WASHINGTON, March 26.-The
President will transmit the report of
the San Domingo Commission to Con-
gress at an early day. He does not
intend to recommend any action dur
ing the present session Of Congress,
but desires the report to be read by
the people, in order that they may
form Judgment on the question from
official data.
The Joint High Commission will
conclude their labors in few weeks,
and assurances come from three dis
tinguished and Well-infOrmed parties
that there will be an equitable settle
ment of the matters in dispute. IL
this shall result, the President will
send the treaty to the Senate, should
that body be in session. The subject
OF the fisheries will be considered first,
and other important questions will
also be discussed, each side presenting
vOluminous documents and affording
every facility to the other for prOcur-
ing additional information. The
British Commissioners are in constant
communication with the hCme Gov
The House select committee will
have another meeting tomorrow to
discuss the Ku-KluX bill.

THE KU-KLUX KLAN.
A TFus History Of the Organization
0rigla, Objects, Signs, Grips and
Passwords.
ls This Trus2 Who Can Tsll2-A Very
SirsSgs Story.

From the COurier-JournaLl
The body of men which first
| assumed the name of the Ku KluX
Klan was q very different organization
from the thieves and robbers who now
prOWl about for purposes of booty.
The latter have borrowed the livery Of
the former to serve the devil in, and
hence that originally genteel organize
ton is made the scapegOat of every
outrage in the country. The original
organization is gone out Of existence
entirely, and a reliable gentleman,
now in this city, who was member
Of the Klan, is responsible for the fol-
lowing statement of facts: The Ku-
KluX Klan was peculiarly of Southern
origin, and was intended to cOunteract
the % Grand Army Of the Republic" F"
and the " Loyal League" " and for the
better protection OF the families of
Southern men from the depredatiOns
of the robbers turned loose on society
after the war. Their object was to
protect, not to Gepredate; to build up,
not to destroy. As evidence of their
mOtives-peace and good order-the
oath which each member took upon
himself was a pledge to support the
Constitution as given us by our fore
fathers, and to protect the weak
against the strong"
This shows that it was only the dis
turber5 Of the public peace, the land
pirates who follow close upon the
heels of such disOrganizatiOn of society
as ensues after a long war, who had
any cause to fear the terrible bug bear
of KukluXism.
It's name was suggested by the noise
which the old army mUsket makes
when spriuging the lock and discharg-
ing the piece. Ku-KluX-Klang-the
first two syllables made by the lock,
the last was the bang, or klang, of the
discharge, the final ''g'' being after
ward dropped for the sake of
euphOny.
Their signs and grips were few and
simple. A member was recognized
by returning, twice, gentle pressure
of the hand, or when hand-shaking
was not practicable, passing the
fingers OF the right hand gently
through the hair, in response to a like
motion from the inquirer.
The klan was organized, as before
stated, in a sentiment Of peace and
good will to all, and malice toward
none. 1t was established by the very
best men in the country, the leaders
of the Confederate armies, and eX-
tended from the Potomac to the Rio
Grande. 1t was composed of men
who loved peace for its own sake; it
was perfect Knight Errantry of the
Southern States; as harmless, and in-
tended to be far more useful and sub.
servient of good morals than the
Loyal League and Grand Army-bUt
the hue and cry raised against, and
especially the fact that every villain
assumed its virtues for the purpose Of
perpetrating his Outrages, finally in
duced a disbandment Of the organiza-

The Hand that Saved Us.

Two painters were employed to
frescO the walls Of q cathedral Both
stood on the rude scafiOld constructed
for the purpose, some forty feet from
the floor. One Of them was so intent
upon his work that he became
wholly absorbed, and in admiration
stood of from the picture, gazing at
il with intense delight. Forgetting
where he was, he moved back
slowly, surveying leisurely the work
Of his pencil, until he bad neared
the edge of the plank upon which
he stood. At this critical moment
his companion turned suddenly, and,
almost paralyzed with horror, beheld
his imminent peril; another in
slant, and the enthusiast would
be precipitated upon the pave
ment beneath. II he spoke to him,
II YVES certain death; If he held his
peace, death was equally sure. Sud
denly he regained his presence Of
mind, and seizing a wet brush, flung
itagainst the wall, spattering the pic
ture with unsightly blotches Of color
ing. The painter flew forward, and
turned upon his friend with fierce up-
braidings; but starting at his CHASTITY
face, he listened to his recital of dan
ger, looked shudderingly over the
dread space below, and with tears Of
gratitude blessed the hand that saved
him. Just so we sometimes get alb
sorbed upon the picture Of the world /;
and in contemplating them, step back
ward, unconscious Of our peril; when
the Almighty in mercy dashes our
beautiful images, and draws us at the
time we are complaining Of His deal
ings, into His Outstretched arms of
compassion and love.

Danger Absad.-A single spark may kin

weakness OF the bodily powers. Sometimes
it happens that the appetite demands more
food than thestOmach can digest; though not
more, perhaps, than is required TO keep mp

under such circumstances, is TO increase the

so as to make It equal to the duty imposed

Ben. Wade as a Bugglst.

From the San Domingo Correspondence
of the N. Y. Sun.l
The rage Of Wade is fearful to be-
hold. He has turned himself into a
volcano Of profanity. He asserts that
Grant has sent him down here with a
pack of damned fools, who, now that
their work is done, want to sport
around the West India islands, and
scoop up all the snakes and lizards.
He swears and sWeats, and sWeats
and sWears, in the hot sun until one
could almost imagine that his great
soul was just ready to jump out Of his
body, The fact is Ben. wants to go
home. His work is done, and he don't
want to loaf around any longer. He
objects to being the figure-head of a
gang of crazy buggists, who are inces-
sanity talking about scarabeei, umbel-
liierOus and leguminOUs orders, arach-
nid@, copOphagi, anthropomorphae,
the phytelephasma-crOcarpa, Iacertini,
thorietes, and other damned non
sense" as Ben. calls it. The other day
one Of the buggists came on board
with fat spider strung to a stick.
What, in the name Of heaven, is
tA@esNs eoAASA DGAs al lAlC hiGhAuk bDl-
der was passing him.
" That, Mr.. Wade" said the happy
buggist, holding up the spider, is a
beautiful specimen of the tarantulated
lycosa tsrantulB. It's the finest speci-
men l ever saw"
The old war horse gazed at it a mo-
ment, and then groWled out, "The
hell 1t is. Take il away"
Soon atterward another buggist
came on board with a three-tsiled
fish, and told Ben that it was the
most complete specimen of the homo
cerssl and heterocersal platesse
heuses that he had ever found. A
more disgusted man than Mr.. Wade
was, when he received this informs-
tion, has rarely been seen. 1 am told
that Ben. has said that he expects next
to meet a buggist with a six.tOed
negro, or CariD with a double row
Of ears all around his head, strung to
a pole.

GRANT AND BAEZ.
Stabbed In the House Of His FrIsHds-HOW
Like BasZ Is to GraBt.

From the New York Evening Post.l
We are surprised and alarmed to
find that usually uncOmprOmislng Re-
publican journal, the New York ri
bllHe, undermining the Republican
party by covert attacks upon the Ad-
ministratiOn. After all its professions
of fidelity, after all its denUnciatiOns
of others for attacking the Admins
tratiOn," surely we had right to eX-
pect better things Of the Tribune than
the following sly but injurious hit,
which appears in its San Domingo
correspondence:
WHY BAEZ DESIRES ANNEXATION.
But if the United States Govern
ment determines to buy this republic,
you must not be surprised to find
Baez himself pOcketing most of the
purchase money. All the Dominican
officials are said to be heavy creditors
to the State. None of them are paid
at present-fOr the very good reason
that there is nothing to pay them
with. The soldiers beg in the streets,
even before the headquarters of the
army; but you may be sure there are
heavy arrears in back pay, charged on
6NGEY lldu > dItOuuls llOLAl Lllt AlLlNdLC
up to the president. If we vote ST.
500, 600 for the purchase Of SantO Do
mingO, and let BaeZ disbUrse it, the
first debts to be paid will be the ac-
salaries OF the OficehOlders. |
That will bea flLe thing for the PTesi- |
dents family, for they are all in Office. |
The Deputy Collector and one other |
officer at the capital are the Presi- |
dents sons. The governor Of the city |
is his brother. A second brother is a |
general. A half brother is Governor |
Of AZua. A brOther-in-laW is Secre- !
tary of State. SOyOu see il is perfectly |
natural that President Baez should |
want to have the handling of the |
sin order to defeat fraudulent |
,laims."
We confess that this is an effective
piece of ridicule. It is impossible to
-ead it without laughter. The pic
-ure Of a President putting all his
in fat offices, and insisting
IpOn supporting them out of the pub
ic treasury, and paying them their
hares Of any plumber he may obtain,
5 so funny that not even the tone of
mock indignation in which the des-
riptiOn is written can bring the
eader to seriousness.
But why pretend that this is support
# the Administration? Is that only
mother part Of the Joke?
