from The Ncg York Post Republican
The Constitution Of the United
States authorizes governors of States
in the absence Of the Legislatures,
to call upon the President for help
in putting down violence.
The supporters of the Ku-Klux
bill acknowledge this, but reply that
the governors of the States are in
sympathy with the Ku-Klux. But
unfortunately for this assertion, the
governors of those States which il
is said are a prey to violence and
disorder, are republicans. Here
is q

Arkansaa--Powell Clayton, Re-
publican, resigned ud l aedej VT

The Origin of Dancing.

Egypt claims to be the inventor
Of dancing, as well as OF the science
of Geometry. The legend ascribes
the honor to Alothus, the Egyptian
Mercury, who, observing that music
at sacrifice naturally moved the
body, reduced the emotions of the
feet as the Apollo did those Of speech.
One OF the most famous Of their
dances was the Astronomical Dance
round an alter, which was supposed
to represent the sun, whilst the
priests around It were the individu-
al planets; their movements were,
as betittod the sacred occasion, sol
cmn and stately. In later and

document has been issued by prominent In
surgents who have lately surrendered to the gov
eminent, and which is signed by the two Recios,
sandivar, several Agueros, three Horros. Belan-
court Melchor Bernal. two varonas and over
thrty-two hundred others OF less Importance. It L.
dated at Puerto Principe and says:-
In the future we will adhere to the throne OF
Spain, and are now disposed TO aid the govern.
ment We have seen our illusions vanish because
the country failed TO support us, and foreigners
failed TO send US aid. The government OF Spain Is
now sufficiently strong to MAINTAIN the integrity OF
the territory.
The document further says that the insurgents
now in the field are mostly negroes under the
leadership OF Ignacio Agramonte, who rebelled
against Cespedes.
TERRIBLE DEsOLATION.
Not a house Is left standing In the whole country
between Las Tunas and Moron, and the desola-
ton that prevails Is terrible. All the hopes of the
insurgents Of succeeding politically have been given
up, and the destruction of the country has been
rapidly gong on. The negroes are working to
make themselves the masters Of the situation, and
are dominant IN the districts lately held by the In
surrect!onlsts.
PROFESSIONS OF PENITENCE
The surrendered insurgents who signed the docu-
ment at Las Tunas, protest against prolongation
OF the fight and consider the salvation CT the coun-
try obtained, and look forward to reconstruction
and early peace. The signers praise tho qualities
OF Valmaseda and his policy to attract the insur-
gents and ask the King to make concessions to the
island after peace shall have been established, NAM
ing as speciality social constitution. The sgners
adure their past errors and believe that they repre-
sent the majority Of their party.
THE WHOLESALE SURRENDER AND ITS EFFECT.
Fifteen thousand insurgents have surrendered
during the past year In the Central Department,
and state. individually and collectively. that they
are ready to perform whatever duty may be re-
quired Of them as good and honest Spaniards.
The Gaceta (newspaper) publishes the document
Of the surrendered insurgents in its edition OF to-

Much excitement Is caused by the untoward in

wholly OF private or social character.
