COLTOB?A,jj g Wednesday Morning, April 5,1871. The Dootor who proposed relieving his patient of the headache by blistering the soles of his feet, was hardly more brilliant in his idea than Mr. Wendell Phillips lately was. This worthy gentle? man is violently exorcised over the Ka Klux Fata, Morgana, now playing, amid the, noisomo vapors of tho Capitol, and gives it ns his deliberate opinion that, "the shooting, by a drum-head court martial, of at least half a dozen South? ern millionaires, is the only process whereby law and order can be restored to the South." Shooting millionaires! Is it not unkind in Wendell to make "game" of such harmless respectables. THINGS TO COME,-We cannot exactly understand how a woman iu a tranoe oan prophecy, yet one is reported to have made the following predictions, while under the spell, in Louisville, Kentucky, last week. She predicted a wet spring, a hot, dry summer, and a dreadful epi? demic of some new and fatal sickness, which, wUl inevitably carry off all at? tacked and causothe people to fall like autumn leaves before its dreadful walk. All attacked will die, inevitably, and in a few hours. There is to be another Euro? pean war in 1872, to whioh the recent conflicts will be a mero oironmstnnoo. Nothing BO dreadful as this war has ever been known on earth. Two of the rebel Ku Klux were cap? tured in Ohattooga County, Georgia, xeoently, and were tried and sentenced to seven -years each in the penitentiary. TheeS rebels were not rebels in the strict ?dense of the term, but were ex-Federal soldiers who settled in Georgia after the war, and we style them rebels simply through courtesy to the lion. Benjamin F. Butler and his political associates in Congress, who wonld be much mortified to hear that two men of their own feel? ings, sentiments and habits of life are in the Georgia penitentiary for committing Kn Klux outrages. PI^ONOBRED AND " BAVCUTOTED.'-It is estimated'tt?at more than two hundred millions of dollars have been stolen from the Southern States by tho carpet-bag officials, who have been pat in control there by the combination of Government bayonets and native savagery. This vast earn has been taken-from a people im? poverished by a long and unsuccessful war, and, in some quarters, actually in want for food and raiment. The last dollar has boen wrung from the man in moderate circumstances, and the last penny from the mau in rags, and all to swell the ill-gotten gains of adventurers from another seotiou. The extent of the bSealing in South Carolina is an illustra? tion tb the point. According to the last report of the State Comptroller-General, (Radical) the tuxes to be collected this year uro more than (en-fold the largest tax ol atiy bue year before tho war, although the assessed value of the pro? perty forming the basis of taxation is less by o?e-f?tf<i.than ifTwaaTat'.tuat time. In other words, while the value of the property of ibo white people of the Stute is .reduced from .5*89,000,000 to ?183, 000,000, the amount raised by taxation is increased from $400,000 (whioh was th? amount1 of the levy in I860,) to $4,250,000. This is what South Carolina ?taggers under; und because, among the miserable people, there aro some few who hayo b JO ti driven, by desperation, to commit'?cts of violence, the President of the United States hus issued a proclama? tion, pronouncing the State to be iu a condition of "insurrection," and com? manding the "insurgents" to disperse to their respectivo abodes within twenty days. Our fathers wero in insnrrcotiou against the British crown for wrongs fur lesa than thoso under which tho Caro? linians suffer.- New York News. A SINGULAR INSURANCE CASE.-A curi? ous -suit i is likely to grow out of the killing of Mr. Shrodor by Henry Ward, (lately of Washington and Baltimore,) aside from the criminal aspects of the case, which, of themselves, will be strange enough. Tho deceased hud his life heavily insured in a New York lile insurance company, and tho corporation issuing the polioy now proposes to bring a suit for damages against Mr. Ward for destroying its property. Leading law? yers express the opinion that the coen is actionable' iff?all its dotails. and ns Mr. Ward is understood to be tho possessor of large wealth, recently inherited from his father, it is believed tho company oan recover the amount it has to pay on Shroder's polioy.

A SAD ACCIDENT IN BIUTTANY.-A re? cent number of the Puris Journal pub? lishes a letter from a former Prefect of Cherbourg, n M. Levaiuvillo, to ?rsene Houssaye, which coutaius so extraordi? nary n tale that it seems drawn from ono of the old legen du, and similar incidents were doubtless the origia of tho tales of fierce drugous that aame up from the sea, in tho olden duys, and devoured every 1 one along the coaRt. Many Ruch legends I are told by tho old' womeu iu tho cot I tage? of the fishermen at Brittany: MESSIEURS: It is ull the moro cruel for mo to have to announce to you the sad nows that your sister is uo moro; that tho horrible catastrophe by which abe fouud her death curried away from me my wife, a daughter, a nephew, and a niece. In an excursion to tho rocks of L'en 'March all these dear ones had tuleen their seats npou a great cliff which de? scended ubruptly to tho sea, more thau thirty feet below. Tho sea was calm, not tho slightest appearance of danger. To give greater security, if it had been possible to have the slightest fear, upon this cliff was a house, from thu windows of which its occupants looked upon us, aud with tho experience of these coasts, had no more uneasiness than ourselves, and did not for a moment suppose that there could be any imprudence in occu? pying a spot frequented by tourists evory year, without uuy accident having ever occurred. I wns a little distance from the group, talking with my mother. Suddenly, without anything to auuouuuo it, a furious wave dashed ugainat the rock, flew np its rough sides, enveloped thc whole party aud dashed them into the sea. No assistance was possible, bo sides, tho unhappy victims were dead before being swallowed up by the waves. If your grief is great, mine is immense; for I have,lost iu this frightful disaster the two hoi tigs I udorod more thau life, and my despair has no consolation but the firm hope that I may not loug sur? vive them. Tho papers iu Brittany aro filiad with accounts of this unheard-of horror. The Maritime Prefect of Brest gave orders to keep watch ulong the coast to fiud the bodies, but a week after only one had bbeu found, that of thu nephew, and it is presumed that ibo others have been cut to pieces by the sharp-edgod sunken rocks upou which they fell. The placo is called, deservedly, tho "Trott d'Enfer" (hell bolo.) Four empty coOins are kept j in tho little chapel of tho Purdon de Peu I 'March, by the side of thu one coutuin I ing that of the boy, awaiting their occu I pants. Mme. Levaiuvillo was onl} ! thirty years of ugo, and Meno. Bonue rauiuj sister of Monsieur Arseno lions i saye, thirty-five. ?She resided at Loan, I famed foi* the explosion of its citadel, and had taken refuge iu Brittany from the horrors which devastated her own home. There is trouble brewing in Rou mania. Thc quarrel between Priuco diaries and tho representatives of the people has cul? minated ia tho dissolution of the Parlia? ment and thu transfer ol' all power into the h auls of a ministry openly opposed to the carrying out of tho constitutional rights guaranteed to the Roumanians. Most ot' our English co temporaries ex? press tho opinion that tho troubles in thu Principality ure tho fruits of Russian intrigue, and they eutuitaiu tho old fear of tho absorption of a portion of Turkey by Russia. If Groat Britain is wise, shu will keep out of tho Eastern question, and allow Russia to settle tho evcr reenrriug difficulty, once nnd for nil, in her own way. With tho abrogation of tho Puris treaty of 1856, tho interest of England and France iu the Eastern trouble should ocaso. Auolher of tho features whioh recom? mend the franking privilege to memborn of Congress may be found in a prospect? us of a summer watering placo, sent out from Washington City by thousands, under tho frank of Mr. J. M. Cava nangu, delegate from tho Territory of Montana. Tho priutcd circular, on which the United States is made to pay postage, describes the summer resort as "a magnificent uew hotel, with accom? modation for 900 persons." Wo havo no doubt that this hotel is a very good one, and, if it is, should bo able to pay io? scuding abroad its advertisements. An old negro man named Mapoy Ed? wards was beaten to death by a eolored woman in Clinton, Tenn., a few days since.

First, as p protection to tho bruin against tho direct rays of tho ann,. hi? bair ie made to grow short and curly, aud he is furnished with a skull of enormous thickness. In no other being do we seo tho wisdom of tho Creator moro clearly exhibited than in the construction of tho African. Tho soles of his feet aro overlaid with u thick layer of fat-a bad conductor of heat thereby enabliDg him to walk ut his ease over the barning sunda, and forming for him a far better protection than any con? trivance the art of man could devise. And, now, you may. ask why did God make the African black? I answer, in order that ho may be able to keep oool in that torrid climate. A bluck surface will radiate or part with heat moro rapid? ly than a white one-an experiment that any one may try. Tuke two vessels that are, iu every respect, tho same-two tea-pots, for instance ; let one of them be covered over with lampblack; then hil thom both with boiling wutor, und you will dud that the bluck ooo will bc cold much sooner than the bright one. I believe all scientific meu agree that, B?noe tho creation of man, n large tract of land, stretching out from Africa to New Holland, has been submerged, and is now covered by the Indian Ocean. Thia would readily account for tho negro beiug an inhabitant of that country, and such u change must have very much modified tho climate of Australia. I have no doubt that, in past ages, the different races ol men must have been ar more numerous thau at the present. Those great revolutions that raised tho Alps from the bed of thu ocean-which submerged whole continents, while it brought others into existence-must have swept away whole races of men, while others were lost sight of, like tho ten tribes of Israel, through amalgama? tion. I think il is plain that thc African was a distinct race from tho beginning, aud that the only roasou for forming him as ho is was, simply, that all tho earth might be inhabited.-New Yo k World. NliW R.VILltOAD SUPERINTENDENT.-Wo understand that Captaiu A. F. Butler has boon tendered, and has accepted, thc position of Superintendent of the Char? lotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad. Captain Butler is most favorably known in connection with tho Georgia Central Railroad, as agent, in Augusta, and, latterly, itt Savauunh. Ever courteous aud prompt in tho discharge of his ofli cial duties, and of thc strictest integrity and most ngveoablc social qualities, he has concentrated the respect sud con 11 deuoe of business circler wherever thrown, and numbers his personal friends by scores. Wo congratulate tho road upon their good fortune iu securing the services of a gentleman whoso well-estab? lished vigor and administrativo abilities iu railroad matters are a guaranty o F tho advancement of tho interests of the cor? poration over which he is to preside. Captain A. M.

On this question, Mr. Cox holds somewhat advanced views. Ho is uot ouly in favor of the abolition of tho oath referred to, but he would do away with all political aud promissory oaths whatever. Ue ransacks his history, sacred and profane, quotes Biblical, classical, legal anti literary authorities for illustretioas of tho abuses of oath taking. lu fact, from tho earliest re? corded times to tho present meeting of tho National Assembly of France, this clever Congressman has left nothing un? touched that could enliven or illustrate his theme. Tho strictures of Mr. Cox on "tho flippant irreverences of Young America" aro unquestionably just, aud his critieisms upon mauy of thc super? fluous oaths prescribed by our statutes are doscrviug of serious attention.

LADY.-Tho word "Indy" basan inter? esting derivation; it comes from two Saxon words-"laf," a loaf of bread, and "dian," to give. Ia tho old days, the wealthy ladies gave bread to the poor at regular times. The poor called them "laf-dy," or bread-giver. Thia became abbreviated to lady. Thore is a beauti? ful poetry in words, when it is known;* and the study of words is growing in appreciation. Words embody history; they are something moro than meaning? less symbols. How much higher our appreciation of tho term "lady", rises when we know that it had its origin in an old charitable custom of onr English ancestresses.
