Democratic Lawlessness in Kentucky.
WHILE in the late Rebel States, under the
wise execution of the Reconstruction law, out
RACES upon the persons and property of the
freedmen, and upon Union men, have almost
totally ceased, in Kentucky, where so-called
Democracy has full sway, they are of everyday
occurrence; and the United States authorities
have just been forcibly resisted in attempting
to arrest the murderers of the freedmen at
Nicholasville, in that State The account
states that Lieutenant Rice was wounded in
three places, and private soldier was also
wounded Had it not been for the Reconstruo-
ton law, similar state Of things would have
prevailed all over the South; and give the
Democratic party power to-day, and Kentucky
lawlessness and intolerance would speedily
prevail in all the Southern States. The rule
of the Democratic party in the South means
the rule of mob law, of violence, and of
murder. Kentucky is good example of the
Jarbarism that calls itself Democracy.

Illness of Minister Wright.

The cable tells us that Hon. Joseph A. Wright,
United States Minister at Berlin, is lying at
the point of death. This information will be
received with sincere sorrow by those who
have had the pleasure of personal aCquaint-
ance with that gentleman. Urbane and cour-
teous, he was possessed of intellectual powers
of no mean order, and was universal favorite.
Governor Wright was born in Pennsylvania
in the early part of the century. When a
young man he emigrated to Indiana, and was
elected to Congress from that State in 1943.
In 1S49 he was chosen Governor of Indiana,
and was successfully reelected to that position
until 1857. In 1857 he was appointed by
President Buchanan Minister to Prussia, and
continued in that position until the accession
of Mr.. Lincoln. Returning in 1861, he was
elected United States Senator, and during
the one session he held that seat acted with
the ultra war Democracy, following the lead
of the lamented Douglas. In 1863 he was
appointed by President Lincoln United States
Commissioner to the Hamburg Exhibition.
Upon Mr.. Johnson's succeeding to the Chief
Magistracy, he was rendered his old post of
United States Minister to Prussia, and sailed
at once, and has remained in that position ever
since. He was warm personal friend of the
President, and his was the first appointment
made when Mr.. Johnson gained power. He
has well represented us in Berlin, and his long
experience has made him thoroughly familiar
with the customs of the country, and his per-
sonal popularity secured him an intimate
acquaintance with its public men.

The Kentucky Election.

THE special election in Kentucky for Congress-
men came off on Saturday, and, if reports are
to be believed, resulted in the success of the
ultra States Rights Democracy by largely
increased majority over the Duval contest
last year. The result is not in the least sur
prising. 1t is only what we might have con-
ddently anticipated. In Kentucky the Rebels
are not disfranchised, and the negroes are not
allowed to vote. Under such circumstances
there is no wonder that the Rebels gained the
asoendancy. 1t is probable that of the delega-
ion there will be seven ultra Democrats and

The Question of Reform at a New
Tribunal.

lElDuudls
TO-DAY the great Reform demonstration takes |
place in Hyde Park, London. At it will be |
represented all the working classes of Great |
Britain. The artisan, heretofore considered |
cipher in the sum of political power, now |
rises into apparent omnipotence, and meeting
in the place so long dedicated to nobility, will
speak plain words to those who need plain
declarations. The question of reform has been
carried before new tribunal. 1t was debated
in the Commons, and the popular demand was
refused by the secession of some of the So
called friends of the people. The masses now
canvass the matter for themselves. They
meet together and say what shall
and what shall not be passed as an
amendment to the law. The meeting today
is considered the grand elimination of the
popular opinion-the climax to the express
sion of popular determination. The nobility
fear that violence will be exhibited, and the
Government have been securing a special
police. We do not apprehend any such dis
play of physical violence as is feared. The
people are determined, but they are calm,
and will have their rights, not by displaying
lawless might, but by quiet display of
power and determination. We anticipate at
the meeting inLondon such a turnout as was
made in Birmingham, and such speeches as that
of John Bright at the latter place, where he
eloquently declared
1.-THE rich people of this country, as q mere
matter of wishing, would desire that every
body should be satisfied and everybody should
be comfortable; but the rich people in the west
end OF London cannot stand perpetually the
exhibition of $4,000 or 100000 or 10000 men
coming out and saying, we are shut out from
seeking to irjure you; we are not men of vic.
lence of whom you need be afraid; but there is
the Constitution, and we claim under that Con-
stitutlon TO have the right to vote for members
of the House of Commons Let Mr.. Beales and
his friends IN London-let the workingmen
everywhere, by great meetngs-the greater
the better-peaceful and orderly meet1 ngs
passing sound and rational but firm resolutions
let them make it appear TO every person
from the humblest in the land to the Queen on
the throne, that there is general, wide, 9
universal, and strengthening sentiment thai
Wnat eAlsts Is not longer tolerable, and thai
something better must be established. l give
you my word l never said anything with
that you have only thus to meet and thus q
speak, and the barriers which stand before yor
will fall at your words, and before lonR-it MAJ
not be this season-it may be next-vou will M
admitted TO a frank and generous and Uhara
and satisfactory exercise OF the eleetoral fran
chlse guaranteed by the Constitution OF Won
country"

sIaverv Abolished in Brazil.

TUE last stronghold of slavery on this conti-
nent. and in the world has fallen. The EN-
neror of Brazil on the 7th of April, issued
decree declaring all persons born in his
dominions after the Sth of April to be free
and all persons born in servitude previous to
that date to be free in twenty years. After
tbs abolition of slavery in this country, and of
eorsdom in Russia, Brazil was the only re-
naming great slave empire of the world. The
estimated number of her slaves in 1854 was
three and half millions, and at the present
thev cannot fall short of four millions. 1t lS
true that these slaves are not to be imme-
diately emancipated, but all future increase
of their number as slaves is prohibited and 1t
Is very probable that, long before the limit
now fixed for their emancipation shall arrive,
the Government of Brazil will shorten the
time allotted, and complete the great work at
once. The only remaining country In the
Western hemisphere where slavery prevails,
to any great extent is Cuba; and were not the
Government of Spain so reactionary and
despotic in its character, we might have hope
that even here it would soon cease to exist.
The effect of this great measure upon Brazil
cannot be other than beneficial. The gradual
transformation of so large part of her inhabi
tants from the condition Of slaves to that of
freemen, must give an impetus to the develop
ment of the empire such as could have been
secured in no other way. The wise and
humane character of the Emperor leaves no
room to doubt that proper measures will be
taken for the, education and elevation Of his
whole people. Emancipation will certainly make
Brazil more attractive to emigrants from other
countries, unless, indeed, we except thatsmall
class of Southern secessionists who could not
bear the idea of living in free country, and
SO emigrated to Brazil. What they will do
now it is hard to tell.
Such great events as the overthrow of
slavery in the United States, the abolition of
serfdom in Russia, and the downfall of slavery
in Brazil, are splendid landmarks to the
onward progress of the race. And they show
us, too, on grand scale, the hand of Provi-
dence in the affairs of men. Ten years ago,
he who should have prophesied these start
ling events so close at hand, would have been
deemed a dreamer and an enthusiast. God
has brought them about in His way and at his
own time, while we can only behold and adore
these displays of His wisdom and power.

THE DEBT.-The statement on May l of the

the total indebtedness is $2,66S, ,S75, O9s. The

it is useless to discuss whether or not a

comes, for a century orso, anational necessity.

MONDAY, MAY 6, 1867

1t is said that occasion, during Mr. Beechers
residence at the West, Committee from the church
where he preached called upon him to demonstrate
against his saying many witty things in his SER
mons. He replied to them:-"Brethren, IL you only
knew how much keep back, you would never think
of ofinding fault with me for what I say" In this
story Mr.. Beecher KEEPS BACK nothing. In it he
gives full scope all his faculties, and for the first
time finds fitting fed in which to display his trans.
cendaut genius. The title Of the story is

Modern Beau IlrumneIIisr,.

-
Beau Brunmell was the dandy Of his
day, and dandy Of a peculiar kind. Ety.
mologists tell us that the word dandy
is derived from the French dandsn,' or
'ninny,"or from the Italian dandoiaS OF
"tOy.' ..' s. .aI +ilg' - iAen,Saal
Hence dandy means ono who dresses
himself like doll, . top. o ycoxccnnb, 4
ninny. The peculiar type which was %,
pecially represented by the famous ,Brum.
NELL was combined with an amount ef
fastidiousness and helplesmess 10 which
there Is no parallel He was nremsrkhble
instance Of man pushing himself INTO .
grade of society to which he had no claim,
bv dint of certain amount Of assurance
and high estimation Of himself. There
is nothing more true thsn the saying that
the world takes a man at the value he sets
upon himself, 20 ...-,' sg,-Is ~.
But Of all the fops in existence, the old
fop is the most contemplate. A manwho
has outlived his generation; who trips,
like Agag, "delicstely" 10 hide the infrm-
tiles Of age, or affect youth that has
long ceased; who competes with the
young men Of the day in his attentions 70
the fair sex; who dresses in the. very ex-
treme Of the prevailing fashion Of the day,
with shirts elaborstely embroidered, and
wristbands fastened together with CON
spicuously magnificent sleeve-bnks, which
he is always pulling down, either to show
them or establish the fact which no one
would care TO dispute, that no has d clean
shirt to his back; who Is scented and per-
fumed; whose wig, faultlessly made, Is
judiciously sprinkled with few gray ,hhifs
that IL may appear to be bis own hair.
when he has long ceased 10 have aayt
boast Of; who uses dyes and cosmetics that
the marks Of age may be oblit,rated snd
the bloom Of youth initiated; who is IN d
futter Of delight when any one .conYersant
with his weakness is kind enough TO, mis-.
take him for his own son or the husband.
Of one Of his daughters; such q man Is an
object Of both pity and contempt When
age is not accompanied by wisdom, but
exhibits only the folly OF which mans weak
ness is capable, it is a hopeless case, l,sa-
Dirty fops are an especial abomination.
Men, Young or old, who are at great
pains to adorn themselves without the most
scrupulous regard to cleanliness; who wear
many rings upon very indifierently, washed
fingers; who hang themselves in chains Of
gold; whose shirt fronts present the great
est variety, at different times, Of the most
costly jewelry; whose discolored teeth and
ill-brushed hair are q revelation IN them

the more conspicuous by the decoration
with which they overlay it. r.7Lsi
