johnson Defends the Ku.Klux.

Reverdy johnson, the great AmeTi-
can Turnkey in England, has found
time for an interlude from his hand
shaking, toast making and wine-bi-
bling with Rebel sympathizers. He
devoted to writing n letter, in which
he pronounced untrue a statement by
the London Nc1Cs that Il condition OF
anarchy, ruffianism and murder pre-
walls in Texas. The Minister says
that in fact, the condition of society
in Texas is not worse than in the
other States of the Union.
This assertion the Ncws firmly out
respectfully meets, and hangs the
m~endacious Minister upon n very
large skewer-proving by a citation of
undeniable facts that the eX-Rebels
have established in Texas n reign of
outlawry unequaled elsewhere, save
in barbarOus countries. And it tells
Mr.. Johnson, to his teeth, that its
New York correspondent, from whom
the facts were derived, is either better
informed or considerably more hon
est than the American representatives
at the Court of st. James.
Mr.. Johnson has not the excuse of
ignorance. He was until recently in
this country, and in 4 position TO be
entirely familiar with the facts whose
existence he now 50 unblushingly
denies. Under circumstances, his
defence OF the marauding slaughter
ing Ku-hluX, is n rare specimen of
effrOntery an insult TO the intelli-
gence of the British public, and an
outrage upon the loyal sentiment Of
his Own cOuntTymen.
1t is said that Johnson at Washing
ton s~ympathizes with and sustains
the course of the johnson at London
which is very natural, as they are
both narrow-minded funkies by
nature. So we suppose the country
must endure the burning disgrace of
this misrepresentation until March
next. Then we hope President Grant
will make haste TO recall the faded
Beau BTUmmel of slaveholding aTis-
tOcracy, and send TO the Court of st.
James some one like George William
Curtis, who will show u British
cousins what is the true type of an
American gentleman and scholar.

The Snnfhnrn RariKaI-

The South is just beginning to feel
the happy influence of the cotton crop
in the market. 1t will probably sell
for about S225, 600, 600 cash, which
cannot fail TO improve the condition,
and it is to be hoped the temper and
conduct also, Of the Southern people.
The New Orleans Times, of the 10th
inst, says that ALREADY twenty mill
lions of dollars in cotton have changed
hands, and several millions of other
products in that city alone. That
paper manifests lis JOY as follows:
"Our factors last year were unable TO adj
vance to any large extent. The planters
were forced 10 depend upon their own re-
sources. They adapted themselves TO the
new situation with great fOrtitude and man.
illness. They went TO work to achieve their
independence and they have succeeded.
Hurrah! for free and independent Cotton
domi No negroes 10 pay for, no expensive
outfits, Injuries, or deferred payments on
more land; no grocery bills, and no large ar
rears Of expenses for fashionable summer
tours. All, this year, is solid pront-ther re-
suits Of economy industry, thrift and a good
season. The twenty millions already re-
ceived for the cotton sold has mostly gone
into the country TO pay the hands and settle
small accounts at home. Tn whole amOLot
will come back to this city about Christmas.
The wages Of the hands, which used TO go out
of the State in the shape OF interest on the
investment N SlaRcS- VIII nov now 10 anu
be expended in our city"
The Times could not put the argu-
ment in favor OF the free system bet
ter than il has done it in the above,
and if it is consistent, it Will do all in
its power to foster it. But cotton is
not all. The Times proceeds to say:
Adding the various other products which
come to us-tfteen millions OF sugar
and mOlasSes, three or four millions ofrice,
and twenty-five or thirty millions OF other
products OF the Mississippi Valley, and the
OF New Orleans promises TO present
this year the most magnificent prospect Of

ton into other and less inviting sections Of

The manner in which the Erie war
was taken into the United States
court, and the way in which 1t was
managed there was the shaTpest bit OF
legal dealing which the managers of
the road have attempted. Judge
Bernard had appointed Jay Gould,
a leader in the Erie ring, receiver.
Judge Sutherland, of a higher court,
had vacated that order, and appointed
Judge Henry E. Davis, Z well-knOwn
aEi high-toned citizen, TO the place.
TIC take the office from his hands, the
managers of the road took the follow
inc steps. 4 New Jersey stOckhOld-
er, Whiepley by name, was put up.by
the managers as complainant against
them before Judge BlatchfOrd of the
United States court. Whiepley rep
resented himself as owning about one
thousand shares of stock, which he
proposed to sell. But fearing the
management of the company would
be such as to deprive his property OF
value, he prayed for the appointment
OF a receiver, to prevent that result.
Such an order could not be entered
upon notice if the defendant objected.
The defendants were notified, and
made No objection Therefore Judge
Blatchford appointed Jay Gould as
such receiver, and authorized him,
upon giving m million dollars Sc
crrity, to receive and investthe assets
OF the road, to the amount OF eight
miIlionsi This viii make a differ
ence of inst about eight millions in
the amount handed Oye to Judge
Davies, if his character As receiver is
recognized. IF anybody knows Of q
piece of sharp practice which excels
this in ingenuity, he is better inform
cd than we are.
