Mt. eS. M. ——— The Real Ku-Kiur Kian. Congress is busy devising « plan for re- pressing the alleged outrages in theSouthern States of the celebrated Ka-Klax Klan. The object is a praiseworthy one, but the ef- ture of Massachusetts have om =e bribe-taker—was one of ite Directors, , Davis, and a few of their friends bought that railroad ia November, 1863 ‘withy all = | ite stock and property, for from five to eight hundred thousand dollars, Having dono this, they proceeded to issue the bonds of this Buffalo, Bradford and Pittsburgh road to thé aifiount of from one iniTlion and three quarters to two millions 6f doflars, secured by « mortgago, of which Douwan B. Eaton was gold trustee; afd there bonds they divided among themselves, Exton getting “full share, Tho road had always beon unprofitalld, and com more to run at tho time—nnd has over sineo—than it wae ablo to cara, Thoir next step was to pass through the Board of Dircctors of the Brie Railrond— of which it is but just io say that Jay Good and Jars Prien, Jr, wero not then members —a resolution dirveting the President and Sccrctary of the Erie to lease the Buffilo, Bradford and Pittsburgh road and ite rolling stock for the term of four hundred and ninety-nine years, tho Erie Company agroe- ing to pay as rent all tho running expenses and future cost of repairs and construction, ed wate tO? and also the principal and interest at seven ity ct Bens Welkiy, some’ | per cont, per annum of the bonds of the Buf. falo, Bradford and Pittsburgh for two mil- None of doltars, or thereabouts, which, as we have alrendy stated, had just been dis- tributed among Eaton, Davis, and their allies ; sod on these bonds the Erie Company was to endorse its guarantee. These bonds being thus endorscd became at once a mer: chantable commodity, and were promptly dls. posed of by their holders, Mr. Donan B, Eaton, the legal adviser of the Erie Com. pany, the trustee of the mortgage, and ono of the conspirators, receiving an ample pro- forts Ly witch It is sought to be attained are | Portion of the plunder. misdirected. Tho real Ku Kluxes who ought te be pat down by national legislation aro ‘The Law Review alleges that Mr. Eaton has been o bold and persistent asailant of sot the ruffians, real or imaginary, whovo the Erie villainies, and that this was a proba- txploits are made so much of, but the Hving, Ges and blood scoundrels in official station, Who are doing thoir best to impoverish and | Peare to be th festroy tho whole fabric of society in the “Bouth, Since the close of the war every Southern Bate has been curred with a swarm of ad- venturers from the North, who, having failed to gain a living at home by elther honest or Wehouest Iabor, and having no reputation except @ bad ove to leave behind them, havo sought this new and untried ficld wherein to retrieve their fottanes. Some had been hangers-on in the wake of our armies, but moro pradenily waited till all the fighting ‘was over, and theu descended on their prey. Taking advantage of the disfranchisoment of the native-born citizens, or availing them- selves of Federal patronage, they have foisted themselves into places of power and profit, which they have fearfully abused, to their own advantage and the ruin of their helpless wietims. From one end of the South to the other ‘cre comes up @ universal ery against the corruption, the extravagance, and the gen- eral maladministration of these adventurers, ‘They have increased taxes tenfold; they “have added enormously to the funded dobt OF Rev Dtateo, esunttin, sliles, aad towns, they are squandering the resources of the country, and afford no adequate protection for either property or lite. The State Government of Florida before the war used to cost the people about forty thonsand dollars s year; it now costs nearly double that amount. In South Carolina the Mate taxation this year will be nearly three millions, or about seven times as much a it used to be under the old order of things, while the total taxes will be ten times as much. The debt of North Carolina was lately increased at single soesion of the Legislature by the sum of thirty-six millions. In Arkansas the annual expendi- ture has been incrcased from threo hundred Qhousand dollara to minetcen hundred thou- sand, besides adding cight millions for rail. road purposes to the permanent debt, In Louisiana the State debt has been increased from thirteen millions to twenty-five mil Uons, and tho local debt of New Orleans aad other towns has been swollen in the same proportion. These evils are palpable and unmistaka- bo, and their baleful influence is wide-roach- tog and universal. What is an occasional teod of viclonce in some remote country place, compared with this grinding oppres sion of the tax.gatherer which crushes all elaases and all kinds of indastry to the earth? If, therefore, Congress really wishes to tranquillize the South and restore order there lot it reatore to the people the privilege of welf govorament. Lot the American doctrine ef no taxation without representation be en forced, and let a stop be put to the tyrann'ecal exactions of the carpet-bagger fraternity, When this shall have been done, there will bo no necd of lation against Ka-Klux eutrages, ‘The Southern people will them Ives take care of that maiter, and maintain pecce and good order without the ald of United States tr 8 OF money. iation Consider this Cesrt to dista Will (he Ber A We ha ono wi the repose of Mr, Douwan B. during his present unexpected and ged absence in Ew rope, But | ‘ insist on bringing him before the public; and while this may be . his misfortuno, It Is no fault of ours, A Bophomorical weiter in the Amerlecn Law Review, who warmly culogizes the Bar Asso: elation of (hiseity, discusses with some detall the well known assault which has been cor. tifled to aa having boen made upon Mr, Eaton in the winter of 1860. ‘Tht: tributes this asseult entively to Mr. ATON'S fidelity to hisduti rounsel of the Board of Health 8 an exposer of oMclal misconduct, and Above all, ea « Lold and persistent assailant of the Uric villainies.” Now, whatever may have been the motive of the alleged Vow infieted upon Mt Esto al,thoro is no evidence thet the Bocallol Evly villainies had anything to do with it; especially sccing that some of th Rreatest Villainies ever connected with th ralvond were coneocted and 1 by Donan B.

Very good; Donmax B. Eaton was its founder, and his acts are accordingly entitled to the first examipation and the most signal chas- tisement. Of all the cants that ever ware canted in this canting world, the cant of religions hypocrisy may be the most disgusting, but the cant of the sham reformers of legal abuses is the most contemptible. ——ie Democratic Fools, Plenty and Noisy. The Mobile Register is one of the amarter journals of tho South. Its editor, Mr. Joun Forsrrm, was quite influentie! in dragging that section of the Union into rebellion, Commenting upon aud commending the re cent letter of the Hon. Linton STRPUENS, expressing opinions not widely different from those which prevalled in Jerrenson Davis's Cabinet, Mr. Fonsyrm declares that in the next Presidential campaign the South will demand that the Democratic party stand by its position of 1bu%, when It assorted that the reconstruction acts were “ unconstitutional, revolutionary, null, and void.” It will be recollected that this clause In the Democrat- je platform thet year was written by Gen. Wavr Harton, a distinguished Confede- rate officer, and that immediately after the adjournment of the Tammany Cou vention ho boasted of his achiovement in the presence of Southern audiences, which grected him with enthusiasm. When they eay they shall demand next year o repetition of the disastrous oxperl ment of 1868, it is hard to tell which to admire the most, the hypocrisy, the audacity, or the stupidity of these architects of ruin, Thely hypocriay is glaringly ex- hibited in the tenderuess they affect to fool for the integrity of the United States Consti- tution, which during four calamitous aud Dloody years thoy did thoir utmost to do stroy. If Mesure. Sroruens, Forsyru, and their followers have, since they threw dowa their arma, learned to entertain as much affection for the Constitution as thoy pro- tend, let them bring forth fruits meet for repentance by obeying its injunctions and holding their tongues. However, the audacity of these men rather transcends thetr apparent hypocrisy, The plank which Hampton forced into the plat yrta_of 1863 proved to be tho trapdoor of @ scaffold on which Gov. Semoun was ex- excuted ju that unfortunate camprign. It was in vain that in his speeches during the canvass Gov. Siy¥MOUR ignored the existence of this clause in the resolutions of the Con. voution, and confined his addresses inainly to questions of trade and finance; he wis killed all the same. And now a few noisy fools in the South who eall themselves Democrats—thongh no more en- Aitled to bo elussed among the disciples of Tuomas Jerrenson than is Lours Ven HvEL—are aiming to force the Democratic party to try this preposterous experiment over again in 18 But perhaps we do these persons injus. i may really believe what the ster asserts, that the merits of the re construction acts covered by Hawrron’s roe olution ought to enter into tho coming Presidential campatgn. If they do be lieve this, then their stwpidi public wonder. The term “ reconstruction acts,” a8 used by Hawrroy, did not embrace the three amendments to the Constitution, for two of thom had not then been fully rath. fled; but it referred execiuaively to the acts of Congress, passed during the firat throe years of JOUNGON’s alministration, for facili tating tho return to the Union of the Con: felorate States. must excite Now, every provision in thore acts looking to reconstruction has spent ite foreo in restoring th proper relations ( States to their » the National Goverament Admit that rome of these provisions were in expedient, proseriptive, aud even of doubt ful coustitutionality: the States bein; wv all in the Union, the repeal of every law which opened the door for their return would not thrust them out again, nor alter their present statas one iota, So plafn is this, that we think those for whom the Register and Mr, SrerMens speak Mean more than they say. If they simply mean that Cougroas ought, by virtue of the suthority conferred fn the Fourteenth Amend Ment, t6 pass a general aot of autinesty, dnd that it ought not, under the pretext of mup- premiog Givotld int the Mouth, and under Golst of fife aumendiient, to enact oppressive and anoétittitutional laws, and confer more than kingly powers pon the President for theirexecution, then they will find that nOt the Northern Democracy only, but an influ. ential share of tho Republicans, concur in opinion with them. But this has nothing to do with the reconstruction acts fn question. Tf they still furtiver hold that all disfranchise- ments on account of the late rebellion, em- bodied in any State Constitution or law, ought to be obliterated, they hardly need to be told that these highly desiraite reforms mat be carried through by the States Shem- selves, and therefore can have nothing to do with a Presidential eleetion. But if, on the othor hand, this class of Southern Democratic donkeys desira the country to understand that s0 soon os thelr party is installed at Wosh- ngton they will troat the three recent constitutional amendments, or either of them, as invalid, and the whole series of re- construction acta ns null and void a initio, and will thereupon override the former and repeal the latter, then, not to put too fine a point upon it, we can aseure these gentlemen that they will find the way to the White House a very hard rond to travel. ‘The Democratic party, as it las been con- stituted and managed for the last eight or ten years, and as it seems to be constituted and managed now, is a subject of curtons in. terest to the Impartial mind. If its leaders were confessed lunatics, bent on work'ng all possible mischief to their cause, they could not outdo what they have done throughout this memorable decade, Have they learned any: thing by the results of tuis long course of folly aud disaster? Or are (he sonsillo men among them bat helpless victims in the grasp of the fools and blatherskites? That is a question which no man ie shrewd enough to answer oe Showing Fight. The Republican Genoral Committen for this city, of which Mr. Greeny is Chainnan, resolved on Thursday evening, by a unani- mous vote after a protracted deLato, that they would not submit to the decree of the State Committee ordering a reorganization of the party here, and the election of anew General Committee to take the place-of the present one. In other words, Mr. Gumeney and Lis associates show fight. This fight has juet reason in it, for less than two years sinee a thorough reorganize tion of the Republicans in New York city took place, Mr. GueeLEy’s General Com ittee was elected under that reorganization. It was clected regularly. The election was as fair ae such clections can reasonably be expected to be. No offence iv eharged againet thie General Committee which re quires it to be turned out of office by supe rior authority aud dissolved. If the pro posed revolutionary change is now sulmithd to, it will afford a preeedeut for any discon. tented faction hereafter to break ap the party and insist upon a new organization as often as the selfish designe of ambitious and intriguing men may be defeated by the ac- tion of the people We congratulate Mr. Greriry upon the manly and straightforward course which his Committee have resolved to take. No other policy would be consistent with relf-reepeot on their part, or with a proper regard fur the intoresis comu: tied totheir cha: the Comumitioe was in earnest in this conclu sion was also evineed by the subsequent resolution respecting the removal from off of Mr. Grinnewt and Gen. PaALarn It will be interesting to soe whether the officers of the Custom House and other placeholders who are engaged in making war upon Mr, Grnevey and his associated Republicans, ia order to force the appoint- ment of delegates from this State who will be favorable to the renomination of Gen Gran by the approaching Republican Na tional Convention, will persist in a course #o certain to divide and destroy the Republican party in this city; or whether they will imi tate GRANT'S action respecting San Domingo, and back out of what is evidently a danger ous blunder. —— Mr. Bret Hants Las lately been the sal ject of a great deal of discussion in the newspa- pers.
