THE KU-KLUY GETTING Their
DESERTS,

II is an important announcement when
comes from North Carolina, that one
court has been found in that State willing
IN do its duty upon the ku-klux. AT Raleigh
.1udge Bond has passed sentence upon ten
of the khan who will have to suffer punish
mont for their crimes. Two of them are
sentenced to six years imprisonment at
hard labor and fine each of five thousand
dollars one to four years and fine of five
hundred dollars two to three years and
similar fine three to two years and a fine,
and two to six months Imprisonment.
If these sentences are faithfully carried
out it will do more than martial law to
prevent ku-kluxism. 1t is surmised, how
ever, that the convicts will not be safe in
any prison in North Carolina, but will
have to be brought north for safe confine-
ment. A few more such examples would
end the organization. But it is only where
the republican party prevails that justice
can be melted out The late republican
victory in North Carolina has strengthened
the courts and enabled them to stand up
against the lawless elements. The in
fluence of the act will be felt in other
Southern States-the beginning, we hope,
of better things in the South. This and
the election returns from the Northern
States must be joyful reading to the ter
ror stricken people where the ku-klux
have ruled.

THE NEW YORK FRAUDS.

The revelations in the gigantic robbery
of the New York city treasury continue to
swell the proportions of the great wrong
inflicted upon the people of that city. As
the courts go on with their investigations,
and the conspirators turn upon each other
in their desperation and efforts at escape,
the truth grows clearer. 1t is not only in
New York that establishment takes pos
earthed, but everywhere they are the sub
ject of amazement and discussion. The
most favorable feature for the plunderers
at the outset was the very extent of the
robbery with which they were charged.
1t seemed impossible that the reports could
be true. They appeared like vast exagger-
atoms. But all that is over. New York
would feel relieved to know that things
are no worse than represented in the ex-
posures so far made. The last accounts
from the robbers are that they are endeav-
oring to secure their booty. The Tribune
says
at is well understood among bankers and
others, and freely commented upon in finan-
cial circles, that the Ring leaders and their
numerous adherents have lately been transfer
ring their plumber to other bands, and putting
it in other names. We have alseady shown that
a transfer Of $500, 900 in United States bonds
was lately made by Mr.. Connolly to his SON.
in-law, Judge Fithian. The immense sums
held by Garvey, Ingersoll, Tweed, Connolly,
Sweeny, and Hall in the Tenth National
Bank-in which all of those named, except
Garvey. are Directors-are said to have been
transferred to other persons since the injunc-
ton of Judge Barnard was granted. VIM. M.
Tweed has kept small balance in the Union
Square Bank for long time. On Thursday
of last week, the day before the injunction
was granted he transferred over $4,000 ON
deposit in this bank to his son. He has been
selling portions of his real estate, the value
of which. it is said, aggregates $2,364, 800
Some of the Stafford Pavement people, who
keep their accounts in the Union Square Bank,
have also been transferring their money to the
safe keeping of friends not involved in the
public frauds.
We have further been informed by persons
whose names are at the service of the COM
mittee engaged in investigating the rascalities
Rendering Company is largely if not wholly
owned by the wives of New York city officials.
1t is impossible, of course, in the very nature
of things, to confirm this reformation at this
time, but it is stated upon the authority of a
former officer of the Company, who doubtless
knows whereof he speaks.

THE MIXED COMMISSION.

The Commission appointed under the
Treaty of Washington commenced its session
at Washington on Monday. The United
States Commissioner is Hon. James G. Fra
zier, of Indiana, and the councillor Hon.
Robert S. Hale, of New York. The British
Commissioner is Hon. Russell Gurxey, VI
p. and Recorder of London; the councillor
agent Henry Howard.
The claims growing out of the Alabama
piracies are referred to the Board of Arbitra-
tors assembled at Geneva. The Mixed Com
mission at Washington are, after framing the
regulations for their action, to consider all
other claims that may be presented and adj
Indicate them. They are authorized to ap-
point an umpire; and, falling to agree upon
one, the King of Spain is authorized to make
that appointment. The treaty relegates to
this Board all war claims against Great
Britain excepting those arising from the Ala
bama and similar ocean piracies, and all claims
of British subjects against the country.
These consist principally of losses by seizures
of cotton after the real termination of the war,
since IL ia expressly stipulated that the Com
mission shall entertain no claims for the
emancipation Of slaves, none of British sub
Gets who resided in the south and none urged
y blockade runners. The Commissioners
are authorized to hold sessions ct New York
and Boston, to procure evidence; or they
may require the testimony to be presented at
Washington. The Commission to adiudicate
the hshery troubles will meet at Halifax, when
appointed Another Board, contingent on
the conclusions Of the Genevan Commission
on the Alabama claims, may also visit Wash
ingtons New York and Boston to take testi
mony, and decide the validity and amount of
losses arising from the depredations of the
Alabama and her sister ships But this, if
called, is distinct in its composition and func-
tons from the Mixed Commission now as
sembling. The San Juan question is also re-
ferred independently to the Emperor of Ger
