1t is reported on apparently good authori-

Todd county, KY, has set most worthy
example to other portions of the state SINH
larly afflicted. She has not only shown what
public sentiment can accomplish when it
shakes off the lethargy of inaction, but she
has torn off the terrifying mask of the Ku-
klux and shown of what stuff these outlaws
are made. She has exhibited the Kuklux,
not as the terror-inspiring and daring brig
and who goes forth as reckless of his own
life as he is regardless of the rights of others,
but as mean, drty squalid. uncombed and
ignorant white wretch, who assassinates
peaceable and industrious black. men in order
''to give the poor white man chance. -

The Ohio Legislature is not making coed

corruption against its members. The IN

and as Tor the Pennsylvania Legislature, it
was simply a disgrace. The late wave"
gave the control of all three bodies to the
Democrats. The return wave is swelling.

and now that the General Government has
recognized Garland, and the trouble with

feud between BourDons and Wings is re-
vived. The Bourbons claim the right Of
absolute control, which the Wings refuse to
recognize.

THE Lewiston Journal is in a terrible
sweat-hasn't been so scared since the King
field rebellion. 1t is now oppressed with ter
rible anxiety lest jeff. Davis should be
elected to the United States Senate from
Mississippi. 1t cannot be on account of Da-
vis's participation in the rebellion that the
Journal objects, since it welcomed from the
same state Alcorn who was engaged in it
throughout. 1t must be that since the ad-
vent of the lordly Revels and the statesman
like Bruce it has become so enamored of
dusky senators that it can abide none but
long-heeled, thick-lipped. lousy niggers in
the senate from Mississippi. Wen, every one
to his taste; We must confess that we would
prefer to have Davis there-and we don't
think much of jeff, either.
A Thomaston correspondent clips the
above from the Rockland Opinion, and re-
marks that the senators from Mississippi to
whom that paper refers, are the peers of edl-
tors who can use such language respecting
cultivated men as ''lousy niggers," and
thinks if that paper considers color an OBJ
lection in an ofice-holder, above all other
considerations, it would be we'll enough to
make the point without adding the epithets
which are supposed to have gone out of use

parture.

The reader will see that in these ten con-
4 tracts there is q swindle of upward Of mill
ion of dollars. The names of several of the
contractors are perfectly well known in canal
circles. Number is James J. Belden and
Company, who hold such intimate relations
to Mr.. Page, whom Speaker Mcclure put at
the head of the Canal Committee. Number l
was held by Henry D. Denison, of Belden
and Company, which throws still further
light on Mr.. Pages Craftsmanship Of the Canal
Committee Number 10 is held by George D.
Lord, son of Senator Jarvis Lord, which
throws an interesting side light on his fierce
opposition to the Governor. Having given
these specimens we will not at present fol-
low the subject in greater detail, for we think
our readers will have no further difficulty in
understanding why the Message has created
such quaking hubbub in the Canal Ring
and so lively an excitement throughout the

this question which we have not space to
explain at present. The discussion in both
