Gov. Hoffman took the visit of the Com
mittee of Ten with great equanimity. He had
all of Gov. He ffman's frigidity and self-con-
troll, and parted the thrusts of his sharp Wis
itors with considerable address; but it was
evident that the Governor was not to
be moved to any extra-oficial steps by
the logic or persuasion of the Committee. The
address of ex-Judge PierrepOnt is conclusive
and well-directed argument, as well as an ap-
peal for Executive interposition; but the col
loquy which followed the presentation Of
the address is more suggestive of the
strength of the logical position taken by the
Committee as we'll as Of the reluctance Of the
Governor to move at all in the matter. The
result of the whole Business is that Gov. Hoff-
man will cross no stream until he
sees it yawning before him, and that
Charles O'ConOr is deputed to repre-
sent tho State Attorney General in any
actions brought or to be brought against the
Tammany Ring. This much is a clear gain to
the reformers of the City Government, and we
hope that even this may produce some results,
the contemplation of which may overcome
tho Governors inertia.

"The Invisible Empire in South Carolina
will now have an opportunity to measure its
strength with the United States Government.
Warning was given to the Ku-Klux in Spartans-
burg and eight other counties of the State, on
the 18th October, that unless they dispersed and
gave up their arms within five days, martial
law would be proclaimed. They did not dis
perso nor disarm. and martial law has come
as threatened. This action is notable as being
the first case of suspension of the privileges OF
the writ of habeas corpus under the Enforce
ment act, passed at the last session of Con-
gress 1t is notorious that the Ku-Klux " dcns"
in South Carolina are well supplied with arms
stolen from the State militia, and are other
wise well equipped. Within few weeks there
have been no very fragrant cases of outrage
by these ruffians, but it is well-knOwn that
their organizations are more compact than
ever, and that a sign of hesitation on the
part of the Government would be sig
nal for general outbreak. The au-
thorities in Washington say that the prOclama-
ton of marital law will not only stop prevail
ing violence, but prevent general massacre
in the nine counties specified.

It will not do to be in hurry to conclude
that the delay in the examination of Inger-
soil enforced yesterday by the ruling of Judge
Ingraham is q virtual defeat of the refOrmers
in the field they have chosen. If the whole
purpose of the proposed investigation were to
furnish sensation matter for political effect
this would be the case, for in all probability
Ingersolls testimony could not be had before
the November election. But the suit was
begun to recover the stolen moneys of
the city and ought to be prosecuted to
that end, Delay does not defeat that purpose,
nor can it long prevent success. In the mean
time ON important outwork has been won.
The Standing of the Plaintif-the right of
any one tax payer to institute proceedings to
recover lost or stolen funds of the City, even
on the refusal of the Corporation Counsel to
bring Suits conceded by this ruling. This Is
a great point gained, and the fight has not,
therefore, been in vain. We still hope for
good and great results from this suit.

Senatorsf They cannot hope to have more
than seventeen in all; are they likely to expel
Tweed, and thus deprive themselves of power
to pass bill or confirm a nomination Just
consider that point.
But Tweed will not be alone. There must
be Democrats elected from our other City dis,
tricts to make up those seventeen Senators; ana
at least two of these will be Tammany men,
with ten or twelve Assemblymen to match
Does the blndest fanatic in the anti-hlng
camp imagine that Democratic majority IN
either House can be counted without including
thesea
Tweed will of course claim that his reelection
is an indorsement-that he has appealed from
newspaper assalants to the people OF the very
district wherein the new Courthouse Is To-
Gated. and they have responded, "WeD DONE
" good and faithful servantw He will chal-
lenge his Democratic assaiants to show any
such majority as he has received or forever
hold their peace.
That there are honest and worthy Demo
Gratis, We heartily admit. That some OF them
will vote the State ticket of their party,
blindly trusting that the robbers of our City
will somehow be brought to justice, we sadly
apprehend. But every vote cast for that
ticket will tell in favor of salying over the
ulcer that is eating out the heart of'our City,
instead of cutting it out. A Democratic Leg
islature next Winter would be told that to put
their late leaders on trial for felony would
create a scandal which could not fail to beat
the party in the Presidential contest just at
hand. 1t would be urged to compromise, anu
smooth over, and cover up, for the dear Old
party's sake We cannot doubt that Demo
cratic triumph at our ensuing election would
operate as a coat of whitowash to Tweed q
Co., and that they are working and spending
to this end.

From all parts of the world we continue to
receive tidiugs of destruction of life and prop
erty by food, fire, and shipwreck. In China,
the storms and floods, of which we have pre-
viOusly had some accounts, aBe reported to
have swept away three thousand persons. The
Russian mining town of BOgosIOvsk, in the
Ural Mountains, has been burned by incendi-
aries; and, in addition to the great disasters
in our own country already chronicled, we
are beginning to receive accounts of numer-
GUS wrecks which occurred during the late
gale along the Lake and Atlantic coast. At
Halifax, ports on the st. Lawrence, and on
both sides of the great Lakes, the devastation
has been unusually heavy. These, and the
other great calamities that have overtaken us,
are proofs of the helplessness of man, with

SHIPS IND SHIP-BUILDING.

From time immemorial until the last few
years. sea going vessels were constructed manly
of Wood now their chief material Is lrOn
The revolution is great one, and 1t operates
to our cOuntry's disadvantage. We had
Timber in great abundance at low cost
and could build vessels cheaply in spite
of our dear Labor; but Western Europe
has more and cheaper Iron than we have, along
with her cheaper Labor, and thus tips tho
scale heavily against us. We cannot construct
and equip Ocean Steamers so cheaply as En-
gland or Germany can: we could not if our
Iron were as cheap as theirs, because our
Labor is far dearer. A Scotch mechanic whom
we met recently, after hearing q statement
that Skilled Labor was twice as dear in this
country as in Great Britain, said, "You are
"far below the mark l worked several years
Gin Glasgow for less than So per week: | am
"paid here SIS per week for just such work,
"and have cheaper food here than in Scotland
That we cannot build Iron ships as cheaply
as the British can, is clear: but who does not
know better than to charge this to our Tariff
The Ship-building of London and Quebec is
stricken down by the revolution more COM
pletely than that of Maine and New-York. II
our country shall ever build iron vessels to
compete with those of Great Britain and Ger
many, they certainly will not be built in Maine;
and they who would persuade her artisans to
vote the Democratic ticket in order to restore
activity to the ship-yards of bath and Thorn
aston, must know that they are deludng them.
There are just two ways in which we can
restore activity to Ship-building tn our
own ports: 1. BY stringent Protection, after
the pattern of Oliver Cromwells Navigation
act or g. BY reducing by One-half the aver
age wages of American Labor. The World
leans to the latter alternative. When it shall
have converted the great body Of our mechan-
les to that view, it will be good enough to let
ia know

At the recent meeting of the State Temperance
Alliance held in Boston, the eternal newspaper
question came up; and if journalism is mt hereafter
approximately perfect, it will not be for want Of
censure in plenty and the most solemn advice. 1t Is
astonishing to think how perfect newspapers would
be II only those were detailed to manage them who
know nothing whatever Of the business. DR.. Thayer
tho Rev. DR.. Thayer, that accomplished that
"the newspaper press of Boston was 30 hostile to
temperance that 1t was almost impossible to get
anything favorable to the cause through its
columns.n Now we know that this is not true,
and a. Q proof Of Dr.. Thsyer's mistake we cite
the publication of this very speech Of DR.. Thayer,
very fair report OF which appears In The Boston
Journal, together with sufficient particulars Of the
dongs of the meet ng to which the speech was made
Ii not that getting something favorable to the cause
into the newspapersi But DR.. Thayer, having stated
the evil, of course ha remedy to offer He assert
ed that temperance men should only support tenn
perance papers, and should be as consistent in
this respect - members Of political parties
would be in supporting the papers
which advocated their politics" This is oil
nonsense; and, II DR.. Thayer knew anything of the
subject which he undertook to discuss, he would
know that newspapers which are worth brass
farthing support themselves, and owe thanks
whatever TO political parties. The moment they
begin to hang ON TO the srts Of any party for sup
port they simultaneously begin to be good for
nothing, and merely pensioners, without any indie
pendent opinions Of their own. Moreover IL sup
porting means buying and reading our advice to
Republicans Is to buy and read the Democratic
newspapers. If that does not confirm them IN tlEr
political faith the sooner they go over 10 the 9thcr

Dispatches from Corinth, Miss, speak of the
capture of five of the Ku-Klux Khan in that
vicinity very much in the strain that would
lie used in referring to the ensnaring of SO
many gorillas in Central Africa. What adds
TO the special interest of these particular cap
lures is the fact that the masquerading cos
tunes and other awe-inspiring paraphernaha
were taken with the men; and yet, with these
revelations of the interior management of the
"dens" which are constantly making, there
are people determined not to believe that the
so-called Ku-Klux ale anything but honest,
niOus. and deserving citizens.
