An order has boon issued from tho
Treasury Department, uudcr dato of

made in tho uniform of the U. S. Jlev
cnuc .uarinu on tlio Lakes and else

It ih supposed the House will debate
for a week the Ku Klux bill. Tho
Senate will then take it up and make it
the subject of elaborate discussion.
While this legislation for the benefit

the subject.
OUJl I'llKFEUKSCK.
Thu state legislature of Wisconsin
adjourned home days ago. h'o also did
the legislatures of Arkansas and other
southern States. The former is niado
up of white Iladicals and tho latter of
black Iladicals and carjet baggers.
h either oi thu genus homo commands
a largo amount of our resiiect, but of
tho two, give us the former.
The Wisconsin Legislature was Had
ical to tho back bono and as a coute
quenco was corrupt in intent and pur
poses, but with a decent respect for tbo
opinion of the world, its behavior was
seemly, no matter how corrupt its legis
latiou. Iu contrast to this we have
tho Iladical southern Legislatures
Mack men and white, who know ncl
tlicr law, order nor decency, and whose
every instinct points to the gratifica
tion of their own wishes and tho hu
miliation of tho people whom they are
elected to serve, arc foNtcd upon the
people of tho South, and by thoir ac
ttons in Hie nans oi Mate, make
the country a mark for the scorn of
decent and respcctablo people every
where, and tervu to show their ontiro'
unfitness for the places they occupy.
Now, of tho two, commend us to the
whito radicals, give us tho whitcd scpul
chcr, iu preference to tho unclean, dis
gusting spectacle, whoso rcpellant ex
terior is only equaled by the darkness
and loathcsomcncsH within.

zntion li made of scape-soata of every-root
rago in the country. Tbo original
organization is now out .of too
exutecco entirely, uud a reliablo
gcniluinon, now In thu city, who was a
member ottbe Klan, is responsible for the
louowing siawmoni oi tacts: ine ivu
Klux Klan was peculiarly of Southorn
orlcln, and was intended to conteract tho
"Grand Army of tho Republic'1- and tho
"Loyal League.', and for the betterprotec-
iion oz ina lamiues oi souiuorn man irom
tho depredations of tho robbers turnod
looio on society after tho war. Their ob
ject was to protect, not to depredato; to
build up, not to destroy. As ovidenoe of
their moUvA petveo and good order tho
oath with each member took unon himself
was n pledge to "suppor the TornrttttrUorr
as given ui iy our forefathers, ana to pro-
leci i no west againii mo itronu. '
This shows that it was only tho disturb-
ors of tho public peaco, tho land-plratos
who follow cloio upon the heels of such
disorganisation ofaoeiety as ensue altor
a long war, who had any cauio to fear the
torrlblo bug-boar of Ku-Kluxlsm.
Its name was suggested by tbo noiio
which tho old army muiket makes when
springing tho lock and discharging tho
piece. Ku Klux Klang tho flrst two
names mauo oy mo iock, -tno last was
V10 hang, or Klang of thu discharge. tU

Their signs and crips woro few and
simple. A member was recognised by
twice, a gontlo pr'ossuro of tbo band, or
wnen nana-snaxtng was not praciicaoio,
passing tbo fingers of tbo left band gently
through tho hair, in rciponio to a
motion from tuo nnger.
Tho Klan was organized, as beforo
stated, and malice toward none. It was
established by tho vory best mon in tbo
country, tho leader of tho confederato
armies, and extended from the Potomac
to tho Rio Grande. -It was composed of
men who loved peace for its own sake ; it
was a nerfuct Knlubt errantry of tbo
southorn statesjas harmlos, and intended
to bo far moro uioful aud subservient of
good morals than tho Loyal league and
theUrand Army but tuo sue ana cry
raited against, and especially tbo fact
that every villain assuuiod its virtues for
tho purpose of perpetrating bis outrages,
finally induced a dUbandment of tbo or
ganization. CJT In Massachusetts lait weok, a child

When tho water in tho upper vosicl

tho parts of tho elapsod. Tho Baby
lonians aro said to have used such Imtru-

Minor cot them, at tbo timo of King Uy-
rui, about tho year i0 beforo Chriit.
Tho Romans did not cot tho first water-1
clock before tho year 180 beforo Ohriit.
But, thouch tho hours of tbo clopiydrao
did not vary in length, they still counted
them from tho morning. When the clock
with us strikes seven, tbo ancients counted
one; when tbo clock with ui strikes
twolvc, thn ancients counted six, aud so
forth. This method of counting tno hour
was, according to the New Testament, also
customary! in Palcstldo at tho time of
Christ. The water-clocks had that ad
vantage, that they could bo used in the
night ; and tbo Romans used them to
dlvldo their nlgbt watches, which wero re
lieved four timoi, both summer and win
ter. Conformable to these for night
watches, tlmu was counted, not only In
Rome, but where ever Roman garrisons
were stationed: consequently, alio In
