a RADIoAs rHloK EXPOSED.


The Radicals got up the Ku- Klux in
vestigation, now going on st Washington,
for the purpose of advancing the interests
of their party. But they coon found that
they had made great mistake, and that
it was benetting the Democratic party
instead. Something had to be done to
put stop to the damaging disclosures
that were being made against the Radi-
calls; so witnesses who had been sum-
moned by the Democratic members of
the Ku-Klux Oomnittee were notified rot
to proceed to Washington, as there was
no time to examine them This was done
by the Sergeant-at-Arms of The United
States Senate, and would not have been
known to the Democratic members of the
C,muittee, perhaps, had not complaint
been publicly made in regard to the man
ner in which witnesses responded. Col
T. Ha.demsn, Jr., Of Macon, Ga, wss
one of the witnesses who had been noti-
fed not to go 10 Washington, and exposed
the game the Radicals were playing. This
exposure has brought out letter from
Hon. L. p. Poland, acting chair
man of the Ku-Klux Committee,
intended to explsin the reason for
countermanding the summons issued
70 Col. Hardemsn. he assumes the re-
sponsibility of the act, and gives rather
an extraordinary reason for his course.
1t sppears from Mr.. Poland's statement,
that when the sub committee went to
South Carolina, they expected to return
here by the 18th instant at farthest, and
adjourn Immediately after. On the 18th
Mr.. Hardemsn notified the Sergeant-at-
Arms of his readiness to appear as wit
ness-he had been previously summoned,
and was sick-and Mr. Poland, after con
sultation with that officer, decided there
would not be time 10 take the
testimony, snl hence revoked the
the order. The Washington Patrjo
says the Democratic members OF the
committee were not informed of this
proceeding then or afterwards, and when
the disclosure was made on Friday last in
consequence of Dir. Hardeman's telegram,
no explanation was given and no knowl-
edge professed to exist on the subject.
We have not imputed, and do not mean
to ascribe, apy bad faith to Judge Poland
in this matter, but it does seem remerks-
bic that there should have been 30 much
secrecy about it until public attention
was called to the facts, and that no in
formation could be given 10 the commit |
tee when they were presented there.
One good result has attended this public
ity, for an important witness has been
secured, who without it would have been
excluded,

ARETURN NEEDED.

The fathers of the Revolution, looking
over the worlds history and the mon.
arches of Europe, whose highest yoke
they had just thrown off, took a s'Rew
departure" In the matter Of government.
Their conviction wss that the world had
been governed too much! The problem
which they set out to solve was, hou
little government the world really needed.
The wisdom of their solution of thif
problem was vindicsted by the unexam.
pied prosperity of the United States fol-
three quarters Of century.
Again in 1900, after the Alien and
Sedition Laws and the Federalism Of the
elder Adams, claiming absolute power
for the general government, the country
made another thew departure, and the
dangers of too much government were
averted for two generations.
Within the past decade, the natural
tendency of power to aggrandize
Itself, has been promoted by extraordinary
circumstances and by an unfortunate
spirit of sectional triumph, 60 that to-day
all the dangers of Capitalization are at
our very Threshold. The tendency is to
absorb al power in the general govern
ment, with vague idea of building up
81 impregnable nation, a la Prussia. 1t
is full time for the country TO make still
another ''new departure" to wit, re-
turn to the principles of 1875, g recog-
milton of the fact that we are to day
governed altogether too much, and that
the need of the hour is local control of
local affairs, which gives the simplest,
cheapest, and withal most efficient gov

THE ISSUES OF 1865,

We see it stated that the Albany argus,
an old and able Democratic journal, de-
clsres that it is 'tfutile and ridiculous to
assume that the issues upon which we
were beaten in 1868 are to be foisted INTO
the canvass in 1872" This is very good;
but it does not follow that 'the issues
upon which we were beaten in 1868"
were the issues presented by the National
Democratic platform of that year. In
fact, such was not the case. We were
beaten upon Issues dehOrS the platform,
issues which were made by Radical poll
liciaus, issues which were assumed by
the Radical leaders to be presented by
the Democracy, and as such were pressed
before the people. We must confess that
imprudent utterances of individual mem.
bers of the party gave the Radical speak
ers and writers come pretext for their
pertinscious presentation of these false
issues.
II is well, betimes, to revert to the past
fer the purpose of gathering its lessons
of principle and polity. 1t is especially
so now, as there seems to be some feeling
growing up among the Democracy be-
cause of supposed antagonism between
the platform of 1868 and the SO called
''new departure" but which Mr.. Vallan-
digham properly declared ''not a new de-
parture, but return" Mr.. Vallandig-
ham, in this speech, exposes the effort of
the Radical politicians to repeat the same
trick by which they won in 1868. In
speaking of their consultations and de-
Examinations IS to the management CT the
approaching Presidential canvass, so as
to again secure Radical success, he says
If civil war could not again be inaugu-
rated, civil law in form with all its legis-
lstive and executive machinery, aud all

MOkb YIN YIN Il 81 AOAAEVNs
Senator Morton of Indiana recently
made little speech before the Chambel
of Commerce of Cincinnati. He said il
his opening:
have no speech to make to you, bu'
l cannot help referring to the prosperity
OF our great country. Never before had
we such prospects in every respect as We
have row.
Again he says:
But, gentlemen, did not come here tc
make speech, and l viii only say, look
ing to the future, / can see but few diff
| c1lties and much sunshine in mercantile
point of view. 1t seems to me that there
is every assurance of prosperity.
This doubtless sounded very well to the
Senator, but did the members of the
Chamber of Commerce see the situation
! in tie hight in which it was presented by
the speaker? We presume not 1t is
well known to the business men of Gin
cinnaii, and indeed of every other city in
the Union, North as well as South, that
business was never more dull; that hard
times never more certainly stared the
people, and especially those known as
business men, in the face. All through the
Eastern States manufacturing establish"
m 'nts are being closed or being run as
llw as possible. Merchants are selling
nothing and collecting but little. Whole
sale establishments in the city of New
York, which usually employ hundred
or more persons, now have only enough
clerks to watch the open but unentered
door. All is stagna.ion.
We ought TO have prosperity; but have
we itG We ought now 10 have such
prospects as we never before had. We
ought, looking to the future, to
see but few difficulties and much
sunshine in q mercantile point of
view. The crops of the country
have not been so disastrously short as to
produce such disastrous distress in manu-
featuring and mercantile circles. We
must lock for the cause elsewhere. 1t is
TO be found in the terrible NAL admins
tsation to which Senator Morton is par
~, end under which the country is suf-
feIing. Ii is the high taxes and the waste
ful, criminal expenditure of the public
money, which are exhausting the powers
of the people and the resources and en-
ergies of the country. 1t is the taxing of
the many to maintain the monopolies of the
millionaires. There are enough private
debts of the citizens and public debts of
the States ard the United States, current
and due, which must be paid, to seriously
embsrTass the honest and Industrious
without ovcrburdening them with taxes
to feed corruption or pay an immense
debt not get due, simply that the party
in power may proclaim monthly that it
has reduced the debt few millions.
We hope there is good
time coming, but we do not expect to see
it until Senator Morton and his political
allies are turned out of office and men
put in who can appreciate and will re-
cognize in their legislation the wants of
the producing classes.

AMONG the curiosities of the Irish cen
sus just published, is the psucity Of
Jews. The whole number in the Island,
thus classed by the government officials,
is 25S. OF these 1856 are registered in
the province of Lsinster, 69 in Ulster,
and only 10 in Munster, while Connaught
cannot muster single one. If we accept
the common belief that the presence
OF these peculiar people is an uuerripg
evidence of thrift and prosperity, the sbow-
ing is not at al favorable for the material
condition of Ireland.

For some time past the Fish Commits
sioners of California have been in COM
munication with Mr.. Seth Green, of New
York, the famous and most successful
pisciculturist on the continent, with a
view to introducing shsd into California
waters. The experiment has resulted in
complete success. The greatest difficulty
encountered, and one which seemed to
forbid transportation of the fish for such
distance, arose from the fact that the

A SINGULAR SToRY.-A singular
story is told in connection with the
Lincoln assassination, by Mr.. William
Withers, ST., which has never been pub
lished. Mr.. Withers has a son named
William, who was the leader of the or
chestrs at Lima Edwin's theatre last
winter. Both father and son were in
Ford's theatre at the time when Booth
shot Lincoln. The elder Withers was
one of the orchestra, and played the
trombone. The younger had been
seated in the parquet, but just previous
to the time when the fatal shot was fire.
ed, he left his seat and proceeded to
the back part of the stage for the pur-
pose of speaking to some one there on
q private matter.
The two Wiihers' were we'll acquain-
ted with Booth, and he with them, the
elder having played game of billiards
with Booth on the Saturday previous,
the former losing the game, but Booth,
who would not permit him to pay for
it, exhibited thick roll of bills of large
denominations, and in q Boosting way
remarked that he had struck oil. After
Booth had fred, and he started to re-
trest through the wings to the back en-
trance, he was met in the passage by
young Withers, who did not know what
had taken place. Withers was about to
speak to him, but Booth made a lunge
at him with knife-he held in his hand.
Withers lodged the blow, but it never
theless struck him in the shoulder in an
angular direction, and glanced of, cut
ting thro ugh the coat, vest and shirt,
and producing slight wound of the
skin. He then rushed out and mount
ed his horse. William Withers, Jr.,
stated these facts to Mayor Wallack
previous to his examination, who ad-
vised him not to mention tho circum-
stance of receiving the stab. and he did
not do so. The elder Mr.. Withers can
not imagine for what purpose that adj
vice was given.-Netc York Era.
