Reer not Nonrishinr.

Much has been said in favor Of beer
as a beverage, on account Of the nutri-
ment which it contains, but this claim
is not sustained by facts. One of the
most emiRent living chemists, Profess
sOr Liebeg, tells us that /, ,460 quarts
of best Bavaria beer contains exactly
the nOurishment of a-twO-and ahalf-
pound loaf of bread! This beer is very
similar to the famous English ALI
5Opp's, and our more popular Ameri-
can beer. The fact is, the nutritious
portion of the grain is rOtted before
beer can be made; and if the fermenta-
ton Of the beer has been complete,
Prof. Lyon Playfair declares that no
nourishment whatever remains in the
fermented liquor; and, as the English
Alliance News says, "NO chemist now
disputes these assertions; for. except
in flavor and amount Of alcohol, the
chemical composition Of all kinds Of
beer is alike, and brewers must laugh
to hear doctors advising porter as
more nOurishing than beer, when pOr-
ter is nothing but beer cOlOred by
burnt malt; and often when beer goes
wrong in the making, and is unsala-
bic as beer, it is converted into fine
porter, the mere coloring covering
many defects!'-T -TThe Nation,

The Dan OF tIae Kn.IkInz Kan.

The Oath Of the Ku=IkIux Khan.
Phe oath which we give below
shows the character of this Ku-KIux
Klan. 1t is q secret organization,
embracing almost every rebel in the
South. Men, who having been
whipped in a fair fight, are too cow
ardly to again take up arms against
the Government, and so bya system
of terrorism and assassination, pro-
pose to accomplish their reasonable
and hellish purposes, To be at peace
with murdey, is to be an accomplice
in it. This grand army of assassins
must be destroyed. Ku-Klux Klap-
ism must be stamped out. Can the
authorities trife with men who have
registered an oath like this?
"Here in the presence of this skull
and the members here assembled, 1
solemnly swear to be true to the or
der, to its members Individually and
collectively, and should | ever, by
sign, word or deed, betray secret,
or a member Of the Brotherhood, that
the skull upon which I now look may
be counterpart of mine, and hope
that all the social relations which /
now enjoy may be sundered; that hon
esty in the men or virtue in the fe-
males may not be known in my fami-
" and generation, and that all who
own my name shall be branded as dogs
and harlOts. l further swear to Obey
the orders Of the Grand
Cyclnps, regularly issued through his
Council, and as soon as L receive an
order to fulfill it. l again swear that,
should u member of this order be in
danger, that, even at the risk Of my
life, l will defend and endeavor 10
save him. That l will give no out
ward sign or hint that a person may
know of the existence OF the K. K.
K, unless authorized by the Grand
CyclOps, and that each member of
this order, as soon as the sign is Civ
en-, ! will recognize, defend and pro-
tect as a brother
II further swear that I will, under
and in all circumstances, bear true
allegiance to the South and her in
terests, as interpreted by the Supreme
CyclOpean Council, and when [ re-
ceive its orders, should l be even in
the embraces of my wife, L will leave
her to obey them. | further swear
that all Radicals and negroes who
have placed themselves opposite to
the interest of the owners of the soil
of Tennessee, shall forever be my enc
mics, and that under no circum-
stances will have other connection
with them, if can help it, than to
''welc0me them with hluody hands to
hospitable graves" That my family
and the family of a Radical shall new
er interchange visits. Aud l further
pray that the God of the Southland,
whom I invoke, shall strike me dead
should ever, either in letter or spirit,
infringe upon the things set forth in
this oath. 70 all of which 1 swear
in honesty of heart and sincerity
of purpose. So help me God"

The Indianapolis Commercial gives
this excellent answer to the ordinary
Democratic argument "The vote of
negro is no more an Infringement
upon the rights of a white man, than
the possession of a house and lot by a
hard working colOred man is an in
fringement upOnthe property rights of
a lazy lOafer, who does not earn his
daily bread, let alone acquiring houses
and lands. No mans rights are an
other mans wrongs, and the sooner
the practice of the government rec
ognizes this fact, the better it will be
for the country"

Gen. Butler tells the following good
story: While he was in command in
New Orleans, a native Lou 'sianian
was observed one day by a wag, read
ing a staring placard on a wall IN a
public street, "BIy gO1E' shirts at
MOody's." The reader inqu'r. d Of the
wag what that meant ooh ~ said
the joker in a solemn tone; "that is
one of the edicts of the tyrann cal
Butler" The LOuisianian remarked,
"But, don't want any shirts.'
"Well, said the wag; "yOu'd better
buy few. 1t is the safcst course to
comply with the order, for Butler is a
perfect despOt, you know So the
frightened creole sought Moody, and
bought a quarter dozen shirts, In due
time, a Paris paper arrived at New
Orleans, in which the facts were mar
rated, as proving that Butler was both
tyrannical and mean ; using his power
to compel citizens to buy shirts of one
Moody, who was undoubtedly his
partner

DisfFanchisement Of Soldiers.
The Ohio Senate in the darkness Of
the night, passed by party vote the
third measure in the trinity of dis
franchising bills agreed upon in the
secret councils of the Democratic eau
Gus. The hour for so mean a deed Of
robbery was well chosen, at near mid
night, on Friday. The robbery of
MANNED and crippled men, suffering
from wounds incurred in the front Of
battle, was the object sought a taking
of that which was dearer to these vet
Grams than money their rights as cit
liens to voice in the Government
they have periled their lives to defend
So far as the Senate is cOncerned-and
the House will concur, if it has not al
ready done sO-the veteran inmates
Of the eSOldier's Home are disfranchised.
Of course, protest is vain now. For
twenty months the people Of Ohio
must bear the shame of this infamous
robbery of her volunteer defenders.
For that length of time and no longer,
we are to be pointed at as a people
who rob our gallant soldiers Of the
birthright of freemen. The lesson is
costly one to the people of Ohio, but
it was, perhaps, needed to show, for
all coming time, that the Democratic
party is the same heartless, sOuIless,
reasonable organization in Ohio as it
was during the war, and now remains
in Kentucky and Alabama. Those
who, for the sake Of change, or influ-
eneed by undue prejudice, cast their
ballots last October for Democratic
candidates for the Legislature, can
now see whittier the Bourbon reaction
lists would take Us. They have passed
one enfranchising bill this session,
hoping to swell the Democratic vote
by removing the disabilities heretofore
fixed upon army deserters-they have
passed three disfranrhi5ing bills, hop
ing to deprive the Republicans of the
votes they prescribe. This last blow
is aimed at men whom Democrats have
never forgotten or forgiven for fighting
their Democratic friends, the rebels in
the South, and faIsifying the declara-
ton made at Chicago that the war
was a failure. And yet this is the
party that has been fond of claiming
Of late that the soldiers voted the

Mr.. Lynch, of Maine has pending

for gradually resuming specie pay
ments. Briefly stated, it consists in
issuing from the Treasury coupon

of denominations of S1O0 and upward,
bearing interest at four per cent, pay
able quarterly in lawful money, and
making these and greenbacks recip-
FOeally convertible into each other at
the pleasure Of the holder s after the
first of May next, al United States
Legal tender notes received BY the
United States, say S18O,0O0,0O0 per
year, or $15, 900, 600 per month, are to
be retired and destroyed, and in their
stead notes payable one year from
date, in coin, are to be issued to all
creditors to whom legal tenders have
hetOfore been paid. By the first Of
May, 1869, S180,0000O0 in coin notes
would have taken the place of the
present greenbacks, having been paid
out for salaries, Government contracts,
currency interest, and all expenses Of
the government. These notes will
come due at the rate of half million
of dollars day during the year 1863,
and are to be redeemed in gold. BY
the same operation for 1869
and 1870, the whole issue Of green-
backs now outstanding would have
been converted into demand notes
and would be redeemable in gold by
May 1, 1872. Mr.. Lynch says that
he firmly believes that the presenta-
ti0n and redemption of the first SIS.
900, 900 Of these notes would so estah-
lish public confidence as to reduce the
premium on gold to a nominal figure.
The difference between the plan aid
that of immediate resumption is that
it limits the amount of notes which
can be presented to the Government
for redemption to half million of dol
lars per day, after one year from the
lst of May next. As our gold receipts
from customs amount to about one
third ola million a day, it is thought
that so gradual a run on the Treasury
for its gold could be successfully met
until the public confidence had so far
improved as to reduce the premium
on gold to nominal figure, when spp-
Gle payment would be resumed by the
banks and the people voluntarily.
Mr.. Lynch's plan is one Of the most
thoughtful of the grandual plans Of re-
sumption yet advanced,

South Carolina Besurreeted.

Yes, South Carolina, buried for
more than thirty years under a load Of
sIOth, slavery, and the most eontenpti-
ble of aristOcracies, has been resurrected
by the blast of the great trumpet of
Liberty; and now she stands adorned
for the first time in the radiant gar
ments of pure Republicanism. She
never was an honest member of the
American Onion. Though bOasting
of some of the "holy places" of the
Revolution, her pratice has been a con-
slant protest against genuine freedom,
and her public men have ruled and
lived as if they hated the institutions
that protected them, and the people of
all the other STATES. Ifever any com
munity "hung on the verge Of the
Government" it was South Carolina.
Wonderfully significant is her res
direction. The first State to preach
the hated drOctrine Of notification in
1882, and she was the first TO proclaim
secession in 1850, and to reiterate it in
1860; the first to secede from the
Union in 1861, and the first to fire on
the old flag at the beginning of the
rebellion.
Let US rejoice and thank God for
this perfect and peaceful reVOlutiOn.
1t is compensation for many wrongs
and sorrows. Set apart as the practi-
cal commencement of the great reac-
tiOn against treason, it seems that re-
construction, delayed in all other
States, could only really be vigorously
initiated from the grave of the able
and dangerous man whose hateful
theories gave life and license to an Or
ganized rebelliOn.-[St. Joseph Her

The Students OfOhiO Wesleyan
University on the Students
Voting Law.
The following resolutions have
been adopted by the students of the
Ohio Wesleyan University
WHEREAS, The Ohio Legislature
has passed bin, the object of which
is to prevent students from exercising
the right of suffrage while attending
institutions Of learning, except upon
certain almost impracticable condi-
tions, which would deprive the stu
dents of our State of such voting adj
vantages as they have long enjoyed,
and which advantages wore estab-
lished for the accommodation of stu
dents, according to the ordinary
provisions for transient voters; there
fore, be it
BeSolUed That we, the students of
the Ohio Wesleyan University, regard
this bin as a great injustice to college
students, a gross insult to intellectual
culture, a palpabie violation Of the
fundamental principles of all good
government, and as being, to eRlight-
ened humanity, execrable, painful,
humiliating and too contemplate to
contemplate
ResOtged, That we utterly abhOr
the malignity of its purpose, the
shamefulness of its provisions, and
the infamous spirit that charactsrizes
the whole scheme,
ReSOLUed, That this bill is express
sive Of the acknowledged fact, that
college students as a body, are not
known to vote with the present dOmi-
nant party In the Legislature, and
that institutions of learning are an
tagonistic to the principles and teach
ings Of that party.
ResOlUed, That we pledge ourselves
to an unfalteTing adherence to those
principles which have heretofore sus-
tanned the good credit of our State,
and which principles must still be
followed in order to carry Us safely
through the perils into which the
unhappy results Of our last election
have plunged US,
BesolOed, That we express our
heartfelt thanks for the unswerving
fidelity of those who strenuously op-
posed said act and that these resolu-
tions be published in the Western
.Collegian, the Cincinnati, Columbus
and Cleveland papers, and also be
sent to the principal county papers
throughout the State, with request
for their publication.
