As to who he was, nothing could he ascertained, further than that a letter was found upon his person addressed to John Cox, Rome, <Ta,, from John L. Cox. KukVux. The affair is settled. The Ku-Klux bill has become a law. The Ku-Klux Congress has adjourned. The Grand i Cyclops is absent from Washington.— The whole thing is an iron clincher to the record of the most damnable legisla tion with which a Country was ever cursed. Hurry up. ye Radicals, your eternal dissolution, the people arc sur feited with your hellish rule; and : Pure, old Democracy will soon arise, And to remotest time Bequeathe like sunset to the skies, The splendor of her prime.

Ouu thanks are due Geu. P. M. B. Young, for a copy of his very able speech, delivered in the House of Rep resentatives on the Ith., day of April, upon the enforcement of the 14th., Amendment. It is a matter of general congratula tion that the people of our Congressional District find in Gen Young, so able and zealous a Representative. May his light never grow less: We give his concluding paragraphs : Sir, we want peace; that peace you so long promised us, that peace which is guarantied by the Constitution, and which to-uay is enjoyed by the people of every State iu the North and in the West. We only ask to be per mitted to participate in the Govern ment, and to feel that it is our Govern ment as well as yours. Restore to us our old Govermcnt; we wish to be citi zens of none other. We want no other Government ; it is the Government of our fathers and of yours; it is the Gov ernment we desire to transmit to our pos terity. The Government of the United States administered according to the Constitution I believe is the best Gov ernment in the world. For one, sir, I can say without suc cessful contradiction that since the fall of the banner of the lost cause I have la bored zealously to smooth over the bit ior ness and the asperities of the past, and I have douc all in my power to bring peace, quiet, and harmony to our distract ed country. Lawless acts have been committed in some localities of the South, hut to no such extent as has been alleged so often in this House. Law less acts occur everywhere. They are not produced in the South from any -pint of disloyalty to the Government; they are but the natural offspring of op pression, insult, and outrage, perpetrated ipon the people, and for which they have no legal redress. Mr. Speaker, there is a remedy for all Diese troubles. Restore to those people their rights under the Constitution ; re vt-re to them the responsibilities of* cit zenship in the Government; extend to them the hand of fellowship, and let them know that they are once more re -tored ti» lhe confidence of the Govern ment. Lift from them all their legal tool political disabilities pard n all their political offenses. Then, sir, you will have a country, not only bound together by its mountains, ib* rivers, its laws, and its common interests, but a country and :. Government bound and cemented by the affections of its. people. Pardon them. It is the spirit of peace; It is the spirit of justice; it is the spirit of charity; it is the command of God.

Addrcns to the Democrats of the Conn - j try htj their Jiepmmtativfa in Con- , 9™** Washington, April 20.—The Dem ocrats in Congress have just issued the j following address to the people of the ! United States : Our presence and official duties at Washington have enabled us to become fully acquainted with the actions and | designs of those who control the Radi cal party, and we feel called upon to ut- i ter a few words of warning against the j alarming strides they have made towards j centralization of power in the hands of Congress and the Executive. The lime ! and attention of the Radical leaders have been almost wholly directed to de vising such legislation as will in their view best preserve their ascendancy, and no regards for the restraints imposed by the Constitution has checked their reck less and desperate career. The President of the United States has been formally announced as a candi- date for re-election. The declaration of j his selfish supporters, have been re-is- j sued by a subsidized press, and the dis cipline of the party has already made adhesion to his personal fortunes the supreme test of political fealty. The partisan legislation to which we refer was decreed and shaped in secret caucus, where extremest counsels always domi nate, and were adopted by a subservient majority, if not with the intent, cer tainly, with the effect to place in the hands of the President the power to command his own renomination, and to employ the army, navy and militia at his sole discretion, and as a means of subserving his personal ambition. When the sad experience of the last two years, so disappointing to the hopes and generous confidence of the country, is considered in connection with the vi olent utterances and rash purposes of those -who control the Presidential pol icy, it is not surprising that the gravest apprehensions for the future peace of the nation should be entertained. At a time when labor is depressed and every material interest is palsied by oppressive taxation, public offices have been multi plied beyond all precedent to serve as instruments in the perpetuation of power. Partisanship is the only test applied to the distribution of this vast patronage. , Honesty, fitness, and moral worth are openly discarded in iavor of truckling ; submission and dishonorable compliance. Hence enormous defalcations and wide spread corruption have followed as the natural consequences of this pernicious system. By the official report of the Secretary of the Treasury it appears that after the deduction of all proper credits, many millions of dollars remain due from ex-collectors of internal reve nue, and no proper diligence has ever ! been used to collect them. Reforms iu the revenue and fiscal sys ! terns which all experience demonstrates i to be necessary to the frugal adminis tration of the government, as well as a measure of relief to an overburdened people, have been persistently postponed adjourns without having even attempted to reduce taxation or to repeal the glar ing impositions by which industry is crushed and impoverished. The treas ury is overflowing, and an excess of eighty millions of revenue is admitted, and yet, instead of some measure to pre sent relief, a barren and delusive resolu tion is passed by the Senate to consider the tariff and excise systems hereafter, as if the history of broken pledges and unapplied remedies furnished any bet ter assurance for future legislation than experience has done in the past. Ship building and the car-ying trade, once sources of national pride and prosperity, now languish under the crushing load of taxation, and nearly every other bus iness interest is struggling without pro fit to maintain itself. Our agricultural ists, while paying heavy taxes on all they consume, either to the government or monopolists, find the price for their ow r n products so reduced, that honest labor is denied its just reward, and in dustry is prostrated by invidious dis criminations. Nearly 2.000,000 of acres of public lands which should have been reserved for the benefit of the people, have been voted away to grants and corporations, neglecting our soldiers and enriching a handful of greedy speculators and lob byists. who are thereby enabled to exer cise most dangerous and corrupting in fluence in our State and Federal legis lation. If the career of those conspira tors be not checked the downfall of free government is inevitable, and with the elevation of a military dictator on the ruins of the republic. Under the pre tense of passing law’s to enforce the fif teenth amendment, and for other pur poses, Congress has conferred the most despotic powers upon the Executive, and provided an official machinery by which the liberties of the people are menaced and the sacred right of local self-gov ernnent in the States is ignored, if not tyrannically overthrown, by laws so odi ous that they are at variance with all the sacred theories of our institutions. The construction, given by these II a di es 1 interpreters ox the fourteenth amend ment, to use the language of an eminent Senator (Tiumbuil, of Illinois,) is the annihilation of the States. Uuder the last enforcement bill the Executive may in his discretion thrust aside the gov ernment of any State, suspend the writ of habeas corpus, arrest its Governor, imprison or disperse the Legislature, si lence its judges and trample down its people under the armed heel of its troops. ; Nothing is left to the citizens of a State ; which can any longer be called a right. Our hopes ibr redress are in the calm \ good sense and sober second thought of the American people. We call upon them to be true to themselves and to \ their past, and disregarding party names ; and minor differences, to insist on doeen- j tralization of power, the restriction of the Federal authority within its just and proper limits, leaving to the States that control of tlicir domestic affairs, which is essential to their happiness, j tranquillity and good government. Ev- j erything that malicious ingenuity could j suggest has been done to irritate the j people of the Middle and Southern * Ft ii'-s and • Xfurgeratod charges of disorder and violence owe their ori gin to the mischievous minds of the po litical managers in the Senate and House of Representatives, to which the Exec utive has, we are sorry to sav. lent his aid, and thep have helped to inflame popular fi-cling. In all this course of j hostile legislation and harsh resentment jno word of conciliation,-of kind eneour ■ agement or fraternal fellowship has ever been spoken by the President or by j Congress to thw people of the Southern j States. They have been addressed only | in language of proscrition. We earnestly entreat our fellow-citi zens in all parts of the Union to spare no effort to maintain peace and order, to carefully protect the rights of every citizen, to preserve kindly relations among all men and to discountenance and discourage any violation of the | rights of any portion of the people se ! cured under the Constitution or any of i its amendments. Let us in conclusion earnestly beg of : you not to aid the present attempt of the Radical partisans to stir up strife in | the land, to renew the issues of the war, j or to obstruct the return of peace or j prosperity to the Southern States, be- cause it is thus that they seek to divert the attention of the country from the corruption and extravagance of their ad ministration of public office, and the dangerous and profligate attempts they are making towards the creation of a centralized military government. In five years of peace following war the Radical administration have expended $1,200,000,000 for ordinary purposes alone, being within $200,000,000 of the aggregate amount spent for the same purposes in war and in peace du ring seventy-oife years preceding June 30, 1861, not including in either case the sum paid upon the principal or in Merest of flic public debt It is trifling with the intelligence of the people for the radical leaders to pretend that this vast sum has been honestly expend ed. Hundreds of millions of it have been wantonly squandered.— The expenditures of the Government for the fiscal year ending June 30,1861, were only $62,000,000, while for pre cisely the same purposes the civil list, army and navy, pensions and Indians $164,000,000 were expended during the fiscal year ending J une 10, 1870. No indignation can be too stern, and no scorn too severe for the assertion by un scrupulous Radical leaders that the Dem ocratic and Conservative party of the Union has or can have any sympathy with disorders or violence in any part of the country, or in the deprivation of any man of his rights under the Consti tution. It is to protect and perpetuate the rights which every freeman cherish es, to revive in all hearts the feeling of friendship, affection and harmony which are the best guarantees of law and order, and to throw around the humblest citi zen, wherever herriay be, the protection of these safe guards of personal safety which are the fundamental laws of the land, that we invoke the aid of all good men in the work of peace and reconcil iation We invite their generous co-op eration irrespective of all former differ- i voice of discord may be"'"relieved ; that ! anew and dangerous sectional agitation j may be checked ; that the burdens of taxation, direct or indirect, may be re -1 duced to the lowest point consistent I with the good faith due every just na ! tional obligation; and with a strictly eco nomical administration of the Govern ment, and that the States may be re stored in their integrity and true rela tions to our Federal Union. Here follow the signatures of all the Democratic Senators and most of the Representatives. Eloquent Appeal.—The Honorable Samuel S. Cox, concluded bis speech on the Ku Klux bill, in the following elo quent appeal to the Radical majority ! to desist from their bloody work : By all the lessons I have culled from ! history; by the graces which have paci fied nations heretofore; by the perils of smothered revenge and secret circles which 1 denounce; by our homes and | institutions ; by all that is ennobling in thought and ignoble in mere force, I ask you not to tempt the coming party by such excesses of power. Do not teach us bloody instructions! Lead us not into temptation ! You perceive that your shroud and grave are making You need not put your ear to the earth to hear the tramp of the coming Democracy, for you must have felt that the constant neglect of urgent duties here, as to taxation, commerce, and am nesty, are demoralizing and destruc tive. I pray you to pause on the brink. This legislation will rebound. Save us. the horrors which follow such inconsid erate tampering with our traditional and written liberties. Save yourselves, if not your country You have in your ranks men of splendid reputation and ability. Many have left and are leaving you whom you were once proud to claim. In their honor do not cut your blos soms of the past off from the parent stem. Save the country as a hand of States, not as a banditti of roving mercenaries or Paris Reds. I make my prayer to God for that mercy which we shall need in that hour when the execution of such a vindictive law as this is executed by the will of an absolute dictator, at the behest of a party. I make my appeal to you for that Constitution we are all sworn to support. It may be that our Constitution is like what someone says 1 of the Black Prince, too heavy to be I wielded by the pigmies of our time;: but if it is only a relic in the sanctuary, ; let it be an object of reverence for what it was. if not a term for what is—hon orable in its rust, if not in its edge. The Montgomery (Ala ) Mail advo- ! cates a dog tax in that city of fifty cents a head. It estimates an annual revenue 1 of£99 <>oo from that source. St. Louis Redeemed —A Dem ocratic Newspaper on the Great Victory. St Louis sends greeting to the I nlbn. For the first time in over ten years the citv of St. Louis, lately disfran chised and dishonored, elects a Demo cratic Mayor, and by a vote that indi cates her permanent redemption trom the thralldom of Radical tyranny and the spoliation of Radical venality. Her gallant Democracy have met the ‘•reunited” Republicans at the polls and put them to overwhelming rout.— j he home of Grant repudiates, by a sig nal majority, the policy of his adminis tration. The great principles which he i has abandoned and betrayed have been triumphantly vindicated iu the chief j city of the West. The voice of St. ! Louis is the voice of Missouri. Against j the further proscription of honest citi zens ; against the worse than Rus sian rule of the bayonet which the Rad ical party has inaugurated; against the infamous Ku Klux legislation; against the San Domingo swindle ; against the , fraud, corruption and folly that pervade ! every department of the Government, it ! yesterday proclaimed to the country the emphatic protest of freemen determined to rescue their country from the sway of the reckless partisans who have so long trampled upon the liberties and trifled with the vital interests of the people. The victory which the Democratic party of St. Lon is, by dint of bold and legitimate effort, in the face of desper- ate and unscrupulous odds—backed by the promises, bribed wbh the money or dictated to by the menaces of the Wash- j ington junta-carries with it a significance j that will be felt not only in the length and breadth of the Mississippi valley, but sweep, like the inspiration of power, throughout tlio reactionary elements of the country, from one end of the Union to the other It is an assurance to the friends of political liberty everywhere that in the great national struggle of the year to come the Democratic party of Missouri will be found shoulder to shoulder with the Democracy of New Hampshire and Connecticut —of the East and South and West —true to the principles of their common faith and faithful to the destinies of a restored,regenerated Union Ail Editor Sued. The editor of the Muscatine (Iowa) Courier was sued the other day. lie took it philosophically. Hear him : “ The dim recess of our dark sanctum was illuminated yesterday by the rubi cund visage of oitr friend, Constable Scott. Our hair stood on end as, with tears in his eyes, he proceeded to read a very nicely printed blank, on which our name figured conspicuously with tice Klein. “ To cut short a long article, we were sued! Wen? you ever sued, reader? Nice, aint it ? We put our pen behind our ear and looked wise at the officer. — lie trembled a little, for the idea of sue iug an editor was new to him.

Young Lawyers who are anxious for suits some times bring them for fun. Old ones, however, never cb anything of the kind unless they can get something. We never knew anybody to get anything where there wasn’t anything to be had. We hope they’ll get a judgement against us; then we hope they’ll Like out an execution; and, lastly, we hope they’ll execute it. If we’ve got any property we’d like to know.it. They might garnishee a lot of other fellows we owe around town. Wo guess they will If they’re sharp they’ll commence on George Schneider. We owe him a glass of beer. If they’d get that it would help a little. Failing in this, we recom mend them to attach a box of soiled pa per collars we have on hand. They’ve not been turned yet, and they migli use the clean side. If this won't #do, we are unable to help them.

Among the many improvements we tvo*-M particularize: The invention aud use of a centre-pinion of peculiar construction, to preveut damage to the train by the breakage of mainsprings, is original with the American Watch Compa ny, who, having had the refusal of all other contrivances, adopted Fogg's patent pinion as being the best and faultless. Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now universally admitted by watchmakers to he the best, arc used in all grades of Wallium watches. All Waltham watches have dust-proof caj s protecting the movement ffom dust, aud les sening the necessity of the frequent clearing necessary in other watches. Ou new patent stem-winder, or keyless watch, is already a decided success, and a great improvement ou any stem-winding watch in the American market, and by far the cheapest watch of its vitality now offered to the public.
