DESPERATION.

Every one knows that the Ku-Klux
Committee was gotten up to make CAPT
tai for the Radical party for the cam
paign of 1872. The miserable tricksters
have not succeeded to their satisfaction
A Washington correspondent writes:
" In the desperate strait by which they
are surrounded, nothing was more well
come than a semi-official statement
through the public press of the senti
ments of the travelling committee,
backed up by the daft statements Of
every old darby who could be induced
to testify to imaginative horrors in the
swamps Of South Carolina. The adj
vance publication (which is contrary to
the instructions Of the committed will
harm the authors Of it much more than
it can benefit them. 1t is no additional
charge against the Southern States, but
precisely the same old story that has
been on the wing ever since the party
first determined that, in order to main
tain its power, it was necessary to
villify and disfranchise the people OF
every section in the South.

THAT AMENDMENT.

The men who inserted the Fifteenth
Amendment into the Constitution over
reached themselves. That infamy reads;
1.-The right of citizens of the United
States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States, or by any
State ON account of race color, or pre-
yious condition of servitude"
Except for participation in the rebel
lion. no human being neutrality-suspicious.
and a citizen, is excluded from the ballot
box. The Amendment was intended to
secure the right of the ballot to the
negro The best men of the South may,
under State laws, be excluded from the
polls, and under the Fourteenth Amend
ment they are excluded from office.
Here is an abdication of power, except
in certain cases, and they are only tenn
porary. The United States cannot deny
10 Hottentot, if he become a citizen,
the right to vote. The only way to get
at him is to prohibit him from becoming
citizen. And this is the mode the
Radicals will adopt to cut of voters,
If it should become necessary to the
contamination of their plans. The
Southern man who upheld the flag
in Mexico may be DISTINGUISHED,
but the Mexican against whom he fought
cannot be if he has gone through the
process of naturalization. As a monu-
ment Of Radical wisdom, this scandalous,
anti-American patch on the old Constitu-
ton is not success. Still it is a part of
it, and appears among the grand provis-
ions of the old time-honored and
heaven-approved instrument as a corn
field negro would among an assemblage
of statesmen, orators, philosophers and
poets of the white race.

Lnrne md LouIne.

English letters say that the marriage
of the Princess Louise with the Marquis
of Lorne was not, according TO late En-
glish gossip, by any means the love
match it has been popularity supposed
to be, and the welded pair are now far
from happy together. Rumor has It
that the Princess inherits her mother s
quick temper, and the two women had
such frequent quarrels that the peace Of
the royal domestic circle was quite de-
stroyed. The marriage Of thePrincessa and
her residence elsewhere being the only
resource in the emergency, a certain
number Of young nOblemen we're selected
and invited to Windsor Castle, and the
Princess required to choose husband
from among them. She obeyed, and her
choice fell on the young Marquis, but
there was no more love between them
than usually attends such business-like
arrangements. The result has been, that
the Princess temper is as bad as ever,
only it is exercised on a new object. The
exclusion Of the Marquis from the royal
circle, and the consequent separation OF
him from his wife on state occasions, is
said to be owing to these eonjugal differ
ences. and not TO any law Of etiquette.
/ Il is even reported that not long ago the
i Queen was sent for, and went down Il
Claremont, the residence Of the younl
couple to prevent a complete rupture

LoSpoN. August "A letter of the
Empress Eugene to the Gar, which has
Just been published in the Paris journals,
alludes to the friendly power which had
expressed desire to intervene in favor
of France after the surrender of Sedan.
That power was Russia. The Emperor
Alexander sent a dispatch to the EN-
press Regent Immediately after the sur
render Of Sedan offering to intervene on
basis of integrity of French territory
Alexander the Second in, the same dis
patch, informed the Empress that he had
earnestly recommended the King of
Prussia to open negotiations for peace,
and not insist on the cession Of French
territory as the disintegration of
France would be dangerous to the
peace OF Europe. The prospect of Rus
sian Intervention was, however, spoiled
by the outbreak of revolution on Sep
TENDER 4th, and the flight Of the EN-
press, which took place few hours
after the dispatch had been received
from Emperor Alexander. Hearing the
news that the Republic had been pro-
claimed, the Emperor Alexander
his protiered Intervention, and
gave notice to the King of Prussia |
that Russia would certainly remain |
neutral. Jules Favre and all the former
members of the Government of Septem-
Der 18th, knew of this dispatch. 1t is
said to have been found after the flight
Of the Empress among the secret papers
Of the Empire, but withheld from publ
cation by the Government Of National
Defense. These revelations are appar-
emily to be made public with the consent
1f the Empress Eugene. The Republi-
Fans, chiefly Jules Favre and his former
colleagues, will probably deny the pro-
posed Intervention of the Car, but the
ruth of the facts related can be COM
)letely established.

The Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Ledger says: There was
no insult offered to Stevenson or any
member of the committee in South Caro-

threw milk at Wallace, with whom he
had a quarrel, and this was all 1t is
probable there will eventually be two re-
ports of the Ku-Klux Committee, one
signed by all the Democrats, and another
by all the Radicals except Poland, who
is doubtful.
