| Remarkable Disappearance.

One of the most singular phenome-
ma of the age is the abrupt manner in
| which the redoubtable Ku-Klux Klan
| folded their tents like the Arabs and
! silently stole away immediately after
| the Presidential election. - The mys-
terious disappearance of the ten tribes
| of Israel is scarcely a parallel to it,
for that great departure was heralded
by prophesy and succeeded by1isolici-
tude and inquiry. But the KurKlux
have completely gone and lett behind
them not even a sulphufOasl stencil,
nor so much of atrial as a fox-hound
could, follow Nothing remains of
them, indeed, but the thirteen bulky
volumes of reports and ties timony,
which, like children and other 1uxu-
ries, have to be paid for, and sundry
written but unuttered speeches of
members of Congress, which liestold-
ed away in desks, like bridal garments
never worn.
The formidable conspiracy which
Threatened the existence of mine States,
which banished the g loyal men of the
South by, the hundred thousand :"
which exhausted the energies of the
Departmental Justice, and occupied
a large part of the arm the United
States which, fired the Northern heart
once more, kept the Executive sleep
less with many cares, and Induced an
appalled, Congress to drive wagon

imagination. The troops which were
imperatively needed to defeat the
traitorous designs of 100000 rough

What does this mean? Can it by
any chance be possible that Presiden-

posterity is willing to accept for his
tory? Can we be expected to SYM
pathize with the gout of man who
not only declines to resort to treat
ment, but on being pressed closely
admits that he has wooden leg? If
the Presidential election and its ext
gencies should presently turn out to
be what the theolegians style "the

not be pertinent TO suppose that had
there been no Presidential election
the Ku-Klux Klan would never have
