of eminent men in favor Of the Bible. He
wished to sit for an hour or 10 as he said he
was waiting for the cars. The minister be-
ing very busy in his study, gave him PAP ers
and left him in the parlor. The man stayed
few moments and then left abruptly, and
took with him an overcoat worth SIS. He
claimed to be a minister, was about fifty
years of age, without beard and well dressed,
but evidently an unmitigated rascal The
public is warned to look out for him.

Washington, Is. Secretary Boutwell, is
expected in Washington in few days, his
return being fastened by tine Hodge defalca-
ton, of which he has been officially informed
by Secretary Belknap, and it is his desire to
investigate the implication of the treasurer's
office in this connection. The treasury off,
Gals say that there is no way by which the
treasurer's Office can have known of the de-
falcations of the paymsster, the only duty of
the treasurer being to honor all checks, or pay
such paymaster in his Office. Secretary Bel

prefer proper charges against Hodge, whose
application of release from close confinement
has been denied. Paymaster Gen. Brice

We have seen nothing in the Ku. u.Klux
difficulties as yet 10 warrant the interven-
ton of the strong arm of the Government.
The up-country papers say very little
about the arrests, if any are made, and
nothing but what the State administration
might effect if there was the nerve to lott.
Quite number of men have been arrested
and brought to Columbia, charged with
various offences-some Of which are Ku-
kluxism and the other are riotous individ-
uals which exists in every community. In
Chester County where Ku-Klux lawless-
ness is reported as holding high carnival,
the Grand Jury reports but a few actual
cases, and denies entirely the charges
made in the proclamation Of the Presi-
dent. T he eliminating point of official
imbecility seems to have been reached
when the Executive appealed to the gene
raj government for aid to suppress pue-
rile insurrectlon which he confesses is not
in his power to subdue. We do not be-
leve that any real causes exist for so strin-
gent measure. The suspension of the
habeas corpus in time Of profound peace
is dangerous expedient, and should not
be resorted to only in the EXTREMIST ne
cessty-a climax not yet reached.
1t is not strange that reign of terror
has been inaugurated in these counties,
the most peaceable are compelled to leave
their farms and flee for safety elsewhere
none are safe from immediate arrest at the
instigatiou of any who choose to make
complaint, and often without cause, only
to crafty a personal malice. 1t is to be
regretted that these internal affairs have
assumed such dangerous attitude
in our outlook we see no prospect for
change under the present political admin
istration-strike the axe at the root OF
that evil, and you deal a blow to Ku--
Kluxism from which it cannot nor would
not rally.

not only our commercial life, but our en-

And death and destruction in their va

It may be proper here to state that every
few arrests have been made after night, the
larger number having been made in the day
time, and, so far as we have been able to
learn, no show of resistance to authority
has been made. As may well be supposed,
the Jail is very much crowded, in conse-
quence of which the prison accommodations
are being increased b. fitting the second sto-
ry of the building for that purpose. There
no disposition on the part of the officials
in charge to treat the prisoners with undue
iharshness, and we have been requested by
some of the prisoners to say that their treat
meat has been as kind and as mild as they
could expect.

We find in the Chester Reporter the pre-
sentiment of the grand jury at the county
which dispvovc; entirely the charges con-
tanned in the Presidential proclamation.
The grand jury (six whites and six blacks)
says:
In consequence of our having seen npub-
lie press proclamation of the President Of
the United States stating, in substance,
among other things that public justice could
not lie administered by either the State or
Federal judiciary or the officers thereof; and
the right OF citizens could not be protected
by the ordinary means heretofore prov idcd
for such purposes, and not being cognizant
of Single case il which an executive officer
ofthe State or Federal government has been
resisted by either an individual or combina-
tions of individuals in this county, we
thought proper to inquire Of the command
ant of this post for any facts that we might
have asccrtaincd which would tend to verify
the alterations contained i'll th9 said procla-

About the same hour that the arrests
commenced in town the military began to
move, yquadrons and cavalry marching out
in various directions, for the purpose OF az
resting those in the county against whom ac-
clsations have been made, for violations OF
the ~Ku-Klux' and enforcement acts Of
Congress. On Friday, Saturday,-and Sun
day squadrons of soldiers were returning at
all hours having in their custody citizens Of
the country, embracing lHen IN all stations,
and occasionally amongst the number would
be found negro, Of which class five are
