Edgefiteld, March 27,1872. . I
- The Ku-Klox Arrests.
We can account for the continuance of
the Ku-KUiXv arrests in the 4jp-country
upon only one hypothesis, viz, that the
government is anxious to. foroe the white
people into rebellion, and are determined
to prevent even a legal and const?uiimial
resistance to the wrongful acts of the ad
ministration. We had hoped, against hope,
that the appetite of the partisan and dem
agogue was appeased, aud that this poor
State would, be allowed an opportunity of
recovering- from ?he alanna and losses of j
last autumn. Bot it is too plain that the
.bloody drama is'not-yet' ?tan epd; ?nd.
that the last scenes in the terrible history,
will be more agonizing than the "first.*
During the Ku-Klux trials at Columbia
it was proved that.there had been outra
geous violence on the part of a few rash
men. These were swiftly und severely
punished. Nay ! some of the accused were
convicted upon evidence which would not
haye led an impartial jun' to fincha poor
negro guilty of chicken stealing. At the
time tkattke .writ ?ai hakea* corpus was
suspended; the communities so stripped of
all protection, were profoundly quiet The
Federal cavalry, riding through the vil
lage streets arid across the parching fields,
gathered together a host of victims, and
of these, as we ha ve said, a number,'justly
or unjustly, languish within the walls of a
Northern prison. .When the trials were
over ?* was.thought that the thirst"for^
vengeance "was satisfied ; the more espe
cially as the General Assembly made in
stant provision for pensioning the widows
and orphans of persons killed on account |
of their political opinions. Some weeks
igo, how.?Ver*' ?r?sh'arrests were ordered.
A number of citizens of Union were seized | 1
and committed to jail, without any knowl
edge.of the offences with which they were,
charged. These now lie in the Charleston .
House of Correction awaiting their trial. *
In Chester County arrests were made in
like manner, and on Sunday Laurens coun
ty was the sufferer, in the words of our
correspondent: "There is a.reign of ter
" ror in Laurensville ; all the roads lead- [ I
" ing out of town are strongly guarded,
" and no one is allowed to pass." No hon- j '
est man can say these arrests were neces
sary for the prevention of crime or the I
preservation of - quiet. The State was ^
tranquil. The farmers, thinking little of
politics, were striving hard to obtain the
means of meeting the heavy demands
winch the Stale Government, makes upon
them. The merchants 'were busily work
ing lo increase their trade. The laborers
were toiling in the fields. Undaunted by
?xcessive taxation and inclement seasons,
the whole people of thc up-country were
?ndeavoring to make tin's a prosperous
rear. And what has come of it? They
ire harried 'by the Federal soldiery. They
ire thrust into dungeons. Arrested with
rat warrant, they are condemned before
iheir trial begins. Wc repeat that if the
jrant-Scott party demanded vengeance
ipon this people, they had their fill last
pinter ; if they required material for
dump speeches and sensational leaders,
?hey could surely lind it in the evidence j a
riven by their willing witnesses in Colum
bia. This forces us back to our original
proposition, that the administration, driv
en to despair by thc awakening opposition
)f the Liberal Republicans of the East
md West, are bent on contriving a " new
rebellion" which shall enable them to
overcome their enemies by proving that
the time has not come for Amnesty, or foi
Justice,, or for the Supremacy of the Con
stitution. This also will serve the pur
poses of thc members of the State gov
ernment, in whose minds any opposition
to any law, (however it may conflict with
the constitution, which, they and their
party framed,) is 'an act of open hostility,':
which cannot bit palliated or excused; an j
act no less outrageous than the Ku-Klux
ism which they so fondly describe as the;
characteristic of South Carolina civiliza?
tion. The arrests in the up-country are
expected to strengthen the hands of Gen
eral Grant by demonstrating the cxistepce
of disorder in the South ; and they are
expected to strengthen Governor Scott by
reminding the white people of the State
that any scrutiny of thc acts of thc Leg
islature, or the measures,of the State gov
ernment, will be treated as hostility to the
Radical party, and will subject the people
to a new persecution.
It remains to consider what, in this
emerg'-nqy; is best to be ilone. For thc?
people at l?irge there is b?t one sale poli
cy-that of absolute quiet, and an implic
it obedience to whatever processes niay.j
issue.- This will prove as wise as it isiii
trmsically right. Bot the citizens who
have been arrested also claim our care.
They are accused, not of a political offence,
but of a violation of the law. We be
lieve them'.to be innocent, and shall con
tinue so to believe " them 'until they are'
proved to bc guilty. In the meantime we
can best serve them by recognizing the
broad truth, so often asserted in these col
umns, that there is only one code for white
man and for black man, and that the
Democrat who doe? wrong must be con
demned as sharply as tho guilty Republi
can. Let it be understood, and let it bc
shown by our actions, that- we feel that
neither name nor color should shield any
man from the juBt consequences of his
actions, arid the w?rst forms of political* j
warfare will, in time, come to an end, be
cause they will wholly fail of accomplish
ing thc purposes for which they were de
vised.-Charleston News;
An Embarrassing Situutiun.
An exchange informs us that the old
philopcena trick has been revived in Ala
bama, where ".the .young lady takes *a
double almond in her teeth and the young
mau bites it off." That sort of thing
used to be popular in Doylestotfn, Pa. ;
but it is hardly ever tried any more, since
tho painful accident which occurred at a
philopcena' party last winter. Thc lady
who held the almond; between her teeth
was somewhat advanced in years and not
a little dilapidated. The almond was un
commonly toucfl, and the man who nib
bed was in deadly earnest. He closed his 1
tectb on it and pulled. It would not give. '

Shocking Scene iu a ."tiena pe ri e."
A man of the name of Venturelli, from
Reggirt, Modena, was going his habitual
round in one of thc menageries in Borne,
md giving thc public all the particulars
concerning tho ferocious animals belonging
to the menagerie, when, on arriving at
the cage of thc lions, thc unfortunate idea
jame into his head to pass his arm through
the bars and caress one of the "lions: The
animal seized th? forefinger of Ins right
hand with Iris teeth ; in order to free his
right hand, Venturelli passed his left ann
through the bars, thc other lions sprang
upon him, and in one' instant, before assis
tance could bc procured, mutilated him
horribly with their claws and teeth. A
Bcene of indescribable confusion took place.
A cry of the animals were loose was soon
promulgated, ladies, were carried out faint
ing; others .shrieking ?wildly, and over
come by .their' fears*- leaped over lunches
and balustrades with marvellous agit ly.
The Municipal Guards and the police had
been endeavoring for some, four or five
minutes, with their drawn sabres to put
an end to the . dreadful - scene, when the
lion-tamer, Signor Bich l, entered thc cage,
and with ot|nisb|ng] obiirage marched

For kissing a pretty, girl, one dollar. .

We have heard recently of numbers of j
persons from our own and other Counties
leaving the State and swelling thc tide pf |
migration westward. Wc must believe
that it ia a false idea entertained by many
that their condition can bc bettered by re
moval out of the State. " Ignorant people
.suppose that the West is one vast El Do
rado, with green fields and luxuriant pas
tures, abounding in all the comforts of life,
and " flowing in milk and honey." This
is an entirely mistaken notion. A por.
man who has to depen'd upon his own la
bor and bodily exertions for a support for
himself and family can succeed as well in
Sooth Carolina as anywhere. He will bc
obliged to work wherever he goes, and he
will bo s'adly deceived if he thinks that,
by removing somewhere else, he will find
escape from manual labor. Capitalists
may find richer fields for speculation than
this State affords, and undoubtedly can
make more profitable investments else
where, but there arc so few of this, class
left among us, that our words can scarcely
be*addressed lo other than thc laboring
class of people, thc bone and sinew of the
coitnlry.
. There are some things that can'be said
in favor of emigration, such as relief from
an oppressive government and burdensome
taxation, but these arc only temporary
evils, which will pass away in a few years,
and our State will be as prosperous as she
ever was.
Trouble and vex<atii>ns lie in the path of |
thc emigrant. He wit! have to encounter
unknown dangers and perils. He goes
from amongst kindred and friends to the j.
land of strangers. This picture is not
'overdrawn, nor too highly colored. It is
only too true. Wc ask our fellow-coun
trymen to study it, and when there springs
up within them a desire to desert old Car
olina, remember what little they can ex
pect to gain in so doing. They have re
mained with the motlier State in her pros
perity, and shared her glory. Let them
not leave her in her helplessness and hu
miliation, but stick to the old ship, and if |
she goes down, go down with her.-Fair
