l' Ku Klux Trials.' By our Columbia exchanges wc see that the trials of the Ku Klux prisoners Ave re brought to a close on Friday last, Judge Bond taking his departure after passing sentences upon a batch of forty odd, and leaving Judge Bryan to attend to matters not connected with these trials. The trials have disclosed the commission of many outrages, which have received as the deserve, the condemnation of the great body of our people. Some good men doubtless were drawn into the organization for purposes of self-protection, and some offences committed by them under the exasperation of outrages, but the prisoners for the most part are ignorant and worthless characters, the fefuse of the society of their resptstive couutics. T~ a nf Bp A VOFV till* tOStilllO 111 viiv wwv "? ny was generally regarded as entirely inconclusive, but the character of the jury was such as almost to ensure his conviction. With this result staring him in the face, the Doctor made his escape, after the court had been occupied several days with his trial, and the testimony had been closed. Col. McMaster his counsel was interrogated as to his whereabouts, and very properly refused to answer. A rule was served upon the rceasant counsel, but after argument, the Court seems very discreetly to have suffered the matter to rest. On Friday there was a large number of prisoners present at the .opening of the court many of them waiting to plead guilty, and to make their statements. The following cases, from Spartanburg county, were disposed of, eacli prisoner making his statement. Aaron Ezell, ten dollars fine, one year imprisonment. Munroe Scruggs, ten dollars fine, six months imprisonment. Alexander Bridges, ten dollars flue, one year imprisonment. John Burrett, six months imprisonment. Stephen T). Splawn, fifty dollars fine, and two years imprisonment. Marion Gardner, three months imprisonment. Chesterfield Scruggs, six months itn prisonment. Henry Surratt, one month imprisonment. Andrew Cudd, three months imprisonment. Martin Hammett, six months imprisonment. William Self, three months; to count from day of confiement. Charles Tate, eighteen months imprisonment. Junius B. Tindall, one year imprisonment. Meivin C. Blackwood, two months imprisonment. ? John M. Moore, eighteen months imprisonment. John Cantwell, three months imprisonment. Lowis Henderson, three months imprisonment. The District Attorney nol promd the eases against George C. Bishop and John C. Clement for the purpose of using them as witnesses. Jonas Vnsscv, a chief, who had of all the other chiefs voluntarily come in, was sentenced but one year anil to pay a fine of $10. James Wall was sentenced to three months, although the court remarked, after inquiring into the condition of his family, that that was all that was taken into consideration ; a consideration that was lost sight of when he, with others, was dogging negroes. But iti this, as in several other cases following, it appears1 that his wife and children were entirely dependent iijnm the email crop they! c mid raise, otherwise the sentence would have been eighteen months instead ofj three. ! John C. "Wall was sentenced to three months imprisonment, as were also David C. McClure, Calvin Cook, Dillard M. Cantwell, Albert P. Clement three months, and ten dollars line.

Zihein't.'antwell, who is an old man, and had served as one of the <*ommittee of the Klan, was sentenced to one year's imprisonment. Judgment was suspended in the case of M. T. Phillips, who has been anxious to make a clear breast of all he knew concerning the Klan, and to aid the officers. The sentence was suspended in the 'Case of Lewis Jolly, who stated upon in quiry, that he had said he was present at the murder of Owens, a white .Republican of Union county; he claiming he had said so jokingly. Sentence will not he passed upon him until that case receives further investigation. The following were sentenced to six months imprisonment: W. S. Blackwell, \Ym. Itobbins, Thomas J. Price, 9 Kinj; Edwards and Frederick Paris, Taylor Vaseey and Chrisenbury Tate, each three months. Alfred Burke, of Spartanburg county, was sentenced to jwy a tine of $1000, and to six months imprisonment for illicit distilling, and like sentence was imposed upon James Scruggs, for retailing spirits without license. Several others arrived to make confessions of their guilt, but their ca.s?i were postponed until to-morrow. The most ef the prisoners are young men, unci but few are able to read or write. A few had teen soldiers in the army of the rebellion. Altogether, they were a squalid looking set. Quite a number of them were on the raid upon Justice, the editor at Rutherfordton, North Carolina, and Jonas Vassey, the Chief of a Klan, among them. "With hardly an exception, they had all indulged in'the whipping of colored men unci women. The grand jury returned into court a large batch of true bills. The petit jury was finally discharged, with the thanks of the court. The court then adjourned till eleven tliis morning. True bills have been found by the Grand Jury in some hundred additional cases. John M. Morris, editor of the "VVashinton Chroniclrhas bejrun an action for libel against William Murtagh, editor of the Washington Rruublican. lavinc damages at Mr. Morris is one of the executive clerks of the United States Senate, and assumed the management of the Chronicle about a year ago, succeeding John W. Forney. He owned, previously to that time, the Charleston jRepublican, which has since died. The AV ashing ton Jiepub/ican has charged editorially that Morris was running the <Chroniclc on money obtained from South Carolina State < fficers whom the State Legislature has been trying to impeach ;and has called upon the Senate to make ;an Investigation, since the charges reflected upon one of its officers.

' American Manures?Their Money ValueEditor Pretts and Banner : The above is the title of an interesting work recently published in Philadelphia, by J. B. iChinoweth, late superintendent of j Baugli & Sons' fertilizer Manufactories, and W. H. Buckner, analytical and consulting chemist, setting forth,, among other things, the value of our own waste products as material for manures ; also, chemical analysis of the principal manufacturers' fertilizers?their assumed and real value?and full expose of the frauds practised upon purchasers. These gentlemen speak what thfcy do know, having been within the scene, and were actors for awhile. Even to the unscientific reader the work is sufficiently intelligible, and bears such evidence of its truth as to startle him by the enormity of the frauds practiced upon the unsuspecting farmer, to say nothing of the suspicions which should have arisen from actual experience with many of these manures. After complete analysis they deduce the value to the farmer, of a ton, or 2000 lbs. of the leading fertilizers, as follows. Soluble Pacific?total value to farmer 421.98 ner ton. is sold ut SoO. involving a Toss of $28.02 or 128 per cent, to the fur-j mer on every ton he purchases, or lie pays 2} times as much as it is worth. Rhodes' superphosphate?total valu^ to farmcr$10.80, sold at $50, a loss of $50.20, or 42 times us mucli as it is worth. Baugh & Hons' superphosphate?tot,il value $14.73, sold at $30, loss of $35.27, or 3J times what it is worth. Browns' complete manure?total value $11.02, sold at $52, or 5J times what it is worth, and thus to the end of a long list with like results. ; How long can we endure such imposition, j and yet we are compelled to use manure I if we farm successfully. Is is not an apj propriate subject for legislation enactment. Let the farmer look to his interest. I would like to pursue this subject, [but MORE ANON. ? Bowen Interviewed.
