RADICAL RULE 1N THE SOUTH.


In the editorial columns Of the New
York Tribune Of Saturday, October IA,
We find the following remarks on letter
from Arkansas
We print herewith letter from Little
Rock, exposing the yillainies which have
distracted the Republican party in that
State Though long, it will be found
deeply interesting as well as instructive.
1t viii serve to explain the weakness Of
the Republican party, not only in Ar
kansas, but in severa, other Southern
States, wherein selfish, unprincipled Ia
pacious scoundrels have been enabled
10 clutch the reins of authority and ride
recklessly over public interests and pri-
vate rights to the achievement Of their
sordid and shameful ends.
The Baltimore Gazette asks: Could
there possibly be a more apt and signi6-
cant commentary on the Ku-Klux proc
lamation just issued by General Grant
than is to be found in this pithy extract
from the most influential Of all the
Northern Radical Journalist 1t is
plain, downright confession Of the vii
lainy praeticed by the selfish, unprin-
cipled, rapaeious seoundrels Ito use
the strong language of the Tribune-who
rule over the Southern States, and ride
recklessly over public interest and pri-
vate right TO the achievement of their
sordid and selfish ends

anvERNMENT ouTRAGEs.

Here are some of the fruits Of the Ku-
Klux law:
The wholesale arrest of the best citi-
zens of Rutherford county, North Caro-
lima, by the United States Government
officials, has had a most disastrous effect
upon that county. A correspondent of a
North Carolina paper, from Rutherford
county, says: Everybody wants to sell
out and move away-no newcomers are
seen or heard of-business is dull, with
no sign Of improvement Many citizens
will leave the county this fall, and many
more, so soon as they can get away.
These arrests have almost ruined, and
is about to depopulate, one Of the very
finest counties in the State.
If it is intended to depopulate the
South, the Government has hit upon the
right plan. The time may come when
the people of the South win lay their
grievances before the civilized world.
The South cannot prosper il one man
can deprive the citizen Of his liberty
and his property. The production of
cotton must be retarded and commerce
obstructed so seriously as to produce a
crash in the financial world. If the out
RACES the Government has perpetrated
in North Carolina be visited upon the
other Southern States, no living eye can
forecast the result, any further than that
the South, in the grasp of hostile power,
will either languish and wither, or ap-
peal for justice to the just judgment of
the world

ITALY,.

RoME, October 2O.-A reunion of the
Cardinals of the Church for the arrange
ment of a solemn conclaye has been
completed. The question placed be-
fore their eminences for debate, was the
important one of what action should be
taken by the Church relative to the
claim Of the King of Italy to sn-
premacy of rule in the city and domain
Of the Holy See The Cardinals have
advised His Holiness to quit Rome, in
order to preserve his spiritual indepen-
dence. The Pope received the decision
of the Cardinalate with favor, and he
has partially determined to take his de-
parture from Rome at the moment of the
convoeation of the Italian Parliament.

TIE DIFFERENCE

A writer in the World says very cor
reetly, that when Democratic statesmen
prepared the laws and administered the
government there was but one standard
of vsluation-but one currency for gov
eminent and people alike. All this I'M
derRadieal domination has been changed.
The masses are forced to receive an ir-
redeemable and deprecated currency in
exchange for their labor, while the Gov
eminent exacis a tax in gold upon all
they eat, drink, wear, Or use, provided it
comes from abroad. Hence at the pres.
ent time the country is cursed with two
standards Of valuation. growing out of
the difference Of the currency used by
the government and that used BY the
people. The mischievous effects Of this
unjust and tyrannieal system are most
keenly felt by our farming population.

Artificial Rnin.

In England, where experimental agri-
culture is carried to an extreme almost
unknown with us, the invention of methods
of irrigation has been very ingenious.
At Stoke Park tract of twenty acres is
irrigated by artificial rain, the system
being quite successful The water was
applied every night last summer in
showers, excepting when natural rain
made it unnecessary. The apparatus
consists of pipes laid in the ground,
supplied from the elevated reservoir,
into which water is pumped by machine
nv. The financial exhibit made by the
results Of the experiment is said to be a
good one. The int est on the money
invested in the necessary machinery,
and the cost of operating it, aggregated
$95 per acre for the entire tract of twenty
acres. Likewise the income per acre
aggregated $500, being made up of the
proceeds of one crop of grass and graz
ing in the autumn of 1870 and two
crops Of hay in 1871. The net profit
was thus $lO5 per acre. On land Of the
same tract and same character, used for
the same purpose, but where the irriga-
ton was omitted the net profit per acre
was but $45.

wholly upon SEIZURE, in consequences OF
Kinkels absence as a member OF the
Prussian Legislature. An unsuccessful
attempt to produce an insurrection at
Bonn, 10 1919, obliged both Kinkel and
Schurz to fee to the Palatinate, where
Schurz Joined body Of revolutionary
troops and participated in the defense OF
Rastadt. On the surrender of that fort
ress he concealed himself three days and
nights without food, and finally, escaping
through sewer, made his way across
the Rhine, arriving in Switzerland in
August, lS49, where he remained in Sc
clusion till the following May Kinkle
was captured, condemned to twenty
years Imprisonment, and shut up in the
Fortress Of Spandau. After a long cor
respondence with the wife Of his impris-
oned CON patriot, Schurz undertook his
rescue, made his way secretly back to
Germany in May, 1850, and, after three
months Of preparation, succeeded. On
the night OF November 6, 1850, hinkel S
cell was broken open, and he was brought
TO the roof Of the prison and safely low
cred to the ground. The fdgitives es-
cdpeu Tue same HiBuI hciooo thc AAoAeN. .
and arrived at Leith about December l.
Schurz lived at Paris and London as o
newspaper correspondent till 1852, when
he married in the latter city and emil
grated to America. After spending
three years in legal, historical and politi-
cal studies in Philadelphia, he settled IN
Madison, Wisconsin. His subsequent
career in this country is too well known
to need mention here.
Bold and selfpoised both in thought
and action, the leader of the large Ger
man element of our population, man
who makes fino impression every
where by the frank sincerity Of his ut
terances and the generosity OF his senti-
ments, and withal an orator whose easy
command Of idiomatic English is simply
wonderful, he is a power in American
politics, and we believe his influence
will be exerted in favor Of a magnani-
mons natriOtism.

MRs. JAS, A. OATES IN CHICAGO. The
last engagement played by any star in
Chicago before the great fire destroyed
all the places Of amusement there, was
played by Mrs J. A. Oates, assisted by
her famous comic opera company. 1t
was one of the most successful seasons
in the amusement annals of that city
hundreds having been turned from the
doors nightly who were unable to gain
even standing room. The Chicago Re

'Mrs. Jas. A. Oates, ''the bewitching

gagement at Hooly's Opera House last

The house was crammed from pit to
dome, chairs being at a premium. The
piece was the Fair one with the Auburn
Locks" now Musical Extravaganza.
Mrs. Oates acted as only Mrs Oates can
act, and won every heart on her first en-
tree. The support was very good and
even, the piece went off merrily, and ey-
erybody went away satisfied. From the
rush for seats it seems likely that those
who want to see the piece tonight will

OUR 1L1usrRIous pREs1nrNr.

A Washington letter to the Louisville
Ledger thus discusses the qualifications
of our President:
The Government is still in vacation.
Our so-called President is once more off
on his travels. He is not content with
his long summer absence at Long
Branch, or his recent trip to the West.
If General Grant were an invalid there
would be some excuse for this neglect Of
public duties, but he makes no such plea.
1t is very obvious that the secret Of
General Grants repeated absences are
to be fonnd in his inyincible aversion to
the work Of the executive Office. If the
Generals duties were merely military
topics like those Of the General of the
army, OF even the Secretary Of War, it
is probable they would not be so distaste-
full TO him. But as President he has
much moro to do than the shifting about
of officers, regiments and companies, the
regulation of some promotion, or new
assignment. He has to deal with very
important and difficult problems relat-
ing to foreign policy, the finances,
the public lands, the postal system,
and the general conduct of the Govern
ment, and for these knotty questions,
which come up from the secretaries, and
are discussed in Cabinet, General Grant
has no taste or aptitude whatever. Moth
ing of his former life, whether civil or
military, has qualified him to grasp and
comprehend such questions. If he at
tempts to learn any one Of them, he is
like dull boy studying Greek or math-
ematics. 1t goes hard with him, and he
soon signs for holiday. Your CORE
spondent once had the duty devolved
upon him of presenting to General
Grant certain questions connected with
the Virginia Constitution. he was
aware that the Presidents attention had
been repeatedly called to this subject,
and it was one he had especially consid-
cred. He therefore expected to find the
President fully conversant with the in
strument in question. 1t had been be-
fore him at least four months. To his
great surprise, President Grant knew
hardly anything Of the document he had
been talking about, did not understand
its chief features save one or two only,
and was excessively dull of comprehen-
sion as to all others. SOW

city is now upturned, and thousands Of
negroes have been imported from Vir-
ginia and Maryland to swell the ring
vote at the approaching election. Prop
erty holders look in blank dismay at the
prospect ahead, and have largely come
to the conclusion that the only relief
from an unbearable rate of taxation
will be in the repeal Of the act granting
a territorial form Of government to this
district.
