The End of the Ku Mux Trials.
The Ku Klux trials at Columbia, South Car?
olina, are at last at an end. They have been.a
disgrace to civilization, and it is, perhaps, be?
cause the administration perceives that the
country feels this that the prosecutions have
. been stopped. Instituted for political purposes,
they have aroused a languid disgust for their
author rather than that venomous hate for the
South which was desired, and, as having thus.
failed of their purpose, have been discontinued.
In the next Presidential canvass the Ku Klux
trink will- be hardly an issue, save in so far as
administration speakers may be forced to palli?
ate" and apologize for the gross outrages upon
law justice and decency which have marked
their course. Failing thus in. their intended
abjects of making party capital for the Repub?
lican nominee in the approaching campaign
for the Presidency, these trulls have yet their
uses. It is impossible to review them without
exciting a wholesome horror of one of the worst
forms of despotism?that which cloaks itself
under the forms of law. To all outward ap?
pearance-everything was regular?the law was
passed by Congress; the indictments wer?! found
by a_Federal grand jury; the accused ..-re al?
lowed counsel; there were witnesses and Judg?
es, and pleas and verdicts, and all the usual
paraphernalia and incidents of a due adminis?
tration of justice; and to supplement all this
aircnmstantiality there were divers confessions*
of guilt in open Court, as if even out of the
mouth of the prisoner at the bar proceeded a
testimony to the propriety of his trial and exis?
tence of his crime. Looking beneath the surface,
a horrible travesty of justice appears. In the
first place, in the eye of Congress itself, there
appeared no original necessity for this Ku Klux
act. The Forty-first Congress came to an end
on the 4th of March, 1871, and was succeeded
by the Forty-second, which speedily effected an
organization and stood ready by the 7th to ad?
journ. \7ord to this effect was sent Mr. Grant,
who forthwith urged the two houses not to ad?
journ until he could call their attention to some
legislation they had omitted, but he desired.
Towards the close of the month the nature of
this legislation was indicated. It was the Ku
Klux Dill. At first the House was strongly op?
posed to its passage, and even in the Senate
signs'of insubordination appeared; but in the
end party discipline and the power of the pub?
lic patronage prevailed, and the bill was passed.
This was in April, 1871; but, as if to vindicate
those members who had objected that no such
legislation was necessary, nothing was done in
the premises until after the October elections.
Pennsylvania and Ohio went Republican, and,
as if taking this for an assurance that he might
safely proceed in any violence, Mr. Grant forth?
with began to operate his pet law. The elec?
tions came off on the 10th of October, and on
the 12th the first South Carolina proclamation
under the Ku Klux act was issued. It was an?
nounced that a "rebellion" existed, and all
therein concerned were warned to disperse in
five days?too short a time for the alleged in?
surgents to receive notice; but, as it was never
intended that an opportunity should be given
the menaced districts to exonerate themselves,
perhaps the time made no difference. At the
end ot five days it was announced that the in? j
surgents would not disperse?though the same
shortness of time which prevented them from j
learning the warning, also forbade Mr. Grant,
who was then off on a pleasure trip in Maine,
from knowing that they had defied his notice?
and the arrests began. As the privilege of the
writ of habeas corpus was suspended, no man
could force his captors to show their authority
for his arrest The dragoons simply collared
any one whom they were ordered, and flung him
iojalL When the jails were full to overflow?
ing the trials began. The grand juries finding
the indictments were negroes; the witnesses on
whose testimony they relied were negroes or
debauched white fellows, hired for the purpose;
and the jurors trying the cases were negroes
again. The evidence taken was that cf the
scum of the earth, as one story brought to light
in the course of the trials will show. A cer-;
tain planter was accused before the nearest mil- J
kary officer of whipping one of his hands.?
-The negro swore point-blank that he had been j
jogged, giving, at the demand of his employer,
-the day and hour. The planter immediately
put on the stand four of the injured darkey's
fellow-laborers, who swore point-blank that at
the time named, their employer was off with,
them in a distant field. As a matter of course1
the officer at once released the planter, who
then asked him if the case was over. Certain?
ly, he replied; you cannot be troubled again.
To which the planter responded: I can
have you proveu guilty of murder for $5;j
I did whip that negro, and my other hands j
swore me off, as they would for the same money
testify in the most circumstantial manner that
they had seen you cut a man's throat It is on
record that the officer thenceforth placed no
special reliance on freed men testimony, and yet'
it is on this kind of evidence that these Ku;
Klux trials have been conducted. Two dollars:
per day and expenses was the payment made
out of the United States Treasury to the wit?
nesses in the Federal Courts at Columbia, and!
all accounts concur that the town swarmed with
blacks, ready, of course, to testify to order..
?Subsidiary to these main witnesses were scoun?
drel white men, the pariahs of their several
villages?creatures who answered in the South!
to the "bummers" of our large Northern cities
?drunken, diseased, blear-eyed, filthy wrecks!
of humanity, only too happy to do or say or
swear anything in return for present pay. As
required, these obscene fowls appeared before
the negro grand juries, or acted as swift witnes?
ses in Court, or came in and surrendered them?
selves as the head of the Ku Klux Klans, or
suffered themselves to be arraigned at the bar
and there plead guilty and were heavily sen?
tenced to mock fine and imprisonment. Idiots,
even, were not disdained by the administration
for this latter purpose, as we judge from the re?
port of one day's proceedings that "William
Ilobbins was next called, and plead guilty, lie
was a poor, half-witted fellow, and could not
articulate intelligibly. His interpreter stated
ibr him," &c. As for witnesses, one famous in?
former, whose testimony was greatly relied on,
swore that he held much consultation with At?
torney General Akerman, and was then paid
$200, money counted down. And by money
counted down these Ku Klux trials were work?
ed. The expenditure account being "secret ser?
vice," cannot be made public, but it is well
known that large suni3 nave been spent, and
why or how spent if not for such purchases of
perjury as just related ? Men surrender them?
selves as Ku Klux because hired to do so, plea?
ded guilty because hired, and testified against
others because hired. Lynch law there no
doubt was at times in South Carolina, iust as
we have it in the North every now and then,
but the Ku Klux trials utterly fail to establish
any thing more. The surrenders, confessions,
?lcas of guilty, &c, mean simply Mr. Grant's
ire.?New York World.
? East Tennessee does an enormous sheep

The Meeting of South Carolina Bondholders
in Baltimore.
The Baltimore JSun, of the 11th insL, gives
the annexed full report ofthe meeting of South
Carolina bondholders in. that .? city, of which
mention was made in- our last issue:
The holders of South Carolina bonds held-a
meetingjas^evening at the- Eutaw House, for,
the purpose of taking action in reference to
their claims against that State. A. B. Patter?
son, Esq., was carTed"" to the chair, and Mr.
Chas. E. Roberts appointed Secretary. There
jwere fourteen persons present, representing
some two hundred thousand dollars of bonds,
mostly owned in. Baltimore, but some held in
New York, and other places, represented by
proxy. -
The chairman stated that a much larger
amount of bonds would have beefa.Tepresented
but for some misunderstanding regarding the
meeting. Some dozens of letters had been re?
ceived irom parties in ]Sew" York and elsewhere,
making enquiries as to the object of the meet?
ing, but they were addressed to the Secretary,
Mr. Roberts, at the Eutaw House, and had on?
ly come into his possession on "this everiipg.???
Had these letters been received in-time to be
answered, no donbt a much larger amount of
stock would have been represented. The chair
then asked the Secretary to read the following
legal opinion:
The undersigned, having been engaged as
counsel to investigate and report the legal mer?
its of the bond claims held by various bona fide
(purchasers against the State of South Carolina,
.respectfully state that the subject matter of the
inquiry, though important in the large pecuni?
ary amounts' involved, lies within a small com?
pass as a legal proposition. I have in my hands
a letter dated September 29, 1871, written by
the direction of.Gov. Robert K. Scott, and
; signed by - his private Secretary, in reply to a
letter of-inquiry from a gentleman of this city,
in which was enclosed a "copy .of a statement
Of the debt Of South Carolina, lately forwarded
to the Hon. John Scott, United States Senate,
Chairman of the Joint Select Committee to en?
quire into the condition of the late insurrec?
tionary States." The letter concludes by em?
phatically declaring that this "report may be,
relied upon as correct," and on the faith of this
official and explicit statement, my client, who
had invested a large sum in the purchase of
South Carolina bonds at the average price of
about sixty-seven cents in the dollar, continued
to hold said bonds, then worth fifty-three cents
in the dollar; since when the decline to the
present time has been fifty-six per cent., or
eighty-four since purchase.
The copy of Governor Scott's report, enclosed
and referred to in his letter, states the "total
issue of bonds and stock to be $9,528,56410,"
j from which he deducts $250,000 paid during
the fiscal year 1871, and $100,000 held by the
j sinking fund, leaving a residue of issued bonds
and stocks of only $9,178,564.10, all the en?
dorsements by the State of railroad bonds being
declared by Governor Scott to be amply pro?
tected against loss. Undoubtedly this state?
ment can be considered as a substantial cause
of actio 3 by the gentlemen who continued to
hold oh the faith, of it, if it was falsely and de?
ceitfully iriade.,' }ve. now have reliable evi?
dence that, contrary to the statements made by
Goverdor Scott,in this.letter, the total indebt
hess or South Carolina on the 18th of Decem?
ber, 1871, was at least $16,371,306, if not $22,
I 000,000, and it results that he either misrepre?
sented tho facts OT knowtrtB him7in"S3epXember
last, or has been privy to the subsequent over?
issue of several millions of bonds contrary to
the intimations and declarations set forth in
said report, that no further issue would be ne?
cessary.
The above statement and inferences are abun?
dantly supported by the reports of legislative
committees and other testimony found in copies
of the Charleston papers.. It is clear that the
gentleman who has this direct and unequivocal
assurance from Governor Scott can better than
any one else enforce a strict accountability at
I his hand, and the only remedy open at present
to the holders of these bond), now so deprecia?
ted, would seem to be to act in concert with my
client by giving them countenance and support
in legal proceedings to.be instituted in the
United States Courts in South Carolina, and
[.perhaps in New York, with a view to ventilate
these stupendous frauds by the coercive process
of the Federal Courts, leading if necessary, to
the Supreme Court of the United States. If
these Buspected frauds are proved in a court of
justice, as it now secm6 they will be, its judg?
ment will not' only make the guilty ofTenders
disgorge their ill-gotten gains, but the develop?
ments in such suits must result in criminal
prosecutions, by which all such offenders may
be made to feel the extreme penalty ofthe law
they have so shamefully violated. Mv client is
ready and willing to lend the use of Iiis name
and the testimony he has, for the institution of
legal proceedings, and to apportion pro rata the
frpits of any judgment he may recover among
all those who may come in at once and contrib?
ute their pro rata of the moderate preliminary
expenses which are necessary to set on foot
these proceedings, and prosecute them with
vigor and energy. But he is not willing to
move in even so clear a case for the limited in?
terest he has without the co-operation of such
a number of the bondholders sis will not only
render the pro rata of preliminary expenses as
trifling and insignificant to the great object in
view, but will give moral force to the legal
f>rosecutions as well as to such an appeal for
egislative relief as may be thought advisable.
Having, as he believes, a better gronnd for ac?
tion than perhaps any other stockholder, he
has, with tne co-operation of a few others hold?
ing bonds in this citv, originated the idea of a
meeting of bondholders to act in concert, and
devise the best method of ultimately realizing
the face of their bonds, now so much depre?
ciated.
At his request, and for the common benefit
of all who will unite with him, I have thus
briefly presented an outline of the legal claim
he can present, and the measures of relief which
can alone seem to promise a successful result.
Respectfully submitted,
R. J. BRENT.
Dr. J. Hanson Thomas was of opinion that
as the amount of bonds represented was com?
paratively small, another meeting should be 1
held before any definite action was taken. He
thought New York would be the proper place
to hold an adjourned meeting.
Mr. Patterson thought New York the very
worst place .in which to hold the meeting, as
the combined rascals of Sduth Carolina were
supposed to be in league with parties in New
York. The bondholders should, in his opinion,
go to work at once, and endeavor to vindicate
their just rights.
Dr. Thomas desired to know the amount of
bonds represented, and on footing up the entire
sum was found to be a trifle less than $200,000.
Mr. E. J. Brent said that although he was
not present as a bondholder, he would say that
after giving the subject a most careful investi?
gation, he had come to the conclusion that the
letter of Gov. Scott made him clearly responsi?
ble for all the over-issues of stock, ana that suits
brought in the United' States Courts against
Gov. Scott, and Kimpton,- Financial Agent at
New York, and Parker, the State Treasurer of
South Carolina, would result in a benefit to the
bondholders. Scott, who was a native of Ohio,
had been making large purchases of real estate
in the vicinity of Toledo, and a civil suit could
reach him at least. The Legislature of South
Carolina might be appealed to; for if there had
been an illegal issue of stock the State was cer?
tainly' responsible. Scott and all connected
wi(h him were responsible for their illegal acts,
and if the bondholders waited for something to
turn up all would be stuck in the mud.
After considerable conversational debate, the
following resolution was offered and adopted
unanimously:
Resolved, That a committee of six be named
by the chair, to which he shall be added as a
member, and that said committee be authorized
to invite the co-operation of all bondholders of
the State of South Carolina who may unite
with the object of this meeting by a specified'
. day,.so that energetic civil and criminal pro?
ceedings may be adopted as soon as possible to
vincicato the rights of all the bondholders.
The meeting then adjourned until the 7th of
?February. [The Chairman stated that he
would announce the committee through the
newspapers.]
-? Undcrdraining.
In this country the subject of undcrdraining
'has not generally been well studied. In a new
country, sparsely settled, with a virgin soil,
enough is produced to meet the wants of all,
without resorting to any extra labor and outlay
to make the earth produce all that it is capable
of doing.
But when the price of land advances, and.
the soil becomes poor, it is necessary to enquire
how all of these changes aii to be'met Ne?
cessity stimulates enterprise, and one step after1
another, in the line of improvement, is made,
and the result astonishes, in many cases, even
those who have been the main operators in the
enterprise. Undcrdraining, deep ploughing
and high manuring are imperatively demanded
at the hands of the-cultivator who pays from
fifty to one hundred dollars per acre for his
land.
Land with a tenacious subsoil is generally
too wet, during certain parts of the year, for
successful tillage, on account of the water re?
maining on the subsoil instead of running off
or sinking into the soil, as in the case of sand or
gravel. The consequence is, that the soil being
wet and cold, vegetation grows very imperfect?
ly, and in many cases does not pay the expen?
ses of cultivation. But the cost of the land,
and the expense of tilling are nearly or quite
as much as they would be on good soil.
Being in possession of such land, the ques?
tion .arises, bow can it be improved so as to
make it produce remunerative crops? The
straightforward answer to this question is, by
undcrdraining. If land is in a condition to
require underdraining, it will always yield
enough more to pay a handsome profit on the
outlay, whatever it may be, provided it is within
the range of a judicious economy.
By a good system of underdraining, the soil
becomes dry and tillable in the proper season,
and is better fitted for cultivation in all ordina?
ry crops at an earlier period, the temperature
U increased by the absence of surplus water,
and the usual effects of severe drought are but
slightly felt, on account of the aerated condi?
tion of the soil through the drains and the gen?
eral action of the dews and light rains.
It should be remembered that whenever the
earth is dry, the atmosphere contains larger
amounts of moistu;re than when the earth is
moist. During drought, water is not out of
existence. The quantity is fully as great now
as at the time of Noah's flood; the earth and
aic'are the only places to make the draining
perfect; and when not found in the one we
shall always be able to obtain it in the other.?
National Agriculturist.
The Narrow Gauge.
The discussion between the advocates of, the
narrow gauge railroads and their opponents is
having light thrown upon it by the opening of
the first narrow gauge railway for passenger trav?
el and freight constructed in the United States.
The road is known as. the "Denver and liio
Grande," and is now built between Denver and
Colorado City, a distance of seventy-six mires,
it has a three foot track,, the rails weighing.on?
ly thirty pounds to the yard, and the maximum
curvature is six degrees to the hundred feet,
the maximum grade being seventy-five feet to
the mile. The paisenger engines weigh twelve
tons, and cost $7,1)00, and the freight engines
fifteen tons, costing $8,500. t Expense per
mile of building, as equipped, is $13,000, which,
on account of high transportation charges of
material from the East, is greater than the cost
of a similar road would be in other parts of the
country, where the estimated cosh cost of such
a line would be from $8,000 to $10,000. The
road is believed to be a triumphant experiment,
and it is said tha; its extension to the City of
Mexico, 1,800 miles from Denver, is in contem?
plation. An excursion was made over the road
immediately upon its completion, between Den?
ver and Colorado,''and the ridingissaid to have,
been easy and comfortable at fifteen to thirty
miles an hour. The cars are necessarily small?
er than those used on ordinary tracks, being
thirty-five feet long and sevon feet in outside
width ; having double seats on one side and
single seats on the other, and accommodating
thirty-four passengers. Sleeping cars and all
conveniences of travel can be provided on such
roads as well as on the wider gauges. The re?
ported demonstration of the practicability of a
three-foot gauge over broken country like that
in Colorado is a matter of importance to all
the people of the United States. It proves that
railways suitable for passenger and freight bus?
iness may be built far cheaper than the average
of existing roads. Towns and villages which
require rail connection, but have hitherto been
destitute of that advantage, recoiling from the
high price of construction, may now pick up
courage and build a road. In mountainous re?
gions, the superior merits of the narrow gauge
are very apparent, since the expense of cutting,
filling, tunneling and grading is so much re
ducca from the estimates for broad gauges.?
The sharper curves practicable with 7 three
foot truck are also a great argument in its fa?
vor.

SOLUBLE
PACIFIC GUANO.
Price $45 Cash, with usual Advance on Time.
I?XPERIENCE in the use of this Guano for
j the past six years in this State, for Cotton,
and Corn, has so Car established its character for
excellence as to render comment unnecessary.
In accordance with the established policy of
the Company to furnish the best Concentrated
Fertilizer at the lowest cost to consumers, this
Guano is put into market this season at the
above reduced price, which the Company is en?
abled to do by reason of its large facilities and
the reduced cost of manufacture.
The supplies put into market this season are,
as heretofore, prepared under the personal su?
perintendence of Dr. St. Julian Ravenel, Chem?
ist of the Company, at Charleston, S. C, hence
planters may rest assured that its QUALITY
and COMPOSITION is precisely the same as
that heretofore sold. At the present low price
every acre planted can be fertilized with 200
pounds Guano at a cost not exceeding the pres?
ent value of 30 pounds of cotton, while experi?
ence has shown that under favorable conditions,
of season and cultivation the crop is increased,
by the application from two to threefold the
natural capacity of the soil. Hence, under no
conditions could its application fail to compen?
sate for the outlay. Apply to
