A few days ago 1 had the fortune
to be thrown into company with
Fred. Douglass, who is now on .
lccturing tour IN the West, and, of
course. t would not do to miss the
chance Of chat with him. Accord
ingly, l drew out my card and hand
ed it to him.
xAh, to be sure, the Milwaukee
Sentinel said he. Still looking at
the card, he thrust out his left hand
mechanically, saying: MY name is
Frederick, 1 suppose you have heard
OF me-" I assured hum that my ears
had been blessed with the joyful
sound of his name some years ago,
and that l had listened 20 his lecture
on the previous evening. He exhib-
lied little anxiety to know how his
lecture had been received, when q
conversation ensucd somewhat as
follows:
Corresponlent-Your lecture gave
entire satif faction in the matter, so
far as could learn, bat / think your
audience expected TO see you more
active and fiery.

President, I do not choose 10 men,

gODinions of the Press.


The Brooklyn (N. W Eagle CON-
mentiug ON the financial shewngs
made by the congressional hu kluz
reports as to the ssreconstructedD gov
ernments of the Southern States, says
"a" They exhibit a degree and condi-
ton of public robbery that make one
wonder the In .Klux Klan is not of the
proportions wrongly contended tor by
the majority. No other people in the
world would submit to such IA state OF
things without revolution. Were the
States not the part OF a Union which
can aud will redress the wrongs they
are almost powerless to remedy, reyo-
luton would be inevitable. The ex.
tract we have given weakly epitonizes
condition of affairs Northern reatlefs
now pretty well understand. That
condition receives daily continuation in
the haste, with which. the Southern
Governors are being sent to the peni-
tentiary or United States Senate The
North has been called phlegmatic. Bat
halt the wrong endured here that is en-
dured South would plant a gallows at
every crossroads"
On the subject Of the majority report
even the republican New York Tribune
says:
Although there may be some diff
ference of opinion; rs TO the verdict
which should come from the Congress
committee on Ku Klux, there can be
none aus to the eextravagance and capac-
ity OF the carpet-bag governments.
The comprehensive report OF the, Hon.
Job 4. Stevenson. is proof conclusive
on the points heretofore urged against
these locust like officials Misrule and
corruption have combened with rufiian
fisIniand brutal Imeb-law to make the
South uninhabitable. Day after day
aud week alter week the .crnmbling
fabrics Of these fraudulent political
structures have attested the truth of
all that the Tribune long ago said of
the barpet- baggers. LII the end of the
Ku Nux shall come with that of the
thieves, it will be well for the whole
country"
1t will be seen that the House OF
Representative on Monday refused to
print the monority report unless all uh-
parliamentary expressions we're strick,
en- out. The facts of the report are
strong enongh, it is true, of themsel-
YES, and the, Investigation, if under
taken BY the majority, with view OF
making political capital, will not avail
party interests much, or be sufficient
excuse for the peculiar legislation OF
Congress which. has been enforced in
the Sonth.
