The Bloody Assizes I'm South Car
OIina-Arrest of Defenseless Cit
izens on Trumped-upC Charges.

From the Charleston News October 9Th.
The United States Marshals have
made q number Of arrests in Spartan
burg county, and it is evident that the
sansuinary threats Of Governor Scott
and Speaker Moses are producing the
expected effect upon the Federal Off,
Gals. These will not submit to official
decapitation while they can save them
selves by narrowing defenreless citizens.
and, il Governor Scott can sufficiently
overawe judges and juries, we may
look forward to bloody assizes in No
vember.
One man who is imprisoned as a sup
posed Ku-Klux, was arrested, as the
Spartan says, without warrant, or an
affidavit that he had been guilty of a
violation OF law. Neither President
Grant, nor Governor Scott, nor their
myrmidons, care for the solemn
declaration of the Constitution of the
United States, that no person shall be
deprived Of life, THIRTY or property,
without due process Of law" They are,
indeed, working outside Of the Constitu-
ton, and there is worse TO come. Mr.,
Stoball Scrugs, eighty-one years Of age,
was rudeIy dragged to Jail. Mr.. Elijah
Garnett, Captain Jack Henderson and
Mr.. James II. Ezell, all Of them far
advanced in years, are also held in du
rance upon the charge that they are
guilty of acts that could only he per-
formed by young and active men.
The other Spartanburg prisoners are,
VIM. HUMPHREYS, Green HUMPHREYS,
Alfred Burke, Canty Griffin, Sirah Bag
well, John Bagwell, Richard Wildwood,
and Columbus Mitchell These per-
sons have been arrested upon affidavits
(where affidavits have been made at
ally made by the most trifling characters
in the county.
These citizens are arrested that they
may be tried by juries manipulated by
Governor Scott and Speaker Moses,
and may be sentenced by a Judge
Bond, to years in a Northern dungeon.
Their innocence, or their guilt, is not
an an element in the calculation. A
batch Of convictions is required to jus,
tify the Ku-Klux bill in the North, and
to justify interference with the freedom
OF elections in the South. What man.
ner of outrage" is the paltry excuse
for the arrests in South Carolina can
be shown from the columns Of the Col
umbis Union-Governor SCOTS organ
which for months has enlivened its COL
umns with accounts of Ku-Klux whip
pings and murders. All the important
stories of ku-Klux violence which the
Union has printed have been shown to
be untrue.

SIMON CAMERON.
what Pennsylvania Republican
Paper Thinks OF Him.

The Philadelphia Telegraph, a strong
Radical paper, thus speaks Of Simon
Cameron, Radical Senator from Penn
sylvania. Let the people read and re-
member that this is from a Radical
source, and is spoken Of Radical Sen
ator. The Telegraph says:
at is reported that Simon Cameron
intends giving new exhibition OF his
characteristic audacity by meeting the
Russian Grand Duke Alexis, on his
arrival here, and rendering to him the
Inequalities Of the city and State. The
pretext for this assumption Is, that the
fact that Cameron was the American
Minister to Russia eight or nine years
ago, renders him specially fit person
to meet and greet a representative
OF the Gar. lnasmuch, however, as
Cameron's real business as Minister at
st. Petersburg scarcely consumed forty
eight hours OF his time, and as he made
the Punishment to which Lincoln sen.
fenced him a mere pretext for drawing
the outfit and salary of a position
whose duties he never seriously pretend
ed to discharge, it is an insult to Alexis,
rather than an honor, that this laggard,
negligent, and neglectful Minister
should now assume the Office OF acting
as his host. But it is especially infa-
nous that Cameron should assume the
right OF speaking for this city ard this
State in any place except in the United
States Senate. He bought and paid for
the privilege of holding seat in that
body, and trafticking in the interests OF
this Commonwealth.
Let him make the most OF that
bargain. 1t is our shame, and the
shame ofthe Senate itself MiddIetown
Shylock got his pound Of flesh but
while he is privileged to acquire all the
wealth, honors, and satisfaction that
his sordid nature can reap from the
office that he filched, through corrnp.
ton, from betrayed people, even his
brazen hardihood should shrink from
the PRONUNCIATION of the base falsehood
that he is in any sense the State, or
that he possesses any special right to
act or speak for it, save in his chamber
nominated in his bond He is a
United States Senator by virtue of pur-
chased votes aud by reason Of his vic
tory over confding constituencies; but
such a triumph should seal his lips in
all matters save those which have q
direct reference to the body in which
he bought the privilege ofinsulting the
people he perpetually disgraces.

The Warning has been
Needed.

Since the exposure of the attempts made
by certain INSCRIPTIONS local dealers, to
palm Off their coarse astringentS, made from
cheap and impure materials, in the place OF
the great national tonic, Hostetter's Stem-
ach Bitters, public opinion has set strongly
against these empires and their prepare.
tons. Their occupation is gone or soon
will be. When the light is let into decep-
ton 1t soon willis down. Persons who trifle
with their own health, by using unknown
preparations, with no guarantee to sustain
them, when an established specific, proven
by twenty years experience to be exactly
what it is claimed to be, Is within their
reach, are sure to repent their temerity.
Many have done so in this instance, but IL
is hoped that the truth plainly spoken has
arrested the evil. In the meantime the de-
mand for the leading protective and resto-
rative medicine Of America was never so
great as it has been this season. From the
fever and ague districts Of the west, south
west and south, 1t is literally overwhelming
and 1t may be said Of the advices from all
parts OF the country Of the cures 1t is effec-
ting in dyspepsia, bilious complaints, and
chronic constipation, that "their name is
legion" Everywhere the sick and feeble
seem to have realized the importance OF
Holding fast that which is good" and OF
ave ding what is spurious and dangerous.

MARK TWAIN tells the following funny

MARK TWAIN tells the following funny
incident: "Why, captain, YOU appear
to have bad cold" Eyes, madam,
said the captain, who is fond of work
ing in his garden early in the morning,
in his shirt sleeves, Il suppose | de-
serve it. Icaughtit while breaking the
seventh commandment last Sunday"
The party, male and female. started
and looked blank, and the lady who
brought out the remark said, as well as
a choking fit would let her: "Well,
upon my word, captain, considering the
unusual circumstances of the case, and
your present surroundings, it was hardly
necessary for you to enter into such full
particulars" When the innocent
captain got home he found to his
amazement that the seventh command
ment does not say, Thou shalt remem-
Der the Sabbath day to keep it holy"

THE CHICAGO FIRE.

The great fire in Chicago is still the
Chief topic OF thought aud conversation.
As reliable and detailed accounts are
received, it is fonnd that the former re-
ports of loss were not as widely exag
gerated as we all hoped they were' out
that the truth exceeds even our fears.
At least one third ofthe city of Chicago,
a portion embracing the finest buildings
and most valuable property In the city,
has been destroyed, and tits not too much
to say that one hundred thousand persons
are rendered houseless by this calamity.
Many of these persons are not only
without shelter but also. without ioou'
and must look to the bounty o. their
more fortunate neighbors for subslst-
ence during many days to come. 1t Is
difficult for our people to realize these
appalling facts. A district three times
as large as Wheeling is reduced to
ashes, and four times as many people as
constitute the entire population It this
CITY are now destitute flood and shelter
The circumstances appeal strongly to
the sympathy and to the more sub
staatial assets Of our people. Other
cities are doing molly, but there Is likely
to be need for all that can or will be
given, and no man should hesitate to
send whatever relief he can afford
There is no danger that there will be
100 much, or that our offerings will be
forestalled or useless. There are thou
sands of heads of families in Chicago
who are thrown ont of employment by
this fire, and, even though their homes
may have escaped the ravages OF the
flames, those who are dependent upon
their daily labor for support will soon
be in suffering condition. The ex,
tent Of the calamity and the restitution
it will inevitably create are almost be-
yond comprehension, and we'll nigh
beyond relief. The citizens meeting
last night made a good beginning, and
we trust that the committees appointed
to solicit subscriptions in the various
wards of the city may meet with suc
cess commensurate with the duty Of our
citizens and the demands of the hour.

TIE TEXAS ELECTION.

The complete and sweeping Demo
cratic victory won in the recent election
in Texas is all the more gratifying and
encouraging in that it was unexpected,
In the last Congress Texas had three
Radical representatives and one Demo-
crat; in the next, all four will be Demo
cratic, our party friends having carried
triumphantly every district in the State.
Radical rule has been heretofore main
tained in Texas by a course OF legisia-
ton somewhat similar to that by which
the Radicals strove to keep themselves
in power in West Virginia. There is
no particular act OF disfranchisement in
force, but a registration law that has
generally proved effective in excluding
from the polls all whom the Governor
wished to exclude. The elections continue
during four days, and all votes must be
cast at the county seat Thus an OPP
portunity is afforded for transporting
gangs of negroes from one county to
another to swell Radical majorities, and
after all the Governor has a power OF
revision OF the returns. Against all
these adverse influences the Democrats
have carried the day, elected their can
didates in every Congressional district,
and thoroughly redeemed the State.
1t can be no longer doub;cl that Texas
may be relied upon to give an over
whelming majority for the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency in 1872,
and thus six electoral votes may be adj
ded to the Democratic column.

INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES.

Here and there throughout the State
disconnected individuals who have a
higher appreciation Of their own
abilities than is entertained by the mass
Of their neighbOrS, are announcing
themselves as independent candidates
FOR the Legislature or the Constitutional
Convention. They publish long winded
cards devoted to self-laudation, and the
denunciation Of the candidates who
have been regularly nominated in &C
cordance with the usage Of all political
parties, and make pitiiul appeals to
their friends TO assist them in dividing
the majority and thus putting their
political foes in power. These "inde-
pendent" gentlemen have generally ar
rived at that stage of political demorali-
zation that, leads them to prefer the
success ofthe Radicals iftheir individual
ambition be thwarted. They are will
ing to sacrifice principle and destroy
the cause for which they have pre-
tended to labor, if their neighbors
think any other person better qualified
to bear the standard of the party than
they.
Our observation is that these independ-
ent candidates are generally men who
are but poorly fitted for the daties Of
the position to which they aspire,
The mere fact of their refusing to sub,
nit to the customs and usages Of the
party shows that they have no regard
for its welfare, while their overweening
anxiety for Office furnishes a tolerably
good reason why they should not be
chosen. Office seeking is the bane of
our political system, and the most serious
evil of republican form of govern
ment. The theory that the Office
should seek the man; that the people
should of their own accord designate
the man whom they desire to elect; is
too often reversed, and the very men of
all others who should not be chosen,
are those who are most persistent and
importunate in their demands for place.
Conspicuous among these are the whole
brood of independent candidates"
whom the people everywhere would do
wisely to let severely alone.

Unsichtiy Statistics.


The Radical newspapers would, per-
haps, be less shocked at the amount OF
the stealing credited to the "Tammany
thieves" if they would figure up the
amount of plumber carried off by the
carpet.bag thieves OF the South. Let
them look at some of the figures. For
instance:
In 1860 the debt of Louisiana was s!o,000O0
In 1869 do do 22,500000
In 1870 do do 100000
In ISL do do 100000
In 1856 to 1860 the State tax ranged
from 81 to 90 cents on 500. In 1860
1866, 81 cents; in 1869, Is cents; in
1870, 81 As; 1871, 50; with an excess
OF expenditures over receipts OF SS,H9'-
0l8.l5.
So in North Carolina, in 1868 the
State debt was sll 100000, and is now
$40, 100000, and the State tax required
to meet all expenses amounts to - on
the 800, and the whole property OF the
State is assessed at only $780, 600.
In Arkansas, the debt in 1868 was
100000, and is now 100000. In
Texas, in 1868, the State needed SSH
26S Sc, provided by means Of tax Of
Is cents on 800; in 1871 the expenses
are S., 1858 SO, and the tax 81 20 on
800. In Georgia, the State bills In
1869 were SG62,600; in 1870, 81 49,
02l o.. In 1869 the total bonded debt
of Georgia was $6,554, $50, and in 1871
the registered bonded debt is $50, 49,
500.
