Besides this large appropriation, a con-

are made? The establishment when

THE ELECTION.

The apprehension which was felt as to
the consequences of the reverses to the
Liberal cause in the October elections,
have been realized. They brought des-
pair to the hearts of the opposers of the
Grant Administration, who notwithstand-
ing the numbers they had displayed in
the early part of the canvass, took a
practical instead of a sentimental view
of the matter, and virtually retired from
contest in which they believed their
chances were hopeless. Under the de-
pressing influence of this belief hundreds
OF thousands of voters staid away from
the polls and took no part in an cleo
tion the statistics Of which will afford no
reliable proof of the extent of the oppo-
sition to the Grant Administration except
IN the States where elections were held
for their own officers The people were
not inclined to abandon their business
avocations and waste time in what they
had been led to believe would be the
mere form of veting without the hope of
attaining the practical results they most
desired.
Our confidence is mistaken that the
Liberal cause will triumph at an early
day. Its foundation is laid 1t is a
protest against despotism and declara-
ton for constitutional freedom. 1t is a
demand for reconciliation between the
two lately belligerent sections of com
mon country and between the two races
which inhabit it, 1t is a recognition of
the Interchangeable past and oblivion of its
litter memories. 1t is designed to meet
the exigencies which exhausting war and
prolonged strife, and usurpation of power
and oppressive taxation-have produced
In its infancy it has had to encounter

a Voice from Grants EsasaiIe.

The following letter written by one of
the victims of Radical vengeance, a citi-
zen of North Carolina now imprisoned
in the New York Penitentiary, will be
read with mingled emotions of sorrow
and Indignation. 1t is designed to cor
rect falsehood which tools of the Adj
ministration circulated for partisan effect
pending the Presidential election. The
facts which relate to the author will
awaken concern; and also those which
relate to his fellow-sutferers, some of
whom are described as ''gray-haired men
men of sixty years and upwards who are
the victims of malicious prosecution,
corrupt courts, and pepured witnesses.
1t will be seen that Mr. Shotwell does not
conceal the fact that he was member Of
the Ku KIux Khan but denies that It
was a conspiracy against the Government
or the rights of any class Of citizens
whatever. His treatment by the Radi-
cal authorities has been very different
from their treatment Of the GRAND
CYCLoPs in Mississippi, who SO far from
having been sent to Northern Bastile,
was rewarded by them with the appoint
ment of Superintendent of the Lunatic
Asylum

The Peabody Educational Fund.
"Pluadered By the Carpet Baggers. "

We have had on our table for some
time the report of the proceedings at the
last annual meeting of the Trustees of
this Fund. 1t is now inserted in another
column. The condition of the Fund is
explained. 1t will not astonish the reader
to learn that part of it has been plum
dered By the earpet-baggers. What is it,
sacred or profane, that the harpies have
not appropriated to their uses, which
they have been able to lay their hands
upon? Even this fund contributed for
the education of the destitute children of
the country, has not escaped their keen
and vigilant rapac;ty.
The condition of the Fund, as TO Mis-
sissippi, is explained. A portion of it
has been paid over to her selfappointed
authorities but what has become of it
Echo answers, where A committee has
been appointed to decide what measures
are necessary to recover the Bonds Of the
State issued on account Of the Planters
Bank The committee will ascertain
that there are no funds in the Treasury
with which to pay them that the out
standing warrants issued to pay the ex-
penses of the Carpet-baggers rule amount
to upwards of two millions of dollars I'M
der an exorbitant and grinding taxation
and while this condition of affairs con-
tinue, there is no prospect that the States
excheque will be replenished. The Bonds
were issued forty years ago. A new order
Of things has been established, and the
people, bankrupt and plundered, might
well hesitate to pay them. Especially
will they be reluctant to do so, under the
existing regime of the adventures when
there is moral certainty that the fund
as soon rs raised by taxation, will find
its way into the over-gorged maws of the
blo0d-suckers

Outrageous and E4ayIesS 40. al
League Proceeding

I
During the night preceding the elec
| ton day, number of negroes assembled
at a notorious Loyal League Den, known
as Spring HIP or Spring Ridge" near
Stems Greek box in Rankin county and
conducted themselves in most turbu-
lent and disorderly manner. Early in
the night they commenced hideous up
roar, by firing vollies of musketry, drum
beating and other warlike demonstra-
lions, which were kept up until morning.
The uproar could be heard distinctly
from TO 10 miles. The whole country
around was startled by the terrific noise,
The proceeding could have but one OBJ
ject. 1t was to intimidate colored per-
sons from voting the Liberal Ticket, and
to present to the peaceable and law-abid-
ing whites the alternative of staying
away from the polls or mourning the risk
of bloody riot. 1t was lawless. dia-
bolical attempt at browbeating aud in
timidation, violative of tie right of free
election, subversive of order and
provocative of bloodshed. There
was no other motive at the bot
tom of the affair 1t could not have
originated in belief that warlike dis
play was necessary for the protection Of
those who preferred to vote the Radical
ticket. The colored Liberals Of whom
they are a number in the beat had pur-
sued the even tenor of their way without
seeking to modest those of their race who
did not agree with them in opinion
And the conduct and temper of the
whites had been altogether kind and con-
ciliatory towards the Leaguers. Even
under the provocation of this browbeat-
ing and offensive demonstration, they
We're commercially forbearing and pa
tient. But it is natural that they should
be indignant at what was palpably law
defying attempt to organize a system of
terrorism to influence the election at the
hazard of serious consequences to all
classes of the community.
We have called attention to this riot
Gus proceeding of which we have person
al cognizance, to say that it ought not to
be repeated. The authorities Of Rankin
county should take steps to guard against
its repetition. The ring-leaders, some
Of whom are known to have INDUCED in
threats of a fiendish kind before the cleo
ton, should be warned Of the conse-
quences. Possibly they are ignorant
and need instruction as their deluded fol-
lowers certainly do. The way to pre-
serve order in a community is for the
legal authorities to suppress lawlessness.
When people who desire peace have as
surance of protection from that quarter,
there is no danger OF an attempt ON their
part to take the defence of their rights in
their own hands. In the matter Of this
Spring I idge' proceeding, suppose the
case had been reversed-suppose the
white men of the neighborhdod had as
sembled at the polling place and kept up
roar of musketry with other signs of
bloody intent the night before the elec-
tion-what construction would have been
placed on their action? 1t would have
been said at once that it was designed to
strike terror to the minds of the blacks
and to keep them away from the polls.
