GREELEY's OWN TESTIMONY AS TO THE KU-
KLUx SPIRIT IN THE SOUTH.
[From H. G's Memphis Letter to the Tribune.l
The Republicans uniformly testify
that there was AN ORGANIZED AND
ARMED CONSPIRACY whereby they,
and especially the blacks, were deferred
from voting-that offering to- vote would
have cost them their lives-that the
Democrats were determined to carry the
State for Seymour, and did carry it, by
SYSTEMATIC TERRORISM, against
which the poor and humble burst not
contend.
x Now, the KuKlux orga. ization
may be active in this locality and dorm.
ant in that-may seem dead to-day-AND
BE REVIVED TO-MORROW-BUT
THEKU-KLUXS SPIRIT STILL LIVES
AT THE SOUTH AND is VERY FOR
MIDABLE."
CONDITION OF THE SOUTH IN THE EVENT
OF GRRELEY's ELECTION.
From the regular North Carolina Correspond
ence of the New York Tribune. Greeley's own
organ.
"The Democrats of the South, if
Horace Greeley is elected, will be the
worst disappointed set of men you ever
saw. / don't believe Mr.. Greeley has
sold out to them as they think he has.
and there's sure to be fight unless
these secessionists down here are al
lowed to manage him. You don't and
can't knoso them as zoe do; but mind what
l tell you, this aOhole country ,0iU beouseru,a
loith hu-Klur 0ithin three months after Mr..
GreeLeys Inauguration. Then, If he IN
drtakes to suppress disorder htreH be such a
hoscL as this country never heard"
REINSTATEMENT OF THE NEGROES.
From the Chicago Tribune. local Greeley organ.l
Recent events which have trans
pired in North Carolina, in connection
with the State campaign and election,
are already beginning to suggest the
question whether the political power
welded by the negro element in the
| South is not a serious menace to Re.
publican institutions"
| From the New York Express Greeley organ. owned
by Hon. James Brooks, Member of Congress, and
| supporter of Greeley
1.-THE power which few white Fed.
eral oyer8eers in the South, and the ter.
ror which the negro leagues in
spire, a0o,ttd seem TO conrovert the anti slavery
averment that the negro ,oaS born TO be free
| that is, to be a free man, as the white
men are free. The Democrats of the
North and West now recognize the alb
solute freedom of the ex-slave-and his
equality with them before the law-and
they wish now to see him their equal
and not the slave of others-but when
they see aohole race all voting one soay, ana
that mainly through terror, they must often
feel that the negro himself loves slavery
better than freedom. We would wish
now to share our freedom and our equal
ity with the negro, but he won't be free
and he won't be our equal, and hence
the re-arising of this old discussion
whether the negro was really born to
be slave or not"
THE LOST CAUSE RECLAIMED THROUGH GREE

those principles, and each year the con
viction has grown deeper that its funda

gallant Southern dead who sleep upo,
every hillside in the South. over who's
graves the night winds sigh, are r.
minders to me of the love for thes
