It is a source of 'ich gratification to the friends of Hon. U. lancen in this county, to know that he is favor ably spoken of in different parts of the State, as a candidate, for Judge of the Supreme Court of Pennsylva nia. We do not know what Mr. Afflict s's views upon the subject are, but we feel confident, that a better nomina tion could not be made. Possessing in an eminent degree, every qualifica tion for tho responsible office, his name would add a tower of strength to 'the ticket in the northern tier, and if elected he would discharge the duties with ability and spotless.in tegrity. During Mr. MEISCI:Ii ' S term on the, Bench,as President Judge of the 12th Judicial District, he gained for him self an enviable reputation through out State as a man of clear perception, great legal ability, urbane manners, and unquestioned integrity. If Judge Mtacun consents to be c_Rme a candidate, we have in addi tion to his fitness - for the place a lo cal claim upon the party, as we have not had a nominee for any State office from the north for many years, and we feel certain that presenting such a name, the nomination will be conceded to us. air Mr. 3IoaoLN, deMocrat, intro. daced into the Natiorial House of Representatives last Week• a very thinly bated trap for naturalized citi zens, in the shape of a proposition to so amend the constitution as to per mit the election of foreign born zens to the offices of President and Vice President. An alteration of the constitution in this respect might possibly benefit some ambitions for eigner in the courga tit a decade or two, but could prove of no benefit to the mess of foreigners,' and the intel ligent portion of them will be among the first to repudiate the Movement. SS-The committees of both Houses of the Legislature on "new counties' , are highly satisfactory to the people of this county.

Profes.sor . of Engineering. Unlike the mass of all graduates, he continued Ilia professional studies, the results of which he embraced in. l several . works on military science, and one on international law. Dur ing the Mexican war ha made an hon orable record by distinguished ser vices. After the war he went to Cal ifornii, where he participated in the v.; organization of that State. By slow promotion he - rose to the rank ofcap tain in 1853, but resigned his. posi tion August 1, 1854. He entered the practice of law in San Francisco, where the opening of the war of the ishellion found him. , He re-entered the military service August lib, 1831, as major , general in the regular army. • His first promi nent position was as successor of Fremont - in command of the Depa4- 1 of the West, a position in which he was expected to bring order ant of the chaos created - by the - constant changes that had been -made in this department. His administrative ability was soon manifest in the thor ough organization of his department His chief lientennnts were Grant, Sherman, Buell, ROsecrans, and Pope. Under his auspices the, Fort Donaldson and Shiloh campaigns were projected. On the failure of General McClellan in the Peninsular campaign he was made conithander in chief of the army,a position which he held until General Grant was made Lieutenant General,af ter which he became chief of staff. _ln his ser vices during the war he enjoyed the confidence of Mi. Lincoln and Secre , a - ry Stanton. General Halleck deserved well of his country. His course was at dif ferent times subjected to severe criti cism, but the integrity of his charao teir and the purity of hiS patriotism, we believe, was never questioned. His manners were dignified and re served, but genial. upon fuller ac quaintance. His published writings evince great research and respectable attainments in science. His work on international law was quoted as a standard in the United States Senate by Mr. Sumner. He never faltered in his confidence thai the rebellion would be subdued and the Authority of the Goverment fully re-established iu the 'rebel States. TUE LEGISLATVRE. The. State Legislature was fully or ganized last week by the election of Hon.

We notice that Senator EITCII Chairman of the Committee on " new counties," etc. He is also placed upon the committee on "election dis tricts," "estates and escheats" and "Judiciary General." Mr. Brea is also chairman of the House Committee on "new unnties" and is besides on the cominittees on " Retrenchment and Reform," " Cor- Por4ions," "Banks," "Federal Rela tions" and " Congressional Appor- ion went." Mr. DARTT occupies a position hp= on the following committees: "Pen sions and Gratuities," " Agriculture," "Roads and Bridges." - Both Houses met on Tneday'eren ing and the work of tho)session will undoubtedly be commenced in good earnest. A joint; resolution hag been passe providing for the appointment of committee to investigate 'Me EvAs case teit- Judge An LL of the First Disc trict Court of Lousiana, is a ' ,fearless man. On the asionbling of his Court the other morning lie called the Grand Jury before him and after rept , rimanding them for dereliction of du ty, in not inquiring into the assault made on Major Car.syrn, colored, on New Year's day, dismissed them. -The Judge said he had sufficient evi dence that the Grand Jury had been manipulated by Governor WAnstorrn. Lieut. Governor PINCILBACK. is charged with - the assault. Senator Wilson gave a temper ance lecttire — in Boston, the other evening, when he gave - ,a very good account of the temperance character of the present Congress. He says one quarter of the Senators are pledged temperance men, and there is not ,a hard drinker in the Senate. The sit uation in the House is about the same. The departments, ho Says, formerly were full of drunken men ;.now a drunken man there is the exception. Mir The London Geographical So ciety have been busily at work forth past month Itudying the probable position of Dr. Livingston, and the means of extricating him. The Gov ernment having declined to send an expedition in search of the great trav eler, the society will now undertake it through the assistance . . Of the peo ple. If they do not find the Doctor, there is much that they may find. At a meeting, of the National Executive Committee of the Republi can party held in , Washington on Thursday last, it was resolved to hold the next National Convention in Phil adelphia ou the sth day of June,lB72. i We invite especial attention to the very interesting lett from South Carolina in another column.

With few ezeeptkbis, South has uniformly de 4d any such organization, anti t" re-echoed by a certain . , papers,.who have as pendstently pronounced it a myth, and the reports ceinearning it as con ceived for thalialherance t'f political purposes. No palter hew seeptinl coo might have been, he could MA have sat IsOk after week and lis tened tote horrifying /details of its appen dant and not have bee th l nnughly convinced that the Ku Klux Man wee a positive, terrible reality, which, ,sincelhe data of the Inquisition, haikhad no equal in refined, devilish.. met bar ibaiities. And those who doubted the wisdom a t well as the policy of the so called Ku Klux , Bill, and the subsequent tidbit' proclamation of martial law in certain -parts of the Soul.' must admit that these measures were as wise as they werirolitic. f The, evidence bait shown I beyond the shadoW of a doubt that the orgenintion was (from the becinningl, a grand politiial conspiracy, whose I aim end object was the credication elf Radical ' ism in the South. The object Was to be carried ont, as sworn to time and again by member, of I the order, by " keeping off the white Radicals. and by whipping and intimidating the negroes" —by murders, sconrginge I burnings e , by every crime known in the catalogue. The full details 1 1 of these outrages will never be written. They are too vile, too indecent - ever lobe put in type. On one occasion even the "distinguished" counsel for the Ku - Elnx—" those Knights er rant of an oppressed people • (?) Ex-Attorney 1 1 Generals Johnson and Stanberry—men old in the law and in all the details of crime—could I not listen to the sickening testimony, and, left the Court-room. In one of his arguments Mr. i Johanson used the following remarkable words; the more remarkable when it - , is remembered 'that he was the leading edvocata for the Ku Klux, and that the handsome sum plaid him for his services was, as shown in evidence, raised in part by assessments made by the different Klans upon their members and that at a meet ing held in. Baltimore bntl i a fAr Weeks previcono to protest against the declaration of martial law in South Carolina, he! had dented most em phatically that there was: such an organization in existence as the Ku Elnx, and that the hor rible and bloody deeds imputed to it were only the inventions of fertile imaginations gotten up for political effect. Ile said : "'Neither my distinguished friend, Mr. Stanbery, or myself are hero to defend, or justify or palliate any outrages that may have been perpetrated in your State by the anode- ~ lion of En Klifs. 1 have listened with unmixed horror to some of the testimony which has been brought before you. Tho outrages proved are • shocking to humanity ; they admit neither of, excuse or justification ; ttei violate every Obli gation which law and nature impose upon men. These men appear to have been alike insensib'e to the obligation& of humanity and religion; bnt.', , the day will come, howerer,if it has not already arrived, when they will deeply lament it. Even if justice should not overtake them, there is n -1 other tribunal from which there is no escape.' Sometime in 186 S the organization, seems to have taken a definite form under the name of the "Ku Klux Klan" or "Dirigible Empire of the South." In its earlier days the purposes or the order appear to have been carried out by milder measures than it latterly employed'. Even then, however, raiding was common and obnoxious whites and negroes were visited arla whipped. The elections were to he carried, to I use the language of a member, byt, "cowhiding around and keeping the radicals, trim the polls," During the year of ISGO the organization was not active, but in 1870 it again burst out in full vigor and - swept like a tornado entire counties, drawing within its toils:almost every white maxi in the country. Magistrates,rninistera of the goy_ pel,lawyers,doctors, every man of position scan t o have entered into it and by threats,and even, whippings forced the poorer classes—tlie "low downers"—into the order, compelling themyo ride, on its midnight raids, whip and murder at their behest. These poor der ls bad to do the work but always at their ,head, thinking for them, ?-irectieg them, rode a disguised Chief, whose education and position could leave for him no excuse for the acts of barbarity perpe trated. Well might the presiding Judge' reruart that "there ought to be another proclamation of emancipation." In the sprin g o[lB7l the or ganization reached the culminating point of Or tong career of crime. Raids increased in num bers and the acts accompanying . them grew mon brutal and inhuman. Tles bate was no longer vented on men alone, but wonijiraiel children - were made to feel ite dread power. A Deign of Terror uses inaugurated which grew worse and worse until the Federal Government interposed and stayed its lawless and inhuman crusade. Soon after the passage of the ID: Klux Lill in 1 Congress C(1. 31errill, 01 the army, was detailed to investigate and trace out; it possible, the workings cf the order. Qui. tly he went to work in the upper- counties of South Carolina. A copy of the Constitution, by-laws, and a list of members was secured in the house of a prOm inept local magistrate, and with this beginning the case . was worked up and when the irrit of habeas corpus was suspended the-Government was In possession of an almost perfect history of the order and the details of its infamous deeds. The leaders were shrewd enough to commit but little that pertained to the work ings of the order to paper. The single copy of their Constitution and by-laws mentioned above is the only one, I believe, obtained by the gov ernment in this State. Even it is very meagre in details of the objects and workings of the or ganization. It but hints at the general purpos es of the Ku Klux Klan. The evidence elicited during the trials, and often from unwilling wile noises, is necessary in order to understand its trne,nature. [The constitution and by-laws of the inhuman organization is too lengthy for our columns this' In some cases, in administering the oath, the second section was changed from "We oppOse amlreject the principles of the Eadical party" !o "We oppose and reject the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the Constitution of the United States." . - The officers of the Klan Were the Great Grind , Cyclops of the order ; a Grand Cyclops for each state; a Cyclops or Chief for each county, and each Klan one. Each Klan had a Chief,aldon arch, a Scribe,a Turk,and several Night Hawks. The special duty of the latter seems to have been to carry to the members of the Klan or ders for rilds and notification of places of ren dezvous. The Great Grand Cyclops of the Order is the ex-rebel General Forrest. The Grand Cyclop. of the state of South Carolina is, or was, for be tied, one Banks Lyle, a Democratic member of the State Legislature. . The disguise consisted of a long, red gown, dropping from the shoulders; the head was covered with a cloth mask and ornamented fro. (vainly , with horns. Their -horses were also "disguised with cloth coverings. While on a raid no names were called, but each member was designated by a number. A Ku Klux meet ing a person 'orTarty at night would challenge by spelling out the words "I-s-a-y," without prenounchig, "Who are your The party chal 7 ieliged, if a brother Ku Klux, would answer "N-o-t-h-i-n-g," spelling and not pronouncing'. -In the day time a member signalled another by passing the right hand over the right ear from rear to front ; seizing the lapel of the coat with the right hand-; thrusting the right hand into the pocket, leaving the thumb outside, or tarn iiig heel of the right to.,t into the hollow of ihe left. These were answered by a correspond ing motion with tho.left hand or foot. - Raids were always made at night. The firs. intimation the victim usually bad was . the howl ing and hooting of the Vends before his door. It took but a moment to= gain entrance and drag from 114 bed the poor fellow who had ren dered himself obnoxious and shocked the high moral senSe of the community by toting the Italic:4l ticket, or by being a member of the "Loyal League." Lashett followed, and often upon the backs of the wife and children as well 'as his own. With threats and curses, and a warning to change his politics, he was left half dead. If there were no signs of re per.tauce be was cisifed again and urged in the same forcible manner as before to renounce his Leresy become a good Detue , crat.

The land was divided into one hundred and twenty-one lots,and brought upwards of $1,500,- 000. 'What renders this sale remarkable was the fact that moat of the land was bought by tenants, some of whom paid at the rate of fifty, others forty, and none at less than thirty years' purchase. Could any considerable number of the Irish tenantry become land-owners on such terms as these, incalculable benefits would accrue to Ire land. A class of small farmers, owning the soil, would be equally removed from ithe grinding poverty which oppresses the wretched peasant ry and the pride of wealth which hardens the gentry, causing absenteeism and neglect of the interests of their dependents. —Leap-year parties are coming into vogue at Troy. At ono last week, of which the nines has an account, some of the gentle men present were attired ins serni-female dress. the headgear being it good imitation of the style which prevails among th \ o , ladies.

This was a retaliatory act upon the men _for their xclusiteness when they are in power. —Mrs. Cady Stanton, in. a recent letter upon the question or woman suffrage, among other thongs, says: "So depraved or . vapid women bare ever yet identified themselves with this movement.
