THE Kg KLUx AND THEIR SUPPRESSION.
lFrom the N. Y. Herald.
The existence of the Ku Klux organization is
no longer doubtful, and this lawless conspiracy,
the conception, no doubt, OF the rash and hot
headed youth Of the South, ia only one of the
means by which the prejudice still nourished
against the freedmen exhibits itself in some of
the ex-rebel States. 1t is the duty Of the United
States government to protect the colored race in
those rights guaranteed them by the constitu-
tion and the war of the rebellion would still be
unfinished il the constitutional results growing
ont Of it could not or should not be enforced
over every foot OF territory in the Union.
NOTHING LIKE IT, sINCE MONROE.
From the N. Y. Herald
From day to day, as we approach the active
field work of the Presidential campaign, the
shaping Of the political elements of the country,
administration and opposition, still more sharply
than on the day preceding foreshadows the re-
nomination and there-electon of General Grant
Since the time Of Monroe we have had DO can
di1ate for a seond Presidential term whose pros
poets at this early stage Of the canvass have
been better than the prospects of General Grant
for triumphant endorsement by the people.

From the N. Y. Herad.l
Mr. Sumner now takes the place which was
occupied by Calhoun in 1882 against Jackson ;

by Mr.. Chase in 1854, and Mr.. Greeley comes up,
as usual, to head off the party favorite He is
the clown OF the ring, as completely established

Moreover, he is " our later Franklin" but still
he has his Custom House account to settle with
Grant, Conkling and Murphy, and he has re-
dueed 1t to the one-t erm principle. rs. And Tom

Dream children.

"An Old Bachelor" in Harper's
Bazaar under the above head, tells Of
the experience of an nacquaintance of
his the following:
She was early and happily mar
ried; but one after another of her
children had died, and all at the ten
derest age. Some fate seemed to be
set against those innocent young
lives, and while still in the nursery
they died. So the young mother
was totally bereft. Still she felt
herself to be 4 mother; but her
sweet family were dream children
only. Their nursery remained un-
changed. The toys, the little tables
and chairs, the torn picture books;
they were left as the iast-of the LOST
darlings nad left them, and the last
had died thirty years before l saw
the mother.
She, meanwhile, had passed from
the young wife to the matrOn, and
the brown hair with which the baby
fingers had PLAYED was gray now,
and covered with cap. There was
no morbid or querulous complaint
in her manner or ia her life; no
cynicism or false gayety. To most
persons she would seem merely q
grave and tranquil lady, who had
probably some sorrow. But those
dead children nodded her whole
character. A sad gentleness, an
endless self-eacrifice, a sweetness of
charity that shamed calumny
and inspired generous judgment,
made her life, as l had always heard.
one Of the nOblest ofinfuences. She
bore with her and diffused an mex
pressible human tenderness. And
the source of it was that unchanged
nursery and the children who pratt
tied and played there long ago-the
children who are children only for
ever.

While her Iife-tide was ebbIng slowly;

And vainly we waited for her farewell

One whisper only the silence stirred
Beautiful dreams! beautiful dreamsy'
Again we listened; she slumbered en-;
Like leaf in the light wind shaker
her breathing fluttered, her pulse beat low,
We feared she would never w.ken.
she lifted her large and lustrious eyes
And uttered again, In glad surprise,
'such beautiful, beautiful dreams"'
No more-on the wings of those beautiful
dreams
She was gone, and the day was ended;
As We folded her hands to their last reposs
The evening shades descended;
And the stars came out and wrote ga high
In golden letters the mystery
Beautiful dreams beautiful dr.sms.''

memphl. and Jackson nanoaa. /


The Nashville Union and Ameri-
can, of Tuesday, speaks in high
terms of the importance of this road
and says: "Its most sanguine friend~
do not full, appreciate its impOr-
tance." This is IA strong in
dorsement from that influential
journal which will be highly priced
by the friends of the road. The Tn
ion and American however recon-
mends that it should be of the stan
dard gauge of five feet 10 connect
with the Nashville road from Hunt
ingdon, and also with the Tennessee
and Pacific read from Nashville to
Lebanon. The friends of this road
do not agree with the Union and
American upon that point. They
feel that they cannot raise the means
to build a broad gauge road, which
would cost thirty thousand dollars
per mile. This is reason enough TO
determine their choice. Again they
belive a gauge of three feet is suffi-
cient to enable the road to do as
much business as is done by any
road in Tennessee, at much lower
rates. They also believe a road OF
that gauge costing only twelve thou-
sand dollars per mile will yield
twice as great dividends to stOckhol-
ders as one of the standard gauge.
If the Tennessee and Parifso i n fair.
sz-z=Tsfr,--sase-rewer bTcsds gauge
roads built the better, since that
road has cost an enormous amount
in proportion to the length of the
road. The object of the men in the
Memphis and Jackson road is to
build a road that will Pay dividends
to the stockholders as well to bene-
fit the country. At jackson they
will connect with the Huntingdon
road, and il will only be necessary
to change cars once between this
city and Nashville, which is now
done at Mckenzie and also at Deca-
tur. II the only object was TO con-
meet with the road to Nashville
there might be some reason for
gauge Of FIVE feet, but they also
hope and expect to continue this
road through Henderson, Decatur,
Perry and Hickman counties, to
Nashville, or to go hy the way Of
Colubia, Murfrees bOrO and Sparta,
to Knoxville. They cannot see the
necessity or WISDOM OF eXpendlng
$50, 900 a mile on q railroad when d
better, safer and more proGtable
road can be built for less than halt
of that amount. II countless were
allowed to vote subscriptions by a
majority vote to build railroads, and
if Stale aid were granite TO such
we might think of
building railroads at great expense,
but now under our new constitu-
tiOn, which seems to have been
framed with q view to prevent the
building OF railroads, to talk OF
building them at cost Of $4,000 a
mile seems out Of place, at least in
our State. We must either have
cheap railroads or no railroads.
For these and other reasons we
think the Memphis and Jackson
Railroad company will adhere to
the gauge Of three feet.-APpeDl.
