A NoToRIoUs CLAIM REJEC TED
The interminable McGarrahan claim and
it's rival are both thrown out by Secre-
tary Delano, who decides that the valu-
able lands in question belong to the Unit
ed States. The petition Of McGarrahan
to have the so called mutilated record Of
his land patent restored, and also the pc
tition Of the New Idara Company for pa
tent to the same lands, were rejected.
The Secretary indorsed the opinion and
action Of Secretary Cox in regard to the
incompleteness Of the record. This act
ion is decisive in McGarrahan case, un-
less Congress steps in and grants him re-
lief The New Idara Company is left
free tc go on and attempt to perfect It's
title, under the mineral laws, to land
which it actually occupies.
Tue main point of the report of the
Ku-Kux Sub Committee which visited
South Carolina. will be as follows
l. That all the insurrectionary States,
and generally dilfuse6, though not found
in every county, Is an oath-bound, secret
organization, working only at night, and
its members always in disguise, with Off
GERS, signs, signals, passwords, and ali
necessary paraphernalia, with the pledged
and sworn purpose Of putting down the
Republican party and putting up the
Democratic party.
2. That this organization came into be-
ing few months previous to the last
Presidential election, during which can
vass it was in its most vigorous condition,
but is now, through all the South, with
more efficient discipline and effective di
rection than ever. revlving in preparation
for the next Presidential campaign.
8. That this Ku-Klux organization is
premeditated and determined scheme
to carry the South at the next election
of President, and so, by securing the en-
tire electoral vote of that section, make
sure Of the election Of the Democratic
nominee.
4. That officers and establishers, of
these ''dens,'' as they call the seperate
bands, are leading and active Democratic
politicians Of the South.
5. That the scheme has the hearty
good will Of a large section of the Demo
cratic party in all these States, and the
acquiescence Of nearly the entire party.
General John B Gordon, of Atlanta
Georgia, told the Ku Klux committee
that he believed a large proportion OF
the negroes would vote the Democratic
ticket but for carpet baggers and their
efforts to prejudice the blacks
10 which the Chicago Times responds;
VERY likely. Aud great many more
Of them would do the same thing If sou
thern democracy would promptly and
cheerrully accept the new departure, and
so assure the blacks that in voting the
democratic ticket they would not be vot-
ing for their own disfranchisement.
Exactly. How strange 1t is that the
blacks need to have their prejudices ex
cited to prevent them from voting their

this mode representing the subject, We

as anxious, perhaps, as during the day:
