A singular incident occurred at Lewis?
ton, Maine, last week, which may, per?
haps, afford physicians a hint respecting
the treatment of that , hitherto unman
ageble disease, diptheria. A factory girl
of that city, while suffering from thu
complaint, was attacked with s severe
coughing, when the nurse, discovering
what seemed to ba a foreign substance
in the patient's throat, seized the end of
it, and, to her surprise and alarm, pulled
out the falso membrane. This act ssvod
the sufferer. A ft bys i ola a of that eitj
now has the membrane in his possessio u.
It is about three inobes in length, Com?
pletely preserved, of a .white leathery
noba tunee, and is so thick that it retain*
the shape of the air passage from which
it waa withdrawn. It has before been
suggested that diptheria and similar dis?
eases might be treated mechanically, and
croup haa sometimes yielded to the sur?
geon.
French ideas of popular liberty are
very peculiar; with them a o hange of
masters rarely, implies a change of tbe
old despotic policy. Thou Thiers, no
man was ever moro eloquent in favor ol
the freedom of tbat great bulwark of
popular liberty-the press, yet we find
bia government daily hsccmicg more re?
strictive than Napoleon's ever waa.
Even now fresh restrictions are contem?
plated, and the Minister of the Interior
bas openly announced bis intention of
"making offeudiug journals speedily
feel their effect." Mr. Thiers' ino?n ,
aistenuy may possibly be diotated by the
necessities of tbe times, but it proves
that, until recently, bo waa not as wiBe

The New York journal of Commerce
says of flunkeyiem and snobbery that
are apparent rn the pr?sence of tbe Bus 1
?ian Dake, that it all belongs to the New
York press, and not to tbe people, and
.dds: "If the reports of some, of tbe
city papers, whose Jenkinses follow the
Grand Duke like poodle dogs every
time he walka into the street, and bribe
ehamber-maids and footmen to give
tbem tbe latest bulletins about his bed,
diet and ouange of clothes, were true,
then wo are iodeed a set of fawning
varlets, and ought to be subjects of an
empire; where we could have these de?
lightful prinoes to flatter and toady upon
for the ress of our lives."
PATHXB AND BOH.-The police, yester?
day, arrested a yoong man named Bas?
com Smith, at the instance of bis father.
J. Ii. Smith, wbo lives near Pine Blouse,
S. O. The latter olaimed that his son
bad stolen a horse from him, and ran off
to this place with it. The horse was
found in tbe possession of young Smith,
but an investigation developed the fad
that it had not been stolen. The father,
it seems, gave the animal to bis non (who
ia about eighteen years of age) some
Mme ainco, and the fatter had ridden him
to this place to escape from his father,
who had threatened to whip him severely
for some trivial offence, xoung Smith
waa released.-Augusta Constitutionalist.
"Green corn" sounds curious at this
season, but here is what the Palatka
(Pla.) Herald says: "The steamer Ook
iawaba arrived here on Monday, the 18th
instant, from Salt Lake. She brought
nine passengers. What was noteworthy
for the season, she bad for market 1,000
ears of green corn from Turkey Greek,
Indian uiver." Tho same paper sayB
"that the present season has produoed
tba largest and most delicious oranges
that we have seen for many years. Per?
haps the unusual size of this fruit is
owing to the fact that the groves lost
one-third of their fruit .during the se?
vere gales of August, since which time
the season baa been most propitious for
their development.''
"WOHN ??T WITH Fi au HES."-The su
ioide of a olerk in the Bank of New York
occurred recently. The name of the de?
ceased was Rufus Bipley, aged twenty
three. He had been employed for s?ve
ral years in the bank aa book-keeper in
the gold department. He had suffered
at intervals from neuralgia iu the head,
which oaused the most intense pain, and
at times unfitted him for business. He
lefts letter, in whioh be said: "I am
worn out with head-aches and figures,
and I am going to my long rest. I have
made the last posting in the ledger of
life, sod now i am going to 'tick off.'
Good-bye! God blecs youl" The bank
offioers state that the accounts of the de?
ceased are oorreot.
A suit is now in progress in New York
tbat promises to rival tbe celebrated
Gaines casa in prolixity, as it certainly
does in the distioguiahed character of
the parties and the scandalous nature of
the revelations that it involves. The
struggle is for the estate of Mme. Jumel,
once the wife of Aaron Barr, whioh is
now worth 82,000,000. The property is
in possession of one Ohase, who holds
by right of his wife, who claims to be
the illegitimate child of Mme. Jamel;
and the latest claimant is one Bowen,
who represents himself to bethe natural
son of that lady, who seems to have
rather improved on the example set by
ber distinguished hnsband.

what he had to say in extenuation of hia
offence. He stated that he had been
forced into the order through fear; had
been on two raids, and whipped three
colored men. Judge Bond sentenced
bim to a line of 910 and imprisonment
oho year.
Judge Bond called all the prisoners
ap, and obarged them aa follows:
. You bave pleaded guilty to an indict?
ment which oharges yon with conspir?
ing with other men throughout thia
State, to intimidate a oe?Hun o?ase ol
voters by means of threats, beating and
oven killing, because thal class) of oiti
aens were opposed to the conspirators in
political opinion.
iWe acknowledge great perplexity in
Sitermining what punishment shall be
eted out to yon. We have no word?
strong enough to signify Oar horror at
the means "employed to carry oat the
parp?se of the klacs. Oar difficulty is
personal to yon.
. You have, aa it opp oars from your
statements to the co art, been brought
tip in tho moat deplorable igaoranoe.
At the aojo of manhood, but one or two
.if yon caa oitber read or write, and you
have lived ia a ooajusuuity where the
ttvideuoe BOC ma to establish the fact thal
toe men ol prominence and education
those who, by their superiority in these
respects, establish ana . control public
opinion-were for the most part partial
panta in the conspiracy, or so much ia
terror of it that you could obtain frurr.
them neither protection nor advice, had
yon sought it.
. There is abundant proof of the natnn
aud obaraoter of the conspiracy. Evi
dence of nightly raids by bauds of dis
guised men, wbo bnke into the houser
of negroes and dragged them from theil
bods-parents and children-and, ticing
them to tree?; unmercifully beat them
is exhibited in every case. Murder anc
rape are not unfrequent aooompaui
menta, the story of whioh is too inde
cent for public mention. The peraom
upon whom these atrocities are commit
ted are almost always oolored people
Whatever exouae ia given for a raid, it
ero u elua ion was almost always aocompa
nied by a rebuke for the former exorcist
of the auftr?ge aud a warning aa to th
tature exercise of the right to vote.
But what ia quite as appalling to th
court UH tho horrible nature of these ol
fences, ia the otter absence, on you
part, and on the part of others who bav
made confession here, of any sense o
feeling that you have done auytuiu
very wrong in yonr confessed partioipa
doa in outrages whioh are unexample*
outside of the Indian Territory.
Some of your comrades reoite the oil
onmstanoes of a brutal, unprovoke
murder, done by themselves, with aa lil
tie apparent abhorrence aa they wool
relate the incidents of a pic-nie; an
you, yourselves, speak of the number c
blows with a hiokory whioh you iuflio
ed, at midnight, upon the laaeratec
bleeding back of a defenceless womat
without so much as a blush or sigh of ri
gret. None of you seam to have tb
slightest idea of, or respeot for, the si
oredneasof the human person. Some?
yon haye yourselves been beaten by tl
glans without feeling a smart, but tl
physical pain. There appears tobo r.
wounding of the spirit; no auch sense <
injury to yourself as a mau, aa would t
telt by the humblest of your fellow-oil
zena in any other part of the Unit?
dtates with whioh I am acquainted.
There the citizen upon whom sue
outrages were perpetrated, stung co ma
uess by tho insult to hia manhood, wou
be s (rift to follow the wrong-doer to tl
end.of the world to make him atone f
it. You make exouae for this in yo
statement to tho court that you are ve
ignorant; that the klans would ba
beaten you, and even killed you, had yi
refused to join them in their orin?
Some of you now partionlarly befe
me have actually suffered for your i
fasal before you really united in mei
bership with them. The court, in
endeavor to recognize some features
humanity in you, bas considered thc
foots whioh you plead aa excuses. Y
have grown up in a country wh<
slavery exiated fora long time, and wb(
the whipping-post waa a standing ins
tntion.
T? see blacks flagellated was no c
usual occurrence. The scene oft
viewed, with ita novelty, lost ita revc
mg effect. And when it came to
understood that the human person v
not BO eacred in the oolored mao aa
secure immunity from outrage, it <
not take it loog to lose its sacred ohar
ter in yourselves, and ia all other u
who, like the oolored man, was oblif
to labor. It must be from this cai
that your utter indifference to wroi
which, among freemen, would stii
fever in the blood of age, arises.
And then you tell us that you dil
from many other portions of the conn
in this, that it has always been obli
tory upon you, and the class to wh
you belong, to look to persons of wea
and eduoation for command, and t
you, in your ignorauoe, had to foll
such persous implicitly.
It will appear strange to your fell
countrymen, who r-jad your story i
that of your confederates, however v
ing they may be to believe you, that
large a portion of tbe young white r.
of your County can be iu such a stab
abject slavery to the men of propt
above them, as to be willing to oom
murder at their oommand.
lu no euee bas there been any ret
anea to these mid-night raiders, exe
on the part of the colored people,
say some of yon "laid out" in the wc
night after night, aud have hidden y<
selves in thickets to escape these
randers. Nono of you, however, 1
had the manliness to defend your
sides from the assaults of these lan
men. There has not been, on your \
so far aB the evidence shows, an ass
and battery committed in defence ol
mily and home and all that freemen 1
dear.
Admitting all you have said to
oourt to be true, while the story of ;
condition end of your partioipAtio
-." y? -
thea? outrages-through fear is painfal
enough, tho facto do. not exouse you.
They may palliate, in some degree, your
offence, bat: they cannot j natif y yon.
The po ni ah ment the court award? yon ia
partly inflicted that yo?may learn that
no amount ot th rou te or fear o? punish-,
ment will justify a man in unprovoked'
violence to another, unless the danger
threatened to tao wrong-doer be immi?
nent or actually pr?sent at . the time of
hi? wrong doing, and .even then tho dan?
gar must bs of present great- bodily
harm, and of death itself, before some
of the oriminal conduct confessed would
be justified. It does not exouse you for
participating in thia conspiracy, aud
raiding upon inoffensive colored people,
dragging them from their beds, beating
some and hanging others, that you had
notice if you did not join, the klaus
would visit you.
You are bound to run the risk or seek
means of protection, rather than do vio-,
lenee to your neighbor. The law and
your fellow-citisens look to you to make
this threst of violence difficult of exeoa
tion, by a manly resistance or. on en?
forcement of the law. You had no right,
wheu you oould escape, to make the
prioe of your security too violation of
your neighbor's.
. Yon and your confederates must make
up your minds either to resist the Ku
Klux oonspiraoy or the laws of the
United States. They cannot both exist
together; and it only needs a little man?
liness and courage, on the part of you
ignorant dupes of designing men, to
give supremacy to the law. Be assured,
it will ?ot be taken as an exouse in your
ossa, or in any other, to bear it said, "1
slew this man because the thief .ordered
it, and. I was afraid," and " 'brushed1
and raped these others beoanse I dreaded
to be whipped if I did not."
Mr. Oorbiu culled John Harris, one ol
the colored men whipped, who gave i
description of bis being whipped in t
severe manner by the Ku Klux.
Monroe Scruggs WUB called np ant

of his offence. He stated that be hue

forced, into the order. Judge Bryai
stated to bim, that on account of hi
youth, the court waa inclined to deal a
leniently with him aa possible; and afte

BEUT AL MURD KB.-An inoffensive old
colored man, named Adam Jackson, em?
ployed on the plantation of Mr. Hay?
ward Brown, who resides about eight
miles from Blackville, was on his way
to the latter place, on Saturday before
Christmas, in company with bia son, in
charge of a load of cotton, the old man
walking beeide tbe wagon and the sou
driving. When about one mile from
town, they met a wagon containing five
j white men, who were on their way to
Orangeburg to spend the Christmas.
Tbe old mao politely lifted his hat to the
? party, aud wished them a merry Christ
I mas. Without any other provocation,
one of the party, a man by the name of
Eli Cbavia, from Edge?eld Oounty,
jumped from his wagon, and, making a
terrible lunge at Adam, plunged the
knife into his heart, cutting it in half.
He made no attempt to injure the boy,
but, getting baok into the wagon with
his companions, started off. As soon aa
the son saw tho terrible deed whioh had
been done, he took one of the mules
from bis wagon, and rode aa rapidly as
possible to Blackville, and fortunately
found Mr. Brown aud informed him of
the tragedy, and he and his brother
Pinokney and Mr. S. Graham started in
pursuit. After a chase of some ten or
twelve milt's, they overtook ?nd cap?
tured tba whole five, bringing them back
to Blackville and delivering them over
to the authorities. - Charleston Courier.
John M. Morris, editor of the Wash?
ington Chronicle, baa begun an action
for libel against William J. Murtagh,
editor of the Washington Republican,
laying damages at $20,000. Mr. Morris
in one of the executive clerk? of the
United States Senate, and assumed the
management of the Chronicle about a
year ago, succeeding John W. Forney.
He owned, previously to that time, tbe
Cbaileaton Republican, whioh has since
died. Tho Washington Republican has
charged editorially that Morris was run?
ning the Chronicle on money obtained
from South Carolina State officers Whom
the State Legislature baa been trying to
impeach, and has called npon the Senate
to make an investigation, since the
charges reflected upon one of ita offlc-ere.
It is these charges whioh are met by the
libel sait above mentioned. - -i
PERTINENT AND IMRERTINKNT.-A de?
mure-looking chap bailed a charcoal
peddler with tbe query, "Have yon got
charcoal in your wagon?" "Tes, sir,"
said tho expeotant driver, stopping hlB
horses. "That's right," observed the
demure chap, with an approving nod;
"always tell the truth, und people will
respect youl" And ho hurried on, muoh
to the regret of the peddler, who was
getting out of the wagon to look for a
brick. >
At a recent meeting of the Institution
of Mechanical Engineers, a paper was
read on self-acting machinery, in which
comparisons were made between hand
work and maobine* work. A skilled
knitter, using tba ordinary needles, will
knit sixty loops, or stitobes, a minute; a
frame-work knitter, with his hand-frame,
knits about 5.400 stiobea a minute; but
three of tho self-acting knitting ma?
chines, whioh can be attended to by
one girl, will knit 40,500 stitches a
minnte.
SUDDEN DEATHS.-We are informed,
says tho Raleigh Era, that a man by the
name of Lee, slightly drunk, was danc?
ing at a friend's house in Chatham Coun?
ty, on last Sunday night, and fell dead
while danoing. On Monday last, in the
same County, Mr. Jesse Mason was sit?
ting by his fire and died before it was
known that he was sick.
Artemus Ward was once on a slow
Cai if oro ia train, and went to tbe conduc?
tor and suggested that the cow ketcher
was on the wrong end of the tram, for
said be: "You will never overtake a
cow, you know; but if yon'd put it on
the other end it might be useful, for now
there's nothing on earth to hender a cow
from walking right in and biting tbe
folks!"
Again we find a good word of the in?
fant terribles. A gentleman of ripe age
was oonrting a rioh widow. "See,
m ira ma, "said her ?mali son who waa
playing in tbe room, "this poor M.
Bonhomme has lost all his back bair.
Won't you give him some of yours,
whioh you bonght to-day?"
An old man, named Scvope, who had
been Gol. Houston's right bower in the
Texas war, and bad received wounds and
honors in abandanoe under Gen. Taylot
io Mexico, waa lately found killed and
sculped near Oxford, Kansas.
Tho Seoond Adventists are at it again.
