HIGH-HANDED OUTRAGE.
UsurpatIOM of Authority by United
States Commissioner COnley and an
Interference with Personal Liberty
Radical Politics aud Grant Law.

If VIC understand it correctly, ono of the
most outrageous acts of judicial usurpation
ever perpetrated was done yesterday by
United States Commissioner Conley. He
had been hearing the case of S. z. Wells,
charged with violating the Enforcement
Act. lie had gone widely aside of legal
precedent and rule in admitting irrelevant
testimony. y negro witness had sworn
falsely. After he left the room, two police
men, sworn officers, arrested the negro as
the law allows in cases of felony, to hold
him until a warrant for perjury could be
sworn out The arrest was made on the
bridge. Conlcy sent the United States
Marshal and brought the negro back, and
made out All order sending the policemen
TO Jail without hearing.
He finally, after indignant protest by the
counsel, agreed to bail the policemen to
appear at court in the enormous bond of
$4,000 each, which was promptly given
He refused to bail them TO appear in the
morning for a hearing.
This high-handed proceeding has excited
a deep feeling of indignation in the COM
munitv.

We arc informed also that Internal
Revenue officers and soldiers under them,
behaved in a disorderly and outrageous
manner in CASTOR county. Indeed, so
gross have been the violations of law in
that county, that David A. Jenkins, the
Radical Treasurer Of the State, has asked
the Charlotte Democrat to state that Is he
is ready to testif fy to gross outrages COM
mitted by Federal ofiiee-holders in CASTOR
county"
In spite OF this however, tue man who
expects TO sec any Of these scouDdrels pun
ished by United States Courts, Is very
credulous and simple-minded. Not one
Of them will be punished SO long as Grant

COLONEL WADDEAL.S ADDRESS TO
HIS COSSTIFUENTS.

10 the CONSERVATIVE and LtbeiUt ] OtCT|
Of the Sd Congressional District:
FELLOW CITIZENS The exaggerated
Importance which has been given to the
late elections III Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana, and the equally undue oppression
among the friends Of Ar. GREELEY con-
sequent thereupon, make it the duty Of
those who enjoy your confidence to offer
ynu their counsel at this time. As | cannot
meet all my constituents before the 9Th Of
November, 1 avail myself of the newspa-
pers to address you. / shall also speak to as
many OF you as possible between now
and that time.
It is nstural-i': politics, as in other
matters when high hopes i'll regard to an
issue of Importance are disappointed, to
Weld to dependency; but it is criminal
and cowardly in treemen to renounce their
highest privilege because Of possible defeat
in an election. We did build high hoIes on
III. October elections, and we are disap-
pointed but if these elections were abso-
lutely conclusive Of the result in November,
We would still have no right to abandon the
contest. They are not so, however. Ad
mitting that Pennsylvania and Ohio will
90 against Mr.. GREELEY (and it is proba-
be, though by no means certain that they
will 90 against him,) he can still be elected
without thcm.
His nomination at Cincinnati and Balti-
more imposed All obligation upon us which
lis noble speeches have greatly strength
ercd; but, leaving Ill this out Of view, we
owe ii - C,Yxe3ccs to see that North
Carolina votes aga inst General Grant.
If we are sincere in asserting the tran
r1.l,leut Importance Of tlIe Presidential
election to ourselves, Should not our Efforts
t, win l5e redoubIod? ? We could afford to
ho indifferent if it was a matter OF little
Importance to us: but if it involves our
Highest welfare, how can VIC Justify our
ara!by" Let rs, then, be up and doing.
Let the organization Of Clubs proceed
Let the Electors do their duty, and go Wig
orouslv into tho canvass at once. Let the
people ne aroused from their lethargy.-
Whatever course others may pursue, let
Ii, redeem North Carolina, au1 hold fast
the doctrine o. local self government,
which undcrlies liberty, anL which is dis
appearing from the political creed of this
country. We disappointed o1u' friends in
August, although we were fighting power
which was almost irresistible. Let us sur
prise them in November, when that
power, instead Of being concentrated on
one State will be distributed over thirty
seven States, and will i,e that much less
formidable
Bestir yourselves, then, eIloW-citizens;
oiganiz za--form iine-ciose ranks-remem-
Der the alternative presented to you, viz:
four more weary years of robbery and OPP
preston, on one side, or reconciliation,
peace and justice on the other, and let
Your slogan be "Once more unto the
breach, dear friends-Once more"

The population Of tho russian empire
has increased at remarkable rate during
the past century and half, but the i'll
crease is in part owing to extension of ter
ritory. In 1122 the population stood at
fourteen millions, in 1903 at thirty-siX mill
liens, IN 1920 at about fifty millions, and In
1865 at sixty-fve millions. At present tho
population stands at about seventy seven
millions. The extent of the empire has in

COLONEL WADDELL's address bI Ieathcs
the right spirit. The battle is not yet lost.
By hard work We may yet win the fight.
But even if this were not SO it is a very
srea. error TO suppose we have nothing to
fight fer unless we are strong enough to
elect our candidates. Ii we keep UP the
figh1 with vigor we cannot fail to array
against General Grant an opposition SO
powerful that he can neither silence nor dis
regard 1t. If we would preserve the shadow
even of liberty and free goTernnent, v.e
must keep intact an organized opposition to
President Grant. Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty and can be maintained only
by a vigorous, active and we'll organized
opposition.
But this Is not all we may reasonably
hope for, Indiana has declared in favor of
Greeley by tho election of Hendricks Al
we need now is to carry the States Of ILL.,
nois and North Carolina, in addition to the
States sure to go for him, and Mr. Greeley
will be the next President of the United
States Think of this, North Carolinians
The result may depend upon the vote of
this State! The voice of North Carolina
may determine whether Greeley or Grant
shall rule over MS for the next four years !.

The Board of Government of the Catholic
Total Abstinence Union of America met in
Philadelphia on the 4th inst. Among the
matters that claimed the attention Of the
Board, were the adoption of transfer aud
travelling cards, and of a seat for the Union;
the proposed establishment of . weekly news
paper devoted to the interests of the Catholic
Temperance Societies connected with the or
ganization /; the admission of Societies having
proper episcopal recognition, and the form of
certificate under which they may be admitted;
the amount Of per capita tax to be paid, and
the time and manner of paying the same, etc.
All these subjects were carefully considered,
freely discussed, and intelligentiy acted upon.
In the course of the proceedings very interest
ing reports were made by the Corresponding
and Financial Secretaries, and by the Presi-
dents of the several State Unions In every
section of this country and of Canada mem
bership has largely increased, and since the
Baltimore Convention, State Unions have been
formed in Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, and other
States. Upwards of two hundred Societies,
aggregating q membership of more than $4,000,
arg now connected vita the Union, and it is
confidently expected that these numbers will
be doubled by the 10th of October next, Father
Matthew's birthday, when the second Conven-
ton will be held at Cleveland, Ohio.
