C. DRTRICK. LWA Wisconsin paper has come in possession of the following particulars of a j little Ku Klux outrage which was recently j perpetrated io Alabama. The boys were rather severe in their treatment of Mrs. j Bagger, but 6he probably deserved it, and | ought to thank her stars that she was not • seriously hurt: A horrible outrage was committed some where in the State of Alabama a few days ago. Our informant is a reliable colored man, who heard the particulars from a member of the "Loyal League," who got his information from a fellow who lost a cousin in the late war It seemed that a Mr. <'arpet-Bagger was attack in bis own house by 1.632 Ku Kluxers, armed with double—barrelled bowie knives. They i slaughtered and ate nineteen of Mr. Bag ger's children before his eves, and com pelled Mrs. Bagger to cut her own head off and hang it on a hook in the cellar. She was then ordered to keep still upon pain of instant death. She happened to sneeze, and the leader of the dastardly crew immediately bad a threshing machine ! set up, and run Mrs. Bagger through. It's very doubtful if she recovers. Mr. Bag ger was then lorced to swallow four tons of gunpowder and a handful of nitro gly cerine. He was next dieted on live coals untti an explosion took place, which sub jected Mr. Bagger to such an intense pain as almost to deprive him of reason. They next shot him full of holes, made him hur rah tor Jefferson Davis and Horace Gretley and finally inoculated him with the small pox, and soaked him with strong lve. Be was threatened with instant death .fhe re voaled the names of any of the perpetra tors of this outrage, all of whom are neighbors of Mr. Bagger, and who hate him because Mr. B. was a loyal sutler and coiton speculator during the war, and now lives on a confiscated plantation, with enough niggers to elect him to the I egis lature. It is feared that Mr. Bagger has sustained such internal injuries that he is not able to appear as a witness at the mil itary commission appointed to try some ex-rebels for reading Democratic newspa pers. A STRANGE CHARACTER. I Leonard Jones, a monomaniac of most original type, died in the hospital at Louis- j ville the other day at the age of seventy: j When about twenty years ot age, Jones betrayed symptoms of the monomania, I which afterwards rendered his name fa- ■ miliar to every citizen of Kentucky. His chief hobby was the idea that human lift could be rendered immortal merely by j fasting and prayer, in the promulgation of j which theory he earned the title of "Live j for-Ever Jones." After he took to the j business of promulgating his remarkable j views, he conceived the idea that lie was a living illustration of his own doctrines. The manner in which he illustrated tiiem | may be inferred frcm the following inci- 1 dent: Having been invited by a lady re- I siding in the vicinity o) Louisville to par- i take of a bountiful repast of soup and j pumpkin. Live for ever pointedly declined, j telling the la<iy of the house that he had ! not tasted food for forty years. Finally he was prevailed upon to sit down, when he gnlphed down a tureen of soup, and pitched into the pumpkin in such j a ravenous manner that the lady of the j house, who was first disposed to regard Ids l statement in the fight of a jest, seeing 'lie inexorable demand exhausting the total j supply of pumpkin, announced her belief in the story of his interminable fast. In ; one of his strange business freaks lie aI- | most ruined a number ot gentlemen whom j he induced by Wonderful repie-entalions j Ito go into a stupendous speculation. It I was .lones' first and last. Failing to *e- ! cure an office by election, although for i many years an aspirant for every office in | State he proceded to recanvass the State j on the principle tliat the least number of I votes should elect. Although he was the most extraordinary character in the coun- \ try. The physicians assert that lie was ! not insane, Bnd incline to the belief that | his mind was in a state of "quasi de-form- j it v."' SUCCESSFUL SEARCH. —Mr. 1. af- i fronted his wife, who, to punish him, re j solved to act dumb whenever be was pres \ ent; and so well did he maintain her reso- | lution, that nearly a week passed away du ring which not a word did she utter in his i presence. She performed her household \ ditties as usual, but speak she would not. : He tried to coax her out of her w him, but jin vain. At last he tried the following j plan to overcome her lysolntion, by work- j ! ing on her curiosity - the most ungoverna- j I ble of female propensities. Returning one j ; evening from his employment, his lady sat ! there as usual, mule. He immediately I j commenced a vigorous search throughout , i the room, drawers, boxes, shelves; every - j | thing that could be thought of was over- j hauled, His wife was struck with aston 1 ishmont at his unaccountable behavior, and as be proceeded in his search, &he became ( nervously anxious to rind out what he was looking tor. What could it be ? She look- j ed his face, to glean, if possible, from his j expression, the object of his search; but no go, he was sober as a judge. He lifted the edge of the carpet, looked under the. table cover and finally approached her cbair, looked under it, and even went so far as to brush her dress partially aside, as if what he sought might be there. She could stand it no longer. She burst out—"Bob, what are vou looking for He smiled and an swered —"Your tongue, and I have found , it." - " To Speak his Thoughts is Every Freeman's Right. " TIIB SQUIRE AND HIS WIFE.— The squire had a friend to visit him, and was very much annoyed in being interrupted by his wife, who asked him what he wanted for dinner. "Go away ! let us alone," impatiently said the squire. Business detained his friend till dinner time, and the squire urged him to remain. The Squire was a generous provider, proud of his table ; and he complacently escorted bis friend to a seat. A little to the stuprise of both, they saw nothing on the hoard but a huge dish of salad, which the good wife began quietly to serve up "My dear," said the Squire "where arc the meats ? " "There are none to-day," replied his good lady. "No meats ? what in the name of pov erty ! The vegetables, then—why under the sun do you not have the vegetables brought in ? " "You didn't order any vegetables." 'Order —I didn t order anything," said the amazed Squire. "You forgot," coolly answeied the housewife. "I asked what we should have for dinner and vou said, "Lettuce us alone!" and here it is." The friend hurst into a laugh, and the Squire, after lurid and lubrious a moment joined him. "Wife, 1 give it up. 1 owe you one.— Here is fifty dollars you wanted for that carpet, which I denied you.'' The .Squire forked over. "Now let us have piece— and some dinner." The good woman pocketed the paper, rang t lie bell, and a sumptuous repast of fish, poultry and vegetables was brought A few days afterwards, the Squire re mained working in his garden some time j after the usual tea hour. Ilis wile grew impatient of deity, and went out to find him. Ilis excuse, when she asked him what lie was waiting for threw her into a flutter of excitement. "Some one's to come to supper !'' he exclaimed. "Why didn't you tell ine? I declare yon are the provokingest man!" And without asking which of his friends was expected, she hastened to change her dress and "slick up" her hair for the oc casion. Ttiis done, she came out and found the Squire seated at the table, read ing his paper. "Where's yonr company ? " "My company ? I haven't any company." "But you sai J you expected somebody to supper ! " exclaimed his wife. "My dear I said no such thing. You asked what 1 was wailing for, and I said "Summons to come to supper"—that's what I said I was waiting for, my dear.— And I came at once."' "And you have made inr g • m <i change mv dress ! O, I'll pay you for this ! " "No matter about it my dear. I owed, you remember, for that lettuce." THE BONDHOLDER-PARABLE OF THE POUNDS. The following is a translation ot an arti cle which recently appeared in the Chicago Union couched in spiritual language and affording an apt illustration of the position of the bondholders to the people : "And he taught the people and spake unto them a parable : " In the paradise ol the bondholder, it is e 1 with the inati who bortowed from a friend '-10.000 in gold. But when tbe war came, and the chief council at Washington declared that tbe debt should be paid in greenbacks, he went one day and bought with his S 10,000 in gold >25,000 in greenbacks. Anil lie took therefrom $lO,OOO and went to his friend, and sai l : "Here my friend, take what 1 owe thee." But the other said, "I loaned thee gold, and thou should'st repay me in gold." "Unbeliever." cried the other, "read this," "This note is a legal tender for all debts, private and publie, etc" "I, as a loyal innu, show myself willing and obedi dent to the command of the chief council Thou wilt resist (lie laws of the land.— Thou art a copperhead and a traitor.— Here, take that which is thine own, and go thy way.' And, as the loyal man would not bury his pound, lie went and bought him, with the remaining ¥15,006, which he honora bly earned by his loyal trade, United States five-twenty bonds, which netted him an income of SOOO in gold or $2,500 in tiie money of the land, about 15 per cent. "And lie clad himself in purple raiments.' And when he wanted to increase his talents, lie deposited his bonds in Wash ington, and it came to pass that he receiv ed permission to take from the people many thousands of dollars more every year, because license was given him to is sue national bank notes at nsurv. "For I say unto you, that unto every one which hath, shall be given ; and from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him." Then spoke the chief council: ' This loyal fellow shall be free from all taxes and assessments." "And cried the Republican convention, at Chicago, "Laborers and tax-payers be honorable honorable —HONORABLE ! Pay this loyal man, who is in need, with gold —IJOLD —(.OLD ! " Too LUCKY,— "Hans, where you get this knife?" "I find him, farder," "No, Hans, I believes you tell one big lie."— "No, farder tint is true ; 1 is the luckiest , hoy you ever see." "Veil, Hans, I has to , vip you " "Not cause I steals, farder? ' i "No, Hans, I vip yon cause you 90 verv • lucky." A CHANGE OR RUIN—WHICH? —What I an admonition there is to the laborers, tax payers, and lovers of the country in the re marks of Washburne, of Illinois, while ur i ging Congress not to delay adjourning. He said: "He desired an adjournment at the earli est possible moment, for if they went on at the rate they were going, the government would have neither money nor credit left. What an admission for a leading black republican to make, on the floor of Con gress and in the face of the American peo ple ! Profligacy, extravagance, venality, cor ruption, legislative jobbery were all summed up by Washburne in the phrase, "At the rate we are going," and the con saqtience was self-evident, "the govern ment would have neither money nor cred it left." Is there any wonder that the people everywhere cry for a change ? A change means self-preservation— nothing more, nothing less. A change is resisted by those who are fattening off the laborers and taxpayers — by those who want power to continue their plunder of (he public—by those who grow fat on the unrest and disturbed condition of the country —by those who want to destroy the republic by making the rule of the people odious—by those who want power to compel the people to become slaves to a money aristocracy for genera tions to come. Where will the people—the laborers, the traders, the farmers, the mechanics, the business men—be in this controversy. Their course will determine the capacity of the people for self-government; and, in fact, whether this republic is a temporary oi permanent human contrivance. — Cincin nati Enquirer. A LADY'S TRIBUTE TO GOVERNOR SEYMOUR. The Revolution, Mrs Cady Stanton's paper, publishes this extract from a letter of a lady in regard to the Presidential nomination: In private conversation Governor Sey mour is instructive and interesting, and is, if possible, more remarkable for his ele gance of manner, and graceful courtesy in the drawing room than liis matchless and magnetic power as a public speaker. Al though most captivating in private life, he is in no sense a man of forms or fashion. In his presence the plainest persons are at their ease—and feel at once that they are with a kind and good man, Democratic iu all his instincts, principles and purposes. Simple and unostentatious, strictly temper ate, he uses neither strong or spiritous li quors, nor tobacco: of the most refined tastes and elevated morals; it is said of him, by those who have known him from his early youth, that he was never under the influence of strong drink—never known to tell an untruth or utter a profane oath —to indulge in a vulgar story, a coarse anecdote or an obscene jest—nor did he vi olate the proprieties ot the Sabbath, or tyt at the gambler's table, nor cross the thresh old of more fashionable vice. Purity of life is with him a marked chaiacteristic. Educated in the Episcopal church, he has ever remained faithful to its cummunion, adorning its doctrines by a blameless life and mulipiied deeds of charity. Yet free from sectarianism, he has contributed lib erally lo the erection of every other church and place of public worship in the city of T'tica and iis vicinity. An active Trustee of Hamilton College (a Presbyterian insti tution) fe has been made by it an L. L, I)., as well its by a Methodist University in another State. The children of the or phan asylum have been guests at his house (which is a house of prayer,) and it was noticeable that, when the ne9of his nomination reached Utica, these children spontaneously turned out in procession, and manifested their joy in many pleasant ways peculiar to the innncency of child hood. Tin: EDITOR. —A schoolboy's composi tion on "The Editor" ran as follows, in a school not far from Cincinnati: "THK EDITOR. —The editor is one of the happiest animals in the known world. He can go to the circus, afternoon and even ing, without paying a cent; also to in quests and hangings. He has free tickets to picnics and strawberry festivals, gets wedding cake sent to him, and sometimes gets a licking, but not often, for he can take tilings back next issue, which lie gen erallv does. I never knew only one edi tor to get licked —ll is paper busted that day, and lie couldn't take nothing back. "While other folks have to go to bed early, the editor can sit up late every night, and see all that's going on, Tho boys think it's a big tiling to hang out till 10 o'clock. W hen lam a man I mean to be an editor, so I can stay out nights. Then that will be bull v. The editor don't have to saw wood or do any chopping, ex cept with his scissors. Railroads get up excursions for him, knowing if they didn't he'd make "em get up and git. In politics he dou't care much who he goes for if they arc on his side. If they ain't he goes for 'em anyhow, so it amounts to nearly the same tiling. There is a great many peo ple trying to he editors who can't and some of them have been in the profession for years. They can't see it, though. If I was asked if had rather have an educa tion or he a circus rider, I would snv, let me go and be an editor." (igrThe New Y'ork Herald claims to have cleared $260,000 during the first half of the preient year. THE CAMILLA RIOT REPORT. The National Intelligencer contains the following on the talked-about report con cerning tbe Camilla Riot: It was announced several days ago that j General Sibley, the chief officer of the Freedmen's Bureau in Georgia, had made an official report upon the late riot at j Camilla. Various applications have been I made to the Bureau here by the repre ■ scntatives of the press for copies of this j report, to all of which it has been replied that the report had not been received. — It hs9 been ascertained, however that it ha 9 been in the hands of General Howard, Commissioner of the Bureau, since Tues day of last week. This report embraces the sworn state ment of reputable witnesses as to all the details of the affair. It verifies the cor rectness of the statements originally made by the Sheriff and Messrs. Vanson and Johnson and B. H. Hill, and shows con clusively that the whole responsibility of the riot rests upon the negroes and their white leaders, Fierce and Murphy : that the negroes marched to the meeting in a •body, and armed and well provided with ammunition, and when remonstrated with by the Sheriff as tending to produce a se rious disturbance of the public peace, re fused to lay aside their arms. This was the cause of the riot. The effort to suppress the publication of the report is attributable exclusively to the fact that it would just now be serious ly damaging to the Radical party in the pending canvass, as it not only entirely contradicts the falsehoods manufactured and put forlh for the benefit of the Radi cals, demonstrates, beyond any shadow of doubt, that the uegroes and their Radical white leaders were tbe unprovoked ag gressors in the Camiila riot, and weie bent upon producing a violent collision between tbe negroes and the whites, which, except for the prompt and efficient action of the Sheriff, might, and probably would have resulted in a general war of races, instigated solely for tbe salvation ol the imperilled radical faction of rcvolu j tionisfs in the North. THANKSGIVING. Proclamation by the President. By the President of the United States of America : A PROCLAMATION. In the year which is now drawing to an end. the art, the skill, and the labor of the people of the United States have been employed with greater dilligcnce and vigor and on broader fields than ever before, and the fruits of the earth have been gathered into the grainary and the store house in marvelous abundance. Our high wars have been lengthened, and new and prolific: regions have been occupied. We are permitted to hope that long protracted political aud sectional discussions are, at no distant day, to give place to returning j lir.rmonv and fraternal affection through out the Republic. Many foreign States | have entered into liberal agreements with us, while nations are far off, and which i heretofore have been unsocial and exclti ! sive, have become our friends. The an j nual period of rest, which we have reach | ed in health and tranquility, and which is ' crowned with so inany blessings, is, by universal consent, a convenient and suita | ble one for cultivating personal piety and i | practicing public devotion. I, therefore, ! recommend that Thursday, the 26th day |of November next, be set apart and ob i served by all the people ot the F nited i States as a day for pulilic praise, thanks- j i giving and prayer to the Almighty Crea- j ■ lor and Divine Ruler of the universe, by j ! whose ever watchful, merciful and gra cious providence alone States and nations, no less than famillies and individual men, do live and move and have their being. ! In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the I nited States lo be affixed. Done at the City of Washington, this twelfth day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty eight, and of the Independence of United States the ninetv-third.

Tut: DUTCHMAN'S TRICK—While a Dutchman was passing through a city in Vermont, a Yankee came up to him and said, "Shon, if you treat to the cider I will learn you a trick." Shon agreed. Yank | then placed his hand against a fence and j told him to strike it as hard as he could, j Shon, not thinking that any harm could i befall him by doing so, stiuck a black smith's blow, but instead of hitting Yank's 1 hand, the latter jerking it away, poor i Shon struck the fence board, knocking it off "Mein Gott in Himmel!" cried ! Shon, "what yon make follish ? I knocks iny hand oft' clean up tie elbow! Ob, socker blitz mine poor frau, what will ; she say ?" Poor Slipn was bound to have revenge ; so one day as he was passing through n ■ field, he espied a man. Going up to him he said : "Mynheer, I show you one little | trick fir nodding." As there was no fence or tree near, Shon put up his band against his mouth and said : "Strike yust as hard as you can." Mynheer struck, ; and Shon pulled away his hand and rc ; ccived the blow on his month, and was knocked down.

Telhelhece! Don't get out of bed for him John !" PARTING WORDS,—A lady parting from her husband a few days since in the cars at Albany was overheard by the passengers to utter the following paragraph, all in one breath ; "Good bye Will, Write to me ev ery day, won't you ?
