LET LIGHT EEi

Congress had scarcely reasSembled when
Mr.. CaSserly of California moved an inquiry
into the Presidents use of troops in the South
ern States at or near the time of elections. 1t
was proper inquiry, and, being properly
shaped, was passed and responded to. The
Senate wisely resolved not to stop after hear
ing what the President had to say for him
self, but subject the whole business to a
searching scrutiny. This is right. The cOun-
try wants to hear both sides-nOt merely what
Gen. Grant and his subordinates have to say
in the premises, but the Ku-Klux Off Ku-Klux
there be) have to offer. 1t should be told, not
merely what excuse there was for sending
soldiers to this or that district, but what (if
anything) provoked those who gave the justi-
flying provocatiOn. In short since the matter
is somewhat intricate, Congress proposes to
see both sides of it.
OF course some will say, "The Opposition is
"powerless." But it is not pOwcrleSs. 1t can
question every witness, and procure the at
tendance of others. Were the majority to
refuse it subpenas for witnesses, that majority
would harm itself and strengthen its adver-
saries. Let us have the fullest and fairest
possible investigation, and let the judgment
rendered thereon be lucid and conclusive. We
cherish no apprehension, and shall rejoice in
the establishment of the truth, favor whomso-
ever Ii NAV,

Count Bismarck has announced at Versailles
that Gen. Bourbaki has been caught between
the armies of Won Werder and Manteuffel, and
must surrender. A dispatch from Bordeaux,
which admits that the Germans have cut the
railway to Lyons south of Besancon and
of Bourbali's supposed position, can only be
construed to confirm this statement Of the
Prussian Premier.
AT the same time, and in the same inter
view, Count Bismarck declared that Paris must
submit in few days. 1t is also stated as con-
firmatory of this view of the situation that ne
gotiations for capltulaton had already been
opened. The dispatch which announces this
proceeds from q correspondent who has
persstenty denied the German claims of sue
