THE KU-KLUx-KLAN IN AcTIoN-We have
anticipated that the incendary teachings OF
our Democratic neighbor would inflame the
ignorant and brutal prejudices of the lower or
der of Copperheads in this city until they be-
came sufficiently valorous to attack Republi-
can professions, if they could find sufficient
shelter behind houses and in dark corners to
make it entirely safe. No pains has been spar
ed to excite the mob up to the niger killing
pitch, and to infuse into it the ultra Southern
spirit. Accordingly, while the great process
sion was passing through Cumberland street
last evening the colored people were attacked
with stones, and man named Ruby was quite
severely injured, his head having been wound
ed by some sort of missile so that he was
obliged to leave the procession.
These friends" of Seymour, Pillsbury and
Shaw are very valiant soldiers in time of peace
In the evening, well sheltered, they just as lief
throw stones as not.

DROWNED. We learn from the PASSPORT
Sentinel that Thomas Glaufin, deck hand
on the steamer New England, was drowned at
st. John on Saturday night last. He was a
man Of middle age, and native of ireland,
where he has wife. About twelve O'Clock
Saturday night, he came to the wharf where
the steamer was lying and attempted to get
aboard; as he stepped upon the plank leading
from the wharf to the boat, one end of it fell,
throwing him into the water. The noise and
splashing in the water was heard on board the
steamer, and Mr.. Michael White, one of the
firemen, rushed out, and comprehending the
situation at glance, jumped overheard to
rescue the man; but as soon as he had reach
ed him, McGluaflin held him so tightly and in
such manner, that he was scarcely able to
move, and unable to render any assistance
whatever, being in great danger of drowning
himself With great exertion he freed himself
from the desperate clutch Of the man, who
sank at once. His body was found at nine
o'clock next morning sras's .s.s-.a

The 'THEArRE.-Bulwer's celebrated play,
the Lady of Lyons, was brought out last eve
ming at Deering Hall in fine style. There was
good audience, much larger than was ex-
pected, as there were SO many attractions in
the streets The parts were admirably cast,
and Miss Goodrich as Pauline made a very fa-
vorable impression, and Mr.. Rand as Claude
Melnotte acted his part to the entire satisfac-
ton of the audience. All the parts were well
sustained, and this well written and fine act
ing play went off in grand style. With such
plays and such acting we think the Theatre

think, by terming General Grant the "Great

The soldiers of Maine will be apt to remember
the insult on election day. The butcher boys
of Maine made terrible smashing among the
Rebels during the war. They will therefore be

''"'- IF IT Is NOT LYING, WHAT Is IT?
The Portsmouth Times said that Hon. John
Lynch recently purchased certain wharf prop
erty, aohich the Custom House must haze, and
that he now seeks reelection in order that he
may engineer through the Congress bill dp-
propriating 100000 for ats purchase.

John Lynch replied stating that
LIST. He purchased the wharf property ff-
teen years ago, long before he dreamed of going
to Congress-
I'd. 1t is not necessary for the Custom House
to have that property.

vance on the $4,000 Tor which he purchased it
fifteen years ago.

making an appropriation for the purpose sug-

S1OO,OO0,000," when Johnson's trial did not
cost SIG 900 dollars?
1t will be seen that the Democrats have APP

with Lee, Beauregard and A. Fl. Stevens in
