* THE KU-KLUX-KLAN--WHAT 18 IT I The New York Herald professes to have received the annexed circular from an official source. Whether it be a genuine document or not, is a matter of question, but it is at least interesting: Union Cemetery, Southern States, ) -Aprilb the 7th, 1868. j To the Editor of the Herald : By command of the Grand Cyclops of the secret order known to the outride world as the Ku-KhixKlap, I am directed in the name of truth and justice to make the following statement in reference to this organization. The columns of the Herald have been selected as the medium of this state^ inent for the reason Of its well known metropolitan w circulation. It is a well known axiom that men prefer misrepresentation and slanderous criticism to truth and charity. It is equally well known that there exists at this time in the United States two (if not more) gigantic secret political organizations, sustained by Congressional legislation, to wit: "The Grand Army of the Republic," a secret, oath-bound military order, and the "Loyal League," which is composed in the Southern States almost exclusively of negroes and Radical emissaries from the North. The grand objects of these secret Radical societies is to keep in subjection the Democratic party of the Nortn, and to Africanize the South, ana thereby, acting in concert with Congressional legislation, perpetuate the rule of the Radical party and change the American government from a free republic to a mongrel despotism. The army and navy of the United States, under the control of a Radical Congress, have been and are being used to destroy the liberties of p once free people, and to uphold and sustain yith their mighty power the insiriinns and devilish uoiDoses of the secret organ izations of the "Grand Army of the Republic" and the "Loyal League." Therefore, it is by no means wonderful that these secret societies should raise the ciy of a "new rebellion," "rebel," "assassin, '' "Southern traitor,'' &c. Let the enemies of free government and the advocates of negro equality and negro domination, beware! White men, and white men alone, are the comprehensive exponents of constitutional liberty, and must and < will exclusively rule and govern the American republic. Michigan and Connecticut but re-echo this sentiment What, then, of the Ku-Klux-Klan? Is it a myth or a stern reality ? We answer that it is a great and unconquerable organization. It is not confined exclusively to any State or Territory of the American Union, but has strength and form wherever the flag of the American Republic is reoognized as the emblem of constitutional liberty, in some localities the organization is much more powerful than in others. It is stronger in Kentucky than in any other State ; Tennessee next, Missouri third, Virginia fourth, Maryland fifth, and New York sixth. There is not a department of the Federal Government, of the army and navy, that has not a potent membership. Confederate and Federal soldiers, Confederate and Federal sailors alike vie in the objects and purposes of the organization. There is not a leading daily newspaper throughout the entire oountrv that has not their Ku Klux. Therefore, the Ku-Klux-Klan is neither sectional nor partisan, but eminently Conservative and national in its organization and purposes. White citizens of the United States can only become members of the Ku-Kux-Klan; Radicals, Infidels and negroes cannot become member of the Ku-Klux-Klan; for the meaning of the term is a Circle of Friends, the sole object of which is the perpetuity of constitutional liberty. The organization of the Ku-Klux-Klan origina^ ted from a necessity?the result of Radical legisla ^ LIUil UI1U IUC 1UI UiUtlUlI Ui VU? Ijwtvvj/VMMVW ww.mof the "Loyal League" and the "Grand Army of the Republic/' consequently the Ku-Klux-Klan is the effect of Radical despotism and injustice. The Ku-Klux-Klan was first organized in Giles county,' Tenn., in^Aaigust, 1866, and was an absolute necessity, resulting from the tyranny, domination and aggression of the Browalow Legislature. The passage of the Sherman-Shellabarger Bills and supplements in the spring of 1867 gave the organization a new impetus throughout the South. The increase of the organization in the Northern and Western States, ana especially in the Pacific States, from the 1st of November, 1867, to the 1st of April, 1868, has been beyond the expectation of its most ardent friends. The organization at this time numbers over seven hundred thousand members, with as rapid additions as Ofce may reauire. The Know Nothing party was defeated and utterly destroyed by the National Democratic Party, without recourse to a counter secret organization, for the main reason that the Know Nothing Party had not the control of the Federal Government and hence were unable to uphold their organization by the purse and sword. Until recently, however, the enemies of the Ku-Klux-Klan possessed the government and wielded its mighty powere. j They possess it to-day, but only in name; not in * reality. Let the tyrants of a mongrel and infamously corrupt party beware! Your party is but a shell. The castle of radicalism has been permeated and undermined by the white ant of the ^ Ku-Klux. P The Ku-Klux-Klan is, therefore, a secret political organization, the result of necessity, the sole object of which is to thwart Radicalism, arrest negro domination in the South, negro equality in the North, perpetuate the Federal Union and preserve the Constitution as the fathers made it. And whoever asserts to the contrary utters falsehood. That the Ku-Klux-Klan have secrets unknown to the uninitiated is not denied; so have the ancient orders of Free Masonry, Odd Fellowship and other secret orders and societies: but like Free Masonry and Odd Fellowship the objects and purposes of the Ku-Klux-Klan have thus been, tor the first time, officially promulgated. The iucredulous and guilty mav carp and misrepresent; but the wicked, the ungodly and the peijured will soon feel the keen edge of the sickle and the invisible boring of the white ant. Let the coffin be closed. GABRIEL, G. G. T. & Y. ROBBER CAUGHT. , Some time ago the Canal Bank, of New Orleans was robbed, in open daylight, of $50,000. The robber picked up a package from the desk while the attention of the clerk, who had it in oharge, was attracted in another direction. The robber, whose name is Ap. Rilfool, has been arrested, and as the arrest was accomplished under very sigular circumstances, we present the full particulars, as given by a New Orleans paper : The skill and ingenuity displayed in working up the case, and carrying it to a successful issue, reflects thd highest credit upon the detectives'. Visiting the bank shortly after the robbery had been committed, they noted everything that was calculated to help them in the search they had determined to make?nothing escaping their careful scrutiny. ' They saw at a glance that the thief must have beeu an exceedingly tall man, with long arms, to have taken the envelope containing the money from the spot where it had been placed by the exchange clerk, Mr. P. L. Duquency, and on a minute examination of the lower edge of the railing upon which he must have stepped, they discovered tne imprint of a tack. This at once arrested their attention, and thev argued to themselves that the man evidently had worn a machine-made shoe or boot, as in these a steel tack or rivet is always driven about the centre or just beyond the shank. It will be admitted that this was but a poor clue upon which to hang a hope of pursuing the search to a successful issue, and the result only proves what may be accomplished by resolute and expert detectives, when added to the esprit du corps which exits among them, is the grand incentive of a large reward. These two men immediately became lost to almost everything save a contemplation of men's feet. ^ They walked stealthily behind all the tall men they ^ met, endeavoring to catch a glimpse of the soles of their boots, hoping to see some protruding tacs which might lead to a discovery. Days of weary and fruitless search passed. They had inspected the soles of almost every individual who walks our streets, without avail, when the merest chance revealed what they had sought so long and vainly. Having sauntered together into the City Hotel, about two o'clock, while most of the guests were seated around the long tables in the reading-room, or gathered in cosy knots conversing on the topics of the day, they sat down to observe and compare notes. Presently officer Farrell observed a large man, sitting on the opposite side of the table, with one foot resting on his knee. He immediatelj called Izard's attention to the man, who seemed tc be endeavoring to bend down a tack in his boo! with the end of his penknife. The intense satis faction and surprise of the two detectives may b< readily imagined, Here was a man who answerec their idea of the robber exactly. He was tall, long limbed, and there, from the centre of his boot, pro traded a steel tack. To quietly walk round t< where the man sat, to touch him on the shouldei ' and whisper in his ear that he was a prisoner, wa the work of a moment. The manner in which th< man started, trembled and turned pale, would hav< convinced them of his guilt had thev seen no tale h telling tack. Without useless words thev causec W the man to walk with them to the chief of police'! office; after a few attempts at prevarication, h< made a full confession. It seems that going to th< bank to inouirc the rate of exchange, he saw the clerk leave his desk, and through the wire gauz< detected the money envelope lying on the ledger. A wild impulse seized him to possess it, and quick as thought he reached over, displaced the gas bracket, grasped the envelope, replaced the bracket, and noiselessly left the Dank. He stated further, that he had been greatly surprised at the large amount contained in the envelope, and seeing that the notes were all numbered, had cut open the mattress in his room at the City Hotel, and thrust them in, hoping to leave the city in a few days unobserved with his prize, to wait until the affair had blown over, and he might offer the notes with impunity. On repairing to the City Hotel, the officers, after a private conversation with Mr. Morse, the proprietor, obtained the proper key to the room, and were soon in possession of the prize which they had so industriously sought, ana the loss of which had been so absorbing a topic of.conversation. On examining theenvelope itwasfound that all the notes were safe, there being fifty $100C bills in the package. ? ? Butler's Biblical Bull.?The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Times gives the following account of the origin of Butler's scriptural quotation : "In his opening speech, in the impeachment case, Butler desired to use the scriptural quotatation: 'Father, forgive them, for they know nol what they do:' but could not recall the name of its author. He was preparing his speech in his I nffiAo nt liio Kioidoniw fh? fiinp Ann nnA or twn i of his friends were present, to whom he appealed for information. One gentleman said it was used by Daniel in the lion's den; another by Moses, when he saw the Jews worshipping the golden calf; another, by John the Baptist crying in the wilderness. But Colonel Wilts Shaffer cried out, in his off-hand way, 'Why, you blasted fools, what are you talking about ? Do you want to spoil the General's great speech by your ignorance of the Holy Scripture? I'm posted on the Bible, I'll tell you. It was that old fellow that the Jews stoned that used those words?old Stephen ; that's the man that used them. He made that prayer just before he breathed his last.' 'You're right, Wilts,' said the General; 'I recollect it now perfectly.' And so it was set down in the speech, and so it was delivered. The Way the Vote was Controlled.?The election that closed on Thursday, if tragical in its future, was comical in its exhibitions of the ignorance of the black voters. Men voted who knew no more than a horse of what the thing meant. They were under perfect discipline, however. This election has caused some strange developments. It appears that the League haa bound its members, by solemn oaths, to vote as it might dictate. Some affirmed that they could not join their church, unless they would swear to vote according to the League. The fiercest threats were used to prevent negroes from voting the Democratic ticket Do this, and they would be mobbed, hung, shot, ridden on a rail, their head shaved; they would be reduced to slavery; they would again have to get passes, &c., &c. In the Fork, where Capt. Beverly Nash was as Soweful as the King of Dahomey, they obeyed orers like good soldiers. The" current threat there was, that if they did not vote as Nash might tell them, their "chunJc wuld be outed."?Columbia Phoenix The Lancaster Fire.?The peace of our quiet little town was disturbed orf Thursday morning > - -i?^ i?i- i? *1? -i last a do ui. aayurcu&, uy tue uiuun in u&c, nmuu proved to be the unoccupied residence of Mr. A. J. Kibler, on Main-street, opposite the store of Hasseltine & Chafee. When first discovered it had made such progress that it was impossible to check it It rapidly spread to the adjoining buildings, a storehouse and the hotel of Mr. J. M. Crockett Through the efforts of the freedmen, who displayed conspicuous gallantry on the occasion, the fire was confined to the buildings above named. The stores of Messrs. Hasseltine & Chafee, and Hickson & Sadler, on the opposite side of the street, were several times on fire, but a continual stream of water from about one hundred!buckets. used principally by the freedmen, finally conquered the devouring element in this quarter.?Lancaster Ledger. The Fate of Grenfel.?It now appears that the escape of St4beger Grenfel from tne Dry Tortugas took place on the night between the 6th and 7th of March last The Colonel managed to take along with him three other prisoners and one of the soldiers who was on guard at the time, being the one who was the sentinel in charge of the boat connected with the post, whilst lie was on guard. It is supposed that tne Colonel in some way managed to bribe the guard to desert, and to aid him and the other three prisoners to escape. As soon as the escape was discovered, the United States steamer Bibb was sent out in search of the fugitives, but she failed to find any trace of them. On the night of the escape it was blowing a gale, and as the boat which they took was but small and in bad condition, it is probable that they all perished. The Flag and Partizanship.?It is hardlj creditable to those engaged in blockading the waj of Seargant Bates to tne dome of the capitol, thai they succeeded in their efforts. Ordinarily anj person is permitted to go unobstructed to the dome, and the Seargeant was told that no objection would be made to his going, but he must go unaccorapa nied by the flag. The special permit of Genera Michler was disregarded, the capitol police looking for orders to the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate and of the House. But Mr. Brown's permit w;u also disregarded, and the flag which had bm brought all the way from Vicksburg, and received every Where by the people with honor, met the first exhibition of partisan contumely here in the - ' *. 1 it? 7 ? _ 7."t nation s capitoi.? vvasnuigion jyxpress. ? A Southern Consolation.?The past winte: and present season have been remarkable for th< numerous dreadful railroad and steamboat acci dents, by which many hundred passengers hav< lost their lives. They were almost exclusive!] Northern people. IVe do not remember a singli Southern man or woman amongst them. Hat these accidents taken place before the war, a con siderable part of those who perished would hav< been our Southern fellow-citizens. But now the] do not travel at the North, and are not put in peri by the reckless system of transportation which ha hurried so many souls to eternity. This is somi consolation to a community which has not tin means to travel.?Richmond Dispatch. North Carolina Elections.?The election: commenced in North Carolina on Tuesday last Both parties are making desperate efforts. In th< cities and large towns the negroes will vote th< Radical ticket almost en masse, while in the coun try districts considerable numbers will remain awa] from the polls. The vote will exceed that cast fo the convention question by at least 75,000, the to tal registered voters being now nearly 200,000 Holden will probably run considerably behind th . vote for the constitution. The feeling between tb white and black races is more bitter than at an; previous period. ? Arrest op a Delegate.?Frank Arnim, white delegate to the convention from Edgefield was arrested a few days since by the United State Marshal for fraud and embezzlement of govern ment funds, and is now confined in the jail. Th charges were preferred against Arnim while in th convention, but his position prevented his arrest a that time. He has since been nominated for th State Legislature by the Republican party, bu neither his past nor prospective honors could sav him from the clutches of the law. The case wi < be tried before the United StatesCourt.?Charla ton News. Affairs in Virginia.?The Virginia Conver tion adjourned ou Saturday last at midnight, sut ject to a call from the committee. Only tue pres dent and secretary signed the constitution, resole tions having been adopted dispensing with th signatures ot members.

The sale of the public securities during the past week has caused a material appreciation in the value of sundry stocks and bonus. It has also relieved the tightness of the money market and created a buoyancy from which the most favora? ble results are looked for. The confidence evinced by Northern purchasers in our several Stato sG curities has had a similar effect upon our own j5eoEle, and hence it is believed that prices will not e depressed to their former low figure, unless it be from events now unforeseen.
