The Military Bill Passed the Senate ON
Monday Night.

The passage of the bill is simply
a declaration on the part of the Leg
islature, of want of confidence in
the willingness and wisdom of the
Radical officers, throughout the State.
to execute the laws. This is hard
hit at the Radical Judges Solicitors,
Sheriffs. Justices and Constables that
have been< entrusted with the exc
cution of the laws, and the custody of
the peace and honor of the State. We
admit that it is all true of them, but
we hardly expected this Radical Leg
islature to be so cruel as to thus pub
iicly declare it on them.

Radicalism u Failure.

Every true native son of our good
old State. who feels that North Caro-
lima is his home and his mother, as
we'll as every adopted citizen who has
come among us for the purpose of ac-
curing a local habitation and identi-
flying his interests with ours, must feel
Inundated and sorrow stricken when
he looks around and sees the utter
prostration to which we have. as a
State and a people, been reduced in
the short peace of year and a halt
under the mad, stupid, reckless and
fraudulent administration of the party
in power.
We can look at or think of nothing
that has passed under. their control
that has not been contaminated, or
deeply injured.

We say. rave on, we Radical plum

fraud and corruption are FAST coming
to an end. The people, insulted and
robbed. will not much longer suffer
you to pursue your foul practices and

Judge Tourgee opened this court on
Tuesday, he reported the sickness of
his wife as an excuse for non attend
ance on Monday, but no one believed
him.
Since he retired behind the Speak

concoct a fraud upon the people, no

tells the truth. In fact. before that
memorable occasion, he had lost all

Damned Lie.'

Reader,it is not our intention TO he
profane in using the caption above.
but only intend to place before the
eye the subject matter of the present
article. The Radicals, it seems, hav-
ing failed to effect their object of
creating excitement stirring up
strife, and perhaps, of producing
bloodshed, by passing the military
BILL, for the better accomplishment
for their nefarious political purposes,
now seem determined to reach the
same end by exciting discussion, re-
cital of imaginary outrages. and such
harangueS as have tendency to
array race against race. And all
this while the people are moving on
peacefully and quietly; at least as
much so as in any other State or COM
munity, and wondering what all the
stir and hullabalOO means.

AS to any threats of violence, we care
no more for them than we did Tor the
Governors writing to President Johh-
