: ee nee from this nouse, He was seen to recetve & telee gram from Redpath and neard to say sharply, “Y DON’T DO 1T.” It ts onderstood that this referred to some re- quest from Mouiton. Mr. Beecher has not made apy proposition for compromise, although an ar- fangement looking to a settlement in some shape, fm which Moulton was concerned, was certainly entertained. Mr. Cleveland’s visit to Boston was im connection with this projected compromise, of which Redpath was the meddling diabolus ex machina. . Mr. Beecher’s friends here who know his views expressed some days ago openly their desire that Moulton should publish his whole story. The mews of Moulton’s publication was received this evening, and Mr. Beecher’s family and friends ex- press themselves as much pleased with the fact. PLYMOUTH PRAYER MEETING. + Last Night’s Raptures Over Mr. Beecher as an Exemplification of God. Last night’s prayer meeting at Plymouth Church might with justice be called an ovation to Mr. Beecher, Every prayer contained his name, and seemed to be offered up for his weliare; every utterance was instinct with his praise. Rev. Mr. Halliday presided, as usual. Brother Price, who Offered the first prayer, alluded but indis- tinctly to the pastor, but Brother Garbutt prayed Ged fervently to be with him in this hour, to biess and strengthen him, to allow his rich nature, so Vastly endowed, to return to their midst. He thanked God for Mr. Beecher’s ministrations, for all that his teacnings had enabled them to ac- complish, He prayea God to spare him so that he | might return and preach to them witn a power @reater than he had ever exhibited in the past, Brother Manchester prayed God to watch over their beloved pastor with His gentlest care. “Thou knowest what a great loving heart he has. Thou knowest HOW DEAR HE 13 TO US; how he has watched and seen us grow up from ebiidhood, Wilt'Thou grant that we may again Worship together with the pastor that we s0 dearly love.” Similar expressions of fealty towara ‘the pastor concluded the prayer. Mr. Cleveland, a member of the Investigating Committee that was, spoke of his visit to Mr, Beecher in the mountains. He certainly seemed very well, he said, and was very happy, he thought. He did not velieve that Beecher was Mas apprehensive about his fature. He b spoken with @ feel- tog of great satisfaction of the way he had spent this summer in the mountains. He sald that he would undoubtedly return on the Ist of October, | and, pronabdly, preach again on the first Sunday in October. He manilested in bis conversation the same charity and sweetness and love for all sin- ners that he had exhibited during so many years, ‘They had all known lim for a long time, and so Jar as he was concerned he had never seen—and he doubted whether they had ever seen—so perfect AN EXEMPLIFICATION OF GOD as this man of God haa proved himself to be dur- \ng these many years, and espectaliy during the jast three or iour years. He had seen very much Of it personally, and was glad to testify to the tact that during these last three or tour years he had never heard Mr. Beecher suy a word gbout any- body which he might not have as well said in his last utterance on earth. Mr. Beecher had declared Fepeatedly that he was preaching the Gospel ol love and charity and not that of re- venge, and he had practised that doctrine all his life. Mr. Beecher told him that if God spared his life he meant to come back to Plymouth church With renewed Vigor and geal, Mr. Cleveland be- | Meved that Mr. Beecher would do more and better | Work in the next five years than be tad accom- Plished in any similar period of his life. He had said to Mr. Cleveland that he was now better able | to 1uliy grasp and teach the Gospel than he ever | ‘was belore. NOTHING CAN HARM TM. Mr. Cleveland wound up by stating his convic- tion that nothing could harm Mr. Beecher. He Jelt just a8 indifferent about what might be said about Mr, Beecher as about the capricious winds, Ke believed that God meant todo more by and through their pastor than He had ever done be- Yore. He was certain that there would yet be a great many questions which would be moulded by the influence of his great name and glorious example. This generation had settled the ques- ton whether 4 man of bright religious’ influence coud not be able to maintain it against ail as- eaults, What they needed in this church more than anything else were prayers lor themselves, | their pastor and thelr enemies, so that they might | enjoy @ revival which would make these hills shine ‘With the brightness of the coming o! the Lord. Other pravers followed in the same strain of papi and the exercises ciosed soon after nine clock, THE HEBREW NEW YEAR. ‘This festival, so important in the Jewish calen- Gar because it is the introduction to a series of Sestivals and holidays that run along through two or three months to come, began last evening at sunset with religious services held in the different ByDagogues in this city and vicinity, It begins the year 6636 of the world’s history according to this calendar, though according to Messrs. Darwin, Huxley & Co, tne world is very much older. This festival ranks next in importance to the Day of Atonement, which foilows very soon. and, as the Jewish Times suggests, however estranged from bis brethren in social life the Jew may be, indiffer- ent or negligent as he may be throughout tne rest ofthe year to all the forms and ceremonies that Judaism imposes, and oblivious to the sacred obli- gations of the Sabbath, when Rosh-Hashanah comes, the old sympathies are awakened anew— founds, strange, almost unearthly, trom regions lodged within the innermost deptn of his nature, rise and remind him of the indissoluble tte that Dinas him to the Eternal Spirit, who has guided the fate and fortune of his people, and which his efforts, violent as he may exert himsel/, cannot sever. THE NEW YEAR WITH THE JEWS does not mark the close and beginning of a vem- poral epoch; it marks the close and beginning of a new life; it 1s to be the birthday of a new man. It 4s the embodiment in symbolical and legendary form Of ideas of man’s responsiollitty for bis acts to a tribunal that sleeps not, that cannot be in- fluenced, bribed or corrupted, tnat judges man according to his merits. Wherever the Israelite dwells, the coming of the “Day of Memorial” dis- covers a new religious life, @ iresh inverest in the Bynagogue. The ceremonies of the holy festival are peculiar in recalling literally the scriptural record. The preservation of our race In its parity, Bays the Jewish Messenger, has depended in no slight degree upon the retention of these and simi- Jar ordinances, Ten days of penitence follow this festival, and then comes Yom Hakippurim, the Atonement Day. The Jewish ecclesiastical system, although deprived in this age of the power to discipiine or to excommunicate, has wondertul and adequate Jorce in the duty of self-examination and self-cor- rection imposed by the days of Memorial and Pent- tence. The ‘New Year” can never be divested of its sacred significance. It is a perpetual reminder of the law whereby it was instituled. Judaism is thus revived ahd strengthened every year, THE ANCESTRAL FAITH NEVER DI®S. But thougn there is a degree of solemnity con- nected with this day, there is also a'measure of joy belonging to And in the midst of a plain- tive wail over the changes that have taken place during: the it eccieslastical year the Hebrew Leader brushes away itd tears to say:—‘This dim vale of time is the nursery of angels, and the pacsing. years are but the bright hera!ds of God, to lead His children to their eternal home.” Sermons commemorative of this event will be reached to-day in all the synagogues of the land. v.

NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, THE BLOODY RECORD, League in Tennessee, KU KLUXISM REVIVED. | | Ive of an out! A Traitor Outlaw Taken from Jail and Lynched. MURDERERS OF JULIA HAYDEN. Horrible Fate of a Detective Too Bold and Zealous. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 7, 1874, “Dead men tell no tales’ is tne idea acted upon by the lawless bands in Tennessee designated Ku Klux, and woe unto the informer that betrays them! Detectives that hunt them down have to summon all their sagacity to keep out of their ciutches, and avoid the fate that overtook the ill-starred Barmore in 1868 The whole country at the time was shocked, even in those days of bloodsned, at the secret but death-dealing blow that struck him to the ground. At that time the lawless organizations had grown to such magni- tude that a reward of $600 was offered for every one that was apprehended, Tempted by the re- ward Barmore undertook to discover who and what they were. He visited diferent points, looked ground, picked up what information he could and started tn pursuit of the Ku Klux. He was an individual whose own peculiar character- istics would have made nim remarkabie in any community. He called himself the “Great Western Detective,” of Chicago, and was successful in hunting down a great many criminals. He was fond of show, and was very foppish in his dress, His ordinary costume consisted of @ biack velvet suit, with broad and conspicuous trimmings, coat cut claw-hammer style. He wore @ heavy watch and chain, carried a large gold headed cane, adorned his fingers with heavy seal rings, and, most conspicuous of all, wore a large cross pin in his necktie of Alaska diamonds, BARMORE'S FATE, He circulated around in Middle Tennessee, and @ mask and black gown being found in his trunk alter his death it was supposed that he had joined the band in order to more fully discover their pians and identify them for arrest. He was the only man that had ever succeeded in ascertaining the names of those in any o! the organizations, He had ferreted out many of them, and was only biding his time to deliver them over to the authorities, Thus driven to the wall, as it were, the Ku Klux had no alternative short of actual assassination of the man who thus held their lives in his hands, They summoned councils and devised means to make away with him ina manner so as not to be dis- covered. A plan matured, they sent a decoy des- patch to their victim, which stated that the trial ofa negro, whom he had arrested at Pulaski, was vo be neld next day at that place. He took the evening train in order to be in Pulaski by the next morning. When the train arrived at Columbia several men, heavily disguised, boarded it, The night was very dark, and the men had been before unobserved. They entered the car and be- gan looking around for the detective. As he saw them he instinctively felt that he was the object of their search, and crouched down as much as pos- sible without attracting observation between the seats, But it was all to no purpose, the unmistaka- ble garb would have betrayed him anywhere. The men seized him and hurried him out of the car. After this no tidings could be heard of the missing Barmore for several weeks, wheo his body was found in the bed of Duck River, so disfigured by decomposition that @ hare lip was the only means by which he was identified. In the same manner the Ku Klux will execute one of their own number should he betray them. ORIGIN OF THE KU KLUX. The first band of Ku Klux was formed in Pulaski, Giles county, and was organized in opposition to the Loyal League, a@ secret society, composed of carpet-baggers, scalawags and negroes. At first they meant only to ward of the depredations committed by the latter, and to act wholly on the defensive in protecting themselves and their families, At this time the band was composed, tt ‘was thought, of the best citizens of the State, but as time passed on the better class of members ore out Of it, and it soon ceased to be a Tegular organization. What are now denominated Ku Klux are mere parties of idle vagabonds, who become outlaws, and keep the whole State in a condition of 1ermeutation. They bear the same relation to the original Ku Klux bands that a bastard offspring does to a legitimate child. One of the first obligations of these bands is to be true unto death in keeping to himself wno his asso- ciates ave and what are the rules of the organiza- tion. Like all lawiess bands fidelity to one an- other is their only safeguard, COWARDLY BUTCHERY OF AN OLD MAN, A short time since @ party of maskea men went to the house of an old colored man in Putnam county, named Dick McKinly. oi age, quiet and unobtrusive, and his only crime was @ boast that no Ku Klux should drive him from his home. He intended staying there, mak- | ing a living, and woald attend to his own business, Tols was repeated around, and a party of men wearing masks undertook to punish him-for the remark. They appeared at the dvor of his cabin, commenced pounding on it and succeeded in breaking it down. As they entered McKinly seized an axe with which to defend himself, As ne raised it one of tne party, named Petty, fired at him and shot him in the abdomen. The old man then struck at Petty, when both fell to the ground. Another of the ussauiting party then Tan up to McKinly, seized the axe and struck him @ fatal biow on the head, making a terri- ble gash, from which the brain protruded. Not content with this flendish act James Rush, an- other of the devilish gang, shot at the already dy- ing victim, hitting him in the back, while the ‘Weapon Was 80 close as to set his shirt on fire and scorch his fesh. The party then leit the scene of the murder to ramble about the country and to seek what further mischief they migat find it in their power to perpetrate. BETRAYED. A man named Franklin Hall was arrested by | Sheriff Gregory and Ellis Harper, a citizen o1 Wii- son county, on suspicion of being one of the petrators of the bioody deed. close quarters and being pressed to make @ con- easton Hall acknowledged his own guilt, and turn- ing State’s evidence, implicated seven other men, Whose names are Joseph Petty, Timothy Apple, James Bush, John Bush, Alexander Draper, Buiord Calicut and Carrol Reed, all irom Smith and ad- joining counties, During the affray and promiscu- ous shooting Jobn Bash was shot in the arm by one of his own party, while Timothy Apple re- ceived a cut in the knee from the axe. According to this confession the authorities proceeded to overtake and arrest the parties named. They captured James Bush and Buford Ualicut, The tree prisoners were lodged in jail at Cookville, the county seat of Putnam connty. By this time the news of Hall's coniession spread through the community, and the men who were implicated naturgily felt as if the noose were ady about their flecks. One of their own number had be- trayed them, and as they told the news one to an- other their cheeks blanched, and stalwart men trembled as they reflected that they were stand- ing over an abyss and might at any moment be pre- cipitated into its yawning depths. On Thursday night last Cookvillé had its own private panorama, sunilar to those whose dreadiul details have be- come 80 common of late—a panorama in which ,Masked men who do not dare to let the right hand know what evil the left is doing, and who choos; the season of midnight darkness, when mor honest citizens are unprepared to check them in their dastardly career, are the actors on the one side, while heipless prisoners, who are already in the grip of the law, are on the other, There is no hate like love or friendship to hatred turned, and these men, in their blind tury, cared not that less than @ week before the very man jor whose biood they now thirsted had slept with them, ate with them, eat dare he with their plans and pleasures aud Clasped their bands in the full spirit of brother- hood. It mattered little to them now that he was the first to prove false, and by betraying them sought to shield himself irom the punishment he deserved us well a8 they. THE LYNCHING. Asthe nocturnal cavaicade rode through the streets of the slumbering town the solitary ov- servers surmised that their errand was jail break- ing; and the jailor himself, as he heard the tramp- ing of horses’ hoots, felt that he was powerless to protect the doomed one who had stirred the ire of such @ reckless mob, but he resolved to save his prisoner if he could. The coarse, loud tones of one oi the masked desperadoes who acted as spokesman now made demands for Frank Hall. | The jailer enseavered to stay them from thelr He was sixty years | r+ ‘inding nimeelt in | Murderous designs, but threats and curses com- pelied him to yield and to open the jail door, The Men rushed in, ook possession of the three men whom they wanted, went out again, mounied their horses and rode off. James Bush and Buiord Calicut were released; but Hall, when rhe first demand re- | sounded through the midnight air, knew that, Latest Operations of the White | the jailer overpowered, his fate was sewled, Roagh hands eeized tim, and a volley of oaths and such terms as “sneak,” “hypocrite,” “traitor,” greeted his appearance among his former companions. Hall begged piteousty, but his captors Kept on with such siient grimness that he felt that they would show him no mercy. He clung to Itfe, although henceforth it would be whe w and a murderer. They paid no attentions to his supplications, but rode on to the edge of the town, and there each man took aim and shot to death the misguided, miserable victim. The most strenuous efforts are being put forth to secure the men impiicated by Hal's con- fess:on, and who are now at large. Belore Calll- cut’s release he consessed that he belonged to an organized band and mentioned @ number of men who were memoers ofit, Tbe men are all weil Known in the community and fuli descriptions of them have been obtained, THR JULIA HAYDEN MURDERERS, The people of Wilson and Trousdale counties have been using their utmost endeavors to appre+ hen the murderers of Julia Hayden, and have ur- rested and placed in jail Bowen Sanders and Pat Lyons, who are implicated. They were both brought vefore Judge Williamson at Lebanon on Saturday tor preliminary trial. Some of the very | best lawyers of the State have been employed to eel the men and ferret out the mystery. ‘ne prisoners have had retained very able coun- sel, and the probabilities are tnat the case will be strongly contested. The court room was crowded nd much interest was manisested in the case, the people being desirous that the criminals should be devected and brougut to justice. ‘The prisoners will be tried separately. Aller a good deal oO! discussion the counsel for the State said they were not ready for trial, and, on afidavit being filed, Judge Williamson postponed tne investigation until to-morrow. Bowen Sanders is said to have coniessed that he and two other men (Pat Lyons ud Wash Tomlinson), residents of Taylorsville, hae county, were the perpetrators of tne crime. Tomlison has not yet been arrested, but Ellis Harper, who was mainly ins:rumental in captur- ing the other two, is close upon his track. Jt is stated that on the evening belore the.event three men were seen by different parties on the road leading toward the scene of the murder, Sanders Was seon in the neighborhood next morning. lt seems thay pe object of {heir visit to Lowe's, where the girl boarded, was to rob him of money. Bowen Sanders demred to flee the country, being an outlaw and jugitive from justice. SANDERS FIGHIING THR POLICE, About six weeks ago he went into Lebanon. Being Saturday there were a great many people in town, and they were quite hilarious, indulging in irequent drinks. Sanders was much the worse for liquor, and while walking around the public square stepped up to @ gentleman named Belab, who was sitting in a store door. He began to jeer at the man, knocked his nat off, used very rough language to him and insulted him in various ways. Mr. Belah was not to be msulted with impunity, and resenting it Sanders attempted to draw Lis pistol upon him, When he was arrested before any damage was done, Sanders then promised that Mw the officers who had him under arrest yould release hi be = would home and leave Oi Bs obstrépérous conduct. On this promise and after surrendering his pistol he was released. Not regarding his promise as in any way binding upon him Sanders went to bis grandiather’s, procured @ double- barrelled shotgan and returned to the square out of & pure braggadocio spirit. As he was passing across the square City Marshal Foust saw bim, and, observing that be was armed, called to hin to halt, Foust also belug armed with a shotgun. On hearing his name calied Sanders turned around and pointed his gun towards Foust, who, seeing him thas about to shoot, fred upon him, whereupon he discharged his gun and wounded Foust in the 10ot and advanced toward bim. Foust again fired and again missed Sanders, Hearing the gunshots other policemen and a namoer of citizens coltected on the square, the former taking part in the fray, Sanders stood his ground in the face of eight or ten armed wen, ail whom were shooting at nim, like fect daredevil. It was not had been wounded four times and began to weaken from the loss of blood that he gave himself up and surrendered his gun. He was struck by butleta in the head, the right breast, the shoulder and the hip, which wounds in his great excitement he paid not the least attention to, but seemed to regard in the light of mere pin scratches. He was very deflant at bis trial, and said that he was not being treated fairly, He was heavily fined and $3,000 security demanded jor lis future good conduct; but having had the charac- ter of being of a bebligerent disposition and a bully from childhood he found no one willing to vouch for bis good vehavior tor tweive months or even for that many days. In default of pail ne was re- manded to jail, sooner were his wounds healed sufficiently than he‘broke the jail at Lebanon, and was dodging around the country when the murder of Julia Hayden occurred, of which crime he is now accused. Alter his arrest he was brought to Nashville and placed in a jail where he could neither break out so easily nor be rescued, should he have friends sul- ficiently interested in nim to attempt it, ders was carried back to Lebanan on Saturday morn- ing, Where he and Lyons were to have their. pre- limioary examination, The Jail has since been strongly guarded by ten men night and day. FEDERAL INTERFERENCE. Tne fact that two more companies, besides the four or five already stationed in Tennessee, have been ordered tere, is an evidence tnat the State is to have the interference of the government in its local affairs, despite the prompt measures set on foot by Governor Brown, who has gone so far as to depart jor Trenton, there personally to look into matters and to assert, if possible, the suprem- acy of the civil law. According to aap Gen- eral Williams’ pronunciamento, ‘the United States Marshals will become the acting Gover- nors, and their deputies so many Lieutenant Governors, while the civil Governor will be an officer o/ nominal fanovions, and it is 80 regarded here. The people have bo objection to the incom- ing of the troops, because they regard it some- thing in the light of @ financial benefit; tor soldiers spend all or nearly all of their pay in Whatever locality they may bappen to be placed. When young Hildreath, Deputy United States Mar- shal, Was killed in Coffee county not tong since, while attempting to arrest 8. J. Sanders, indicte for whipping & hegro, a company of soldiers were sent to keep the peace in that locality, They re- mained there until quite recently, Alter they had departed for other scenes @ Lierchant of Man- chester was asked if he was not heartily glad of their removal. “No,” he responded; “1 would have neen heartily glad if they had remained. It Would have been money im my pocket.’ | By this it would seem that the people do not so much creat the soldiery, but the usurpa- tion of power w! may be the sequence of tbe extraordinary au. |. ity conferred upon the Mar- shals without reierence to the State authority that they deprecate. ‘vey tear that with this new departure from a recognized course, in which the civil ocers of a State yovernment have hereto- fore been consulted, there may be experiences even worse, if possible, than those already had. MILITARY RULE DREADED, The question witn them is whether the present interierence will not finally termimate in the organizations of courts martial and the civil law be subjected to the military. When the govern- ment has once sent in @ company it will be an easy matter to follow it up with regiments, brigades, divisions, and, in fact, to soon concentrate an army. The government is put to it to furnish troops enough to do_ duty on the Plains, where there is continual and actual wariare. It is believed that all the oid companies Will be filled ap with raw recruits antil the size of the army is doubied. With the present in- dignation which the people of this State feel toward the midnight masked marauders it wouid hot require more than 600 troops to keep Ten- nessee in a perfect state of security. The great miass of its population are more than willing that the law should be rigidiy maintained and made as obligatory upon the blacks as upon the whites. Twenty soldiers in each of the counties wherein lawiessress has prevailed would suffice, or in lieu of these @ good posse of resolute citizens kept well together, determined to suppress such scenes as have lately disgraced the community, 1am induced to beleve that the peo- ple could better suppress It than United States sol- diers could, though they Might render themselves hable to be “spotted”? and victimized at some hour when they least expected it, An entire peo- Ple should not be denounced for the mad caprices of @ few vagabonds, Every convention yet held since the outrage bas passed condemnatory reso- lutions, KU KLOX INTIMATION. It would probably be of no disadvantage if a troops were distributed in those count have been the scenes of outlawry. It wot duce @ Kind of scare that might be benetici It is doubtful whether the troops would do any good in suppressing outrages few that poy might be stationed at one Ku Klux party could e, while a do any mischief they chose at @ far dwtant point and disperse before the soldiers would hear of it. They could ee yee an outrage, while is wouid be very dimicat to make Saititees Unless a clew was Ob- tained and followed up immediately. The armed body of troops migbt be a nucleus around which the civil authorities could act without fear of tn- ‘midation from the lawless bands, The hanging of Hall in Putnam county by his masked asso- Ciates, a8 detailed above, has brought about such @ State ol terror Mm that county that one hardly dares to have an opinion concerning the outrage, much igas let thatopmmion be known. It is an ab- ject fear that makes cowards of whole communt- ties, although they are base cowards who produce the fear. It is their manner of attacking in detail, coming upon their victims when unprepared, that gives them such a terrivle supremacy. THE TRENTON MASSACRE. Itis doubtfal whether State or federal court will ever be able to discover the perpetrators of the Trenton massacre, Each of the seventy-five Marauders in all probability have a large counec- tion of family and trienda, who, periips, do not know of theit Kinsmen had @ hand in tt, or, if knowing, the tortures of the Inquisition could not Jorce it {rom them. Those participating in the outrage are bound together by a wie that death itself can only sever—a tie cemented by blood. Their lips are sealed and no power on earth can open them. Even had one of the spectators, of whom there were afew, recognized one or many of the masked party nothing could induce him to wield up thst knowledge, The citizen, while per- ; tne bis Views on one of the prominent topics of @n organized body. | SEPTEMBER 12, 1874.—TRIPLE SHEET, haps deprecating 1t, could not be persuaded to | testily against bis own flesh and blood or against hig frienda or neighbors, SAVE THE SOUTH. | Thurlow Weed and the Fropored National Con- vention—The Example of Jamaica in Negro Emancipation. A HERALD representative called upon the vener- | sole Thurlow Weed at bis residence in West Twelfth street yesterday for the purpose of obtain- political consideration at this time—namely, the Proposed assembling of a national convention to deliberate upon the prevailing condition of things in the South, and to suggest remedtes for existing evils, The “Nestorofthe Press’ was notin very good heaith, and his mind was already preoccupied with the labor of arranging data and memoranda tor use at the coming Syracuse Convention, at which he intends to be present. But after the subject of the interview had been broached Mr. Weed re- marked tnat tt was a imatter ef vast importance, and demanded careful and deliberate considera- tion, The article in Monday's H&RaLp on the pro- posed National Convention was then at his re- quest read to him, Mr. Weed interpolating some of | his sage reflections as the reading proceeded. THURLOW WEED REVIEWS ONE OF THE HERALDS ARTICLES, The first paragraph, reciting that ‘the principal thought in the minds of the Northern people, so far ag the South 1s concerned, at least since the close of the war, has been one of self-preservation,” he said was emphatically true, That “we have been anxious to preserve the fruits | of that struggle without risk or per- adventure,” dia not admit of a doubt. And the reference to the expenditure of ‘treas- ure,” “blood,” “effort” and “sacrifices,” beside the great ‘‘accemulation of the public debt,’ was not to be disputed. He thought this paragraph, as also the second one referring to our peticy of dealing witb the South, was not only true, bat ly expressed, He indorsed the opinion that President Lincoln would bave carried out @ policy of reconstruction, singularly liberal and comprehensive, had not death intervened,” and that “Johnson would have Racomnes in his gene: rous plan but for the massacre at New Orleans in 1866." And he assented to the fact that ‘anarchy in Arkansas, Tonuaias mm jp Loulsiana, and con- fiscation in South Carolina’? not only was evident, but that wherever we looked ‘there is chaos,” WHERKIN MR, WEED DOES NOT ACCORD WITH THE ERALD. “There are,’ observed Mr. Weed, ‘‘certain assev- eratious in prragraphs three and four which are true; but,” he continued, “when the writer com- ares the situation of the Southern States alter he war with France after the struggle with Prussia, he makes @ serous mistake. The seceding States were not punished by a fine, but were visited by a@ penalty, that resuiting from the fact that they had unnecessarily made war upon tne Union. During the war the South represented to loreigners—and succeeded im inducing some of them to believe it—that the war was forced upon tem by (the North. when such was nos the fact at all The North was not in any sense the aggressor. It ‘Was Willing to recoguize and did recognize and protect slavery in the States where 1t already ex- | sisted, Dut was unwilling to ald In extending it into | the new Territories, It wished simpiy to cueck its extension, This was what FIRED THE SOUTH, and for this reason alone its leaders threw down the gage of battle.

ON THE ROARING FORK RIVER, ROcKY MOUNTALNS, August 22, 1874. Game of all kinds abounds in great profusion in these mountains, Elk, deer, antelope, the griz- zly bear, rabbits, squirrels and grouse are the species you find tn almost every mountain top and in nearly every canyon. You may, in fact, call the Rocky Mountains the nunter’s paradise; and no traveller contemplationg a journey through the mountains should come unprepared with rifle, shot- gun, large sized revolver and bunting knife. Know- ing that there are thousands of gentlemen on the Camp OF HAYDEN'S ne ivan} Atlantic slope who have a passion for la chasse, I | Will try to tell them how to come to Colorado ata moderate expense and enjoy easy hunting, for hunting bere is not a fatiguing business, A single traveller may come out and go through the mountains alone; but as I conclude that few Americans are fond of the soll- tary life, living wholly within one’s self, Jet us inquire how congenial gentlemen can com- bine and organize a party, say of five, and enjoys season of the rarest sport in the wide world, In the first place asto the chief personnel. There should be neither any very young men nor very old men connected with the party, unless the young men are mature for their age and the old ones those juvenile specimens who never get sere and yellow leafisn and who never have aches and gouts and dyspepsia. if these extremes meet in the mountaind both are burdens, The youth ts thrnst into a pure atmosphere, acquires an un- natural appetite, becomes ‘bilious, relapses into mountain fever and is soon lazy and a camp muisance, If the elder has led @ lively life, ac- | customea to his matutinal cocktail, noon julep and evening brandy and soda, which are indis- pensable, he will not do.

Elk, which have superb antlers and weigh srom 400 to 700 pounds when dressed, are stupid in | the presence of the hunter, generally following their leader regardless of consequences. Mountain sheep are easy game to kill, and make delicious meat, a8 do the deer and fawn. Our camp has been supplied daily with these species, rie rife could supply abundance of the cholcest meat for party of eight througuout the three montha. About the middle of september the high mountain game are driven down into the valleys and on the plateaux by the approach of winter and then the siaughter of the hunter is at its Leigit.
