the Catholic religion by means of Of
tensive representations of the Pope,
the priesthood, and other accessories
of the faith. The New York Board of
Education have banished from the
public schools all the textbooks issued
by his 1rin, as an evidence of their
disapprobation of the curse pursued

composed oflnen of ali denominations,
the rebuke is doubiv effective. The

SPECIMEN kU-kLUX.-It appears
from the Louisville Journal, that two
of the rebel ku-kluX were lately cap
tured in Chattooga county Ga, each
of whom We're sent to the State Peni-
Tertiary for VI years. The Journal
says, in regard tothem: These rebels
were not rebels in the strict sense OF
the term, but were eX-Federal soldiers
who settled in Georgia after the war,
and we style them rebels simply
through courtesy to the Hon. Benjamin
F. Butler and his political associates
in Congress, who would be much NOR
titled to hearthat two men of their own
feelings, sentiments and habits of life
are in the Georgia penitentiary for COM
uniting ku-klux outrages."

THE PROSsECT BEFORE Us.

Of sixty-three members of the Leg
iSlature of reconstructed South Caro-
lima. fifty are negroes or muiattoes and
thirteen white. Among this number
twenty-five only read and write, eight
grammatically,t and the rest make
their mark with the aid of an amanu-
ensis. OF these, nineteen pay taxes TO
an aggregate amount of Sli6 10, and
the others pay none at all; and this is
the body which has just levied over
four millions of dollars i'll taxes, pay
able during the current year! Such
is the result of reconstruction in South
Carolina. worked out TO its practical
conclusion. with every advantage in
its favor. The:negroe>:have a major
ity of the whole population; they hold
the Legislative power; they ill all the
offices not held by corrupt carpet bag
gers; they form the militia, and they
have as absolute control of the State
as the blacks have in san Domingo or
Hayti. More than this, the Federal
Government has, on the slightest and
most untounded prcteXtS, furnished
them with military aid to carry out
their partisan persecution of the white
people. With all this supremacy, and
with the aid and comfort derived from
ne autnOTs Oh reconstruction, lllS Is
what the moral ideas" of rcconstruc-
ton have produced, after five years of
continuous ascendency. Look at the
hideous spectacle presented to-day by
one of the Old Thirteen 1t is a sight
which not only makes the heart sick
but Is a ~blistering scandal to the very
name of American civilization.
The intelligence, virtue, honor,
worth, substance, and character OF the
State are tralnpled under foot byacon-
spiracy of Northern plunderers and
African heathens. who have stolen its
wealth and good name. and who revel
in disgusting orgies among the hlstor-
zeal scenes ~consecrated by the glories
of the Revolution. And what is true
OF South Carolina applies with equal
force to every Southern State where
like p~ernacious influences have pre-
vailed. They present a continued
series of crime, corruption, robbery,
and eXtortion, without one redeeming
quality to pallIate these shocking afro
Observation-Disclosures Patriot.

Ice BRIDGE IN IosEMITE.-The
Mariposa Gazette of the 3lst ult.,
says:
Dan Folsom returned to Mariposa
on Sunday afternoon last, having
made IA trip with his party to the lo-
semitic Valley by Hite's Cove with
perfect ease, e~ncountering but little
snow. His party were highly delight
ed with the view of the valley in its
Winter coat. They report that the
10Y slides during the Winter have
formed a perfect arch or bridge at the
base of the Nevada Falls and the spray
therefrom has made it into II solid
piece of ice. They walked over the
bridge and had a front view of the
beautiful MERGED as it poured hazily
over the precipice in one vast sheet OF
seven hundred feet - 1t must have
been a grand sight, truly.

nish the city with water that it is
feared we will be inundated. In
view of this fact, and to be prepared
for any emergencies, Supervisor
Forbes, at the meeting last night,
offered a resolution instructing the
City Hall Commissioners to build an
ark, as it is supposed that will be
needed more than a new City Hall.
We presume the plain English of the
proposition is, that those Supervisors
who voted for the subsidy, had better
prepare to go Fishing at the end of
their term.

AMNEsTY.-The Oakland Transcript
thinks the amnesty bill passed by the
Republican Congress a few days since
is intended for use solely in the North
to deceive the masses into believing
that the Republicans have dealt liber-

States to back the carpet baggers and
negroes in their scheme to disfran-
chise the whites by State laws. Such
Is doubtless the fact.

NEEDED.

The great desideratum of Nevada at
the present time is a system Of rail-
roads comprehending the principal
agricultural valleys and mining dis
tricts of the State, together with such
as may be situated in California but
living on this side of the Sierra Nevada
mountains. Already three narrow
gauge railroads are projected-one
from Virginia to Reno, one from Pali-
SADIE via Eureka to Hamilton, and an
other from Elko to Hamilton. We do
not think it probable that both the
latter roads will ever be built, as either
n would answer the purpose for
which the other is intended-save that
Eureka would be compelled to team
short distance to the Eko road. We
think the actual commencement of the
work of construction on the n Will
he the death of the other. Assuming
them to be one road, it can be easily
and cheaply extended south of White
Pine through Nye and into Or through
Lincoln county to the Southern Pacific
Railroad. This will afford great relief
to the many mining districts and to
the large agricultural and grazing re-
Cions along the route. If the Virginia
and Truckee Railroad Company
should extend its line from this city
to the Central Pacific, it is not proba-
BILE that the Reno narrow gauge would
ever be built. That III local road will
shortly connec with the Central seems
highly probable, as ten a loads or
one hundred ton of iron was shipped
from San Francisco a few days since
for the Virginia and Truckee Com
pany, which already had on hand a
considerable quantity of new iron.
When this connection is made, the
country south of US, as far south as
Cerro Gordo, will begin to look to Car
son City for supplies, instead OF team
ing across the Sierra to Los Angeles.
A railroad from this city south, hug
ging the base of the Sierra range, is
also much needed, and wouldprobably
prove a better paying institution han
any local road projected in the State,
with the single exception of that pro
jected by the Virginia and Truckee
Company from this city to the Central

ing the fact that these mines are o
almost inaccessible, capital has found
it's way there, and e~NtenSive mining
operations are already being carried
on. A single firm at Cerro Gordo
ships 800, 900 pounds of bullion per
month, regularly, to Los Angeles, a
distance of 30 miles. With a railroad
at hand to furnish cheap freight both
wavs,. Cerro Gordo district alone would
doubtless ship 1900 tons of freight
monthly, to say nothing of the mines
of Lone Pine, kearsarge and 1nyo
mountains, and those OF Esneraida
county. Let us have a railroad from
Carson City to the Colorado.

During the first three months of the
present year 5,112,5S2 pounds OF freight
were shipped east over the Central Pa
cifc Railroad. OF this. tea comprised
1, 742.256 pounds. Wine was shipped
as follows: 4l4,000 pounds from san
Francisco, $1,000 pounds from Sacra-
mento, 1000 pounds from M~arysville,
l 900 pounds from San Jose. and 100
pounds from Stockton. In tons, the
total weight of freight sent east was a
little over2.SS6 tons. Thetea weighed
a little over ST. tons. 1t will be motto
ed that the shipment of tea by this
route is getting to be a considerable
buS.ness-thus far this year at the rale
of 3.4S4 o per annun. 1t is stated
that tea can be landed i'll New York by

H WHOLE STORY.

The follow ing dispatche was read
on the 5th, by Representative Barry,
of Mississippi, in the course of his
speech:
JACKSON, Miss, April 2.
Hon. 4. Ames, United States Senate,
and Hon. g.. l.. Harris, J. l.. Morphis,
H. w. Barry, G. c. Mckee, and l.. w.
Perez, Members of the House:
GENTLEMEN: Lest the Government
should be led astray by the reckless
statements published in Northern
newspapers, on the information of ir-
responsible parties, and by other mis-
representations, l feel it my duty, as
Governor OF this State, to bring under
your knowledge the following facts.
l have before me the official returns,
furnished by the Auditor of Public
Accounts. of the inquest claims pre-
scented and allowed in Mississippi for
the last two years.
For twelve months of military gov
eminent, ending March. 1870, they
number sixty-two. Fortwelve months
Of civil government, ending March is,
1871, they number precisely the same
IS the whole year, then includ-
ing the transition in the popular
mind from force to law. The civil
power has been fully as successful as
the bayonet in protecting life. In the
last six months of each of the two
years under comparison. the number
of murders thus shown was as fol-
lows: Under military government,
f~orty-one, whereas the number under
civil government was out nineteen.
While we thus see the military rule 90
on in an increase of crime which points
to the presumption that it would lead
to anarchy, we see the civil rule go on
in a decrease of crime which points to
the presumption that it will lead TO
absolute repose. l speak for only my
own State. j. l.. ALCORN,
Governor of Mississippi.
Comment is unnecesSary-only we
should like to remark hat this is what
the Enterprise would term calling on
the General Government to put down
the Ku-klux.' Alcorn is a Republi-
can.
