WASHINGTON, July pa delegation
Of prominent South Carolinians, headed
by Hon. D. W. Porter, General J. B.
Kershaw, and J. NJ. Sims, had an in
terview with Attorney-GeneraI Will
liams this morning, and urged that a
further prosecution of kuklux offenders
in the south be discontinued, as that Or
ganiZatien was broken up; and that a
cessation Of prosecutions would have a
conciliatOry effect upon all classes of
that section. They also urged that those
convicted, and now serving out terms of
sentence, be pardoned. The attorney
general, in reply, said that instructions
had already been issued to stop prosecu-
tions against kuklux offenders, except
in very aggravated cases, and some Of
those convicted had already been par
doned. 1t was the policy of the Presi-
dent to pardon all, keeping the most ag-
gravated cases, however, until the last.

As the time for holding the Republi-
can State convention in Massachusetts
draws nigh, something very like panic
exercises 1.-THE purest and best' of the
old Bay State. The newspapers have
less to say; perhaps they think more.
The Butler specter is stalking through
the higher walks of literature, and the
Atlantic Monthly has caught sight of the
terrifying vision. In the August num-
Der OF that magazine is an editorial arti-
Gle, IN which philosophy and trepidation
are curiOusly mingled. The writer recalls
what are known as the uncertainties of
politics, but points out the vaticinstions
concerning Mr.. BOutwell's s election to the
senate, Mr.. Richardson's nomination to
the treasury secretaryship, and other
pants OF scheme ending in Ruller's
nomination for Governor of Massaehu-
sets, have all been fulfilled. 1t evident
ly suspects that the grand finale is in
evitable; and, casting about for reasons
why this should not come, find that the
internal revenue officers, the custom
houses, the district-attorneyships "all
are but parts of one stUpendOus whole"
The administration is the figure-head.
1t is this machinery which, in Massa-
ehusetts, General Butler directs; and it
is the irresistible force keeping this ma
chlnery in motion that renders many
people hopeless Of successfully opposing
him. They begin to look upon him as
their fate.
Louisiana.

Having, by aid of the national gov

conspiratOrs are now clamorOus to be
left alone. The eustOmhouse organ in
New Orleans raises this dOleful wsil,
. The Louisiana case,' as it is STYLED by
Its originatOrs, is nothing now but an
appeal to congress to do that which the |
Democratic party has always eontended |
congress has no right to do, viz, inter- |
Iere in the domestic affairs of a State.
But our Louisiana Democrats ara will /
ng that Republican congress should 1
'aerlf1ee that great Democratic State

new avenue through which thew hone to /

States had a council on the ninth in
slant with all The principal chiefs Of the

The BROOKLYN Trust Company.


New YORK, July 24.-The statement
that the condition of the Brooklyn
trust company has long been known to
| certain members of the ring, and that
they ayailed themselves of this knowl-
edge to draw out funds belonging to
them, is reiterated, with names and
dates. It is alleged that scarcely one of
the ring has large amount remaining
with the trust company. Not long ago
the treasurer Of a political club was in
formed OF the condition of the trust
company and withdrew the funds of the
club. Register Mclaughlin Withdrew
the city funds under his charge on Mon
day preceding the suspension, and was
induced to return them because of the
bad effect it would have on others.
Call loans Of the company, amounting
to one million nine hundred and seven
ty five thousand dollars, are being called

from the United States court, to test the
question whether the encouragement
has the power to release prisoner after
the judges commitment. II this does
not hold they will procure another civil
order of arrest from the State courts, so
that he shall not escape.
Notwithstanding every effort made by
the counsel for VIM. J. Sharkey, SEN
fenced to be hanged on the fifteenth of
August, there is doubt that he will Sc
cure a stay Of proceedings. No Judge
of the supreme court has been found
who would listen to an argument. Gov
ernor Dix has been appealed to for ex-
ecutive clemency, but every effort in
that direction has failed to elicit a re-
sponse.
