touches OF exquiEitivsness to her face
preparatory TO the marriage ceremony.
IT Is SAD.
The young man had got out OF q lob
and was boarding with a lady down in the
neighborhood Of the Tennessee and Mis-
sissipPi depot. The lady, who is fit to be
the wife OF the best BOnifacs in

that her young bOarder Of parts, whose

would make an excellent husband for her
daughter, who also keeps q grocery of no
mean pretensions In another part Of the

The Kennebec journal says in reference to
the ku-Klux bill: Had the democrats been
willing to cast aside their partnership and
support the bill in conjunction with the re-
publicans, or manifested a decided spirit in
favor of the suppression of the Ku-Klux or
ganization instead of defending it and cover
ing up its crimes, there would have been no
opposition to it in the South and law and order
would at once have resumed sway"
True, every word true! Hadthe bill pass
ed unanimously, or with the approval of the
democrats in Congress and at the North, there
would have been an end at once to the out
RACES committed at the South. SO also had
there been no democrats there would have
been no rebellion, and but for the sympathy
and aid of democrats, the war would have
been ended almost as soon as it began. But
Tor democrats the reconstruction of the South
would have been finished in less than a year
after the close of the war. But for democrats
we should not now have had liquor shop in
Maine; and but for them the debt of which
they complain more than any other would not
have had an existence. We have to thank
democrats for nearly if not qnite all of the
political evils we have. And are the people
going to trust them with the affairs of this
nation in 1872? We should as soon think of
trusting dog with our dinner.-The Sunrise.

THE NEW TREATY.

1t is probable that the terms of the treaty
agreed upon by the Joint High Commits
sioners have been accurately stated in the
articles published purporting to give them.
What those are our readers know. The
claims on account of the depredatons
committed by confederate cruisers which
escaped from English ports are to be sub
mitted to board of arbitration. The prin,
ciple being virtually established that the
English government is liable for such dam
ages, the work of this board is simply ia
ascertain and settle the amount in order to
have ii allowed. Such at least appears to
be the understanding. 1t is even said the

FRIDAY MORNING. May IL, 1871.

General Sherman has spoiled several
columns of laudations in the democratic
newspapers on account of speech which
they alleged he made at New Orleans,
rather doubling the reports OF Ku Kluz
outrages. He says that he never made the
speech, nor anything like it, which makes
a vast difference In his worth according
to democratic estimation. They are not
quite ready to nominate him for President,
but win wait awhile for something to turn
up. The old soldier has wit enough tc
keep out of their trap.

The Philadelphia Ledger says that Eat the
recent opening of bids for goods and supplies
for the Indian Service by the Civilian Com
missioners, in New York, there were two
hundred and thirty-threc bidders, and of these
quite large number were from Philadelphia
merchants and manufacturers, who, under
the old corrupt system of the "Indian Ring"
would have had no chance, although their
goods were the best and their prices accord
ing to quality the lowest" The Ledger then
gives the names of many of the successful
bidders and adds: GAS an illustration of the
advantage to the Government and the Indian
service of the new Indian policy under the
Board Of Civilian Commissioners, appointed
by the President, we take the beef contract
just awarded in New York. The prices now
to be paid for four and half millions of
pounds of beef, under open and honest COM
petition by responsible contractors, are from
e2.74 to 1927 per hundred pounds live weight
The aggregate will cost about $l25, 900. Last
year, twill be remembered, the Indian Office
paid $3.50 per hundred for the same beef.
-Four and half millions at that price amount
ed to $685., 800. On this one item there ia,
therefore, saving of sl67, 500. Similar saw
ings run through all the awards under the
new system as compared with the Indian
Office operations, and besides that the Indi.
ans get articles of good quality and of full
quantity"

The worst feature in the Connecticut
fraud is the endorsement of it by the en-
tire democratic vote of the legislature. Il
was bad enough to vote at the outset
against investigation of the irregularities
which appeared in the returns. but after
the fraud was discovered to persist in OPP
position to Jewell taking his seat was to
60 as deep in rascality as the original bal
lot-box suffer. If anything were needed
to open the eyes Of the people to the de-
moralization of the democracy this mat
ter in Connecticut would exercise salu-
atary effect.

NATURALIZATION OF CITIZENS.

Judge Joseph F. Daily commenced naturalizing
at ten O'Clock yesterday morning In the General
Term room OF this Court. About TWO hundred sons
OF ''The fair land OF Poland" made their appear
ance at an early hour, all appearing very .hungryu
10 become citizens OF this great republic. The
descendants OF Kosclusko were seated in
rows In the court room and anx iously
awaited the coming Of the Judge, and had
the Prince Alexis at that moment stepped
IN he would have enjoyed sight surprising
TO his royal senses, while he would be probably
greeted by some sturdy Polander with the excama-
ton, In broken English, OF 'Alck, how sh dat for
high y On taking his seat on the bench Judge
DAILY at once proceeded 10 make all OF those pre-
senting satlsfa Glory credentials lawful citizens OF
The United States, while those who not legally
entitled MS Honor more promptly rejected.
Some amusing incidents occurred during The pro.
ceedinRs, owing 10 the unpronounceable names or
some OF the applicants, and their poor knowl-
edge OF the English language, which, how
ever. was got over admirably by Mr.. Malone, the
General Term Clerk, who Kept Polish directory be-
fore him on MS desk and extracted every conso-
pant II contained from the book, which he trans
fcrred to his minutes IN legble hand. SO that the
nomenclature OF each may be guessed ct at least.
UP 10 the hour OF adjournment over 800 persons
were naturalized. The Judge Will SIT 10 Thurs
day evening to afford all tue facility necessary.
