The ku-Klux Bill.

The Butler, Shellal a-ger, Morton,
Ku-klux bill has passed the Senate at
Wa hington.. The object of the bill
is to subyert he State Courts, and
usurp the rights of ths States, and
place all judicial power in the Fed
eral Courts. As constituted, the SUI
preme Court of the United States will
hereafter merely register and confirm
the edicts OF the greot central tyrant,
called a President.
One by one, the reserved rights OF
the States have been swept from the
Constitution, by Radical Legislation
and military usurpation under the
direction Of Grant, and which a vcnal
Congress attempts to legaIize by pass,
ing ku-klux bills
The present bill proposes 70 confer
upon Grant, the power to suspend, at
his own option, the writ of Ha6eas
CorpHs, ard declare martial law when
ever and wherever he pleasesl He
can then march his soldiers into a State
and overthrow her Courts, defy her
Executive and Civil authorities, and
trample ruthlessly upon the rights OF
the people at his own discretionl
The bill provides, in violation OF
tho Constitution, that without the re-
quest or consent of the Governor or
Legislative authorities of a State, the
President can set aside her laws and
arraign those politically opposed to
him in a Military Court for trial and
punishment.
This monstrous act is intended to be.
devil, irritate and exasperate the peo-
pie North and South, into acts of re-
sentiment, so as to justify the interfe.
renee of Grant, in the election of 1872
and thus secure his own reelection
to the Presidency.
The bill is virtually a declaration OF
war on the liberties of the people ; and
Grant and his minions will be reapon-
sible for the consequences.
The ku-klux stories are the grossest
fabricstions, and intended to justify
the passage of that dangerous and most
nischieyous measure.
There is more trouble ahead

Lord Roscoe, in the wrong and main
tain the truthfutness of their Cores
pendent, who gets his news from Rad
ical sources as to what occurs in exec
utive session. I know that no Demo
cratic Senator will reveal what trans
Pires in secret session, and OF course the
Radical Senator or Clerk, who betrays
that which should be secret tells the
truth for the pay which he receives for
his news. Radicalism makes every
thing pay.
The next National Democratic Con
~veutiou has lately been the topic Of
general discussion among the Demo-
cratic members of Congress the place
wherein to hold it being the primary
question, but from the unanimity with
which members agree to the wishes OF
the West in that respect there IS TO
doubt but that St. Lonis viii be chos.
en-. The Western members very tru-
ly state that the West will be the
scene Of a fierce contest in 1872, and
that the issue will be decided there.
They claim that the holding of the
Convention in the West will give
them political strength, which is con-
coded by members from the other
sections, hence the willingness to &C
cede to the desire of tho Western
members. They claim that st Louis
is admirably fitted for the purpose of
holding our Convention in. being CEN
trally located and easy ofaccess, being
connected by railroads with all parts
of the country. The City is healthy
and pleasant, having ample accommo-
dations in the large number of exten-
sive hotels to provide for the great
numbers of persons who will visit the
City during the holding of the Conven-
ton. They also claim that no more
graceful compliment could be paid to
the States of the West than by this
recognition of their vast industrial in
terests and that it would also be n
merited tribute to the Democratic
| States of that section for their recent
victories overR adicalism. The dispo-
sition on the part of the Democratic
members and leaders to concede eve
rything that will conduce to the Sue
cess of the party in the next Presiden-
tial election is shown by their ready
acquiescence in their choice of st.
Louis as the place for holding our
next National Convention.

WASHINGTON.

April 10, 1871.
STATES & UNIoN.-The Ku-klux
monster was again introduced into the
Senate yesterday by Morton, the chief
exhibitor of the beast. This time it
took the shape of a memorial from the
Republican executive committee of
New Orleans who urge that Congress
shall pass a severe Ku-klux bill. As
there are no Ku-klux in Louisiana, as
stated by their representative in the
Senate, I can only account for the
action of this committee on the ground
that they never learned the Eleventh
Commandment to mind your own
business. Before the animal was re-
moved, Pool, the s~callawag North Car
Gilman, got the floor and for the third
time told the same dismal story about
the dreadful Ku-klux. He might as
we'll have gone into the pines of his
native State and have spoken to the
trees as none but q few of his own
class of Radicals listened to his terri
bic dreary, prosy, vaporings, and yet
Pool, is not exhausted on the subject
of the Ku-klux. The bill will be pass
ed today.
In the House there vas quite a live
ly time ove the deficiency %appropria-
ton bill. The amendments made by
the Senate were SO recklessly wild that
even the House Radicals were forced
to oppose them. The usual election
eering appropriation under the pretext
of providing for the destitute negroes
of this Paradise, amounting to $4,000
was passed of course, but when an
amendment asking an appropriation
of 5000 to rebuild the Convent of
the Sisters Of Mercy at Charlestown,
which was destroyed during. the late
war, was offered it was objected to
three different times by the Radicals.
The justice of the claim has been ad.
mitted by both Houses, as no money
can repay the Sisters kindness to the
Union officers who, were confined in
| Charlestown at the time it was under
fire, but the Sisters of Mercy do not
vote and the negroes do and that's inst
the difference. Radical gratitude is
very thin when votes are not in ques:
ton.
Grants faithful henchman, Benny
Butler, wanted to crafty his master
by having the tenure of Office law re,
pcaled, but his desire was ~squelched
by an objection.
That Congress will adjourn on Sat
urday, is very doubtful, though the
Senate are determined to have a vote
to-day on the Ku klux bill ii they have
to sit up all the night.
The statement made by Senator
Conkling in the Senate, the other day
as to the ~inaccuracy of the New York
TJibu1s's Washington Correspondent
in regard to what he said and did in
executive session was taken up and
criticised by said Correspondent who
reiterates his former statements and
SAYS that Conking virtually admits
the truth of what he wrote by making
a mild personal explanation, instead
of moving for al Investigation &C.
Mr.. Conkling had better lord it over
his colleagues in the Senate by his
vulgar assumptions of authority aided
by the power of the Presidential lash,
than to attempt a conflict with the
newspapers. The Tribune let him
down easily but did not fail. though
the language was mild. to place my

The mournful lists of yesterdays casualties
are elsewhere printed but the chief and most
culpable victims are not there mentioned.
Put down among the killed, A. OAKEY HALL.
Set down as dangerously if not fatally wounded,
JOHN T. HOFFMAN.
The deadest man in the MOrgue, borne
thither by the police last night, is not so dead
as the man who undertook to silence the police
and give the rioters full sway. The worst
wounded man in the hospitals is not
so badly wounded as the Governor of New
York, who has not yet proved his Ignorance
on Monday of the surrender consummated
Monday night by his political associates and
subordnates, which he could have neutral
lied, and did not.
Add to the list the one man promoted for
his share in this business. His name is
Theodore F. Randolph. And above all, give
honor to the people of New-York, who rose
for the Right as they have not risen since
Sumter.

Mr. Franklin L. FELTON, writes long letter of cor
rection in reply to the statements of our ashngon
correspondent respecting the extension OF the Kelly
patent Stripped of strong language, the correction
appears to amount to this that Mr.. Feltons COM
plant against the examiner who Is SAID 10 nave
argued in favor of Mr.. Kellys extension was not
referred to Commissioner Leggett and that no COM
munication on the subject has taken place between
Mr.. Leggett and Mr. FELTON,. The complaint was
made las our correspondent stated to the secretary
of the Interior, who was solicited to investigate
this matter personally and not delegate 1t to some
subordinate" We cannot see that the mistake

imnortance or that it in any way invadates tne

A Gable dispatch informs us that NJ. Favre
declares that the late letter of NJ. Theirs to
the Pope is apocryphal. That is a mild way
of putting it. The OdicieI Journal goes fur
ther, and says that the letter Is forgery
But it happens we have had two letters
or two versions of the same, puporting
TO be from NJ. Theirs to the Pope. The
first contained an humble apology for
the inability of France to interfere in
bebalf of the temporal authority of the
Sovereign Pontiff and declaration that ltal-
ian unity is impossible. The second version.
which seemed reasonable one, represented
Thiers as dissuading the Pope from quitting
Rome for France, arguing. that such course
,yould complicate affairs with Italy, and only
promising to mediate in the interest OF peace
and goodwill between the Kingdom of Italy
and the Head of the Church. 1T is quite pos

MUNICIPAL RULE-THE AMENITIES or

We believe in downright plain speaking.
He who. having been wantonly illuminated
takes four lines to convey the impression that
his accuser is a slahderer and liar. seems to
us unduly regardless of the brevity of life and
the urgency of benefcent work.
But an assault in force on your front can
rarely be resisted with effect by any flank
movement or demonstration. Ere the desired
position is gained, your opportunity is lost.
The N. I. Times criticises sharply, sometimes
savagely, our City's present rulers. The re-

Suppose these averments to be facts, we fail

English husband of an actress tell the truth 7

The Democrats of North Carolina, being
once more in power in the Legislature, desire
10 amend their State Constitution so as to get
rid summarily of the State debt, and restore
the old order of things" The Constitution
commands the Legislature to make provision
for the payment of the debt, so it is proposed
to dispose of all intervening obstacles to
amendment, and to legislate Democrats into
Office, restore the whipping-pOst pillory and
brandng-iron, and other ante-Rebelion insti-
tutions belonging to the old order of things
How these devoted Conservatives propose to
accomplish all this is given in detail by Ia
correspondent, whose letter we print in another
