SOCIAL STATUS OF THE KU KLUx PRISON
KRs.-Tbe Bureau of Education at Washing
ton has just made discovery that must
prove extremely humiliating to the higb-toned
captains general and cyclops extraordinary Of
the Ku Klux Klan. The officers of the federal
government charged with capturing and de-
tanning the menials Of the Klan declare that
out of several hundred prisoners not more
than eleven can read, and the ability to sign
their confessions quite the exception. The
great mass OF them are wild, illiterate, despe-
rate characters, to whom education is utterly
unknown, and among whom the lowest phases
Of humanity are clearly and unhappily appa-
rent.

THE ALBANY Journal (republican) does not
seem to like the idea Of coalition of oil the
Dental election, and denounces political coa-
litions in general. II 1t had not been for the
free soil and democratic coalition in Massa-
chusetts in 1850 and 1852, which brought Ben

The New York herald., 1871-11-25

An important case was discussed before
the Frankfort on-the- Main law courts at the
commencement Of the present month. The
Prussian government was the complainant,
and the responsible editor of the Frankfort
Zeitu7ag was the defendant. The bill of in
dictment against the offending editor charged
him with cri.icising the merits of General
Manteufel and Of drawing His Majesty the
Emperor into circle Of discussion and in
fuencing judgment in way insulting to the
dignity Of the latter. According to the jour-
nalis:'s estimate Of ManteuAel, who is credited
with pursuing in the German army o
course somewhat similar to that of General
Caballeros de Rodas in the Spanish army, he
was great favorite at court, and to this fa-
voritism was his elevation over the heads OF
able generals, such as Won Falkenstein and
Won Steinmetz, due. The Emperor had high
opinion Of Manseuffel, which Moltke and Bis
marck could not and would not endorse
Manteuffel was courtier, not soldier This
was the treason which the editor, who, per-
ceiving none Of that divinity which ''doth
hedge a king" uttered in the plainest kind of
language. The State Attorney conducted the
prosecution, and made most of the material at
bis disposal. The journalist, however, was
equal to the task, and contended that he was
doing patriotic duty In The course he pursued.
He believed in his right to criticise even the
Kaiser, who is human and is liable to err.
His Majesty is not infallible, and the Court,
endorsing these sentiments, the editor was de-
clared free. This verdict is an evidence of the
growth of liberel sentiment in Prussia. The
decision Of the Frankfort Court is unmistak-
able. The Emperor, bis ministers or generals
are not above the criticism of the press. In
State affairs, as well as in Church matters, 1t
would appear that the people are gradually
beginning to regard infallible declarations in
somewhat different light from what they were
wont to consider them in former times. 1.-THE
king can do no wrong" was the old proverb;
but in modern days law courts and people
think differently.

General schcnck Superseded M British

General Schcnck Superseded M British
Ministerial silver Mining Project.
Our Washington dispatches bring the in
formation that General Robert Schenck is to
be superseded by Hamilton Fish as Minister at
the Court of st. James. We presume that the
retirement from diplomatic life is voluntary, as
the name of the Minister appears appended to
flaming advertisement, In the London Ec0nO-
mist of silver mining company, and it is spe-
cially mentioned in the prospectus that Gene
raj Schenck has, on account Of the character
of the undertaking, consented to act as one Of
the directors. Possibly this may be an excel
lent enterprise, and the mine may be very
good one. AS to that we have nothing to
say. There are, however, great many
mining companies, with the names Of promi-
nent men to them and strongly endorsed by
scientific men, of very doubtful character.
In fact, whenever there is great parade OF
any proposed enterprise, with the names Of
prominent men attached, there is more reason
to suspect 1t is a grand stock -jobbing scheme
than when the business is conducted quietly
by few capitalists. Wo hope for the credit
Of the country and of General Schenck that
this Is alegitimate aud an unexceptionable en-
terprise. But, in any case, the representa-
tives Of the United States abroad, particularly
the Minister at London, could have nothing
to do with stock or mining companies. Atleast
no Minister would permit his name to be used
for the purpose of giving character to such com.
panies and disposing of their stock. General
Schenck's connection with the company, and
his name being Haunted in the ADVERTISE
ment may have impressed the Court circle
of London, probably, with the idea that the
Minister was using his position for speculative
purposes. The high-toned and fastidious
courters and statesmen Of England will be
apt to talk quietly Of General schencks con-
duct In this matter as Yankee-like and undig-
nifed. As, however, General Schenck is
about to retire, the credit Of tho nation will
be saved, no matter what may become Of the
credit Of the silver mining company. @'-~ i.
