A GOOD CHARACTER.


The Hon. Richard Yates of Illinois has
emerged once more from private life, and fur
nished Chicago newspaper with some frag-
ments of his personal history. The Honorable
Dick has been dsrespectfully treated by a
great many newspapers in the course of bis
conspicuous career; but he has borne SCOTS,
pity, and indignation with equal cOmpOsure.
When he read, however, in public print the
other day that while he was in the Senate his
associates Cooked down upon him with con-
"tempt," his honest anger rose, and he pro-
ceeded to prove that it was no sucn
thing 1t seems that when he left
the Senate great many of the most
distinguished members of that body gave
him the handsomest sort of written recon-
mendations Fourteen honorable gentlemen
with Gov. Morton at the head and poor old
Subsidy POmeroy at the tail, signed joint
certificate that they chad ever found his action
6" in the Senate based on generosity, fidelity
to the cause of freedom, and love Of justice
"and fair play" The Hon. Henry Wilson,
having put away his Credit Mobilier shares
expressed hope that he might meet Mr.
Yates hereafter, "where temptations never
"come." Senator Conkling declared that Mr.
Yates was faithful" and fearless and
mindful of the rights of others. Mr.. Vickers
Mr.. Garrett Davis, Mr.. McCreary, and Mr.. Ham
ilton, said various pleasant things; and Mr.
Yates parades about a column of them in The
Chicago Times. Mr.. Yates has not yet sue
ceeded in getting another place, though he is
fortified with such splendid character from
his last one. However, it must be very pleas
ant for him to know what his associates
thought of him.
And now perhaps it might be worth while
to inquire what he thinks Of them. He is con-
spicuously faithful !" what has he to say of
the Congressman who being left to watch the
National Treasury abused their trust by taking
out of 1t when they went home gratuity of
five thousand dollars apieoef He is "fear-
"less - what must he think of the towards
who pretend not to have drawn the money
which is already on deposit to their credit
He respects the rights of Others" how does
he think the rights of the taxpayers have
been regarded in this Back Pay scandal His
action in the Senate was chased on gen
"erosity, fidelity to the cause of freedom, and
"lOve of justice and fair play" can he say
the same for his friendsf Upon the whole
we need not ask the Back Pay Senate for a
recommendation of Dick Yates. The publican
and sinner was better man than the
Pharisee.

KENTUCKY KU-KLUX.

The disclosures of The Louisville Courier
Journal respecting the condition of affairs III
Owen, Henry, and Franklin Counties, Ken
tucky. almost stagger belief. For the past
four years that portion of the State seems to
haze been harrled at pleasure by band of
masked ruffians, numbering anywhere from
two dozen to two hundred! Some of them
ara certainly we'll known all through the
neighborhood, and their operations have been
conducted with so much bravado that If JUS
tice had been alert they must all have been
in Jail long ago. And this we must remember
was IN no remote and thinly peopled region.
II was at the very gates of the capital. in the
very suburbs of Frankfort. Within mile or
so of the seat of government, the law becomes
absolutely powerless.
How far the crimes of these desperadoes
are inspired by hatred of race and how far
they are prompted by mere lust for plumber
ia not very clear, and perhaps 1t is not very
important. The special correspondent of The
Courier-Journal, who went through oil the
disturbed region in the disguise of sheep
dealer, furnishes adetailed list of over one
hundred outrages committed IN the years
1870 1871, 1872, and 1878, ranging In degree
from intimidation 10 III ID RTedJ
number of cases farmers and others were COM
peIled to discharge negro laborers. Peaceable
and industrious negro families were dragged
from their homes, whipped, and expelled from
the neighborhood. White men were also
driven away. Houses aud mills were set on
fire But with these deeds of violence were
combined so many other crimes, such as rob
berry and rape, that the actual character and
nurposes of the midnight raiders become
somewhat doubtful. Probably they combined
political business with private profit and per-
sonal pleasure.
We do not understand that any member of
this band has ever been brought to justice.
One was arrested for murder in 1871, but his
companions Immediately took him from the
iail. Another has recently been released on
tpe hundred dollars bail to appear and stand
his trial for the assassination of a colored man
last July. The courts seem to be utterly in
efficient. Constables and prosecutors and wit
nesses are undoubtedly inundated; and we
read that the terrified inhabitants are aban-
doning their homes, sacrificing their farms,
and moving into the large cities for protec-
ton. The Governor issues proclamations.

and the bandits laugh at them; and
many timid and disheartened people are
calling for the interpostion of the army of
the United States 1t is burning shame
that such demand should be heard in great
commonwealth like Kentucky The duty Of
the State executive to enforce the laws and
preserve order is perfectly well understood.
and there are ample means at his disposal for
doing it. If he fails in that duty, there is
surely spirit enough in the Kentucky Legis-
lature to hold him to an account. The prac-
tce of running to the paternal Government
in Washington for a squad of soldiers to
serve Justices writ, arrest a chicken thief,
and punish drunken marauders for assault
and battery, is one of the mischievous relics
of reconstruction which Kentucky, at any
rate, ought to have rid herself of long ago.
If State has not the energy to enforce her
laws, she might better not make any, until
anarchy has taught her the value OF orderly
government

TALK THAT MEANS SOMETHING.

Upon the whole, the "dead" Democratic
party is little ahead in the matter of down.
right earnestness upon the subject OF back
pay. The Republican Conventions so far have
denounced it whenever they could do so
safely, not having any ebay out" In Virginia,
it will be remembered, however, that the
Republican Convention, being thereunto
moved by Mr.. Platt who had "voted
"six times for the bill, and would
"do so again under similar circumstances"
and who proposed to defend his action
con the stump ignored the whole subject
and postponed indefinitely resolution relat-
ing to it. But in the Pennsylvania Democratic
State Convention at Wilkesbarre yesterday
they did better thing They did in fact the
only thing of the kind since the back pay
grab began. The Democrats of Pennsylvania
set their foot on a Democrat who voted for
the grab and took the money.
Mr.. Spear, member of Congress who voted
for the bill and pOcketed the plumber, laboring
under the delusiOn that political clap-trap was
what it used to be, and that conventions and
parties might denOunce theft while the dele
gates had plumber and the candidates we're
thieves, was named as permanent Chairman OF
the Convention. Some disag7eeable delegate
who had notions about things and thought it
was a safe thing to have the Convention which
was expected to denOunce the Salary
Grab presided over by somebody other
than a man who had his share of the grab in
his pocket. had the effrontery to oppose the
appointment. It was quite an unusual thing
to do, but very wise and sensible thing, and
the Convention after discussion of the sub
iect, in the course Of which Mr.. Spear under
took to defend his action but failed, voted
that he was not the kind of man to preside
over its deliberations.
This is the only thing in the history of this
business in connection with political Conven-
tons that looks at all like business. For the
most part Conventions have resolved in a
very loose general way that the Salary Grab
was dishonest and dishonorable, and that its
supporters were unworthy of public
confidence but no Convention before
this one at Wilkesbare has fairly con-
fronted it with the necessity of re-
buking a prominent and trusted official
staring it in the face and taken hold of it in
good honest earnest. The Pennsylvania De-
mocracy, whatever else they have done, have
in this matter acted courageOusly and honor
ably, and set good example for their partly IN
other States. 1t is cheap and easy to pass
resolutions. These people have done more than
that. They have had a row about it, and
taken one of their own representatives by the
ear and led him out. To all other conventions
and parties it may be said, Go and do like
