valmnscda's Barbarity-Tho Most AtrociOas
Crimo of tho Age.
Nothing has occurred in modern times and
among what are called civilized people so
atrocious as the shooting of the eight young
students at Havana for having violated, or, as
the telegraphic despatch says, for having de-
molished the grave Of Gonzalo Castahon.
Let the volunteers Of Cuba call this act of the
students crime if they will, and claim that it
had political significance, which few will be
disposed to admit; yet no one will pretend to
say that the offence was capital one or called
for such an extreme penalty. The execution of
these young men was simply murder-murder
most cruel and revolving. There was nothing
but savage vengeance in the bloody deed.
There was no regard for law, JUS
tice or the opinion of the civilized
world. Such an act committed by savage
or semi-civilized people would be execrated
from one end of Christendom to the other, and
the perpetrators would, in all probability, be
severely punished by one or more Of the Chris
tian nations. Such brutal inhumanity is not
tolerated wherever and by whomsoever COM
mitted, except in Cuba and by the bloodthirsty
volunteers. These wretches and the Infamous
which has possession of Cuba now are per-
mitted to do what savages would not without
punishment. The government of Spain-yes,
the so-called liberal government of King ANA
deus-is equally guilty in permitting these
atrocities. This bloody outrage is, too, but
one Of many like it that are being per-
petrated continually in Cuba under the
government Of the volun-
teers. Neither these volunteers, und er
the butcher Valmaseda, nor the gov
ernment of Spain, care about the tame and
formal protests of the United States. They
laugh at them, make some sort of lame ex-
PLANTATION or apology, and then 60 on to repeat
similar atrocities. What Is the mysterious in
fuence at Washington that makes our govern
ment 80 blind to the horrible state Of things in
Cuba and so tender towards the cruel and
treacherous government Of Spain The very
tone of the correspondence from Washington to
the press on this subject Of the brutal murder of
the students shows that there is either bale
full influence at work or that the ad dministra-
ton is disgracefully timid. Such crime
against humanity and the civilization Of the
age, right on our border and among an
American population, ought to arouse the in
dignation Of the people and government Of
this republic. The Spanish government in
Madrid received the news of the executions
yesterday. The capital was profoundly
moved by the intelligence. A Cabinet Council
was convened Immediately and the Ministers
engaged in the preparation Of dispatches for
Havana. The Meme steamship, which was to
have sailed from Cadz for the Antilles, was
detained for twenty-four hours by executive
order. Amadeus is called to treat matter of
the most sad interest.

not that late terrible, despotic and ravenous
Tammany Ring broken up-that awful Ring,
with its cave of the ''forty thieves" lined
with sacks OF gold and bales of greenbacks
and boxes of diamonds-that imperial Ring,
which could buy Legislatures when it failed
to elect them, which distributed its charities
by thousands of dollars, including turkeys
by the CARLOAD, while stealing the public
money by millions? Have we not occasion
to be thankful that the Ring thieves have been
expelled from their cave that the door of the
cave is locked against them, and that Mr..
Green has the keyp Are we not justified in
an extra turkey, with something extra to wash
it down, with the prospect of the good time
coming under new city charter, which will
enable us to live at reduction of ten per cent
on the costs of the Tammany regine with its
diamond weddings and Amercus Clubs2 Oh,
there is nothing to compare with the delicious
JUNCTION of this New York Thanksgiving un-
less it is the swelling satisfaction of King Vic
tor Emmanuel over his Italian Parliament, at
last established in Rome.
Finally, while New York may rejoice ex-
ceedingly in the downfall of the Tammany
Ring, may not the whole country be thankful
for the glorious prospect before us of still an
other new departure by the democracy on
the Presidential platform of Horace Greeley
and free trade? Well, we live in an age Of
miracles, and so we drop the subject, wishing
to our vast constituency of readers, each and
all, plentiful supply of roast turkey for the
family circle and some for the destitute neigh
bor or stranger at the gate, that he, too, may
join in the general thanksgiving.

The Sumter News.

This paper, which opposed the late
Reform Party, and is now opposing the
''Ncw Departure, which amounts to
the same thing-still harps upon the i'm
practicable. AS a vehicle of news, the
paper is very good, but as far as politics
arc concerned, it is unsound, in our
Judgment. Alexander Stephens is its
present 'boss," and hence, it is likely to
remain, with him, in state Of Rip Van
Winkleism for some time to- come.

The Iku HIux Law.

The late Operations Of the Ku Klux'
in this State, falsely so-called, are about
to.Lc visited upon the innocent as well
as the guilty, by inaugurating martial
law-at least, such is tho opinion enter
taincd by the Republican press. This
is to be done upon the supposition and
argument that we, the whites, could sup
press these infractions of the public peace
if we were so minded. If these murders
are committed by such 'Ku Klux" as
were tried before Judge Ryan in the
United States Court at Greenville, one
of whom was a negro, and the others
such whites as arc scarcely recognized
by whites or blacks, then where goes the
Radical argument of winning over to
their ranks those upon whom they en-
deavor to make believe that they have
been ground under the of the So
called "aristocracy?' This is what the
daily Union was thinking of when it said,
speaking of the kind of United States
Marshal We ought to have, "such an one
we must have IA courageous many if it
breaks every political slate in the State. !"
Strange to say, however, all of the Ku
Klux were acquitted except the negro.
How quiet have the Radical press been
upon this point. No report of the fact
has found its way into it, andwhile great,
high-sounding, swelling words are used
about its being the duty of the National
Government to protect the lives and pro-
perty of it's citizens, the onl ly tangible
case of Ku Kluxism is hushed into 81

Why is it that no more arrests are made
Of Ku Klux? Because the county Off
cia1s are, in most instances, Republicans,
and afraid to do their duty. No effort
is made to secure the arrest of the otten-
ders, because it suits the Radical polti-
clans better to have it laid to the door OF

The Spirit Of compromise.

This is the age of compromises. The
war spirit and its attendant bitterness,
has i'll great measure passed away. Men
Of all political creeds see the folly of
pursuing All extreme course of action !;
the many grave and serious changes and
cpunI exchanges made by and against
each Other. arc found to be of TO advan-
tage to either, and hence there is an cvi-
dert disposition to leave these old grounds
of combat, and fight the next battleupon
new tnd living issues. The question now
las resolved itself into one of self-prc-
servation, and all men feel the absolute
necessity of combining to overthrow the
corruption which every where prevails.
Upon this point, All are. agreed, that a
necessity exists to end, if possible, the
widespread system of plumber going on
at every hand How shall this be done? :?
Will it be done by suffering the Repub-
lican party to put in office menof their
own selection ? Unquestionably not
Experience of their officials forbid the
assumption. On the other hand, it is
useless to suppose that the Democratic
party can elect ther men, because the
majority against us is too large to be
overcome. Shall We then accept any
honorable basis of compromise which the
Republicans offer us. Or shall we, los
ing sight of our own State, and the ben
efts TO be derived from such compromise
as is above suggested, adopt the Nation
al Democratic platform when it shall be
declared, and fight it out, relying upon
thu overwhelming evidence against Grant
as an incompetent and corrupt President,
for a National victory?
1t is absurd to think that VIC can again
90 before the colored people and offer
them such terms as we did in the last
campaign, for our overtrwes being then
ANONYMOUSLY rejected, we would sacri-
flee every principle of honor, to repeat
the offer. All propositions looking to
our corporation, must conc from them.
Tue complete blin!iag of the great mass
Of them, by their leaders, is not at all
surprisingy as we have before shown, but
of late some hopes have been entertained
Ly us, that light was breaking in upou
their hitherto darkened minds. They
have it in their power to do themselves
and rs lasting good. They have prac-
tical evidence of how they arc treated
and iLeir rights respected by Democrat
ic officials, in this and other towns and
cities in this State, and they will find
that the saint will be the case if Demo
cratic rulers arc elected to fill the State
offices. It is left to them to II: axe the
oyertures, to seek our aid, and We look
to the moro intelligent among them to

PLEASANT AFFAR-Last Saturday a.
ternoon very pleasant affair occurred in
Mr.. PollOck's office, on Main street. 1t is
known to many of our citizens that Mr..
P. is extensively engaged in the manu-.
facture OF stogies. Shortly after having
paid his employees at the time mentioned,
they entered the establishment in q body,
when one of their number, William Riley,
stepped forward and presented Mr.. p.
q splendid ebony, gold.headed cane,
The remarks OF Mr.. Il. were appropriate.
The affair had been so cfectually kept
concealed from Mr.. z. that he was taken
completely by surprise, and Tor a moment
hewas non. plussed But he soon regained
his usual equanimity, and replied in brief
and exceedingly happy terms. Alto
geIher The occasion was q pleasant one,
showing that the relations between the
employer and employee may not only be
of the most cordial character, but also
mutually beneficial.
