* 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

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.

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

A Southern Consolation.?The past winte:

lost their lives. They were almost exclusive!]

Southern man or woman amongst them. Hat
these accidents taken place before the war, a con

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
