THE KU-KLUX.
Chasing them Out in South Carolina
The Voluntary Surrenders
Conclusive Evidence
Against Them.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Senator Scott
has received a letter from Yorkville
Is. c. acted Oct. 30, in which it is
stated that Avery, Tomlison and Brat
ton, together with twenty-five or thirty
others of the Ku-Klux have precipitate-
ly fled. About one hundred and sixty
delivered themselves up. The evidence
is very strong against them. There is
confirmation of a large number of whip
pings and of a hanging in which Tomli-
son and Bratton were leaders and Avery
an accessory; also, of the murders of
Brown, Leet and Romidtrer, and five
other murders not heretofore reported
Thirty men concerned in various muir
ders are in Jail, most of them having
fully confessed, and showed that all the
murders were committed by order of
the grand chief, Avery. There is re-
joicing among the people at the relief
which has been afforded them, and the
Presidents action is thought to be vim
dicated by the facts.
Letters from gentlemen connected
with the sub-Ku-Klux committee, dated
Livingston. Ala, Oct. 3lst, say that up

been examined i'll that county. The
worst trouble is in procuring deputies
to serve subpoenas.
A special from South Carolina says
in York county over hundred men
have been arrested, including four ne
groes, and nearly as many more have
voluntarily given themselves up, who
confessed that they belong to the Ku
klux Klan, and have told the whole
story of their connection with it. In
Spartansburg county the number of ar
rests thus far is about one hundred,
many of whom made confessions. The
greater part of the men apprehended
belong to the poor white class The re-
port published in some of the New York
papers of the arrest OF women is untrue,
as are all other stories about prisoners
being subject to cruel treatment or un-
necessary hardship.

Money i'm New York.

A New York telegram of the 9th to
the Cincinnati Chronicle says:
The outside interest is so Indifferent
to the financial situation, that business
is restricted, at times, to complete stag
nation. The only active speculative in
terest is on the bull side, and the par
ties involved are so well known, and
their operations so visible, that they are
suffered to do rs they wish. Hence they
have 'milked" the street for light prof
its, from day to day, meeting little oppo-
sition and enlisting little help. 1t is
the season of the year when the large
outside interest is usually taken away
from Wall street to mercantile and 9TH
er pursuits. Robbed of this, and indif-
ferent to the one-side clique element,
the market readily affords an explana-
ton of its dullness. Call loans are read
lily made at the legal rate. In some in
stances paid in gold. The market seems
to follow daily fluctuations toward lower
prices, each afternoon before the banks
close, so that while seven is the general
figure at the Board, the sidewalk figure
is almost invariably five per cent 1t is
alleged that the bull cliques pay the full
legal rate in the morning, and loan.
money at lower figures in the afternoon
On the other hand, there are doubtless
number of the leaders who, seeing
money at early in the day, calculate it
to be worth no less at the closing hours,
but are disappointed in the inactivity
of the demand, and force their balances
to the street rather than have them go
over unemployed A very large amount
of money is seeking investment from
dividends and rents. First-class rail-
way mortgages are the favorites for in
vestments, being lower than Govern
ments.

Prospects OF the HOE Crop.

lrrom the LoulsVllle Courler-Journal
Some packers say that there will be
ten per cent. more hogs this year than
last; others insist that though the hog
crop will show large increase in Indi-
ana and throughout the Northwest,
there will be a decrease in Kentucky ;
while one gentleman, a member of one
OF our leading firms, informed us yester-
day that he expected to get more hogs,
proportionately, from those localities in
which the agents had reported falling
off in the crop than in others where no
decrease was claimed. Last year Lou
isville got fewer hogs than usual from
Indiana, but this season there is an inn
mense corn crop, which is selling at very
low prices, and which can be made
more profitable to the farmer by being
put into pork than by being sent to
market in any other way. This, il is
claimed, will cause the farmers OF Indi-
ana TO iatten every hog they can get
hold Of and will thus vastly increase the
number driven 10 the slaughter pens.
The same is said Of the Northwest gem

The Dry Goods Trade.

The Journalcf Commerce says that for
the first time this year the monthly re-
port of the imports of foreign dry goods
falls below the corresponding total of
last year. Up to the first of October
the gain since January lst on last years
total was S26, 100000. In October the
receipts were behind the corresponding
month of last year about three-quarters
of a million. The entries directly for
consumption fell off one and half mil
lions, while the entries for warehousng
increased nearly one million. Whether
the gain which has been so constant has
now received more than a temporary
check it is too soon to tell. 1t is evil
dent that the increased volume has sup
piled the market, and the stock in bond
has increased. Part of this storing pro-
cess may have come from the pressure
on the money market, making it less
convenient for the importers to pay the
duties promptly, and inducing them to
take advantage of the respite given i'm
the bonding of the invoice. The future
course of the trade will be watched
more narrowly than ever.

Experiences of Children i'm the North

Detroit Post says: "You have already

Falls to Canada, and saved in spite of
storm, and hunger, and exposure. |
saw Mrs. Mann, the mother of these
children, who arrived here yesterday on
board the Huron. She had given up
all of them for lost. But, mother-likc,
though four were saved, she mourned
deeply for the lost one who, half clad
and shivering in the'cold water in the
bottom of the boat, sailed away upon an
unknown and measurless sea, almost in
sight of land and deliverance There
were five children in this boat belonging
TO Mrs. Mann, and four to the owner
of the boat who took them away,
making nine infant voyagers, who for
three days without food and wet
to the skin, foated across Lake Huron
in boat which was kept from going to
the bottom by means of an old boot and
shoe, which were the only vessels for
bailing that these unfortunate travellers
had on hand. The mothers heart
seemed deeply touched, and trembled
because no last Offices and loving min
istries could, in the nature OF the case,
be paid to the little one whose voyage
Of life was at once so brief and eventful.
When these four children were put on
a tug at Kincardine, Ontario, to be re-
turned to their parents, it struck rock
just as it was getting under way, and
went down. The children were rescued
and sent homeward by the cars. They
have at last reached Port Huron, after
adventures by field and flood, almost |
equal to Othello's, and it is hoped that
they will arrive home without further
accident.

THE TWO SHIPS.

As stand by the cross on the lone mountains
crest
Looking over the ultimate sea,
In the gloom OF the mountain ship lies at rest,
And one sails away from the lea:
One spreads its white wings on a far-reaching
track
with pennant and sheet flowing free;
One hides I'm the shadow with sails laid aback--
The ship that Is waiting for mel
But 10, in the distance the clouds break awayl
The Gate's glowing portals see;
And hear through the outgoing ship In the
bay
The song OF the sailors In gloe;
SO think of the luminous footprints that bore
The comfort o er dark Galilee,
And wait for the signal togo 70 the shore,
To the ship that Is waiting for me.

A singular suit has recently been de-
cided in Pennsylvania, involving the |
rights of church members to the prop
erty of the church. A German Re-
formed congregation in Crawford
county, a majority Of whose members,
possessed of the Cheney rebellious
spirit, undertook to call and settle
pastor without having the call submit
led to or approved by the Chassis, or
Synod This was declared irregular by
the church authorities, whereupon
majority of the members of the reirac-
tory church undertook to "set up for
themselves" and attempted to control
the church property. The case went
into Court and Judge Sharswood, in
giving his decision upon the points in
volved, said:
They might, indeed, as individuals,
! form any kind of church they pleased
Independent, or connected with any
other ecclesiastical organization. The
land was before them, but then they
must cease to be a German Reformed
Church, and abandon all claim of right
to hold any of the property of that
church. 1t was part of their religious
liberty, guaranteed them by the Consti-
tuition of the Commonwealth, to separate
from their former association, il they

ed, and to provide for the election OF
another consistory by those who still
adhere to the order and discipline of the
church. 1t is an emergency which can
be met and provided for in no other
way. By their own act they are stran.

church. The whole case is then reduced
