Volume XML—No. 48. The Weekly Enquirer. JOHN n. MARTIN .Editor. COLUMBUS: THURSDAY OCTOBER 13, 1871. —Term* of NabarrifftlOE— One Ycror in ndvauft* - fcu0. Editors Enqn'r ": Much has been wild an 1 wri'ten upo£ the subject of railway*, aad v ha; was the true policy for Columbus to adopt in order to keep pace with her Bister cities, and not ouly retain the trade she now enjoys, but to draw bsck that which she has lost by railroads leadiug to other markets and passing through sec tions from which we farmery derived n largo and lucrative trade. Permit me, through your columns, to suggest to the citizens of Columbus that, while I believe it has been tho houost purpose and desire of every citizen to adopt that policy which would advauce ojr interest the most and in tho speediest manner, in my humble opinion they have failed even to discuss a policy in regard to railways which it ap pears to the writer no citizon, after duly considering the subject, but will admit thut our true interest, and one tliut wo should not delay in uioviug, is to secure the terminus of tho Savanuoh A Memphis and tbo East Alabama A Cincinnati ltail- roads at Columbus. It in apparent, so long as those roads have their terminus at Opelika, it matters not how close a con nection we may have through the Opelika Branch, the trndo of that section along tho line of those roads will bo enjoyed by Opelika. Were tho termini of those roads at this point, and plauterH in Talla- pot-ss, Chambers, Coosa, Talladega aud Randolph counties, Ala., wero able to leave .heir homes, bring their cotton to ;Uis point, transud their business, and re turn the same day, they would adopt this as their trading poiut; and were wo to succeed in securing thin important object, it would odd to our cotiou receipts uot bus than 2."*,000, and I thiuk at lennt 30,000 bales of cotton, Itesidcs giving us ?• trade of $400,000 or $.‘»00,000 ammoliy. Look, if you please, and see how much our trade 1ms been increased by the Mo bile A Girard llail road, and you will readily perceive that the project heroin mentioned will operate in the same manner and throw into our laps equally as good, if not h better trade, which otherwise is lost to ls forever. In securing tho terminus of those roads we would increase our cotton recciptn to 80,000 or 1)0,ooo bales, thereby making it to the interest of those pro jected roads smith of us to coiuo aud com pote for this freight, at tho same time they would bo securing desirable conuec- lions with the West and tho Northwest. Those connections, with other* which wc already have and are about getting, would place Columbus in a position almost be yond competition iu the way of a market for such supplies as the country needs. Columbus can, by proper and speedy movements, secure that all-im(>ortaut thing ; and in speaking thus, 1 speak of that whereof 1 know. Will our citizens awake up to what the writer lieliovcs to bo their true interest, and secure that boon for tbeir city which she is justly entitled to—one of tho leading inland cities in Georgia ? Citizen. The (irrat I’rairlf* Kii'm. Our latest telegraphic accounts repre sented these fires iu Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa to be raping with unabated vio lence. It is probable that the destruc tion of property by these fires will be even greater than tho deer ruction at Chi cago, for a previous dispatch reported that in Wisconsin alone rnoro than three thousand square miles had been swept ovor, the flumes destroying dwelling houses, fences, barns, live stock, and even hundreds of human lives, it is al most certain that tho Iona of life on the prairies has been much greater than it was at Chicugo. The suffering, too, must bo much grantor, as it will be impossible to relievo these scattered victims of tho prairie fires as speedily as aid was sent to Chicago. A terrible edami 4 ./ lias be fallen tho Northwest, especially on tho western aide of Lake Michigan—tbo full extent of which ennnot bo known until the limits of tbo hnrnt districts aro accu rately ascertained and tho details collect ed. Underwood aud MadJox, two of tbo young nen imprisoned at Raleigh, N. C., on fresu charges, aftor they had sued out warrants against tho United Htates Mar shal and his Deputy, for arresting and imprisoning them wrongfully in the first ir stance, wero released from jail on Sat urday, the 7th instant, and on Monday they went before tho grand jury of the county, laid their cuse before that body. 4ud a true bill was at onct found agaiust the Marsha's for imprisoning them con trary to law. The grand jury is com posed of a majority of negroes apd wliito ,tauicalx. It is understood that tho case will uot be tried before next spring. ltus'fII Cosaty, Ala. Tho Democrats of this county havo aounuated au excellent ticket for county officers, and feel suro that they can elect it ovor any kind of opposition if tho Democratic voters will ouly go to the polls. The difllculty in Russell in every election since “reconstruction” has been in getting the white men to vote their strength. They are especially slow at tho Girard box. Let our friends in tho whole county revive their old interest in elec tions, and manifest again the activity and seal which formerly characterized them, and they will complete the work partially effected in November last. They have only onco to carry a county election, and with this assuruuce of their strength their success in future contests will be au easy matter. They have now a most propi tious occasion for tho good work, and have only to bestir themselves on Um day of the eleoiion to accomplish it Tin: NEW WAR OX THE fAUPKT-BAfiUKKS. Additional reports from Washington are confirmatory of the statement that the Grant Administration contemplates the displacement of tho corrupt carpet-bag officials in the Southern Htates, as a means of conciliating tht> native popula tion. It is possitivolv stated that Attor ney General Akcrtuan is to resign and take the lead in this warfai c in Georgia, which conic mplatcs tho nbaiidonnient of Gov. 1 iullock to whatever fate the Demo crats may have in reserve for him; the breaking up of the State ltoad lease ; the squelching of Foster Blodgett s claims to a seat in the United Htates Senate ; and the removal of the leading carpcl-baggors holding Federal positions in Georgia. Tlicro ure a number of cirenmstances indicative that there is something more then mere sensation or speculation in these reports. Only a few days ago wo bad retorts thut Gov. Bullock (after an inter view with Gen. GrAnt) had made up his mind to oppose tho Administration. The threatened declaration of martial law in South Carolina is uguinst the wish and advice of the carpet-hag Governor, whom tho proclamation pronounces incompe tent to protect the people from the Ku- Klux! Wnrumth, carpel-bag Governor of Louisiana, was “whistled down the wind” several inonll s ago. Holden's new paper at Washington—which was heralded os a champion of the Southern carpet-baggers —hud week came out iu deuuuciation of them. Repudiation of the carpet-baggers and their acts is demanded by the Greeley wiug »f the Radical party, whom it is tioc- osHgry to up|roHsu. The paper known r.s the Administration organ at Washington (the litji*'Vimh), ’n noticing tho arrest ot I'oi.l ji lilodpott ou (barges of swindling the State, lest Mock said: “Foster Blod gett has got into trouble again. lie has been nr rusted on a series of charges, which, if true, ought to send him to tho penitentiary, a place for which ho seems to be entirely qualified. It is fortunate that the United Slates Senate bas been saved the Reamlal and disgrace of admit- *ing him to its membership." Those are all “straws," but they all incline in the same direction, and may sorvo to show which way the wind is blowing. It seems to be an “ill wind" to tho carpet-baggers, bringing them no good, liowever freight ed it may be with relief for tho outraged and plumb—cd people of tho South. This crusade against the carpet-baggers would doubtless ho a jmlitic one for the Grant Administration, ami thut is another consideration that helps to give it pluusi- bility. The good faith of the movement is quite aiiother matter—one thut politi cians as soulless ns Grant and his advisers will never take into tho necmiut. They want n “scape gout” to propitiate tho people who nro clamoring agaiust the most corrupt Federal Administration that ever disgraced the country, ami the carpet bag officials stand ready bound for the sacrifice. All good and honest men will rejoice over tbeir doom, however well convinced they may ho that those who otler up tho sacrifice should themselves immediately he sacrificed ou the same altar. It is politic, moreover, hocausa the Radical carpet-baggers and the Radical negroes arc very whore in tho South in a snarl, and w ill no longer work harmoni ously together. Tho negroes have the votes ; the carpet-baggers uro few iu numbers, and have mnv lest the iuiluonce ovor tho negroes which they once pos sess-. <1. They have becomo a “disturbing element in the Radical party of the South, and treating them as such will rather strengthen than weaken tho party. We aro not, therefore, surprised at tho reports that the carpot-baggers, having outlived thoir usefulness to tho G.unt Administra tion, will now have tu .ret ire and sink to their proper level, going back covered will* corruption to their dens of infamy at the North—realizing tho fate of the Dutchman's pig : ‘•Wliili* !••• Ih-I In- lived in clover. The Savannah Advertiser's Waahington special of Saturday says that the Presi dent makes no secret of his intentions to enforce the Ka-Klnx lsw, sa in North and South Carohn all over the South; also, that a delegation of carpet-baggers from Georgia are in Washington, telling terri ble stories of Ku-Klux outrages, and (urging Federal intervention. warti.il law in tiii: so urn. The proclamation of President Grant, in reference to the condition of affairs iu South Carolina, sounds the note of warn- iniijg. It is believed to be bis design to follow it up l»y a proclamation of murtiul law as soon as I ho five days of graco al lowed have expired. Il« has not waited for an application from its Executive bo- fore thus interfering in the domestic af fairs of South Carolina, its the Federal Constitution requires him to do. Thut instrninont, in tho 4th section of the 3d Article, authorizes the United States Gov ernment, “ou the application of the Leg islature, or of the Executive when the Legislature cannot bo convened,'' to pro tect a State against invasion or domestic violence. Tho htutu authorities are made judges of tbc necessity of Federal inter vention, and only necessity is deemed a warrant lor intervention on their applica tion. But Prcruuent Grant spurns tho restraints of tho Constitution and relies upon tho nnr'»nstitu.ional Ku-Klux act for Ins warrant. The Radical triumphs iu Pennsylvania and Ohio, occurring two or tbron days before tbo issuance of tho proclamation, insured him that the peo ple of tho North were willing to suHtaiu more Executive uud Congressional usur pation for tbo “regulation” of the South ern States; and the results of the Texas election, coming iu when tho proclama tion whs issued, admonished him thAl tho people of the South needed such addition al rcgulntiug to muke them vote the Rad ical ticket. This is the secret of the proclamation, and the same considera tions w ill prevail in causing similar pro ceedings against the other Southern Status. Military rule is about to be re. established over a largo portion of the Union in a time of profound peace! But will this hntsh and ty rani cal meas ure strong thou tho party that resorts to it ? Not it the people of the United States have tho spirit of their ancestors. Like Jefferson a “fire bell at midnight," it ought to aronso them to the danger of popular liberty aud the bold encroachment* *>f a despotism. They ought to see that this great stretch of Federal power threat ens the liberty aud right* of every State, and demands the postponement of all mi nor issue* until the supremacy of the Constitution and the integrity of our sys tem of government can be restored. In Texas, the Radical Governor luw de clared martial law “on his own hook,” and this act of his seems to be meeting from some of his own party tho kind of sturdy resistance which we hope to see Republi- cans elsewhere making to the usurpation of Ueu. Grant. Tho following is a tele graphic report of remarks made in the Texas Legislature, on the 14th inst., by Mr. FI unity, a Radical Representative from Galveston: “I shall vote against the Governor’s proclamation of martial law, because 1 think it illegal. I will not he deterred from expressing my opinion against the proclamation by the cry of having gone ever to tbe Democracy. I shall vote against it because I am a Republican, aud lugnrd the proclamation as destructive to the party, and subversive of the Constitu tion and liberties of the people.— Tho Governor has mado a mistake. 1 will i. jt bo compelled, under a party lash, to endorse aiul ratify tbo error. My county bas increased its Democratic ma jority from 100. two years ago, to -,000 now. The increase is caused by enforc ing just such illegal and irregular decla rations of martial law as we aiu now con sidering.” The citizens of Luuipkin last week voted, almost unanimously, a town sub- ription of ten thousand dollars to tbo stock of tho Raiuhridge, Cuthbert uud Columbus Railroad. Edward 11. Stillwell, aged 14, a son of Rev. R. H. Stillwell of Romo, Gu., com mitted suicide near that city ou tho KUh inst., by hanging himself with a very si.mil cord from the limb of n poach tree. It is considered doubtful whether he in tended to kill himself. Michael Fhclun, ths celebrated billiard player snd manufacturer of bilhard tables, died in New York ou Saturday before last.

McAllister, of the United States Army, in a letter to the New Yoik Citi/.o.M, is our friend and fellow citizen, Muj. 'J nonius G.

Wo *..vre ihuu half suspect thut hud General McAUistcr prosecuted his enquiries hu would buvo found the “rebel scout” he saw lilting so calmly iu his rear and “G6U. Gordon's uid” were one and tho same person ; but just about tho tituo the General was making those enquiries it was not everywhere considered the safest thiug in the world to be known as a “rebel scout." We append that part of the General s letter which refers to “Lieut. Jones': After the breastworks bad been pushed forward, and when I was giving directions south N< to Col. Trice, of tho buveuth New Jersey Volunteers, to bring bis regiment lo tbe left and throw ap works along the Arm strong Mill road, 1 saw a Major sitting ou his horse to my rear, lie saluted me and remarked— “General, I almost look a rebel officer." “Why did you not altogether do it?*’ was my reply. He said, “The rebel officer wus well armed.” “So ore you,” I answered; “and who “1 huvo charge of the picket line in front.” “Then,” said I, “you belong to the Second Division ?

Gordon, who was watching my movements through a field glass, or dered them not to fire, snying, “That man looks too honest to be shot down like a dog.” Lieut. Jones said that had they fired, uot one of us would have been left. In a conversation with Gen. Gordon since, that battle was alluded to. I asked him if be bad a Lieut.

The officers of Kiiig Victor Emiunnuel havo given notice that they require the buildings and premises of tbo convent St. Andre, near the (Juirinul, for the purposo of enlarging His Majesty’s stables. Tho Jesuit Fathers years ago located tho American College in Romo on tho St. Ai.dre Grounds. This establishment, which has already attained a very nour ishing and popular position amongst the ooclehinsticiil seminaries of tho city, w ill be disturbed should .ho Indian official or- dor be carried iui-> effect. The knowledge of this fact enusos tbe Italiun Cabinet to hesitate in affixing tho necessary Ministerial endorsement to the King’* order. The radical republican journals reproach tbe Ministers in Revere terms for this hesi tation. Tho writers ask “Why should tho King or his Ministers halt or hesitate before tho doors of tho Convent St. Andre after his nldiers have cannonaded mo gates of Romo ?" Tho order which was recently issued by His Holiness the Pope, to tho effect that tbo eouveiits shall yield to force only In their resistance to such demands, applies to nil monastic institutions witluu the city bouudary.

It snggosts that no Democratic audidato bo rominntod for 1872. It snys there is no national procodent for such a course, but tbo experiment is not au nu- tried ouo, and cites the canipaigu of last, full, it then asks, why should not nn ex periment that proved so successful in breaking the power of Radicalism in Mis souri be employed to break tho powor of Radicalism in tho Union? Why should not tho whole country find deliverance from a party thut iu essentially proscrip tive, oppressive, unconstitutional and vio lent iu its policy aud practice in the same 11'oet ivo way in which a single State found such deliverance? Tho result of the Missouri election of 1870 was not in deed a Democratic victory, hut it was cer tainly a Radical defeat; and tho abolition of disfranchisement, tho subsidence of animosities, tho restoration of concord aud good will among tho people, aud tho revival of a cheerful interest in public af fairs and iu local enterprises which fol lowed that defeat, nro consequences which vindicate the wisdom of tho exper iment in Missouri, and at least suggests its repetition iu a larger field. It thinks the adoption of this policy would divide the Republican party ; that the liberal ol- miont in that party would nuiniuato a candidate in opposition to Grant, whom the Democrats could support, and the ro- sult would ho a majority of Democrats 1 Liberals iu Congress, which, while differing materially Irom a Democratic victory, would be an inestimable im provement on the present order of things. HoiiA('Ki),—Wo arc glad to soo that our auti-“uo\v departure' friends in this Stato and elsewhere are so well pleased with the N. Y. and Illinois Democratic platforms. They havo been greatly exercised in spirit for some months lost. thoNorthcn Democ racy should rush pell-mell into Radical ism—a matter which never gave us the least concern—but appear now fully sat isfied with the course of the conventions in the two Slates named ill iguoriug the constitutional amendments. This is just what wo supposed the party North would do and felt assured that tho Southern De mocracy would acqiiiewca in its action; hence we have felt no uneasiness ou tho Niihje«'t, hut, to the contrary, havo often remonstrated against the excitement that ovor-RUspicions politicians have boon cre ating at tho South ns not only premature but unjust to the Northern Democracy.— We have no doubt tho Now York platform will be substantially adopted by tlio imtioii- al convention of tho party; and if ho, both sections will bo able to work togeth er in tbe election in |>erfoct harmony.

How New Jersey Got Out or the United States.—(From the Newark Cou rier', Ort. 'J.—The origin of tho allusions to New Jersey as a foreign country is said to be us follows : After the downfall of the first Napoleon his brother Joseph, who had been King of Spain, and hif nephew, Frinco Murat, son of the King of Italy, sought refuge in this country, and brought much wealth with them.— Joseph Bonuparte wished to build a pala tial residence here, but did not desire to become * citizen, as he hoped to return to Europe. To onablo him os nn alien to hold reid estate required a special uot of Legislature. Ho tried to gut one passed for his benefit in sevornl Htates,but failed. He was much chagrinod, especially l>e- oauso Pennsylvania refused. After this ho applied to the New Jemcy Legislature, which body granted both him and Murat tho privilege of purchasing land. They bought a tract at itordentown, and built magnificent dwellings, and fitted them up in tL ie most costly manner. Ruro paint ings, statuary, Ac., were profuse, and se lected with care, and the grounds laid out with exquisite taste. Joseph Bonaparte's residence was, per haps, the finest in America. Thousands of people visited it from nil parts of tbe country and wore always treated courte ously. He was profuse with his money, the little town. The Philadelphians, find ing that he hod apparently no end of money, aud that he used it to benefit business generally, regretted, when it was too late, thut they hud refused to let him locate among themselves; and, to keep up their mortification, would always taunt Jerseymen with having a King—with im porting the King of Hpnin to rule over them. They wore called Spaniards aud foreigners on this account. But these taunts harmed no one, ns tbo Jerseyiuen lost nothing by their altering him to net tle among them ; and tbo term “foreign- er,” jokingly applied to Jerseymen, has oome down to us long after its origiu has been forgotten, oxeept by a few men of during the reign of Louis Pbillippo, we believe—both Bonaparte and Murat believe—both Bonaparte and Murat found they could safety return to Europe, so they sold out and returned. Minn bo arrange schedules of the M. i E. and M. A G.

A Fitter* of Demolition. The following is furnished by a corrcs- E oudcnt of the New York Tribuno; I avo just returned from tho ghastliest promenade over scon in tho world. From Congress street to Lincoln Park and be yond to Wright’s Grove, four miles of what was last week the business and most vigorous city of tho West, there is now wide-spread desolation, marked by scorched and calcined chimneys, by , nil mounds of glowing brick and stono, covered liko a wintry plain with a fall of whiteniug ashes. Tho vastness and monotony of tho vio.v is us wearisomo and depressing ns that of tho desert. Former ly every quarter of tho city had ita dis tinctive character, And along tho hanks of Luke Michigan, to the south of the river, roso tho at:\toly mansions of the men whoso energy and industry made Chieugo what it was. Few streets iu nuy city could present so uniform a display of wealth and taste iu their residences ns Wuhash ami Michigan a venues. In tho space consumed on throe sides by tho Luke aud Chicago river, nml on tho Houth by Van Bui an street, there wore em braced some of the fiuest business houses ou tho continent, and a higher uvorago of beautiful aud costly architecture than had been applied in tho world to pur- ot trade. Along tbe river on either side tlie tail ungainly forms of (he olova- to.s, those monstrous growths of Die com merce of the Northwest, mi r re wed their Uwurd angles in the tuibid water iu uv of un tin inhered keels. In the north divisions the ground to tho west was oc cupied by large mani.facturing establish ments, aud to the oast by the modest and tasteful houses of the trading classes. All this variety and distinction lias boon ob literated in a day by tho lovoling hand of tho confffgration. The loveliest garden on tho nvuuuo, just below my window, is as squalid and miserable with the wild trampling of tho hoofs of this disaster us any buck yard of a soap boiler on Canal street. Tho wrotehod tenement houses, which sheltered the laboring poor, are now clean and while m their ashos, ami their chiuiiicys form a shapeless monu ment. There is equality at last between hovel and palace iu Ilnur shrouds of deso lation. What most impresses one in tho aspect of tho burnt district is its utter loneliness. Tho dobris which encumbered the streets tho day after the fire has iu n great meas ure been cleared away. The sidewalk* aro somewhat lit*crcd still by tho ruins, but tho circulation is perfectly froo through out the quarter. In tho centre of tho city there are a certain numho. of curious spectators lounging and chatting among t he rugged mid tottering walls. There are many of the buildings in this quarter which wero ho strongly Imilt that their shells si ill stand stubbornly delimit alter all the fury of tho conflagration—as the Tribuuo Office ami the Custom House. The Court House is still imposing iu its mien, which it took tweuty years to build muU twenty minutes to burn. Tho great Pucifie Hotel aud tho Lyou Block attract most attoution from the msthetic tourists and idlers. They aro certainly very pic turesque, and ouo may oven say beautiful, with their cold gray walls, blotched hero uml there with au angry staiu ol' smoko like a patch of JiohorN, and tho pale hi no or inottlod sky seen through thoir rifts and wide windows. But when you get away from tho centre of the town and cross over to the North Division, it ih most striking to see how sudden u silence and solitudo has fallen upon this great uml once beautiful suburb. You oan drive for au hour over the smoot h uml firm Nicholson pavement, very little damaged by the fire, ami see scarcely a living thiug in all tho ashen waste. 1 saw an old man up to his knees in the ashos of an extensive building, fishing out some pots aud kettles. He looked up uud thou dropped his rusty-looking tiu ware, os if he had boon cuught robbing a grave. A few clover fellows have already invented au apparatus for ilftiug safes out of the tiro, uud you may occasionally moot them moving about in search of a job. But throughout these wide miles of wide streets there is less life, less movement than ill a country road, and the poople who meet unconsciously salute each other as in * desolate forest. The houses iu this region being iu a grout measure dweuingH aud workshops, were not so strongly built as iu the central purt of the city, and so the few walls that resisted tho fury of tho flumes havo fallen flat and scarcely more thau fill the celluis—so that au you drive ovor the streets they seem like causeways raised to t-'ivcroc tho abyss of fire and ashes on either hand, 'lhe chief laud- in arks are the skeleton churches, whose walls still stand open to tho suulight and the breeze, like tho ghosts of tho temples which have suffered martyrdom. The slim aud graceful tower of tbo Water Works also remaius—domineering tho stricken plain aud guardiug the entrance of the enormons Tunnel, which is the glory of Chicago. But if you cross the river once more and go into the west side into that portion of tho city which survives, you can un derstand why there is such a solitude among the ruins. These energetic and practical poople havo no time to waNte among the tombs. As soon ns tho fato of their houses and place of business was decided, they hurried ovor to tho quarter which still stood, and began all overagAin tbeir battle with fortuno. Every availa ble ground floor and garret iu Jefforson, Court and Clinton streets, and all that neighborhood, have been seized ou by tbe dispossessed establishments.

During a lengbty oon- veratiou with him, Mr Sumner related an interview, the last he ever had with Ed win M. Stanton, the late Secretary of War. It took place nhortly prior to Mr. Stanton’s death.

Iff.—The Kn-Klux proclamation to-day turns out to be a most important step in a now policy to t It is no r known positively that for more than six weeks, or evor sinco tho Ku-Klux Com mittee of Congress returned from the Houth tho admiuiHtratiou bos had under consideration a policy to he enforced, not only against the so-called Ku-Klux organ ization, hut in the administration of Fed eral civil affairs in the Houth. There was no subK'autial difference of opinion nun ng the Frosidout uud the Cabinet and the lea<#. t g Representatives who favored this new order of things, except as to the time when it should be enforoed, and that accounth for the delay until after the Oc tober elections. Tho proclamation is, therefore, bnt the fororuuuor of martial law and the sus pension of tho writ of habeas corpus, os provided by the fourth section of the aot of April 20th, which says that any Kn- Klux organization or combination shall bo dceniod a rebellion against tho gotBrn- meiit, the limits of whioh shall be pre scribed by proclamation commanding the iiisiirgentH to disperse before the privi leges of the writ of habeas corpus are sus pended. A prominent minister of tbe Gospel, uml alao a loading Republican, stated to day that tho arrangements of the civil and military authorities for wholesale arrests of membera of tho Kn Klux Klan had been perfected, and that the country would be surprised, if the proclamation wore not heeded, by the arrest of well known Hunt hern men. Inasmuch as it is averred that outrages iu tho South are provoked by tbe corrup tion of office-holders aud tneir plunder of tho people, it is the intention of the Pres ident to begin warfare agniust all corrupt Federal officials, and to invite the co operation of all good Republicans for tbe diHplaceUiCut of had State officials. This is to go hand-in-hand with the enforce ment of the Ku Klux law, nntil it is stated that there is a lasting peace in tho South. [lAJuisciUe Courier.
