such instances of wrong as these Roman
Catholic writers are in the habit of raising
a great cry, in order TO cover up and divert
attention from the awful enormities in
persecution of the Papal Church. A re-
spectacle writer states that exclusive of the
lives of multitudes of Jews, Moors and
others sacrificed bv Popcry, 'it has been
computed that millions of Protestants have
at different times been the victims of the
prosecutions of the Papists, and put to
death for their religious opinions =" The
Other Side" seems to he fond or quoting
Bancroft. | commend TO him the follow
ing from that writer: "In Spain more per-
sons have been burned for their opinions,
than Massachusetts then contained inhab-
itants. Under Charles W, in the Neither
lands alone, the number of those who were
hanged beheaded, buried alive, or burned,
for religious opinion, was fifty thousand,
says Father Paul; the whole carnage
amounted, says Grotius, to not less than
one hundred thousand. America. was gull
tY of the death of four individuals and
they fell victims rather to the contest of
will, than to the opinion that. QuaIerism
was capital crime.' Sec Bancroft, vol. l,
ch. X, p. 455. .... ... ..'
AS to Lord Baltimore, he deserves great
| praise, but note that the charter by which
he held Maryland provided for freedom of
religion, and was issued by the Protestant
King of Protestant nation. See Ban
crofts History, vol. L ch. vii, page 243.
"The Other Side'' complains of the eva
sion of his questions concerning mixed
schools, &c. "Rusticus" plainly signified
that he does not think the fact of the sepa-
rate education of colored children consti-
tutes a sufficientreason for granting the de-
mand of the Priest and Others for a part of
the school money, to be used at their dis
cretion in the work of education.
There are several of his statements, ad-
ditional, which might be noticed But
why prolong the work of refutation? Lest
it tshould grow dull by very repetition and

Kuklux In North Carolina.

The kuklux, like the COW distemper is
extending towards the mountains. Last
Saturday night they visited the residence
of Mrs. Murphy, widow of w. A. b. Muir
ply, deceased, lately leading Republican
of Mcdowell county, and abused little
daughter of Mrs. Murphy's and knocked
her down with gun. They also whip
ped young man named Painter, who was
living at Mrs Murphy's. We also learned
that Johnston Elliott was whipped on the
same night
On Sunday night they again visited the
same places, and left notices for Mrs. Muir
ply and for Mr.. Elliot, threatening ven-
geance if they told anything about being
whipped.
On last Wednesday Mrs. Murphy came
TO Marion and made affidavit of the facts,
when Judge Henry promptly issued a
bench warrant for the arrest of the parties,
who are well known, and identified by diff
ferent Witnesses Rutherford Star.

SUPERIOR CoURT-CRIMINAL TERM-PITMAN j.
Thursday, May Pin the case of Joseph W. Rob-
erts charged with the larceny of corn from freight
car of the Boston and Albany railroad, Mr.. Very
for the defendant moved that it be taken from the
jury on the ground that some of the government
witnesses had conducted themselves improperly in
the presence of the jury when the court was not in
session. His motion was allowed and the case con-
tinued to the August term.
The Vermont and Massachusetts, railroad COM
pany were arraigned Indictment un-
der section 81, chapter SO, of the general
statutes which provides that, il by reason
of the negligence carelessness of a corpor-
ation or its servants or agents. the life of any pas
seuger is lost corporation shall be punished by
fine not exceeding 5000 nor less than $500, to be
paid to the widow and children of the deceased, or
to the next of kin, if he leave no family The in
dictment in this case charged the corporation
with the killing of George A. johnson, at the
time of the accident in Athol, June 16, 1870. No
testimony was submitted to the jury, but the main
facts, on which there was no dispute, stated.
johnson, it will be recoected, was popcorn ped
der on the train and the accident happened in con-
sequence of misleading of the time by the track
master, who left hand-car upon the track on the
bridge, contact with which threw the train from
the track down the embankment into the river.
Mr. Snow OF fltchburg, counsel for the corporation
submitted copy of a contract, in which the de-
ceased agreed to pay the corporation a certain
sum for the privilege of riding and selling his corn
on the trains, and at the same time agreed 10
furnish passengers ice-water free of charge. Mr..
Snow asked the court to rule that by virtue of this
contract, the deceased an employc and not n
passenger, and that consequently no damages could
be recovered under the statute The court, for the
purposes of the trial ruled that the deceased was
passenger. The only question submitted to the
Jury was whether the corporation was guilty by
reason of the incompetency or gross negligence or
carelessness of its agent, the trackmaster. YER
dict OF guilty was returned. The case goes up to
the supreme court on exceptions taken TO the
ruling.
Michael o'Drlseoll, appellant, was put trial
for assault aud battery on VIM Mecorney, at the
cit, hall, May 2, during the voting on the beer
question. Itappeared by Mr.. Mecorney's testimony
that he was approached in a violent manner by de-

was under the influence OF liquor at the time. The
district attorney stated that he willing all prop

Mr.. Sumner and Mr.. Thurman-"Not from
debate"
Mr.. Sherman then resumed, and said after it
was discovered that no senator or employe of
the senate was implicated in the publication,
the investigation should then have stopped, and
the jurisdiction of the senate ceased The SEN
ate had no right to indict, accuse or arraign
any citizen, and when those witnesses declared
that they had not obtained the treaty from any
senator, proceedings should have been stopped.
II he had been present when the vote was taken,
he never wouldhave consented to keep them in
custody for an hour. The senate had placed
itself in false position. 1t had not the right to
go beyond inquiring into the conduct of its own
members and officers. 1t had no power to keep
these men imprisoned one day after the end of
this session. Any justice of the peace would
ride rough shod over such a sham pretence.
MIR. Edmunds asked Mr.. Sherman if the house
of representatives had not imprisoned Pat
Woods for three months after it had adjourned,
and if II was not legal.
Mr., Sherman replied that the imprisonment
of Pat Woods was clearly illegal, and his con-
Stitutiona rights were grossly assailed. There
was no precedent for his Imprisonment in this
country.
Mr. Sumner-"There is no parliamentary
precedent anywhere"
Mr. Sherman said in reference to the nvesti-
cation that no one senator was more responsible
than another.
Mr. Sumner said that what he had said in
executive session was that inquiry should be
instituted or the rule given up, laying his en-
phasis very positively on giving up the rule
Mr.. Wilson made brief reply to Mr.. Conk-
ling, saying he thought the senator meant TO
do right, but he had strong will, firm purpose
and full power of expression, and sometimes
might offend, but he, Wilson, wished to say, in
regard to this matter, that he held himself just
as responsible for the Inauguration of this in
vestigation az the senator who drew and the
senator who Otfprp the resolution but when
the investigation had gone so far as to relieve
senators from suspicion, he wanted it stopped,
Mr. Stewart said this appeared to be the hour
for confession. He did not believe any senator
guilty Of wrong in voting for the investigation,
or any of its logical consequences.
Mr. Frelinghuyen said he had acted with the
senate committee from the beginning to the
end, and was DESTROYS of taking his share of the
responsibility.
Without further proceeding on the subject,
the senate adjourned until tomorrow at eleven
O'clock
