fuences are at work to insert new items which
are so monstrous and barefaced that the rascals
in the city did not dare to put them into the
bills, but hope to get them put in at the last
moment by their brother rascals III Albany,
when the honest members will not have time
to expose the swindles, and in the racket
and confusion of legislative dissolution may not
even discover them. Filthy, a large number
of capacious Democratic maws, belonging TO
fellows who all along have hOwled against
Albany government, are aching and gnplng
just now lest the appropriations to pay their
uneaIned salaries and stealings may be handled
roughly il the bills are reported in time for
examination, or passed too deliberately to adj
NIT of the additions and betterments which
loafers in Office so crave and covet Sixthly,
large and perfectly solvent body of contractors
and jobbers of all sorts, sizes, and grades, with
surplus funds to invest in legislative virtue,
in the joyful hope of getting them back ten
fold are resolved that these great bills shall
not be passed in time to be printed, or even
engrossed, before the Legislature adjOurns,
but that they shall be kept in some convenient
place, for the purpose of putting in amend
ments, striking out Objectionable restrictive
clauses, af1ixing fraudulent slips, and being
manipulated in all sorts of wicked ways, be-
fore the bills are engrossed and sent to the
Governor, who has hardly any choice except
to sign them. Finally, who shall say to what
extent members of the Legislature are inter
ested in these billsq Are not three sparrows
sold for a farthingq Are we not required to
conceal from the right hand what the left hand
doeth? Some legislative sparrows have their
farthings paid down; others receive theirs
circuitously. The tax bills OF the city
contain provisions in which members OF
the Legislature are likely to have an inter
est which no sagacity can ferret out and prore
Nav, some of the members of the Legislature
from this city are holders of city Offices, and
are drawing fat pay for imaginary services
here while log-rolling and walowing in cor
rupt legislation at Albany. They are robbing
us in two places at the same time, and they
do not wish the Tax Levy prematurely reported
The final cause of the delay, then, lies with
certain members of the Legislature. But the
primary and most directly responsible cause is
the Municipal Committee, and especially its
Chairman. Alexander Frear we call upon you,
the people call upon you, the taxpayers call
upon you, honest men throughout the State
call upon you TO REPORT! Let us see this
bantling of tedious CESSATION; let us handle it,

TIE CITY TIY LEVY

Mr.. Alexander Frcar, Chairman of the NUM-
cipa Committee of the Assembly and Member
from New York why do you not report the
City Tax bill and the County Tax bill I You
other two city members of the Committee, you
two from Brooklyn, and you two from the
rural districts why do you not compel Chair
man Frear to report these tax bills, or ask the
House to compel him to report them' Mem
bers of the Assembly generally why TO you
not order these vastly important money bills to
be Immediately rep0rtcdP The hundred days
of legislative life are running ont like the sands
of the retired physician, but the great tax bills
Of OVER TWENTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, Which
are to be wrung chiefly from the lab0ring men
of this city i'll the shape Of Rents, Food, and
Clothing, are still persistently held back. Why
are thet held back? Ask the Ring and they
can tell you, if they will Ask the Honorable
William NJ. Tweed, the Honorable Mayor Hoh-
man who "says nothing about local taxes" the
Honorable Peter b. Sweeny, who has great
power with his party, and many other mighty
honoIables who run the Democratic machine,
and perhaps they will tell you, and perhaps they
will not But We assume they will not, and
therefore we will state for them some reasons
why these bills are not reported. In the first
place the eyes of the people are looking for
them-the wide-Open, deep-Searchng eyes OF
the people, who desire TO see, examine, and
fight the monsters. If an Albany tax levy
hates anything, it is the light, and the scrutiny
which follows when it is dragged forth into the
light. Secondly, short AS is the remnant of the
hundred days. it is too long by far to suit the
peculiar character of the Tax Levy. The men
who have charge of it fight in ambush like
Indians. They prefer a surprise to an open
field, and q most dsagreeable surprise are they
preparing for the tax paying people Thirdly,
the Committee at Albany are doing the bidding
of the Ring in the city and the Ring wish the
levy kept back to the last moment for fear
that all the jobs, frauds, and Infamous yllainies
with which they have crammed it may meet
with stern resistance on the part of honest
Assemblywen. FoWthly, powerful political in

Connecticut holds her State Election to-day.
We have not Wanted our conviction that the
Democratic majority of last year will now be
wholly overcome, though we certainly hope
and trust that it may be. We feel entire con-
fidence that the State is Republican by at
least Two Thousand majority provided every
legal elector shall vote once only, and
no others shall vote at ALL But we know
that some voters are absent from the State,
and cannot return to it to-day, while others
will forego their privilege through needless
ness, illness or preOccupatiOn, and good many
illegal votes will be pOlled-every one of these
influences conspiring to reduce if not overcome
the Republican majority. We say to our friends
to-day, as we have said all along, You can
succeed if you all do your best: Do 1T, then,
and electrify your brethren throughout the
land with tidngs of victory which will
practically settle the next Presidential Elec-
ton
Our very latest dispatches, reaching to II
o'clock last night are OF the most hopeful
character. Excellent judges, who have labored
throughout the canvass, count upon hand
some Republican majority and one of the most
prominent of the Democratic orators is said to
concede their defeat. But lose not vote .
Trust nothing short of downright hard work !!

a leading Radical at Columbus. it is presumed
that the Rebels, through the fundamentally OF
tins Klan, intend, by force, to prevent the
election at which, in fair contest they would
be largely outvoted.
The name Kuk-Klux is said TO be derived
from the noise of the cooking of rifle, and is
significant of shooting at sight. Gen. Meade
informs the Klan and their friends that if shoot
ing is to be the order of the day, he proposes
to have hand in the work
On the whole, we judge that this Klan is
reality, and means dangerous mischief. Ii has
spread, in an incredibly short time from East
ern Tennessee to every nook and corner of the
Southern States. 1t is petted in an indirect
way by the worst of the Rebel press, and hints
are given here and there of the great deliv-
erance from Congressional rule that the South
is to have at some future day through its op-
erations If it is really another Secession snake,
the sooner its fangs are drawn by the judicious
exhibition of loyal power, the better it will he

ptRDON or CRIUINlLN.

The Erening Post parades a list OF score oI
so of hardened offenders whom Gov. Fenton
has pardoned in the course Of his two terms OF
service. The plain inference from The Posts
language is that the Governor knep tlese per-
sons to be inveterate felops; yet we are sure
The Post cannot believe this. The Governor
has acted in these cases under false or partial
information, as any one might do, and may
doubtless, have done. In every case Of aDpli-
cation for pardon, all that can be said on the
prisoners side is urged, while the facts that
bear the other way are kept as much out of
sight rs is possible. That is defect of our
present system, which needs reforming Every
Governor of our State has probably been mis-
led into mistakes in the exercise of the pardon
ing power, but we Judge that no one has made
fewer than Gov. Fcnton.
The Post finds its excuse for this display OF
spleen in the Governors refusal to pardon Ed
ward B. Ketchum of which it says:
"NO pity was shown In the case OF young ketehum
whose conduct previous 10 his Onense had been ire
proachable who had never been In Sing Sing before and
whose liberation involved no danger Of mischief to the
community"
These or kindred considerations we have
repeatedly urged in favor of Ketchums pardon
believing them sound and just We deeply re-
gret that Gov. Fenton has not regarded this
case substantially as we do. But are We likely
to persuade him TO grant desired pardon
by assailing and denouncing him for those ho
has already grantedl We believe our ex-

A characteristic movement is ON foot at
Memphis, the hot-bed of ultra Southernism.
The immediate matter is an effort to stock the
town or city of Helena, in Arkansas, with

there. A letter explaining tho object says:

eu THE Managers of Impeachment closed their
:, ease on Saturday. Some testimony was intro
dpced to show that the President had recOg-
,nized the validity of the Tenure-Of- Office act
in changing the form of commissions issued to
civil officers, and had even formally announced
the suspension of Secretary Stanton as having
Jbeen done under the authority of that act, in a
letter to Secretary MeCulloch. No one who
has followed the trial fails to see that the Man
sagers have made out very compact and per-
feet case. The Presidents counsel asked and
obtained three days time to prepare their evil
adenee, and the Senate adjourned till Thursday.

The Ku-Klux Klan, so-called, have obtained
q recognition from Gen. Meade, who on Satur-
day issued an order which declares that GER
4 tain murders and outrages of recent occurrence
in Georgia were the acts of secret Organiza-
tion, and warns all citizens from participation
In its work of intimidation of voters. Gen
Meade includes infammatOry newspaper articles
and speeches among the means employed in
this business. and gives warning that the au-
thors of such will be liable to trial and punish
Tnent by military commission. Gen. Meade
does not mean to have the shooting done all
on one side in the pending canyass in Georgia,
if shooting there must be.
New-York tribune., 1868-04-06

We get every day fresh proof of what We
have repeatedly said, that all the partisan
voting in the Court of Impeachment is done
by the Democratic Senators. The Republicans
are divided on almost every question that
arises, some voting with Mr. Johnsons friends,
and others with the Managers of Impeachment.
The Democrats vote invariably as a compact
party. In a word, the apparent aim of tho
Republicans is to do justice; that of the Dem
ocrats to secure the Presidents acquittal,
whether he is innocent or guilty.

AT last the Georgia Democracy have got a
candidate for G6yernOr--at least, so says the
telegraph. They first put up Judge Reese, and
were getting steam up brayeiy. when the Judge
discovered that he was ineligible, being an un-
pardohed Rebel. Next they put up, or rather
adopted, Judge Irwin, and went ahead again
with enthusiasm. Now it. appears that Irwin

have got started once more by nominating
Gen. Gordon of the late Confederate army,
who, we are bound to presume, has been duly
pardoned since Gen. Meade kindly informs the
world that he is eligible. Rebel General
ought to make strong cauddate-particularly
when he has the quasi Endorsement of the De-

A LUNATIC JUMPS FROM A TRAIN OF CARS
IN MOTION AND MAKES BIS RscAPE.----;Y Yes-
terday morning, while the night train Of
the Fredericksburg road was approaching
the city, shortly after passing Hungary sta
ton mulatto named George Gaines eluded
the vigilance Of a guard Of two men, under
the charge of Sheriff White, Of Loudoun
county, and leaped from the platform of
the car while under full headway. The
train was stopped as soon as possible, and
backed to the spot. The place where he
fell was distinctly visible, but no trace Of
the prisoner could be found. He is bright
mulatto with powerful frame, about six
feet high, had on linen pants and black
coat at the time he left the cars, and had q
severe confusion under the left eye, caused
by blow from a fellow prisoner. @e -s
Gaines has been confined for the past
eight months in the Loudoun county Jail for
orse-stealing, and his actions. denoting o
disordered intellect, q commission de luna
tico inquire'ado reported him hopelessly
insane. Repeated efforts to get him into an
asylum having failed, he was ordered to be
sent to this city and placed in charge of the
Freedmen's Bureau, which was his destina-
ton when he made his escape. What hurts
he may have received from his daring feat
are of course unknown, but his escape from
instant death must seem little short of q
miracle. ~ - -
