Legality of the Ku-Klux Trials.


It will be remembered that the pros
ecutions of the Ku Klux in South Car
olina were suddenly suspended few
weeks ago because of the disagree
ment of the Circuit Judge and the Dis
trict Judge sitting together for the trial
of these causes. The cases were there
fore certified mp to the Supreme Court
of the United States. The points up
on which the Court will be required TO
decide are as follows: First, as to
whether or not, under the Enforce
ment Law of May 81, 1871, persons
can be punished for committing a
crime defined under the laws of the
State; and second, as to whether or
not the right to bear arms is a right
guaranteed By the Constitution and
to be protected under the Enforcement
Act. This will substantially test the
validity of the act in question, and de.
eide whether criminals shall be pun
ished for violating this law the same
as those that are punished under the
State law. This important question
will be brought up in short time in
the Supreme Court. Attorney Gener
al Williams and General ,Bristow will
appear for the Government, and Rev
erdy johnson and Henry Stanbery for
the ku, klux.

declaring himself, as heretofore, in. ia,
vor of the nomination of President
Grant, for fe-electiOp. Mr.. Colfax
wo1ld not decline gnolnjnation for re-
election to the second Office, it the Re
pnblieans of the United States think
such a nomination for the best of the
country. There will undoubtedly be
no laGk"-of candidates for the Vice
Presidency, but we think if Grant is
to he renominated for the Presidency.
it would be the best policy to nomi-
nate Colfax for the Vice Presidency.
CoIfay, however, would. we think,
make tie hest candidate for the Presi-
dency. He is fully competent to the
dnties of the situation, and he has
had long experience in governmental
matters, aud understands the wants of
thelcountry;as we'll, probably, as any
man in the Government, and could
come Before the public with fewer
personsl enemies than any public man
in the ngtieB. -
