capitalist may dictate. siuce
there Is no funding less sums than
one hundred dollars, they are not
taken for taxes, nor is there pro-
vision for their payment after the
expiration Of the three years. This
bill, we take it, approaches so
near virtual reputation as to
make the distinction inpercepti-
BILE.
Taken all in all, however, the
bill is preferable to the one lately
presented requiring the issuance
of a million dollars Of bonds.
That was decidedly too large a
scheme to succeed. 1t gave too
much room for stealing. The
trouble about the bill of Mr.. Ian.
don, however, is that the only
actual money connected with it or
contemplated by it is the payment
of the interest each year. Even
this sum is not provided for. It
simply requires that on the LIST Of
February, each year, 1870, ~, and
rs, the Treasurer shall redeem
such coupons as are presented,
but out Of what money he is to
pay it, the bill does not declare !;
nor does the bill look to any spc.
cial tax for this purpose; nor for
an appropriation by the Legisla.
ture. The hill is decidedly too
faulty TO achieve good, yet is an
improvement upon the million
dollar funding act, and we hope to
see some other legislatcd attempt
to improve upon this, and in time
possibly, one may be introduced
which will meet the requirements
Of the occasion.

TOUCHING the extravaganza sto.

Senate by members of that body
in regard to the operations Of the
Ku Klux in the Southern States,
the N. Y. Express says; "As for
murders and other crimes, we need
not go to the South to find them.
They are at our doors. They are
in our city by scores and hundreds.
They are in our State-as witness

SOUTHERN XVI KLuX.

Every Northern Radical spouter
and writer is full of abuse Of the
Southern people on account Of
the bloody and fcrocious deeds Of
the Ku Klux. The severest legisla
ton is they say perfectly justiia-
bic towards the whole people Of
the South, because of the horrible
misdeeds of this terrible and
bloodthirsty Ku KluX. Their
brothers of the South take up the
cry and hound on the Northern
masses. Radical letters and news
papers in the South TEEN with nc.
counts of the atrocities of the
feared and desperate Ku Klux.
The people Of the South have
heretofore laughed at the state.
mcnts; treated the whole matter
with indifference and ascribed it
to the teachings Of the Radical
leaders, who originated these sen.
sational statements for party pur-
poses. But while there has been
no truth whatever in the state.
ment that such an organization
exists, and while the people of the
South have attached no impor-
lance to the statements, knowing
them to be untrue, they have
proved a powerful influence in
shaping the destiny Of the South.
When driven from their odious
positions by the force of argument
the extreme Radicals have invari.
bly, reinstatcd themselves, by de.
picting the horrors to which the
loyal were subjected in the South
by the terrible Ku Klux. Radicals
of the South have repeated these
stories so often that they have
not alone convinced many per.
sons Of the North that such or.
CARNATIONS do exist here, but they
have almost convinced themselves.
1t is but natural, however, that
they should believe in the exist
ence of the Ku Klux. They can.
not imagine how the people of
the South have so long quietly
submitted to the outragcs and
wrongs heaped upon them by the
Radical party, and aghast at the
extremes of cruelty to which they
have gone, they justly anticipate
that swift punishment must come
from some source; and thus,
out of their own guilty con.
sciences, they create the dread
Ku Klux. This organization has
an existence alone in the fears
of the Radical party in the South.
The members Of that political or.
ganization know that they richly
deserve severe punishment for the
atrocities of which they have been
guilty, and in dread anticipation
they await its coming from some
source, and that source they have
chosen to call the Ku Klux.
There is the creation Of the Ku
Klux Khan in a nut shell.

THE MAXORALTY OF VICKS.
BCBG.

Are the people of Vicksburg to
be forever vexed to death BY this
subject? Is there no means by
which it can be legally shown
whether Gen. Weber is Mayor
Of Vicksburg or not? We arc
fully satisfied that he Is not the
Mayor, and that he cannot be
made Mayor without an UNJUST
fable violation of law. As we
have said before We make no wal
upon Gen. Webber as an individ.
ual, but we war against the prin.
ciple Of which he is the repre-.
sentative. That principle is one
which totally disregards law, both
municipal and State. II, by the
most liberal construction possible
to be put upon the Constitution,
authority can be had for his ap.
pOintment by Governor Acorn,
the act is yet illegal, since it dis
regards an act of the city ordi.
nance not repealed by the State
Constitution. General Webbcr is
not an elector in, nor a citizen OF
the State. He has neither been in
the State nor the city sufficiently
long to enable him to hold any
office under the laws of the State
or Of the city. Why then is he
continued in office? Why make a
farce of such a responsible posi-
ton? Why keep up the endless
wrangle and quarrel about the
subjectS One Of the Judges OF
one Of the courts declared by the
Attorney General to be yet in ex.
isteHce, has officially declared that
General Webber is not the Mayor
Of the city, What is the result of
this decision?
Il was made upon trial on a writ
Of ha6eas corpus. The result will
be that every criminal confined by
General Webbor will be released
by appearing before Judge Leas,
upon u writ Of hGbeas corpus. 1t
virtually makes all the acts of
General Webber utilities. He
will be but the figure of a Mayor
without the authority of one. He
cannot enforce any Of his edicts
because q Court has already been
found which 10 ready to, and has
declared his acts as Mayor illegal.
And yet in the face of this cOndi-
ton Of things Governor Alcorn
has not the moral courage to ad-
NIT that he has made q mistake;
not the nerve to say that while be-
ing the first law officer in the
State he has been the first to VIC
late its clearest provisions. He
prefers that 3 wrong shall con-
tinue; that the law shall be out
ragged rather than admit that he
has made q mistake. II the PEG
pie of Vicksburg desired to, they
could not elect General Weber
Mayor Of this city. Their act
would be illegal and Governor AL
corn would not sustain them in it,
yet he himself violates a law which
he would not permit the citizens
to disregard.
