The News G Courier is severe on
"Lieut. Col. Merrill, the South Caro-
lima Ku Klu1 catcher" winding up its
bilious diatribo with the assertion that
"ne other soffioer Of the United States
army who has been stationed in South
Carolina, Gen. Sickles not excepted,
enjoys tho unenviable reputation which
sticks to Col Merrill"
Well, perhaps it was not in tho best
taste for an officer of tho regular army
to accept extra pay for services which
under ordinary circumstances would
have been more properly performed by
a United States Marshal and hangman
but if any services ever deserved pay,
and good pay at that, they were pre-
cisoly those rendered by the "Ku Klux
catcher" Col. Merrill.
And the less the Ners G Courier or
any other Democratic paper says about
the Ku Klux, In the way Of apology or
excuse for that band of murderers, or of
condemnation OF those who caught
them, the better it will be for the honest
men in this State of both parties. That
same damnablo KuKluxism has stood ia
the way of sefo:m long enough, and if
the Republicans can afford to forget
their sufferings it is dirty aud bad
job for the Ne,cs d; Courier to open
their wounds afresh.
g We shall gladly welcome all fair mon
who accept the Republican faith (eveu
though some Of them may prefer to
work under another name) in the effort
to bring about a better condition of
things in South Carolina. But that
detestable corpse Ku Kluxism must be
kept quiet.
Better that tho ship of State should
be wrecked in mid.o ocean than that she
should ever be steered or manned by
any of those who have even the faintest
whisper to breathe in favor of the Ku
Klux. 81
,Let tho dead bury their dead-and
henceforth let Honesty against Dishou
esty be the only issue.
