THE April number of The Galaxy, best of all the monthlies, makes its welcome appearance "on time." MAHK TWAIN'S "Memoranda" will be discontinued after this month, and for it will be substituted a new humorous department under the special charge of DONN PIATT, to which other writers will contribute, and for which the editor of Ike Galaxy solicits articles and paragraphs adapted to snch a department.

TIIE debate in the Senate on Saturday, ought to convince every one, who does not already know, that there is most urgent need of immediate legislation and prompt execution for llie suppression of the Ku.Klux. Congress can pass a law, in an hour, calculated to meet this awful exigency. It should be done without a moment's delay. The blood of innocent victims will be on the heads of Senators and Representatives who postpone or defeat BUch action. And this is all the business that is imperatively needed Jit this serpigo. We hope both Houses will give this question immndiate attention, and then go home.

•TOHN TYRE, P. M. at Wabash, lately contributed a pair of second-hand pants to a poor family. Fourteen children were provided with suits from the voluminous folds, and there was still enough left for a vest pattern for the head of the family.—Ind. Muror. |Our. friend of the Mirror is correct, so far $&-jjhe, goes. He omits, however, to mention the fact that ADAM TOREPAUGH purchased the seat of those pants and fitted it up with poles, guys, flags, etc., as a tent for his great combination show. ADAM thinks the seating capacity of this pavilion exceeds that of any other in the business.

WHEN you hear a man boasting of his honestyt you, can safely conclude that he needs Watcl&ng. When one thinks it necessary to assert, upon all occasions, that his veracity is of the highest order, you may put him down as a promising candidate for perjury. When a woman proclaims her virtue, depend upon it she is not above suspicion. As a rule, all such pretensions are the effort of an uneasy conscience to hide a conscious defect. AiAl this rale holds in journalism as in other walks of life. The editor who thinks it politic to continually remind his readers how very "independent" he is, is only telling those who know anything of human nature that his columns and his pen are at the service of anybody who will pay for them. The real possessor of any good quality of heart or mind, never boasts of its possession, but trusts to his conduct towards his fellow men to show his character.

Drop San Domingo.

If the Republican voters of this State could get the ear of our Senators and Representatives in Congress, they would say to them: "Drop San Domingo, and go home." Whatever may be- the arguments presented by the Commissioners in favor of annexation, the public temper is in no condition to weigh them hastily. Persistence in tliis scheme, under existing circumstances, cannot be wise. We say, then, to the Republican delegation from Indiana, in both Houses, the goodf brave men who have placed you where you are, who, in most instances have done more for you than you have done for them, ask you, in the most earnest manner, not to jeopardize the futureOf the Republican party, not to incur the risk of the Country's losing all that ckinoobIeptirtjrJM8 gained for her during the eventful years of ita glorious history. Thus far, we*have no dissen" sions that may not be readily healed

Our strength ia. not seriously impaired, and, with prudent management, Republican ascendency will be assured for mimy years. Iftit the signs of the times unmistakably show that the path of prudence and safety dotftnOt lie in the direction of San Domingo. 1Phe Senator who votes for the ratification) ttf^he-tiekty, with the full knowledge thaf. jap -violating the wishes of his cdnstQNitata,cwili do an act that he will surely regret.

What Do Ypu Want

Discontented and "soreheaded" Repub licans may find profitable reading in this article from the New York Times: "There are Republicans who hare nursed their grievances so assiduously as to find cause for great rejoicing in the Democratic victory in New Hampshire It is, they say, a good lesson for Gen, Grant—it will bring him to his sense?, Ac., 4c. Well, now, it is very ciooveni«lt to havensoapgoat at- a time like this,and who so fitting to be made use* of in that-way as the President? There he is in a conspicuous position, and it is the simplest thing in the world to ,n»aJce him responsible for eVerything~tbat goes wrong. It is doubly conveni&t-fcecause it saves you, who make the charges, from taking any blame to yourself. As for the justice of the course, who thinks of do ing President Grant justice? Np, no^-it suits,the whim of many Republicans far better to charge him with all kinds of offenses, and to read those generous and manly attacks opon his father, his wife, and all who belong to him, which are prepared from time to time by the professional libelers of the press,- and flinch pass muster in these aays for political criticism.

If President Grant is "all wrong" at this particular crisis, where is your man who is "allright?" Bring him out. Let us haye a lookM hint M? hyjnake him a "dark herte?" Nobody waits to prevent you "saving the country.'' If you have got anybody stowed awav in the background who can reconcile the discordant sections of the Republican party, and give to each section all that it demands, for pity's sake let us know who he is. Where is your one man who is today more entitled to the confidence of the country than this much-abused President, whom you first dragged from a post with which he was well satisfied, to make President. and whom you then proceeded _to scold, misrepresent, and abuse? Politics is a practical business, not a. jack-o'lan-tern, to be pursued by fanatics, sentimentalists, and "soreheads," with the public at their heels. We must have some man at the head of affairs, and not an abstraction hatched by doctrinaires. Now, where are you going to find a man—you Republicans who go &bout raving at Gen. Grant —likely to do all that you require of him? Why, if you cOuld produce such a mAn by evolution, or natural selection, or any

other device of the philosophers, you would be pelting hin£ with mud before six months were over. "It is all President Grant's fault." Very good—then of course you have some policy to suggesP which would restore harmony and enthusiasm to the Republican ranks? Let us UAnM WHAT

Wendell Phillips speaks first. What does he take to be the panacea for all our troubles? Here you have it red hot.from the National Standard of this week: "Nothing short of shooting half f^dozen Southern millionaires at the drumhead will awe the Ku Klux into submission." Mr. Phillips prints this new remedy in capital letters, but it looks to us sufficiently fierce in ordinary type. And again he talks of sweeping "rebellion with the besom of destruction and leave it no rajet but the sword until every now living white man is in his grave." Mr. Phillips puts no commas in this sentence, nor do we, for it is clearly meant to be read in & breathless manner. Now is this the magic jolicy which would have prevented New ilampshire going Democratic! The New York Evening Post—as thorough-going a Democratic paper as you will meet with anywhere—TOWS that even the comparatively moderate measure, introduced into Congress for" the restoration of order at the South, would "fall with the certainty of doom that always falls on madness in power." A charming sentence, although we cannot pretend-to &ay what it means— except that Wendell Phillips' specific would not take with the Post. So here we have the doctors quarrelling over the patient, and protesting that each other's prescriptions would be certain to put him out of the world. Republicans are everywhere wrangling about the differences which they have created for themselves, and then they go shouting at the President, and tell him that it is all his fault they are living like dogs, whose nature it is, as we Know on the very best authority, to bark and bite.

Let those Republicans who are clamoring for the "impeachment" of Grant and the dissolution of their .party, come out ilainly and tell us what it is they want. _f you don't like the President's policy why don't you suggest abetter one?—not on a single point Only, mark you, but upon the entire range of questions with 1- _l_ —. 41*a

which a man in the President's position is necessarily required to deal. It is easy enough to keep on nagging at a public officer but can you produce a policy better than that which he is pursuing? If not, the best thing you can do is to lock yonrself up in a room and have your minister come and talk to you, or read you a few chapters out of some good book, or else you had better* fight it out w^th your own shadow, and not go forth like a prophet of evil into the public streets, wringing your hands and tearing your hair, and calling out for "more gore" and a few Southern heads,—as Mr. Phillips does far instance.—by way of freshening thinss UD a bit.

T. BLACK SEA CONFERENCE. 5 LONDON, March 17.—Protocols of the proceedings of the Black Sea question will be on the table of the Hoose of Commona to^ii^it. They are sinied by the plenipotentiaries of the seven Powers represented. Their general features are o/a mciliatory tone on the part of Russia, willingness on the part of Turkey to accept deneutralization of the Black Sea, and deference of the Conference to the wishes of either power. The Conference met Janriary 17th./L^rd Granville was chosen president. 1 Granville regretted the absence of a plenipotentiary from Fsance, and declared that the object of the Conference was to examine the Black Sea question without partizanship, and to discuss With perfect'liberty thl Prussian jropoSals for revision of the treaty of !?aris. Baron Von Brunnow made a statement which contained no trace of imperative tone towards Gortschakoffs circular. Brunnow's speech was most conciliatory throughout, and was responded to in the same spirit by Mansonras Pasha. The Conference then went to work on the declaration, to the effect that plenipotentiaries recognize it as an essential principle of the sight of nations, that no Power can shake off engagements of a treaty of modify its stiM^ations, except with the assent of the, contracting parties. On this a friendly understanding was arrived at, and on March 13tli Due De Broglie gave his consent to it.

The second meeting took place January 24th, when Brunnow more fully stated that changes had taken place since 1856, and Urged that all treaties should be judged by new considerations arising in the interval. He contended that the treaty of Paris really perpetuated irritations by wounding Russian national sentiments.

The Turkish Ambassador combatted the arguments of the Russian ambassador, and declared that Turkey was fully satisfied with tin treaty, but if other Powers thooght it right to admit the Russian demand on that Government, and would give guarantees equivalent and compatible with the rights and security of the Ottoman Empire, he was authorized to concur. Other plenipotentiaries^ while recognising the justice of the Turkish objections, consent must be a condition of equivalents.

At the third sitting, February 3d, on the treaty, four articles were proposed by Earl Granville.

The second article gave to Turkey power to introduce ships of war of the non-.ri-verain Powers into the Black Sea only, if compelled to do so. for security of the Ottoman Empire. Mansonras Basha objected to the phrase non-riverain as restrictive to Turkey, and offensive to Russia. Along debate generally in oppositian followed, the representative of the Turkish Government pleading his instructions as very peremptoiy. At the same meeting the secondary question of thfr Danube Commission was first mooted, and it was agreed to insert the arrangement therein in the principal treaty.

At the fourth meeting, February 7th,' no instructions had been received by the plenipotentiaries, and nothing was done. At the fifth meeting, which was held on the 13th instant. Duke De Broglie was introduced. He declared the French Government saw no sufficient reason to modify the treaty of Paris, but now^ it willingly accepted the arrangement which had been partially concluded. The Italion Minister met the objection of the Turkish Minister by proposing anew article, in which the words "friendly" and "allied Powers" were substituted for non riverain Powers. This amer dment was accepted freely by Turkey and the other Powers. There were no d- (Terences on other articles. After their completion the Turkish and Russian p!enipotentaries announced that they were authorized to conclude the convention, abrogating the stipulations of .the treaty of Paris relative to tli6 number nnd strength of their respective fleets in the Black Sea.

Messrs. Davis,Stevenson, JohnsLouand Lewis, on the Democratic side, havii addressed the Chair.

Mr. Lewis said the condition of his State (Vn^inia) was as pacific a hcl orderly' as that of any State of the Unioo. He denied that any Ka Kltrx organization existed there.

FITE-TWENTY BONDS.

The Tribune's Washington special says the Secretary of the Treasury is engaged perfecting plans for calling in very soon a large amount of 5-20 bonds. How soon this will be done it is not yet determined, but it is no secret that preliminary arrangements are now in coarse of preparation. Doubtless the promptness with which the new loan is going off has instigated this move. Vft

CONDITION OF CANADA.

An Ottawa correspondent writM that the facts and figures introduced in the debate upon the financial and commercial condition, present*.and prospective, of Canada, are, to say the leafet,'not flattering. Sir Francis Hincks, present finance minister, will be remembered as having increased its debt when he held that position $25,000,000 in four years, a course which pushed the country into bankruptcy, from which* it has hardly recovered Under his mangement again the debt is daily on the increase. By tabulating receipts and expenditures it appears that there is an average annual deficit since 1841 of three" trillion, five hundred thousand dollars, or more than thirty per cent, of the average annual revenue of the country. Theincfceasi of debt since 1867, when the pesent Goverdment was established, amounts to nearly $240,000,000.

North Carolina has been'stated at-40,000, but it was certainly 10,000, though any reader of the testimony would supple it much larger. In Rockingham county, in that State, 62 of these outrages have been committed. In one case the magistrate of a town in that county had testified to the hanging of a colored preacher at a late hour in the night, by 75 armed men, on horseback. The dangling body of the victim was found suspended from a tree in frontof-the Court JSonsie, with a papellinned on it, on which were the words,' "Beware ye guilty, both blackand white, K. K. K."

A poor half idiot negro who had seen some ef these men, was drowned several days afterwards to their detection by him. Thirty-eight similar cases had beep been shown to have occurred in the same vicinity. Two other instances as shown by the testimony. A band disguised in Alamance county had taken a colored niah from his house, whipped and shot hinj, and then compelled all the negroes in the neighborhood to swear that they would never vote the Republican ticket. The killing of the Sheriff had been shown to have been previously agreed on in secret. He desired his Democratic1 friends to pe converted to the bdief intfrtained upon the Republican side, that these outrages should be stopped, and with that view he submitted and had read various extracts from Democratic news-' papers in the South, denouncing the outrages as implitic and heinous, and call-: ing for severe measures ofpunisljment for their suppression. As showing the morals prevailing among themselves, he bw read a card from a member of the *Ku Klux, in reply to an article in aii Alabama paper, the point of: which was, thit, the writer did. not think it an offense ^o kill a negro, and. Democratic newspaper

extracts were also cited{ detailing tie particulars of a political riot in AIabai when four colored men were killed odt right and fifty-four wounded, and fropi Rome, Georgia, advising Ku Klux not to waste their terrible energy until theji were ready for a great movement, whin' the word of command would be given. The murder of Major Crane, at Jackson, Miss., an ex-Federal officer, by Yerger, and similar instances, were referred to M. showing that every victim of such oaiiw-' ges was a Republican, every perprtratpr a' Democrat, and that no man thr^u^Hout the whole South had yet been convict^ for adysach offense.

After the close of Mr.ShermanV, ifemarks, his resolutions were laid aside, for Mr. Anthony's pending resolution limit«ing the business of the session to the'de-. ficiencv appropriation .bill, the resolution for a joint committee of investigationjijto afiaire at the. South, »»d.

PROCLAMATION BY PRESIDENT THIEH8. LONDON, March 19, 2:80 A. —President Thiers has issued a proclamation appealing to the reason and patriotism of the citizens of Paris to preserve order.' 4 He says he is informed that the malcontents of Montmartre have planted their gars

as to demolish the dwellings of *r

their fellow-citizens. He declares by such acts as these that the Republic is fatally compromised, because a Republic accompanied by disorder will be lost. He insists thut the present government is really Republican and no friend of the Republic should strike at it. The government will take the cannon from those men, who, misled by designing politicians, seek to inaugurate civil war. He draws a picture :y ol the deplorable results of their doings, showing how the reviving commerce ot the city has been stopped, and shops deserted. He continues, the government hoping the malcontents will return to their duty as good citizens and obey the laws, still witfiholds orders to proceed to 4 extreme measures to free the country of ijy the new enemy, but will be determined I to act when necessary, and deliver the principals over lo justice. The govern- i, ment relies on the co-operation of all good citizens. The proclamation concludes, "after this warning, we shall proceed to force peace, if necessary, at all hazards."

UNFORTUNATE EVENTS IN PARIS. LONDON, March 19—3 A. M.—Events of the most important character have taken place in Paris, and the situation is ,g$ hourly becoming graver. The Govern- 's ment following up the proclamation of President Thiert, at midnight on Friday ~j sent a detachment of troops, and gens d'armes to occupy the positions of the insurgents in Montmartre, Considerable cannon were removed and the gens ii d'armes made some 400 prisoners. In the morning the National Guards from Belleville and Monmartre, with unarmed soldiers of the line, arrived on the scene, released the prisoners* Gen. Vinoy who was in command of the government forces had posted a cordon of troops around the hill of Montmartre, and planted mitrai}lenses at the approaches, and his sentinels prevented all persons from ascendthe hill. The batteries of mitrailleuses were soon surrounded by angry groups, who demanded to know why the authorities distrusted the people, and if it was he in on to as a re 5 diers, when asked if they meant to fire cn the citizens, made no reply, and soon a general fraternisation commenced, and the people allowed to draw the mitrail-? leuses aside and ascend the heights. Com-

ti.

panies of soldiers on the summit frater-

nized with the Nationals, who were guarding the cannon still in their possession. As fresh troops arrived on the ground the people shouted to them, "Reverse arms," and the order was obeyed. At 10 o'clock the Nationals held the ground again, and prevented all unarmed persons from going up the hill.

At the same hour a serious conflict occurred in the Place Pigalle, at the end of', the street leading from the heights.

At 11 o'clock many battalions of the.. Nationals iully organized, marched into Montmaitie, thawing "Vive La Repub— lie." The districts were then wholly ing|:f posses.-iou of the Nationals, the soldiers' having desertc-d, not a gen armee nor a single regular visible. All the National Guards weie amply supplied wilh cartridges, and appeared detei mined lo ielain their cannon and hold their position on the heights. The purposes of the insurgents are still unknown. Their main ob-^ jeot just-now icsistMce .to the liovernment. Crowds in Montmartre and Belief ville, however, are unatjimods in their^ clamors against il»e' Afiembly at- Bor--deaux. They demand its immediate dissolution, acd the^eclian of a o^' l' dy, which shaU bij, inTaris.
