The Ku KIuX Bill.

The ku AIuX or Southern
Force Bill passed the House of
Representatives, on 9th inst,
by q strict party vote. The
bill as passed, gives despotic
power to the President, and
substitutes his irresponsible
will for the safeguards of the
Constitution. 1t authorizes him
to suspend the habeas corpus
and proclaim martial. law in
any part of the United States,
making him the sole judge of
the necessity for substituting
his arbitrary will for the regu-
lar operation of the laws
Whenever martial law is pro.
claimed, the will Of the Presi-
dent is supreme. By the sus-
pension Of the habeas corpus
he can arrest any citizen he
pleaseS, for any cause, or no
cause, denying the citizen a
hearing and all means of vindi.
eating his innocence, and keep
ing him immured in a dungeon
or government fort as long as
the President pleases, without
legal process, without judge or
jury, the only test of crime be.
ing the suspicion or displeasure
of a narrow.minded and vim.
dictive man like General Grant.
And this in a land whose chief
boast is liberty, and the equity
and blessings of republican gov
ernment ! The bill also pro-
vides that the so-called Ku
Klux crimes shall be punisha-
BILE in United States Courts and
the President to EN-.
ploy the land and naval forces
of the United States in the en-
forcement Of this law.
This bill, so full of malignity,
hate, and vengeance against all
the men of the South who do
not bow down in abject sub
and worship at the
Radical shrine, is put forth as
f in a benign, loving, God
caring spirit to protect loyal
men, especially loyal blacks,
Who, according to false assump-
ions, are being murdered,
and driven from their
louses because Of their devo-
ion to Republican principles.
Of all its disguises and
'alse pretenseS, it is simply a
oill to overthrow what remains
If republican liberty and law

States, and to substitute in its
stead a centralized, consolida-
ed, military despotism, with
he President as dictator, law
maker and Judge. BY this bill
the President is not response
Die for anything he may order.
He has the discretion. He can
not be impeached for any
wrongful act. The authority
is put in his hands to do what
he pleases. His pleasure is
made the supreme law Of the
land. He is, in short, made an
absolute despot. The Gar Of
Russia is not more absolute

composed of the counties Of
Lucas, Huron, SanduSky, Erie
and Ottawa, on Sd inst, Seney,
Democrat, of Toledo, was elec'

defeating Kraus, the old Radi-
cal incumbent. Frank Hurd,
the gallant and eloquent Dem.
ocrat, is elected City Solicitor.

1t must be highly pleasing
to a large number of Radicals
in the city Of New York to be
told by the Tribune and Times
and kindred sheets, that they
are a precious pack of thieves
and venal scoundrels, because
they hold Office under Demo
cratic appointment. Because
the Democracy see fit to di-
vide the official patronage, and
give a portion of it to the more
decent Republicans, those
sheets at once denounce them
as tools of the Ring. Where
the Radicals rule there is no
division of Offices between the
parties, all of them being swal-
lowed up by the Unsuitable
Radical pot.luckers.
