The New Jersey Legislature recently I granted a charter to a company authorizing it I to construct a three-foot track lrom Jersey City to Suffern?, a point about thirty miles I west on the Erle Road. The lranchise ls io ?he hande of gentlemen of enterprise andi capital, and, as the new route runs through a thickly-settled and desirable section, where I . passenger travel will be very considerable, j there is a prospect that the experiment will I be fairly tested under favorable circumstances, j -The North German Gazette, while lt re- j peats its denial of the alarming statements I lately published In London In regard to the I relations between France and Germany, yet adds that an unpleasant feeling had been caused throughout the Empire by the speech of M. Thiers at the time ol the adjournment of the Assembly, lt speaks also Oft he character of th? French war budget, and Intimates that lt I soggestB caution on the part of Germany, and concludes, that if the relations between the two countries were more favorable the occu-1 patlon of French territory by German troops I would not be BO prolonged. -The Minister ol Public Worship has given formal Dot Ice to the Bishop of Er mel and that, I as sentences of excommunication against Ger- j man subjects clash with the civil law, and af- j feet unfavorably the social status, therefore I the consent of the government mutt be ob-1 ; talned before such sentences are pronounced. I ' Tho minister Insists on obedience to the L.<va j as a duty incumbent on ail, and Intimates that j failure in that duty on the part of tbe bishop I will lead to the withdrawal by the government of its official recognition of his ecclesiastical functions. The Bishop of Ermeland answers apologetically, affirming that civil honor la In j no way affected by excommunication. I -The State of Virginia has thousands of acres of land which have gone untaxed since 1865 because the assessors could find no owner; and, strange to say, no claimant. The registrar of the land office ls now selling these farms, giving tax titles therefor, but j with? a provision entirely invalidating them j if. the real owner turns up within a reasona? ble nnmber of years. Of coarse the buyers 11 ran consider? Me risk, but, on the other hand, I , ' the land ls sold for one dollar an acre. Last I, year twenty thousand acres were thus die-1, posed QI, and lt said that only one owner bas I . 'appeared for any part of the land so obtain-11 ed, and that his propel ty contained less than oue hundred and fifty acres. * -The movement of the St. Louis bar in favor of wearing black silk gowns in court j meets with favor in other parts of the coan try. The Law Journal says : "We do not ad- j vocate a return of the costume of English I j Judges and barristers of the middle ages-to 1? - wigs, coifs, saps, bands aad collars, or even I ' ' to green, red, blue or purple bags, for these, I . particularly all but the bags, would not be-1, come a dignified and learned profession ia a I scientific and intellectual period. But exton-11 sive use ol the robe and the gown we believe, I ' would add lustre, distinction and gravity to I the bench and the bar, and would be an in centlve to all wearers of these professional Insignia to render themselves worthy ol the distinction. -Misa Grundy, the newspaper correspon? dent, photographs Mrs. Mason as she appeared in the committee-room at Washington with all the nicety of detail that women are so food of displaying towards each other. The commit? tee-men were all smoking, which was both un? gallant and pernicious, and Mrs. Mason was the target for smoke and questions both. She stood lt-like a man-In a black ellk ault trimmed with feather, a pretty white irill around her throat, a pale pink rose In her hair, andcrlmpB and curls In prolusion. Such a costume would naturally inspire fori.tude and good nature; but she lost her temper just once, aod replied so tartly that the questioner suddenly went out to take spiritual refresh? ment, aod disturbed her equanimity no more. He black eyes actually struck fire, but it was over la a second, and the plumage remallad . unruffled to the close. -Hon. Wm. McDougal, in a receut lecture at Hamilton, Canada, upon the relations be? tween Great Britain and Canada, said that after consultation with high parties In England, he had been forced to the conclusion that the policy was cot to abandon the Colo? nies, nor to act so as to drive them away from their allegiance, but to prepare them for maintaining their own position by means or their own right hands, and make them consci? ous that if attack was levelled against them they most depend mainly, If not altogether, upon their own resources to resist it-falling in Which, they must be prepared to accept the > consequences, whatever they might be, which followed invasion aod conquest. Speaking for himself, and speaking freely, frankly and truthfully, he was of the opinion that "the anion of these provinces was the preliminary step for the establishment of a regular sys? tem of government ia British America which would enable us, when the moment arrived When necessity pressed upon as-to maintain separate and Independent existence among the nations cf the earth." -The strike of the Warwickshire agricul? tural laborers seems to have had reasoo lor it, if they are DO better off than their Essex bro toar, who tells his story in the Dally Tele? graph. For fifteen yearBthls honeBt fellow has worked for the same master ten hours dally, at the munificent wage? ol eighteen pence a day. On this he has had to support himself, a wife and three children. The wife's labor adds to these scanty resaurces two shil? lings, an?* one of the children earns two pence more a week. For his cottage he pays four pounds per annum. Naturally, poor Hodge's fare on this Income has not been pre? cisely luxurious. For breakfast, he haB generally a bread and water mess, "and if we have it, a cold potato." His dinner "is a bolled dumpling, with potatoes and on? ions in it," and he is iain to make his supper on a cup ol tea, a bit of bread, u a tiny bit of cheese, (If we have lt,)ar 1 for artreat, an on-, lon." He can never "get bc.f or mutton, but sometimes a pig's 'pluck'-say six times a year." What would an American farm-hand think of having to lire himself, an i tobring up a family on "bolled dumplings, with pota? toes and onions ?" Or ls it any wonder that the majority of the men at the Warwickshire meetings are described as being stunted-look? ing, and with small limbs and shrunken mus? cles ? Labor nourished on dumplings, one would think, could not be of a very sturdy sort._ President Grant and Ku-Klnxlsm. The electioneering document, in the shape ol a special message upon the subject of the Ku-Klux, submitted to Congress by Pres? ident Grant, may fairly be taken as a deliber? ate expression of the determination of the the administration to persevere in the policy which hos brought distress upon innocent tkonsands, and keeps a prosperous and peaceful section of Sooth Carolina under the heel of the Federal soldiery. It mast not be assumed, however, that President Grant has any particular spite against thia State, or against the South. The persecution ol South Carolina answers his purpose, and is expected to strengthen bis chances of re? election. Casting his eyes over the field, he saw that political capital might be made more easily in this State than in any other State of the North or South. And, when? ever he believes that it will be profitable to him to treat Georgia or Ohio, New York or Virginia, as he has treated South Carolina, the attempt will be made to reduce them, also, to a condition of military subjection. The excuse there caa be made as great as the exenae in South Carolina. A man who, as President of a great people, will place nine counties coder martial law because be has been told that a wide-spread conspiracy exists there, is capable of placing New York nader martial law because the people re? fuse to be plandered any longer by Ute Leets, Stockings and Murphys, who are bis dear Meads and ohoseo representatives. This is the warning which President Grant now gives to ali who dare to cross his pith, and the full meaning of his last pronunciamento will not be veiled from the keen vision of the patriotic mea who shall sooa assemble ia Convention ia the great City of the West. President Grant says that be was informed that a condition of "lawlessness and terror" existed in certain portions of Sooth Caro? lina, aad that be requested Attorney-Gen? eral Akerman to visit the State and report to him apon the subject That, report was made in October, 1871; aod, as President Grant forgets to say, the proclamation sus? pending the writ of habeas corpus ia nine counties was instantly Issued. There was no inquiry Into the troth of the representations made by Mr. Akerman. Upon his bare statement, the proclamar iou was issued; with so indecent a haste that a county which had not been accused was included in the list. A "clerical error" was allowed to place a whole community at the mercy of the Federal soldiers, and their disreputable assistants. At the time that the proclama? tion was issued every county Included ia the denunciation waa profoundly peaceful. There had been isolated acts of violence, bat they were not continued. The excitement I of the elections had died away, and there ?vas no thought of organized resistance to anybody or anything. It is a farcical ab? surdity to say that, in October, 1871, a com bination existed embracing at least two thirds of the active white men in nine coun? ties; their object being to prevent "the free "actions of citizens who were friendly to "the Constitution and the Government of ?the United States." There was an organ? ization, it appears, in the upper part of the State, bat its object was the protection of its members against the incendiary acts and brutal violence of the Scott militiamen. There was no hope of redress in the State Coarte, and the people banded themselves together to punish crime, and guard them? selves from the attacks of the negro militia. No proof has yet been given that the Ku Klux Klan, os it is called, did, as a body, attempt to prevent any class of citizens from doing any lawful thing. There were members of the organization-witnesses whom the government pats on the stand everyday-who committed murder; but the organization is not responsible for the con? duct of its individual members. When a Mason or an Odd Fellow robs or slays, do we charge every brother of the order with being aa accomplice ia the crime ? But President Grant does not content himself with general misrepresentation ; he soon comes down to details. He has "no doubt" that similar or? ganizations exist ia other counties, and has "no doubt" that they are a part of a grand system of "criminal associations pervading "most of the Southern States." Fortunate? ly the bare word of President* Grant has verylitUe weight in the country; although, unfortunately for ua, Congress has clothed him with almost dictatorial powers. He can arrest citizens of South Carolina by the hundred, and lodge them in jail until it suits his officers to try and convict them ; but he and all his armies cannot persuade the peo? ple of the United States that a majority of the white citizens of South Carolina are members of an organization ia which they are bound by oaths which "they are :aught "to regard as of higher obligation than the "lawful oaths taken before civil magis "trates." They may call U3 Hebels, but they know we are not perjurers. The assertions made by President Grant in regard to the number of outrages com? mitted in South Carolina are gross exagge? rations. From one end to the other the State has been investigated. The deputy marshals and Major Merrili's subordinates have ridden over every mile ol the so-called Ku-Klux district They pretend to know of every unlawful act which haj been com? mitted. Tet President Grant has nothing better than bis___ word to give in support of the monstrJMstatement that "the in m t -5-i -LL "Stances of criminal violence" coala be "reckoned by thousands." Tie Ku-Rlnx trial3 ia.Columbia and in Charleston furnish no proof of the correctness of each a charge. President Grant has made a statement which neither be nor his satraps can sustain. As much may be said of his recapitulation of the objects of the "illegal combinations "popularly known as the Ku-Klux Klan." Tbe constitution of the order, as read and sworn to over and over again, both in Co? lumbia and in this city, shows plainly and distinctly that it was not its purpose to de? prive the colored citizens of the right to bear arms and of the ballot, or to suppress colored scbosls and reduce the colored people "to a condition closely akin to tbat "of slavery." Long before the visit of At? torney-General Akerman to Sooth Carolina, the white citizens of the State had recog? nized, in tbe amplest manner, the changes in the State and Federal Constitution. In the canvass which ended in October, 1870, the whites and the blacks sate in the same committee rooms, attended the same meet? ings, spoke from the same platforms, and were voted for on the same ballots. A con? vention of the conservative people of the State had declared their acquiescence in the civil and political equality of all classes of citizens, irrespective of race, color or pre? vious condition. And yet President Grant would have na believe that twelve months later the majority of the white people, as an organization, were engaged in an endeavor to accomplish the impossible-that is, to re? duce the blacks to "a condition closely akin "to that of slavery." The loose, statements of President Grant will not pass unchallenged. They will be scrutinized in the House of Representatives, where they have already been declared to be untrue. And this we der-'.re, not so much I for our own sake as for the good of the j country. The cup of our bitterness is full. I No worse humiliation can be devised than j that which has already been borne. The in J geonity of President Grant's advisers cannot inflict npon South Carolina a burden more j grievous thif? that which she now endures, j It ls true that hundreds of our citizens may I be convicted, tried and sentenced to long I terms of imprisonment ; but no new measures I of iniquity will excite surprise. Every ves I tige of protection has been torn away. I With folded hands we await the result. But I there are States which the spoilers have not I reached; there are millions of good citizens j who crave a return of peace and a roBtdra I tion of fraternal feeling. To them we say j that, as it bas been meted to ns, it will be I meted to them, if the dictatorial authority I of the President and the usurped powers of Congress be not taken away at the polls. I To them we say that it is impossible for the wbite men of tbe Soutb to respect "the I "old flag" and love the Union while the Federal soldiers are the instrumente of I tyranny, while the United States laws are I the symbols of oppression, while in the j United States Courts it is shown that no I wbite man has aoy personal or political j rights which the Federal officials are bound I to respect. All tbat we ask is the free gov? ernment guaranteed by the Constitution. I Give us tbat, treat us as American citizens, I not as slaves and dogs, and in fonr years' I time the whole country will be united in j thought and in purpose, and North and Soutb, I East and West, will work side by side, as I equal laborers, for. the maintenance of tbe liberties and tbe increase of the wealth and power of the Republic. j _jjgggjgfj Bitters. ! ~?W* ATM?SMER?^DIS^ASEST-THE ? air, without which no creature conld live, is the source of diseases of which militons di*.
