Letter from Petersburg.
PETERSBURG, June 3, 1871.


TO the Editor of the State Journal
1t has generally been believed that we
have no Ku-Klux- Khan in Virginia. am
free to say that | am one of those who
have been of that opinion. There has been
no need of it here, for the Democracy
have been enabled to Ku-Kux us pretty
effectually through the legislature and its
courts. Both have not hesitated to use
the enormous powers assumed by and COIL
ferred upon them, to outrage the rights of
the loyal people. "a
But it seems we are to have a taste OF
the real Ku-Klux in Virginia. A promi-
nent Republican in Sussex county, recently
received letter which contained a rnde
drawing of a man suspended from a gall
lows by rope, with coffin at his feet.
Underneath was inscribed the words
"Your politics are Objectionable p
have information from reliable source
in Surry county, that two or more good
public schools have been opened for the
white children in that county, but not a
public school as yet for the colored chill
dren. This matter has once been brought
to the attention of Mr.. Ruffner, the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction, and
he promised to investigate, and enforce
compliance with the law. Il would be
we'll for the school authorities of Surry
county to be made to understand that the
law says there shall be no distinction be-
tween the races, but the schools shall be
''under the same general regulations as to
management, usefulness and efficiency"
Mr.. Ruth passed very restless night
last night, but he is much more comfortable
to-day, and his physician speaks little
more encouragingly Of him. His condition,
however, is extremely precarious.

HANDSOME SEWING MACHINE. We have
lately visited several Of our sewing machine
establishments, most of them having handsome
ones from the different factories; but on yes.
tsrday, We saw in the wagon of one Of them,
the handsomest sewing machine of any we
have yet observed. To attempt perfect de-
scription of it, would be failure. Its shape
was exactly in accordance with our notions OF
what perfect one should be. Its form was
that Of a young lady, handsomely dressed
with pair of beautiful black eyes, and an
exquisite lot of natural curs. In fact, it was
the kind of sewing machine we were accus
toned to when child-a young lady. We
the polite agent informed US that it was no,
for sale, having been reserved for himself.

AN USELESS APPEAL The Enquirer of
this morning earnestly appeast to the old
concern of Council to stop and see if Sc, 900
will not effect for which they now propose
spending $4,000. To reflect would be too late
for the purpose of fixing up "job" by the
old, as the new Council will take its place the
LIST of July. Oh, no 1t is impossible to ex-
have to sell the bonds, then somebody will have
to be paid big price for the work of supply
ing Church bill with water, and as somebody
would like to make just few more dollars
before they go out, we imagine the Enqairer's
sensible advice will be left unnoticed.

THE LATEST NEWS
BY TELEGRAPH.


HIS OPINION OF THE TREATY--THE CUBAN
oUEsTIoN-THE CABINET.
Washington, June ga reporter of
the New York Herald has interviewed
General Grant on the subject Of the treaty.
He makes the President say that the
treaty is perfectly satisfactory to him, and
that it was either this or war, though he
thinks if be could have had his own way,
he could have done better. Every article
was submitted to him and approved BY
him, and each article was also submitted
TO the ministers of the Queen, costing
great deal of money for telegraphing. The
Queen, beforehand, pledged her signature
to the treaty. Gen. Grant, therefore, re-
CARDS the treaty as practically ratified.
On the pecunary question involved, the
President is sure the House of Representa-.
tives will act periodically, and says the
treaty must be ratified and made a law by
both nations. 1t is necessary; the neces-
sity is immediate. le
General Grant would have liked better
terms, but there were two parties to the
bargain. 1t was, however, settlem ent of
an Irritating question likely any day to
bring the two nations into armed conflict.
Settlement or war were the alternatives.
The pith Of the thing is In the avoidance
of war.
The interviewer makes the President
say, regarding Cabinet changes, that there
is not one word of truth in these state
meuts. "Mr. Fish will not leave the
Cabinet with my consent during my adj
ministration. There has been no recent
discussion in Cabinet regarding Cuban af-
fairs; there has been no change regarding
Cuban policy. We are mindful Of our OH
legations to friendly nations. The condi-
ton of affairs in Cuba does not seem to
demand action on our part" s-
The interviewer makes President Grant
say, in conclusion, that time heals more
wounds than medicine, and patience is
very good specific.

count of which he has been retired. He is a

'smORE SACK"

This is favorite game with school-boys
it is played by catching one of their
number, throwing him upon the ground,
aud as many as can. getting one on the
other, until the bottom one is almost
smothered. The one next to him, suffers
nearly as much as the one beneath him !;
50 on, until there is but one who really
enjoys the game, and that is the one on
top. We have seen strategy played even in
this little game; for instance, boy who
has been pretty we'll squeezed once, fights
rather shy of the party, but is entrapped
by one of them lying down, the rest of the
crowd around him crying "more sack"
"more sack" until the shy one comes up to
enjoy the sport, when he is nabbed and I'M
dergoes the tortures Of another sacking.
We see this game being played in our
midst every day. Poor old gentleman,
jeff Davis is on the ground, and every
body is crying "more sack" "more sack. "
The Enquirer is next to the bottom, the
Wing next, and the Dispatch on top,
there's where you may bet you'll always
find it), no matter if it does say frequently
the bottom rails on top
See these young gentlemen, how they
are kicking up their heels, yelling and
screaming, because the poor old gentle
man wishes to speak the truth, which is
in him. Shame on you, chivalrous youths,
who but few years ago, praised him as
the great leading spirit of the age, as the
exponnder Of Southern faith, as the man
who was bursting the hearts of our people
by taking his habitatlon in them.
You who would have torn from your
shoulders your best trimmed mantles and
cast them in the dust that he might not
soil his peecious feet, you who declared
him martyr, you whose proudest privi-
lege was to tip your hat to him in recog-
milton, you who declared, that we who
denied his Deity, should be burned as
infidels, you who sent your armed bands
in search of the Unionists of Virginia,
who declared that JEFF. Davis was no
more than man, you who have been
guilty of all these things, to now jamp
on the poor old gentleman, yelling "more
sack !" "more sackl' ought to be heart
lily ashamed of yourselves.
But, stop an idea just taps us perhaps
now after all, we are the boy they are try
ing to catch, when we will be invited to
take Mr.. Davis position, and he climb to
the top. We shant join you yet, but will
stand off and look.
Perhaps this little programme was al.
ranged when Mr.. Davis, Gov. Hoffma n
and others engaged in their several "phz-
zles" At all events, we shall keep our
eyes wide open and let you go on squeez-
ing the old gentleman, certain that if there
is anything in him you will bring it out.
KETTLE CALLING PoT BLACK. Andrew
johnson remarked few days ago, chat
JEFF. Davis was doing Democracy great
harm by his foolish talk about the lost
cause, &c. If jeff. could be interviewed
about this time he would pronounce Andy
the fool when be talks about reputation.
We think they are pretty pair but yet
honestly express the sentiments OF their
party. This reminds US OF the eonvicss

A MOST PAINFUL ACCIDENT
Thursday afternoon, while Mr.. Theo. Evans,
moulder at Messrs. Talbot & Sons foundry,
was handling ladle of molten iron, he acct.
dentally struck against something in his way,
which caused the ladle to turn in his hands
and empty its contents on one of his feet a
portion of 1t running into his shoe. The agony
and suffering of the unfortunate man is past
description or imagination; for upon taking
off his shoe the flesh from his foot, wherever
the hot metal had touched it, dropped off in
large fakes. As soon as possible he was taken
home and received medical attention, but it is
feared that his burns are of so serious char
acter as to necessitate amputation of the foot.

NOTHING gives us more pleasure than to
greet an old acquaintance after a long separa.
ton. We had the pleasure Of seeing our old
friend Captain Finks in the city yesterday, who
for fifteen or twenty years was conductor on
the now Chesapeake and Ohio Road. He was
one of the most popular conductors we ever
knew, because he was kind and polite to every
body, and unlike many of the present day
ones, never imagined himself the owner of the
property under his control, as we'll as the pas
sengers He has been quite sick for some time,
but is rapidly recovering. We hope it will be
the pleasure of the managers of this road to
secure his services again, soon as he is fit for
daty, thereby gratifying his many friends,
who are patrons Of the road.
