WRONG ADDREss.-Some Of our CORES
pondents address theil communications to
r. McKindIey and there being an Fl.
McKindley in Ken0sha who is not Us, our
communications sometimes go into his
hands and put him to the trouble of re
burning them to the Post Office. There
Is something in name. Something in
Che right name. And something in the
eight address. Correspondence who have
known us for twenty-five years and have
cur name before them every week in the
NBLEaRAPH arc scarcely excusable in
writing our name Fl. McKi1dley. A little
carefulpess and accuracy on their part
would save Post Masters and others no
little trouble, -.
Sometimes we are addressed as Hayes
and McKindley. By thus addressing US
4Ehe writers spell both names wrong and
make us two, dozen, a score, a hundred,
"a thousand, or any other number, SO far
"a their wrong address can make us more
shan one. We have serious objections to
being made into more than one much
more than we would to having another
lie right one-made one with US. All
Nat we ask, however, in this respect, is
Nat correspondents and Others who write
10 us shall address their letters to the ed
laor or p4blisher of the TELEGRAPH, or to
Gays Mckinley, with or without prefix,
aafix or title, as they may think best.

Discussion or COUNTY UNION. = In
opening the columns of the TELEGRAPH
FOR discussion OF the County Union CUES
ton we did not intend to have the dis
,cussion nearly all on one side, to have it
nearly moncpolized by one writer, much
of it to be inreply to editorials If other
papers, and portion of 1t so personal
that It's admission is of doubtful proprie
-tF. The proper place for replies to edi-
torials is through the papers in which
the editorials appeared, and especially so
If the editorials and replies become per-
sonal in their character and aim. We
Ecarcely feel justified in admitting a reply
10 an editorial of another paper, both of
which are personal in their character and
aim, unless the writer of the reply has first
been Refused hearing IN the paper in
which the editorial appeared. And, as
che TELEGRAPH intends to be seldom the
medium for personalities, we trust our
correspondents will govern themselves ac-
ecordingly.
We hare still little to say on County
Union, but we have delayed saying it to
give place to other matter. Last week
we had to delay three long communiCs-
e&ions for want of room. This week we
have to delay about as many. We hope
all will be patient. for their time will
come by and by, We would also say that
we hope our correspondents will practice
-eomprehensiveness rather than 6iffasive.
mess Much in little is very good mot

think of it when writing for publication.

CHICAGO, February 2O.-Judge Far

change of venue in the case Of two OF

Amusements.

MEMPHIS THEArER. The dramatic
wonder, Lolita, appeared before crowded
house last night. The piece was the
Little Detective and Lolita assumed six
different characters, viz: Florence
Langton," "Grizzle Gruttridge," Mrs.
Gamage," Harry Racket" Barney
O'Brien,p and Lodvica," all Of which
she represented with spirit and ability.
A critic on morning journal believes
that Lolita is merely amusing, and II
Mrs. Bowers should dance jig be-
tween acts in Macbeth and Mary Stuart,
no house in Memphis could hold the
audience" Here the critic is mistaken.
Mrs. Bowers jig would empty the house
in few seconds, while Lolita terpsicho-
rean !eats would fill it in half the time.
Lolita is an artist and actress in her line,
and in that line unapproachable, but the
Bowers caper would be poor travesty.
The newspaper CRITICS agree in recog-
nizing Lottas versatile talents. Thev
bow before the weight Of public opinion,
which after all is the only true standard
of criticism. Mr.. Ketchum, as Lu-
dovica," made his mark as a grotesque
and first rate comedian last evening.
Ny. Allerton, as Tracy, the Detective"
appeared to advantage. This evening
Lolita will again appear in the Little
Detective. Last evening telegram
was received from the grand duke in
forming Lolita that he was SO pleased
with her acting in New Orleans that he
had sent her a bracelet composed Of
diamonds, opals and pearls, as a testi-
monial of APPROVAL custom usual in
the old world.
BRooMs OPERA House. The Victo-
rifle family at Broom's have proven a
great attraction. They certainly merit
much appreciation, for their perform
ances are first-class. The thrilling feats
of Henry and Oscar on the horizontal
bar are excellent, and their terrific leaps
in mid air simply astounding. Neil
Rogers, one of the cleyerest delineators
of Ethiopian character in this country,
is becoming a great favorite, and is no
small card at Brcom's. Altogether,
Broom has an excellent company and
we'll deserving patronage.
THE OLYMPIC.-Manager Lusk seems
determined to keep pace with the times,
and hence his variety company is one OF
the best in the South, and capable of
giving a mirth-provokiug entertainment
every evening The Olympic is always
well patronized because the company is
always 8 good one and the performance
such as to interest and entertain.

cLAyroN,s CASE.

For one who is at all sensitive oil his
reputation, It is serious thing to be
regarded by the country as q bad man,
In respect to Senator Clayton, OF Ar
kansas, this is the unquestionable YER
dict of all disinterested men. A com
mittee is now setting on his case, with
no prospect Of coming to a conclusion
during this session of congress. Intel
ligence from Washington informs us
that the testimony, so far, is overwhelm-
ing. and more than sufficient TO warrant
his expulsion from the senate. He is
well aware Of this, and is using every
effort to prolong the investigation until
after the adjournment Of congress, be-
lieving that if Grant is reelected the
admin stration will be strong enough in
the senate to prevent his expulsion when
the report is made. His attorney has
recently filed a list of four hundred wit
nesses, to be summoned from Arkansas,
to give testimony in his favor. The
committee are now considering the pro-
priety of transferring their labor to Lit
tie Rock, in order to save expense to the
government. When it is considered
that the toiling people are taxed to
pay the expense of this Investigation, il
is pertinent to inquire, who is Clayton9
that his ambition should operate as a
burden on the country. What public
service has he performed2 If he is
benefactor, where are his benefachons2
He has manipulated the negro vote of
Arkansas. By it he has climbed to
power. He employed tina. power to op-
press the white people of Arkansas. We
suppose that he fully comprehends the
disposition Of the men who lead the gov
erning party, and is justified in presum-
ing that 10 the event Of Grants re-elec-
ton, the administration will be strong
enough to carry his reputation; that for
partisan ends it will overlook all his
crimes and retain him in the Senate.
We do not happen to know what esti-
mate the head of the government places
on compliments, but this from a pro-
fessed friend would not be relished by
any virtuous man.

WASHINGTON.

WAsHISGToN, February 20.-The tes-
timony ELECTED by the New Orleans in
vestigating committee will show very
damaging state of affairs, which cannot
fail to have damaging effect upon the
manner Of appointments to Office by the
present administration. 1t is stated
that the testimony against Collector
Casey, touching the participation in the
bribery case, will make very unfavor-
able showing for that officer and the
President. ef.GVfsf IN
The house civil service reform com
mittee, at a meeting yesterday, agreed
to Williard's bill-for preserving the in
dependence of the social department OF
the goyernment-and ordered it to be
reported favorably to the house.
The evidence taken before the sub
committee of the Ku-Klux committee is
not ready TO be presented, but will be SO

Wade Hampton, NJ. c. Butler and Mr.
Kershaw, Of South Carolina, have ar
rived here to ask for hearing before the
Ku-Klux committee to defsnd them
selves against charges made in the SEN
ate that they were in active sympathy
with the Ku-Klux.
There is no longer room to debut that
important cabinet changes will soon be
made. It is understood that Colonel
John W. Forney will be postmaster gen
eral, succeeding Creswell. Mr.. Hale, the

ton, censuring the government for ap'
pointing Sir Robert Collier to the judi
cial committee of the privy council. The
whippers-in had been busy hunting up
members all the afternoon, the result OF
which was that all the benches were well
filed, the galleries more or less crowded,
and the excitement Of the occasion was
visible everywhere. When the vote was
called it was discovered that the govern
ment had a majority of only twenty
seven, which caused great sensation,
and plainly exposed the weakness Of
Gladstone's ministry.
1t was the general opinion in political
circles tonight that the present minis
try owes its continued existence solely
to its intimate connection with the pend
ing American complications.
ANTWERP, February l9.-The delega-
ton appointed to visit Count de Cham
bord and lay before him the plan OF the
proposed fusion of the 0rleanists and
Legitimists' interest, have arrived here.
A lengthy interview was had with him,
who. il is now announced, has given the
scheme his entire approval, and prom
ised his influence and cooperation to
aid in its execution.
Since the announcement that the
Count de Chambord has given his appro
val Of the proposed fusion of the mon
archial party he has received several
private Populations in favor OF the
movement.
The t:,y is full of detectives sent hither
by NJ. Theirs to watch the proceedings
and parties connected Herewith. The
matter is creating no little excitement.
Future developments Of the scheme are
looked for with increasing interest.
PARIS, February 1.-the receipt of
the intelligence from Antwerp that
Count de Chambord had signi6ed his
approval of the projected fusion of the
Orleanists and Legitimists, caused con-
siderable agitation in political circles.

is believed, of utilizing their entire
strength and influence and force dis
solution of the assembly prior to the
return of Count de Chambord when he
will be again brought forward by his adj !
herents as candidate for the throne.
On all sides it is considered that great
crisis is imminent. The republican

proposal which was started some time
ago, emanating from the left center OF
the assembly, to elect NJ. Theirs presi-
dent for life and renew the assembly by |

KU.KLux REVIVED.

After all, there are Ku-Klux. They
have appeared in Maury county, and
some of them have been captured. It's
lamentable to be compelled to record
the fact that they are all colored. We
had hoped better things of the colored
race. We knew of their habits of order
and piety. We used to hear, when a
boy, a saving that the niger who could
shout, pray and preach loudest was the
biggest rogue. One old planter, who
INDUCED to great degree in the pro-
duction of poultry, pigs and lambs, used
TO say that whenever he heard very
loud niger meeting" he put guard
round his live stock Immediately. No
doubt this is unjust to our colored peo-
pie generally, for it must be admitted
that, take them in the mass, they con-
duct themselves as orderly, and proba-
bly, more so, than the whites. Wei, these
Ku-Kluxin Maury county were all celored
persons. They armed themselves, andln
complete DISCUSSES rode up to the house
of man at the noon of night, and called
for him. Fortunately, he was absent.
They said they had come to hang HIM
They conducted themselves in an inso-
lent manner, went through the house,
and wound up the campaign by carrying
off all the meat they wanted. 1t is bad
enough for white people to violate the
Ku.Klux laws, but when colored people,
the pets of the government, so far forget
their position as to put their heads in its
clutches in the name of an enervated,
demoralized, cadaverous humanity, what
are we coming to-? Fortunately for the
persons who composed this Ku-Kiux |
gang, they are not white. The parent
government, ever tender Of its lambs,
will institute no inquiry and, unless some
rebel court shall take the matter in hand,
they will go free We rather incline to
the opinion that, though it would be
dreadful stigma on the race, they are
bound for the penitentiary.
