Ku-Klux Klan.

"Hope springs eternal in the human
breast" and the heart bow ed down with
sorrow naturally seeks to throw off its
load of trouble by turning tosome source
of amusement and diversion. Boccaccio
gives us an illustration of this in one Of
his stories. When Death and Gloom
brooded over every house, the party he
describes-twelve, if we remember right,
of each sex, from the youth, beauty,
wealth and talent of the city, in anticipa-
ton of soon falling victims to the
Plague, agreed to spend their few re.
naming hours of life in feasting dancing
and other amusements.
So during the late war ball, dinner,
the charms of female society, frolic of
any kind was never relished with keener
zest by the brave men in either army,
than when they were momentarily ex-
pecting to be called on to fight their last
battle. Never in the South did the merry
meetings of the Sons of Malta resound
with heartier laughter than when sorrow
sat heavy on the hearts of all, as in the
midst of their mirth the thought recurred
that soon Lee would be forced to surren.
der.
The Ku-Klux Klan grew out of this
disposition of the heart to be merry and
forget its SORROWS Originally il had no
political significance, If it has any now
But Gen. George Il. Thomas, who sees
great good in secret Union Leagues, for
drilling the negroes in the interests of
the e. and r. party-either because
conscience makes cowards," or from
superabundant zeal to aid the impeach-
ers by getting up an excitement-sought
to startle the country, by telegraphlng to
Gen. Grant blood and thunder stories of
the ''inductions dangerous" of the merry
roysterers, the K. X. KS.
This gave the boys q good joke and
many hearty laugh, more than they had
at first contemplated, at the pretended
alarm of Gen. Thomas, and the real
right the General thus communicated to
the credulous negroes. In prosecution
of the joke, the Rome (Ga.) Courier says
that, on recent midnight parade near
that city, the X. K. KS bore a banner
inscribed as follows
" "Thadika Stevika's Radical plan
Must yield to the coming of Ku-Klux Klan.

Railroad Travel.

The fastest train in England is one or
the Great Western Railway (the broad
gauge), which goes every day 1876 miles
with four stoppages, amounting to twenty
minutes, in four and half hours, or al
the rate of 43 miles an hour. The great
est exceptional run ever made in Great
Britain was in 1862, when the answers
were brought to the dispatches sent to
Washington respecting Messrs. Mason
and Slidell The train from Cork to
Dublin ran at the rate of Al mileg an
hour. The mail steamer from Dublin
reached Holyhead at S:l5 in the morn
ing. At s:2S the special train left
London and performed the whole dis
tance in exactly FIVE hours, or at a speed
of ffty.two and three-fourths miles an
hour-a speed unparalleled for SO long
a distance on a line crowded with traffic.
By means of an invention for supplying
the tender with water in trough in
transitu, the engine ran l30 miles
without pulling up to take water. This
is the longest run ever made by any en-
CINE in this country without stopping.
In France the fastest trains do not ex-
ceed "a miles an hour; in Belgium 34} E;

The Usurpation of Wade-Getting Out Of
the Wagon to Walk.

The only and the sole end which in
duces the Radicals in Congress to re-
move the President, and by an act OF
violent usurpation, under color of the
Constitution, to put Ben. Wade in his
place, is to gain, as they suppose, an
additional lease ofpolitlcal power. From
the beginning of the war this has been
the handspring of all their action. All
the atrocities they have perpetrated
against the States and against the indi-
vidual liberty of the citizen, have had
this inspiration.
But in the judgment of many of their
wisest and most cool. l.headed men, the
projected usurpation of Wade will have
exactly the contrary effect from what its
originators intended. 1t WILDE source
of political weakness instead of strength
to the Republicans. AS an illustration
of this idea, prominent and well known
Republican in this city,in conversation
with the writer of this article, remarked !:
"You know my politics and my antece
dents. Ialways 60 with the Republican
party; but sometimes, when certain
men in whom have no confidence obtain
control of it, take the ribbons of the We
hicle in which we are oil riding into their
hands, and drive with such reckless speed
and fury that l prefer, for my own com
fort and safety, to get out and walk. The
wagon generally breaks down atno great
distance, strewng the party out so that
by my easy walking | soon overtake
them, and again go along with the main
body. l may be mistaken, but the
signs all indicate that when such roar
ing old fool and blatant humbug as Ben.
Wade is put in the Presidential chair, he
will drive on in way that will compel
great many of us Republicans to get out
of the Republican wagon and walk, in
order to prevent being instantly thrown
out. No party can succeed that will fol.
low the lead of such man as Ben. Wade"

A Historical Parallel.

In a work recently published in Eng
land, entitled 1.-THE Irish under the Tu-
dors," occurs this passage of history:
Believing that all the disorders of
Ireland we're to be traced either to the
neglect or misconduct of the English
deputies, bishops, captains, or settlers,
who had failed to carry out their in
structions with the diligence and success
expected of them, the government at
home was chiefly occupied with the
thought how they could b9st force the
acceptance of their laws and institutions
upon the unhappy Irish. By dint Of re:
peated efforts, by enormous waste OF blood
and treasure, the 0'Neils, o Connors and
O'Mores were humbled; the still more
formidable chiefs of the ButlePsand Ger
aldines were overawed or conciliated.
But their submission, extorted by fear or
the hope Of a peersge, by English honors
or English protection, produced little
effect upon the population IL general
Rather il broke the neck of their own
influence, and only tended to bring into
closer union the Irish priesthood and the
Irish people"
Do we see q parallel for this in the ten
monsrchies2 Does not history strangely
repeat itself in events if not in kind?-

More Truth and Common Sense.

The reader will be surprised to learn
that the following frank and bold para
graph, at once truthful and independent,
is copied from the Reuoiution, Mrs. Stan
ton woman's rights paper in New York.
1t is from the pen of Parker Pillsbury,
man of talents, as the extract clearly
proves:
Suffrage to black men in the South is
q political necessity, not an act of right
for the sake of right. Impeaching the
President is party trick dictated by a
demagogue determination to hold place,
power and pelf We're the trial and
hanging of Jefferson Davis a similar
necessity, his life would be no more than
mushroom in the party desperation.
The South is hated by the party leaders
at the North, and hates back in return.
And yet we are stunned with the prate
about restoring the Union; as if fire and
Illuminating powder could be moulded
into bread The hate now engendered
in the Southern heart by the Northern
treatment of her will burn as the flames
of hell for generations, by all Ghe laws of
natural life and being. Gerrit Smith,
and few others, preach forbearance to-
wards her as our fellow-sinner as well as
sufferer, and are Knocked for their pains,
and branded as Copperheads. The press
has. almost supplanted the pulpit in
power and influence, but nowhere and
never calls for justice or pleads for truth,
except in obscure and remote corners.
The people are made to believe that the
Republican party is the. only name
under heaven given among men whereby
they and their country can be saved
and that whosoever believeth in it shall
be saved, and he that believeth not shall
be damned; and the lingering years OF
misrule, taxation, starvation, south and
north, are revealing to what purpose"
