hope of half success. His equal as a stumper
has never be3n in the State and never will be
until he has passed away. Turn him out before
the masses of the people and he is irresistible.
No sort of convention can hold him,
nor combination defeat him. In 1855 the
Whigs had a majority of fifteen thousand,
headed by Gentry and Henry, the eagle orators,
a force that was considered irresistible;
yet Andy Johnson came down from the mountains
like an avalanche and hewed his way to
the Mississippi, leaving the wrecks of Whiggery
and Know Nothingism behind him.
He is as powerful a speaker to-day as then,
and if once fairly before the people discussing
live issues, he will knock the hind sights oft" of"
any and all opposition that can be brought
" out General Cheatham and General Brown
and General Bate, and General Quarles and
General Isham G. Harris need not arrange to
defeat hira, for if he makes the effort and takes
the stump he will get the office, convention or
no convention.
Mr. Johnson left his home in Greenville,
Friday and spoke in Knoxville Saturday.
Sunday he came on to this city and will speak
here Saturday. If I remain here until after
that time the readers of the Enquirer shall j
have a brief account of what he says.
Tuesday night he was serenaded at the residence
of John P. White in Edgefield. I
went over and was surprised to see so large a
crowd gather in so short a time. The serenade
was unexpected to him, but he is "always
ready," and spoke two hours, his speech being
directed entirely to national affairs. Last
night at the Maxwell House he was again
serenaded and spoke about half an hour. All
who hear him, whether friend or foe, are convinced
that "there is life in the old man yet,"
and a good deal of it He has not yet indicated
whether he will take the stump; but if he
does there will be warm times in Tennessee.

COL. WHITLEY'S KU-KLUX REPORT. I
^ Col. Whitley, chief of the government de- j
? tective force, has addressed the following let- j
ter to Attorney-General Williams, under date j
of New York, August 9th, 1872:
Sir?I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of a communication from y\ ur department
under date of the 2d instant, enclosing
a copy of a letter from Gerrit Smith, addressed
to the President in relation to those
convicts in the Albany penitentiary who were
convicted of violations of the enforcement acts,
and requesting me to go to Albany and make
a thorough investigation into the condition of
these prisoners and report to the department
my views as to the expediency of exercising
executive clemency in regard to any of them.
In accordance with your request I proceeded
to Albany on the 7th instant for the purpose
of fulfilling the duty assigned. As a means
of conducing my inquiries in a way best adapted
to arrive at all the facts in the case, and
also to lead the prisoners to express themselves
as freely as possible, I deemed it best to see
each of the parties separately, without any
nrvAn flioii* no**f oa fn m\r nfflnio 1

character, or the object of my visit. In this
I received the fullest aid of Mr. Louis D.
Pillsbury, head-keeper of the prison, who
brought each prisoner in separately, with the
simple remark to each that this gentleman
desires to talk with you. The prisoners were
mainly frank and communicative. Some of
them are very poor and unlearned, and have
left large families behind them, and while acknowledging
that they were members of the
various orde-s of the organization known under
the general head of the ku-klux klans, and
they had been justly sentenced as such, plead i
in extenuation that they had joined the order
without a full knowledge of its aims and ob
jects, and had been incited to deeds of violence
by their leaders, who had managed to
escape from the country, leaving them to bear i
^ the responsibility and the punishment of their
misdeeds. A number of them stated that they
had been compelled to join the order to save ;
themselves and families from visitations of the
klan; others had entered into its ranks under
the supposition that it was a society organized
for mutual protection, but learned subsequently
that its real designs were the extermination
of the negro race and the driving out of such j
of the whites as were in favor of the political i
equality and social elevation of the blacks, j
These severally expressed the heartiest con-;
trition for their misdeeds; stated that the or-1
ganization was one inimical to the best inter-;
ests of society, and that the government was
fully justified in breaking it up.
In further extenuation of having been members
of the order, they stated that the operations
of the ku-klux were widespread, embra- [
ciug within its folds men of superior intelli-1
gence to whom they had been accustomed to ,
look for advice and counsel, and who they did j
not suppose would lead them into any combinations
that contemplated personal violence
and even murder, if these were necessary, for
the accomplishment of its ends. They were
told that it was a good institution to put down i
^ some meanness in the country, and they ac- j
cepted the statement implicitly. Upward of j
forty examinations were made in the manner
above stated, neither prisoner knowing, that
any one but himself had been called out, and
none of them being aware, as before observed,
^ of my official position or the object of my !
visit. There was a singular unanimity in 1
their statements, and a general expression of
regret that they should have been drawn into
an order differing so entirely in the object
which they supposed it had in view when they
joined it. In reply to the general question,
what was the objects of the order, the answer
was almost invariably, when we joined the
order we supposed it to be a society established
for mutual protection, but after having been
fully initiated discovered it to be for a political
purpose, which purpose was embodied in !
an oath, in which we swore to oppose the
Radical party in all its forms, and preventI
the negroes from voting. It was this great | ]
| deception that misled us, and which has
I brought us into our present condition. The j
contrition manifested by many of these pris-!
oners, the hearty penitence expressed by them
for the acts, into the commission of which 1
^ . they claim they were betrayed by unscrupu- i
Ions and designing men of more enlightened
minds, their mutual want of intelligence, and
their extreme poverty, all appeal for raercyjVj
My views as to the expediency of restoring]?
any of them to society, through the exerciso*
of Executive clemency, are clearly in favor j
of such a course with some portion of them, |
and I believe it may be done in some of the
cases not only with great safety, but fully in
the interest of the public good. Of those to
which I intend respectfully to call your atten- j
tion, the prisoners appear not only truly re-j
pentant, but absolutely ashamed of the course j
*1 -- ?~ i :n: i? ? .?,i ;

They express themselves as anxious to return
to the peaceful pursuits of industry .whenever
the opportunity is afforded them, and to become
law-abiding citizens in their respective
communities.
Col. Whitley then names four persons safe-;
ly to be considered as proper subjects for the
exercise of executive clemency. They are
?ld men, poor and unlearned, and were, undoubtedly,
led into the ku-klux order by misrepresentation.
In regard to others, should
it be the intention of the government to make
an extended exercise of its clemency in that
direction, he submitted the names of eighteen
persons whom he deems most worthy of its
consideration. As to the remainder of the
prisoners, who entered the ku-klux order with
a full knowledge of its real object, Colonel
Whitley says it would not be entirely expedient
to exercise executive clemency.
The names reported upon favorably are
those of Collins and seventeen others from
South Carolina imprisoned. Collins is one of
the persons for whom Gerritt Smith had inrterceded,
and is an illiterate, simple-minded 1
gous to that of Collins. Colonel Whitley reports
against the pardon of SamueljG. Brown,
for whom a pardon was recommended by Mr.
Smith.
The Baltimore American, an administration |
paper, commenting on Whitley's report, says :
"His report is no doubt perfectly truthful, j
but the partisan press of the country will not,
so recognize it. It is to be regretted that the i
President did not name a commission compos- j
ed of three honorable gentlemen, in whom the :
people of the Unted States have entire confi- !
dence. One of the commissioners should have I
been a Democrat, another a Republican, and j
the third a Liberal Repulican. They should !
have quietly proceeded to Albany with a !
phonographer, and examined each prisoner j
separately, just as Colonel Whitley did, and i
from their answers to the questions propound- j
ed, the report should have been framed."
The Gazette, an anti-administration paper, j
ootro
fi"V?
"The report is evidently gotten up as a po-1
litical document for campaign use; state- :
ments obtained from those unfortunate prisoners
in the hope of obtaining release, are as j
utterly worthless and unreliable as those put j
forward upon his own responsibility, by a |
person of Whitley's well-known and disrep- i
utable character."
A despatch from Washington, dated last
Friday, says:
"The President has ordered pardons made
out in the cases of David Collins, William j
Teal, Amos Owen, and William Scruggs, kuklux
prisoners now confiued in the Albany |
penitentiary. Some days will necessarily J
elapse before they will be released, as official j
information as to time and place of convic- 1
tion will have to be furnished. Eighteen
other cases reported on by Whitley will doubtless
soon receive Executive consideration."
THE ALBANY PENITENTIARY.
A reporter of the New York World has recently
visited the Albany penitentiary, where
the prisoners from South Carolina, who were
convicted of violations of the enforcement
act are confined, and describes at length the
conversations he had with several of the prismiprs.
amonp them Mr. Samuel G. Brown, of
? ~7 O
York county. The conversation is thus reported
:
Samuel G. Brown, of York county, S. C.,
was one of the prisoners interviewed, and to
him I said:
"Tell me your case, how you came to be
here, and what you have to complain of."
"The greatest hardship of which I complain
is being arrested for being a ku-klux
when I never belonged to the Order at all.
My family are left in a very destitute condition."
,
"What family have you?"
"I have a wife and three daughters and two
sons. My wife and daughters have no one to
look after them; and there is my stock and !
farm all left to ruin without attendance."
"When were you arrested ?"
"I was arrested on the 19th of October, i
1871, and by the advice of ray counsel I *
pleaded guilty, which was a very foolish i
thing to do, although a gentleman here yester- 1
day?Colonel Whitley?told me that he did <
not believe me when I said I was innocent; i
yet such is the fact. It was on the 26th of
December, 1871, that my counsel pleaded
guilty for me, and I am sentenced to five i
years." <
"Did you have no connection with the i
klan ?"
"I knew of the Order, and I attended one
meeting of the klan, and that was the hold
they had on me, and that was the reason I i
plead guilty."
"For what purpose did you attend that i
mating; did you intend to join the klan ?" t
'"No. not at all. I had a double purpose in i
going there. I wanted to save the life of a i
young man who him in a drunken frolic let ]
ot? onrl o 1 cr? I ,
UUt tsuiii? VI iuc iJVUi &VC vi iiuu va\x\**y muu m?uv j
to induce ray son to resign his position as ]
chief of the klan." v j
"Did you succeed ?"
"I did in both objects. My son resigned, <
and I saved the young man's life." ? <
"That was all the connection you had with i
the klan." 1
^ "That was all. I never belonged to it; i
never approved of it. I had two sons,\ both i
members or it, but I never tfas." - 1
"Were your sons arrested ?"
rtNo ; they got offi; they left the State." (
* Where are they tjow ?"n
k, "I don't know where they are now. I ]
think they have left the United States. Since
I have been imprisoned ray family have writ- '
ten to me that they had heard from them on
the 12th* of May last, but they did not say
where they were."
\ the prison.
The correspondent furnishes the following
description of the penitentiary, which he says
appears to be a well-arranged rind excellent
institution of its kind/and the prisoners from
South Carolina appear !to be treated as well
as is to be expected, '^excepting, of course,
that by being confined in a penitentiary, they
are made to endure imprisonment with hard
labor instead of imprisonment alone, which is
the limit of the punishment prescribed by the
act."
There are fourlarge shops, in which shoe- 1
malking in all its branches is carried on ; and
this is the only manufacture, except that the
women and very old men are employed in 1
making cane-bottomed chairs. There are at
i i J 1 x x_ n :
present six nunureuunu Lweuiy-uve jjuauiicra,
of whom ninety are women. The institution
belongs to the county, but they receive State .
prisoners from certain counties of the State
when the sentence is five years of over?as a
prisoner sentenced for so long a ferrtl is a !
source of profit to the institution, his labor
being more than an equivalent for his board, i
It also receives United. States prisoners from !
Washington, Virginia and West Virginia, i
North and South Carolina and Alabama, j J
The prison costs nothing either to county or,:1
State, being entirely self-supporting, with a i
surplus to spare at the end of each year. It !
is conducted on the silent system altogether, [.!
the prisoners not being allowed' to converse !,
either while at work or in their cells. There , (
is a fine school-room attached to the building, ;'
where all who wish can go for two evenings 1
out of the week, the only requisite for ad mis'- >
sion being the good conduct of the applicant.;
There are at present sixty-five regular atten-'
dants at the School, of all ages up to sixty:
years. The aim is to take the most ignorant j
and teacli them to read, write and cipher, so |
that on leaving the institution they may be I
able to get a living honestly. They are allowed
to write letters to friends every four
weeks and to receive all letters* which may be
sent to them. These are" distributed every
Sabbath morning, and every four weeks their
friends may see theih if they so desire. Their
friends are allowed to send them any little j
delicacies they may wish to, and a great many ]
do send to them canoed fruits or other fruit
in their season, <S^jLOnce in a year they get
a roast turkey dinnSj, and on the fourth of
July and on thanksgiving day a grand blow
out is given them. Coffee"1 every morning,
with bread and mush, comprises their breakfast.
For dinner, thYee days in the week,
they have fresh meat, soup and vegetables, j
with bread. One dav in the week pork and
beans, and two days salt beef and vegetables.^
On Saturdays they luxuriate on fish chowdei^*
the component parts of which are, for the
present crowd, fifty pounds of fish, one hun-,
dred and fifty pounds of pork and three bar-!
rels of potatoes peeled and sliced. Food for
the mind is provided as well as for the body^
and from a large and well stocked library the
prisoners are allowed to draw a book each
Sunday, returning and exchanging it on the
next Sabbath. The only newspaper allowed ..
to be seen by the convicts is the New York j
Ledger, as there is never any news in it, and j
the stories are considered harmless. In charge j
of the library and of the hospital is Major j
Hodge, one of Grant's defaulting pay-masters, >
who is serving out a sentence of ten years, and
which employment was considered more suitable
for him than making 9hoes. There is a
fine chapel in the upper story of the main
building, and here on each Sabbath the spiritual
wants of the convicts are ministered to by
the chaplain of the institution, who also has
charge of the school, assisted b\? four or five
volunteers among the officers. ' There are five
of the women confiued for long sentences,
those here being^regular attendants, goiug out
for a few weeks to be re-arrested and sent back
for short terms,,the prison receiving prisoners
of thecounty for termsaslow as sixty days, and
the terms of the inmates range from this low
term to life. The health of the prisoners is
uniformly good, and but few of the beds of
the hospital were tenanted yesterday, and every
part of the institution was a model of neatness
and cleanliness, from the kitchen to the attic.
The view from the superintendent's office is a
peculiarly fine one, and except the fact that
the inmates cannot visit their friends and acquaintances
as often as they might desire, it

HON. A. S. WALLACE RE-NOMINATED.
The Republican nominating Convention for
the Fourth Congressional District, met in Columbia
on Thursday last. The Congressional
District embraces nine counties, viz: Lauren ^
Union, York, Chester, Fairfield, Greenvillo,
Spartanburg, Pickens and Oconee. There
were two candidates in the field?Hon. A. S.
Wallace, the present incumbent, and C. C.
Puffer, who is engaged in working a gold
mine in Union county. Soon after the con-1
vention was organized, Puffer withdrew his J
name, and on the first ballot Wallace was renominated
without opposition, receiving every I
vote cast. After the result was formally an- .
nounced, Mr. Wallace was introduced to the i
Convention, when, according to the Union?
"He thanked the convention for this triple
evidence of their gratitude and partiality,
and made a most telliDg speech. Among
the points alluded to by him, were the incidents
of his past life; the fact of the split
in the first convention that had nominated
him to the same position, and the contention
in the second convention that had nominated
him and endorsed his course, and how
he had previous to that time pressed the contest
in the interests of the Republican party
and of right. He had always and now respected
the men who had contested the ground
with him ; they had fought him gallantly and
nobly, and he desired no man to level his
prejudices on his own account; but they had
been beaten in a square fight. Mr. Wallace
then referred to the ku-klux opposition, and
the part he had taken in suppressing the
3ame, and the many outrages that had been
committed. The ku-klux candidate had said
in cnWnrice. that if he could not eret to Con
gress he would make it cost Wallace as much
as possible, but his and his constituents' efforts
had been all in vain, for notwithstanding
that the condition of the country had been
3uch that he, Wallace, could hardly take any
evidence, his opponent had been turned out
of court as it were in Congress, having failed
totally to make any case. In this, said the
speaker, again were you, my constituents
triumphant, and the band of murderers driven
from your midst. In touching upon his action
regarding the ku-klux law, Mr. Wallace
asked, could he be quiet when murder was
3talking boldly in broad day? The State
government had failed to issue a single proclamation
regarding the perpetrators. He
made no charges now, but these were the
facts as they were, and some of the incentives
that moved him. All that was now needed
was a fair ballot and we would be again triumphant*
There are no doubts anywhere,
3aid the speaker, of Grant's success, when
made all the stronger by being linked with
the colored, the laborer's, and the poor man's
friend?Henry Wilson. Mr. Wallace's eulogy
of Henry Wilson was beautiful and timely,
as were his remarks regarding GeQrGranty
ind caused much applause. \
He closed by a reference to the great rev
iuction in the public debt, the vast resources*
Df the country, and by referring to the fact
that he had advocated, as he'roeant to do in
the future, everything that would benefit and
-oioo iin trt o hinrli ninrnl standard t.he colored
race; incidentally referring to his vote for
the civil rights bill."
Addresses were delivered by Judge Macksy,
Solomon L. Hoge, Judge S. W. Melton
and L. C. Carpenter, editor of the Union.
The Union gives the following as the substance
of Judge Melton's remarks:
"Judge Samuel W. Melton, responding to
repeated calls, congratulated the nominee and
the convention for having done their duty
well; he took especial pleasure in doing this,
as the candidate was an old resident of his
native home. He believed he knew A. S.
Wallace as well as any other man, and referred
to his early life, when, said the speaker,
he got his living by following his own
plow ; whatever of honor he now has, has been
got by his own exertions. A. S. Wallace had
come flat off the ground, as ft were, and
raised himself up by force of his own character
and intellect. He had always been a
good Republican, (and probably sometimes
better than he would own, like many others
of us.) He was opposed to secession from the
start, and to State Rights, and to John C.
Calhoun's doctrines. He was an abolitionist
from the start. Judge Melton advised unity
of action, and a solid move on the enemy's
works, and had no doubts as to the result
next November."
The Democratic State Central Executive
Committee.?In pursuance of a resolution
of the Democratic Convention, held in
June last, I do hereby appoint the following
uamed persons to constitute the State Central
Executive Committee:
M. C. Butler, Richland ; Wade Hampton,
Richland; Thomas Y. Simons, Charleston ;
M. P. O'Connor, Charleston ; F. W. Dawson,
Charleston; John S. Richardson, Sumter; S.
P. Hamilton, Chester; J. P. Thomas, Richland;
Johnson Hagood, Barnwell; W. W.
Sellers, Marion; M. W. Gary, Edgefield;
Samuel McGowan, Abbeville; Henry Mclver,
Chesterfield ; H. H. Wallace, Union ; W. D.
Simpson, Laurens.
The Committee has been distributed over
the four Congressional Districts of the State,
and it is respectfully suggested that the gen
tlemen named take measures in their respective
districts to secure an organization in each
county in the State. W. D. PORTER,
President late Democratic Convention.
Major Louis Merrill's Share.?One of
the best known men in South Carolina is Maj.
Louis Merrili, of the Seventh Cavalry, the
commandant of the ku-klux district, and the
organizer of the ku-klux crusades. He is an
officer in the United States Army, and is paid
well by the government for his "professional
services." How comes it, then, that Major
Merrill figures on the books of the State
Treasurer as receiving five hundred dollars
from the "Armed Force" fund ? What pos- i
sible service could he render the State of
South Carolina which would entitle him to
such a sum ? Major Merrill owes it to himself
to make an explanation of this significant
fact. Perhaps he can, like Representative ;
Whipper, wash his hands of the whole business.
So much the better. The thing must
be probed to the bottom, however Scott &
Co., the unquestionable culprits, may wriggle
and squirm.? Charleston Neios.
W. J. Whipper publishes the following
card: "I am charged with having received
the insignificant sum of fortv-eieht dollars,
and subjected to the inquiry if I, with others,
who have drawn very large amounts from
that appropriation, am a member of the armed
force. I am free to assert that I have
never performed any services that could be
legitimately charged to the "armed force,"
nor have I any knowledge of ever receiving a
single cent from that appropriation. If the
amount of iuouey charged against me as hav
! ing been received from that source has been
' received by rae at all, it has been for services
rendered of another character, and paid out
of that appropriation without my knowledge;
! and I do not believe even that I would be
j very glad if the parties who have rendered
| this exhibit would state the time and other
facts connected with the payment."
AVe clip the following from the Troy (N.
Y.) Whig :
"Some three months since Dr. R. Y. Pierce,
I of Buffalo, N. Y., commenced advertising in
| the Whig, an article called "Dr. Sage's Caj
tarrh Remedy." AVe believed at that time it
i was one of the many catch-penny arrangements
to swindle people out of their money,
Lhnt. dnrint* the nast few weeks have become
I convinced to the contrary. We know ofsevj
ernl prominent citizens who have suffered from
{ thatloathsome disease "Catarrh," and they
; pronounce Dr. Sage's Remedy no humbug,
and in several instances have been entirely
cured. We desire to give Dr. Pierce the benfft
of the same.
Beauty's Best Auxiliary,?Ask the belle
of the season what appointment of her toilettable
holds the highest place in her esteem,
and she will reply, without a moment's reflection,
Hagan's Magnolia Balm. Nothing,
she is thoroughly aware, contributes so pow!
erfully to enhance her charms and render her
irresistible as that most delightful and healthy
auxiliary of beauty. By using it ladies are
enabled, long after they have passed the meridian
of life, to pi oe rve the youthful bloom
and purity of their complexions, and where
Nature has denied that superlative attraction,
the Balm fully compensates for her deficien|
cies.

PALMETTO ORPHAN HOME.
an earnest appeal to the citizens op south
carolina.
Dear Friends and Countrymen?Having been
entrusted with the benevolent work of providing
a home for the Orphans, and other equally unfortunate
children or South Carolina, we thus make
an earnest aoDeal for help in this great work.
The Palmetto Orphan &ome was organized last
April, and is now progressing with encouraging
prospects.
The Board of Trustees have adopted a Constitution
and By-Laws which define the nature, design
and mode of operation of this Institution. Its direct
management is to be by a local board consisting
of nine persons, in the city of Colombia, which
Board is to be snbiect to the direction of a general
Board consisting of two persons, from each
county in the State, which is to be called to meet
annually in Columbia, at such places as the local
Board may appoint. ?*
In the choice of persons to act on these Boards
| and of the officers of the Institution, no partiality
I is to be allowed on account of the religious sect to
which persons belong; but all appointments are
to be made on the broad principles of humanity
and charity.
The Constitution does not limit the ages at which
the children shall be received; but leaves that at
the discretion of the Board, who are to dedde
from the nature of each case as described in the
application.
/The Board are desirous of purchasing suitable
and valuable property .now for saleatlow figures,
for the location of the Home. We are, therefore,
confident that our appeal to the generous people
of South Carolina will at once brmg many liberal
donations and pledges to effect the permanent establishment
of the Palmetto Orphan Home, which
will be the best monument to the memory of our
dead we could possibly rear in our State.
The Board have appointed Tilman R. Gaines,
General Agent to organize Aid-Committees ana
to raise funds for the Home. And the Board will
take pleasure in acknowledging all amounts paid
to him or sent directly to us at Columbia. Donations
may be made in money, provisions, clothing
and anything that can be made useftil.
All applications for entering children must be
made to the Board, Address, i
