The Democratic members of Congress
are now getting virtuously indignant, at
having all the Ku Klnx outrages in the
South laid at their door with such per-
sistency and vehemence as prominent
Congressman are now doing, and so
they have stripped themselves for the
arena, and expect to be able to disprove
the allegations. This is dexterous eff
fort at shifting of the old position.
Formerly the existence of these muir
derous organizations was generally de-
MED, and where this could not be done
their 6endish deeds were palliated, or
defended. The amazing march of pro-
gress has oourged some of the promi-
nent aud somewhat conscientious pro-
digals home, and now instead ofattempt-
ing any further denials or excavations,
they are ready TO tacitly admit the exis-
tence of these atrocities but unequivocal-
ly to repudiate their own connection
with or endorsation of them. This
though feeble, is yet a move in the right
direction, and will serve to encourage
and stimulate the labors of those earnest
men to whose persistent efforts to secure
peace and order, and security for life
and property, 80 much is attributable
DR.. Johnson has said that "where there
is shame there may be virtue" and we
are willing charitably to hope circum-
stances will speedily so inexorably die
tate, that the Demot rite party through
out the country, WI. be forced to "as-
sumo virtue if they have it not" and
be found taking the next forward step of
arraying themselves on the side of law
and order, and striving in common with
every lover of liberty and justice to
maintain and support the majesty of law
and the rights of oil citizens pi 'p." a1,
The sitting of Congress will likely be
prolonged some two or three weeks in
consequence of the debate likely to arise
over Mr.. Shs r,nan's Ku Klux Bill.

r + e, WAsHrNaroN d. @.
The announcement that the commence
ment exercises of the Law class of

the First Congregational Church, brought
a large concourse Of people to that place
last evening. So full was the church
that many were unable to find seats.
Among the eminent gentlemen present
were Generals Sherman and Howard !;
Senators Summer, Wilson, Sherman, and
Warner Attorney General Akerman ;
Representatives Maynard, Rainey, Long,
and Burdette, Mayor Emery, and others
Prayer was offered by Rev. DR..
Chickering, Of Boston. Mass. ]. NJ.
Langston, A. NJ, presented each member
Of the graduating class as he came
forward to deliver his Grafton. These
gentlemen spoke in the following order /:
Mr.. o. w. Shadd spoke upon Popular
Prejndices" as against professors of the
law, and ably defended the members of
that profession from the popular asper-
sions as to. their honesty and integrity.
Mr.. Louis A. Bell treated of Divorce
an d Divorce, Legislation" He argued
that in countries wherein liberal divorce
laws prevail, the condition of society in
morals and happiness is far above that
which prevails elsewhere. ia b.
Mr.. John II. Johnson's remarks
related to Exclusions in Evidence.
He held that to exclude Interested
persons from the witness stand because
of suspicion that their evidence would
not be truthful was reversal Of the
great principle of law that innocence
should be presumed It'll guilt be
proven. -" -''- - - ~
Mr.. Charles II. Thomas spoke of
Trial by jury" expounding its principles
and its great benefits as. q bulwark of

Mississippi seems to be getting in a
fair way to receive similar attention from
Washington. The time has fully arrived
when the national administration should
recognize and feel the importance, and
the weight of responsibility which rests
ON it, to protect the thousands of it's
helpless citizens throughout the South,
who can hope for no justice, no consider
alton, no liberation whatever. from the
old element in it, and who are by degrees
naturally resumingplace in positions of
control and power. Time and experience
have demonstrated the utter tqtility Of
hoping for universal and quiet acqnies-

At the hour designated, carriages and

time it seemed that there would be no
end to their coming. The neighborhood
of the Judges stand presented quite q
lively and animated scene; several ladies
lent their presence to the occasion which
made it oil the more agreeable, if not
enchanting. Several hundred persons
were gathered to witness the race, and
the enthusiasm was occasionally very
great, the most admirable harmony and
order, however, prevailing throughout.
