Poyntsr, after The latter had been fred on
In his workshop by both Hickox and Dep
uty Sheriff Williams, without warning or
known provocation. Rev. Mr.. Kicker
son, who seems to have come infn-
ence with Gov. Hadley, and dis
suaded him from declaring martial
law in Pope county some time since,
had a narrow escape from being waylaid
and assassinated on bis way to Little Rock
by Deputy Sheriff Williams and brother
of the dead Hickox. He was also assaulted
by them on the streets of Little Rock, after
interviewing the Governor. he sums up
the present situation Is follows:
"Doyer is now trembling under the
threats of being burned by the sheriff and
his former deputy, John II. Williams. Five
of the best citizens of Dover have been
designated as persons TO be taken out By
our sheriff and his officers under him and
shot down like dogs. These are the sort Of
officers we have to deal with. Before our
citizens were murdered by the sheriff and
clerk and posse, while they were unsrmed
prisoners awaiting a peaeeable civil ingesti-
Cation, our county was peaceable aud in
good condition. Were we not then submit
ting to civil law? 1t is true some of the
officers OF Pope county had been
killed just after the war, but who
are the proper ones TO be hung for
the crime? Are men to be taken out by
the sheriff and shot down like sheep on
suspicion that they probably have some
knowledge of these murders? Is county
officer to ride up TO the door Of one Of our
citizens and fire on him while at bis work,
with impuniiy? Is that civil law? And
then when it is ascertained that the case Is
to be laid before the Governor OF the State,
is that officer to be allowed TO waylay and
hunt down the messenger and witness from
Dover TO Little Rock, and then on the main
streets of the capitol, almost under the
skirts of the Executive, attempt to assas-
sinate the principal witness against him, to
prevent the Governor from getting the true
facts in the premises, and to prevent trial
and conviction at law? These are the men
with whom we are compelled to deal, IL
with officers at all. ao.
"The officers have taken out two Of our
citizens, good men, without writ, on sus-
picion OF having shot John Williams belt
buckle, and at the dark hour of night bru-
tally murdered them. They want to muir
der more men. They say they do, and
swear they will, and we must submit to
them as officers Of the law. How long,
oh Lord, how long? -r -.s +

NORTHERN kU-KLUX.

The New York correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Enquirer writes, Sept, 9, as
follows:
"About sixty New York roughs went to
Neamaroneck, Westchester county, yester-
day, and broke upon an African Methodist
Camp meeting. Act first consisted in get
ting drunk. Next they became noisy and
disturbed Brother Sunrise, the presiding
dominic, in his prayer. Professor Com
stock began preaching, and the ruffians be-
gan throwing stones. Shower after show
er Of stones few; the women screamed
murder, and the little children were badly
frightened. The panic-stricken congrega-
ton rushed pell-mell in all directions, pur-
sued by the ruff ans, iwho by that time had
their skins thoroughly saturated with tan
glefoot. The camp was soon cleared Of
preachers and women. There were ten
country policemen, who made faint 1T
tempt at quelling the riot, but the rioters
disposed Of them. The rabble then set to
smashing things. They destroyed all des-
troyable properly, and then demolished the
Whisky-booths.
II this outbreak Of lawleSsness had oc-
Cured in the South, it would have been
heralded over the country as . Ku-Klux
outrage, calling for the interference Of the
President through the military. There are
men in the Albany peDisentizry to day, sent
there from South Carolins, for no greater
crime; nay, not so great crime as these
ruffians committed almost within hearing
of the bells of the city of New York. This
fact shows how 'Justice is administered
without sale, denial or delay in some pOr-
tons of this great country under Radical
rule. As this outrage occurred in the North
it will be treated as simply an ebullition OF
rufianism. But it is disregard of law and
thu rights of others, just as we have occa-
sionally in the South, and IL the men en-
gagged in such lawlessness here are Ku-
Klux, the same class of men, guilty OF like
offenses in the North, must be Ku-Klux
also.

GIANT AND WILSON BOTH PROS.


GRIP FIVE,
1t has been proved conclusiVely that in
1854, Henry Wilson, who is now the Radi-
cal candidate for vice president, took a
solemn oath, on his initiation in a Know
Nothing lodge, that he would never vote
for or appoint a citizen Of foreign birth TO
office, and in the senate OF the United
States he outraged decency By offering a
gross insult to Hebrew citizens in the
person of Senator Benjamin of Louisiana.
The Israelites were also prescribed by
Gen. Grant in the following order which be
issued while he was in command Of the
department of Tennessee, for the reason
that certain traders interfered with a
monopoly of certain business which Jesse
r. Grant had secured from his son:
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE
TENNESSEE, OXFORD, Miss, Dec. II, 1862.
The Jews, as q class violating every reg
ulstion Of trade established by the treasury
department, also department orders, are
hereby expelled from the department with
in twenty-four hours from receipt Of this
that all this class of people are furnished
passes and required to leave, and any one
returning after such notification will be ar
rested and held in confinement until an op-
p)rtunity occurs of sending them out as
prisoners, unless furnished with permits
from these headquarters. No permits will
be given these people to visit headqu Tters
for the purpose of making personal applic&-
ton for these permits. BY command.
U. S. GRANT, Major General.
Abiding 10 the case Of Wilson, the Gin
cinnati Israelite Of the Both ult. says 'front.'
cally:
"Show mercy, ladies and gentlemen, to
Senator Wilson. He cOnfesses, repents,
and, besides, sofG soaps you pleasantly.
When he said, in the Senate of the United
States, the Jews were the race who stoned
the prophets and Crucfied the Redeemer of
the world, he meant no harm; when, as a
Know Nothing, he insulted every foreigner,
and sanctioned persecution against them,
he meant no harm. lie did not mean to
be Vice President of the United States,
and it was fashionable then TO trampie up
on the foreigner and spit upon the jew.
But now it is all over, and Senator VIII
son is a candidate before the people, in
Guiding foreigners and Jews. Now he is
quite pleasant and obliging. Be generous;
show mercy TO repenting man. As re-
CARDS ourselves, we forgive him this sin
and all the others he has committed; but
we cannot vote for a man 10 elevate him to
the second highest Office in the country
whose conceptions of justice, equality and
liberty are so narrow and ungenerous."
And such, no doubt, is the feeling of all
intelligent Hebrews toward Grant. If Gen.
Grant had ordered certain individuals ont
of his department it might be well enough,
but when he prescribed all "Jews, as a
Glass;" he manifested bigotry which every
unprejudiced and judicious mind must
condemn.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says:
SIT is said TO be part Of tbeoaths which
the negroes take in their secret midnight
lodges, not only not to vote for any friend
Of Greeley, but not to purchase q doh ar's
worth of goods from them, or in any way
10 give them employment. This is carry
ing things with q high hand, indeed.n
We hope the negroes Of the South win
not permit themselves to be lead off into
any such folly as this. They have already
rlaced themselves in an antagonistic politi-
cal position to the great body of the white
people of the South, and now If they shall
join in crusade to punish that people be-
cause Of their political sentiments, they
will find that 1t viii add nothing to the
comforts or pleasure OF their situation,

kRKAEH AS.

The initial point of the present reign OF
terror in Pope county, Arkansas, was the
killing of County Clerk Hickox. Rev. J.
NJ. P. Hickerson, long Presiding Elder of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, writes a
circumstantial account Of the killing, Of
which he was an eye-witness, together with
some thirty other citizens of Dover, of both
political parties. Mr.. Hickerson states that
Hickox was shot in ssIf.defenss by W.

THE increase Of public officials under
Gen. Grant, has been far greater than those
imagine who have not paid particular at
tentiOn TO this matter. Take the Custom
house at Portland, Maine, as an example.
In 1862, with 8, 428 arrivals at that port,
there were twenty-five officials to do duty.
In 1870, with l ,15S arrivals, there were
sixty-two officials under pay, all the way
down from S6,40O and s., 900 yearto 500
but most of the lower grades about 81, $50.
This is about the proportion of increase in
all parts of the country. When these facts
are considered, it is ne marvel that the ex-
penses of the nation have swelled up to
their present fearful proportions.

THE Joint efforts Of the Democratic and
Liberal Republican Sta'e Conventions Of
New York produced the following State
ticket: Governor-Francls Herman, Demo
crat; Lieutenant Governor-Chauncey M.
Depew, Republican; Canal Commissioner
John Hubbard, Democrat; State Prison In
spector-Col. Enes C. Brooks, Republican;
Congressman at Large-Samuel S. Cox,
Democrat. The above named candidates
are all men of high character and great
ability. These qualities will be universally
conceded TO them by all fair-minded men.
The Utica Herald Grant organ,) whose
editor knows Mr.. Herman well, says:
sIf we are to have a Governor elected
by the Democratic party, personally and
locally we prefer Francis Herman to any of
his competitors. He lives among us, is es-
Unable in private life, adorns his profession
Ay ability and industry, and bears an NJ
light and honorable character"

For many months the Nashville Banner
has been preaching against "dead issues"
showing how every material, industrial and

fighting over our past struggles; and invok
ing the new era of the future, letting the

For along time past the Banner has been
inviting the Democracy to commit suicide,
on the plea that IL is and has been only a
Southern sectional party, calculated to
evoke Northern sectional opposition. In
yesterdays issue, however, it recognizes
such historic entity as the Union Democ-
racy. So it seems atlast confessed that the
Democracy was split as well as the country,
and that secession was after all movement
of the Southern people: in which was natu-
rally involved that portion Of the Democ-
racy identified with that people.
