The alleged existence Of secret armed
organizations 10 the South was one oil
the mesps employed TO FIRE the Northern
heart in the campaigns Of 1872 and
1876. Radical papers were filled with
bitter d%enunciaiion Of the Southern peo-
pie, their court and peace officers, for
permitting such organizations to exist.
They were called upon to suppress the
rife clubs and stamp out the ku-klux, as
If such suppression aud stamp out we're
a light task admitting Of easy and in
sisnt performance. At the present time.
10 nearly all the large cities Of the North,
oath bound secret organizations, armed
with the best modern appliances, meet
every night and drill and discipline.
They decline 10 explain their objects
further than to state that they propose
10 resist unlawful arrests and protect
their rights.
They number many thousands, and
include what are regarded as the most
dangerous elements o! our heterogeneous
population. They create q vagus terror
10 the public mind, alarm capitalists
and sid much to the general demorali
Eltion Of business. Yet the same Jour.
naldlnd the same men who so bitterly in
Weighted against the South for not sup
+ pressing the rifle clubs aud similar as
' sociations, now contess that there ia No
awful means Of putting down or ever
= checking these manifestations of tn
communicate spirit 1t is conceded ths
these men have a lawful right to ban,
d together IN secret, to bear arms aud Il
drill, and that q criminal intention can
y not be assumed in advance oil erimins
acts Meantime quiet reigus and goo,
d order prevails throughout the South, an
10 we 80 not notice 10 the newspapers o
that section any abuse Of the Northern
people Tor not wiping out the America
n commune.

The only reasonable explanation Of the
case is that Mr. Wheat has become mon
omsnisc On the bond question, and is not
really responsible for what he does, other
wise he would know that in refusing 10
compromise he il insisting upon policy
which, if carried out, will cause his

the money represented by the face
OF their bond, but the whole Of il, for he
knows, a. well 81 he knows his own name,
that the people of Leavenworih can never
pay the sum called for by there bonds, and
an attempt to compel them to do so would
result, a. Judge Dillon stated from the
bench, in utter ruin TO the community. II
Mr.. Wheat can enforce the policy he in
si-is upon in this matter, the result will
simply he to deprive mis- clients OF the
benefits they might receive from judicious
compromise and make their bonds utterly
