|?fejit Jiitclltpttr. The Election. In order to present pur readers with a fair estimato of the condition of things throughout the State, we havo selected from our State exchanges such paragraphs as tend to show the feeling and purposes of the white people. Wc begin the com? pilation with an admirable address from the Democratic Club of Newberry, copied from the Herald: The Central Executive Committee con? gratulate the citizens of this District on the recent- elections. We havo utterly failed to cany thorn; but we have proved that the white men are united, and that, many of the colored men have recognized and discharged their duty. Twenty-eight hundred and fifty-nine votes wore cast. Of these eight hundred and nineteen were Democratic. One hundred ot these votes wore Oast by colored men. Only fifteen white men voted the Radical ticket! And ,not one of them of an}* social or political position 1 Nearly halt'of the white men of the District did not vote at all. Wc bare not shown our strength. But wo will! The Central Executive Committee re? commend, that every man who can at all afford it shall introduce foreigners to cul? tivate our soil, the disposition of the ma? jority of our laborors being such as to warrant only ruin to the planting interest of the country. But the Committee especially commend all those mon?of whatever race or class ?who have not voted the Radical ticket; and they suggest that all good and truo men stand by them, and seo that they re cetve the due rowards of justice and hon? esty. All men of eighteen years of age who havo not voted the Radical ticket, are considered Democrats, and will bo re? spected accordingly. All is not-yt? lost! Truth, justice and liberty are not yet dead ! Citizens stand tqyour principles*and ali**will be well! Be calm ; be moderate; Xring the erring into the fold,-if possible. But be brave, honest, self-reliant. We will do no in? justice to other men ; but we are resolved that justice shall be done us! The Fairfield Herald says: Of the 240 votescastatthisboxagainst this Constitution, to their honor be it spoken, one hundred wcro cast-by colored men. One hundred colored-men, aroused to the fatal measures that would involve them in ruin, testified openly, their oppo? sition to it, and manifested their trust and oonfidenco in the whito people of the country, and their appreciation of harmo? ny and of the tyranny to be imposed up? on tho State. To these colored men we say, that they will never reg at their course. They will bo sustained by a con? sciousness of rectitude, of-justiee and even htfmanity; and wo add this, this exhibi? tion of friendliness will not bo lost upon ! the white mon of the country. We find upon comparing tho' Registry lists with the votes cast, that over one hundred whito men who regis-tered at this box did .not cast a vote Why is this? How, in this death struggle of a people "with the powers of tyranny and igno? rance, can one hundred men in a small precinct, find it consistent with their du? ties as men and citizens to stand supinely aloof, and not raiso a voice or make an effort, at least, in protest against the wrong ? We wont charge open defection, or oven indifference ; but we do say that if these hundred men had come forward aml'strivon with half the zeal their safety demands, the disparity would have been Jess?and even dofcat would havo b)en converted into a hopeful augury. The Greenville Enterprise has tho fol? lowing statement of affairs in that Dis? trict : The total vote in this District was 23S1. For the constitution, 1,G07?against, 774; majority for the constitution, 833. The total registered vote of the District was, if wo remember rightly, about SOUO. There were, therefore, 1200 voters who did not turn out; quite a sufficient num? ber to have changed the result of thcelce tion. It is presumed that these twelve hundrod were mostly white men. We have, as yet, rcceivod no report of all the boxes of the proportion of negro votes and white votes, but wc infer that most of tho 1400 registered negroes voted, and, with very few exceptions, with the Re? publicans. We do not consider the voto on the constitution as determining the political character of the District. The people of Greenville arc of tho same material, es? sentially, as thoso of Spartan burg and Pickons, and havo always, when roused, TOted with the Democratic part}-, as both these Districts have done. In this District, no organization was attcmptod by the Democratic and Con? servative part}*, till it was too late to ac? complish the result that was attained in the surrounding Districts, by their earlier and more njtivo arrangements. Wc bo iiovo tho election was passed off with very little party quarrels or bitterness, com? paratively speaking. We rejoice at this, as it leaves the minds of the people in a better condition, calmly to reflect upon tho consequences of establishing the su? premacy of tho negro race in South Car? olina, upon all the interests ol society. If it is a blessing for the white people of the mountains, and in othor parts of the State, to come under the rule of tho black pop? ulation, they can perpetuate it by indiffer? ence and neglect of their right of voting and speaking their opinions among each other. We do not believe that any fair and unprejudiced mind can come to such a conclusion. Party excitement, and the temptation of office and power, havo great force in blinding the minds of men, but this ought not to be so with the peo? ple generally. Tho Edgefield Advertiser furnishes the following paragraphs .* Jt is undoubtedly tho duty of white men to give the preference of employment to all colored men who voted the Demo eratic ticket. Fewer perhaps voted with tbo whites in Edgofidd than in any other part of the State. The fewer, however,tho more easily remembered. We do not imagine that any argument is needed to prove to the white pccple that they should do as wo have said above. Let those fjeedmen who have exhibited both good sense anti feeling, be particularly rome; boreel and patronized by the whites. Under existing circumstances,their votit with the whites was a brave thing. Th? deserve to be rewarded. Meat and bread to thc.freed men are ? vol veil it) these elections. White men a not going to feed their enemies. Thc will not nurse vipers in their bosoms i sting tl,im. The colored man is no choosing between carpet-bag speculator unknown strangers, and their own'Sou tl ern white people. As they choose, thei will bc peace and mutual support, or ai lagonism and separation. Thc colore men certainly know that an election not a thing done in a corner or in the si crecy of a league meeting, but in ope day and before The eyes of all men. Ev< rv vote cast is known and noted down o paper. Tho watchful eyes of tho whit people have been upon the election as ? transpired ; and every colored voter hu made his mark by his ballot, whether h is a friend or an enomy of his white neigl bors. Under tho present circumstances, w exhort thc white people of thc country the landholders and the intelligent, not t give wa}' an inch to thc unprincipled at venturers and mongrel barbarians wh are striving to rise to the top of affairs i this day of new things. Let us organiz still further and still moro persistent 1 j for passive yet undying resistance. Am we will thus be ready to take advantag ol .tho first opportunity for aggressiv movements, when such movements cai be counted rn as effective. A great con test is going on, and the day may come ero tho struggle is over, when thc whit* men of the South will turn the scale ii favor of right, justice and liberty. Thc Spartanburg Sjiartan says: We take pleasure in announcing tlx success of the Democratic ticket in Spar Um burg District, by a majority of 540 Since the organization of our Distrie Clubs, tho people of this portion of th< State have awakened to proper conccp lions of their present condition, and have become alarmed at the progress of Radi calism throughout thc land, leading direct ly io the everlasting ruin of the countty Tho results of >h?recent election here, is a proof direct that a thorough organiza tion is tho only hope of salvation for thc Soul h. What little has been done is cor tainly due to tiie organizations recently formed in various parts of the State, how ever partial or inefficient those organiza tions ma}* hore'been for the want o!'time unity, diligence and vigorous action. Thei iet us bo admonished?ye men of Spar tan burg, of South Carolina?hy all thc love-we bear fer our country, our homos our families, our honor, and our freedom to redouble our labor and all our ?nergie.1: in tho continuance and enlargement ol existing Clubs, and the formation anil establishment of others in every part, ol the State. Nay, if there bc button right? eous in any neighborhood, let them unite and torin a Club, thus perpetuating and spreading far and wide, our principles ol a free and constitutional government. Without this organization, we would have been as chaff before tho systematic .'ind crafty designs of our enemies. We ou^ht to have organized sooner, but as wo did not, and having only a few days in which to rally the (rue men of the country, wc have ?lone wonderfully well, having de? feated one of tho best systems of partisan policy rliat has ever been had in the South, or perhaps anywhere else. Thc Abbeville Press, not discouraged by an overwhelming defeat in that Dis. trict, thus forcibly urges the people to or? ganize : We are glad lo sec that our citizens in various parts of the District .ire fully nih c to the necessity of forming local Demo? cratic clubs, and are exhibiting the same spirit and activity which has been mani? fested in other parts of the State. What though we have been defeated tit ibo re? cent election, this result has been brought about in a measure hy thc want of this very organization which we so earnestly enjoin upon our fellow-citizens. What wo want is unity of purpose and concert of action. We aro tho advance guard of ?'the grand army" of tho Democracy? fighting indeed for the present as a for? lorn hope, but contributing our aid and ready to share thc triumphs which prom? ise to reward the struggles of thc Demo? cratic party. That party is fighting a great battle in behalf of constitutional lib? erty, and is seeking to save the country from tho lawless despotism which threat? ens to overthrow the government. The great issues which it presents to the coun? try are 1st, a restoration of this broken and di>t:,actcd Union on the basis of am? nesty for tho past and justice for the future, .'md 2d, the supremacy of the white man. The recent elections in the North and West, in Ohio, Connecticut and Michigan, show the widespread an? tipathy to negro rule. Opposition to ne? gro supremacy, and Radical usurpation, and an early restoration of the Union, aro thc watchword ol'the parly, and upon these paramount issues, they promise to carry thc next election?. Lot us organize and make our whole strength available; be '-serviceable to our friends and a lit tlo dangerous lo our enemies." Let us extend our sympathy, patronage and sup? port to those colored people of the Dis? trict, who "among the faithless faithful only,'' recognized the claims of tho while race, at thc recent elections. The Yorkville Enquirer says : This election has demonstrated tho im? portance of a thorough organization ol' thc Conservative voters, before effective results can bc attained, it has further demonstrated thc fact, that with such an organization, it is an easy matter for the intelligent while race to control such elec? tions in the future. Why, then, aie wc so long asleep ? A distasteful and obnoxious government has, without thc consent ol a decent man in South Carolina, been manufactured for us, and is now about to bo put in opera? tion. We must live under it. for a lime, or quit, tho State. Where will we go and how? The majority of our people arc compelled to remain here, and share the evil fortunes of tho old commonwealth. Recognizing, then, that such must be our course, let it* unite in one wort liv effort lo make tho best of our hard fortunes? shane, as far as practicable, lor good, tho j evil elements that encumber us?and to I secure all tho good we can, out of the I present. ? To carry out these objects effectively, we shuuld call the colored pcoplo togeth? er, and endeavor to disabuse their minus ol the idea that there is enmity or oppo? sition of interests between their race and ours. We have witnessed much good re? sult from such efforts already. We should break up thoso Beeret organizations known art Union Leagues. How? By discountenancing and refusing to employ, or in any way patronize those who are members of these secret and dangerous j associations. Tiie monicd power of the country can thus bo made to exert its proper influ? ence. The most powerful weapon of radicalism in the country, is to be found in these League associations. Onco break them np, and release the colored people from the blind fanaticism that wily office seekers have instilled into them through their agency, and there is a hope that these newly made voters can be induced to listen to the counsels of thoso who are in reality their true friends. The Marion Crescent says: The result of the election was a radical majority of 13 votes. How fairly obtained, may be judged, wiien it is known that some managers were r.ot sworn; and that in one box at least there were five more voles than names on the books. Many of the gentlemen of this District did their duty nobly. If all had voted who were entitled to this privilege the result would have been different entirely. Many registered whites never went to the polls. This is much to be regretted. The ignorant negro will be led to believe that his race is in the majority; simply because he has no idea of numbers. The tools of radicalism know the material they have to work upon, and rejoice at its stupidity and pliability. A few white men have affiliated with the negro; but the majority of what the radical orators call the poor white clement, and which they regard as no better than the poor negro, voted for the conservative ticket. The men who withheld their votes are the cause of this radical success. Let up push on our conservative organiza? tion; watch the spies who would mingle with us; and be ready for "whatever fate betides us." This is a conservative Dis? trict, and properly canvassed we arc all right. Let us push on vigorously. The Ku Klux Klan?What is It ? The New York Herald professes to have received the annexed circular from an of? ficial source. Whether it be a genuine document or not, is a matter of question, but it is at least interesting: Union Cemetkuv, Soi tuehn Statics, ) Aprilis the 7th, 18CS. ) To the Editor of the Herald: ]>y command of the Grand Cyclops of the secret order known to the outside world as the Ku Klux Klan, 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 statement for the reason of its well known metropolitan circulation. It is a well known axiom that men pre? fer misrepresentation and slanderous criti? cism to truth and charity. It is equally well known that there exists at this tune j in the United States two (if not more) j gigantic secret political organizations sus- \ taiued by Congressional legislation, to wit: "The Grand Army of t he Republic," a sc- i cret oath bound military order, and the j '?Loyal League,'' which is composed in the j Southern Slates almost exclusively of lie- i groes and Radical emissaries from the North. The grand objects of these secret Radical societies is to keep in subjection the Democratic party-"of the North, and to Africanize the South, and thereby, act? ing in concert with Congresional legisla? tion, perpetuate the rule of the Radical party and change the American Govern? ment from, a free republic to a mot grcl despotism. The army and navy cf the United States, under the control of a Rad? ical Congress, have been and are beiiiff used to destroy the liberties of a once free1 people, and to uphold and sustain with their mighty power the insidious and dev? ilish purposes of the secret organizations of the "Grand A;my of the Kcpubl'c" and the "Royal League." Therefore it is by no means wonderful that these secret societies should raise the cry of a "new rebellion," "rebel," "Southern traitor," "assassin," Jca. Let the enemies of free government and the advocates of negro equality and negro domination beware 1 W hite men, and while men .alone, are the comprehensive exponents of constitutional liberty, must and will exclusively rule and govern the American republic. ."Michigan and Connecticut but re-echo the senti? ment. What, then, of the Ku Klux Klan ? Is it a myth or stern reality? We answer that it is a great and unconquerable or? ganization. It is not confined exclusively to any Slate or Territory of the American Union, but has strength and form wher? ever the Hag of the American Republic is recognized as the emblem of constitutional liberty. In some localities the organiza? tion is much more powerful than in others. It is stronger in Kentucky than in any oth? er 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 member? ship. Confederate and Federal soldiers, Confederate ami Federal sailors alike vie in the objects ami purposes of the organi? zation. There is not a leading daily news? paper throughout the entire country that lias not their Ku Klux. Therefore, the Ku Klux Klan is neither sectional or par tisan, but eminently Conservative and national in its organization and purposes. White citizens ot the United States can only become members of the Ku Klux Klan, Radicals, Infidels and negroes can not become members of the Ku Klux Klan; for the meaning of the term is a Circle of Friends, the object of which is the perpe? tuity ol constitutional liberty. The organization of the Ku Klux Klan originated from a necessity?the result of Radical legislation and the formation ol the secret political orders of the "Royal League" and the "Grand Army of the j Republic," consequently the Ku Klux j Klan is the effect of Radical despotism j and injustice. The Ku Klux Klan was' first organized in Giles county, Ten.?., \ August, 1800,and was an absolutely neces? sity, resulting from the tytranny, doniina-! tio& and aggression of the Brownlow j Legislature. The passage of the Sherman Shcllabarger Bills and supplements in the spring of 1S67 gave the organization a new impetus throughout the South. The increase of the organization in the North? ern and Western States, and especially in the Pacific States, from the 1st November, 1 S?7, to the 1st of April, 1SG8, has been beyond the expectations of its most ardent friends. The organization at this time numbers over seven hundred thousand members, with as rapid additions as the public security may require. The Know Nothing party was defeated and utterly destroyed by the National Democratic Party, "without recourse lo a counter Beeret 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 govern? ment and wielded its mighty powers.? They possess it to-day, but only in name; not in reality. Let the tyrants of a mon? grel and infamously corrupt party beware! Your party is but a ?hell. The castle ot radicalism has been permeated and under? mined by the white ant of the Ku Klux. The Ku Klux Klan is, therefore, a secret political organization, the result of neces? sity, the sole object of which is to thwart Radicalism, arrest negro domination in the South, nejjro equality in the North, per? petuate the Federal Union and preserve the Constitution as the fathers made it. And who ever asserts to the contrary ut? ters falsehood. That the Ku Klux Klan have secrets unknown to the uninitiated is not denied ; so have the ancient orders ol 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 for the first time officially pro? mulgated. The incicdulous and guilty may carp and misrepresent; but the wick? ed, the ungodly and the perjured will soon feel the keen edge of the sickle and the invisible boring of the white ant. Let the coffin be closed*. GABKIEL, G. G. T. & V. From theXen- York Times, Republican. A Disgraceful Spectacle. If anybody thinks that Mr. Butler's badgering of the old soldier, Gen. Thomas, while giving his testimony before the Se? nate on Saturday, was a fine thing, it would be foolish for us to quarrel with his taste. If the Senate consider it proper to permit such vulgar and insulting pro? ceeding to be carried on in its presence, it would be of little avail for us to find fault with it. If it bo supposed that such a Stylo of management will forward the cause of justice, will aid in eliciting the truth, will enable the Court or the public to form a judgment on the merits of the case, then we must revise our idea of the human reason. If it he supposed that it will he cause of admiration to the world til large, or of pride to tho generations of Americans who will read of this trial when the actors in it have nil passoed away, we think it is a dreadful error. And let us say in passing that it must not bo forgotten by the Seriate of the country that the impeachment trial will be recon? sidered and reviewed in the court of his? torical appeal, and a judgment rendered upon it without passion or prejudice, or party feeling or personal hate. All Butler's browbeating and badgering of Thomas did not, aller ail, succeed in making him contradict himself upon a single point of any consequence. In fact he did not in any other than a pettifog? ging sense, cotitradi? I himself at all, or in iheicast. As an example of the way in which General Butler attempted to fasten upon him a charge of perjury, take the circumstance about the President's direc? tion to Thomas to take charge of the War Office. On Friday Thomas had testified that tho President ordered him to "take possession" of the office; on Saturday, after having examined tho words of the order, he desired to correct the previous day's testimony by saying that the direc? tion was to -lake charge'' of the office. Upon this Butler cross-examined him in the following fashion : (}. How many times did you answer yesterday that tho President told you at that time "to take possession" of the office? A. Well. I have not reatl over my testimony, but I do not know how many times. Q." Was that untrue each time? A. If I said so it was; take "charge" was the word used. Q. Have you any memorandum by which you can correct that expression ? If so produce it. A. I have no memo? randum with me here; I don't know that 1 have any. (}. Have you looked at one since you were on the stand? A. I have not. How can you state better to-day than you did yesterday ? A. Because I saw and read that order as reported. Vou gave it yesterday yourself? A. I did. Q. And you know better what it was by reading it than when you testified lo it? A. Yes, sir. Q. And you are sure tho words were '?charge ot ?" A. "Take charge of," Q. And tho three times when you re? ported to him that Stanton would not go out?refused to go out?each time he said ??charge of [he office V A. He did. (,). Was your attention, al the lime he said that, called to the diHerencc between the words ?'take charge of the office," and '?lake possession of it?" A. .My attention was not called to it. (L?. How then do you recollect so dis? tinctly now? A. Because I know that was the expression. Q. Yon have always known that was the expression ? A. Yes. sir. Q. How, then, did you come to make that mistake? A. 1 think the words were put into my mouth. (,). "Put into my mouth" just as Mr. I Karsener did ? [Laughter.] A. Yes,sir. (}. Are you in the habit when anybody j puts words in your mouth ol taking them ? j A. I don't know that I am always in the , habit of it. This is a specimen of the way in which j General Butler succeeded in making Gen. Thomas "contradict" himself, and it was! points like this, or worse than this, that the Senate permitted him to go on with < for tho greater part of tho day. Those who think that either these or the inso? lence that Butler has so frequently ex hibited are. features worthy of such a trial, must bo gratified at tho turn affairs are taking. ' We were somewhat surprised at the Senate's repeated overruling ot the de? cisions of the Chief Justice on Saturday, as to tho admissibility of tho evidence of General Sherman. On introducing it Mr. Stanbery said it was essential to the con? duct of tho defence that this testimony should be admitted, and the pertinacity with which he carried on his attempts to get it in showed the great weight that was put upon it. When tiie prosecution offered their evidence the Senate gave them the greatest latitude, overruling the decisions of the Chief Justice haifa dozen times, and always in favor of admitting the testimony. But Butler fought against Sherman's testimony as pertinaciously as the counsel for it, and on several occa? sions he used language so offensive that Mr. Stanbery was compelled to protest. The volo of the Senate, however, on th i? question was very close, and we hopo that upon the matter being protested to-day, thoy will conclude to treat the defence fairly hy permitting General Sherman to present his evidence. In practically giving the control of the case for the prosecution to Mr Butler, the House managers have indicated the me? thod in which the}- desire the trial to be conducted. They think tho best way to be that which is practiced by the "shys? ters" of our low criminal courts. By twisting evidence, badgering witnesses, quibbing over petty points, abusing the Opposing counsel, and resorling lo ail thc mean tricks of thc pettifogger, it is thought thai their side of the ease can hot bc served, and the Se?alo most easily be af? fected; Il was as an adept in these prac? tices that Mr. Butler first distinguisher himself in the criminal courts of Massa? chusetts j and now that in this great case he has the opportunity of displaying his powers unchecked before the Ser?ale, il appears that time has only intensified thc characteristics of hid earner years. Wc suppose that in permitting him lo manage the prosecution as he lias thus far man? aged il. his colleagues have concluded that his style would prove most effective. ?u?? that il afforded the best means for secur? ing the verdict which they desire. Per? haps they are right. We will not attempt to dispute the point. , --'. Wc know that they-Julist have conclu? sive reasons lor their course. Wn arc sure that there are among them members who could put matters on a different level. There are men who need not fear a con? test on higher grounds with even such au array of legal talent jas constitutes the counsel for the defence. Wilson, of Iowa, for example, is probably the most compre hensive-and powerful mind on the side of the prosecution ; hut he seems to take no part in in ils control. Bingham, who is an able man. has displayed himself very lillie; and Boutwell. who is honest and earnest, bas not yet been heard of. We confess we should like to have seen the case conducted differently. Perhaps it would have bren all tho worse for thc President. Perhaps it would have been better for him. But whether belter or worse, wo are sure it would have been more creditable to the Senate, more credi? table to lhe country, more creditable to thc cause of justice, and more worthy ot tin1 admiration nf mankind, hore and every? where, now and hereafter. Another Little Story. Wc have published qiii'e a ?umher of little stories pertaining lo the public in genet al, and the craft in particular, yet still have another left, which is as follows: THE TWO M KUI MA NTS. J. When trade grew slack and notes fe!! due, the merchant'* face grew long and blue; his dreams were troubled through the n iii ht. with sherill's' bailiffs all in sight. At last Ins wile milo him said: Kise upai once, get out id'bcd, and get your paper, ink and pen, and say these words unto all men : My goods I wish to sell to you, and to your wives and daughters too; my prices i hey shall he so low, that each will buy before they go. Me did as his good wife advised, and in the papers advertised. Crowds came and bought ol'all he had; his notes were paid, his dreams made glad; and he will tell tn you this day, how well did printer's ink repay. Jiu told us this with knowing wink, how he was saved by printer's ink. II. Tho other in a place as tight, contented was the press to slight ; and did not let the people know, of what he did or where? to ero. His drafts fell due and were not paid, and a levy on his goods was made ; the store was closed until the sale, and for some time he was in jail. A bankrupt now without a cent, at leisure he can deep repent, that he was foolish and unwise, ami did mit freely advertise. If you think the moral of this story wisc, von should not neglect to advertise. ? Why are (dd maids and doubtful propositions aiike?
