Pile to granting state aid TO railroad or other
corporations, who feel, perhaps, that an eXcep-
ton should be made in favor of the two roads
for whose benefit this bill has been passed; that
the sum now asked for is small compared with
the great result Of securing an early completion
of these roads, and opening the Adirondack re-
gion; and that the expenditure of two million
dollars will be soon repaid in the addition in
sured TO the general prosperity and wealth of
the state. We must not, however, shut our eyes
to the inevitable consequence of yielding prin-
cipe by making exception in this instance. 1t
would justify and encourage in the future APP
plications from every quarter for similar aid.
Every road hereafter to be built would expect to
receive it, and the demand upon the state treas
ury would be almost without limit.

FROM QUEBEC.
QUEBEC, June 13.-H. l.. Langevin, secretary
of state for Canada, in public address here, to-
day, alluded to the treaty of Washington. He
tated that the Canadian government had ener-
getically protested to the home government
against the clauses concerning the fisheries. The
reply of the British government was that the in
terests OF the empire required that the commits
sioners should sign the treaty, but that
the right of the dominion to reject
the clauses affecting its interests was
reserved. He assured his hearers that
the Canadian government was perfectly
free and untrammeled, and would show it was
when the subject came before the Canadian par
lament. 1t remained for the imperial govern
ment to show why the Objectionable clauses
should be accepted, and what inducements there
were for Canada to acquiesce in them.

THAT KUKLUX COMMITTEE.
Rev. A, S. Lakiu, Alabama, was before the
congressional kukluX committee to-day. His
examination was continued four hours. He
was for eighteen years member of the New
York Methodist conference, and was sent to
Alabama by Bishop Clark, shortly after the
war, to organize the Methodist Episcopal church
in that state In five years and eight months,
the membership has increased to $4,000, with
twenty travelling ministers. He represented TO
the committee that, in pursuance of his mission,
he had Travelled over the state, but more recent
ly had confined himself to northern Alabama.
Since 1868, two presiding elders have been driven
from their work. two ministers whipped, another
fired on and required to leave his circuit, one
travelling minister killed, and two local ministers
murdered. In nearly all instances, the offenders
were in disguise. Lakin himself was shot at, in
his own house, and also on the highway, and
had been mOlested by the 1ukluX khan. Within
the last two years, Union men were insulted and
maltreated, and frequent murders committed.
Affairs in that state are as bad as ever.
