SECRET TRUsTs.-The United States Su-
preme Court has recently made an import
ant decision on the subject of the transfers
of lands protesting to be an absolute con-
veyance, but accompanied with concealed
verbal agreement between the parties
securing benefit to the grantor at the
expense of his creditors. The court says
that the law will not permit debtor in
failing circumstances to convey his lands
by deed without reservations, and yet oc-
cupy it for limited time for his own bene-
fit. Hence, when debtor, in pursuance Of
private understanding, retains. posses
sion, rent free, for one yoar, of Lands sold
by him, such conduct creates secret trust
for his benefit, and renders the conveyance
fraudulent as to creditors, and reid. And
it made no difference in the legal aspect Of
the case before the court that the interest
reserved was not Of great value, and that
the debtor did not intend to defraud his
creditors.-NGtional Intelkgencer.

A Candid Confession.

The New York Sun, which, under its
new administration, is rivaling the 7ri'
bune in rabid Radicalism, sums up its
comments on the result in Connecticut
in the following strain of sadness, and
"throws up the sponge" acknowledging
that ills useless for the Radicals to make
another fight there:
On the whole, however, it is certain
that the Democrats have not met with che
disaster which the Republicans SO conf
IDENTIFY predicted for them. They have
preserved their control over the executive
government of the State. Their prestige
remains unbroken. They come out of a
desperately contested election conquer
ors and not conquered. Had the result
been otherwise, their case would have
been hopeless indeed. As tits, they can
still reckon Connecticut as surely theirs
in November for it is not likely that,
after such defeat as they have met with
now, the Republicans will then seriously
contest it.

The Richmond Whig, in an article

American origin, nor the within of wag
but, like the order itself, originated in
China among the merchants engaged in
smuggling opium into that empire. II
was introduced into America by Humph-
rey Marshall on his return from the
Celestials. Marshall organized the first
band in room 81, Browns Hotel, Rich
moud, intending it for a sort of hilarious
social club. The Wing says there are
four thousand Ku-Kluxes in Richmond,
and seven hundred more waiting admis-
sion. Each one hundred has captain,
each fifty lieutenant, and each twenty
q sergeant. Only able-bodied white men
are admitted, and all must be of manly
stature.

Ante Mortsm Obituary by the Louisville
Courier.

The Memphis Bulletin, finding that it
was losing business and subscribers, as it
had long before lost the confidence of the
public, some time ago reduced its size (it
was the largest sheet printed in Memphis)
and its price to fifteen cents per week.
This change did not haze the desired
effect for the small price at which it was
furnished necessarily compelled the pro-
prietors to print an inferior paper, with
its matter SO reduced as 70 make it com
paratively yalueless, and What little It did
publish was so condensed as to give its
readers very inadequate conception of
what vas going or in the world. Those
who took ii soon found that 1t was
like the Indians sermon, poor pay,
poor preach" and they we're compelled
in order to be properly informed of i'm
portant events transpiring at home and
abroad, 10 stop the Bulletin aud take
one Of its higher-prieed eotep poraries
that could afford % publish the news.
The inevitable result has been even more
rapid Of accomplishment than VIC bad
anticipated. The bulletin in its last is-
sue announces that it has changed pro-
urieiors-being sold for a mere song,
probably 10 order to escape the clutches
of the sheriff, and hereafter will be full
blown Radical in its politics. The par
tisSn patronage Is viii get gill sustain II

handed around TO keep the machinery in
motion, and then it will disappear for

To tho Hon. Simon Cameron. u.'s' Senator
DrAn Sra: The undersignsd, your
political friends now at Harrisburg, the

would respectfully say that upon tho
eAatiurent success of the Hon. Benja-
min r, Wade 10 the Presidency OF the
United States, and on the reorganiz alton
of the Cabinet, that you recommend 70
the President on behalf OF Pennsylva-

Stanton from the Department OF War TO
that of the Treasury.
Be pleased to say TO Mr.. Stanton, on
our behalf, that the country owes HIM q
debt of gratitude for his services during
the war that can never be adequately
repaid; aud we feel that the demoralized
condition of the Treasury Department,
resulting from the administration OF
Andrew johnson, requires for its purifi'
cation the same high characteristics ex'
hibited BY Mr.. Stanton in the suppress
sion Of the rebellion.
This is what called forth the answer OF
Stanton in yesterdays kilograms, which
il suited the purposes Of the Radical
operators best to send without it.

The entire cost of BroEnlow's militia
has, so far, been ascertsined TO have been
$3l7 600, which will, when the whole &C
count is settled, reach 1876, 900. During
the time the militia was in service, and
up to the first of January last, almost
every cent Of revenue paid into the State
Treasury was used to defrAy its eKpen-

Outrageous Decision I'm New Orleans

THIRD DISTRICT CoURT-JudGh p.
Benjamin ps. Alexander Norton 10
July, 1867, suit was instituted in the
Third District in behalf Of Judah P. Ben
jamin, Secretary of War of the late Con-
federate States, for the recovery OF large
fee from Alexander Norton for legal SER
vices, rendered by Benjamin d Micou, in
a suit entered in the United States Court
in 1853, for said Nortof, and successfully
prosecuted for his benefit through the
District and Circuit Courts. Mr.. Benja-
minis claim was made in his own behalf,
and in behalf of the heirs of his deceased
partner, Mr.. Micou. The amount claimed
was 5000, and twenty per cent. upon the
Judgment obtained, which was for $780,
500. The whole claim, therefore, was
S22, 100. /H
In November, 1867, pereuptory ex-
ception was filed by defendant, on the
ground that plaintiff had no right to in
stitute an action, either for himself, or
for the use of any other person before
this court, and was debarred from being
heard because he was ian uupardoned
rebel and public enemy" and was dis
franehised from the exercise Of any civil
rights by the laws Of Congress and the
proclamations of the President
In behalf Of plaintiff, it was admitted
that he had been Secretary of War of the
Confederate States Government, and that
he had resided abroad since tha termina-
ton of the war.
Judge Emerson has decided in favor
of defendant, and dismissed the suit
In the reasons giEen for his judgment
maintaining the exceptions, BE says:
The national government had the right
and power to enact laws con6scating the
property of the insurgents, and it had
the same right and power to prescribe
their civil status. 1t has done 30 10 an
act entitled "An act to suppress insur.
rection, approved July 18th, 1852"
The above is contrary to the plain and
universally received principle as to the
presumption OF innocence, and to the
letter Of the Constitution OF the United
states-=thst no nan shall be deprived
Of his property without due process Of
law" The plea'in the nature Of outlawry
against Mr.. Benjamin could not legally
havs been sustained, otherwise than by
proof Of eopvietiOn Of some offence
working the forfsituSs Of Ell the rights Of
q citizen. Nothing short of the FfeOrd
of that conviction would have been evi.
dspce, and yet the "court" presumed
his guilt. and on that presumption
robbed him OF an acknowledged just
claim; and mere than that sohbed
through him the children ofhis late part,
uer, who died long before the war, and
who could not. therefore. be charged viii
disloyalty. 1t would seem there mus
have been corruption, where gross igno
