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.

That the negro w?? created for the cli?
mate of Africa",?. .tho wh'pjo strocturo,,bf
hb body uni tea to prove. 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.

Captain Butler is most favorably known

As represented in tho Daily Glube, of
Saturday last, a late speech of Air. S. S.
Cox, of this City, with reference to the
iron-clad oath, assn mea tho proportions
of a very loamed and exhaustive treatise
upon tho general subject of oaths lind
oaths-taking. 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.

FIRE IN THE WOODS.-Yesterday after?
noon a fire of seemingly considerable

If any one doubts whether the time is
at hand when the nations shall not learn
wer any more, let him look at the bill
France has to poy for her last half year's
schooling. Professor Wilhelm don't be?
lieve in cheap education auy more than
Br. Weatherly, and such prices as he
charges will break up the school.
Pamphlets, briefs, catalogues, dodgers,
posters, hand-bills, bill-heads-in fact,
everything in tho way of job printing
gotten up in the best style and on terms
that we pledtre ourselves will be satisfac?
tory to all parties. Let us hear from

An exchange says that clergymen who
preach against the acquisition of wealth
seldom object to an increase of salary.
Generally, however, there would be no
inconsistency in this, as pastoral salaries
will bear all tho increase which "flocks"
are disposed to graut, without involving
any dangerous "acquisition of wealth."

Postmaster Wilder is busily at work
putting in order the building on Wash?
ington street, immediately in rear of

moval which the citizens gonerally will
appreciate.
The tornado in Paris has proved how
Oinsiblo tho Government was in going to
Versailles, with its open par!;3 and court?,
instead of venturing to Paris; or, rather,
how insane it would have been to place
themselves where they would have been
bosieged, barricaded, stormed, dissolved
and given as food for the guillotine.
Tho mau who puts his head in the lion's
mouth is wiso iu comparison.
By an advertisement in another

their gorgeous uniform coats and suow
whito pants, and their apparatus, with
its glistening steel and shining bras.?,
wreathed in evergreens jewelled with
Flora's carly offerings, they presented a
tnaguiGoont appearance. They were
preceded, in their lino of march, by tho
Firemen's Brass Band, under tho leader-,
ship of Captain W.H. LyBrand, the
music of which greatly enlivened the
occasion.

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. Instead of thinking , of a
fashionable butterfly, we oonoeivc the
kindly'ministra lions of tho trao worntm
lus the *'bread-giver-*o>?h?.pobr.! ; And,
?y this: prock^/.^??rd'^?ady"-the*
general synohyn? ! for somethiifg'grapdly
frivolous-grows on us ns tho poetic
symbol of womanly charity.
