The eleven Democratic Spates "with their one hundred and three eleo- , toral votes, must be supported and sup- lo] plemented by seventy-six electoral votes, av which can only be carried by an alliance vo of all the opponents of Radical misrule, sustained by a force of liberal Republicans sufficiently strong to make it cer- ' tain, that votes honestly cast against of Radicalism shall be counted. er; Such men as Senators Schurz, Trum- ias bull, Logan, Tipton, and others, uniting K< upon a platform of amnesty and revenue uu and civil service reform, could not fail, th says the Republican, to carry Illinois, nu Nebraska, Wisconsin and Indiana, with v\'t their forty-eight electoral votes?aud hi with the aid of Secretary Cox, and the German element of Ohio, the twenty- co< two electoral votes of that State might lig be secured. To these add the twenty- Oa f mr electoual votes of Mississippi, Louis- tic iana, Arkanaas and Florida, and the ue ten votes of Connecticut and New tei Hampshire, which would be secured by in an alliance with the liberal Republicans, w( and we have a majority sufficiently con- vo trolling. . an It is reasonable to suppose too, that a bu reform ticket would cam* New York sk with its thirty-four electoral votes; and i ofl if Senator Sumnersliouiu aiso support, lk it, the thirteen electoral votes of Mas- th sachusetts would also be won. pr Here are seventy Western, twenty- ut four Southern and ten Eastern electoral ce Voters to begained with great certainty wi by an alliance with the Liberal Republi- ho cans, while forty-seven more from New pe York and Massachusetts are not impro- m< bable. With these there is also a body ve of Republicans strong enough in the ba Senate and House to render it certain bo that votes honestly cast will be honestly counted. su Such are the views of the leading!go Democratic organ of the North-West, I be and the triumph which has attended its:tol policy in Missouri, gives some signifi-J cauce to its suggestions. I Ths KuXlnx Trials. Sr an Since our last issue, the Grand Jury of j the U. S. Circuit which has been so long: te< in session in Columbia, has been dismissed after finding some hundred new of indictments, and the Court itself has 50, adjourned, to meet agui 11 at its regular rit Spring Term in Charleston. Of over tir live hundred prisoners indicted, only th< some fifty-two have been convicted and tia sentenced, and the great majority await "itrial at the next Term?some in jail, and to others under heavy bail for their appear- m< ance. According to the Itadieal press an justice is not yet satisfied, and the bloody de work is still to be prosccuted. But it on teems that the dominant party have al- an rwidv accomplished, all they may ever no hope to cfleet. They have indeed failed fa I to connect the respectable white people att of the State with these Kn-Klux out- Oc rages, hr to show that the organization un Itself was designed to effect political th< party purposes, but neither does the exi trial of the remaining prisoners promise mc anything more encouraging in this re- ^ gard. The Government hassucceeded in getting up a bloody record of crime, which may make an excellent cam paign document to catch the unwary S^S and make them believe thattho wretch- . cd specimens of humanity who dis- J*,' graced the criminal calendar at Columbia, were fair exponents of intelligence and character of the State. If it is to be its objcct to punish crime, let the work j go on, but it' to make party capital, it I _ * may well cease, as it may not hope toj!?U{ accomplish more. j ":is With rogard to these trials, and the j facta which they establish, the Columbia | . correspondent of the New York World I c'ai very justly remarks; tlie "To sum up the whole of this Ku 0 Klux business: In the up-country, the votl ill-feeling engendered by Kadicai iead- spe ers between tne two races resulted in the th? Governor's arming the negroes, or- T ganjzing them into militia, and their leaders encouraging them to commit nil:lut' kinds of excesses against the whites, j Lai even to the extent of murdering the j \ - 1 X1-. * i leipiess aou uuo.-tHium^, uuhjiuj barns, gin-houses and dwellings, anu| creating a perfect reign of terror.

J To Thecongrcgatkmot TrmitytJhurcn nau: jia. pleasure of hearing, on Sunday last, j. ; tirst sermon of the Pastorate of theij ,v Rector, the Rev. Edward R. Mjieg. ^l)1 was an excellent discourse, sotting l'? th the claims of the Episcopal as a th rtestant-C&thoiic C'auron -Protestant, Cv tsmuch as it holds fast to the cardinal aj, Jtrhies of the Reformation?the denial ^ P.ie Pope's Supremacy, the invocation Saints, tho doctrine of Purgatory, and ,l e local and material presence of Christ l,r the Sacrament?Catholic, since it em- ? aees in its creeds every substantial j^] ith of Christiau doctrine, from the fixed ^ crces of Calvinism to the free grace of ^ miniuuism. A true branch of the Anicau Church, it was content to purge elf of error, and did not seek to be ag- t>0 essive, by attempting to charge error fo ion others. The whole subject was en- th ceil with much learning and ability. jc i'his being the close of the week of rp| ayer, the Presbyterian and .Methodist ? greations united irreligious services 1 the Methodist Church, where impres- "s 'e and eloquent discourses were deliv- w id by Itev.

M. Johnson, br d two assistants, and the seizure by ol em of all tobacco which had no reve- pu le stamp affixed to boxes in nvhicli it is packed. Few escaped, and several indred pounds of tobacco were seized. Li iceipts were given, and the parties frj ully informed that they should escape sti ;htly with the confiscation of the to- on cco, as the law imposes heavy penal- cb ;s upon all parties in whose possession pi istamped tobacco is found. As a mat- ni of course, our merchants are entirely wi nocent of offence in the matter, and, ic^ i suppose, could not be chargeable be- tit nd the confiscation of the tobacco. II m y one is guilty it is the manufacturer; Se ,t we suppose the most likely coticlu- j)a >n is. that the stamus have been rubbed w r by the wear and tear of transporta>n. A like fate, we trust> will betake e whole odious impost duty, which (<] cruises soon to be swept from the star- be e books. We would rejoice if a fate as m rtain awaited the onerous taxation hi iiich is imposed by authorities nearer me. Until the aforesaid law is re. <ra * o aled, however, we suppose that our rci jrchants will need no suggestions to be th ry careful about buying unstamped to- to eco, or in preserving tlie stamps upon 0f xes in their possession. rfc We learn that at Cokesbury, and we ppose, wherever the Collectors have ne, the same wholesale seizures have dj en made. Several hundred pounds of th bacco were seized at Cokesbury. uc Js Special Message of the Governor. fu We have received several copies of the ac] >ecial Message of Governor Scott, in tri swer to the charge of the Joint Inves- th fating Committee, recently transmiti to the Legislature. The most niateil charge against the Governor is that ^ an over-issue of bouds, amounting to .314,000, and issued too, after the tie 12] ill limited by Jaw. His reply n.s to the ^ ne of issue is, that the Act fixed only ^ e time "in which bonds may be negoted," but makes no limitation as to the ?sue of bonds,"?and as to the amount e be raised, authorized a certain sum of juey to be raised, but did not limit the lount of bonds and that owing to the , prcciation of security, $8,200,000 could ^ ly be raised, by issuing bonds to the lount of $9,514,000 &e., &. W'c have ^ doubt there has been a great deal of , se clamor in the matter, and that the )a empt has been essayed to make the ivernor the scape-goat of a corrupt and principled crew. The crying evil of tis j day is wasteful and corrupt an penditure pervading every depart- ^ snt of the government. - sej ? r+ . eqislattve. ?Tho proceedings of the gislature during the past week have ;n unusually barren of interest, some wc LiTini* in thf Sf?nn.fcf? hftu-pen Whiffy- UO re and Leslie, over the Land Commis- dei a frauds, and an angry discussion in House, over the resolution to expel mii Banks Lyle, of Spartanburg, as being J* meeted with the Ku-Klux, which ^ illy passed by a vote of 80 to 12. .
