A Striking Exposition.

Hon, Montgomery Blair delivered a
speech in Baltimore the other day,
which is q striking exposition of sls
policy Of Che Grant faction Ok the Re.
publican party, showing il TO be identl
cally that Of the Europeon absolutists.
The policy of the military governments
of the Continent has been to excite ieal-
ousies and alarm among the different
States, thus furnishing them with an
excuse for maintaining large standing
armies, which in turn enable them to
keep their heels On the people. Our
military Administration, assisted by Con-
gress, is doing the same thing. 1t is
keeping alive sectional hatred and dis
trust, and pleading the necessity of IL
large army 10 maintain the peace.
Grant is marching i'll the footsteps of
B%onapartG and William, and, with the
new force bill to back him, holds as much
power for evil in his hands to-day as
they ever did.

Under this heading, the Banner writes
that "DOn Piatt is authority for the
statement that much Of Ben Buffers in

Of his selection, and in their attempt to
prosecute The Mprtnons and get possess
ion Of The valunblemines lately discov-
cred in that part Of the world, they have
been foilod by the difficulties, under the
Constitution and laws, of procuring n
Jury that will sustain the court. Under
the provisions Of this sO-called Ku-klux
bill the old Safeguard thrown about the
Juror nre removed, and the Judge has
the entire selection. He may challenge,
excuse or dismiss, at his own option,
until he procurcs creatures who will look
to his will instead Of the facts and law
upon which to base a verdict. There
never was sech IL fair illustration of
Bcnjamin's mode of doing work as this.
While keeping up II tremendous row

The Mes York Tribune is frank cn-
ough to express its disaptrUbatiUn of
the recent legal tender decision by the
Supreme Court, and particularly of the
means uscd-the packing of the court,
etc-to effect that end. 1t says: "All
this is certainly not calculated to inspire
confidence in the wisdom and Justice of
the new decision Indeed, it is useless
to conceal the fact that public respect
for the highest tribunal in tic land will
be lessened by the reversal of the origi-
nal judgment. Not only will the above
circumstances be quoted III dero8ation

Gen. Sherman on The Situation,


The newspapers state that Gen, W.T..
Sherman who is ON 4 visit of inspection
to the Western frontier arrived in New
Orleans a few days anee, and was given
u reception by the American Union Club
Of that city.
Before accepting the Inequalities of
the club, the General enquired point
edly if the Organization was a political
one, saying if it was he preferred to be
excused He made Il felieitous little
speech, in which he spoke his mGnd freely
in regard to the reconstruction business.
In the course of his remarks he said: ut
has been remarked by some gentleman
who has preceded me, that il was gem
orally conceded by the soldiers of beth
armies as the close of the late civil war,
that if the questions and all matters Of
the settlement of the differences be-
tween the North and South were left to
the armies, it would be settled at once,
and everything would become quiet aAd
orderly: / SO believed, ard beioro sigh
ing the agreement Of General Joe John
son l called together all the Generals
undeHmy command, and without a dis
sentins voice they all agreed with me,
l believed they surrendered in good
fiith, and would have lived up to the
very letter of the agreement, and in my
opinion if there had been no roconstruc-
ton acts Of Congress, and the armies
been left at the time to settle ali Ques-
tons of difference between the different
sections of the country, the people would
have at once become quiet and peace
able. probably have as good means
OF information us most persons in re-
gard to what is called the Ku-Kux, and
am perfectly satisfied that the thing is
greatly over-ostimated and if the Ku-
Klux bills were kept out Of Congress,
and the armies kept at their Legitimate
duties, there are enough good and true
men in all Southern States to put down
all Ku-Eluy m other hands of mnroud-
crs." These are words OK truth and So
berhoss, and could hardly have ema-
mated from II Radical OF mere politician.
Fortunate would it have been for the
country at large had the ideas they
enbody been carried out, instead of the
policy of hate and prescription which
has characterized Radical rule since the
war.

Trigg Yarns the
Grand Jury at Nashville Against
Tbnn

InfOrihcrS-JudgG TrigS YARNS the
Grand Jury at Nashville Against
Them.
On Wednesday morning of last week,
Judge Trigg delivered an exhaustive
charge to the Grand Jury of the Federal
Court at Nashville, on the subject of the
enforcement Of the Fourteenth and Fiji
teenth Amendments.
He warned the jury against taking the
testimony Of a witness who came volun-
tarily forward to testify against other
persons. There were men i'll the coun-
try who, owing to some particular spite
or grudge against their neighbors, would
attemptto satisfy their imaginary wrongs
by presenting themselves as witnesses
before the Grand Jury, with Il view to
putting those neighbors to a great deal
of expense and trouble, and perhaps have
them thrown into prison. Should any
man come before the Grand of his own
v~olition and desire to testify, lie wished
that man sent into court, which would
examine him, and impose upon him the
necessity Of entering his name, and take
upon himself the responsibility of prose-
cutting the case, and then should the
prosecution prove unfounded, he would
he compelled to bear the expense. f
the presentment of the voluntary wit
ness was doubtful, the incumbrance nell
toned ought to be placed uponhim. If,
alter an examination of the court, the
witness should be found to be u suitable
witness, he would be returned to the
Grand Jury for its examination. There
was a class Of men who ought to be
summoned us witnesses, and who, on
account Of their positions, ought to be
relied upon-the revenue officers of the
Countrywide were supposed in the dis
charge Of their duty, to know about the
violators of law. Whenever any viola
ton of law came to the ears of the Grand
Jury they should send for the proper
witnesses. He repeated that should any
man voluntarily desire to inform upon
another, he Should be sent into the court
and let it determine whether he should
go before the Grand jury. He believed
this the safest and wisest course, ut all
events, for the security of the Govern
ment in its principles, and the safest way
to obtain justice from the purest foun-
tains from which it ought to flow. 1t
prevented passion, prejudice and spirit
Of revenge entering into theproocedings
Of the court.

The following extract, which speaks
for itself, is from a private letter from
Mississippi tua gentleman in Cincinnati.
1t found its way to the leading Repub-
liean paper of the city, the Gazette
"Our prospects at present are gloomy.
All the excitement at Washington about
Ku-Klux is based upon falsehoods. No
such organization exists. Peace and
quiet prevail, and this clamor, ruinous
as it is to the South, drivingf from it both
capital and labor, is the effect of base and
unmitigated falsehoods, gotten up for
political purposes, nor for effect on the
elections north than south. No man be-
mving such statements rs are made
would risk his money OF life among us,
while the fact is, that we allow the vile,
slanderous and miserable scum which has
noatcd to thesurface of society, and been
kicked out of the North, to dwell here

The Republican Ku-KIuX,

The New York Sun, thinks that the
first case to come before the United
States Courts, i'll the South, under the
provisions, Of the Ku-Klux law, will
probably be that CT three Republican
otlice-holdcrs in South Carolina.
Some two or three weeks ago the
safe of the Treasurer of Abbeville county
was broken into and robbed of fifteen
thousand dollars i'll money, none Of
which has yet been recovered. The
Chief Constable of the State has sue
ccedcd in tracing the crime to three
brothers maned Guffin, originally North
crn men, bat for sorne time residents of
Abboyille. Ono Of the UuninB is n mem
Der Of the Legislature, another is Pro-
bate Judge of the county, and the third
is Mayor Of the town of Abbeville. All
three have been arrested and arc now in
close confinement in Columbia. The
Chief Constable says he has the most
indubitable proof of their guilt.
1t would be q singular thing if the
Ku-Klux force bill, which, as is claimed
by its trainers, was intended to suppress
disorder throughout the South, should
after all do scenetlGng toward accom-
plishing its purpose, in all indirect way,
by removing the cause of these disturb
ances i'll the persons of dishonest officials
OF scalawag adventures.
