7" Your father had made nice little for
tune, but heavy security debt just before
the opening Of the war, and the war to-
gether, ruined him, and since the war work

From Cadao ParIsh.

A private letter from Caddo parish states
that the majority against the Constitution is
46g. The rebel element in the parish went
abroad inarmed bands, assisted by depu-
ty sheriffs, and other lebels, took away
their tickets from the free linen, and substi-
tuted the Democratic tickets in their stead.
These armed bands of rebels placed revelV.
ers at the heads and breasts of the freedmen,
and compelled them to deposit rebel ballots
against the Constitution and for rebel Off
GERS. Some six or seven Republicans were
killed in various parts of the parish during
the election days.

That sterling and influential paper, the
Pittsburg Gazette, (the Oldest paper west of
the Allegheny mountains, and which ex.
presses the views of q majority of the people
in the region in which it is circulzted), has
the following on the subject of the Ku Klux:
Immediately before the war Northern men
were liable to meet death, or at the very
least a coat of tar and feathers, If they vent
ured into the Southern States. Immediately
after the war the Southern people were
cowed, and a Northern man was safe in their
midst; and and comfort has since tnen been
furnished them from the White House, and
now their outrages are even more
high handed than ever. Two teachers of
Maury county, Tennessee, have been treated
In the most brutal manner and banished by
crowd Of men, including the magistrate
and constable, who loudly declared that the
ku-klux managed matters there. 1t is the
duty of Governor Brownlow to spare
neither men nor money in the immediate
punishment of these rebels, and if he is not
able to quen them, then Congress should
come to his aid. If necessary the whole
army should be ordered to these rebellious
districts, and used in such q way that any
man who has right to the protection Of
the government, shall be able to live 10

AcQUITTAL OF THE MURDER OF sNoLAIR.-
The following is the rebel report of the pre-
tended trial of the murderer of Franklin
Sinclair:
a riotous negro, d candidate for repre-
sentative, was shot and killed by Mr..
James Payne, who was afterward acquitted
Of blame in the matter upon the testimony
of a negro preacher who witnessed the cir
cumstances.
1t was doubtless a foregone conclusion
with the triers that the accused should be
acquitted of blame, y and the result would
have been the same in the face of any
amount of evidence. Had there been
legal jury empanneled, such as is pointed
out by the opinion of the Supreme Court
which we publish in another column, the
case would, in all likelihood, have had a
different ending. And it may not be too
late to bring it up yet.

The World asserts that the Democratic AS
sembly" of our State did all that was done in
our late Legislature for retrenchment andecon-
Omy-that our Tax Levy has thus been reduced
by 81 OOO OOO-and this" in spite of the fact that
"the expenses of Gov, FentOn's Military fam
oily have been kept up to nearly Half a Mil
Zion dollars"
This last naked falsehoOd was not originally
coined by The World, but a still more degraded
sheet which respectable journal can rarely
be induced to notice. We therefore let it pass
till The World echoed it; when we respectful
ly requested that journal to justify or retract
its calumny. 1t did neither, but sought shelter
in silence. l
Now this lie-villainOus in its origin, and ut
terly refutedIby official documents-is reiterated
in company of other falsehOods equally ground
less but not so conclusively refuted by SIM
pie exhibition of the Controllers figures We
leave it, with its authors, original and second
hand, to the infamy they have so richly de-
served.

rival parties would secure the early and
thorough closing up Of the National wounds
inflicted by our great Civil War. Each OF
them is at heart magnanimous clement, and
anxious to see our whole people reunited and
heartily reconciled. UNIVERSAL AMNEsTY-IM-
PARTIAL SUFFRAGE-is essentially the platform
of either Were either the controller of our
National destinies, prescriptions and disfran-
easements, whether because OF race or of by
gone rebellion, would rapidly dwindle and
speedily disappear. Not two years would
elapse before the passions aroused by our ter
rible struggle would be completely allayed,
our desolated fields would smile once more
with verdure and plenty, and our whole people
would be fraternally engaged in augmentlng
the prosperity, greatness and glory OF our
common country.
We do not suppose there is any chance OF
Mr.. Chase's nomination. 1t will take about
one more tremendous defeat to Undue the
managers of the Democratic party with sense
enough to make such a nomination. A good
part of them have scarcely yet advanced
step since James Buchanan was their oracle,
with Cobb, Floyd, and Jake Thompson as his
chief councillors, all insisting that no State
could be "cOerced,n but that any State might
"coerce" the Union so often and so far as she
might see fit. Others have advanced to the
era of Frank Pierce, Judge Woodward and
the two Gov SeymOurs; while it begins
to crawl through the hair of few Of the
younger brethren that there has been an I'M
pleasantness in the country Of late, and con-
siderable upturning, and that some things
are not lust as they used to be. One more
good thrashing will mix these notions up so
that the party may evince some glimmerings
of common sense; but it were absurd to imag-
inc that a party whose most popular oracle is
Brick POmeroy is prepared to present or
accept Chief-Justice Chase as its candidate for
next President.

COUNSEL IN EXTREMITY.

The Herald is indefatigably devOting itself
to the task of discovering a candidate for
President with whom the Democratic party
may hope to make at least a respectable fight
against the election of Gen. Grant Andrew
Johnson, Admiral FaTagut, Gen. Dix, Gen.
Hancock, and ever so many more, have in
turp been trotted out, put through their PAGES,
and, after a fair trial, trotted in again, as
deficient in the requisite speed or bottom ;
until at last our volatile contemporary pitches
upon Chief-Justice Chase as the man to drag
the COpperheads out of the Slough of
Despond wherein they now struggle and
founder. A great deal Of good is said of the
Chief-Justice by The Herald that contrasts
oddly with its past assaults upon him; the in
culpations having been false, while the praise
is just. And, whereas The Herald has made
many absurd demonstrations touching the
Presidency, this one is sound and sagacious.
The Chief-Justice is the very man whom the
Democrats ought to nominate for next Presi-
dent, and whose nomination would give them
some hope of success. He is one of the ablest
perhaps the very ablest-of our country's
statesmen he is man of lofty Christian char
acter spotless reputation, and exemplary life
He 10 III Tic Ilpc lhutuilt9 VI hiS pOhOio "iiN
not shade beyond it he is a thorough Demo
crat, according to the true definition of that
mucb-abused term; he is stern foe to official
and legislative corruption, and he would fill the
Presidential chair with unsurpassed dignity,
probity and ability.
Were Mr.. Chase nominated and cordially
supported by the Democrats, we believe he
would come nearer to beating Gen. Grant
than any other living man possibly could.
His name would dissolve the compact organi-
cation of the Southern Blacks in favor of the
Republican candidates. They are now COM
PEELED to be Repubicans-they dare not be
anything else. But Chief-Justice Chase would
not, for twenty Presidencies, surrender
or dissemble his devotion , to Equal
Human Rights and his nomination
would be joyfully hailed by the Blacks
as an assurance that they might now break
ranks and divide their votes among cOntendng
parties according to their respective personal
preferences. Hence every one of the newly
reconstructed States-which are now morally
certain to vote for Grant-would at once be-
come the arena of desperate contest, with at
least an equal chance that the Democrats
would carry it, And there are many Republi-
cans in other States who would likewise hail
the nomination Of Chase by the Democrats as
the end of controversy between sections and
races, and would thereupOn support and vote
for the Chief-Justice as the ADLER and filter of
the rival candidates.

The tendency of modern education is steadily to-
ward the substitution of the natural sciences the
useful arts, and modern languages for the old ourri
culum of dead languages. the higher mathematics,
and other abstract studies and the arts which are
strictly ornamental No opportunity excellent and
popular for attaining much useful insight into most
important branch of natural science has recently
been afforded that furnished by the lectures now
being delivered by Mr.. WaterhOuse Hawkins upon
the Animal Kingdom. Mr.. Hawkins is o distin-
guished pupil of the eminent Prof Huxley, and, be-
side being an excellent lecturer illustrates his lee
lures by extempOraneous drawings with wonderful
facility and grace.
