"A western writer gives tas his belief
that If as much attention we're paid to

The democrats of the District of ca.

= The speech of Jeffer son Davis a,
Selma aroused even the ire of the Chica

nonsense" The Mobile Register then en-.
tiers the lists. and while it backs up Davis
assails the Times for ignoring the sound
Democratic doctrine presented by the
head Of the late Coafsderscy.

Senator EdnlInds.

Senator Edmunds of this State closed
the debate on the Ku-Klux bill in the
Senate in an able and powerful speech
The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Advertiser thus speaks of this
discussion:
Senator Edmunds closed the debate
ina speech of nearly three hours length.
1t was one o'clock when hearose, and he
was greeted by larger audience than
had looked down from the galleries since
MIR. Sumner arraigned the President for
his interference with Hayti. *
he spoke without notes, and in rapid
impetuous manner which indicated his
mastery of the subject and thorough
confidence in his own powers. By far
the greater portion of his speech was de-
voted to the legal aspects of the ques-
ton. He had no light task to overthrow
antagonists like Thurman among the
democrats and Trumbull among the re-
publicans. He boldly charged that the
speeches from the democratic side were
likely to afford great encouragement to
the ku-klux, that they discovered
spirit OF sympathy with the motives
which inspired thai murderous band
Again and again he repeated the charge
each time more pointedly, and challeng-
ed a denial. Mr. Casserly attempted a
defence. Mr. Casserly is an Irishman
by birth, but Scotchman in the intense.
ly literal turn Of his mind. He could
not see, or professed that he could not
how the spirit Of his speech could afford
the ku-klux any sympathy, unless he
openly avowed that sympathy. Edmunds
replied that he had charged that the
democrats were in sympathy with the
ku-knx in their opposition to negro suf.
frage; he had given them three oppor-
tunities to deny it, and it remained un-
denied and undeniable. Mr.. Blair next
interfered, but found the Vermonter
very different antagonist from the mild
hammered Mr.. Pool. 1t was superb
intellectual treat. The speaker conclud-
ed his speech by predicting the support
OF the people for the party which pro-
tected the American citizens in all parts
OF the country; and when he sat down
there was moments silence followed
by an audible and simultaneous relaxa-
ton all over the house-a tribute to a
speakers power more significant than
the loudest applause"

Washington Election.

A BRILLIANT REPUBLICAN VICTORY.
The first territorial election for the
District of Columbia was held on Thurs.
day of last week, and resulted in an I'M
.expectedly brilliant triumph Cor the re-
publicans. 1t was generally supposed
the contest would be close, and the DEM
ocrats were confident of victory, but
the republican ticket was elected by 40S7
majority for delegate to congress and
over 5000 on the assembly. The Wash
ingtop Of today is not much like that of
fifteen years ago.

The horrible details of the doings Of
the ku-klux assassins still continue to
come to hand, but it is thought their plan
is to bemore quiet during the summer and
resume their compaign in the fall, and
create a terrorism throughout the South
that will prevent the republicans from
voting, and thus throw every Southern
State into their hands for use in the pres
idential election next year. They nc
doubt mean revolution as to all the work
of reconstruction, and as in 1S60-61 are
looking to the democrats of the north
for aid and comfort.

Judge Poland of this district is tn,

The KU-KLUXr IN ALABAMA lead
ing minister of the Methodist church in
| Alabama writes to member of Con.
gress from that State that, having Just
completed his second round of quarterly
meetings in his district, he is fully pei.
suaded that he cannot prosecute mis- min,
| lsterial labors in that State and escape
assassination. He has been obliged to
hide in private places, travel unfrequent
ed roads and bridle-paths, and to be
guarded at nights to avoid death or tor.
tnre by the ku-klux. His people have
become alarmed for him, and he has
therefore determined to leave the State
He says that the feeling of bitterness and

ing of insecurity and uneasiness among
loyal men before. He has no confidence
in knk)ux bill. There is deep-seated
widespread, villainous purpose in the
South to revolutionize the government,
and unless heavy hand is laid upon
the outlaws, he thinks that the ku-klux
will get possession of States, as they have
of counties. He says that two of his
presiding elders have been driven from
their districts two white preachers have
been brutality whipped and driven from
their work one colored preacher and
his son have been shot and killed; one
has been beaten, and both his arms have
been broken, one of them in two places !;
and one white local preacher has been
shot in his own house, and killed. The
Jealousy with which the British govern.
ment guards the person and property Of
its subjects is we'll illustrated in the re-
cent action of Minister Thornton. A
paragraph appeared in the Washington
correspondence of New York D per
few days ago, announcing that an En-
glish school teacher had been whipped
in Alabama, and that Mr.. Buckley had
received the full particulars. An Eng
lish family in Jersey city, member of
which was teaching in Alabama, imme-
diately telegraphed to Minister Thornton
in regard to the matter, and he was on
the floor of the House the same day as
soon as Congress met, inquiring in re-
gard to the matter. He then designated
some one in Alabama to investigate the
matter, and will now bring the matter
before our authorities for redress.

MURDER OF A MAN AND HIS WIFE.

MURDER OF A MAN AND HIS WIFE,
On Sunday night 10th inst, in Chester
field County, S. G. a party of disguised
men rode to the house Of Mr.. Robert
Melton, an elderly Union man of South.
ern birth, living on his little farm near
Old Store, and called for him to come
out. When he appeared at the door &C.
companied by his wife and daughter, all
three were Immediately shot. The wife
was instantly killed, and Mr. Melton was
fatally and his daughter dangerously
wounded. Mr.. Melton was collector
of delinquent taxes.
Another letter from that State to the
Tribune incloses an extract from a pa
per printed in one of the upper counties
of South Carolina, describing the reca n
tation of Republicanism, from the Court
House steps by an old and respectfully
appearing man. The writer, who, in
company with United States army of
ficer whom he names, had an interview
with the old man, who showed them his
SCARED back and assured them that, on
his knees and under the lash, he was told
that unless he made the recantation on
the next sale day he would be killed on
sale day night. The writer adds that
the man was SO years old, has been for
43 years member in good standing of
the M. Z. Church. He had two sons
killed in the Confederate army and ar
other disabled for life. The letter con-
tains the names of the persons alluded
to, but the author says that were these
given, the report might be traced to him
and he would be the next victim. These
forced renunciations of Republicanism
have become very common of late in the
northern counties of South Carolina.
