KU KLUx IN Observation-Disclosures
Err HANGED nY MoD.-In Portage
City, Wis, on Thursday, William
Spain, lawyer, and Barney Britt, far
mer, met in the*street and renewed n
quarrel that had its origin when they
we're members of the Nineteenth Wis
eorain Regiment. After they had
separated Spain went home, procured
revolver, and on meeting Britt again
soon afterward shot and almost instant
ly killed him, scarcely word being
exchanged. Spain then deliberately
walked down the street, hourishing
his revolver, closely followed by Mar
shai Hickey, who arrested him. While
he was passing up the street again an
excited crowd of people followed, and
when opposite the American express
office q general onslaught was made
upon the prisoner. The excitement
increased fearfully, and cries of"Hang
him." "Hang him." rent the air. The
crowd soon increased at the Express
office to the number Of one hundred,
who took the prisoner in their posses.
sioD, plaeed'a o rope about his neck and
dragged him to the nearest tree, be-
low the Ellsworth House, and hanged
him.

A Washington letter to the Balti-
more Gazette says; "The Radicals
are despairing of the Fifteenth amend
ment. Governor Senter's organ, the
Nashville Press and Times, is out in a
doubleeleaded leader predicting that
the new Legislature will repeal Ten
nessee's ratification of the Fifteenth
amendment, Before the final ratifi.
cation of an amendment to tho Con.
stitution Of the United States by the
required three-fourths, any State,
which has passed q ratification ordi-
nance, may rightfully repeal it. This
doctrine was broadly stated in the
Senate in 1851, by Hons Reverdy
johnson. and it's correctness not de.
MED by q single Radical senator. The
only point made was, that after an
amendment had been legally declared
adopted, a.State could not reverse it's
action. Doubtless, whenever the
country shall be restored to the sway
of the constitution, the Fourteenth
amendment (so.oalled) will be ignor-
cd, together with all the reconstruc.
tion laws Of Congress. This certain
result is the only guarantee Of the
political liberties os the Southland
indeed, of the country at large.

A MAN BURIED ALlvE.-A laborer,
named Carter, was employed to 90
down to the bottom of q we'll, on Long
Island, for the purpose of fixing the
pump. He had just completed his
work and was about to descend, when
the we'll suddenly oaved and buried
him from sight at distance of nearly
forty foet from the surface. A large
number Of men Immediately volunteer
ed for the purpose Of digging him out,
but no one believed ho would be found
alive, as Several tons of earth and
stono had filled the we'll. The work
was prosecuted with vigor all night,
the workmen finding it necessary to
"ahore" up the we'll as they descend
ed. Thursday morning the men at
work were startled by hearing the
man at the bottom Of the we'll calling
for them to hurry up, as he was at the
bottom knee deep in water, and close
ly wedged in on ull sides, and unable
to move. A two-inch iron pipe was
Immediately run down to him, and by
this means he was supplied with air,
and the workmen were enabled to
converse with him. 1t seems that the
we'll, in oavipg. in, formed an arch
immediately above his head. Addi-
tiohal gangs Of men volunteered, who
work enefgetitpliy all day, but Thurs
day night had not succeedcd in reach
ing him. The unfortunate man had
been in the well over thirty hours
without food. He only complained Of
being very sleeDy. =.

THE Poon SoUrH.--A ashipeton
letter tells how the South is to be
plucked: /.
."The prosperity Of the South war
rants the statement that tho internal
revenue receipts from that section will
be nearly fifty per cent. greater for
the present fiscal year than for the
last year. Among tho notifications
of the revenue law that will undoubt-
edly be recommended to the next
Congress will be a tax of one cent per
pound on cotton. 1t is believed that
such tax Will yield fully fifteen
millions of dollars for year. This
it is presumed is cog,tated with a
view of relieving northern manufac-
lures, and would find favor with con.
gressmen to the extent of enabling
them to repeal that portion of the law
imposing special taxes. i

JAMES TWIN CorToN.-An Alaba.
ma paper thus described this new
species of cotton: "This variety of
cotton, which is to give fame and for
tuno to its discoverer, if it shall stand
the test Of successful experiment., has
bolls considerably larger than ordins.
ry cotton, and staple longer than
the Peeler. One striking popularity
of this variety consists in the fact that
the stalks have no limbs. The cotton
breaks out in clusters from the stalk,
and sometimes there are from seven to
ten bolls in clustor. NJ. James is
confident that he can gather four bales
from one acre of this cotton. He has
no seed to spare, as he had but thir-
teen rows planted but from these he
intends to select the best seed, and
next year, if his cotton proves to be
rs good as he thinks it will, he will
introduce the seed.'
