THE KU KLUx-Leading Radical journals
throughout the country, in sustaining the Ku
Klux law passed by Congress, insist that the
Ku Klux is political organization. and as
such, is in sympathy with the Democratic par
ty; that in fact it is the Southern ally of the
Northern Democracy. We clip the following
from late Memphis, (Tenn.) appeal:
NASHVILLE, May 5.--Thc Union and Americans
Huntington special says John Legori. accused of Ku
Kluxing, was tried on Thursday, and convicted and
sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years There
were nine Democrats on the jury.
The appeal, in its comments, says:
Left to ourselves-relieved of the blighting curse
of Radical legisation-we believe that any such out
rage as has thus been avenged would be impossible
in Tennessee. We arc for law and order
against Radicals and their allies, the Ku Klux.
Nine Democrats on the jury, and yet Mr..
Ku Klux received a ten years berth in the
State prison, and the case tried before Grant
issued his proclamation

championship of the world, it must be decided
by a fair fight in the ring. 1t is not believed
that Coburn will fight, as he acted cowardly
when in the ring with Mace the last time, and
it is believed that he is afraid of Mace.

HORRIBLE AFFAIR.-A terrible affair is re-
ported by passengers by the steamer Pelican,
from Eureka and Umpqua, on recent trip
between those ports On the trip to Eureka
there was on board the steamer "a family from
Indiana, consisting of father, mother. and four
children the youngest of whom was a girl of
eleven years, who was sick and confined 10 her
bed in a stateroom. On the night before the
arrival of the steamer at Umraua the steward
of the vessel, a Malayan named Smith, entered
the child's room and outraged her person. AZ
ter the recovery of her senses the child gave
the alarm, and identified Smith as the perpe-
TRAITOR He was tied, and on the arrival of the
steamer at Umpqua was tried by the citizens
and condemned to death. Securely tied, he
was placed in boat and man selected by lot
got in and rowed off up the river, out of sight,
when pistol shot was heard and shortly AT.
terward the boatman returned alone While
we deprecate the manner of disposing of the
villain. and the mode of trial, still we don't
think he got any more than he deserved.

AN INDEPENDENT DECIsIoN.--In the U. S.
Circiit Court in Nashville, Tennessee, a couple

AN INDEPENDENT DECISIQN.--In the u. S.
CirciIit Court in Nashville, Tennessee, a couple
of weeks ago, an important decision was rem
dered by Judge Trigg in case arising under
the notorious Civil Rights bill. Itappears that
a negro named George Carter had purchased
a first.class ticket at the depot of the Louis
Vile and Nashville railroad and placed it in the
hands of his wife, and the two thereupon went
into the ladies' car of the train about to start
for Louisville The conductor, Bannister
Compton, accompanied by several other par
ties, in making their rounds through the cars,
discovered the negroes and requested them to
take seats in another first-class car, as the one
they were in was appropriated by the company
to the use of white ladies and their attendants.
The negroes refused to vacate their seats,
whereupon they were put out, The matter
was brought before the United States Grand
Jury aud Compton and his assistants were in
dicted, under the Civil Rights act. on the
ground that they had subjected the negroes,
Carter and his wife, to deprivation of their
rights on account of their color. A motion
was made by defendants counsel to quash the
indictment and Judge Trigg sustained the mo-
ton, deciding "that Congress did not intend
by said act to bring about social equality by
law, and that the law, properly construed,
means that persons must be denied the enforce
ment of their rights in the courts, or by virtue
of some statute or ordinance OF the State on
account of their race or color, and not by any
regulation of the common carrier, who has a
right to adopt reasonable rules in the trans
portation of passengers" Radical papers re-
gard the adoption of such rules as very un-
reasonable They think if negro, no matter
what is his character, whether he is the filth
lest "roustabout" or "stevedOre " that can be
found, should buy first-class ticket on the
cars, he is entitled to force himself into the
special car set apart for the use of white Ia
dies, and when he is elected howl is raised
over the indignities and outrages heaped upon
their colored brethren. Several Judges, in
different States, who possess an extra allow
ance of "loyalty," have decided that negroes,
under the Civil Rights bill, possess such privi-
leges, but in the District of Columbia, in or
der to enforce negro equality, it was found
necessary for Congress to pass special act to
that effect. Sumner demanded the passage of
such bill and Radical Congress acquiesced,
Grant, of course, adding his approval

THE RADICAL KU-KLUX.

The Internal and damnable rascality of the
carpet-bag scoundrels in North Carolina is
taking such form that even q truculent Radical
telegraph is compelled to announce little
truth from that section. We find among late
dispatches the folowing.
Herald special from Shelby, North Carolina. says
the arrested Ku-Klux appeared before commissioner
Moore yesterday, together with eighteen others,
whose names are included in the warrant, ana VINO
voluntarily appeared, not having been arrested Inc
complaining witnesses not present. alleging rear
of life if they attended. The story was dlscredteo
and the Commissioner ordered the witnesses to be
arrested and brought to Shelby to-day The prison.
ers seem anxious to have trial.
Soldiers were used to make the arrest of the
parties accused, and yet the infamous scoun-
drels who have accused these men of outrages
and caused their arrest by the military author
tiles under the recent act of Congress refuse
to appear against them, under the plea that
their worthless lives would be endangered
thereby. A wonderful though bloodless, vic
tory was gained; several parties arrested by
military authority, and eighteen others, against
whom charges had been preferred, voluntarily
come forward and demand trial, and they
find their cowardly, sneaking and lying accu-
sers afraid to show their hang-dog countenan-
ces, even before Radical official and give in
their perjured testimony. au
North Carolina is Democratic. Grant and
his Ku-Klux friends will 60 to any length to
inaugurate little private hell on their own
account in that State, so as to afford the pub
lie official broker and grand gift receiver an
excuse to override the civil authorities in that
State, and place it under the control of his
shoulder.strapped minons. Such was his OBJ
ject ia procuring the passage of the Ku-klux
Force bill, so called; and having the cards in
his own hands, he intends to deal himself the
trumps for q denomination and election. Put
a beggar on horseback and he will ride to the
devil. Grant started in ten years ago as a
beggar, aud now he is millionaire The his
tory of our country affords no other instance
of public man who, by means of official posi-,
ton alone, so suddenly arose from abect pow
erty to Opulence. 1t is certainly proposition
very easy of demonstration that his salary has
not betrayed one-half Of his expenses; that he
was poor during the war, and that he has
made more money out Of the Presidency than
did all his predecessors in office combined
The Radical party has an elephant on its hands
in the person of Grant and the unusual, extra
ordinary and dictatorial powers with which
Radical Congress has invested him, makes him
master of the situation, SO far rs concerns any
opposition to him within the ranks of the Rad
ical party, and by crushing the South under
his military Ku.Klux law he can insure his
reelection, though not his Inauguration.

A DIscRFDIrABLE PARDON President
Grant has finally pardoned Bowen, the
bigamist With singular propriety the
pardon was countersigned by Bancroft
Davis, the bribe taker, as Acting Secre-
tary of State. After this there is no rea.
son why any convicted criminal should
not be pardoned No matter how black
their crimes OF how clear the evidence Of
their guilt, President Grant can consist
emily discharge them all. Bowen is a
scoundrel of extraordinary iniamy.
When Confederate soldier he murdered
his superior officer, and a(tcrward went
over to the Union side In obtaining his
sham divorce he fraudulently altered,
with the skill Of n counterleiter, the rec.
ords OF the Supreme Court in this city.
His conviction for bigamy was upon the
clearest evidence, and if the law against
that crime is ever TO be enforced, it should
be done in his case
But with presenttaker for a Presi.
dent, and a bribe taker for Secretary of
State, the pardon Of a bigamist is some
thing which should not surprise any one
