In complying with the pro visions ot this joint resolution, therefore, I have the honor to lay before your Excel lency the following facts, with regard to matters which seem to fall within the cahteuiplatiua of said joint resolution: 1. The late Auditor of btate, John D. Evans, Esq., deposited on his private ac count a laige amount of the sinking fund, with certain bauks and bankers of the State, receiving a largj amo mt of inter est ioi- such dno it v.hi-h ho ,ir.crt..-i I Iff his own use, as I believe against Liwf and the nubi e ntcrt IIi imm,rli.ito i and the public interest. Ills immediate predecessor, Mr. McCarty, did the bauie thino thou.rli to a It am rvtpnt . J O -- jfa xe I kst ivarionat jiank at Indian apolis has had ihe use in its business ot large sums of said sinking lund, knowing the trust character of ihe same, and has realized large in. ere at thereoii- alter pay ing liberal interest to the officers afore said for their own use and profit in addi- 1 fX t i...i,i.iii,mt uvutc ut A, ix ,1, v. O. Ilariict-n, of Iiidianapolis, has also uted, by the agency and consent of the Audi tors aforesaid, large sums of said trust fund, realizing large profits thereupon, wiin me snowieaee mat it was trust money, belongiug to the puLlic schools of the State. 4John"V Btirson, of Muncie, Ind., wltlf"riie consent of the officers aforesaid, has also used large sums of these trust funds, paying interest on the sums deposi ted with his banking estab ishment, which interest-said officers converted to their private use in addition to the salaries paid by. law for their compensation 5; in. my judgment, each cf these per sons and corporations are, under the law", responsible to the State to the amount of the income of the funds by them severally received. This income is, by statute, made part of tbe principal of the fund, which is by the act of the last General Assembly. directed to lie distributed among the sev eral counties. (Sec. 8, of act of March 8, 1871.) 6. State printers, previously, and now, in office, viz : Wm. R. Llolloway, Samuel M. Douglass, A. LI. Conner, and Richard J. .bright, are charged publicly and-ori vately, in the newspapers arK Dy private words with having improperly and illerfall v drawn from the Treasury, and that they yet hold money belonging to the State. 7.

(- ; - j 8, The present Auditor and Treasurer may come under similar charges, but I have at present no means of ascertaining how far the trust funds are used, if at all, for thtir private gain. If they are loaned out or deposited as heretofore, and the in terest applied to private uses of the Audi tor or Treasurer, I respectfully pray your Excellency's advice and" consent, that suit be insfilued tosecrrrenbat !to the use of the 5tate. v. I here may be other cases where the public money Las been withheld, or di verted from its legitimate channels, the knowledge of which can only be unlolded as those judicial examinations progress. in aucn cases, as well as those enumera ted, I ask your consent, that such proceed ings at law may be instituted, as will se cure the St te and her Treasury from w rong and iniuslice. I can no longer, as the Attornev Gener. al of the fctate, delay an investigation of mese alleged frauds upon the Treasury. i ne air u thick nh rumors of plunder, ana they should be irtvestietted. both in Justice to the State, Government and the parlies implicated. I bhall cordially accept anv terms votir Ej tellency may suggest, calculated to re cover back any moneys abstracted from the State Treasury, and especially that pution designed for Ihe promotion of ed ucation throughout the Commonwealth.

Investigating Coasanlttao.. ' " ;'!' ;NoTl. :;; ' ; ; The testimony taken ; by the Select Committee of Congress, appointed at the last session to investigate info alleged Ku-Klux outrages in the Southern States, at least enables us to get a comprehensive View ofnhc operations of that mysterious organization known as theKu-Klox Elan an organization that has been pooh poohed by Northern Democratic politi cians as a mere figment of the imagina tion, but which, nnder the light of the searching investigation conducted by the committee, has diaclosed itself as one ol the most monstrous growth to which civ ilizated society ever cave birth. Indeed it may almost be said to stand wi hout a parallel in history a huge, misshapen rep tile spawned from the foul decay of slavery and rebellion. It is proposed in this and the following papers to present such a brief ' abstract, as space will nennit. oi some of ihe testimony, which amounts in all to several thousand pages, thus per mitting tbe reader to fo;m his own opin ion from facts, of which no more general statement, however strontr. o uld convey anything like an adequaie conception. These official documents, comp i 1 n; the sworn statement of men of the high est character and social station, and of j'll shades of political opinion, could not fail to convince the most skeptical reader that the Ku-Klux organization, is. . indeed, no myth, but one of the most horrible reali tie in tho hutorv of the human passion and ciime. It is only possible to irive the briefest abst ract of the testimony. 4)ut this will be amply sufficient to show the ut terly diabolical character of th order and the disloyal animus of its acts. We shall withhold, in some instances, the names of the w itnesses, for reasons which the read er can readily appreciate in thelight which the testimony throws upon the fearful hazard incurred by those persons who, in the Ku-Klux infested districts, make them selves obnoxious to these midnight prowl ers. We bedn with the State of MISSISSIPPI. Among the most inte.restinrr and ex plicit of the testimony taken was that of Colonel A. P. Huggins, of Aberdeen, Monroe county, United States Assessor of Internal Revenue at that point, and County Superintendent of Schools under the State government. In ihe latter of fice, to w hich he was appointed in 1S70, he was President of the County Board of School Directors, whose duty it was to submit to the Board of Supervisors an estimate of the amount of taxes needed for school purposes, the latter board be ing charged w ith the duty of making the assessment. The estimate submitted by the Board of Directors was less by nearly onc-thiid than the runnunt of tax allowed by law, but the Ku-Klux of the county notified the Board of Supervisors not to make t he assessment, and it was not done. The law of the State was thus successfully set at defiance, and the teachers of the county were unable to get (heir pay for services rendered. In this county (Mon roe) the Ku-Klux reigned supreme for many months, large bands of them, decked them in their frightful regalia, riding through the country by night, and whipping, murdering, and burning at will. Here are some of the special casjs testi- lied to by Col. IIuggin3. I In August, 18.0, one Sauuders Flint colored) and two 8'rs. having 'had a quarrel villi three white men, had been committed io jail to await their trial for . . assault antl battery. One night during the month mention jd the jail was broken - pen and luey were taken out by a " T rz I ot hrty disguised men (Ku-Klux. i The father by" some means escaped, but both the sons were killed. Three men were . I ar ested as' members "of this gang, but iu January last their cases were dismissed. unci they were set t.t liberty. This proof that there was no danjer from the courts was the signal for a general outbreak of Ku-Klux violence, and outra-xes succeed- ed-eac i other with frightful rapidity. rebruary 1st. Alfred Whitetield (col ored) was whipped till he promised to vote the Democra ic ticket. Witness saw Lis back, which was "badly pouuded U." - - February 3d. An old colored man. name forgotten, was beaten till he made the same promise. February 10th Jack Dunree. iWliirrn president of a Republican club, and living near Kpbs Xill, .was dmgged from his bed by a" gang of Ku-Klux, taken five miles into the woods, and beaten till he near dead. The fiends in human form then cut him ope i "from throat to strad dle" and took out his heart and intestines. ; This was attested by Joseph Davi4, a member of the gang, who turned State's evidence at Oxford, and w ho was present on the occasion in question. Duprce was charged with no crime; but it is said he "was a noisy Republican and would speak his mind." The penalty on freedom of speech in this part of Mississippi seems to be heavier than that on murder. March 8th.-e-Witness was lodging at the house of one Geo. R. Ross. He was taken out by a gang of 120 masked and mounted men in white robes, and, on re fusing to promise; that ui would leave the State, was beaten till he fainted, receiving seventy-five lashe9 with a stirrup strap.

Mr. Eiston Ebart, teachin-r the Union School at Aberdeen, was visited by Ku- Klux about this time and ordered to "get out of there." He was told that he micht teach a pay sr-hool, but .should not be paid out of the public funds. He was a South ern gentleman, and the only objection to him was his connection with tlm fr-ou school system. Twenty-six schools were interrupted about this time, and three school-houses were burned. Two of the latter were those of white free schools. Rev. Mr. Galloway, a Consrreirtitional minister, in Lowndes county, was waited upon some time in June and told that he must stop his preaching.

Eating "Without Appetite. It is wrong to eat without appetite, for it show s that there is no gastric juice in the stomach, nnd that nature does not need food, and there not being any food to re ceive and act uon it, it would remain there only to putrefy,' the very thought of which shoulo be sufficient to deter any man from ea'hing without an appetite, for the remaiider of his life. If a tonic is taken to whet the appetite, it is a mistak en course : fiir its only result is to cause na to eat mere, when already an amount has been eatsn beyond what the irasttic juice supplied is able to prepare. ' The ofr ject to be obtained is-a .'arger'supplyf of gastric juice, not a larger supply ot food ; and whatevei fails to accomplitJi that es sential object, fails to have an fefficiehcy toward the cure of dyspeptic diseases; and as the foimatioii of gastric juice is di rectly proportioned to the w-ear and waste of the- system, ; which it ij to - be the mrans of supplying, and this-wear and waste can only take place as the result of exercise, the point is reached again that T ' the efficient remedy fordyspeptaa is' worki in direct proportion as it is agreeable, in proportion i It is agreeable, interesting and prefitabl.

Nothing is more, latal than to bottle it up. If a boy wants to be a sailor or a stage-driver, it is the vagabond in him moving to get out. You may shut the vagabond in, cork him up like the Old Man of the Sea, put King Solomon's seal upon him, and write King Solomon's proverbs all over him, but thai vagabond will come out some day. That is, unless you succeed in smothering him entirely, in w hich case your boy is of no more account than stale ginger-pop. When Henry Ward Heecher wanted to go to sea, the patriarch of the Beechers, with Beecher shrewdness, coaxed the fel low to go to AmhtTat to learn enough mathematics to become a midshipman. and by sending him to a colle-'e where there was a revival, swindled him into piety and preaching. But the sailor is in his bones yet; he treads the pulpit as if u were a quarier-UuoK ; tie preaches under a great strength of canvas, ind even with whitening hairs every now and then shakes out the top gallant sail of some bold ut terance, lie has been hunting and limb ing, and lecturing and editing; he has dabbled in all these vigabond pursuits, in order to get that sailor out of Lim; but the irresponsible sailor Beecher is entirely too much forthe preacher Beecher. Now if Dr. Lyman had undertaken to break the vagabond spirit, if he had sent him to a farm as a penal colony, if he had tried to beat it out of him, we n.ij.lit have had a Dr. Dryasdust in Plymouth puli.-it But if he had tried one voyage, it might have saved hnn much trouble on doctrinal points since. agabondism is, next to conscience, the most valuable element in the human com position, if it is rightly managed. But there's the rub! To manage it. To give the boy, or to give yourself, just rope enough, so that the animal sniHts will ho satisfied with their play, and yet to be able in the end to rein the vagabond in to steady work, is the great problem. For if a man or a horse is allowed to ran too much, it is as destructive to his tractabili- y as to be allowed to run too little. It is an old observation that if a man once becomes a trapper, a sailor, a regular sol dier, a stage-driver, or a Bohemeun, it is hard tor him to quit either. There is the dash of vagabondage in all these employ ments that fascinates him; but a man may venture on the concues of these enchant ed hinds w ithout danger if he does not allow Jii.s higher purposes to be dissipa ted. When the vagabond does not ob literate moral distinctions, be can be con trolled. Several young men, students in a lead ing-Western university, came to New York to enjoy their vacation a few year ago. They w ere sons of rich men. Thev did not want to go to the St. Nicholas or ihe St. Astor to use finger glasses and napkins, and live over again the conven tional life they endured at home. The ungratified vagabonds in them, the vaga bonds that had ached to ring the col)ee bells at night, that had wanted to plnr countless tricks on country men ihese pent-up vagabonds under good clothes must get out. They did not go to the prairie, but to the greater w ilderncss if New York, for their sport. They did not keek the poor gratification of a debauch,, knowing that such vagabondage costs more thin it comes to. But they were guilty of a singular breach of the public peace. They hired a hand organ and monkey, and from one end of Manhattan to the other they ground out dolorou music, show ed their sorry monkey iu a red jacket, sang discordantly, gaiuered their pennies, baw the city, had thei. laugh, collected enough to pay expenses, had some money over, and went back to Ovid, and Homer, and Euclid, content. Vagabondage has literature. Books ot travel, stories of adventure what aieall these but books w rilten to enable stay-at home vagabonds to enjoy the wild lite they dare not seek:' ; A bud sort of vaga bondage is the intellectual type, w here u man runs a tiit against everything rever ed, and expends the animal lite which should have found veat in shooting griz zleys, in attacking the foundations of all settled oeiitf. Many a man dresses well, behaves in a polibhjd way, aud outwardly conforms to conventional life, w ho is none the less a roving, lawless vagabond in hi. intellectual life. And the worst sort ot all is that in which ihe fresh animal life has putrefied, and the man w ho is fair to look upon is a vagabond in morals. The clo.vn in the play said that genius was the worst horse in the stable. And it is just beta ise what we commonly call genius is a combination of the highest iu tellcctual gifts with that flow of animal spirits which gives tire and force and sparkle to intellectual action. Great wit needs' as much more to take care of it, says an old proverb, and the difference be tween the vagabond element subject and the vagabond element dominant is often the difference between the highest success and Ihe saddest sin. wreck. How Scgaii is Made Wuite. The way in which sugar is made "perfectly white was found in a curious way. A hen that had gone through a clay mud puddle, went with her niuddy feet into a sugar house. . It was observed by some one , -that wherever the tracks were, tue sugar .w as . w hitened. Tnis led to some exiteiimcnts. - The Jesuit w as, clay came to b used in refining sugar".' It is in this way; The btignr is put in, earthen jars, shaped as you see the sugar is. ,The large eads are upward. . . The jar, is filled with sugar, the clay put over tbe top and kept wet. Tbe moisture goes through the su gar, and drops from the hole in the small end of the jar.., This makes the 'sugar perfectlj white.

Unhappy Marriages- There is nothing more melancholy. But what shall we do about it?" 7rlust people unhappily married live on in reme diless misery? Must a man be forever chained to a Xantioper Must. a woman always endure a man who is a petty ty rant? These are question's which wnic social reformers are asking vehemently just now. Let us loose these bouds and let these chiuned people go. What right has the law, civil or nnral, to bind peo ple in a living death? Let people live together who love, and let people who do not love go free. .. . ; Thissurely seems a very simple remedy very easily applied. But is it a remedy after all ? Will either of these unhappily married people be any happier if they are separated?. You have a husband or wife who makes you exceedingly unhappy. Will a divorce relieve you? You carry till the memory of the unhappincss, the sense of rPsap;intmcnt, the fatal and ter rible blight with you. Will not a separa lion aggravate your misery? And if one of the two might be made happier by a divorce, there would be no aggregate in crease of happiness. If you have made a mistake in marriage, it is your mistake. If you are not happy, your companion surely is not. And you have no right now to blight and blast the life of another unfortunate by a separation, making mat ters tenfold worse than they are. People w ho are unhappily married are not likely to remarry happily. If there are tern pcrs 1 hat have spoiled thefir.it mar riage, there U no piospect of abetter fate in a second marriage. To these evil tem pers there is added the shamefaced recol lection of a marriage bond to tine who is yet living, and the humiliation and dis honor of a divorce. For the maiiiage is in its very nature indissoluble. There can not be a re-maniage while a former husbanJ or w ife lives, w ithout a hope less dclilemert of the soul's purity, a blunting and blurring of the very sense of purity itself. If there arc children, the case is worse. He who is a father indeed, would endure any unhappiness rather than subj.cthis children to the mortification aud demor alization of a divided filial affection and conflicting allegiance to fat her a.td mother. In such a case, divorce and re-marriage is confusion, destruction, death. We know that it seems hard for those who bit down in loving homes to advise those w ho sit in the shadow of this death to enduic it. But there is no other war than to endure it. We are not speaking of those cases of brutality or fiendUhness in which separation becomes nccessaty. But of those continual droppings and perpetual "rainy days" of bickering and dissension, of those sudden and fierce storms that sweep through some unhappy households. No separation on account of incompatibility of temper can do any good. " Part of the unhappiucfs in any family may be cured by any husband or wife. A bad temper is as much a misfortune as a ain. It is born with some people, and they are no more responsible for its pos session than for a splay-foot or a squint eye. We do not say that it may not be controlled. But we do say that your hus band or wife is only partly to be blamed for an ill-temper or a selfish disposition. What is not matter for censure is matter for pity. If you can come to treat the un fortunate member of the house as unfor tunate, you will get your reward, at least in your own peace of mind. Make up your mind to cure all you can of the un happiness iu your household, and patient ly to endure the rest. Every one has some burden to bear. Yours may be heavy. But th re are others also who bear heavy burdens. The worst terma gant we ever knew had also generous qualities. And she married a husband who knew how to bear, to be patient, to conquer by patience. That she will ever be otherwise than troublesome we doubt, ilut she is utterly devoted to her husband, .-die icgards his conquest of lur as little less than miraculous. We have seen him under vexations, but one word in any way censuring his wife we have never heard escape his lips, and we do not believe she Ins ever heard such a word. He h u his rewardiu a measure of happiness where a less patient man would have had only un mitigated misery.- Chinese Feeding the Dead. " Join Chinaman has some very peculiar ideas regarding the state of his deceased countrymen. Sunday the Western House bus and un expie&s wagon took a load of the benighted heathen out to the ceme tery to peifoim the (to them) sad and sol emn rites of feeding the dead. Arrived at the graves of their countrymen, the pro vieions and other things belonging to the ceremonies were' placed beside the altar, a rude, hollow brick "structure, raised about two feet and covered over, all except a small hole in the top. This altar has draught holes in the ends and bides, and is used to burn up the ceremonial papers when the rites have been iccoropiished. The provisions consisted of a. middle sized porker, roasted whole, fruit, Chinese liquor, and some kind of eatables. The pig was placed bcside lhe altar on.a large wooden tray, and some clean straw spread at the foot of the tray. Some liquor, probably Chinese brandy, was sprinkled on'the straw. A Chinaman then came forward, and raising and falling hiscla.sped hands three times close to the pig's hind feet, then he took a little cup filled with the liquor, and spilled a portion of it on the straw. Then another and another went through the ceremony until all Jiad participated therein.' Joss sticks and ci gaieties were distributed a, the grave, tbe papers burned on the .altar, the - provis ions put in the wagons and the party re-J turned1 Formerly the Chinese left, the provisions at tbe graves, but the Indians, who believed that a live Indian has more peed of .fed than a dead Chinaman, used to watui for "tbe day of ceremony, and devour the spoils. It ' is - supposed that several -Chinamen, in "onsequenceVbT this loss of food, were unable to reach the celestial ; haven.i'-No-Wi the Chinese leave the food long enough for the spirits to get a square meal, and then bring it away ltb.

The display of caltlo waa good," not large, but fair in quality. Jos. Wester velt had a milch cow on exhibition, which for symmetry of form and geritle appear ance, would attract notice and coiflfliafld a premium w here stock raising is a spe cialty. Mr. Sherman's Berkshire pigs were about as fine specimens of porkers as wc have ever seen. " I heard at least one enthusiastic farmer " say that better pigs w ere never raised Some fine sheep were on exhibition;, but" the display might have been much better. Many of ' the fanners, w ho are' rdied upon to make fairs interesting, were afraid that it 'would not be much of a bhow, and the officers would run the Society in debt, as the town chaps had done when they under took to conduct the fairs on former occa sions; and I heard several of them say, "I had some fine stock at home that I wish I had entered for a premiom, not merely for the sake of the money and rep utation it would bring me, but for: the gratification of those who aie , fond of seeing good, tne . looking stock and for the encouragement of stock rais ing in Marshall county." I did not see a chicken, nor a turkey, nor a goose, nor any of the feathered tribe but I was told there were some very respectable hens and thcire&;r.i on exhibition. - I was yery much pleased with the ad dresses, especially thut part of Mr. Reeve's speech in w.:ich he tail: " It is of lit ilc use lr mc to stand hero and talk. 1 am not ti:e nmn to make vour fairs successful. 1 am a lawyer. A5! the doctors, lawyers, prear-hers and merchants cannot make a fair. We are drones. We consume. We add nothing to the wraith of the country. It is the men w ho pro duce, the hard-handed laborers, the far mer, the mechanic, artizan. designer, in ventor and manufacturer, who make lairs ; ihe man who plants a valuable seed aud rears some-hing, not the man w ho hide-i it; the man whose dinning bunds fashion from wood and metal a useful article. itha pencil I can draw on paper a nice uiortk: and tenon; but give me a square and scratch, the auger, chisel and mallet, and 1 cannot make it on timber. But down here is a boy poor; can't read or write an apprentice. He ctti 't draw it on paper, but he. c.ia fa-,liion it on tlm stick, and it goes into a house and be comes property. 1 walk on a good car pet, sit on a good chair, sleep iu a good bed, hit down to a good table, but I pro duce none of thorn. The chemist and in ventor, the mechanic and manufacturer, the stock grower and farmer, and the la borer rn-.l designer, these are the men w ha must make your fair u success. ' I'mav help to offer them ind; tcemcnts, but such men as I :;;ay lalk ever ho much, and af ter all you tinners. ancLjntfciianics must take hoidand produce and bi ing your pro ductions here or there will b3 nofair." How could words te placed together in so short a string as the first and second sentences quoted, so as to contain more truth ? The rest of the speech was good, but was less concentrated and more poet ic. Mr. Reeve could draw on paper a nice post and post-hole; but if he had the sharpest of broad-axes, and one of Ames' best shove's, he could not hew out a post nor dig a bole to set it in. That farmer w ho would feel very awkward and much out of placo on the rostrum making a stump speech, could make a first rate fence, if he only had the assisiance'of a sharp lawyer to make a draft of it, and show him how it do the work. -The farmers are absolutely necessary to make a fair interesting; but then they must have scientific officers, who know how to get the thing up, to tell them what to do, and how to do it. Those fellows who do not own good carpets, chairs, beds. &c. are just the kind of material out of which to make a good tair, but they are not -worth a cent for oflicers. This: is all .perfectly plain to a man who turns the subject over and looks at it carefully .and pliilosrphi cally. Mr. Reeve undsrstands thin; per fectly, aud he succeeded in- earning out hLi theory admirably in the eSectionjof of Lccrs for the ensuing year, i I shall ex pect great things of the new efficeri, not withstanding ihe fact that rial in earnest farmers are not very largely, represented, I had ' hoped that some -. little, respect would have been shown to snch men as W.

Jacoby, for their, very com mendable "efforts. in' getting-np the. most successful fair -cver -hJd. in Marshall county;" but then .. they, know nothing about managing such Hangs for the ben efit of acourt-housering.
