SENATOR NYE.-The Philadelphia Press
thus alludes to the speech of Senator Nye, at
the grand Union ratification meeting in that
city on the 18th ult
Hon James w. Nye, the gifted Senator
from Nevada, electrified the brilliant au-
dicnce at the Academy last evening with MS
nervous and imprisoned eloquence. The
fearless and lion hearted radicali>m of the
glowing orator took his audience by storm,
and gain and again elected repeated cut
bursts Of applause that seemed il they
would never cease. The echo Of the people
to his outspoken and unqualified demand for
equal and exact justice TO all-for equality
before the law, for TIE rights Of loyalty-was
significant and instructive. They want
and their voice is net uncertain-a land with
out slave, country where every man is
clothed wi n the more than regal garments
of American citizeShiP. The fervent faith
of the speaker seemed to inspire the hearers;
ana as he pleaded the cause Of humanity,
honor and Justice, he carried them forward
resistlessly, as with a torrent, from point 10
point, from conclusion 10 conclusion. until
they found themselves shouting the old war
cries, and standing on the old ground which
brought victory in 1865.

Conversation with the President.

Mack, the Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial gives an account
of two recent conversations he has had with
the President, in which the latter expatiated
on injustice that has been done him, especial
w in the matter of the impeachment. We
make the following extract from this reported
conversation:
IL asked the President if Butler hadn't APP
piled to him in 1865 for 4 Cabinet Office.
"No," he said, ''Butler himself never did, but
his friends did it for him." A strong move
ment was made to get Butler in Stanton's
place, and because it didn't succeed, Butler
has been pretty sharp after me ever since.
The idea was to put Butler in the War Office
as the first step toward recognizing the Dem>
ocrat party with such men as he at the head
of it.
1 asked the President if Forncy wasn't on
the same tack with Butler in the matter of
recognizing the Democratic party, eyes"
he said, che was; and he (Forney) began to
grumble as early as December, 1864, just af-
ter the Presidential election, because Demo,
Gratis like himself bad been neglected and
badly treated during Lincon's first admins
tration. The first thing he did was to write
me letter. hoping that when came to the
Vice Presidency would give him the control
of some patronage that he said belonged to
the Office of Secretary of the Senate but had
of late years been given to the Sergeant,at-
arms. He hoped l would change that. Then
when became President he was still more
importunate for something or other that he
wanted. He always wanted something. He
thought he could take charge of me and
control everything, and when l wouldn't let
him do that he quarreled with me. He is a
mighty small man to quarrel with, but, if it
was worth while, could very easily show the
motive of his opposition to me-" The Presi-
dent also showed me letter from Forncy,
dated January I, 1865, in which the writer
hopes the admission of Tennessee and Louis
lana will not be embarrassed by the question
of negro suffrage, and doesn't see how North
ern men can vote to enfranchiSe the illiterate
negroes Of the South, while in nearly every
State in the North the blacks are disf6an-
ohised"

NEGRO SUFFRAGE DEFEATED.

The radicals of Michigan recently made a
new Constitution, in which was made pro-
vision for negro suffrage. The pill was sugar
coated, but it wouldn't go down. Michigan,
the most radical of the north western states,
spurns the nauseous dose, and is not willing
that negroes shall have voice in her coun-
ellis. Truly this is magnanimousin the Mich
iganders, who arerepresented in the Senate
of the United States by the drunken Chand-
Ter, and the brutal Howard. Through their
votes negro suffrage is forced upon the op-
pressed people of the South, and the repre-
sentatives of the lazaroni infest the capitals
of all the Southern States, but Michigan,
the State that has clothed them with Sena-
torial robes. rcpudiates the hellborn scheme
for herself. Such inconsistency ought. to
sink any party, that practices it beneath an
unremovable weight of contempt

THREATENED DETERMINATION.

The dongs of the mysterious order, which
INDUCES the unpoetic title of the - Ku
Klux Khan" have excited the indignation of
Major General Meade, who commanded the
Federal forces at Gettysburg, but who isnow
the reigning Satrap of the Sd military Dis
trict. lie has issued an order which has for
its object the determination of the "klan,"
and the suppression of all newspapers in his
district that may be guilty of the helnous Of
fence Of giving publicity to the meetings of
the K. X. X" The order of General
Meade is simply ridiculous, and the Rich
mond Enquirer we'll says, that since the ter
rib'e .:BATrLE OF THE KEGS, when Brit
ish admiral opened the broadsideS ola block
aiding fleet upon few empty barrels, there
has been nothing comparable to the roar of
artillery with which Major General Meade of
the Regular Army greets the mysterious Ku
klux klau. If there is anything in history
comparable to the terror of this heroic officer,
it is the we'll authenticated account in DR..
Samuel Peters History of Connecticut" of
the frogs OF dried up lake near the town of
n lHuOm. IN lIaI state, having ITlSuteueu us
inhabitants out of their wits by their hoarse
croaking as they retreated to the nearest river
for water. Hearing the roar of thirsty myr-
lads of bull-froes, the people Of Window, be-
lieving that the British and Hessians were
upon them, sent forth deputation ofleading
citizens to surrender the town upon the best
terms they could get. Among this delegation
was doubtless some of Meade's ancestors. The

upon which the secret order post their mys-
terious notices, and the "K. X. K" are to

IN DANGER.

No ono can imagine the regret with which
we learned last week, through the columns Of
the Berkeley Union that the fearful Ku
Klux's had made a pass at the amiable Joe.
The Union says he wasn't scared, but we know
better than that, for them nine-foot "fellows"
with their grave clothes, would make brave
mans eye balls Jingle, and to the coward heart
of Chapine they must have sent chill that
would have frozen it, had it not been in
good state of alcoholic preservation.
Poor Joe, he has a rough time of it. During
the war he was the inject of constant alarms,
and on one occasion fed with portion Of his
wifes apparel on since the war he has been
constantly plucked by rebel editors; suits
have been brought against him for obtaining
goods urder false pretences he has been
proved a defaulter to the government he loved
so we'll and now, most horrible Of all, the
Ku Kux Klan has spotted him as a victim
The Affections of Job were toerable compared
with the annoyances of this "loya" martyr,
who has made more money and rcaped higher
honors out of hypocritical profession of
loyalty than any other man ever did with the
same scanty supply of brains and courage
But he bears up under it all, sustained as he
is by an, inexhaustible stock of impudence,
and an unfathomable degree of rascaty.-
The order received by him purports to have
originated in this town, and is in the following
language -
IND DIVISION, STATE OF VIRGINIA
l. Il
Den No. 3, ChdrleSto,rn Virginia..
Joseph y. Chaplinc-Y GU are notified that
being under the ban of Div. No. 2, X. X. X,
Den No. 3, you are ordered to leave the State
inside Of two days. or you will be suspended
not from otfee-but by the neck from the near
est tree at hand, when You are caught.
BY order Of the Most High Ali Pacha,
Grand Mogul.
Now if he had ever received such an order,
then TIE matter might be treated in a serious
light, but the whole thing is lie conceived
by Joe, and Matched out by Hoke. Nobody
in this town ever cared enough about Joe
Chaplne to order him to leave the State within
two days. We think it likely he will take
his departure from the county between two
days, and perhaps before great while, but it
will be that
conscience that makes towards of US aIl,''
that will propol him, and not the order of the
Great Mogul of the Ku Klux Khan. The
two Joe's-Hoke and Chapline-wanted to
make a little capital, hence the publication OF
this order.
As to the notice which appeared in our
paper calling meeting for the organization
Of Klan in this town, we have emily to say

Mr.. Davis.

The New York Herald has leading
editorial advising Mr.. Davis to flee from the
United States at once, and place himself
beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Govern
ment instead of appearing here for trial in
accordance with the terms of his bail bond.
The argument presented is that johnson will
surely be removed land that Wade will certain
ly hang Mr.. Davis, being melted thereto by
such creatures as Beast Butler and that set
1t is asserted that the new Indictment against
Mr.. Davis was framed to convict and not to
release, and Mr.. Davis is urged to flee in
order to save himself from hanging, by reason
of such conviction. We hardly think the
advice of the Herald will effect Mr. Davis in
the least.

carried the state by a majority handsomely
increased from that of last year, Governor
English having been elected by 967. His
majority now is reported to be about 1000.
This is grand achievement. 1t would have
been a grand achievement had the democracy
only held their majority Of last year, for they
have had to meet foe whose desperation
seems to have been boundless aud whose
pecuniary resources were endless. Glorious

For many years the celebrated law
suit of Mrs. General Gaines has been before
the courts, and excited great public interest,
mainly from the persistence with which each
party fought the other from court to court.
At last the litigation is over, and Mrs. Games
is victor. The Supreme court of the Unite d
States has delivered its opinion reversing the
decision of the Circuit court of Louisiana, re-
affirming the legitimacy of Mrs. Gaines, and
confirming her in all her rights of property
in the State Thus, after a steady prosecu>
ton of her claims, this lady has at length
come into possession of an estate worth seve-
raj millions of dollars.
