ssS~A Milwaukee paper gives cur
rency to the rumor that Senator
Doolittle expects to make the Re-
publican majority in this state small
er by one or two thousand, in the
hope that the national Democratic
convention next year will nominate
him for the presidency. Every Re-
publican and every honest Democrat
who respects honesty and love OF
principle in our public men should
see that Mr.. Doolittle's hopes are
buried beneath a heavy Republican
majority.

Ku-Klux Reign Of Terror.

We publish on the first page Judge
Bonds eloquent address in answer to
the appeal for mercy in behalf of
members Of the Rutherford khan ut
their trial for ku kiux depredations
in North Carolina We ask presu-
al of this article, especially by the
democrats who have led themselves
30 believe and all along claimed that
the ku.klux outrages reported in
the Northern papers were republican
lies manufactured soely for party
purposes. Thore were Is under indict-
ment at Raleigh, n G., before Judge
Bond, u S. District Judge. The o..
5. District Attorney entered n0lle
proSeqW as to three Of them, three
plead guilty, three were acquitted
md nine found guilty by the jury
and sentenced to Imprisonment and
fine. There are still about FIVE hum
dred ku.kIux indictments pending
before the same Judge in North Car
DINA, and as many in South Carroll
ma. Who can not fail to be convinced,
now after judicial trial and conviction
Of members of the ku-klux khan,
that there exist 10 all parts of the
South secret political organizations
whose members arc sworn TO oppose
the government and to punish and
murder loyal men and republicans
wherever found The new ku-klux
law which the democracy every
whore have united in condemiug has,
it has seemed, proven operative; and
a great blessing to the country IN
restoring order at the South.

ACCEPTING THE SITUATIoN.-The confede-
racy had few wiser or more energetic coun-
sellers than Governor Reynolds, of Missouri,
or better soldiers than General Joe Shelby, of
the same State. When all was lost they
sought an asylum in Mexico, and to their
patriotic advice and judicious management Is
owing in great measure, the strong Ameri-
can feeling which sprang up among the ex-
Confederates in that country and caused them
to return home fully dispossessed of all ideas
of secession or opposition to the federal gov
eminent. At a meeting Of ex-Confederates at
Huntsville, Mo-, yesterday, speeches were
made by Governor Reynolds and General
Shelby, and at their instance resolution was
passed that it was the duty Of all to turn their
backs upon the past and grasp manfuliy the
duties and responsibilities of the future. These
are words of wisdom which 1t will be well for
the South to act upon. Let Southerners act
sensbly and accept the situation in the same
good faith as have the Missourians, and their
section will soon become the richest and most
prosperous portion of the Union.

Another Crisis Browne IN Franco.
1t will be seen by the telegraphic dispatches
we publish from Versailles and London that
the National Assembly is in the throes Of an
other crisis. The proposition of Gambetta
for the dissolution Of the Assembly, for the
election of Constituent Assembly in its place,
and for the resignation of President Theirs
when this shall be elected, has created great
fermentation. The discussion on the PROPOSE
ton was very exciting, and grave consequences
are apprehended. Whatever Gambetta's OBJ
ject may be, and 1t is possible that this ambi-
tious and bold leader may be contemplating
his own elevation to higher power, there is
little doubt that the present Assembly does not
fairly represent public sentiment, and that the
charge made against it of its discussions hav-
ing proved fruitless is true. The Assembly
was elected under peculiar circumstances and
at an exciting period, when the French
people hardly knew what to do or expect.
They are cooler and in o more serious
and reflective mood now. A fair vote
taken at the present time, or within a short
time, would, no doubt, honestly reflect public
opinion and bring in the foreground states
men having the confidence Of the people.
Still there may be danger in resorting to such
an experiment, for all the factions-impe-
rialist, royalist and every shade of the repub-
lican factons-would be let loose, and q
desperate struggle, probably, would ensue.
Then, again, if Gambetta and the Republican
Union Deputies are resolved to push their
proposition conflict with the opposition and
Theirs government may be the consequence.
The result may be a revolution without an
election. The news from France will be
highly interesting till this question is settled
one way or the other.

ABOUT ELECTION TIMES department clerks
in Washington are treated with distinguished
consideration. The acting Secretary of the
Interior has granted to such clerks in his de-
partment as come from Pennsylvania ten days
extra leave of absence in order to go home to
vote. This despatching government employees
throughout the country on political missions
at public expense has become most serious
evil and cannot but be fraught with mischief
to the party that practices it. 1t is prosti-
tuting government power to personal interest,
and is ali outrage upon the party opposing the
administration. 1t is direct interference by
the government with elections, more effective
than bullets and bayonets. President Grant
has already reformed many abuses which had
grown up under previous administrations let
him 90 step further and abolish this great
corruption, which is yearly assuming more
formidable proportions.

A PREPosrERoUs PRoPosITIoN-That Of the
Richmond Wig, of making it democratic
measure of reform to pay the South three
thousand millions of dollars for the loss of
four millions Of slaves, the money to be divided
among the freedmen as sop for their suffrages.
We would remind our Richmond contemporary
that this thing does not tally with the new
democratic departure, the acceptance of the
new constitutional amendments; for the four
teenth amendment emphatically declares that
''neither the United States nor any State shall
assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred
in aid of instruction or rebellion against the
United States, or any claim for the loss or
emancipation of any slave; but all such debts,
obligations and claims shall be held illegal
and void" How are you going to get over

THE FnTHIEsT CITY IN CHRIsTENDoM.-
According to the facts reported from an ex-
tensive reconnaissance of our streets, markets,
docks, &C., by an evening contemporary, the
Astounding filth in the lower wards is shocking
to contemplate, and our markets and market
places are the dirtiest in the world. In fact,
it needs no extensive explorations to satisfy
the incoming traveller that New York at this
time is the flthiest city he has ever entered
and that all our street cleaners have doubtless
been off for two or three months in the country
for the benefit of their health. But still, with
the steady advances this way through Western
Europe of the Asiatic cholera, the ques-
ton recurs-Will our local authorities
attend to this business Of street cleaning or
must the citizens, in mass meeting assembled.
organize to do the work themselves? That ID
the question.

A New Spnnish Loan.

We are constantly hearing of loans nova
days-of national loans-as if the principal
business of governments was to run into
debt. True, some of the loans spoken Of are
only a change of securities or the form Of
debt, such, for example, as the so-called new
loan of the United States; but too many are
the creation of additional indebtedness. This,
we suppose, is the case with Spain just now
in the issue, as it is called, of new loan Of
hundred and fifty millions Of pesetas. This
means, no doubt, the issue of paper money, or
promises to pay in some form or another, to
that amount. Spain is in bad financial con-
dition, yet she still clings to all the extrava-
gances of monarchical governments large
standing army, an expensive navy and costly
colonies in chronic revolution. The Spanish
people have to pay dear for their pride and
these Injuries. 1t Is the same to some extent
with all the nations of Europe. Nearly oil
are in condition which in the case of private
individuals would be called bankruptcy. They
are deeply in debt, with no prospect of paying
their debts; are living up to the last dollar
that can be wrung from the people, and many
of them are borrowing from year to year to
meet deficiencies caused by extravaganza.
Can this 60 on forever? There must be some
limit to the ability of people to bear such bur-
dens and some point where debt can no longer
be accumulated.

AND Now SAN FRANCISCO, like New Or
leans, Philadelphia and New York, comes in
with her wrangling republican cliques and
fighting factions. There was precious row
among the outsiders and insiders at San Fran
cisco, the other evening, in which knives and
pistols were drawn; but in which there was
no blood shed, as discretion on both sides
proved the better part Of valor. The result,
however, is that the republicans are the same
s'happy family" in San Francisco that they are
in New York, and that, instead of being ''held
together by the cohesive power Of the public
plunder," they are broken up into fighting
factions over the spoils.

A NUISANCE THAT NEEDS ABATINe.-The
other day Mrs. General Saerman arrived in
this city, and was received by the impudent
hackmen at the depot in the rudest way,
being pushed and jostled with the utmost
violence. Every lady who tries to leave
any of our depots receives similar treat
ment. 1t is the duty of the police to see that
this nuisance is abated. There is no excuse
for it, and we hope Superintendent Kelso
will issue an order that will have the effect of
keeping these unruly fellows within the line
Of proper behavior.

The RoUMANIAN DIFFICULTY, says our
special cable report from Vienna, has been
satisfactorily settled by Prince Bismarck and
Count Beust at Gastein. The German bond
holders are to be irdemnifed by the Rouma-

purpose by Roumania.
