The Ku-Klux Act.

The House o. Repr sentatives at Washing
ton, on Tuesday, refused, by vote "s los
against "a, to take up the bill which al b.
sequious Senate had passed at Grants bid
ding, To continue the military force law, or, as
it Is more commonly called, the Ku-klux act
which expires with the adjournment of the
present congress, in force until after the
presidential election. Twenty-Five liberal
republicans voted with the democrats against
continuing this infamous law in force, and
thus killed it. Grant Is said to be terribly put
out about It, and, as both houses have agreed
to adjourn on Monday threatens Immediately
On their adjournment to convene them in ex-
ira session to pass the bill.
The situation at Washington, thus finds an
exact parallel in the situation IN the city of
Mexico, according to a dispatch from that city
OF May 10Th. Two years ago the Mexican
congress, while the nation was in a state of
civil war, did jost what the American congress
did year ago, it conferredu upon its president
(Juarez, IN the case of Mexico) dctatoral
powers for two years-that is, power to sus-
pend the writ of haleaS corpus, to try men &C.
cused OF civil otfcnses before military courts
authorizing him to depose state governments
close courts, nullity elections, &c.,-precisey
the same powers as conferred upon Grant by
the ku.kluX act The Mexican Ku-klux law
expired on the 18th o. April, and Juarez de-
manded ofcongress its re enactment Congress
refused, and row JuareZ threatens to d!speIse

force the de!unct Ku-kuN law
The indecency of Grant, in demanding the
continuance IL his hands of dictatorial pow
ers" to compass his own reelection, has less
apology in this country, where profound peace
reigns, than in Mexico where the condition

We may !jccr at Mexico, turn up our noses

The bone cast to our German fellow citizens
by the recent republican state convention on
the temperance question is Invested of good
deal of its marrow by the fact that the gentle
man nominated by the same convention for
attorney general, and whose business it will
therefore be to see that the law is enforced,
and to fight for it in the supreme court. was
one OF the most earnest supporters of the law
in the state senate and will support it in all its
stages through the courts with fanatical
zeal. James t. Edsall is one of those blue
belied Yankees in whose estimation the aver.
