FORREST BEFORE THE KuKLux COMMITTEES.

When the hero of Fort Pillow was before
the Kuklux Committee the other day, lie
was asked about the conversation held
with correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
n,erciat in August, 1868. We find the fol-
towing report of his. testimony in the
Washington Correspondence Of the New
York Tribune:
When asked concerning these reports, to-day,
he made general denial of the report, and al
legged that he did not say more than 70 words to
the correspondent. "A member of the Com
mittee then questioned him in regard to the sew
eral important points of the conversation, and
he admitted the substantial truth Of them all.
When asked then about the 20 words CONVEX
sation, he said he ''reckoned' that he should
have said 20 minutes. During the whole of his
examination he stoutly denied that he was a
Kuklux. One of the Committee at length asked
him if he was Knight of the White Camelia. He
promptly replied YES but msdsstey cor
he was asked what order be did belong to, he
replied "the Order of Pale Faces" He denied
that he knew of any Kukiux in the South now,
and said that he had disbanded them in the
Spring of 1868 His letter written in September
1868, was then read to him again, and he ''reck-
portant admission, as it proved that even though
he told the truth as it is charitable to suppose
he did, it proved by one Of their own number
that the Kuklux was at work during the Presi-
dental campaign
Gen. Forests examination throughout, and
especially when cross-questioned, was full of
contradictions, and, taken altogether was some
what damaging to him. AT one stage of the ex-
animation he remarked that be supposed that
he was not obliged to answer certain question
if it eliminated himself Senator Scott read to
him the law requiring testimony to be given
even under those circumstances, when, after
some hesitation, he said he thought he would
member His memory also failed him when
asked the names of any other members of the
Kuklux. He could recall the, names of only a
few, who have since died, and whom it would,
therefore, do the Committee no good to know.
I From this it appears that Forrest has not
made much character for veracity, before
this Committee, his department being
somewhat damaging to such character.

TENNESSEE POLITICS.

There is popularity about Tennessee
politics, which, in our opinion, does not
manifest itself so forcibly and so striking
ly in any other State. The contests in
former days between Whiggery and Dem
ocracy were vigorous, and we'll calculated
to develop points of difference sharply,
and in way to form we'll developed di-
viding lines between members of the two
existing parties. There are few men who
witnessed the contests between Neil S.
Brown and Aaron V. Brown or between
the former and Mr.. Trousdale, or between
Andrew Johnson and the Eagle Orator,
Gustavus A. Henry, or who heard Polk
upon one hand or James G. Jones upon
the other, that will ever forget them.
Those were times when men took q pro
found interest in State politics. The diff
ference was so distinct-so striking that a
man could almost distinguish Wing from
a Democrat by his personal appearance.
There was not much utilization, politically
speaking, between the parties then, and
the man who would betray his party al
most forfeited the respect of the opposite
party also. It was more a matter of honor
then, we think, than now. These well
developed differences continued very sus-
ceptible, until the commencement of the
war. In the first onset the old Line
Wings, almost to man, were for standing
by the flag. They said, "don't give up
the ship.n But the waves of seces 10
rolled madly on, and the first shock OF
war caus Ids UGH an upheaval, that areckon-
ing was necessary to see where the ''old
Ship stood, and where men stood. 1t
was found that the shock had thrown
these two different and distinct elements
together, and, by what appeared to many
to be the force of circumstances, the old
Wings were supporting secession schemes
with as much apparent zeal as the origi-
nal, uncompromising Democrats. 'a
When the war was over, and the rebel
lion had been suppressed, these Wings
were the first to accept the situation, and
while the old hard-shelI Democracy were
sullen, morose, swearing they never would
accept the situation, the Old Line Wings
were always ready to accept that which
seemed 10r the DeSG. 90 III seems, CnOuRn
they were thrown together and acted to-
gether during the war, the points of differ
ence are yet perceptible. And, where the
Democracy have come into power, as they
have done in most of the Southern States,
the old Wings have been kept in the back
ground. It is true that John G. Brown
was their choice for Governor, but he
would not have been, if they had not been
thoroughly convinced that he had the in
side track, and they could not help them
selves. Whenever policy dictates that
they should hold fellowship with the
Wings, they do, but not otherwise. Dor
sey B. Thomas would do very well as a
candidate for Congress, or could be elected
to the State Senate, when it was very APP
parent that straight Democrat could not
be elected, aud when there was no chance
for any but Republican; but when they
had things all their own way, he could
stay at home, or serve as a member Of a
State Executive Committee, as a sort of
blind, while positions Of profit are reserved

THE New Departure" goes down rath-
er roughly with large portion of the DEM
ocratic party. The signs are not very ia
vorable in Pennsylvania and other North
ern States. The old fashioned, pure, una
dulterated Democracy don't like to give
up the principles for which they have
fought SO long, and adopt for a platform,
principles. assimilating as near as possible,
those of the Republican party. Speaking
of accepting negro suffrage, a Democratic
paper in Pennsylvania remarks q
We assert. and defy contradiction, that there
are not one hundred Democrats in the three hum
dred thousand within the borders of the Com
monwealth in favor of comforting the elective
franchise upon the negro.

FASHIONABLE DREssMAKING.

Fashion kills more than toll or sorrow
Obedience to fashion is b greater trans
erosion of the laws of woman's nature,
greater injury to her physical and mental
constitution, than the hardships OF power
ty and neglect. The slave woman at her
task still lives and grows old, and sees two
or three generations Of her mistresses pass
away. The washerwoman, with scarcely
ray of hope to cheer her in her tolls will
live to see her fashionable sisters all ex-
tinct.ss The kitchen maid is hearty and
strong, when her lady has to be Ike a
sick baby. 1t is sad truth that fashion
pampered women are always worthless for
all good ends of life; they have but little
force of character, they have still less
power of moral will, and quite as little
physical energy. They live fos no great
ends. They are dolls. formed in the
hands of milliners and servants, to be fed
to order. If they rear children, servants
and nurses do all, save to conceive and
give them birth, And when reared what
are theyP What do they amount to but
weak scions of the old stock ? Who ever
heard of a fashionable woman's child ex-
hibiting any virtue and power of mind for
which it became eminent? Read the biog-
raphies of our great and good men and
women. Not one of them had fashion

PIN LEAE.HATi TRADE.


Quite radical change, it is said, has
taken place in the palm leaf hat trade
Dealers now goste the market, or send
their orders as often as their necessities
require. not allowing large accumulation
OF goods, and thus~enabie them to take
every advantage of fluctuations in prices
and changes in style, which improvements
in railroad facilities guarantee. 1t is now
a steady business Of the year, and its pro-
portions are gradually expanding. The
Boston Commercial Bulletin says it takes
between 300, 900 and 400, 900 dozen hats to
supply the yearly wants of the trade, but
foreign hats from Leghorn and Malaga
are now being largely imported and sold
as cheap as those made in this country, not
understanding palm leaf comes free OF duty.
The insurrection in Cuba has almost en-
tirely stopped shipments of the leaf to this
country, and consequently the supply now
here Is very short, and manufacturers are
fast CONSUMING what stock they have on

A standing antidote for poison by dew,
poison CAL, Ivy, ETC., is to take a handful
of quick lime, dissolve in water, let it
stand half an hour, then paint the poisoned
parts with it. Three or four applications
will never fail TO cure the most aggravated
cases. Poison from bees, hornets, spider
bites, etc., is instantly arrested by the APP
plication of equal parts of common salt
and bicarbonate of soda, well rubbed in
on the place bitten or stung.
