Gov. BRowNLow states in his
last proclamation, that the ku-
Klux have driven four conductors
from one road" The road referred
TO is the Nashville and Decatur, and
the driving was done by the ku.
Klux in Alabama. Perhaps he will
send Fighting Joe Cooper down
there to annex that territory to his
kingdom and look after these un,
mannerly fellows.

(RadicaD thinks "the best and

to life and property and lawful lib

do it without resorting to military
law, and using one portion Of the
citizens against the other" The
Republican should not poke fun at

LegaI-A -ALawyers' Congress.

A Lawyers Congress" attended by
some of the most eminent jurists in Ger
many, has just been held at Heidelberg,
and has passed several resolutions on
important social and Judicial questions.
l. Civil marriages should be recognized
as a necessary principle of the relations
between Church and State in the whole
Of Germany; and the State should make
no objections to the marriage of persons
of different religion. This was proposed
by DR.. Gncist, and passed against a
minority of one only. 2. That Govern
meat sanction should not be required for
the formation of joint stock com mpanies or
other associations, but that the liability of
each member of such q company should
be unlimited. g. A written document
acknowledging debt should be taken as
sufficient proof of such debt, indepen-
IDENTIFY of the circumstances under which
the debt was incurred. A. As nearly all
the objects of punishment are more effec-
tually attained by solitary confinement
than by any system of Imprisonment,
such confinement should be recognized
by law as the regulated mode of executing
sentences which involve the loss of lib.
erty; exceptions to this rule might be
made when necessary, either by the Judge
or by the Governor Of the prison. This
resolution was passed almost nnani-
mously.

the mother used artificial means to de-

refused to nurse the child.
Rev. Mr.. Reed, of Maiden, Massachu-

efficacy of prayer. He considered the

business, and left a wreck worth, for
