The World in its reckless attempts to dl
vert the attention of the public from the
wholesale robberies3 by Tammany with
which it has beer in league very recently,
makes the statement that President Grant
proclaimed the suspension of the ha5eas cor.
pas in the troubled sections of South Caro-
LIMA at the instance of Gov. Scott for the pur-
poss of screening that official from the Just in
dignation of the people for his connection
with the alleged financial irreg ularities in
that State. The World does not attempt to
give any reason for this action except til at
Gov. Scott is radical and the President is
willing to secure his escape from h is misdeeds
II he has such. 1t is hardly fair for the World
to Judge honest men by what has been its
Its own policy in reference to scoundrels in
Its own party. But the single fact that Gov.
scott was opposed to having the proclamation
made by the President, which is a matter OF
record, overthrows this fabrication of the
World. What next?

The NEXT PREsIDENCY.-Ina an article pub.
lished some days since, the Boston advertiser
made some general reference to the qualifca.
tions that should be sought in an individual
WHO'S elected to the Presidency. This was
caught up by the opposition TO President Grant
| and interpreted to mean hostility to his re-
nomination. This was particularly the case
with the Springfield Republican-one of the
first to espouse the policy of Ex-President
johnson and, it may be added, shows many
indications that it has come out of the slough
very reluctantly, il indeed it is really on dry
ground again. Unwilling that such an opin-
ion should obtain any credence, the Advertiser
OF Wednesday, in the course of long article
on the subject, says:
With regard to the Presidency we make no
question that there is opposition to the Pres

AGAIN the Democratic press appears as the
special apologists and valient defenders of the
Southern Ku-Klux by denouncing the efforts
of the President to secure peaceful citizens
the rights of life and liberty and making it
appear that the federal officers are barbarous
even beyond their wont in exercising their
vengeance upon peaceful people. But this
time the profuse denials of their Northern
apologists are too hasty, ant. The Ku-KIux of
York county, S. c., by scores are swift wit
nesses against them. The Ku Klux confess
that the organization, extends through the en-
tire South; that its purpose is rid the country
OF Republicans by inaugurating everywhere a
reign of terror. These members of the Klux
confess to knowledge of murders, whip
pings and barbarities in great numbers. Yhe
constitution of the league has been discovered
and was recently published in full in the New
York Evening Post, in which it is plainly evil
dent that the purpose of the organization is
to secure by wide spread terror, produced by
masked assassns a revolution in all
the reconstructed States, securing little less
than was lost in the overthrow of the 'slost
cause" Perhaps this is the "newest depar-

The DOUBLE BABE.-The Mount Gilead
Register has this about the Okio double babe:
The double headed, triple limbed, quadru-

standing reports to the contrary. Learned
physicians and surgeons who have visited
this wonderful freak of nature claim that it
will eventually walk, and that its prospects
for living are as favorable as any child of
the same age. We had the pleasure of see
ing this child (or these children) on Tuesday
of last week. The features of one are more
than ordinarily handsome, the other ordina-
rily good looking, and both are very intelli-
gent. When we entered the house one end
of it (the child) was crying Justify, and the
limb belonging TO it was kicking around
quite lively, while the other end was sleep-
ing souadIy. IN a short time both ends
were sleeping. and in a few moments later
both ends we're awake"

"As SOON as possible after the holiday recess
an effort will be made i'll Congress to add TWO
more States to the Union. The candidates for
sovereignty are Colorado and New Moxico,
both of which Territories claim to contain the
constitutional quota of inhabitants needed to
entitle them to the privileges and dignities OF
States"
The above extract is taken from a leading
radical paper published in Philadelphia
When q man talks about the constitutional
quota of Inhabitants" which are necessary
to entitle Territory to admission into the
Union as a State, he is simply uttering
objectionable nonsense. The constitution,
while it explicitly confers on Congress the
power to admit States into the Union, does
not contain any provision whatever in refer
ence to the number of inhabitants of the pro-
posed new State There is neither consti-
tutional or a congressional requirement on
the subject, which rests entirely on the mere
whim or caprice of Congress.
In report, or speech, we forget which,
of Stephen A. Douglas, when he was chair
man of the Committee on Territories in the
Senate, he maintained the proposition. that
no Territory ought to be admitted as State
until it had inhabitants enough to eDtitle it.
under the then existing ratio, to one mem
ber of Congress. This was an approach to-
wards justice and fair dealing to the older
and larger States Of the Union, but 1t did not
60 far enough. The practice Of investing
sparsely populated Territory with all the
power and dignity of sovereign State, and
confsrring upon it equal political weight in
the Senate with New York or Pennsylvania.
is purely stretch of arbitrary power and
an outrage of the most fragrant character.
The present ratio of congressional repre-
sentation, under the census of 1860, is fixed
at 12G 1928 inhabitants. This ratio will be
very materially Increased under the census
which has been taken for 1870. In 1868,
as we took occasion short time since to
show, Colorado polled 8,l67 votes, which
would give her population of about fJty
Mousand-a little more than one third Of the
number of inhabitants required TO elect a
poled 14.469 votes, showing her population
then to be about eighty sic thousand. or tico-
thirds of the present congressional ratio
These figures, however. will be of DO avail
with a radical Congress against ihe erection
Of both these Territories into States. Rad-
calism is on the wane. growing small by de-
grses and beautifully less, and there exists a
political necessity for increasing its power in
the Senate. We look for the job, unholy as
it is, to be put through, and with it, per-
haps, the admission of Grants modern Par
adise, San Domingo. 1t would be nothing
more than even-handed justice TO require a
tsoo third vote of Congress In order to admit
a new State But that would not suit the
crooked ways of the mischieycus spirit OF
radicalism.
