Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana,
our distinguished Col. G.'s candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
President, is travelling the country
Ger, but opens not his mouth, though
his verdant enthusiastic admirers
petition him approximately to talk
to them. While on the Pacific coast,
his California friends requested him
to make speech, but he wisely and
firmly declined. He is in training
for the nomination and mum is the
word, and in this he is mighty right
for how many times q single sentence
or brief remark has completely
foored prominent candidate OF

The most beautiful perfumes are
produced from substances not merely
trivial, but in some cases fetid and
repulsive. Fusil oil, pntrid cheese,
gas tar, and the drainage of cow
houses are thus chemically trans
formed. Blue dyes are made from
scraps of tin, old woolcn rags, and
the parings of horses hoofs. Old
iron hoops are employed in ink
making; bones as source of phos-
phorus, for tipping Congreve match
es; the dregs of port wine for
making seidlitz powders; the wash
ing Of coal tar for producing a
flavoring condiment for blancmange.
Relics Of old wooden garments are
made to yield flock for wallpaper,
padding for mattresses, and Prussian
blue for the color-makers. Chemic
ais are employed to destroy cotton
fabrice in old worn out balzarines
orleans, coburgs, and other mixee
fabrics for ladies' dresses, and Il

Presidents Proclamation.
WASHINGTON, May a.
By the President of the United State.

~ tire president Of the Omitted States.
The act Of Congress entitled Gan
Act to enforc the provisions Of tho
XIVth Amendment to the Constitu-
ton of the United States, and for
other purposes" approved April 20,
A. d., 1877, beinga law Of extraordi-
nary public Importance, I consider it
my duty TO issue this proclamation
calling the attention of the people Of
the United States thereto; enjoining
upon all good citizens, and especially
upon all public officers, to be jealous
in tho enforcement thereof, and
warning all persons to abstain from
committing any act thereby prohib-
tied. The law Of Congress applies
to all parts Of the united States and
will be enforced everywhere 70 the
extent Of the powers vested in the
Executive; but, inasmuch as the ne.
cessity therefor is we'll known to
have been caused chiefly by persist
emit violations of the rights of citizens
Of the United States by combinations
of lawless and disaffected persons in
certain localities lately in . state of
insurrection and military conflict, |
do particularly exhort the people Of
that part of the country to suppress
all such combinations by their own
voluntary efforts, through the agen-
cy Of local powers, and to maintain
tho rights Of all citizens Of the Uni
tod States, and to secure to all such
citizens equal protection under the
laws.
Fully sensible of the responsibility
imposed upon the Executive by the
act of Congress to which public at
tention is now called, and reluctant
to call into exercise any of the extra.
ordinary powers thereby conferred
upon me, except in cases of impera.
tive necessity, ! do, nevertheless,
deem it my duty to mako known that
| will not hesitate to exhaust tho
power thus vested in the Executive
whenever or wherever 1T shall he
come necessary to do 80 for the pur-
pose of securing to all citizens of the
United States peaceful enjoyment
Of the rights guaranteed to them by
the Constitution and laws.
1t is my earnest wish that peace
and q cheerful obedience to law may
prevail throughout the land, and that
all traces of our late unhappy civil
strife may be speedily removed
These ends can be easily reached by
acquiescenco in the results of the
conflict, now written 10 our Constitu-
ton, and by due and proper enforce
ment of equal, just and impartial
laws in every part Of our country
The failure Of local communities to
furnish such means for an attainment
SO earnestly desired imposes upon
the National Government the duty
of putting forth all its energies for
the protection of Its citixens Of eve
ry race and color, and for the reeto-
ration Of peace and order throughout
the entire country.

Democracy.

Can any man read the following
extract from Deans last letter 70 the
Democrat, and not come to the con-
clusion that if the counsels of his
tribe are to be needed and are tri-
umphant that there is danger Of
another dance of blood in this coun-
try2
Euen no,0, If the Democracy will
agree upon an aggressive canvass
upon q platform of principles which
everybody understands to mean the
restoration of constitutional liberty,
the integrity Of the States, the right
of local self. government and the OBJ
Iteration of the National debt Nth its
Internal Gppendages, we can easily elect
the next President. The Southern
people owe much of their oppression
and insult from the Government to
their obsequiousness and bringing
since the war to power utterly OBJ
livious to magnanimity. II is moo
the duty of the Southern States to
form open and thorough combinations.
The men now legislating against the
south are williams Of nameless atro-
city who legislate to perpetuate
power. But their constituents love
money and want your custom. = =
When tyrants rule as they are now
ruling IN the south, they ought to
meet resistance, and moro than that,
they ought TO expect resistance, and
If they are not taught that such ty-
ranny will provoke resistance, then
farewell to civil liberty everywhere"

Ku Klux in stoddard Co.. Mo

(From the Ironton Enterprise, May A.
We have positive assurances from
most reliable sources that the Ku
KIux are quite active in Stoddard
sounty, this State, and have ordered
several persons 10 leave the county.
Among those ordered to leave is Hon.
Geo. Kitchen, the Representative of
the county in our General Assembly,
the reason assigned for the order be-
ing that Mr.. Kitchen last fall protec-
tod some negroes whom the Ku Klux
were endeavoring to drive out of the
county. Other parties, among Thorn
q gentleman whose name is given to
us rs Bearth, have been ordered to
leave without any apparent cause
except that they arc known Republi-
cans. A short time since thirty OF
the Khan appeared in Bloomfield, the
county seat of Stoddard county, and
ordered q citizen to make payment OF
q certain sum of money which was
claimed to be due some one for whom
the Ku Klux had q particular re-
gard, but we have no particulars of
their visit or their actions. 1t seems
however, from our information thai
there can be nGnioubt Of the organi
zation existing in that county ant
being in a very active condition, in
tent upon doing things as it see
proper. Reports may be exaggera
ted, but, receiving the above state
ments almost direct, we cannot doub
their entire truth. We make n,
comments, but ask our citizens Il
calmly think what must be the re
suits OF these operations.

On their departure the commandant
Of the party waited on Madame p,

to thank me for. As victor, you had
the power Of entering my. house, and
you availed yourself Of it." "Mad
