GRANT, CHIEFERT OF sECE8sIoNIsTs
1t Is infinitely more criminal to
fasten countless thieves upon south
ern governments than was the effort
of southern governments to separate
themselves from the Union. Nothing
that Grant could do is 30 well calcu-
lated to make southern people think
their own original conduct wise and
right. Southern people, whether wise
Iy or unwisely, rightfully or wrong
fully, sauandered lives and fortunes
to secure a supposed boon of perfect
local freedom; these hyper-compound,
sublimated quintessenees Of Union
ism, the pimps Of Federal autocraey
in the South, find the measure OF
their patriotism in their greed for
power and gold. The rebel was at
least incorruptible, and certainly
scorned every consideration Of selfish
ness. There is greater criminalify In
the prevention by ku-klux acts OF the
restoration of unity and brotherhood,
than in the effort by open, honest war
fare to discover q political union. A
true Union man should detest Grant
infinitely more than he does the i'm
personation of original southern seces-
sionism.

THE GANG.

Near Scufietown in Rutherford
county, North Carolina, is a swamp,
the aboding place of Henry Berry
LoWry's freeboOters. Lowry is a mu-
Iatto, and his followers fit adherents
Of this modern Nat Turner. They are
well armed and skilled in the use Of
rifles. For four years past they have
robbed and murdered adj G6aum.
They make forays into the country
and villages of their district, AID
levy contributions at will upon
the frightened population. Having
supported Holden and Poole in all
political contests, they have never
been assailed by Federal Dr. State
forces. Their victims have been uni
f0rmly the partizan enemies Of the
administration, and Of course the Ku-
klux law was not designed to be en-
forced against this bandit and free
booter Lowry. The people, unaided,
have sought in vain to exterminate
this lawless band, but have ever
found pursuit difficult and cap
ture impossible. Within the past
year they have murdered many
men and women and such is the
frightful effect Of the misdeeds of the
terrible gang that the people are aban-
doning their homes and leaving the
country at the mercy OF the lawless
desperadoes. All these facts are en-
bodied In the forthcoming report Of
the Congressional Ku-klux commit
tee. This report, when originally or
dered to be made, was designed
10 be the most useful possible
oamapaign document in the pro-
Of Grants reelection,
but its publication, because of many
of this character which it con-
aims, may be indefinitely postponed.
Grant has burdens enough to bear as
developed by investigations progress
in New York without reference to
he misdeeds of his agents and ap-
1Ointees in the South, the BullOcks,
Jlsytons, WarmOuths, Caseys, Hold
ms and an endless catalogue of lesser
lights in this pandemonium.

RUSSIA WANTS A

An article in another column, au.
thOratively published in the official
organ of the Russian government at
st. Petersburg, will have interest for
our readers, who just now are proper
ly DESTROYS of being thoroughly in
formed upon the past, present and
future Of the great empire over which
the father of Alexis reigns, the most
peacefully disposed and one of the
wisest mOnarchs Russia has ever had.
This article is q plea for peace. The
remarkable advance Russia has
made since the close Of the Crimean.
war has taught her governors and
rulers, as well as her people, that in
the ''steady requirement of wealth by
the subjec t." lies the growth and
greatness Of natiOnalities. War dis
tu'bs, destroys and retards; peace de-
velOps, preserves and advances. Rus
STA needs peace. She desires to devel-
op her railroad and telegraph system,
to people her western territory and
and subject her mixed populations
to the training Of civilization, to
agglOmerate masses to the new Russi-
an nationality and presenttO the world
an empire thoroughly Russian in
language, literature and laws, having
a duty to perform in connection with
the other nations of the earth, but
performing it in her own way and I'M
der the stimulus Of a system of gov
ernment that may be termed a relax
ing despotism. To accomplish her
part in this work of civilization, Rus
sia needs peace, she asks and de-
maDds peace, but is prepared for
war a the best guarantee of that
peace. The article referred to, be-
'ides developing, Russias "hand,"
8 also interesting as a complete re-
3ume OF the situation in Eastern Eu-
'ope, particularly in Hungary and
Austria.

GENERAL GARFIELD, as chairman
of the committee on appropriations,
made the startling statement to the
house, a few days ago, on the authori-
ty of the commissioner of pensions,
that one-fourth of the total amount
paid to pensioners goes to persons
who have got their names upon the
pension rolls by fraud, and who have
no right to be there at all. 1t appears
that there is a system of preparing
fictitious evidence of disability, by
claim agents, that has succeeded to
the enormous extent stated, so that
the treasury is annually depleted Of
about $1,000, 600, for the benefit Of

THE presence of the Grand Duke
Alexis has not in the least interfered
with the proposed celebration Of
Mardi Grss. The committees in
charge of the arrangements are work
ing in~dustriously, and progress, very
hattering for a grand success, has been
reported. One thing, we will suggest,
must be attended to, and that is that
committees be stationed at each Of the
ball rooms for the purpose of seeing
and knowing all the maskers. If this
be not done, respectable people will
not shsrein that part OF the festivities,
and we may expect a repetition of
the scenes that recently disgraeed st.
and at one time New York.
VIII the committee speak and satisfy
on this point?

ANECDOTE o WIGFALL.

A Texas correspondent sends Har-
per's the following, saying it has not
appeared in print. Mr.. Louis T. Wig
fall, one of the leading secessionists of
Texas and the South, felt, after Lees
surrender, somewhat embarrassed as
to his corporal safety in a land then
in possession of his enemies. He left
Richmond in disguise, and travelled
on muleback, alone, for Texas. Dick
Taylor had also surrendered, and all
the ferries and crossings were in the
hands OF the Federal forces. Wigfall
could pursue no other course but to
risk himself to be put across the Mis-
sissippi by a detachment of Union
soldiers. He was well disguised. OBJ
serving that no allusion was made TO
himself, and wishing to know, If pos
how the wind blew, he began a
general TRADE against the leading
COnfederates, winding up by inquir-
ing what would be done with that
scamp Wigfall if they should catch
him. The soldiers replied, they sup
posed they would hang him. ayes,
they would do exactly right, and l
would pull at one end of the ropep'
Wigiall, mounting his mule
and trOtting of westward.

PRACTICAL AND RELIGIOUS DODGRH
OF John CHINAMAH.

VI aOHN
The dexterity OF the Heather Chi
g is not illustrated alone at the card
table. England enforced a monopoly
OF the opium trade at a cost of S25,-
100000 and then made the Chinese
not only take the opium but pay the
cost o. the war. England thought
that China paid the bill when Johnny
Bull pocketed the cash, but the Hea-
then Chinee did no such thing. An
export duty was levied on tea and the
cost Of the opium war was soon col
lected from the British and
other outside bsrbarians. When
we know the Chinese as they
are, we will find that they are
ahead Of Vi in many things.
They are skillful, as We have seen,
in ali matters of tariffs and customs, as
the Old Heather Of the Tribune. They
walled themselves in with stone as he
would America with Chinese tariff
codes, more costly and more ruinOus,
Their religion is that Of Greeley, who.
in simple alteration of the god of ma
ture, became a devotee at the shrine
of agriculture and wrote a book dedi-
Gated this, his JOSH We are told
that the forms OF worship and theo-
logical theories Of the Chinese are
much the asu e with those of the
Hebrews Of old, and that the cere-
monies incident to the practical
illustration of their faith are very like
those practised in Catholic churches
and Jewish synsgOgues. They set up
images, thejOss, subscribing the same
purposes as pictures and images and
the crueifx. They burn tapers and
censers and sandal-WOOd, and wear
priestly vestments, and have attend

the figures they seemingly worship
being only designed to direct their
thoughts to the God Of the universe
whose witness and prophet on earth
was ealledsC onfucius. Their msxims
in morals are those defined bv
our Saviour, and they assert that
the creed of the Jews and of Christ
and His apostles vas derived from
their great philosopher, who lived
many centuries before Christ. A
learned Ohinaman has said that the
statement in our Scriptures that "wise
men from the East" visited the Sa-
viouT and instructed Him is doubtless
true. They inter this from the SINH (

and the consequence was glorious harvest for
the spectators in implements for the destruction
Of the human race. They pltted one Commission
against the other, and obtained fabulous prices :;
for instance, there was number of Parrot guns
offered 10 the Commission Of Armament for
360OOf.. and refused by that Commission at that
price, which were taken to the Commission for
the Study Of the Means Of Defense, and sold for
I5,000f. The curious feature in this case is, that
the Commission that gave the 75,OOOf. was
aware that another Commission had refused the
same articles for half that price, and not only
that, but that Nj. Gambetta, who finally signed
the contract himself, also knew it, and was per
suaded into signing it by certain DR.. Naquet,
who was the secretary Of the Commission. The
question now which agtates peoples minds in
regard to this and several other similar contracts,
which DR.. Naquet seems TO have been the means
of getting accepted, occasionally including most
uniavorabe conditions, is, why did DR.. Naquet
do it? This question the Commission has not
yet decided finally, but we are promised some
further investigations and revelations in regard
to these transactions, which are likely to prove
edifying and instructive.
There were four more executions two days ago
at Satory, and numbers Of arrests are daily being
made of persons who were implicated during the
Commune. As the " liquidation of the old Ma
tiOnal Guard proceeds, and every man on the list
has to be accounted for, the names of prominent
men in the bad battalions who have not yet been
caught are constantly turning up, and the unfOr-
tunate victim who has been living unsuspectingly
for the last year in Belleville or Montmartre,
finds himself suddenly arrested and imprisoned
for taking part in events which occurred fifteen
months ago. He may, however, console himself |
by the reflection that he has, during all that time,
escaped the poatoHs.
1t seems that the Prefect of Marseilles has
finally prohibited Ra5agas from being acted there
at allan act Of arbitrary authority which the
Radical papers all highly applaud and consider to
be a triumph of Republican principles.

An ABNoRNAL APPETITE. = The following
story of an abnormal appetite is vouched for by
a Paris correspondent NJ Geoffroy St. Hilaire,
the well-known Director Of the Jardin d 'Acclma-
ton, noticed that the small birds were rapidly
and mysteriOusly disappearing. After some
days watch, it was found that a little negro who
took care of the cames, was the culprit- He
was caught in the act Of eating fine, rose
colored crane. 1t was alive and uttering bideous
cries, which apparently only increased the zest
with which the young monster bit into his raw
and bleeding back. He confessed to having
stolen and devoured other missing birds. A
sound whipping did not seem to do him much
good, for he was found three hours afterwards
engaged IN furious battle with the seal, which
he probably intended to kill and eat. Hewas at
once put in close confinement.
