Stobv of an Acorn.—The rent].
er will find on the first page an interest
ing story of an oak tree now growing in
St. Petersburg from an acorn, planted by
one of the Czars of Russia, taken from a
tree overshadowing the tomb ol Wash
ington. It is also stated that some of
the leaves and twigs of the tree are de
posited in the Rooms'of the Boston His
torical Society.
A leat from the same tree is now in the
possession of onr esteemed townsman,
Maj. A. L. Dearino. It was sent him by
Gov. Pickens, of South Carolina, when lie
was United States Minister to Rnssia,
some years ago, accompanied by a note,
giving substantially the same history of
the tree, and remarking upon tlie singtt

The Crowing Hens.—We have

Stanton, Isabella Beecher Hooker, Eltza^
beth L. Bladen, Olympia Brown, Bonn
B. Anthony, arid Josephine L. Griffin, to
the Congress of the United States, and
•lie arguments thereon before the judicia
ry committee of the United States Senate,”
with this modest statement and request 1
“ The Senate of the United States hav
ing refused a hearing to the Memorialists
in person, they being members of a dis
franchised class, and therefore without
representation in that body, and the Ju
diciary Committee having'declined cVen
to print their arguments side by side with
their adverse report, the Memoralfsts do
earnstly invite the press of the countrv to
print these arguments in full, that the
people may decide for themselves wheth
er women are, or are not, entitled to vote
to-day tinder the National Constitution.”
As the document makes thirty solid
octavo pages, and we have no particular
spile at any of onr readers, we respectful
ly decline to print it. We sltail preserve
it, however, and use it on the nest Ku-
hlux raid we make. If we have

ements. j j,as been exercised to prevent its pre
mature publication. Notwithstanding
this, it is known that the majority as
sert, by authority of witnesses, that the
Ku-Klux originated in 18(58, and that
it was organized for political purposes.
They do not deny that there is much
bad government in the South, but at
tribute this, in some respects, to tiie fail
ure of prominent white citizens to take
any part in polities. They think that
there should be a removal of political
disabilities, but excluding from the
benefits of the same all distinguished
criminals who have taken part in op
position to the government, and also
those who have occupied office contrary
to the constitutional disabilities.
Veidict j The minority, it is said, expose what
they term the scalawag, carpet-bag and
negro governments of the South, and
show the large increase of debt which
they, like harpies, imposed upon the
people. They deny that the Ku-Klux
was organized for political purposes,
j but as a means of protection against
armed negro thieves and other classes
of offenders. In no one of the six
States—North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Miss
issippi—are the Ku-Klux in one-tenth
part of either State. No people on
earth were more patient under their
wrongs.
The minority also comment severely
upon the President’s suspension of the
writ of habeas corpus in South Caro
lina.
Narrow Gunge Railroads.
A portion of tho Denver and Rio
| Grande Railroad, from Denver City
: to Colorado Springs, a distance of sev-
j enty-tive miles, is now open. The
track lied of this railroad is 6 feet wide,
and the distance beteen the rails 3 feet,
the ties 6 to feet, and the rails weigh
30 pounds to the yard. The engines
weigh 12 to 10 tuns ; the passenger t
cars, with 8 wheels and carrying 32
passengers, weigh 0 t*ns, and the
freight ears, with 4 wheels, weigh 2
tuns, and carry 4 to 5 tuns of freight.
The passenger cars are arranged so
that two passengers sit on one side of
the passage way, and one on the other.
Each ear is divided in the middle by
a door, and the scats for two and cue,
respectively, are reversed in the two
sections, so as to balance the car.—
Tiie cars now used are 7 feet wide,
and 105. feet high from rail to top, but
they were found to be too small for the
comfort of passengers, aud larger ones
are being built. The cost of construct
ing the seventy-five miles of road
now oi>en, with equipment, has been
§13,000 a mile, while the Kansas Pa
cific road, built under the same engi
neers, and much of it by the same con
tractors, cost §22,000.
There are curvatures on this line of
30 degrees in 100 feet, as against 10
degrees in the j-ante distance, which is
the highest curvature of such roads as
the Pennsylvania Central and Balti
more and Ohio. The advantages claim
ed for the narrow gauge system rest
upon the principle that, width sufficient
u idtlt of track to give capacity of car
riage, all further increase of with in
creases the weight of engines and cars
in greater proportion than it increases
capacity ; or, that the dead weight of
a train increases with the width of the
track. The exjterience of the London
and Northwestern Railroad iu Eng
land is that, leaving out its coal busi
ness, its freight traffic uses seven tuns
of dead weight to carry one tun of live;
and that for its passenger business it
has used from 10 to 30 tuns of carriage
for every tun of passengers, or furnish
ed accommodation for 13,500 passeng
ers iu order to carry 4,400.

necessary arrangements may be made
with the railroad companies. Our editor
informed us confidentially just before he
Iclt, that us a general thing he wnspiat-
cdly agin all such waste of time and the
demoralizing influences attendant upon
these excursions. He says there are tome
editors in Georgia who could be aroused
from the protouud slumber of death itself,
if you but whisper in their ears tiie magic
words “ etcurtion—dead head ticket*."—
But as this particular excursion embraces
the cities ot Macon, Savannah, Augusta
and Charleston, aud will greatly promote
the commercial interests of those cities,
he volet i/ea. He desires it to bo dis
tinctly understood that bis sole object is
to denelojte, und that lie would scorn any
excursion merely lor pleasure.
He will insist on paying Iris railroad
fare and hotel bills, and will make it a

Why Amnesty was Defeated.
So Long as the South stands ready
and anxious to send men of more
brains and integrity to the Senate than
tho demagogues now dominant there
possess, those demagogues may be re
lied upon to vote to keep such men out.
In this personal reason lies the whole
antipathy to amnesty. Few of the
Senators are statesmen now. Many
of them are knaves, and an equal addi
tional number are nutters. The fools
and the jobbers are the great majority.
They would he bedwarfed into insig
nificance by the advent of men who
would prove the intellectual heirs of
the men the Senate contained before
and up to the beginning of the war.—
There weregiants in those days. They
went into secession, but they never
went into sfea ing. They were vio
lent, but they were not venal. They
were hasty, hut they were not dishon
est. They believed more in their
States titan they did in their country,
but they never sold their votes to rail
road lobbyists. They never slavered
a President, nor ever became infamous
ly and rapidly rich on their ‘“nail sal
aries. They never voted a dollar for
the war, to be sure—but they never
vo‘etl a dollar ton “ ring” or into tlmir
own pockets. Their mouth was full,
too full, perhaps, of States’ rights, but
they npver had their desks running
over with railroad stocks, nor gauged
their support of a measure by the con
dition of their bank books. Small
wonder that the slightest vision of such
men, or their similitude, coming again
to the cnpitol, frights the souls of their
feeble adversaries. Jealousy of and
conscious inferiority to such men is the
retd reason why amnesty was killed,
and we conjure the country to hear the
fact in mind.—Brooklyn (N. Y.)

The Extent of England.
Hon. James Brooks, in a letter from
Calcutta, speaks as follows: England,
once more, one everlasting England !
That little sea-girt island lias not only
girdled the great isles of the world, and
put its stamp upon them, but, ltere am
I, in the portals of a great British East
India Empire, the very magnitude of
which is astounding. Think of it,
over 200,000,000 of people, native
and British in the Indian Government
proper, under the British flag! Satia
ted with tho very vastness of dominion
here, the British Crown declines more
land, and all the population it wants—
nay, more, too, and refuses, actually,
to l>e bothered with yet more! Think
of the revenues and expenditures of
this British Indian Empire, $260,000,-
000 of our money, incoming and out
going, each year. Think of its im
mense army, 320,000 in all, of whom
70,000 are European soldiers, the oth
ers, Indians, under british officers, all!
Think of a Christian Government over
110,000,000 of Hindoos, 25,000,000
of Mussulmans, 12,000,000 of Abori
ginal Nothiugarians, 3,000,000 of
Buddhists, &c., Ac.! What a medley
of humanity to rule! What a mix
ture of laws, as well as of creeds, and
of tongues, aud languages! (There
are sixteen, or more, languages that a
British ruler ought to learn.) What
a vast trade, some $250,000,000 of im
ports, and over $500,000,000 of ex
ports ! The little England at home,
which governs all this vast territory,
and these millions of people, dwindles,
