Tbe discussion io tho Houso on
tho Evans' bill, furnishes conclusive
proof of tbe conspiracy formed In
tbe passage of this act, for domina-

and, moreover, exhibits a* mucb
hypocracy as venality in the Radi-

But if further evidence wero
wanting, it may bo found in the
championship of tbo Senate, by a
negro, wbo claimed that "blacks
and whites should occupy the same
seats U'gotber," and claimed for bis
daughters as much consideration as

Tub New York Herald, don't like
Grant'* Ku-Kluxism, for overruning
the Southern State with fire and
«word, and urges that should the
Government rernovo Its infamous
disabilities from our people by a
general amnesty and act in good
faith towards them, there will no
longer be Any complaint ot diatur-
bance. Here i* its resume:
Under those disabilities it is no-
torious that Southern men best
'qualified, from education, experi-
ence and infijence, to assist in re.
storing law, order and harmony íp
the aoutfcern States, are ruled out,
and ignorant whites and blacks and
unscrupulous Northern adventur-
ers and speculators, coming into
power, have done much to bring
into general disrepute these Recon-
structed Southern State Govern-
ment. Make it the interest of tbe
Southern white men who give tbe
tone and tbe public sentiment to
Southern society, make it an object
with them to support the Constituí
tion as it is and tbe administration,
and you will gain tbem. In a
word, restore them completely to
the "rights, privileges and immu-
nities" of "citiions of the United
Statos and of the States in which
they reside," and yon will make
friends of enemies and convert
these horrid Ku-Klux-SLlana into
law abidiog men; for tbeir present
occupation will be gone with the
removal ol of tbe cause.
There appears to bo a concurrent
sentiment *n the'part of the leading
Radical and Democratic preaa
throughout tho United ¡States, that
Sumner's apeech ha* effectually kill-
ad off the acqufation of San Domin-
