Mercy for the Ku-KluI.

It was Mr.. Greeley who, two months since,
called the attention Of Gerrlt Smith to the iact
that many of the Kn-Klnx prisoners confined
at Albany were deserving OF the interposition
of Executive clemency, and he urged, 1t is
stated, that ''some OF these poor creatures
swere 80 grossly Ignorant, that others were
''too young to comprehend the nature OF the
"fearful obligations which they had assumed,
"and that others had undoubtedly been terri
"ned into Joining the Ku.Klnx organizations.
"Mr. Greeley asked Mr.. Smith, as philan-
"lhroplst, to examine into the facts oil the
"case for himself, and use his influence with
.sthe President, with whom his relations were
scordlally close, iu behalf of such prisoners
''as deserved IL. Mr. Smltn agreed 10 Iook
Unto the affair, but said he was doubtful If the
"President would be Induced, In the midst OF
"a heated campaign, to take steps ior the re.
s'lease OF any Of The prisoners, as 1t might In
"Jure his political prospects.

Their pay is princely. Governor Scott mus'

when the money was paid. 1t is believed
That no such men are in eZistence-that the
money charged 10 these names Was paid ou'
for votes against impeachment. There are
two ways OF satisfying the public. Let Leg
gett, Wilson and Mooney come forward, ano
show who they are, and what manner Of
service they rendered for that snug sum o.
$4,000. Or, let Governor Scott overwhelm
his enemies by proving that the money was
honestly paid to those honest creditors OF the
State who are too difiident to speak foI
themselves. 1t is either that or downright
stealing, Mr.. Scott.

Major Louie MerrIIl's Share.

One of the best known men in South Caro-
lima is Major Louis Merrill, OF the Fourth
Cavalry, the commandaut OF the Ku Klux
District, and the organizer OF the Ku-KluX
crusades. He is an officer in the United
States Army, and is paid we'll by the gov
ernment for his professional services. =
How comes it, then, that Major Merrill fgures
on the books of the State Treasurer as re-
ceiving fue hundred dollars from the "Armed
sForce" fund? What possible service could
he render the State OF SoutG Carolina which
would entitle him to such sum? MAJOR
Merrill owes it to himself to make an explana-
lion of this significant fact. Perhaps he
can. like Representative Whipper, wash his
hands OF the whole business. So much the
better. The thing must be prohed to the
bottom, however Scott & Co., the unques-
tonable culprits, may wriggle and squrm

Congressman EIIiott's Ten Thousand
Dollars.

While the Scott impeachment resolutions
were before the House of Representatives
last winter, black Congressman Elliott came
down post-haste from Washington, and re-
mained In Columbia until the resolutions
were defeated. To him Governor Scott has
paid sl0,500 out OF the earned Force"
fund. wi Congressman Elliott be good
enough to explain what services he rendered
The State which entitled him to draw 30 large
sum? or course, he worked hard to de-
feat impeachment, and it was right that
Governor Scott should give the laborer his
hire. But what OF the ten thousand dollars
which came out of the State Golfers, and not
out OF the Executives pocket? To man
up tree, it would seem that "our beloved
estate" has had the privilege OF supplying
the bribes which induced the members OF
the Legislature to whitewash an official OF
whose guilt they cannot be doubtful. Item,
Sl0,500.

The Necessity OF specie Payments.

The New York Bnlletin notes tendency 10
ignore the question of The resumption OF
specie payments, aud whistle 1t down The
wind as matter In which Lhe people have
very little interest, and as of no Importance
whatever to them. The editor well says we
have practical Illustration OF the coDse-
uuences resulting from the uncertainty Of
values in the present condition of the fall
trade. In order to take advantage of the re-
duclion of duties by The new tariff, buyers de-
layed their purchases until the lst OF August,
and then 1t was found that the rise In gold
almost covered The reduction OF duty, 80 that

forced TO lie idle was added, importers were
unable to make the reductions anticipated by
buyers. The latter In consequence are hold.
ing of or buying very sparingly, with possible,
# not probable, results to the fall trade, both
in this city and throughout the entire coun.
try, that are anything but resssuring at the
present time. Now, there Is not merchant,
business man, farmer, mechanic, steamboat
proprietor or hotel-keeper ln the United
States whose Interests are not more or less
affected by at least partial return of business
prosperity at this time. To pretend, there
fore, that return 10 specie payments Is q
matter OF no particular Importance TO the
American peo pie, Is the very unacy Of econo-
mic ignorance. On the contrary, 1t Is mat
ter of vital Interest to all classes, and of all
the issues of the present day IL is the one In
which the welfare of the greatest number OF
persons is concerned, and on which the pros
perity and commerce Of the country are most
dependent.

Representative Whipper's Forty-Etght
Dollars.

Representative Whipper came in among
the small fry, and was charged with receiv-
ing forty-eight dollars from the earned
"Force" fund. With commendable prompt
tude, he declares that he never performed
any services which could he properly charged
to the earned Force, " and thai he has never
received cent from that source. Who had
that forty-eight dollars? Mr.. Whipper did
not get it; but it is charged against him on
the Treasury ledger. A little forging must
have been done before that money was
drawn. The warrant appears to have been
in Mr.. Whipper's name, and somebody else
endorsed it and bagged the money. An
examination OF The vouchers will show VINO

The chief Sinner.

Whatever Tom, Dick and Harry may have
to saw about their share OF the EARNED
.Force" fund, it is certain that the greater
part of the expenditures charged to that
fund had nothing to do with that force.
Governor Scott is the person who signed the
warrants, ana he is personally responsible
for the money which has been misapproprl-
ated. A clearer case OF fraud has never been
made out. With proper diligence, Governor
Scott should find himself in limbo, or under
bond. before a week is past.

what claim they have upon the "Armed

their constituents would like to know what
that something was. This question cannot
be evaded, and O mild answer may turn
away the public wrath. Never mind about

from him.
