Ku-Klux Legislation.

In his speech before the d. v. Con-
vention, Saturday, Hon. D. G. Cloud
expended great deal Of time and no
little physical energy in deciaiming
against that "most iniquitous' iegis.
lation of the general government
known as the Ku-klux law. He was
just then engaged in the attempt to
defame Gen. Grant, and without
showing just how the responsibility OF
the eristence Of laws rests with man
who is sworn only to theirerecution,
he proceeded to call down the wrath Of
heaven and the displeasure Of every
honest man upon President Grant,
because Congress made q law which
he exhausted all the abusive adjec-
tives in describing. But the "Great
and good Mr.. Greeley" for whose
election he urged all those honest
men to abjure Gen. Grant-of course
Mr.. Greeley thinks the Ku-klux law
abominable. Let US see what he says
about it, including the provision sus-
bending habeas corpus, which fairly
makes Mr.. Clouds hair to stand on
end. These are Horace Greeley's
words:
II hold our government bound
by it's duty of protecting our
citizens in their fundamental rights,
TO pass and enforce laws for the exter-
nation of the exeorabie Ku-Klux con-
spiracy and If 1t has not the power to
do it, then say our government Is no
government, but . sham. /, there
fore, on every proper occasion, advo'
Gated and justified the ku-Klux act.
hold it especially desirable for the
south, and, If it does not prove strong
enough to effect this purpose, hope
it will be made STRONGER AND sTRoN-
GER"
Now how could 1t be possible for q
man who thinks as Mr.. Cloud does to
stultify himself worse than by sup
porting this same Horace Greeley for
President? The answer is apparent.
1t can only be done when q man who
believes as Mr.. Greeley says he does
allows himself to become the candi-
date of party which he knows to be
Numerically opposed to his own con-
victions of right upon important ques-
tons.

A positive denial comes from Lon
don that any difficulties have arisen
in the Court Of Arbitration at Geneva.
There is every reason to believe that
affairs will progress to favorable con-
clusion. Thus will two Of the most
powerful nations of the earth be pre-
served from the curse Of war, and .
precedent be established that will do
more to put An end to international
fsuds and hostilities than anything
ever attempted In any age. For this,
the world will be indebted to the hu-
name prudence Of Great Britain, and
to the calm sagacity Of President
Grants Administration What would
have been the result had Greeley been
President?

A tremendous rain fell Monday
afternoon along the east line Of Cedar
and throughout Scott county. Small
creeks in the west part Of Scott were
higher than ever known before. AL
though accompanied by some wind,
no very serious damage is reported to
the uncut crops. The most singular
thing connected with the freshet Is
the fact that, falling upon section
threatened by the army worm, 1t seems
to have exterminated the pest. Far
:ners down there say they are entirely
gone washed out.

Judge Love, of the United States
District Court Of Iowa, has decided
that sales Of lands for delinquent
taxes, when made to parties between
whom there Is an understanding not
to compete with one another, Is fraud
ulent and void. He holds that such
an arrangement is a conspiracy against
the clear purpose Of the law, in that 1t
prevents the competition invited by
sales at auction. 1t may be well to
remember this.

tages of the region through which the Road
is building Fortunately, our final and cri-
tical surveys are proving that the facts may
be considerably understated, and yet make a
perfectly satisfactory showing. g..1s,d.
H The newspaper stories about Indians and
danger from them to the railroad across Da-
kota, have no solid foundation in fact The
Indian situation, SO far as tic. Northern Pa
cifc Railroad is concerned, is this: As far
west ns the Missouri river the question is
settled, and no danger need be apprehended.
Our men travel all over the country between
the Red and Missouri rivers by day and by
night, without escort and unarlned. The
few troops at the James and Missouri rivers
will suffice to prevent thieying raids by strag-
Cling natives until the last have finally disap-
peared before the army tof white settlers.
West of Fort Ellis, in Montana, all the way
to the Pacific coast, the Indian question is
forever disposed Of. All our engineering
parties, six in number, between Montana and
the Pacific are operating without escort.
The only portion of the line yet in allegiance
between the Indians and the whites is between
the Missouri river and the westerly bend of
the Yellowstone, east of Fort Ellis. There
our parties, now taking the field, have strong
escorts of United States troops, well pre-
pared to fight, if necessary. But no fighting
is to be apprehended. If our escorts were
weak, there might be some risk. Frontier
spectators who wish to see Government mo-
ney freeley spent in their vicinity and to their
advantage, will doubtless continue to furnish
the newspapers with prophesies of imminent
''Indian wars in the Northwest. The con-
struction of the Northern Pacific Railroad
will entirely settle the Indian troubles on
belt at least one hundred miles wide and fif-
tee1 hundred miles long, embracing one hun
dred and fifty thousand square miles, a. large
portion of which will ere long contain an in

.G0u will remember that Mrs. Drake Mills
fell from Il four-story window in Washing
ton Il few days since, and was fatally in
jurel. Thereby hangs tale of interest.
Drake Mills was retired merchant Of
New York, wealthy, and OF high sociable
position. She was born in WiliamSport,
Mass, was connected with the first New
England families, and after her marriage q
bright light in society. They had an only
daughter, named Alice. who possessed many
Of the brilliant social qualities of her mother.
During the war, 10 tho surprise of her friends
and the Intense disgust of her mother, she
became eIamore,l of Fernando Wood, then a
widower. In time they were married. and
an alienation in the fnmiy resulted. The
father took the part oi Fernando, and when
he died he disinheritcd his only son, Henry
Edward, for his hostility TO Wood. Henry
thercupon had his name changed by Legis-
lative Act, from Drake to Sutton, the maiden
name of his mother. Mother and son kept
wholly aloof from Wood and his wife, and
steadfastly refused to recognize them. Mrs.
Drake spent her winters ut the Capital, be-
cause of her fondness for Washington soci-
ETY., but always ignored Fernando. She pos
sessed a large fortune and up to her death
lived in royal style. Now comes the remark
able part of the story. Prior to her death
she made will, which contained the follow
ing provisions: .a. .-..
I. 1t stipulates that her portraits and
paintings of every description shall be given
to an institution in Washington, in order
that they may not be desecrated by the hands
of Fernando Wood. ftll .f.t3tf
