TUESDAY, JUNE 0, 1871.

WE hear but little, latterly, denunciatory of the celebrated Ku Klux Bill.—Evans-

ville Journal. Of course you do not hear mucli about it now, for the thing was so unnecessary and uncalled for, that ten days after its passage, its supporters made the discovery that there was no "state of circumstances" upon which it could operate. The President issued his proclamation declaring his intention to enforce the provisions of this bill, and in a few days thereafter ordered his "Cottage by the Sea," to be fitted up, and in it, he and his family are now safely ensconsed for the summer. There never having been any necessity for such an unconstitutional measure, when the Com-mander-in-Chief come to put it in force, he found there was nothing there to force against. He could not proclaim martial law, for there was no uprising of the people to justify it. He could not suspend the writ of habeas corpus, for there was only here and there a Ku Klux he could get hold of, and the civil authorities of the State governments were enough to arrest, try and punish those. So the President found the "great emergency" did not exist, and lie could find ample time to attend to all warlike movements necessary under this bill while enjoying the beach at Long Branch.

The mistake about this legislative monstrosity, known as the Ku Klux bill, is that it was passed too early. Being intended wholly and entirely for political effect, it should have been postponed until a few weeks before the elections of 1872 then, perhaps, the people could have been kept deceived long enough to enable the demagogues who passed it to be further retained in office. But being so long before that election, the honest men of the country will have ample time to examine the whole case thoroughly, and to heap their anathemas on the partisan tricksters who passed so unconstitutional a law, and 011 the Ad-s minitration that supports it.

We are satisfied the editor of the Evansville Journal ill not hear much more about the Ku Klux bill, If the leaders of the Grant party can banish it from the minds of the people. A measure so palpably unnecessary, and so wholly unconstitutional, so altogether partisan and ineffably demagogical, can not bear the daylight more than a few weeks at a time.

So MUCH has been said and written about the printing press that people almost invaribly expect to hear of something which is only a repetition of what they know beforehand when this heading attracts their attention. Yet there are a few facts which have lately been developed, and which possess general interest. Thus, in the production of of books, Germany takes the lead of all nations with reference to quantity, and, perhaps to quality as well. France ranges 1 or until late events ranged) second in the number.of new books England tliiid, and the United States fourth. This is as far as books are concerned, but as regards newspapers and periodicals, this table is exactly reversed, putting us at the head of the line for number one of publishing the greatest number of newspapers of all kinds after which comes England, number two France, number three and finally Germany, number four. Reckoning the number of copies of the published works printed, instead of the number of new books, we also take the lead for while in Germany but few editions of even the most popular and cheapest works reach a circulation of twenty-five thousand copies, it is nothing strange for our leading publishing houses to issue and successfully dispose of editions numbering hundreds of thousands of copies.

M. THIKKS' Paris residence, which was demolished not long since by order of the Commune, was a model of culture, art, and comfort in its interior arrangements. His study contained a handsome library, while upon the walls here and there were hung well-executad copies in water colors of the great masterpieces of Italian art, most of them Raphael's, and on shelves, in recesses, and on tables were scattered reproductions in bronze of the choicest specimens of Italian art. The house throughout overflowed with costly works of art, bronzes, pictures, enamels, medallions, porcelain, rarely-bound books, engravings, cabinets, and curious furniture. On the 7th instant, previous to the demolition, all the movable property in the house was carted away by order of the Commune, and every precaution was taken that not the smallest artide should be abstracted by the crowd outside. The people in the crowd jestingly remarked while the removal of the furniture was in progress that M. Theirs' shells would never reach his own house.

COMPLAINT

Jt is committing,.

P$m% #08

is made that the testimony

being taken by the Ku Klux Committee relates to things that occurred a year ago. What is the use of complaint? This committee was appointed, not to investigate Ku Kluxism, but to prepare a case -against it. It is not a judicial, but a pros--1 ecuting institution. It is all an electioneering affair and, hence, it is absurd for anybody to take the troulfle to complain at any of the irregularities and injustices

THE Chicago limes, says: The reappearance in different parts of this State of the remarkable iusect called the "seventeen-year locust," furnishes another corroboration of the supposed seven-teen-year habits of these cheerful devourers. It was exactly seventeen years ago—namely, in the summer of 1854— that vast swarms of insects overspread many counties in Illinois, devouring almost every green thing, and stripping whole forests of their summer foliage. Another noteworthy circumstance connected with that locust visitation is the fact that the summer of 1854 is still remembered as one of the hottest summers ever experienced in this region. The "heated term" began early and continued late. The present season, so far, has borne a very close and remarkable resemblance to the early part of the summer of 1854. Will the weather savans hence argue that the "seventeenyear locusts" and the recurrence of hot seasons have any relation to each other?

WAS

stated by Mr. Vance Smith, in

a speech in Birmingham, that the new revision of the Bible by the Canterbury Convocation, of which Mr. Smith is the only Unitarian member, while it will result in a greatly improved version— changes, in fact, having been made in almost every verse—will not read unlike the existing translation, the old style having been adhered to as closely as possible. "Any one hearing it read," Mr. Smith said, "would hardly know that it was anew version." This will be grateful news to those who, from a literary point of view, have doubted the expedi. ency or even good taste of a substantially new translation for it was naturally apprehended that wide deviations from the standard text might result in confusion, and impairing the value of existing Biblical literature.

NOT many individuals, or corporations even, can afford to lose from $50,000,000 to §75,000,000, and yet come out in the end all right, as if nothing happened. Such is said, however, to have been the case with the Rothschilds When the late Franco-German war broke out, this house had every confidence in the success of the French arms, and made its investments accordingly, and had the result been as the shrewd financiers anticipated, their profits would have been simply enormous. But for the once they were mistaken, and but for their quick counter operations and reinvestments, their losses would have been thrice as large. Under these circumstances, it is consoling to the London member of the House to have won the Derby.

WHEN Dr. Livingstone gets home from—we do not exactly know where— it is "25 days' journey south of Ujiji"—he will find, we are told not less than seventeen decorations, orders of nobility, knighthood ,&c., awaiting him—the honors awarded by various European Governments to this plucky and benevolent man. Whatever he may be authorized to wear on the outside of his coat, he will carry tv Ktouthoart within it worth all th*» ribands, red, white, or blue, and all the jewels of whatever water in the world. Dr. Livingstone's geographical discoveries are brilliant enough to blind most of us to the moral purpose of entesprises having for their main object the elevation of savage races.

THE villians who secretly directed the terrible deeds of the Paris Communists have found safety in flight to England. They are old confirmed revolutionists of the worst French type, and are not in any proper sense political refugees. They were guilty of most inhuman crimes during the insurrection, and well deserve the halter but John Bull will, of course, indignantly demur to giving them up. Perhaps when he learns that they are said to be planning to burn half the Capitals of Europe, and may be tempted in their depravity to give Louden to the flames, lie will be more ready to deliver them up, or order them away.

The Ohio Resolutions.

Men of all political parties in this country have awaited with anxious interest the proceedings of the Ohio Democratic State Convention, which met at Columbus

011

were equally interested with Democrats in the proceedings of the convention. It was rightly supposed that if the Democracy of Ohio should be found in accord with the sentiments expressed by the Democrats of Pennsylvania in their recent State Convention, concerning the acceptance of the three latest amendments to the Federal Constitution, many questions which have for the last five or six years divided the great political parties'of the countfy would be permanently settled, and our citizens would turn their attention to grave issues of financial and administrative reform which now earnestly press for adjustment.

The Democrats of Ohio have spoken plainly and boldly. They have declared for equality of civil and political rights. They have, as they ought to have done, denounced the fraudulent and corrupt measures by which the amendments were made apart of the supreme law, and they have, as they ought to have done, recognized the fact that the amendments are a part of the Constitution, and as such must be obeyed and enforced. We believe it to be entirely safe to assume that every Democratic State Convention in the country will indorse this idea. The expressions of the press in the Southern States leave little room for doubt as to the action of the Democracy in regard to this issue. The white men of the South are most directly and deeply interested in its settlement, and they say it must be closed, and the pretence removed under which their rights and the rights of their States have been stricken down by the usurpations and infamies of the central powers at Washington.

The question is not whether our National and State governments will become purer and better by permitting the negroes to vote, but whether we can preserve our present form of Government by denying them theelective franchise. The opposition of the Democratic party to the Constitution as it is will result in the continuance of the ruling party in power and its contempt for constitutional restraint, for the rights of the

States,

and the liberties of our citi

zens has been so frequently exhibited, and in so insolent a manner, that the ablest and best men of that party have said that Congressional usurpation must cease, or our political system must go down.—ChicagoTimes.

THEODORE TILTONIS out in the Golden Age for Horace Greeley for the next President, saying in concluding an article on the subject: "Our first and early choice for the next Presidency is this large minded and humane statesman—the Benjamin Franklin of his time."

THE DARTEN CANAL.—The survey of the Isthmus of Darien is approaching completion, and it is stated that Captain Selfridge will report in favor of a route starting from Cupica Bay, and after running over a line of 15 miles, making a junction with the Aratao river, which can be made serviceable for a canal. The cost is estimated at $85,000,000. ,3.

LONDON is goiug to send over an excursion of editors. This is well for London. It is just, possible that London editors may see a kind and degree of newspaper enterprise in this country that will spur them on to treat their trans-Atlantic readers a little more liberally in the future.

rLBY GOODS.

THE QUESTION DISCUSSED.

The following conversation recently toot place between parties living in this city, and being reported to lis, we give it as nearly as possible word for word.

Mrs. B. to Mrs. R.—I saw you with anew dress on the other day as you were passing my house. How much did you pay for it?

Mrs. B.—Why, they asked me 75 cents a yard for it!

Mrs. R.—Perhaps you saw it at some other place than where I got mine.

Mrs. B.—Why, where did you get yours?

Mrs. R.—I bought it at the NEW YORK CITY STORE.

Mrs. B.—Do you then trade at Foster Brother's I wouldn't buy a cent's worth there.

Mrs. R.—Pray, why not? I always buy where I can buy the cheapest, and I am sure there is no pleasanter place in town to trade than Foster Brothers. They are polite and agreeable, and take a great deal of trouble to suit their customers, and are never impudent to you, as they are at some other stores in town, if you don't happen to get suited.

Mrs. B.—But I have been told that they didn't sell as cheap as they advertised to do, and that if I went there to trade I wouldn't get goods as cheap as they promised to sell them.

Mrs. R.—Why, they constantly ask you in their advertisements to cut them out and bring them with you that may see for yourself whether they do or not sell as they advertise. Some of the other dry goods merchants have been stuffing you. They all hate the New York City Store because it has put down prices. I have been surprised to hear certain dry goods merchants in town, who claim to be gentlemen, talking in the most false and slanderous manner of the firm of Foster Brothers.

Mrs. B.—I have sometimes thought myself that what they said was hurting them and helping Foster Brothers, for I am tola that the latter are now doing a larger business than ever. How Jong have you been trading with them, and have you always found them reliable and their goods as represented

Mrs. R.—I have traded with them ever since they opened, and have always been well satisfied. Once, however, I got a linen lawn that they warranted would wash. After I got it partially made—the breadths all gored—I thought I would cut off a small piece and try it. I was disappointed in finding that it faded quite badly. I was, I must admit, a little put out about it, for I knew that as it was cut out they would not exchange it, for I had already had a case of this kind with another store in town that had sold me a dress that was warranted to wash, but which faded, and when I went back with it, they not only wouldn't allow me anything for it, but threw in with the refusal an unusual amount of impudence. However, I determined to take this dress back also, and give Foster Brothers a "blessing" at least for warranting it to me. Going in I happenad to meet Mr. Foster himself, and I commenced at him in a manner neither "child-like" nor "bland." He asked me in a very quiet manner to explain the matter to him, adding, "There is nothing we dislike more than to make mistakes, but there is nothing tliat gives us more pleasure than correcting them." I explained the matter to him, when he said: "As our clerk warranted it to wash, we are, of course, in honor bound to make up your loss to you, whatever that may be. We would exchange it, only it is cut into so many pieces." You may judge I was surprised when he offered to return me half my moneg. I suppose I ought to have been satisfied with that, but really the dress was of no value to me, and I told him so. "Then," said he, "we will take the goods back just as they are and return you ALL your money."

Mrs. B.—You certainly were treated well, but do you think they still do things in that way? As your dress was lawn, you probably bought it when they first started. Perhaps they do different now.

Mrs. R.—I have every reason to think this is one of the settled principles upon which they do business. You must have certainly seen that they constantly advertise to return the money for all goods bought at their store that are not in every way satisfactory to tne buyer. No other store in town will do that.

Mrs. B.—Now you speak of it, I do remember that they have been so advertising. But I have one objection to these gentlemen, of which I have not yet spoken, and that is that they are so personal in their advertisements.

Mrs. R.—Yes I heard Mrs. T. talking in that same way the other day, and I havn't a bit of patience with either of you. You go and listen for half an hour to the low, personal abuse heaped upon these men by some of their competitors, and then you profess to be shocked and are virtuously indignant because this firm have simply dared to say what they have repeatedly offered to prove—that for years our dry goods stores have been charging unreasonably high profits. No one knows what they state to be a fact better than you do, for you and Mrs. T., and Mrs. H., and several others that I know, used to go to Indianapolis and Chicago for most all your dry goods previous to Foster Brothers bringing down the prices, and yet you stand by and see a combination entered into to drive them away from town, and you hear falsehoods told in regard to them weeks before they opened, and then after their opening you see everything thrown in their way whereby their business may be oifttructed—you see their small cash boys beaten in the streets—their goods piled at the door cut with knives—members of the firm assaulted in the streets— efforts made to entice away their help—and yet for all these you have not one single word of condemnation. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. For my part I glory in the pluck of these young men who do not propose to have any body ride rough-shod over them.

Mrs. B.—Really, Mrs. R., you are getting quite eloquent. I didn't know I should bring down'upon my head so sharp a lecture, or I should have kept quiet. However, I am not sure but that there is some truth in what you say, and I promise at least to think the matter over. Perhaps I may conclude to try this firm myself, for, to tell you the truth, my friends are many of them telling me I am foolish to pay the old 'stores 20 or SO per cent, more for goods than Foster Brothers are charging.

Mrs. R.—And I quite agree with them. Now to-morrow I am going around to the New YorK City Store to get some muslin, and if you will call around and go with me and examine the goods and inspect their prices, and see with what patience and pleasantness each customer in all the throng is waited upon, I will be very much mistaken if you don't make it in the future your favorite shopping place.

We submit the above without comment. Evidently Mrs. R. is quite able to take care of herself. We are certainly under great obligations to her for the good words she has spoken in our behalf. F. B.
