The Register -The Kind of Lunacy that
I Assesses the ku-Klux Klan What the
rittshtirtr Gazette sajs of the Doing of!
that Organization,
Last week the H'g't'er, in a "hop skip
and a jump'' article, under the head of
The Sentinel Sold," attempted to arolo
pize for the outrages of the K'l Klux
Klin, it hops out and notices one case.
It does not Fiy that what the press gen
erally published in reg ird to the shooting
f an engineer on the Greenville &c Co
lumbia railroad is not true, but it declares
t!:e fellow that committed the crime a
lunatic. Tl eu it t.ikes a skip, which is
a performance peculiar to journals of the
li'gi-t r kind, wl.eu writing of Ku Klux
Klan oti!rages. It skips over hundreds
of authenticated cases of violence cora
mitteti by this sworn organization of the
southern cliiv.ilry, and lands plump in the
declaration that ihe accounts of the
Sou thi in outrages published, have little
r no foundation in fact, but that "they
i're. manufactured at Washington and
sent out fir political eff-ct." It now
jumps, and, oh! fathers, what a jump!
right into the ndtnission of what it
t'kipred urdrnied. A mo.ne.iit ago it de
clared tbnt the accounts of outing" s.
were fabricated accounts, and have no ex
istence in fact ; now it admits that law
lesness aud outrage s are committed in the
Southern States, but it charges the Gov
ernors of theso States and their subordi
nates w th the clinics. This argumeut
is a good dial like the argument of the
Southern men, who in 1SC0 cried "uo
war, uo violence,'' but all the while were
organizing arn.ies, seizing by force the
custom houses, forts, arsenals, aud other
public piojMTty in the Southern States,
(barges, denials and admissions, all in
oie aud the same article do not, however.
M-ern like inconsistency in the Register
Jf the democracy could blot out of ex
istence the record of the slaveholders' re-
1 ellion, it would soon thereafter declare
that the rebellion never existed in fact,
that all told about it was gotten up for
political fleet Bat the Register does
admit that a man was shot in the t in,
but declares the fellow that committed
the murder a lunatic We believe he
was a lunatic, but of the kind that rebel
led in heaven aud was hurled from its
Fhiuing and peaceful court down into the
bottomless pit. We believe he was af
fected with that kind of lunacy that or
ganized the rebellion against the United
States. We believe his lunacy was of
that kind that declared that the North
should "smell Southern powder and feel
Southern steel."' Uis lunacy was of the
kind that on the 12th i f April, 1S61,
fired ou Sumpter, violated the laws of the
land, trampled under foot the emblem
of our nationality, and bid defiance to
the authority of the general government
His lunncy was of that kind that deluged
the land in blood for the establitbment of
a slave empire which in time would have
gathered up all the poor of whatsoever
race within the limit of its borders. It
was that lunacy that gave us the draft,
and entailed upon us billions of a nation
al debt. It was that same kind of lu
nacy that surrendered at Appotnatox
Couse Ilouse in Virginia. April tho 9th,
1SC5 and it is believed if a number of
the chief lunatics had been sent to an asy
lum for life, or been hung or made to pay
the great portion of the cost of the war as
has Fiance been made to pay to Prussia
the great portion of the war debt we would
Lave no Ku Klux outrages to record.
Not a night passes but this organization
is at work, scarcely a night passes but
some one is either put to death, or taken
out and whipped or driven from home by
the Ku-Klux Klan. A few weeks ago
we published an account of a number ot
outrages committed by that organization
in North Carolina Last week the Pitts
burg Gazettf, without citing any case or
rases, in an editorial, reviews the doings
cif the Klan as follows :
Tlie condition of things particulaily in
2toi.th Carolina was perfect awful ; color
ed men, nightly dragged from their beds,
murdered in cold blood, whilst the lurid
tlam.-s from their burning dwellings, seut
a thrill of horror through the negroes foi
miles arouui. Bodies of armed men
matked aud .otherwise disguised, nightly
paid demoa visits to the cabins of the ig
norant blacks, aud by demonstrations
more demonical than otherwise so worked
upon the superstition of the horrified
frtedmcu and their families, that promises
to quit the country, or to abstain from
tv.oting the Republican ticket, could be
easily be drawn from them. Should the
las-, is an isolated case, take hold of one
of theee Ku Kluxers, the jury would cer
tainly acquit him, as it was sure to be
largely if not wholly composed of mem-
berg of toe order, which appears from
this to be so extensive in its ramification
as to reach every class of the Southern
whites. If a majority of any of these
juries should prove to be of independent
and honest citizens whose intentions were
good, a note sent to their houses would
warn them if they voted for conviction
that their own dwelling or store would
be burned, aud probably their lives would
also be forfeited. Villainous posters are
nightly posted up in conspicuous places
warning Hepubltcans both white and col
ored that "they are marked for death,'
and that unless they pack np traps and
in so many hours depart hence, the ver
dict of the 'Awful liungtiiim, I'ungrtuin,
will be carru d out. hal this terrible
thing is, the poor blacks do not stop to
nquire, but knowing from experience
that when spoittd and notified the only
safety to life and property is in flight,
they loose no time in packing np their
few articles of furniture and clothing
and with their wives and children start
on a weary pilgrimage to some more con
genial place. Is it not perfectly monstrous
that such things are permitted in our free
country ? That for opinion's sake our
poor ignorant population must be com
pelled to fly for their lives from the
places of their birth, it may be. Where
this thing is to end 42od only knows.
We thought, with the curse of slavery
driven from our land , that every species
of religious and political intolerance had
departed. l!ut it seems that we were
wrong, that a something as bad if not
worse than chattel! servitude has taken
the place of the slave-driver's lash. We
await with great interest the report ot
the Congressional Investigating Com-
miltee, now in session and taking testi
mony as to these Sonthet n outrages, con
fident that when it shall be published to
the world, a spontaneous outburst of in
dignation, and a cry for governmental in
teiference to protect these poor people
will be heard throughout the length aud
breadth of the land.
The Ku-Klux.
The Press says of the Democrats and
an adjournment of Congress : The ob
ject of the Democrats in seeking an early
adjournment of Congress is well under
stood to be to prevent the select com
mittee of the Seuate now investigating
Kuklux outrages from pursuing their la
bors and making a report. The testi
mony already taken by this committee is
very damaging to the Jlemocratic party,
and the report of the committee, together
with theevideuce, will show that the Ku
klux gentlemen are working as they be
lieve, for the interests and success of that
party. Of course an adjournment of
Congress need not necessarily stop the
investigation, but it will prevent the com
mit tee from miking a report until next
winter. Besides, in the event of an ad
journment no remedial legislation can be
had for the suppression of these out
rages.
Thr third and last se Br ion of the 41st,
Congress terminated at noon last Satur
day, the 4th. The new Senate was soon
organized by Vice President Colfax, and
the Senators all accepted and sworn in,
excepting Mr. Goldlhwaite, of Alabama,
General Reynolds, of Texas, and Mr.
Blodgett, of Georgia, who were objected
to, and their "credentials laid over for
future consideration." The last sesion
of the 41st Congress also terminated in
the Ilouse at the same time and it, too,
immediately organized by reelecting
Speaker Blain, Speaker, and Mr. Mc
Pherson, Clerk . There are 28 more Dem
ocrats in the new, the 42nd Congress,
than there were in the 41st. A resolu
tion to adjourn on Wednesday was adopt
ed. O.N last Friday an apportionment bill
was reported from tho Committee to the
Senate. Ihe bill is clearly one-sided,
and so re-districts the State that it can
not fail of electing a Democratic Legisla
ture. It is believed and earnestly
hoped that the Lower Ilouse will reject
this bill as speedily as poesiblc once it
comes before it. In the bill as reported.
Snyder, Juniata, Mifflin, Centre, and
Perry, shall constitute the XXIInd Sen
atorial district, and shall be entitled to
one Senator. Juniata, M ifflin, and Per
ry form a Representative district and will
be entitled to two members

fricuds. Mr. Morton McMichael, of the
Xorlh AmticDH, was chairman, Messrs
Biddle, MacKiuzie, Dougherty, Boker,
Cary, Fitzgerald and a number of other
prominent men were present. The particu
lar object of the entertainment, as stated
by Mr. McMichal, was to "welcome Col.
Forney back as a constant resident to the
city with which he has been connected,
in the editorial profession, for a quarter
of a century."
D. W. Woods, of Lewistown and Kirk
Haines, of Perry county, on last Tues
day were selected to represent this Sen

FRANCE.
thteKStlBff Particulars of the Grand En
tree r the fcicnnaiis raris Perfectly
Tranquil.
Paris, March 1. Noon At 10
o'clock A. M. the 11th Corps, numbering
thirty thousand men, with ninety-six
pieces of field artillery and the usual
proportion of cavalry, advanced in two
columns, one at Porte Neuilly and the
other at Pont du Jour. The former ad
vanced at a pretty rapid pace up the avenue
of the Grand Armee direct for Arc de
Triomphe, the French troops vacating
the streets as the Germans approached.
The other column entering at Pont de
Jonr, below Autenil, commenced to march
along the quay on the norlh side of the
Seine, diiet t for Place de l.i Concorde,
where the rendezvous of the two columns
is fixed.
The zone surrendered to the Germans
was almost entirely free of French. It
commences at the extreme southwest
corner of enceinte, which forms a point
and runs iu the shape of an irregular
triangle, of which the Seine forms the
east side, the enceinte from Pont de Jeur
to Porte des Ternes the west side, and
Faubourg Honore, Avenue des Ternes
from Nue Royal to the enceinte the north
side, Or base. The only points within
these limits retained by the French are
the baking establishment of the Army
of Paris, Quai de Billy, and Pont da
Jena.
As the troops proceeded along the line
the artillery took positions from Porte de
Neuilly to the Place de la Concorde and
from Pont de Jour to the same point, as
precautionary measure. Nothing could
exceed the splendid appearance of the
troops, who turned out iu as perfect or
der as if on a parade ground at home.
The chief thoroughfares were quiet,
and few persons were about from 6 to 9
A. M. The shop windows were shut,
and the aspect of the city was desolate.
The Nationales are posted as piquets on
every avenue, with liues of sentries across
the streets to prevent persons going be
yond the line of demarcation -
From 10 to 1 2 o'clock the same aspect
was presented, with more people in the
streets, in small crowds, and with more
Nationales on duty. At Rue Royale,
Rivoli, and Place de la Concorde are
double lines of wagons cutting off com
munication. Most of the women out
are in mourning and going to mass. On
Champs Klysees hardly a person was
seen. All the houses were closed except
three or four small cafes.
No one was seen at the windows, and
only a few Italian, American, and Eng
lish flags were flying, and one single
French flag hung over the Corps Legis
latiff. At 9 A. M. the head of the Prussian
advance was seen rounding Arc de
Triomphe, to the surprise of the few who
were present. Both men and women
weie seen hurrying away in tears, and
only boys and a few workmen were
left. The German hussars galloped
dowu every avenue leading to Champs
Elysees to search the streets branching
therefrom.
Not the slightest attempt at disturbance
occurred.
Ab mt 4.000 infantry aud cavalry only
were iu the advance
There was no mnsic not a drum was
beat nor trumpet sounded.
A splendid body of men halted oppo
site Palais d'Industrie, which was at once
occupied by hussars.
A few Uhlans rode down Place de la
Coucorde, where they viewed with de
rision the faces of the statues covered
with crape.
The Germans are astonished at the
mournful aspect of the city aud the defer
tion of its streets.
THE GERMAN AK.MV I.N PARIS.
Lo.vdo.n, March 4. A letter from
Paris, of March 3, states that the avenues
are almost deserted. There is an extra
ordinary scene at the Arc de Triomphe.
Two guus have been uulimbcreJ, and the
gunners are near at hand, ready to sweep
every avenue radiating from the arch.
There is also a strong guard of infantry,
with arras piled, bivouacked in the vicin
ity The soldiers are singing from song
books by the light of the camp-fires.
There is much difference in their temper.
Some fraternize with the citizens, ex
changing segars and drinking wine, while
others will not allow strangers Dear their
fires.
All are boasting of the conquest of
Alsace and Lorraine, yet are glad that
the war is oyer that they may get back
to Fatherland. No one is allowed under
the arch in the Place de la Coucorde.
There is a strong guard of Bavarians
lying on the ground in front of the gates
of the Tuileries. A Bavarian sentry is
picking immortelles from the statue of
Strasbourg; the Frenchmen passing
cried "Beware !''
At midnight I re entered the French
lines, and large bodies of guards were
stationed around the watch-fires. As the
Germans are to leave Paris this morning,
the newspapers will reappear. The
Debate says :" In spite of patriotism,
Alsace, Lorraine and Metz, la Pucelle,
is under the control of Germany.
"France cannot continue the war.
The future does not belong to us, but
the following generations will take ven
geance. "We can only say these words, 'Si
lence 'patience the other we dare not
pronounce ; but we have no right to de
cide for future generations ; they can act
freely, and decide how to act."
The Debats blames the Parisians as
fickle, with a feminine love of sight-see
ing, liiey ought not to gaze on the
Germans.
A lady friend says the German soldiers
are quartered very cleanly, and, though
awkward, are vastly superior to the
French, and handsome. They have been
first-rate customers to the French shop
keepers for wines and segars.
MARCHING OUT OF PARIS.
The evacuation commenced last night,
thongh it was not generally known at
six this morning that it had begun. In
regular order, with cavalry and artillery
in advance and on the sidewalks, the
Prussian and Bavarian infantry faced
the roadway. At 8,30 the first men of
the maiu body passed through the Arc
de Triomphe, with bands playing and
colors flying, right straight under the
Arch, the obstacles haviug been removed.
At the sides of the columns General
Schaikeyer, commanding the Eleventh
Corps, was stationed, and received the
salutes of the men in passing. Many of
the men wore evergreens in their helmets,
and one regiment, to a man, was abso
lutely crowned with laurels.
The last Germans iu Paris were three
dragoons who had returned from their
commands on some errand. They found
themselves confronted by the French
municipal guards, who have followed the
German forces at a distance of not ex
ceeding one hundred yards. The dra
goons seemed somewhat surprised and
embarrased, and turned quietly back
They were laughed at by the gamins,
but they did not quicken their pace in
the slightest degree.
Already the National Guards of Paris
have recommenced marcbitig aud coun
termarching through the city. One bat
talion has just passed my window. The
appearauce of the men presents a strong
contrast to the soldier-like Germans.
The National Guards no longer cry out
;' A but Iks Piussvns !'' Their cry
now is, ' I lire la Republique ! A las
I hurt I which means insurrection and
bloodshed. A French gentleman re
marked to me to-day, "Now that the
Prussians are gone our troubles will
commence
FARIS FREE OF HERMAN SOLDIERS.
Paris, March 4. Not a German sol
dier remains in this city. The Saxons
passed out at 10 o clock yesterday morn
ing, marching in front of the Arc de Tri
omphe, amid the profound silence of a
few spectators, and by noon the evacua
tion of the city was complete. The Ger
man Emperor afterwards reviewed 100,-
000 men in the Bois de Boulogne.
1 he Prussian leaders are disappointed
at the coldness and implacable attitude of
the Parisians.
Several journals have resumed publi
cation to-day. 1 hey all say the impres-
lon produced by the preliminary terms
f peace is very bad, and they declare
that no peace is real when obtained un
der duress, but they recommend calm
ness and concord as a means of making
the country great and prosperous.

THE RED REVOLUTIONISTS EXCITEMENT
IX PARIS.
London, March 6. A despatch from
Paris states that the city is in a great
state of excitement in consequence of the
determined action of the revolutionist
party.
The revolutionists have entrenched
themselves at Montmarte, with a battery
of guns, and the government has brought
up troops of the line to resist any attack
the revolutionists may make on the city
The reports of the organization of the
revolutionists are very much exaggerated
b it the fact that there is an organization
of a very formidable character is too ob
vious to be denied.

First Kiss "O Woman ! bat irs

From the Da j ton Religious Telescope
The Kev. John Brown courted a lady
upward of six years, and was so singu

'Jane, my woman, we've been acquaint

never got a kiss yet. D'ye think I may
take one, my bonnie lass !' The reply
was wonderfully characteristic of the
