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.

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.
The following whose cases were examined
"Wednesday, were disposed ot'.

meut. 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

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.

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

'Editor Abbeville Frees and Banner:
Permit nie.to correct a few slight mi?
takes, which appear in my article pul
lished by you hist week:
Under the heading Thursday mornin
Session, the fourteenth line and few sul
sequent ones should read, "We come ii:
to tiiis world naked, andwego out of 1
naked; this is a good thing, "for i
I teaches us, that what we make here?on
| money, our lands, our houses, arc notou
jown, but simply trust funds, forwhic
I God will call us to render at last a stric
Iaccount." The eighth and subsequen
j line previous to the last line of the sarn
paragraph, should read: "I have beei
I trying ever since to reconcile these tw

j The ninth line from the top of th
second column, should read, $3G00, in
stead of "$3000." (This error is mine.
I The thirty-second line from the las
'correction, should read, "number tliei
members." I perceive, by looking a
: the manuscript, how easily, one, not ac
iquaintcd with my handwriting, wouli
j make the mistake corrected above.
| The sentence, beginning with th
j fortieth line from the last correction
j should read as follows: "For it follows

MEETING OF THE STATE DENTAL
ASSOCIATION.
Editor Abbeville Prcsa and Banner:
There is to be u meeting of the Saluda
Dental Society, here on the 18th and
,r/ J9th inst. The Society is composed of
?-1 Dentists from the upper Districts, and is
auxiliary to the State Dental Associai'jtion.
Its meetings from time to time
It | are very pleasant, and contribute greatly
'r I to tlie improvement and benefit of the
r; members. In them they are brought toll
|gether in delightful social contact, and
'tj freely interchange ideas upon matters
pertaining to the profession, discuss new
p | theories, exhibit original inventions, ilL1
j lustrate Improved methods, dental pecu?jliaritiesof
practice, report cases of unu?,sual
interest, propound difficulties in
| operating, and, in fine, consider all mate:
ters of general interest to them.
- Thus individual knowledge is increas)
led, liberality of sentiment engendered,
t j professional courtesy encouraged, a der
I sire to excel stimulated, prejudices
tj broken down, and much good is done to
"; the members and their patients directly,
J ' and indirectly to the world at large.
| Nor is their desire simply for self-imcj
provement, but thciraim is in every way
i! possible to enlighten people upon the
!. jobjects, and very great importance, of
-! the young scicnce of Dentistry. 11 must
i! be confessed by all knowing anything
I about it, that there is a lamentable deII
gree of ignorance amongst the people in
c i regard to the teeth, their diseases, treats'!ment,
&c., and if we can do anything
'[to dissipate this ignorance, and thus
I help to lessen the many ills to which
i fiesh is heir, we will be but obeying the
e I calls of our humane profession.
- j Our meetings will be open to any who
- may feel any interest in our delibera,
tions, and we hope at their termination
-j to have a public address, to which allj
- j are invited, and by which I feel assured
1 all will be entertained and instructed.

One of the incidents of the recent
wedding of Senator Chandler's daugh?
ter is related by the Washington Capi-j
tal: "It seems that when the charming
Widow Aulick came to make her toilette
" it was discovered that the ruthless board
of public works had torn up the street
. and cut off the yas. A lady cannot dress I
3 without light. The prospect was dark. |
News of the trouble reached the Navy;
Department. The Navy Department
i was aroused. In a few hours an immense
force was put upon the street, and
in full time for the party light was
thrown upon the charmed home. This
carries us back to the days of romance |
and gallantry. A softened, rosy light of:
more poelie. times falls upon the rude
c streets of Washington."

' 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.

Of course that election gratified 1110

my, designs. There were thosa who

the kind who never bave been capable
of sacrificing a personal or pecuniary
motive for the public benefit. I had
made up my mind to meet such calumnies

offered to
sell out for $23.00C;
but they'll find out after a while that
I'm not in the market at any price."
q. '-So. you are bound to try it
again ?"

To confirm public confidence in the
1 Guauos offered for sale by me, it has always
been my desire to Avail myself of
7 the best scientific ability in order togive
the planter every possible guarantee as
to their standard. My warehouse in the
> City, as well as the Pacific Guano Works
at Ruckersville, have ever been open for
r inspection, and, although the latter having
been under the personal supervision
of Dr. St. Julien Ravenel, yet with his
1 entire approval ourstock has yearly been
examined by Prof. Shepard and his en
j dorsement of their high standard fieed,
I enclose herewith an extract from his
- report just taken. The analyses are oa
