lative plan of voting is being discussed,
as q possible means of alleviating the

A KU-KLUX STORY CORRECTED.
N Aha R.aitr-u of the I1ninn and Anaricsn.

WALES STATION, Giles County, April "a,
1S71.-In the Tennessee Tribune of
March Is, which has just been brought
to my notice, appears an article censur-
ing me for the treatment of one J. G. Mel
son, insinustIng that was the cause of
'brushing" received by him; that he
was driven from home in order that l
might get possession of his property.
The facts of the case are these: He
lived with me last year, farmed on shares.
During the year l sold him horse, re-
tanning lien upon the horse, and also
lien upon his interest in the crop, for pay
ment of horse, and for supplies which 1
advanced him during the year. When
time came for settlement, bought his
cotton for II cents more than the
market price, which was insufficient to
pay for his supplies, and consequently |
was forced to take back the horse, which
l did legally. Thus you see the public
has been gulIed with an infamous lie,
either propagsted by Nelson or one Of his
worthy allies. As to his being whipped,
know nothing, further than that such
things as these were gotten up for the
purpose of passing the Ku-Klux bill in
Congress. JOSEPH RoeERs.

The spIeal of Mgr. De Merode and
other Belgian Catholics to M Theirs, re-
qUesting France to interfere in the Ro-
man question, reminds us that Italy has
heaped many indignities on PROSTATE
France in the past eight months. The in
dignation Of fFrenchmen againstyoung Italy
rivals their hate Of the terrible Germans.
If TO this we add the Catholic sentiment,
we must recognize elements which a
younger and more ambitious man than
Theirs might use TO advantage.
A foreign war sgsinst a
second rate power might prove an admir-
able vent for fratricidsl passion, and blunt
the disgrace Of past defeat. Who can
say that France may not yet lead a mo-
dern crusade for the rescue of Rome,
and recover therein her own strength and
unity2 The world has ceased to be as
tonished at anything she may do; she is
a perfect chaos of possibilities.
