New-York tribune., 1870-04-09

The statement of Mr.. A. j. Fletcher Of Ten.
nessee. rs 20 the Outrages of the Ku-KIux
Kans in that State would make very startling
and horrifying reading if the facts were not
confessedly stated secondhand and from faint
recOllectlons of old conversations Beyond
few well-known and authenticated instances
of the murder of prominent men, such as Sen
ator Case, the statement contains only the
most general information upon which no oili-
cial body or person would feel authorized to
act. The picture is, nevertheless, painful one.
OF the truth of the general statement there
can, unfortunately, be very little doubt. But
just such scenes follow every war,--and par
ticularly civil wars. They are the natural
results of the sudden overthrow of all
civil law and social amity. The long
period required to restore order must of
necessity be marked by many acts of violence.
But we believe and maintain that the murders
and rencounters which mark reconstruction in
Tennessee and the South generally are largely
the results of personal animosty. II is absurd
to believe that they were planned by polit-
clans for political purposes. Politics may per
haps be at the bOttOm-the Indirect cause Of
the personal difficulties. 1t would be singular
if such fruitful source Of disorder were not
the origin in some instances of the personal
animosities whose results Mr.. Fletcher por-
trays But while We have MT doubt Of the
truth of Mr.. Fletcher's story, we dissent from
the theory that political differences worthy tho
attention OF Congress are the cause Of the
trouble. While we shall be glad to see order
restored and maintained in Tennessee by the
State militia or United States Army, we shall
heartily regret to see the State put through
long course of political reconstruction at the
hands of Congress. What Tennessee wants is
strong police force and an enforcement of
her laws. Give her that and little time and
she will soon become more orderly than before

The Plebiscitum, which is to ask from France
an approval by popular vote of NapOleOn's
new scheme of reform, is expected to take place
in May. The points presented by the Senatus
Consultum which the people will be invited to
annrove are-frst, that the Senate shall share
legislative power W. 'ne No.p "nu 'i'e EN-
perOr, but cannot initiate taxation secohu' 'la1
the constitution making power given to 'no
Senate is taken from it; third, the Con-
sttution can only be modified by the
people on proposition of the Emperor. We
fail to see in these provisions, or in any other
part of the Senatus COnsutum, of which they
constitute the vital portions an express provision
for trusting the Corps Legislatif with any ad-
ditiOnal legislative and constituent power. 1t
is to be supposed that the Emperor will offer
reforms to the Constitution on motion of his
Legislature elected by the people, but this is
not certain. At the present moment, the ques-
tiOn in France is whether the new reforms
shall be debated by both the French Chambers
before being submitted to a vote of the people
Napoleon has not yet answered this though
the Plebiscitum seems to be quite resolved
upon. If it be " the last aterna-
" tive of revolution" as we think Prince
Napoleon called it in his latest speech in the
Senate, the Emperor certainly pays high re-
spect to the spirit which such contrasts as the
freedom of the murderer Prince Bonaparte
and the Imprisonment of the Deputy RochefOrt
are calculated to provoke. Neither France
nor her ruler is safe under such dangerous
inconsistencies. Concession is not oblivion and
the poison of the two events we have named
has begun its work in the blood OF France.

1t is less than five years since the detach-
ment of hundred blacks which brought up
the rear of the Lincoln funeral procession
through Broadway was regarded by the few
as the most fitting tribute to his memory-by
the many with derisive jeers. Yesterday
twenty times as many colOred citizens cele-
brated by jubiant parade through the same
street the completion of their emancipation.
and an Observant, thoughtful, and peaceful
crowd watched their march with manifesto
tons only of pleasure. The public of New
York, from whom was expected the most vio-
lent opposition, acquiesce in the accomplished
fact of equal rights before the law.
To-day the National Anti-Slavery Society
ftly meets to celebrate the victory by dis
banding At the meeting which is TO be held
at Apollo Hall, Senators Wilson and Revels
and Gen. Butler, beside many old and constant
labOrers in the cause, are to speak.

We are pleased to see that an effort is being made
to enlarge the operations of the Midnight Mission IN
this city, The need for this is painfully urgent. No
philanthropc institution has stronger claim upon
the Christian sympathy and benevolenco of the pub
lie and the forty thousand dollars which the friends
of the Mission trying 10 raise to lengthen their
cords and strengthen their stakes, ought to be con-
trbuted by this great metropolis within week.

A few wretched tears and a spasm, perhaps,
of anguish on the scaffold yesterday, and the
poor withered brain of Jack Reynolds ceased
to act. and his hard, jaded heart to beat He
passed that tremendous education which comes
to men who are almost born into crime, and
whom influences of home, and school, and
church, do not reach to save them from pas
sion, rum, and murder. 81 wish all the liquor
"was out of the world" said miserable Jack
Reynolds; and for the sake of such as Reynolds
so do we. The gallOws yesterday once more

The Chinese in California make
gold dust out of silver half-dollar
pieces, by cutting up the silver
coin into particles which resemble
in shape the gold dust formed in
the streams. This is then colored
to resemble gold, and is mixed
with genuine gold dust. How the
yellow color is put upon the silver
is celestial secret. The profit OF
the business must be great, as two
silver half-dollars make almost an
ounce of gold dust, worth about
eighteen dollars.

A funding bill has passed
Congress which authorizes the
taking up of one thousand mill
lions of the old debt by new
bonds to be paid in specie, and
to bear only four per cent. in
terest, also payable in specie.
How this new issue is to be put
into the place Of the old is hard
to understand.
1t is not reasonable to sup
pose that any one would give
up a seven per cent. bond for a
four per cent. one unless there
was some consideration offered
besides the payment of interest
in gold. We therefore surmise,
for we don't see it in the act,
that these new bonds will be
the ones that the National
Banks will be required to de.
post as security for their notes
