EE Secretary Delano rightly infers
that man who defrauds his laundress
or boarding house keeper is not to be
trusted with the lingering of Govern
ment vouchers; and, accordingly, or
dcrs have been issued that clerks in the
Internal Revenue Bureau must pay their
board and washing on demand or quit the
public service,-Republicdn
We endorse all that is said about COM
pellins clerks to pay their just debts, es-
pecially to poor clearinghouse keepers
and laundresses. But we should like TO
know what Delano has to do with the
Internal Revenue Bureau? If he runs
the Interior Department honestly and
faithfully, the country will excuse him
from any interference with the Internal
Revenue affairs Patriot.

The Pops on the Situation.

A Paris paper has an account of the
interview granted by the Pope TO large
body of persons. One of the number
asking him how long the oppression Of
the Church would continue, the Pope
replied: 1--WE should resign ourselves
to the will of the Most High, and pray,
without ceasing for the whole world, for
every where evil is making fearful prog
ress. In France impiety is now again
lifting its head. In Germany heresy is
making great efforts to Cypress the
Christian religion, and to establish its
own greatness upon its (the Church's)
ruins. But what is still more lameuta
BILE is that this impious movement is
countenanced by governments, In Rus
sia, Spain, Switzerland, indeed every
where, revelation seeks triumph antly to
drag down society,"

Extract from letter from gentle
man in Union county, South Carolina,
to q correspondent in another county:
NOVEMBER 7, 1871.
We are in dreadful condition. Over
twenty-five of our citizens have been
arrested under warrants issued on tie
ailidavits Of an infamous negro scamp
who has been staying about Columbia
the present year. Some OF the men {.
rested were not in the county when the
offence charged was committed,a although
the scamp swears that che saw them"
commit the act
Knowing the character of the gentle
men arrested, and the infamous char
acter of tie scamp at whose instance
the arrests were made, the greatest inse-
curity is felt by all our citizens, howev
er innocent Of violations Of law. No
man feels safe; no man knows how soon
he may be arrested, torn from his
family, and confined in Jail on a charge
Of which lie is innocent.
Twenty-one men are now confined in
our courthouse; they have no idea Of
the cause of their arrest; only know
that they have been arrested under the
reinforcement act" l have seen two or
three warrants, none of which are for
violations of the Ku-Klux act.
The fear Of being tried by packed ju-
ries, and sworn sgainst by hired wit
nesses, have spread terror through our
county; have driven many men from
theil homes, kindred and friends pre-
ferring expstristion TO the consequences
OF MOCK trials. and 10 the Imprisonment
pending protracted trials.
Hoping your county may escape the
fate Of ours, am, yours respectfully.

comrades were presented to him as an

and burning brands right and left and
rear, his heartess tormentors put the rcd
hot brands to his bare skin to eXtort q
confession of the deed by the exquisite
punishment they were inficting. Par
ties, who arrived soon enough to see the
last victim swing, state that Taylor was
surrounded; that they heard q CONVEX
sation going on between the men and
Taylor, but could not hear with suffi-
cient distinctness to understand any
thing that was said.
