Tho Deinoorutio expenso for tho fiscal
year ODding JUDO 30. I860, was $77,1G2,
102.72. In contrast to thin, tho Radical
expouso for tho ABOS! year ending June
30, 1871, was $182,257,971.50. Tim
makes an excess of 6101,795,808.81 of
Radical expenditure for ono year ovor
Democratic expenditure during nu equal
period. Both tho years givon aro yours
of profound peace; Tho enormous nud
unreasonable sam of $18,000,000 tux is
paid by tho oonBumors upon tho mate?
rial used in tho manufacture of boots
and shoes, and the Govern mont only re?
ceives S3.500.000 of revenue from it.
Who got? ibo remaining $1-1,500,000?
Again, tho consumers of pig iron, salt,
blankets and oloakings aro taxed, under

only $8,000,000 go into tho Government
Treasury. "Who gots tho remaining
$51,000,000? Thc national banks pny

balance? On the gross manufactured
articles in this country, tho people aro
taxed afc least $900,000,000, of which the
Government reoeivos uboufc $200,000,000.
Who gets the balauce? Tho ordinary

A New York paper says:
..Tho honso of Hon. A. G.1 Cattell,
'CX-TJnited StnteB Senator, nt Mechanics
villb, N. J., was' robbed on Thursday
.night, while .Mr. Cattell and tho male
members of his family were absent.
Two masked" mea autered tho house,
nnd, presenting their revolvers at the
heads of tho frightened ladies, com?
manded, them to maka no noise on peril
of their lives. Watohes, jewelry, and a
silver service prosontod to the ?Senator
by his Philadelphia friends, woro taken
away by the thieves.;",
- Of course, these Sn Klux robbed Cat
tell of bis jowelry and silver-plate for
no other reason than that be is "truly
loyal and sustains the Government."
At any rate, the Southern Ru Klux com?
mit such outrages for no other reason,
and it ia natural to suppose that the
Now Jersey branch of the organization!
is actuated by tho same devilish motives.
General Grant should at once Buspend
the writ of habeas corpus in that State,
or the first thing bo knows these Ku
Klux may bo found some night knock?
ing nt tho beautiful gift-cottage at Long
Branch.
As ono of the significant signs of tho
times it may be noted that the New York
?sun (Radical) publishes tho annexed
paragraph, in doublo leaded italien, in
its editorial columna. Evidently tho
Gatlin-gnuners uro not to havo it all
their own way, cither outside or inside
their own party:
"When a President surrounds politi?
cal conventions with soldiers, in order to
exclude from thom those citizans who
aro opposed to bis renomination, tho
liberties of tho people aro in danger."

YELLOW FEVER IN CHARLESTON.-By
reference to our telegraphic despatchef,
it will be eeen that yellow fever, in a
' mild form, hua appeared in Charleston,
und is becoming epidemic. The action
of tho Medical Soeicty is .summed up by
tho Courier as follows:
"The Medical Society, at its meeting
yesterday, announced tho existeuce ol'
yellow fever, to a limited extent. Tho
first CUSP, they state, occurred ou tho
27th of July, aud yet tho whole number
of deaths in tho month ensuing from
thafc period is placed at nine. It is,
thereforo, apparent that thoy are sus?
tained in their conclusion 'that tho mor?
tality is exceedingly small, and would
seem to indicate a mild form of tho dis?
ease.' Another fact is that the largo
majority of tho cases havo occurred in
one locality, pointing to tho evident con?
clusion that its presence is duo to the
blame ii ble neglect of tho hygiene of tho
city in that locality, and to the boliof
that as mousurcs havo boon taken to ?ru
. move the on use, the effect, it is hoped,
will cease. Whilo the Medioal Society
have felt it their duty to state, frankly
and candidly, tho true condition of tho
facts, they express their judgment 'that
the period of time that has elapsed since
the roport of the first ouse, deolaroB a
cbaraotor of disease not disposed to ex?
tend rapidly or widely.' Wo aro in?
formed that of the thirty-six cases, which
are reported ia the last mooth, many
were mild and ephemeral in their cha?
racter.
"^During tho summer montha past
drains havo been oponed, their oontents
used in tho filling up of streets, and tho
earth exposed, to the action of tho sun.
From these local causes there bad been
some few cases of fever, but such as
generally would bo tho necessary result,
and not even amounting to tho ordinary
mortality ut this season of tho year. As
to tho character of tho fever, tho physi?
cians themselves differed, and thorn lins
been, heretofore, no official statement
upon whioh tho press could form auy
judgment."
We learn, through a private sonre??,
that Sheriff Hurly, of Cabntrus County,
N, C., committed suicide, on friday
night, by shooting himself with a gun.
A BRITISH REPUBLIC.-Sumo of the
Northern pnpers ure speculating upon
the probable establishment o.f u republic
in Great Britain. It is said that sovorul
well-known political agitators, who wore
associated with Odger, in the Hyde
Park demonstration, wore passengers re?
cently on the steamship Brooklyn, from
Livorpool for Now York, and that their
mission was to confer with leadiug Fe
niaus in this country iu reference to tho
organization of a movement for the
establishment of a British Republic, im?
mediately after tho demiso of Queen
Victoria. This event, thoy Bay, cannot
bo very far off, and thou thero will be u
simultaneous rising in the three great
cities' of the empire, London, Dublin
and Ediuburgh.

CITIZENS OF OR ANO Enu no COUNTY:
When the laws of a country, by which a
pooplo are governed, fail to protect per?
son aud property, or to mete out justice
impartially by redressing injuries or
punishing offences, when crimes multi?
ply fearfully, and enormities aro perpe?
trated against tho dignity of the law,
and no means found to correct them,
whon these enormities aro perpetrated
by a class of officials illegally elected,
and, in no way, the represeutatives of
those whom they role; and when all the
ends of justice are defeated by the inca?
pacity of tho law and tho imbecility and
dishonesty of the rulers, it becomes ne?
cessary for tho people thus oppressed to
associate themselves together and full
hack upon the universal law of self-do*
fenco for protection.
We aro, therefore, among yon, fellow
citizens, not as enemies, but friends.
Our purpose is to protect and defend tho
honest citizen, to punish the evil doer,
and to correct the evils which threaten
us with political ruin. This alone is our
purpose. It must-it shall bo accom?
plished. .
We would assure our oolorod citizens
thut they need feel no apprehensions of
danger. We live in the samo country;
our interests are identical; and the rule
that oppresses the white must oppress
the colored citizen. We will abridge no
right, or disturb you in the enjoyment
of a single privilege. Go on with your
I peaceful labors in the pursuit of pros?
perity aud happiness. Help us to re?
deem the country. We are your pro?
tectors.
To carpet-bag office-holders, we say,
wind up your affairs. Your "ring" must
break, and your Radical roguery must
end. Be warned.
Itinerant carpet-baggers and politi?
cians, wire-pullers who travel about
sowing seeds of strife among honest citi?
zens, go to a more Northern latitude.
It would be healthier and safetier for
yon. Be warned.
Dishonest merchants who deal in seed
aotton, or in any way traffic illegally,
tho whipping-post is your remedy. De?
sist, evil-doers; crimes must cud; enor?
mities must cease.
Honest citizens, white and colored, go
ou in the pursuit of happiness. We uro
your protectors and defenders.
All orders from these headquarters
shall bo obeyed.

A correspondent of tho Charleston
Courier says:
Tho above ?B a correct copy of an
order posted in the village of Orange
burg, ou tho night of the 21st instant,
by the Ku Klux. Their numbers are
variously estimated from 100 to 350, but
there was probably only about 100.
They seemed to approach the town from
all directions, and loft iu the same man?
ner. The quiot of tho place was not
disturbed in tho least. They were seen
Ivy only ton or twelve persons who hap?
pened to be awake at tho timo, which
was about I o'clock. Tho citizeus gene?
rally scorn to pay littlo attention to tho
affair, except those mentioned. Oue of
these, a member of tho Legislature, says
ho never intends having anything moro
to do with politics, or to attend the Le?
gislature again. Another says ho never
was a Radical, and if tho Jv. K's. call a
meeting and give him au opportunity,
ho will join ut ouce. Another says he bas
Si,000 worth of property, but will take
$1,000 for it nud leave ut once. Others
ure congratulating themselves (though it
is not their fault) that they hold no
office, and therefore they will not be
hurt.
The seod-cotton buyers aro humming
a very different tune from tho one they
havo recently been singing so loud. Upoti
the whole, in certain circles, "the goose
doesn't look so lovely." The effect will
bo salutary, it is to bo hoped.
Wo h ave had strong winds, with rather
cool rains overy day for about a week,

THE UNITED STATES COUHT AT GREEN?
VILLE.-The Greenville Mountaineer says
the United States Court, Hon. Judgo
Bryan prosidiug, now in session at that
placo, has for several days past boon al?
most exclusively ocoupied with criminal
business. Tho case of Wiley A. Bishop,
indicted for forging a United States
draft, after occupying three days, result?
ed in an acquittal. But one "Ku Klux"
case, that of tho Unitod States vs. Joha
Vandivor, of Spartauburg, has been
tried. The only evidence which con?
nected tho prisoner with tim offence, was
of tho most vague and indefinito kind;
yoi, to the surprise of everybody, tho
jury made a mis-trial, three colored men
aud ono white man standing out for a
conviction. Tho Court will tako up tho
remainder of tho Ku Klux cases, eight
in number, and continuo thom until all
nro disposed of. Messrs. Carlisle aud
Duncan, of Spartauburg, defend in all
of these cases.
A WEAK ATTEMPT AT KO KLUXING.
Mr. I. I. Davis iuforms us tbat ou Thurs?
day uigbt last, a party of some five per
HO LB iu disguise waited upon him luto at
uigbt, at his residence, representing
themselves to be Ka Klux. It seems
that some fifteen days previous to tho
raid, a negro and white man-both, we
believe, living on Mr. Davis' land-had
an altercation in his yard. Tho white
mau struck the negro several times, WUH
indicted thorefor and lodged iu jail.
Thu raiding purty seemed to regard Mr.
Davis ns aiding und abetting the uegro
in tire prosecution of the white mau, und
hu was informed that such would nut bc
tolerated. Ile told tb-ni t hut he bud no?
thing to do with the prosecution; on thu
contrary, hud tried to make it up be.
tweou the parties. Could have induced
tho uegro to compromise, but thu white
man was averse to uny concession. Also
informed them that he thought the. negro
hud dono nothing inore thuu ho ought to
have done, and did not regard, in ibu
least, their threats. Finding that they
had failed to intimidate, tho valorous five
loft, but not before leaving tnuny warn?
ings for tho future. Mr. Davis Bays hu
hus no iden that they wore genuine. Ku
Klux, but regards it a weuk attempt ou
tho part of a few irresponsible sympa?
thizers of tho jailed white mau, to
frighten him ou account of his supposed
complicity with tho prosecution. He
thinks the geuuiue "order" ought to get
hold of these .spurious fellows thus prac?
ticing upon their mun o and offices, and
gives it to them soundly for attempting
to encourage viol?t iou? of the law. We
think so. too; but thu chief difficulty, in
our opinion, lies in the old saying,
"catching; before bunging." There cnn
bo no doubt that it is just such irrespon?
sible and lawless men as wuited upon
Mr. Davis who are bringing all this evil
upon the couutry -in pursuit of their
own private grudges, and for which the
whole. South is held responsible in the
eyos of tho Northern masses.

Tm: ALLIANCE BETWEEN FIIANCE AND
RUSSIA.-Tbo World's London corres?
pondent, writing on the 12th, gives the
following in confirmation of the* reported
Franco-Russian alliance:
On the night of the 10th instant, I wat
able to telegraph you the importun)
news-I think exclusively-that thert
was good reason to believe that an under?
standing in the nature of un ulliance,
offensive and defeusive, lind been arri voil
at between Russia aud France, as ngains
Germany and Austria, nnd that Russo
was armiug extensively and rapidly. My
information came to mo from the highes
source, and there can bo no question, ]
think, tbat events ere long will prove i ti
entire correctness. No doubt you u
onoe connected this report with the im
periul meeting at Gastein; und elnar 1;
the two events have something to di
with each other. On tho 11th, the dnj
after I sent you my despatch, the follow
ing appeared iu tho Daily Telegraph:
DALZU?ita, Thursday, August 10--A 2<
P. M.-I havo the best authority fo
stating that the military organization ii
Russiu is now being pushed on at higl
pressure, tho Prussian system of forcei

If what I am assured b? the actui
fact-aud my information is'froara goo
quarter-everything in Vpoliticul neun
promises fuvorably for the' future rob
lions of Germany and Austria. TL
only grouud for apprehension is undo
stood to lie in tho possibility of nu ull

havo reason for believing that this coi

meeting of tho Emperors at Gasteii
will bo ono of tho questions most set
onsly discussed during their interview
Tho Emperor William is to bu at Iso!
to-morrow, whore ho is to bo receive
by the Emperor of Austria.
At almost tho same moment when th

Cottut Kunst, advocating a permauei
alliance, between Austria and German
und hinting that this alliuuco would I
consummated during tho interview
tho two Emperors at Guste in. An
finally, the Globe of Inst night contait
the following paragraph:
What every seusible mind oxpecti
that Russia would do, Russia has don
viz: mude a demonstration of her nav
power in the erewbilo neutral water
What every sensible mind would expec
Turkey to do under such a contingenc
Turkey has done, viz: maile a repr

from a quarter which wo cannot but r
gard as authoritative, that a countur-d
moustratiou is to be made in tho Haiti
and that tho vessels which will take pn
in it will bo neitbor American, Frene
German, Italian, or Turkish! (but En

car robber and two would-be murderers
ure in custody; but, says the Herald, "us
they belong lo a class who generully

JEALOUSY.-This is, in oue sense, a
weak passion; in another, it is evidence
of exalted sentiment and deep devotion.
When told that "Jehovah is a ^jealous
God," we at once understand tbat idol
worship is obuoxious to.tho Supxeme
Being-that He Krill visit with just in?
dignation those who, forsaking Fi is
divino altars, bow down to Baal-make
unto themselves false deities, and fling
defianoe into His face, by whose, incom?
prehensible wisdom und might they were
fashioned iu curious and wonderful form,
endowed with intelligence, and made
partakers of an immortal hereafter. If
retribution overtake such as reject, both
revelation and reason, who shall gain-say
omnipotence? This figurative expres?
sion, "Lain a jealous God," ia readily
understood by those willing to be in?
structed, aud is easily explained by re
flectiou and common sense.
But there is another and a different
jealousy experienced by fallible humani?
ty, which is, perhaps, one of the most
tortuous agonies incident to its meutal
Constitution. So carefully doe3 strong
love set its guards about the beloved,
that every light thiug ?B heeded; its very
vigilance indicates its strength. Argus
oyed, it looks ou every side, detecting,
with keen, prescience, any lurking ill
which threatens its objeot, and trem?
blingly alive to any influence which may
estrange tho affection which has become
"lifo of lifo" to,', the loving. No postu?
late, founded in reason, fails to find its
expression ia' the, illuminated pages of
tho Bard of Avon. Accordingly ho de?
clares:
"Wlioro little fr nra grow groat, great lovo
grows there."
Jeulousy, in common acceptation, of
the term, is regarded by many people us
a mean sentiment, but such should re?
flect that only strong and impassioned
natures are capable ot' beiug torn by tho
vultnro fuugs of this cruel malady. An
upright aud generous heart never fully
admits the tortuous and malign pre?
sence of jealousy till it sees iucoutestible
proof that there is room for its indul?
gence. Then come days robed in black?
ness, nights of horror, aud tho guawiug
of a viper which cats out tho heurt by a
slow and never ceasing process. Like
the paralyzed bird, which trembles and
scuds forth wailing shrieks under tho
serpent's thrall, yet can, by no means,
escape, does tho victim of jeulousy writhe
beneath its galling iudictions.
It is tho glory tif transparent nature,
that none of its nets aro calculated to
rouse this cruel demon iu the bosom of
fricud or lover. The candid mau or
woman seldom causes suffering to those
most deeply interested in him or her, for
tho simple reason that, avoiding all
double-dealing and art, even jeulousy
stands in abeyance before the sun-light
of its truth. There are minds, wo ad?
mit, infeoted with jealousy-the very
gangrene of happiness-but these aro
only rarely encountered, and we find, for
the most part, that those who cause jea?
lousy are unworthy of nndoubtiug trust.
