RrrUALIssI AT BRIGHTON.


Rtualism seems to be In full power at Brighton. A
contemporary publishes account OF grand service
at ST. James's chapel there on Sunday, September
81 In which rather than the usual departures
were made. There were singing men and boys, IN
cense candles, and consecrated waters. The people
OF Brighton are said to find this do tnem goo6
spiritually, and 1t Is, OF course, their affair."

ELOQUENT EXTRACT.-There
are men who desert the altar of
a Lost Cause round which they
once stood with the blood in their
hearts painting for liberation, and
who kneel to offer homage at the
altar of successful wrong. There
are men who trample under foot
the very standards that once
tloated proudly over them. There
are men base enough to lift their
hands against the very rights for
which they once uplifted swords
We are not such. For us, princi-
pie, is principle, right is right
yesterday-to day tomorrow -
forever. Submission to might is
not surrender of right. We yield
to the one, but shall never yield
UP to the other Father Ryan.

R The Kuklux Klan is Great
ing a sensation scarcely equaled
by the impeachment of the Presi-
dent. We cannot help laughing
at the seriousness with which
some seem to regard this "most
terrible of organizations What
it is, its objects, of whom COM
posed, where they meet, or where
they reside are all questions which
remain shrouded in mystery.
The Chicago Jonrnal declares
it to be a ''blood- thirsty band of
rebel desperadoes;" another paper
says stit is the Sons of Malta under
another name;" while an intelli-
gent contraband assures us that
''dey am ghosts sure enuf." One
report says they are great meat
eaters, and live exclusively on
raw negro flesh, often eating as
much as a negro and a half at a
single meal, and it is said that or
ders have been issued for seventy
thousand rations, to be supplied
Immediately to a single den in
Mobile. Other good authority
says the worst deeds they have
yet been guilty of, has been the
supplying of certain poor and
needy widows with flour and pro-
visions and preventing negroes
from prowling about at night to
steal chickens and hogs.
All law-abiding citizens must
deplore the existence of any secret
society which has even the ap-
pearance of being a political or
ganization. Secret political or
ganization is the highway to an
archy, and it persisted in will re-
suit in yet undreamed of crime
and misery. AS we deplored the
organization of Union Leagues,
we deplore the organization of the
Klan. The Klan, howerer, is but
the legitimate and inevitable re
suit of the League. The Loyal
Leaguers are fighting with wea-
pons of their own selection, and
should be the last to complain of
the Klan, though they may well
be the first to tremble.-[ [Colum-

Abortion in New England
A Fearful Picture.

|>riage,n in which it alluded very
darkly to cause which are at work
to prevent the increase of families
which it regards as fearfully prev
alent in the northern section OF
the Union. That paper declares
that "there is an army, large, well
appointed, organized, commission
ed, waging war against the mar
riage constitution. To this army
the vicious, the foolish, the Grim
inal, so miscellaneous, SO diverse
" accoutred-belong no small
number of the people who find
marriage an expensive luxury,
and great many Of the people
who consider it inconvenient to
rear "a large family. And the
Tribune further declares that ''the
married do as much to bring mar
riage into dishonor and reduce it
to inefficiency as the unmarried" ;"
This is a terrible indictment to
bring against a people who boast
of their superior civilization. The
Banner of Light, a Boston publ
cation, is more explicit than the
Tribune, and furnishes data upon
which the latter's Indictment may
be based. Here is the fearful
picture of Generalization and
crime which the Banner of Light
presents:
We will state a single fact, re
Gently come under our notice,
which illustrates, as well as any
thing can, the fatal corruption
that infects what is styled our
Christian civilization and before
those who may read these lines
shall pay out another dime for
the proposed redemption of the
''heathen," we. beg them to pause
and reflect if it would not be wiser
to abolish the worse than heather,
the shockingly inhuman practices
that taint and are certain to de
stroy our social system unless
early checked by an efficient cor
rectiye.
At a recent meeting of the Med
ical Association of Androscog-
ging county, in Maine, DR.. Oaks
made the remark that, according
to the best estimate he could
make, there were four hundred
murders annually produced by
abortion in that county alone.
This astonishing number of in
fants, destroyed deliberately every
year, in a single county of Puri-
tanic New England! Think of it.
The statement is made in all pos
Sible seriousness, before a meet

the county, and from statistics
which were as freely expose to
one member of the fraternity as
another. If this is indeed the

to the heart of every reader. This

under the notice of practising
physicians in particular. They

Remedies for 'EHog Cholera. .

!
ter, from Wilcox county, having
inquired for q remedy for the hog
cholera, we have consulted cur
files of agricultural papers, and
find numerous prescriptions, each
of which is recommended as a
"certain cure" We condense the
following: I
AS soon as possible after the
animal is attacked, give him a
large dose of salts-say q teacup
full to o grown hog. Ifit do not
act freely in five or six hours, re-
peat the dose. AS soon as the eff
feet is over, give two teaspoOnsfuls
of laudanum in about as much
warm water, and repeat the dose,
if necessary, in five or six hours.
The writer (H. G. Dickson, of Tai
bot county, Ga.,} says he never
had to give a third dose, and fire.
quently one would effect a cnre.
Another A report to the Uni
ted States Agricultural Society in
1859, by DR.. Higgins, of Mary
land, states that the disease is
evidently species Of pneumonia,
and the remedy is: take equal
portions of carbonate of soda and
carbonate of barilla, mix together,
rub them on a mortar, and give
dose of ten grains (about a tea
spoonfuD three times a day.
This is said to have been entirely
successful. aN 1fHs
Jacob Fuller, President of the
Rockbridge (Va.) Agricultural
Society, communicates the follow
ing:
Recipe.-To one peck Of corn,
saturated with or dipped in wa
ter, put one ounce Of spirits tur-
Ipentine, half ounce saltpetre,
(pulverized) and one pound un-
Stacked lime, all stirred minutely
together. To be fed to twenty
hogs at one feeding.
Another recipe is Take one
pound of copperas one pound sal
petre and half a pound of ginger;
grind or otherwise finely 1pulver-
ize the copperas and salpetre,
then add the ginger. Give to
each animal teaspoonful every
day when bad, or once in two. or
three days if used as a preyen-
tive. The medicine may be given
in slop, but dry meal or bran is
considered better. aaa.f4sn
/ An Illinois correspondent writes
that he had saved his hogs by
giving them pretty heavy doses
Of copperas. aa1Ia
Alum water has also been used
with success. A writer says he
made strong solution of alum
waterfall the water would bear
and drenched all he found dis
eased. He gave to the lot about
a hundred head) a pound of pull
verized alum in some swill feed
each day for two weeks, which
proved entirely successful as a
preventive. ~
Here are remedies in abund-
ance, and those interested can
select such as they choose. There
is another disease, however, very
prevalent now among the hogs in
the South, far worse than hog
cholera, which no medicine can
cure, and that is the H:Freedmen's
disease" The only remedy that
we know of, as likely to reach the
disease, is, potcde,- and lead.-(Mo-
