DIED

In Cleveland Ohio on the 18th inst Hon. Charles Battell, aged s78 years. Judge Battell was born in Torrineford where his remains were brought for inter ment. Funeral services were held at the church there on Thursday last
 In this place, April 15th after an illness Of three months, which she bore with great patience and with trust Ill God that never faltered, Celeste which she loved with the feryor Of a temperament deeply imbued with religious veneration, and by whose holy teachings she was guided through life. her loss is irreparabe. The children in the Sun day School will long remember the untiring, ab- sorbing interest she took in them. Every book was carefully read and numbered by her before it was given to them and they will recall for many years her tender inquiries for absent scholars, and the gentle voice whose tone always went to their hearts for her chd-like nature and simplicity ot speech closely allied her in spirit to the "little ones" whom the Master loves.
 Her fine mind was richly stored with the best thoughts of good authors, and her quick percep- lions ana delcate munitions emnenty fitted her to enjoy poetry. Her friends will always remem- Der her love of devotional song and her manner of reading 1t aloud: Her heart would be so full of love and trust, her holIest aspirations so quickened her lifted eye" would reach far beyond the things of time and sense-eyen unto the home prepared for her in Heaven. Her freshness of feeling, ap- preciation of all that is beautiful in nature or art and ready sympathy in the joys and sorrows of others, never let her heart grow old.
 She will be most gratefully remembered as a watcher by tho bedside of the sick and dying. There, her efficiency, cheerfulnsss, and tenderness can never be forgotten.
 She gave up her soul to God, who had so richly endowed it with His best gifts, without fear. Sure ly those '' gone before," whom her ministrations solaced-her faith encouraged-will now call her " blessed of the Lord"

s-Trinity Tablet ''

We notice with great pleasure, the start ing of college paper by the undergradl ater of Trinity, Hartford. The first mum. Der is we'll edited, we'll printed, altogeth. CT creditable affair. There is of course a l Greek motto, translation of one of Hor- | aces odes, and a comparison between cul. ture and the almighty dollar, in which the latter is made to look as mean as it ought | to look. One sentence hits this latitude beautifully: Speaking of Members of Con gress, the 1ablet says, "The pocket and not the people, is in many instances what we see represented, and, a money has had effect, true ability, acquired by education, is nowhere" And the people of the second and fourth Congressional Districts of Connecticut cry, 'Amen."

Democratic Assassins

In our last issue We stated that the Hon. G. W. Ashburn of Columbus, Ga, was murdered by the Ku Klux Klan The Sentinel saw fit to reply that the ENQUIRER had ''as usual drawn on its imagination for its facts" The .SentineFs assertion is as false in fact as it is ungentlemanly in form. In this case, as in its pallia- ton of the murder of Dostie it resiies the memory of the deceased, as if that could excuse party of thirty or forty cowardly ruffians for taking mans life ill cold blood The Sentiael then reports the bare-faced claim of it's rebel allies that Mr. Ashburne was killed by his own friends! What are the facts ?
 The Ku Klux Klan started ill Tennessee, in opposition to the Republican adminis- tration of that State. Spreading rapidly through the Cotton States it appeared at Columbus week or two before the murder of Ashbnrne. Letters were sent him, pur- porting to come from that organizatio n, threatening his life. Simultaneously threatening articles appeared in the Demo- cratic papers of the place. All the assas- sins wore masks and were we'll dressed showing that they were of the better class of citizens of Columbus. They are evi- dently members of the new recent political order called the 'Ku Kiux Kan,''' writes the presiding Elder of the Methodist Con- ference of that District, the day after the murder. No attempt at prosecution has been made. The Columbus, Ga, Enquire, of the same day does not even suggest that Ashburne had been murdered by negroes. It does say, however, that,
 Ashburn was considered the chief organizer of the black Radical Party in Georgia. His iniuence over tie negroes was great, and Mei'e conside- Tdte ercUehee1 dnl0isg Mis c(lss Of Me DuDildfiO, on account of hts t!o0dy dedtt We are glad to say, however, that We hear of no violent demon stratlons by any Of~them.
 Ashburn was assassinated on the 1st inst, and upon receiving news of the out rage. Gen. Meade issued the order we copy on our first page, attributing that and other crimes to this organization! The Sentinel, also, labors for half a col
 umn to make out the Ku-Klux K Ian a joke So did the Wor!d-a fortnight ago. It so happens that the ''den' of a branch of the order at Memphis, which had at tempted the murder of Judge at that place, was discovered and it's written con stitution seized and published. We select few passages:-
 "The object of this organization is for the p,,r pose of protecting the people of the South from the band of murderers and robbers now proving upon them ecen to ute Iast so,f-0ssassiaaiion0 and we pledge ourselves one to the other that nothing will be allowed to deviate us from this no- ble object"
 - further swear, that all Ra dicals and negroes who have placed themselves opposite to the inter- ests ot the owners of the soil of Tennessee, shall toreoe'' be n,y enemy and that under no circum- stance will have other connection with them, if can help it, than to welcome them with bloody hands to hospitable graves"
 The s'word of danger" is, C. EN Lan,a SaIae- Mdni :"
 The editor of the Sentinel will find the defence of the Ku-Klux Klan neither q very easy nor very honorable task.

RI~ The Litchfeld Enquirer. entered upon its forty-fourth volume the present week. It was established by a brother of Charles Adams, who, some twenty odd years ago lost his life by falling through the ice while fishing. After his death his brother Charles conducted the paper for many years, and it always sustained-a cons sistent high character. The paper has since changed hands several times, but for tunately it always fell into good and loyal keeping, and is now doing good service in the ranks of the great Republican party.

RB- The whites in North Carolina are preparing to contest the election with the blacks in thai State. An immense meeting was held in Whining mington on the 8th, and was addressed by severa able speakers. Were it not for the swords and bayonets that are kept there to prevent them from exercising their lawful rights, they would carry everything by astounding majorities.
 The registered whites of North Carolina largely exceed the registered blacks in number. The issue in that State is not between white and black, but between Un. ionist and Rebel. Without Q large white vote, the Republican party in North Caro-. lima would not have a ghost of chance whereas, they are now confident of carry ing the State.
