WINNSBORO. Wednesday Morning, Oct. 17, 1871, Grant's ProclanatIon. For some time past the publio mind have been on the "qui vive," as to what action the authorities at Washington would tako in regard to the report of the Ku Klux Commit tee upon affairs in this State. We wore seriously threatened with "Mar tiil Law," and were daily expecting a declaration of it; but sober counsels seemed to have prevailed at th Presi dential Mansion, and now the whole matter has culminated in a bombastic proclamation, possessipg only one striking charactoristic, and that is, utterly devoid of point. The proclamation is based upon the glaringly fah-o idea that the commit too named in it, are in a state of open insurrection against both- the State and National authorities, and assumes that armed bands of men are travers ing the country in broad day light, making war upon the people, and committing other overt acts of rebellion. If the government at Washington has been led to believe that this con. dition of things exist in South Caro lin, then it has been duped by evil. designed, bad hearted men, who hope only to subserve somne private end by wilfully misrepresenting a much-abus. ed section of the Union. Outside of the general tone of the proclamation and the spirit that prompted it, we have simply to re. 'mark that we consider it entirely un called for. If Gen. Grant expects to fgain the good will of the people of 'South Carolina, by such 'alanderous imputations upcorothorn as his procla mation contains, then he is sadly mils taken in his estrimate of the charaoter 'of men who are proud to call them. solves Carolinians. Th'le state Treasury. If there is any one public matter that should just now engage the at-~ tention of the well-disposed citiiensof the Stats it ia the condition of our Tl'iasury. Treasurer Parker has been absent from his office over three mobths, for what eiiuso it has not yet transapired. Consequently that do partment of the State government has been practically abandoned, and the duties incident thereto utterly net. lected. TIhis condition of things is simply an outrage of the greatest kind, one that d eservesethe severest condom. nation from an Injured andI justly in. dignant people. Governor Scott himself, is highly censurable for allowving this important part of the government to be neglect-. ed as it has been and should either require the Treasurer Parker to re. turn to his duties, or supply his place with an honest and reliable officer. The State Is actually on the point of bankruptcy, and still we hear of no remedy. Accounts against the State are daily presented at the Troasur-. er's effice, .and the answer is "\ir. Parker is absent and there is no money In the Treasury." But oh serve the sequel: Governor. Scott and Treasurer Parker are both interested in a bank ing inatistution in Columbia, and when parties fail to get their accounts and checks cashed at the Trreasuiry, they a'e' blandly informed that "Scott's hank" will discount them at from five to tWsNdy per cent.)

Xosjt.,of uur rnderqnvc doubtless seen accounts of the trialp at Raleigh, N. C., under the Ku Klux act of Con gress. The tribunal under Whose jurisdic tion they fell was the U. S. Circuit Court, presided over by Judge Bond. here is probably no parallel in the hlstory of the civilised world of such a mockey 6fjstioe% of the 'enaot ment of judicio4 proceedings so ex treinely farcical. The panel of jurors were bitter Radical partisans, and conviction was a pro-arranged matter. Before such an array of prosecutors, or more pro perly persecutors, justice and a fair trial were thing4 imposible to obtain. Consequently verdicts of guilty were quickly rendcred, and the victims of Radical hate consigned to folon's cells. What a commonutary upon the civil. ization of the nineteenth century I That miserable dirty sheet "the Columbia Union," is .threatening the people of South Carolina with a repo tition of the Rtaleigh trials and their attendant cruelties, but we think we understand the character of our people well enough to say in their behalf that although they nany be forced to sub mit to outrages backed up by bayo nets, they can never be forced to re spect that Government who.'o whole nun soons to be to. persecute an un fortunate and poworless people. chcagio In Ashcs. From Tuesda'n papers we learn that Chicago, the Quecn City of the \Vest, has beein vi.itod by a terrible and destructive conflagration, many million dollars worth of property be ing completely swept away. It is estinatedlthat over one hun dred thousand people are thus made houseless and hoiteless, and probably a great many lives lost. Chicago wasono of the most flourish ing cities in the United States, and from r. commercial point of view, its destruction will be seriously felt and deplored. Thea Texast Election. Recent despa tches bring us the wel come news- that Texas has at last been redeemed from Radical misrule. The Democratic majority is estiinated at thirty thousand, with every Con. gressional 'District,- represented by a Democrat. Every lover of libeoty will rejoice over this great victory of the Do. mocIQey of .thn "L~oe .Star" State, and will join .us in hoping that the contagion may spread all over the South, until s'he be entirely free fromn ladical persecution. Polcey Extr-aordinry. In nearly every iesuo of the promi. nont news-journals of the day, we find accounts of horrible butcheries and outrages perpeitraited by the Indians upon settlers of tb9 fatr.. Wesbt. WVomen and children arc ruthless. ly murdered, hoeuses burned to the ground, cattle diiven' off, and the pioneers of Western civilization be reot of everything that makes life dear, and they themaselvos often the viotiums of savage brutality. Iu-. inanity calls loudly for a- redress of these wrongs, and demands that those acts of violence be speedily supptross ed, and white tuen protected from In dian ferocity. The natural inquiry is, upon whom falls the' lla me and responsibility for this outrageous condition of thinmgs ? We unhesitatingly answer, the Unzited States Government. -Instead of em ploying its forces in~ protecting its true and tried citizens, ws see troops seattored all over the Southern coun try, propping up with their bayonets mogre governments, thle off-spring of Radicalism, and forcing upon the South as rulers, the scum and refuse of ereation. Certainly an ennobling occupatioh for the army of the chiral. rou United States Government. How are tihe mighty fallen I Why such an unjust policy should be pursued by the United States an. thorities, we can't conjecture.

Thursday' 'dispatches informed our readersi of the oecnrrence of -serious riot in the city of "eBrotherIy hove," between whites and negroes. It is a great pity that the affair did not.lia~ppen Oomewhore down South in oider that the R.dical iarty ,;ight' mal4 bi)itica:l capital out of it. The "poor" negio is nurdered . in the streets of p, iforthern city, and nothing spe61al iid of' It but let 8ie a ifig happen in the. rebelliour South, and there would be a howl raided over it throughout the entire North. Localitiies, like circumstances, alter cases. Ku Klux iln Mlssi"sppI. In. Ilolmes County, Miss., the house of Dick Brower, a negro wvho had re fused to jolii the Loyal L'eague, was assailed at ightl by an armed party a1.1d besie'ged till mornli,'when they retired, leavin one of their number, a negro named John Bruon,"dead on the fiold. - Here is a case for the introduction of the Ku Klux act Into Mississippi. But in this instance it so happened, that the "League" takes the aggres sive, and of course our wvordty Presi dent will take no notice of this out rage. How the Radicals would have liked the League to have been the victims so that Gen. Grant could have had some excuse for "bayonet ing" poor little Misnissippl. The Episcopal Convention. The Triennial Convention of the Protostant Epi-capal Clhurch, which met on W~eduesday in Baltimore, will command unusual attention from the grave subjects of discussion which await it. Cheneyites and nuti-Che. neyiteo, Ritualists and l'vangelical, are doubtless armed cap a-pie with sword and shield to rush into the deadly frny. There are among both the Bishops aind lay delegates nr un usual number of inen of intellectual force-enough, if they ineet with the honest and really pilacible intent, to bring all vexed (tstions to a pcrua. noot friendly settlement. However this may be, the debates, whether de cisive or not, will b coiducted with a certain dignity and courtesy too of ten, unfortunately, lacking in denomi national councils. Emerson's sa reas. tio apostrophe to this church, "B taste "ye are saved," is so far true that the episcp alian clergyman, however, weak lie way be in the brain, is usually in breeding a gen. tieman. Thi sect is not so powerful In this 3ountr~y in nui-era las it is ini cul ture: in its habit of regarding nall prohlema of life with a grave and reasonable moderation, due p.artly to its peculiar tenets, anid partly to ther honorable ancestry which it fee-ls bound fitly to represent Xohles~eobulige is as wholesome a restraint on church es as on individuals. Its "fruits of righteousness"; are preeminently peaceable. It depends for ita con verts to Christianity more upon the gradual effect of early teaching, or an unwearied graciouts seeking for erring souls, than upon occasional convulsive throes of remorse, or the i:nplaoable grip of hard logic. A man with the words of its grandly simple service daily upon his lips, may attach a fantastic imnportance to altar-cloths and ebasubles, but he will not be likely to become ?itupera tive or blasphemous. We hope that the present grave deliberations of this body will represent their strong traits rather than .lie weaik ones. llowever important :to some ot their members inay seenm the quebtions of cand les or daylight, aurioular confes amon or prayers for the dead, thoee are, after all, but trifles to the great under-world of society--the masses who scarcely have beard if there be a Ood ; wvhile it is of vital importance to thonm and to us all that rnot one witness who has faithfully testified of him should grow trivial or bitter with age, or should fail in that broth erly unity or forbearing charity which best represent Ilinm to the woid .-N. Y. Triabunc. These Fulnre Sails of Lotton, '4'hec Macron Telegraph is quite'in consed at the sales of cotton futures repiorted in the New York markets by telegraph. Trhat paper say a Tilhe siles of "futures," so- called, so carefully reported of late in our des patches, are the merest shams, and unworthy of notice or report. if the rascals only lost the difference be tween their bid and the actual price of cot ton, there would be some conso lation ; bitt they risk only a trifling miargin, if they risk anything at all. We believe it is nothing more than a game, mainly supported by manufac turers, to ''boar" the cotton tiaket, and just now every influence is hard and deeply at work in the business. A margin of seven cents profit on a pound of cotton for half or three fourths of the crop is a big thing, worth any amount of the effort.

Used as he was only o">rackisbwifle, such water as A1b9, appqared to his simple tuind wor. thy of a itiohtareb, and filling his leath ern bottle from the spring, he doter nind to go and present-itto tho-caliph himsel f. 'The poor man traveled a long way before he reached the presence of lha soveriegu and kid his humble offering at his feet. The caliph did not des. piso the little gift brought to him with so much trouble. He ordered s-,me of the water to be poured into a eup,drank it, and thanking the Arab with a smile ordered him to be pro. sentod with a reward. The courtiers around presed for wa-rd, eager to taste the wonderful water ; but to the surprise of all, the caliph forbade them to touch a sigle drop. After the poor Arab had quitted the royal presence with a light and joyful heart, the caliph turned to his courtiers and thus explained his con duet : "During the travels of the Arah," said he, "the water in his iealhern hottle becttue impuie and distas.teful. But it was an offering of love, and as such I have received it with pleasure. INt I well know that had I suffered another to partake of it, lie would not haive eneealed his dis. gust ; and therefoPre I forbade you to touch the drought, leat the heart of the poor niau - shuuld have ' beon wcundod." The net of this caliph was werthy of a Christian gentleman. Re.d the story over again, think about it and try to remember it when some one simpler trinded than you are expozes hib ignorance whilet doing ymi a ser vice.

Oly five of this number are now In jail. TChe statement of the Phoneix, upon informatiou received frome the Mar 8shal, "that numbers of t he 'mistic clan' aere daily surrender ing themselves," is not t.;ue aecordineg to the ie.formea tion we lhave. All who are In jail were arrosted. Thle paragiaphe in the Phaenix conveys the idea that our jail is full of prisoners who surren. dered themselves, which is not true. The above we copy fromc the Caro lina Spartan. The statement was made on Marshal John's authority. Mr. Jaecs Brooks writes from abroad :"Th'le IuEglishe laneguage, I see-and the more I see the bettor I see it-is oceomineg the uneiversael Ian. guage of the educated world.
