KU-KLUX.
The Ku-K!uc of North Carolina are
reported to be "on the increase in the
State and are scourging white women as
well as other persons." They are also
becoming more daring and avow a pur
pose to openly fight, if any of them
are punished. They boast of their or
ganization and strength ih all of the States
an 1 are outrageous enough to be ready
to make war again. This may be an ex
treme view of their pretensions, but there
is no reasonable doubt that the overthrow
of Repadlic:n rule, and the prolonged
debasement of our entire race in this coun
itry, are the foundations of this opposi
and at the same time cause of all the outra
ges indicted. Th: approach of another
Presidintial Election, is alarming. The ill
chances of su,-cess fir the Democratic
party, uandlr existing circtumstances, are
calling up to the level of the encounter,
all the wit and wis.lom of tne Democrat
ic party; and they are bravely and des
perately preparsing for the struggle all
over the country. Congress has not
been too soon in proposing enqniries in
to the co idition of peace and order in'the
Southern States, with the view o; afford
ing some effcti dI renmely, necessary.
Ii"The assau!ters of Sen. Butler waile
on the Bannock City, will have the oppor
tunity of justifying themselve on Satur
day before a "court of competent jnrts
dieti,n" in tie p'uri'sh of Plaquemines,
judge Don A. Pardt e presiding.
ei Hon. M. D. Ednm t lson, the newly
elected Parish Judge of Sabine, attempted a
few days ago to hold a Court, but some
twenty armed men entered the towr, :,*J
swa e I the Judge -o badly, th. ne sought
)e' ge in t :e adj;t ", "t w)oo. Tilis: seem
ed 6 :o all that was intended. The tMd
chiloches Times justifies this act, because it
contends that Supervisor Wheyland return
ed Mr. Edmondson over Mr. W. McNeely,
who rrceived the hones: majority of votes.
It is also declared that Governor Warmnoth
recognized this, when he appointed Wfe
Neely Judge ; and it declares that when the
law ceases t protect the right and to vin
dicate itself, and when the guardians of the
law use their power to trample upon the
rights of the people, only those wh'- are fit
to be slaves tamely sulmit. Men : know
their rights, and knowing, dare maintain
them, prove their devotion to law by strik
ing down the ty ranny which invades those
rights.

Accord:ng to announcement, Rev. C.
H. Thompson, D. D.,. late of Newark,
New Jersey, was duly installed pastor of
Straight University Church, last Sunday
evening. There was a l:arge congregation
pro, ,it, and the exercises were not only
interesting, bht exalted and impressive.
Several ministers were present anld took

Thus; after a years laboring and hop
ir.g, have Wie se.'n the pledge and earnest
of the establishment in our midst of a
liberal, an enlightened, and advancing
church organization. Without the slight
eat intention of derogating one jot or
tittle from the mcrit of other churches,
we cannot avoid the conclusion, that
hitherto we have had no place of wor
ship combining all the elements requisite
to commend it to our respect and devotion.
Radical defects of one kind or another
have repelled those most anxious to fost
er and encourage religious education, and
the moral ennobling of a long down-trod
dan and degraded people.
In the formation of the Straight Unl
versity Church, there is the displ-y of
wisdom, and of a keen appreciation of
the needs of the time, and an evident de
termination to plant an institution which
like a lever shall lift up and elevate all
who come in contact with it. There
eoval of Dr. Thompson, a minister of
acknowledged culture and ability, from a
lare, and prosperous oongregation in
the Nortlh, to New Orleans to preside
over an infant Insutitution, is an indica
tion of the purpos of the movers in this
matter.
We are grtilied to learn that already

SAN DOMINGO COMMISSION.
ABSnRACT 01o THE REPORT OF THE COMMIS
SIOSERR.
WAsnNsorox, March 28.-The San
Domingo Commissioners reached Wash
ington hlat evening, all well, except Mr.
Wade, who was suffering from a quite
severe attack of the pleurisy.
Their report is all ready to be signed,
except the filling in of a few statistical
ligures, and the Commission will, in a
day or two, call in a body upon the
President, and present the documents.
In the report, after a brief outline of
the mainner in which the work was done
and the parts of the island visited, a full
account of the form of government is
given, followed by a reference to the long
series of revolutions, and dissensions ap
proaching that character, and this con
dition of affairs is given as an explana
tion of the more summary measures than
could otherwise be tolerated in a consti
tutional government. The Dominican
Government was found in fuill operation
and exercising every legitimate function
of government, and Baez in full and
peaceable possession of all parts of the
Republic, except the Haytien border,
which is disturbed by revolutionary
loaders assisted by Haytiens. Ba4 z en
joys the respect of a great majority of
the population, and has four times ac
cepted the oflice of Chief Magistrate. It
in a remarkable fact that the President,
Cabinct, Imislature and Judiciary are
in favor of ihying down their power in
fiavor of the United States.
The constant commotion of several
years has completely paralyzed industrial
pursuits, and the resources of the Repub
lic have so diminished that it cannot pay
expenses, and the confidence of the
people alone could have preserved its
existence.
Cabral occupies three or four moun
tain villages, and, with a small force has
baen able to disturb a considerable di
trict for a long time, though he has few
Dominican followers.
Luperon has lately created distnrb
ances in the north of the island, but it
could not be discovered that either of
these leaders had a fag or organized
government, even in form. The inces
sant trouble from such leaders led the
population to agree to the Spanish occu
pation, but the harshness of the rule of
Spain, the folly of many measres
adopted, and a fear of re-enslavement,
led to withdrawin the 8panirds from
the island.
The popnlation is kSed at one hundred
and sixty thousand ; many oi the richest
portions of the island are uninhabited.
'Thepeople had generally heard of the
qaestiof anien o all parta of
eisand~ sd· it· Ad bern emoned
everywhere. There was a nearly unan
imoonus feeling that peace and tranquiilty
could come only from annexation. The
greater friendhip for the United States
than for other powers is due largely to
colonies which went on to the island
years ago. The people seem more un
animous for annexation than the Com
mission has known any people to be
upon a great political question. An ex
ceedingly small portion is opposed to
annexation, and these are chiefly traders
or agents of foreign houses, whose busi
ness would suffer by the change. The
Commission, and all connected with it,
traveled in all parts of the island with
out guard or weapon, and in perfect
safety.
The physical, mental and moral condi
tion was found much better than antici
pated. The population is almost wholly
of mixed blood, in every conceivable
Vree. The cultivated and educated,
such as the officials, compare well with
the same class in other countries, and the
uneducated appear as well as the same
class elsewhere. There is an entire ab
sence of all prejudice of race or color ;
they appear respectful and polite, kind
and hospitable. High crimes, according
to the statements of their judges, are
nearly unknown. All are Roman Cath
olics, except the American emigrants
sent out by the Colonization Society in
1824. They live among the Catholics in
peace and harmony. The people are
poor, and live in cheap dwellings, but in
tie country all have as much land as
they desire to cultivate, and they are not
averse to work when certain of return.
There are few schools, and the great
mass of the people are uneducated, but
show a strong desire to learn.
The resources of the country are vast
and various, and capable of great in
crease.
Iron ore is abundant, and possibly
available for manufacturing iron.
Copper ores are of a fair degree, but
the mines have not been extensively
opened.
The reported coal of Samana is only
lignite, and of little value as fueL
Little is known of the gold regions.
Salt deposits are extensive and valu
able.
Considerable space is devoted to set
ting forth the richness of the soil and
the variety ~ tropicri products, and
chose of the temperate regions found on
the uplands.
The island is repr:.nted as g'erall~
healthy, but aeclimatirng is necessary.
This part of the report is not finished.
Earthquakes are not frequent. In
autumn hurricanes are.
The public debt statement is to be
compared with later data received by
the Commission to see if they have been
furnished with correct figures. As now
made up, the debt is, in round numbers,
$1,400,000; additional pending claims,
$204,000 including one of $70,000 by
President Baez, for personal property
destroyed in the Spanish war; and under
the first head $600,000 for back salaries.
The total is given at $1,556,000. The
official satement of receipts of the
Government for 1870 show a total of
$772,000, and one of the items is for im
port dues alone over $600,000.
The Commission find no foundation
for the statement that Dominica is bound
to Hayti for an indemnity sum to
France. No treaties of any consequence
exist between Dominica and other po wers.
The only settled boundary between
Hayti and San Domingo is the old
Spanish and French line of 1777. When
the Haytiens were driven out of the east
part of the island, there remained, as
disputed territory, a considerable extent
east of the old boundary. This is still in
dispute. Of this the Haytiens have held
in pra~tically constant control the towns
of San Rafael, San Miguel, and Los
Caubas.
The Bonica Valley, east of these, and
Neyba District, have been alternately
overrun by both parties. The claim of
Hayti to the boundary of the Geffrard
map, which is the meridian through Aha
Vela, is regarded as pleposterous. The
extent of territory within the old bound
ary of 1777 is found by new and careful
computation to be 22,212 square miles.
The portion of this Republic referred to
as having been mainly in Haytien occu
pancy is about 10,000 square miles.
The history of grants and concessions
given by the Commission is about the
same as already widely published in the
North.
The report is very strong in condem
natio of the stories that Government
oficials of the United States lhave been
privately interested in them.
The Dominican Governmenat was found
willing to agree to the terms of the treaty
as now concluded but not ratified, and
for the only change, think it fair that an
acconnt of the great and unexpected ex
pense of the Government attending the
delay that the sum paid for Samanm, and
now due, be not deducted in the fhqal
settlement. It was also agreed by
Dominica that one-fifth of the public
lands should be set aside for school par
poses, provided the United State would
grant 800,000 aerea for agricultural eol

OcxOxEOnE AGREED UPON THE MAIN
PONTS OF THE REPORT.

upon the subject of the health and debt
of the Dominican Republic. They may

COLORED CONVENTION.
The Indianopolis Journal of March 23,
contains a very interesting repy rt of the
proceedings of a State Colored Men's
Convention, which met on the 22nd. The
object was "to exchange sentiments upon
our future coume as citisens and any
other matters that may come before the
Convention."
We quote largely from the report that
our friends may see what is being thought
and said by ourselves on questions of
vital interest tons.
The Convention was called to order by
J. S. Hinton, Chairman of the Executive
Committee, who introduced Rev. Mr.
Bassett, who led the Convention in
prayer.
Mr. Hinton then adressed the Con
vention briefly, stating the objects for
which it was called.
A committee of one from each county
represented was then appointed to report
officers for the permanent organization.
They made the following report, which
was accepted :
President--J. S. Hinton, Marioncoun
ty.
Vice Presidents-John Carter, Jeffer
son county ; C. B. Clemens, Randolph
county ; J. N. Weaver, Wayne county.
Secretary-W. G. Robinseon, Wayne
county.
Assistant Secretary-W. N. Chambers,
Johnson county.
The following Committee on Resolu
tions was appointed :
W. G. Robinson, Wayne county;
Alex. Moss, Miami county ; Moses
Broyles, Marion county ; Alfred Carter
Vanleiburg county ; John Carter, Clark
county.
The Committee on Business, consist
ing of the following gentlemen, was then
appointed :
J. G Britton, Marion county: .i M.
Wnover, Wayne county :. lofl Ma
rion county.
The Couwertio! then adjourned until
- P. i.
The following are the resolutions as re
ported by the Committee :
Re olerd, That none of the clearly
avowed and authorized purposes of the
Republican party should be abandoned ;
that the dignity and power of the present
administration of the National Govern
ment should in all respects be upheld and
vindicated.
RefvPed, That the best interest and
faith of the Government, as well as the
protection of the loyal citizens of the
South, both black and white, require a
strict, continued and unfaltering adher
ence to the act of Congrees of July 2d,
1862, requiring among other things, all
,parsons elected to offices of honor or
profit under the Government of the
United States, before entering upon the
res.pective duties thereof, to swear or af
tirm that they have not volnntarily borne
armns against the United States, or given
aid or comfort, or encouraged the ene
mies thereof, or sought or accepted or
attempted to exercise the functions of
any office under any authority or pre
tended authority hostile to the United
States Government, or yielded a willing
support to any preteaded government or
a~umority or constitution within the
boundaries of the United States; also
the act of Congress of the 17th of July,
1862, particularly the third section there
of.
Rte·a d, That the word "white" as it
occurs at present in article 4 and section
4'and 5 of the constitution is anti-Re
publican, unjust and contrary to the
Constitution of the United States, and
only remains a disgraceful evidence of
the wicked and unjust barbarism of past
legislation against our people,and should
be stricken out or repealed.
Resolvted, That the reconstruction acts
of Congress are just and constitutionally
the law of the land, and the attempt of
the Democratic Legislature of this State
to nullify the ratification of the Fifteenth
Amendment of the Constitution is ab
horrent to every sense of right and jus
tice, and was as illegal as base ; and we
will ever hold the Democratic party in
supreme contempt for its anjus legisla
tion against our people, and we will do
allwe can to keep that party outof
power, and warn our people South
against their empty and insidious pre
tensions to friendship~ which are only in
tended to deceive and mislead them.
Resolveda, That the benevolent institu
tions of the State were designed for the
benefit of all classes of raortunstes
without regard to color or race, and all
clauses should enjoy their benefta ; and
we depreeatu the policy heretolore adopt
ed by the manager. of these instittions
in iwfsrence to colored people, and ask
for them inthe future the ,ame rights
and privileges as are given to any other
class of people
esodted, That our only hope of a moral
and socisal and politirl reform in the
Southern half of our Unionliesinthe
rule and radical exereis of the trm
princiaplesof the Ispablisa party, sad a
rigid enfacement of the rsemmtmstraie

tion by the united efforts of the great
mass ofthpeople in support of the great
and redeeming -principles of the Repub
lican party, by a thorogh.- politieal or
ganisation pledged to tast purpose, be
fore the next Presidential election.
Remdoed, That we will lend no aid or
assistance to any party not fully and un
conditionally pledged to enforce and
encourage and de~'ead the doctrine of
equal right , and the application of the
same rule of justice to all classes of citi
zens without distinction on account of
color or condition, as established by the 13th,
14th and 15th amendments to the Constitu
tion of the United States.
Resolved, That webelieve that the popular
sentiment of the great mass of the people is
to preserve intact the great moral principle
inculcated in the reconstruction measures
adopted by Congress-once they are pro
perly understood and appreciated-and it is
the imperative duty of every m*n to use
every effort possibly in his power to educate
the public mind up to these high moral
principles.
Resoved, That we look with deep re
gret upon the present condition of the
laboring millions of our people, which
has been entailed upon them by the de
grading influence of slavery, and will la
bor without ceasing to esevate the stand
ard of labor, and do hereby point our
people to the rich and fertile territories
of the West for cheap homes, and our
young men and women to the various
mechanical pursuits that offer such wide
field of usefulness.
Resolved, That the late ramp Legisla
ture, for duplicity, obsequiousness and
servility, will ever stand memorable, and
without a parallel for party prejudice and
lawless legislation in the history of any
legislative body in the country.
Reesoued, That we learn with profound
regret of the threatened disturbance be
tween the Hon. Charles Sumner, anr his
friends, and .ta-...acal friends of the
Adnstration of President Grant, and
hope for a peaceful and amicable polu
tion of the threatened difficulties.
Re orwed, That the many outrages com
mittcd on Republicans, white and color
ed, in the Southern States by the Rebel
Democratic Ku-Klux, demand the imme
diate atte-ntion of Congress, and whereas
there is no protection from such outrages
in the State Courts, we, in behalf of our
Retablican brothers in the South, here
by petition Congress to give the Federal
Courts exclusive jurisdiction over all
criminal cases in the Southern States
growing out of political differences, in
order that strict justice may be meted out
to all offenders.
1keotl ed, That this convention instruct
the Committee on Resolutions to write
and publish an address to the friends of
the Republican party before the Conven
tion adjourns.
Rresd., That we oppose all class dis
tinctions in Church, Strte or school, and
believe that separate Church and schot 1
organizations are inimicable to the best
interests of our people.
Resohnd, That we depreciate the con
duct of the Trustees of the public schools
in some of the localities in this State, in
refusing to preparing suitable houses for
colored schools, and the employment of
colored teachers when competent, and
colored teachers can be obtained.
The resolutions, with the exeption of
the one naxt to the last, were adopted
without much debate or oppoition.
The one mentioned, however, emeited con
siderable disacuseion, which was limited
to ten minute speeches. Nearly every
one present participated, ad ventilated
it thoroughly. Pending the disekasion a
motion was made to adjourn.
Before adjourning the Seretary read a
letter from R A. arwson, Represent
tire in the ArknemM Legislature, expre
sing sympathy with the eonvention, and
in forming the eonvention of a similar
movement in that State, and also in Ala

THE WAR INDEMNITY.
A Belgian paper has the following e~
rious calculation in reference to the fh
hundred millions of money said to de
manded by Count Bismarek, as an i
demnity for the losses suffered by t6
Germans during the war:
"Ten milliards in 5: pieces would we
50,000,000 kilogrammes. To traast
them all at once by rail would reqpr
train of 10,000 wagons, assuing i4
wagon to be capabie of carrying
kilogrammes. If you were to make ag
out of the ten milliards in U. pieeua
such a manner that each coin aheme
touch its neighbor, it would go one
three-qurter times around the earth. I
f. pieces, such a girdle would go are
than four times around the earth. If tb
ten milliards in St pieces were hasp.dq
on each other in a column, they werd
reach the height of 5400 kilometres.a
10e0 legues (8340 Engl'.J miles). Sep
Mesng this column of coins to have it
base at Paris and to fall in the directic
of Berlin, the part of the column whish
would strike the latter city would be
hardly one-fifth of the entire length frm
the base of the column. If a ready cashier
who can on an average count 40,000 .
pieces per hour, were alone to attend to
the counting of the ten milliards, and if
he were to begin at the age of thirty, and
to be engaged at it eight hours of the
day, and 300 days in the year, be would
be 135 years old before he had complet
ed the task. He would then assuredly
be convinced of the truth of the proverb,
"'Money does not bring happiness' "
Ocn Mmorms.-Round the idea of ones
mother, the mind of a man clings wi
fond affection. It is the first deep thoit
stamped upon our infant hearts whe
vet soft and capable ofreceiving the most
profound impression, and the after feel
ings of the world are more or leaslight
in comparison. Even in our old age we
lwok back to that feeling as the sweets
we have through life. Our passions and
our wilfulness may lead us far from the
object of our tilial love ; we learn even
to pain her heart, to oppose her wishs,
to violate her commands ; we may be
come wild, head-strong and angry at her
counnels or opposition ; but when death
has stilled her monitory voice,and nothing
but still memory remains to -ecapitlate
her virtues and good deeds, aectios,
like a lower beate to the groundby
past stormn, ramises up her head and
miles among her tears Bound tbt
idea, as we have said, the mind chlp
with fond affection ; and even when tbhe
earlyperiod of our lose, forces memory
tobe silent, fancy takes the place of re
mesmbrane, and twines the image of dor
dead parent with grace and besotie~
and virtues which we doubt net ,he
