What I Live Fop.
I live for those who love me;
For those who know me true. For the lienvcn that smiles above mo,
And awaits my snirit, too ; For those human ties which bind mc For tlie hopes that beam witliiu,
.Vnd the good that I can do.
I live to hftil that season,
By gifted raind foretold. When mon .shall live by reason,
And not alone for ffold'j When man to man united. And every wronu thing righted, The world shall be truth lighted,
As Eden was of old.
I live to bold commuuion
Witb .tl. that is divine; To feel there is a union
'Twixt nature's heart and mine ; To profit by affliction. Grow wiser from conviction,'*
.Vnd fulfill each great design.
I live for those who love rac. For those who know me trae,
For the heaven that smiles above me, And awaits my spirit, too ;
For the wrong that needs resi'tance ;
For the cause tbat lacks assist ace,
For the future iu the distance. And the good that I can do.

THE GAME FOR LIFE;
A   PERILOUS   ADVENTURE
i;y  J.   M.   BAIITEII.
It w;is a torribly stormy night; dark as pitch and blowing a hurricane. My over¬ coat w;;s wet through, and my jack-boots completely filled with wator. The light¬ ning kept np one constant succession of vivid fla.shos, and the doep thunder rolled in cver^' directiuii. Under the most fa¬ vorablo circumstancori such a night would not he considered plc.isant, but when you are alone in a country you don't know, have lost your way, and can't sse a loot beyond your horse's nose, I don't think any ouc can imagine any thing more un¬ pleasant. In vain I plunged my spurs into his sides and used my wliip, not another step would he move, but stood with trem¬ bling fliuiks and extended nostrils, the pic¬ ture of agonized foar; so I w;is forced to dismount and le;id him. But you may judge of my surprise when I reached his head to find that he was nearly touching a wall. I stretched out my hand, and, to my great joy, found it was a log hut.
Drawing the bridlo over my arm, I led" my horse round the building, ieeling care¬ fully so as not to miss the doorway. I passed down one side and turned the cor¬ ner, when, to my delight, I perceived a light shining through somc chinks in the logs. Without ptiusing a m'mient to con¬ sider" wh.it yuesls mii;ht be assembled iu- s.'tlo, I Iia-ti-iieil to tiie ilo o-, und I.eatin- loudly upon it, d.mianded adtiiittanco. I had uut long to wait. The door opened .slowly, and a tall, thin man stool before me.
With his left hand he hold the door so as to be ready to close it in an instant, and in his right a Colt's icvolver.
¦'Wall, what's the matter now ?" siid he.
'•Matter!" I said, "matter enough, I should think. I have lost my way, and am wet to the skiu."
"There's a barn at the end of the hut for the 'oss,'' said he, jerking his heid in that diret'tioii. '-You had butter go and put the 'oss up, stranger, and thon come here."
As I sav,^ there was no help for it, I led my horse to the barn, made him as com¬ fortable as I could, and then, taking my saddle-bags over my sliouldor, entered the hut.
'•V>'all, stranger," said my host, 'I do think you might-be more perlite, and just hand over the new.-. I guess it isn't often we get any down here, and, therefore, we don't loso a chanco of raising any when we can."
"I am extremely sorry to s ly that I have no news to give you, and unfortunately I have not the imagination of some of the Ne.v York papers, or I would invent some for your amusement "
"Now, look here, stranger, none ofyour iuipertinence ; I guess you aro a Britisher, j'which accounts for your slowness. What's the good of a paper if there isn't something in it ? S'pr.se there's a murder or a rob¬ bery, and its a real one, w.ill, yuu read it aud enjoy it. B t s'pose it's a f'al.se one, 'bout people you know n thing about; wall, J'OU enjoys it, and thore isn't half the darn¬ ed injury done. You 1 iff or cry as much over one as tho otlier, and 30U don't know the people; therefore, whit can it matter tu you whether it's truo or fiilse ? It does just thc same."
Not feeliug inclined to argue with my friend over tho miitt.'r—especially as I could see he was a man who Would not take contr-idiclion ijuietly—I readily own¬ ed that I wa.s wrong and he was right.
'•S'pose you don't want to sleep directly, stranger?"     . _ _ __ .
"Indeed I do, for I am very much tired. I guess it isn't safo to sleep iu these parts unles you oan manage to keep one eye open."
'¦Why, sure y we are perfectly safo here."
"I don't know about that. I kinder calculate you are a stranger in these here parts."
'¦I am."
"But I guess you've heard •«.£ Silas C'ass —he dwells hereabouts."
Silas Cass ! I had heard oriiim as one of the most dospsrate and depraved char¬ acters that haunted the ouf-settlcmcnts of Ameriea. Ilo was S'jspocted—nay, it was morally certain that he had committed mnre murders and robberies thin any man in the world ; but he contrived to escape the law, for although suspicion was great, there was no positive proof, and the wretch h.id alwaj's escaped the punishment he so richly deserved.
As I looked at the diabolical face before 'me, I was convinced that iny host was no other than the notorious Silas Cass. I felt a cold sweat break out on my forehead, and a terrible dryness seized my throat.— A fiend-like exprcs.'sion of delight spread over the wretch's face iis lie noticed these symptoms of terror; his thin lips were drawn back in a aevilish grin ; his eyes were fixed ou me with the malicious gaze ofa cat when watching a caged bird.
Gathering all the resolution I could ma.ster, I replied :'
"I have hoard of Silas Cass, but really can't believo the stories they tell about llim. Some people are born unlucky, and it has been the misfortune of Cass to be placed in suspicious circumstances; but there has never beenany proof of his guilt, and,  therefore,   I prefer giving him the
benefit ofthe doubt; in fact, I think he is more sinned against than sinning."
The monster threw himself back and roared with laughter at what he- thought my credulity, and pushing the whi.sky bot¬ tle toward me, he ordered me to take a drink.
1 placed the bottle to my lips, and pre¬ tended to take a hearty draught, but very little ofthe fiery liiiuid entered my mouth. "Wall, you aro a queer cuss," said the ruffian. "Now I shouldn't be surprised if those saddle-bags huld a go id amount of dollars'/"
'¦A few," I replied; "and thero is a tale belonging to them."
"Just so," said Silas, pushing the whis¬ ky towards me; "s'posiu' you take auother pull." •
I took hold of the bottle, ml kept it glued to my lips for such a length of time that Silas' eyes seemed ready to start out of their sockets.
"Guess you're a tall drinker, stranger," ho s.iid.
'•Ves," 1 replied, in as drunken a voice as I could assume; "that's how I came by thoso dollars."
"Bully for you," grinned Silas; "I've hoard of many a boy drinking himself out of a fortune, but ne'er a one that drank himself rich."
'O!" said he, opening wide his eyes. "Yes," I replied; '*I lioid a jilacc in the Broadway Bank as one of the chief tellers, but I took to gaming and  drinking, and lost all my money."
'•Wall, t! at couldn't make you very rieh."
•'No,   but in a fit of desperation I emp¬ tied my till, and the dollars are right there." "Wliew!" whistled Silas; •'! guess you did it up pretty spry."
"You havn't any cards abuut you'Z" I asked.
"I guess I have though," ho replied ; "s'posiu' we have a game of poker 'I"
My heartbeat with delight as he drew a pack from his poeket, and grasping the cards I commenced dealing them with the assumed eagerness of a regular gamester.
I saw tho wretch cheat me every time. I lost and lost, still I continued Jilaying, only rejieating my lo-ises in a maudlin drunken w.iy that made my companion roar with laughter. He commenced to thor¬ oughly enjoy him.self directly as he saw my misery, lie lighted his pipe and be¬ gan to suioke. He did not puff out the suioke as an ordinary man wuuld have done, but opened his mouth and let the dense clouds roll round his horrible tusks aud long thin tongue. Each time he won he seized the boltle and drank heavily of the whisky. When the bottle was finished he produced another from a smal^cupboard at the back of the hut. This soon dis:ippsared, and wa-S replaced by another; but the more he took thc better he seemed. As he swept up my dollars he roared with delight, fling¬ ing his huge legs about in the must gro- tes<[uc manner. lie began chanting iiits of songs, certainly not fit for respectable society. To make the scene more horrible the storm without had become so violent that the hut shook beneath the heavy claps of tli.milov. anil the hliin iiirhtiiing flished through tl-.e cracks between the 1 igs that composed the walls, perfei'tly piling tho red iight of our fire, and nearly blinding me.
"Lost again I" shouted Sihis, as hes-,vept up my last fe'.v dollars. '-Hear how the boys are playing skittles above; I guess that buwling saloon pays; they play pretty constant! What's your next stake'!" "I haven't a cent," I groaned. '•I'll play you fivo dollars against yuur saddle-bags."
I knew they would be his any way, and therefore staked them. Need I say 1 lost 'I .Vs Silas rose to procure some more whis¬ ky, I took the opportunity of scribbling a few lines upon the back of an envelope, which I slipped into a slit in my coat lining. Ile made me stake my horse, my coat and waistcoat; in faet everything that I possessed. I lost all, and then threw my¬ self back in dc.-ipair, bewailing my bad for¬ tune and rashness in having trusted to cards Silas seemed highly delighted with my melancholy, consoling me with the.as- siirjiice that tliere were pleuty more banks in the world, and I might regain my for¬ tune. Alter bearing hij taunts for some timo, I pretended to cry myself' to sleep, but took care to place my faee iu such a position that I could see ail that Silas did without appearing to watch him.
No sooner had my first snore sounded than Silas rose from the ground, and, drawing his revolver, advanced tuWard me. "Of ail the fearful darned fools I ever did moct, this one boats them all. He a thief! Bah I he is a di.sgrace to the pro¬ fession. I s'pose its uu use potting him ; he can't bring anything against me. He lust all his money in play. Besides, he won't care about kicking up a noi.-,c in case of the Lank finding him. .Vnd yet he would be safer."
As he spoke he levelled the pistol straight at my head. I shall never forget that ter¬ rible uiomont. I knew that the slightest movement would be the sigual fur my death, and so remained perfectly motiou- It'.ss; but the strange, horrid, cold calm that stole over me will never pass from my memory.
^'Bah !" he said, putting np the pistol, '•let "Ufiii live; fve got the other one to attend to."
He turned away and left the hut, care¬ fully closing the door behind him. I list¬ ened to his retreating foutiteps, and when they sounded distant, I sprang to my feet. My first idea was flight, but a moment's consideration told me that that would be certain death. I crept to the dour and peeped through the chinks in thc wall.— The storm still raged, and by the constant flashing of the lightning I was enabled to see for some distance. Silas was coming toward the hut, canying a heavy burden on his shoulders. He stopped by the side of a pond about fen yards i'rom tli'„ build¬ ing, and threw down his load—it was the body ofa man. Silas then took sinie cords from his iiockel, and with them bound a huge stone to the body. When this was done he picked up the ghastly object, and vrith more than human strength hurled it into the pond. The lightning gleamed out brightly ; the pale, ghastly face seeuied turning one appealing look to heaven f'or revenge; the cold, dull waters closed over it, and all was still again.
Struck with horror, I could scarcely move, and with dilHculty regtiined my po¬ sition by the fire before Silas returned.
Quietly takingoif his own coat and waist¬ coat, which were as bad as they could be, he threw them into oae corner ofthe room, and then, with all the coolness imaginable, dress'd himself in my garments. Ke again left the hut with my saddle-bags, and a few minutes afterward I heard the ring of my hor c's feet as he galloped away.
In a moment I had seized his coat and, putting it on, dashed from the hut iu pur¬ suit.
I r.m until I was almost ready to drop.
Still I pressed on; the spirit of revenge had entered my soul and bure me up. At last I saw a horseman crossing the hill. I knew the figure but too well—it was Silas Cass.
Till morning I dodged from bush to bush, keeping as close to hiin as I dare. Had I had a pistol with me I fear Silas would have stood a very poor chance. At last I perceived a party of h irsemen riding towards us. and iu a minute I burst from my hiding place, and commenced shouting as loud as I could :
"Stop him I stop him I he is a murder¬ er 1"
Silas looked q-iietly behind him, and seeing me running, drew his revolver, pre¬ sented and tired. The bullet whistled close to my head, but did no damage.
By this time the horsemen heard my cries and were close upon Sihts, who hesi¬ tated for a moment whether to attack me or not, but, seeing "the party of horsemen were armed, he turned his hor.so's head as if to gallop across the country; but the leader of the horsemen swuag his rifle round, and presenting it at Silas, called upon him to stop.
'¦I guess this is pretty shindy," said Si¬ las, coolly, "all about a fellow who has lost his money at poker."
"Stop than man," I cried ; "ho has rob¬ bed me of my nioney, horse and clothes."
'¦Why, you darned viper," said Silas, "didn't you lose them to me fairly at po¬ ker, in the block hut?"
"No," I cried; "he robbed me there, and I call upon you tu help me to arrest him f'or having committed murder. I saw llim throw the body into a pund by the log hut last night. Expecting the same fate I wrote on an envelope these words: "I have been robbed and murdered by Silas Cass—J. JI. Barter." You v.ill find it in a slit in thc lining of my coat which that man wears, for he is Silas Cass."
Scarcely had the words escap:'d my lips than Silas again presented his pistol, and this time with bettor ciTect, for the bullet pierced my aroi, but at the same instant one of the horsemen dealt Cass ii heavy blow with his ri.le that laid him insensible on the ground.
Silas was handed over tu the authorities and searched; my envelope was found upon him. 'J'he body was fuund in the pond as I had described. Jly story was told and proved true, and in a few days I had the satisfactiou of knowing that Silas Ca.-:s was no more,

Rev. E. W. Kirby on the Temperance Reform.
V.VLUA.ILE  A.vn   .«T.Via'LI.\(i   .•^T-VTISTICS I
This early advocate of Prohibition has a fisliion of putting things very sijuarely. Deeply convinced of the ruin and misery the ruin traffic is constantly producing, he feels conscientimi.sly c impelled to preach and pray against it as he does against oth¬ er violations of God's law. In a very able sermon recently delivered in Chambers¬ burg, and published at the joint request of his congregation and of McMurray Lodge of Good Templars, he discussed first: The power of the jjarty who favor thc manu¬ facture, sale and use of intoxicating liquors, and then, Wlio are rc.iponsibk f Crowed as we are for space, we nevertheless omit other uiatter to make room for the startling s?.7<('s<('f.i-ho produces. We say startling; for who can read them unmoved—unawed ? God only knows the sin and sorrow this horrid arr.iy of deplorable facts represents '. Read ! and ifyou lovo your neighbors who have fallen among the worst thieves. help lo rescue them !

From  an   accurate estimate   it appear^ that  000,1)0)   Jiersons  per   year,  mostly young men, aro brought down to the  con¬ dition   of  common   drunkards;    130,000 places are licensed to sell spirituous liquors in tho United States ;uil  Territories, and 390,000   persons   are   employed   in these grog shops.    If we add to them the num¬ ber employed in distilleries and  wholesale liquor ships, we shall have at least 570,000 persons employed in sending  their  fellow j mortals to premature graves.

A Holy Spot.
It is common to .speak of the house of public worship as a •¦holy place;" but it has no exclusive sanctity. Tlie holiest spot on earth"is that where the siul breathes its purest vows, and forms or executes its noblest purposes; and on this ground, were I to select the holiest spot in our city, Ishould not go to your splcniliil sunc- tunn'.'s, but to the closets of private pray¬ er. Perhaps the '¦Holy of Holies" among you is suiiie dark, narrow room, from which most of us would shrink as unfit for liiiiu.111 liubitrttiou j_l.A4t,C.i*J J*^l» lliere. j tlieTTTnefe He hears there music more grateful than the swell of all your organs; sees there a beauty sueh as Nature in her robes of Spring does not unfuld; for there lie meets, and sees and hears, the humble--t, m 1st thankful, most trustful worshipper; sees the sorest trials serenely borne ; the deepest injuries forgiven ; sees the toils and sacri¬ fices cheerfully sustained, iind death ap¬ proached, thiough a lonely illness, with a triumphant faith. The consecration which such virtues shed over the obscurest spot is not and cannot be cimmunicitcd by any of tlio.ie outward rll'fs by which our splcii¬ ditl .structures are dedicated tu God.— Chitnning.
"Kiss Me, Mamma."
••Kiss me, iniiniiia, before Isleep." Ilow simple a boon, yet how soothing to thc little supplicant is that soft, gentle kiss I The littie head sinks contentedly on the pillow, for all is p:!ace and happiness with¬ iu. The bright eyes close, and the ro.sy lip is revelling in the bright and sunny dream of innocence. Yes, kiss it, mamma, for thit good night kiss will linger in memory when the giver lies mouldering in the grave. The meinoryof a gentle moth¬ er's kiss ll IS cheered many a lonely wan¬ derer's pilgrimage, and has been the bea¬ con light t) illuminate his desdite hea-.t; for reiaeiubcr life li-js many a stormy bil¬ low to cross, many a rugged path 11 climb, with thorns to jiierce, and we kn iw not what is ill store for the little one .so sweet ly slumbering, with no m.irring care to dis¬ turb its peaceful dreams. The parched fevered lip will become dewy iig iiu as re¬ collection bears to the sulTcrer's couch a mother's love—a mother's ki?s. Tlieu kiss your little ones ere thoy sleep.
(j IB BO.X says: ''Every person has two cdtlc itions; one whieh he receives from others, and one more imp irtaut which he gives himself." Hard conditions draw out a man. and yoa and I are better ibr sueh au education. A man needs to be hackled and spun just as much as raw cot¬ tou does. And the best gin fbr him is, first oxy-gen (gini for bodily health, and .secondly the gin of grinding circumstan¬ ces, to make a mental ui.iii of hi-ji.
He needs to be pulled through narrow places as much as the wire, belore he will be fit for bridging the great gorges and chasms of life which swallow up the bloat¬ ed and c.ipon-lined.

For your own sake, for the sake of the children whom God has given you, citizens of Franklin county, I call upon you in the name of humanity, and our common Chris¬ tianity, to arouse from your lethargy and .shake off this fearful incubus.

Washington, July 2J.—Thc subKu- Klux Coaimittee, consisting of Senator Scott and Representatives Ste\enson and A'an Trump, reached Washington to day, returning frum a sojourn of fuur weeks in various parts of South Carolina, where they have been investigating Ku-Klux outrages on the spots where they occurred.
•They first visited the Capital, Columbia. Moro than 100 refugees, who had fled from violence in various counties, were there, but, after examining witnesses for two days, tho Committee determined to go closer to the scenes of alleged violence, and went to Sj'artanburg. They expected to remain there three or four days, but stayed eleven. AVhen word got out thrsugh Spartanburg County that they were there, the whites and negroes, victims of violence, Ciuic iu by scores every day, from ail di¬ rections. JIurders aud cruel whippings by the Ku Klux bands had so terrified theui that in many neighburhcods nearly every negro man and Republican white man had slept in the woods for months every night. 'I'hey showed scarified backs, gunshot wounds, maimed ears, and other proofs of thc violence they h«d sullered.
In Limestone Springs township, 113 cases of whipping were proved. The Com¬ mittee awoke every morning to find, in the yard by the hotel, a new crowd of victims of Ku Klux, some including whites, who had sulfered outrages which cannot be described with decenc}'. After being whipped, the victims, if well known per¬ sons, wore often cummanded, under pain of death, tu publish a card renouncing the Republican Party. In a file of the South Carolina Spartan, the Democratic news¬ paper, forty-two such cards were found recently published.
.Vt Unionville the Committee remained two days. Not an avowed white Republi¬ can was fmnd in :he place, though private¬ ly assured by a few that they would avow themselves if protected. The terror ofthe negrous here is complete. The last elec¬ tion was carried by a Rspublican majority, but the Republican county officers received Ku-Klux notices, and all resigued or fled. The policy there has been more tow.ird murder and le.--s toward whipping. The killing of teu negroes, taken from the jail by several hundied Ku-Klux, acting under military organization, was investigated. A prominent lawyer of the place, Mr. Shird, u Democrat, ou cross-examination, startled the Committee by stating that he believed almost every respectable unmarried man in the community belonged to the Ku-Klux, and he believed a thousand Ku-Klux were within a day's march of that village. A negro Methodist preacher, named Louis Thompson, who had an appointment Juuo llth, at Goshen Hill Church, in Uuion County, received a Ku-Klux notice, in the usual form, not to preach. He preached, notwithstanding, to a very few, most of the congregation fleeing wheu they saw the notice. In the evening a clan of twenty mounted Ku-Klux came, tied him and whipped him, led him off soveral miles, dragging him part of the way tied to the horses, whipped him again until death, multilated him in a way that cannot with AVhole expense 834,632.831 propriety bo desoribedj hanged him, and [

Now I propose to spe.ik of what it costs the taxpayers of this c mntry to keep up this power, and then make a grand aggre¬ gate and see what astounding results we arrive at.
What does it cost ?
I propose t'J arrive at it by taking our own county. Look at these figures, the result ofa niest careful computation by the Rev. Franklin Dyson, for the year 1862. The whole expense of the eounty was 812,- 848.00, and it wm discovered by clo.se cal¬ culation that three-fourths of this amount, 89,030.00, was the result of that produced by the license system. The vending of intoxicating liquors, viz :
Poor House expenses   85,297
Prison expenses   1,713
Court  expenses   2,020
Total expenses $9,630
The revenue from license that  year
was (deduct)   1,810
Balance of. 87,826
was paid by the citizens of Frankliu cuun¬ ty. What do you think of this, taxpaj-ers? But let us look at the figures still more startling than tlio.-;e. For the yoar 1870 (see the report of the Commissijners fbr the followiug):
Court expenses $12,753.20
Arrosting&committiag vagrants 133.47 Poor Iloa^ie and Penitentiary... 17,314.67 County jail prisoners     4,431.43
threw the body into the Tiger River, leav¬ ing a notice forbidding any ono to bury him.
Before the Committee returned. Senator Scott sent Thompson's brother, now a refugee from Columbia, to Union County, with a letter to insure him a strong guard of United States cavalry, to go tind bury the body, which was rejiorted to be still lying, half decomposed, on the w»ter's edge.
Two more days were spent in examin¬ ing witnesses in Columbia. On returning frum .Sjiartanburg, one day was occupied in hearing the statements and general views of (jien. AVade Hampton and Gen. Butler, the Democratic candidate for Gov¬ ernor last Fall.
The Committee then visited York County, where they, remained nearly a week. They discovered at Yorkville a bitter spirit auiong the white eitizens. At supper at the hotel on the evening of their arrival. Major James Berry threw a pitch¬ er of milk over thc Hon. A. T. AVallace, the Representative of th"e District, and the Hon. J. E. Stevenson, of the Committee. They were just seating themselves at the tab.e, and not a word hid beeu spoken. Mr. AA'allace jerked out a revolver and raised it tu shoot lierr}-—the ladies scream¬ ing—but the landlord threw himself before Berry and Mr. Stevenson coolly caught AValiace's hand, aud ordered the landlord to take that man out oftho room. Haifa dozen friends gathered around Berry, and he went out. In tho course of an hour several citizens of prominence called to apologize in the amplest manner on behalf of Berry, who was willing to go on his knees if required for what he alleged was an unintentional affront to Mr. Stevenson. It was subsequently ascertained that the busiuess had been discus.sed by Berry and his frieuds during the ai'ternoon it was lo bo carried out, and that Berry had jno- posed to use hot cofiee, but had finally de cided on milk.
The colored band serenaded the Com mittee later in the evening. A crowd of J'oung white men filled the pireh of the hotel and were about the band frequently, cursing the negroes and the Yankees in au insulting manner. As the band went away the crowd followed and nearly filled the side-walk. The band and those with it (negroes) were ktpt by two village po¬ licemen from the sidewalk. One negro was thrust off by a policeman, who says the negro resisted and struck him. The negro and two men who were close by say the iiegrc struggled to get away irom tho grip of the jiulicemaii, who seized, cur.sed and struck him, but that the negro did not strike. Aa he pulled away the police¬ man fired at the negro, and coutinued fir¬ ing until he had inflicted five wounds. The man was still living wheu the C imuiittee left. The testimony taken showed that both policeman and Mayor or Intendcnte were members oftho Ku-Klux. Nu one was arrested.
The coramunity in Yurk (•ounty was found to bein almost utter s icial and po¬ litical demor.dization, the civii authnrities being a useless i'arco and mockery of the victims of the Ku-KhL-c Klin. Col. Mer¬ rill, in couimaud ofa small force stitioued there, an orii'.:er of high character and great energj-, 1 .id before the Couimittee i.i..-. .1.

which he had investigated, s une of them most revolting and horrible. It was fouud impossible for the Committee to examine mure than a small part of th3 crowds of whipped, maimed, or terror-stricken wretches who flicked iu upon hearing of their coming. AVhen the Committeo ad¬ jourucd, tho building in which thoy had sat was filled, stairs, halls, aud poiches. with those waiting to be heard.
The usual couise pursued, ou arriving at a place, w.as to divide the time thoy ex¬ pected to remain between the majority and the minority ofthe Committee. Judge Van Trump usually called two or three of the mo.-it prominent lawyers, who each occu¬ pied sevc'.'al hours in setting fortli the Democratic view of affairs, giving their opinions on the relations of the two races, the inofiieiency and curruptiun of the St.ite Government, and the feeling ofthe white people toward the Oener.il Government. They ahvays said they had heard of Ku¬ Klux, but never saw one. Generally, the "Conservatives" seemed to regard the Ku-Klux as a kind of A'igilancc Commit¬ tee, or irregular local polico ; did not con¬ sider them l'nder a general organization, but simply to repress outbreaks. The ma¬ jority then Called for those who had seen and t'elt the Ku-Klux. The oaths, forms of proeeeding in th? Klan, councils, and nudes oi" op.Titiou when riding on raids, were fully developed. Scire- of men whom the proof shov/ed to be Ku-Klux wc/e ex¬ amined, all of whom, except a iew wh'Se disclosures were iull and import int, denied any knowledge whatever of Ku-Klux. One who was shown tu have beeu in several outrages swore fiat he h d nevci- heard nf the existence of Ku-Klux iu his life. Judge A'^aii Trump subjected all the wit¬ nesses called by the majority to the must soirchiiig cross examination.
The Ku-Klux (Jommittee to-day adopt¬ ed a resolution for the appointment of a sub com;uittee of three members to hear the testimony of a few witnesses luw on their way to AVa.shlngton, when an ad¬ journment will take place until thc 20th of S..'ptembcr.
Nearly 100 witnesses have boen exam¬ ined by the Congress Ku-Klux Commit¬ tee in this city. The testimony is printed .as the examination proceeds, and will make several large volumes.

Tad   Lincoln.
The New York Tribune says: Most of those who read the dispatch announcing the death of Thonias Todd Lincoln will never think of the well-grown young gen¬ tleman who died on Saturday at Chicago, 'fhe name of "Tad"—a jiet namo given by himself with his first "Stammering nttcr- ances and adopted by hLs fond parents and the world—recalls the tricksy little sprite who gave to tiiat sad and solemn White House of thc great war the only comic re¬ lief it knew. The years that havc followed spent iu study and travel, produced an utterly difierent person. The Tad Lin¬ coln of our history ceased to exist long ago. The modest and cordial young fel • low, who pa.ssed through New York a few weeks ago, with his mother will never be known outside of the circle of his mourn¬ ing friends. But '-little Tad" will be re¬ membered as long as any live who bore a personal share in the great movements whose center for four yeara was at AVash- iiigton. «
He was so full of life and vigor—so bab¬ bling over with health and high spirits, that he kept the house alive with his pranks and his funt.aslic enterprises. He was ahvays a "chartered libertine," and after tho death of his brother AVillie, a prematurely serious and studious child, and the departure oT Rjbert for college, he installed himself as the absolute tyrant ofthe Executive Mansion. He was idoli- ed by both his father and mother, petted and indulged by his teac'aers, and fawned upun and caressed by that noisome horde of oiriee-seokeis whieh infested fhe ante¬ rooms of tho AVhite House. He had a very bad opinion of books and no opinion of di.-cipline, and thought very litth of any tutor who would notsssist him in yok¬ ing tis kids to a ch.iir or in driving his dogs tandcji over the South Lawn. He was as shrewd as he was lawless, and al¬ ways knew wether he c <u!d make a tutor serviceable or not. If he found one with obitinate ide.-a3 of the superiority of gram¬ mar to kite-flying as an intellectual em- pl.iyoieiit, he soon iiiund means of get¬ ting rid ot'hini.

Early in the morning you eould hear his shrill pipe resounding through the dreary corridors of the Execu¬ tive residence.

The President took infinite comfort in the child's rudy health, fresh fun, and uncon¬ trollable boisterousness. He was pleased to soo him growing up in ignorance oT buoks, but with singularly accurate ideas of practical matters. He was a fearless rider, while yet so small that his legs stuck out horizontally from the saddle. lie had thut power of taming and attaching animals t.i iiimseli", which seems the especial gift of kindly and uoletlered natures.

It v/,is evident that with all his insubor¬ dination aud reckless mischeif the spoiled child was at hart of a truthful and gener- ons naturo. He treated flatterers and ofHcoseekers with a curious coolness and contempt, but he ofton espoused the cause of some poor widow or tattered suldicr, whom he found waiting in the ante-rooms, and it w.is aiuusing foiee the hearty little fellow dragging his shabby proteges into the Executive prceuce, ordering the ush¬ ers out of the way, and dcaiauding imm-e- diate action from headquarters. The President rirely refused a grace ofthis kind, and the demands were not so fre¬ quent as to lose the charm of novelty.
Ona of the tricks iato which idleness and his enterprise together drove him, was the oecasion ofmueh laughter to the judi¬ cious, and much horror fo thc respectable in AA'ashington. He invested, one morn¬ ing, all his picket mnney in buying the stock and trade ofan old woman who sold gingerbread near the Treasury. He made the Government carpenters give him a board and some tressels, tfhich he set up in the imposing "portecochere" of the AVhite House, and cn this rude coun¬ ter di-iplayed his v-'ares.

The ju'.'enilo operator made lively work of his ill-gotten .gains, however, and before night was penniless again.
Although still a mere child at the death of his father, this terrible shock greatly sobered and steadied him. HLs brother Robert at ouce took charge ofhis education, and he made rajiid progress up 'o the time of his sailing for Europe with his mother. He hag ever sinco remained with her, dis¬ playing a thoughtful devotion and tender¬ ness beyond his years, and ftrangely at variance with thc mischievous thought¬ lessness ol his childhood. He came back a short while ago. greatly improved by his residence abroad, but always the same cor¬ dial, frank, warm-hearted boy. In his loss tho already fearfully bereaved family will sufl'er a new .and deep affliction, and fhe world, which never did and never will know him, will not withhold a tribute of regret f.ir thc child whjse gaiety and aflee- tion cheere 1 more than anythiug else tho worn and weary heart of the great Presi¬ dent through the toilsome years of the war.
