The KU-KLUx BILL M1sUNDER-
sTooD.-In a speech at Cincinnati on
Wednesday of last week Gen.. J. D.
Cox, who was recently Secretary Of
the Interior, said that an army Of
one hundred thousand soldiers would
not be sufficient to put in force the
Ku-Klux bill which has just passed
the House of Representatives. Gen.
Cox thinks tits impossible to restore
peace and quiet at the South by an
amount of military force, so long as
measures are agitated in Congress
and discussed in the press which are
calculated to qirritate the Southern
people and make them discontented
and restless. r,,,
Gen. Cox misapprehends the real
nature Of the Ku-Klux bill. Its ss-
,sential design is not to restore peace
and quiet at the South, and to allay
discomfort and disorder. This is only
an Incidental and comparatively un-
important part of the business. The
first purposerof suspending civil law
in that part Of the country and send
ing down soldiers is to force the Re
publicans of those States to appoint
delegates to the approaching National
Convention. of that party who will
be In favor of the denomination of
Grant. y Next, the elections there are
toybe controlled by military. means,
soithat the electoral votes of those
States WILDE secured for Grant, what
ever may be the wishes of the MAJOR
ity of the citizens. To carry out
these designs, Gen. Cox can very well
