WHO HAS CHANGED?

When President Grant transmitted his
annual message in December, 1870, the
New York Tribune thus commented on it :
"Many will be surprised at the Presidents
hearty endorsement of civil service reform,
but he has been there all along. The Presi-
dents summing up of the leading objects of
his policy, and especially his desire to secure
a pure and untrammelled ballot must ap-
peal cogently to the Judgment and affections
Of the American people. He Is Abraham
Lincoln's lineal successor, and the popular
heart beats in unison with his aspirations
and his efforts"
At this time, Gen. Grant had served as
President for nearly two years. The
character, spirit and tendencies of his Adj
were well established. Its
great, solid merits were already clear.
If it had any faults, they also were fully
apparent. II his appointment of q few
relatives to office was high crime
overshadowing all the benefits Of his
work, it had already been perpetrated.
If his employment of one or two of his
own faithful army staff officers to assist
him at the White House was the overthrow
of civil rule by military despotism, it had
already been consummated. If his diff
ference with such men rs Gratz Brown
and Carl SchurZ was an objectionable
offence, it had already been committed.

FOR GOVERNOR.
SIDNEY PERHAM.
FIRST FRUITS OF GREELEYlSM

-
The outrage upon Judge Settle at re-
publican meeting in North Carolina by
the Ku-klux is one of the first fruits of
the Greeley movement. Judge Settle was
President of the Philadelphia Convention
and is candidate for Congress. He is
dignifed, courteous and honorable gentle
man, the last to provoke unkindness of
any sort. During his speech, however.
the friends of Mr. Greeley assailed him,
commencing with interruptions and cpl
thets and proceeding TO the throwing of
rotten eggs and missiles and ending in a
fierce mob of large proportions.
This Ku-Klux element. which performs
such rufianly deeds as the above, is the
class to which Mr.. Greeley in his summer
set extends the hand of peace and fellow.
ship. and would inevitably be ruled by
could he be elected President The re-
port Of the doings of the Ku- Klux Klans
as made by the Congressional Committee
fill thirteen volumes and eight thousand
pages. One who has examined them
says: .'These volumes contain the records
''of deprayity which happily for human
lily has seldom been equalled in sivil-
''ized country. The cruelties Of the Span
''ish Conquerors to the Aztecs, the atroci-
tiles of the Roman conquerors and pro-
.'consuls, the prosecutions of the Duke OF
''Alva in the Low countries, the tortures
''of the Inqnisitions, the warfare OF the
North american sayages, may be
searched in vain for anything more hor
''rible than the practice Of intelligent, ed
''ucated men, many of them of high so
'cial position in the Southern States"
II the encouragement which these ruff
ans hare received by the Greeley move
ment is safient to inspire them to mol
public noetings, to what lengths Of wick
edness would they not go with the gov
eminent under their control? The effec
of Greeleyfsm is not doubtful. Mr.. Gree
ley may say he is ready to stretch his hant
across the bloody chasm of the past, bu
if he were President another chasm nigh
yawn before us bloodier. deeper ant
broader than the one closed by the victo.
ries of Grant.
One of the features OF Greeleyism is
that it takes to excusng such acts of yio-
lence as this in North Carolina A year
ago the Tribune denounced the Ku-Klux
bravely, and demanded protection for the
whites and blacks exposed to their ont
RACES. Now this is changed; the Tribune
mildly passes over the mobbing of repub-
licans and endeavors to make it appear a
Misrepresentation.
