NORTH CAROLINA.-The justices OF
the Supreme Court in the kukluX
cases now on trial have unanimously
decided that member is responsible
for the acts Of any other "klan" in
any other countey, though he had pos
sessed no knowledge OF the act done
until after its commission. The coun-
sci for the defense admitted the legal
opposition. The decision has thrown
great CONSERVATION among the KukluX
and their sympa.hizers, and will tend
to the complete disruption of this in
iquitous conspiracy throughout the
State. The testimony discloses the
preparation of the most iiendish out
RACES on colored and white Republi-
cans for mere political purposes and
that the order was 4O,OOO strong in the
State over a year ago. Its strength now
is not known.

TIE GREAT AMERICAN DESERT

correspondent of the Washington
Chronicle, passing over the Pacific
Railroad, writes: Excepting one mo-
tive "a loco-motive) constantly before
Us. we soon cross the borders OF the
Great American Desert, almost as
bleak as Sahara. 1t is vast flat of al
kali, probably the former bed of a sa-
line lake. The outlook is dull and
uninvitin-. No green to freshen the
eye and relieve the glare of the alkali
Wilderness. There is long stretch of
this alkali country. Some of il is hap

and chat to relieve the teIum. Before
morning we pass ont of Utah into Ne
vada. which has assumed the dignity
of State. We are at stately height,
indeed. 5000 feet above the sea- as
we cross the borders, but the View for
the first two hundred miles is any
thing bat stately, and from the car
window it is difficult to tell where Ne
vada gets its prosperity, as sard, aka

LATEST TELEGRANfS.

We clip the following from the Cole
Hill News of last evening:
New York, September ia Paris
special says that prospects of peace are
now favorable. Austria and Russia
having consented to negotiate with
Germany, begin by insisting on an
armistice. Bismark insists as a pre-
liminary arrangement that three Prus-
sian army corps be encamped within
twenty miles of Paris, to satisfy the
public opinion of Germany.
There is great indignation at Paris
in consequence of the refusal of Earl
Granville to aid the peace negotiations.
BY this course he wishes to make q

JURIEs.-The lamest clauses in our
statutes, as well as those of nearly all
the States, are those relating 70 the
impaneling of trial juries. The idea o:
rejecting an intelligent juror simply
because he knows the current news OF
the day, by having read the papers,
ia a bid tor stupidity. The fact that a
juror does know what is going on about
him should be capitalization to recon-
mend him rather than reject him from
the jury box. The man who never
heard or read of a notorious murder
case, in any given instance, should be
rejected as mentally incapable of
knowing right from wrOng.-IElkO
Chronicle.
Anyone who has paid any attention
to the subject indicated above cannot
hut concur in the opinions OF our CO.
temporary. The strict construction
put upon the law in many of our courts
amounts. simply, to an absur,!i.y-
nothing more nor less. The idea tina:
aman disqualifies himself for forming
AUST and honest opinion in capital
case, as juror, merely because he
owns to having read of or heard of the
the case before, is a proposition which
is ineapableiof beng sustained by any
sound course OF reasoning. In order
tia: the empanelment of juries may
lie rendered a matter of greater facil-
ity, and less encountered by the quib-
bles now too commonly in vogue, the
laws should be rendered less capable
Of Misrepresentation and absurd, I'M
reasonable misappiication.

Shenandoah Valley Railroad.

General Wright, Chief Engineer of the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad Company, arrived
at Front Royal on Tuesday, the 5th inst, by
the Manassas Gap Railroad, and proceeded at
once to inspect the road at that point. On the
following day be, in company with Col. john
ston one of his assistant Engineers and Thomas
NJ. Almond, Esq, one Of the Directors passed
over the line of the road to Luray, and at that
point, the Headquarters of the Company, pro-
coed in connection with the President of the
road and his three Corps of Engineers, to ex-
anime the maps, profles and estimates for that
portion of the line commencing at Shepherds
town, Jefferson County, West Virginia, on the
Potomac river, and extending to point on the
Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, at or near
Salem, Roanoke County, Virginia. He found
the whole distance to be about $50 miles, near
ly straight, low grades, easy curvatures and
light work He was pleased with the manner
in which the work has been expedited, and
more than pleased with the result of the sur
vey, which indicated that the route was one of
the best and most feasible for the construction
of a Railroad anywhere in the United States
east Of the great Western prairies. He left on
the morning of the 10th inst, in company with
Col Splitter, one of the Directors of the Com
pany, to inspect the line south of Luray.-

Adjournment of Congress.

The second session of the fist Congress adj

The War.

The French Emperor and the King Of Prus-
sra. after having seen as loVgerbeads on every
possible question have a; last agreed on one
course-to fight each other. A ft Of i'll hu-
NOR on the part Of the old King gave the other
the pretext he had been wanting, and to graf
ify the spleen of two individuals al Europe is
couyulsel, and the horrors Of a bloody and
sansuinary conflict have already commenced.
The peaSantry Of Germany must have their
vineyards desclated Just as the season for
gathering the vintage draws on, and famine
and bardships Of every kind stare the innocent
and helpless ones who are so unfortunate as to
live along the war-path, in the face. IhoUs-
ands Of widows and orphans viii be LETT
friendess before this strife ends, and their
cries viii rise up in judgement against the
cruel instigators ofs much and such uuueces-
sarv suffering. Why should not the two mo-
narchs who have been growing At each other
for so long at a respectable distance, meet and
fgbt it out themselves, and if each kills the
o,her-wby then elch will receive the salts
faction he desires, and, no doubt, their respec-
tive places Will be filled after their departure.
The general sentiment expressed in our part
Of the country seems to be one Of entire indiG-
ference to thsresult Of the war. While we do
not Join IN the loud and enthusiastic applause
with which the hall occupied by our disuiaei
