aid aftet changing his religion and
becoming Mahomctan in 1853,
subsequently became military Gov

he succeeded i'll suppfessing the

British and French forces against tho
Russian army, and in the Crimean

Henry Ward Beechcr.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has

tics which for him has always .ud-
den turning. We nro at liberty,
however, to consider that the liberal
sentiments Which he publishes in the
Brooklyn Union nre, until further no.
tice from Plymouth Church, the hon
est and hearty opihions Of the man.
In this he is outspoken enough. He
declares that the six years since the
war have been wasted, that recon.
struction ii failure; that the local
carpet.bag govern mehts of the South
are corrupt, and that official knavery,
incompetence and the elevation of
demagogues and dures to the highest
Offices" marks the gross debasem It
of politics Under which the South is
suffering. Mr.. Beecher denounces
the exclusion of ex rebels from office,
contrasting the character of Southern
representative men now with what It
was before the war; and as for the
policy OF coercion and the recently
enacted Ku Klux bill, he styles the
former au ''impertineuce,' and brands
tho latter as utterly and ihexcusably
unconstitutional. In forcible Ian.
guage he shows that nothing is safo
to Liberty where such outrages upon
the fundamental law are committed,
aud concludes that the Same protext
"wonld justify any evasion or over
throw whatever" These are brave
words, and timely, but willis we well
come them as swe'lipg the voice Bf

ties of 9 Radical Congress, We cannot

Ole Bull,

A New York correspondent writes
Ole Bull is here, experimenting the
completion of the new piano he has
recently invented, an instrument coma
bining the best qualities of piano aud
violin. He is extremely confident OF
its success, and talks more onthusias-
tically about himself than ever-.if
that can be. Mr.. BULBS vanity Is 80
iiinorent ahd abundant that it grows
quite picturesque. He takes It for
granted that he is the most prominent
parsonage in your minds eye, and
diseoufses of himself with saoh ena
gaging grac and lightness that you
presently begin to think SO too. That
he will ever grow old is thing i'm.
possible to imagine; his gray hait
seems thicker every year, his slender
agure in his inevitable black velvet
cloak moro supple and graceful. just
now he is rejoicing in the proud con
ciousncss that on infant Miss Bull
awaits bis paternal embrace in Maine.
With Mile. Nilsson. he is about to
give private concert Mt the house Of
their uountryman, Bricssoh, the inven:
tor, u gentleman who is said to be 30
bashful that he never ventures away
from home until nightfall.

ignorant blacks and whites, who are
both ignorant and vicious, we invite
the very outrages Of which we com.

whole thing.
