NEW APPLICATION OF THE KU-KLUx LAW
1t is curious fact that one of the first cases in
Georgia, under the enforcement act, was not
against the KuKlux but against some negro
officials. 1t appears that the British barque
Grace" Captain Irving, touched at the port
of Darien early last July, and while there sew
eral of the crew mutinied. The captain there
upon had them placed in irons and afterwards
transferred to the city Jail. Application was at
once made to Tunis G. Campbell, a local magis-
trate, for a writ of habeas corpus, and that off.
cial not only granted the request but went
further and took possession of the "Grace,"
placed her in charge of several Of his executive
officers, and subjected the captain to various
other annoyances of semi-legal character.
Complaint of conspiracy was accordingly made
against Campbell and his men, and the case
was brought'befor United States Commission
err Lee. The trial occupied some time and at
tracted much attention, but the commissioner,
while censuring Campbell, held that the evil
dence did not sustain the. charge of conspiracy,
as the crime is defined in the Ku-Klux act, and
discharged him and his associates

ALABAMA ARBITRAToRs.-The Jour al of
Commerce says the Alabama claimants are
much pleased with the composition of the Ar
bitration Board. Mr. Charles Francis Adams
was their first, almost only, choice to represent
the United States. No fairer minded or better
qualified Englishman than Chef Justice Geek
burn could have been selected. King Victor
Emmanuel picked his best spare man in APP
pointing Gen. Menabra. Switzerland con-
tributes Jacques Staempfi, an ex President of
the gallant little Republic, experienced, learn
ed and Just. Brazil has yet TO name her rep
resentative, but a wise and liberal sovereign
like Don Pedro may be trusted to give the
Board the ablest statesman at his disposal. As
sistant Secretary of the State Davis, whose ia.
miliarity with the Alabama claims in minute
and extensive, will probably act as agent OF
our government in aid of Mr. Adams. His
function will be to prepare the papers and ex-
pedite business generally. Since the notice
was given nearly all the necessary documents
have been furnished by American claimants
and are now on file at the State Department..
Mr.. Richard H. Dana is Guaranty mentioned
as attorney for the United States before the
Board, and this appointment will be generally
approved. He will probably be assisted by
other legal lights.

IT is reported. that Gen. Nc Cook will re-
tire from the canvass in Ohio and perhaps
from the candidacy. The following extract
from late speech, certainly gives evidence of
confusion, but is not SO strongly marked as to
render his withdrawal necessary unless it is
followed by the retirement of other candidates
and orators whose efforts are but little more
jnteligible:

DIsCoURAGING TO BEER DRINKERS. -Genu-
inc beer is as hard to find as pure ale or porter
Not only are malt and hop beers largely adul-
terated, but beers are made without malt or
hops. Sugar, honey, molasses and Iliquorce
are used for malt; alum, opium, gentian, quas-
STA, aloes, cocculus. indicus, amara, tobacco
and nux for hops; saltpetre, jalap, salt, maran-
ia. green copperas marble dust, oyster Shells
sulphate of lime, hartshorn, shavings, nutgalls,
potash, soda, ETC., 10 prevent sonrfng. The
beautiful califiour head often comes from green
vltriol, alum and salt. The smack of age and
the tlngle to the palate often comes from alum,
and new beer is made old in few hours by
oil OF vltrlol. Take your ale, beer and porter
if you will, but remember its strength or intox-
icating qualities may be due to the deadly COG.

YEARS AGO when our manufactures were
in their infancy and our workmen lacked that
degree OF skill that must come from expert
ence, the products OF the factories and shops
OF the United States did not compare favora
blv with those of other countries. But this
is no longer the case. In some departments,
where machinery has been applied onr arti-
sans have been able to suppass those of other
countries. This is true in the manufacture
of agricultural and mechanical implements
During the past dozen years great progress
has been made in the manufactures of wooden
and cotton fabrics. Most of onr readers
can remember when a piece of well finished
American wooden goods was not to be found:
but now these are supplied in the greatest va
riety OF which the justly famous Harris goods
may be named as sample but by no means
the only brand of American manufacture
that are of a high degree of excellence. In
the commoEer goods, such as every day work
people wear, the American manufacture not
only furnishes an article equally as good as its
competitors but in greater variety and better.
And Judging from the great improvement in
Ibis respect the past few years, we may well
expect still greater Improvements in the ft1-
ture. By far the larger part of our people are
clothed in garments made of American fabrics
and it is safe to say there never was a time
when they were better or more tastily dressed
In our own State, within half dozen wears.
quite number of new factories have sprung
up that are putting into the market excellent
fabrics. Our leading Portland houses are
The agents for some OF these. 1t is probably,
hardly known that in the town of Hartland
in Somerset County, there is factory that
iurns out the best grades of wooden shawls of
all patterns and prices. These are sold to one
house in New York aud are of a fine quality
as any of the grades made in Scotland. II
may yet be fashionable to seek for goods Of
foreign manufacture but in few wears. i.
there ale no adverse circumstances, there will
hardly be a department in which American
workmen will not compete with foreigners in
every respect.

REMARKABLE SURGICAL OPERATIoN.-An
uncommon case of opthalmic surgery was late
ly performed at jackson, Miss, by DIR. Edward
Lea of Durant, upon one of Gov. Alcorn's
children, little girl. 1t appears that about
six years ago the child accidentally plunged a
knife blade into her right eye, destroying the
sight. About six months ago sympathetic
irritation was developed in the sound eye, and
progressed with great rapidity. DR.. Lea re-
commended its immediate extirpation, but the
parents shrunk from infcting such terrible
operation upon the child, and nothing was
done. The eye grew worse, until the little suf
fer sought for darkened corners and Stunned
the light of day. Finally, says the Jackson
Leader, the father and mother gave their con-
sent to have the right eye removed, and DR..
Lea, assisted by three other physicians, per-
formed the delicate and dangerous operation.
The child was placed under the influence of
chorofOrm, and in very brief time the eye
was taken out, the patient suffering but little.
The child is since doing WELL and the sound
eye is improving wonderfully. DIR. Lea thinks
he can substitute an artificial eye for the one
removed, so as to preserve the harmony of the
girls features.
DEATH OF THE CHAMPION OARsMAN.-Early
yesterday, the telegraph informed US of the
death of Renforth, the stroke of the Tyne
crew. james Renforth was twenty eight years
old, five feet seven and ha If inches high, and
weighing one hundred and fifty-seven pounds,
though his whole physique above the legs was
that of a man six feet and much heavier
:ulk d. l.. l~a.. -
very short, though sturdy and muscular legs,
gave him dumpy and understood look, which
his large bulldog head, and naturally rather
unintelectual appearance enhanced. His life
has been mostly that of bOatman, though his
first match of Importance was pulled against
j. Bright (spare man of his late crew. whom
he defeated in March, 1868. He next defeated
James Taylor (the bow oar of the crew that
rowed at Lachine), in the Durham regatta. He
afterward defeated the brothers Robert and
James Boyd. Then he took Chambers's place
August 1866, he won the championship in the
sculler's race, defeating Percy (bow oar of the
present crew. and Sadler The chief prize at
the Chester regatta then fell into his hands,
and his four-oared crew in the Burton regatta
carried off the honors. In November, 1868 he
wrested from Kelly the championship of the
Thames The defeat of the other two members
of his crew by himself and Taylor in double
scull race, followed. In October, Bright won a
race from him by foul In August, 1869, at
the Thames regatta, Kelly and Sadler were
again vanquished by him, but they beat him
and Taylor in November following in double
scull race.
