The causes which operated upon the
recent election in this State begin to
he better understood, and reveal how
it was temporarily carried. It isrov
ascert;,ined that although the Republi-
cans pr0fessedly followed the course
of the Democrats in declaring their
opposition to railroad subsidies, "a
combination was formed between the
corporations seeking this aid and the
Bank of California-the great financial
power of the Stately which both
these Influences were combined against
the Democratic ticket. This hostility
was particularly directed to the defeat
of Governor Haight, whose vetoes had
proved his sincerity against all
schemes for plundering the State and
prostituting its credit to selfish objects.
Hence, while publicly affecting to
adopt his policy, a secret alliance was
formed by the Republicans, intended,
at any cost, to prevent the reelection
OF the Governor who was the great
obstacle to the plans Of the Ring
Counties which were to be benefited
by the subsidies discarded political con-
sideration and supported the ticket,
whichsthey had reason to know, if
elected, would protect their local in
terests. Superadded to this cause, the
new eolored vote, numbering some
fifteen hundred, was thrown in favor
of the Republicans.
This successful deception, which
will he fully exposed at the meeting OF
the Legislature, when the conditions
of the bargain and sale, in the form OF
immense subsidies, must be fulfilled,
cannot fail to produce reaction in the
public mind, and bring the people OF
California to a realizing sense of the
fraud which they haye innocently sane
toned, by a mistaken faith in false
profession. Washington Patriot.

The usually well posted Washington cores.
pondent Of the Baltimore Sun telegraphs to
that paper, on Friday night, as follows:
ut is learned that the Presidential procla-
nation under the Ku-KluX act means more
than Its surface would indicate. 1t is now
known positively that for more than six weeks
past, or even since the Ku-KluX committee of
| Congress returned from the South, the admin.
istration has had under consideration policy
to be enforced not only against the so-called
| Ku-KuX organizations, but In the administra-
tIon of Federal civil affairs in the South.
There was no substantial difference of opinion
among the President and the Cabinet and the
leading Republicans who favored this new
order of things, except as to the time when IL
shall be enforced, and that accounts for the
delay until after the October elections. The
proclamation is, therefore, but the forerunner
of martial law AMI the suspension OF the writ
OF habedS corpus. as provided by the
fourth section of the act of April Goth.
This says that any Ku-KIux organl-
rebellion against the government, the limits
of which shall be prescribed by proclamation,
and also by commanding the insurgents to
disperse," before the privileges of the writ OF
habeas corpus are suspended. a prominent
member of the government and also leading
Republicans declared to-day that the arrange
ments of the civil and military for wholesale
arrests of members of the Ku-Klu1 Klan had
been perfected, and that the country would be
surprised, If the proclamation were not needed,
by the arrest of well-known Southern men.
Iuasmuch as it is averred that outrages In the
South are provoked by corruption OF office
holders, and the plunder OF the people, 1t Is
the intention Of the President to warfare
against all corrupt Federal officials, and to in
vlte the cooperation of all good Republicans
for the displacement OF bad State officials.
This Is to go haud-in-hand with the enforce
ment OF the Ku-Klux law, until it Is stated
There Is lasting peace in the South"
In confirmation of the above, We find the
following In the Washington correspondence OF
the Baltimore Gazette:
"The Presidents proclamation to-day Is bul
forerunuer of declaration OF martial law
in South Carolina. 1t was decided in Cabinet
some weeks ago to take this action, but the
President refrained for the time, hoping affair:
! would go shape themselves as to render such
| severe measures unnecessary; but he has been
| constantly importuned by Southern Radicals
and men of Senator Scott's class to take this
step, and encouraged by Radical successes II
Pennsylvania and Ohio, he at last yielded
That martial law will be proclaimed there
seems to be no doubt. The Radicals are jubi
liant, and claim that the President has commit
ted himself and cannot back down now, bu
must carry out his threats to the letter."

THE NEWMAN MURDER.
The Flight and Death OF the Murderer
His Father Insane,

A correspondent of the Columbia Union,
whose letter is dated October 9th, gives some
interesting information for Ku.Klux apollo
gists," In the shape of statement that, at the
time of the murder, Ingram was under Ku-
Klux influence, and was on his way to Ku-
Klux den. In the Lancaster Ledger of the
18th, we fnd the following full account OF the
murder. That 1t should have been set down
to the Ku-Klux, is proof enough of the shifts
to which the Radical sheets ore reduced:
The murder of Mr.. John Newman on the
18th of September ultimo, by his brother in
Law. Skies Ingram, youth about eighteen
@ears of age, is still fresh in the minis Of ou-
Eaders. Young Ingram at the time lie COM
&1ed the rash act, was under the influence
6fHquor, and had gone 10 his brother-in-aw' 8
(Newman's) house, where his mother was re-
siding, and after staying short time, de-
clared his intention Of leaving. His mother,
discovering that he had been drinking, pre-
vailed upon Mr.. Newman to try and deter him
from leaving. Newman went out and met him
near the gate, caught hold of his bride and
begged him not to go; but he refused to listen
to any appeals, and drew his knife and told
Newman to let go the reins or he would cut
him. Newman still continued to beg him,
and laid his hand upon Ingram's leg, when
Ingram suddenly drew his knife and inflicted
a mortal wound.,cutting Newman's throat,
severiDg the jrg14 yein, from which he died
in few hours.
The sad occuKr4hce cast a gloom over the
community in which the participants lived,
and the father OF young Ingram, Mr.. Sllas In
gram, sought to shield his son by taking him
to the West. Shortly after the murder, MT:
W85am, with his son, left, and nothing had
z *. heard of either until last Saturday night,
80 we received information of their where
|Hcats.
It appears that after they left this county
they made In the direction Of the Blue Ridge,
N North Carolina, with the intention of cross.
ing into Tennessee. From the Rutherford Vim
dicator we learn that they arrived at Sandy
Plains, Polk County, N. c., on the 25lh ult.,
both alex and partially deranged. Skies In
gram, the murderer, died on the Thursday fol-
lowing, and the old man, Silas, was In such
condition that nothing satisfactory could be
obtained from him in regard to his family.
