The Pren aa til? President's Ka Klmx
Message.
The Washington Palriol calls it an
"incendiary message," and declares that
no stretch of charity can bring it (the
Patriot) to suppose that, for hts terrible
oharge against "some of the States," our
Chief Magistrate bas any evidence that
he himself believes in. "He avers, as
President, a baseless fabric of Action,
and asks Congress to give color to his
projeoted usurpation."
The New York Tribune justifies tho
message, while, at the same time, it says:
"Practically, this message will prove an
appeal to arms." It speaks of "crusbiug
the new rebellion," [where is it?] and
adds:
"The effect of this message on tbe
country will be far more exciting, we
imagine, tban either its writer or Con?
gress contemplates. It is n recognition
of tbe great strength of the Ku Klux
organization, wbi;h many persousat the
North have, heretofore, regarded with
indifference."
That very indifference, justified by the
true facts in the case, was the grievance
with the Republican politicians at Wash?
ington, and, henoe, they induced the
Pr?sident to take the indiscreet step that
he did.
Tho New York Herald talks about law?
less doings, more particularly in connec?
tion with the collection of internal reve?
nue ia certain parts of some Southern
Staten, (as if there had not been like
difficulties in Northern States,) and says,
ajpprovingly, of the message:
"The legislation hinted at ?B something
in the shape of tbe law of Washington's
time for the suppression of the Pennsyl?
vania whiskey insurrection. We sup?
pose, too, that some each bill as that
proposed by Senator Pomeroy will be
paused, authorizing the President, in
any district where he may deem it neces?
sary, to suspend the habeas corpus, to
declare martial law, and to employ the
army and navy against the lawless bands
indicated.
"Beyond this legislation General
Grant has nothing to recommend as ne?
cessary at tbe present session. In other
words, he suggests no legislation at pre?
sent on the tariff or the internal revenue
-the very subjects upon which the
whole people are most deeply interest?
ed."
The New York Times says of the mes?
sage and its reference to a committeo of
nine iu the House:
"The committee will, without doubt,
report a bill which will secure the united
support of the Republican party. The
time which has been consumed in debate
on this question is not lost. Opinions
have been exohanged, and the temper of
Congress ascertained. It bas been diffi?
cult to convince some members that any
legislation was needed, while others
could not make up their minds as to the
kind of legislation required. The mes?
sage of the President clears away the
fog, and indicates with precisiou the
duty of Congress."
AH the message does not pretend to
give any facts that Congress was not be?
fore in possession of, it is difficult tn seo
how it "clears away the fog."
The New York World says:
"We may look for excited discussions
in both Houses, and tho object of the
Rad oals ?ill be attained if by convulsing
Congress they uau awaken iu the country
the bitterness of the punt, aad thus give
the party a little louger lease of life.
Under the fresh impetus given to the
Ku Klux sensation by tho action of the
House, several outrageous bills were in?
troduced in the Senate. lu most re?
spects they reviv?! tho most odious fea?
tures of tho Butler bill. We presume
they will not pass in the shape they have
been presented. To suppose othetwise
would be to concede the failure of our
Republican form of Government."
ARHIVAIJ AND DEPARTURE OF THK SAN
DOMINGO COMMISSION Kita.-Charleston
was honored, for an hour or so, yester?
day, with a party whose movements
have, of late, occupied muoh of the at?
tention of the American people. The
San Domingo Commissioners, Messrs.

nessee, from Key West, and, having
engaged the pilot boat Pride to bring

The party left for Washington by the

AfTa 1 r? In Europe.
The New York World says of th? de
j plorable Been es now being enacted in
Paris and their Authors: It it impossible
to over-estimate the importance of the
events whioh are transpiring in Paris.
The entire revolutionary movement is
controlled by the Bed Republicans, and
is directed against M. Thiers and the
National Assembly. If the views and
doctrines of the Paris radicals are what
the insurgents aim to make paramount,
then tho object is to establish a socialistic
republic, and to resuscitate in Franco all
the grotesque and demoralising princi?
ples of tho first republic-principles
whioh have sapped tho morals of the
French people, nnd given to Paris the
unenviable notoriety of a city ;n which
twenty-five per cent, of the children
born yearly are illegitimate. We trans?
late a copy of the "Red" bill posted on
the walls of Paris on March 6, and held
to have been a preface to the scones of
disorder now acted in th? French Me?
tropolis:
FRENCH REPUBLIC-LIBKBTY, EQUALITY;,
FBATEBNITY-CENTAL COMMITTEE OF THE
NATION&ii GUARD.-The Central Com?
mittee of the National Guard, appointed
in a general assembly of delegates, rep?
resenting upward of 200 battalions, has
for its mission the constitution of the
Bepublican Federation of the National
Guard, that it may be organized so as to
protect moro effectually than the perma?
nent armies have thus far been able to
do, the country, and to defend, by all
possible means, tho threatened Repub?
lic.
Thc Contral Commit leo is not an
anonymous body; it is an assembly of
bearers of mandates of free men, who
know their duty, affirm their rights and
seek to establish a solidarity between all
members of the National Guard.
It protests, therefore, against all im?
putations tending to misrepresent the
expression of its programme, with a view
of hindering its execution. Its acts
have always been signed; they have had
but one object-the defence of Paris.
It rejects with scorn the calumnies in?
tended to tax it with exciting to a pil?
lage of arms and ammunition, and to
civil war.
The expiration of the armistice, con?
cerning the prolongation of whioh tho
Journal Officiel, of February 26, has
maintained silence, had generated tho
legitimate emotion of all Paris. The re
nowal of hostilities was, in effect, inva?
sion, occupation and all the calamities to
which conquered cities are subject.
Hence, the patriotic fever whioh, in
ono night, aroused and placed under
arms the whole National Guard, was not
due to the influence of a provisional
commission appointed for the elabora?
tion ef political statutes; it was the true
expression of the sentiment of the popu?
lation.
When theconvention relating to the oc?
cupation became officially known, the
Central Committee, by a declaration
posted throughout Paris, called upon the
citizens to insure, by their energetic co?
operation, the strict exeoution of that
convention.
To the National Guard revorted the
right and the duty to protect, to defend
our menaced fire-sides. Rising with en?
tire spontaneity, the Guard alone, by its
attitude, has known how to make the
Prussian occupation a humiliation to the
conqueror. Vive la Republique!

THE EMPEROR WILLIAM'S SPEECH
FROM THE THRONE-OPENING OF THE
( 1 HUMAN PABIIIAMENT.-The German
Parliament was opened, on tbo 21st in?
stant, by the Emperor William, who, in
person, delivered the speech from the
throne. The Emperor said:
When I seo the German Roichstag for
the first time, after the glorious but try?
ing struggle which Germany has victori?
ously prosecuted for independence, I am
impelled, first, to give thanks to God for
the historic successes with whioh He has
blessed the faithful unity of the German
allies, the heroism and disciplino of the
armies, and the devotion of the people.
We have what our forefathers struggled
for-the unity of Germany and the se?
curity of her frontiers. Our conviction
of future unity was veiled; the ever
present enthusissm of the people rent the
voil. When the fatherland was threat?
ened, the nation unanimously rose in he;
defence sud traced its firm will, in indeli?
ble characters, on the battle-fields ol
France, to remain a united people,
The spirit animating Germany per?
vades her culturo and morals, and the
constitution of her armies guards the
abuse of acquired power. Independent
Germany respects the independence ol
oth ero. This flory ordeal of war througb
which we have passed is a reliable gua?
rantee of European peace. Powerful
and self-reliant Germany now bequeath!
to you the regulation of her own affaire
as a satisfactory heritage. To the espe
oiul gratification of Germany, the confer
ecce at London, in a peaceful spirit, hat
achieved the work of conciliation. It ic
now the task of the Reichstag to heal
wounds and to COL finn the thauku of thc
fatherland to thoso wbo have paid foi
victory with their blood and lives. Lei
thu Reichstag co-operate with the govern?
ment in tho constitutional mission ol
perfecting laws for the welfare of thc
people. Tho constitutional arrange
ments contemplated by the government
involve the provisions of tho separate
treaties made iu November with thi
Southorn States, which Will receive, iu t
now Act to bo submitted to the Reich
slag, a better confirmation nnd a more
harmonious rendering.
The amount to be contributed by each
8tate toward tho current expenses ot the
Empire demands legal settlement, and
sanotiot? ie to be given to the separata
laws for Bavaria, which trill be intro?
duced. The war indemnity will be dis?
posed with your approval in conformity
with the requirements of the Empire.
The just claim of the Empire on ac?
count of the expenses of the war, will bo
laid before you as soon as possible.
The position of the recovered territo?
ries renders necessary special legislation,
which will bc speedily brought to your
attention.
Pensions for tho soldiers aud support
for the widows aud orphans of the war,
are to be provided for; and tho measures
to these ends should bo rando to apply to
the whole Empire; for all fought with
equal devotion, and deserve equal honor
and reward.
May the re-eatnblishmcnt of thu Ger?
man Empire bo a promise of futuro
greatness! May tho war fought so glo?
riously be followed by au equally glo?
rious pouce, and our people ti eu ce for th
prove victorious in the universal strug?
gle for the fruits of peace.
INVESTIGATION, IF FAIB, DFSIUABLE.
The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle and Sentinel
says:
"The South baa nothing to fear from
an investigating committeo, but every?
thing to gain, provided the inquest bo
honest and impartial. If we are to bavo
such an investigation of 'outrages,' let
the committeo be composed of fair men,
representing both wings of the Repub?
lican party as well as the Democratic
party, and a fair expose of all 'outrages'
perpetrated, whether by Radioal bum?
mers sr Southerners. The investigation,
80 far from being injurious, will prove a
benefit both to tho South and to thu
whole country."
Mr. Perry Zeiglor, of Valdosta, was
killed at Naylor, on the Atlantic and
Gulf Railroad, last Saturday night, by
a man named Rufus Garter. The assas?
sin approached Mr. Zeigler while bo was
standing in front of a fire in the open
air, seized him by the hair, and, with
ono stroke of a knife, out his throat,
causing almost instant death. Carter
then mado his escape, and, at last ac?
counts, had not been urrested.
The son of Mr. Wm. Applewhite, of
Wilson County, carno to a very singular
death a week ago. It seems that the
child, while sleeping "behind" on a
bedstead, of tho usual height, full off,
and was oangbt, with his chin between
the bed and the wall, and thero choked
to doath, without being able to bring
others to its relief by its cries.
John Celf was buriod by thc caving of
a well he was cleaniug, near Leaven?
worth, Kansas, but was taken out alivo

rently well, but in a few hours gave way,
aud died without a struggle.

party knocked at tho rear door of the

wounding one or two of them. Six balls

On February 1, he received 700 letters
