A cu11p CARRIED AWAY BY AN EAGLE.

A CHILD CARRIED AWAY BY AN EAGLE
The Quincy (Illinois) Herald says
"Ono of the most startling events that
has disturbed the cafmness of our citizens
occurred on April 10. A lady with her
babe had been walking near the river,
and for somo cause the child was left
alone for few moments, in which time
an eaglo, which had been observed, but
not dreamed Of as dangerous, screcching,
boro away the babe. The mother rushed
toward the child. but too lato to prevent
the eagle from carrying it of. The anx-
ious crowd watched its course till it was
lost to sight Two men Immediately start
cd in skitf across the river in the direc-
ton of its track, but Of course they were
unable to follow itany distance, and moth
ing has since been heard of tho miami II ian
thus taken away in the morning OF me- m
and it's fato is cnshroudcd in myssory !: !,
We were unable to learn tho name OF Ine .
mother or her history, but her mental
condition can bo imagined. Those VINO
saw saSi the eagle say it was of the gray spe-
cies.'

TREASON in TIE CAMP.-Ths Charles:
ton correspondent Of Forney's Washing
ton Chronicle is very unhappy about the
"disloyalty" prevalent in Charleston,
which he indignantly tells us has even
contaminated the army officers stationed
there. lie says:
All are not loyal men that wear the
uniform of American soldiers even. Good:
dinners, champagne suppers,, "mock-tur.
tie soup, frequent whiskey treats, are all
that is necessary to cover up the ailegi:
ance of shoulder.strapped pensioners OF
the republic. Southern air, hospitality,
and women are too frequently disastrous
TO the sentiments of devotion which the
liyeried servants of the nation are sup
posed to bear. c.3s ~. ~ ,5ie1
This is shocking; but still more horri-
bic is the discovery which he narratcs as
follows:
The Ku Klux Klan have established
their "dons," and are meeting on the
"S5th'' hour to conjure up their devlllsh
work and issue forth their cabalIstlc cards
of blood What they cannot accomplish
on the field in the forum, by argument
or sense, they propose to achieve by DARK
deeds OF strategy, stealth and assassina-
tion. Their midnight cabals doom the
man that dares defend his country. The
Grand Tycoon summons the hellish horde
to the knife, torch and bludgeon. and
death is the verdict of their "low-twelve"
mutterings. .efrs5

indiscreet of speech; but this, too, will
give very little support to the ease tor
impeachment. Nobody can deny that
Mr.. Jobnson's conduct has fallen short OF
the dignity Of his place. but we are bound
to add that, upon the whole, it has been
as becoming and as polite as those who
placed him in Office by their votes were
entitled to anticipate. Taking his official
career from first to last, he has certainly
exceeded the expectations which were
formed of him., 1t, not for US to beg the
deciding between the claims
of Republican and Democratic principles,
but cvcn if it be assumed that the policy
pursued by Congress was right, and that
advocated by the President wrong, there
was no reason on this ground for putting
the President on his trial. Congress had
its own way, though with little opposi-
ton. It was thwarted, but it could not
be controlled. The President, as mat
ter of fact, did not succeed in removing
Mr.. Stanton, nor could lie enforce hisow
views on the reconstruction of the South
Tt cannot be pleaded that there was any
necessity for depriving him of the power
to do evil. He vetoed the measures OF
Congress, but Congress passed them again
over his veto, and the actual,policy OF the
United States was not Democratic, but
Republican. Congress had the upper
hand, and might have been content with
its power. It twonld be better, of course,
that the Executive and Legislature should
be in harmony with each other, instead
of contending in daily conflict, but such
differences are the natural incidents OF
political freedom.

= Nature and history .curiously ap-
proved each others records in the case OF
an old elm tree, cut down in Boston the
other day. The town record shows thas
tho elm was planted by vote OF the town to ll
of Boston in the year l733-that lis, l3S4
years ago; and the annual layers or rings
of the tree, which were plainly visible
after it's trunk had been severed were
counted to the number of 1334, thus eX-
actly corresponding with the date at
which it was planted. It appears that
some of the incidents of history are trust
worthy.

lumbia Picnic says:
1t may be of some little interest to the
people of our State to know what propors
ton of the burden of taxation is borne
by their ''so-called" representatives in the
late Convention and the recently elected
Legislature. 1t will certainly 60 far to
soothe the feelings of the outraged tax
payers, that these gentlemen have con-
tributed so literally to the funds of our
impoverished State, which their late Ia.
bors in the Convention compelled them to-.
deplete with such patriotic spirit. 80 q
The following statement exhibits: an
analysis of the taxes paid by the mem.
bers of the Convention and Of the Legis-
lature recently elected, according to the
tax returns in the Comptroller's Office: ?
The total amount paid by the. membersof
the Legislature, $700.63; of this amount,
six members pay, S39l.62; leaving bal
ance paid by all other members, $3O0.Ol.
Executions for $140.76 of this balance
have been issued, and we have not been
able to ascertain whether or not they are
paid. The total amount paid by the
members of the Constitutional Conven-.
ton, S87954; of this amount one men,
ber "a Conservative paid s5O8.85; and
three members paid s210.5O-s7l9.35 (;
balance paid by all other members, $780,
10. Executions for ST 65 of this balance
have been lodged, and we are unable to
say whether they are paid or not. Al
lowing that these executions are unpaid,
and it is reasonable thus to suppose, the
amount of taxes paid by 12O smen of the
Convention for one year is S84.24. These
12O received for sixty days service at
the Convention, $4,000. Estimating
their contributions to the public treasury
by this return, it will take them 955 years;
to repay the State the sum they abstract
ed from her for sixty days service This
is exclusive of mileage-which wonld: in-4
crease the amount paid to the Conven-
tionists 20 moro than 100000. q

GEoRo1A.-A special dispatch from At
lanta to the New York Tribune states
$4,000 whites voted the Republican ticket
at the late election in Georgia. In the
same dispatch it is conceded that some
$4,000 negroes voted with the Democrats.
Now, the majority for Bullock is be-
tween six ahd eight thousand. The reg
istration list shows that lherc are more
white than colored votors in tho State.
If therefore, the Republican ticket re-
ceived over A 900 white votes, it follows
necessarily that nearly 10000 negroes
cast Democratic votes.
This is decidedly sorry showing for
the Radicals, whose programme was Iaid
down upon the assumption that they llad
a sure thing with the freedmen. Neariy
10000 white men in Georgia were dls,
fianchised by the reconstruction acts' anu
did not vote at tho recent election. bue
benceforth there will be no restriction
mon them in this regard, and it may be
raasonably presumed that all. or nearly
oll of them will vote with the Democrats
This will give the State to the Democratic
party by from thirty to forty thousand.
Should Geoagia he admitted into the
Union under this reconstructed constitu-
ton, we venture the prediction that the
Democratic majority in chat State at the
ensuing Presidential election will be
greater than the Republican majority

GEonG1A AND GENERAL HA"cocK.-Thc
Boston Post says: '.The name Of Hancock
is the favorite one in tile South among
Democrats and Conseryatives-who de-
sire only the complete reinstatement OF
the Union-as candidate for the. Presi-
dency. With Georgia holding practically
the balance of political power in that sec
ton. and the section itself capable OF de-
Gliding tho issue between the Two parties
in the North, it may turn out that the
single State of Georgia, on which Radi-
calism has been trying to force an .obnox-
ious Constitution, will be the final arbiter
of the political contest. amy rate, the
state of the vote in the South makes it
apparent that the preference of its people
for Presidential candidate deserves care
iul regard from the rest of the country.
That the name OF Gen. Hancock should
be the favcrite one with them, when his
distinction as Union commander is
equally clear in their sight, with his
ability as a Unisn statesman, is the high
est satisfaction they can give that they
are anxiously waiting for the restoration
of the Federal Union nundcr the authority
of the Constitution With majority of
the Northern votes for the Democratic
and Conservative candidate, and a similar
majority of those of the South for General
Hancock, it requires but slight perception
to discover who the candidate is that may
be constitutionally elected President next
November"

AN EPISODE IN THE HISTORY OF Gen.
BUTLER.-WheH in New Orleans Butler
was passing, at the lead of some troops,
the residence Ola very respectable young
lady, who, with some lady friends, were
enjoying the cool air Of the balcony. This,
young lady, whose namc we omit for
reason that WILSON appear, was one of
thoseimpulsive, light-hearted. joyous cre;',
lures, whose life is made up OF smiles and
more demonstrative outbursts OF JOY. Just
as Butler himself was opposite. some re-
mark was made, or something visible to
the eye OF mirth provoking character,
caused her to break out in a ringing laugh.
Butler stopped short his horse, and look
inrup said, in his ROACH end rcpulsive
style: "NVhat are you laughing at y Sur
prised at the question, and lnsnlted BY the
manner in which it was asked, the young
lady instantly ceased her laugh, but made
no response Butler turned away, but
had proceeded but q short distance. when
the same clear ringing laugh again met
his ear, and turning again, he with stu
more brutal insolcncc demanded: ".l oung
woman, what are YOU laughlng at ?'-
There was no mistaking his meaning this
time, and the hot blood of the sunny
South flushed to tho cheek Of the maiden
as she scornlulIy replied, "None of your
business, sir'' Butler, with q threatening
gesture, but without reply. rode away.
An hour or two after this a file of soldiers
appeared at tEe residence of the young
lady with an order for her arrest. She
was torn from the bosom of her family,
taken to the military prison or guard
house, and there kept confined nntll the
men. in whose society. she was thrown.
either as keepers or tcllow-prisoneis, ac-
complished her ruin.
These facts can be substantiatcd by
parties now residing at Kendall, Orleans
county, New York, or by DR.. McLane, or
wife, and others OF New Orleans, the lat
ter having witnessed the transaction re-
lated above, from the opposite side of the
street.-Detrot, (.hich) Union, May 5.
