THE GRESHAM Lu vtnn.— Yesterday, for the
find time for many years, a Latin lecture was delivered in
the Gresham-hall, Beisshall-street, although it is pro-
tided by the will of the founder that lectures on certain
subjects shall be delivered every term in Latin and
English. It is provided that when three persons are not
present the Latta lecture aped not be delivered, and it has
generally been found that three persons were not willing
to sit out a Latin oration on a scientific subject. COMO.
quanta, that part of the will of the founder has been
balcitaally disregarded. The first lecture of the present
term was to have been on astronomy, by the Pow. J.
Pullen, 8.D., of Corpus Christi Collage, incumbent of Sr.
Benedict, Cambridge, bat Mr. Pull's did not attend, and
appointed as his deputy Mr. E. V. Hadley, ILA., fellow of
Trinity College, Cambbrriiddgges mathematical master in St.
Paul's School. Mr. Lindley sant word on the first day
that he had a severe cold and wild not deliver either the
Latin or the English lecture. Oa the next day there was
only one ppeersrsoona present at the time the Latin lactate was
to be dalivmd, and It was dispensed with. An English
lecture was delivered on gravitation. Yesterday in con-
sequence of some remarks which have appears is the
public papers, there was an sadism* of fo-droan at
12 o'clock, and Mr. Hadley delivered a lecture in which he
dealt with the sun's inflames on the planets, the influence
of the Omen apes one another, and the power of every
particle of matter over other particles, in a Latin oration
which lasted lust ski minutes. His Latin was of the
colloquial kind and the lecture, short as it WIN
to have boss written in a hurry. Mr. IL V. Hy.,27Wed

Upon this "abject the Washington correspondent
of the New York Times, writing on the 6th, says :
The news from Georgia, the operations of the secret or-
sullied gang of rebel desperadoes 'mown as the Ku-Klus.
Klan, is of a startling character. The reports of the cold-
blooded murder of Dr. Ashburn, oat of the original stead-
fast, Amd mast pr mint of the Southern loyalists, are
fully confirmed y the offload advisee received at General
Grant's headquartess, with the addition that two other ,
proiniamat llnnitseaa mini, .ambersof the late coaventien, are •
miming, and are ssiosesoll to have shared a like fate. The

curred, am in a state of hordbLi ampules, as they feel

&rod Dr. Aatithers, et Golumbse, were shalt SO in num-
ber, and were disguised as ghosts. They elected all
meaner of spectral device, with the Idea of striking
terror into the minds of the freedmen, who are natu-
rally superstitious is swab matters. • proodnest Union
man in Oolumbas, in writing to headquarters, giving an
account of these outrages, says The result will be—
and no doubt it is one of their objects— to drive the freed-
men from the palls, in the coming election, through fear,
anise' there is • military force at every precinct in the
State." General Meade telegraphs that he has ordered
the murderen of Dr. Ashburn, if they can be found, to
be arrested and tried by military oommisdon, and that he
will to-morrow issue a general order for the sappression of
these bands of outlaws throughout his district in a sum-
mary manner. Ho will hold the communities who har-
bour them responsible for the outrages they commit, and
has already ordered the suppression of all papers that
encourage them and the punishment of their conductors.
Many of the rebel papers of Georgia and Alabama
have not hesitated to openly encourage these or-
ganisations. Witness the following from the Colum-
ba. Saw the day before Dr. Ashburn was mur-
dered:—" Startling developments are occurring daily. The
Ku-Klaxes bps astonished the natives. The whole tenor
of the radical speeches is denunciatory of the brigade of
wandering bravoes who are gathering from their graves to
wreak vengeance on traitors. Respectable people, white
or black, have nothing to fear. A coloured man, Friday,
went home, found his door looked, and his wife and chil-
dren fled to • neighbour's for fear of the Ku.Klnx. We
repeat, such as are faithful to their country need fear
nothing. Aspirit passes by au honest soul. Let those,
however, be they great or small, who plot their country's
rain, beware. A heavy doom awaits them. Beware !
They make brave peaches, but they tremble. Spirits are
floatiog in the air that feared not shot mid shell, and will
not now. As the sealawap read from the Ail end Timm
yesterday, we hope they'll continue to do so."
A Washington despatch says that at the earnest
request of the United States government Mr.
Adams has consented to remain in his position fur
the present, although he desires to return home at
an early day.
