The Ku-Klux Democracy Again in
the Field.

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 4.
A man named McAdams was taken
out of store at Chapel Hill, Marshal
county, Tennessee, last Monday, by a
company of men disguised as Ku-
Klux, carriade to Duck river bridge.
some four miles distant, and, as IS
supposed, murdered. Many persons
saw the unfortunate man dragged away
By the disguised monsters, and went
In pursuit Of him. Next morning they
found on the bridge a quantity of hair,
Unidentified as belonging to him, and
which appears to have been shaved
from his head. It is supposed that,
after suffering many indignities, he was
thrown into the river and drowned.
MsAdams was a dentist, very respec-
table citizen, and had wife and three

Letter from Sumner On the Removal
of Political Disabilities.

Charleston, June 3.
The following letter has been re-
eeived by a gentleman in Columbia this
State
DEAR SRI have received your
letter IN reference to the removal of
your political disabilities. I am not
sure that the time has yet come to
make exceptions to our policy in ad-
verse cases. To do so would bs to open
the door to innumerable applications,
and, once open, it would be difficult to
shut it. hope to meet such cases as
yours by some general enactment, and,
as soon as the condition of the country
will permit, I shall be the first to ad
voeate the removal of all disabilities
under which you labor at present.
Yours truly,
CHARLES SUMNER"

The Soldiers Disfanohisomont Bill.

If you have enlisted in your eountry's
service, and shoUldered your musket
and marched in front of your country
enemies, ana by them have been shot
down and crippled to the extent Of be-
ing unable to earn your living, and are
sent from a remote corner Of the State
&c the Soldiers Home at Dayton, the
inhuman democratic Legislature of
this State, by a law they passed, say
you must hObble back to the place
from which you came to vote, or be
disfranchised, when the rebel, who.
perhaps, shot you, who has lived in
the State one year, and In Dayton 30
days, walks up side by side with Mr..
Yallandigham and is allowed to vote.
How do you like this kind of democrat
ic legislation for Soldiers ? Is not
that exactly the kind of legislation
that JEFF Davis and his rebel hosts
heartily approve of? Could they have
asked more of their butternut friends
in the Ohio Legislature q? Now, it is
just this kind of men the so-caIled
democratic party will ask you to vote
for this Fall.-Will you do it?-Fayette

Gen. Stephen Van Rensselaer,, who
died on Monday In the eightieth year
Of his age, was the only son of Stephen
Van Rensselaer,, the "Old PATRON" of
Albany, by his first wife, who was a
daughter of General Schuyler of Rev
olutionary fame. Alexander HamiI-
ton, who was his uncle by marriage
with another daughter of Gen. Schuy-
leT's, drew up the leases on which the
manor of RensselaerWyck was rented.
The manor extended tWenty-four
miles east and west. The deceased
succeeded to the western half of the
manor, the eastern half being left to
William p. Van Rensselaer,, the first
born of the Old Patroon's second wife
Miss Patterson, ofNeW Jersey. Mrs.
Nathaniel Thayer, of Boston, is a
daughter Of the deceased.

THE DIFFERENCE.-Som of the Dem
ocratic editors, with their usual aptnesa
for Justification, are endeaVoring to ex-
cuse the unparalleled length of the last
session Of the Legislature and its great
expense to the State by saying that
Congress has prolonged its session in q
like manner and with like expense.
OF course there can be no comparison
between Congress and the Legislature
in this respect. Congressman get a fixed
salary, and it don't make any difference
in their wages if they sit the year round.
But the members of the legislature get
five dollars per day, and as the present
legislature has made much the longest
session ever made in time of peace, at
an expense of at least $1,000 pr day, the
people hold them to a rigid accountable
ity for their waste of time and money.

the young men to take hold Of, but the

The bill for the restoration Of Arkan-
sas to her practical relations to the I'm
ion has passed both Houses Of Congress
and has been sent to the Presidens for
his signature. The Democratic mem
bers manifested their intense desire for
the restoration Of the Union by flibus-
tering the bill and delaying It's passage
to the latest possible moment. Ifit had
been proposed to bring back Arkansas
upon a basis that would have placed
her back in the control Of the implaca-
bic rebel element these patriots would
have made no oppositiOn.

Mr.. WADE.-Agate in letter to
the Cincinnati Gaz cite, says:
Shortly after last falls election Gen.
Garfield said to Senator Wade, that
the people of Ohio regretted to see a
temporary reverse have the effect of
withdrawing him from public life, and
that as his name had been mentioned
in connection with Congress, he (Gar-
fed would at once give away if Wade
would consent to run in the Nineteenth
District. Wade expressed warm ap-
probation of the generous offer, bat
said nothing could induce him to ac-
cept it. After Wade's defeat at Chi

Wade again declined it.
