THE KU.RLUX BILL.

The Ku-Klux Bill, as amended and
sent to the Senate is thus summed up by
the Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Courier. u.... ....
sFirst- Conspirscies, or the cOmbina-
ton of two or more persons to deprive
any class of persons of equal protection
of the laws. are defined as felonies, pun
ishsble in the United States Courts by
fine and Imprisonment, while the injured
parties have recourse there for damages.
Second-In the case of obstruction TO
the laws of State, OF the United States,
50 as to deprive any person of any privi-
lege, immunity, etc, and the State au-
tborities are unable OF fail to afford pro.
lection, or TO apply TO the President for
protection, the President may use the
National forces, thereby meaning, it is
believed, the militia, as well as
the army, to arrest any offenders and 70
hand them over 10 the United States
Courts. the act of 1853 is revived, which
requires the military 10 hand list of i'm
nrisooed persons to the United State;
Courts, and then if the term sdjourns and
no indictment is found, all such are to ht
discharged. Third-After proclamation
the President may suspend the writ o.
hsbeas corpus till the first of June, 1872
whenever and wherever he finds numcr
Gus unlawful combinations. FOurth-Th'
iron.clad or teri. oath for jurors in Unit, e
States Courts is abolished, but the judge
may exact an oath of the juror that h
has never belonged to the Ku-Klux."
All interest now centres in the Senate
which is more Radical than the House
and the bill may be sent back with sti
more odious features.

SOUTH CAROLINA.

The Cincinnati Commercial has sent
q correspondent to South Carolina to in
quire into and report upon the condition
of affairs in that State. He writes from
COlumbis, April /:
Nine thousand dollars worth of sta
tionery for a single session of the South
Carolina Legislature! Comment on this
is unnecessary. With the exception
of a spelling-boOk and first reader
TO each member, they do not stand
in need of any great amount OF sta
tionery. Every Senator has his page,
messenger and clerk, all drawing full pay,
to say nothing of stealsge. Then, besides
all this, there is an army of black and
white male and female hangers on, who
manage TO live from the pickings and
steslings. If Ohio had such Legisls-
ture they would sll be kicked out of the
capital scross the State and into the Ohio
ryer In q time so short as to be incom-
patible with prayers. Give US An honest
Legislature, cay the people, and We will
pay our taxes and put down the Ku-Klux.
The first known of Parker, the present
Treasurer of the State, he was saloon
keeper in Hsverhill, Massachusetts. Dur
ing the war Parker was a private, and
after the war settled in Charleston, and
went into his old and congenisl business
of keeping q grocery. -Four years ago
he was not considered good for his debts,
and it is stated by those who knew him
at that time, that he was as poor as
church mouse. But how MOVE Witness
the magic effect of being Treasurer of
SouthCuolins. To-day he is considered the
wealthiest Office holder in Columbia. He
lives in elegant style, keeps six or eight
horses, and enteItsins copper colored and
csrpet-bsg friends ike sprince. His
wife displays herself in magnificent
euuipsge, the finest in the city, and hel
bands are bedecked and heavy with di
Almonds. Meanwhile, everybody accuses
Parker of being rascal, and he takes nc
particular pains to deny it. There is q
discrepancy between his books and those

and South Carolina-sre by far the most
numerous, and they are at all times ready
to give any needful support to the au-
thorities in the proper execution of the
laws, and the preservation of the peace.
Give them men of character and respon-
sibility in the executive legislative and
judicial offices-men whose interests are
identical with those of the people, and
who have no enemies to punish nor friends
to reward, and there will be no more
necessity for Federal interference than
there will be in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

A NORTHERN gentleman who has been
travelling through the South says Of the
negroes that Gas they begin to have
means of their own and are required to
pay taxes, they become sensitive to the
vinainy of the carpet bag governments,
and disposed to revolt against the cor
ruption which lays such extraordinary
burdens upon the people" This is no;
only true but natural. If the negroes
hAd been the property holders of the
South, they would not have for moment
tolerated the carpet-bsg governments,
which have been the financial ruin of the
Southern States. AS they acquire pro
perry they begin to feel the shoe of taxa
ton pinch. Then they inquire whether
it is better to longer support Radical cor
ruption or join the white population in
putting il down.

The Boston Tarelcr tell this story:
The pet Of family residing not far
from La Grange street, is boy who
has recently passed his fifth year, aud
having just donned his first jacket and
trowsers is attending a primary
school. The other afternoon he failed
to come home at tho usual hour, much
to tho alarm of the household, aud af-
tera long search he was found somo
lime offer dark, at the Providence de-
pot. lie was sent TO bed without
much explanation, though it is possi-
bic his treatment was what Solomon
would have recommended, in such an
emergency. The next day bo was at
the breakfast table, evidently none
the worse for the lesson, and perhaps
the wiser. Taking advantage of q
lull in the conversation customary
at the morning meal, he turned his
grave countenauce toward the head Of
the table, and giving free vent to his
over.charged mind, he exclaimed, on
tell you, mamma, how it happened.
After school, went part of the way
home with Mary -, and at corn
er of the street. where she left me, l
kissed her and she kissed me, aud
then | found was lost" There was
an explosion around tho table jast
about that time. 1t is suspected this
is not the first young gentlemen who
has boon lost under similar circrm-
stances.
