A PUZZLED DUTCHNAN MADE
GLAD.

A Dutchman once heard sermon
by preacher who did not believe in
immersion for baptism. In his dis.
course he attempted TO explain the
proposition "into," asserting that II
meant simply going down TO or nsar
the water, and being sprinkled. Al
the close ofthis very labored discourse,
the preacher gave an opportunity for
any present TO express their.thoughts
on the subject. The Dutchman &c.
cepted the invitation, and remarked
as follows:
"Mr. Breacher, ish 80 glad | wash

TO my mint something dat | never
could believe pefore. Oh, ish 80 glad
dat into does not mean into at all, but

A'PARALLEL.

The two Alexanders, be Of antiqui-
ty, styled the Great, and the modern,
the Gear of all the Russias, more than
two thousand years between them, and
yet the reader of history cannot fail to
draw a parallel between them. The
modern Alexander is now hurllng his
vast armies upon those classic battle
fields where the ancient Alexander
first won bis spurs as a warrior Now
they encamp upon the ancient battle
ground of Pbarsalia, where the Roman
Republic went down in blood, and the
"world was made for Cesar" and his
line. Curious enough we find the mod
ern Alexander after money and con-
quered realms. He prctends that he
must make war to find peace--to make
peace between tho Turks and his nDm-
inal Christian subjects. But it is the
peace Of death and dissolution. Well
could tho Bishop Of Warsaw, after its
nlrnvst tvtal rehabilitation, wsitv 10 the
Emperor, "peace reigns in Warsaw"
The ancient Alexander, after laying
waste nation after nation, turned his
arms northward, and encountered the
Scythian, reputed barbarous people,
and styled robbers. Heinvited embas.
sadors from them, and here is the
speech Of that fnnctionary when asked
by Alexander why he robbed 7 "Whatl
have we to do with theei We never
sat our feet In thy country? From
whence comest thou? Thou boastcst
that thy only design Is to extirpate
robbers. Thou thyself art the greatest
robber in the world" The captured
pirate also made the same defense,
compared his small kind of robbery as
modesty beside that OF the rJ.Jer of
the universe las thou art" II infest
the sea with a single ship; thou dost
take the generous liberty Of doing so
with great fleets. am denounced as
robber, and thou dost clam TO be a
great conqueror because thou dost af-
flict mankind so much more"
If the modern Alexander is inclined
10 read the annals Of that wonderful
region--the object Of his fond aim to
posse.s - and happens to find the
plain talk of the robber, on a small
scale, to his phototypc and namesake,
what would be his convictions in the
face Of facts ? But after all he may be
but factor in accomplishing the des-
tiny Of the false prophet whose time
according to the Interpretation usually
put upon the divine revelation, is about
fulfilled. Every great change or revo.
luton, in all ages Of the world, has had
to wade through blood. Good may re-
suit In the end, and be the means of
spreading purer faith over all that
blood saturated land. So may it be.--

A POLICY OF PROPAGATION.

Prominent among the stories which
have formed the bulk of this evidence,
is that which portrays the manner in
which most Of the Kn-Klux raids were
gotten up and the reasons which ex-
listed for the charges Of rebellion and
insurrection. against the government
on the part OF Democratic citizens TO
be made. Much of this testimony af.
fecting this branch Of the inquiry has
become known, owing TO the witnesses
rehearsing to listening groups the sub
stance Of what they have said before
the committee, and II now turns ont
that whenever fherc was dearth in
the "outrage" and "bloody shirt" bu.

indulged in by their "wards" for the

THE POLICY OF pRovocArloS.

To hs EdifO, Of The Bsrald.-
At some early day no doubt the his
tory Of reconstruction IN South Caro-.
liba will be written. The story OF the
wrongs and injuries inflicted on that
unhappy State will be told ut length,
md il IL more than probable that tbc
real truth will be hidden in the at.
tempt 10 gloss over and excuse the
innlts Of some OF those who occupied
pI ointment positions in the State gov-
ernmeDt and TO throw on the shoul-
ders Of Others the sole responsibility
Tor all the evils in which they only
shared. This, To very great extent,
has been done already. For several
years past have been singled out as
the man who, above all others, is dc.
serving Of the reprobation which al.
ways attends on tho prostitution OF a
worthy cause TO the attainment OF the
most ignoble ends. Conscious, as |
am, that | can prove the falsty of the
charge Of my having been the princi.
pal in the many schemes of plunder
which exhausted the revenues OF the
State, and knowing where and for
what the responsibility for each illegal
act should properly be made to rest,
propose myself TO become the historian
of reconstruction ia South Carolina,
and in so doing TO assume and ae-
knowledge the responsibility for all
faults and errors which | have com.
mlltcd in that State, and to hold all
others to an equal responsibility for
those Of which they have been guilty.
All must suffer together in the opinion
Of the world. Justice must be done
to those citizens of South Carolina
who were robbed and plundered Of
their substance under the guisc OF y
Republican State government, and
from whose hand can the acknowledge
ment more properly come Of the inju-
ries inflicted upon them from him who,
having been born and reared in their
midst, foolishly and weakly loaned
himself to the preparation Of injuries
upon them from which, for years and
years, they cannot recover2
In the history which | propose to
contribute TO your columns l will be

tional Convention in 1868, and end
with the ACCESSION to power OF Gov.

treat Of the days Of Ku-Kluxism, and
which reveal, TO very small extent,
