ness of those whom the gods would de-
stroy; and the knell of slavery was rung
on the day when it passed.
But, though / have characterized this
law, in moral point of view, let not DEM
ocrats presume to say that it was,uncOnsti-
tutional-that human liberty, and all that
is dearest to humanity cannot be thus
summarily and arbitrarily disposed of.
My Kuklux friend, this amiable statute is
to the Kuklux Law, which the civiliza-
ton of the age has brought to bear on your
propensities, as Mt. Vesuvius is to a cup
of warm tea. But the fugitive slave law
was constitutional. The great lights of
your party have sworn it; the Supreme
Court of the United States, in it's pure
Democratic days, has declared it, and you,
at least, cannot go back upon it. The SUI
preme Court of the United States, in the
case of Alderman VS.. Booth, unanimously
declares, through the lips of that unim-
peachable Democrat, Judge fancy: The
act of Congress, comonly called the fugi-
tive slave law, is, in all Of its provisions,
fully authorized by the Constitution of
the United States.A The KukluX law,
and the civil rights bill may be unpleasant
doses for you to swallow, but after swal-
lowing the fugitive slave law whole, it is
not worth while to be making faces now.

KukIux Testimony.

WASHINGTON, July Capt. John Nye,
brother of Senator Nye, is dead.
WASHINGTON, July Joseph III. Speed
testified before the Kuklux Committee to
day In Alabama quiet peryailed until
last winter, when disguised bands COM
menced various outrages and continued
until recently These outrages terrorized
negroes and made them afraid to vote. The
opposition to negro education came from
lower classes. Former owners strongly
favor general and mpartial education. ;,
4 Speed claims to be an ex Confederate, Of
ficer and is now regent of the State Uni
versity and superintendent of education in
Perry county, Alabama.
WASHINGTON, July ALBERT Richard
son. colored of Clarke county, Georgia,
formerly member of the Legislature, tes-
titled that, in January last, band of dis
guised men, whom Richardson believed to
be KukluX, came to his house and fired at
and wounded him. He returned the fire,
mortally wounding one of the assailants !;
whereupon they retired, carrying off their
dead. He knows no cause tor the attack.
Whipping and similar outrages still con-
tinue in that section, creating such terror
that the negroes living in isolated places
have abandoned them and have fled to
the towns, where they have nothing to do
and are suffering. ~
