RULING BY FALSEHOOD.
We fear that our people do not appre
ciate tlie enormous villainy of the Gov
ernment Ku-Klux operations. Wa fear
that, loiiK accustomed to witness the
ascendency of wrong over riht, they
have become indifferent as to the course
events are taking. It is in proof that
the pretext for establishing martial law
in ten white counties of South Carolina
is a fubric of falsehood. Quite every
case of violence that has occurred in
them has been traced either to the Kadi
cals themselves, or shown to be such
as might, and do occur, in all sections
of the country. Grant, in his proclama
tion, treats the people of these counties
as rebels against the Government, a
combination, etc. Our Nashville co
temporarv, the Union and American,
has taken the pains to collect facts that
should put even a shameless government
to shame. The Union, a Radical paper,
printed at Columbia, S. C, has been the
chief worker in getting up the Ku-Klux
outrages. Now let us see how the facts
that constitute Grant's rebellion turn
out. We quote from our Nashvillo co
temporary: Bill Hare was diabolically
murdered in Newberry county by a
party of night-riders. The Charleston
News points to the fact that the murder
of Hare was perpetrated by three ne
groes, all of them Radicals, whose names
it gives, and who were arrested for the
crimes, and are now in Newberry jail
awaiting their trial.
The Union states that one McClure
was murdered in Chester county, and
intimates that it was the work of Ku-
Klux. The Chester Reporter states that
McC'lim; was murdered by his father-in-
law, who is now in Chester jail, awaiting
trail.
The Union states that one Lewis
Thompson, a negro preacher, was foully
murdered by Ku-Klux near Jeter s plan
Intinn, on Tiger river, nnd that the friends
of Thompson were prevented by Ku
Klux terrorism, from giving him Chris
tian burial. The Charleston News re
plies that a judicial investigation showed
that Thompson's congregation (colored)
objected to his preaching, and that as
they were nnahle to silence him other
wise, they made awuy with him.
A correspondent of the Union charged
that, the Ku-Klux were riding in f air
field county, and committing divers out
rages. The Winnshnrn Nens denies
emphatically the statement of the Union's
correspondent.
The Union points to the outrages
committed by Ku Klux in York county,
and cites the statement made to Senator
Scott. The Charleston News replies:
"The (irnrul Jury of York county
brought Senator Scott's informants be
fore them, and, after an investigation,
which lasted eight days, reported that,
since last July, there had been only one
case of violence (the chunking of two
colored men which could be truthfully
attributed to the Ku-Klux."
The Union states that a colored wo
man was burned in Fairlield county, and
attributes her death to the Ku-Klux.
The Charleston News shows that when
the matter was int-estigated it was
clearly proven that the murder was
committed by negroes.
A Radical, said by the Union to have
been attacked in Edgefield, comes for
ward voluntarily and swears that no
such attack was made, and that he had
beard of no outrage in the neighbor
hood. Twenty citizens of Edgefield also
testify to the fact that peace and good
order prevail throughout the county.
The Union stated ou the authority of
a letter from a citizen of Sumter, that
a store keeper by the name of Rythen
berger, living fifteen miles from Sumter,
was taken and terribly whipped by the
Ku-Klux, and for no other reason than
his being a Republican." Mr. Rythen
bcrger writes a letter to the Sumter
News denying emphatically that he has
been whipped. He says he wrote the
editor of the Columbia Union denying
that he had been mulested, and demand
ing the name of the person upon whose
authority the charge had been made.
But he has refused to give the name or
correct me statement.
Mr. K. II Ilnyne, Radical) Senator
from Marion county, has addressed a
litter to the United Ilistrii-t Attorney
for South Carolina, in which he says:
My attention has Wn called to the
iro lamation of the 1'resident, calling
on the Ku-Klux. in certain counties, to
surrendi r, etc. Among them the county
of aUrion appears This may be a typo
graphical error: if not, I dciire that "you
have this changed, it possible, as it is
but jut ami fair to the people of Marion,
as no Kii-KIux outrages have ever been
committed in the countr.

TAXATION,
We approve tho resolutions offered by
Mr. Moore, and adopted ly the Chamber
of Commerce yesterday. We fail I to
perceive any good reason why merchants
should pay a larger proportion of tax
than people engaged in other pursuits.
The producer first, and then tho people
who derive their subsistence froin selling,
or manufacturing, or handling. It may
be true that the merchant can get the
excessive tax back from the consumer,
provided the consumer will consent to
pay it. But is not the merchant tax
driving trade from the State, and to the
extent that this is true, is not capital di
verted to other States, and does not this
fact leave our merchants in a condition
where they are less able to pay? If
the excessive tax on this class diverts
trade into other channels and to other
places outside the State, does it not
work an injury to the people generally
as well as to those who pay it 7 It trade
and capital are driven from the State, is
not the ability of the taxpayer to pay
decreased, and is not the wealth of the
State to the extent of this diverted trade,
decreased? We do not assume to be
thoroughly posted trpon -the intricacies
of trade, nnd place these suggestions in
the interrogative form. heir the war
closed, Uttlo remained to the people of
the State except their desolated terri
tory. There was no general trade, 'be
cause the avenues of commerce had been
long closed. The people went to work,
the merchants went to work, everybody
went to work, and despite the most op
pressive Slate government ever known,
thev struggled up to the position
they occupy to-day. Immense debts
hung over the State and clamored
for liquidation, while the fields were
yet fenceless and the purses of
the people empty. Nevertheless,
heavy taxes were imposed, and though
they drained tbe miserable .resources of
the people, they struggled on with a will
that never flagged. Would it not have
been better not to have seized 'tlieir
earnings, but allowed Jioia to accumu
late until they formed a fund that might
betaxed without serious detriment? lhe
fortunes of tbe people are not yet recov
ered, but some of our statesmen seem to
proceed upon the assumption that the re
sources of the State will bear any amount
of taxation. Tho tax-payers are the
backbone of the State. If you break that,
where are your revenues to come from?
It should be this poiicy'of the State to
protect the tax-payer, to cherish him, to
build him up, not to tmpow upon him
burdens that are intolerable. Iu put
ting in motion the machinery of trade
and government, what flass has done
more than the merchants? They sup
plied the struggling planter with the
means of reopenirg his farm, and kept
him up until tbe earth yielded its
fruits. This was 8 noble service, and
should be requited in no such, way as a
double tax. We have always thought
tho discrimination against the mer
chants of Tennessee a great wrong, and
think so yet.
ECLECTIC MAGAZINE,
Those who think that investigations
into the Life of SUakspeare, and criti
cism upon his plays are overworked and
barren themes, would do well to read
Shakspeare and His Times, which
forms the leading article In the J'.clectic
Magazine for November. For those
also who can appreciate such a combi
nation of instruction and entertainment
as is presented by no other periodical,
it would be well to examine' the re
mainder of the table of contents for this
number. They will find such articles as

THE HEW CAMIDATI.
As we have already stated, some of the
Democratic papers of Pennsylvania have
suggested the name of Thomas A. Scott,
the great railway king, as a candidate
for the Presidency on the Democratic
ticket. Of him, the Cincinnati Enquirer
says: There is one thing that can be
said in favor of Thomas A. Scott for
President of the United States, who is
being pressed for the office by Pennsyl
vania journals. As President of the
Pennsylvania railroad he has exhibited
an ability to which we have long been
strangers in the Executive branch of the
Government. He has administered the
affairs of a corporation that now sways
its one hundred million dollars of capi
tal with consumate success, and thereby
gives an evidence of his moral and intel
lectual force. Uulf the ability which
has made the Pennsylvania Central
railroad what it is would have given us a
splendid national administration and
reduced our taxes one-half. Between a
man of brains like Scott and such a
personage as Grant there is no compari
son." The Pittsburg Post has brought out a
candidate for President. In its last
issue it says: The nomination of
Thomas A. Scott by the Post for Presi
dent, has already caused a stampede
among the machinists of the Republican
party. They don't know exactly how to
take it. They have been praising him
so long and ardently that it will not do
to abuse him. There is not a county in
the State in which he is not well and fa
vorably known to the leading men in
both parties, and be will be accepted as
a peace offering, in the contest of 172.
The orlice now seeks the man.
It is stated, and it is true, that Rhode
Island did not accept the Federal Con
stitution until an impatient nation
threatened to divide its territory between
Massachusetts and Connecticut; and it
will not accept the spirit of the recent
amendments to tbe Conetilolion until
forced by national authority. Natural
iul citizens throughout the Union should
remember that the aristocratui faction
whii'u opposes the enfranchisement of
the Germans and Irish of Rhode Island
is petted and fostered by Useless S.
Grant
A Wahhiniivok telegram says: The
question now here seems to bo whether
General Bulloch will be punished for
converting the, quarter of a million of
Government funds to his own use. Post
master Paulding, of the army, for the
simple offense of transferring his funds
from one depository to another upon his
own responsibility, was tried by court
martial, discharged from the army, and
sentenced for a number of years to the
State's prison; but the powerful influ
ence of the Freedmen'i Bureau is thrown
around Balloch, and, although he is
already guilty of embezzlement, accord
ing to the law, it is probable that he will
escape even a trial.
Thi Herald learns from an eye wit
ness that the Western fires have been
Kreatlv exaeiterated. and that they have
not been so extensive and destructive as
to disturb the general prosperity of the
country. The proclamations, however,
of the Governors of Michigan and W is
enn.in establish the fact that, while hun
dreds of lives have been lost by these
fires, thousands of people, including
..nw I,.lti1naa vnmpn and children, are
loft homeless and destitute, and in need,
not so much of relief for their imme
diate wants, as for their necessities for
the long whiter that is just before them.
Tub Rnard of SiiDervisiug Inspectors
of Steamboats have agreed on several
amendments to tbe law, which will be
put into the form of a report and' sub
mitted to the Secretary of the treasury
for transmission to Congress. 'It is by
no means certain that the requests ot
th nmnv steamboat owners who have
been before the Board will be complied
with, though It is evident that the luw
will be materially modified. The Eaard
have thoroughly discussed the merits of
the various life-saving inventions!
It is said that Grant has made a funny
mistake in his proclamation of martial
law in South Carolina. Union county,
where most of the Ku-Klux outrages are
said to have been perpetrated, was
omitted, while Marion, a county of much
Rmlieal lovaltv and many docile darkies,
was placed under the ban. In this our
m.mllin Presidential rambler Has exnio
ited bis UBual profound ignorance of the
affairs of the government of which he is
tbe ornamental Chief Magistrate.
The Chicago Times eaya: "Most people
who have been burned out in Chicago
are not worth vry much, but those who
have not been burned out at all, are bd
solutely of no account, and are very
properly regarded with rjisdain." This
is the compliment a Chicago paper pays
its patrons. And go, the millions that
have been sent to Chicago nave been
given to people who are not worth much,
and are of no account.
A cotehporary says the story about
tbe recovery from the ruins of the Chi
cago fire of a Bible with all its leaves
burned excepting a chapter of Lamenta
tions, in which reference is made to an
isolated city, and so on, Is all very well
for the time being, but like most sin
gular coincidences," it should not be re
peated too often. Like that celebrated
Phoenix, which has risen from its ashes
from time immemorial, such coinciden
ces are ''played out."
PisPATCiits from Columbia, South
Carolina, state that Marshal Johnson
has in custody a hundred and twenty
persons charged with belonging to the
Ku-Klux oreanization. Some of these
have surrendered to the civil authori-
fie There is a Ereat panic in the
country over which martial law reigns'
and people are fleeing to the mountains
of North Carolina and Oeorgia Irora
Tork and Spartansburg counties.
A Northkbk Republican paper says:
The loss of Texas to the Republicans
in spite of the Ku-Klux act of Congress,
the practical proclamation of martial
law, and the thorough going usurpations
of flovcrnmr Payis jn behalf of Grant's
administration proves that all the South-
ern States, with perhaps one or two ex
ceptions, will vote against Grant should
he be the Presidential candidate in 182."
A Washisoton special aays: It seems
the proceedings of the United States
Courts against the Mormons is nothing
but a farce after all, aud that Judge
McKcan's instructions are to simply re
cord bis judgment against the peculiar
fraternity, and not to enforce them if
the people make any determined show
of resisting.
Om of our cotemporaries says, in
reference to a certain matter, that the
Radicals are doing themselves injustice.
Not to put too fine a point on it, we
think they cao only do themselves injus
tice by doing something right.

New York, October 25. Subscriptions
for the Chicago sufierers reported by
the Chamber of Commerce yesterday
amounted to f2M,20p. The total sub;

relief of Chicago amounts to $3,272,851.
The citizens' joint investigation com

terday afternoon, and made a final dis
position of the reports of the sub-com

have been virtually closed for the

man of the Joint Investigation Commit
tee of Aldermen, Supervisors and oiti-J
zens, has been asked to call a public

Brooklyn, Octobor 25. Tho coroner
yesterday impaneled a jury to hold an
inquest oVer the bodies of John French
and James McQurrity, men who were
killed on East River bridge tower by the
fulling of a derrick on Monday after
noon, The investigation will- take
place to-dny. The condition of Corne
lius Lynch, John Cook and William
Ilines, who are- at the city hospi
tal, was most favorable to their
recovery, but Honry Doberty, the
unfortunate man who fell from a
height of forty feet, is regarded as fa
tally Injured. Tho President of the
Bridge Company, Mr. Kmgsley, states
that the aucideut was caused by the
breaking of the Iron girder, which went
aronnd the top of the derick, and not by
any breakage of the wood. Tbe iron
band in 'question parted where it was
welded together.
A large mass meeting was held last
flight at the rink, in accordance with the
call addressed to the citisena of this
city, in opposition to the special legisla
tion conferring unlimited power on irre
sponsible commissions, and to the in
competent, extravagant and corrupt
course of the city and county officials.
Addresses were made by prominent citi
zens. Mr. Henry C. Riggs stated that he be
lieved there were discrepancies in the
statements coming from respectable
public sources, touching the city and
county,, but the .officials made the city
debt eight millions, while this examina
tion of public documents satisfied him
that the actual debt was thirty millons.
Resolutions were adopted calling for
the appointment of a committee of fifty
to demand a full exhibition of all ac
counts of the city and county.
