Eagle gives the follow? ing satisfactory, truthful and pangeut answers to this question: So long as the South stands ready and anxious to send men of more brains and integrity to the Senate than the de? magogues now dominaut there possess, those demagogaes .may be relied upon to vote to keep such men out. In thia personal reason, lies the whole antipathy to amnesty. Few of tbe Senators ara statesmen - uow. Many of them nra knaves, and an equal additional number are ranters. The fools and the jobbers are the grout majority. They wonld be bedwarfed into insignificance by the advent of men who would prove the in? tellectual heirs of the men the Senate contained before and up to tho begin? ning of the war. There were giants in those days. They went into secession, but they never went into stealing. They were violent, but they were not venal. They were hasty, bat they were not dis? honest. They believed more in their States than they did in their country, but they never sold their votes to rail? road lobbyists. They never slavered a President, nor ever became infamously and rapidly rich on their small salaries. They never votod a dollar for the war, to be sore-but tboy never voted a dollar to a "ring" or into their own, pockets. Their mouth waa full-too 'ul!,'perhaps, of States' rights, but they never bad their deBks running over with railroad stocks, nor gauged their support of a measure by tho condition of their bank books. Small wonder that the slightest vision of suob men, or their similitude, ooming n ,-iin to the Capitol, frights the souls of their feebled adversaries. Jea? lously of and conscious inferiority to such men is the real reason why amnesty waa killed, and we conjure the country to bear the foot in mind. "THE BANSOM OF FRANCE."-The pro? position for a subscription by the peo? ple to the indemnity to Germany, at once takes like wild-fire throughout France. All the journals are boisterous for it-the public men are ooooorriog, and the masses of the population ap? pear equally enthusiastic. The Courier des Etats Unis, of New York, has given notice that it will reoeivo contributions for the same purpose, and considerable sums have already been forwarded to it. Great and commendable zeal is mani? fested in favor of the scheme by Frenob residents in this country. A PROGRESSIVE EMPEROR.-It is said that tho present Emperor of Japan ia tho ono hundred and twenty-fourth HOV reign in direct succession from thu eldest family known in ancient or modern his? tory, aud occupying a throne, has, in four years, reversed tho decrees of cen? turies. Xfcrt MkmjtmUm ?a?-* ?I,4*MI BB-BNt , OqpanalU??. .*> Coder tWh*ia of -Tho Bottom Bail ?? Top," the Nsf York World publishes i the following abstract of the majority report of the Ka Klux Committee to Congress: The proceedings and debate? ia Coa greBS show that whatever other causes -were asid goad for disorders in late inaur reotfoniry?tfctes, the execution of laws end aeoority of life and property were alleged to be moat seriously threatened by the existence and acts of organised bands of armed and disguised men, koowa as Ka Klaz. Inquiring, as oar primary duty, into the truth ol thone al? legations, in those Stetes where such aots bave moat.recently been committed, tho investigation necessarily assumed a wider range. Not only has Inquiry been made aa to the commission of outrages, aa to the execution of laws by ?be Supe? rior Courts and inferior Magistrates^ but bad legislation, official incompetency, corruption, and other canses having been assigned as accounting for. if not justi? fying disorders, they, too, have, to a large extent, entered into the statemeuti and opinions* of witnesses. There is a remarkable concurrence of testimony tc the effect that in those of the late rebel? lious States, into whose condition thc committee have examined, the courti and juries administer justice betweer mau and man iu all ordinary cases, civi and criminal; and while there is tb ii concurrence on this point, the evideuo< ia equally ucoi?ivo that redress cannot bi obtained ugainat those who commi crimes in disguise and at night. Th? reasous assigned aro that ideutiuoatioi is difficult, almost impossible; that whet this ia attempted the combinations ant oaths of the order come iu aud relensi the culprit by perjury, either upon tlx witness stund or in th? jury box; um that terror inspired by their aots, ns wei as public sentiment in their favor, ii many localities, paralyzes thc arm o civil power. That this organization ma; not be looked at in the exaggerated ligb of overriding all law and justice in tb communities where it exista, and tba tho facility with which the well-dispose* people of the South havo adupted them selves to their ohanged circumstance may be seen, they introduoe statement on this subjeet of a few prominent me from several ol those States, inolndin ex-Qov. Orr, of South Carolina; ex-Qoi Parsons, of Alabama; Gen. Clanten, C D. Forsyth, tho Solicitor of the Bom (Georgia) Judicial Circuit. While thor ts this general concurrence of evidenc to the efficiency of the administration ( justice by the Superior Courts, there ai complaints that, in somo instances, ii competeut Judges have boen appointee numerous complaints of the incapacil of many of the inferior Magistrates, an in several of the States the Gu vcr no: are obarged with au abuse of the pardoi ing power, especially in favor of the n groes. The inquiry into the presentoonditic of the late insurrectionary States nece sarily involved the history of the su cessive steps which have led to that oo dition, as effected by tho bands alreac referred to, and before proceeding consider their present situation tho coi mitteo trace, so far as they are able do so from tho testimony and fro official reports, the origin, extent, pu poses and mode of operation of tl heretofore secret and mystorious orgai zation, and the causes assigned for i existence and earlier actions. There o expressions of belief by United Stat military officers and others that sect organizations were formed in tho inst reotionary States soon after tho close the war, hostile to and intended to e barrase the Government of tho Unit States and of the States in the prof administration of the affairs of t country. Among these were the sta ments made by Major-General Thon: before the Reconstruction Committee February, 18G6, and by General Mea in his official report for 1868, as co mander of the Department of the Sou Neither of the statements of these g< tlement refer to tho Ku Klux Klan, t they oover the period during which made its appearance. Its gradual i velopment ia then traced by thoevidei of witnesses. Taking these statemo from official sources, showing tho pro lenee of this organization in every c of the late insurrectionary States and Kentucky, it is difficult now, with light which bas recently been thro upon its history, to realiza tbat even existence of the Ka Klux order bas b so long a mooted question in the pul mind. Especially is this remarkable view of the effects that are disclosed some of this documentary evidence have boen produced by it; that it used as a means of intimidating i murdering negro votors during the 1 sidential election of 18G8, tho testim on the Louisiana and other oontei eleotion cases already referred to ole establishes. Tho report treats with nnteness on the occurrences in Sc i Carolina and Georgia, Mississippi Alabama aro grouped together for purpose of showing the extstonco of Klux and their practices. After a long lecturo to the peopl the South for permitting the Ku 1 to exist, and an apology for the Ku I Aot, they say that the law of 1871 been effective in suppressing for present to a great extent the noorat of the masked and disguised me North and South Carolina. Bills 1 also been found by grand juries in G gia, Alabama and Mississippi, but < paratively few, if any, of the defend in tho lust named States have been tried. Tho apparent cessation of oj tiona would not lend to a conclusion the community would bo Bnfe if lectivo measures were withdrawn. 1 would be continued until there rei no further doubt of thc actual sup sion and disarming of tho widc-si und dangerous conspiracy. Tho rt of suspending the writ ol habeas ct I in South Carolina show that wbon membership, ? myst?rfai '*iia~tr?Trtir "bf the orgBDizaMon hare been i kept con? cealed, thia ie the moat ?ad perhaps the only e?feotiTo remedy for it? suppres? sion; and, in view of its' cessation and rasumptlon of hostilities at different times, of its extent and power, and that in several of the States where it exista, the oonrts have not held terms at which the cases can be tried, we recommend that the power conferred on1 the Presi? dent by the fourth seotion of that Aol be extended until the end of the next session of Congress. Ip view, also, ol tbs large number of indictments found in the several ooarts ander this Act, which vet remain untried, and of th? evident encouragement derived fron the belief that the present United Statei courts oscnot possibly reach and tri them within any reasonable time, wi recommend snob an increase of tin jadioiary of the United States by dis (riots and circuits in the States sbowi to be affected by these disorders as ii the judgment of Ooogresss will secar speedy and certain justice to be ad mi nistered, and leave no hope of impunit to criminals by the law's delay. Th continuance of disabilities is the onl, cause not yet considered. No mai under disabilities bas avowed himself a either committing or encouraging oui rages for that reason, aad no member o the organization has justified their aot on that ground. It is one of the prc texts made by those who were williup t urge any plausible exouse for outrage which admit of none; but to remo? alleged impediments to the local govert meut encountered hy the existence C disabilities to hold office, and bein satisfied that there should be n geuen removal of them, with proper conditioi and exceptions, we recommend tb passage of a law for that purpose, agrei ing in the recommendation made by tl President to exclude from its benefi uDy great criminals distinguished aboi all others for the part they took in opp? sition to the Government. In this cot nectiou, we wish to say that as disregai of law has beon the evil so largely con plained of and so widely extended in tl lute insurrectionary States, no encoi ragement should be given to those wi have accepted offloo in defiance of tl existence of these constitutional disabi ties, or have eleoted to office men who they knew to be excluded by tbem. The report of Representative Steve son, from the sub committee on deb and election laws of the late insurre tiouary States, Bays: "Ex-Governor Bt lock, of Georgia, sent a letter more i markable for argument against the pt ceediugs of the sub-oommittee as breach of State rights than for the fat furnished, aod Governor Reed, of Fl rida, deolined to answer at all, thou/ he has forwarded to a member of t subcommittee several of his mossagi He protested against the invasion of t rights of the State of Florida. Gent ally where their inquiry has beeu resei ed, evaded, or ignored, they discover reasons for concoalment, which ct viuced them that officials are more cc cerned about their own dignity than tl of tho State. Ia South Carolina, t Governor has answered promptly, 1 sent such contradictory statements tl they could give little weight to ai The report concludes with u atntenn of the general financial condition of ' eleven States, as follows: Debts and 1 bilities in 1860, $102,516,778; iu 18 $222,848,132; increase since 1860, $1* 331,354. When the late insurrection States entered the rebellion, they h in trust funds, assets, and balam $70,147,747; these funds aud assets w on deposit or in stocks of banks, r roads, and other interual improvemei their contingent liabilities were seou by mortgages on lauds, in stocks, bot and interests in lien, or on tnrnpil railroads, and canals. The banks hu capital of over $61,000,000; coin, c $18,000,000; circulation, over $51,0 000. There were 8,044 miles of rail? which cost $237,376,097; the asset value of property was $4.363,030,! the estimated or assessed value of ala $1,634,105,341; value of property, olueive of slaves, 82,723,825,006. cording to tho estimate of Secre Belkoap, the Confederate debt on 1st of April, 1865, was about $2,2 297,823; tho total ascertained loss by rebellion in property, assets, and dt State and Confederate, $5,262,303, There waru debts doe tho merchant the North from those of tho South goods purchased and consumed money loaned, estimated when the began at $300,000,000. Add in tere 1866 and the sum would be $108,000, total Stato debt und disabilities exit and prospeotive and Confederate and commercial debt, $2,976,145,95! Here was a bardon which must orushed the people of tho South, reduocd them to general ba uk ru | lt was $218,456,384.47 greater thar national debt at its maximum, $247, 949.85 moro than the assessed vail all property in tho States iu 18G0, slaves, and $1.372,743,326.90 more tho assessed value of ai! property i: eleven States in 1865. They hud ne inonoy nor credit, nor suQioieut n of subsistence. If the Goverutnen left tho people of the South to the: vices, they must have fallen into am and ruin. But before the war ei the Governmont had begun to c! shelter and care for the destitute ol colors, and millions wero distribut supplies. In 1865, a bureau was Hised for this purpose, and expend relief, education, and aid to the p of both colors aud all conditions, 230,277.40. Millions moro were do by charitable associations andcitiz j tho North." The document concludes with A I of the election laws of late insurre ary States. -. --- Judgo R. li. Carpenter, tho "Re candidate for Governor of this S the last election, is on his way t Hampshire, to stump tho Stole in I of Democracy. ~*TBE Ei"rJ?fcir/o**o? are those who ooo tend that there are such things as moral epidemics, such as were exhibited in witchcraft, and in other kinds of fanaticism and delusions. There certainly seems to be at this time, and has been for the last ten years, an epidemic of officiai defalcations, embez? zlements and thefts in different parts of the United States. The cases sro not sporadic, as ia old times, when S wart wont was looked noon as a phenomenon, and the whole country was scandalized that there should be a public defaulter. Now, these rascalities are as familiar items of intelligence as fires and railroad accidenta. In a single oopy of a news? paper, we find enoh instances of official dishonesty as the following, illustrating the prevalence of a elaas of orimes which were formerly almost unknown: Treasurer Blakely, of Santa Cruz Coun? ty, California, who claimed to have been robbed of County funds by masked men, has been held to trial for robbing the County himself. Marshall Lews, ac? cused of stealing money from letters in the Boston Post Office, has given bail of $10,000 to answer in March. C. W. White, deputy postmaster ut Barnesville, Va., has been arrested for robbing mails. James M. Blackburn, Clerk of the United States Circuit and District Courts ut Covington, is in custody on the charge of misappropriating $12,000 of Government fuuds, and not being able to raise $20,000 bondB, has been thrown into jail. James Biggs, late United Htates Deputy Marshal at Covington, is held to answer for a $3,000 deficit in bis aooouuts. Ex-Congressman William B. Stokes has been convicted of misde? meanor in prosecuting claims for com? pensation before Congress while a mem? ber nf that body. Maroer, the default? ing Philadelphia County Treasurer, and his accomplice. Yerkes, a broker, have been sentenced to prison and heavily fined-a sample, by tho way, of justice to public misdoers worthy of immediate and universal imitation. It is stated in the same paper that John O'Connor, clerk in a railroad office at Sorantoc, has vanished simultaneously with $10,000 of the company's funds. How far the con? tagious example of poblio officials of a higher grade has helped to demoralize more obsoure offenders, cannot be known. But tho little sensation that the exposure of the largest corruptions iu Federal and State Govern menta causes indicates that the gangrene of offioial diBUoncHty has worked BO thoroughly into the system, that au apathy and in? sensibility like that of death bas set iu. [Baltimore Sun. THE POPE AND BOMB.-It is reported in a German paper, the Vaterland, that in a recent conversation with some Bo-1 man Catholic visitors, Count Andrasay, the Austrian Primo Minister, suggested that there was no place now for the Pope but Borne; that it was the position and the policy of Austria to maintain her present frieudly relations with Italy, and that "he knew of no Catholic power, not excepting Austria, which was in a posi? tion to offer au asylum to the Pope." A horrible accident ocourred sta grain mill, at Elkhorn Creek, near Sterling, 111., a few days ago. During a high wiud, the dooring of the upper part of the building gnve way and precipitated large quantity of grain to the floor be? low. The stove, around which four per? sons were sittiug, was broken and the grain caught fire. Three of the men escaped, but Dr. W. K. Palmer was fixed the fallen timber, and w.ns literally roasted alive. Tho over crowding in London is so great that the same bed is often occu? pied by two setB of people during tho same night. Certain classes attending the theatres every night-ballet-dancers, sapes and the mob which is attached to a pautomime-let their beds to market people, who are just ready to get up and go to work when the theatrical folks oomo home. A German, named Bringman, living iu Baltimore, buried some turnips and other vegetables in his cellar, to preservo them from freezing. Recently while digging for them, he discovered a box of gold and silver coin, of old issue, amounting to about $7,000. The samo lucky individual reoently inherited a for 1 tune, and within a few weeks bas drawn a large sum in a lottery. A TEN MILLIONAIRE ORPHAN.-Mrs. William B. Astor, who died in New York on the 16th instant, in her seventy-third year, leaves $10,000,000 to her half orphan grand child, Miss Ward, who, since ber Mother's death, has been a fa? vorite in the millionaire's family. This $10,000.000 is her mother's private for tuue, of which her grand-mother wus executrix. A MISTAKE.-A young gentlomnn of au adjoining County presented his ! sweetheart with a pair of those new ? fangled motalio garters, thinking they were bracelets, l?o found his mistake when he asked her to try them un. He han ninnped visiting that girl. MAN MISSING-Tho Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel learns that Foster Blodgett I has suddenly and mysteriously departed from Atlanta, feeling a little ticklish on the subject of a judioiul investigation of his railroad exploits. A young lady at Fond du Lao was married without shoes or stockings on, tho othor day, in accordauco with an old whim that such an uct would bring good luok. Call a lady a ''chicken," and, teu to ono, she is angry with you. Tell her she is no "chicken," and, ten to ono, she is angrier. "What's in a dress?" says a popular writer.
