The Murfreesboro Monitor of the Sd
inst. has the following Aotice of trial at
that place under the KuaKlux law of this
State:
''The MurfIcesbOTO public has been en-
tCrtaincd during the past week with its
first trial. under the Ku-KluX law. The
case wa8 presented by the grand jury,
and underwent an investigation, on last
Thursday, before His Honor, Judge Fra
zier, of the Criminal Court. The hero of
The mask and the victim of the prOsecu-
ton was the notorious Charlie Wendell,
cOlOrCd, who is, by the way, the luckiest
devil that ever went unwhipped of jus
tice. He was discharged by the court,
not upon the strength of his Innocence,
nor upon the want of evidence of the
offensc, but upon the mere fact of the
date of the crime committed.
''It was proved conclusively, as alleged
in the indictment, that he, in company
with three others, masked, with bloody
disguise, and with horses covered all over
with ghostly looking sheets, made raid
some time about the first of last Febru-
airy, on Depot Hill, to the immense dis
quiet OF Coal Bill, Henry Jordan and
number of others of the colored per-
suasiOD. There was no discrepancy in
the evidence except as to date. All the
interest of the trial finally centered on
that, as the first Eu-Klux law, passed by
the Radical Legislature, was repealed on
the 18th of November, 1869, and the
last called can act to preserve the peace
became a law on the Both of January,
1870; consequently any offence of the
kind committed between the two
dates could not have been a crime.
Evidence was produced by the prose
cution showing that it must have
been committed after, and by the de-
teuse showing that it must have been
committed befoIe the passage of the last
act. The whole affair, however, was
concluded by an old file of the Monitor
being brought in, bearing date Jan 80,
1870, in the local columns of which all
the facts and circumstances of the case
are given as having occurred on the night
previous, Jan. 81. Upon the strength of
it, Charlie Wendell, the Radical and negro
Ku Klux, was discharged without further
ceremony"
The Monitor says it gives this little
episode for the benefit of Radicalism
every where. 1t shows who are concerned
in getting up the Ku-Klux outrages" in
this State, about which the Radicals make
so much fuss

OUR PUBLIC LANDS.

The report of Secretary Cox shows
that during the last fiscal year public
lands were disposed of as follows: Cash
sales, 2,159, 5l5 acres; located with mill
tary warrants, 5l2, $3.50 acres; taken for
homesteads, 8, 69s, 9l6 acres; located with
college scrip, 1S2,s4S acres; grants 10
railroad, 996, 6s5 acres; grants to wagon
roads, So, 62s acres; approved to States as
stamps, 4s1, 6Ss acres; the Indian scrip
locations, 1887 acres; total, 6,095, Ala
acres. A quantity greater by 429, 1852
acres than that disposed of during the
previous year. The cash receipts of the
Office during the same period amounted to
So, ,519, less by $500, $3.50 than
those received the previous year. The
quantity of land under the homestead act
was greater by 961,54 acres than that
of the preceding year. The area of pub
lie lands undisposed of is 1873, 773, 22O, 9S5
acres, of which 1907, lis, 44S are un-
surveyed. Grants for educational pur-
poses, since the foundation of the gov
eminent, amount to 78,576,sO acres;
for military services, 70, 400, 961
acres; for internal improvements, exclu-
sive of railroads and wagon roads, 49,
$685. The swamp lands approved to
the States amount to go, 459, S6S acres;
and there have been selected by way of
indemnify for swamp lands 6,512, 62l
acres. The area of the organized terri
tories, including Alaska, is greater than
all the States which have been admitted
TO the Union, and yet these territories do
not contain over $4,000 white inhabit-
ants. In natural resources this territorial
domain is richer than the area included
in the States. The latter contain say
40, 900, 900 inhabitants, and even these

"'One of the most singular reasons vet

II has long been complained, and upon
ample grounds, that while the royal fam
ly of Great Britain divided their resi-
dence between England and Scotland, they
rarely have set foot upon Irish soil. The
Philadelphia Press says that Queen Vic
toria, who has, been over thirty-three
years on the throne, has passed, all told,
twelve of these years in the Highlands of
Scotland, and the remaining years in EGG
land, but only visited Ireland twice-both
visits occupying less than fortnight. The
Prince of Wales has paid some flying
visits, each of only few dsys. 1t is
My stated in the Dubli6 Evening Post,
a semi-official psper, that the Marquis of
Gorne and Prideess Louisa are TO visit
Ireland immedi&Sly after their marriage
next February, and that the Marquis will

now held by E3l Spencer. 1t is not an

letter in relation TO his connection with

This letter brings out one or two points

the entire scope Of Mr.. Jobnson's, as of

HARD TO STRIKE OUT "wHITE., :,


The Cincinnati Enquirer says: CAT
the late election in Michigan the question
was submitted to the people, by the Re
publican Legislature, whether they would
strike the word "white" out of the State
Constitution, in the suffrage clause, where
iLrestricts voting TO white persons. This
wasConsidcred necessary in order TO bIingit
inharmony,with the Fifteenth Amendment
TO the Federal Constitution. 1t was not
supposed that there would be any oppose
ton to this procedure, which the progress
of events hd apparently rendered ineVi-
table. But TO the establishment of the
Republican managers, State which they
carried even his fall by fifteen thousand
majority, falters upon this question, and
if the friends Of the striking out" arc
not beaten, they have only succeeded by
a majority of few hundred! 1t would
seem that a large portion of the Repub-
lican party in Michigan are DESTROYS of
administering a rebuke TO those who rati-
fled the amendment in their name, with
out their consent, even if the act carries
with it no practical force or effect

the RADICAL ORGAN,

The Tennessee Tribune, the Radical
weekly, made its first appearance in this
city yesterday. In its salutatory ii says !:
We have long believed that the tone of
Journalism In this country should be elev-
steo. The press is a most potent power
N any country where It Is free. This
power should not be used for mere parti~
can puFposesto the detriment ofthe public
interest. II should not be used in enforc-
ing lllberA or narrow views.
This we can very cordially approve,
but in the very same article it eulogizes
its party as patriotic, honest, liberal and
progressive, and gives its opinion of the
Democracy in the following language,
We believe the principles of the Demo.
cratic party, as at present organized, SO
lar as It has any, to be unwise, unsafe
and vicious, of evil origin and ruinous
tendency; and that the Democratic partv
IN It's history and elements, unpatriotic

ings, views, purposes and policy narrow.

Wecan certainly very readily admit that
those who have been persuaded to be.
lieEe that the Radical party is either spa
triotie, "honest" or sqiberal," should
tmnk unfavonIbly of thu Democracy,
upon the same principle that 81
ts mo thief e'er felt the halter draw

Il concludes by saying:
We shall insist upon the right of ev
cry citizen of the State to enioy, unchal
lenged and unmolested, every privilege
personal and political, secured to him by
the Constitution and laws of the land.
We hope that the Tribune will 90 fur
ther and insist upon the right of ever,
'ohtte citizen of the State ''to enjoy un
challenged and unmOlested every priv
lege, personal and political, secured t.

GOING RACK ON TIE NICHOLS.

GOING BACK ON THE NEGROES
The AtChison (KanSas) PatriOt state,
that the result Of the election in Lcavcn
worth county, Kansas, shows that Tho
Radical party has no use for the negro Il,
auoffice-holdcr, and that however strong
ly they desire his aid as a voter, they
have no desire TO recognize his .'cquali
iy' with them in any other respect. The
Patriot submits the following facts in
confirmation of its statement
Matthews, a negro, was put on the Re
publican ticket for the Senate in Lcaven-
worth county. Whether this was done
10 save the negro vote, or whether il was
because of a chrOn dcsire on the part
of the leaders to place q negro above
white men, il is not necessary to inquire
The act wss done. The result is that
Matthews falls behind the ticket thous-
and votes, and the whole ticket is beaten
III consequence of his being on it. The
1000 negroes in LeayenwOrth voted the
straight Republican ticket-everyone of
them. They now see what return the
Republicans make for it. The result will
show how utterly false and unwor-
thy offuture confidence arc the men they
have been supporting"
This is pretty conclusive, but it is just
such proof as comes from any Northern
State where any negro has offered himself
for Office. The St. Louis Republican of
