THE recent Indiana "Kuklux'' af-
fair at New Albany, where a party of
men forced their way into the Coun-
ty Jail and hanged four prisoners
who were awaiting trial for an ex.
press robbery, arouses the virtuous in
dignation of the New York Tribune,
which says, that in Indiana:
The forms oflaw have been mock
cry; trial has been farce; Judges have
been corrupt juries have been fOrsworn
crime has organized and taken the
administration of justice into its own
hands; members of gangs of thieves
and highwaymen have held up their
heads with tlIomost respectable peo-
pie; there has been no security for
life or property, no punishment for
the most glarlng Outrages. A horde
of banditti, such as have given sad
notoriety To Oneida County in om
own State, appear to have spread
over portions of Indiana, and wrest-
ed the machinery of the courts u
their fell purposes. They have not
been content with using the poniarl
of the assassin, but have seized upon
the sword of Justice herself. Much
rs wemay deplore the crime by which,
the citizens have avenged these out
RACES, we can hardly wonder at it,
They felt that the law gave them nc
redress; brute violence was their only
resource,
The root Of the evil Is corrupt ju.
dietary. The remedy is ut the ballot.

WE are pleased to learn, through
our exchanges, that the South IS be-
coming eonvincedsof the Importance
of manufactorIts, OF various kinds, to
the development Of itsprosperity and
political power, whether re-admitted
into the Union, or held in perpetual
vassalage to the North. Want of
capital is a great drawback to the sue
cess of this wise and essential policy,
yet much can be accomplished blythe
aggregation of small sums, and still
more by the conversion Of untitled
lands into money and securities for
money to be applied as above indi-
Gated.
The large profits realized from such
manufactures as are already in ope-
ration should encourage the building
of others, and capitalists who double
lock their safes for fear portion of
their contents may escape from com
finement to enter into the active SER
vice of the South, may learn from
these profits that there is a better in
yestment OF their capital than a place
in tire-proof safes.
Capt. Peacher has set an example
that ought to he followed by many
M this COMMUNICATIVE is to do on
a moderate scale, rather than not do
at all. He has made beginning in
the right direction, and that is halt
the battle.

THE WHISKY TAX.

The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Times writes as fol-
lows: .... rf
No one here credits the statements,
which appear to obtain some degree
of confidence elsewhere, that an eff
fort will be made to increase the tax
on whisky 10 It's old standard. Prom
inent government officials hold that
for the interests of the revenue moth
ing could he more disastrous, and the
common sense of Congress will GER
tainly preserve II from committing
the absurlity of altering 1t. The
leading members of the Ways and
Means Committee are satisfied with
the present working Of the law, and
regard its continuance MS the best
thing possible for the government.

NOTWITHSTANDING the force and
fraud brought to bear in favor of
Grant in the late election, it appears
that in the vote of twenty-eight
States, aggregating $685., $50 votes,
his majority is 303,1aS And as the
negro vote in five Southern States
amounted to 919,3S4, it is clear that
Seymour got about 10000 majority of
the white vote. This state Of things
would make an honest, heightened
candidate blush for victory thus
achieved. -. ...

NOTHING can better illustrate the
dangerous anddemoralizing tendency
of the reconstruction measures than
the fact that Underwood, U. s.
Judge, is turning loose the worst class
of convicted felons in Virginia, upon
ground that the courts which tried
them are illegal according to the pro-
visions of the fourteenth amendment.
The amendment was, doubtless, FASH
ioned with aview to the protection of
Radical voters whose instincts incline
them to the commission of every kind
and degree of crime. ....

THE policy of Congress i'm building
up railroad, as well as a shoddy and
"whiskey ring" aristocracy, and the
movement to obtain governmental
control over all Geographic lines, is
striking evidence Of the intention to
consolidate the government and
make IL monied despotism over the
poor majority, whilst the favored few
revel and riot in stolen wealth and
Unborn corruption.

AMONG late proceedings In Congress
we see House resolution to print
thirty thousand copies of flashy eulo-
gies upon Thad. Stevens and Others of
that ilk. A small item for tax payers
to digest. A pension bill reported by
Washburne, and adding twenty three
millions more to the burden Of taxa
ton.
The notorious Mullins asked leave
to get after the kuklux, but objection
was made and he has to wait.
These are fair specimens of what
Congress is doing for the honor and
prosperity of the country-no not
fair specimens, for this partizan waste

Power laid his rod of rule inside, r
And ceremony doTd his pride. a..
