RIGHT TALK.-In speech in Steinway
Hall, In New York recently Wendell Phil
lips declared that he approved Summers
San Domingo policy, and regretted the
insult offered him. There is.still, he said,
a state of war in the South. Let Gen.
Grant lay hand on the leaders in the
South, the men who count their acres by
thousands, and are the instigstors Of the
assassinations, and you will never hear
Ku-Klux again. Let the towards Of Car.
olina know that the President is terribly
in earnest, and that will be the end Of the
Ku-Klux. This is one of the speeches
which the democratic journals will forget
to make extracts from.

The Treaty Ratified.

After due deliberatiou, the United
States Senate ratified the treaty of Wash
inston, framed by the Joint High Com
Mission, at ten minutes of eleven o'clock
on Wednesday evening, by a vote OF so to
70, all amendments being rejected.
The Washington correspondents assert
tn It II final vote might have been reached
at AN early hour in the afternoon, but the
Democratic Senators had caucus and
evidently decided that they might make
political capital out of it by the introduo-
ton of succession Of amendments, each
supported by few remarks. So conf
IDENTIFY was it expected that the final vote
on the treaty would be taken in the after
noon that the President, accompanied by
Secre tary Boutwell,, visited the Capitol to
b. at hand, in case the Senate might de-
sire to close the session in time to take the
evening train.
The Senate went into executive session
a. few minutes past ten o'clock q. m, to
consider the treaty. Among those who
made speeches were Senators Morrill, of
Vermont, Corhett, Vickers, Thurman,
Morton and Kelley. All amendments
were voted down by large majorities, and
the treaty was finally ratified about eleven
o'clock 2. m. The injunction of secresy
has not yet been removed from the vote
in detail. The Senate then adjourned
until Thursday, when the business of the
session will be completed, and final ad-
jourument be made.
The thoughtful men of all parties will
acquiesce in the ratification of the treaty.
Had vote been taken a day earlier the
English Commissioners, who sailed for
home on Wednesday might have carried
with them the assurance that their labors
were successful, and meet the appreciation
of the American government. The Lon
don Times of Wednesday stated that the
treaty WAS regarded with favor in Eng
land, and that the settlement of the
Alabama claims by a commission was hon.
orable and realized the object of both
countries. Thus has the the treaty been
practically ratified by 10th countries.

RESTORED TO HIM.-Several days
since, boarder at the Bates House had
the misfortune to find some of his valua-
bles in the form of jewelry missing from
his room, which he made known, and put
an advertisement in the HERALD that il
returned no questions would be asked. A
few days after, his ow-boarders discov-
cred to their surprise that one had lost va
rious articles, including a suit of clothes,
and another portly gentleman an unmen-
tionable undergarment, which was evident
ly too spacious for ordinary mortals but
no clue was at hand as to the perpetrator
of these petty burglaries. Last evening,
however, the first sufferer was made the re-
cipient of various small but costly articles,
to make good his loss. His fellow board
ers having assembled in the parlors of the
hotel, the gentleman was invited in, and
after a friendly chat he was addressed by
a gentleman present in the language of
friendship and sympathy, assuring him
that Ia all the misfortunes of life, the
faithful man ever found friends to symps-
thize with him IN the hour of trouble and
that in his recent af1iction he had the
kindest remembrance of his fellow-board-
ers, who had thus assembled to surprise
him, not, perhaps, by the restoration of
his lost jewels, yet to make good to him,
so fr as possible, the articles that bad
been so surreptitiously taken from him.
He was then presented with package
combining valuables, resembling as near
as con'd be remembered, those he had lost.
They were received with a grateful &C
acknowledgement of his appreciation Of the
sympathy Of his fellows, saying that the
shirt-studs, bosompin and badge of a
society of which he is an honored member,
would ever be held by him in reverence as
token from his large circle of friends. 1t
was very evident that he fully appreciated
the occasion and the gift, asking "no
qaestions," but came down in good style,
fully convinced that the lines had fallen
to him in pleasant places"

THE KU,KLUx.-If the frequent MUIR
ders and other gross crimes committed in
the Northern States were the result of or
ganized resistance to law, as they so fire.
quently are in the South, the provisions
of the Ku.Klux bill would be equally ap-
pltcAble 10 10th sections. But this act
takes no notice cf ordinary offepses 1t
leavts TO the local courts the punishment
e isolated and merely personal crime 8.
Ouly when bodies OF men band themselves
together to overawe the civil authorities,
screen the guilty, or aid in their escape,
it's provi-ions take hold and warrant the
action of the national forces, and this up.
on the ground that these acts are in fact
rebelious, however cloaked under other
Ruises. So simple distinction ought to
be plain enough to the mind of every one
but it has never yet penetrated the brain
of Democratic editor. To them every
criminal act, the result of personal re-
venge or sudden passion, is classed in the
same category with organized rebellion.

ANOTHER FRAUD.-Mr. Leonard Gill
son some six months ago bought OF one
Bowen patent right for fence, paying
therefor 5000. and gave his note for the
amount. The note has passed through
several hands since until it came to the
hands of Mr.. Potter of Middlebury, who
presented it to Mr.. ellison for payment.
Mr.. G. claims that the note presented by
Potter is not the note be gave Bowen, and
consequently is forgery. Potter sued
ellison to appear at Middlebury, and at
tached property. Then ellison gets Pot
ter arrested by the State for forgery, and
he was tried last Monday, though without
concluding, the trial was adjourned until
the 10th, to give the State time to pro-
cure more evidence, The deed which
Gibson holds has conditions in it about
the sale and payment, which he says were
in the note he gave Bowen, but these con-
