, sat during the session of
1S7O-'71 in all 10 days.
They sat during the Cd session
in all - days.
They sat in all, 100 days.
Ard they cost the State, $199,18S 81
So that the account stands this way !:
The Radical Legislature sat 3O5 days.
The Conservative Legislature
sat 100 days.
So the Radical Legislature sat longer
than the Conservative
The Radical Legislature cost $43O, 60
The Conservative Legislature
cost 199,1ss 81
Difference, S231, 45e %
in favor of the Conservative legislature.
Surely that sum is worth saving, and we
think it shows practical difference be-
tween dishonest and honest rule and one
we'll worthy consideration. Let the people
read and consider and then vote the death

Many of our readers are familiar with
thc story told of Colonel McClung of Mis-

Charles Hotel in New Orleans one day,
Colonel McClung saw great burly fellow
imposing upon smaller man, and threaten
ing to kick him out Of the hotel. Acting
upon the impulse of the moment. the
Colonel seized the bully by the coat collar
and kicked him into the street without
meeting with the slightest resistance. \
few days afterward Colonel McCIung was
in jackson, Mississippi, and there saw a
man kick another ont of the hotel. The
features Of the victor looked familiar, and
after close scrutiny the Colonel walked up
and said: Are you not the - scoundrel
that kicked out of the st. Charles Hotel
in New Orleans ;" The fellow looked up
confidential whisper, Colonel, We know
who to kick
There is a gentleman well known in this
city and State. and indeed, throughout the
late" confederacy as gallant hero. It man
who does everything but fight. and who. in
the misuse Of language, could give Mrs.

a select little party were playing seven-up

while dealing. held the cards below the
table. Our hero was losing. and, becoming
irr;tatcd said, My friend, | am interested
in this game, and | want YOU to deal those
cards above the table. What say is facts"
The journalist looked up Indignantly, and
said. Il will deal as | please, and if YOU
make any further remarks I'll knock you
ont Of your chair" Our hero's feathers
went down at once, and he very mildly said,
II meant no Otfense; my taml Y are all here,
and don't want any difficulty"
The game went on, and soon the Colonel
began to lose, the journalist meanwhile con-
tinuing to deal as he pleased" The Colonel
finally looked up and said: "My friend,
am interested in this game; | have my fam
lily here. but that makes no difference. I
want YOU 10 deal those cards above the

THE COT RTS.

In the prevailing excitement but few of
the gentlemen of the bar attended yester-
day, except to fix the cases that were
called.
In the Eighth District Court Court an in
junction was issued, to be tried on Wednes-
day, to show cause why the members OF the
coifeehouse should not be restrained from
assembling at any place but the Capitol.
The reasons for the writ charges the Garter
House with an undue interference III the
affairs of the State, hinderng legislation.
and attempting to subvert the constitution.
The injunction will restrain them from fur
ther acts in that direction. and is TO be
argued on Wednesday.
In the same tribunal there are applica-
lions for the writ of habeas corpus by the
Governor. asking that the bodies OF Mr..
Bclot and several other members of the
House be brought into court. on the ground
that they We're illegally detained. from
which Writs no returns have come at latest
accounts.
Such were the principal events transpr
ing at the Courthouse yesterday. In re
gard to the violence apprehendcd at the
writs. Mr. Carter announced to the public
that the members under his direction would
obey and submit to the process OF any
court whenever served. The assembly on
