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

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

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.
Shon jumped up, his mouth bleeding
and commenced dancing with pain.—
