A cOTirsponclent of the New Yark Tribune writes Horn Washington, as follows? About afottnBb.t bclore his severe Illness, which compelled him to abandon, a one of the llanapt rs ot Impeachment, lne prosecution of I'te.dent Johnson, 1 spent an tifieruoon with Thaddeus btevrns. It whs the day before the "crpanizatlon of the Court of Impeachment, and be was in unusual spirits at the prospect of the, 8Tly Bticcess of a movement which he had inaugurated and pioneered. The prospect of ucerss at that time was very flattering to the Inipeachrrs: it 6temed that the trial, convic tion, and removal ot the l'rcsident would prove a lining climax to the career of hismon earnest and bitter enemy; and during our conversation I ventured to suggest to him that lie was almost ready to exclaim with Simeon, 4 Lord, let thy servant depart in peace." He answered, with out hesitation, that he had "no wish to go just jet." "My iricr.ds tell me," he added, "that I am trowini? old and weak, and must look forward to an early end to my career, but," and he spoke in a maiter-ot-tact tone and manner, "1 have no intention of djin? just jet." The spirit proved stronger than the flesh on that occasion, though his illness compelled him to relinquish an active part in a cause in which he was undoubtedly enlisted heart and soul; but he gradually sank from that time forward until his death on August 11. But though the flesh grew weak, eveu unto death, the spirit docs not appear to have laded in the least. If it were possible for him to describe his own death-bed he would doubtless Bay that "be died hurrah ing." "I am going to die like Nir-anor," he said to me on the occasion I have alluded to, "m har ness. I mean to die hurrahing." He attached a peculiar meaning to this last phrase, which was a tavorite one with him, and 1 have heard ot his using it on two or three occasions. Oue of these is noteworthy. A citi zen of Kno&vllle, Tenn., had visited him, and had convened to him a message of respect and good wishes from Governor Brownlow, who, by the way, is an admirable prototype of Mr, Stevens', possessing the same earnest, bitter, and indomitable spirit, alike in hate and in gene Tosity, and not unlike in (ugliness ol) person. When bis visitor was about taking his leave, Mr. Stevens said to him: "Give Governor Brownlow my respects; tell him I hope he will be restored to health, and live a long time, and that I say when he dies to die hurruhine." I first met Mr. Stevens In the room of the Impeachment Committee, just across the lobby from the Speaker's desk in the House of .Repre sentatives. When I went in the room the Com mittee was not, of course, in session. Only Mr. Stevens, General John A. Logan, and General Benjamin K.Butler were present. Mr. Stevens was at one end of the long com aiittee table, munching a soda-cracker, Logau and Butler were at the other end, digging with huge pen knives iuto a large ohee-e, and eating cheese and crackers with evident relish. Occasionally they mould address a word or two to Mr. Stevens on the all-absorbing question of impeachment, but at that moment the lunching hour their chief attention was dpvoted to the edibles. At the moment. Mr. S'.eveus was waiting for his servants to come to carry him to the carriage which usuallv conveyed him to his house, and, not being able to talk to him freely, and fully there, I made an engagement with him for an hour or two of the afternoon. While I was still in i ho Committee-room talking to him and his associates the tervants, two young and stalwart white men, came tor Mr. Stevens. Tbey took him up a he sat chair and all and conveyed him through the lobby to the Southern eniiance of the Capitol, wbere the carriage awaited him. The incident served to remind General Logan of an anecdote of Mr. Stevens which illustrated at once the humor and the indomitable spirit of the maa. General Logan stated that ou one occasion while he was being tuns carried by his servants who are both young men hardly in the prime of life, Mr. Stevens turned to them and said drily, but hesi tatingly, showing by his feeble manner and tone his exhausted eonduion: "Bo)?, I wonder how I'll get to the House when joh two die." He seemed to think he was never to die, but alwavs to be a member of the House. Puiing the first part of the interview some thing was said by me relative to Mr. Stevens' famous speech comparing Mr. Johnson to Charles I, and declaring the former's usurpations greater thaa those of the English King, and in any other country would have cost a king his head. He said that their cases were parallel in a erreat mauy particulars In the contending parties, the personal actors, and the pnncioles involved. Something of the same idea had occurred to my miud a day or two previous, while re'adinsr Gold win Smi'ti's "Three English Statesmen," then just published In this countrv, and which I had read in the cars en route to Washington. I inter rupted him by remarking that T had come to look upon him as the John Pym of this impeach ment, and read to him from a note book a passage from Smith's volume which seemed to me to apply as well to him as to Pym: "He had stood," sis Goldwin Smith, speaking of Pym, "among the foremost of thoje 'evil-tempered pints' who protested that the librrties of Par liament were not the favors ot the crown bat the birtbiinht of Englishmen, aud who. for so doing, were imprisoned without law. He had resolved, as he said, that he would rather suffer for speaking the truth than the truth should sutler itr want of his (peaking." I would have gone on with further quotations, but Mr. Ste vens interrupted me "Tlat is unimportant; the parallel is not strong not so stroug as I would like to think it for I greatly admire curt aud crusty old John Pym; it is not ai strong a parallel as Macaulay unconsciously drew twenty years ago. His arraignment of Charles I, in the first volume o; his history, applies with hardly a change of word, except names', to Andrew Johnson. It is really a remarkable document. Give me that volume of Macaulay, uud I will show vou the pasuges." I handed him a volume of If icaulay, and turn ing to some marked passages ne read rapidly, interpolating his explanation?. Much of this Mr. S. evens quoted. At length he fiuished with this pasaue. not read, but quoted from memory, wiih the book closed, and pronounced in a very Impressive manner: "When a country U in Hie situation that Eng land then was, when the kingly otlice is regarded with love and veneration, but the person who fills tbat cilice is bated and difitru-ted, it should seem that the course to be taken is obvious. Tho dignity of the oflice should bo preserved; the person should be discarded." Naturally enough alt this led to my asking him the chances lor the success of impeachment. He answered very promptly: "Good, I fhiuk, now. We managed to gel Butler's additional articles adopted to-day; aud I think Mr. Johnson will be convicted ou tliem. Before the adaption of those articles we hud n't a case at all - none at all, and an acquittal would surely follow if wo prosecuted ou the original articles only. Besides, there are some disagree ments aruong the Managers. Btnabam refused at first to serve with Butler, because of his lan suaee about Mrs. Hurrati's execution and the , hanging of an innocent woman. Then Boutwell was elected chief Manager, aud Bingham ob jected, claiming that he was entitled to the first place in the Committee because he had received the highest number ot votes In the House, although Colfax had distinctly stated that the vote would not decide the question of priority in the Committee. Then BoutwtU resigned to Icbcp peace ,ft tne Committee, Mid that disgusted me. But f n0pc, we shall convict 1 hope so." Dro.PVitK politicians and the impeachment ltJt'?,.ion (not as abruptly as 1 do here, how evf,,r), we came to speak of the course of the u.iwcpapeis towards him, and the vast amount or vituperation which nad oeen pourea on his head, lie remarked that he did not fret at tbat; it was all he could expoct, "for you know," he added, "that I have always been a plain sneaker myself." This led to my asking something in regard to his early life and his history. As I used the word "history" he glauced at me quickly, and I thought rather suspiciously, and directly said, "You newspaper men are always wanting to get at a man's history. As I said to A young girl who came to see me some time ago to collect materials tor a biography of me, I have no history. My life-long regret ia that I have lived so long and so uselessly." I ventured to suggest that his friends wero not disposed to agree with him in the use of the word "uselessly" as applied to his Congressional achievements. "I have achieved nothing In Congress. Until the war began I was a plodder without influence, and since it began I have been so radical that I had no control over anybody. Some of the papirs call me the 'Lender of the House,'. I only laueh at them. I lead them, yes; but ifeev never follow me or do as I want them until public opinion has sided with me." "No." he added, after a pause of a moment or two, "I'm not over proud ot my Congressional career. I like my State service better. I think and feel, 1 hope without vanity, that the crown ing utility of my life was the adoption of the Common (school System of Pennsylvania " He explained that in 1835 an attempt was made by the Democracy, for political purposes, to repeal the School law passed during the pre vious session of the Leeiblature, and they did succeed In repealing it in the Senate. They would have succeeded In the House but for a strong speech and "a good deal of filibuster ing," as Mr. Stevens remarked, on the part of himself and friends in the House, and Governor Wolt in the Eiecutive mansion. "That is the work," he said, resuming after bis explanation, "that I take most pleasure in recalling." 1 bad heard the fact mentioned that Mr. Stev ens had on one occasion given $100,000 to the poor of Lancaster couuty, and I asked him about the truth of it. "Oh ! it was not true," he said, "I have never been able to do any such thing. I have been a failure in everything. I have failed financially ihree times. The first was throuuh going bail and security, and it broke up a very fine prac tice 1 had in Adams couuty. The second was through carelessness of a partner in some Iron mills." There was much more said of a naturj not calculated to be of interest to the general public, and which it is not necessary to give here. All that he did and said con8rmed me in theopinion I bad long held of his posltiveacss and dogged ness; and I came away not only impressed with the power of the man, but fully satisfied, as I had been before, of the sincerity of his convic tions, and that idea was enough to make me admire and respect even if I did not fully agree with him. THE OBSEQUIES. Preparations for th Fuaaral of tbe Lata Tbaddeua Stevens at Washlagte aad Lancaster The Washington Star of last evening has the following account of the arrangements for the funeral of Thaddeus Stevens: "During the morning a number of his im mediate friends assembled in his parlors to accompany tbe remains to the rotunda of the Caiito). and about five minutes to 12 Company A, .Butler zouaves icoioreaj, arrived at tne residence. Piecisely at noon, Mr. Williams, the urdcrtaker, closed tbe collin, and the pall bearers, eight in number, lour white and tour colored, took up the corpse, and, preseded by Mr. Brown, Sergeant-ai-Arou ot the senate, General Ekin, Kev. Ur. Gray, Chaplain of the t-enaic, and Senator McDouall, of Arkansas, left the house. The Zouaves took position on cither side of the corpse as a guard of honor; aud then a number of friends among them Kev. Mr. Emery brought up the rear. The S recession walked slowly along B street to ew Jersey avenue, and thence to the east portico of tbe Cupitol, where a large number of persons had gathered. A detail of sixteen of the Capitol Police had previouly opened a passage-way and stood uncovered Vihile the corpse was carried in aud placed on the cataialque. The military immediately stacked arms and a guard of honor was set over the remains, and those desirous of viewing tbe face of the great commoner passed by the corpse, stooping a moment to gaze on the features. Immediately after the corpse had been set on the cataialque a magnificent wreath was placed on the cofhn by Mr. W. P. Smith, Superintend ent of the Botanical Garden. Among the first to look upon the corpse were Senator Patterson, Senator Sumner, many of the employees of the Capitol, and tome of our oldest citizens, the larger proportion being colored. The coffin is of losewood, covered with fine black cloth, and lined with white satin. Upon the lid is a large silver plate, bearing the following inscription: "Thaddeus Stevens. Born April 4th, 1792. Died August llth, 18G8, at midnight." The plate Is in the form of a shield, handsomely chased, and around it a row ot silver tacks. Upon each side are three very heavy silver handles, tbe binge portion being the national coat of arms, and an eagle emblazoned on the handle. The coffin is heavily trimmed with, silver, and upon the lid rests a beautiful chain of white roses and immortelles, linked together with white ribbon, placed there by Sister Loretta, ot Providence Hospital. The features ot the deceased have chauged but very little, and he looks quite natural though much emaciated by his long illness. The mouth aud eyes ate closed but the eyes are somewhat sunken, and the right temple is a little dark. He is dressed in a suit of black with black necktie." The Lancaster Express of last evening says: "The funeral of the late Hon. Thaddeus Ste vens has been appointed for next Monday after noon at 2 o'clock. All the arrangements are not yet completed, but it is understood that the corpse would be carried from the residence of the deceased to the rotunda of the capuol at 2 o'clock to-day, by the citizens of LanciS er now resident In Wasbingtou. A military guard will be stationed arouud the bier, and the body will lie in sta'e until Friday, when it will be con veyed by a special train, furnished by the Balti more and Ohio Railroad, through Baltimore via York and Havrieburg to Lancaster. Among the pall-bearers will be Messrs. Secretary Sew ard, Attorney-General Evarts. ex-Sei retary Stau ton, Senator Sumutr and McDonald, Mayor Bo w en. of WashlnBtou; 8iiruwn General Barnes, and (ieneral Kawliues, Chief of (Jeneral Grant's staff. The tram will be composed of three cars, one of which will be devoted to the exclusive me of the family aud immediate mourners of the deceased, while the remaiuing two will be occupied by political and personal frieuds. The train will arrive at Lancaster Saturday evening, ana tne body will lie in state until Monday at 2 o'clock, when the final ceremonies of the funeral will take place. A delegation of colored Zouaves and a delegation ot colo-ed citlz"iis of Washington will accompany the remains to Lancaster." The Swiss export glacier foe. Espartero is a gay youth of 76.

Important OoirtipoadtBU What la Vttonght of ueaeral Uraat. The Chicago 2Wouneof August 12 gives tbe following correspondence, which win explain itself; KxrTjBiiTCiN HxiDQtriRiEns, Caicioo, 111., August 6, 1868. Hon. Henry Greencbaam. Dear Sir: A number of Republican voters of your religions persuasion have intimated to our Committee of Arrangements a desire to give tht public an opportunity to hear your views on the relations of the Israelites to General Grant and the Republican party. In compliance with the request of the Committee, I have the honor to invite you to speak upon the subject, at a tte- fublican meeting, on Wednesday evening, Aug. 2, In Court House Square, in this city. Solici ting your kind compliance with this request, I am yours truly, J. C. Dorr, President of Grant Club. Chicago, Aug. 10, 18C8. non. John C. Dorc, President Grant Club: Dear sir: In acknow ledging receipt ot your communication inviting me to address a Kepubrcin mass meeting on the 12i h inst., in reference to the relation of the Israelites to General Grant aud the Republican party, permit me to say that while I am happy of the opportunity thus afforded me to place my co-reliEioni8ls properly beiore the people, I prefer to do so In a letter, because I have not made any potit'eal speeches for som? time, and have neither time nor Inclination to enter into the arena. Our Jewish fellow-citizens are brought con spicuously forward in this Presidential cam paign, owing to a military order issued at one time by General Grant, kuowu as order No. 11. This order was issued against "Jew as a class." and in this way repeated a wrong frequently committed against my race by the non-Jewish world. General Grant committed a fundamental error in the remedy he selected for the purpose of dealing with some offenders agaiust his mill tary regulations, who were supposed to be of the Jewish faith. There does exist a most un just prejudice towards Jews as a class, against which I solemnly protest. General Grant may or may not have shared tills prejudice. The true Israelite has no prejudice against any race. His faith in One God, having been strengthened by a history of forty centuries, leads him to regard all men as brothers, and his biuhest happiness is to be enpnged in the inter ests of God and humanity. There is a meaning in these words, and very many Israelites in this city feel this, and in politics are Republicans. The issues of the war are fully appreciated by them, and it will be useless to expect assist ance from them in impeding the progress of history, The whole tendency of strictly Jewish efforts is to proeressand liberalism, and we cannot lend our aid to inflict on others wrongs which we have suffered ourselves, and hence know them to be wrongs. Had the nomination of a Presidential candi date been left to Republican Jews, General Grant would certainly not have been their choice. But, now that General Grant Is the nominee of the party, it is paying a poor com pliment to Jewish intellect and Jewish patriot ism to suppose that we can sink all beneath the weight ot personal vindictive revenge or even nt holy lndigna'ion. General Grant knows by this time tbat Jews must not be judged "as a class," not any more bo than Christians; that among Jews there are good men and bad men, as there are good men and bad men among i; unsuaris. Furthermore, I believe that the order referred to was Issued In the midst of complicated mili tary responsibilities-, lis sweeping effect not having been fully considered, and that General Grant regrets that the order was ever issued. Indeed, I know that a letter from General Grant, expressing these sentiments, has for some time beeu in the bands of a prominent cv reli gionist at Washington city, and that General ( rant objects to the publication thereof at this time, only on the ground that it might be con slrued as a bid for votes on his part, Very respectfully, Henry (Jreenecaum. MIKE. M'QOOL. gceass and Incidents at nil Marriage. In addition to what we have already pub lished In relation to the marriage of Mike McCoole, the following particulars from the Missouri Democrat, are interesting: Mike behaved like a mau. He was dressed in black broadcloth coat and pants, and black velvet vest, a stand-up linen collar, and black silk necktie. Beiore the ceremony wa con cluded he slipped on a pair of lavender colored kid gloves, and Bmiled with a great deal of satis faction. During the latter part of the ceremony he whirpered words of lore to his lady, and scarce was it concluded when he sent his thumb and forefinger on a diving expedition into his vest pocket, and drew forth a handsome fee. Two small boys held up lofty candles that shed their flickering rays over the gay party; close to the railing stood Mike, and on his left his lady, and near at hand the bridesmaids and groomsmen. In the book the priest wrote the following: August 9, 1868, Michael, son of Alexander McCoole and Annie Quinn, and Mollie, daughter of Daniel and Catharine Nor ton, and also the names of Joseph J. Dugd and Anne Roogan, and the name of A. Mulhollaud, the officiating priest. The bridesmaids were neatly and tastefully, though not expensively dipssed, one ot them in white alpaca, and the other two in white tarletan. The ceremony over, one of the priests shouted, "It's all over you can retire," but not a man, woman, or child budged. As long as tbe manly form of Mike could be discerned at the altar, so long the crowd relu&ed to go. At last round the altar, and out the side door, Mike went, and tarrying in the ante-rooms, soon departed for rooms at tbe b'outhein Hotel. Late in the evening when the crowd had re tired from the hau6e of the bride, the happy pair held a reception, when Miss Nellie Porham and Miss Moliie Bn en, Mrs. Norton, and hosts of frieuds, assembled to congratulate the new couple on their new way in life. The bridal chamber, a perlect love of a room cozy, comfortable, aud just the thing. Fur nished elegantly with a Brussels carpet and rosewood set, a marble-topped washstand, aud four glorious old decanters brimful ol generous port stout old brandy good old Irish whisky. None of your long, lank, lean decanters were they, but fat old fellows, and happy were we to drink tbe bride and groom's health In their sacred presence. A small stand appeared near the window, on which was a cooy ot Uollin's Ancient History and over the stand, more sacred than all, a fine portrait of Mike McCoole, bis auto graph beneath in a large, bold hand. Spotless linen covered tte virgiu bed, lucked awayiuthe corner so cozily. Ou the wall hung several draw ings and paintings, the handiwork of the bride, displaying both taste and skill. A choice wedding-cake also sat on a staud here. From the church we proceeded at once to the home, where a gang of elderly iadies many with babes and naughty boys who haukered for beer, were assembled. We told them "Peace be quiet," but they headed not, aud by and by ome one from an upper window ot an adjoining nouse, wnere two or mree were gam ere ti to gether, dashed out a pail ot water, which no doubt cleaused some of the recipients. The bridesmaids were all school girls of Miss Nor ton. Ot Mike's fighting, the bride said: "I( there's honor to gain, then fight if there la money, then decline." So it seems she has the Irish pluck. Her mother said: "Suppose he'd pet killed!1" "I don't care," says she. "I'll have him if he's killed In two hours, for he ia my man, aud I love him."

Flaps were at half-mast, etc. On Wednesday at a picnic near Caton9villo, of a company ot the 0th Regimen', Maryland National Guard, a fight occurred, and during the melee John Rose and Thomas Sullivan, both members, were stabbed, it is supposed fatally, by Thomas Hibbitt, also a member, who was committed to jail.

The withdrawal of a large number of influen' tial conservatives from the Democrats, and their going for Grant and Colfax has caused considerable fluttering among the Democrats here. This movement looks very formidable. FR 031 TENNESSEE. NomlwatlOBS by tho UapuMtcan Stato Coaveuttoia. Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph, Nabuvillk, Tenn., August 14. The Tennessee Republican State Convention reassembled yes terday morning. The dibcussion as tr the pro priety of nominating candidates for Congressmen at large was resumed, and it was determined by a decisive majority to nominate. The choice of the Convention fell upon General John B. Rodgers, of Middle Tennessee, and lion. T. A Hamilton, of Memphis. The last gentleman is under an Indictment for perjury. Mr. Fourney, ot Memphis, raised this matter in the Convention as an objection to Mr. Hamilton. In reply, Colonel John B. Brownlow made a very eloquent and effective speech, vin" dicating Mr. Hamilton's record, and showing him to be one of the soundest and truest men in the State. Mr. Hamilton is the member ot the present Legislature from the First District, and has earnestly and ably opposed the Ku Klux conspiracy to get possession of the State by breaking down the Franchise law, and he emi nently deserved the endorsement he received to-day. This concluded tho formal work of tho Con vention. A motion to adjourn sine die prevailed. The President, Horace Maynard, on leaving the Chair, made a long and interesting speech. Generally speaking, the Convention was har monious, and its proceedings will have a good effect throughout the State. The opposition to .Daniel Morrell in tho Co lumbia District is dwindling away, and this noble pioneer of Tennessee Republicanism is certain of re-election. FROM INDIANA. Bt-tco of am Exprasa Itobbtr. BroWnstown, Ind., Aug. 14. Colleran and Hammond, charged with overpowering tho messenger and robbing the Adams Express Company, in September, 18C7, near Seymour, were on trial yesterday. The former entered a plea ot guilty, and was sentenced to the Penl. tentiary for five years and fined $500. Ham mond's case was continued. The notorious Jason Brown, a criminal lawyer, defeuded the prisoners. Although the vigilance committee had resolved to leave the matter with the Courts, the action of that body seems to have rendered it necessary to again tuke the law into their own hands.

The New York rimes' correDondent writes from Memphis, August 3, as follows: loe indications are tnat we are to hive trou ble in Tennessee and throughout tbe South at tne Presidential election tnis tall. The central thought that inspired the great Rebellion was the desire to control the blacks without tbe danger of bindtance or lnterierence. Tho result ot t tie conflict with the Federal Government was so disastrous tbat for a time all hope of great ness by the absolute control of bla;k labor was abandoned; but the mildness shown In the treat ment of Rebels and traitors, the sympathy ex prccsed tor them by tho anti-war faction of the iNort hern Democracy, the influeuce ot Brooks aud others m Congress, and the course of Presi dent Johnson, has given new hopa, and the dominant 1 action of the Southern conserva ives is to-day sanguine tbat they will attain the objects of the great Keclliou without another conflict with the General Government, Their organs openly avow tbU, and at no time since the war has the tone of ex Rebels been so Ditter and contident as at present. This will be universally admitted by all Union men in tbe South. There was a lime wbeu the ex Rebels wre eo cowed and quiet, so satisfied with having escaped confiscation and tae halter, so disposed to be law-abiding and or derly, that many members ot our State Legisla ture were disposed to remove all political disa bilities from them, but sucu is not tho case now. There are of course mauy, perhaps a majority of the ex-rebels, who are quiet, law-abiding citizens, but the dominant faction is inspired by a worio spuit, and it not only is not opposed by tho moderates, but very frequently has their secret sympathy. The dominant faction is bitter In its hatred of the Federal Government aud its hatred of Northern people. It is determined to get the control ot the political all airs of the South and to bring the negro under some control not very un like slavery of the olden time. From this alone it anticipates Southern prosperity. This is the key to all the movements of Southern Conser vatives. This is the corner-stone ot all their Democracy. They are sanguine just as san guine as they were at the outbreak of tho great Rebellion. Blair, the Democratic candidate for the Vice-Presidency, assures them that the De mocratic party of the North is with them in pressing the rubbing out of all free State tiov ernmcnt in the South, ai d the rescinding of all enactments tbat guarantee either personal or political rights to blacks, and thus, backed by the Democracy of tbe nation, they re gard it as easy to get the political control of the Sotith, to drive out most outspoken Republicans, and gradually, by terrorizing and State laws, virtually restore slavery. Let no man in the North be too certain that these mad dreams may not be realized. Let no man bo too sure that slavery may not be so lar restored as to bring on wide spread anarchy and another bloody civil war. It may be a war of races that it will cost the natiou many mi I lion Uollurs and many valuable lives to suppress. In Mississippi they have made a long stride in that direction. There many blacks are now afraid to leave the plantations of their employers, lest they should be murdcied, as many others have been. There is an active, wide-spread, but not nume rically strong secret organizations in all the Southern States. Where it started is un known; but it made itself manifest first, at about the same time, in Mississippi, and in Maury and Giles counties of this State. This was about six mounts ago. Either members of this tccret order, or persocs who adopt its dis guises and practices, are now found in many places prowling about at night, masked and armed with deadly weapons. These gangs are popularly designated as K.u-klux, but whether this is the real name of the organi zation is unknown. Its members seems to be the most reckless men wh) served in the Rebel army, and who believe that the South can only be mado to prosper by the driving out of all white radicals, and getting the negroes under some form of control by white men. To carry out the designs of the Southern leaders, the Ku-Elux have in portion) of this State, in Mississippi, and in Texas made a perfect reign of terror. They have taken men from their beds, and either whipped them cruelly tor being radicals, or have murdtred them in cold blood. If the perpetrators of such atrocities were not ia all cases Ku Klux, they were at least persons who had all the hate of Ku-Klux's to radicals. The Ku-Klux go ip gangs, masked and armed, and this enables them, in most cases, to escape all recognition and legal prosecution. A Protest from an Kx-Kcbcl Soldier. The Memphis J'ost publishes the following letter; "La Grange, Tenn.. August 1, 18G8. Editors Post: I am not a newspaper corresoondent, and have no acquaintance with you, but believ ing (be truth should be told though it shame the devil. I give you a little idea of the way our friends (?) are trying to get us into another fuss; and having been through the last, I am content to keep quiet and be a good and peaceful citizen, even if I cannot vote. "Last night havingbeen invited several times I attended a meeting of the Seymour aud Blair club. I had been appealed to that it was my duty to attend; tbat it was a matter ot life and death with us, aud to resist to the death the oppressor. I expected to bo enlightened on various points, and hoped to see some enthusi asm; but, till they sent out to a neighboring house, there was not even a candle to enable us to tell how many duky faces were near ours. A light came. Then the meeting was called to order, when It was found that the secretary had no paper, etc., aud the treasurer no money, and only one nigger present. I then saw through the trick. A few of the old hacks, who talked us young men into it before, are again tryiug to make a living by getting the negro and white element interested, so they will raise funds to keep them up a while. ' I wash my hands of the whole thing. I did what I thought right in the rebellion; but we were overpowered, and now I for one, tutend to remain quiet and obey the laws, rather than be made a tool of and fight somebody ele's bat tles If it was only left to tbe soldiers, all would be quiet and the countrv prosper.

J The supply of capital seeking investment con tinues as large as ever, aud 4 to 6 per cent, are still the rule for call loans the former figure on Government bonds. Business is held in abeyance. Various speculations, touching tho probable course ot the gold premium, continue to be indulged in, without evolving any satis factory conclusion. The exports ot specie con" tinue upon a sufficiently large scale to. awaken apprehensions as to the effect of any suddenly increased diain; while the weakened condition of the Treasury renders inoperative the check which has hitherto prevented a marked rise. Tbat Department no longer controls tbe market; and as the banks have only a tri fling accumulation, tbe sellers and buyers of gold are left to adjust rates as best they can. The present hope ot a permanent check to tbe rise in tbe premium, lies In an early revival of the eiport trade in agricultural staples, .which Diomises to be large, notwithstanding the evl- ' oent disposition, ia eoiue quarters, to glos over and depreciate the effects of the severe drouth that has occurred in the British Isles, cuttlne sboit the product of food staples. .
