Editor Wilmington Journal On Satur
day, the DIST intant, great outrage was
perpetrated in this county by officers and
soldiers of the L. s. Government. While
the Kings Mountain Baptist Association,
a body representing over three thousand
commandments, was i'll session at Bethle-
hem Church, one Newton Long, Deputy
L. S. Marshal, and one Archibald Moss,
who seemed TO Lave some authority from
Long, rode up, accompanied by squad Of
armed u. S. soldiers detailed from Colonel
HaIts'S command in LincCl lntOn, surrounded
tue Church and forbade the people to leave.
Long and IIOsS were both drunk, and
Long cursed and sworc very freely. The
proceedings of the Association were COM
pletely broken up. The pastor OF tie
Church went out and endeaVOred 10 per-
suade them to leave, and Oh their refusing
to do so, the Sheriff OF the county arrested
Long for disturbing religious assembly.
The soldiers cooked their guns upon tie
Sheriff, and commanded L. G to come out.
Efforts were made to induce them TO be-
have. and they were promised that they
would not be arrested further for violating
the laws Of the State and of the United
States, if they would quietly leave the
Church grounds. They rode off in the
direction of the spring, and many members
of the Association returned to the house,
thinking they ~ ere gone. But they soon
returned, end were galloping over the
Church gtouufs with their guns and
pistols. and broke up the Association that
evening. When the people STATED home
they found the roads picketed by soldiers
who were under Longs command, and
even women and children We're arrested
with guns pointed at them, and compelled
TO wait the pleasure of this fellow Long,
before they could get home. Moss, am
informed by an eye witness, cCcked his
pistol at young lady who was driving of
in wagon, and threatened to Shoot her II
she didn't stop at ONCE. The whole pro-
ceeding was an outrage upon religious lib
erty perpetrated by officers and soldiers OF
the u. s. Government. The eXcnsf they
rendered for their conduct was that they
were searching for one Maybemy, who was
charged with being Kl-klux.

To The EDITOR OF The JOURNAL:

10 IHE EDITOR OF L HE JOUkN AL:
To-day 1 happened to get hold of the
Eten{ng Post of Thursday last aud, for
the first time, noticed III it Mr.. Rourk's let
ter. / remember holding a conversation
with Mr.. Rourk at my house, but really |
cannot recoliect ever having mentioned the
number of facts over which he seems 10
eXult All that | sal amounted to this,
that for Fty part l am a staunch Greeleyi:e
Gin the Integrity of my heart. " 1t az
peared to me that the sentiments Of tie
colOred people are SO persistently in favor
of the reelection of General Grant, that
any attempt to disabuse their minds would
meet with a signal failure. Neither eloquent
appeals nor logical reasoning would, i'll my
opinion, have any effect in inducing them
to vote for Horace Greeley. The very
name of Mr.. Greeley-a name which, but
a very short tune since, was SO fondly asSo-
ciated in the mind of the negro, with the
most sacred rec0llectiOns Of tue late ter
rible contests for liberty and freedom,
seems now to sound in their ears as a
synonymous tenn for slavery a 1d oppFes-
sion. Their prediction for Gen. GIANT
is, indeed, of SO bigoted nature that they
even go so far as to regard him as their
tuteiar deity, and to deny outright, in the
very face Of recorded facts and oral testi-
mOny, that Mr.. Greeley was ever all abe
HtlOnlSt. III tact they polut TO him with
the finger of late and disgust, as having
been most prominent and active dema-
goeuc of a faction which long struggled for
the perPetua'iOl of slavery in the land.
Before ciC sin :, it would be well To- let
Mr.. tu'lrk know that though I was born
and educated in England, [ lived eight
Years in the l nitcd States Of America, and
did hot fail to undergo the prescribed for
maIities which render foreigner a nat
uralized citizen, and tllus invest him with
the prcrogative of casting his vote at the
baIlVt-b"X. In regard to the assC rtiou that
l delivered before the Iadical Republican
club an address in favor of Gen. Grant, 1
beg most emphatically to state that it is ii
! downright falseho0d. On the contrary,
strongly advocated the cause Of Horace
Greeley, stating in plain language my
reasons for doing so. | appeal to the
veracity of those who were present on the
occasion to cOuoborate this statement.

By the death of Hon. Garrett Davis the
country loses one Of its ablest, purest and
most conspicuous public men. The life Ct
the deceased Senator was in great part de

last moments Of his venerable cid age.
Born in Mount Sterling Kentucky, in 1901,
he was liberaly educated and admitted t.

unappreciaiive, and rewarded her ycuH"

terms iii the House Of Representatives, and
in 1861 was elected TO the United States
Senate, where he has continued To repre-
sent his native State ever since. Mr.. Davis
had always been noted for his untiring yet
unassuniug zeal in behalf OF his constit-
uents and the public in general. In Con
gress lie was always actively employed In
the duties of his Office ard was working
member Cf many very important commit

distinguished Senator, and bis rlchest leg

corruptibility. His entire and unselfish pa

most malignant political opponent; and lie

G rant-What He Knows abOut Nayy
Yards and their TSesy

People generally have simple sort of
idea that navy yards have something to
do with the navy; in fact that they are
places where ships are built or fitted for
sea, and it is this idea that has reconciled
ttnem 70 the enormous appropriations Of
money that the Government fro1n time to
time DECLARES to be absolutely necessary
1or their support. However true this may
have been in other days, it is evident that
the present administration acts upon an
entirely di4eren: notion. Nowadays the
navy yard is treated as part of the inter-
political machinery of the Radical Party.
This conversion from national war power
10 partisan political one, however strange
1t might have seemed in other days, is in
perfect accord with the notion ofthe ':eternal
Illness of things" OF an administration
whose policy may be summed up in the
Wilmington journal., 1872-10-04

This ticket he voted under the eye of his
