Trembling at n Shadow.

This strange story is told by the CinGn-
natl Gazette:
Alexander Martinotf emigrated to this
city from Riga, Russia, about year ago,
bringing with him his wife. He is German,
speaking Russian, and has been reading of
the Ku-KluI in the German papers. A
popularity about the pair is that when they
arrived here the wife wore mans clothing
passed for man, and worked as a man in a
tailor shop. Not long after their arrival,
she donned her proper attire. Alexander
worked as painter until about four months
ago, when he took to cigar making within
doors, refusing to come out of the house all
this time through deadly fear of the Ku-
Klux, which be imagined swarmed the
streets. Yesterday he had occasion to change
quarters. He employed an Irish drayman
to move his goods. When the work was
done he was unable to pay, and was ar
rested and taken to Bremen station. Here
the story of his ungrOunded fears came out.
He was released, and the drayman was sa-
tsfed through the kindness of the poor
mans friends. He has, in the terror under
which he trembled, written several letters
to the Russian minister at Washington, ask
ing means to be sent home, but has received
no answer. On other subjects he appears
entirely rational.

Payment of Interest on Registered Bonds.

The plan announced by the Secretary of
the Treasury for the payment of interest on
the new registered bonds, it is thought, will
make the new loan more popular than ever
among those holding registered bonds issued
under former acts. There are upward of
fifty thousand holders of United States
registered securities recorded on the books
of the Treasury Department, and the semi
annual interest made payable only at the
Assistant Treasuer's can only be drawn by
the party owning the bonds through a
power of attorney; therefore, if parties re-
siding any distance from the sub-treasuries
desire to obtain the interest due they are
subjected to the expense of visiting the
places where they are located, or pay some
bank for the trouble of collecting it. The
interest on the new bonds is made payable
quarterly, and to avoid the annoyance as
well as inconvenience of the present sys-
TEN, Secretary Boutwell, has determined to
adopt the plan promulgated recently. While
it offers additional inducements to parties
holding five-twenties to exchange them for
five per cent bonds, it will at the same /. re
be saving to the government in paying
the quarterly interest.

German Immigration.

The New iberia Sugar Bo,ct says:
Mr.. G. Dubroca, of st. Mary, who has
two or three intelligent Germans on his
plantation, informs us that they are in con-
slant correspondence with many of their
friends and relatives in Germany, all Of
whom express strong desire to come to
Louisiana to live. Mr.. DubrOca intends to
make arrangements to receive number as
tenants, allowing them to work in man
ner to those working on the Grevemberg,
De la Houssaye, Fay and Hudson planta-
tious; and if such inducements are gener-
ally held out to these industrious and pros
porous people, with promise of being able
to purchase land as soon as they accumu-
late the means, in a few years the sugar
region of Louisiana would become more
productive than ever heretofore.

The Washington special of the st. Loui

The Washington special of the st. Louis
Democrat says:
Patrick McGinnis, the would-be President
of the United States, taking advantage of
the temporary absence of the present in
cumbent on his Western trip, made raid
on the White House yesterday with the
view of taking forcible possession of that
goal of all ambitious Americans. This is
the same individual mentioned heretofore
in these dispatches, who endeavored to in
stitute legal proceedings to recover posses
sion of the White House and all its appur
tenances, from which he claimed to have
been wrongfully dispossessed by General
Grant.
Heretofore his vagaries have been looked
upon as harmless to all but himself, but this
last violent outbreak made it necessary for
the authorities to take him into custody.
A medical examination to-day demonstrated
that the man was insane, and he was
therefore sent to the insane asylum.

The Charleston News on the Democratic
Address.
Special to the Chicago Tribun

Especial to the Chicago Tribune
WASHINGTON, April 26.-The Charleston
Ne,cs, Just arrived to-night-one OF the worst
e-eating organs in South Carolina-in
commenting upon the Democratic national
address, concludes as follows: at is our
duty to obey the laws, to recognize the
practical privileges conferred upon the
freedmen by the State and federal constitu-
tions. and above all, to give no excuse for
declaration that conservatism and De
mocracy are other words for riot and revO-
luton. Governor Scott told the truth when
he said ku-Klux outrages only unite the
radical party, and the address of the De-
mocratic congressman points out the impera-
tive necessity of retraining from playing in
to the hands of adversaries. This is potent
for harm to South Carolina. The conserva
tives cannot insure the success of the Demo
cratic party in the presidential election, but
they can go tar to make certain its defeat.
ku-klux outrages here mean radical ma
iorities in the North. We must possess our
souls in patience. We must bear our ills in
silence, remembering always that this people
stand pledged to maintain the lawful privi-
leges of all races of men, and that, besides,
every rash act, every violation of law for
political reasons, is deferring the dawn of
the blessed day which shall see the white
man and the black man, throughout the
land, secure in the enjoyment Of true free
dom, coutentment and peace"

The people of the parishes of Terrebonne,

trict attorney.
On Saturday last, the twenty-ninth III
timo, the Governor appointed Colonel Tay-

Il is like many other acts of Governor
Warmoth-satisfactor Our anxiety TO in

appointed judge precludes us from saying
more in this, our extra. We will give in
our regular issue this week our relative
opinion of the legal, political and social
standing of the appointees. Suffice it to
say, that the people of this new district are
blessed with an impartial judge and attor-

From the Macon (Georgia) Union-J
We learned late last night some of the
particulars of one of the most sickening,
atrocious, and vengeance-invoklng crimes
that ever stained the annals OF this or any
other community calling itself civilized.
The facts seem almost Incredible, but they
come to as in such shape that we cannot
discredit them. The victims name was
Adam Sekob an inoffensive, worthy man, of
French descent, living in this county, about
six miles from this city, and against whom
we have never heard aught except that he
was charged with being a member of the
Republican party.
About eight o'clock squad of ten men,
all mounted and masked, rode up to Sekohs
house and called for him, alleging urgent
business as their excuse for wanting to see
him at that late hour. He did not suspect
anything, being, so far as he knew, on good
terms, generally, with all his neighbors;
but his wife became alarmed, and urged
him not to go out. He finally concluded to
see what they wanted, however, and open
ing the door, was instantly seized, a pitch
plaster clapped on his mouth, his arms
bound and he thrown into light spring
wagon, which, with the horseDen, set Oft at
full gallop. In few minutes a swamp was
reached, and his captOrs dismounted, and
tying their horses, plunged into its recesses,
guided by the faint light of the moon.

of the swamp, and there unbound the pris
oner, and proceeded to strip him naked.
Each member of the band then gave him
fifty lashes with cowhide that had been
well soaked in brine, until he was insensi
bic. Then came the skinning and the
browning act Of this awful drama.
But our pen refuses its office. We can
not 60 on. The subject Is too horrible for
human thought to dwell on or human
tongue to speak of We forbear in very
pity to our readers. In our next issue We
may summon up courage to give further
particulars.
We understand Mr.. Sekoh was warned
just one year ago to-day that his life was
in danger, and that he had better leave the
country, but as months wore on and meth
ing came of the warning, it had almost
passed from his memory. Mr.. Sekoh, we
understand, has large famil y connection
throughout this and other Southern States,
but no relatives in this section. What a
terrible fate for a human being, and espe-
cially one with so much to make life dear,
to meet. We trust all the powers and re-
sources of law will be invoked to hunt
down 1nd exteFmiHate his Inurderers-

or wanted. This was the experience of
Mrs. Hugh Madden, who caused the arrest
of Sarah Ferbie as the thief, through Cap
tain Cain, who had taken the case in hand.
There was sufficient evidence to authorize
Recorder Houghton to send the accused to

the same direction as receiver of the stolen
property. Both of the accused have an in
