A DEMAaoaUB BA1KED. will
be general rejoicing over the failure OF
General Butler to have Congress take a
recess until the last Of November, so as
to extend the infamous Ku Klux Act
through the Presidential election. The
avowal Of such an object by the Admins
tration leader in the House. shows the
desperate extremity to which the Grant
faction have been driven. They want to
carry the election by force, feeling we'll
assured their leader will stand no chance
in fair vote OF the people. The House
passed, by large majority, substitute
to adjourn sine die on the Sd of June,
though the concurrence Of the Senate is
doubtful. In any event. the vote shows
the progress of liberal views in the
House, and that members of Congress
are no longer cattle to be driven under
the whip Of the Executive.

The BosroN JUBILEE DRUM bass
drum for the Boston jubilee in 1869 was
child's plnything when compared with
the one just completed at Huntington
Falls, Maine, for this years festivity.
The diameter of the first one was eight
feet; that Of this monster is twelve feet,
while it's circumference is' thirty-seven
feet and eight inches, and its width Eve
feet. It is made of maple, requires
twelve boards, each fifteen feet long and
thirteen inches wide, and contains 1876
square feet of timber. 1t is the largest
drum in the world, and was taken from
the factory only by tearing away part
Of the building.

A PROTEST AGAINST PERSONALITIES.
The New York Herald protests against
the introduction of personalities into q
political campaign. AS for the Cincin-
natl nominee, it says:
"Horace Greeley is a true type Of
American life-a self made, honest
hearted, energetic man, having his
peculiarities and eccentric notions, but
all the more American on that account.
If he wears cow-hide boots, destitute of
polish, they have carried him bravely
through an honorable career, marked
out by enterprise and ending in sue
cess. If his coat hangs loosely on his
shoulders and drags at his heels, it but
tons over heart that is proud of the
land OF his birth and full of kindly feel
ings for his fellow-men. If his old
white hat lacks the fashionable curve in
the brim, and looks like n venerable and
not well-preserved family rol;o, it covers
a brain full of genius, ever ready to
labor in tho cause of freedom ard for
the advancement OF the human race.
Ridicule and abuse are harmless weapons
against such man, for the people Of
the United States know him and honor
him, and every eye has a kindly look
and every hand friendly grasp for
'Uncle Horace"

TIE CHARLOTTE CELEBRATION.
parties who were present we have learned
some particulars of the recent celebra-
ton by the firemen, in Charlotte, N. c..
OF the ninety-seventh anniversary of the
"Mecklenhurg Declaration of Independ-
ence." Everything passed off in very
satisfactory manner. At 10 o'clock, o
procession was formed in front of the
Court House, where the visiting firenen
were welcomed by Col. Young. After
marching through the principal streets
OF the city, the procession brought up
in front of the Fair Grounds, where ap-
propriate addresses were delivered by
several gentlemen, amongst whom was
Col. Palmer. of our city. The banner
carried from this city by the Independ-
ents was then presented to the FIRE de-
partment Of Charlotte, by Mr.. Andrew
Crawford, in a brief but handsome
speech, which was responded to by
Col. Young, OF Charlotte. The firemen
we're then invited to Floral Hall, where
table, overaowing with tempting
viands, was awaiting their onslaught.
When the cravings of the inner man
had been satisfied, the line of march was
resumed, and the procession returned to
the city.
The afternoon vas occupied by the
different engine companies in testing the
power of their machines, but the INSULT.
cient supply of water, and the breaking
of their suction pipe. prevented the
Independents from showing the full
capacity of their engine. The festivities
were closed by dance in the evening,
and our boys returned home, yesterday,
highly pleased with their visit and the
cordial and hospitable treatment they re-
ceived from the citizens of Charlotte.

ment they rendered to Schurz, Trum-
bull, Brown and Greeley, and must
recollect it at Baltimore and at the ballot
box in November:
The Liberal Republicans were given
to understand, as plainly and as directly
as the nature of the case would permit,
that if they would announce such prin-
oiples as Democrats could endorse, place
honest and able candidates in the field,
and exhibit such strength of their own
as to render coalition with them rea-
sonably certain Of success, they should
receive the hearty support OF the great
Democratic organization.
Who can pick flaw in their platform?
Who can question the integrity and abb
lity OF their nominees7 aud who can
doubt their numerical strength after the
immense concourse at Cincinnati, the
endorsement given the movement by the
press and by distinguished individuals,
and the terrible fright which has seized
upon the followers of Grant, and their
frantic efforts to prevent Democratic
combination?
Ali the conditions have been satisfied
on the part of tho Liberal Republicans,
and all that is left now undone is that
coalition which was guaranteed by the
Democrats. Good faith, therefore. re-
quires that the Democrats now perform
their part Of the implied agreement.
But even should some be willing to
break their faith, or be 30 obtuse as to
contend that there is no obligation upon
the Democratic party to support Greeley
and Brown, still there is nothing to be
gained by pursuing any other course.
If the Democracy could not beat
Grant before, how much the less will
they be able to do it now, that thousands
of their former supporters will cast their
votes for Greeley and Brown, no matter
what other candidates may be in the
field. A straight Democratic ticket
would not stand ghost of chance,
even should the Liberal Republican can
didates remain in the field, for the latter
would undoubtedly, in q triangular con-
test. receive more Democratic than Re-
publican votes.
There is no schism in the Republican
party like that of 1860 in the Democratic
party, by means of which Mr.. Lincoln
was elected. Then the Democrats split
among themselves in convention. The
factions were utterly irreconcilable, and
had each a large following. There was,
moreover. no agreement or under
standing between the Republican party
and either wing of the Democracy.
Had there been; and the Republicans
afterwards broke faith, as some urge the
Democrats now to do, the great mass OF
the disafeoted wing would have fallen
back into line, and Mr.. Lincoln would
never have been elected. There is q
slight resemblance, but not the least
analogy, between the two cases, as any
one will perceive who gives little reAec-
ton to the subject.

TERRIBLE MASSACRE IN TEXAS-AT-
TACK ON WAGON TnA1N.-A report has
been received at the War Department
detailing the massacre by Indians, Mex
leans and negroes combined, of o train
OF supplies en- route to Stockton, at
Howard's Wells, near old Fort Lancas-
ter. The facts. ss reported to General
Augur by Colonel Merritt, of the Ninth
Cavalry, under date OF Fort Clark, Texas,
April 20, are as follows:
A Mexican train, loaded with United
States commissary and ordnance stores,
on it's way from San Antonio to Fort
Stockton, waa attacked and taken by In
dians, who plundered and burned all
the people with the train. Seventeen
souls in Ill were killed or wounded.
One woman alone escaped. Rapid pur-
suit was at once made by Companies A
and FL of the Ninth Cavalry, commanded
respectively by Captain Cooney and
the trail some seven or eight miles, the
on the summit of steep and almost in
occurred, in which, I regret to say,
ed, while bravely leading and attempting
reports six Indians killed in the fight.
Words fail to convey al idea of the
sickening atrocities committed by the
demons who overpowered the train men,
several Of whom were taken alive. tied
to the wagons and burned. An old
woman was carried some distance from
the place of attack, then shot and
scalped. Her grand-child had its ears
cut of, was sonlped and hnd it's brains
dashed out, while her daughter, the
mother of the child, who witnessed it all,
ns also the death of her husband ut the
train. was carried off by the fends.
More than one poor wretch orawled
from the burning wagons after the ropes
which bound them had burned of, only
to burn 10 blackened, unacceptable
masses, with their charrad hands and
faces raised in positions Of entreaty.
The train had nine men with it, the re-
mainder of the party being women and
children.
1t is feared that one woman was taken
away by the band, though it is possible
that she, as we'll as the other body un-
accounted for, was burned to ashes with
tho wagons. It is reported that the
band consisted of from 125 to $50 men,
and was composed of Indians, Mexicans
and deserters from the army.
General Augur expresses the opinion
that the Indians came from Mexico, and
this belief is sustained by the facl
that Me1icans were with them and de-
serters from colored regiments, the Int.
ter universally going into Mexico.

INoUEsr.-A difficulty occurred on

Lizzie Thompson and Aleck -, both
colored, when the woman received seve.
raj severe blows, two of which knocked
her down, with her infant child in her
arms. and SO severely ipjuring it, that it
died yesterday morning. An inquest
was held upon the body by Coroner
Coleman, and the jury returned ver-
dict, that although the child was sick,
it's death was hastened by the inhuman
treatment received at the hands of said
Aleck, whose other name or names were
unknown to the jurors.
