1t would appear from the Washing on cor.
respondsnce of the Brooklyn Eagle that to
Hon. John T. Harris is due the credit of the
section in the House Ku-Klux bill repeating
the exaction of the test-oath from Jurors in
the federal courts. Says the writer:
"In the Democratic caucus Mr. Harris, of
Virginia, gave notice that he desired to offer
an amendment to the Ku-Klux bill-an
amendment providing for the repeal of an
act passed in 1868, under which no man was
qualified to act as juror in the Courts Of the
United States who has rendered any aid or
given any succor or assistance to those en-
gagged in the rebellion. Under this bill the
Southern people en- naasse were disqualified
the Union man who had given cup of wa
ter to Confederate soldier, or who had pro-
vided his son, drafted it might be into the
rebel ranks, with suit Of clothes or pock-
et-handkerchief even could not serve. Mr..
Harris after seeking in vain for recognition
on the floor by the Speaker-for which right
he had at least a dozen competitors, handed
his amendment to Beck, of Kentucky and
Beck in turn passed it over to Republican
member-State Of Maine, I think-by whom
it was offered. The House accepted the
amendment by general assent. A voice was
heard demanding that the ayes and nays be
called. "All in favor of demanding the
ayes and nays will risc," Numbered the
Speaker rapping at the same time for order.
Not single member rose, but newspaper
was held up in token Of assent, and the hand
that held it was that of the malignant May
nard He was rewarded by jeers and laugh
ter from both sides of the House,

The French Civil War,

The feature Of the news concerning the
civil war in France is expressed in the i'm
patient attitude of Germany. An impe-
rial council at Berlin has agreed to allow
the Versailles government further limi-
ted period for the restoration of it's author
ity and the fulflment Of the treaty stipu-
latlons, at the expiration Of which time,
if the revolution continue, Germany will
take independent action toward establish
ing law and order in Paris It is to be
remembered that the Germans still possess
the northern cuvirons of Par.s, and can &C
complish their purpose without extraordi-
nary delay. In this event it is believed
that the regency Of the Empress Eugene
will be restored.
1t is said, indeed, that in case of the
success of the Versailists coup de main
to the same end will be made by Theirs
and McAlahon. It is asserted, however,
that Napoleon himself has determined to
have nothing more to do with the business.
The Versailists claim fresh successes, but
the communists declare that they have re-
trieved important positions around Fort
D'Issey, and that resistance is as firm and
fierce as ever.

DEATH OF HON. JAMES III. MASON.

The baltimore Sun says :-"Hon. James
M. Mason, whose death had for some days
been expected, died on Friday evening
last at Clarens, three miles west of Alex
andria, Va, where he had been living for
a year or two past, and whittier he had re-
moved from Winchester. Mr.. Mason's DO
sition among the distinguished men of the
times is an eminently historical one, full
of events and honors, and enriched with a
brilliant family prestige. For several
years he was member Of the Virginia Leg
islature, and in 1887 was elected to the
United States House of Representatives.
Subsequently he was q leading member of
the United States Senate, and for several
years was chairman of the foreign rela-
tons committee. At the breaking out of
the late war he left that body, along with
the other Southern Senators, and in No
vember, 1861, he EN- barked with Mr. Slidell
at Havana, on board the British royal mail
steamer Trent, for Southampton, accred-
tied respectively as ENJOYS from the Confed-
crate States of the South to the courts of
Great Britain and France. A few hours
| afterwards the Trent was oyerhauled by
the United States steamer San Jacinto.
Commodore Wilkes, and the surrender Of
Messrs. Mason 4 Slidell demanded by him.
They we're surrendered, and imprisoned
| for some weeks at Fort Warren, in Boston
harbor, whence they were liberated on the
peremptory demand of the British govern
ment, and sailed for England in January,
1862. Wilkes, who was greatly lauded at
first for the act, both by Congress and the
| Cabinet, was soon afterward summoned be-
fore court-martial composed of naval Of
fcers, and by them adjudged guilty of
gross offcnses and sentenced to suspension
| for three years. MIR. Mason remained
abroad for some years after the termina-
ton Of hostilities, and on his return to
| Virginia took up his residence, as already
stated, near Alexandria. For some time
past his health had been failing, and with
IN the last month lie had lost his eyesight.
lie died of general debility, his nervous
system being generally dcranged He had
been unconscious for a day or two, and died
very peacefully. Mr. Mason leaves an es-
| tate of about $60,00O."

What an illustration says the New York
Hor1d is the conduct OF the President of the
false pretences with which he urged the Ku-
Klux enactment! Three weeks ago he pre-
tended the country was in danger. The re-
bellion was upon US. Not only did he indie
Gently and in hot haste rush to the Capitol
to earwig and button-hoc congressman, but
be read the Riot act-he issued proclama-
ton requiring the revolters to lay down their
arms and in twenty days to aispcrsc. The
time is passed; the law is enacted, the pre-
rogative is conferred and the President, in
the agony of initiate rebellion, packs his
trunk, lays in good stock of cigars and
brandy, and goes off to visit his farm in Nil
souri,, stopping on the way to be sercnaded
at the indianapolis Academy Of Music =
All this while Ku-Kluxism, according to
Scott, reigns unchecked; Holden dares 20.
60 back and Pool feels his poor speeches to
have been in vain Nay, further, the new
bill being prospective, one Of the provisos
requires a new proclamation before it goes
into effect, and this gives the "rebels" TWEEN

recover from the fatigue Of his occidental

A Few Facts for the People.

In view Of the near approach of the cleo

the taxpayers, who have been ground
down by unnecessary heavy taxation,
should frame a ticket, looking to the gen
eral welfare and relief from oppressive
taxes, levied by Council who have com
paratively no taxes to pay. Our only aim
in stating few facts, which claim your
special attention and consideration, is to
induce every taxpayer calmly and honest
ly to examine the public acts of this Coun-
ell, IA right no one wM deny,) and say
whether these acts attest their fitness for
an economical administration of the affairs
of the town:
l. This Council levied the excessive and
wondrous tax Of $4,000 when one-half
the amount, with economy, would defray
all the necessary expenses of the town.
2. This Council advertised to borrow
$4,000, based upon the issue of Corpora
ton bonds at 8 per cent. interest in addi-
to the tax Of $27 900, and pledged the prop
erty OF the town to pay the interest and
principal.
3. This Council assumed the authority
to provide new charter for the city Of
Staunton, wholly ignoring the judgment,
wishes and approval Of the people upon a
charter, that is vital and fundamental
law.
T. This Council, who were elected for
only one year, prayed the General Assem-
bly, to continue them in office for one wear
longer. The General Assembly, through
grace and tender mercy to the Taxpayer.
would not deiiver them from an election
on the 46h Thursday in May.
.. This Council, when the creditors were
urging the payment of over due bonds,
their claims are unpaid. The credit of the
town deprecated the revenue of the peo-
pie poured out like water, and wasted
in the purchase Of an old second had Steam
Fire-Engine, at cost of about $500, and
after the third trial, all must agree, that it
is very injudicious purchase for the city
of Staunton.
How appropriations, to the amount Of
$4,000 has been expended in the last
nine months, is for this Council to show,
or the people must be content to remain
in ignorance. Let these few considerations
be added together in their various bearings
upon the welfare of she town, then let the
Taxpayers say whether they will adopt
system of economy, and put a stop to this
extraordinary waste, or whether this
Council, so intimately connected with this
terrific tax of s27, 900, who seem to have
but one object, namely, to spend the peo-
Plies money, shall stand or fall together.

GREAT CHANGE IN MoRMoN1sM.-Brig-
ham Young delivers every year a sermon
before the Mormons, in which he gives a
report Of the condition of the Territory,
religion, improvements, &c. In past years
he has drawn most aattering picture of
the kingdom Of Latter Day Saints. The
sermon was delivered ten days ago in the
Temple at Salt Lake, before $4,000 people.
among whom were Mormons and Gentiles
from all sections of the Territory. Brig
hams usual beligerant style was abandon
ed for peaceful counsels. He advised that
emigration should be welcomed and new
corners treated fairly. He said that all
who came to Utah to make money, and did
make it, should use it to wise ends, such
as general education, public morals and
common prosperity. This moderation of
tone pcryaded the entire discourse, and
made deep impression upon all who list
ened to it. The sharp boundaries between
"Mormons" and "Genties' will dissolve.
as there is a very large increase of the
Gentle population in Utah, aud the pro-
cess that has been begun cannot be checked.
