The Kn-KIux Game.

And so it now appears that those
Florida Ku-Klux outrages were really
nothing but some little personal fra
cases growing out of the expulsion
under the process of the courts of di-
vers loil squatters from property
seized and for time held by that old
pest, the Freedmen's Bureau as aban-
doned lands. Being routed out the
squatters bawled " outrage" manfully ;
but the case was too plain for profita-
BILE use, and so the Radical leaders have
given it up, and the threatened howl
is deferred to a more convenient sea-
son. Ben Butler was, of course, in
the thing, having a large practice
among the purchasers of Southern
lands at tax sale, and whenever the
courts decree that these purchasers
shall vacate on. payment to them of
their disbursements Ben raises a cry,
as in this instance but even Ben's
ingenuity failed to put blood enough
in his wall here. The little Ku-Klux
game is growing very, very stale

HoNEsT.-The Resolutions of the
late Radical State Convention glorify
Grants Administration for its " faith
fulness, honesty and economy in the
collection of the public revenue ? but
they say very little about the manner
in which it has been kept. This vas
very considerate in view of the fact
that they exhibit a roll of some 243
defaulters who have kept about $780,
100000 of the revenues which they
have thus faithfully, honestly and
economically collected from the peo-
pie. In the days of Van Buren's adj
ministration the defalcation of Swart-
out for the paltry sum of about $780,
600 was considered an enormous crime
which filled the air with howlings
against the administration sending it
into retirement and compelling the
defaulter to flee the country, while
now the Radical thieves occupy high
social positions, and the leaders of the
party have the cheek to meet in con-
vention and pass resolutions boasting
of the honesty and fidelity of the ad-
ministration which makes no efforts
to bring to justice the plunderers of
the people. That's little brassy.

The Radicals are eternally prating
about the honesty, morality, and in
telligence of their party. Simon
Cameron, Morton, Ben. Butler & Co.,
who are among its great leaders are
specimens of its honesty; Governor
Holden, of North Carolina, Governor
Butler, of Nebraska, who have both
been impeached, and Congressman
Bowen, who has been convicted of
bigamy, are illustrious examples of
its morality while the horde of ne
groes and carpet-baggers whom they
have vested with the ballot and with
power to rule the Intelligent people
of the South, are the bright and shin
ing evidences of the intelligence of
that party.

THE Radical State Convention in
their resolutions declare that:
"We repeat our condemnation OF
the policy of granting subsidies OF
public lands to corporations and mo-
nopolies." et
That is about the coolest piece OF
|impudence out. After having given
away hundreds of millions of the
public domain to railroad and other
monopolies, to talk about condemning
the policy, is certainly about as cheeky
as anything we have lately heard of
even from the Radical party. You
won't do SO any more, Ell?

The Radicals of Ohio boast loudly
of having, in the last five or six years,
paid off large amount of the debt OF
the State. Now every dollar that has
been paid in that time has been paid
in greenbacks when the debt was Gre
ated when the law made gold and sill
yer only legal tender in payment of
debts. That law was part of the
contracts or bonds which were given
for the State Indebtedness. This they
claim is keeping faith with the public
creditors. On the other hand, the
five-tweDty bonds of the Federal gov
ernment were given in ex-
change for greenbacks, when they
were worth less than so cents on the
dollar of gold, and when greenbacks
were by law g a legal tender in pay
ment for all debts public and private,
except interest on the public debit and
duties on imports, and receivable IN
payment Of all loans nsade,to the UNI
ted States" Now, when the Democ-
racy propose to pay the $50 bonds,
which are the evidences of "Ioans
made to the United States in green
backs, in the same currency which the
Government received, the Radicals
denounceit as rank repudiation. Then
we glory in being called a repudia-

/ THERE was a terrific storm in

THERE was a terrific storm in the
vicinity of Pittsburgh, ON Friday
night at nine O'Clock. The Presbyter-
ian church, in Scott township, five
miles from the city, was entirely de-
molished. The United Presbyterian
church, in st. Clair township, sus-
tanned great damage. The west gable
end was blown in, and the entire roof
taken off and carried a considerable
distance. The storm was the most
violent one for many years. Many
trees were blown down, and the corn,
oats, wheat, and orchards suffered Sc
verely. In the neighborhood of Pal
mersville two barns were blown down
and fences leveled. On one farm five
hundred dozen punches of barley, in
shock, were blown clear out of the
field. The lightning was incessant,
and hail fell at several points. The
lower part of the city, called Hard
scrabble" was flooded, and the people
were compelled to yacate their prem
ises in haste. The telegraph lines in
all directions were prostrated.

The World says: When we get
our Democratic administration at
work in Washington that city will
cease to be the stencil and eye-sore it
now is. The razor-bearing black, we
venture to say, will have to content
himself with using that implement on
folks chins instead Of their entrails,
and the honest laboring white man
will not be driven away with the con-
nivance of the city authorities from
the work which gives wife and chill
dren bread. Peace, in word, shall
prevail there, and the farms for many
miles around bear more plenteously
their kindly hait.It is but cutting
will fall back to the plough-handle,
where he earned his living of yore.

The New York Evening Post is Sc

like peace and order, or even ridicule
it." Fact,

AN exchange gravely lays down the
law that "it is State prison offence
to commit suicide" Theoretically,
such a law would be an admirable one,
but like many other excellent enact
ments, there would be, perhaps, some
practical difficulties in the way of its
enforcement. We supposed it was a
capital offence, punishable with death.

PLAY and Pay.

The Washington Patriot says -
When public men accept high trusts,
and receive liberal compensation, they
at least owe their services, such as
they may be, to the country. Presi-
dent Grant has culpably failed in this
respect, and his conduct deserves the
sternest rebuke."
