KU-KLUx IN KENTUCKY.

The people of Kentucky are at last be-
ginning to realize something of the dis
grace that rests upon them in consequence
of the outrages which are permitted at the
hands of masked marauders. These gen.
try have for sometime been rendering
many portions of that State at frst-class
pandemonium by their diabolical acts.
Just the other day train was stopped in
nine miles of Frankfort, the capital of the
State, and q colored United States mail
agent beaten and most shamefully mis-
treated AT another place on the same
road, the train was fired into with the
hope of killing the colored route agent. In
the same neighborhood, telegraph Office
was entered, the instruments smashed and
the operator ordered to leave.
A bill has been reported to the Kentucky
Legislature, which viii be acted upon to-
day. Itprovides the severest punishment
for masked men who go around commit
ting outrages, and spreading terror among
the people. Severe penalties are also pro-
vided against officers of the law, whose du-
" it becomes to see it strictly enforced.
twenty-five thousand dollars is appropri-
ated to the use of the Governor in enforc-
ing the provisions of the act. The evil has
become one too grievous to be borne, even
by Democratic Kentucky.

HARPER's WEEKLY, i'll noting some OF
the charges continuously made against
President Grant by the Democratic press
asks its readers 10 look upon them and
after comparison with the following
amongst CONGRATULATIONS OF currentevents,
to Judge between the tendencies of the two
parties. OF Democratic tendencies il
enumerates these:
" 1t is by Democratic votes that Gen. Blair,
who would have relinquished the victory in
which he took part, is elected to the Senate. II
is by Democratic votes that portrait of Gen.
Lee is ordered by the Virginia Senate, and a
portrait of Gen. Thomas is declined 1t is by
Democratic papers that Gen. Longstreet is de-
cried, because he did not persist in his hostile
| attitude to the Government 1t is by Demo-
cratic papers, in fine. that rebels are extolled
and the great results of the war are belittled.
Meanwhile the leaders of that party are seen to
be substantially unchanged. The old Copper
head element is supreme. The party orators
and papers cry out against Republican extrava-
gance and corruption, while in the Government
of the City of New York the whole country be-
holds an illustration of Democratic economy
and honesty !"

THE SIEGE OF PARIS.


Our dispatches this morning give in de-
tail the progress thus far of the capitula-
ton of the city of Paris. By the terms Sc
cured, the triumph of the Germans iscom-
plete.
The siege, though short, has been long
enough and important enough to merit
recapitulation of the important events.
The first investment began on the 18th of
September, on which day the Germans
with 100000 men appeared before the city,
,, and on the same day~it was declared In a
state of siege. 1t was then claimed that
Paris had 10000 men under arms. The
investment was begun on the southeastern
and western sides to cut off REINFORCE
ments, then gathering in Southern France.
| On the ed of October, the Germans had
completely invested the city, communica-
ton between the Paris and Tours Govern
ment was thereafter maintained by bal
| looms.
Minor engagements took place on the
31st of September, and at intervals of a few
days from that time until the capitulation.
The heaviest sorties were made on the
LIST of December with l5O, 600 men, and on
| the 10th inst. with full 100000 men, but
both were repulsed with great loss.
The several armies organized to relieve
Paris were all demolished in turn as soon
as their presence became dangerous to the
siege operations. The first army under
Paladines, was at the outset successful in
defeating Won der Tam, bnt was after
wards defeated by Frederick Charles and
Won der Tam combined. The defeat of
Chanzy, the second army raised to relieve
Paris, is still familiar to all.
The French forts were armed with guns
ranging from six and quarter to ten and u
half, throwing from IS to 200 pound shells.
The Germans had several hundred heavy
guns mounted on field carriages, throwing
shot weighing from 20 pounds upwards.
The final terms for peace are to be deter
mined within the next thirty days. The
number of prisoners surrendered withiR
Paris cannot fall short of half million arm
ed men. All things considered, this is the
most gigantic military operation ever
brought to so successful close, and viii
be the beginning of a new era in the histo-
ry of Europe.

Mr.. Morse will find in this weeks issue
of our WEEKLY an article about the Cum
berland table land, which is reliable as far
as we know.
The prices of lands we will give at length
in an article on that subject now in pre-
paration. AS to the spirit of our people,
we say, some few will be prejudiced against
you because you come from the North, but
the great mass of our people VIII receive
you kindly and treat you well. There are
q great many Northern people in East Ten
nessee, by far more than in any other Sec
ton of the South, and they are daily in
creasing in number. A perusal of the
back numbers of our paper will give you
pretty full information on most of the
points you inquire about. East Tennessee
is quiet and you viii be as safe here as
anywhere. We have no Kn-Klux here.
We have too much hemp, and too strong
disposition to use IL in such cases, to make
it safe for such spirits.

ceived by yesterdays mail, and shsw the
character of persons looking to East Ten
nessee, and the considerations inducing
them TO come here.

Tama County Republican. (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1867-1872, 1871-08-24

seems to have been transacted at the
house OF Judge vermilya. 1t was
here that Judge Carleton convened
the first District Court, September
18th, 1854"
The first trial held in the county
was that of John Carter against ]. H.
Hollen. Mr.. Hollen settled upon a
piece Of Government land which was
previously. claimed by Carter. How
ever, it was ascertainec in the trial
that Carer claimed large number
OF pieces with view of selling to
the settlers, many of whom paid
him handsome sums TO vacate. Hol.
len won the case. The next case was
that Of the State VS.. Everett. Ever
cit stole pair of boots, was tried by
. jury and convicted of theft.
But our time and space will not
admit Of following up the proceed
lugs Of the court. At one time the
county was infested with horse
thieves, yet not to the extent that
this netarious calling was carried on
in Benton county. A band of "Reg-
ulators," connecting with large or
ganization whose operations includ-
ed Buchanan, Blackhawk, Benton,
Dubuque, Clayton, Delaware and
Marshall counties. was organised 10
this county, and by the hearty CO.
operation of the citizens the coun.
~ was soon rid of horse thieves and
cut .throats generally.
This takes us far as we had intend
ed to 60 with the history Of the
county, and after giving the popula-
ton for the different dates Of which
the census of the county was taken,
we will consider at some length the
attractions as existing At present.
Having shown the area OF the
county, and after having given the
present population, one can see just
just how densely populated Tama
county is. As the county il capable
of sustaining a larger population
than most highly favored countries,
it will be seen that q great develop
ment Is yet to take place, and that at
no far distant day central Iowa will
be among the most wealthy countries
in our great Republic. Below is the
progress made in the
POPULATION
since the first organization Of the
county as given by the census re-
Tama County Republican. (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1867-1872, 1871-08-24

This shows . line OF progress
which is encouraging IN the extreme.
In the last FIVE years the population
OF the county has been more than
doubled, the increase being from
1865 to 1870, S,791. Should the pop
ulation gain in the same ratio for the
next FIVE years, the population will
be greater than that OF any county
IN the State at the present time
And remember, that the animal and
vegetable wealth Of tho county has
Increased in even greater ratio. As
we pause a moment to reflect upon
these facts, we are staggered by the
stupendous truth. Think OF it, read
er. Cities, villages, towns and cul-
tivated fields aud farms, where,
less than a quarter Of . century ago,
nought existed but tho verdure of
the prairies and the woods, and
their tenants wild beasts and birds,
and much wilder savages. Does it
not seem like the tales OF Arabian
Nights, or the hallucination of a
mind diseased.
In considering the
ATTRACTIONS
offered to new -comers by this beau
titul country, which we call Tama
county, we must treat upon its char
acter as represented by the water
courses, tracts of timber, the soil
etc. In this we must be brief, a.
every column is precions and must
be filed with the best matter.
