or the transcendent outrages committed by
them, with the facts elected at the Column
bia trials, and the equally startling facts
made public at Raleigh and in the other
States we have named, is something that
we find it difficult to comprehend.
But what shall we say Of the justification
of these outrages by those who concede
their existence ? The Petersburg lader
not long since represented the Mayor of this
city as justifying the existence and acts OF
this organization, in a speech made in that
city. If this were so, we can hardly con-
ceive it possible that he should have been
familiar with the facts disclosed in the Ku-
klux trials to which we have referred,
where the testimony overwhelmed all argu-
ment, and where, before one court, forty
seven of these wretches confessed their
crimes without confronting the testimony.
These outrages were so fragrant, and so
shocking to all sense of humanity, that the
eminent counsel we have named virtually
abandoned the cases as too infamous for de-
fence.
In Raleigh, n. c., the testimony was so
overwhelming and the acts so damninc to
the ch;r Ger Of the communt y in which
they were con IN tied, some Of the leading
Democrats of the city and State joined in
denuuciation of them, i'll an address to the
Hon. II. l.. Bond, Judge of the United
States Circuit Court, in that State and urged
that the ''secret and unlawful organization"
be put down by the strong arm Of the
law. In this address to Judge Bond they
say that "no rght-minded man in North
Carolina can palliate or deny the. crimes
committed by these organizations"
We will not 90 to the other States named
to Justify the truth of four allegations. The
facts were notorious, and no well-inIormed
person ventured to deny them. The Gov
eminent interferred and stopped these out

United States were in a measure vndicated'

A VICTORY FOR THE WHOLE PEOPLE

A VICTORY FOR THE WHOLE PEOPLE
We are sorry for the disappointed, al
ways. 1t is hard to see the ships go down
freighted with mans brightest hopes. But
when that which the man desired was real
ly loss and damage rather than benefit,
we are reconciled to his transient pain and
disappointment in the assurance of his ulti-
mate higher good.
We assure our Conservative friends that
we do not triumph over them in any per-
sonal spirit. The victory already won, pre-
saying surely still greater one in No
vember, is for them as we'll as for us. That
is a fortunate battle in which the vanquish-
ed reap the best rewards of victory. In
this struggle it is remarkably true.
The South is immensely more interested IN
tie election of General Grant. and the con-
tiauance Of the firm, ,cise and stablepolicy
Of his administration than the North. 1t
i: just rising out of complete prostration,
and is too feeble and sensitive to bear the
rude shocks of such financial revelation
as would be sure to follow Democratic as
cen1ancy. That party has been the worst
enemy of the South. 1t has always fiat
tered its foolish conceits, and made mer-
chandise of it's weakness.
Slavery was the capital stock of the
Democracy for thirty years, and it still
| clings to the negro as the bugbear to fright.
en- its ignorant and deluded masses back
into the fold. 1t thus diverts the people
| from the great questions ofmaterial progress
and development. The Republican party
leads the whole nation forward on the path tt
great prosperity. Its triumph means r.
vived thrift, industry, and trade, wideI
field of effort, and richer return, for every
man and woman in this broad land. LIE
all rejoice that the ascendancy of the party
of order, liberty and progress is assured
for the next four years.

THE Enquirer is welcome to the credit
of taking the most discredtable horn to an
ugly dilemma, in endeayoring TO escape the
force of our article relating to its attack upon
the Hon. John Amber Smith. 1t appears
from its own confession that it knew Mr..
Smith opposed the particular Amnesty reso-
luton in question, on the ground that it
was intended as a personal reflection upon
Senator Lewis. Mr.. Taylor's language
implied this, at the time of offering it. 1t
is matter of little moment whether Mr..
Smith did or did not mistake the true pur-
port of the resolution as offered, for the gst
OF the charge was that he had voted against
Amnesty. The record as quoted by US
showed that he did no such thing-that he
voted against what he regarded as per-
sonal censure upon Senator Lewis, while
he avowed not only his own advocacy of
Amnesty but that Of Senator Lewis also.
The Enquirer, knowing these facts, made
itself amenable to the censure administered
by us, and now places itself in the category
of having willCully " slandered the truth Of
history"

REFoaM THE VOTING.

The cry of fraud comes up as usual from
the defeated party. 1t is getting very stale
and disgusting. But now, as heretofore, We
urge upon the attention of all who are ir-
terested in an honest election the necessity
of radical reform in our mode of voting.
1t is amazing that after a hundred years
we are still using substantially the same
cunbrous and imperfect machinery with
which we began.
4 right so sacred and essential as that
of suffrage, should be exercised under the
most favorable conditions. a duty, the
highest and most responsible, that a man
owes to his country, should be discharged
without compelling him to submit to unne-
cessary loss of time and money, or to per-
sonal associations which he may consider
offensive. Who that has stood in line for
hours in the streets, waiting for his turn 10
vote; or been compelled to lose his ballet
because press OF business called him from
home. or seen the polls close at sunset
with crowd of citizens deprived of their
|
The present system is miserably defec-
tive, and as long as it exists large portion
of our best citizens will stay away from
the polls except at the most exciting cleo
tons. 1t is the refuge of every Outrage
and villainy conceivable. 1t is in the inter-
est of the base and criminal classes of So
ciety that it be continued, but every pa
triot and every honest man should cry out
against it. Its continuance is shame and
blot upon our politics.
Undoubtedly it is difficult to establish
any rules for the exercise Of the right Of
suffrage, which are absolutely free from
objections. But in this matter we have
made no resolute or well considered at
tempt to improve. We published, some
time since, the plan of Judge Durant, of
New Orleans, which we esteem great inn
provement and liable to few objections. That
plan proposes, First, to register all voters
as completely as,possible Second, place.in
the hands of the registrar book of blank
ballots, arranged like bank checks with
stubs to each. These ballots are signed by
the registering officers, and to be distribut-
ed to the electors to be filled up and re-
turned by them on election day.
The ballots may be broughtin person or sent
by another party. All disagreeable person
al contacts are thus avoided. The voting
interferes very slightly with the business
of the country. and frauds are rendered
difficult, or, if perpetrated, easy of detec-
ton. This plan is feasible, and we hope
to see it inaugurated in this country. Il
or Democratic and Conservative friend;
aoish to stop frauds let them join aoiM us 4,

A sTRAlGnTOU7 WAY OF ESCAPE.

sTRAfGHTUUg WAY OF EsCAfE.
The fierce political storm which Mr..
Greeley's nomination has created in the
ranks of the Democratic party and the Re-
publican lightning which it has elected "a'l
around the sky" indicate but one way Of
escape for the Democrats from the most
crushing and disastrous defeat to which a
political party was ever subjected in this or
any other country, and that is, the instant
abandonment by them of Greeley and
Brown and the adoption of O'Conor and
Adams.
By doing this, the party may save its
principles and organization, and not go
down altogether ingloriously in the dust.
They will abandon the most nauseous po-
litical compound ever submitted as cam
paign prescription for any political party to
take-to say nothing Of the acknowledged
incompetency of the ticket in the field
and take up two Of the most eminent and
respectable citizens Of the pure Democratic
faith in the country, and those who will
iHake tHS taiuPai6hs Az tAS D"'"Ae"
of the time, at least respectable. O'Conor
and Adams are men of untainted political
virtue, and of the highest personal worth
and integrity. Their antecedents are ac-
cordng to the strictest doctrine of the
Democratic church, and their abilities of
an order to command the highest respect
OF all parties in the country. Of course,
they will stand no chance of an election,
but they can save the Democrats
from the certain gulf of oblivion towards
which they are drifting.
The result of the elections yesterday has
fully indicated the encouraging assurances
we cave in our last issue. Pennsylvania
has covered herself with imperishable
luster. Her people have shown themselves
capable of rising above all party feuds--
even those of the bitterest personal eharac-
ter in their own fanks--and coming up as

THE hardest "work of reconciliation y
that the Democratic party has to do is to
reconcile Greeley's dsunionism with Gree
ley's professions of loyalty, and what
Greeley says one day with what he said
the day before. The biggest and broadest
"chasm we know of is that between
Greeley preaching civil service reform and
Greeley making pledges to stake care of
his friends - between Greeley the apostle
of protection and Greeley renting the
tariff question to the people," between
Greeley advocating peacable dsunion and
Greeley maintaining that the Union
abides forever.o
