ANSWER THIs7


If the South is overrun with hu-hiux,
and these Ku-Klux are chasing and
hanging negroes all over the South, how
did it happen that such an immense
cotton crop was raised and secured last
year? How does it happen that the
prospect is so fine this season. The
convenient witnesses before the Ku-Klux
Committee have not deposed, and dare
not depose that negroes have been driven
from the fields by Ku-Klux, or that
planting operations have eninterfered
with in solitary instance. The whole
thing is monstrous falsehood, born in
rascality and nurtured in corruption
Upon the forehead Of the pretense that
the negroes of the South are maltreated
by an organization known as the ku-
Klux, and ramifying all over the South,
the lie should be burned bone deep-so
deep that no probe could sound it, and
no art erase it. tits time to speak out
on this subject

1t is said at Washington that the
trouble is not yet over on the negro
cadet question Another negro has been
introduced, and having been placed
under the direction of Smith, that he
might teach him the ropes of West
Point cadet life, has been badly abused
by that incipient eommander-in-chief of
the American armies. Hence the
trouble. Smith treated him cruelty and
went for him generally. The niger
cannot be kept from under the public
eye. In our politics and society he is
ubiquitous, universal and irrepealable.
We are nothing without him. To make
a voter of him million lives were sacri-
feed. To place him in the ascendant
in the South, State Governments were
kicked over and statutes and adjudiea-
tons trampled under foot He must
ride on the railroad cars, stop at hotels,
drink whisky, play poker, and go to
school at West Point. But notwithstand-
ing all this, and a great deal more, he
must be estimated by his usefulness. II
is no fault of his that he occupies his
present position. 1t was forced upon
him. 1t surprised, it bewildered, with.
out satisfying him. The more he saw
the more he wanted, and the more h'
wanted, the more he was disappointed
He is becoming rational. He is not tC
blame. Let no III be thought or spoken
Of him. Without his labor do you know
what would occur2 We should be com
PEELED to abandon the cotton and re,
fields Of the South. Let no III be thought
of him, but lift him up and make him q
man. II, innocently, he was at the bot
tom Of the strife that ruined the fortune
of every gentleman Of the South, he
NAV be the instrument Of its restoration
It is idle to talk Of superceding his labor

Il cannot be done. He cannot and

THE RADICAL DIsTEMPER AT WASH
INGTON.

The committee appointed by the Hous,
of Delegates of the Territory of Column
bia Washington City, to investigate thu
charges of corruption, yenality and ex
tortion against the officials of the Police
Court, have reported; and what an ex-
posure of loyal villainyl The fines as
sessed and collected, amounting to thou
sands of dollars, we're pocketed by the
officials. All the disbursements, says
the committee, were made by the court
in contempt of the law of its creation.
The committee says: "The court has
failed to meet the public expectation in
every respect. 1t has failed financially;
it has failed to afford prompt trials for
trivial offenses; it has failed to afford war
rants for prompt arrest of offenders, ex-
cept during the brief hours of the sittings
of the court; and it has failed in dignity
by reason of the personelle of its OH
GERS, who, manifestly to the public, with
out just appreciation Of the response
bility of their positions, have over
stepped the bounds of propriety in
many respects, while culpably negligent
in regard to some of their most import
ant official duties" THE proof, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer, shows that
fines much larger than those assessed
were collected; that the records were
altered; that warrants were issued for
the mere purpose of extorting money
that on subpoena for one witness some
six or eight persons would be arrested
and incarcerated in prison; that unfor-
tunate women were heavily black
mailed, and in addition the apartments
of Justice used for purposes of prostitu-
ton; that costs and fees we're piled up
without authority of law against the
United States and the Metropolitan
Government that witnesses would be
subpenaed and kept for weeks at board
ing-houses and hotels at the ex-
pense of defendants, in direct vio-
lation Of law; that prisoners arrested
Saturday would be kept until Sunday
without food, and the Government
charged as if they had been fed; that in
cidental expenses were multiplied and
swollen into huge proportions, and
finally that every means were resorted
to to rob the public and plumber unfor-
Inmates. The committee was compelled
to recommend the abolition of the Court,
so rotten, corrupt and offensive had it
become. The personnel Of the Court,
from the Judge down-whites and
blacks-is all of modern sham Republic
canism, and is thoroughly under the in
fluence of the Radical distemper which
afflicts the country from one end of it to
the other"

Time Cut Short by Steam-The Sym.
boil of Speed Photographed.
We have on our table beautiful pho
tograph representing pair Of magnif-
cent antlers, presented recently to the
Louisville and Cincinnati Short Line
Railroad e. for making the quickest time
ever made from Louisville to Eastern
cities" This road is entitled to the
horns, having made quicker time than
any road ever did south Of the Ohio
river, if not north Of it.
Some events in the history of this eel
ebrated "Short Line" which furnishes
the most important link going North,
are really notable in railroad annals.
A number of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
dated August l4th, before us, gives a
full account of changing the gauge OF
the railroad, the entire distance Of two
hundred and six miles being narrowed
three inches, on the 18th instant This
prodigious achievement was skillfully
accomplished in less than one day, and
the running of the trains was scarcely
disturbed, so expeditions was the work.
To work Systematically, the entire
road had been divided into sections
which were as near equal as possible in
the amount of work to be done, and
each section assigned to a superintend-
ent or boss" with his quota of trained
laborers used to this kind of work. The
road from Louisville to Lexington 1.-THE
old line, as it is called was divided
into seventeen sections, an average OF
six miles to each, while there was as.
signed to every one boss and twenty
men. The road from LaGrange juno
ton, the point Of departure from the
old line by the Cincinnati road, was
divided into the same number Of sec
tons, though the average length was a
little less than FIVE miles each, while the
force of workmen was the same. This
was rendered necessary by this part Of
the road being required at an earlier
hour than the other. To do this eight
hundred and six workmen were required
while their operations would be superin
tended by thirty-four section bosses
The work was new to none Of them, a
all had been engaged on similar worl
before.
The work began simultaneously on al
the sections, and was successfully per
/ formed in six hours, making allowance
for some delays. A train of elegant car
left Louisville at nine o'clock in ~
morning, and after picking up the work
men, and doing other tedious duty, /
arrived in Cincinnati at eight O'clocl
that night II took three months to ge
ready for this work, and il cost $l64 800
The bill was footed by Louisville cit,
and the Louisville and Nashville Rail
road Company. This gives Louisville
through route East, and il is over thi
line that the quickest time has beel
made between Louisville and the East

speech, is reported to have said that the
Government took credit for paying two
hundred and thirty millions of the pub

done so, they had unjustifably wasted
twenty-five millions, besides paying
twenty millions more, each year, as

WITHOUT indorsing the accuracy of
this statement, we give it. We should
be glad to find that it is not true, We
fear, however, it is. A contemporary
says: We learn that from the 29th of
April, 1869, to the 10Th of July, 1871,
the reconstructed Legislature of Arkan-
sas issued State aid railroad bonds to
the aggregate amount of $3,5OO,OOO, and
up to this date that sum has not built
one mile of road. The grant in 1863
amounted to $500, 900; in 1870 to $2,35O,-
900, and this year to $4,000 so far.
For two years and over the merry game
of receiving the State Endorsement with
one hand and discounting it off with the
other has been going on, and this is
about the sum and substance of the rail
way work done.
