nicpat authority. Positions and service
| on such boards or committees, and pro

1t is now thought the country has
beard the last of the Ku Klux. 1t
is nearly two years since q case Of
violence in the South has been
traced to that organized conspiracy
sgainst peace and good order.
Southern men believe the era of
good feeling may be fastened in
certain portions Of the South, by
Executive clemency being shown
towards Ku Klux conspirators now
confined in Northern prisons. We
doubt not the President win show
such clemency, when he is satisfied
such results will follow. "Let us
have peace" is the chief aim Of the
Administration.

Since the Herald published its
Holiday article, several Demo-
cratic journals have charged il with
having been bought. The Herald
retaliates on some of them, those
who have recently, like the Enter
prise at Oregon City, come out
with something new, and charges
that while it has maintained its in
tegrity to Democratic principles,
has refused to be manipulated by
. the sorehead Republican clique,
manipulated by Corbett & Co.,"
that these Others have been influence
ed by substantial inducements, and
hence their ability to come out in
new dresses, purchase new presses,
and 30 on. We are in favor of
maintaining peace in our own Re
publican family, but when Demo
cratic journals uegin to fall out and
slash each other, we believe in
cheering them on, striving to get
them SO hot that they will let all
the cats out Of the bag. We have
been wondering how somany Dem
ocratic organs could purchase new
outfits, right in the midst of such
unprecedented hard times, and il
this fight can only be continued
long enough, and intensified, we
doubt not the whole thing will
come out.

A story told lately Is Of wealthy
New York German and a Hartford
livery stable keeper, who was 10th 70
let his best rig to . stranger The
German was bound to have his ride,
and agreedtobuy tho horse and sleigh,
aud when he returned the stable keeper
might refund tho money. This was
done, and the team returned and tho
money refunded, when the German
started to 90. ''Hold on" said the
man Of horses, ''you have not paid
your horse hire" "Why, my dear
sir" said the New YUrker, coolly, II

We have been reading an article
lately on "Christian Statesmen"
which treats of the prevailing dis
position to scoff and sneer at Chris
tianity, because Of the shortcomings
of certain public men, who are al
lnded to as "Christian Statesmen. !"
This writer says, in substance, that
if gentlemen who have hitherto
borne the reputation Of being up
right public servants have failed
from the high standard fixed for
them by the public, the failure
should not be attributed to their
Christian principles, but to . lack
of them. If the charges against
them are true, then they were not
"Christain Statesmen" and the fling
at Christianity is out Of place. If
the charges are false, then neither
the man nor his principles deserve
censure. This writer more directly
and forcibly continues mo Christ
ian statesman has fallen. None
will fall. Men may wear the cloak
of heaven to serve the devil in, and
the keen eye Of the public may d.
tect the disguise and strip it from
the hypocrite, and turn him out to
receive the deserved scorn OF the
world. But these men were not
Christians; and to attach their vii
lainy to the church is as mean as it
is unjust"
