Oar frien-’s were surprised that the Hee-

Gross' discourse on Wednesday night. The
following note from onr phonographic repor
ter. Mr. Grigsby, will ev] lain what might
have appeared to be a lack of enterpiise on
our part. If enterprise consists in deliber
ately violating a solemn agreement, then we
are quite content to be regarded as deficient:

Col. Alston:
Mr. Maddox broke faith with me in regard
to writing out notes of the Bishop's disconrse.
l am ready, if necessary, to make affidavit
that it was the understanding between ns,
clearly and definitely determined, and thrice
(at intervals) reiterated, that we would not
“touch a pencil” to the report last night. I
so reported to Mr. Grady afterwards at the
Herald otfice, as I informed yon in the Rep
resentatives’ Hall.
His report is nearly verbatim. Shall I
write out my notes ? Yours,
_ Grigsby.
Mr. Barr, cur agent at Washington, sends
us a very tiresome correspondence to-day, be
tween some South Carolina gentlemen and
the Attorney General. Too much praise can
not be given these gentlemen for the trouble
they have taken in this matter. History
searcely furnishes a parallel in ferocity or
malice, to the persecution of the alleged South
Carolina Kn-Klux. and w. are glad to see
that the President has at last announced
through his long-winded Attorney that he is
at last disposed to clemency.
Ode despatches from Spain this morning
contain stirring and startling news, which
will be read with interest by our nnmerons
.ere.
H. I. Kimball and the Northern
Banks.
It seems that the publication of Kimball’s
liabilities has created some distrust among
the stockholders of the various monied insti
tutions named in the long catalogue, and
signs of their uneasiness already begin to come
to the surface.
It was rumored in New York last Friday
that the failure of Kimball wonld affect the
Brooklyn Savings Bank, and the Fulton
Bank. The President of the Fulton Bank
said that his institution had never loaned
Kimball a dollar, but bad loaned the State of
Georgia $35,000 on bonds to pay the Legisla
ture. These bonds were issued under Bul
lock’s administration, but are held to be valid
by the present authorities, and will be paid.
The Bollock railroad bonds ore considered
fraudulent, and the State has declared that it
will never redeem them. Governor Smith, of
Georgia, had stated recently that a general
State bond would be issued to cover the valid
indebtedness, and the bonds held by the Ful
ton Bank wonld be received in exchange.
The teller of the Brooklyn Savings Bank
which was reported to hold $100,000 of the
Bullock-Kimball fraudulent paper, asserted
that the bank had never held a Georgia Slate
bODd, and never loaned a dollar to Kimball.
The Tribune says:
Considerable indignation exists among those
persons who have been published as creditors
tor heavy amounts of the defaulting Georgia
swindler, H. I. Kimball, whose failures oc
curred two years ago. Application to several
of those mentioned elicited iho information
that they were either not interested or their
interest was for lesser amounts. A member
of > leading banking house, who are said to
have been creditors for a large sum, stated
that he supposed the figures very exaggerated
in many cases. With respect to his own
nonse, the transaction was one of some years
pnat, and had been liquidated bv the sale of
•ecurities left as collateral against the loan,
The Times, always the apologist and de
fender of Henry Clews, says:
In the statement which appeared in our
news columns yesterday, giving a list of H.
I. Kimball A Co.'s creditors, the amount of
indebtedness to Henry Clews A Co. shonld
have been stated at $100,000. not a million,
as an absurd misprint made it appear.
Against this $100,000 the firm of Clews &
Co. holds ample security. It was also a
foolish mis-statement to attribute Mr. Kim
ball s failure to that firm, since there was no
agreement on their part in any way obliging
them to provide Mr. Kimball with money to
carry on his transactions. Mr. Kimball’s
failure took place some two years ago, and
the house of Clews A Co. is no way respon
sible for it, and will not be losers by itr-

as follows; Plates of mica ore first rendered
perfectly dean and white, either by boiling in
muriatic acid or by subjecting them to the

thus coated have a silvery appearance, and

being at all affected by sulphurous vapors.

Correspondence Between Attorney-General
and Kershaw’s Committee—The Gov
ernment Committed to a Milder
Course.
Washington, July 31, 1873.
To Hon. Geo. H. Williams, Attorney-General:
Sib—After our correspondence with you, we pro
ceeded to Long Branch, and were prompt y accorded
an interview with President Grant, which waa in all
respects cordial and satisfactory. The President ex
pressed views of clemency similar to those previous
ly expressed by you, and said he would address
you a note defining the present policy oi the govern
ment in relation to the prosecutions and prisoners
under the enforcement act. We beg to renew the sug
gestion already made that the purposes of the gov
ernment in the premises be made public, so all con
cerned, p rticularly refugees, may have authentic in
formation from the proper official source by which
they may be able to govern themselves. Such official
announcement will, in our opinion, produce a great
sense of relief.
We are, with great respect.
Your obedient servants,

Mwtwrvrwr ar Jitaftr*.
Washington, July 31, 1873.
Messrs. Porter, Kershaw and Sims, Washington:
Gents—Your letter of yesterday, intended to elicit
from mo a public expression oi the policy of the Gov
ernment in relation to the prosecutions and prisoners
under the enforcement acts, is received, and I have to
cay in answer, as indicated in his conversa
tion with- you, the President has communicated to
me what I have heretofore understood to be his
wish that the persons accused and convicted of of
fenses under said acts should be treated with as much
lenity as possible, without prejudice to the ends for
which tney were passed. It must, however, be dis
tinctly understood that this action by the Government
is not prompted by any doubt as to the necessity or
validity of said acts, or of the necessity and justice of
the convictions already had under these Enforce
ment Acts, to punish and prevent high crimes
but by the belief that the Ku-klux Klans have
through said convictions been almost if not altogether
broken up, and that those who were concerned in or
sympathized with them have come to see the folly,
wickedness and danger of all such secret or
ganizations. You have been pleased to say to
me and similar assurances have been given by others
seeking the same object, that Executive clemency at
this time in the Ku-Klux cases wonld tend to remove
many causes of nneasiness and irritation now exist
ing, and conduce generally to the public peace and
tranquility,'and the proposed action is taken in refer
ence to such cases with the full expectation that
these assurances will be verified. You are in
formed that tbs prosecutions now pending
n the courts for the violatlojs of the Enforcement
acts, which will be suspended or discontinued, and
instructions to that effect have already been given to
several District Attorneys, but there may be excep
tional cases of great aggravations, where the Govern
ment will insist on conviction and punishment. There
are, however, but few of such cases now within my
knowledge where persons have absented themselves
on account of their complicity, or supposed com
plicity, in the Ku-Klax offense*, are at liberty to re
turn, and unless their crimes bring them within the
above named exceptional cases, these will not be pros
ecuted. Many of those sentenced to imprisonment
for such offenses, have been already par
doned, and the cases of the others are
under consideration, and will propatly be
disposed of in a like manner, keeping in view the
proper relation, but ween their innishment and the
nature of their guilt. To avoid a-y misconstruction
of these proceedings, it is, perhaps, necessary for me
to say that all conspiracies and outrages in violation
of said acts hereafter committed will be prosecuted
with all possible energy and vigor, and it is to be un
derstood that the government does not intend to
abandon such acts, but induce, if possi
ble, a willing obedience to their reasonable! re
quirements, substantially they arc intended to protect
citizens of the UDitcd States in the possession and en
joyment of their political and civil rights guaranteed
to them by the late amendments to the Constitution,
and the President, whose duty it is to sec that the laws
are faithfully executed, would l*e recreant to that duty
if he did not so administer the Government as
to afford to all citizsns the equal protection of its
laws. I have added these suggestions to the inior*
mat ion for which 3 ou ask, with a sincere hope that
by the exercise of a mutual recognition of each
other’s rights by all classes of people, no farther ne
cessity will arise for tbeir protection and enforce
ment under faid acts, through the action of the gene
ral Government.
Very respectfully,
G. H. Williams,
Attorney-General.
Prosecution# to be Stopped—A Glimpne of
Mercy at Last.
Washington, July 31, 1873.
Attorney General Williams, replying to a committee
1 behalf of the Kn-Klux prisoners, says: “You
informed that the prosecutions now pending in the
courts, for the violation of the Enforcement Acte, will
be suspended or discontinued, and instructions to
that effect have already been given to several District
Attorneys. But there may be aggravated cases wbare
the Government will insist upon convicttou and pun
isbment.”

A Great Time in Danbury.
[THE REASON WHY MR. o’CLABENCE DID NOT
APAEAR IN THE FIREMEN’s
P COCESSION.
From the Danbury News.
The firemen had a parade on Saturday. It
was a fine affair, but the absence of Mr.
O’Clarence was deeply felt, not only by the
department, but by the public. His long
and faithful service at the business meetings
and festivals, aud his splendid bearing on pa
rade, have given Mr. O’Olarencc an enviable
position in the hearts of his countrymen. We
are sorry he was not present on Saturday.
But an unlooked for and very painful acci
dent deprived him and us of that pleasure.
The night which preceded the last anniver
sary of our national independence, be took
home twenty-five dollars’ worth ot fireworks
for a splurge on the next night. He calcu
lated he had glory enough in that package to
fill with gratitude and admiration every tax
payer on North street, and his wife, after
carefully examining the lot, was equally cou-
fident that the neighbors would see something
that would “make their eyes bung out,” as
she pensively expressed it.
The next morning O’Clarence got out the
bundle to look it over again, and feed on the
anticipation. There were those cannon
crackers—several packs—and roman candles,
and blue-fire, and pinwheels, and rockets and
the like—a very creditable assortment for any
family. Mr. Wickford’s boy from tho next
house was in, and sat on the floor holding a
piece of lighted punk in his hand, and had
both his eyes and mouth wide open enjoying
the sight. O Clarence was sitting on ’ his
haunches, holding a pinwheel in his hand,
aud explaining to Mrs. O’Clarence how cheap
ly they could be made in China, and how su
perior in ingenuity and industry were the
Chinese to all other races. None of them
knew how it happened, but O’Clarence re
members that there were two open packs of
cannon crackers just under him, and thinks
Wickford’s boy must have in some way drop
ped the punk in among them, and in the gen
eral interest forgot that it was afire.
■At any rate, there was a sudden hiss, right
under Mr. O’Clarence, followed in the next
instant by a tornado of sounds and sparks,
and that gentleman at once shot toward the
ceiling in a blaze of various colored lights,
while the air became thick with sparks, blue
lights, blazing balls, industrious pinwheels,
insane skyrockets, and screeching crackers.
Mrs. O’Clarence fell over a chair that cost
eight dollars when new, and struck the back
of her head against the stove hearth with a
violence that added materially to the display
of fireworks already going on. Wickford’s
boy was struck in the mouth with a skyrocket
and had two-thirds of his hair taken off by a
roman candle, and was knocked through a
doorway by a piece of ordnance just intro
duced this season, and which will undoubted
ly become popular when understood belter.
He was afterward fished out of a rosebush
and taken home in a tablecloth.
O’Clarence remained during tho entire ex
hibition, looking at it from various positions,
and when it was over with he was put in a
sheet by the neighbors, and saturated with
oil, and then covered with molasses and
flour. We learn that new skin is already
forming on parts of him, and if no unfavora
ble symptoms set in he will be out in a fort
night, although it is not likely he will mingle
much in society until his hair aud eyebrows
commence to grow. lie thinks Wickford’s
boy i3 dead, and they dare not tell him to tho
contrary until ho goto stronger. Singularly
enough Mrs. O'Clurence escaped injury by
burns, but tho blow on her head was so
severe that she cannot bear to havo her back
hair drawn up as high as it was before, and
missing her church privileges is a soro trial
to her.
A youthful couplo of runaways in Texas,
having obtained a license, repaired to a cler
gyman on Red river, and desired him to per
form the ceremony. He, however, declined
on nccountfof their youth, and lor fear of the
law. Not to be outdone, they stowed them
selves on a cotton-wood log, and drifted far
enough out into the stream to be considered
out of the State, while tho obliging minister
climbed on a stamp at the water’s edge, and
pronounced tho ceremony which made them
man nnd wife.
