KUKLUx.

A VIGOROUS crusade has been COM
menced against the so-called kuklux IN
Kentucky. The Courier.Journal has
waped unceasing war against the
wretches, and the authorities. aided by
few resolute young men, have cap
tured the Todd county gang. Upon
the first demonstration against them
they fed, and when they could run no
longer they surrendered. They prove
to be mean, squalid and ignorant
wretches, having no other object IN
view than driving the negroes out OF
Kentucky to give poor whites chance.
Commenting on this exposure OF the
Kuklux which has been represented AS
a political organization, the New York
San says:
This result shows the character of
the men who perpetrate the occasional
acts of violence against negroes III other
Southern States, which are so exagger-
ated for political purposes. The great
mass of the respectable whites III the
South can always be expended upon to
protect the coloied man in the enjoy
ment of his rights, for they need his
labor, and it is for the best interests of
both races that friendly relations
should be maintained. And the worst
enemies of the colored race in the South
are the pestilent carpet hagSers and
scalawags who for political purposes
are continually endeavoring to create
dissensions between the freedmen and
the whites. to whom the most OF
negroes look for employment.

died of consumption, with which he
had long been sick. The body was pre-

appeared to be in perfect health, and
described his experience in language

NOT YET SATISFIED.

The reasons assigned by the S1LvEI
STATE for considering the completion
of the Sutro Tunnel necessity, are
not considered conclusive by the
Enterprise. 1t was not expected that
they would be, as its tone on the SUI
.iect warrants the belief that nothing
short Of the humiliation of Sutro. or at
least his Punishment from the State,
and the prosecution OF the tunnel by
the owners of the " crooked railroad,
would satisfy that journal. 1t now
asks: "In what way does the COM
pletion of the tunnel open new sur
face on The lead? And if hosting
machinery can be operated at depth
of two thousand feet when the tunnel
is finished, why can it not be ust as
well before it is finished2"
AS we understand it, at this distance
from the Comstock, the tunnel Is
designed to cut the ledge at right
angles with its course, two Thousand
feet below the groupings at Virginia
City. 1t will drain and ventilate all
the mines with which connection IS
made to that depth, and by doing so
opens what is considered equivalent to
new surface on the lead. This an
swers the first question OF the Enter
prise so plainly that it will be scarcely
necessary for the editor of that journal
10 consult miner as to its meaning.
To the second proposition our reply is
that there is no reason that we can
assign why heisting machinery cannot
be operated at depth of two thousand
feet below the surface, provided there
is drainage and ventilation at that
depth. Upon the completion OF the
tunnel, the machinery now used on
the surface can be transferred to the
tunnel level, to which drainage and
ventilation are insured. There is a
limit to the depth that can be attained
by machinery now in use, and when
that limit is reached from the surface on
the Comstock, the completion OF the
tunnel will enable it to be continued
two thousand feet deeper i'll the old
mining locations in the vicinity of
Virginia City.

THAT little job for the purchase Of
San Domingo, in which President
Grant figured copspicuously bids fair to
cost the United States few millions of
dollars. While Baez was President of
the Black Republic, and under the
immediate protection of the United
States, during the negotiations for the
purchase of the island, lie forced a
loan from the citizens, and now his
victims ask that this government make
good their losses. The argument of
the Dominican Government in support
of the claim recites all about Baez's
accession to power, his attempt to dis
pose of the country. and the lease of
SANTANA. 1t declares that he was
maintained in power by United States
troops, and was compelled to flee when
they ceased to support him; that while
occupying his Presidency, protected by
United States ships, he plundered the
treasury of q large portion of its
revenue, and ill-treatcd citizens. 1t
alludes to many other facts with re-
gard to the relations between the United
States and San Domingo, which have
occupied public attention during sew
eral wears, and declares that the acts of
the United States Government were in
violation of international law, and that
the Government is responsible for the
losses and injuries occasioned by its
protection Of Baez.

Surgeons were hurriedly brought, and
after difficult operation the several
arteries were tied and the cash sewed

had several times tried to speak, but
was unable to do so. After the sur

effort: "All fol-do-rol, doctors. Tried

He really had swallowed bits of glass.
