F , T i mi H. BRUKSON. 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. ' sion. Tie""imnchca ' nie jaws ripon iff and gave a desperate wrench,.

"Slick to the Old'Ship.'? 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 field Herald. brevities anil levities. fiSSr A patriotic gentleman in Moncton has lessened the government's expendi tures Sdi? per binnum hy marrying a sol dier's widow.
