GRANT AS A KU-KLUx.

Senator SUMNER has found out at last who
is the chief of the mysterious K Klu4 Khan.
1t is no other than the veritable "HIRAM. the
Tanner" now President Of the United States.
In his recent terrible arraignment Of President
GRANT before the bar OF the people, Mr..
SUMNER declared that "the President had
placed himself at the head Of more pO,O,
eEtt and costly Ku-KLGz than those IN the
South" He further declared that off the
President had been so inspired as to bostoW
on the Southern UnioGists, white and black.
One-half the time in zeal, with personal atten-
ton aud personal iutercession which he has
bestowed upon his attempt 70 obtain half an
island in the Caribbean Sea, our Southern Ku
Klux would have existed in name only. while
tranquility would have reigued everywhere
within our boundaries. Now as desire the
suppression Of the Ku-Klux wherever il
shows itself, aud the elevation of the African
race, insist that the Presidential scheD,e
Ichich iRstGts the kU-KILLE on the coasts of

DEATH OF CHARLES CARTER LEE-Thn
death is announced of Charles Carter Lee. At

Virginia on the 21st ult., in the seventy third
year Of his age. Mr.. Lee wns almost as we'll
known throughout Virginia as his distinguish
ed brothers. General Robert f. and CAPTAIN
Sydney Smith Lee. To tho society Of ,bir,v
years ago the deceased was perhaps better
known. in which his wit, literary nrrHInmen,s
and family connection made him in Virginia
and in the brilliant circles Of Washington.
New York and Boston a leader aud an orna.
ment ofuncommon attraction.
To BE HUNG.-Several months ago the
dead body OF an infant was found in a pond
near Alexandria. The body was taken in
charge by the proper authorities. and an in.
vestigatiOn instituted. which revealed the fact
that the dead child was the issue of Illicit in
tercourse between a negro man named Nevton
Smith. and white girl. It appears that a
short time after the birth Of the child. Smith
called at the house of the girls mother, and
took 1t away. under the pretence Of placing
1t with his relations in the conntrv instead of
doing which he threw it in the pond where
1t was afterwards fonnd. dead. Smith was ar
rested. tried in the Corporation Court IF Al.

Lowe TO be hung.-LeesbWrg Mirror.
ROMANTIC SUICIDE.-Miss Mary Jane
Lowell, beautiful young woman, who for some
years past has been the mistress of John S.
blackburn, pork merchant of Greenfield.
Ohio, committed suicide on the 23d ult.. near
that place. ny taking poison. Blackburn is n
man Of family, forty-live years of age. and his
intimacy with the young woman had created
such scandal among their respective friends
that It Is said they both determined upon sui.
eide. They provided themselves with poison.
and having arrayed themselves neatly, drove
out eight miles from Greenfield, aud went into
u wild wood called Cliff Run. The young
women swallowed her share Of the poison and
died. Blackburn's heart misgave him and
he returned t" the town and informed the
young wOman's friends of the circumstances
aud they proceeded to the spot and found her
body: blackburn, it is stated, has become
h"PeleSsly insane.

Mr.. Fish and Mr.. Motley.

The State papers relating to the re-
moval of Mr.. Motley from the Court,
of St. James are very long, and the
controversy between the Minister TO
England and the Secretary Of State
is decidedly biuer.-Mr. Motley
charges that manner Of his recall was
peremptory, unprecedented, discourte-
Gus, without just cause, and intimates
that he was removed in order to punish
his friend Senator Sumner for opposing
the San Domingo question. Mr.. Fish
declares that Mr.. Motly exceeded his
instructions, and, indeed, directly vio-
lated them. His positive instructions
were these:
First. HE was directed to say to
Lord Clarendon that this Government,
in rejecting the recent invention,
abandoned neither its own claims nor
those of its citizens, nor the hope OF
an easy, satisfactory and friendly set
tlement Of the questions pending be-
tween the two Governments.
Second. He was further instructed
that in his private and social inter
course, as well as in his official conver-
sations, when it should become neces-
sary,h he should place the cause Of griey-
ance of the United States against Great
Britain, not so much upon her issuance
of the recognition of the insurgents
state of war as upon her conduct un
der aud subsequec. TO such recognition
1t was left to his discl eticn to touch
upon other points. He is then accused
Of threatening England, of instrncting
Earl Clarendon in his duties of max
ing grave diplomatic blunders, of re
fusing to resign when invited, of mis-
representing The Presidents views, an,
using language in his correspondence,
with the British Government tending
to make hostile feeling between the tive
nations,
1t is too soon for those who have NJ
craftsmanship in this unfortunate quar-
rel to make decision in the case Ii i
plain that Mr. Motley devoted himsel
to his difficult mission with energy anC
intelligence, and that he had but on
purpose-that to properly serve hi
country. OF Mr.. F@h's foreign polic,
we have never had a high opinion, ,anC
therefore are inclined to believe tina
Mr. Motley will not lose the confdenci
of the public. But, however this MAJ
be, the question is not who was sub
stantially right; it is whether Mr.. Mot
ley obeyed his instructions, and car
ried out the weak policy of Mr.. Fisl
with the proper degree Of timidity. l
he did not, if he allowed his own judg
ment to govern his actions. it may
have been perfectly proper for the Ad
ministration to remove him. Thai
subject the Senate will examine, and
the other question is already pretty
we'll settled by public opinion.-Phiia

The Pres on the Governors Message.

1t is an elaborate and exhaustive
document, touching on every topic in
which our people can have any interest,
and contains a vast fund of intorma-
ton for the Pittsburgh Gazette.
The message IS voluminous and in.
teresting document. At the outset we
have highly satisfactory statement of
the States finances. Since January,
1867, the public debt has been reduced
Sc, ,592,7 ,74IS7 or at the rate of 81 ,643,-
1917 year During the year ending
November 30, 1870. the reduction was
s1,702,8T9,05. The present State in
debtedness of every description is $751;
111,76l.90. To meet obligations fall.
ing due, the GoveVnor recommends that
the Legislature authorize the Commits
sinners of the Sinking Fund to sell
call the assets that may be in their
possession, amount to $500, 900. This
applied to to its liquidation, the debt
would be S21 800, 900, to liquidate the
whole of which at the present rate
would require only eight years. The
Governor wisely suggests that this rate
may be considered too rapid as well us
unnecessary, if not oppressive; that
taxation to such an extent, which is
mainly borne by our corporations and
the manufacturing industries, may
have an injurious effect, and the opin-
ion is exposed that it can be safely
eased off, so as to reduce the debt at
the rate of s1,O00,000 a year.
As a whole, it is document OF
marked ability, aud eyeen boldness,
extremely we'll written, and cannot
fail Of arresting, to an unusual degree,
the attention of those who take an in.
terest in public aiiairs.-Pttsburgh
Commercial.
The remarkable passage in the mes
sage of Governor Geary of Pennsylva.
MIA, on the subject of the employment
of troops at elections, is mainly re-
markable for its resemblance to the
kindred utterances of Governor Hoff'
man. That the presence of troops is
desirable nobody claims. That it was
desirable in Philadelphia, was, per.
hars, a subject for consultation be-
tween the Governor and the President
hardly for discussion in this message
N. Y Tribune.
The message is well adapted to pro
duce a favorable impression both in
the State aud country. The Governor
has been fortunate IN avoiding ex'
tremes, and success in taking gener
ally popular view Of subjects treated
upon. Even Democrats will find il
hard, We think, to severely criticise The
views, whether local or iational, do
mestic or political, of the message
There are questions raised which might
have been more throughly treated, bu
inasmuch as the chief aim of n State
paper is to commend various topics tC
the attention of those to whom it il
addressed, perhaps brief expression
of sentiment, without elaborate argu
.as"t, = tle bester ~0ssTsv.--I 1 'tttSoaTyf
