A merchant of tbat City, on being requested to take an Eastern clerk into his employ-a young man of excel? lent parentage, whose father was a distin? guished man-made answer : "That is of no account to US. There is less daddy ism bere than in any part of the United States. What h> he himself r -The Germans expelled from France have been accurately ascertained, and a list giving the names, occupations and residences, will shortly be published. The number ol Prus? sians expelled amounted to 12,300, but as the Germans who lived in PariB came principally from the Southern province?, the list ot the persons frc m the other Stales respectively, lt is believed, will be much Krger. -The Roman Catholic prelates ot New York and several other States met on the 5th Instant at the residence of Archbishop McCloskey, New York, to select a candidate lor the new See of Plattsburg!!. The council was secret, but lt ls said tnat the Rev. Father McNelrney, the well-known secretary of Archbishop Mc?

Two of the latter were killed lu the fight. Their leaders are said to be Negrete, Talega, Rivero and Chevairlo.

The forts around Melz, now under repair, are first to be rechristened, and Fort St. Julian is to be called Fort Molike. The marble slab recording the construction of this tort under Kapoleon III, in 1667, is to bear the lollowlng amended inscription : "Com? menced in 1807, in defiance ol, and completed In 1871, In defence of Germany." -The Baltimore Gazette, of Friday, says: "The Concordia Opera House was filled to overflowing last evening to hear General Wade Hamj on's address on the life and Character of General Robert E. Lee. The audi? ence was well worthy of i he orator, and the address was equally well worthy of the audi? ence. From first tu last, daring the two hours which were spent In Its delivery, General Bampton riveted the attention ol his bearers, occasionally elicitiug tumultuous applause, when he made allusion to the more prominent events iu the lile or the great Viiglnlan, or td the more proranient of bis great lieutenant^ and comrades in arms. Among the diafUbfi guished gentlemen who occupied the soHB we observed Hon. Jtfferson Davis, who was! greeted with loud and hearty applause by lUe audience. -The overwhelming calamity in Chicago,1 and the dispatches which have been constantly coming in, naught with the latest intelligence iroin that iii-.med cit.\, have withdrawn the attention of tbe public from the extraordinary ravages of the same fiery element in Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana and else? where. Immense fires have been raging in the Western forests for the last two weeks. It is said that in Wisconsin the fires have had no parallel since the settlement of the country. Two thousand square miles are reported to be swept by the flanees. In Michigan it is stated that five villages have been entirely and two partially destroyed. All that portion of the State east of Saginaw Bay, and north ol a point forty miles above Port Huron, has been burn* over, and num? bers of persons have perished. Scarcely a county in the State but has suffered more or leBS. The damage to the pine landBis incal? culable. There was a light rain on Wednes? day, which seemed to have checked the pro? gress of the fires through the State. The fires have burned fiercely in the immense woods in some portions of Minnesota. Wood and prai? rie fires, as published in our latest dispatches, are also reported to be raging along the line of the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago rail? road, between New Albany, Indiana, and La tayette, on the North End road, destroying miles of fences, hay, grain in stack, corn in the field, houses, barns and Cattle pens. There bad been a long and protracted drought in the West, and the llames went over the country as if it were tinder. It is feared that the losses will prove enormous, and assistance is said to be needed nearly all through the Northwest where these fires have been raging. Tbe Operation of the Ku-Klux Law. A recent occurrence at Camden, in this State, demonstrates the ease with which the Ku-Klux law, in the bands of ignorant and malicious officials, becomes the instrument of injustice and persecution. Last July, two young men, of highly re? spectable family, named Ancrum and Boy kin, went into a store at Camden, kept by a man named Goss, who is the United States Assistant Assessor at that place. An alter? cation arose, and Goss was struck with a light cane. He swears tbat both Ancrum and Boy kin struck him, and called bim a-Radical ; but two disiaerested eye? witnesses, called by himself, swear that Goss was struck and cursed by Ancrum alone, and that Boykin, beyond being in company with Ancrum, bad .nothing to do with tbe affair. Immediately afterward, Goss took out a warrant against both Ancrum and Boykin for assault and battery, and the two youog men were arrested and bound over to appear at the next term of tbe Court of Gen? eral Sessions. Two months later-on Sep? tember 13-a warrant was issued against them, under the Ku-Klux act, for "conspiracy "against an officer of tbe United States." A squad of soldiers and a United States Marshal made the arrest, and on Wednes? day week both Ancrum and Boykin appear? ed before Commissioner Boozer at Columbia, and were bound over in tbe sum of $2000 to appear at the "Bloody Assizes" next No? vember. It is immaterial, for oor purpose, whether both Ancrum and Boykin did strike Goss. The evidence, excepting that of Goss him? self, exculpates Boykin entirely; but, if both Ancrum and Boykin were equally to blame, what was there in their conduct to make them guilty of "a conspiracy" against an officer of the United States? They went to the store, as the testimony showed, to buy some shoes. There was some talk about drinking a glass of beer, warm words passed, and Goss was struck, as we have said. But where is the evidence of con? spiracy? The witnesses brought forward by Goss swore that Boykin had no part in the petty fight One man cannot be guilty ot conspiracy; the essence of which ?3 the agreement of two or more persons to com? mit an unlawful act And if both Boykin ar_d Ancrum struck Goss, and were, both of them, properly arrested for assault and bat? tery, thia does not make them guilty of con? spiracy. Unless they formally agreed to beat Goss, because of bis official position or or his politics, they v? ?re not conspirators within the meaning of even the Ku-Klux act. No testimony is produced to prove a conspiracy; yet Boykin and Ancrum are forced to go to Columbia, at great expense and inconvenience, and are held to bail, in a large sum, to appear again in November. It is plain that the Ku-Klux act is a species of drag net which will hold big lisb and little lisb, whenever the Radical fishers of men choose to ca3t it into the bosom of the community. When an equivocal assault ia construed to be a conspiracy against the United States, it is high time for Congress to declare it felony to vote against President Grant at the coming elections. A mild mannered man, who dares to sneeze without permission irom Washington, is justas guilty of conspiracy against the government as are Messrs. Ancrum and Boykin. The thing would be a screaming farce, only that these broad jests sometimes end in blood-letting. -We are glad to see that the Camden Journal does not grudge its f^a?e ir. dis? cussing the case of Messrs. Boykin and Ancrum. The Southern press have very lillie influence in the North. Not one word in ten of what we say is believed. But we owe it to ourselves, and to those who will come after us, to expose, as often as weean, the practical working of tyrannical Radical legislation. Tlie Columbia liing. The war upon the Columbia Municipal Ring is carried on by the PAcenix wita vigor and judgment, but tbe South Carolina , Keyser* and Ingersolls will not abandon their schemes of plunder without a light As wo understand it, the condition of afluir? at the capital is this: The City Council, con? trary to the express,, d wishes of the tax? payers, advertised for contracts for the fJirrrdtBg-of a city hall and a market. Turee bids for the city ball were made, und two for the market To Senator Allen, as UK lowest bidder, was awarded the coutruct for the city hall ut S128.000; the contract for the market at Slb.Clt? being awarded to Smith & Simons. As these sums were vastly more than was expected lo be paid, some disinterested citizens, at the suggestion of the Phoenix, undertook to investigate the matter, and they soon obtained proof that the amount agreed upon wa3 $40,000 or '$50,000 more than the legitimate cost of the ijtwo buildings. They also discovered that Hhere wa3 only one genuine bid for each building-that ot' Allen, who is well-known "in connection with extravagant contracts for "putting a pane or glass" in the State capitol. No member of the Radical City Council raised his voice ageinst the mon? strous contracts; but Alderman Wigg did condescend io say that Columbia "was not "broke," and that "the amount of cash on "deposit in bank, and the revenue from "taxes in January would build both the ball "and market" This was reasraring. lt suggested, by way of consolation, that only the current income of the city was to be sac? rificed. Alderman Wi?g rose to explain on September 12, and, aa it now leaks out, at that very time the City Council had. in secret session, issued 3250.000 of new booda, which were placed in the hands of Dr. Neagle, the State Comptroller-General, as security for $75,000 advanced by him to the city. This loan was so arranged that Dr. Neagle, after the expiration of a limited period, had it io his power to sell the bonds, at any price, to satisfy his claim. We see, theD, tbat at the very moment tbat Alderman Wigg boasted of the city's ability to pay for the new public buildings out of current income, the Council had been driven to a questionable issue of boml?, amounting to a quarter of a million of dollars, to secure a Slate official for his advances to the city. -Nothing is to be expected from the City Council. The citizens should exhaust every weapon of offence before they abandon their crusade against the RiDg. They can appeal to the courts, and force the RiDg to under? stand tbat Columbia is anxious to rival the Northern cities in activity and progress, but never will quietly submit, as tbe price of her improvement, to schemes of plunder, which, considering the smallness of ter re? sources, put to shame tbe frauds and cheats of the corruptest clique of Northern politi? cians. In tbe stirring words of the Phccnix: It is time for the people themselves to look after their imperilled interests. Popular apathy is the opportunity of the pubiic plunderer ! What Kexll ^'in response to our statement that Sims or McClure, of Chester, was murdered by his wife's father, and not by Ku-Klu.\, as charged by the Columbia Union, that paper says: 2. "Bird SI ms alias McClure was murdered In Chester, as slated by us, but icc never men? tioned the name of Ku-Khtx as connected leith the affair, and CHALLEXUE TUE Ntws to prove to the contrary." The account of tbe murder of Sini3 was printed in the Union of August 23d, and it is contained in a letter dated Chester, Au? gust 22 J. That lhere may be no misunder? standing, we append the headiDg of the let * ter and its opening paragraph, as they ap" peared in the Union: FRO 31 CHESTER. KC KLUX EN CHESTER-ANOTHER VICTIM. CHESTER. August 22,1671. To the Editor of the Daily Union: I have io Inform you that last Tuesday night a band of white men visited the bouse ot Bird Sims, a colored man, living about twelve miles lrom the courthouse, on the plantation of Samuel McLilly, and broke Into Sims' house, when they beat him over the head terribly, and then dragged him out into the yard and shot seven bullets into him, killing him dead. . .*.** Sententious Touchstone explained to the melancholy Jaques tbe seven degrees of a lie: The first, the Retort Courteous ; the second, tbe Qiip Modest; thc third, ?be Reply Churlish; the fourth, the Reproof Valiant; tbe fifth, the Counter-check Quarrelsome; the sixth, the Lie iciih Circumstance; the seventh, the Lie Direct. When the Union declared that it never mentioned the name of the Ku-Klux in connection with tbe murder of Sims, it bad reached the sixth and seventh degrees of what is politely called conspicuous inexact-, Dess. f\ .financial.
