A little hirtory on this subject: In 1 SI 1 the enforcement act was pasned by Congress, which autboriz ed tbe Preeident to summon tbe army and oavy to maintain tbe peace, and permitting bim, in bis judgment, to suspend tbe writ cf habeas corpus in tbe insurrectionary districts. Tbe provisions of tbe act were to expire by limitation at tbe next regu lar roeelio? of Congress, and did so expire Meantime, however, the pro visions of the act bad been rigorously enforced, and any Kufclux who had not been arrested and eent to the pnitentiarT bad crawled so far ioto it is bole that a bayonet Ciiuld not reach bim. Elections being fair, and voters protected, every Sootbera Slate with a Republican majority elected Republican State governments and force and violence almost disap peared.

Tbe Republican of tbe Sena'e voted against tbe motion, but tbe Dd'tio crats, including Mr. Trumbull, then Liberal, now Democrat, voted for it. The motion was, however, overcome, and tbe bill finally passed. It went to tbe IL)Ue aud was then defeated, the Liberals and weak-kneed Repub licans voting with the Democrats General Grant bad aked for tbe ne cessary aub ri'y to continue the prosecutioa of these murderers, but tbe bowl against bayonet rule was too mach for the weak kneed gentle men of Congress, and to dd to tbe difficult ontiuuinsr tbe act in force, Mr. Clame had descended frm tbe Speaker's chair to opp -e the bill on the 11 ior of tbe loae. Tbe defent of the meagre encour azed the Kuklux to reorganize tbeir forces, avid to begin tbeir devilish work anew. There were still provis ions of tbe old enf ireement act in op eration, and although tbe most effect ive portions of. the law bad been re pealed or bad expired, tbe President tried his best to preserve order with the authority remaining to bim In tbe fall of 1872 matters reached a crisis in Louisiana. Kellogg and Warmoth were the opposing candi dates f r Governor, and each claimed ta be elected. The condition of things was very similar to that in the spring of 1377. when Packard and Xicholls were the contestants, and when President Hayes finally decided in favor of the latter There were two legislatures In 1872. as io 1877. but after a thor ough examination General Grant rec- ognired Kellogg Quiet reigned for some time thereafter, until Bull v. in 1S74, tbe White League, under Penn, attacked tbe Metropolitan Police, and drove tbe State authorities from tbe S'ate II use Upin this. General Grant ordered tbe mt-nrrectiomsts to disperse, and ordered General Emory to see that tbe order was complied with. General Emory telegraphed : The arm?

Then followed tbe famous banditti dispatch by little Phil, which excited tbe grave displeasure of the milk-and- water brigade in and out of Congress Tbe Chicago Tribune, then assuming to be a straight Republican paper, denounced bim as "a hot blooded Irishman with more pluck than sense." It spoke of the New Orleans mob as "tbe army 4 freedom " Itseenti ments and ihoe of its associates were taken up in Cngrss, until General Sheridan' removal was threatened and a pr p iii n was made to im peach tbe President f r standing b bim.

Bryant, William M Evans and Wbiielaw R-id. Ttt call recited that "the legislative body of a sister State baa been broken iou and dispersed by Federal troops act ing under tbe orders of the President of the United States," and to give ex pression to the "outraged feeling" oi the public tbe meeting was held. It gave vent to iu indignation, insisting that no people would be peaceful or law abiding under such circumstan ces, and so tbe conciliatory elemen went on criticising, hampering, and tying the bands of the President on til it bad let loose tbe assassins agaii t' overrun the South. la spite of all this, bowevcr, a part of tbe Southern States were kept ib tbe Republican ranks, and it was these N "es that saved the Prertden cy in 1876. What General Grant thought of all this be expressed io his tpecial nieHf-aifo lit Cuuureesia 1875.

Explaining bis own and Gen. Sher idan's course to Congress, Geo. Grant eaid : I have no desire to bave Untted Susies troops interfere ia the domes tic concerns of Louisiana or any other State Any exorcise of tbe power would ouly be justifiable under tbo most extraordinary circumstances Bui it may be proper for me to eay ibat to tbe extent that Congress has conferred power npon me to prevent it, neither Kuklux Klaas, White Leagues, nor an? other association ubiug arms sad violence to execute tbeir unlawful purpose, can ba per mitted in thai way to govern any part of this country. General Grant closed his special message on that occasion by recount ing tbe state of affairs generally in tbe South, reminding Congress that be bad asked tbat body to express an opinion relative to the two govern, ments in Ljuitdaua, and again re questing that such action should be taken as to leave bis duties perfectly clear. "I give assurance," eaid be, "tbat whatever may be done will be executed according to the letter and spirit of tbe law, without fear or favor." Later developments proved, as tbey bave ever done, tLat General Grant was rigbi aod the carpers, aod critics, and fanlt-6uders of bis party wrong; but such a feeling of distrust bad been excited, and so persistent bad been tbe efforts to create a sentiueot in the Republican North a?tinst interfer ence in tbe South, that Congress would do nothing. It was insisted that the repeated outrages were a myth, tbst tbe Kuklux ouly needed to be let alone to regulate matters for themselves peaceluliy ; that all carpet-baggers, were scoundrels, aud mat all journals of the Inter Ocean type were simply waving the bloody shirt for political effect. Let it be marked now, that all of tbese fault-finders bave long since seen tbeir error, and, without ac knowledging it in terms, have stepped upon the stalwart.

INTERESTING HEADING FOR TOCNG AND FRETTT W iMEX P "WDERS THAT SCARirr AND IRRITATE THE SKIN. lNe Tork Morcary. If tbe reader be a warm admirer aod therefore a close observer of fe male beauty, be will must probably not bave failed to discover tbat the complexions of a large percentage of our girls jutt budding into woman hood are deformed by pimples, bioicnes, and what appear to be ex foliations of the covicie. To tbe nymph in tbe first Qusb of ladyhood these eruptions are excessively exas perating. Not unfreqaenily tbey burst into notice at the tip of a hand some noce. Then, indeed, tbe unfor tunate sufferer in on tbe verge of de spair. Sae jumps from ber bed at tne first peep of daylight, aod ru-bing to tbe mirror, more tban likely ex claims, "I declare to goodoest ! there is another of tbem horrid spots!" Before long be consults the family physician, and be prescribes. Tne spots vanish; tbe complexion becomes clear aud transparent; she enjoys beauty lor several years ; afterward, positive ugliness follows, and almost before she has reached tbe mellow meridian of middle age our pimpled young graduate drops into tbe grave. What is 'he cause of those pimples, those splotches, that spottiness on the nose of girlhood ? Tne answer is that in nine caes out ot ten its origin is to be found ia the "violet powder" with which the fashionable young demoiselle at an early age begins to puff aod daab ber face, in order, as she fondly fancies, to enhance ber beauty, and to cover up a vagrant freckle. Ia a remarkable article recently published in a Vienna periodical, Professor Ilelwlg seems to bave probed tbe bottom of ibis very sub ject. It will be witbin tne recollec tion of uxany readers of the Mercury that some half a score years ago Pro fessor Uassell, of Load on, made a thorough expose of tbe adulteration then practiced ia respected articles of food as well as requisites for the toil et.; Among tbe latter, the so-called "violet powder" of the drug and per fumery stores was shown to be a most pernicious compound, into tbe compo sition of which minerals largely en tered. In the rice powder, for example, used upon the delicate skin of infants, not less than twenty five per cent, of arsenic was discovered ; and it was furthermore proved that several in fants bad died from tbe use of this pernicious compound. Of course the arsenic is taken into a delicate skin by absorption.aod has much the same effect as given internally. Not un naturally, the exposure created a great prejudice against tbe use of minerals of any kind ia tbe compost, tiouof toilet powder. European perfumers began to man ufacture preparations warranted to be free from mineral substance Some used tbe powdered root of the Mar- ant a arundinacea, from which arrow root is ob ained. Otbors used the Janipba Maoibat, from which com merce derives us Casavor and tapi oca. Some again use ricefljur, or tbe ssgo palm, while a few restricted themselves to the mauipulation ot w beaten 8 ur. They were, however, as the reader will perceive, one and all composed of farioaceous sub-raace-t, in which starch ab.'uadrf, disguised uadar var ious oaaiei and arttuily perfumed Tba the iiijarious effects arising froai filling tbe porei of ibe skin witn tnia- eral sabstaoces were avoided ; but, as we shall presently sea, harrily less deleterious results naued The per fumes used ia imparttag odors t tbe various feculas in tbe maaufatare of toilet piwders are volatile oils, or those oils that contain ia varying c mbination4 carb oa, hydrogea and oxrgen. By compjuadiag tbese vol atile oils, sceats can be produced al most at will lavender, rose, violet, geranium, verbeoa according to tbe combinaiioo employed. Prof Helwig bss frequently been consulted in recent years by young ladies respecting tbe eruptive dirfig urations to which reference has beeu made. In the cases of several pa tients be removed tbe pimple or a portion of tbe blotch witn tbe lancet for microscopic examination. In ev ery instance be discovered minute living organisms human parasites so minute that fire hundred of tbem c.uld be placed ia tbespice of an inch. These were the pimples Aa respected tbe smaller erup'tve or black spots tbat frequently afflict tbe aose of beauty, be discovered tbat it was caused by another living crea ure to wbicb tbe formidable name of Demodex falliculorum ba ben a sigued It a jy belle so oose-afU'cted, wben she reads this article, will step up to tbe mirror aod administer a slight pressure to oneof those "beauty spots," tbat appear enlarged aad whitish witn a terminal black spot, tbe matter forced out will coosixi principally of the accumulated sebic eous secretion, baviug tbese tiny parasites, with their eggs and youog, mingled ith it. If she has a friend who possesses a good microscope sbe may carry bim tbe exuded material. By tbe addition of a little olive oil, wbicb will soften tbe sebaceous mat ter, tbe parasites with tbeir eggs and young may be separated They can be observed at leisure, and tbey will be seen to be formidable little crea tures, with more than cursory inspec lion. When Prof. Helwig bad advanced thus far be bethought bim to examine tbe toilet powders used by bis fair patients. Here he found the clew to he mystery. In one specimen, pre pared by a leading bouse f Paris, ne found the eggs of the Domodex folliculorum; in another, prepared by a Vienna perfumer, he found the erm ot the active littln burro wer that raises tbe pimple. Tbe Dorter tld his interesting patients that tbey must either discontinue the u-m of tbose farioacnous powders or py tbe penalty of having their fair skins transformed into hides. , Tbe origin of these living organ-i-ms and their germ is by no means obvious Prof. Helwig is of tbe opinion thai ibe introduction of the volatile oil for the purpose of perfum ing tbe powder readers tbe farina ceous foecula a fit bab ta'ion for those living germs with which our whole atmosphere is undoubtedly pervade Prof. Cbon, of Berlin, attrioutes tbe appearances of the germs of the crec tures to putrefaction. According to bis view, tbe prevailicg fashion ot using those farinaceoas complexion powders may be described as "a per petual conflict betwtea tbe persons usiug ii aud a specific organism which miiliiplies at ber t-xpeoM", ap pr ipruting ber air and moistute; and trqueiiil poiseniug ber hv the de compositions it cau-es." Vexed aad annoyed with tbe pimple aod dis eoiorations, the ould be belle jumps from the trying-pan into the Ere. I She begins to take arsenic in some of its alluring forms. Tbe organisms are speedily destroyed, tbe eruptions speedily disappear, and tbe belle, as sbe views herself in her mirror, is de lighted to discover tbat she is grow ing stoater. She imagines tbat she is plump, bat it is tie fictitious plump ness thai indicates dropsy, and iaev itably brings death in iu train, while tbe woman is yet comparatively young. There Is only one safe path to pursue : Check the habit of using thee dangerous toilet powders in our young girls, and wben they grow up they will bave no cause to be asham ed of their complexions. Ladies, however, are not the only sufferers from the use of those insect- 'infected farinaceous toilet pwders There are many pimply-faced youag men pervading meir pjlitan society who are most assiduous in ibe em ployment of "violet powder" as a beautifier, and who exhibit tbe rav ages cf the parasite on every square inch of tbeir noses and faces, 'f ceu there is another prolific source of dan ger, bo far as the fashionable mascu line U concerned. His hair dresser habitually swabs bim with powder, just at ibe lime wben tbe skiu is ten- derest, wnen a portion ot tne cuticie has been scraped off. One kind of the affliction takes tbe familiar form of tbe barber's itch, a disease of sole ly parasite origin, caused by tbe in eecs burrowing down at the root of tbe hair. Another form is tbe pim ple, whose development plagues tbe fair daughters ot Eve, aud still auoth er form is ihe tiny creature slrongy las jilaria, which sometimes nod lodgweut even in tbe nose, the Hps aod the ear. Prof. Uelig describes a case in which a young society mau's ear was in a dreadful condition by the ravagee of this parasite, whose germs or eggs he bad succeeded iu detecting in the toilet powder used by bis hair dresser. Uuder these circumstances, tbe wise and prudent of both sexes will coutuli tbeir health aud comfort by giving the various forms of farinac eous toilet powders a wide berth.
