November 1G, 1873. j Deau Advocate : The Ku.Kluk Case in our neighboring city of Ooviou ton was disposed of yesterday. The ex amining court, composed ot two Justices, could not agree, aad the defendants were discharged. It is a prominent and and peculiar feature of the decision, that the Justices in favor of biuding over the uccuscd is a Democrat, while the other is o Republican and voted to discharge. 1 am of the opinion the w.etcheJ charac ter ehcun by the proseoutingj witness, even by himself on cross examination his wife beint; the only coroboratiug witness, and she, it was sheun was in terror of her husband, having been fre quently beateu by him would, in itself, j ustify any j ury in acquitting the defend ants; without paying any regard to the veryjpositive recogBiting be made or Bayshe made of the parties at the tiuio of the alleged raid, or in the court house. I don't exactly mean that if he were nut Ku-Kluked, that she could have been ; but 1 do mean that a little tar and feath ers would very well become him. Some ten years ago he Jwas iudicted for an outrage on bis eister-in-law, and escaped the penitentiary only because the un fortunate womau died before bis trial would have been belJ. I very well be lieve that many cases of Ku-lvlukian occur in the Southern Slates; but many cases are also trumped up, and this case was one of the latter kind. I was in Court during the trial, aud think if all Ku-Kluk were as well looking men and shrewd as good characters as these were did, a little infusion of them every where would work no great harm. UuderBtaod uie, 1 am speaking only of the merits of the case in our own neighborhood; and hot by any means, palliating outrages whether done in the name of Kentucky Ku-Kluk, or Indiana Vigilants. THE PANIC. has, apparently taken up permanent (juarters with us. Hard times get hard, r every dayt and no prospect of a speedy 'let up." One d;iy last week the En quirer published iu its "Male Help Wanted" coluLin three hundred and fifty six applications for work of any kind. This was undoubtedly an extra day; but while fifty "wauts" a few weeks ago would have been considered a largo number, the papers, now, seldom have ewer than from two to three hun dred. The Italian Opera Troude has ordered its engagement here aud iu Chicago to be cancelled; the agent says no one will will buy reset ved seats, and very fiw will take any kind at all. In a musical place as this is, such a determ ination is an ominous evidence of the hardest times. The resumption ordered by See. Richardson has worked no great wonders here; indeed folks would not growl at being subjected to even a green back resumption. L. J. B.
