Thursday Morning. April 18,1872.
The l.lbera.1 Republican Meeting In
New lurk.
Gratz Brown, at Topeka, Kansas, and
now Trumbull and Sohatz, at Cooper
Institute, have been heard. These threo
may fairly be considered as the spokes?
men of the liberal Republican reform
movement. They were the originators
of it, and are now among its ablest and
most earnest supporters. The senti?
ments they have expressed aad the po?
licy they have foreshadowed may safely
be regarded as a trustworthy index to
the spirit and political characteristics of
the Cincinnati Convention; and if we
can endorse the one, we may reasonably
hope not to ha disappointed in the other.
The utterances of these eminent Repub?
licans establishes, beyond all question,
the fact there is not to-day a singlo ma?
terial and distinctive point of division
between true Republicanism and genu?
ine Democracy. Upon the questions of
the rights of the States, tho constitu?
tional limitations upon the powers of
the General Government, and the indo
pendenoe of the co-ordinate departments
of the Government-the judiciary, the
legislative, and the exeoutive-Messrs.
Brown, Trumbull and Schurz express
-themselves es emphatically, as unequi?
vocally, and with all the earnestness and
apparent sincerity that could be ex?
pected of the staunchest Democrats in
the land. It is significant in this con?
nection to note the declaration of Fred.
Douglass, the leading negro in the
United States,, who boldly asserts that
he opposes the movement headed by
Schurz and Trumbull, because it favors
States riglUs.
The tendency of the Grantites to cen?
tralization and the utter subversion of
the right of local self-government which
has been charged against them, is thus
made manifest. Fred. Douglass only
honestly avows those opinions which ho
has gathered from his association with
the adherents of Grant, and which the
majority of thom-the leaders, at least
entertain as warmly as does Fred. Dou?
glass, but are afraid to announce it yet.
The sovereignty of the States in matters
of local self-government, which is the
very oornor-Btone of the Constitution
and the strongest defence of republican
liberty, is still acknowledged and ad?
hered to by a vast majority of the patri?
otic and intelligent people of the coun?
try. They only desire to ignore it who,
like Fred. Douglass, have rcoeived their
political caste from the high-handed,
extraordinary and unconstitutional me?
thods of conducting the Government,
excusable only, if even then, by the exi?
gencies of a gigantic civil war; or .like
Grant, are aiming at despotic power; or
like his 60,000 office-holders, aro hanker?
ing for a life interest in fat places, or in
opportunities to live luxuriously at tho
pablio expense. Against centralization
against corruption-against hatred of
the South-against military encroach?
ment-against lavish expenditures and
an unequal and burdensome taxation
Schurz, Trumbull, Brown and the host
of Republican patriots in sympathy with
them have raisod the banner of reform
and of reconciliation, and are striking
for a retara to constitutional forms of
government which the war has deranged.
In this return, all good men, whatever
their past politics, can consistently unito.
The pervading spirit that character?
izes the speeches of all these distin?
guished men is that of conciliation and
friendship to tho South, and un appre?
ciation of and sympathy with our pre?
sent sad and almost desperate condition.
It is, indeed, gratifying to hear such
noble, patriotic and fraternal expres?
sions. It makes ns to feel that wo have
yet some acknowledged titlo to a part
and parcel ia our common country, and
that we are not considered as foos and
aliens, fit only to be the prey of such
unscrupulous adventurers from every
quarter of tho globe as may see proper
to swarm upon us and pick the little
bones of property that the war has loft.
Had this policy of kiadness and states?
manlike conciliation, advocated now by
the liberal Republicans, diotated the
ooarse of the General Government to?
wards the South sinco peace has been
declared, there would not bo to-day one
man in a thousand among tho South?
erners who would not now rejoico in his
heart at the result of tho conflict, aud
feel proud of being an American citizen.

\
The Effect of Johnson'? Amnesty Fro
olamatlon,
The Supreme Court bas made another
decision, in which it is held th it John?
son's amnesty proclamation ia ui fall
force and effect, and relieves all South?
erners of the ponalties or disabilities of
what is called disloyalty. This is an
important deoision to a largo number of
people in the South who had property
taken or destroyed by tho Federal army
during the war, and who can now sue
for its recovery in tho Court of Claims,
without being compelled to avow their
loyalty aud to swear that they gave no
aid or comfort to the rebellion. As
Sherman's army subsisted almost en?
tirely upon commissary and quarter?
masters stores gathered along the line of
march while passing through this State,
there are, doubtless, thousands upon
thousands of dollars that may be reco?
vered now by dur impoverishod^citizens,
who have hitherto been debarred from
presenting their claims on account of
the presumed necessity of proving non
participation in the rebellion. The
valuo of all horses, mules, cattle, wagons,
provisions, or property of any sort,
taken for the use of the army, or de?
stroyed for military purposes, belonging
to private individuals, we presume can
now be recovered by any person, whe
thor he be one of the "truly loyal" or
not. The abstract of the decision, as
given iu the New York World, is aa fol?
lows:
No. 36.-PARQONDVS. UNITED STATES.
-ArrEAL FROM THE COURT OF CLAIMS.
This was a proceeding to recover the
proceeds of ootton seized under the
Captured and Abandoned Property Act
of 18G3, and was argued at the last term
of the ooart. The Court of Claims dis?
missed the petition, on the ground that
it did not aver that tho oluimant had
given no aid and comfort to the rebel?
lion, nor sufficiently aver Executive par?
don. It is here held, (the same as in
the case of Armstrong vs. United States,
recently deoided,) that the President's
proclamation of December 25, 1868,
granting pardon and amnesty uncondi?
tionally and without reservation, relieves
the claimants, in cases under the Cap?
tured and Abandoned Property Act,
from proof of adhesion to the United
States during the late war. Tho judg?
ment dismissing the petition is reversed.
The Chief Justice delivered the opi?
nion.
That Everlasting Treaty.
The latest roliable information which
our exchanges give us in relation to the
Genova arbitration indicate that there is
no prospect of a speedy determination
of the competency or admissibility of the
American claim for indirect damages.
The British Government has presented
its counter case at the time appointed,
the 15th inst., ignoring entirely the Ame?
rican count for indirect damages. This
courso was adopted, it would appear,
with the acquiescence of Mr. Soheuck,
with a view to fulfill tho rcquiremeuts
as to the time of presenting the counter
oases, and thus prevent tho treaty from
falling through. The English Govcru
mont entertains tho hope that America
will, before tho 15th of Juno, when tho
Board of Arbitrators will meet-and, as
wo uuderstand it, the arguments of
counsel be heard-be induced to relin?
quish her extravagant claims as a sine
qua non to the further continuance of
the arbitration. In tho determination
not to permit thu claim for indirect
damuges, tho Government, Parliament,
tho press and the people of England ap?
pear to be firmly settled. There is no
evidenco of a dissenting voice from any
class or quarter. It would seem, then,
thal, tho only chance of the consumma?
tion of the Washiugton treaty rests upon
the humiliating alternative left Uraut of
backing down from tho position assumed
in the framing of the American case. lu
a despatch to tho Now York Herald, from
Europe, it is stated that Messrs. dish?
ing, Davis aud Evarts, counsel fur the
American Government, express the opi?
nion that siueo Imgland has presented
her couuter caso tho arbitrators will go
on to mako their decision, despite the
subsequent withdrawal of Euglaud.
Should that bo dono, aud tho decision
bo fuvorublo to England, or the sum
awarded bo not greater thuu that coun?
try is willing to pay, it might finally bo
agreed to; and, in this way, the muddled
controversy at lust rcccivo its quietus.
In any ovent, Grant will bc damned for
all timo to como for his diplomatic .stu?
pidity.

POOR SOUTH CAROLINA.-Not content?
ed with nearly the entire Legislature,
the negroes of South Carolina, it is said,
havo concluded to put negroes in all the
executive offices of tho State, except
that of Governor. Tho programme, as
laid down by a correspondent of u
, Charleston paper, is as follows: "For
Governor, Franklin J. Moses, Jr., white;
for Lieutonant-Governor, A. J. Hausier;
for Attorney-General, lt. B. Elliott; for
Secretary of Slate, NV. II. Jones; for
Adjutant and Iuspector-Geuoral, Itobort
Smalls-all black." South Carolina will
bo a glorious commonwealth under such
a regime.'-Savannah Republican.
Bismarck was boru ou tho 1st of April;
he's no iool, howover.
HEOKEB'S OlBCUIiAB.-The office?
holders are very moon excited overa
circular, in German, recently issued by
Frederiok Heoker, of Illinois, and now
going through the German papers. Mr.
Heoker is a strong man, virtually the
laader of German Republicanism in
Illinois, and hence the excitement. The
circular begins with a history of the
party, dwells on the causes of ita rise
and decline, and finally exhibit? what
the writer considers tho only issues ^jvi
before the American people, na follows:
1. Amnesty or disfranchisement.
2. Relations of the nevera! Staten to
the Federal Government-centralization
or federation.
3. Reform of tho civil ant vico and
opposition to corruption.
4. Freo trade or protection.
5. Questions of taxation ami the
liquidation of tho national debt.
ti. Monopoly in commerce and trade.
7. Tho one term priuciple.
8. Questions of international rights.
Following this, Mr. Hocker saya as
long as slavery existed, wo had two par?
ties standing upon priuciple-tho ouo
upou slavery and tho other upon aboli?
tionism; but now, the Republican party,
so-called by tho Administration, has
yielded the dovotion to principle to a de?
votion to personal service; or, in other
words, to personal gain. He concludes
in these words:
"One thing must be evident to every
thoughtful mun, viz: that if the ship of
this republic continues to steer iu the
direction in which it is now Bailing, she,
hitherto tho refuge of the wholo free
human race, will be doomed to tho fate
of ottejar republics, and go to wreck. Lot
us, thou, call together meotipgs in
every place in thc land, and choose mcu
worthy of tho confidence and of tho
great duty before them, so that on the
first of May tho really honest people may
aot upou the trno principles of free go
I vernment."
Wo give tho abo va us a news item of
gravo interest at this moment. Tim
whole country is looking eagerly to?
wards tho liberal Republican Convention
at Cincinnati; und liberals, especially in
the West, cannot fail to bo moved by
such utterances from such u man as
Hecker.
Haviug enlarged tho number of offices
beyoud all bouuds, a disposition ia now
manifested by Congress to enlarge the
scope of legislatiou, so as to eudow a
number of wild cat schemes for thu be?
nefit of curtain rings. Prominent among
these is ouo devised for the bcueiit of
Pomeroy's Monds iu Kansas, providing
for the reservation of tho Yellow Stone
regioD as a national park. It donates
1,800 square miles of this country to a
corporation authorizing tho leaso of
hotel sites, bathing places, and other
luxurious appurtenances for the attrac?
tion of visitors, and possesses till the
elemouts of a monstrous monopoly.
Another scheme is for the establishment
of a national university, aud quarters off
au innumerable number of learned Ra?
dicals at fat salaries-seventeen profes?
sors of science, fourteen of philosophy,
twenty-eight of belle-letters, fifteen of
history, fifteen of flue urtu, sixteen of
law, thirty-two of medicine, nineteen of
agriculture, and a score more ou naval
and military science Sociology and
scholasticism are to bu taught, us well as
the Celtic aud Hungarian languages, and
learned pundits are to bo tn rn eil out of
the intellectual mill by the hundreds,
all duly crammed for ruling the country.
Did ever anybody hear of such follies us
these gravely contemplated bj* tho Con?

THU KU KLUX TTUALS -In the United
States Circuit Court, held at Charleston.
S. C., Monday, April 15, Judges Bond
and Bryan presiding, the following canns
wero disposed of:
Miles Mcculloch, of York County,
plead guilty of conspiring against Henry
Brown and Brutus Good.
Couusul was assigned by tho Court to
Wesley Smith, Leunder Spenser aud I
William Smith, who pleaded not guilty
to charges of co us pi moy aud murder. \
The case of William Lowery, of York
County, charged with conspiracy against
Dick Wilsou, was then taken up. The
defendant pleaded not guilty, aud Col
S. P. Humiltoh und Muj. Hart appeared
as his counsel. Objection was rinsed to
tho proceeding of tho District Attorney,
iu ordering u juror to stand aside after
two jurors.had been selected, and was
argued by both sides.
Judgo Bond directed that the names of
the iiiaeteen jurors of tho first panel
who attended tho court should bo put
into tho box, und that the first twelve
names of thc extra panel of thirty sum
monal by thu Mardbal bo put in tu make
up thirty-one, aud thirty-six uumcii were
called before the requisite twelve jurors
wore obtained.
Tho following aro tho names of the
jurors as tho jury was finally formed:
Gilbert Pillsbury, white, foreman; John
C. C. Levy, white; James F. Green,
white; Thornes W. Berry, whito; Jumes
Dobbin, white; Charlea A. Darling,
white; James Moultrie, colored; Lee
Brewer, colored; John S. Edwards,
colored; Alfred Birch, colored; Bmx ton
Brown, colored, aud Matthew Wilson,
colored.
Tho indictmentcoutains four counts
charging tho defendant, first, with con?
spiring in April, 1871, against citizens
to prevent their voting in October, 1M72;
second, conspiring iu April, 1871,
against citizens because of their voling
iu October, 1870; third, conspiring in
April, 1S71, against Dick Wilson, a co?
lored citizen of York County, to prevent
him from voting in October, lS7'-2; und,
fourth, conspiring against Dick Wilson
because he had voted in October, 1S70,
for A. S. Wallace as member of Con?
gress-ull in violation of the Euforce
nicut Act of May, lb70.
After the testimony on the part of the
prosecution and argument by couusel on
both bides of tho case, Judgo Bond
charged the jury as follows:
Ile said that tho law of conspiracy was
simple. A conspiracy was an agreement
to do a lawful thiug by unlawful meaos,
or to do au unlawful thing by lawful
moans. If a person goes into un orga?
nization having for its object thu intimi?
dation of voters, he becomes thereby
guilty of a conspiracy for that purpose.
There wero three ways of finding out
the objecta of a conspiracy. Oue was
by tho agreement itself; or it could be
ascertained by the statements made by
its members of its objects; or it could be
shown by showing what tho organization
did in pursuance of its object. They
must lind not only that a conspiracy ex?
isted, but that it had tho object charged
iu the indictment. This need not bo its
solo purpose, but it must bo one of its
objects. Then they must find that tho
defendant was a member of this conspi?
racy, and in that case, they must lind a
verdict of guilty. If they did not lind
theso facts to exist, they wero bound to
return a verdict of acquittal.
Tho jury retired at 8.55 V. M., nud
after nu absence of forty-live minutes,
returned with a verdict of guilty on tho
lirst, second and third counts of the in?
dictment, and not guilty us to the fourth.
The defendant was then remanded for
sentence.

PHOENIX, HOOK AND LADDER COMPANY.
This company, which is as great a ne?
cessity in preventing tho spread of fire
as Cur fire engines, has been allowed to
languish, without a spurk of life, for the
past three years. Captain Jeans, with
the assistance of two or three others,
hus secured a fine truck and sofera! ex?
cellent ladders, and all that there is of
good in this indispensable Organization
is due to the worthy efforts of these
three or four gentlemen. At the last
meeting of the company it was decided
that the entire apparatus should be
turned over to any number of persons
who would form an active organization
under the charter of the Phceuix. Oar
young townsman, Herman S. Johnson,
has brought his energy and experience as
a fireman to the work of perfecting a new
organization that shall be a power for
defence in time of fire, and, at the same
time, perhaps, tho pride and pet of the
city. About forty young men in the
city have determined to take immediate
action, and we learn that several of our
prominent merchants have expressed
their determination to sustain the
organization. This evening, at 8 o'clock,
the first meeting will be held in the hall
of tho Independent Company. Captain
