THE KU-KLUX TR1ALs.-It appears to
be the sole object of Mr.. Reverdy johnson,
and Mr.. Stansbury, who are the defending
counsel for the Ku-Klux, now on trial at
Columbia, South Carolina, to prevent the
prisoners from being brought to trial on
the facts, as the evidence in open court of
whippings, maiminss, and murders which
have been inflicted on white and black
Republicans, if brought before the public
in this manner would prove most revolving,
and could not fail to shock the moral sense
of the civilized world. The Northern
Democrat apologists of this midnight order
of assassin's could not longer deny their
true character. To hang up the cases in
the Supreme Court for year or two seems
to be their sole aim of the learned counsel.

BILLS

After this week, our subscribers and
advertising patrons, who are in arrears,
will have their accounts mailed to them,
and with the hope that they will imme-
diately return favorable response. BY
cheek is the safest and cheapest way to
remit money. If the amount of the bill is
deposited in any bank-Cecil, Elkton,
Rising Sun, Oxford, or any of the Delaware
banks, and check enclosed for the amount,
there is no danger Of losing money by tho
mail. A money order is equally safe, but
costs more. Or from any part of the county
the risk is exceedingly small by enclosing
the amount in letter. Remit, however,
in any way you please, when you receive
the bill. Pay up! and then you can hold
up your head in company when you don t
owe the printer.
