The Ku.KluX Laws.
Carl Schur7 at st. Louis on Ku- Kiux and
Election Laws.

EiectISh Laws.
"Study attentively the bayonct law, the
ku-Klux law, as theynow present themselves
in retrospective view.
What was the character Of those laws, what
their effect, and what the secret aim of some
of the master spirits who designed them :?
Not only did they, while protesting the rights
OF some, break down the bulwarks of the
citizens against arbitrary authority, and by
transgressing all constitutional limits of pow
er endanger the rights of all. Not only did
they awaken in the breast of many, however
well disposed, the grave apprehension that a
government or ruling party assuming so much
would stop at nothing, but such measures
served directly to sustain in power the very
advcnturers who, by their revolving system
OF plumber, were violently keeping alive the
spirit Of disorder which that legislation was
to reprcss. Some of the very worst Of that
thieving fraternity have been constantly
hanging around Congress, bawling and press
ing for the EXTREMIST measures, with no other
view but that every such act would be likely
to give them new lease Of power, and cX-
tend their freedom to steal"
Horace Gre.Isy's Views Of the Same Laws.
June l2, 1871, after he came back from the
South:
duty of protecting our citizens in their fiinda-
mental rights, to pass and enforce laws for
the extirpation of the execrable Ku-KIux
conspiracy and if it has not the power to do
it, then l say our Government is not Gov
eminent, but a sham. | therefore on every
proper occasion advocated and justified the
ku-kluX act. l hold it especially desirable
for the South and if it does not prove strong
enough to effect its purpose, | hope it will be
made stronger and stronger"
The law here spoken of is the law exactly
as it exists to day, including the habca. cor
p"s suspension. which has now expired by
its own limitation.
OF the Election law he said:
1T is urged by the Democratic organs that
the law is to be enforced i'll State and NUM-
cipal elections. This is done to make it more
obnoxious, if that be possible, to their party.
But, unfortunately, this is an error. The
law applies only to Presidential and Con-
gressional elections, though we heartily wish
it could be made to apply to all Others"

The Tribune quotes, apparently with APP
prevail, George w. Julian's declaration that
the Republican party sis as dead as the bones
of Ezekiel" About the time Mr.. Julian
was making this statement, Mr.. Greeley was
declaring that he was "as much Republican
as ever" Which is correct? Is it the ex-
PLANTATION that Mr.. Greeley is dead?
"A colored man in Ohio said the other
day: 81 do not know much, for was slave
all my younger days; but know who my
friends and benefactors are the candidates
who are supported by the Ku-Klux and their
apologists can't get my VOTE"
New national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1870-1874, 1872-08-08

Since the close of the rebellion not less
than twenty-threc thousand persons, black
and white, have been scourgcd, banshcd, or
murdered by the Ku-klux Klans of the
South. The victims Of their horrible barbar-
ity have been Republicans. Not a single
Democrat has suffered.
Here is the latest idea about brain-work:
"Brain-work cost more food than hand-work.
According to careful estimates and ANALYSIS
of the exertions, three hours of hard study
wears out the body more than whole day Of
severe physical labor. Another evidence of
the cost of FRAMEWORK is obtained from the
fact that though the brain is only one -fortieth
the weight of the body it receives one-fifth
of all the blood sent by the heart into the
system. Brain-workers, therefore, require
more liberal supply of food, and richer
food, than manual ibOrers."

Rrpnbiicanisnl Ia Spain.

The revolution of 1854 had the result of
organizing throughout the Peninsula the Re-
publican party. 1t called itself Democratic
through a scrupulous respect for the laws,
but it was party essentially hostile to any
monarchy. This was admitted by its chiefs
when, in the CQrtes of the time, they voted
not only against the dynasty of the Bour,
permanent power. The spread of the new
ideas at this time was enosnous. Journals

Every intelligent colored man will agree
with MIR. Sumner that "the present condition
of the colOred citizen is in peril.n They
will remember, however, that their ''peril''
has never come from the Republican party.

WE take the following from an account of
the proceedings of a Republican mass meet
ing at Allegheny, Pa:
Bishop Loguen, of Syracuse, was then in-
troduced to the meeting, and for nearly an
hour secured the attention of the assembly
by numerous dry and pointed hits. The
Bishop as an officer of his church has lately
been in North and South Carolina, Georgia,
and Alabama. He has been among the Ku-
klux, which he declares veritable affair.
Three clcrgymen in his denomination were
murdered during the last year in South Caro-
lima, and many Republicans, white and black,
were horribly mutilated and scourged. He
says the blacks will all go for Grant. They
have learned by instinct to love what their
old masters hate, and hate what their old
masters love. He says the old secessionists
and Ku-kluX sympathizers in the South all 90
for Greeley. That he and his race were resIl-
lar dyed in the wool black Republicans and
went for Grant of course.
He illustrated his remarks by many
shrewd and dry witticisms, which kept the
audience on broad grin. Below it all,
however, was the flow of a deep, earnest
conviction of duty and right.
The meeting was q success, and adjourned
in good spirits.
The executive committee appointed at
this meeting are requested to meet on Fri
day evening, (to-morrow,) at the Journal Of
flee, at p. M.

A Notable Meeting.

A Washington special of the twenty
ninth. to the St. Louis Democrat says:
There was a notable meeting before the
House Committee on the District Of Column
ba this morning, where John W. Garrett,
head man of the Baltimore and Ohio cor
poration, Tom Scott, the Pennsylvani
railroad king, met face to face, the former
to oppose and the latter to advocate the
granting of a part of the public reservation
on Sixth street, near Pennsylvania avenue
for depot for the Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad. Scots new read to Washington
Garrett opposes because it will make him
move. There was much sharp parrylng,
and Scott told Garrett that he had been
twenty years and spent $5,OoO,OOO trying to
get a road to Washington. and he did not
think Garrett ought to begrudge him a
depot The hearing was not concluded.
Powerful influences are at work on both

SPoRrsMENs HEADQUARTERs.-It Will be
seen upon referring to an advertisement on
our fourth page this morning that Mr.. f..
Charleville, so long and 80 very tavorabiy
known in his connection with the house of
u. H. Holmes, has opened, at No. % st.
Charles street an establishment especially
devoted to those whose tastes lead them
to the sylvan sports of fishing and hunting,
and has there collected stock, the like OF
which has rarely been collected IL one
store He has every quality and kind OF
hunting gun. rifles and pistols, fishing rods
and tackle of every description, etc, all OF
which he is selling at such astonishingly
low prices that the person who can not now
afford d good outfit must be poor indeed
Mr. Charlevile has all his life been most
enthusiastic hunter and fisher, and, there

sports can not fail being the best that has
yet been invented We nope that his really
spirited effort to please the public Will be

The Shreveport Times says

Colonel George Williamson returned from
Washington City and New York on the
steamer Texas, and brings cheering ac-
counts of the railroad prospects. He is sat
isfied from all he could learn of the charac-
ter of the two men that the change in the
presidency of the Texas Pacific was most
fortunate one tor the interests of the road.
Mr.. Scott, thoagh not so wealthy as Mr..
Roberts, controls vast deal more capital,
while he is wonderfully energetic and thor
oushy practical railroad man. There is
every reason to believe he will push forward
the road rapidly, tor its completion seems
to be necessary to the protection OF the
grand network of roads which he has in
view. The indications, too. are that under
the same management the road to Memphis
will be built in a reasonably short period OF
