THE REPUBLICAN.
CLEARFIELD, PA.
WiDN'EHDAY MOKNINO, NOV. , 1871.
The Ku-Klux and Suspension of the
Writ of Habeas Corpus.
A Biisponsion o( llio writ of liubon
corpui by tho luuernl overnmonl in
any ol tho Stales Id a tiino of gonornl
peace would linvo boon roi'iuducl tor
morly its a very scricH mutter. Both
Americans and English nil pooplo of
the Ani'lo .Mixon rnoo havo ovor earo-
fully puiinlcd their civil rights as pro
tected by the writ of habeas oorpii,
and Imvo tnkon nliirm at tho tlrslstop
to deprive lliom of theso rights. The
writ of liubeas corpus litis been roiun
ed as tho biilwurk of liborty, and it is
tins which nioro than anything elso
led to the froodom that wo enjoy.
But times havo chunked. Our late
civil war and tho dumoralienlinn
which resulted from it have destroyed
in a monnure Ihnt watchfulness of the
Amorit'An people over thoir liberties
and jonlouny of the encroachment ol
arbitrary power. Now tho President
of tho United States suspends the writ
of habeas corpus in a section of our
common country and littlo nolicoof it
is takon, ns if it wcro a matter of ordi
nary occurroiico or of no imporlunco
as if, in fuet, no great principle wore
involvod. Tho proclamation of tho
President, dated Washington, October
17, 1871, which was published in our
itsue last Wednesday, places tho coun
ties of Spartanburg, York, Marion,
Choster, Laurons, Newbury, Fairfield,
Lancuslor and Chesterfield, South
Carolina, under martini law, on tho
ground t hut combinations and conspi
racies exist to obstruct and hinder tho
execution of tho civil law, and thai
tho federal government is called upon
to suspend tho writ of habeas corpus
and to govern by military authority,
in accordnnco with tho act of Con
gress passed lust April. If tho publio
mind were not so demoralized and so
indifferent to this exercise of military
authority in time of general peace
tliero would bo a more searching in
quiry as to the causos for or necessity
of this extraordinary action of the
government.
Fortunately, the independent press
of this country is freo to discuss tho
conduct of the government and to cull
public uttontion to this important mat
ter. Tho independent press, as Junius
said, is tho palladium of our civil and
religious liberties. Let us sco, then,,
what foundation thcro was for pro
claiming martiul law and creating
such a dangerous precedent for exer
cising arbitrary power in this freo re
public. Tho President tells us in his
proclamation that combinations and
conspiracies exist in tho counties plac
ed under martial which cannot bu
reached by the civil law, and theso ho
calls rebellious and insurrectionary.
15y this he means what is gonerally
known us the Ku-Klux. The changes
are rung on such expressions as con
spiracies, organized and armed combi,
nations, violence, defiance of the con
stituted authorities, and so on, but
thoro is no evidcr.ee of repellion or in
surrection either in tho sense general
ly understood or of tho constitution of
the United Mutes. I no law ol Con
gress on which he bases his action
may havo given a now interpretation
to rebellion or insurrection which was
nover meant in tho constitution, and
ho may bo acting strictly in conformi
ty with that, liut the lawlessness of
a few individuals, w hich at most only
extends to a sort of lynch law in pun
ishing obnoxious persons or those
who are guilty of crimes, cannot bo
construed into rebellion against the
government. In fact, there has been
no such rebellion or insurrection. Nor
havo tho proper constituted authori
ties called upon tho federal govern
ment to suspend the civil law, as is
required by tho constitution.
Governor Scolt, of South Carolina,
when asked loss than throe weeks ago
if ho wcro opposed to martial law, re
plied, "Most unequivocally I am, and
thoso men who are so clumorous for
martial law are pursuing a mistaken
policy." Ho said, moreover, that ho
had no idea General Grant would do
claro martiul law, that bo (tho Gover
nor) was not in favor of it, and that
ho thought tho civil law was more
eftlcicnt. What better authority does
tho administration want than- tho
Governor of tho State, who is ono of
Its own partisans? Then tho State is
under radical government, and most
of the authorities in it aro opposed to
mnrtii'l law. Tho clamor for such an
arbitrary menstiro comes from only a
fow reckless and corrupt disorganize
and aspirants for ollico ; from men
who have Utile interest at stuko in
tho Slnlo beyond what they can mako
out of tho ofllccs or tho disruption of
civil government. Ao doubt tliero
have been deplorablo outrngos upon
individuals by local bands, and proba
bly tho Civil Rights bill of Congress
may bnvo been violutcd in some cases.
No good citizen would attempt to
justify theso. liut such crimes aro
not peculiar to South Carolina.
Crimes as bad or more benious are
committed in all tho States, and it
would bo easy enough to attribute
them to Ku Klnx if it should suit tho
federal government to do so for politi
cal ends. Indeed, thoro might be no
limit to fcdoral interference- in tho
local afluirs of tho snvcral States, or
oven in this city of Now York, if tho
riroclnmation of martial law is to (bl
ow the commission of similar crimes
s those perpetrated in South Carolina.
Should tho clamor of a few partisan
politicians be hoeded mora thun tho
prinoiplos of local self government,
upon which the fabric of our institu
tions rests, thoro will bo an end to
civil liberty.
It is a curious fuel, showing tho
recklessness of tho administration in
the high-handed courso it is pursuing,
that ono of the most nuict counties in
tho State of South Carolina, that of
Marion, is includod in those placed
under martiul law, whilo tho worst
Ku-Klux county Union is omitted.
This Govornor Scott, it is said, admits,
though he says, in palliation of tho
conduct of the administration, it must
bo a clerical error. If it bo l.ccossnry
to put a portion of South Carolina
under martial law for crimes against
individuals, what should bo done in
North Carolina, where a few bandits
liave doniod all the constituted au
thorities f Nothing has occurrod in
South Carolina sinco tbo war com
parablo to tho frightful depredations
mid defiant conduct of theso bandits
in tho adjoining State, entrenched in
the swamps for months and commit
ting tho most diabolical murders and
other fonrful crimes. So wo might
rofcr to tho hanging of the negrcos in
Tennessee recently by tho populace
without law and in tMlmxe ol the
authorities fur outragos committed on
whito women, or to ninny other law
loss acts both in tho South and North.
Where, in fact, would thoro not bo
found a prutoxt for tho exeroiso of
leUerul military authority it tho gov
ernment should wish to strain tho law
for that purposo or hud a political ob
jeet to accomplish F
The President bolioves, perhaps, bo
is doing his duty. Wo aru not willing
to think otherwise Put, unfortunate
ly, ho is not a civilian, and has littlo
opportunity to study htttto nuairs in
the light of civil and constitutional
law. His training has boon military
and bis mind i imbued with military
ideas. JSo doubt ho is a patriot mid
wishes wull to tho country, und be.
lioves, probably, that bo has intuitive
ly tho sumo capacity to govern in
peace ns ho had to command In war;
but if ho would havo his numo go
down to posterity as a statesman ho
must leave tho camp and drop the
sword ho must in timo el pcaco ro
sped nbovo all things the civil law
and civil liberty. And will ho not
bnvo boiiio regard for tho anomalous
and trying situation of thoso poor
Southerners, who, though they erred,
aro a bravo ana liigh-spiritod people
of our own race and blood f Can he
not sco tho humiliating position they
are placod in, particularly In South
Carolina, in being political slaves to
iiiuir lurinur uuiiu'miu slaves nn in
telligent and cultivated population
put under tho rulo of ignorant and
semi suvngo negroes and corrupt
strangers, who have little or no inter
ost in tho Slate, except to rob it?
Has ho no bowls of compassion for
those unforlunute poopla of our own
blood under such trying circumstan
ces? We think, as we said beforo,
that ho means well ; but he has been
led, doubtless, to cxtrcmo measures,
which aro cruel to the people of South
Carolina and dungerous to civil liber
ty, by partisan and narrow-mindod
politicians, who euro only for their
own immediate interests. Tho Presi
dent should know that he can make
more political capital and win tho
good will of the generous American
people, both North and South, moro
by a kind and liberal policy to tho
Southerners thun by military coorcion.
''Let us havo peace," seems to bo his
favorilo motto, and ho can havo pcaco
in tho South, as wull as good will
overywhoro, by abandoning his mili
tary idea of govcrnmont and making
the civil law sunromo in ovorv section
of our common country. New York

THE PUNCTUAL MAN.
Mr. Iliggins was a very punctual
man in all his transactions through
ife. Ho omassed a lurgo tbrtuno by
untiling industry and punctuality,
and at tho advanced ago of ninety
years, was resting quiotiy on his bed,
and calmly wuiting to bo eallodaway.
llo had deliberately made almost every
arrangement for bisdeccaso and burial.
Hit pulso grew fainter, and tho light
of lifo seemed just flickering in its
socket, when ono ol'his sons remarked :
"Father you will probably live but
a day or two ; is it not well for you
to numo your bourers ?"
"To bo suro, my son, said tho dy
ing man. "It is well thought of, and
1 will do it now.
llo gave the names of six, the usual
number, and sunk back exhausted on
tho pillow.
A gleam of thought pnssod over his
withered features It k o a ray of light,
and ho rallied onco more. "My son,
read tho list. Is the namo of Wiggins
thcro ?"
"It is, father."
"Then strike it off!" said bo em
phatically, "for be was never punctual
was novcr nnywhero in season; and
ho might hinder tho procession a
whole hour."
LniMT.-Light is present to us in over
varying conditions but it is always
tho Bumo there is a oneness in es
se nco after all. It is tho samo light
that glistens on tho wing of tho fire
fly, mid blazes on tho ruddy hearth
stone, and sparkles on tho jowcls in
the diadem, and flashes beauty in tho
morning. Scionco tells us that thoso
prolific beds of coal in tho bowels of the
earth wero onco forests on the sur
faco forests of luxuriant vcgolation ;
and they incorporated tho sun's rays,
und then in merciful convulsions, wore
imbedded in tho center of tho lower
earth by an all provident foresight for
the wants of an inhabited world.
Scionco tells us, too, that timo was
when tho shapeless crystal was yet
new to the covering of tho earth.
Subjected to the wheel of tho lapidary,
it sparkles out to view ns a gom of tho
first water. It is but tho releaso of
tho imprisoned rays which sbono from
tho samo groat sourco long centuries
ago ; so that, in both tho cottago and
firelight and in tho monarch's gem,
we havo just tho resurrection of some
olden summer the great return of
somo sepulchral sunlight, from which
man has rolled away tho stone.
Lick a, VAror. "The timo in which
I livo is but a small moment of tho
world's history. It is a flight of a
shadow j it is a dream of vanity; it is
tho rapid glnnco of tho mctoor; it is
a flower which every breath of heaven
can wither into decay; it is a tale
which n remembrance vanisliod; it is
a day which tho silencoofthe long
night will darken and overshadow.
In a fow yours our heads wilt bo laid
in tho cold gravo, and tho groen turf
cover us. Tho children who como
after us will tread upon our graves ;
they will weep for us a fow days;
thoy will talk of us a fow months ;
I hey will remember usforafow yenrs,
when our memory shall disappear
from tho faco of the earth, and not a
tongno will bo found to recall it."
Dr. Chalmers.
All classes and all ranks aro exposed
to danger. The "euro of tho world"
becomes tho snaro of those who have
littlo, and tho "decoitfulness of riches"
the Biinro of thoso who havo much.
Thus the world wars against tho soul,
aliko when it smiles and when it
frowns. Pinching want and luxurious
prolusion aro two widely diverse
species of thorns ; but they may bo
cquully effectivo in destroying tho
precious seed.
Throo-fourtlu of the difTIculilies
and miseries of men como from tho
fuel that most want wealth without
earning it, faino without deserving it,
popularity without tompcranco, ro
spoct without virtue, and happinoss
without holiness.
Idleness is tho lint bed of tempta
tion, tbo cradle of disease, tho waster
of timo, tho canker worm of felicity.
To him that has no employment, life
in ft little while will have no novelty ;
and when novcliy is laid in the grave,
the funeral of comfort will soon follow.
