[Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Indiana.] Pious, Tuesday, March 81st, 1868.—There is almost a truce to politics and serious State busi aces at, this moment. The Deputies arc, for the most part, gone off Into the Departments to look after their constituencies during the Easter boll , days ; and here in Paris people are getting through the remnant of the winter season and the last days of Lent as well as they can by the aid of music, the drama, the race-course and a few lingering foir. , es dansantes. The two first-mentioned sources of amusement have been wonderfully prolific of late. The Grand Ducheaae, of Offenbach, which, I see, has been transferred to the American stage with the same distinguished success which attended It here, has been followed by the Handef 'of M. Ambroise Thomas, in which Mlle. Nilsson a fait fureur, and set the whole town mad with enthusiasm and admiration at her charming por-. traiture of the fair and hapless Ophelia. Shake speare, indeed, is the rage just now in Paris, though exhibited generally in a French dress, and " set to' music." Why don't they make operas out of Corneille and Racine, some one asked the other day, and leave Shakspeare alone! An amateur, however, has tried his band at Dante, and has afforded to the ,Tits of Parisian society quite a new style of en tertainment and a novel sensation by inviting them to spend an evening with himself and his musical ideas at the Conservatoire. Your readers are no doubt aware that this is the little day theatre belonging to the French Academy of Music, where its pupils are trained, and where the Academy itself gives, once a fortnight, those select repetitions of choice iaraesaaS of harmony which arc supposed to be tic attra of the most refined and erfect instrumen tation. These performances always take place fly lamp-light, in the day-time; and on a Sunday. at 2 (Selma: and the effect is often curious to pas -6u t of _the brpad sunshine, into, the brilliant little theatre, or rather Stilt,: 4, Nu.Jgrce, artificially illuminated and filled with its extremely select and exclusive audience. Fur you cannot pur chase ticket:, for the Conservatoire, but must he either indebted to a friend who has a stall and does not Intend to be pre ens, or rime be the tettuteac possessor of one yourEell. made over . to a great favor by some r e tiring Ettbseri ti r, who has thC privileee of transferring his ticket. 'A fashionable mobietaan and apiateiria'nhairCiii. tbeDue de Masse, haiing composed an opera on the subject of Dante: determined to "air" some portions of Ids work on the classic stage of the Conservatoire. which the Academy graciously ptactd at his disposal for that purpose. So - the Duke gtve a private evening concert of his own music at this theatre, the invitations to which have been madly sought after for the last month. It was thought that the Empe ror and Empress, would have been of the party ; but the Imperial family was only repre sented by the - Princess Mathilde and the Princess „Julia Bonaparte. But the 1 ens uu,nde was there are yrtnid courplq, and seldom has such a gathering of titled personages of every country in Europe been witnessed. The toilettes were all full dress evening costume, and those of the performer: being the same, the elegant and refined aspect of the entire assembly could scarcely be exceeded. Only select portions of the Opera were given, both choral and solo parts, Mlle. Nils/Lon, in charming evening dress, taking upon - herself the latter. Between the, pieces, the Duke's private servants, in lull livery, who bad also received and ushered in the guests as they arrived, handed around refreshments to all parts of the house, and as visits were ex changed from box to box, and from stall to stall and groups formed, even on the stage itself,during the interludes, the whole scene was one of the most brilliant ever witnessed. Severity of criti cism would be out of place on such an occasion. All I would therefore permit myself to say on that head is that la Nilsson sang exquisitely, as she always does; that the bon ton of the assembly was unex ceptionable, being Indeed the crone de la Ci;'llle of Parisian society; that the wines and liquors were worthy of the Duke's cellars, and the music equally worthy of a distinguished amateur and a Duke! These are, tht . t > sort of elegant trifles amidst which we are just now passing our time in Paris, After Easter we shall have a few plc-hies and jests-claunp 4 - tree ; and then I predict a speedy breaking up for the summer, most people having had enough and too much of town life last year. I hear of a mighty influx of European visitors to the United States, and a decided inclination to find a new Germany, a new Rhine in Saratoga and the Hudson. There is no portion of the' immense public works of Paris, which have now been going on for so many years, so admirable and so useful as that which is least seen. I mean the system of subterranean sewerage, now fast approaching completion. From being' perhaps one of the worst, Paris is now by far the best drained of any European capital. An .excursion through the sewers was, as you are no doubt.awarc, one of the favorite amusements of visitors to the Exhibition last year; and the pleasantness of this underground trip, and the total absence of all that was offensive, was • a subject of admiration and wonder to all who had courage to undertake it. The finishing stroke to the system is now about tube put by the sinking of two enormous metallic tubes, of mere than a yard each in diameter, across the Seine, just above the Pont do VAlma. These will connect the drain age of the Left Bank of the river with that of the Right, and the whole will then be carried by the immense main sewer of seven miles in length, running between Paris and Asnieres, down to the point where the Seine leaves the latter place, without anywhere flowing into the stream within the precincts of the city. As to wha,t takes place below Asnieres, and how the country andlnha . habitants beyond will be affected by the polluted strearn—deponent saith not. I have heard, in deed, that the fishes beyond that point die; and that the villagers are petsoned. . But Baron Haussmann, our magnificent &dile, is far too great a man to concern himself about a few pay sans, while embellishing this great Babylon whieb he and the Emperor have. built up. ,The work of destruction is at this moment proceed lag more fast and fualqua than over was the ease before. Whole streets and districts are disappear ing beneath , the pick-axes of., the •,Prefet's pioneers.. The island on which Notrelßarae massstands is 'literally one ' mass ruins: Many of your readers:. remember the point when the Rue de In l'ajgdk , ' bunches on the BouleVards, and whore stand the .well known' stores of Tatum; Boissier, lofty 3o- AGADEM I,tWIS P. t: EIG Mt -Secretary LETTER FROM PARIS, PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, APRIL 14, 1868. Bret, and other fashionable rendezvous. It is the most costly building site in all Paris, just oppo site the New Grand Opera. and where rents are highest.. Well, the whole of these premises are coming down at one fell swoop. There they all stand, marked for destruction, with the ominous worns "exproprils" printed in large, black letters on broad, white bands of calico, stretched across their ports. The object is to make "ample verge and room enough" round about the New Opera House, and also open the way to the new line of street thence to the Palais Royal. Higher up the Boulevards again, in the place of the old Chateau d'Ean, the Prefect is erecting a fountain com posed of "four water falls, eight lions spouting water, and an immense candelabras to light up the whole at night,'" which promises to surpass everything of the kind ever before seen even In Paris.

Walnuts, April 7.—The rebel press here have made every effort to ignore and hush up the in famous attempt upon - the life of Judge Hunter, Fhowing as it did the extent to which their pro rcriptive teachings had inflamed the minds of the restless spirits in our midst. That the ten dency of such bitterness of proscription c^uld but be to scenes of violence and bloodshed, for which such press were almost whollyresponsible; and that the first victim to the fell spirit they had aroused came very near indeed being the w Judge of the criminal bench, ho, as the bold, determined advocate of law and political freedom of opinion, was selected as a fitting subject for assassination, is now proved beyond a doubt. Last night an Order of the so-called Ku-Klux Klan was broken up in this city, and some twenty or more members captured by the police, the names of.whom, for the present, are withheld, though enough is known as to who they were to say that the Grand Cyclops of the order was no more or less than the very identical personage who called at the house of Judge Hunter at 10 o'clock' at night in a hack for the evident pur pose of effecting his assassination, and who, as the local editor of the Memphis A nglauelte, was employed to act as moral guardian of the people, and write up in true Billingsgate style the private character of every Radical whose prominence in his party made him a fitting point of attack. No wonder the rebel organs wished to suppress the facts. Upon the person of one of the officers of the den broken up were found the records which reveal the secrets of the association to the people of the land, in all their fiendish enormity. The name of the den in our midst was the "Supreme Cyclopean Council." Its officers a Grand Cyclops, a Vice Grand Cy clops, and Secretary, who, with two Directors, were to control the funds of the order, and whose vote upon all matters was to be final, the meet ings to be called by the Grand Cyclops through the cypher of the organization. On the table in the centre of the hall was found a human skull, which was required iu the administering of the oath given below. The following. Constitution betrays clearly.the purposes of the order : The name of this den shall be the Supreme Cy clopean Council, and its officers shall consist of a Grand Cyclops, a Vice Grand Cyclops, and a secretary. An finds coming into the association shall Launder the. control of `the three officers above-named, and two directors to be elected, who shall act as supervisim4 council, and their decision upon all questions shall be final. The meetings ,nhall be called by the Grand Cyclops when he deems it necessary, and shall be done through the papers in the cipher of the organ ization. The object of this organization is for the pur pose of protecting the people of the South from the band of murderers and robbers now preying upon them, even to the last resort—assassination —and we pledge ourselves one to the other that nothing shall be allowed to deviate.ns from this noble object. Entrance to the lodge-room will be obtained through the medium of two raps in quick sue cession, to be followed by two slow ones. The Inside Sentinel will say, "Our trust;" the outside applicant will answer, "Is in God." He will then ! be admitted, and upon giving therip, as de tailed in another place, he san take his seat Superintendent Beaumont, of the Memphis po lice,in a communication to the Memphis Bulletin, writes : An organization known as the Kuklux Klan has for some time caused much excitement in the State, By sorne it has been treated seriously, but a large majority of the people have supposed it a myth. In order to satisfy myself of the objects of the organization I have for several weeks tracked its members to their place of meeting, and becoming convinced that it was my duty to break Is np In this city, I to-night captured about twentyyoung men as they came from their den on Beal street. Upon one of them I found pa pers which may be of interest to the public, and which I hand you for publication. The names of the members of the " Grand Cy clopean Council " found among the records are, for the present, withheld. . . . . We extract the following oath of intiatiou from the Constitution of the Order, taken by those who join the "den." as the lodges are titylEd Here, in the presenCe of this skull and the. members here assembled, I solemnly swear to be true to the order, to its members individually and collectively, and should I ever by sign, word or deed, betray a secret or a member of the Brother hood, that the skull, upon which I now look, may be a counterpart of mine, and I hope that all the social relations which I now enjoy may be sundered, that honesty in men or virtue in fe males may not be known in my family and gen eration, and that all who own my name shall be branded as dogs and harlots. I farther swear to obey ipiplivitly the orders of the Grand Cyclops, regularly issued through his council, and as soon as - I receive an order to fulfil It. I again swear that, should a member of this order be in dan ger, that, even at the' risk of my life,l will de iced and endeavor to save him; that I will give no outward sign or hint that a person may know of the existence of the K. K. K., unless au thorized by the Grand Cyclops, and that each member of this order, as soon as the sign is given, I will recognize, defend and protect as a brother. I further swear that I will, under and in all circumstances, bear true allegiance to the South and her interests, as interpreted by the . Supreme Cyclopean Council, and when I receive its orders, should I even be in the embraces of . my_ wife, I will leave her to obey them. I further swear that all Radicals and negtoes who have placed themselves opposite to the interests of the owners of the soil of Tennes see shall forever be my enemies, and that under no circumstances will I have other connection with them, if I can help it, than to welcome them with bloody hands to hospitable graves. That my family and the family of a Radical shall never interchange visits, and I further pray that the God of the Southland, whom I now invoke, shall strike me dead should I' ever, either lit letter or in spirit, infringe upon the things set forth in this oath. To all of which I swear in honesty of heart and sincerity of purpose. So help me God." Sad ACcident in Allegheny. Pa.—A. Boy . Killed and Another Wounded. ;From the Pittsburgh Despatch, April loth.] Saturday evening, about eight o'clock, a sad accident occurred in Allegheny. John Kramer and William Sllbereisen, two lads, each aged about eighteen years, vverq playing in Vac Red Bank Rotel, situated near the river, in Duquesne borough. Kramer pulled a pistol from his pocket for the purpose of showing it to a young girl who was present, when it wont off suddenly. the ball passing through the - heart of young Saber eisen. The lad ran into the bar room and in about ten minutes expired. Kramer gave him self up to the authorities, but the affair being purely accidental, no charge was preferred against him, and he was allowed to go free. The father of the deceased owned the hotel, and Kramer boarded with him. He and the deceased were comrades for some years. ' Coroner Clawson empanneled a jury, before which the following testimony was elicited: Mary Silbercisen, sister of deceased, morn.

CRIME. Whisky War In Brooklyn... Fight WILLI a nolb...alarines Calied Out, • (From the N. Y. Tribune of to.day.] A raid upon the illicit distilleries which abound 'ln portions of the Fifth Ward, Brooklyn, was made yeaterday by direction of Collector Wood et the Third Revenue District. The requisite or ders having been received from Washingtcin, United States Marshal Dallon issued an order to the commandant of the Navy Yard, directing that a force of fifty marines be placed at the disposal of the Collector. About noon Deputy Collector Egan delivered the order to Rear Admiral Bell, who promptly gave the necessary instructions to Brevet Lieut.- Col. John L. Broom; in command at the Marine Barracks, and within ten' minutes the nen turned out and were ready for service. The marines were divided into two squads, one under command of Capt._ Wallace, and the other of Lieut. James B. Breese. They marched into Little street, through a gate of the Navy-Yard wall, which is seldom used. As soon as the mitt. tary made their appearance the news spread rapidly throughout the neighborhood,and groups of excited persons gathered in Little and adjoin= ing streets, until a rough crowd of over 1,000 men arid boys had assembled. The windows of the houses were alive with women and children, all anxious to see what was going on. The marines were placed along Little street, so as to enable revenue officers to "enter the buildings and to protect them while in the discharge of their duties. The crowd increased to such an extent. however, that a force of 50 more marines was found necessary, and they were promptly sent for. Alter their arrival the revenue.offleers com menced at the foot of Little street, and entered in succession Nos. 12, 20, 22, 24, 27, 11 and 43. In a shed in the rear of No. 12 was found a large copper still of 150 gallons' capacity and three mash tubs containing 2,000 gallons of mash, all of which were seized_ In the shells at the rear of the other buildings mentioned the brickworks of the stills were all found warm, the stills having , been removed as soon as it was ascertained that the marines were coming. Part of the time the street was only partially cleared of the mob, a Met which some desperate fellow took advantage of by striking Deputy Collector Egan on the head with a brick and knocking him down. Near the corner of Little and Water sts., Capt. Squire;, of the Marines, was struck on the head with a stone by G. G'olding, who was immediately arrested and locked up in the 4.2 d police station. The marines were assaulted from the windows and house-tops by the women and children, who pelted them with stones, and it was found necessary to send for the police in order to protect them, the latter being confined to standing guard without the' privilege of using their muskets. The police underzergeant Drake soon restored order and the marines were withdrawn about - o'clock. The crowd then dispersed, and peace and order prevailed. FUNERAL OF IVARCY EUGEE.

The day was cold, but sunny. Long before daybreak the crowd commenced to assemble in the greets along which the procession was to pass„and by nine, o'clock fully sixty thousand spectators had asmnbled. The sidewalks and streets were crowded to sulThcation, and the housetops, windows and balconies were black with gazers. In the streets through which the procession marched the houses were decorated with festoons of crape, and funeral arches were erected, on which mottoes and in scriptions were displayed. The day had been proclaimed a public holiday, and all places of business and public offices were closed. Flags everywhere were half-masted. Among the distinguished strangers present were General Averill, the American Consul, all the Cabinet Ministers except Sir John A. NieDon ald and Rose, the Mayors of Ottawa and Quebec, and a large number of military officers. A telegram from Secretary deviiird was read by General Averill, assuring him that the American Government joined in the regret inspired by the death of Mr. McGee, and earnestly hoping that the perpetrator of. the shocking and heinous crime might be brought to justice. The chief mourners were Colonel Metice, of the Irish Brigade, Mrs. McGee and her two little girls. and James Sadler. of New York. A vast crowd of citizens followed In the rear as far as the eye could reach. The procession, marching six deep, occupied two hours and fifty minutes in passing.. At the lowest estimate 20,000 people marched in its ranks. The body was placed in a metallic wain, the outer case of which Wil* of rosewood, studded with silver nails and surrounded by wreathes of laurel. The funeral car was twelve feet long and 1 sixteen feet high, surmounted by a gold crucifix. I It was covered with black velvet bearing in sil ver the mottoes "Misere Domine" and "Consunt maths in Brevi Explesit• temapra Malta." The deceased's coat of aline and. family motto were also on it--" Fag et Opera." The car was drawn by six gray horses draped with black velvet, led by men with silver wands. The streets were lined by soldiers, who afterwards marched in the procession. The regi ments out were the Seventy-eighth ilighlauders, the Sixteenth and One Hundred and Sixtieth re giments of the line, the Royal Artillery, the Vic toria, Hochelaga, Prince of Wales and Royal regiments, the Garrison artillery, a field battery, Chasseurs, cavalry, Royal Guides and Thirteenth Hussars. These presented arms as the °body passed, the bands playing funeral airs. The procession marched to St. Patrick's church, where a solemn mass was celebrated by Father Dowd. The church was hung with black and richly decorated. Asermon was preached by Vicar General O'Farrell, of Ottawa. He warmly 'eulogized McGee, acid defended, him from the charge of political reercancy. At the conclusion of a period where he eloquently., denounced the Fenians he was greeted by loud cheers, which the reverend gentleman repressed, saying,' "This is the house. of God." • From thence the body proceeded to the parish church, where a Litre was chanted, the Arch bishop of Montreal officiating. The church was hung in black and crowded to its utmost Ca pacity. Thence tho body was borne through the city to Coto des, Neiges Cemetery, where it . was deposited in the vault. Crowds had assembled at every point and in the cemetery. Altogether over a hundred thousand persons witnessed the spectitelt;awhich was the grandest ever, seen in Montreal. No accidents occurred on the occasion, although an uneasy rumor prevailed that some malcontents would raise an alarm of tire In the church to get up a tumult. Some few people were badly crushed, and a' few were run over. No other aecidents or Inci dents occurred.
