WHY THE KU-KLUX ARE NOT TRIED.
Henntor Stevenson Answered t'nrd from the
United Mtntw. Iristrlnt Attorney of Kentucky.
Special Cvrreftpoiuienre of the Cincinnati Gazette.
Lon isviixe, March 23. Colonel G. Q. Whar
ton. United States District Attorney for Ken
tucky, will publish the following card, in the
Louisville papers, to-morrow morning, in rep y
to a portion of Senator Stevenson's speech in the
Senate on the Kn-klux bill:
To the Public: In a recent debate In the Senate
of the United States, between Senator Sherman and
Senator Stevenson, I tlud the lollowing paragraph in
the speech of the latter named Senator:
I have not done with this transaction yet. The
Federal Court, the Federal officers, knew who the
man was who attempted this outrage. He did not
live there; his politics wan not disclosed. Why did
not the Federal authorities arrest hint for an aggres
sion npon a Federal agent? It was a crime. I made
it the subject of a special intgsage. I spoke as I
xpeak now 1 do not care who he was in terms of
the strongest condemnation ; and I think all good
men of every party agree with me. But why was he
not brought to trial? It was an interference with a
mall route; the Federal Courts have Jurisdiction.
by was he not arrested? Why was he not Indicted?
Why was he not tried? Then, I presume, the world
would know whU his politics are. Now, let me tell
my honorable friend that whenever that is disclosed
be will llnd that the man was a Republican and not
a Ku-klux (laughter), or, if be is a Kn-klnx that the
Republicans have as many Ku-klnxes as the Demo
crats. These words were uttered in a debate touch
ing the attack made in January last at North
Benson, near Frankfort, upon W. H. G Ibson,
United States Mail Agent on the route between
Louisville and Lexingtou, and in that debate
Senator Stevenson endeavored to show that the
attack was the act of one man unconnected with
any organized band. The idea which his lan
guage conveys is that the offender has not been
brought to trial because he was a Republican in
politics.
As to the Federal Court, I have only to say
that the Judge has no information, so far as I
know, npon the subject of the outrage beyond
what the newspapers contain. All that he can
do he has done, viz , to call the attention of the
grand jury to the violation of the law. Unless
the grand juries are furnished witn facts upon
which to found our indictments, there can be
no trial or prosecution, as Senator Stevenson
well knows. In my sphere of official duty I
have exhausted every effort to bring the offend
ers to justice.
No one has or will put me or any other Fede
ral officer in possession of facts upon which to
found an indictment. They, doubtless, fear the
fate which recently befell a Mr. Lighter, a citi
zen of Shelby county, who, having divulged
some of the acts of the Ku-klux, was, upon his
return to his home, taken out in the night time
by an organized band and hung, for no other
reason than that he gave information to some
of the State autnorilies about the Ku-klux.
As to the politics of the man referred to, and
whom rumor designated as one of the offenders,
I have no knowledge or information whatever,
and never heard anything upon the subject until
1 saw in Senator Stevenson's speech the confi
dent declaration that he was a Republican. It
seems that the Senator is npon terms of familiar
intercourse with some of the Ku-klux, or that
lie has means of information which I have not.
His chief anxiety seems to be to ascertain the
potitlcs of parties rather than to have the law
vindicated and Ku-klux suppressed. As a law
abiding citizen he should have communicated
the facts to me before indulging in reflections
upon Federal officers who he well knew were
more anxious and more determined, so far as
they could be, to suppress Ku-klux and all
disturbers of the peace than Senator Stevenson
seemed to be when he was Governor of Ken
tucky. While he was Governor of Kentucky murders
and outrages were committed almost in sight of
the Capitol, and the Senator who is so swift to
charge others with dereliction of official duty
was, in the midst of these troubles, as feeble
and helpless as a babe; while Federal officers,
within the knowledge of the Senator, were en
deavoring, but without success, to obtain facts
upon which to base a prosecution against the
offenders, bo far as the Federal Court had juris
diction. The attempt of Senator Stevenson to create
the impression that there does not exist in Ken
tucky an organized band of lawless men, more
powerful in some portions of the State than the
civil authorities, will create surprise if not con
tempt with all candid people in this State, many
of whom know, as I do, that the intimidation
of the Ku-klux has in its effects even reached
the Grand Jury of the Federal Court. If Sena
tor Stevenson will exhaust the sources of infor
mation which he seems to have, and give me
facts and names, he may confidently rely upon
offenders being brought to justice without any
inqnlry as to politics.
The Senator has personal reasons to know
that in the Federal courts prosecutors are not
influenced by the politics of the offender or
the alleged offender against the law. If the
charges or intimations of the Senator are
founded on fact, I am unworthy to hold my pre
sent position, and l demand that the Senator
give bis authority for the suggestion that the
offender or any of them referred to have not
been arrested, indicted, and tried because of a
dif position of myself or other Federal officers to
the discharge official duties from political or
other considerations.

fair wm Planned and Carried lot Kxeea-
tlon.
The Pittsburg Evening Chronicle of the 23d
Inst, has this remarkable story:
Elopements are by no means unusual occur
rences now-a-days, but one which occurred in
Allegheny a few days since is so different in its
character from the usual elopements that it can
nlv be classed among the extraordinary.
It appears that some time since a young man.
bailing from Philadelphia, settled in Allegheny
City, and finally married a young woman who
resided in one of the suburbs. The domestic
relations of the couple seemed to be of the most
pleasant character, ana tne nusoand, energetic
and Industrious as be was, seemed to be pros
pering. Some months since the father of the
vnnnir man. who was Dossensed of considerable
means, and a resident of Philadelphia, paid a
visit to bis son. lie remained a short time and
then returned to his home. Before leavinsr.
however, be congratulated his son upoa the
excellent choice he had made in his matrimonial
alliance, and expressed himself well pleased in
ever war with his dauerhter-in-law.
One evening last week the husband retarned
borne and was very agreeably surprised to meet
bis father, who bad arrived from Philadelphia
during the afternoon. He extended a cordial
welcome, and indulged in the idea that this
second visit bad been prompted solely by a
desire on tbe part of the father to enjoy t'li
pleasure which his home afforded. The father
made no Immediate effort to undeceive tbe eon
as to the real object of the visit, but tho object
was not long to remain concealed.
On Monday night, when the son came home,
the wife in the most calm and deliberate maunor
stated that she bad a few words to say to him.
She commenced by assuring him that she had
always found him to be a kind and true husband,
and that she had not one complaint to make
against him. She had discovered, however, that
she did not love him as well as she might, and
thai she had concluded to leave him. In the
same ca m, imperturbable manner she informed
blm that she had discovered that she loved the
father, and that sho intended to go with him.
TliA fnthpr tvVin vna nrpapnt fnrrnhnrnt.pri tbn
slntpmnnt Thn father end arifa did Ihava that
night, despite tbe watchfulness of the husband,
before leaving, the couple visited the house of a
sifter of the wife, and took a friendly leave.
The husband traced them to that place and
thence to the depot, but could not ascertain
whether they went East oaAVest. He was so sur
prised at tbe suddenuess of the affair, and the
coolness and deliberation which characterized
the plan, that he seems to have been unable to
take any effective measures to prevent its suc
cess. Since the departure, word has been sent East
and West. It has also been ascertained that the
father converted all his available property la
Philadelphia into cash before leaving, and it is
supposed be has with him upwards of. ten thou
sand dollars in money. His wife aud family in
Philadelphia knew nothing of his operations
until receiving word from the deserted husband,
and then investigations made revealed the fact
that he bad disposed of the bulk of his pro
perty. He had still a sufficient amount left to
keep tbe family from want. It would seem that
the elopement was planned during the first Visit,
as circumstances have come to light which indi
cate that, if the husband had made any deter
mined effort to frustrate the design, he would
have been quieted effectually.
The extraordinary character of the affair,
the strange infatuation of the old man, and the
still more strange readiness of the wife to bscome
a party to the double wrong, makes the case one
of unusual interest.
THE PHILADELPHIA COLLECTORS II IP
The President and Mr. Forney.
A Washington despatch to the New York

In what may be termed the suuset honors of this
well-known editor and politician a reason for any
reaction, but rather to improve It by a reference to
tbe self-inflicted humiliation of the patron who has
bestowed this distinction, and the implied
mumpn wnicn ne concedes to ms enemies.
Of his actual position in the matter
and this whether he accepts or rejects the
bare boon which is entered htm Mr. Forney has
just reason to be proud. He left Washington some
months ago with as much bitterness in his heart as
tils eminently kind nature (a quality bis enemies
concede to him) admitted of; disgusted with the
administration, angered ilh the President, and
hardly disguising his lntent'on, sooner or later, to
raise tne standard or revolt, ins mends, and
tbey were numerous, cave blm a fare
well banquet at which Senator Sumner attended
and made an elaborate impromptu in honor of a de
parting friend and fellow-laborer. None of the
military idlers who form the President's staff
attended to say farewell to one who had helped the
President bo much, aud for ausrht that appeared it
was to them a matter of supreme indifference whether
jur. Forney stopped or went, or lr he weut.
In what manner he departed. Then came the Sum
ner dltllcultv us to which, to his own credit be It
said, he did not for a moment hesitate, but spoke
out boldly and Indignantly, and In au article which
attracted much attention, headed "11 alt." almost
commanded the Executive to stay his hand and ra
ve rse ins policy, even to tne extent or Riving up the
BaeBabcock scheme, his darling Domingo. It was
at once a warning ana a gage or battle, it was the
threatening blast of a trumpet. And it had lta
due e fleet. Just then it happened that the Col
lector of the Port ot Philadelphia, guardian of the
mud commerce of tnat active port, resigned ; oein
tempted to visit KuBsla, we are told, "as one of
Mr. Cnrtlu's special advisers, for the purpose of en-
KBglng in contracts there, beiuir favored with the
influence and recognition of the American Lega
tion." The resident at once nurries to rnnaiai-
tilila. He alwavs does when he is In trouble.
There he took sweet counsel, his time being about
equally divtdod between bankers and bones, with
a slight excursion to saint Patrick's dinner and the
Methodim meeting-nouse. wnat was tried aud
done, thought of. abandoned, or decided on in
these conclaves I have no means of knowing. Fancy
names were suggested ornaiimur.su lawyers and
amiable militia generals but all the while In his
tent moodily mused the Achilles of the press, lie
was resolnte no longer to lie tit in Agamemuon's
camp. At last Agamemnon came la person,
and on bis knees begged for succor. There
Is no resisting the personal solicitation of one's chief
whether a president or a king and Mr. Forney Is
not. as I have said, made of the sternest stuff, aud
so be yields, aud the quarrel is made up, with what
success remains to be Been. There is one ugly pre
cedent ta which I almost hesitate to refer. About
a century ago a leading English politician was
tempted by the offer of high otlioe to rat and aban
don liis menus ana nis resentments, lie refused
once and again, and every persuasive messenger
went away disappointed. At ia tne slug Bought
an Interview, begged it as a personal favor, and the
pi'Or man, unable to resist the direct supplication,
yielded aud took the gift. He visited his friends to
explain as i imagine mr. rorney win Messrs.
tsunineraua w usou anu tney refused to see mm.
He then went home, and, absit omen, cut his own
throat. Nobody got any good from the arrange
ment, ana tne aoomea au ministration went to
pieces.

tbe embezzlement of the public money, the
Secretary of tbe Javy has confirmed the sen
tence of dismissal from tho navy rendered
in each case, but he bus not continued the sen

that these are of doubtful legality and incapable

The Population mt Beuloane
are greatly excited over the events in the me
tropolis, and through public meetings express a
desire to have the communistic revolutionists
put down.
The authorities have consequently sent mes
sengers to Versailles offering the Government
the services of a large force, and officered by
the best citizens of Boulogne, to march direct
to Paris, and summarily end by force of arms
the disgraceful disorders that there continue.
The Government has accepted the offer, and
probably within twenty-four hours fifty thou
sand men will be en route to Paris.

Saturday, March S3, 1871. f 1
There is an active and steady money market
to- day both for business and speculative pur
poses, and rates show a slight upward tendency,
except on strictly call loans', 'the banks the
week Immediately preceding April the first are
rather more conservative than usaal, owing to
the hoarding of currency preparatory to the
business settlements and dividend payments
falling due at that period. There is no want,
however, which may not be supplied at the
banks on good securities. We quote on call at
6(ffi6) per cent., and on choice business paper
at 7to 8 per cent.
Gold is quiet and ver5' steady, with Bales vary
ing from HOJi to 110.
Government bonds are active and strong at a
general advance.
Stocks were dull but steady; sales of City Cs
at 101X for the new bonds.
Heading liallrosd was quiet, with sales at
51-31; Camden and Amboy sold at 116'': Cata
wissa preferred at 41; Minehili at 51 k', and
Philadelphia and Erie at 27.
Canal shares were moderately active; Bales of
Schuylkill preferred at 16 and Lehigh at 85.
Tbe balance of the list was quiet, but prices
continue steady.
The following banks have snbscribfiil.
