Mr.. Sumner has caught an idea. He
says that there is no reason why Mr..
Buffers Ku Klux bill may not he applied
to Massachusetts as we'll as to South Ca

only begun on South Carolinn because
South Carolina is down and can't help
herself. Their notion is to get their
hand in, to try an experiment, to secu. @
q machine, to get people used to it, to
create precedents, to intrench themselves
in power. Then. having accomplished
their object. let New England wriggle out
of the party if she darel New England's g

1t won't be long before the reverse of the
present radical policy will appear in the

States of New England into one big
State. This is the tendency of radical

up to this danger.

The TAXEs-PUDLIC DISSATISFACTION
The extravagant taxes levied by the ma
jority Of the Legislature of South Caro-
lima, their oppressiveness and injustice,
the fraudulent schemes and waste uf the
public money. which they are intended
to support, the useless Offices, the high
salaries, the corruption of the Lcgisln-
ture in selling their votes. the horrible
and intolerable rule of ignorance and
dishonesty. all have made deep impress
sion on all the people who have any hon
est interest in the State Government.
We now record the fact that there is,
and of right ought to be, solemn de-
termination among all the honest men
of the State not to stand repetition of
these taxes, but unanimo ously to resist
them, "peaceably if we can, forciblY if
we must"
There is no doubt OF the fact that the
votes of committees aud of members of
the Legislature have been bought hy
money. We unhesitatingly avow the
principle, that every representative and
every official who sells his vote and in
Anence deserves and ought to be put to
death by law. 1t is pure and simple
robbery. The people-we mean people
by those who are not idiots or fools-are
making up their minds. Scoundrels
who sell their votes and levy high taxes,
must be stopped. We hope another
year may see people in this State united
as one man to resist these horrible frauds
and exactions. Let them dare sell their
votes again and rob and pIunder. The
most stupid negro in the State will come
to see that his interest is on the side OF
honesty and every white man, except the
thieves Enterprise.

Z The Washington Patriot, in address
ing the Democratic party, says: "We
seek from this centre to impress upon
our friends, near and at distance, the
necessity of federation as we'll as vigor;
of concerted action everywhere, which
can only be attained by avoiding ex-
tremes; the obvious policy of keeping
wide open the doors of party organiza-
ton, aud showing to tho disorganized,
discontented masses of our opponents
outside, that within there is not only
harmony, as there is, but magnanimity
and generosity and welcome"

MIXED JUnrEs OF MEN AND WOMEN IN
WYoM1Na.-The grand and petit juries Of
the Albany County District Court, Wy
oming, this term, Ms at the term pre-
vious, is composed of equal proportions
of men and women. The judge took oc-
casion to compliment, in the highest
terms, the intelligence. discrimination,
honesty and propriety of conduct with
which the women acquitted themselves
last session. saying they had gone fur to
vindicate the policy. justify the expert
ment. aud realize tho expectations Of
those who had clothed themselves with
the right. The bar, the bench, and the
intelligent men of the country had long
felt that something was needed to i'm
prove and justify our jury system; some
thing to lift it ab,vo prejudice and pas
sion, and imbue it with higher regard
for law, justice, oath and conscience.
The court would assure them the fullest
protection against everything which
might offend tho most refined, modest
and educated women in any walks of
life, aDd would punish severely any at
tempt to throw ridicule or contumely
upon them.

IA CouNTY AUDITOR IN TRouBLE.-The
transactions OF one DE-, Johp, ,Lnnney, Of
Darlington. in the Land Commission,
have already been aired n:this Paper,
and it seems that the matter has bow
been brought, to the attention Of the
grsnd jury os the County, who OF the
last term made the following present
ment:
The grand jury present that the late
enonmbent of the Office Of Auditor for
Darlington County-Dr. John Lunney-
has, in many instances, abused the con-
fdence reposed in him as public officer,
and sacrificed the interests of the tax
payers to his private gains. Acting as
the agent for the Land Commission in
Darlington, he purchased the lands
known as the "Wilds Estate" for
$5.986.05, and as the records of the
Office of Mesne Conveyance will show,
afterwards conveyed the same lands to
Charles P. Leslie, Land Commissioner.

stance in which he has appropriated to
his own use the hard earned money of
the poor tax. pay'rs; and the jury earn
estly hope that one who has 40 higrantly
violated the public trust will be brought
to speedy aud condign punishment.

BosToN, Monday, Jan. 80, 1871.
In the senate to-day the following petitions
were presented Of the Massachusetts woman's
suffrage association for an amendment of the
constitution to secure to women the rights of
suffrage: of the executive board of the Massa-
chusetts temperance alliance for the repeal of
the present anti-liquor law, and the re-enactment
of the prohibitory law; of the Worcester mu-
tual insurance company fora change of charter.
Orders were passed: That the committee on
the judiciary consider the expediency Of
further legislation to secure a more equal
apportionment of state and county taxes in the
several cities and towns of the commonwealth;
that the committee on education consider tho
expedency of providing by law for the placing
of copy of the lectures and reports on educa-
ton by Hon. Horace Mann in the public
libraries of the cities and towns of the state.
In the house, Mcssrs. Putnam, Hill, Vibbert
and Baldwin, from the committee on education,
reported an act relating to public libraries and
reading rooms, which provides that chapter 81
of tine general statutes shall not be construed to
prevent towns and cities having free public
libraries or reading rooms from opening the
same for use on the Lords day. Messrs. Mum
roe and Bartholomew, of the senate, and Wash
burn, of the house, dissented from the above re-
port.
A bill was introduced on leave for supplying
the town Of Leominstcr with pure water.
The various matters in the orders of the day
in both branches, were advanced one stage, with
the exception Of the report inexpedient on the
petition of Nathaniel Freeman, for interest on
his bill for work done on the state house, and
this was recommitted.
The railway committee gave a hearing this
forenoon, which was continued after the session
of the legislature, on the petition for the incor-
poration of the Nashua, Acton and Boston rail-
road company. The road asked for would start
from connections with the Fitchburg railroad at
West Concord, and thence northward through
the towns of Acton, Littleton, Westlord, Gtoton,
Tyngsboro, Dunstable. and across the state line
to Nashua, N. H. The ground on which the
petition is based is the local necessities of the
country through which it would pass The esti-
mated cost OF the road is S573, 900 without equip
ment; and its length about twenty-five and one
halt miles Considerable interest was felt in the
hearing, and there was II large attendance of
spectators.

opera glass and three watches, two of which
were appropriated by the person who had been
the agent in this transaction, as bonus for his
trouble.
The dying wish of Aaron Burr, the second
vice-presdent of the United States, was that he
might when dead, lie at the feet of his father,
Aaron Burr, and his grandfather, Jonathan
Edwards. His wish was granted, and a place
was made for him ia the college division. For
a number of years his grave was visited by hun
dreds of travellers, yet there was nothing to mark
it. No one of all the friends of Burr was left
who cared to mark the grave, until one night in
1856, unknown TO any one, plain marble slab,
with the name Aaron Burr upon it, was placed
at the head of his grave. This is the founda-
ton for the finale of Harriet Beecher Stoves
novel of "Ihe Minister'S Wooing." So great
was the interest in this one grave that, in 1860,
nearly onehalf of the grave-stone had been

an uncle escaped unhurt The dead man and
wounded man were pat on board the train, to be
taken four miles to the next station. The man
not hurt was refused by the conductor to be
carried, because he had no money, but walked
back that night to Kankakee, and slept in
Bailey's oil mill. The conductor demanded and
collected eighteen cents fare from the wounded
man, and threat med to put the dead man off for
non-payment of fare, but search in his pocket
revealed the requisite money for his fare, which

SAARBRucK, Jan. 29-3A. M.-The news of the
capiulation OF Paris has this instant arrived
here. Cannon are firing in hoaor of united Ger
many, and German flags are displayed on all
the houses. The bells are ringing, and bands of
young and old men are streaming joyfully
through the streets singing patriotic ans. Pre-
parations are making for general illumination
The final surrender Of Paris took place at noon
Saturday.
FRANKFORT, Jan. 29.-The final official news
of the capitulation of Paris set all Frankfort
wild with rejoicing. A number of French pris-
oners, passing on their way TO the interior, were
RECALLED with an impromptu feast. The streets
are crowded with delighted citizens. Special
thanksgiving services will be held in all the
churches.
LONDON, Jan. 80.--The occupation of the
Paris forts by the German troops was unattended
by any incidents OF general interest
The contribution imposed upon Paris by the
articles of capitulation is filtythree million
francs.
The capitulation Of Paris had been anticipated
for so many days previously that when the in
telligence Of the actual surrender was received
on Saturday night, the surprise and the mani
festation of feeling was not very perceptible.
The lines strongly fayors the proposal of the
lord mayor to send supplies to the starving
Parisians at once, and the public generally are
active in seconding the benevolent project of the
chief magistrate. The latest intelligence from
the city is that all is quiet in Paris, aud the peo-
pie generally receive the intelligence of the sur
render with mOurnful joy.

TRIALS OF AGED MINIsTERs.-The Rev. Dr.
Todd, for many years pastor of the Congrega-
tonal church in Pittsfield, in his letter. resign
ing his charge, mentions the following among
the trials of aged ministers:
1. The first great trial is, of course, TO feel
that he has done his work, is no longer needed,
and must be set aside. The world no longer
looks to him. When a lawyer retires from pub
lie speaking he can 90 to his office and do office
business. Probably eight-tenths of all the law
business in the commonwealth is done IN the
office. When a physician retires from visiting
his patients, he can 90 to his office and still
carry on his consultations; but when the min
ister has done public speaking, he has ho such
resource. A trial this.
2. 1t is trial to stand still and see his pow
erS and faculties decay, and to know that he
ought to take joyfully this spelling OF his
goods
8. 1t is trial to see his flock turning all
away from him, as they ought to do, and fol-
lowing another shepherd. He reasons that they
are not turning against him, but the poor hui
man heart is in danger of feeling that they do
Reason does not always sit finn on her throne
with her eye clear.
A. Another trial is, that if the minister has
given his life TO his appropriate work, as he
ought, he finds in old age that he must be cur
tailed IN many comforts TO which he has been
accustomed, and is also in danger of dreading
poverty, or OF being a burden.
1t is said, too, that usually his people occupy
the first year Of his successors life in telling
him the faults of the old minister.
These are some of the trials of an old minis
ter, in addition to those infrmities of age under
which all must bend, as We see the streams of
earth one after another dry up, and feel the
feet grow unsteady as we shuttle down the hill
of life.

A National Centenary,

A letter of Hon. John Bigelow, late minister
Of the United States to the court of France,
which has just been published, is devoted to
urging the importance of celebrating in some
appropriate manner the one hundredth auniver-
sary of our independence, and the necessity of
making in time suitable preparations for that
event. The time remaining, a little more than
five years, is, he thinks, not too much for con-
sidering the various plans that may be sug-
gested for such celebration, and making the
needtul arrangements TO carry into execution
such as may be selected. These pre- iminary
questions are stated: Should the matter be
directed by the national government or by the
people acting through special national organi.
zatlon? What precautions are needed to pre-
vent the success Of the undertaking being i'm.
paired by political dissensions? In what way
and to what extent should the participation Of
foreign nations be invited? How can the cele.
brarion be made most universal with the least
displacement of the population?
