the mother country. We are aware, too, that
England, with all her faults, has been the
home Of liberty, free speech and free press,
while the Continental nations of Europe have
been denied these blessings. 1t is the English
speaking people-the people of the United
Kingdom, of the United States and of the
British colouies-that have carried civilization
and commerce to every part of the earth, and
that now dominate, directly or indirectly,
nearly third of the habitable globe They
are the people of progress. They are the
great civilzers of all countries outside
of Continental Europe. They have a mighty
mission and future before them Why, then,
shoud they not be united and work in
harmony together? Let the High Commis-
sion take this broad view of the destiny of
the English-speaking race, and be prepared to
give to each of the two great branches its
proper role and position-to the United States
Continental dominion in America, and to
England wide Asatic and colonial rule in
other parts of the world. While some of the
great nations are decaying and others are
being consolidated into military empires these
two great branches of the same stock are
spreading commerce. liberty and civilization
to the uttermost parts of the globe. To COM
bine their efforts and to unite them more
closely together is work to which the states
men of both countries should now give their

The Brooklyn Bridge.

In advance Of the completion Of this grand
structure the Brooklyn people are already
beginning to exult over the vast increase in
value which must accrue to property in that
city There is no doubt that, even now, in
prospect of the completion of the bridge,
property, especially on the high, airy and
healthy grounds in the direction of Prospect
Park, overlooking the bay, enjoying the ad-
vantages Of a superb landscape and q deli
cious atmosphere, is taking an upward ten
dency, and that purchasers of homesteads are
directing their attention thitherward. But
the first necessity is to build the bridge.
When that is done real estate in Brooklyn
will have reached a very high value, and the
population will undoubtedly grow in few
years, from its present figure Of four hundred
thousand, way up toward the census of the
metropolis. But we must have the bridge
before these dreams can be realized.
The work on the Brooklyn side is progress
ing rapidly and favorably. The caisson on
our side OF the river, we believe, is not yet
laid, owing to the addition of certain improve
ments suggested by the fire which occurred in
the Brooklyn caisson. It will not be long,
however, before the foundations will be
secured at both sides of the river, and then,
when the substantial piers are erected, the
rest Of the work will not be very difficult.

SENATOR SUMNER persists in presenting his
resolutions against st. Domingo in the Senate,
although legislation is supposed to be confined
entirely to the Ku Klux. Perhaps Senator
Summers vision is SO distorted by his changed

The Ku klux in South Carolina-PrO.
cIamntiOn by President Grant.

The President yesterday issued prelimin-
ary proclamation, reciting the disorders pre-
vailing in South Carolina through the terror
ism excited by the Ku Klnx raiders, and
warning these unlawful combinations of
armed men, to dispense and retire peaceably
to their homes within twenty days. In his
Message to Congress some days ago Presi-
dent Grant, in treating of the general state of
disorder throughout the South, said that the
authority of the Executive for quelling such
disorder was not clear. In the present case,
however, he finds his authority clear enough
in the application of Governor Scott, the
Legislature not being in session, for national
aid to save the State from domestic violence
an application that places this preliminary
action of the President and the further
in harmony with article four, section four
of the constitution. There is no
doubt that this proclamation does presage
something further. 1t means the dispersal at
once of the Ku Klux Klans who have been
making life there hideous fright, the return
of the republican Governor in peace and
safety to his duties, and the restoration of
order and security at once; or else it means
the immediate rushing of United States troops
into the State and the enforcement of peace in
Carolinians of the notification days when
General Scott and General Jackson preserved
the Union, ''by the Eternal
The six years that have passed since the
close of the civil war have not served to
obliterate from the minds Of our loving
people their hearty hatred of causeless
rebellion, nor to teach them to be particularly
merciful to those unthinking or else un-
scrupulous spirits in the South who
threaten to get up new one Nor is
General Grant-who holds in his hands the
personal paroles, dated as far back as Ap-
pomattox Court House, Of the very men who
have been creating these disorders in South
Carolina-the man to rely upon any half way
measures in enforcing the law against them.
1t is to be hoped the Ku Klux remember that
and at once.
Our kilograms and correspondence, and the
official documents in the hands of Senate COM
mittees, show beyond doubt that the Ku
Klux have kept South Carolina and several
other Southern States in a condition of anarchy
equalled alone probably by the present Reign
of Terror in Paris. The fact that the demo-
Gratis, both North and South, condone, if they
do not openly endorse, the doings of this ''un-
lawful combination" is incontestible evidence
that such doings spring from old rebel hatred
of Northerners and ''niggers;" and therein
they contain the germ whence sprung the re-
bellion Of 1861. 1t is good and broad states
manship on the part Of General Grant, there
fore, as well as it is his official duty, under the
requirements Of the constitution, to put down
this spectre Of rebellion at once, before it be-
comes like the powerful giant Of flesh and
blood that has just cost the country so many
years of war and anguish and so many millions
of treasure and lives to overcome

Central and South America.

By special telegram to the HERALD from
Jamaica we have later advices from Panama,
giving interesting particulars regarding the
situation in Central and South America. In
Colombia the revolutionary party of the State
of Boyaca had been successful, and quiet was
again restored. In Peru very heavy rains had
occurred, doing much damage, washing away
bridges, houses and telegraph lines. The
town of Lambayaque, containing twenty
thousand inhabitants, had only three houses
left standing. In Payta the water was
three feet deep in the streets In Bolivia
peace has been fully restored. The people
of Chile are violently opposed to the annexa-
ton of st. Domingo to the United States, and
the government is called upon to protest
against it as the first step towards annexing
all of the Spanish American republics. The
United States Minister to Salvador has noti-
fed that government on behalf of England
and the United States that in the existing
war with Honduras the neutrality of the
Honduras railroad must be observed. A large
number of German emigrants to Lower Cali
fornia had arrived in Panama, and twenty five
of them deserted. The whole scheme was
pronounced swindle, and the German resi-
dents Of Panama were about sending pro-
test to New York against it.

FISK AGArN-The case of Fisk, Jr.,
against the Union Pacific Railroad Company
is seemingly not destined to drop out of public
sight. 1t was before Judge Blatchford yester-
day, in the United States Circuit Court. upon
the rendering of decision on certain points
of technical nature previously argued. The
main point to be decided was the legality Of
taking from the files of the court the plaintiffs
bill in equity, on the ground that it included
the name of debtor which did not appear in
the title of the original suit, nor on the papers
as they were officially filed, until after the re-
moval of the suit from the State to the United
States Court. AS in all those cases the result
is expense and delay-the old game of the
boys and the frogs: what is play to one is
death to the other. Erie has, however, pro-
life spawn, and it seems that no amount Of
stoning will bring them from the field.

THE SENATE YESTERDAY slipped entirely
away from the question of Ku Klux and dis
cussed the Deficiency Appropriation bill. The
only portion Of 1t disposed of was an amend
ment providing tor distribution of money
and clothing to the poor of the District of
Columbia. While Senators seem reluctant to.
take any very stringent measures for the re-
lief of the darkies down South from the terrOrs
of the Ku Klux, they are very ready to take
care of those darkies Of the District, who,
according to Messrs. Logan and Thurman,
sport umbrellas in rainy weather and gold
spectacles on fine days.

WILL GERMANY Go EAST Ply a cable
telegram from Bucharest we are informed that
while the Germans in Roumania were engaged
in celebrating the anniversary of the Emperor
Williams birth they were assailed in violent
manner by a city mob, when free fight en-
sued. The North German Consul was
assaulted and handled very roughly by
the rioters. This intelligence exhibits the
actual working of Eastern nativism against
German progress, and this induces to repe--
tition of the question which we placed before
the readers Of the HERALD few days since.
Will North Germany be forced to march East,
''head off" France, and, it may be, meet
Russia at the Holy Shrines? Prince Charles
of Roumania is Hohenzollern. He is ex-
seedingly rich, but may require the presence
of solid friendly army support after the
arrangement of family quid pro quo.

TIE NEVADA VIGILANCE CoNxITTEE.-
The Stockton Indepeadent Of March %, in
discussing the subject of murder and ita
punishment" in connection with the Vir.
ginia City New Vigilance Committee, has
the following:
The law designed to punish murder by
death may be regarded as imperative In A.
most all portions of the Pacific coast. In
this country there have been one or two ex.
ccutions of late years, but they have con
s,ituted the exception rather than the rule.
In Sacramento there have been none within
seven or eight years, although homicides
and murders Of every variety have been
constantly occurring there. In San Fran
cisco there has been no execution during
the past five years. although there have
been hundreds of homicides committed
there within that time. Murder in every
conceivable form takes place there by
shooting, stabbing, poisoning. druggtng'
drowning, stranyling, with slungshot Of
bludgeon. BY arson, by producing abortion
etc. The victim may be child seven years
old, the motive the most brutal, the means
the most fendish. The monster may be
hunted down and may confess the crime,
but the jury will make . mockery Of jussics
and farce of the trial by returning YER

the ground that the murderer is not Of
sound mind. Other cases occur In which
the common sense of every intelligent man
tells him that the bulk Of testimony FOL
the defense il perjured. but It may chime
with popular feeling, end the law, truth
and justice are I'll forgotten. The unfortu
