ELoPEMENTlCUPID AT HIS TRIcKs-A
WIFE RUNS OFF WITH HER PARAMoUR--
For some time past Emanuel Handschin
and his wife have been living near the
mouth Of Yellow Greek, and were getting
along pretty wei III Jn6 HOflOi Ne Deln6
Industrious and economical. But in an
evil moment Emanuel thought to increase
his income by taking a boarder. Accord
ingly, Jack Layer, a knight of the gravel
tram, was soon installed in q comfortable
home, and into the bosom" of a happy
family. Here the mystic god ofloVe COM
meneed his operations, for not only was
Jack pleased with his new home, but he
liked Mrs. Handschin. This liking grew
on Jack wonderfully, and it seems had
some effect on Mrs. Handschin, and on last
Saturday morning, after Emanuel had
started to work, with his dinner bucket on
his arm, the guilty pair packed up, bag
and baggage, and started on their tour Of
bliss. Emanuel came home from work
Saturday night and found a note which
told him the cruel truth. He dispatched
to the officers at Pittsburgh, to arrest them
if they came there, but it is very likely
that the happy couple are quietly eating a
bologna, and slipping their lager, under the
friendly shelter of a free lunch saloon,
while Emanuel is minus a wife and u new
hand Is wanted on the gravel train

On the 18th the Senate debated the
Ku-Klux all day, and had an extra session
for that purpose in the evening. Lengthy
speeches were made by Mr.. Thurman
(dem., o. and Mr.. Davis (Dem., Ky.) in
opposition to the bill, and by Mr.. Bore
man (Rad., W. Va) and Mr.. Sumner
Trad, Mass.) in support of the measure.
In the evening Mr.. Osborn rad. Fla. )ad-
vocated the bill, and Mr.. Sawyer (Rad.,
S. CO. denied the charge Of MIR. Blair that
the failure of reconstruction was owing to
the administration of Southern off,
cials. Mr.. Nye (Rad., Nev.) presented a
communication from Judge Logan, of
North Carolina, saying that he was unable
to hold court for fear of the Ku-Klux, and
asking for troops to protect him in the
discharge of his official duties. Also, the
statements Of a large number of the VIC
Tins (white and colored) of recent whip
pings and s~courgings in Cleveland and adj
joining counties of that State by men
wearing masks. MI. Blair Dem, Mo-
rather took the wind out of this statement
asking for the reading of the proceedings
of q vigilance committee in Virginia City,
Nevada, and various eutrages of a recent
occurrence in that State. and quoting from
the Territorial Enterprise, a Republican
paper Of Nevada, to the effect that within
the last ten years 200 murders had been
committed in n county of that State,
for which but two lives had been exacted
as the forfeit-one by law and one by
violence. Mr.. Stewart (Rad., New re-
piled briefly in defence of his State. Mr..
Wilson Rad, Mass.) advocated the bill,
and Mr. Vickers (Dem., Md and Mr..
Blair Dem, Mo.) delivered speeches
against it,
On the 14th the Ku-Klux bill passed
the Senate with the amendments reported
from the Judiciary committee and two
others additional of an infamous character.
One of these gives any person who estab-
fishes legally the fact that he has been
injured in person or property by the Ku-
Klux the right of reclamation on the prop
erty of others in the county in which he
lives. The other strikes out the section
of the House bill which abolishes the iron
clad oath for jurors. The effect of this is
to deprive nearly every white man in the
South of the right to sit on a jury in a
Federal Court. The House bill, it willb
remembered, proposed merely to exact an
oath of the juror that he had not partici-
pated in any of the so-called cutrages.-
The suspension of the writ of hGbeas cor
pas, by the President, is virtually extern
dsd beyond the Presidential election. The
bill is far more stringent than was origin
ally reported, and quite a number of Re-
publican members declare that the course
of the Senate will not be Endorsed by the
House. 1t is understood that Attorney
General Alderman, with the approval of
the President, suggested the new and
extraordinary notifications accepted by
the Senate. On the final vote the ayes
were As and the nays 19. Messrs. Hill,
Schurz, Robertson, Trumbull and Upton
voted with the Democrats against it.

The Democrats in The New York House

The Democrats in the New York House
Of assembly had but one majority and by
the resignation Of Mr.. Irving of New
York city parties were tied. The repub-
licans took advantage of this to proclaim
they would vote against all pending i'm
portant measures except the appropriation
bills. Things for a week past were at a
dead lock. Finally a republican member,
named Winans, relented and voted with
the Democrats. Thus the following New
York city bills were passed. Winans voting
with the Democrats: To prevent the tax
levy; to amend the act to r~eorganize a
local government to authorize the Super
visors to fix the salaries of judicial officers;
to amend the election laws as to registry.

amendments to the New York tax and

WHAT THE PARIS DEMOCRATS
WANT.

The wishes and demands of the Paris
Democrats in France are becoming known.
The first of them seems to be the estab-
lishment of the Commune, that is to say,
of local self-government in all great cities.
They wish that the people of the cities
should elect their own mayors and munie-
ipal councils, and have control Of their
own affairs. They also propose to abolish
the consumption, or compulsory military
service; to abolish distraint upon furni'
ture for rent, and to put debts for rent on
the same footing as other debts to FIJI all
State offices by competitive examinations;
to make popular education gratuitous and
compulsory to dissolve all connection
between the State and the different chur-
ches, so that the priesthood of every
church shall be supported by their con-
gregations without aid from the public
treasury to make all public functionaries
responsible for their acts; TO make all law
proceedings gratuitous to abolish prosti-
tuition, and TO substitute for all existing
modes of taxation a single tax upon prop
erty which shall be progressive in its ma
ture, so that men Of large fortunes will be
taxed at a higher ratio than those of less
means. The old bugbear OF communism
does not appear in them at all. The trou-
bic is that large majority of the Nation
al Assembly are ~monarchists. OF the $50,
300 of them are legitimists and $50 Or
~leanists and only 8 hundred or so are
really in favor Of the republic of France.
1t may DO that the movement in Par
is inopportune and iljudged, but it
must be remembered that it was the part Of
wise meA to act in time, before a Bourbon
or Napoleon was fastened upon them and
an Immense military host placed over
them.

SENATOR FRANK P. BLAIR has written
a letter to an Alabama editor, in which he
says that the contest, as waged by the
Democrats, sis not to take away suffrage
from the negroes, but to preserve that wise
distribution of the powers of government
without which all Suffrage is but a mock
cry, and to prevent that control by the
national functionaries which is sure to
create Imperialism, and will inevitably
degrade ,impoverish and enslave the toihng

years The salary of a few clerks was cut

full credit.
