Ku-KIux in Kentucky.

ku-NluX IN kentucky.
There are limitations through the
accustomed channels that the Govern
ment is preparing to thrust its own
hand into Kentucky for the preven-
ton of the ku-kluX outrages which
are becoming scandal to that State.
1t unquestionably will suffer no OPP
portunity Of such character for in
tehering with the local affairs of ano-
ther State to pass unimproved, The
demand of the Louisville Courier
Journal npon the State authorities
should be so promptly responded to
that Federal interference, the end of
which cannot be foreseen, may be
rendered entirely unnecessary. 1t is,
as the Courier.Journal declares, an
inexpressible disgrace that such atroc-
tiles as are testified to can occur with.
in radius of five miles of the State
Capital. 1t says that "hooded villainy
almost invades the grounds Of the
Capitol, and if little more courage is
acquired ON its part, and a little more
pusillanimity is betrayed on the part
of the officers of the law, we shall ex-
poet the representatives of the State
Government to be driven from the
Capital should they ever offend the
august body of outlaws" This is a
most remarkable confession to make.
On the very suburbs of Frankfort, it
is alleged, a brood ofmidnight bandits
have for years been allowed to perpe-
trate their internal outragcs. The
neighboring citizens have been driven
from their homes and compelled to
sell their property at Il great sacrifice
The evidence shows that the cXls-
tence Of this organization Of outlaws
is far from receiving the countenance
of the citizens, and it is still an I'M
decided question whether tie amhori-
ties of the State are more indifferent
to them than in fear of them. Bnt it
is obvious that it is this neglect to
deal firmly and resolutely with the
gang that has given them increased
boldness and assurance. They sneer
at Gubenatorial proclamation now
as if they understood that it was but
an empty form. The courts of justice
in the neighborhood are described rs
being palsied with fear and making
but mockery Of their duty. Dwell
ings are plundered and fired with an
IMMUNITY that has struck terror to all
minds. The striking popularity of
the case is, that the outlaws presume
to invade the very citadel Of State
authority. They have wrought 50
universal a terror in the people, that
the entire country around the Capital
may be said to have been given up to
them. They thus make their head,
quarters in the heart of the State, not
III remote mountains and in accessible
wilds. They heed a visit of the Ad-
jutant- General, speaking to them for
the Governor, no more than if he
were without all semblance of author
ity. 1t is shameful spectacle for a
great Commonwealth like Kentucky
to contemplate, and her citizens can
not but see that unless they speedily
apply the sternest of remedies, and
the only ones fit for the exigency, they
suffer their State to fall into degrade
ton. The existence Of such outlawry
is utterly incompatible with the con-
ditions of civilized order or progress

The Massachusetts, Democratic
State Convention was held at Worces-
ter on Wednesday Of last week. The
gathering as usual was not very large,
but enthusiastic. The Hon. John X.
Tarbox, Of Lawrence, was elected
permanent President Of the Conven-
ton, and on taking his seat, made a
most splendid speech Resolutions
similar to those adopted by the Ohio
Convention were passed. The Hon.
William Castor (ex-NIayor) Of Boston
was nominated for Governor, with the
balance of a State Ticket equally as
good and popular, as its leading man.
We hope the Democracy of the "Old
Bay State" will be able to take add
vantage Of the Republican split there,
and give an increased vote-if not
gain the victory.

SPIRIT or THE AGE
Thursday Sept. II, 1873.

Guerilla Mosby who has until
quite recently been so thick with the
GRANTEES has now it appears broke
friendship with them. And this dis
affection Of Mosby from the Republi
can cause has drawn upon him the
anathemas of the organs Of the party
with which he lately affiliated. The
Radical lpapers in Washington city
now characterize him as a marauding
guerilla, who did nothing in the war
but rob chicken coops, capture suffers
wagons and harass and rob Struggling
Union men and waylay unprotected
trains of supplies. 1t does seem too
bad for them to go back on their
friends. Should they do so in earnest
and tell of each other what they
know, some important and startling
revelations will undoubted be made.
The Grant party is really getting into
confused condition.

zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that
CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of Consumption,
cured by this preparation, are publicly known,
so remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dispute. As remedy,
it is adequate, on which the public may rely
for full protection. By curing Coughs, the
forerunners of more serious disease, it saves un-
numbered lives, and an amount of suffering not
to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Alice
tions, which are easily met at first, but which
become incurabe, and too often fatal, if neg.
lected. Tender lungs need this defence; and it
is unwisc to be without it. As safeguard to
children, amid the distressing diseases which
beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
multtudes are rescued from premature graves,
and saved to the love and affection centred on
them. 1t acts speedily and surely against ordi-
nary colds, securing sound and health-restoring
sleep. No one will suffer troublesome Influ.
enza and painful Bronchitis, when they know
how easily they can be cured
Originally the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, no cost Or toll
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection. 1t may be confidently relied
upon as possessing all the virtues it has ever
exhibited, and capable of producing cures as
memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.

This Years Wheat Crop.

The aggregate crop of wheat in the
four great spring wheat raising STATES
of the Northwest, viz: Illinois, Wis
consln, Minnesota and Iowa, is likely
to be from 100000 to 2O,OOO,OOO
bushels greater than 1t was last year.
AT the same time California had Just
had another great crop, and will have
as large surplus to export as she had
last year. Out of the wheat crop of
1872, the surplus exported from the
United States, to foreign countries
was nearly 36,O0O,OOO bushels. But
this year it is not improbable that the
surplus available for export to foreign
countries will be from 45,OOO,OO0 to
50,0O0,O0O bushels. 1t is we'll under
stood that the price of wheat in this
country is fixed by the price for which
the surplus will sell for in England
where it is consumed. Thus while
there are average crops in all the 9TH
er wheat-growing countries of the
world, the United States will have a
surplus of from 80 to 40 per cent.
more wheat than usual to offer to
foreign consumers, and must expect
the competition of other producing
countries.
The wheat raised throughout the
Northwest this summer is Of finer
quality than usual, but the yield per
acre has also been much larger, and
the farmers will be well paid for 1t
at an average OF 81 per bushel at the
railroad stations in Illinois and Wis
consin, and say 90 cents per bushel in
Iowa and Minnesota. While it is to
the interest of every Westernman,
whether in the cities OF in the country,
that the farmers should get the high
est possible price for their crops of
wheat, prudence would dictate that
if farmers can get about the price
above named they had better sell at
once. - Chicago Tribune.
