A veritable Cyclops Of the Ku-Kiux
Khan has turned up in Murfreesboro, in
the person off Radical clergyman named
STEWART. II seems that this preacher
was the Joint occupant Of g house with
one ST. CLAIR, whom he was anxious to
eject. The law not being equal to his
assistance he bethoUght him Of the Ku-
XIX plan, and sent him an order of
which the following is a copy, covered
with e sword, time-piecei q skeleton
head, and other such suggestive illustra-
tons:

SoUTH-SUMAARY VENGEANCE.
By order Grand Cyolops, X. X. X.
In response toCyclops and citizens, you, Ben.
st. Clsir, are marked for abduction between
this date and the first day OF March, unless
provided the Yankee preacher Stewart, WHO
never lid the South any harm, is restored to
all the privileges he Wouid have II renting from
an honorable southern gentleman. Unless
obeyed within twenty four hours, before sun
day morning a note viii be sent TO Mr.. Stewart
rJui the midnight cavaliers, assuring him pro-
tect on from US.
ct. CLAIR not being one OF the sosry
kind, paid no attention to this notice,
farther than to scqusint his friends with
the fact Of lie reception, and that ne be-
lieved the Reverend STEWART to be the
author. This, the Murfreesboro Netos
states, was acknowledged By STEWART,
who, on his knees and in tears, promised
ST. CLAIR the entire support OF the Re-
publican party if ne would only prevent
lis publication. This was very properly
and the truth of the matter was
accordingly laid before the public of the
In the columns OF the Ne0s. So
tsr the Radical authorities have taken ne
towards furnishing STEWART, and, !
that he hss been deserted by his
congregation and is visited with the con-
tempt OF all honest men, his status is
unchanged. Now, had STEWART been q
Democrat or q Conservative, there can
be little doubt he would have been

that Congress enact law requiring the
Governor of Georgia to convene the
members first elected to the Legislature
(includingc the colored members who
were ejected,) and admit only those to
seats, who will take the oath required
by the reconstruction acts. 1t recon-
mends that the members Of Congress
from Virginia be admitted to their seats
regarding that. State fully reconstructed
The results Of the elections in Texas aud
Missippi, are not known. The President
hopes that the action of those States will
besuch as Congress will approve, and that
their reconstruction be complete. In
regard to Cuba and the Tariff the Presi
dent, recommends "no policy"

Immigration.

The Daily Meas, last week, published
u letter from the nritish Consul at
Charleston, Mr.. H. P. Walker, to Gen.
Hagood, President of the South Caro-
lima Agricultural and Mechapical Socie-
ty, informing him of the arrival of
party of immigrants on the steamer Mar
mora, and asking for reliable informa-
tion, to enable him to aid these people
in selecting homes in our State.
Those Counties which, through the ac-
tion of their auxiliary Agricultural So
cieties, will offer the best inducements
to settlers, will of course receive them
An impetus has certainly been given
to immigration, and it is one of the chief
duties of our County Agricultural Socie-
ty to make provision for the reception of
these new comers.
Besides introducing into each county,
che very best Of zens or laborers,
their settling in the county will change
the majority in the ballot box.
There is no telling but that by liberal
and handsome offers upon the part of our
planters, who have land aud even. houses
unoccupied, a sufficient number of these
emigrants could be induced to settle in
Orangeburg.
Let our Agricultural Society attend to
It, We call attention to the article in
another coiamn about the Newberry So
