Ku L o

That is what philadelphia manu-
facturers call the struggle of the pro-
scribed. 1t was against the efforts OF
the wealth and intelligence, the white
people of the South to save themselves
from the bligbting rule of carpet bag
gers and ignorance that President
Grant Illuminated his proclamation OF
last week. The Charleston News, re-
ferring to the early efforts Of the he
publican press to intiame the public
mind and thereby blind it to the real
issues involved in the next PreSlden-
tial campaign, says that while most OF
the Radical newspapers of the North
Join i'll the wild and indiScriminate u
and crv against the southern commu-
mites on account of the real or tancied
enormities of the foolish d~esperadoes
of the ku kluN Khan, it is glad to see
that there are some journals at least,
even in the ranks of our political OPP
ponents, which have the good sense to
see the condition of affairs at the
I South in the true light. and the man
illness to say what they think. The
dignifed and scholarly Nation, Ger
tainly the best exponent of the views
of the sober, thinking and educated
/ class of the Northern Radicals, II q
late issue, speaks as follows:
In South Carolina things grow no
better. GOV. Scott. in asking for as
Si,tance. saws the ku kluN have a

'gobbled up This is all horrible,
! but we have no hesitation III saying
that il IS the not unnatural consequence
of the c~aricature on government which
has been kept mp i'll that state for the
last four years. Nothing can wei!
Justify mob law, but when a civilized
community finds itself subjected to
the rule of its most ignorant members
aided or managed by knavish adven-
turer~. all rational men know that

extends, we haveas pure and incorrupt-
ible a Judiciary as any State or country,
aud in our county ami city govern
u;ents we have heard no complaint OF
late against Sherifs, police or peace
officers. Under such circumstances
we are at a loss to account for the re-
cent outrage against the law perpe-
trated in Virginia City by an armed
body of men calling themselves a
Vigilance Committee. The necessity
for a resort to such means to punish
criminals in communities where law
does not exist must be deplored under
the most aggravated circumstances

laws are as strictly enforced and GRIM
inals as speedily brought TO justice as

resources OF mineral wealth that can
not be developed without the aid O
foreign capital, and it IS an old maxim
that capital Is alwavstimid. Men rlsi

vestment for their surplus capital VII
invest in countries where law and or
