The Ku KIux Revelations.

The people Of the North, accustomed
to the normal movement of peaceful in
dustrial civilization, are beginning to
awake from their quiet dreams under the
revelations made by the investigation of
the Congressional Committee on the
Southern Ku Klux. We have all cher
ished the hope that not only the organ
lied movement, but also the internal
armies of the rebellion had been over
powered. From this supposition events
are rapidly awakening us, we have not
only the revelation of the bold facts of
the Ku Klux organization in its scope
and audacity, bnt we have also the same
determined Justification of those facts by
the press and public men of the demo-
cratic party which covered the secession
movement Of 1861. This, up to the in
vestigation, availed much in narcotizing
the public conscience and in disarming
a wholesome public apprehension.
We sympathize with the loyal men of
the South whose property has been assail-
ed by the renascent rebellion. Very few
in the loyal states are prepared to appre-
ciate the suffering, or to comprehend the
horrors of the situation in which they
have been placed. Accepting the out
breaks of rebel feeling as the irrepressi-
Bile utterance of confirmed and malignant
disloyalty, all will feel some satisfaction
in its percipitate explosion. There are
tokens Of a healthier sentiment in the
border states. The recent revelations are
damaging facts, but the democratic party
persistently denies and ignores them.
The struggle going on in the South
il between progressive civilization and
reaetionary barbarism. Civilization en-
brAoing broader basis OF fundamental
truth, is now seeking to carry out the
free principles of the American constitu-
ton by the establishment of universal
equality of all men before the law.
Against this contamination the minions of
exploded caste, after gnashing their teeth
ip inveterate rage ever since the failure

selves together into affiliated gangs of
midnight assassins, to drive all loyal men
ont Of their country. The discussions
among republican leaders have at times
seemed to present to this volcanic agita-
ton an opportunity for new eruption.
The true state of the case b as now been
revealed to the American people-through
the constituted organs of the government,
and we cannot believe that with the ter
rible example of the past ten years be-
fore them, the people will permit this
strife of arrogance and massacre of loyal
citizens to longer continue. The people
should give honor to the able committee
for their labors and revelations, which
has spurred on the constituted authorities
to the legal ard military protection OF
the southern people.

From Lake ITemphremagOg TO the
Falls of 81. Anthony.
FIFTEEN HUNDRED MILES IN A GONE
HORSE SHAY"


Rev. Herman Bisbee, pastor of the Uni
versalist church in St. Paul, MINI, has
done something that nobody ever did be-
fore He has driven a one horse carriage,
with five people in it, distance of fifteen
hundred miles-from Lake Mem phrema-
cog to the falls OF st. Anthony.
An uninterrupted drive from the hills
OF Vermont to the head waters of the
Mississippi was certainly rather a formid-
able thing 10 attempt; but to do it with
one horse, and the latter to come in alive
and well, is little short of miraculous.
The reverend gentleman's objects were
two-fold. He wished, "frst, to benefit
Mrs Bisbee's heal h, md, second, to sec
what he could see" He had made the
trip from B ston to Missiasippi by rail
seventeen times before. This he began
to find monotonou5, and so cast about to
devise soG.e variety. The carriage maker
was requested to supply vehicle tn It
would stand rain, or rocks, or swamps.
or dust. or collisions, or any conceivable
power that could be brought against it on
journey to Minnesota, and yet be a car
riace 90 light that one horse could easily
carry in it load of six hundred pounds"
To this the builder m ade the not unreason-
able response that it was not easy to COM
hine orowhar and a cam brio needle, but
that he would do bis best The best ad-
mir ably served the purpose, and ought to
be a first-rate advertisement; for the car.
rage held out as we'll as horse, and the
latter, "a Morgan mare with sprinkling
of French blood in her veins" trotted into
the streets of ST. Paul, after her achieve,
ment, az if she had merely taken q "fyer'
from Central Park to Harlem.
Mr.. Bisbee was fortyfve days on th-
road, and so averaged little more than
thirty-three miles a day. He WIS re-
peatedly assured by experienced drivers
that the feat he had undertaken was an
impos-ibility His horse would break
down in less than a fortnight; the car
riage would be smashed in less than a
week he would never even reach Chic4
90. The iudomitable clergyman's spirit
rose higher, however, for these l.mitous
forebodings. What he had made up his
mind to do, he would, and, like most peo-
pie who really make up their minds TO a
thing he succeeded. 1t is satisfactory TO
know that not only the horse-for which,
under the peculiar circumstan we
should confess to feeling most solicitude
is alive and kicking, but that the whole
party were benefited by their trip. The
expense, Mr.. Bisbee says, proved TO be
the same as by rail, an estimate, we sup
pcso, which omits provisions. These, he
adds, were usually excellent, and he was
surprised to find so many good hotels in
obscure corners of the couutry.-N Y.

THE EPISCOPAL CONFERENCE.-The
triennial convention has taken what Is
practically a middle course on the crucial
question of Ritualism. The pastoral let
ter of the Bishops. read in open session on
Thursday last, fairly states this policy.
While ct the outset it makes feint of
valiantly graphing with ritualiStic pric'
tees and the doctrines they are intended
to expire; S, it soon wsnders into the rhet
oric of compromise and Cancellation. The
only thing it attacks with vigor is mariol
airy, probably because the intercession of
the Virgin and the saints is held only by
the smallest minority of the followers of
Pusey. The bare suggestion of such
do,trre," slys the bishops, sis an indig-
nifty to the one only Mediator and Inter
oessor," etc. The practice of auricular
conf, ssion is also strongly condemned, a.
though private confession in cases of ex.
ceptional guilt is commended. But that
part of the letter which deals with "high
views about trapsubstantiation is far
more uncertain in tone. For instance,
what can be more conciliatory than this
passage:
To argue that the spiritual presence of
our dear Lord in the holy communion of
the nurture of the ,ithful ia such q pres
ence as allows worship to Him thus and
there present is, to say the very least, to
be- wise above that which is written in
Gods Holy Word. For the objects of
this holy sacrement, al therein revealed,
are first, the memorial before God of the
one sacrifice for sins forever and second
ly, the strengthening and refreshing of
the souls of the faithful. Moreover, no
one can fail to see that it is impossible for
the common mind to draw the line be-
tween the worship of such an undeined
aud mysterious presence and the awful
error of adoring the elements themselves.
