Some two months ago Mr.. Greeley called
the attention of Mr.. Gerrit Smith to the fact
that many of the Ku-Klux prisoners confined
at Albany we're deserving of the interposition
of Executive clemency. He urged that some
of these poor creatures were so grossly igno-
rant, that others were too young to compre
hend the nature of the fearful obiga-
tions which they bad assumed, and that
Others nd undoubtedly been terrified into

for the abolition of slavery in Cuba and Porto

The present State Constitution Of Arkansas
deprives several classes of citizens of the
right to vote and hold Office. One of these
classes is described as "those who may be
disqualified by the proposed amendment to
" tire Constitution of the United States, known
"as Article XIV" the Fourteenth Amend
ment not having at that time been adopted.
Congress, in accordance with the provisions
of that amendment, having recently by the
passage of an act Of amnesty removed tho
disabilities from all but comparatively small
number, certain citizens of Arkansas have
been endeavorng to ascertain what change
has been made in their status by the
Amnesty law. Having ceased to be dis
qualified by the Constitution of the United
States, and being disqualified by no other
provision Of the Arkansas Constitution than
that above referred to, they naturally claim
the privilege of voting. This right the State
Administration denies them. On the other
hand, the Hons. Reverdy Johnson and Albert
Pike, in the able and elaborate opinions which
we present on our second page together with
the attorneys letter of Gov. Hadley), affirm
the Justice Of the claims of these men TO the
ordinary privileges of citizens. At the pres
ent time the Government of Arkansas is worse
than that of a fourthrate South American
State, and the Administration appears to have
no sense Of decency in the management of
this satrapy.

In the Barnard trial, yesterday, the opening
arguments of the counsel for the prosecution
having been concluded, Mr.. Beach began a
very indiscreet defense of the respondent. 1t
really does not seem that it was at all eXpe-
dent or polite for the counsel to abuse the
Court and Managers but this was done, with
some gratuitous notices of the newspaper cor
respondents and opposing counsel added there
TO. The real argument of the learned gentle
man seems scarcely begun, and refers so far
only to the possibility that the respondent may
have erred merely in judgment and been un-
influenced by corrupt motives.

He answered and crushed Blaine; he answered
and crushed White why, they inquire, should
he not answer Mr. Garrisonf There is at
least one good reason. Mr.. Sumner has never
read Mr.. Garrison's letter. Hearing in adj
vance from trusted friend that it was un-
generous in tone, he quietly put it aside, pre-
ferring that no harsh criticisms over present
differences of judgment should be permitted
to interfere with his generous appreciation OF
the past services of the critic.

Mr.. Sumner from the Senate Committee on Foreign

Institute: 1t turned out that treaties six or seven
in number having long lain buried in the Commit

brought up and ratified" Who could have invented
such a foolish io as this We say foolish, because
Mr.. Summers habits of hard work and promptness
in public business are celebrated The fact Is Just

The Administration will be panied to learn that
treason of the blackest kind has corrupted that
stronghold of party faithfulness the New-York Gus
tom-house. The Campaign Slumgulhon. which Is u
tremendous and most indispensable organ Of tho
Renominationists. published at runOus expense in
this city, has been treated with contumely in tho
Appraisers office. Several clerks have refused to
subscribe for it, One said no, because he had too
many papers of that kind already Another said no,
because he could not afford it. Whereupon The Slaa
gullion comes out in the following fine style

From Mexico We receive a caustic review of
the political situation as it existed Immediately
after the death of Juarez. The members of
the Cabinet, strange to say kept their port
folios and waited for the Constitutional sue
cessor of the deceased President to remove
them This indelicate proceeding was prob
ably the legitimate result of the system of
corruption and nepotism which has been
growing up in Mexico. These men who wait
to be kicked out were not only the
obsequious henchmen of President Juarez,
but they were the salaried dispensers
of vast amount of official patronage, which
was largely absorbed by tho brothers-in-law
and other numerous relatives of the President.
This crying evil of keeping the offices and the
Government contracts in the family, it will be
recollected, was one of the most powerful ar
guments used against the reelection of the
President. We are now speaking of Mexico,
it must be remembered, not the United States
of America, and the account given by our cor
respondent will furnish much material to point
a moral

Mr. Frederick Douglass is welcome 10 support
President Grant to his hearts content; but be hasn
right to misrepresent one who has been bis friend
and the friend Of his race for years than tho
President has been months. Here is The Herald
reporting Mr. Douglass as crowding into
paragraph disingenuous misrepresentation
enough to stock ordinary denomination organ
for column two He denies that he COM
planned of the Presidents treatment in the
precioe terms attributed to him "by Mr.
Sumner" But it was not by Mr.. Sumner. but
by Mr.. WoImley, man of his own color, Of equal
respectability and responsibility, who heard the
remarks and testified over his signature to what he
heard. Mr.. Douglass treats the matter as puro
question of social courtesy, affecting only himself =;
he does not even seem to see that Mr.. Sumner was
not caring whether the man Fred. Douglass dined
with the President OF with anybody; but
did care for the principle that race
good enough to furnish q high officer of National
Commission should not be Disseminated against
when that Commission was officially invited TO the
White House. Mr.. Douglass has, however, dropped
one point he doesnot repeat the assertion Mr. Sum-
ner so thoroughly dsproved about having missed
the invitation only because he was absent from tho

II would appear that the Hon. John Is. Alley
of Lynn, Mass, has asked Gen. b. f. Butler
if he will consent to be a candidate for Gu
bernatorial hOnors once more. Gen. Butler
with that easy assurance of which he Is a
complete master, embraces the occasion to
write letter on the political situation, which
we print herewith. The General disposes OF
the question of his candidacy by
saying, in substance, that he Is ex-
cessively desirOus for the harmony of the
party to which he belongs, therefore, he VIII
not consent to be O candidate for nomination
AS for suitable man to receive that honor,
he names Gov. Washburn, who beat him last
wear; and this nomination, it seems would
tickle Gen. Butler very much, as Messrs. Sum-
ner, Banks, BOwles, ETC., who are now IN the
Liberal ranks, would have to support him. be-
cause they did in 1871.

Some capital hints are given to managers
and projectors of industrial expositions In an
account of the great Russian Exhibition at
Moscow, which we print to-day. This exposi-
ton differs from all its famous European
predecessors in that historical classification
which seems 70 be its most marked pecu-
liarity. In this country, where We nave 30
many varied products, and so many manuiac-
tured and partly developed forms OF tneSo
products, an exhibition like that contemplated
at Philadelphia in 1876 could be made vastly
interesting. But, like the Russian ialr' 1t
must be representation of the history Of
art. science, and manufacture.

We have attached very small importance to
tbe discussions of the Niagara Peace Negotia-
tons as affecting the present campaign MI
Greeley's course was 80 clear so prudent so
completely within the letter OF his instruc-
tions. that all efforts to pick flaws in it have
been abortive. The public have small interest
in the matter now, and mean to decide the
Presidential question on points more nearly
related to the needs and aspirations OF to-
day. Prof. Holcombe's story, however, had a
certain historic value, and we therefore re-
produced it. We do the same to-day for the
story of Mr. Geo. n. Sanders, which has
already appeared in several other papers, and
we give also a letter about the Confederate
archives, from the Pickett who lately arranged
the sale of some of them.
