wAich - another time would have
been named Regulators," or "Vigi-
lance Committees" come to be known a.
The Ku-Klux." OF course they did
many things which were wholly indefen-
sible. The widest proceedings, however,
were caused by the retaliatory measures
which they ascribed to the Union League.
These took the cowardly forms Of incendi-
arism. / was told that for period numerous
buildings could be seen on FIRE every night
Unqnestionxbly the state of things in
some localities became veritably internal.
At length Gouernor Holden proclaimed
martial law. A regiment, organized by
his orders, made several arrests and the
persons arrested were discharged from
custody by order of q Federal Judge.
This decision discouraged the league.
Incendiary fires ceased to be kindled, and
the Ku-Klux organization vanished from
existence. One fact adduced to prove
that the objects Of the band were not po-
litical is connected with the subsequent
movement of the Legislature to impeach
Governor Holden. In justification of his
proclamation of martial law, he brought
forward testimony concerning over 80
outF1ges, and was informed upon the
highest authority that, in every one of
thosecases excepttwo punishment was con-
clusively proved to have been inflicted for
crimes having no connection with politics.

League in the act of amnesty subsequently
passed by the Legislature Hundreds Of
his political associates stood in need of
such relief from the danger of punishment

This communication Is already too long,
but deem It important to call attention
to what 30 influential Republican az our
author proposes for the South in future
He says: " Let the nation educate the
colored man and the poor white man, be-
cause the nation held them in bondage
and is responsible for their education"
this no doubt is a plan which Judge
Tourgee has very much at heart. The
other day at the alumni dinner of Roches-
ter University, he said, "Just six per
cent. of intelligence put with the igno-
rance of the South viii overmatch it and
turn the scale of the sixteen States in favor
of the right" Assuming that the Repub-
lican party is to control the national gov
ernment for an indefinite period, he would
have it fill the South with political ennis
saries under the guise of teachers and
thus turn the scale of sixteen States in
favor " Of the political organization
against which those States have had to
contend every inch of ground in their
steady march toward prosperity Will
he favor this educational plan after the
election of Hancock to the Presidency !?

ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE WORLD.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE WORLD.
KINGSTON July 90
Mr.. Jay Gould last week visited his form
er home in Delaware county in this State
and honored Kingston with his presence
en- route. While here he spoke his mind
freely on the subject of politics, prophe-
sying the certain election of Hancock and
English. In conversation with Major
Thomas Cornell, the wealthy forwarder
here-a Republican, by the way-Mr.
Gould unhesitatingly said that he antici-
pated the success of the Democratic Pres
idential ticket this fall
"How is that? 2" queried Mr. Cornell.
WE'LL" said Mr.. Gould, +" the fact is,
General Arthur loads down the Republi-
can ticket, and aside from that the Demo
Gratis are thoroughly united on Hancock
and English. l have no hope of carrying
New York, and believe that as goes New
York 30 will also go New Jersey at least,
and Connecticut probably"
Mr. Gould also ventured the remark
that the Republican " machine I" had al
ready practically abandoned the Presiden-
tial fight and would henceforth concen-
trate It's efforts upon carrying the various
State Legislatures, with the obvious pur-
pose of controlling the United States
Senate.
Mr.. Gould's revelations are important
only as exhibiting the fact that what is
called the money power does not seem to
be as much afraid of the Democracy as
some people make out, and that the Ifi-
bst'ae's Lot in this contest is not happy
one.
From the World, July al
"A special dispatch from Kingston,
published in to-day's World, puts our
readers in possession of some interesting
and instructing observations by Mr. Jay
Gould, which otherwise might not have
been made public before the middle Of
November, and then in the form of edito-
rial explanations of the Republican de-
feat. Mr.. Gould, it appears, is convinced
that tho Republican ticket is to be beaten
becaase it 10 loaded down. with Gen
eral Arthur. The great majority of Mr..
Gcdld's fellow-citizens agree with him
about the probability Of defeat, but to
them It appears that the ticket win be
beaten because it IL loaded down with
General Garfield. Still, if the smoney
power opposes the ticket on account Of
General Arthur and the mass of voters
oppose il on account of General Garfield,
1t win be generally admitted that the
ticket Is in bad way.

CENSUS FALsEHoops SETTLED.

The unprincipled manner in which the
Republican Press has sought to make
political capital by making false repre-
sentations concerning the census reports
from the South has received decided
check by the following statement, made
recently in New York by Gen. Francis
a. Walker, Superintendent Of the Gen.
sus,:
"The Republican papers nre dcvoting o.
great portion of their space to what they
are pleased to designate fraudulent census
in the South, based on discrepancies exist
ing between report of 1870 and the pres
ent one, in certain counties in South Caro-
lima and Mississippi. I can see nothing
tangible, in such allegations, but shall in.
yestigate them thoroughly. The marked
increase in those districts can readily be
ACCOUNTED for. Since 1870 thousands have
emigrated to those sections, and the natural
increase III population has been considera-
Bile.
"The census of 1870 in the South was in
accurate. Then did not have the appoint
ing of the enumerators. In the main, the
enumerators were United States marshals,
Northern men unacquainted with the coun-
try. and ignorant, incompetent colored
men.
"They were entirely Independent OF me,
and had no control of their work. This
census has been entirely different, and is
just about perfect. If it is not it will be
made so at the earliest possible moment. I
shall make an investigation by means of
cards Of the three last censuscs. and families
can be traced without any considerable ef-
fort. The census of 1870 was incorrect, az
the investigation will show"

- Hancock is man of destiny. In
1868 Garfield brought bill into Con-
gress to drop the junior Major General.
That was Hancock. 1t passed both
Houses of Congress and was signed by
the President. But before it could be
carried into effect George Fl. Thomas,
the senior Major General, died, and
Hancock going up on grade, WAS no
longer the Junior Major General, and SO
the law could not reach him. Then the
Republicans, still led By Garfield, passed
an act reducing the Major Generals to
three. This was signed by the President,
but before it could be carried into effect
Meade died, and the Major Generals were
reduced to three by God Almighty. FL
nally, a law was passed authorizing the
President to drop one of the Major Gen.
erals. Before it could be carried out, and
Hancock dropped, Halleck died, and
Hancock becoming the senior Major
General, he could not be dropped. The
man who.GHlsaed altthese attempts to

instructions not to let the fact be known

name was q. G. Scudder, and he did not
appear with other reporters at either

he did not accept. We have no doubt
that the man who would act the spy

necessary to help out his side.

If the reports from the election in

is not solid for Garfield at all, but is get

a majority of from one to FIVE thousand.
It is. claimed that they have also elected
four out Of FIVE Congressman and ma.

The Republican Convention for the
Third Congressional District met at
;Newberry on last Saturday morning and
nominated @. J. Stolbrand for Congress
against Cold. Wyatt Aiken. Mr.. Stol-
brand was Superintendent Of the South
Carolina Penitentiary under Moses, and
we, have no doubt is fit exponent of the
Republican party. We have lost sight
of him during recent years, and have for
gotten his record while in Office. We
will, however, look it up, and give it to
our readers. In this race Mr.. Stolbrand
is carrying an empty honor, for he has
no chance of election. Col. Aiken will
beat him by from eight to ten thousand
majority.
