Kuk.Klux in Iowa,

Now let the truly radical papers of the
north howl oyer the great outrage in radi-
cal Iowa. Had such thing been done In
the south the northern heart would be
fired with Indignation aud all the battles Of
the rebellion would be fought over again
in the Interest of the republican party.
A West Liberty correspondent of the Mus
catiue Tribune writes that paper concern
ing the alleged insult to lady by negro
as follows:
h'1t now comes to light that the young
lady spoken of in my last letter says that
the tramp who was SO brutally whipped on
her account yesterday did not insult her.
cor Say anything of bad character to her;
but as near as we can learn bis only offense
was in going along the same road and in
the same direction that the young lady
was. He also talked to her and offered to,
and did carry her baske. and books for
some distance and in the course of conver.
sation asked her if the road led through
any timber, and if she was afraid, etc
That is all and nothing more. At least
this is all we can learn so far. for which be
the tramp was arrested without warrant
and locked up in the calaboose without q
bearing He was not even identified By
the lady as the one that had been bel
travelling companion, He was released
without trial. and was afterwards caugh

wearing a red ribbon was not necessarily

was not the only, nor by any means the

HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, May IL. The following
bills passed:
Providing that any persons who shall
plant and maintain for eight years ten
acres of timber land shall be entitled to q
patent for such quarter section; permitting
Nebraska 20 cede certain territory to
Missouri; making it unlawful to cut any
timber on public lands.
MIR. Wright. from the Committee on
Public Lands, reported bill providing for
a loan of $500 to every person who shall
settle Oh the public lands under the
homestead law. the act to be IN operation
till $40, 900. 900 has been expended. The
bill was reported without recommendation
and referred to the Committee of the
Whole
Mr.. Reagan called up the bill to regulate
Interstate transportation by railroads and
to prohibit unjust Discrimination by COM
mon carriers.
MIR. Bragg made a speech against
the bill as not being what it purports to be
"a bill to restrict railroad monopolies. but
bill in the interest of railroads ard of
great railroad kings. as shown by the fact
that the Pennsylvania Legislature-Tom
Scott's Legislature-had instructed the
Representatives of that State to support
it. The bill was an absolute prohibition
against competition. It protected one
Grand Trunk line from another-Scott
from Garrett, and both from Van
derbilt, and being obliged to fight each
other, they would Join in consuming all
that the grasshoppers had left to the
farmers of the West.
Mr.. Phillips opposed the bill on the
ground that it's practical effect would be to
make it impossible for railroads to ship
freight over the great continuous lines,
and that it would thus cripple the
industries OF the country.
MIR. Potter also opposed the bill, and it
was then read by sections.
| A long debate followed, In which the
principal objection expressed against the
bill was that its meaning was buried away
10 such mass of verbiage as to make il
almost unintelliglble.
The House proceeded to vote on amend
ments.
MIR. Camsron offered an ameadmen,
prohibiting the pooling arrangements oi
railroad companies. Agreed to.
| Without disposing of the bill, on which,
| however. the previous question was
seconded, so as to keep il before the
House, the adjournment took place..

three weeks he labored to restore it to feeling but
all In vain, although ii was blistered dozen
times and various rubefacient Liniments appTied
consultation OF physicians was then held, but to
no purpose, the case was then brought before the
Meulcal society, but nothing could be suggested
winch had not already been done, and the doctor
