The radicals are trying hard to keep out
of Congress the four Democrats just elect
ed in Texas. Gov. Davis refuses election
certificates to three Of them; but so bald
is the proceeding that Degener, the radi-
cal candidate in the Fourth District, re-
fuses to take the certificate, on the ground
that his Democratic opponent is legally
elected
Our readers will remember that letter
from Florida last winter gave an account
of the murder of young woman and two
children at Jacksonville, and that Scott, a
northern man belonging to vessel in
port, had been arrested. The following
despatch tells the rest of the story
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Oct. 81. William Scott
was executed to-day for the murder of Rosa
mOnd Carlin and two small children on Febru-
airy 9th. He was cool and spoke not word.
The knot slipped and his neck was not broken
but he strangled to death.

The Reign of Terror.
Correspondence of the N. Y. World.

SPARTlNBURG, S. c., October 30
The Presidents proclamation of martial
law has caused a reign of terror in this
section of the country. Not in the darkest
days of the rebellion, when the cradle and
the grave were robbed to fill the ranks OF
the army; when the country was loud
with the wall of the widow and orphan,
was such distress and suffering known,
No military edict has ever caused such
heart-rending suffering as the proclama-
ton from the Executive OF free Repaid
lie. Neighborhoods are depopulated,
farms are deserted, families scattered to
the tour winds of heaven, so great is the
terror. This might seem to apply guilt in
every one, but not so; cur population is a
moral one, especially near the mountains.
They don't understand what is meant by
martial law. They have an exaggerated
motion of it, hence they flee the country,
not from a consciousness of guilt, but
from apprehension of some imaginary
danger. To the stranger this might seem
without a cause A Presidents proclama-
ton in itself is very harmless thing but
this is not all. Yesterday our town was a
quiet country village; to-day it is Il mill
tary camp; four companies of cavalry
and one of infantry compose the army.
AS yet they have done little field work,
for instead of hunting up KuKlux, the
the Ku-Klux are hunting up the army.
Near one hundred have given up, and are
quartered in large building provided for
the purpose. They (the Ku-klux) are
mostly young men, without education and
limited means As far as quality is con-
cerned, this grand capitulation is eva
ter haur' for the Republicans. Not one
of ''the chivalry' has been caught yet :
those who have surrendered are from the
mountains near the South Carolina line,
by trade and profession distillers Of mean
whiskey, and splitters of shingles, whose
opposition to the United States govern
ment was not on account of politics, but
because of the whiskey tax. To make
the chagrin Of the Radicals complete, not
few of their own rank have been arrest
ed as Ku-Klux. The first man arrested
here for Ku-Klux, Benjamin Cash, was
the first man after the war who carried
the United States flag at the head of a
Radical procession. Benjamin T. Bates,
who is to be tried next court for killing
Hampton an alleged Ku-Klux, is now in
Jail fo1being Ku-Klux B. 7. Bates son
has fled the country. What say our Radi-
cal friends to this9 Are Democrats alone
responsible for this state of things? All
these facts 60 to prove what every one
has always thought, viz: That these out
RACES were never committed in hostility
to the United States government. They
were to correct local abuses growing out
of bad State government. for which alone
the Radicals are responsible. And further
IN proof of it, these outrages were never
done where the State law was impartially
administered by competent officials One
portion of the State has been cursed with
incompetent, corrupt officers. and rather
than see criminals go unpublished, the
people, in a measure, took the law in
their own hands.

THE OUTLOOK.


We ehaye been very modest about claim>
ing any particular advantages for Port
Townsend as the terminus Of the North
ern Railroad, and have been inclined to
keep shady, thas our jealous cOtempOra-
ries farther up the Sound coul initiate
and duly, land of cOurse,) collapse on the
subiec. of the advantages of their par
ticular localities.
Olympia swelled largely on the idea of
becoming the first terminus, in this che,
too, was modest commenced leaking on
the subject of a branch, and collapsed in
''mseting," all the gas and money (the
latter includes land having been expended.
Steilacoop has been quiet; but still
waters run deep" We suppose she has
been putting in big licks-well, let her.
Seattle, erst the fair proporiioned Queen
City Of the West, has become like an in
cessant clucking hen. She has but one
egg under her-the Snoqualmie Pass.
Whether the internal warmth of the old
hen will succeed in formulating that egg
buried under seventeen feet of snow is still
an open question.
Whatcom is striving hard for the prize
She and her friends talk loudly, and offer
big premiums but II will require three or
four Won Smiths to lift the rocks from her
channel, andihat "other man" to moderate
the currents of the same, TO make her en-
deavors at all available.
Port Townsend, our own little place,
lying quiet and peacefully, like bump on
log, has been waiting for the bark to
peel to see which way the grain runs.
Port Townsend has said nothing but
other people have talked for her. In
letter from friend at Portland, received
the other day, is the following mention;
"In the opinion of several men of intelli-
gence and standing, with whom have
talked at this place, Port Townsend will
be the terminus on Puget Sound of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, if the land
owners there will consult their interests
and do the handsome thing" We reply
that our people are ready and willing to
do that same. when they are asked TO.
On Tuesday w. NJ. Roberts, Esq,
Chief Engineer of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, arrived here from Victoria. After
tolerably fair examination Of the penin-
sula, (ths gentleman being already ac-
uuainted with the advantageous location
Of the Bay he expressed himself greatly
pleased, and gave his opinion that this
was the most available locality he had
yet visited. Further, we are told, upon
good authority, that he said that the
question of towing sailing vessels to any
port above this point would have to be
considered, in deciding for the site of a
commercial city-that this was the best
and most available port for sailing vessels.
We don't know that we need any better
assurance than this, coming as it does
from the mouth of the principal man of
the engineering corps of the railroad com
pany, as to where the terminus will be To-
Gated, ~

Ground for the Presidency.

From tho Washington Star.
The Portland (NTe.) Advertiser after re.
viewing the political situation at length
with view to settling the question who
shall be the Presidential candidate Of the
Republicans in 1872 concludes by decid.
ing on Senator Trumbull as the man. The
points set forth in Mr.. TrumbulTs behalf
are that he has taken the lead in civil ser
vices reform; that In dealing with the
Southern States Mr.. Tmmbull believes in
Mr.. Blaine's proposition, ordering o care
full investigation, but he las faith too in
the theory ofseli.government, and believes
the time has come 10 commit the affairs
Of those States to their own citizens by
an act Of general amnesty; that lie favors
a revision of the revenue laws and re-
turn to specie payments; that though con.
sentative and cautious in legislation he is
always "iully abreast Of the best thought
Of his party" that it Is probable that the
West will furnish the Presidential candi-
dates for both parties, and that as the
Democrats arc already talking quietly OF
nominating Judge Davis OF Illinois, o man
OF unblemfshed lite and very strong in his
native State, 1t may be necessary 10 meet
him with O candidate from the same pop
ulous and influential State.
The significant feature about this sug.
gcstion Of Western candidate by q
Maine paper is that the New York Eren.
ing Post copies the AdrertiSers article
with tacit approval, introducing it as ian
expression Of Republican opinion from an
important source, the leading and most
influential Republican journal in Maine"
As the Post, the Chicago Tribune, Ia paper
friendly to Mr.. Trumbull) and the Gin.
ciDnDh Commercial constitute the main
newspaper front OF the revenue reform
party" this announcement would seem to
be formal breaking of ground from that
quarter in behalf OF the nomination OF
Senator Trumbull for the Presidency.
Mr.. Trumbull Is IN able and pure man,
and has strong points rs u candidate; but
many man of strength and ability has
been killed Oft by being, trOtted out pre-
maturely.
