The proclamation of President GsANr az.
pealing to the Southern people to save him the
necessity of resorting to the means Congress
has placed in his hands, and warning the Ku
Klux assassins that he is resolved to Use all the
power of the Government to protect loyal peo
pie against their outrages, is document which
all good men will cordially approve. and all
true friends Of the country will aid him to en-
force. The President expresses the earnest
hope that he shall not be compelled to resort
to the extraordinary powers conferred upon
him by the Ku.Klux law. But he declares, in
terms that none will fail to understand, that
unless speedy end be had to the murders and
other outrages they are daily perpetrating,
they must be crushed out by the strong arm OF
the Government They are presented the al
ternatives-peace or the sword. The Demo
cratic leaders OF the South can end these out
RACES with word, if they will, and save the
President the painful necessity of doing il with
the sword. IL this calamity be visited upon
them, it will be their own fault, and not his

protect the lives and property of the people

THE NEW NATIONA ERA.

Indian population is about eighty three hun
dred The tabular statement of the census
taken by Lieutenant D. A. LyLs gives the age,
sex, occupation, and condition of four hun
dred white Inhabitants with remarks as to the
character of each, and the condition Of their
houses. more complete record of destitu-
ton, wretchedness, and prostitution could not
be found in any other part of the habitable
globe. Opposite the names Of about onethird
of the females is affixed the word prostitute, y
and to the houses Of more than enc half filthy,
dirty, apd destitute, and 10 others such appli-
cations as "worthless," drunken wretch
worthless euss," lazy " able bodied,
worthless, &c.
Lieutenant LYLk states that he found, as q
general thing, a great want Of cleanliness oil
person, apparel, and abodes. The houses are
small, filthy, and lily ventilated, bearing evil
dence of habitual neglect There appears tc
be no energy amongst the people, no desire tc
look forward to future sslfsupport THEN
ideas Of virtue and chastity are of the lowest
kind and the consequence of their vices were
everywhere prevalent. more miserable class
of beings, in every respect, can nowhere be
found. Compared with them, as described by
Lieut.. LYLE and the authors of this report, th'
people of Santo Domingo are a most desirable
class of citizens. Those who were so dazzlet
at the acquisition of Alaska, and so bitterly
oppose the annexation of Santo Domingo, vii
do well to study that report very carefully.

The census has brought to light one of the
items which the rebellion cost the Southern
people which had not before been very clearly
understood either by them or at the North. 1t
presents a comparison of the value of property
in seven of the rebel States with its value before
the rebellion, and shows what rebel violence
did during four years of civil war to destroy
the property and PROSTATE business among
them. TO people Of any practical common
sense the figures we present below would prove
an argument against all future rebellions that
would render them impossible; but they seem
incapable of compromising such an argument,
and lack the ability rather than the disposition
to plunge into another instruction. But some
of them may profit by the lesson these figures
ought to teach everybody, and we therefore
present them:

ers have hitherto been, as letter from an
intelligent American gentleman. residing in
Europe, to q citizen of Chicago shows. He
states with absolute confidence that "in less
than fifteen years Russia will be prepared to
furnish all the grain wanted on this side of the
Atlantic. So, il we call ourselves an agricul-
tural people. we must import the consumers
for our surplus or not produce it. 1t may all
be very nice for our farmers to buy cheap calico
and other articles of no Importance but when
they begin TO compete with Russia, at t,Oenty
cents day for labor, in producing wheat, they
will find home market more to their advan.
tsge. All Russia wants is transportation, and
she is constructing railroads very rapidly
1000 miles the last year, and they expect
to increase that amount this year. They are
the only nation on this side who take pride in
initiating the Americans. A Russian gentle
man will say to you: That is the way you dc

Our Government paid Russia S7,2O0,00O in
gold for the desert Of Alaska. Two officers Of
the United States army, who have thoroughly
explored the Territory during the past year,
have recently made report TO the Secretary
of War of its population, resources, and climate,
from which we gather that We have got pos.
session of a very costly elephant. The only
branches Of industry that Offer the slightest pros
poet Of remuneration are fishing, the collecting
of furs, aud the traffic which naturally spring
from these pursuits. The entire yield from
these sources the past year wcre-for fish OIL
g, 400; salmon, Sl4, 400, and from furs, $780,
900, making $50, 800 in all. To offset this
item of resources there is the pay of the off,
GERS and men of the army and navy on duty at
Alaska, Sl20,636 per annun, and 100000 as
the cost of the station, amounting to the sum Of
500, 636, or an increase Of expenses over as
sets of about $4,000. And what is still worse,
there is represented to be steady decrease in
population and products since the country was
transferred to us. The best part of the Rus
sian population has abandoned it, leaving be-
hind them three hundred paupers, whom our
Government is compelled to support.
The report states that the whole present
population of Alaska speaking any European
tongue does not exceed six hundred, and the

National Labor Union.

We publish in another column a call for a
convention in the State of Texas for the pur
pose of organizing the colored labor of that
State in accordance with the suggestions of the
late n rational Convention held in this city. We
hope this example will be followed by those
gentlemen in other States who were appointed
for the purpose of calling conventions in the
interest of labor. We hope to be able to
chronicle some action in the right direction in
all the States of the Union, and that speedily.

j. NJ. MASON, one of the most active pro-
meters of the rebellion, and one of the most
malignant Of all the traitor gang died a few
days ago at his residence, near Alexandra.
Virginia. We are not advised by what dis,
ease he was taken off; but we suppose his rebel
admirers will claim that, like his fellow traitor
LEE, he died of broken heart. Undoubtedly
he suffered the keenest modification at the
failure of his life long hopes-a Southern Con.
federacy, with slavery as its chief corner stone.
Modification, therefore, and his vile passions
and craving hatred of the Government, proba
bly, were the cause of his death. At any rate,
he has ceased from preaching disatlection and
treason, and no patriot will mourn that the
country is rid of one of the worst of its citizens,
and one of the most influential of the origina-
tors of secession and rebellion. 1t is not till
all such bitter enemies of the Government have
been removed by death from the South that
we can look for peace and order in the rebel
States

BY the following, from the Charleston Re
publican it would seem that Ku-Kluxism is
proving to be a two.edged sword, cutting both
ways
Evidence accumuates Of the probability that
desperate men in various parts of South Caro-
lima are using the guse or at least the name of
the organization known as the ku,kluX Khan
for their own personal revenges. 1t is not
hard to see how this may be, in these times OF
fierce excitement. when SO little has yet been
done to ferret out and punish those who have
been guilty Of so.called ku-Klux outrages
against the public peace and, indeed as sup
porting this view, we would cali to remember
ance the fact that declarations have been made
public by those claiming to be members OF the
genuine ku-klux, stating that men falsely rep
resenting themselves as K. KS had done thus
and so, and that this kind of work must cease
1t is even now believed by many that the at
tempted murder of Dr. Winnsmith, of Spartan
burg, was not done by Ku-Klux, but rather
was the work OF some Of his personal enc
mics, who assumed the ku.Klux guise no
the readest means Of escaping detection
and punishment for thoir foul crime.
Tins, however, Is locked secret as yet; but
we have heard it reported that men in that
section who might fsiflv be supposed to sym
pathize with the Ku K1ux are also supposed
to feel alarm under ,hia view of the case, lest
this same weapon fall on some of them in mere
personal revenge. Even with this view, the
ku-K lux must, of course, bear the RESPONSE
billty for setting on foot an agency capable of
such terrible ends OF one thing they and
Tie whole people of South Carolina may be
very sure, and that is, if this work is allowed
to 60 further, it will end in such a system of
personal revenge, under the thick cloak of the
Ku-Klux, as will shake South Carolina to its
centre, appalling those who may now think
themselves safe within that order, safe be
cause sympathizing with itappalling them
because some of the rain of blows would fall
upon their own heads.
When will reason return? When will this
dire cloud. thick sown with thunderbolts, pass
by? We have evils to correct-enough heaven
knows-but many of those evils will vanish
the moment we put away all secret political
organizations--all, Union League with the ku-
Klux--and when Democrats and Republicans,
as citizens of one commons land, go to work
openly and patiently for reaching the better
iestinies which are clearly within our grasp.

The Peabody Educational Fund.

We find in the Independent some facts given
in the annual report Of the Commissioners or
Trustees of the Peabody Educational Fund
which will be of interest to our readers. 1t is
stated in this report that the annual income of
the fund amounts to about Sl20, 000 of which
$4,000 are consumed in contingent expenses,
and that the remaining $4,000 are appro-
priated to educational purposes. 1t is now four
years since the trustees Of this fund entered
during the last year that they have been able to
bring their plans fully into operation The
benefits of the fund are confined to public free
schools, including normal schools, without any
distinction Of color. and to the Southern States.
The report of the trustees shows that during the
past year 2l3 towns, districts, and institutions
have been assisted by the disbursement Of
$lO6,9 900 and that, in connection with these
contributions, the people receiving them have
expended about $500, 900 from their own re-
sources. 1t is claimed that the great benefits
of the fund are practically illustrated by the
experiment that has been tried in Richmond.
A few years ago that city had no free schools.
The first year after the bequest the trustees
contributed from the fund 81, 900 in aid of such
schools, and the city raised $4,000. The do
nation from the fund remains the same, while
the city now raises S42 900 for school purposes,
and is supporting thirty nine white and thirty
three colored schools. The Peabody Fund is
the expression of large idea and noble pur-
pose on the part of its distinguished donor.
The STEWARDS. the VANDERBILTs, and the
other millionaires Of the land ought to study
and profit by so bright an example. Philan-
thropy in any form is splendid use of money.
