Eclectic Magazine.

The October number Of this magazine is at
hand, and its contents are of more than usual
interest. The article from the "Quarterly
Review" on Darwin's Descent of Man, is by
far the ablest and most scientific attack that
has yet been made on this remarkable book.
Among the other articles of note, we enume-
rate the following: "Sir Walter Scott; The
Herschels and the STAR Depths; War, a Poem

Ku.Klrx outr.xes.

The prompt denial Of Ku-Klux outrages in
Spartanburg county by twenty-six prominent
citizens of the county, including Federal Off
cials and State Senators, has elected response
from Senator Scott. In his letter to General
Grant, urging the proclamation of martial
law, be said: "The cruelties that have been
perpetrated in Spartanburg and York coun-
ties are shocking to humanity.
The members of these organizations-the
Ku- Klux-have again resumed their arms
and their midnight raids of brutality and as
sassinatiou." He now confesses that he was
deceived by bis informant. He has since
learned that no outyages have been commit
ted 10 Spartanburg county, as was alleged,
but that young man has been whipped in
Union county, on the borders Of Spartanburg
county, and that one Of the persons arrested
And this is actually all be has to say in justi-
fication of bis audacious assertion that "the
Ku-Klux had again resumed their arms, and
their midnight raids of brutality and assassi.
nation" He even admits that the parties
who were guilty of the outrage in Union coun-
ty have been arrested, and Of course are to be
tried by the Federal authorities under the Ku-
Klux law, and be now puts on an air of ten
der sympathy and solicitude and says; "No
one will rejoice more than il in the counties
afflicted by these occurrences the rights and
privileges of all citizens can be secured and
protected without resort to the extreme limit
of power entrusted to you by law" Yet this
man, on the strength of barefaced and most
malignant falsehood, was swift to demand a
resort to the very power, the exercise Of which
he now hypocrtically deprecates. 81 Baltimore

Not n Delicate.

We mentioned last week that Washing
ton Willis was one Of the delegates from this
county to the late Radical State Convention.
It seems this was mistake, Notwithstanding
his name appeared in the report Of proceed
ings in the Baltimore american. Willis, who
is very honest and respectable colored man
declares that he was not aware of his ap-
pointment as delegate, nor did he know that
his presence was expected at the Convention
We mention this not only to correct the mis-.
take, unimportant as it may be, but to call the
attention of our colored voters to the fact
that this is the kind of respect their white
Radical leaders have for them. They want
your names to give color to their proceed
iugs-your votes to give them Office.

have been anticipated, most disastrously.-
The ill-feeling created has destroyed the use

Frauds.

How gladly we echo the voice of the Balti-
more Sun, says the Eoening Journal Of that
city, when It cries for investigation of frauds
from all quarters, and especially from the
down-trodden and pilfered South. This has
been our cry from the beginning. 1t is the
bugle note that should ring in the ears of the
enemy from ten thousand quarters. II hon
est investigation is resorted to, we feel safe in
predicting that not one in a thousand of the
official thieves who have infested the South
will be found with clean skirts.

Death from Hydrophobia.

Stephen E. Mattiugley, aged % years, son
Of Francis E. Mattingley, of Chaptico District,
was bitten by mad dog on or about the 10th
of July, ult. Not knowing that the dog was
mad, little attention was paid to the bite, par
ticularly as the wound soon healed. On
Monday Of last week, young Mattingley was
attacked with chill, which was followed by
sore throat and fever. On Tuesday the usual
symptoms Of hydrophobia were developed,
and on the day following, the unfortunate
youth died 10 great agony. His worthy fam

10 the direction of the moet complete social
equality which this class might be disposed
to make. Some Of those now acting with the
Republican party in this county assert that
this thing Of "mixed schools" can never be
brought about. that they. are IS much oppos-
ed to it as any one, and have 80 much conf
deuce in the assertions Of their leaders and
the humility of the colored people as to rest
easy upon the subject But the history Of
Republican rule in the South and in the Dis
trict of Columbia should be sufficieat to open
the eyes Of all those who are apprehensive
upon this subject. What has been done else
where will not be left undone here when CIR
cumstances are favorable to the project
Those members of the Radical party who
have the ability to send their children to select
schools, can afford to be Indifferent 10 regard
to this matter, but the poor man cannot. He
must either consent that bis sons and daugh-
tiers shall mingle together in the same school
with negroes, or be deprived altogether Of
educational privileges.
Since the above was written, the proceed
ings of colored Republican meeting, held in
Baltimore, have come to hand, from which it
will be seen that the negroes Of that city not
only demand admission to the public schools,
the jury box, &C., but declare that they will
support no one who is not "unquali6edly
pledged" to sustain such measures. We make
the following extract from the proceedings:
Meeting of Colored Republicans.-The COL
ored Republicans of Baltimore held general
meeting at their ninth ward headquarters last
evening. A preamble and resolutions were
adopted, the first enunciating equality under
the law in the privileges of the common school,
the jury bor Of tie Federal and State Courts,
in the conveyance Of the common carrier, and
10 the right of the citizen to keep and bear
arms, which are measurably denied the color
ed citizens of Maryland. The resolution was
to the effect that "this principle be made a
feature in the coming gubernatorial campaign,
and Incorporated in tie platform of the Repub-
Hcan party, and delegates to the convention
Of September 9Th be instructed to vote for
those only as delegates to the State conven-
ton and members Of the State central COM
mittee who are unquali6edly pledged to vigor-
ously sustain these measures"
This is the feast to which the people of
Maryland are invited. The refusal on the
part of the blacks to support any one not
pledged to sustain these measures. will neces-
