The Union speaks often and with muet seeming horror of th?* "terrible ont reges", which have been oatmmttted bj the Ea Klux. -There is no telling'whore the Union would Btop if its wild imagi? nation were not .stayed now and then Itv its "Ea Klux iriund." Borne time since, wbilo in ono of its mauufaoturiug moodf -for the Union is a great mannfaoturei ajr?^nllitflry: pro?eetionis*-it alluded^ xiilh 'great patboajlto .tho''"thousands ol victims who ?ll bloody graves." Thil was a pretty rapid stride, even for thc Union, and we began to suspect, righi away, that onr Eu Klux martyr had been adding to his outrage manufacturing machinery, in anticipation of a heavy press of business daring the Presidential campaign. So we set about to ascertain, if possible, what genuine and original materials these "thousands of viotimti" bad been made from. We had been told by ? reliable gentium au, who had takeu the trouble >ta go through th?v?lumiuout testimony1; takeu in thu Ku Klux oases, and printed foy the Union, that f oar toen was the oqt^tdp number of bomioidos referred to by ?ny and all the witnesses. We called appa the Union then to name twenty homiouloa, .which had-.boen com? mitted byihalEoi Klux as each, except the men who were taken from the jai] at Union and executed by Lynch law, Two or three days thereafter, tho UAior replies with a list "hastily thrown to? gether from memory," comprising just even twenty names,, and.challenges as tc deny a ?ingle oae ot. thom.

T(tjsj$jy fpe ^rtjion,'."includes non of your - pretended Lynch. law, exoep tiona." If it does not, it comps hex door to it: The list includes One/'l least, who should be excluded on th same gronpds as the exception? whio we.made. . . f Since thia list waa published, we;bav been told -by a gentleman from Unip that Mao Bobo, who heads it, macje "hi escape'from Union jail the night thc the Mat. Stevens marderers were ehe or hang, and that he was afterward caught and , killed on Broad River. H was about as fit a subj eot for Lynch la as the Stevens mur dor ora. / He ha barned the dwelliog-house, smoke-hone end all tho out-houses of a JMr. Este leaving him. and hie family without shelter; had acknowledged bis orimi and boasted that he couldn't bo pnnishe loir it. So maoh for Mao Bobo. Sorel his death,' Mr. Union, was not, a E Klux outrage, in the sense in which yo wonld have them ihterpre^pd^/Whioh wilful ai 1 malicious murdos, Mth pol tical animosity as th? motive. As to tho balance of the li?t, wo recoj niee the greater part of the names i those upon whloh pto^eouliopa ha\ been based in the United'Stetes Court Borne of the names wer have ?never sec or heard of aa being those'of persoi killed by the Ka Klux; but wo know n thing of them, and, therefore, will m undertake positively to. deny that the were to killed. . How, though, Mr. Un io are we or the .pubjia generally to knoi from aught that you ? have Bhown aa your ar tide, or anywhere else* that son of the names of these unknown inda duals were not shoved in to make up tl even twenty,, qr that, in throwing the together :''hastily from memory," y< did not make come mistakes? By-tbe-way, Mr. Union, you mn have a remarkable memory.

Truly, you are a won derful mani But to our main subject. There an tho names of two persons, Mr. Union, ii your list, which we do deny to have beet murdered by Ku Klux. They are Mr and Mrs. Melton, of Cheater field. Theirs if the accounts we have heard of it b< true, and we have no reason to doubt it was a most dastardly and brutal murder bat what authority have you for sayinj that Eu Kjax committed tho deed, 01 that there ever was a Ku Klux Klan it Chesterfield County? - Wc have heard of kiana, or bodies o men, armed and in disguises, ia thc Oounties of York, Chester, Fairfield Union and Spartanbnrg. We have neve: heard of any iu the other twenty-six oi seven Counties of tho State, and cer toinly not in Chesterfield County. Mr Melton was, we have heard, a Bepnbli oan, and we are inclined to believe wai assaulted and murdered on account o his political opinions. Suoh being thi case, his murderers are proper subject of punishment under the Enforcemen Acts of Congress, which is more thai oan be said of many others. This article is already drawn ou longer than we like, bat before we close Mr. Union, we desire to say a few word in relation to what you term our sympa thy with, and defence of, Ku Klux out rages. We justify none of the murder whiob have been oommitted, but we ex ouse or apologise for, if , you like tha term battery; dome of the homicide which have boen committed, and whiol you term Ku Klux outrages. Suoh, fo iuBtanoe, as tho execution of tho mm dorera of Mat. Btovens, the hanging c Jim Williams, and the killing of Ma Bobo, perhaps, and one or two otheri It is a miserable state of affairs, whe the people have to take the law in tbei own hands, and suoh a course shoal not be resorted to exaept under the mot dire necessity. Saoh neoessity, we b< lieve, existed io the caaes we have mei tioned. The Ka Klux, then, in our judgmon did some things which were necessary I be doue,: and are, therefore, excusable 1 to them. They afterwards oommitted number of inhuman atrocities for whic there ?&. noi excuse, and they deserve tl foll punishment of the law ihereio Tho original purpose of the organizatio .called Ko?Klux was manifestly to seri tho leo?s of., a vigilance committee, i order to proteot Ufo and property, g long as it followed that line, and the: was a necessity for it, tho laws not bfM'r daly administered by.the proper oour of justice, it was d'efenrnble; when it f( from that high-estate and became the i s tr a mont morely of private and politic revengo and malice, it became indefeni ble, ; and ita nets may, with truth, 1 balled outrages. ht But wo do not mean to allow you, ii Union, or your, party in this State, wa toniy to exaggerate the twelve or foo teen murders which were oommitted the Stato, foul though they be, in "thousands," and thus attempt to justi the tyrannical nota ol Gen. Grant, i your testimony.before the courts abc only fourteen murders. No effort w made to bring the offenders to justioe the State courts, nor even by the cr authorities in the United States Oour For fourteen murders, then, and whe there had been no resistance whatever oivil authority, the writ of Jiabeas corp was suspended and nine Oounties of t Stato, in several of whioh a Ku Kl Klan had never been seen, were puto der martial law. Finally, Mr. Union, you lay gr? stress upon the fact that a largo numb of ignorant white men, nine-tenths whom could neither read Dor writ plead guilty before a "packed jury am court organized to oonviet." They <3 plead guilty, it ia true, but of what? \ wore there, and heard all the coofessioi Not a single one, as we recollect, thou they were all anxious to say overythi that would please Judge Bond, admitt that the alleged outrages were committ on account of politics, whioh was t whole gist of the offence When askc they would say, "I plead guilty to bei on one or more raids." "What did y do?" "Well, we whipped this man 1 stealing, or that man for killing anott ? i i ,i , , ... '...Ljumnrm; colored man's oz, or another (or selling whiskey near a ohnrcb," &o. Many o! these were shameless outtages, some wfafre sot, pad none were violations of. the Enforcement Acts of Congress. POIATI c A JJ JOT TINO n. -The Washi ngtcm Patriot makes ont a liet of. 2,104 p^era which support Greeley, to 1,407 whibh .support .Grant. The Metropolitan Record deolares that "tile Irishmen i?, America owe Horace Greeley a dept which can _only be paid by eleoting ,him .President," Thia is true, and the Record is assured .that the Irishmen in America Intend to see to it that the debt is promptly paid. General Grant liss taken the liberty of inserting his band into tho public treasu? ry and taking therefrom {?75,000 of the people's money to pay for an old letter or two, the publication1 of which he thinks will help him in the campaign. Oonld a more striking argument be made in favor of Mr. Greeley's one-term prinoiple? . Says the St. Joseph (Mo.) Gazelle: "A gentleman who has visited every portion of Nebraska recently, informs us that there is not the shadow of a doubt that Greeley and Brown will carry that Stato by a handsome majority. The solid old Republicans of the State are coming over to the wood-chopper's standard by hundreds." FRAUDS DETECTED.-D.'M.

A FIREMAN. THE SPECIAL TRBM OF THE UNITED STATES Cinoon COOBT NOT TO BB HELD. It was recently intimated in the News that some difficulty had been encoun? tered in the arrangements for the spe? cial term of the United States Circuit Court, which was ordered to be held at Columbia next month, and it is now offi? cially announced that the proposed spe? cial term will not be held, and that there will be no session of the United States Circuit Court until the next regular term, which will begin in Columbia on the fourth Monday of next November. Aaa matter, of form, the special term will bo opened by Judge Bryan, in Co? lombia, next Monday, being tho first Monday in August, and the date to which the Circuit Court was adjourned last May; but it will bo immediately ad? journed again, and the cases on the Cir? cuit Court docket will be continued nntil the November term, while Judge Bryan will proceed to Greenville to hold 'the regular August term of the United States District Court. This announcements important, na-it will enable the large number of defend? ants who have given bail to appear, and who are securing their testimony and making their other preparations for trial during tho special term, to make such other arrangements ag they may desire, in view of tho change in the time of the trial, and all BOOB persons may place full reliancein^'tho accuracy of the informa? tion, and govern themselves accordingly. There are n?w bot few defendants await? ing trial bf the; G kim it Court who are actually, in/'donfln?mept, and those are only auou'aa haye been nuable to obtain bail at.'the sum? demanded by the order of the court; sc that this postponement of the trials can operate as a hardship only npon a fen individuals, while to the majority of those who have given bail for their appearance, it will probably be a relief.-Charleston News. THE SPEAKING MONDAY NIOHT.-At the conclusion of Gov. Graham's speech in the afternoon, it was announced that there would be speaking from the stand at night. At about 8 o'clock, quito a large orowd of both ladies and gentle? men gathered together. The grove was beautifully illuminated- with Chinese lanterns, bearing the devioe of Greeley and Brown, and everything presented a pleasing appearance. Patriotic speeches were made by Messrs. Tipton, of Kansas; Shober, of this State; and Col. H. C. Jones, of this city. The speakers all maintained their reputation, and every one present went homo well pleased with what they had heard. [Charlotte Observer, Juli/ 31. Many harrowing facts have been given of the lato dreadful famine in Porsia, but one incident is now related so in? tensely horrible as almost to surpass all belief, although seriously mentioned in the Levant Times. In tho Persian city of Flamatan two famishing women, aid? ed by Beven others, stole threo children and ate thurn. They were arrested, and the boues of tho dead ohildren found partially concealed in their clothes. The Grand Vizier condemned the two womou to the gibbet, and their companions iu guilt to bo starved to death in prison. At the end of a weok five of theso seven wretohoa were found dead in the prison, after having devoured tho other two. F THE STREBT CAB Drrricrji/rY -We baye already noticed tba Radical schemes to foment tronble and or?ate political capital by iodtfOtog poor, ignorant nc g?oes to foist theta selves upon tho white people of tbia city. That trouble /will eena lt from thiSdf the eoeneS of Satur? day night and ? Sunday are . re-enacted there oan be buv little doubt, and when ! ?k begins God only knows where it will : epd:.. The attempt of certain negroes to force themselves, into street uara reserved for the'whites, is entirely uncalled for by the existing state, of affairs. The .object sought to be gained by the wire-pnAlor? ia ?ho lladioal .party is apparent to every one. They care not whether two or three, or a dozen negroes pay the penalty of t'ieir raahuoes and impudeuce with their lives, or how much inoooent blood may be shed. .'They will take good care to be out of harm's way when danger may arise, Bat wo trust the good, sober sense of the community will avert this threatened danger and preserve oar city from a scene of bloody riot and tar moil. On Saturday night, however, the fir.-1 of these disturbances ocourred. A party of negroes, including a low mulatto woman, entered the 10 o'clock car at the Ex bange, and rode BS far us I .liberty street, when several gentlemen got aboard, and the negroes were ejected, the woman using the vilest language. A crowd of negroes thereupon gathered, at if by preconcerted arrangement, and re? fused to let the car pass. Ono of the negroes seized the horses by the bridle, when a gentleman residing iu the vicini? ty, who was attracted by the crowd, or? dered him to release his bold. The uegro refused, when thu gentleman Htrur*U bim in tho face with bin fist, knocking bim down. At this juncture, another negro struck the gentleman men? tioned with a heavy stick, outting hit face and bruising his arm. One of thc young men present then drew a pinto ana oriud be was "going to shoot,' wbereapon the negroes scattered in u ver j direction. The negro driver of the cai joined ia the.fracas with the disorderly Africans, and refused to drive. Yesterday morning, the oars wen scarcely patronized at all, an uncommoi occurrence on Sunday, and the first re unit of this miserable attempt at socia equality was seen. There was, however au uneasy feeling throughout the city as it was generally believed these ne groes would attempt the same thing, ant i rouble would ensue. Trae to expeota timi, on tho arrival of the Isle of Hopi train, yesterday evening, at 6 o'clook, i large number of negroes made a rust for the: street ours at the junction, anc three of them were soon tilled, leaviof two empty. lb to one u? -.hese, how ever, in whioh. were a nnmL.r of whiti persons, including several ladies, a negri by the name of Dick White thrust him self and took a seat. A lady coming ii shortly afterwards, ho was told by Bom young men to get up. This he refuset to- do, when be. was seized by the heel and head and pitched out. Several of the negroes, who hai rushed into the other oars, thought bet ter of themselves, and . went into thoa reserved-fot'them. Considerable excite mont was created at the junction by tbi affair, but no serious disturbance oe curred. About 7 o'clock, as the car wa passing down Whitaker street, nea Broughton, a negro boarded tho plat form, shoved by two young men, am entered. He was ordered to leave, am on refusing to do so, was "fanned o: with a boot.". He yelled out, as he rai off, "Never mind? sports; I've spotte An the 8 o'clook car .was/.passing.th Exchange, on -the return . Trip, ?im scoundrel throw two bottles a tit, strikin against the ?ide, and., the shivered; glui flew inside. Fortunately, only a.-ie' p orson s were in : the ear at the time, an no injury resulted.' .The driver, frighi ened by-tho noise, dropped his reins an jumped oil the oar* and: tho horses brok into a gallop. ?. His* nerves were settled however, by the time the car reache Whitaker street, and he resumed his pc sition. ? ? il O'1] Wo are informed that the riotous ni groes who created tho disturbance o Saturday night have their headquarter in a negro shop, on Liberty street, net Whitaker, and remained in that vicinil to a late hoar, blustering and tbreatei in g about fwLoit they were going to do. As we have said before, there is r. justification whatever in this conduct < the negroes, and they will learn in tl end that such attempts will inevitab result to their own injary. We, hoi ever, deprecate any action tending t produce riot and bloodshed, where tl guilty most frequently escapo, whilst tl innnocent suffer. There aro other meai of thwarting this vile attempt of tl Radicals <to embroil the oity in troubl and the more thoughtful of our citizei eau but on reflection divine whut thi are. The question, as it stands at pr sent, is altogether with the railroi company; they own tho oars and posse oertain chartered privileges. If thi feel constrained to temporarily acqaies< in this state of affairs and allow the n groes to ride in any and every car, tl public? have no resource. Individual cos of impudeuce or insult from these n groes oan be resouted by tho parties co ocrnbd in the most effectual manner. Again, it is the general impressic that the better class of the colored po plo don't participate ia those prooee legs nor favor them iu any degree, would be well, then, to obtain tho nam of every one of these negroes, whi< oan be easily done, and have them pu libbed, in order that it may bo definite known who are seeking unnecessarily fomont strife by this attempt at enforcii social equality. Let our merchant business men, and citizens generally, r fuse to givo employment of any kin not even a doy's work, to any who names shall appear ou that list, and such bc iu employment, discharge thc ut once. If this wore a case involving ai rights of the negro, it would be unotb question; but it is simply and unequiv oalTy a diabolical offert upon the part of Radicals to bolster tbeir sinking cause. Sooial equality dootrine will never be recognized for an instant by the South? ern peoplo, no matter what the oonse Su?neos. Just on the eire of the Presi ential eleotion, however, the greatest prudence is necessary upon our part to prevent any interference from the pre? sent Federal Government, and uone sh mid realize this more fully than tbose who consider that Mr. Greeley's elec? tion is tho sine qua non to our political salvation. The names of these disorderly negrooe can be preserved for future reference. [Savannah Republican. THB RHAL IBHUE.-The country is, or ought to be, indebted to Mr. Secretary Boutwell for stating, foroibly, the real ?HBUQ between the Greeleyites and.the Orantitea. Mr. Greeley, in accepting the Oinoinnati platform, well and happi? ly naid: * * "I aooept yonr nomination, in the confident trust that the masses of our countrymen, North and South, are eager to clasp hands across the bloody ohasm which hus too long divided them, forget? ting that they have been enemies in the joyful consciousness that they are and must henceforth romain brethren." Mr. Boutwell, Gen. Grant's pet Secre? tary of the Treasury, and despatched to North Carolina us his organ to speak for bim, snye: "Wo are advised to clasp bands across the bloody chasm made by the war. I protest against this advice." Hero.is the whole issue! Greeley ie for peace; ? moro especially for peuce, now, six years after the war. And Graut sings "w?r, war," only war; not .exactly war in arms, but war in peace-war with Acts of Congress, wur with enforcement laws, war without the habeas corpus writ, war with election laws, war to plunder the Southerners through carpet-baggers, and to ruin them more by that species of plunder than did Sherman's army and the outriders therewith I Indeed, the ourse of a carpet-baggers' war, which Grant bas instituted and upheld from the H birt, bas aost the South more,, far more, than the emancipation of. the slaves-foi that is no real calamity to the white men of. the Sooth, and the - taxes, losses and devastation of the war itself. The Express has published in detail the State debts Grant's carpet-baggers have oreated in the Sooth, bnt here ie the aggregate now in ten Southern States Before the War. Af ter the War. ?0-876,415,300. fl@r$291,626,015. -for which increase of $215,210,715, the State has nothing to show I Greeley pledges himself to end tb.it sort of robbery-to shut up the "chasm' -but Boutwell, in behalf of Grant, ex claims: "I protest against thia advice" (ol Greeley.) Well, we take issue with Grant anc Boutwell on that, and we go to the coun try thereon. Do yon, Mr. Merchant, Mr. Banker, and Mr. Railroad Bond holder of the North-do you want tc keep open Buch a chasm? Does it pay' When millions of people are thus oom polled to raise mouey to pay taxes, and are thus defrauded of the means to bnj your goods, do you want more of these taxes, and of these bonds? Do yoe want to impoverish the Sonth beyond and after the war, and so to impoverisL her, that all her surplus cotton, sugar, rice and tobacco must be used to paj taxes-not to recuperate, so as to buj fresh manufacturen and goods? Is not eyery interest of the North and West ii making the South richer, if not rich and in not thus trampling he? dow? i more? Do you, Mr. Western Farmer ' who sell your corn, your bacon, yoni mules, your horses to the South-do yoi wish a good market there, from well-of men, or a rained Sonth, which can ooh raise ootton to pay interest on bonds ? rotten carpet-baggers of the North am West?

Th' American people can. never prosper a oppressors of their fellow-men-as ty rants, or as the aiders and abettors o robbery. Nor can we thus strip th South of law and liberty, and govern.i only by force and fraud, and long main tain our own liberties. The suspensioi of the habeas corpus, which ground dowi the Sonth, will soon be used to grin down ns, if we sanction this overthrow of the Palladium of the Constitution Nor can any country long prosper whe; a part of it is crushed out, as the Sont is now crushed, and hos boen crushed daring all of Grant's administrador. The general welfare of the whole is tb prosperity of every part, and equalit and equity among all.
