The "Kuklux" is purely political Or
ganization, and Its object may be stated in
very few words. IL is to work upon the
fears of the colored people, and intimidate
them to such an extent as to keep them
from the ballot box. 1.-THE rapidity with
which the Khan has spread shows with
what favor it is looked upon by the con-
servatives. Meeting with the appreciation
and encouragement of the party, 1t is not
at all astounding that it already numbers
its members by thousands. Two weeks
ago the Kuklux was unknown in Will
liams county Now it exists there in
complete and thorough organization, and
has already commenced operations. In
this latter section of country, however,
the conclave acts with circunspection, but
perhaps none the less effectively The
members of the society, clad in winding
sheets and carefully masked, visit the
quarters of the freedmen, where, in hollow,
sepulchral tones, they represent them
selves as rebel soldiers who have come
forth from their graves All 3 this, of
course, works deeply upon the supersti-
tious natures of the freedmen, and no
wonder that they feel an ominous dread.
1t is fact that, wherever the society
exists, the colored people venture forth af-
ter ,nightfall with extreme reluctance, and
never, when they can avoid it.-Nashoile

Four Facts.

E-aF .

chises nineteen out of every twenty rebels,
and conters upon them all the rights and
privileges enjoyed by the voters of the
North. Only few perjured leaders are
excluded temporarily. t'F' s'' "'4 n.
.Ssc0n0-All loyal citizens, irrespective
of color or birth place, are enfranchised
and empowered to protect and preserve
their freedom and rights at the ballot box.
TbSrd-The Copperheads demand that
not only shall all the rebels be enfranchised,
but that all the loyal citizens of color shall
be disfranchised and stripped of all power
of self protection, and turned over to the
tender mercies of the untamed rebels to be
treated and maltreated according to their
viii and pleasure. 9H 3~"# 1l~NsFt o..
Fourth-The Copperheads insist that the
ten bogus State Governments of the South,
created by Andrew johnson, and never
ratified by popular vote, shall be uncondl-
tionally admitted into the Union, and that
ten full delegations of rebels shall be adj
mitted into Congress. The Interior pur-
pose when they regain control of the Gov

General Grant Defended by "a
Democrat.

"A late number of the N. Y. Citizen con-
tains Washington correspondence over the
familiar signature of "Miles O'Reilly," in
which allusion is made to one of the
many calumnies by means of which the
enemies of General Grant are vainly striv-
ing to destroy his popularity and prevent
his becoming candidate for the Presiden-
cy The writer of this correspondence,
General Halpine, is no friend of the Re-
publican party, and therefore, may be con-
sidered as witness whose political bias, if
he mas any, is against General Grant. He
says: $500. eisa 10 etaabis3g adl
" 1t is altogether probable, SO far as can
now see, that the Citizen may be obliged
to oppose the election of General Grant in
consequence of the platform upon which
the Radicals are endeavoring to place him
but it is no part Of the Democratic creed,
as it was taught to me in the old-time
councils of Tammany Hall, to fight with
poisoned arrows. Let me, therefore, after
full examination, denounce all these re-
cent charges affecting General Grants
habits as utter and dG1o7lC15le lies." sga53i

q Grant and .Joh nson Again.

It is difficult to decide whether the act
ing President or his Cabinet officers are
rendered more ridiculous by the undigni-
fed ard disgusting attitude in which they
appear in the Grant,J ohnson correspond
ence. Secretary Welles, perhaps, fills the
measure of official subserviency better
than any of his associates. He certifies
that all that the President had said or
thought was true, as matter of course.
Secretary McCulloch is scarcely less OBJ.
seQuious in his wholesale protestation that
whatever the President said must neces-
sarily be true. -. - =. ,....-....,, II a. /
Secretary Browning and Secretary Sew
ward enter into very long statements of
what they heard and understood. Secretary
Seward regrets that there had not been a
shorthand reporter present; but both he
and Browning bear testimony to Grants
emphatic declaration, that after he had ex-
amined the law, he would not hold the
Office against the judgment of the Senate
These two officials present themselves in
the interesting attitude of proving the en-
tire truth of two statements Of fact dia-
metrically opposed to each other. .4'
The country was sufficiently Inundated
when its Chief Executive employed force
of newspaper reporters to help him in H.
being subordinate. But when the Pres.
ident has had the falsehood so indelibly
branded upon his official assertions, it is
still more humiliating to have Cabinet of
sycOphants giving certificates that the
President was not a liar. In the annals
of this or any other government no more
pitisble exhibition of want of dignity by
a President and his official family, is re-
corded. 500 stE3s desc g. aefa= sp - % rtt -
The plain fact which the correspond
ence discloses is, that the President desired
to circumyent the law, and supposed he
could rely upon Grant in putting the job
through while Grant having resolved to
square his conduct by the acts of Con-
gress, assumed that even Andrew John
son would not really take him for rogue.
The letters of the Secretaries, so far as
they prove anything more than that their
authors are funkies, show conclusively
that Grant did not enter into any pledge
to assist Johnson in carrying out his
schemes. Mr.. Browning says that John
SON himself, at-the Cabinet meeting, Jam
uary 18th, represented that Grant ex-
pressed, on the Saturday previous, his re-
pugnance to being made party to judi
cial proceedings, and that the two " finally
separated without having reached def
mite conclusion. As to the understand

Injurious Effects of Cosmetics

An eminent Western physician in a COM
munication in a late number of the Medical
and Surgical Reporter, makes the following
allusion to what he calls serious evil per-
vading the American community:
To heighten their beauty in the eyes of
admlrlng gentlemen, the ladies are resort
ing to various cosmetics in the shape of
washes, powders and paints, which are
put up and lauded to the skies by greedy
and unprincipled kpaves calling them
selves druggists, as being sovereign RENE
dies for all the evils which beset a fair
complexion. Now the ladies' ought to
know that all the preparations are more
or less Injurious to the skin when used
habitualy, and some ofthem even poison
GUS and dangerous to health and life One
person in this community has suffered
nearly everything but death for the past
two years, besides expanding a small for
tune upon several doctors who did her no
good because they did not understand
the cause of the trouble have satisfac-
torily sscertained that it was nothing more
nor less than the use of cosmetic corr
posed wholly of carbonate of lead and
water. This is sold by druggists, who OBJ
tain it from New York and Chicago, put
up in beautiful stained glass hotties, and
labeled with high sounding name. The
lady above referred to had the usual symp-
toms of lead collie, followed by paralysis
of the f1exors of the wrists. Since discard
ing this cosmetic she is recovering the use
of her hands, and her general health is
improving. The test used is the following:
Shake up the bottle and pour little of
the mixture into wine glass, add few
drops OF nitric acid, which dissolves the
carbonate, making a transparent solution.
To this add few grains of iodide potas-
SUM, and there is produced beautiful
yellow, iodide of lead precipitated in a
solution of nitrate of potash.

Ing that the General would see the Presi'
ident again on Monday, although the Pres
ident needed this second interview to &C
complish his purpose, the General did not
need it to make evident has purpose not to
support that scheme. Johnson was too
dull to perceive this; Grant was detained
on Monday Monday night the Senate
resolution reached him; 1t was promptly
obeyed Tuesday morning, and the White
House plot fell through. The sole failure
in the matter was that Of johnson to LOOK
after his scheme of law-breaklng on Mon
