what They Mean by Reform.

We call attention to the conclusion
arrived at ia. the report Of the minority
Of the committee appointed to investi-
gate tie Kuklux outrages. This report
was signed by Frank p. Blair, 4. +.
Bayard, s. S. Cox, James b. Beck, P.
Van Tramp, A. NJ. Waddell, j. G.
Robinson, j. NJ, Hanks. Let it be re-
membercd that all these gentlemen are
warmly in favor Of Horace Greeley, and
are to: day among the nctive leaders in
the IS Liberal movement" From the
minority report We catch glimpse Of
the "reform" which the Democratic
party hope to inaugurate after the 4th
Of March, 1873. After admitting the
existence of the Kuklux Klans, and the
horrible outrages charged against them,
these " Liberar' statesmen aud devoted
disciples Of Horace Greeley indirectly
justify them by the following lan-
guage:
As we have just remarked, we do not
propose to discuss at large the question
Of negro government in these pages !;
but We feel that it would be derelic.
ton of duty on our part if, after what
We have witnessed in South Carolina,
VIC did not admonish the American
people that tho present condition of
things in the South can not last. 1t
was an oft-quoted political apothegm,
long prior to the war, that no govern
ment could exist i half slave and half
Free" The paraphrase Of that PROPOSE
ton is equally true, that no government
can long exist half black and half
white -.
"There can be neither sympathy nor
harmony in any polity where such an.
tagooism is attempted to be overcome
by law. Gods law is higher than
mans law. Mans fuuy statutes can
not repeal or nullify the immutable Or
dinances ofth Almighty. Those whom
God has separated let no man join to-
gether. There can be no permanent
partition of power, nor any peaceable
Joint exercise Of power, among such
discordant bodies Of men. One or the
other must have all or none. 1t is the
very acme Of folly and fanatics to
suppose, in this day Of enlightenm ent
and its consequent pride Of feeling
among tho superior race, that there
can be = reproduction Of ths ancient
fable Of tying the living and the dead
together without causing death to both.
Who would have dreamed, fifteen years
ago, what highest and most tar-seeing
intellect among the great men who es-
tablished this Government upon the
basis Of homogeneity Of race and color,
could have imagined that in the first
century of its existence African freed.
men, Of the lowest type of ignorance
and brutality, would rule sovereign
State of the Union, and be the arbiters
Of the rish's and property of a race who
have ruled the destinics Of nations ever
since government was known among
men? Such state of things may last
so long as the party shall last which had
the power and audncity to inauguratc it.
and no longer. But whenever that
party shall go down, as 90 down it will
at some time not long in the future,
that will be the end Of tho political
power Of the negro among white men
on this continent"

day contains an account of one of the
most horrible crimes which was ever
perpetratcd. The fend is Mrs
Lamb, and the scene the little village Of
Trimbelle, in Pierce county, Wisconsin,
nearly opposite the city Of Red Wing.
The story in brief, is as follows:
Chauncey s. Lamb, his second wife.
and two children, came to the place
above named about eight years ago, and
seemed to live happily for some time.
After which Mrs. Lamb, who is about
twenty years The junior Of her husband,
wanted to have part of the farm deed
cd to her, and Mr.. Lamb not consenting
to, this, considerable trouble resulted
To. satisfy her portion Of personal
property was given to her and the feud
was supposed at an end. On the 18th
day Of September, 1871, Mr.. Lamb
went out into the field after dinner, was
taken sick and died Immediately. In
May last the little boy, aged 13, was
called in from his play to eat some
bread and milk. Upon tasting. he said
it was bitter, and he did not want it,
The woman told him to eat it; that she
had put some medicine in it that would
do him good. He ate, and in an hour
was a corpse. On the Oath of last
June the list child, girl, was taken
suddenly sick and died. Sometime
after this Mrs. Lamb conceived strong
passion for the husband Of neighbor.

Of this mali died as suddenly as had Mr..
Lau,b and his children. Mrs. Lamb
then went to cook for the harvest hands
Of a Mr.. Garland, 4 man who was liv-
ing alone: On the 18th day of August
last, Mrs. Lamb had waited upon all
the men at the table, except Garland
when, noticing that he had no tea, she
said she had missed him, and went into
the pantry and from there took his cur
TO the stove and turned his tea. He
soon complained Of being in pain and
started TO 60 to the field but re.
turned and within one hour died in
great agony. Suspicion having noa

1 Word On ''Milit.ry Despot'

We commend the following table to
those who believe in the silly twaddle
retailed from the stump by Demo cratic
liberalites, that our government has
become military despotism, wherein
the rights of citizens are trampled uu-
der foot. We are: to-day, the most be-
nevolent, magnanimous. and charitable
nation on the face Of the of the earth.
The American citizen, who behaves
himself, enjoys, to the fullest extent,
personal liberty: There is invasion no
Of his rights by the government: Our
''liberal' friends confouud liberty With
license. Liberty is perfect freedom to
do right. License is the unrestraincd
privilege to do wrong. No honest,
law-abiding citizen complains Of the
rigors of the law. The complaint
comes from the miserable cut. threats of
the South, who think, under free gov
erumeat, they should have the right to
pillage, and burn, and murder at
their hearts content.
Not satisfied with their murderous
attempt to destroy the Union, they re-
pay the msgnanimity Of the government
which kept their necks from the halter,
by scourging and numbering the loyal
men who stood true to the party that
saved the Republic Because tho gov
ernmcnt reached forth its strong arm
and protected these prosecuted loyal
lists punished a few Of these outlaws,
and stopped their work Of butchery,
they and their friends send up the
howl of military despotism." The
present administration has been too
lenient. 1t gave the States of the
South fair opportunity to protect their
citizens. Instead Of granting protec-
ton it saw the Southern States encour-
aging these brutal outragss, until it
felt that longer forbearance would be
a positive crime. The result Of its
intervention has had a good effect.
The Ku Klux bands have been bro
ken up, the poor whites and blacks
breathe freer; they realize that free
dom and citizenship mean something
more than the right u be whipped or
shot 4; a feeling Of security has eakcn
the place Of the reign Of terror, and
tho better class Of citizens, who honest
" desire return Of peace and prosper
ity, feel some encouras ement in their
efforts to maintain law aud order in
their midst To, all who rebelled
against the government, who incurred
the peualty Of death, but who have
been pardoned By generous admins
tration, who have been the recipients
of n,agnanimity, such Us the world
never before witnessed, We commend
the following exhibit. Let it be borne
in mind that those who committed
treason against the French government
were comparatively few: in numbers,
mostly confined to Paris:

words Of an earnest report; honest con-
victio,s Of every Democratic member
On the committee. The policy fore
shadowcd in this extract is the policy
Of the Liberal party. The eight
Liheralites who signed this report are
not extremists, but fair representatives
Of the party to which they belong. We
desire to be- fair, to utter nothing in
malice against this desperate combina-
ton to defeat President Grant, but tho
open declarations of our opponents force
Us to believe that this liberal movement
If successful, will inaugurate reign Of
terror throug h"ut the South, such rs
the world never before witnessed
When eight conservative men. who
claim to be loyal and whom we know to
be intelligent, como 70 the conclusion
that the right Of citizenship, conferred
by the Constitution on the freedmen Of
the South, is nothing more than party
right, to be tolerated while certain
party is in power, anil no longer, what
can We expect of the thousands Of
ignorant and disloyal men who live on
violence, who believe the killing Of
negro to be divine right. who are res
trained in their acts Of cruelty by the
strong arm Of the law, and who see in
the defeat Of President Grant their op-
portun'ty to plumber, scourge, and muir.
der the unoffen!ing freedmen Of the
South? If the conclusions .eached by
the minority and published to the world,
after a careful investigation. after
months of deliberation is not an invita-
ton to begin the work Of determination
or subjusation, as soon as the Demo-
cratic party comes into power, we are no
judge Of language. tits the latest echo
Of the old shareholders cry. " A negro
has no rights which a white man is
bound to respect" The nation cannot
be deceived by the figurc-hcad Of Horace
Greeley. Back of him, and urging him
on:ard, are all the dangerous elements
which threaten our national existence.
His election would betray our Govern
ment into the hands Of its enemies, and
in all human probability, plunge our
Republic into another war more fierce
and destructive than the one which fol-
lowed the rebellion. The support Of
the Republican party is duty Of the
hour. Its triumph is the triumph Of
peace, Law, justice; its defeat, the prac-
teal reinstatement of labor and the
revival Of anarchy throughout the States
Of the South.
