YORK VILLE, S. C., November 1 Every day, there M a fresh arriva frightened and repentant Ku Klux the country, who come in on foot, horse back or in wagons drawn by n to report themselves to Major Me make confession of all or a part of" they know about the Klan, and ask 1 tn go home, promising not to ran : and to report, again whenever sent The numb"* aroled in this mann now over th' e hundred. The par injunction these men get from the M or District Attorney is usually: " go home, and stay there, and mind ; own business, and when you're wai you'll be sent for. If you haven't ail you know, it will be the worse you, for it will all colite out before get through." The troubled Ku K is usually much relieved at this, says: "'Thank you. Major," and shu to the door, fumbling his dirty slouched hat, and starts for home wi great weight off his miud. Wheo left his log cabin tn the morning, feared he might sleep in the jail i night and many nights to come, and goes back to his slatternly, snuff dipr wife and troop of ragged, dirty, yell faced children with a lighter heart t! he ha* had for thc past three weeks Occasionally, a man does not esc so easily Previous confession? si that he has not told the truth, and t instead o having been only a pas ember of the order, obliged to join his own protection, he has been activ engaged in raiding. The Major ss quietly: "I am very sorry, sir, bi shall have to send you to jail. I kt more abott your doings than you se to yourself," and he steps to the d< calls a guard, and says: "Corporal, ti this mao to jail and deliver him Captain Ogden." Thc Ku Kin: marched off, and a visible gloom cot over the countenances of his friei waiting outside as he passes throu their midst. It sometimes happens that a mao vi comes io with a plausibly made upsti is astonished to find that M jor Mer knows his whole history, the names all his acquaintances, and of ev< member oi the Klan to which he longed. No sooner has he told his na thau thc Major talks to him somcwl in this way : "You are the mao I ha been wanting to see for some time. Y live on the Howell's Ferry road a belong to the Rattlesnake Klan. Y were tu the raid wheu Jim Williai was killed. Now, I don't ask you tell anything or make any promises, h if you wish to make a statement, y can do so." The poor devil forgets t lies he had invented and blurts out t truth. There are hundreds of men, howev< who were forced into the Order agait their will Some were brutally whipp before they could be made to join. 0 man was set astride a steer and whipp for five miles along the road to ti gatheriug place of the Klan. By ti time he arrived there he was ready take the oath. A great many of tl confessions are like this: "The whippings aud killings we goin* on all about our par; of the couotr and it j is' 'peered like as if n J man w safe. I was mighty skeered for fe thty'd enQie oo me, for there'd bet threats made agin me, and one nig Jim Brown he come to my house at said as how if 1 dniut join the Ku Kin they was a goin' to make a raid on m and I'd git u*ed mighty rough ; so don - joined so as I could live in pcac But. Major, I never believed in it n< how, aud I never went on no rai 'Pears iike as though they didn't tru me or want me along when any devi ment was goin' on." They are a hard looking set of mci these self convicted Ku Klux tin throng about the post commander office; but they are not as ill-looking j their comrades io jail, who will not cot fes-; who insist that they are'as ionocet aa the dead," and who never heard thei wa any such thing as Ku Klux ant tbey were arrested. The average whit man of South Carolina is the poorc specimen ot the Caucassian race I hav ever seeu on either side of the Atlantii Thc most discouraging feature abut him is that he shows no desire to im prove his condition. What can be ex pected from a man who will not t&k the trouble to put a window in hi house, and who keeps his door shut b putting a "chunk" of wood against i because he is too shiftless to wLittl ut a latch or a button. Brutal, co* ardly, and inconceivably ignorant, he i a Ku Klux by nature. There are, c course, a few intelligent and worth men sprinkled over the ountry, or th semblance of civilized society would nc have been possible; and these men i the old time controlled the lower a absolutely as did the Scottish chiel their ciaos. Whenever, in this Statt such men have opposed the Ku Kin: organization it never had any headway Unfortunately, in this county, and ii Spartan burg, Union and Chester, thea men, with exceptions so few as not to b worth mentioning, all joioed the Order some from ohoice, others through feat Of the latter class we had a good ex ample yesterday, io old 'Squire Hope, venerable and sensible man of 70, wbi was initiated by his brother justice o the peace, 'Squire Brown, who told tba the old men must join to control th young, who were getting too wild Brown, however, ia shown to have been himself a raider, and one of his tons wat the chief of a Klan. It is scarcely an exaggeration to ia] that the organisation embraced th< whole white voting popuhition of th< cour.try. Major Merrill concludes, i his six moDths' bard work io invest ting the conspiracy, that of the 2, white voters the are not 200 who 1 not been initiated, and so Bunei were the active members that thei no doubt that the Grand Chief or Cyc could any time in the spring or sam have assembled in twenty-four ho time over 1,000 mounted men, armed with guns and revolvers, i formed io the disguise of the Or and as thoroughly obedient to his cc mands as disciplined soldiers. If organization of this strength in a sit county is not a conspiracy of suffic magnitude to warrant the General G eminent in taking it in hand it is easy to see what would be. Forty Klans are know a lo have existed xvrk county. .Some of these h fanciful or ferocious names, such as Rattlesnakes, the Tigers, the WI Panthers, the Black Panthers, White Rangers, the Pilots, thc Avi .rers, &c, and others took the name: their chiefs or of thc localities wh they were formed. Each Klan elec its own chief, his lieutenant, ar d twe three "night ha<?ks," who were couri to notify to the members gatherings the Klan, and to communicate with central authority in York vi I le. All members had pistols and guo$i, mi had Winchester repeating ri es, whi there is reason to believe, were bouj in New York, with funds raised th< for the p ;rpose. Eight thousand these arm? are known to have b< brought to South Carolina since the 1 Klux troubles b:gan. Most of thc ti who now possess these guns never their lives had money enough at c time to buy one for they cost $40 850 each, and it is certain that th< that were not stolen from the ne militia were given to them by soi body. They were all well supplied wi thc peculiar ammunition thc guns i quired. The discipline of the Klans v severe. At Limestone Spring, Spartanburg county, a whipping p< was set up, where disobedient racuibt were flogged. The word of the ch was law to his Klan, and the order the Grand Chief was hw to his chie In all ordinary cases of whipping a abusing negroes, and disciplining th< Klaus, the chiefs acted on their oi responsibility : bit when any importa enterprise was contemplated the pl was laid by the Grand Chief and 1 Council, and orders dispatched by "nig hawks" to thc ;hiefs, who were r quired to co operate, to make a dct: from their Klais and mar h o ti rendezvous at an hour appointed. Thi when the railroad WES torn up, la March, to prevent the troops from cot ing herc, and thc raid to kill the Couo Treasurer was a ade, about -00 mi from half a dozeu or more diff re Klans were assembled, ou 24 hoot notice, at the time and spot appointe When the negroes were taken fro Union jail and murdered February la. 500 Ku Klux were assembled at I hours' notice, tinny riding 30 mil over Winter roa<.!s to the rendezvoui and so perfect was the discipline th the citizens who were not Ku Klux hi DO knowledge of the presence of th great body of armed men it the litt village. When Captain Jim Willian was hung in this county, three Kial were ordered to commit the murder. They met at the rendezvous ia an "ol pine field," and vrhen they were assen bled, Dr. Brattor: of this village a peared with orders from thc Grand Chi* to take command. No one but hirnse and the chiefs knew what was to t done, or where they were to go. H marched the party to William's housi and when thc poor victim was take from the arms of his shrieking wifi ordered the men to hang him, and pn duced the rope brought along for tb purpose Williams was an hones intelligent, hard working negro, wh was murdered because he had bee captain of a militia company. Bratto was a '"highly re-pectable" practicin physician in Yorkville. He fled th country as soon as the President's pro clamatton was issued. Wheo the uegr militiamen were massacred at Ch este last Spring, 509 men were brough together to do the work, it is estimate that as many as 2,000 more were on th road, the*ordere having been sent to a the Klans in a radius of 40 miles - Special traies on the railroad brough bodies of armed men from Charlotte, i North Carolina, and Wionsboro, io th county south of Chester. And all thi was because 80 negro militia had dare to m ireh through the town and camp i a grove near by. They had burt nooodj but alarmed for their lives by th harassing of the Ku Klux they ba assembled to insure, as tbej tboagbi their own safety. Tbe result of th attack on them was one white ma wounded ia the leg, and 16 black killed. I gave, in a dispatch from Columbii tbe signs of the Ku Klux, as told me b the prisoners brought there fror Spartauburg county, and I have airead given a copy of the constitution and by laws cf the order in York county, in previous letter. The countersign wa "I say," spoken with a peculiar intona tion. The party bailed, if a brotbe Ka Klux, answered : "You say what? to which tbe other replied: "Nothing, i The distress word was "Avalanche, which is a corruption of tbe word ambo ! lance tb&t was eon moo io the rebel ansi . The disguises weie not uniform, cae , Klan choosing foe itself io the way c , colon. The general regulatioos require ' that the disguise should consist of ; loog gowo, coming high ap OB the nee i and reaching to tte heels, with slee vei a hood covering the eotire hetd, aod mask. The horses were covered wit i white doth. This disguise was perfeel for oo pert of the wearer or his ordioaf r dress could be see . Even his neck ; i tie was concealed, aod his trowser i down to his boots, tod his horse wa unrecognizable. The Ka Klux, i time, became careless about their aod often went ont wijhout their -sometimes without masks-aod through this carelessness that were recognised. Their pitees c dezvous were fields, woods, cross mills, aod especially churches, they would pass around word of at the Sunday evening service and out, after they had received the diction, to maltreat or murder so God's poor. Religion had DO effe ward making these villains mei Oe one occasion, four men who h to kill a negro on Friday went I communion tabb and partook sacrament on the next Sunday, minister knowing that tliey had concerned in the murder. The murders were generally doc a large force-as the confessing Ku express il, by "a right smart dro* men." Sixty men killed a negro n Kouodtrce in the northern part o! county, two or three Klans coming North Carolina to help. In the wheie four men killed a negro by o it was thought safe to implicate whole Klan, and the Chief summ them all, led them to the place v the body had hung for three days, had it sunk io Broad River. Wt as well as blacks, where the victim raids-one man for talkiog of Ku Klux indiscreetly, another teaching a negro school, and ot because they wete "D-d Radie The baker's doxen of white Republi in the county were naturally jubilai the turning ot the tables on I cowardly enemies. They say thal such terrorism existed for them during the war as for Republicans t ing the past year. One of these i "Big Hill Wilson," he is called, having been "raided" two or tl times, had to leave to save hi? life, came back not long ago, and publit a card io the village paper, saying had not returned to prosecut the Klux, but to live in peace till he ct get his family away. Before he ready to move, the arrests com tuen The other day "Big Bill" rode by Commandant's house, and seeing crowd of Ku Klnx in the yard com confess, when he got near them sang: "Theyear of jnbilee has come. Return ye ransomed sinners home, And I aint going to move !" * To the colored people, this inst and thorough crushing of ;he Ku K villainy is a relief long prayed for : despaired of. No one can imagine sufferigns these poor creatures b endured in the past year-the terri anxiety, the constant fear of scourg and murder, the sleeping in the wo during the cold winter nights and in rains of Spring, and the actual lort that hundreds endured whose flesh io horribly mangled by the blows their brutal assailants that they i uever fully recover. *'I tell you, Sa a negro said to me to-day, "we \ mightily broken up. Hundreds of dido't dare sleep in our houses for f months. We jes'about guv it up, s done thought there was no help for We was all us on de side of the Norf, it 'peared like as if de Norf didn't kn it, aod wasn't goin' to do ntiffin us. The confessing Ku Klux agree to I main as' to what they understood w j the purposes of the organization. 0 man says he was told it was to "suppr lawlessness and support the Democn party," another that he understood was to "put dowo the Radical Oovei meat ;" another that it waa to "kc the oegroes from rising;" aoother tl thc purpose was to "keep fusses doi aod colored meo aod white worn apart," aod io on through ma variations of the same purpose, und stood by all, namely, hostility to the o groes and to the Republican party. A considerable portion of Ku KI were too ignorant to know much politics or parties, but they were n slow to see the advantages of being al to abuse with impunity, the black m and women who lived in their neig: torhood. The aim of the iotellige was to control this poor white eleme for their political advantages, and thoroughly crush the spirit of the o groes, so that they could be made work without wages aod vole as th were told I speak of this Ko Klux business the past tense. As far as York Couo is concerned, it is a thing of the pa: It is extirpated, root and branch. B ic* all the other counties of the pt claimed district there is reason to belie that the order is as powerful as ever, i though prudentially inactive at preses In FairScld County, fifteen new Kia are known to have been organized in tl month of Aagust last. It is not prob ble that the wo - of suppressing tl murderous conspiracy will be carri beyond the three cou o ties of Yor b'partanburg and Uoioo, before tl Court meets at Columbia oo the 27t If the work is prosecuted in all tl counties embraced in the proolamatioi with the thoronghoess with which j has been done here, it will be a labor many months.
