MINISTER WAsHBURNE AND THE
CoMMUNIsTs.-New York, June 20.
A Paris correspondent says: "On
May Fl, when body of communists
entered Mr.. Washburne's house with
the intention Of committing depreda-
tons, the commander of the Prussian
forces to the northward of Paris said
that if Washburne was not, in person
and property, held inviolable, the
city would be bombarded within
twenty-tour hours. This warning
had It's effect but Paris was at the
mercy Of the American Minister, and
at his word q thousand guns would
have opened on the city"

late Hon. Q. Il. Vallandigham, to-day,
was one Of the most imposing charac-

about two miles in length, and was
composed of persons Of all political
parties and walks Of life. Business
in many parts Of the city was suspen-
ded during the passing Of the funeral
cortege. The county and city build
ings, together with many private
residences, were draped in mourning.

Speech by Theirs.

LONDON, June 21.-A speech deliv.

Of Napoleon as absurd, and the real
cause Of the disasters which have be-

by Gambetta was excusable. He
thought peace ought to have been
made with Germany when success on
the part of the Army of the Loire
had become hopeless.
1t was, said Theirs, necessary to
pay the German indemnity quickly;
still he was not in favor Of levying
anincome tax, or the establishment

AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURY, COLUMBIA COUNTY PA.

ONE of the most ridiculous stories yet
heard is that told in court at Columbia
yesterday during the trial Of the South
Carolina marauders. A witness admits
he is member of the ku Klux, and
says the plan was formed in 1868 for
self defence and to prevent incendiar-
ism, but has nothing to say concerning
the wholesale murders committed in
the several counties Of South Carolina.
--F0mey's Press.
Not so ridiculous story, after all.
The witness, we doubt not, told the
naked truth; tho same kind of tesIi.
mony has been given by every witness
who admitted being a member of the
Ku Klux Klan. This X. X. organiza-
tion was started when the negroes of
the Southern States were burning gin =
houses, barns and private dwellings
with impunity. Not only were they
burning but they were stealing every
thing they could lay hands on. 1t was
right, then, perfectly right, for white
men to band together TO save their fam
lilies and their properties from dcs;ruc.
tion. Several negroes caught in the
very act of firing properties, were shot
down in their tracks, AMI this was right,
too. Aud these are the "murders com.
mittcd,' about which Forney pirates so
much. Any man seeing negro plac
ing the torch to his property would be
justified in taking that utsr'o's life. -

rect the machinery of republican insti-

THE valedlctory address of Governor
Haight, of CalifQrnia,to to the Legislature
of that State, Is an able and satisfactory
official paper. The Governor calls at
tention TO the fact, that during his ad.
ministration the State debt has been
reduced from s5,l6i,00O to s3,462, 200 /;
that the schools are in most flourish
Ing condition; and that prosperity and
economy have distinguished the four
years of Democratic rule. He recon-
mends change in the land laws of the
State, on the ground that they now
facilitate the acquisition of large tracts
Of land by corporations; and advises
that Constitutional Convention be held
to remodel the judicial system and the
system Of taxation. A combination Of
plunderers and grabbers beat Mr.. Haight
and elected Mr.. Booth 1t remains to
be seen whether the people will bo as
honestly served by the latter.

Ii nHs hCen announced in the Hs li-
cal press, with c,u,id, rahle flourish,
that hon. q. IL. Parker, Of Davenport,
Iowa, one of "the prominent Demo-
crats''of that State, has written let
ter in which he pronounces the Demo-
cratic party dead, and the abandon
ment of its organization. The Detroit
Free Press says Hon. G. II. Parker
is not disinterested counselor in re-
gard to the policy which he would have
the Democratic party pursue. He left
that party ten years ago and expected
to see It's death Immediately follow, but
1t did not die. He was Mr.. Lincoln's
Government Detective at Chicago, for
some years during the war, and has not
pretended to act with the Democratic
party since that time any more than he
did then. That he should want the
Democratic party, as such, to give up
its organization isHatural. He undoubt-
edly feels ashamed of his present party
association, and wants new deal, I'M
der the hope that he may, in that way,
fall again into decent political company.

port, Iowa, is not alone in his ankle

NOt SmoOth Sailing.

The idea so jubilantly entertained by
Grant, short time since, that he had
nothing to do but walk over the course
for a second Presidential term unoppos.
ed, is rapidly giving way to plausible
dread and doubt. The Washington
correspondent of the New York Iri5-
,me says;
"There seems to be an undercurrent
of feeling, not yet publicly expressed,
yet admittsd in the private converse.
tion of many of the supporters of the
Administration, and advocates of Gen.
Grants denomination, that they may
not have as clear sailing as they have
anticipated for their candidate through
the National Convention next Spring.
Many of these men coming fresh from
constituencies are forced to admit that
while as yet there has been no very out,
spoken opposition to Gen. Grants re-.
nomination, among the masses, there is
discovered in private conversation, a
wide spread feeling that he is not the
very best man in the country to be Pres.
ident for another term"
That "undercurrent' is finding ex.
preston mole freely and publicly every
day, and the discussion in the Senate on
the frauds and corruption OF the Grant
administration is increasing the already
"wide'spread feeling" referred to.

GENERAL BUTLER has introduced
bill to construe the Fourteenth Amend.
ment to the Constitution as establishing
female auffrage.s This is considerable
stride; it having been hitherto thought
that it was the function of the Judici-
AIRY to construe the Constitution and
the laws, and that declaration of their
meaning by Congress would have no
more weight than like declaration
from any other body Of men having
nothing to do with the matter. Con.
gress may pass Il law, in accordance
with its understanding of the Constitu-
tion, and that law, on any case arising
under it, would be the subject of Judi
cial construction In the Courts. But a
dictum of Congress, that the Constitu-
tion means this or that, ought to have
noweight or authority at all.-Age,

With this number the connection Of
the undersigned with the Columbian
newspaper ceases. A sufficient reason
for this action has already been given.
Others exist but In these the public
would feel no interest. In taking leave
Of the readers Of the paper and of the
people OF Columbia county, 1t is proper
10 give formal expression to the feel.
ings Of gratitude the undersigned en-
tertains towards them for the generous
support they have given him and fol-
their uniform kindness TO him. 1t Is
with nolittle regret that he leaves them
but circumstances beyond his control
inpel him to that action.
As the paper goes back into the
hands of the predecessor of the under
signed, recently directly aud most de-
servedly endorsed by the vote, Of the
Democracy Of the county, there will be
no complaint because of the change or
want of confidence in the.paper itself.
1t is in highly prosperous condition
aud will be edited in future with energy
and decided ability. That It will de.
serve the ardent support of the Democ.
racy of the county there is no room to
doubt, and that it may receive it is due
TO the best interests of the party itself.

signed bids his present readers final
adieu, with unaffected and heartfelt

When the Trumbull resolution was
before the United States Senate few
days since, the administration Senators
cut a sorry figure. In their attempts
to defend Grant and excuse the thou.
sands Of defaulters who surround him,
they made assertions which were so
supremely ridiculous and so notorious.
ly false, that even those who feel dis.
posed to stick to Grant have to laugh
outright. For instance, Mr.. Edmunds,
who Is more than suspected of being
one of the Grant ring Of spectators,
had the effrontery 10 assert that:
"This administration will compare
favorably lin The way of honestly with
any administration that ever preceded
1t from the days OF Washington 10 this
day. There have been embezzlements,
l admit, but there have been embezzle.
ments under all administrations" &c.
No wonder "laughter " in the CALLER.
ies'' followed this burst of unadultera.
ted falsehood. Mr.. Schuiz, (Republi.
can,) answered Edmunds promptly and
triumphantly. Said Mr.. Schurg.
Nay, sir, if you search the history
of this country you cannot point out to
to me four consecutive years during
which so many embezzlements and de.
falcations have come to light as have
been laid bare to the public eye during
tho last three or four months. If am
mistaken, shall be glad TO be correct.
ed. A great many of these frauds, en-
bezzlemcnts and defalcations were not
discovered by diligent inquiry or in
vesligation, but by something like acci.
dent ; we simply stumbled over them,
and there they are. II cannot, will not
be denied, that under this administra.
tion more defalcations have taken place
than haee taken place during all other
administrations, from Washington to
the prsent. We had better confess this
alarming fact at once, and then go to
work to stop the abuse and choke of
the leeches who are clinging to the pub
