Judge William ID. Kelley, of Penn
sylvania, returned to-day from six
weeks tour in the south, and bears
most emphatic testimony against the
southern policy of his party in the last

he thought of the political condition of
the south, he used these words. 1.-THE
vote most regret during my fourteen
years service in congress is that which

He further said that as far as his OBJ
servation went during his extended
tour there was no more necessity for
the use of federal military force than
there is in Pennsylvania or Ohio. He
talked with confederate soldiers, with
northern men, carpetbaggers and tray
elers, and he was surprised at the
good feeling existing. He said he
should hereafter take little stock in
southern outrages, especially If they
are reported as occurring in the Sec
tons he visited.
He gave an example of the feeling
in the south, by relating what he saw
in Augusta, Ga, being himself I'M
known. lie happened to be in that
city on the day chosen for decorating
the graves of the confederate dead, and
he remained and observed closely the

An arrangement has been made be-
tween the leaders of the liberal party
in Belgium and Prince Bismarck. The
latter, by application of the diplomatic
pressure, undertakes to bringabout the
downfall of the clerical ministry. The
liberals then returning to power are to
make laws to suppress the publication
of views unfavoratle to the German
ecclesiastical policy. The liberals would
introduce compulsory military service,
and establish new Notifications. Con-
sequently, liberal Belgian papers sup

clerical government. This means the
Prussianizing of Belgium.
