In order to destroy free opinion and crush out political opposition, in a country boasting free institutions and cov ered by tho segis of the American constitu tion, to have organized a secret conspiracy against a party, against the courts, against local and national authority, against law, order, life, property, liberty, AND TRUTH, will be looked back upon in after times, with an amazement as painful as profound.

H. _. Bond, Judge of the United Statet Cir- Sir—We have tho honor in the interest of tlie peace of the people of North Carolina to address you this note. The fact that a secret, unlawful organization, called the Ku-Klux or Invisible Empire, exists in certain parts of the State, has been manifested in the recent trials before the court over which you preside. We condemn, without reservation, all such organizations. We denounce them as dan gerous to good government, and we regard it as the eminent duty of all the good citizens to sup press them. No right-minded men in North Car olina can palliato or deny the crimes committed hy these organizations, but we think if the fur ther prosecution of the persons charged with these offences was continued until the November term, It would enable us to must all law-loving citizens of the State to make an euergelic and ef fectual effort for the restoration of good order.— "We assure you that before the November term nf the Circuit Court we believe that this unlawful organization will be effectually suppressed La presenting these considerations lo your Honor, we declure that it is our duty ami par pose to exert all the inlluence we possess, and use all the means in our power, to absolutely sup press this organiza lion, and to secure a lasting and permanent peace to the State. The laws of the country muM and sball be vindicated. We are satisfied, and give the assurance mat the people of Norih Carolina will unite In arres-iing and forever obliterating an evil which hrluas nothing but calamity tn the State. In the name of a list of honorable people, and by all the con siderations which appeal to good men, we solemnly protest that these violations of law and public justice must and shall cease.

It brands them as false—all false—and it burns, as with a red hot iron, on the forehead of this party the ineffaceable words and letters Remember the sad antecedents of the foul business in Carolina, which has come to grief in these Raleigh trials. These Ku-Klux bands so filled society with terror, that tho State courts could take no cognizance of their proceedings. Houses were burned, men and women and children whipped, negroes abused, murder, argon, burglary and theft committed with defiant impunity. No local grand jury durst recognize facts attested by cindeis and naked chimneys, by the lacerated per sons of maimed and bleeding citizens, and by other equally obtrusive and painful evidences of a high-handed and brutal law- The coarts failing to give the due protoc 'tion to society, the State government undei took to perform the sacred duty. We all iknow the result. The State government was successfully resisted. It proved pow erless before the energy and audacity of the Ku-Klux. It went down in its encounter with this impel ium in imperio. The Gov ernor of the State was impeached, broken of his office, and exiled from the State.— Throughout the entire period of these oc currences, there was energetic, violent, in dignant denial of the existence of that "invisible empire" which was intend ■ed only to be felt and whose horrid -deformities were made visible only to its victims. Too powerful for the local ■■society, too powerful for the State author ity, ensconced in falsehood and denial, protected by the iterated mendacity of the wealth, intelligence, aye, even the religion ■of the better class of society, it' ruled and reigned in Carolina, until Congress passed a law which authorized the national judici ary to turn its imperial EYE upon these transactions. The result has been as signal as it has been speedy. The spear of Ithuriel has pouched the squat toad, and instantly has been revealed in full pro portions of form and loathsomeness, this Fiend of Hell.

I A calamity, unexampled in our history n its magnitude and effects, has overtaken the peoplo of the city of Chicago. Scores of thousands of men, women and children are homeless and starving—the victims of a visitation so sudden and overwhelming and extensive, that it has swept from e.\ stence every local means of aid at the same moment that it has multiplied by the thou sand fold the need of that aid. In tho presence of this disaster I invito my fellow-citizens of Richmond to assetu >le and take such steps as to them may seem appropriate for extending assistance to the unhappy sufferers, and to that end 1 !iavc taken the liberty of calling public meeting, to convene at the City Hall, Thursday evening, at 8 o'clock. A. M. Keiley, Mayor. An Hour of Terror.—Last night about 8 o'clock a severe storm of wind sud denly fell upon the city. Houses and trees j creaked and swayed, and the streets being dry ar>l very dusty, a most wild and tern ale scene was presented. Clouds of dust, leaves, twigs ami great branches of trees filled the air. People in the streets seemed panic-stricken, anil even the poor horses and other animals became frantic with fright at the sudden and terrible scene around them. To add to the terror of the hour, an alarm of fire was sounded. This brought hundreds of people already quite excited by the dreadful disaster at Chicago, into the streets, fearful that our fair city might also become the prey of the lire licud. They ran hither and thither through tho blinding dust, each eagerly inquiring, "Where is the fire?" Happily no conflagration lent its terror to the occasion, and tho excitement soon subsided, as did also the violent wind. A gentle ram ensued, and the city assumed its wonted peaceful appearance.

We speak thus because we aro friendly to the theatre and are anxious to see it a fixed institution of Richmond but unless our advice is regarded, we cannot but pre dict a failure at an early day of that which we hope so much will succeed. Old John Rorinson's Card The Price of Admission Reduced. —Old Join Robinson would respectfully announce to the people of the State of irginia, that ii consequence of the partial failure of th crops in some localities, and the genera depression in money matters, that in view of the immense patronage he has already received, and hoping for a continuance o the same, he has concluded to reduce the price of admission to his great Three Ten Show, Museum, Caravan, Menagerie ant Circus, i. c, 75 cents for adults, and 5i cents for children under ten years of age instead of $1.75 cents, which was charget through the State of Tennessee, on accoun of the exhorbitant high rates of license imposed upon the exhibition.

Let the good :er your Cases in the tes Courts. —A. circular to j the United States courts has y the Department of Justice, em to devote themselves ener- I getically to the prosecution of the cases in which tho United States is a party. A let ter to that Department from the Commis- j siooer of Internal Revenue, says there are i more than one thousand suits instituted I under the internal revenue laws undecided in these courts, many of which have been pending for several years, and that many thousands of dollars have been lost to the I government from the unnecessary j for the government having disap- J peared and sureties upon bonds i j urges ttiat the largest number of pending i cases, both old and new, be brought to trial j and final judgment at the ensuing term of j these courts and intimates that the gov- l eminent will hold District Attorneys pri marily responsible for failure to bring the j cases to speedy trial.

Its destruction must make a loss j f nearly half a million of dollars. The i Vcademy of Design, on Adams street, was j ompletetl only about a year ago. It wa- work of exquisite beauty, and its galle- j ies and studios were filled with many rare vorks of art, among them being Bother- vol's great painting of the battle of Get ysburg. In the Opera-House Art Cal ory were also many great paintings and works of sculpture. lloolcy's Opera House, on Clark street, vas formerly known as Bryan Hall, built iy a gentleman well known in this city. Its ■hicf historical interest is that it was there that the remains of Stephen A. Douglas lay n state for several days before they were j arried to their final resting place. Wood's Museum, on Randolph street, was an im- 1 nense building, and contained a very great number of curiosities. The Dearborn-St. heatro was a handsome, but not very large tructure. The burning of these public Holdings has entailed a loss of millions of ollai's, and of course throws many persons ut of all means of livelihood for the pre- Aiuong the great disasters whose agtrre ate makes up the fearful calamity of the rrcat fire there are few which will appeal now universally to the sympathies of the i itelligent public than the destruction of the fiices of the great daily journals of Chica- to. Every one of these great offices is laid JW in ashes! The Tribune. The Chicago Tribune building was the j inest building of the kind in the world. It was erected during 18fiS, at a cost, if wo re ollect correctly, of about $$75,000. which urn of money was made by the Tribstnc I newspaper in a period of nineteen months, 'he building was of a beautiful stone, of a ight gray color, of a beautiful bright luster, Hit not glaring like white marble. It wits bur stories in height, the press, folding and nailing rooms being in the basement, the counting-room on the ground floor, the editorial, proof-reading, library, and compo sition rooms occupying the whole of the btirth story. Tho pressrooms contained wo eight-cylinder Hoe presses, one of which is said to have been the finest ma chine of the kind in the world. Its cost vas $32,000. The greatness of this estab ishment may he conceived when we state hat the expense for news editor.-;, corres pondents, Ac, is about 110,000 a week. The Times.. The building was of Joliet marble, four stories in height, with a basement for prer-s ami folding-rooms. The site of the build ng .is on Dearborn street, one-half block north of the Tribune office. The. property was worth, perhaps, a quarter of a million. Tbe profits of its proprietor, who is __t> chief editor, were last year about $80,000. The Kvcniuu Post. The office of tho Editing Pent was on Madison street, a few doors west of the Tribune. In the same building is also the Staat.t-Zeituiti/, and adjoining, in a similar buildiug, is that of the Keening Mail. The block was of Joliet marble, basement and four stories, and very handsome in architec ture, as it was immense in size. The presses used here were Hoes' four and two cylinders. Counting-rooms, editorial-rooms and all were very excellent, and the loss to the different companies publishing these journals must be hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Republican. The Republican office was in a plain building on Washington street. The press was a six-cylinder hoe. The loss in build ing and material would not amount to more than $100,000, if so much. The Eveiiinß Journal. Every one who has visited Chicago, stop ping tit the Tremont House, will recollect tlie Journal building, opposite on Dearborn street. It was one of tho few venerable relics of a former generation of which t 'hi cago could boast. The building was a plain, four-story brick. The conveniences of the office were gootl, and tho loss must be very heavy. With the tfestruetion of these offices of the daily journals several hundred men are temporarily thrown out of employment. Compositors, pressmen, carriers, messen gers, and the like, who need their pay weekly, can not number less than a thou sand. There are probably 5,000 souls dc i pending upon them for their daily bread, and many of them are now utterly without shelter Irom the rains ami storms of heaven. The lakeside Publishing Company's great house has gone. This had in opera tion about seventy presses, and was one ol the greatest printing houses in tho West It published the Lakeside Magazine, other periodicals and journals, ami books. The loss of the company will be very great. If we reflect a moment we shall see how serious is this destruction of property amounting, in journals and printing estab lishments alone, to several million dollars and throwing thousands of persons out o employment, out of bed, out of homes. The Uiirin 1 Hotels. The Pacific House, just finished at an ex pense of 62,500,000, was the largest bote in America, and only surpassed in exten by two or three grand hotels of Europe. 1 was built of granite, Joilet marble, am iron. The Sherman House, larger than any hotel in New York, was built of Joilet marble. The Tremont House was im mense in size, but built of brick, hand somely adorned, however, with architectu ral beauties. The Briggs House was about equivalent to Willard's Hotel in Washing ton city. Tho Palmer House, comer o I State and Quincy, was completed only a MM ago. It was of great size, built a I Joiict marble. It was nine stories in heigh furnished in the most tasteful manne lhroughout. The loss by the destructio of this hotel must be very great. The St James, the Adams House, and other larg hotels have fallen before the dread destroy er, so that at present not many travelers t Chicago would have where to lay the President Grant's Less. The property of the President of tl -lir'veil liy the liro. Field, la iter Co. This was the greatest retail house in the dry goods trade in Chicago. It also did a large jobbing business.
