LIFE IN NORTH CAROLINA. frm the ,V. 1'. JWbwK. ' '' ' ' 1 For several mouths pnit (bo niaila have been burdened with reports of outrages by organ ized gangs of thieves and murderers in North Carolina. Horses und mules have- been run oft' from the farms of the fioedmcn and white KermblicanB,' dwellings have boon pillaged, houses have been burned, and numbers of men have been shot down by the roadside, or otherwise deliberately murdered. The De mocratic papers at the North have affected to disbelieve the stories, or at any rate to deny that the crimes were committed by a Becret organization. So earnestly, however, have the State authorities pursued the desperadoes, that twenty have been captured, many more have turned State's evidence, and in a pre liminary examination of the prisoners at New berne the secrets of the league have boen so clearly exposed that no doubt of its character und purposes can any longer be entertained. It seems that last Junuary five colored men and one white man, confined in the Lenoir county jail at Kingston on charge of dese crating a grave-yard, were taken out and shot by a company of regulators, and their bodies thrown into the Nouse river. A special officer was appointed by Governor Holden to trace out the perpetrators of these murders, and at the same time to detect the band of outlaws who had long infested Lenoir and the adja cent counties. For a long time his efforts were unavailing. The citizens were terrified into silence, and the local magistrates were afraid to render any assistance. Sheriff Col grove, of Lenoir, who had caused the arrest of one Ilines, a member of the band, was murdered. Several negroes were killed, and many other persons were threatened. At last, in August, sufficient testimony was obtained to justify the arrest of eighteen persons, and others were taken afterwards. The preliminary examination began before Judge Thomas, at Newbern, on the 31st of August. Some of the prisoners were charged with murder, others with robbery, others with arson; but it was proved that they all be longed to a regular secret band. Three mem bers of it George W. Tillou, Joseph P. Par rott, and Joseph Lassiter turned State's evi dence, and testified that the name of the organization was the Constitutional Union Guards, though it was popularly called the Ku-Klux Klan. The first officer was styled the South Commander; under him were North, East, and West Commanders, and various lower subordinates. The members at initiation were asked: "Do you believe in a white man's government ? Do you promise to labor faithfully for the over throw of the Republican party ?" They were Bwom to resist encroachments upon their rights if necessary by force of arms; to obey implicitly the commands of their offi cers, even to the extent of murder; and never to divulge what was said or done at their meetings, or any other secret of the order. They were bound to rescue any of their com rades who fell into the hands of the law, either by bailing them out of jail or breaking them out, or swearing to an alibi, or by get ting on the jury and standing firm for acquit tal whatever the evidence. In their Becret meetings they sentenced Sheriff Colgrove to death, and planned the manner of his assassination. They voted the death of a detective named Wilkie, a magistrate named Shepard, and Governor Holden's special offi cer, Captain Mowers, though fortunately their bloody designs were not carried out in full. A negro named Grant, who was expected to tes tify against some of them, was killed by order of the South Commander. Two of the gang who got into jail at Kingston were forcibly released by their companions. About forty Union men are supposed to nave been assasi Bated by them since the close of the war. Whatever absurdity there may be in the grips and passwords and secret ceremonies of these Ku-Klux gangs, there ia a horrible reality in their work, and we cannot afford to laugh at their grotesque antics. Most of the prisoners have been held for trial at the next term of the County Court, and one of the most conspicuous a lawyer named Monroe is meanwhile committed without bail on charge of murder. The trial will very pro bably result in a further development of the extent and political affiliations of the orgaai zation. At present we know that it com prises about 100 members in Lenoir, and is also spread over the adjoining counties; that the chief objects of its hate are freedmen and prominent Republicans; and that its watch words are "Death to the nigger!"' and "Down , w ith the radical party ! " A SPANISn FLEET IN NEW YORK. From the X. Y. Time. We announced a few days since that some thirty gunboata were building in this port for the Spanish Government, to be used, as we apprehended, against the insurgent Cubans. From reports it appears that these vessels are only of about 175 tons capacity; that they are to carry a single 100-pounder, and their quota of men and officers will not exceed twenty-live men. They are obviously intended for coast ing warfare; to scour the rivers and bays navi gable only by vessels of light draft, and to co-operate with land forces. These vessels are now under the surveil lance of an American man-of-war, upon the complaint of the Peruvian Government that they are designed to go to Cuba to replace and set at liberty the larger Spanish vessels now Btationed on that coast, for warlike ope rations against Peru. What evidence of this purpose may be in possession of our Government or of the Peru vian Minister we are not advised, but we infer that whatever there may be is not in a shape to be used, as no libel has yet been filed by the District-Attorney against any of these vessels, though they have been lying under the gunB of the Federal nayy for several weeks. No one will have any doubt of the purpose for which these boats are constructed, or if allowed to leave this port, that Cuba is to be the theatre of their first activities. One of the number could be equipped and sent to sea in thirty-six hours; hiteen more m from four to six weeks, and the rest in three months. It is apparently the intention of the owners to Bond the fifteen most ad vanced to sea first. Within six weeks, wfnrA. the Federal Government must ithar to release them, with the cer tainty that they will be used for the imraedi- ata and ruthless destruction of the white popu- f niiha. which, almost to a man, is compromised with the Government at Madrid, or It luunv uu- . . . ,. Ke is any evlance upon which a valid libel could be filed against one of these boats They are built by a friendly power to be usod aa a part of her coast guard, and in the nre w A KTX. , " - .i..Hnna with Hnaiu we have 1 .l.to n tin ttlOIll. Mn1 " . Ttain them than he would hove to detain an American frigate I which might casuallv touch for coal and water at vaaiz or rerrol. - Hie question then recurs, shall our Gov ernment turn a deaf ear to all the appeals of the revolted Cubans that we would observe a strict neutrality between thorn and their op pressor; snail we allow these vessels, uum and manned in our harbor, to be used to crush a people whoso only crime, like that of our 6wn revolutionary forefathors, consists la refusing to be taxed without representation ? This is a question which must be docided by the Cabinet at Washington within the next thirty days.' To strip it of some of its diffi culties, the President availed himself of an invitation to proffer his mediation between the Spanish Government and her colonists. The Madrid Government, however, was too weak to contend with the public sentiment aroused by its adversaries against the very proposals which, if made, it had promised to entertain, and now. it would appear by the latest advices, our mediatory offices have been deliberately withdrawn, and we are left to de termine what part, as a Government, we are to take in a struggle which threatens to take Berious proportions. To concerto belligerent ngnts to uuoa in the present teui)er of the Spanish mind would be equivalent to acknowledging her independence, and that would mean war. Neither France nor England would be unwill ing to Bee our reviving commerce cut down to the root again by privateers, hpam has very little to lose, and much to gain, by a war with us. We should be the principal if not the onlv certain losers. The contingency of a war, therefore, must now be deliberately looked in the face. Is the Cuban cause our causef Will our national honor or any cherished policy bo compro mised by the suppression of this rebellion? Are we in any way responsible for the inhu manity of which Cuba is now the theatre, or are we under any neighborly obligation to employ force to stop it to stop a brawl by making a war to extinguish a fire by a de luge? Are we called upon to add soveral hundred millions to our debt to pile up the burdens of taxation, already grievous to be borne, upon thirty millions of Americans, and tread the brinks of national bankruptcy tor the next twenty years, in order to ameliorate the condition of three or four hundred thou sand subjects of a foreign State? And on the other hand, are we to stand by, consenting like bt. 1'aul to the stoning ot Stephen, and see a people murderously crushed in its noble efforts to follow an example which the noblest of our ancestors set them scarcely a hundred years ago? We have hoped that bpain would spare our Government and people the necessity of an swenng these questions, it would be wiser for her never to force them to a decision. A few weeks remain within which we are at liberty to hope, even though we do not expect Spam to relieve us trom the paint ui alterna tive to which we are reduced. It is as well, therefore, for Americans to wait for any solu tion of these questions which time may pos Bibly have in store, and not complicate the situation by prematurely proclaiming a policy for which, under the providence of God, no necessity may arise. SICKLES' SOOTHING SYRUP, From the N. Y. World. It is proverbially impracticable to educe a whistle from a pig'B tail. It is now proven to be equally - impossible to make a political Grandison out of a personal blackguard. Mr. Grant might be excused for the ignorance of this fact which he showed in selecting Sickles for the Spanish mission but that there were those about him who must have apprised him of it, and that even a Grant cannot be igno rant that far worse things than mere black. cuardism made the appointment of a Sickles to any public position an outrage alike upon the people he was sent to represent and the people among whom he was sent to repre sent them. That a low-bred rowdy should be made an ambassador was bad enough; but that a flagrant criminal should be made an ambassador was altogether intolerable. That Sickles should disgrace us by his official actions, as his official presence was itself a discrace to us. was a foregone conclusion to the Wcrltl when he was appointed. And now it has become plain to all men, though some men and some journals, whose sincerity we can only grant on tne nypotnesis oi meir insanity, persist in asserting their disbelief of it. There was nothing in the position assumed by the Government ot the Lmted states, in accordance witn wmon tne instructions to Sickles must have been drawn, that was neces sarily offensive to the Spanish Government The proposition he was undoubtedly told to make was to oner tne mediation ot this coun try in the differences between Spain and Cuba, and, in case those differences should be found irreconcilable, to guarantee the payment of such a sum, not transcending a fixed limit, as Spain should be willing to accept in lieu of her cisatlantic possession. There was nothing, we say, in such a proposition, properly put, to excite the indignation, although it might meet with the refusal, of the Spanish Uovernment. liut it was absolutely certain that Sickles would not put it properly. Imagine a man, born and bred a blackguard, whose most prominent characteristic is an utter absence of moral perception, and whose next prominent characteristic is a craving itch lor notorioty, by whatever means at tamed, intrusted with so delicate a message as this, where he has the choice, by the man- ner in which he chooses to deliver it, of ap pearing in the character of a mere messenger or of a truculent bully, uould it be doubtful for a moment which horn a Sickles, sheltered under the shield of an official inviolability, would take of such a dilemma ? He has done precisely what the power which appointed him to fulfil a function for which he was as fit as a street scavenger to be a master of ceremonies ought to have foreseen he would do. He has caused the Spanish Government to attribute the extrinsio insolence of a mes senger to the intrinsio quality of his message, and has naturally treated both with a common contempt. Observers, foreign alike to Spain and to ourselves, have been smitten with wonder at the display Sickles has made of himself, and the discredit which his position has enabled him to bring upon his Government. To these observers, who know Sickles only a an am bassador, and not, as we do, as a felon, this wonder is natural. But no American need wonder at it. The London Times is moved to say that the American Minister "does not appear to know the value of words." How could such a man bo expected to know it ? A man whose early manhood was passed in the pursuit of pandarism is inevitably at a loss whou. in his riner years, he is called upon to conduct negotiations of a different order from those which occupied him then. That he should difigust decent Spauiardtf was a thing of course. But that he ia in a position where he is able to disgust them i not so much his own fault as the fault of those who thrust him there. And if he is suffered to remain there, his infamy will be shifted from lis own shoulders to those officials, or rather to that officer, in whose power it is to retain or to remove him, and to those demoralized journals which counsel his retention. THE CUBAN QUESTION AT HOME AND ABROAD. From the X. T. Herald. " The Cuban question is likely to bo for a time a very lively one. Spain, according to the latest accounts and the tone of a portion of the Spanish press, is excited and threaten ing. All at once the Government and the people of Spain appear to be indignant at the inendly interposition or ollered media tion of the United States. Some of the newspnpers talk of war, even, and dwell with pride upon the surprising prowess of tho "Iberian race. All this llobadil extrava gance would only cause a smile of ridicule if it were not for the'possible sad consequences to the (Julians and to hpam herself. The atti tude of a portion of tho Spanish press may embarrass tho Government of Spain and cause more useless bloodshed in Cuba; but it will have no effect upon this country or the ultimate destiny of Cuba. The Spanish journalists imagine they can frighten the United States Uovernment trom its pur pose or policy, and a part of the British and European press, with the so-called Thunderer at the head, bos turned tail and deigned to give this country advice as to the terrible dancers which threaten us from the indigna tion and power of Spain. The old jealousy of and hatred to the American republic crops out here again, as it always does whenever there is a prospective difficulty between this country and any European nation. We are cousins and people of the same blood and all that sort of blarney when the English want anything of us or want to avoid any difficulty with us; but whenever there is a chance of fomenting war either among ourselves or with any foreign power the British pros3 never fails to stir up the strife and to give the United States an underhand blow. This is just the case now with regard to Cuba, as it was in the case of tho Southern Rebellion. But all the small thunder of the Spanish, Bri tish, and 1 rench press is understood on this side of the Atlantic, and will not terrify us in the least. If it were real thunder we should not be terrified, but we know it is only the sort of stun theatrical managers manufacture to give effect to their spectacles. ror do the bogus reports trom Washington about the administration backing down in its Cuban policy, or about General Sickles being alarmed and taking back lr - i,rtes to the bpanish Government, amount ' , lung. They are simply canards inventta in the in terest of Spain or to damage tho administra tion. Our despatch from Washington pub lished on Xhursdav gives the tacts in the matter. The President and his Cabinet hold the same ground with regard to Cuba, and approve of the action ot General Sickles. Is or is there any reason to believe that the Spanish Government contemplates taking any step likely to involve itself in difficulties with the United States. The fuss about Cuba and this country in some of the newspapers of Madrid is sensational andrxade for political effect. This win all subside. It bpain will not accept the offer of the United States, the recognition ot the Cubans as belligerents and the independence of the island are inevitable. Our Government has not taken steps to stop the war and to secure the independence of Cluba without mature consideration, and it would be absurd to suppose that this great country would back down from its policy. LOUIS NAPOLEON'S RETIREMENT. I'rom (lie A". 1'. Sun. The destroyer of the French Republic- is said to have resolved on putting his house in order, that he may await in retirement the summons which finally comes to all mortals. This is judicious. He certainly needs spirit- uol preparation before answering to his God for his crimes; and, like women whose life has been more distinguished for adventure than for purity, the Emperor would do well to follow the example of Louis XIV, and to in dulge in a ht ot religious meditation before bidding farewell to earthly schemes. , We suspect, however, that, like the great monarch, the present incumbent of the throne of bt. Louis believes himself to be tho btate, and will cling to this doctrine to the bitter end. Behind the Senators and the Regency of Eugenie, or the premature majority of the Prince Imperial, the will of the moribund Emperor will continue to be the law of the land. It matters little who is the ostensible head of France; so long as Louis Napoleon lives, ne will be ruler. I The London Times cannot be perfeotly sin cere in its expressed belief that La Tour a Anvergne or any other Minister can vir tually control the destinies of France, as Gladstone or Clarendon shapes those of England. Constitutional government is the slow growth of time and politioal maturity, and cant be conjured into existence by a JSenatua Coit&ultuiii granted to the people by a desponding autocrat in the hour of his danger. If Napoleon is so ready to hold out ims uait to tne rench Liberals, it is because he knows it to be a sham. It is useless to disguise the fact that Napo- Icon's good as well as his bad qualities com bine to give mm that occult power which he alone, and no one else, knows how to wield. If the French have put up with him for those eighteen years, it was not from a love of his dynastical claims, which thoy knew to be tainted by the alleged illegitimacy of his birth, but from the materialistic tendencies of the majority, which impel them to tolerate a usurper who would help the rich to become richer and the poor poorer, rather than to subject the regulur routine of society to the discomfort of a revolution. But this tendency 1 1 l aSi. 3 J1 . Tl 1 iiuving una us aay, me r rencn see that .Na poleon only plays into the hands of the armv. vue plutocracy, ana me clergy, at the same time that he increases the public burdens and lowers the prestige of France in foreign countries. France is tired of him; though Drains nave in some decree made un for the defects of his heart and conscience; but what in the world could induce the French to grant their confidence to the Prince Imperial, who has no other claim than that he is the son of his lather? We believe the Napoleons, legitimate or illegitimate, are played out. .As a bridge be tween the chaos of the first revolution and a new order of things, they have done some good conservative service, but there is no occasion any loncrer foilsuch a bridge; and, moreover, the French have been taught the wholesome losHon that a reitm instituted for the restraint of revolutionary passions may even prove more onerous than revolution itself.
