Ku IkIux Outrages and Negro mobs 1n the
South.

SOutn.
The very virtuous radicals of the Con-
greseional Committee who are pretending
to investigate the alleged Ku Klux out
RACES in the South. are ready,i appears, to
report ttupendous budget of horrors
They are already issueing semi-official
statements to that effect. True, they have
not had much time to investigate the mat
ter but party and political necessity ur-
ges an early, thrilling report against those
viliainous, incurable white secesh OF
the South and in favor of the poor ne
groes. This is evident from the
hasty action Of the committee of
the republican party in Washington,
which has already put in circulation Q
campaign document, which is digest of
the pretended facts brought to light by the
Congressional Investigation committee, and
has requested the Republican newspapers
to serve their cause by publishing the
document in full. We see, then, what q
farce, and, at the same time what gross
imposition upon the country, this Radical
Ku-Klux report of the Congressional COM
mittee is likely to be. But il is not play
ing with fire ? Is not such @ one-sided
infammatory report made for party pur-
poses calculated to do much harm Will
it not make the negroes, who are already
! in the ascendency In some parts OF the
| South, and who are committing most dia-
bolical acts, more presumptuous and dis
orderly Who has not heard Of the afro
cities of band of negroes in Chatham
county and adjoining counties in North
Carolina ? And yesterday we reported
fearful, bloody and drunken triot by
body of five thousand blacks at the
Republican Convention in Goldsboro, in
the same State. Of course these horrors
will scarcely be noticed by any radical
Congressional committee. because they are
perpetrated by the "poor negroes"-by
the allies and supporters of the Radical
party. It is the pretended white Ku Klux
that is made the bugbear to alarm North
ern voters and TO give the administration
a chance to exercise q military despo-
tism in the South. The radical car-
pet-bag and scaawag public men
and among them was Con-
gressman by the name of Thomas-and
Stanley, the President of q railroad, seem
to have been the abettors of the riotouf
negroes at Goldsboro'. Well may we de-
spair of peace in the South while the
party in power makes misrepresentation
of the state of things in the South for po
liticaI objects, while it gives all its sup
port and sympathy to the negroes and
endeavors to crush the native white people
of that section.-N. Y. Herald.
