The New York Times {Administratiop)
has this reflection upon the Ku Klex
business in South Carolina, which has
probably occurred to some other persons
as we'll: "Some of,the persons engaged
in this businesa of oonvicting Ku Klux
appear to have made very good thing
of it, and we find one individual given
the handsome sum of sl7,40O" Which
makes very snug income, indeed. The
fellow who got that purse would not be
convinced that the South is loyal. if he
were to live q thousand years. The
Times adds: 'It is not entirely certain
that South Carolina will, in the end, de-
rive mnoh benefit from convictions
which, afford ground for the charge that
the prosecutors were incited by the love
OF gain, rather than of Justice" No;
but, on the country. it is entirely CO.
tain that convictions obtained by bribery
OF 80 fragrant and shameless a character
will prove curse to the country. and

grand success of the Fair, have in

complete success, and that we shall

sA- Packard's Deputies are get.
ting hungry and ragged, and have
commenced their Infamous and
thleving tricks in the black mail
line. Two of these fellows arrived
here, one day last week, armed
with revolvers and warrants, for
the purpose esting and taking
to Baton Rouge before one Lane,
q. S. Commissioner, several of our
merchants because they have paid
their whiskey and tobacco licenses
to the q. S. Collector. All have
their proper receipts posted in
their stores, as the law directs, but
this is no protection to them, now
that some hired and peljured scoun-
drel has made affidavit to the con.
trary. The whole matter, as plan,
ned and arranged, will end in our
merchants being taken to Baton
Rouge, and thtle turned loose to
get back home the best way they
can paying their own expenses
Then the molied object Of these O..
S. Officials will have been accom-
plished, receiving fees, milage &c.
from Uncle Sam for illegal, arbi
trary and unjust arrest OF citizens,
who have complied with every let
ter of the law, and thus for a while
they can rest in the enjoyment
of their stolen greenbacks, and plan
another stealing expedition it,
some other quarter. Thus are U.
s. Officials permitted to act towards
the people they should protect, and
thus is Radical rule crammed down

ssa- Now that the Democracy of
Ohio have won such q victory on a
straight, unadulterated Democratic
platform, the claims of that great
State for the Presidential nomina-
ton in 1876 are considerably adj
yanced. Happily, too, she has the
material out of which to make a
President. Either Allen, or Thur
man. or PendlctOn would do much
to rescue the chair from the disgrace
with which Radicalism has sur
rounded it.

The Eiecti0nS.-Great Democratic
Gains.

We have sufficient returns from
the elections of last week to indicate
the result. In Pennsylvania the Re-
publican candidate for Treasurer has
about $4,000 majority. This is
Democratic gain Of one hundred apd
nineteen thousand since last Novem-
Der. In Ohio the Democrats have
made a glorious fight and have won
a most astonishing victory. Will
liam Allen is elected Governor by a
small majority and the Democrats
have majority in both branches of
The Legislature, securing the re. cleo
ton OF Allen G.. Thurman to the U.
S. Senaie. Grant carried the State
by $4,000 majority. In Iowa the
combinei grangers and Democrats
have carried the House for the first
time, we believe, in the history ofthe
Stale, and have hammered down
Grants 10000 majority to very small
figures. In Oregon j. ". Nesmeih,
the Democratic Candidate for Con-
gress in the State at large, is elected
by majority Of $500 being a gain
over Grants majority OF 6,575.
The lateness of the hour in the ar
rival of the mail compel us to defer
comment. The most significant re-
suit is that in Ohio, where Allen ran
as Democrat pure and simple, and
where there was vigorous cam
paign and full vote. In Ohio such
Gnapciers as A len, Thurman and
Pendleton put squarely before the
people this financial question, and
charged the blame of the crisis on
Che Radical administration where it
belongs. Behold the result. If the
election had been put off a month,
the administration would have been
beaten in every State. The result is
emiuently satisfactory. We shall
now hear no more of the old song
about the dead Democracy.
