Rip Van Wrinkle Wakes Up.

Rip Van Wrinkle has aroused himself from his
heavy slumbers and has taken to the editorial
chair of the radical organ-in-chief. This is
the way in which, three days after the election
in Connecticut, he advises the President to
stump that State against the republicans
"What noble field of exertion and Of
elocutionary enterprise is at Mis moment pre-
scented in Connecticut. They talk of sending
several Of the old platform hacks Of the party
to stump that State; but the dismal experiences
of those missionaries In New Hampshire would
seem to indicate that If the Connecticut cop
perheads are to be aroused TO successful valor
and victorious exertion II must be by speeches
still more extraordinary than those Of @. @.
Burr or II. G. Dean. The sweet and winning
eloquence of the President, his delicious man
ner and his weghty matter, his ponderous
augmentation and his poetic flights, his powers
of retort and his dexterous employment Of the
personal pronoun might verify persuade q
great many people to believe in the Wilderness
of black and In the identity Of chalk and
cheese! Should democratic victory follow
his exertions the successful side would, in COM
mon gratitude, be Obliged to do something for
him." Three days after the election Rip
ought TO study one of the political almanacs
before he writes on politics.

ton, we understand, will be held in secret;
but full Photographic notes of the proceedings
will be taken, which will in due time be
shown the light Of day. We now hope that the
venerable and conscientious member from
Wayne will push his war against his dishonest
and dishonorable colleagues vigorously and
decisively, SO that the people may ascertain
what sort Of stuff Is necessary to constitute q
first class, influential and intriguing member of
the Legislature Of New York. 1t will be seen

cendiaries.

'How sharper than a serpent's tooth" it
must be to the radical managers that they can
not get general to take charge of any mill
tary district who knows exactly when he ought
to be blind and when he ought to see. Now
here is General Meade-a most provoking per-
son. He did gratifying things at first, and
radicalism was loud in its applause. Scarcely,
however, had the radicals committed them
selves to positive laudations Of the Generals
honest courses than he made report in rela-
ton to the election on the constitution, and
plainly told his sponsors in Washington that
the trouble was little too much niger, and
that If they had been content to require no
more in the constitution than was required in
the reconstruction acts all would have been
well. That was under the fifth rib.
But there is worse place than the fifth rib.
1t is what the French philosophers call the
vital knot; and General Meade has just put
forth proclamation that lays violent hands
on this delicate thing. He says:-'.All public
writer's and speakers are enjoined to refrain
from inaammatory appeals to the passions and
prejudices of the people," Now, this will abso-
lutely shut up every orator that the republican
party has in its pay in General Meade's dis
trict General Meade also practically orders
the suppression of an organization whose
object is to "affect the results of pending
elections in this district" This means the
Loyal League clubs. Il has been stated that
this order was aimed at the Ku Klux Khan;
but this is evidently wrong, as 1t 80 distinctly
describes the evil courses of radical agitation.
General Meade is too intelligent man not to
have known what he was proclaiming.

The Erie Railroad In the Legislature.
Some funny resolutions were offered in the
State Senate yesterday and had queer fate.
They seem to have been in the Central Railroad
interest. Allegations were made in the Assem-
bly, recently of corrupt practices in legislation
procured by the Central Railroad men. I'M
mediately a Senator takes the alarm on the
part of virtue and legislation. He presents
his resolutions. These resolutions say that
whereas charges have been made of the cor
ruption of the Legislature in the interest of the
Erie Railroad, therefore committee must in
vestigate the matter, and pending the investi-
cation all legislation in regard to the Erie
road must stand still. But, says a member,
the charges are against the Central road, and
the resolutions are corrected on that point
Then, says another member, as the investiga-
ton is in regard to the Central road, let us
strike out that part which suspends legisla-
ton in regard to the Erie. 1t is accordingly
stricken out. Hereupon the author of the
resolutions, not caring to have the play
without Hamlet in it, moves to lay them on
the table; and so fails an attempt to head of
legislation as to the Erie road under the pre-
tence of virtue. This incident shows what
mere tools of the railroad people our legisla-
tors are, and what stupid tools at that.

The Ku Klux Khan at Wnshington-Forncy's
Fright.

Fright.
According to Forney, the Southern Ku Klux
Khan, that sanguinary and mysterious organiza
ton of alleged ex-rebel bushwhackers, have
opened their dens in Washington and COM
menced the issue of their terrible edicts to
obnoxious radicals, beginning with Ben Wade
and Ben Butler. Fearful, indeed, are these Ku
Klux rescripts, with their cabalistic collins,
death heads and cross-bones and formulas, such
as "Bloody month, cloudy moon. Death!
death to traitors!" "The negro must be eaten
raw; blood and clotted GORE" &c. 1t seems,
however, that none of the radicals in Washing
ton who have received these dismal tickets of
leave have been frightened out of their wits
except Forney. He, however, is very easily
frightened. At one time we find him in cold
sweat over an impending invasion and purga-
ton Of Washington by the gray-coated Mary
land militia at another time he calls upon the
loyal men of America to be wide awake, for
that Andrew johnson is plotting coup d6tat !;
next poor Forney is on the track of a modern Guy
Fawkes, with lot of nitro-glycerine to be used
and the lifting of Stanton out of the War Office,
sky high; next, with warning from Stanton,
"the dead duck" becomes alarmed at the sup
posed designs of Mostly and his guerillas,
reported to be organizing for mischief on the
other side of the Potomac. In fact, until John
son is back again in Tennessee there will be no
safety for Washington, and no peace, according
to Forney, until he is snugly ensconced among
the good things of the kitchen, under Old Ben
Wade in the White House. So, after all,
"there is method in this madness of Forney;
for in keeping up constant fuss he is pretty
sure not to be overlooked in view of ''the good
time coming

Our City Railroad Fares.

There appears to be variety of opinion as
to whether the tax of one-eighth of cent for
every passenger upon the city railroad COM
panies has ceased to be collected by the gov
eminent, If the companies are disposed to
cover their extortionate demand of one cent
upon the plea that this tax is not repealed. 1t
is very easy for the Legislature to settle the
question by holding them strictly to the pro-
visions Of the charter, or permitting the city
government to impose tax Of one cent for
every passenger for the benefit of the treasury.
These franchises are very valuable, and yet
the city does not receive dollar for them.
All the profits 60 to the companies. The mat
ter might be settled in another way-by some
citizen or number of citizens refusing to pay
more than five cents on any of the roads which
are restricted by their charter to that sum, and
thus test the question in the courts. An OPP
portunity to try this issue was afforded on
Wednesday, when gentleman, who refused to
submit to the extortion and rendered the legal
fare on the Sixth avenue cars, was forcibly
elected by the conductor. We understand that
he very properly had the conductor arrested
for assault by policeman whom he was lucky
enough to find willing to do his duty as between
private citizen and q railroad company. Here
is case upon which issue might be made and
the company be taught what their rights are
before the law. Something must be done to
get rid of the extortions of the city railroads.

A WARNING FROM CONGRESS TO JEFF DAVIS
In the bill which has passed the Senate, by a
vote of thirty seven to eight, regulating the
empanelling of juries. This bill makes eligible
as jurors men who may have formed an opinion
on general reports, but who may otherwise
declare themselves in their belief as COM
petent to give an impartial verdict upon the
law and the evidence. The bill is understood
to be aimed to meet the cases of jeff Davis
and Surratt, and in view of juries that will
convict these men. The ex-President of the
late Southern confederacy, therefore, will act
like wise man in keeping outside the juris-
diction of the United States at least until the
day after our coming Presidential election.
The radicals are after jury that will convict
him of treason, and if convicted under Old Ben
Wade there will be no chance for a pardon.

Democracy In South Carelina Now and Then.
The proceedings of the Democratic Conven-
ton held in Columbia, South Carolina, on the
Sd inst, and its address to the colored people
of the State, show great and healthy change
in public sentiment. With the exception OF
very few of the old fre-eaters and 6re-eating
press of the Charleston Mercury stamp, the
people everywhere realize their changed con-
dition and the necessity of broad and liberal
policy towards the negroes. They are adopt
ing, in fact, the policy wisely proposed by
Wade Hampton Immediately after the war
closed. 1t would have been much better for
them had they cheerfully adopted it before,
but, to use a common expression, better late
than never. Old things have passed away,
and the ancient chivalry Of South Carolina
have the good sense to acknowledge it.
Among the resolutions adopted by the Con-
vention we find this sentence 1--WE recognize
the colored population Of the State as an in
tegral element of the body polite, and as such,
in person and property, entitled to full and
equal protection under the State constitution
anu laws; anu tuat dS CltlZcuS VI OOutu OoAO-
lima we declare our willingness, when we have
the power, to grant them, under proper quail
ications as to property and intelligence, the
right of suffrage" What more should be re-
CURED? What more liberal or sensible than
this declaration? Yet our JacObin Congress
refuses to restore these people to their place in
the Union. The address of the Convention to
the colored people and the advice given are in
excellent taste, and show the anxiety of the
superior race and the old master class to i'm
prove and cooperate with their late slaves.
After appealing to the colored people in the
most sensible and eloquent manner the address
concludes with this earnest and honest warn
ing :-''Remember that your race has nothing
to gain and everything to lose if you invoke
that prejudice of race which, since the world
was made, has ever driven the weaker tribe to
the wall Forsake, then, the wicked and stu
pid men who would involve you in this folly,
and make to yourselves friends and not enemies
of the white citizens of South Carolina"
