.r-ge =. COLUMBIA, 8. G., December 6.
In the United States Circuit Court to-day
occurred the most important event in the
Ku-Klux trials thus far, and perhaps of the
whole proceedings learned and eloquent
argument Of the Hon. -Reverdy johnson, lead
ing couasel for the defence, upon the motion
to !Aaash the joint Indictment against six Of
the so-called Ku.Klnx, which charges them
with conspiracy and burglary. The improvis-
ed courtroom, contained the largest and BY far
the most Intelligent audience that has yet as
sembled since the beginning of the trials, and
the most marked interest was manifested.
Mr.. johnson was not in good physical con-
dillon, and this fact, taken in connection with
his venerable years, might well have atoned
for far less able argument than he did de-
liver; but It was soon seen that, despite his
advancing age, he lacked none Of the careful
erudition, the accurate historical Information,
the vivacity Of intellect, or the subtlety OF ar
gument that had 30 long distinguished him.
His address was a finished and harmonious
creation-the foundations laid solidly and
deep, and the superstructure piled with skill

now TO MANAGE HIM.

How shall you manage your husbandl"
will tell you my dear, IL can.
He is really wonderful creature
That troublesome animal-man.
Yes, really wonderful creature,
Inconsistent and queer;
But you will soon know the secret by learning
The nodas opcrondi, my dear.
If he stays out too late in the evening,
Partaking Of supper and wine,
Don't prove him base fabricator
When he comes by asking the time,
For he surely will tell you the town clock
But n moment before rang out one
When 1t struck he had counted It over
just three times before 1t had done.
And then il his hat, in the morning,
Is smaller by far than his head,
Don't hint by merest illusion,
That his lordship went tipsy to bed,
But rather regard the occurrence,
A phenomenon puzzllng, queer,
With a strange look Of mystifcation
In your eyes, if he's watching, my dear.
And don't fail to sew on his buttons,
And mend all his clothing with care;
Don't tease him for money for shopping;
Don't lrown when he acts like bear
Don't tell him too often, my deary,
That your head is aching with pain,
Lest he whispers, way down in his bosom,
"Oh, / wish | was single again -
Don't tell him that Mary, the housemaid,
And Mag, the obstreperous cook,
Refuse to receive your suggestions
With even as much rs a look
Don't tell how very annoying
You so often found II to be,
To be told to "get out of the kitchen,
And don't come a-botherin' of me'
But always seem cheerful and happy,
And always look pleasant and gay;
Than frown there is nothing more potent
In driving ones husband away.
And thus you must ever keep striving,
You will find It an excellent PLAN
But whatever you do, dear, remember
That your husband is only man.

general government in their whole
constitutional vigor as our sole defence
against foreign aggression, the safest
bond of union between different sec.
tions of the country and the only sure
promise of general prosperity.
4. To maintain, unimpaired, the

ANOTHER BUBBLE BURST.

The Collapse of the Commonwealth Fire
Insurance COmpany-HOw to Run an
Institution into the GrOund-SIOO,OOO
Lost.
On Saturday afternoon Judge Cardozo, on
petition of Attorney General Champlain, granted
an order appointing William NJ. Tweed, Jr, re-
ceiyer of the Commonwealth Fire Insurance
Company of this city, on giving bond with
two sureties in 5000. The bond was executed
by ]. P Cummings and William Edleston, and
Mr.. Tweed took possession Of the assets ets
of the company. This action did not
/ sake the public altogether by surprise. The
hs~trance Times of February called the atten-
tion 0the public and of Superintendent Miller
10 the aIs-ming condition of this company, and
demanded : searching investigation into its
affairs. 1t is ~ donbt due to the exposure OF
the Insurance Times that two commissioners
were appointed to investigate the sffairs of the
company. The report OF these commissioners
| TO the Attorney-General showed that the assets
of the company were but $3.50 05S 80. while its
liabilities including capital stock $3.50 OOO) were
$415 AIS 40; or, in other words, that its capital
stock had been impaired to the extent OF
! $165, 420'11
The general law relating to insurance provides
that when it shall appear to the Attorney-Gene-
raj, by report of the Comptroller (noW the Insu-
rance General superintendent, that the losses
