WBDNBSDAT MORNINU, APRIL 10, Iflt
-v.- ak' u '.'
Tbe prople are bviiininit to ivquiro :
" When will llie Loialuturuailjourn?"
The Hnrriubnrx Patriot, in alluding to
the question roix-nlly, oy :
"In the irvHcnl txiiidition of IoimIu
tion no alU'mpt is likuly to be mado to
fix i day for ttiml ailjuiirnmciit of thu
General Assembly. II half tbe billaon
tbe calendar of tho llmim are to he
conaidered all adjournment will hnr.lly
take plwe beloie tbe middle ol Aluy.
None of the spuciul appropriutiun billa
fur cbai ilion and uthur ol jci la have yet
reached third reading iu tho House.
If they should paaa that body they
will be subjected to contitlerable dis
cuiwlon in the Senate The chief cause
of the obstruction to the buaincaa of the
seaaion has been the abandonment ol
the old calcndur. Hud the calendar
boeu retained in accordance with tho
judgment ol a large majority uf the
House the trorK oi lefrimution enuiu
have progi-csnod without interruption
from tho very flint day of the minion.
Uy the chango a month's timo was
thrown away, lor it was that long be
I'oio any hill" wero reported from eom
mittces for the consideration of the
House. Tho legislation in which the
people of the Commonwealth are really
concorood was poitioned by this
manoeuvre for the Hank Commissioner
bill, tbe Itccorder bill, and other per
Bona I and partisan Jobs. When these
bills havo passed, those who are inter
ested in them will be ready for an ad
journment without troubling them
selves about tbo rcul business ol tbe
seshion.
" What was predicted on this subject
by the opponents ol an abandonment
of tho calendar has already been real
ized. Tho schemes lor the promotion
of personal ends have been advanced
while bills that are necessary to relieve
the peoplo in various portions ol the
State horn irksome and oppressive local
laws bavo been pushed to tho bottom
of the calendar. That this was the
object of throwing away tho calendar
ol the first session is boirayed by tho
eagerness with which the liunk Com
missioner bill, the Hetordar bill, and
tbe rest of the Jobs acre urged in ad
vance of almost all other legislation.
Had tho calendar been permitted to
stand, these bills would huve taken
tbeir turn and their promoters would
bavo been compelled to wait until more
important legislation could be disposed
of. On the other hand, those members
who would be naturally in luvor of an
early adjournment will insist thai the
session be prolonged until the mcasuics
in wlncli their constituents aro inter
ested can be reached on tho calendar.
They are thus forced inVo a false posi
tion and made to bear the reproach oi
protracting tho session when tho mis
chief was done in throwing away tho
old calendar of bills in spile of their
protests. Thus the position of mom
bora is completely changed. Those
wbo urged that the work of legislation
should go on without Interruption or
delay as it was loll at tho cluse ol the
session of 1877 will now bo compelled
to ask that the present session bo con
tinued until the measures ol importance
to their constituents can bo reached.
Tboso members who voted to throw
away tho old calendar, partly in order
to promote (he jobs thul wero hatched
in tho vacation and partly to obstruct
the public busincK, can regard tho
question of adjournment with compaia
live indifference. They hare accom
plished theirobject by compelling those
who would lavoran early adjournment
to demand that tbe session be con
tinued in order that the most impor
tant legislation can be considered. In
the confusion of aims and motives and
in tbo accumulation of businoss the
prospect is that the session will bo pro
tracted a month beyond the usual timo
ol adjournment, lt is well that tbo
publio should understand where lies
tue real cause ol tbe delays and oh
structions in the work of legislation."

JOIIN SHERMAN TUK IIIAD-DEVIL.
Our diipatcbes from the North bavo
teemed with so many allusions to mat
ters growing out of tho electoral con
spiracy of lust Winter, that it becomes
our duty to discuss tbcm, und lo sound
anoteol warning against what appears
to be another conspiracy on the part
of tbe samo persons to obstruct the
course ol Justice and cnlorce immunity
for their confederates in the crime ol a
year ago the Id-turning Hoard ol
Louisiana.
Tbo whole country knows that hut
lor tho encouragement they received
from the "veiling statesmen," who
came here at the suggestion ol Oenernl
Grant, tho members of our Returning
Hoard would never bave ventured, by
suppression of votes, forgery-, and sub
ornation of perjury, to deliberately
nullify tho will uf a vail majority ol
tho American people and foist into tho
"residential chair a candiduto over
whelmingly enndemed and repudiated
by tbe Iree voters of this liepublic.
Chief among theso "statesmen," and
tbe head-devil of. tho conspiracy, was
John Nhcrman. To his cold blooded
and villainous encouragement of the
acts of Wells, Anderson & Co., the
country owes tho installation of Hayes
as V residential ruler over a peoplo who
had repudiated him at tbe polls, and
ha has received from the creaturo of
hia unscrupulous villainy the reward
be coveted tho Secretaryship of the
t reasury. 1 bis is plain trutb. r.vcrv
intelligent man in iho United Slates
knows it, and no one better than Mr.
Hayes himself, howover mncb be may
try lo conceal bis knowledgo of the
conspiracy through which ho reached
the Presidential cbair by an affectation
of guileless innocence. Mo strongor
prool was needed ol nis thorough ap
preciation of the fradulent methods
wbicb elevated Dim to bis present posi
lion than in anxiety he displayed to
conciliate the party which elected Jil
den by abandoning lbs cardinal doc
trine of centralization ol tho Kadical
party, and hastening to accord to
Louisiana and South Carolina tbeir
constitutional righto! self-government.
Wo never for one moment advocated
a condonation ot the crimes that had
been committed by the .Returning
Board and tbeir abettors against civil
liberty Rod republican government.
v e bold, and bold now, that the noaco
ful submission by tho American people
to the installation into office, by gross
and unblushing Iraud, of a candidate
repudiated by the people, was the
deepest wound ever inflicted upon tbe
Kepubiie, and an act Ifaugbt witb tbe
gravest dangers to our institutions a
greater calamity than a doxen eivil
wars ; because It argued that indiffer
ence to tho principles of free govern
ment which is the first step toward
sell-enslavement.
Wells, Anderson It Co. bad no sooner
published to the world the evidence of
iboir corrupt tampering with the re
tnrnaof the oleclion than we denounced
them as a band of criminals, and asked
for their indictment. The law officers
ol tbe State, faiaBful to tbe obligations
ol their oath of office, caused them to
be arraigned for tbo infamous crime of
forgery, and hare secured tbe convic
tion of ont of tbsm. For this thev
deserve and have receivwd tbe thanks

TUK REAL KUKIVX.
During tho first term of President
Grunt, and even lutcr, the alleged out
rages perpetrated upon tho negrooa of
certain rjouthern states, notably ot
South Curolina, by urmed white men,
in a spirit of hatred of lbs Union and
hostility to the reconstruction acts, con.
stittilcd the major part of tho stock in
trade of tho Republican parly in the
North. It was represented that the
rebels had retired liom the field of open
war only to resort to assassination as
a means of ridding themselves of their
enemies and putting the Democratic
party on its led. Oath-bound organixa
tions, under the name of Ku-Klux,
were said to porrado every neighbor
hood, tormtd for no other object than
to keep tho negroes and their white
allies, falsely called Republicans, in a
stale of subordination to tbo owners
of the soil. Slavery was indeed abol
ished by law, but wc wero led to ho
liuve that thu foundations of a worse
system of human haiulugc were being
laid. Masked midnight riders were
supposed to be galloping through the
country, killing or scourging negroes,
riddling humble homes with bullets,
burning school bopses, und sparing not
even tho women and children of the
families of those wbo dared declare
themselves Republicans. The stories
of outrages then told by pen and pencil
und described upon the stump in one
cumpnign after another still linger in
the memory. Il seemed to the hu
mane North that the Devil himsell
was abroad in tho South, working lor
Democratic supremacy, and in view of
the horrors of Ku-Kluxism no punish
ment was considered loo severe lor tho
treacherous South. I'nder those fuel-;
iugs muny a measure thut disgraced
tho statute book of a tree country were
cheerfully indorsed by tho people who
went to the polls. '1 hey were deemed
necessary for the protection of the
IreetlmuN and tho punishment of bis
oppressors. 1 bo silicy ol lorce was
simply lighting the Devil with tire, and
not until the leurful truth that they
were being diieJ dawned upon Iho
Republican mosses was thai policy
changed. Even now, however, many
good people do not fully know what
outrages were perpetrated upon the
South in the name of liberty, bow base
wero the real purposes ol the invention
01 the terrible machinery ol recon
struction acts, conspiracy laws and
lorce bills, and to what cruel bands
their execution was entrusted.
Tbo curtain la lifted upon aom ol
the most horrible acts in this bloody
drama by one wbo played a leading
part therein Et-Uovdrnor lloscs, of
It - -. l rt ,:. i i i .1...
aouia varuiiua, uas uvuun, iuo
columns of the New Vork Herald, the
story of what ho knows of what hap
pened behind the scenes. That Moses
is a villain all tho world now knows,
but villain only would know all tho
secrets ol those dark days ; and in tell
ing them ho doca not screen himself,
but honestly confesses that in greed
lor plunder be lent himsell, as others
did, lo the conspiracy which brought
so many ol the people of his native
Stnte to ruin and to dcatn. lie de
clares in the outset that lo those in
South Carolina who bad to endure so
much il was wull known that La Klux
ism, with all its accompanying terrors,
was tho greater part "a myth and
phantom. It was a cunning and
devilish device of himself and his vol
leagues to perpctnate their own power
lor Iho sake ol plunder and lo Keep
public sentiment in tbo JNortb horn
turning in taror of the plundered peo
ple. Whenever a rumor would come
thai the troops, under whose bayonets
the thieves did their work, were to be
removed, the Sluto officers would get
together and consider what ought to
bo done lo prevent such a catastrophe.
Agents were dispatched to tho interior
lor no other purpose than lo create
troublos thai might be converted into
reactionary outbreaks. Every negro
in the Hlate was urmed as militiaman
and bidden to assert his rights hy vio
lence, while it was made a crime for
any while men to carry arms exoept
as privates in lue companies composed
of their former slaves, and under offi
cers who were designedly selected from
the most desperate classes in tho Slate.
To these officers instructions were
given to drill al midnight, with ammu
nition on tbeir persons, and to dis
cbargo tbeir pieoea without any provo
cation wilb the express purpose of tcr
rilying the women and children and
arousing white men lo a freniy ol ex
citement. If unprotected females were
traveling through the country these
black militiamen were directed to dog
their Steps.
Tbe plan involved tbe constant in
flammation of the Democrats by such
means, and even hy incendiarism and
worse, in lbs bope that they would be
a routed to the resistance that was
always a pretext for a new sorority.
Tbe Slate was over-run by Marshals
and Constablaa privy to this business
and well paid lor fostering race con
flicts. Twenty five desperadoes were
imporledfrom New York and scattered
through theeountry " with instructions
to work np the outrage business" and
lo do all in tbeir power to breed revolt.
If tbe whiles organised and armed In
lbs mosl Inoffensive way for the protec
lion oi thoir wives and children or
their property every such organisation
was bold to bo a Ku Klux conspiracy
and treated accordingly. Then Courts
that were the creatures ol the Colom
bia ring atepped in to finish tbo work.
Voung men and old men, Iba bravest
and best in South Carolina, wore
dragged to trial, convicted by packed
juries and sunt to Northern peniten
tiaries to languish and die. There was
no redress. The man that grumbled
was a traitor and must expect tbe fate
ot those upon whom hiesympalhy wa

MORE JUDGES.
The bill ol Mr. Stephens, to add six
new members lo the Supruii e Court,
making it looonsistof fifteen, has little
of merit to commend il. It would
make that tribunal loo unwieldy lor
its purposes, and would impair, rulher
than increase, respect for its authority
as a tribunal of last resort. That tbe
Court, as now constituted, is overbur
dened with business is universally con
ceded. This has arisen largely from
ibe requirement of Circuit Court duties
of the J usiices, which has always boen
a feature of our judicial sysuim, lt
would be far better to relieve them en
lirely ol this service than add to their
nu in bcr.
Indeed, il may well be questioned
w hether it would not be an improve.
ment to relieve the supreme Court
Justices of all nidi priut duties, inde
pendent ol the pressure on their lime.
The principle ol allowing a Judge wbo
tries a caso to participate in the final
decision of law questions arising during
the progress of a trial before him is
questionable. Pew Judgea are capable
ol holding tbe Kculcs ol Justice to
evenly as not to bo more or leas biased
in their interlocutory rulings. When
tho law comes before them lor ultimate
decision, such bias naturully accompa
nics the Judgo who steps from the trial
bench to the Inw bench. Opinions
once formed it is difficult to change,
and the result nut infrequently ia thut
prido of opinion assumes to some ex
lent ibe nature of partixansbip, which
interferes with that impartiality wbicb
should characterise a purely law Court.
Judges, no nioro than other people,
care to be overruled in matters of law.
But, waving this, it seems better to
lighten the labors of the Supremo Court
Justices by tbe appointment of more
inferior J udge lor circuit duties, if the
present number is insufficient. One
positive tendency to increasing the evil
of divided counsels and dissentient
opinions would tollow the increase pro
posed. In important suits it is difficult
to obtain a verdict Irom a jury of twelve
men. To expect that a bench of Of
teen Judges would be bolter able to
arrive at unanimous results in impor
tant cuscs, especially those involving
constitutional questions, is hardly to
be looked for.
Nor would it be suitable lo give any
President, however patriotic and free
from partisanship, the power of ap
pointing six new men at once lo the
Supreme Court bench. Tovestinhim
such a prerogative would be a thing
unheard of beloro. Mistakes would be
unavoidable and beyond Ibe power of
rectification, the country baa Bad
some fortunate escapes when but one
Judge was lo be appointed. We came
near a notional mislorlunu, not lo say
disgrace, in tho desire of the lust Ad
ministration to make Williams Chief
Justice. Another was evidently
avoided when, with much pretension
and uo inconsiderable party strength
lo hack il, Senator Llowe, who baa just
exhibited his qualities, was pushing
bit claims to t place on tho Supreme
bench. It would be giving President
Hayes altogether loo much power to
allow him, or any otber .Executive; to
virtually reconstruct the Court of final
jurisdiction. That is what il would
amount to. lo any point of view ths
measure proposed by Mr. Stephens
ought lo receive a quietus.
THE HAMBURG MASSACRE.

every expression ol editorial opinion
that it contains, and he contributed ibe
greater part ol it. Mr. Curtis baa a
passion to be considered high-toned in
trolilics as well as elegant in English j
nit we fear that bis motives sometime
coino from a vain love of form ralhor
than from a conscientious desire to
oocupy an exalted position because the
ooursea that lead to it are right We
are still further compelled to believe
this after reading bis recent attack
upon Senator Butler, of Sauib Carolina,
in which bo says : "The part taken
by Geooral Butler in the Hamburg
massacre is well known. Tbs facts
were widely published, and they bave
never boen succesalully questioned.
The pretence of fear of a negro rising,
which was put forth as the excuse of
ibe wanton slaughter of innocent men,
is an insult to every Intelligent per
son." What were assumed as lacta
did indeed receive extensive publica
tion and circulation by lbs unscrupu
lous carpet-baggers of the South and
their equully unscrupulous friends of
the Aorib, but they were so iar ques
tioned that a Kadical Uovornraonl with
Lite Icirul machinerr all in ila hands did
nol dare lo show the world whal were
the facts in tha case, though General
Butler proclaimed bimsell ready iben
as he is now to have them fully exam
ined. The rew York llerali nore
nearly bit tbe case when it said t " We
presume that there is not a Senator
who honestly believes that Mr. Duller
abetted ths Hamburg massacre. The
negro testimony lo that effect has long
been an ex posed and exploded perjury."
Whether tbat Is so or not, Mr. Curtis
should be above circulating abominable
charges that have never been supported
by a single oompetenl and reliable wit-
ncss, Jiotton Putt.
