KuKLUX PERFORMANCES, are, just now, so
common in the south, that a complete record is
well nigh impossible On the 18th of March, Mr..
W. W. Wheeler, one OF the trustees of Berea
college, Kentucky, being at Red River Iron
Works, in Estill county, was set upon by de.
tachment of the kuklux-klan. He is one of the
most quiet rreproachable aud noffensive men
in Kentucky; but he is republican, and is
trustee of Berea college which receives colored
men as students. Therefore the kuklux gath
cred in the village where he was stopping at
hotel.~'fhey saw him first in the street, and as
sailed him with a dozen pistol shots, none of
which took effect. Afterwards, in the night,
they dragged him from the hotel, pounded him
with their fists, and made preparations TO hang
him; but, for some reason, changed their minds.
Then they stretched him across a log and
whipped him for long time. Finally, they
agreed to spare his life if he would Immediately
leave town. To this he agreed as he had ar
ranged to leave very early in the morning. His
selfpossession and quiet bearing appear to have
saved his life.
At Mariana, Florida, on the Srd instant
Capt. John Quincy Dickinson was deliberately
his place of business to his house. Capt. Dick
inson served honorably, during the war, in the
Seventh Vermont Volunteers. When peace
came he settled in Florida He was a refined
cultivated man, with more than average ability
and rreproachable personal character. He wa;
not active in politics, and sought chiefly to pur
sue his business quietly; but he never concealed
his opinions. Therefore, the kuklux finally
took his life, while he was walking from his
business to his house. Nothing was alleged
against him, and nothing could be brought
against him, save the fact that he maintained
the right of the colored people TO freedom and
education. His remains were brought through
New York, for burial in Vermont; and when
they reached that city, those who had known
him, held a meeting and made declaration of
their feelings in regard to the manner of his
death. We agree with them, that there should
be an effective remedy for such proceedings at
the south.

ing of the republican senator's this morning to
consider Senator Robertson's proposition that
the order of business be so amended us to per-
init action TO be taken this session upon the
house general amnesty bill, the discussion was
conducted under the five minute rule, and was
opened by Robertson in advocacy of the propri-
ETY., justice and expediency of enacting the law
for general amnesty at as early day as posi-
BILE. Senators Sawyer, Sherman, Lewis, Buck
ingham, Logan and Wilson also supported the
proposition for an immediate and favorable ac-
ton on the subject.
Senators Chandler Morton, Scott and Ed
munds opposed the movement at this time, ar
guing that it was inexpedient, unwise and un.
called for. Finally, after session of nearly an
nour, the proposition Of Robertson's was laid on
for this session.

The Tact that there were but two committee hear

An erudite German has lately afforded an
illustration of the fact that profound theological
scholarship is not inconsistent with systematic
disregard of the principles of practical morality.
Many books have been lately missed from the
imperial library at st. Petersburg. The losses
continued in spite of the vigilance of the libra
rian, and some circumstances tended to throw
suspicion upon one Alloys Pichler, German
theoloaian, who was u constant fTequeuter of
the library, where be found ample facilities for
prosecuting his researches among the literary
remains of the early fathers Of the church and
learned doctors of later times. One day, as Herr
Pichler was about TO leave the library, one of
the attendants, with polite and perhaps jIsti6-
able treachery, helped the scholar on with his
overcoat, and, in doing this, took occasion to
pass his hand over his back, where a concealed
volume was distinctly felt. This discovery led
to an official visit to the studious retreat of Herr
Pichler, and there no less than seven thousand
volumes were found, all of which had been
stolen from the imperial library. The venera-
BILE scholar, whose learning in his department is
very highly esteemed by competent judges, had
/ by his misdirected industry accumulated an ex'
cellent working library, and, in justice to his
reputation, it should be added that the books
were selected with admirable taste and judg-
| ment

Mr.. Cullen, the obstinate Philadelphia, who
so strongly announced his resolution to rot

TO be released by writ Of habeas corpus, at last
paid his fine of two hundred dollars, is a barber.

nality against the demorazing Influences
Of his calling. His refusal to serve on the
jury was an act for which he ought
TO be commended rather than blamed, aud the
judge no doubt approved it, although the strict
requirements of the law Obliged him to impose
a fine. In fact Mr.. Cullen was wiser than be
knew. He would probably have assigned
another motive for his refusal; but in the alb
senee OF positive knowledge, it is only charita
BILE to presume that he was unconsciously infu
enced by the conviction that with his absurd
antpathes he was not fit company for the twC
respectable negroes on the jury and that his dis
position to entertain groundless prejudices un
ntted him to render an impartial verdict.

and that when false report of the death of a
famous English barrister had been put in circu-

the seizure of the learned lawyers three best
horses by the lord of the manor. The late Sir
Robert Peel had a collection of seventy-fve val

famous picture, "Chapeau de Paillc," by Ru-

an ancient manor to which right of heriot was
attached and for fear that, in case of his sudden
death, this picture might be taken, he bought
the manor to make his title secure.

The whipping post has been set up and put to
use in Canada, and some of the newspapers there
are rejoicing over the revival of this barbaric in
stttution One Of them gives minute and graph
iciaccount Of the iogging of two boys in Haml-

administered by a strong man with "cat' of
the orthodox pattern, having a handle of oak
about foot long, and nine stout eathern thongs.
The blows were well laid on and cut up the poor
fellows backs fearfully leaving them covered
with blood and gore. After giving this revolving
description, which is too painful to be copied
here, and is not excelled in its faithfulness Of
sckening details by any of the accounts we have
of fiogging as formerly pracrsed in the navy, the
writer eomplacently adds" This is the first case
of lashing under the new law in this city, and
we entertain no doubt that the effect will be most
wholesome as a future preventive of juvenile
