While some of our Republican cotem
poraries are still endeavoring to make PEG
pie believe that Carl Schurz is Republi-
can, laboring only for reform within the
party ranks, his friends in Missouri. calling
themselves Liberal Republicans" have
called convention and propose again tc
unite with the Democrats of that State
for the purposes of the ensuing election.-
The manifesto is published in the St. Louis
Republican, and is signed by all the men,
beers of the Legislature and State officers
whom Schurz could influence The body
of the Liberal Republicans - go with the
regular Republican organization for union
and harmony. 1t is thus seen that it is a
sheer waste of time to counsel any one to
keep in the ranks such man as Schurz.-
The longer he stays the more mischief he
does, and the sooner he goes the better for
the Republicans generally.
Much the same kind of trouble was taken
to avert with President johnson. But it
was all Il waste of effort. The man had
his followers, who misled him and them
selves as to their Importance and the num-
bers they could lead off. And when at
last the breach had to come, and the NAL
contents had to leave the party, they were
amazed at the insignificance of their fol-
retrenchment resolution and the action of
the President on the report of the Civil
Service Commission, show clearly that if a
breach should be averted it will be by the
shrewd management of the President rath-
er than by any good sense on the part of
the malcontents. We cannot help point
ing to the calm, reserved, shrewd manage
ment of the "silent soldier" for whom
some of these talkative gentlemen profess
to have so poor an opinion. They cannot
attribute his actions to his Cabinet for he
has changed his advisers so much that few
of the original members remain in Office.
Yet the moment that anything becomes
advisable, it is done. We hear little more
of Ku-klux Outrages, and the Mormon
problem is about solved. COchiSe, the
Apache leader is coming to Washington.
and the Civil Service Reform is ordered to
go into effect. Somebody must draw up
the plans. Somebody must give the orders
But Grant is essentially plain, UMPIRE
tending undemOnStrative man. He has no
can't phrases, no impressive sayings. He
makes no figure to look at, and has moth
ing to say for effect. Quoth one of the
indictments, ''He sits and smokes.' Aye,
and "he sits and smokes " TO some purpose
He sat and smoked when Pember5on sur
rendered ut Vicksburg, and when Lee sur
rendered i'll Virginia. And The sits and
smokes while Sumner, and Blair, and
Schurz and the rest of the pack abuse him.
That is perhaps what aggravates them
They can make no impression upon his
cold and silent nature. 1t is a great strug-
gle for political power that these Senators
are engaged in. and he knows it and
watches. and waits. and deals blow when

The Legislature of Maryland will meet
on Wednesday next, and Gov. Whyte will
be inaugurated on the following Wednes-
day, the 10th of January, to continue in
Office for four years. If the Assembly,
which is so soon to commence its sessions
at Annapolis, proves to be as expensive a
Democratic luxury as it's predecessors COM
posed of that party, the taxpayers may
we'll heave a sigh at its meeting, and will
doubtless draw a long breath of relief when
its session comes to an end,

Political Prosecutions.

THE KU-KLUX OF SOUTH CAROLINA-THr
TRIALs-TEsTIMONY OF "THE REVOLT.
ING DIABoL!sM OF THE KHAN
The columns of the Union have often
been occupied with statements Of ku- Klux
outrages. We heard horrible stories: we
have seen the victims, aud we thought nu
new horror could be added to those already
told, but we now confess that we were not
prepared for the revolving diabolism of
the Khan as given by the witnesses in the
Circuit Court yesterday. The Court was
trying the case of DR.. Thomas Il. White
sides and Captain John w. Mitchell, charg-
ed with the general Kn-klux conspiracy.
These men are not like the defendants in
the preceding case, ignorant dupes, but men
of superior intelligence and position
Both are men of average or even superior
social standing in York county.
The evidence, as it came from the lips of
the witnesses, put court, jury and audi
ence to the blush. We doubt if in any court
the same has been paralelled. First came.
III all its horrid details, the murder of
Charles Good for the crime of being Rad
ical and a member of the League.
The tiends caught him in the highway,
tied him to tree, half killed him by shoot
ing, and then smashed his head with a
rock. Two nights later the whole Khan
was ordered out to remove and conceal the
body by sinking it in Broad River, thus
seeking to connect every member with the
murder, SO as to hush his mouth.
The details are sickening beyond de-
scription.
Next came the story of the murder of
Tom Roundtree, shot down while escaping
from his house, and then his throat cut
from ear to ear with 4 bowie knife.
Next came the story of the wife of Sam
Simrill, a poor colored woman whose hus-
band was Il Radical. and absent at the
time of the ku-Klux raid. The Khan took
his wife into the highway, and then after
tormenting her in every conceivable man
ner, too revolving for repetition. they de.
Eberately ravished her, three of the tiends
gratifying their lIsts in succession, leaving
their poor victim senscless on the ground,
after filling her mouth and eyes with sand.
Finally came the still more disgusting
recital OF the details of the raid ON Jane
Boheler, a white woman of York county
We cannot repeat these details. or even
give our readers an idea of the horrible Al
thiness and brutality of the scene.
All this in one trial OF these conspira-
tors And who can forget that when all
this took place the Democratic press of the
State deliberately asserted that no such
organization existed anywhere in the State
No wonder the distinguished counsel left
the court room.
Yet these are the men whom the Phpnir
defends and lauds!
1t is chapter which finds no parallel in
the history Of any civilized people.

His old army friends tell many good
stories illustrating the pluck of Gen. Camp
bell. the present governor of Wyoming
territory. He has recently shown of what
stuff he is made by vetoing the bill repeal
ing the women suffrage act, which passed
one branch of his little legislative assembly
by five yeas to four nays, and the other by
nine yeas to three nays. The original bill
was passed by the democrats, and the
repeal bill was carried last month by their
solid vote. Cause - the women generally
votet! the republican ticket. The governor
began by opposing the act, and ends by
sustaining it. The virtues of the woman
have converted him to their si6e. Let
him come East and receive canenization at
the next general convention of the suf-
fragist!

TIE NEW APPoRTIoNMENT.-T House
of Representatives has passed the new
apportionmcnt bill, and if it shall become
a law, as doubtless it will, Maryland will
be entitled to an additional representative
in Congress, thus increasing her number
to six. This will devolve upon the Legis-
lature the duty of re-distrcting the State,
which will probably place Cecil, Kent and
Hartford counties in the Second Congress-
sional district.
The bill provides that after March 3d.
1878, the House of Representatives shall
be composed of 2S3 members, instead of
243, as at present, and that after such
apportionment shall have been made, any
new State shall he entitled toarepresentatiye
or representatives additional to the num-
Der 2S:. The basis is one representative in
10000 of population, and no State is here
after to be admitted to the Unicn without
the necessary population to entitle her to
at least one representative on this basis
This will exclude for the present Utah,
Colorado and New Mexico, which it has
been proposed lately to erect into States.
