The Radicals have sent their strongest team,
Packard ct ais, and it is probable every possible
influence will be brought to bear to neutralize

domination undisturbed. That they feel there is
danger In the situation is evident by the extra

The Ku-KIux Bill.
The passage of the Civil Rights bill through
the House, and the threatened passage of The
Ku-Klux act, has had tendency to give some
alarm to those who participated in the late
troubles in this State and we think needlessy
So In the first place, should the bill become a
law, it cannot by its provisions punish person
for an act committed before its passage, for no
law can be retroactive under the Constitution.
1t can apply only to cases arising after its pro-
mulgation not before, and therefore it is that all
this uneasiness is without reasonable cause.
Down i'm n COaI Mine.
For fair sample of the Corsican Brothers give
us Lowell and Clinton-they love one smother
SO much. The amount Of pure, unaduterated
bro herly affection existing between these two
patriots is positively alarming, and calls up Da-
mon and somebody else.
Lowell is chairman committee to examine
into the books of ''poor Auditor Clinton" and
the susto with which he goes at the work is like
a cold bath on summers day. Rich develop
ments are expected from this mining in 80 rich
lode, and if peace is not patched no between
these two dukes, we shall have sweet morsels
for some time to come.
In the Tolls.
Piou' Clinton, the Auditor of State the holy
man whose creed con sists of religious horror
OF "rebel skunks," and a great veneration for
Charles Clinton, is In trouble, and the indications
are that his troubles will continue to multiply,
and relief there will be none. The faithful have
gone back on Clinton, and there is q determine
ton to show him he is not the '.little god" he
supposed himself to be. He has not run his
Office to the satisfaction Of certain members of
the Kellogg faction he has exacted too much and
given nothing in return.
He has exercised the power, which legislative
appropriation bills have given him, and has
used those members Of the Crowd who figured
as Representatives and Senators in the Legisla-
ture Of 1874, for his own purpose, and they have
wearied of this and grown revengeful, and
Clinton must suffer.
The appropriation bill for the expenses of the
crowd was the first move against him. He was
relieved Of the onerous duty Of seeing to the
payment Of the members, and the members were
relieved from the control that in the discharge of
this duty he had over them.
Then the committee to investigate his books,
of which Lowell, who don't love Clinton at all,
is chairman, went to work in earn
est, and Clinton's books are getting
such an oberhauling as they never had
before, and it is understood and believed that
the committee will report just what the books
show, and this, the general opinion is, will dam
age Clinton.
Whartons bill abolishing the fees and emolu
ments of the Office Of Auditor is in fair way to
pass, and Clinton's annual revenue will be de-
creased by fIom $4,000 to $4,000, and Clinton
will have to struggle along on a salary Of $4,000
agear, and the appro priation for incidental and
travelling expenses, amounting altogether to the
insignificant sum of not less than $4,000 Ger
tainly Clinton is in bad way.
kellogg's shoulder to the Wheel.
There have been many surmises as to whether
or not Kellogg had hand in the compromise
mavement, in an indirect way. 1t was well known
that in his hazardous position he would incline
to almost anything which would carry with it
peace toward his government, but that he had
| taken active part was not generally credited
From the many rumors current last night, and
too many of them having much foundation, it is
is now almost certain that he is moving all the
elements to bring about this adjustment
What he wants now is the adoption Of the
original proposition drawn up by Mr.. Frye and
offered to the Gibson, Young, Leonard Committee
in which Moncure was to be recognized as Treas
urer, Conservative majority in the House
assured, with amendment guaranteeing that
the usurpaton would not be disturbed by i'm
parchment Tor official acts.
1t is reported Pitt has even gone so far as to
invite some Conservative members to his house
for the purpose OF submitting his arguments in
in favor OF this proposition.
| II this be all true, we are Of the same opinion
we were when this subject was first bruited
and that is, that this man is most anxious to en-.
gineer the scheme through. His salvation de.
ponds upon weakness on our part, and without
| that he has no hope.
On Monday morning in the Conservative caucus
there will probably be motion made to re-oper
| negotiations, and an attempt made to hurry il
| through. We have, therefore, to again warn ou1
| representatives that this scheme is one too in
| famous for them to touch without becoming de
fled and that the people of the State are lookin,
to them to carry out the principles of the plat
form on which they were elected, and that wa
that Kellogg was usurper and trespasser.
CONCERT AT TEMPLE SINA.-There will b.
given at Temple Sinai on Monday evening,
Grand Sacred Concert in aid of the Hebrew Ed
