K,t Ktu.o il. tie legislature.

e.
The time OF The Senate on Saturday, was
taken up in reconsideliug the action OF that
DOdy, mad several aay 5 since, on the " Bill
for the suppression OF the ku kluX." Al
most every one of the really Objectionable
or Illegal features OF tho Oul were stricken
out, VIZ: tue section declaring tho Ku
Klux outlaws, and giving any ono tue rgnt
10 shoot them down anywhere. The sec.
tion allowing Prosecuting Attorney alone
tU make out all indIclms was amended
so as 10 require the assent OF Grand Jury.
The section allowing the Prosecuting At
tOrney 500 in each case Mas amenOed so
as 10 reneye bO.h The State aud county
from the payment Of IL. The Til does not
say VINO is tU pay Il. Tie section allowing
the Governor 10 appoint detectives 10 uuut
for ku kluX and allowing Il reward ol 500
Ia UaCh case, was entirely stricken out
The section punlshlpg any one VINO should
hafDor person charged with being a Ku.
KiuN, was amended 80 that such haIbUrers
are only 10 be punished when they act vol
unfairly, and, excepting that parents are
not liable to punishment Tor harbOing their
sons. Tue section which provided that II
any jury IA this State suall acquIJ any per-
son indicted under the provisions OF lhi,
act Tor any criminal Otlense against tue
laws Of TINS State, and the court shall be OF
tue opinion tho defendant was guilty of the
commission OF said oilense, it Is hereby de-
clared to be the duty OF said court 10 tax
the costs Of the State GU said defendant,
was also stricken out.
AS tho bill now stands we believe it to
be In conformity with the Constitution and
laws OF the State, Tor tho suppression Of
diSordeTly characters. Every cluzen must
rejoice al tue manner 10 witch the Senate
has acted both Ia regard 70 this bill aud
the militia Till. II the House will only act
With the same wisdom, We hope TO see the
bloodthrstness OF Gov. BrOwulow checked
at every point, and an era Of reason aud
sobrlety once more prevail in the gOyern-
aoat Of the State.-P Press d Herald.

can gather from the European i'urna aud
the correspondence OF the papers OF other
countries, is in a dangerous and deplorable

cludes the possibility Of bis doing any official
work, and King William misses his assist
auce sadly. Tho Count is actually 50 III

ALLEGED kU.KLUX OUTRAGEs IN Tn
NEssEE.-The minority of the committee Of
the Tennessee Legislature to whom was re-
ferred that portion of Gov. Browlow's mes
sage, relating to Ku-Klux organizations
and their alleged outrages, have reported
at immense length, making some wholesale
statements, aud alleging that over one hun.
dred and eighty murders have been com
mtted within six mouths, making an aver
age Of one a day; that houses have been
burned, and that Union men have been
forced to fec for their lives, and dare not
return to their homes, unless some action
looking 70 their | otection is taken by the
State Legislature. The report is decided
ly sensational. 1t says that the number of
0utrages that have been perpetrsted in ma
ny counties of Middle and West Tennessee
during the past few months, have been so
numerous and Of such an aggravated charac-
ter as almost battles investigation. In these
counties, it is alleged, perfect reign Of
terror exists.
A large amount of testimony is submit.
ted by the committee, and they close by
urging that the Governor should be invest
ed with full power to call out such mill
tary force as may be required to secure
obedience to the laws, and say that if such
a force shall be necessary, the responsible
ty will rest upon those who have violated
the b.ws ana refuse obedience to the con-
stituted authorities of the State.
The statements are similar to the repre-
sentatiors made by Governor Yarmouth,
Of Louisiaus, some weeks ago, and evident.
ly with the same intention. IL there are so
many murders as represented, it does not
seem by any means that radicalsm is free
from them, for the majority, and some of
the most horrible that are noticed from time
to time in the papers, are by negroes, un-
der the mischieyous and disorganizing in
fiuences OF radical desperation in the un-
States Of the South. The meiori-
ty Of the Tennessee committee join in no
such representations, and do not believe it
necessary to call out any militil.-Baltimore

CoSTUNE.-Mrs Cady Stanton had a chat
whith the Cinnamon while they we're visit
ing Mr.. Seward, at Auburn. The excel.
lent and aggressive champion of womau's
rights was iAvorably impressed with the in.
telligence aud general knowingness of
ChicA-T Tegln, to whom her remarks were
principally addressed, and of whose appear
ance She gives pleasant description. Ihe
Chinese, she says, have been much pleased
with the dancing aud waltzng they have
seen in this country, and ia watching the
waltz, Chinch thought great many privcl-
eges, such as feet for girls, are allowed to
young people in this country. But this very
amiable lady was especially enraPtured Of
the GLOWING robes" with which the Celes-
tials clothe themselves. She thinks il
would be far better II our Legislators, Instead
Of passing laws Tor what women may or may
not wear, "wOuld for0d the hfurcated gar
meut to all baBdy-loggod men" ''Tho Chi
nese costume" she remarks, "wOuld not
only be more artistic, but would conceal all
pedal deiormities." Mrs. Stanton apears
to be in favor Of abO!iShing pauialoous and
monkey jackets, as she Is IN in favor of
sending women TO Congress aud the Legis
latures. Ii may come 10 this at last, but
possibly compromise may 10 effected -
The ladies might be induced 10 spare us our
pantaloons, even though they take our priv
ileleges. / you insist, dear ladies, In manag
ing uur politics, We may have 20 submit, but
for heavens sake, do not compel us to take
your petucoats

Exclusion OF THE GEORGIA CoLoRED
LEGISLATORS We said few days ago that
we regarded the action of the Georgia Leg
islature in expelling the negro members
from its body at this critical moment in our
affairs, though entirely right in itself, as a
piece of recklessuess or folly that is iDeXcn-
sable, and instigated, no doubt, by the Radi-
Gals themselves. These views of ours are
now fully confirmed by the most reliable
authority, and disputed by none. The
Washington correspondent Of the Baltimore
Gazette thus discloses the whole natter
Lyachbmg Republican.
"The action Of the Georgia House of
Delegates in excluding negroes from that
body on the ground OF iueligibility has pro,
duced no surprise here, as it was known
here in advance that the movement would
be made under the dictation of the Radical
committee of Congressman, who consider
that such action would be trump card in
the Northern canvass, as showing the X di-
cal party was not favorable to negro equality.
1t required good deal of backing and ill-
ing before the carpet bacgers OF Georgia
could be induced u move ia the matter, as
they protessed to see in it nothing but their
own political overthrow. In resisting the
proposition they urged that the negroes
would easily understand that they were
being used merely as tools and would turn
from them in disgust and join the Damoc-
racy. This loss, however, was regarded
Insignificant when compared TO the great
adv antnge arising TO the Radical party in
the North to be able to demonstrate TO the
masses that the Democratic speakers lied
when they charged their opponents with
favoriDg negro equality. This is the key to
tho action OF the Georgia Legislature, and
the Radical wire-wotkers are chucklug over
il as one OF the smarteSt tricks of the can
yaSs. How will their colored allies relish
itl"
1t thus appears to have been a concerted
Radical uick, halched at Washington to
carry the Northern elections, and the Con-
servative birds Of the Georgia Legislature
we're so blind as to be led into the net
Well, when grown people have not sense
enough TO take care Of themselves, they
don't deserve to be taken care of by others.

Pieces of corn are being much injured

seem to combine in themselves two of

SUMNER TRAVEL-The arrivals at the

a greater number Of guests than Tor any
previous week Of the season, and mine
host" Buck is reaping a fine harvest
This has proved the best season ever known,
travel commencing earlier and continuing
more steadily. Friend Buck deserves this
success for he knows how to keep a hOJel,
and Fabvan is'nt far behind. Among the
guests we noticed Judge Nelson Of the Su-
preme Court of the United States, who
looks every inch the Judge. No doubt the
new steamer, Lady Of the Lake, has con
! tributed much towards the increase Of tray
| ell People have predicted that this boat
will never pay the expenses Of running
we are foolish enough to "bet our pile
that she will pay for herself and all ex-
penses of running besides in the next sil
wears. No resident Of Orleans count!

of riding on this boat, and enjoying on
