The latest dispatches from Paris give
ground for hope that the insurgents may
be checked in their course without any
serious contest, The better judgment of
the people is opposed to their proceedings
and the government of Theirs is receiving
general support outside of Paris. The
regular authorities are doing all they can
te avoid bloodshed, and at the same time
they are gathering formidable force,
which the insurgents may find it useless
to resist. Let MS hope that the worst is
over.

CONDITION OF THE SOUTH

The facts which have been presented TO
Congress in relation to the distracted and
lawless condition of the South are too well
authenticated to be successfully denied.
The efforts OF democratic senators to dis
pute them are of no avail. If there were
any doubt about the statements we have
in the newspapers and the reports and
speeches in Congress, there can be none
as to the truth of the private correspond
ence which finds its way to the North in
forming relatives and friends of the state
of things in the South. There is no differ
ence of opinion among republicans in Con-
gress or out about the wretched condition
of that part of our country. The truth is
not exaggerated. The danger is not vet
fully understood. 1t is not single riot
or murder here or there, or the warning of
the officers of whole county to leave
upon short notice that makes up the case
of the South, but it is the fact that all the
Southern States are mined bya secret. oath
bound organization, pledged TO eXterni-
nate the black race politically and the re-
publican party entirely by the use of the
dagger, the bullet and the halter
if milder measures will not do How this
gigantic conspiracy shall be met is the
great question of the hour. 1t is one for
serious consideration and the exercise OF
the wisest craftsmanship. 1t is not whether
the republican party shall live or die in
the South, but whether the government
itself is not in jeopardy, and what meas
ures shall be taken to avoid the impending
danger. Before Congress adjourns some
step win be taken in the proper direction,
and if it is slower and seemingly less eff
fectiye than the case may appear to de-
mand, we judge that it will be adopted
under the idea that the gravity of the oc-
C aston better demands deliberate, well
considered measures than hasty ones. The
democratic party has been invited through
its members in Congress to assist in ex-
tirpating the evil of Ku-Kluxism; if it
fails to respond, and casts aside the offer
to diyest this question Of politics, it will as
sumo responsibility for which it must
answer before the whole people. Let the
democratic party of the North expose and
denounce and aid the republican party in
suppressing As it deserves the ku-Klux-
Khan, and the monster that now holds the
South in a reign of terror and threatens
the peace of the country would expire in
less than ninety days. If. however, it will
follow the lead of Blair and Bayard, who
cover up and sustain the lawless dongs in
the South, then it must be held accounta-
BILE for the result. We have no doubt that
an appeal to the people irrespective of
party against the banded brigands and as
sassins of the Southern States would be
responded to with alacrity by all parties.
The government will not abandon the per-
secuted people in the South. President
1rant will do all in his power to protect
them' and we hope that the means de-
Vised ana adopted by Congress may be
such as will give permanent peace and.

FROM WASHINGTON.

Wdsltiitgton, Nov. 13.--A case il pend
ing IN the Supreme Court here seriously af-
icctmg the recent proceedings against the
Mormons. Three years ago quantity of
liquor was destroyed by the Mormon au-
thorities, for the value of which suit was
brought and a verdict rendered against Salt
Lake city. The ground of appeal is that
the jurors should have been summoned by
the Territorial instead of the Federal mar
shals. The recent indictments and convic-
tons were made by iuIies summoned by
the Federal marshal, and a reversal in the
pending case will multiply the recent pro-
ceedings in Utah. In the meantime it NAV
be stated that the Executive is determined
to push the recent policy towards the Nor
mons.

ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

We have received several copies of the
New Orleans National Republican, new
administration paper recently started in
that city.
1t is mercilcss towards Yarmouth and
his party, who are, doubtless, guilty Of
many charges preferred against them by
the Republican.
ltgoes in for reform, and such an one,
too, as many of the Southern States have
long needed. While many Republican
journals are jubilant over the fate which
has cvertaken Tweed and his associates,
but few of them have recognized the neces-
sty which demands the arrest and punish
ment of those who have plundered our sis
ter States. When we shall have fully
awakened to the necessity of putting in
office honest men only, and denouncing and
Furnishing the dishonest, then may we ex-
pect, not only the Southern people, but the
better class Of the North, to regard us as
proper custodians of the christian principles
of Republicanism.
Virginia, we are glad to believe, is COM
paratively free from these unprncipled
adventurers--they being pretty generally
cleaned out, but the thieves and rogues of
our neighboring States, gave to our political
enemies, the opportunity, however wrong,
to make considerable capital against us in
the late election. We go for cleaning up
shower, and trust our new exchange will
yet live to accomplish great good in this
direction.

JUDGE Bonds DECISION AND THE
RIGHTS OF CoLORED PERSONS ON
PUBLIC CoNVEYANCES.- The recent de-
cision of Judge Bond, as reported by tele-
gram, will have the effect to open public
conyeyances to colored persons, and we
hope soon to see our City railway following
the example of similar companies in Balti-
more.
We confidently believe the whole subject
with us, is one Of prejudice, condition of
affairs which ought never exist or be tole-
rated. No lady or gentleman of Rich
mond ever denies to the colored woman,
who is carrying white child, the privilege
of setting beside them in the cars, nor have
we ever heard of any one being injured by
it. We would greatly prefer to see volun-
tary surrender of this prejudice, but if this
is not done, the power of the law must be
enforced. We hope to see our City rail-
way adopting the now almost universal
system, and throw open their cars to all
persons who may choose to ride IN them.

The colored friends of Ben Scott are very

and the general impression among them is,
that the "Conservativesv deliberately
passed counterfeit money on him in order
that he might pass it and be sent to the PEN
itentiary. This would enable The party to
get rid of him. We are assured by a gen.
tleman of veracity, that the above state
ment is correct, and that Ben's friends
will insist that he return to the Republican
fold when he gets out. We learn it is the
intention of such number Of Conservatives
to go his bail as will make it iinpracticable
for some wicked Republican to induce him
to run away and forfeit his bond. What

The following interestingr eport was pre-
sented at the meeting Of the City Council
last evening:
RICHMOND, VA, Nov. II, 1871.
ToMe Council QfMe Ciy Of RicAmoad:
GENTLEMEN, The joint committee ON
the improvement of James river respectful
ly submit the following report of the pro-
gress of the work under their charge since
August 1st:
AT the date of that report we were en-
gagged in work on the Richmond bar. Since
that time we have confined our operations
exclusively to that work, and it is with pe-
cular satisfaction that we are new enabled
to report to you its successful completion.
The Importance of this progressive step
In our work cannot be oyer-estimated. In
June last there was but 81 feet of water at
mean low-tide on the Richmond bar; now
we have channel-way 500 feet long, Is
feet wide and 10 feet deep at low-tide,
which gives US depth Of over IS feet twice
day.
10 accomplish this work we have re-
moved 50, ,93l cubic yards Of material and
safely deposited it behind crib-work along
the banks Of the river.
We have not only accomplished nearly
one mile of the work under our charge, but

by the Democratic voters of this city to the
Legislature.
Coming to Richmond stranger, and ac-

by Mr.. Gilman, on paper, from its politi-
cal complexion liable to be unpopular. Mr..
G. was one Of the first to extend US the
hand of fraternal friendship. Who, under
similar circumstances. but an migrate could
but regret to part with the polite gentle
man, scholar and friend? Though differing
politically, we can but pay a simple tribute
to the worth Of Mr.. Gilman, nor can we
breathe suspicion, or entertain thought
that Virgmia's interest will be unsafe in the
hands of such men as he. We only regret
there are so few with the same liberal and
enlarged views who are TO be his associates.
Mr.. Gilman carries with him our best
wishes for his success, and a realization of
his highest and noblest ambitions.
