say A Washington correspondent of the Bal

There have been received here by Republi-
can members of Congress such vigorous protests
of Republican constituents against the last re-
construction bill adopted by the Reconstruction
Committee, forbidding adjudication by the Su-
preme Court in causes arising under the recon-
struction acts, that it is not believed the COM
mittee will urge the bill on the House, and from
authentic sources it is learned that the proposed
measure will be reconsidered by the committee
and ignored. Democratic members say they
prefer to have the bill tested by vote in the
House, and let the result 60 to the people in the

negro rule is TO be put over them.
Until 1t is tested, whether they will
have this rule put over them, they
will endeavor to avoid all organiza-
tions looking to its defeat by violence
in any form. But should they fail in
their efforts, and negro governments
beput over them, we doubt not that
every, city, town, village and neigh
borhood in the South will have com
binations Of the white population, to
protect themselves against negro
rule. Our.own impression, however,
has ever been, that Congressional
reconstruction Tor rather destruotion)
for the Southern States will fail
that is, that so many States will fail
adopting it, as practically to defeat
the object for which it was put into
operation-the pe,petuation of The
radicals in po,rer. Should it fail in
Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia,
Texas and Alabama, the people Of
the other Southern States may we'll
await the development of events,
through the next Presidential cleo
ton. But if the radical policy is
successful throughout the South, the
Herald is perfectly right in its infer
ence-that war of races is inevita-
BILE, and We do not suppose that any
intelligent white man in the. South
radical or Democrat-has now or ever
had any doubt that this would be,
and must be, the result, of such o.
policy. The idea that the white race
in the South, vastly superior in num-
bers to the negroes, would allow the
Southern States to be ruled by them,
Is SO silly and absurd, that no sensi-
BILE man could entertain it. The
radicals in Congress knew, when
they passed these measures of recon
struction, that they would institute
by them. if successful, q war of races
in the South. They knew it-and
they intended it. The Southern peo-
pie will strive to avoid it; but when
it becomes inevitable, they will ac-
cept their fate, and meet it as be-
comes them. They have no more
fear of the rule of negroes than of
herd Of wild buffaloes from the prai-
ries o. the West.

The Ku KnUx KHAN AT WASHING
ToN-FORNEY's FRIaHT.--According
to Forney, the Southern Ku Klux
Klan, that sanguinary and mysterious
Organization of alleged ex-rebel bush
whackers, have opened their dens in
Washington, and commenced the
issue of their terrible edicts to OBJ
noxious radicals, beginning with Ben.
Wade and Ben. Butler. Fearful, in

with their cabalistic collins, death
heads and cross-bones and formulas,
such as 'Bloody month, cloudy
moon. Death! death to traitors!''

received these dismal tickets of leave

very easily frightened. At one time

,The WAR oE Raccs in the south. I.

. ~ ~
"Mspy months ago we warned the
radicals that they were sowing q fear
full harvest in the South. We told
them that the measures they were
adopting would inevitably result in q
conflict between the two races. Heed
less of the solemn lessons which his
tory teaches, and utterly regardless
of tho laws. of nature, our radical
rulers forced their policy upon the
South, and already are We beginning
to seeswhat the consequences will be.
FromSa all appearances q war of races
in that unhappy section ofthe Union.
is rapidly. approaching. The first
seeds of distrust were sown by the
Freedmen's Bnrgau, which, although
under the patronage of the General
Government, was most shamefully
used by the radical party to poison
, the minds of the ignorant blacks
against their former masters. At a
later day, the Bureau not being as
secret o concorn as was desirable,
loyal league clubs were formed from
the Potomac to the Rio Grande.
These organizations were composed
almost entirely Of negroes; they be-
came so powerful in numbers and
political importance, that eventually
their members assumed to be the
rulers and masters of the whites. So
long as they were permitted to dis
play their arrogance and assert their
!usurped power, 30 long was the dan
ger averted.9 But the logical result
g, of two years of despotism lies now
before us in the fact of o counter ac-
tion on the part Of the whites. From
one end of the South to the other q
new secret society, known as the sKu
Klux Klan, has been organized in
opposition to universal negro suf-
frage and negro rule. The aims and
purposes Of the association are not
Aconoealed ftom. the world. The
5outhern whites have declared that
Fthey will no longer tolerate O policy
which sinks them into servitude and
makes q serni-barbarous race their
masters. Thus we nor have two in
tensely hostile elements organized
and organizing, and facing each
other-the Ku Klux Klan, or secrect
society of white men, on the one
manu-, aht UHo ioyA leeSne aSSOcla-
ton, or secret society of negroes, on
the other, each struggling for supre-
macy, and each of a race alien in
civilization and ideas to the other.
How long will it be before such an
tagonistic elements pass the bounds
of political warfare and engage in a
contest of bioodshed and des o!!stx;; ?"
The above extract from the New
York He,'aldis full of truth-although
we think it is too fast in its conciu-
sion, that q war Of races in the South
is inevitable. It is in error, also. in
supposing that the secret organiza.
ton of the Ku Klux Klan is generally
prevalent in the South. It is un-
known, we are satisfied, IN South
Carolina; aud excepting in Tennes-
see, where it originated, can scarcely
be said to be an organization at all.
The proper time for, such organiza-
= tons has not yet arrived. The white
race of the South are now earnestly
striving to prevent the necessity of
any snch organizations, by defeating

AN ANT TRAf.-As the season is now
at hand for the pests, the ants, housewives
and other who are troubled with them may
probably use the following trap to advantage:
Procure a large sponge, wash 1t well, press
it dry, which will leave the cells quite open !;
then sprinkle over it some fine white sugar,
and place it where the ants arc troublesome
They viii soon collect upon the sponge and
take up their abodes in the cells. 1t is only
necessary to dip the sponge in sealding hot
water which will wash them out dead. Put
on more sugar and set the trap for new
haul; this process will clear the house of
every ant.

WEEvu--An old farmer communicates
TO the Nashville papers what he has found to
be a sure preventive of weevil in wheat. He
says: I'm piling up your wheat after it has
been cleaned with fan, TO every three
bushels pat in good hard brick, dried by
the sun, and be sure it is perfectly dry at
the time you use it. The brick absorbs the
moisture that naturally accumulates in the
grain and causes the wheat to become 50
hard and fiuty that the insect or fly can
not penetrate the outer covering.

GLYCERINE.-A bottle of this should be

syrup, sweet, and forms the main principal of
fats. 1t has no smell if pure hence it is not
disagreeable. For chapped hands it is ex-
cellent, preventing the air from reaching the
skin and thus keep it meist. 1t is the best
hair oil in the world, as it never takes on
faint. 1t keeps the hair moist as 1t has
the merit of not being dried by the air, but
draws moisture from the atmosphere. 1t is
also the principal medicine for ear complaints,
especially dry ear. Pour few drops into
