Fourteen colored citizens of Spartan.

We copy from the Spartan:

A Stting Disclosure 3h
-According to the distorted inginza
tion of a corrog.ondent to the Columbia
Union, the climax is near at hand in
Spartanburg, and the bloody Ku Klux
are whetting their kniivei. The terrible
* disclosure of their plans has been
brought to light by an unfortunate lady
-- who, in an ungnarded m>mecnt, let th<
*Ku Klux cat out of the wallet. The
tale wvas told under promise of secrecy,
*and under ordinary circumsztanzces would
have been kept sacred, but as this is an
extraordinary case, we exonerate the
carpet bag writer, for- proving recreant
to his trust and ma:king the disclosure
public. It is a bi.g thing. Hie tells i;
p--uinly ton, witho'it varnish, nor set
downt aught in malice. If there is anyv
one to blame it is the K. K.'s themi
selves, who entrusted so important a se
cret to d.e kee; ing of a lady, when it i.,
* well kno. n that it is not i'i the na'.u: e
of the scx 40c keep one. It is unifortu
. nate, :and enougrh to mike a man say
-'euad words to his granzdfa,ther,'o -it war
Fupposed that the wl:ule affair was a~
d ark as midnight, and par:ook of a
g-aveyard character. But just now~ in
tue vet y nick of timne,the: e -ret is wvornied
out and appears in the Columbia organ,
and next week will be in the Herald and
Tribune, and the chances are that the
wholc splendid pin will be squelched,
and fall to the ground like the bas less
fabric of a viNion, unless the K. K.'s can?
anticipate a little. The way of it is this.
The writer by some bouok or crook, be
came acquainted w' i th a ni "intelligent"
lady-color not mti.onedl-and work

Lehogs toa the h' lan, or wIl! soon. This
is good; if th u murdering; work is to be
done, it is better that:espect:.ble citizens

disreputable characters, as it might be
h->tched and done in a sl.oven!v manner.

be severe ; our expe iienet of 'conscque n- ou

might be disposed to think that lie told St
an untruth. lis advice to his party is h1:
that if (ov. Scott does not Comule at once to

is a horrible tale, and had enough to wi

prograimme ns the law of the Medes :nd h

lieved salvation would come of it. A
little murder here and there, and a barib ,
burning, were child's p!ay to the actual .
work of deliverance, and only done to
keep their handls iii. A' d how faithfull af
these little by plays were carried out, %V
everybody knows. The fact i,,onrscience t
is beginii:g to troulle the cariet bag P
gentry, and like the hiloody lichard the I
are having dreams which shake their a
souls. We don't believe their lives are

advice to leave ought to"be complied I
with.

measure. prevent no little sickness. Piles
filth allowed to remain now under the co

CjUTC1 ORGAN AND CHOIR ITEMS.-A I
Minister from a rural district who had never
heard organs and quartetts, being invited to
preach in a New York church, was greatly
perplexed with the prelude and the artistic
style with which the hymn was rendered.
After prayer he gave out the second
hymn, saying: "Tlie audience will now join
me in singing an old Methodist hymn, and
those persons running that bag of wind in the
gallery will please not interrupt."
Dr. McCosh preacliel in a pulpit where the
quartetre choir sang tLe first pi-ce in most
s tinished and artistic style-so artistie that
- neither mini:4cr nor people understood one
word of what was sung. W hen it was ended
the I)octor waited a inomentas if he expected
the applause to coine in, but as it did not he
- rose and gravely said: "And now we m Ill
a commence the wotship of God in the u-e of
r the 27th hymn."
A- U.rO.TUNATE VIsITATO.-WeI

in bed. Young succeeded in getting out of a
window in the rear, and escaped over a fence.

H one of which it is said took effect, inflicting
If however only a very slight wound They

n an open window of Mr. Caldwell'sroom, they
- surprised him and the jalor, Mr. Bailey, and
held them as prisoners, first forcibly eject
d ing them out through the window into the
. yird. A deman(I for the keys was then
e made, but as neither had them in possession,
t some of the party went in quest of the Sher.
,e iff, who occupied another room. About this
r- time, Mr. Caldwell states, the order was giv,
en by some one for the whole party to with
draw, which they did. Ile states that ther -
r- were about fifteen in and around the jail.
'The whole party left there as they came, si.
leutly and mysteriously, no one knowing
from whence or where. It is said further
that before running, Young fired at the par
tv and wounded ono o* them. As sooi,
therefore, as p-ile Sherifff Paysinger: sum

The entire comnur.iy deplore the com
mittal of this act, and particularly at this
juic:ure, when the County rested in profound
It peace, and the hope wa, entertained, in spite
of the ugly occurrences taking place else
where, that nothing of this kind would or
fl could transpire to disturb its quiet.
d A STnEAK OF Luc:.-The munificent
terms offered by Strakosch to M'lle Nilsson,
strikes the tympanum of this local. One
re thousand dollars each for sixty nightly war
bles, making the magnificent grand total of
a sixty thousand dollars, is the otfer which
it has been made, and the papers say that
Mademoiselle has not yet consented to ac
cept. We are rejoiced at this; it leaves the
r. field open, and we are determined to enter
n for the golden prize. It has always been a
a question whether we wo-2ld condescend to
'appear on the stage before a mixed asscm%
blage, but one thou-and dollars a nig;ht, for
oso small an cffort, turns the scale. It would
d bec ridieu!ous nonsense to refu.-e such a
chance. One thousand a nigh:! What a

C'EI..-The~ theory th;at the virus ofdis
e2:1se caun be safely counteracted by doses of
poison, is false and dangerotus. Within the
last twenty-five years, not less thtan a score
of vi'u!ent poisona havee been added to the
r poitory of theC medical profession. They
are giro'n in small doses, otherwise they
would de.stroy life immedaia&tely ; but even im
minte qua:tities, they produce, ultimately,
ver'- dis:astrons elfects. It is unwise and
unthilosophlical to emtiploy, as remedies,
powerltl and insidions drugs, which, in
et jt;ating one'. dliseae, soa thet seeds of
tanoter still more nuant oagrneable. Nonte of
Lthes terrible mtedicaets opaerates with as
nuch direcitness and certainity upon the
:tus of adisease as IIlostetter's Stou
zeet lit:ers, a Ionic and corrective,
without a singlec deleterious ingredient in
s comtposition. Arsenice nd quzinia are
~ivent for intermaittentts ;bromide of potas
im faar nervouas di-orders ; strychnine an
rssie acial for genteral de bility ; mercury, in
ationas formts, for liver complaint ; prepa
ratios of chloroform and opium for sleep
esess; and yet these deadly drugs do nos
:ompare, as specifics for thte diseases above
enmerated, with that wholesome vegeta
ble invigorant and alterative, while they are
all so pernicious that it is astonishing any
pysician shtould take the responsibility of
prescribing them. Let it.valids, for their
on n sakes, try the Bitters before they re
sort to the poisons. The rellef they will
experience from a course of the harmiles
specific, will render a recourse to the un
safe preparationis referred to, quite um
necessary. May 3, 18-1m
