Wade Hampton has accepted the
situation once more. He did so some
time after the war, when he failed to
fad that last ditch in which he swore
to plunge, aud he, metaphoricdlly
speaking, beat his spear into pillow
share about tho same time. At the
first opportunity he let go the plow
handle, aud essayed to grasp the
sword, wh'ch he has again abandon
ed to " oheerinlly accept the situa-
ton" IL is to be hoped he WILL keep
to his good resolution this time.
The coOred citizens of st. Paul
Miuuesota, held a jubilaton, Friday

amendment. They marched through
the streets with Il band. and serena
ded Governor Marsh II, Morton
Wilkinson, Mayor Stewart, and other

The Provisional Government of
Spain has done wisely in proposing
to make treaties of peace with Chill
aud Poru. Its war with tho South
American Republics was wanton.-
Thus far it has brought nothing but
dishonor to the Spanish flag. Peru
aud Chill are stronger by reason of
the attacks made upon their nation
ality. 1t is as impossible for the
Spanish flag to return permanently
to the shores of America as the rep
resentative of an absolute monarchy
as it would be for Queen Victoria to
send feet to New York and re es
tablish the statue Of George the
Third in Bowling-Green. In Spain
liberty means peace aud the Patri-
otic men who manage her destinies
never did better thing than when
they proposed to make peace with
their former South American colo
mics.

proceedings nobody was havmed by

es was poa"e aud brotherhood Yet
the next day all the principal Union
men who took part in the meeting
were served with notices from law

them on pain of death 10 leave the
State within thirty days. And ex-
perience will not allow us to believe
that these orders aud threats are
merely the empty mouthings Of tru
culent black guards, The Ku Klux
Klau have a fancy for murder. The
District Commander has ex ressed u

the Union men have called u meet

State Of the secret bands which have
so long disgraeed it.
Our correspondent at Frankfort
telegraphod yesterday that it was Sc.
riously proposed to avenge every
murder of Union mau by tho death
of nine leading Rebels. We do not
believe that so infamous a PROPOSE
tion will be for a moment entertained.
If courts afford no redress we must
call upon the army. Trouble, We
fear, is imminent, but will soon be
over, The Democracy of the North
are calling out TO their rampant
