l rise, Mr.. Speaker, to pay my tribute
Of respect to the passing bier oil tn
dead as it is borne by my door. II Il
one of the most solemn occasions thai
man can possibly be called upon to be
hold. The great Creator has declared
that "by sin death entered into the
world, so that death has passed upon all
men," Hence the decree OF HIM who
brought the world out of chaos, that
g man is of but few days and full Of
trouble. "
But Mr.. Kinds has gone from among
MS. His voice will never again be heard
in these halls or in the popular assem-
blies of his countrymen. BE sleeps
among the silent dead awaiting the great
TRUMP that shall break the slumber OF
the tomb. Born in the State of New
York, his body, as j learn from those
more intimately acquainted with him,
reposes in Hampton Cemetery. There
ali that is mortal of our late fellow-mem-
Der must lie enveloped in the darkness
of the grave till Gabriel shall sound the
last catastrophe of nature, when the
heavens shall grow dark and the founda-
tons of earth be rent asunder. Then
his body shall become immortal, and,
rising above the smoke and desolation
of a crumbling world, shall be Joined
with his undying spirit in the realms
above, to dwell forever with those who
fought side by side with him in the great
battle for human liberty and the we'll
being of mankind.
ROOTS.
The intended victims we're riding along
with the greatest solicitude at the mo-
,nent, with anxious thoughts to reach
the waiting crowd The horses being
differently gated, Mr. Brooks was at the
moment some fifty yards ahead. The
man with grayish suit rode up near, but
very little in the rear of Mr.. binds;
smiling as Judas may have smiled when
he kissed his Lord and Master, he en-
gagged in pleasant conversation. For a
second the three thus rode on, the VIC
tins wholly unsuspecting, and the smil-
ing murderer, with cold-blooded calcula-
ton, waiting for better opportunity to
make sure of both. An illustration Of
the meaning of Democratic peace
resolutions is about to be made.
The same hand which, a few hours
before signed peace resolutions,
now grasps the assassin's weapon;
within a very few feet of Kinds back,
the gun is suddenly raised; Click; click;
hear the triggerf oh, the terrible in
stantl Bang bang, goes the gun. Mr..
Brooks horse, stung with buck-shot,
bounds ahead with a wounded rider,
while the second horse madly leaps for
ward riderless, and James Kinds lies on
the ground motionless, dying. Another
order of the Ku-Klux-Klan has been
executed. Smiling, with fends smile
upon his features, stands the Democratic
assassin. The soul Of another martyr
is sent unshriven before the arbitrator
of eternity. Dying, shot in the back,
lies the Radical Congressman.

KEEPING FRESH MEAT.-The follow
ing from the Rural American, will be
useful to farmers who are at a dis
tance from meat markets: Cut the meat
in slices ready to fry. Pack it in a jar
in layers, sprinkling with salt and pep
per, just enough to make it palatable.
Place on the top thick paper or cloth,
with salt half an inch thick. Keep this
ON all the while. Meat has been kept
perfectly good for three weeks in sum-
mer by this method.

The Sun. who smiles wherever he goes.
Till the flowers all smile again.
Fell in love one day with hashful Rose
That had been bud TIL then.
So he pushed back the folds Of tn soft green hoo
That covered her modest grace.
And kissed her only ns a lover could,
Till the crimson burned in her face
But woe for the day when his golden hair
Tangled her hair in a net,
And woe for the night Of dark despair.
When her cheek with tears was weti
For she loved him only as a maiden could,
And he left her crushed and weak,
Striving in vain with her faded hood
To cover her guilty cheek.

Washington CAronicls quotes the letter

dictments have been found for K1i Kluxl

court in session at that place. These
INDICTMENTS are for offences committed
sinoe the passage Of the Ku Klux ACT by
Congress-, in May last If the Circuit
Court could 60 back! to. i 1858. says the
Chronicle, and take Jurisdiction Of all
the Cases In North Carolina, it would re-
q1ira dozen grand juries to attend to
the business, and 25, 600 to 80, 600 Ku
Klux could be indicted. That would
undoubtedly satisfy the appetite even of
the Chronicle. Even Jeffreys might
have been satisfied with such q holocaust
of victims. But OF what advantage are
Ku Klux laws If they only multiply
offences? As to the 25, 900 or $4,000 Ku
Klux, it might as well be said at once
that everybody in North Carolina and
the South not OF certain political stripe
are Ku'Klux. The law might have been
appropriately designated IAN Act for
the Uniformity Of Parties" That ia
what it means. No doubt there are law
less characters in every community and
OF al parties, and it is quite conceivable

Chronicle admits to have ''little brains,
no education, and less than no oharac-
ter" others, in self-defence. might be
driven to improvise some sort of tempo
rary organized effort at self-preservation.
But as to any association there. whether
called Ku Klu1 or any other absurd
name, having traitorous designs against
the Government, or banded together for
criminal purposes, we have not seen any
credible testimony whatever of ita exist
ence. But any association, temporary
or otherwise, not ayowedly Republican.
which people ia any district may fall
into in the South, it would seem is likely
to be punished now under the oppres-
sive machinery of the 80 .called Ku Klnx

cooperation in protecting themselves
from the depredations Of petty thieves.
