THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT,


Upon receipt of the first returns from
Connecticut Republicans raised a cry Of
victory and their rejoicing was tumul-
tuous! 1t seemed probable, for Connect.
icut has been wavering State for the
last 80 years. Last year the Democrats
carried 1t by about 700 majority, but
heretofore white mon only could vote.
This year over 1000 negroo votes were
added to the Republican strength; being
sufficient to overbalancc the Democratic
majority of last year. Notwithstanding
all this, however, Gov ENGLISH, Dem
ocrat, is re. e.elected Governor and the
whole Democratic State ticket is also
elected. Two Republicans and one
Democrat are elected to Congress. The
other district is very close and in doubt.
In the last Congress the Republicans
had three members and the Democrats
one. The Legislature is very close, hut
owing to an unfair apportionment is
probably Republican.
In any case there is not much signif-
cance In the result of an election in a
yankee State. If the Democrats ever
triumph in the Nation it must be in
opposition to them and over New Eng.
land interests and ideas. Connecticut
and New Hampshire are not so grossly
yankee in their ideas as the other New
England States, and may possibly sub.
nit to regeneration, but hope in that
direction is rather forlorn.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1871-04-07

This parsonage has recently made a
speech in the US. Senate in opposition
to the San Domingo scheme and in
attack upon President GRANT. Feeling
the utmost indifference as to the quarrel
between these Radical magnates, we
have not wasted the time that would be
required to read the speech and there
fore have no comments to make about
it.
But we have word to say about that
euphonious editorial simplicity which
induces some of our Democratic contem-
poraries to bespatter the rotten fanatical
traitor and negro worshipper with
praise simply because he fights GRANT,
after being kicked and cufled into that
position. The old scoundrel has spent
twenty years in the U. s. Senate solely
to the purpose Of destroying his coun-
try and is in a greater degree responsible
for its past and present troubles and op-
pressions than any man living, and yet
Democratic editors are to be found weak
enough to praise him! After that no
man need fear that he can become so
infamous that he may not acquire IA
vorable mention and even personal
eulogy, by simply abusing President
GRANT! No murderer swings from
the gallows who deserves a tythe OF the
loathing richly earned by the traltorous
scoundrel maintained in the U. 8. Sen
ate by the justly infamous State o.
Massachusetts,, the debased political
harlot that gives birth to all the great
crimes and fanaticisms that afiiict this
once happy country. The Democrat
who yields praise to the coward poltroor
traitor, who revels in the infamy o
being principal parsonage in the op
preston, and degradation, and deeI
wrong brought upon his country, alik'
forgets decency and patriotism and de
serves to be spat upon Let the leprou
and filthy traitor reap his just reward
nothing but the anathema Of all hi
patriotic countrymen.

The Democratic Press.

There is no better evidence of the
good health of a political party, or Its
growing strength, than is afforded by
the condition of its newspaper organs.
Lately we have had frequent occasion
to notice the improvements made by
our cotemporaries, by new type as well
as by engagements. Prosperity alone
would induce these improvements, and
they are therefore positive evidence of
the increasing strength and growing
power of the Democratic party.
These remarks are induced by the ap.
pearance of the Gettysburg Compiler
upon our table printed with entirely
new type. 1t is now one of the hand
soonest, as it has long been one of the
ablest, Democratic papers printed in
this or any other State. 1t deserves the
vigorous support of the Democracy of
that section of the State and is credit
to them as we'll as to its publisher.
AS the editor, Mr.. II. j. STABLE, has
not yet been brought forward for
Auditor or Surveyor General, las has
been the fortune of most of his cotem-
poraries) we respectfully suggest that
mode Of showing due appreciation Of
his enterprise and ability. He would
be creditable candidate to the party
and would prove most efficient officer
in either position. The Democratic
Convention would do we'll to assign him
to the lead.

A Sensible Radical l.OYernOr.

Mississippi Is one of the States in
which BUTLERand the rest of that pesti.
lent gang would have us believe the
Ku-klux-klan rule supreme but, un-
fortunately for tho agitators who are
just now holding up a bloody shirt, the
Radical Governor of Mississippi has
telegraphed TO Washington, announcing
that there Is not the slightest necessity
for Congressional interference with the
affairs Of his State. He declares that no
obstruction exists to prevent the laws
from being enforced against all evil
doers, and that United States troops are
not wanted there. Governor ALcoRN
telegraphs thus to the members of Con.
gress from Mississippi, all of whom are
Radicals of the most approved pattern.
He says there is no disturbance in the
State which the civil authorities cannot
easily suppress, and that no disorder
exists, except at one or two points along
the border. Radical as ALcoRN Is, re-
marks the Lancaster Inteiiigeacer, he is
evidently man of sound Judgment.
He knows very we'll that the presence
of an armed military force in the state
would only have the effect Of engender-
ing bitter feelings which would beget
outbreaks. No doubt BUTLER knows
that as well as ALCoRN, and there is
reason to believe that one object of the
bill proposed by him, is to eXasperate
the people of the South to such degree
that they may forget the teachings of
prudence, and thus create capital for
the Republican party, which is falling
to pieces. Senator AMEs, the son-in.law
of BEN. BUTLER, had copy of Cover
nor ALCoRN's despatch In his pocket
when Senator SHERMAN was hurling
anathemas against the whole South, but
he did not produce it. He has no right
to the seat he occupies, and misrepre-
sonts the people of the State from which
he processes to come. Is it any wonder
the people Of the South are indignant
at q system which has enabled q general
of the army to make himself Senator
from Mississippi by force of his bayo-
nets? Is it strange that they should feel
outraged when the son.in.law of BEN.
BUTLER sits in his seat and hears those
whom he represents reviled, while he
holds in his hand a telegram which
would give thelie toal1 these calumnies?

Eu kluy klal,,

In view of the fact that the Republi-
can leaders have determined to raise a
hue and cry about the Ku Klux and
thereby if possible excite and fool 1.-THE
Northern mind"--that is, such portion of
the Northern people as are supposed to
be sap.headed-it may be well enough
to give some account Of those who are
so entitled. What the words are derived
from is of no value, as they have no in
trinsic meaning. Some say they are an
imitation of cooking and pretended at
tempt to fire off a musket or other un-
loaded gun. Others ascribe them to a
corruption of rebel war cry, and Others
again to the noise superstitlously sup
posed to be made by demon, especially
that species which particularly haunt
negroes. In their first phases, the Ku
Klux were simply experts, generally
mounted, who dressed in ghostly habili-
ments, and by this means and dexterous
use of phosphorus and magic and dark
lanterns, frightened the thieving ne
groes let loose by the war, who nightly
prowled around for plunder, to their
dens or homes. After time, however,
all lawless characters came to be called
Ku Klux, and to assume the garb when
it suited their convenience. These
characters have no pCAtical party affini-
ties, or belong to all parties, and are of
all colors, nationalities, sentiments and
purposes. The depredations ofthe whole
of them, in any given territory, are not
more extensive than those in an equal
amount of territory and population in
many northern localities, and are as
completely within the reach and power
of State authority. All the fuss and
biather about them and their crimes is
only political clap trap, avowedly and
palpably gotten up to influence votes in
favor of the Radicals at the ensuing
Presidential election, and he must be
soft soul indeed who can be influenced
in his vote by such means.

European News.

France is the only country that at
present affords interesting news from
Europe. Recently heavy battles have
occurred in the vicinity of Paris and
Versailles, between the forces of the
THEIRS Republic, established by the
National Assembly which was elected
to form government, and Red Re-
public or commune set up in Paris by
the turbulant spirits of that city. The
battles are repres ented to have been
very obstinate and bloody, with decid-
led advantage to the THEIRS govern
ment. Marshal M'MAHoN, the favor
ite General of NAPOLEON, is now COM
mander'in chief of the latter forces, ,and
as he is the ablest of French Generals
he will no doubt triumph over all oppo-
sition, and perhaps the government
that now employs him also. In time,
we do not doubt, NAPOLEON and the
Empire will be re established.
Prussia has annexed Luxemburg by
treaty. The only choice of the latter
was merely to determine the manner of
being swallowed.

LEGISLATION is pretty thoroughly
blocked, and will remain so until the
Radicals agree to the passage of re.
spectacle apportionment bill. That
which passed the Senate by Democratic
votes was only put forward because a
first proposition from that side was sure
to be rejected, and in some respects was
liable to solid objection. The Radical
bill passed by the House is very objec.
tionable in some features but in some
others is respectable. We have hope
that there are honest men enough in
both Houses to pass fair bill. To
frame one to which no valid objection
can be raised is simply impossible. If
population be solely regarded then COM
munity of interest and association will
suffer violence, and Uice uerSa. In any
bill apparent wrong must be done to
political majorities in some counties,
and in the arrangement of city wards
there is also much difficulty. Yet a
tolerably fair bill may be made.
We insist that if any districts must
have large fractions it should be those
that have one or more representatives +;
for these will at least be represented by
somebody and can easily make up the
difference by electing able men instead
of pet monkeys or stupid Doors who are
better fitted for outside occupations than
legislative positions.
Let all legislation stand still until II
fair apportionment is passed. The
public will not suffer for want of it.
