The Radicals are getting very tired of

ton. Men of Republican sentiments were
summoned from every portion Of the South
ern States and especially North and South
Carolina and Alabama, in the hope of pi-
ling up an array of testimony against the
Southern people, sufficient to su stain the
unwarrantable action of Congress in the
passage OF the "Ku Klux" bill and other
oppressive acts. All this seems to be of no
avail. A few, who are disposed to sustain
the destructives, have given just the tes-
timohy they were desired to give. The
larger number, however, have testified to
the law-abiding spirit and the quiet and
good order which exists in their localities,
Among the latter is Federal Judge, Bus
teed, Of Alabama, who not only testified to
the good order prevailing, but calls in cues.

the contrary, and asserts that the records
in his courts have been falsifed to prove
about thirty violations of the 'sCivil Rights
Bill" He also showed up the character of

official Republican paper of Alabama sub.
stimulates the statements of Judge Busted
and others in its editorial columns.

quently, so little to be gained in support of

al legislation by a continuous investigation,
that an adjustment till Fall, and even an
adjournment sine die is talked of. From
all accounts, the effort of the 'sKu Klux"
investigating committee to advance the in
terests Of the Republican party, at the ex-
pense Of the South, is most signal failure.
In proportion as the failure is great will be
the advantage Of the investigation to the
South. The Radicals understand this and
hence their desire to adjourn the Commit
tee. If adjourned, even till Fall, we doubt
if it ever meets again. 1t can not be made
to subserve the Republican party purposes
without the prostituting of evidence, which
must inevitably rebound to the advantage
Of the South. We have, in all probability,
therefore, heard the last of the ''Ku Klux, >
