Some curious information relative TO the en-
ploymcnt of convict labor in the South is
given hy Special Correspondent of The
TRIBUNE, whose letter is printed on another
page The writer furnishes full review
of the present condition of the railroad
system of Alabama, in which State, it seems,
the contractors employ convicts at rates which
are found profitable. The practice of leasing
this class of PERSONS is open TO very grave
objections, and one would hardly expect to find
it in vogue in Southern State.

REpERDY JOHNSON ON THE KU-KLUK

REVERDY JOHNSON ON THE KU-RLUK.
We believe the Democratic papers, which
deny that any Ku-Klux Outrages have occurred
in the South or that any necessity exists Tor
the interference of the Federal authorities in
preserving the peace in that part of the coun-
try, have not generally published the speech
of Mr. Reverdy johnson at the Ku-Klux trials
in Columbia. Mr.. johnson ia witness whom
they cannot refuse to accept. He is not only
conservative in politics, but on the OCCASION
when this speech was made he was acting as
counsel for tho Ku-Klux prisoners. If it had
been possible for an honest and reasonable
man to listen to tho disclosures made In that
courtroom, and then pronounce the stories OF
outrage false OF grossly exaggerated, we may
be sure that Mr.. Reverdy Johnson would have
done 80. But this is what the prisoners coin-
sci said:
"I have listened with horror to OF the testimony
which has been brought before The ourages proved
have shocking TO humanity; they admit neher 0f
justification excuse: they violate every obligation
which law and nature impose upon men, These men ap
