J Democratic Editors, Senators and Representatives, say now, that. the "party of all the wealth, all the " Intelligence and all the virtue" Includes FORTY THOUSAND Ku KIux, In this State alone! If the mere introduction of an r amnesty bill Into the legislature of lSn-'Ti!, secured for its introducer tho hindmost place on the Demo cratic State ticket last August, how far In the rear will the advocates of .the present amnesty bill find them r selves In future elections? Takethe'sum. j Ip any person entertains a doubt jas to what is the popular opinion on the subject of amnesty to Ku KIux 'murderers, let him remember that :Major John Graham Introeluced a bill to grant amnesty to Ku KIux daring the session of 1871-72, and although he did not urge Its passage, f he teas tlie hindmost man on Ah ticket ', in A urjxiU last. Stick a pin there ! ' Senator Troy, ex-Director on the Penitentiary Board, has introduced a resolution of Inquiry as to wheth er the Dockery-Welker Board have drawn any money from the Treas-' Sins of Omission and of Com mission. The sins of omission on the part of the last Legislature were next of kin to those of its commission. The failure of that body to pro vide for the election of a Superin tendent of Public Instruction to fill out the unexpired term f Mr. Ashley, has involved that matter in tho dispute pending between Messrs. Battle and Mclver. The Constitution unmistakably commanded the election of an officer but one hundred How's that?

A Mistake. If tho Democrats of this Legisla ture think that, by repealing the criminal law of tho State, and par doning their Ku KIux allies, they can send them forth again to slay and scourge, and so reduce the Re publican majority by killing off Republicans, they will find them selves mistaken. In a conflict of such character, und under Legislative auspices and cne-ouragement, having the 'sanc tion and authority of the law-making power of the State, Republicans would e able to kill as many Dem ocrarn as the Ku KIux could kill Republicans. We cannot afford because we have won so splendid a triumph in the United States at the iolls last No vember to cease our efforts now to strengthen tho Republican cause wherever and whenever our ranks can be reinforced by acquisitions of the honest masses from the enemy's camp, their old leaders we do not want. It is easier to command our entire' strength in times of party excite ment and when our principles are naturally gravitate to (he ranks of that party as the heart of an Irih man clings to his loved "ould Ire land."
