One OF THE MAIN purposes OF Gen.
Grants administration has heen, Osten-
sibly, the suppression Of the ku-klux,
For some five years, the people Of the
north have been regularly RECALLED with
the terrible doings of the khan in va
rous parts of the south and notwith,
standing the fact that the local govern
ment of South Carolina is radical in
every department, there is where ex-
IRENE measures have been put forth
to suppress the organization, which ac-
cording to radical authority is the prin-
cipal obstacle to thorough restoration
of the south to state Of law and order.
Martial law has been declared in GER
tain districts of South Carolina. AS
might have been foreseen, reign of
terror has been inaugurated which is
infinitely worse than all the disorders
heretofore charged to the ku-klux.
The military are arresting citizens with.
out discrimination. Many ofthe peace
full inhabitants have fed before the
officers Of the law, leaving homes
and property unprotected, and the lat
ter are now prey to the depredations
Of the negroes and lawless persons
generally. Hundreds of citizens have
sought concealment in the woods which
they will only leave for other and more
distant places Of safety. A bloody
contest is reported between band of
ku-klux and some U. 8. troops, and
the latter have called for reinforcemeuts.
Here we see the inevitable results of
martial law. The inhabitants of whole
counties are excited, alarmed, the
peaceful habits of daily life interrupt
ed, homes broken up and families scat.
tered abroad. The deliberate wickedness
of Gen. Grant and his advisers is only
equaled by their folly in visiting these
Affections upon the mass of communi-
ty for the purpose of Furnishing small
proportion Of evil-doers. The cure is
worse than the disease. But there are
none so blind as those who will not see,
and the radical party are self-bl,nded
to the ruinous course pursued
by their leaders--to the ignorance, ar.
rogance aud wickedness of the admin
istration, which sacrifices every thing
rather than its own selfish and misera-
BILE schemes.

whisky, induced him to make a counter
