Specie Payments.

Ii is now ten years and more since
the Banks suspended specie payments.
and it is nearly six years since the civil
war ended, aud the country, so fer as
human observation goes, is no nearer
specie payments than when the war
ended. Specie is made an article of
merchandise outside Of Wall street. and
a plaything Of the bulls and bears there,
and in all the money thoroughfares of
the country. Sometimes it bears one
premium, sometimes another There is
no specie in return for the legal tenders
authorized by the Government, and
none from the 100 Banks of issue
Authorized by Congress. Our merchants
have to buy gold to pay for. their duties
on imports, while the Government pays
one class Of creditors aud Office holders
in greenbacks aud another class in
specie. While this is true Of the Gov
ernment, all our circulating medium is
iu paper, and all our small moaey, as
ten, fifteen, twenty FIVE, and fifty cent
pieces, are in shin plasters, and many
Of them very wretched, rotten aud dirty
stuff, which the government will not
redeem if note is torn, except ut a
discount which would make even a
Shylock blush. The Philadelphia Amer.
ican, speaking for the Government, is
delighted with this irredeemable paper
money, aud 1,700 of Banks, who sell
their gold to increase their dividends.
also seem delighted at this state Of
things but it is great mistake to say
that the merchants like it, or that it i

the people. Like good many Other
follies, it helps the few and Injuries the

legal tenders, and therefore cannot pro
vide for specie payments, then we may
never again expect to see gold and

that is needed is preparation by the
Government, and confidence, credit and

the work Of redemption at an early day

Senator Blair's Ku-Klux Investiga.
tons and Conclusions.

Weeks ago we said that the public
would be able to get the truth 10 rcla.
tion to the Ku Klux Investigation, only
through Senators Blair and Bayard, Of
that Committee. A dispatch from St
Louis Mo-, of November 2ist. says;
A Republican reporter interviewed Sena-
tor Blair yesterday with regard to his OBJ.
servations as member Of the Ku- Klux com
mittae. which has just closed its investiga.
tons in Alabama ard Mississippi. Mr.
Blair says that the evidence taken at Hunts
vile. Alabama, showed that there existed
wholesale plundering carried on through
the government and individual acts Of
negroes, in consequence of which the people
in many instances were driven to take the
law IN their own hands to protect their
property, by inficting punishment on the
negroes. II was not shown in any instance
that these acts had anything to CO with
politics.
There are many instances of arson, for
plumber or revenge. and great many in
stances OF rape. which were Instantly and
violently punished. Apart from these thin 5
there is no more violence In the South than
in any other part Of the country, Tho i'm
prisonment of negroes does not repress
plundering by them they do not regard it
a punishment; on the contrary the prison
is more comfortable than their cabins and
ii is no disgrace to be incarcerated.
Some three hundred indictments have
been found against whites in the United
States Court, under the Ku- Klux law, on
very fimsy pretexts in majority Of cases
The enforcement act is regarded as arbi
trary and illegal, involving great loss and
expense.

In THE Bowels OF THE EARTH.-
Yesterday afternoon, as Deputy Sheriff
Hess was driving on the turnpike some
two miles east Of Mount Joy, he saw
two men blowing in field Oh the rm
of Mr.. Brubaker, one of them working
with 2 horse aud the other with 3
horse team. While Mr.. Hess was look
ing at the plowmen, the 3-horse team.
with its driver suddenly disappeared.
Not knowing exactly what had happen
ed, Mr.. Hess c lied loudly to the other
plowman, to tind out what had become
of his companion. The man greatly
astonished, hurried to the point whe re
the other had been last seen aud found
that the horses, pillow and driver had
all fallen through thin crust Of earth
into a sink hole about Ia feet deep, 10
which they lay in u tangled position.
Assistance was at once sent for and
with the aid of ropes, tackles and tia.
bers, the horses aud pillow we're safely
extricated.- Lancaster Inquirer.

man reported that he had tIeo thousand
prisoners in South Carolina alone, cap
tured under the Ku-klux act. A de-
bate followed as to the ability of the
courts or OF the General Government to
take care of so large proportion ofthe
population, and general disposition
was manifested to have the arrests
somewhat restricted, aud, if possible,
confined to those aseertained to be &C,
ting in the Ku-klux order. BY this it
would seem that they have not been
