It (he faunotu Ku-Klux Bill were not to long, we would like to eprend it in fall before our readen; bat that portion o( it under which the good citiiene ot Polk countj end others, hare been so fre quently dogged from their homes, end to suffer so much in their persons end parse, reeds es follows: "flee. X That if two or more persons within enr State or Territory of the United States, «>—» conspire together, or go in * iy« upon the public high way, or upon the premises of another, tor the purpose, either directly or indi rectly, of depriving any person, or any dees of persons, of the equal protection ol the lews, or of equal privileges or im munities under the laws: or for the pur pose of preventing or hindering the con stituted authorities of any State from giving, or semiring to ell persons, with in suoh State, the equal protection of the laws, cr shall oonspire together for the purpose of, in any manner, impeding, hindering, obstructing or defeating the due oourse of jastioe in any State or Territory, with intent to deny to any eittaen of the United States the due ana equal protection of the laws, or to injure any person in his person, or his property, for lawfully enforcing the right of any person, or olaas of per sons, to the equal protection of the laws, sash and every person so offending shall be deemed guilty of a high crime,” 4c. (Then follows the penalty prescribed upon oouvioiion, not lees than 8000 fine, or imprisonment not less than six months, or loth.) Bed ss we think this law is, we do not think any candid man eon sucoesslully maintain that it was intended to reach any lawless act, unless the act was per petrated upon the party injnrod on ac count of his political sentiments, or on amount of his race or oolor. The lan gunge is, "depriving any person of the equal protection of the laws.' 1 To give it any other construction would ooufer upon the United States Courts the power to try and punish every riot or affray that might oasar in any State, or to punish any offense done by a mob of any sort, or even to punish an assault and battery, where more than one per son was engaged on one side. But, whether * j are right or wrong in this view, prsotioally tho enforcement of the law works a terrible hardship upon our pool >. It places it in the power of any thief or vagabond, bite or black, to come to At lanta, swonr out a warrant against tho best citisens of nny county,' however distant, and cau • tho United 8tutcs Marshal with a sq ,d of soldiers to go to that oonuty end drag tboso unfortunate men from their homes to this place, and after they have been put to an onormous expense in paying guards rather then go to a loathsome jail, and in gotting up witnesses end paying oouussl fees, they are tried before tile Commissioner here- found not guilty, aud turned loose with out money, to get back to their homes as best they may. This is the history of mast of the ar rests uudor this law. Our people regard it as sq outrage upou decency, aud an iutolarsble oppression. Is there no remedy T We know of none except tho repeal of the law; but wo think its oppiessiou could be greatly lightened by the exer cise of the power which is lodged iu the hands of theDistiiot Judge ol Georgia, of appointing a United States Commis sioner for every iou ity in the State. Wo appeal to Judge Erskiuo to muke these appointments. Our people gout-ral ly recognise in Judge Erskiuo a rnuu of warm heart and generous impulses. They will never forget his kindness aud noble generosity in disoonraging prosecu tions for treason immediately after tho late war. Will he not increase this debt of grati- tudo by appointing these Commission- eis T Surely, good and true men oould be selected iu each county, and if nuy ap pointees proved recreant to their trust, they could be removed. Then there would no longer be any ne cessity for the heart-rending scenoa which have been enacted here under this law. No longer would our beet citisens be ruthlessly torn from their hearthstones at the beck and nod of the vilest of tho vile, and after being treated like thieves, turned loose, to beg their way home. How much better for them to be tried at home, where they and their persecutors arc known, and where s'! the witnesses reside. It surely cannot be the wish of the great Government of the United States to make oar people think that it cares no thing (or them, save to oppress them. The Southern Pacific. The Mobile Register of the 17th, pub- hshes the following: Snow blockades, portages and water transfers, ate beginning to wear out the paUense of Northern bade. The New York Commercial has a vsry levsLhssd •'I business matters; and here ft wri si we did on the a re day. We doubt t ie "nine mouths of the year” problem; but, save that, we fully agree with the OommwdaL It is a pretty commentary au this nu t stupendous and most oostly of monopo.y-arrsbbing jo os, that after all the vast exp. diture—and all the vaster Uowuigxbou. “the triumph of the age of •‘•““kip routes ^boeldbe fast reeovering custom, and •rode seeking her cl XmneUof peek The Qmmerc -Issya- It is unfortunate, odke tor Urn Pseifio western plains have suspended traffic. The re-transfer of shipments to the water .nit- has been going on steadily for Kovcrsi weeks past, and is still rendered noesaary by iho continued block silo of the railway lines. The winter storms, exceptionally severe this year, hi vo proved an unconquerable obstacle to the regularity of the railway service, and recall the prophecies which were freely uttered before the building of tho central routes to tho Pacific coast. It is now evident that the i xi.'.ug lines cannot bo d pended upon for pusscuger or freight traffic in tho depth of winter, although fur nine mouths in tho year they will do good service. The ultimate solution (of the problem of trans-Conti nental travel must be found in a souther ly route, which shall avoid the bleak and snow-covered plains, and secure an un encumbered transit all tho year round. Meanwhile, tho Pacifio steamships are fast recovering the custom of which the railways have long deprived them. If anything was needed to show the ne cessity for a .Southern route by rail from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the present winter has supplied it. Tho storms that have prevailed in the groat West, have proven that the Union Pacifio lioad can not be rolied upon for at least three months in tho year, and tho trudo of the world cannot afford to have one of its great arteries blocked for so long a time. Tho Southern Pacific route is a necessity, being the only route that can be relied upon "alike in summer or in winter weather.” It is possiblo that tho snow-blockade which, during the present winter has been so embarrassing to freight and pas senger transportation, will give the South- erq line an impetus which will continue until the work is completed. One More Unfortunate. At last T. P. Robb has succumbed to the inexorable logic of” rascality, and has beon removed from the office which there is every reason to believe that he has mado lucrative to himself. For a long time bis position in tho Savannah Custom House has not been a very easy one to hold. There were chargee against him of irregularities in office—whioh have not yet been explained away—and there were indictments against him in tho Fodcral Court whioh still stand upon the dockets. About the end of lastyoar tho pressure sg^pst him became so strong that hs deemed it expedient to go to Washing ton to present his case nt Court, in per son. He went and agonised there for a few weeks and was sent home rejoicing under the assurance from General Grant that ho would not bo interfered with. But he woe not to be permitted to hold office in pesos. Those Republicans in Georgia who wero opposed to the rotten and oorrnpt Ballook ring, were on the track of llobb as a corrupt member of that ring. They were determined to oust him, because he, in common with the others of the gong of plunders, was a dead weight upon their party in this State and they wore woll awuro that their organization could never approximate re spectability while sucli men ere in it.— Therefore having been relievod of Bui look, Blodgett, Conley & Co., the next move whs to bo rid of llobb also, and this move baa culminated in tho "rcsig nation" of that official. A person who is advised of the ordeal through which Robb has passed in order to hold on to his office must be disgusted at tho hypocrisy of the letter in which ho tenders his resignation. There is no doubt that he was notified thut his rcsig nated would be accepted, Secretary Boutwell had, only last Saturday, in formed tho President that Robb’s bond was entirely without security, aud thut ho could not be rctaiuod iu the Savannah Custom House. Upon tho heels of this oomea that sycophantic letter in which he, cur-likc licks the hand that lashos him. Robb is one of tho gang of cormorants who flocked to Georgia, carpet-bng iu hsnJ, immediately after the war. He oame from Illinois, and was the special protege and well-beloved disciple of Dick Vales. He came here upou Yates' ad vice, who conceived that Ueorgia would be a good place for au active young Radi oal to rise. Yates’ advice to Robb was to oorno to Georgia and start a Republican newspaper. This he did not heed, though he, at one time, had a few thou sand locked up iu tho Xeic Km of this city. He was glad enough when he got that out, and has Biuco shown no groat desire to be in the newspaper business, being, possibly, satisfied that Radical papers don’t pay in Georgia. His career in the Savannah Custom House has been brief and fearfully beset though it is believed that he made mon ty enough, whilo in, to com; .nsate him for the many wounds that his ambition has suffered. As soon as this resignation was an nounced, the publio mind turned to Col. James Atkina as the probable succesior. By the telegraphic dispatches which arc published this morning, it will be seen that ha has received the nomination. Col. Atkins has been Collector of Inter nal Revenue, for this District, einco the war. Ho is a Republican; but no one has ever said any thing against his hon esty. He is one of the Republicans who are active in their opposition to tho Bui- lock ring, and to “ the Beven gentlemen from Oeorgia." He is one of those who have declared their intention to purge the Republican party of Georgia of its reaoally leaders, or send it to the devil He will be as acceptable os Collector, as any man that oould be selected from his party. The Bo nbshell. Mr. Sunnier'* resolution, calling for in vestigation into the sale of arms to the Fr- i"'!i Government has excited the wrath in all the regions round tho throne. Cor respondents bay “it is expected to unearth some startling facts." “As soon as it was mentioned, au sr/ny officer stationed at New York, supposed to bo implicated, hurried to Washington.'' The Washington Republican, which undertakes to Hpeak for the authorities, hays tlie Government is prepared to meet aM the charges preferred by Mr. .Sumner; it denies that our Government ever sold any arms to the French Government— aud those sold to its secret agents were discontinued os soon as they were known to be its agents. The discrepancy in the statements between the Treasury and the War Departments is accounted for by the alleged fact that one was made four months before the other. Tho opposite of all these statements is made by the other side; and the letter of to* Secre tary of War seems to concede oat the Government workshops were usod in the fabrication of cartridges, which were in tended to accompany the arms known to bo purchased for the French Govern ment. The RepuUloan adds: The mili tary officers affected by the Sumner re solution a,o indignant, feeling assured that they are used to further a political attack which, itself, is inspired by other parties who have equally sinister ends to serve. This paragraph indicates the feeling provoked by Mr. Sumner, and wbichas not likely to bo allayed by further pro ceedings. Granting the Republican's explanation of the discrepancy between the War and Treasury Deportments os to the amount recoivea by our Government be correct, there is still the sum of four millions paid by the French Government unaccounted fur except by the commissions of M. Plaoe and his agents, which did not re. cli two millions. M. Place asserted on his trial that other par .es, and not he, hud swindled bis Government, and he indi rectly oharged that M. Lecesne, the President of the French Armament Com mittee, was in collusion with Remington, the agent of the French Governmen , for the purchase of arms hen. This impu tation, which M. Place could not prove, roused hostility to him in influential quarters, and probably led to his convic tion. Remington went to Washington and got a statement of the arms, etc., from the War Office, sold to the Frenoh agents, and with the accouut ap.,cared iu Paris before the court against M. Plaoe. The Frenoh Government supposing very rightly that uuoli papers might un dergo somo mutations in making a sea- voyage, directed tho Marquis De Cham- brun, the Solicitor of the French Em bassy at Washington, to request the Bee rotary of War to furnish him w.th official statements of the arms sold for the uso of the French Government. "The an- suxr to this request teas deluged litenlit dugs until after Place's trial teas over; aud when it was too late for the papers to be The Monroe Advertiser, of Tuesday, ,ys: We regret to learn that Mr. George Williams, of this county, was accidental ly killed at High Falls, on Friday last He was assisting in unloading a heavy piece of timber that had been procured to re place one of the sills of the bridge, and was caught under it as it slipped from ' 0r . 1 1,10 °i those who were assisting dwqya aad for the interests of trade, him.

General Belknap also wrote to tho Mar quis that he had sent the statement of arms, etc., to Congress, and said that lie could probably get the information he desired there.” It would be a monstrous aggravation of the proceeding, if it turns out that our functionaries, to conceal the oollusion of our Government with French agents, have had an innocont man in France con victed of an infamous offeuse and sen fenced to tho Gallcyq—Richmond Uhig: Tlie Accident on the Savannah nnd Charleston ltuilrnnd. From tho Savannah Xowa, 2«.th. Wo Ijiitc gained tho following portion* lam in regurtl to the accident on this road, mentioned iu our issue of yester day morning. The tmiu left Charleston at 8-15 a. m., aud arrived nt the Snvau- uuh river bridge at 8:30 p. m., where tho couductor wus notified by tho bridge watchnmu thut tho piling of u portiou of the bridge lmd been disturbed by tho lodgement of a cypress treo ngainst it— Tho train hud been run to within a few yards of tho bridge, aud CapH.n Clawson, in view of this infi uiation considered it imprudent to run the train over before examination. In com) any with tho engineer, he examined tho bridge, and considered it safe, but with cautiousness thut reflects credit upou him, decided upon a trial fln»t, before riskiug tho lives of those in his charge. He had the ongiiio detached, and mount ing, with the engineer proceeded to teat it. Tho locomotive had made but u few revolution when the frock and piling gave way, carrying about fifty feet of the trestlcwork and the engine and tend The conductor and fireman caught on the trcstlework, (the tender nearly striking them as it swung around) and climbed unou the remaining part of the bridge. The engineer aud wood passei sprang into tho river und were carried somo distance dowu tho stream by tho swift current and were a quarter of a mile below the sceue of accident when they were overtaken by the bridge watchman aud a negro, who went to their rescue in a bat to \ In jumping tho wood passer .was severely bruised about the knees, by striking on the floating timbers. The captain aud firemen were rescued by the passengers. Tho al* rm aud consternatiou of the pitsen t * •«, consisting of tweni.y-thi( 1 gentlemen, three ladies and ten negroes, cau be bet ter imagiued than described. It is not strange that the passengers felt admiration uud gratitude for the bravo men who hod at the risk of their own lives saved them from probably a horrible deuth. They are unauuuo"s in their praise of the conductor, engineer, fireman an wood-passer. As an evidence of their appreciation, a meeting was hold on the train, at which the followiug resolutions were passed: Resolved, That whilst acknowledging our heartfelt thanks to a merciful Provi dence in averting a calamity 'hat threat ened our lives, aud the entire destruction of tho train, a deep sense of gratitude and respect for those under who: e charge we were, and through whose prudence and bravery the possibility of such an occurrence was prevented, impels us to seek this form of expressing our appre ciation of the cool and heroic conduct displayed by them in the determination to risk their own lives before endanger ing the safety of those entrusted to their care. Resolved, That to Conductor Captain S. C. Slawsoo, Engineer John Bonneau and their assistants in charge of this train, we are indebted to the preservation of our lives. After the passage of the resolutions by a unanimous vote of the passengers a subscription was taken up, for the pur pose of purchasing au appropriate testi monial for the conductor, engineer and asaistsntH, when the neat sum of $128 in cash wua obtained.
