There may he agr.at deal of wickedness
and corruption in the world; but the gene
ral outpouring Of sympathy for the unfor-
tunates of Chicago, not in words only but
in dollars, shows that there is yet a vast
amount of the milk of human kindness in
the corrupt hearts of the children of men.

rivers Of blood, has confounded and degraded
whole countries, has shaken the beautiful
organic architecture of the elder Church, and
has begotten, fed, and sustained the worst
abuses in the Church.
Finally, as a citizen, must put it away
from me, because by the claims on the sub
mission of States and monarohs, and of the
whole political order under the Papal power,
and by the exceptional position which it
claims for the clergy, it lays the foundation
of endless, ruinous dispute between State and
Church, between clergy and laity. For
cannot conceal from myself that this doc
trine, the results of which were tho ruin of
the old German kingdom, would, if govern
ing the Catholic part of the German nation,
at once lay the seed of incurable decay in the
new kingdom which has just been built up.

Washington March 2O) Dispatch to the New York
Tribune
Mr.. Charles W. Farmer, of Column
bus, Mississippi, arrived here this morn
ing on his way to New York, where he
formerly resided, having been com
PEELED to leave that section by the Ku-
kluX. Mr. Farmer has resided in Mis-
sIssippl for the past two years. During
the most of this time he has been teach
ing colored schools. At the time of the
outrage he was teaching about seven
miles from Columbus, having been en-
ployed by the County Superintendent of
Education. For several weeks before
Mr.. Farmer was visited, there had been
many cases of whipping in the vicinity,
and among those whipped was leading
colored Republican, James Hicks, who
received five hundred lashes Two
white men, Seaton and Reynolds, both
Northern Democrats, were arrested on
trumped up charge of robbery, exam
med before jury, and at onced dis
charged, and thereon seized by the Ku-
klux, and whipped to the extent of
five hundred lashes each. One Of them
has succeeded IN getting away, and the
other remains for protection in the coun
ty Jail.
Twelve days ago Mr.. Farmer was
aroused about nine o'clock at night by
a colored boy, who told him that the
white Riders" were coming. He
lived in the school building, which is On
the land of a colored farmer. Dressing
hastily he went to the door to find a
band of fifty masked men, 2 score Of
whom levelled guns and pistols at him.
lie was asked his occupation, birthplace.
why he wanted to teach colored schools
etc., and was finally told that he must
leave the state within ten days. the lead
er of the band informing him that they
had determined that no negro schools
should be opened in that state.
They were determined that the money
of Southern gentlemen should not be
used for that purpose. Mr.. Farmer
was then seized by the head, thrown to
the ground, and held there until fifty
lashes were administered to him, . the
marks OF which he still bears. The Ku-
klux then left. Mr.. Farmer went to
Columbus and made complaint to the
civil authorities who thought he might
stay with safety. On the 18th, how
ever, he was informed by pupils that he
would again be visited, and he conclud-
ed to leave. After starting he received
information on the train that induced
him to get off at the first opportunity.
He probably saved his life by the oper-
alton, as band was waiting for him
Before leaving Columbus, he was asked
by the Democratic editors not to tell
the facts, as it would hurt the state.
Most OF the ku-Klux who committed this
outrage came from Alabama, while in
the border counties Mississippians are
charged with outrages. In Mr.. Farm
ers opinion these outrages are the re-
suit of a settled plan of operations.
