Thus far, the Presidents powers under the
Ku-Klux bill have scarcely been exercised for
the paci6cation of the disorders which have
existed in the South. But in South Carolina,
and notably in York and Spartanburg counties,
there have been such serious and willful dis
turbances that forbearance does not seem lon
ger possible. Fair warning has been given,
and unless the perpetrators of outrages there
are otherwise brought to justice, martial law
will be proclaimed and the Ku-Klux will be
arrested by military commanders, without civil
process. There seems to be no other way of
reaching the difficulty; and when military law
is once invoked, it should thoroughly eradi-
cate the source of disorder.

forcibly remodel the State Constitution, but
was met by Q popular verdict which eject
ually destroyed that revolutionary means Oh
regaining lost ascendency.
1t was not to be expected that the party
which opposed the war for the Union 'couio
long survive it's successful conclusion. HELD
together by the cohesive power OF expected
divisions of party spoils, it has outiived the
logical period for It's demise, but not for long.
Becoming O party of mere negations, it has
nothing but opposition and destruction 10
offer tho country. 1t proposes only to Abolish,
repeal, repudiate, and annul; it offers no SUD-
stitute for what it seeks to destroy. 1t ID the
anarchist which would destroy order, but re-
veals no future condition of betterment-only
confusion, chaos, nothingness.
Such party cannot, in the nature OF
things, long maintain even a spasmodic ex-
istence. In all truth and sOberness, we can
not see what possible mission the Democratic
party has to fulfill in the country. Party Or
eanization for the sake only OF securing and
dividing the public offices cannot long exist
And to this complexion the once proud Old
Democratic party has come at last. Inc great
thefts of Tammany in New York are an earnest
of what would be done wherever the Democ-
racy can secure power. 1t Is public plumber,
not principle, which binds together the domi-
nant party in New-York and, whether Gov.
Hoffnan's freebooters fleece the merchants IN
tho Bay, or the man who boasts OF owning
the Legislature of New-York binds the CITY
hand and foot, it is reckoned legitimate policy
by Democratic tacticians. 1t does not seem In
reason that a party 80 organized and conducted
should long exist But it needs all the hard
blows that Republicans can deliver upon 1t to
bring down to the dust Of defeat this prepos-
ferrous sham, which has no longer any excuse
for being. We do not see what is to keep thiS
misnamed band of conspirators much longer
alive. Only the lethargy Of its natural 10es
will permit its further success in the nation

1t is reported that at a meetingof the Cabinet
yesterday it was decided not to carly on the
Corean war any further, unless it should be
found hereafter possible to form an offensive
alliance for that purpose with Great Britain
and Germany. Of course, no other result
could be reached; it has been sufficiently
proved that we can do nothing with the
Coreans. 1t is not very likely that we shall
ever have an opportunity to unite with any
European Power in thrashing that people. So
the net results of the much-vaunted expedition
which was to "vindicate the national honor"
and open the country to trade, is as follows:
Twenty-one battle-fags, four hundred and
eighty-one small brass culverins, damaged
U. s. feet, and a highly irritated enemy in
the Corea. There has also been much blood
shed and loss of life, chiefly heather Coreans !;
and 80 we close accounts.

All this, it should be remembered, was Sc
cretly drawn from the treasury in addition to
the extravagant amounts expended for print
ing stationery, &C., under resolutions Of the
Board Of Supervisors. And this Ia the way it
was managed:
On the 10th of June, Mr.. Tweed who is one
Of the principal partners in the New-YOrk
Printing Company land in the Transcript
Association, which is only another name for
the same concern). offered the. following resO-
luton, which the Supervisors adopted unani-
mously and the Mayor signed two days after
ward:
"Resolred That the Controller be and he is hereby d.
rected to pay the bills Of the NewYork Printing Com
pany for all work done for supplies furnished the
County by them upon The certificate Of the Clerk Of he
Board and charge the same to Its appropriate account
Anybody not in the secret, noticing this
resolution, would have supposed it applied
only to bills then before the Board but we
now see that it must have been Interpreted as
a standing rule, covering all future accounts
Thus the plain provisions of the law, with
respect to auditing and paying bills against
the City and County, were daringly evaded.
and the Controller was instructed to expend
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars annually
with no other voucher than the signature Of
an irresponsible clerk. And if copies Of parts
of Mr. Connolly's books had not been obtained
from his Office secretly, so that he has been
forced to permit an examination of the re-
mainder, the public never would have known
how much money was drawn from the treasury
In this irregular, not to say illegal, way, and
there would have been no check whatever
upon the most enormous frauds.

bly, for the confidence shown: him. we may
therefore, consider two things a. set"eu ~
France: the Assembly is q constituent oouy;
and M. Theirs is actual PresidentLene'h Oh
official term undetermined. tits certainly fortu-
nate for the country that this has been accom-
nlished without disorder; it will be still more
fortunate if the assumption by the Assembly
of mower to form . government for France,
and the election of M. Theirs by that Assem-
blv, do not hereafter constitute an excuse for
revolution. The French people will generally
ocouiesce in the decision of the Assembly in
relation to M. Theirs; but the settlement of
the constitution yet to be made will prove q
erayer matter,
