RaiLtoaL Lrrriso.— From an adver tisement in this iseue of the Rtfonti, the people ef our valley will learn that pro posals for the grading of our railroad will, be preceived until the first of July, suiC that means that our road is to be built, and that a new era of prosperity is to dawn up on the people of Penn. Brush and Buffalo vallies. We rejoice that this long talked of and so greatly needed improvement Is seon to be one of the fixed institutions of the state. It required much time, much• labor, much solicitation, to gel our peop[e, to aid in the enterprise and to secure the road —and now we all have the satisfac tion of knowing that our labor* have nolj been in vain, and that our lovely, richj and fertile valley is no longer to occupy an iswlated position for want of an outlet., The cars will rua to MiAinhurg this sum-; mtr, and if the work from that point west ward is pushed on vigorously, we way have the locomotive dashing through our valley | by January Wit There is still chance for those who have stood aloof to come forward and partially relieve such as found it necessary to deeply. involve themselves in order to secure the. road. It is a duty of every one along the line to bear a share, as all are benefited, j and it is a wrong principle to shirk dutyj and depend upon our neighbors.

The Ku Klux stories of Omnta'sj lick-spittles and Senator Scott's Ku' Klux committee sitting at Washing ton, receive little coro bora lion from, Horace Greely's observations in his recent visit to Texas. The philoso pher of the Tribune seems to be pWanl with the southern people, and prom ises to render a good account of them when he gets home, aad in a speech in a'soittheru city, from which ha depart ed a few days ago, he pays quite a compliment to the qaiet and good or der maintained in Texas. Now why have a tyranieal order' issued from the white house, which, carries a gross insult to those people; and the entire counrty, based up on falsehood, and why pam the infa moos and unconstitutional Ku Klux hill ? What Grant and his ofl|oe hold ers want is to create disturbance* so he may have an excuse for setting aside the habeas corpus and sending his solders into the south to control the elections for his own re election. That's what he is about. He U will ing to have the couutry ia as uproar, nod like Zack Chandler, have a little "blood letting," to perpetuate his rule at Washington. All the Ku Klux stories, thus far have proven false, and manufactured for political effect by scoundrels who wish to keep in offices.

Our Washington eorreapoiulenu in- j form us that a great sensation lias (men created in that city during the pa-t week hv the appearance in its street* and avenues of an indefinite number of young Christians. These young Christians have untertaiued the en pi* tal with orocomiojw, songu, and bynins. ami one U left a little in doubt wheth er the extreme excitement caused by their presence and their performance is to l>e attributed to their musical gifts, to their good leoks, to their c .• eclleut drill in marching, or merely to the fact of their being Christian*. I When wo consider the average tone of Washington morals and religion it will seeiu to be reasonable enough ilia! the spectacle of a procession of young Christians should appear to that city a more novel and amaxing show evui than Mr. Burliuguuie with his heath en Chinee, or the unbelieving "Jap> or the idolatrous ludiaus from our far Western frontier. Why young Christians, however, I should feel themselves called upon, not in their capacity as citizens but in their, quality of young Christians, to mai\-!i in military procession through tao streets of the Federal cap.tal singing the ".Star Spangled Itanner, is really, when one comes to reflect upou it, much more of a puzzle than why the people of Washington should leave their homes and hearths aud run into tbo streets to look at theiu. The only reference which we can at this moment recall from the Christian Scripture- to auy connection between Christian be lievers and the streets of a city i> au injunction laid upon his disciple* hv the founder of Christianity that w hen- j ever they desired to pray they should take particular care to avoid following the example of the Pharisees, who had away of saying their prayers standing "at the "corners of the streets, that they might "bo seen of men." This injunction, if it was not disobeyed to the letter by the youug Christians a Washington, certainly was not kept by them in the spirit. They can hard ly have imagined, when they marshal! Ed their ararv in Pennsylvania avenue ' and set fourth with shouts and light for the While House like a political, delegation, or a target company, or us "grand army of the republic, that they w*re likely to p*s* unnoted ofj men; and it is just possible that when j they lifted up their voices in "psalms and hvmns and spiritual songs" under | the Presidential roof they were not, wholly exalted out of all conscious ueas (bat mortal cars, aud those ot high degree, were listening to their' well modulated strains. All this) would he harm lea enough in its absurd ity if these "Christian young men professed to regard their Christianity as Freemason* regard their Freema sonary. or "Knights Templars their knighiuood, a# a spccqU mystery and bond, that is, of their own by virtue! of which thev become a brotherhood ! apart from other uninitiated men. au! j arc called upon by virtue of that j brotherJjcwJ fr°' n l 'inc to time to dim and "proceaaiutuzo" ami brake escur-. sions together. In case, however much i they might bore the population by singing in the streets at untimely hours, or turning the tide of travel out of the highways into shoals and cd dies, no permautunf pcamlel would fol low the temjiorary ajtnoyance. Hut j we understand Christianity to be the) general religion of the land, and the?* young men to haws associated them- j wives together for the purpose of si t ting fourth the peculiar spirit and in fluenccs of Chrfstiaiiity in an exem plary and superior manner. This they certainly are not in away to achieve by imitating the suspiciously vanglorinus nndself-conscious fashions! of merely worldly brotherhoods, by seeking notoriety in the highway and by subjectlag ihe Presklflnt of the United States to an hour or two of hand-shaking to the tune of very slow music, with General Howard stand ing by as chief executioner, The Scripture, it is true, enjoins Christians to "render unto ('-aesnr the j things that arc Caesar's." But the Constitution nowhere- provides that the president shall hayo hi* hand sha ken in bis own houso by a thousand; excursionists, nor vet that be shall be entitled to demand hymns ami psalm* as tribute from all Christian young men who chance to pn* through Washington, [f these religious exer cises were devotional they vnotiU have been rendered not Ullt') CVutar but unto God. If they were not devotion al it would not be civil to say precise ly what they were. JellVrsoii Davis.
