THE Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Enquirer says it is esti-
mated that each Ku-KluX witness costs
the country about two hundred and
fifty dollars, and many of them much
more. There are hundreds of radical
FOUNDERS in this city who will swear to
Ku-KluX outrages in all parts of the
South for half this sum. Why not EN-.
ploy them? Their testimony would be
cheaper, and just as veritable as South
ern carpet baggers and scallawags.-

"Pet" Halsted, whose murder in a
house of ill fame in Newark, N. j., on
Sunday, the I'd inst, by another liber-
tine, is the latest sensation, was the pet
of the White House and power be-
hind the throne during the Lincoln
Administration. lie could make and
unmake Generals without regard to
their qualifications and his control over
the Presidential household rendered
him equally influential as lobbyist in
both houses of Congress. He was the
first to make war against General Nc
Clellan and finally prevailed upon the
President to "swap horses" against his
own convictions. He was the gallant
of the female President to theatres,
concerts, circuses, &C., which led to
much scandal at the time, and this un-
becoming intimacy was only cut off by
his disgraceful death; for we see it
stated that upon Mrs. Llncoln's arrival
from Europe recently, he went down
the bay to meet her in the steamer. Un-
like the Lincolns, Halsted was an ac-
complished and polished man, just the
one to impose on simplemindod people
suddenly elevated as they were, and we
trust his sad fate may be a timely warn.

course. 1t revives many recollections
of the Lincoln Administration that had
better be forgotten, but may save us
from another equally as bad. Let Gen
eral Grant Immediately dismiss the
horse jockeys, stock gamblers, default
ers and sporting men generally who
have him in their hands and betake
himself to better company. 1t cannot
be expected of him to make the White
House what it was~previous to the Lin
coin invasion, but he can, if he will,
improve it somewhat by excluding
from it those whose morals are subject
to sharp criticism. lie is now going at
loose at Long Branch forgetting all the
duties of his high office, indulging in
horse. racing, fishing and dissipation
generally, and his best friends (who are
not in Oflice) admit that instead of being
a model for the ambitious young men
of the country he is setting a very bad
example by his mania for pleasure.seek-

ability and impartially. am fully aware there
Is n prejudice existing amongst number OF clti-
zens throughout the county agai nst a man rom
the town OF bloomsbury, but they DO not con-
slider the matter in my estimation as they should.
As we have not had "a commissioner from our
township for "A number OF years, ana as our dis-
trict Is entitled 10 the cand ldnte, think IL no
more than Justice we should have one. And
also think that we are entitled TO more officers
in our township than they are in others, as we
have by far more voters and pay great deal
more taxes than any other township in the
county. i am decidedly opposed to canvassing
the county for electinoering purposes. | think
that every voter knows how To vote without be-
ing leotured by every candidate in the field.
There has a great deal too much of IL been done
in the past, and hope 1t will be abandoned in
the future. And. in conclusion, would say to
my fellow-yoters, that they must not expect to
see me on an electioneering tour throughout the
