tor of the Phenir has received seve
raj communications from prominent
and influential gentlemen of the up
country, asking that he publish, for
the benefit of the conservative peo-
pie of the State-black and white
alike-a cheap campaign paper, dee
voted especially to political informa-
tion and suggestions and truths, to
the end that the cause of the Demo
cratic party be strengthened, and
that whites and blacks alike may
realize that the peace and prosperity
of the State depend upon the adop-
ton OF the conservative principles
set forth in the platform of the De
mocratic party of this State. He has
conferred with the State Central
Executive Committee of the party
here, and they advise that, inasmuch
rs the Picnic is already carrying out
the views which our friends of the
upper country desire enforced, the
Weekly Cleaner, issued from this
Office, and containing the matter of
our daily issues, be directed to the
campaign purposes alluded to. He
proposes, therefore, to devote one
half of the Cleaner to political mat
ters, and to make it, par excellence, q
paper for the political use and pur-
poses of the conservative movement
in this State. The Weekly Cleaner,
for the next six months, will, there
fore, be furnished at the following
rates:
To single subscribers. -. 81 so

The proprietor may add, that the
Picnic will continue to do the best
it can for its patrons, and as its pros
poets improve, will elements of new
interest be added to the paper.

The Northern press is tceming with
what purports to be exposures of the
secrets of the Ku Klux Klan, each
one Of which is vouched for as COR
rect; but as no two are alike, save in
the horrible nature of oaths and
ceremonies, it plainly shows that
this celebrated patent medicine has
been made available as vehicle of
mere misrepresentation and slanders.
We can hardly believe the Northern
people to be SO absurdly ridiculous
rs to credit the balderdash; but,
after all, it is only in keeping with
the thousand and one SANDERS that
have preceded it-excep pit, perhaps,
that it is intensified to the limits of
sanity. We have never regarded the
existence of such an order, outside
of some foolish jokes practiced on
the freedmen in the country, to keep
them from stealing chickens and pigs
during the night Some time ago,
description of horrible monster in
a Mississippi paper, roaming through
the country at night, served, by
acting upon the superstitious fears Of
tho negroes, to relieve the immediate
section of corntry from such depre-
dations. This ioea, it is likely, was
hit upon in other places, and to this,
and this alone, is due the existence
of the frightfnl myth, the Ku Klux
Klan.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

Another year is drawing to close.
1t has been fraught with blessings to the
people of this State. We have enjoyed
exemption from pestilence from social
commissions and from al widespread ca
lamities Field and sky have miuistered
to bountiful harvest, and in every wor-
thy pursuit industry has been richly re-
warded.-Under the benign influences of
peace, the energies of the people haze
been directed to the development of our
vast resources, and on every hand have
been multiplied the evidences of unexam-
pied growth and progress. Not only in
material things have we been prospered
during the past year, but an unusual i'm
provement in our spiritual and educational
interests has added t. the power of the
State and contributed to the elevation and
happiness of the people. For these, and
other and manifold blessings, ought We to
set apart a day on which to unite in ex-
preston of gratitude to God.
In recognition of this duty, I, Lucius
Fairchild, commend that THURSDAY,
THE 26rH DAY OF NOVEMBER
next, be observed by the people of this
State, in the usual manner, as day of
Public Thanksgiving.
Given under my hand and the great seal
of the State, in the Executive

LAUGHING INTERpRETED.-A Paris
paper, the Horoscope, gives rules for new
art of reading the character of a person by
his style of laughing. We are told that
cha, ha'' indicates that the laughter is
frank, tickle, fond of noise and nervous.
Phlegmatie aud melancholy people laugh
thus: He, he, he" When you hear a
man laugh 40, no." it betokens gene
rous sentiment and firmness in his actions,
but, it is added, beware of woman who
uses this vowel in her laughing. "He,
he, he" is the laugh Of children AID iuno-
cent persons, and denotes nature pliable,
devoted, but timid and irresolute Blon-
DIES also laugh thus, but we are warned
that such are not al innocent. Avoid
like the plague all who laugh "hu, hu."
They are avaricious, hypocritical, miSan-
thropic, and take pleasure in nothing.

UNEXPECTED AssIsTANCE'-Se Several
months since we mentioned that our
quondam WATERFOWL editor, W. Innes
Martin, had established a Democratic pa :
per at Racine. "Iunes" went in on his
nerve and evidently thought he was Just
slaugh tering the unfortunate Shanghais
within his reach, but the count showed
that enough of them were left to more
than double the Republican majority of
last year. How do you account for it

turned IN that old stronghold and that he
was just the man for the business. Ac-
cordingly he challenged his opponent G..

debates in the county The latter de-
clined, telling the sanguine Bolens to go
ahead and that he would not interfere
with him, and leaving Rock county to the
tender mercies Of the Democratic champ
ion he went to the assistance of weak and
doubtful districts throughout the State.
The final result must have been trem-
endous eye-opener to Bolens for there was
never a more ludicious contrast between
theory and practice, purpose and ac hieve-

Of 81 200 900 This stock is taken to some

as collateral security for million Of green

tuition and borrow at per cent interest
one million more of greenbaeks, giving
the first million as security. The securi-

locked up, with the second million of dol

another bank, and in the same manner

continue this game until they have locked

In the meanwhile they have sold large
amounts of stock, and when the fall comes

RESULT IN JEFFERSON COUNTY.

The official canvass of our County has
been made and The result shows that the
Republicans have much to encourage
them in spite Of the heavy naiorities
given against their candidates. Last fail
the Democratic majority in this county
was 1856 this fall it ranges from 4O3 to
595. The result is different from what
We expected, and from what vas expect
ed Of US through the State, but a satisfac-
tory explanation is at hand. During the
last four years la sc numbers of imni
grants, mostly GermaLs, have settled in
this county. Many Of them were natur
allied and voted year ago which fact
accounts for the heavy Democratic ma
jority at that time. This fall the Repub
licans went to work determined to wipe
out that majority, and would have sue
ceeded handsomely had they not been
met with tremendous influx of new vot-
ers who were beyond their reach and in
tiuence. Eight hundred naturalization
papers We're issued by our County Clerk
this fall six hundre1 and fifty of them
were to persons who voted the Democratic
ticket, and about one half of the remain
der to parties living outside the county.
SO it will be seen that we not only over
came the majority Of last fall but also
cancelled a good proportion of the new'ac-
eession to the Democratic strength. Had
not the Republicans of this county work
ed most earnestly and efficiently they
would have been buried under majority
of at least twelve hundred.
The total Republican vote of the coun-
ty IS about Is per cent. greater than ever
before. No part of this gain is to be at
tributed to accessions from out side. as it
is we'll known that we. have lost more
strength by Republicans moving cut of
the county than has been gained by 9TH
ers coming in; but it shows lust what
we have recruited from the ranks of the
enemy The only means by which the
Democrats keep their as, endancy is
through additions to their number from
| abroad, and if cut off from that supply
as they soon VIII be-for the county is
now very thickly settled-they would in
evitab y soon fall behind. At least sew
enty FIVE Germans voted the Republican
ticket at the last election and we also had
a very respectable Irish vote, The good
work begun in this direction is bound to
go on and produce every year greater and
! better result.
