If the ku-K Klux bill is an extraordinary
piece of Legislation, pray tell us what do
you call the Ku-Klux bands? We have
plenty of indignation about the law in the
Democratic papers, but not word about
the Williams it was designed to punish. May
We not conclude, therefore, that it is not so
much the law itself as its uses that SO much
disturb the Democracy

The reports of the Kuklux crimes con-
tinue to multiply, but only for short time.
The enforcement bin rigidly applied will
soon quell all disturbances. Opposition to
its provisions is rapidly passing away, and
its concise and practical terms aud liberal
spirit, in the full light of the Declaration Of
Independence and the Constitution, will
soon guarantee the lie, liberty, and property

vote in 1869, when his majority was
only 1896, and yet it gives us seven
teen out of the thirty three districts by safe
majorities in almost every instance, there
being but'two un Ter one thousand. On tie
other hand the Democrats have sixteen dis
tricts on vote in which they came nearest
carrying TIE State since the war, and two
of them by majorities that can be reversed.
For instafice, the district composed OF Sny-
der, Perry and Northufn berland, is accred-
tied Democratic, and gave 6S majority for
Packer III 1869, whereas, last fall it was Re-
publican by 626 majority. Luzerne, which
complains so bitterly of being annexed to
Monroe and Pike need not despair for the
Democratic majority III the counties COM
prisng the district was only $50 last fall,
and the same energy that carried Luzerne
over TO the Republican column then will
revolutionize the district in the future.
As regards the Representative districts
the prospect for steady Republican ma
jority are no less encouraging. OF the
eighteen Philadelphia districts thirteen are
Republican, and outside Of the city the dis
tricts are SO arrrneed that we can, at almost
any election at which a full vote is cast, se-
cure more than the six majority ostensibly
awarded US. There is nothing in the blu

1t is the best that could have been devised
10 the anomalous condition of Affairs at Har-
rlsburg, and it aims to give the fullest and
freest representation to all the voters of the
State, while scouting to both political par

unfair; and because it may displease our
friends in one or two counties, and cur enc
mics in one or two others, is no reason why
1t should not become law

the injustice Of the bin, cites as an instance
Of glaring outrage the case of Phila delphia,
which, with I5S, ,632 taxables, has only four
Senators, while another district, with only
60, 600, has three. This is a glaring out
rage, bat it is pe-petrated by the Constitu-
tion of Pennsylvania, by whose provisions
no city or county is allowed to have more
than four Senators.

New Senators.

The Republicans of Michigan have
nominated Thos. NJ. Ferry for tho
United States Senate, in place of
Jacob II. Howard. who closes u term
OF twelve years service in the Senate
March 4th, next. Ferry has been
six or eight years in the House, and
is man of most excellent character,
and solid, but not snowy, talent.
Howard was reputed the best lawyer
in the Senate when sober, but, then,
unfortunately for him, he was seldom
ever in that condition of late, VIII ich
we opine, was the principal reason
which induced the legislature OF his
State to throw him overheard.
In Minnesota the Republicans have
nominated Will. Window tice
Norton, Democrat, deceased. He,
too, WAS six or eight years in tho
House, and was reputed the hand
somest man in that body. He has
moro solid than brilliant qualities.
Ferry and Window both are in every,
respect great improvements on their
immediate predecessors, for which
their States and tho country at large

Sprague.

From our Yesterdays dispatches
IL will be seen that Senator sprague
of Rhode Island il about coming to
grief. Secretary Belknap has nm
earthed report made in 1865 ipub-
lishsd in to-day's CoURrEa) BY Judge
Advocate General Holt in which
charges are made, and apparently
well established, which would have
81 that time sent The little man 10
pounding stone in some state PRISON,
had he not been ono Of the richest
men in the United States, and the
sonin-law Of Chief Justice Chase. Ii
Yesterday the Senate appointed q
Committee to investigate these char
ges consisting Of Thurman, Hsmlin,
Trumbull, Howe and Williams, Eve
ofthe best men IN the Senate, whose
report will be looked For with
interest.
It is q we'll known fact that the
house Of A. 4 w. Sprague (the
latter the individual in ques-
tion) which is the largest print
manufacturing establishment at
Providence, Rhode Island, or in the
entire country, for that matter, had
their agents lowering on the fanks
and rear Of our south western armies,
all during the war, but it was never
suspected by the public at large that
Major General Of our armies, and
later during the struggle . Senator
in Congress- ,lcould be 80 avaricious,
and SO entirely destitute Of every
principle OF honor and patriotism, as
to be, during oil that time, engaged
in surreptitiously shipping munitions
ofwar and other contraband articles
into the enemies lines, receiving in
lieu thereof cotton to run his manu-.
factories. ~ s
It will be remembered that Senator
Simmons, Of Rhode Island, was ex-
pelled from the Senate of the United
States, about the opening otthe war,
fer similar offences, and we hope the
impending investigation may be tull
and searching, and if Sprague is
found guilty, let him follow ia the
footsteps of his illustrious pre-
decessor. a
