laws be enacted to secure the neutrality of

Interview with the eX-AttOrney-Hts
Experiences among the Ku-KIux.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 1.-THE Gazette Of
this city tomorrow publishes tie substance
of an interview which its reporter has had
with the Hon. Henry Stanbery concerning
certain damaging statements contained in
newspapers in regard to his experiences
during the Ku-Klux trials in South Caro-
lima, and especially in reference to the al
legged discourtesy shown him and his aSso-
ciate counsel, Hon. Reverdy johnson, by
leading citizens in Columbia, and the report
that they had retired in disgust from the de-
fense of these cases.
Mr.. Stanbery, who had heard Of these
statements, but not read them, on being
shown them, at once pronounced them
wholly without foundation.
Mr.. Stanbery showed their reporter a
letter from Gen. Wade Hampton dated
Columbia, Dec. %, written on the eve of
the ex-Attorney Generals departure, in
which Gen. Hampton says:
"Allow me as chairman of the commit
tee inviting you here to express the sense of
obligation felt by our people to you for the
zeal YOU have shown and the great ability
you have manifested in the great questions
at stake" ..
Mr.. Stanbery said the reception socially
was all that could be desired, though
they were deferred to some extent from
moving in society by the engrOssing nature
of duties.

mnnOsCOPE.

A new instrument has been invented, By
the aid of which an individual is able TO see
all that is going on in his own eye. It is
simply an Opaque shell to cover the eye,
pierced in the centre with a very small hole.
On looking through stesdfastly at the sky,
or any diffused light, the observer may
watch the tears streaming OverdlSe globe,
and note the diiatation and contraction OF
the iris, and even see the aqueous humOr
poured in when the eye is fatigued by .
long observation. 1t is needless to say that,
with the aid of this instrument, man can
easily find out whether he has cataract or
not. If he has, he will only see a sort OF
veil covering the luminous disc, which is
seen by a healthy eye. The instrument is
certainly simple and curious, and viii no
doubt excite attention in those who are
anxious to know more of themselves. An
':iridOscoDe" may be readily extemporized
by making a hole with fine needle in the
bottom of pill box.-Medical Reporter.

THE ACCuRATE BOY.

There was young man once in the Of
flee of Western railway superintendent.
He was occupying position that four hun
dred boys in that city would have wished to
Get. 1t was honorable, and sit paid well, "
besides being in the line Of promotion.
How did he get it? Not by having a rich
father. for he was the son Of a labOrer.
The secret was his beautiful accuracy. He
began as an errand-boy, and did his work
accurately. His leisure time he used in
perfecting bis writing and arithmetic. AZ
ter awhile be learned to telegraph. At
each step his employer commended his ac-
curacy, and relied on what be did because
he was just right.
And it is thus with every occupation.
The accurate boy is the favored one. Those
who employ men do not wish to be on the
constant lookout, as though they were
rogues Orfools. If a carpenter must stand
at his journeyman's elbow to be cure that
his work is right, or if cashier must run
over his book keepers column, he might a.
well do the work himself As employ snoth
er to do il in that way and it is very GER
tain that the employer viii get rid Of such
an inaccurate workman as soon as be
can.

A Radical Postmaster at the Bottom

SANTA FE, N. NJ, Jan. 10.-In the
House of Representatives, to-day, the
Speaker ordered the lobby cleared by the
Sergeant-at-Arms. That officer being un-
able without assistance to carry out the
order, he called on the Sheriff of Santa Fe
for aid, but it was refused. The disorder
then became so great that Speaker Rudolph
adjourned the House until 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning. The Democrats, being
a minority OF the House, remained and
resolution admitting Democrats as mem
bers of the Legislature in place of three
Republicans expelled and one deceased.
They then had Speaker Rudolph and two
other Republicans arrested and.taken to the
hall of the House and held them there as
prisoners until they were taken before the
Supreme Court and gave the defendants
until tomorrow at IL O'Clock to answer.
The Speaker of the House has called on
Gen. Granger for military guard to-mor
row to keep the mob out of the lobby.
The Republicans are firm and resolved to
maintain their rights by all necessary
means. Much excitement exists and both
parties are armed. --.-- ....
The Daily Ne1o Mericdn Republican, edi-
torially charges Postmaster Sullivan, editor
of the Daily Post and Secretary Weller
with the responsibility for the lawlessness
that has been rampant in the Legislature
for some days past.
The Post pronounces the statement by
the Ne1U Mexican, that either Mr.. Sullivan
or Secretary Weller are i'll any degree re-
sponsible for the difficulties in New Mexico
as false and malicious.
Secretary Weller refused to recognize the
new organization made by the Democrats
as Speaker Rudolph and the Republicans
left to-day, and refused to swear in the
members as their request. He took this
action upon advise and consultation with
Mr. Sullivan, ....- .

COLUMBUS, Jan. 1.-THE Democratic
Senators to-day made persistent effort to
have the Senate Journal corrected SO as to
state that in the deciding vote on the cleo
ton of United States Senator, yesterday,
Lieut.. Governor Mueller did wrong, mas
much as Democratic Senators were on the
floor seeking to change their votes before
he commenced to announce the vote, but by
his ruling they were prohibited from making
such change. After long discussion the
motion to correct the Journal was carried
by the Democratic and two Republican
gotes, A similar motion was made in the
House, but was voted down. The Demo

CUSTOMHOUSE CORRUPTION.
An Inside View of RadiCaliSm.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE CongreSsion-
al Retrenchment Committee met at the
hotel this morning. Several anonymous
letters were thrown into the waste basket.
Ex-Appraiser Palmer testiiedthat Jas. L.
Thompson, when Harbor Master, proposed
to Palmer to divide the profits on giving
large allowances to importers on damaged
goods, which proposition Palmer refused,
and made it known to Secretary Boutwell,.
Subsequently Thompson was appointed
weigher in the CuStomhouse, on the recon-
mendation, so Palmer heard, of George
Opdyke.
Palmer testified to his belief that compro-
misses with merchants tended to increase
frauds. Had never heard of any convic-
tiOns. Believed there were more larcenieS
of goods while in possession of the Custom
house than other where. Palmer said he
was informed that his communicating the
misconduct of Thompson to Secretary Bout
well was the reason of his removal, through
the efforts of Senator Conking. Palmer
declined to give the name of bis informant.
Did not give the information to ex-Collector
Murphy.
j. S. Williams, of the Great Western Line
of steamers, preferred the present general
order system to the old system, but, if all
steamships had their own general order
stores, it would save expense and time.
Several letters were received from i'm
porters, ex-Customhouse officials and
others, refusing to be subp9naed as wit
nesses. aT----"T.--
An affidavit was read and sworn to by
John McColie, late Assistant Weigher, in
which he states that while so employed, it
was the common practice not to actually
weigh large portion of the goods landed
III the district, but take the weight from
foreign, the mark on packages. He also
sWore that for two or three weeks before
the late election, sixteen men were en-
ployed and paid for full time for duties and
labor which only required four men to
perform; that most of said men are still
employed.
Gen. Palmer's testimony showed when
Secretary Boutwell, didn't want to appoint
weigher, Thompson, whose unftness was
brought to his notice. Senator Conkling
went to the President and Influenced him
to favor the applicant. Gen Palmer related
instances of cases of goods being broken
open and plundered while in the stores.
John G. Dale, of Inman line, testified
that he had not suffered any serious neon
venience from the Leet and Stocking ware
house since the inquiry began.
The SmOthering Committee.
The committee are divided into "Custom-
house men" and "The other side" Senators
Casserly and Bayard are "The other side, "
and press the investigation, while the other
gentlemen invariably cross examine wit
nesses as counsel for the Customhouse.
One Bliss is the prompter of Senator Howe
in putting questions. Palmer, while under
examination to-day, noticed the activity OF
Bliss in handing written questions to Sena-
tor Howe. He said: l know I am being
cross-examined by Mr.. Bliss indirectly.
have no objection provided he consents to
90 on the stand.
Senator Casserly complained that he has
been week Ia ying to get information from
the Customhouse with regard to officials.
