A POWERFUL LETTER.
A CHARLESTON CLERGYMAN ON THE
KU-KLUX CASES.
Views of Kev. Dr. E. T. Wlnk!cr.
We find In last Thursday's issue of the New
York Examiner and Chronicle tho following
strong lei ter from the Rev. Dr. E. T. Winkler.
of this city: .
To tte Editor of tlte'Examiner and Chronicle
Mr DEAR BROTHER-The admission of the
reporters, the lawyer?, the Judges, the whol
community, that iu the Ku-Klux cases, now
on trial in South Carolina, tbe lowest class
ot our population furnishes the informers,
ought to awaken grave doubts in regard to
the truth of the etiarges now urged against
the most respectable, wealthy and influential
citizens of the State. The people who have
made these astounding revelation in regard
to the social state of the up-cou^'ry, are
, rami.larlv known as "Crackers." "Clay-eaters"
4 and uatives o? "Dark Corners." Most of them
can neither read nor write. Many of their
are the offspring of illicit connections. Some
of them affirm that they have been led to ex?
pect better remuneration In their present Hue
of business than they ever had before-com?
fortable lodgings iu the jail, and three dollars
a day during Ahe time of their incarceration
Now. just suppose that such an inducement
had been offered to the ci: ?zens of Five Point?,
to testily against the mest respectable citizens
of New York; suppose that the informers hud
been backed oy the ward politicians, and the
wealth nid power of the National Govern?
ment, and then Judge for yourself what, alter
all, may be th?' real condition ol' South Caro?
lina !
COIME ASD CORRCPTION".
I am not In sympathy with the Ku-Klux
Klan. I do not know any of its member.-;
there are none In the section o? tho State
where I reside. Yet I must confess that I
have long felt the need of some sort ol legisla?
tion, ana some justice, such as we have not
had in our Slate for many years. Just look at
"the situation." The uo-t citizens of the
State are constantly despoiled. Their coi tou
ls plundered at night, and Bold lu the seed to
"corner shops." Their stock ls butchered in
the woods. Their property is assessed above
ils market value, and is sometimes taxed be?
yond what lt produces, or would seil for.
Many persons nave evaded taxation by offer?
ing their plum anons to the tax-gatherer ! ?This
has been frequently doue In Bai nweil County.
And crime goes unpunished, lt is not easy io
arrest a criminal; lt ls harder to keep him iu
jail; harder still to secure his convict iou.
and impossible to keep the Governor
irom pardouing him. A voter is rare?
ly allowed to nerve ont his limo In the
penitentiary. It matters not what he has
done-whether he bas broken into a house or
burnt lt down-whether he has committed a
-f rape or a murder-in any event his righi to
vote at the next elco ion must be secured by
the exercise of Executive clemency. Nay
more-as all Wall street knows by this time -
our State ls largely under tho control of criini
nuls. Many ot our highest offices are Ailed by
men once ol'broken fortunes aud broken char?
acters, but now invested with authority,
clothed In purple and fine linen, and faring
sumptuously every day. Our Governor is a
seedy doctor from Ohio-now become a mill?
ionaire. Our leading lobb) ist is a iockey-rider
from Jerome Park. The leader of the Senate
ls a convicted bi ibe-taker. The leader of the
House ls a pardoned bigamist. On my way to
the late St. Louis Convention T, with other
delegates, saw a Judge of the Slate embracing
a prostitute in the public car?, aud near him
was a legislator engaged in like obscene and
shameless dalliance. We were all thankful
when these wretched creatures left the car?,
with their women, at Granilevilie. During the
last year our corrupt Siale Government has
robbed an impoverished people of more tban
$22,000 per day; and the estimate tnu.-t be to >
low, for it ls founded ou Governor Scott's mes
sage to the Legislature.
HEAR BOTH SIDES.
You will, I hope, pardon me for suggesting
that such a state of society requires s ame re?
lief quite different from thal afforded by the
penal laws of Congress. When a vigilance
committee has Inflicted summary Justice, the
cmwt ought to consider the whole case. It
snould number not only the scars, but the
crimes ot the victim. It should be Invested
with a certain snpre ne power. It should be
armed with states' .aushlp. In a state of
society where then is no law, aud where men
must iorm tempo ary organizations lor the
redress of iii to. e* abie grievance?, and the
maintenance of social order. Justice Itself la
perverted by an att lek upon these organiza?
tions. Here, for example, ls "John Doe,"
as* whose daughter has been ruined by "Richard
Roe;" who.-e crop 1 as been stolen or pur?
chased in the seed by "Richard Roe;" whose
glnbouae has been burned down with the
whole crop of the yt ar by "Richard Roe;1
whose life has been ambuscaded by "Richard
Roe;" but who has at 'ast turned upon his
enemy, as even a worm will turn against a
crushing loot, and who I as scourged his op
Kressor with forty lashes save ?ne. Does lt
ecome a great govern neut, in such an in?
stance, to chastise "John Doe," who looked to
it in vain for protection and to let "Richard
Roe" go free ? Yet this is precisely what the
United Stales Government are now doing in
South Carolina ! The i atlonal officials are
hunting down and impr sonlng me best ell
zens of the northern connies at thc instance
of malelactors aud "sand-ailiers," whose lives
defy the law, and who wot ld not be believed,
on their oaths, In any other case.
We, who have had no correction with Ku
Kluxism, look with wonder and consternation
upon a sharp dragonoade, such as once deci
mated France for the eui kliment of South
Carolina, and ls now wasting South Carolina
fur the enrichment of neighboring and even
foreign States; We encounter among the Uni
ted states soldiers scarred, triumphant vete?
rans of war, who feel as keenly as we do that
they have now been usslgued to service pain
Ail and degrading-now, when the clash of
arms has ceased, and they feel their hearts
melting with fraternity. They are required to
deal with an association of neighbors, who are
pledged to mutual protection against the burn?
ers of their houses and the plunderers of their
crops, as If these were n armed and foreign
foe. These soldiers, UL 1er whatever pretext
sent, do actually drive from fields ripe for the
harvest young and old, piauler aud laborer; do
suspend the industries of whole counties; and
do immure the proprietors of the soil un i the
taxpayers of the country in crowded and filthy
jails. In a time of profound peace, they are
called upon to deprive free citizens of the im
munilies of the common law; and in regions
all astir with barbarous ferocity and licentious?
ness, tiiey are compelled to tear away from
helpless wives and virgins their natural pro?
tectors.
WHO ARE THE VICTIMS.
A few days ago, I had an interview with one
of the most eminent citizens of Sparlunburg.
He told me that his sons had fled the county
because an order lor their apprehension had
been Issued. Just before they went, he asked
them "whether they indeed belonged to the
Ku-Klux Klan, or any other secret organiza?
tion ?" They replied that they had been in?
formed, some time before, that the negroes of
the county intended to rise against the whites.
[The apprehension, I may remark, was ex?
cited iu the up-country by the fact that the
Governor had been organizing and arming
the negroes, while he refused to arm any com
\ mles composed ol' white men.] Tne youths
further sala that they hod then Joined an asso?
ciation ol mutual defence. Among other ap?
plicants, they bad received Into their member?
ship many "poor whites," who had now, by
some mean?, been led to denounce them.
And so, although they themselves had done
nothing agalusi the peace of the country, or
the laws ot the State, they were compelled to
flee, in order to escape Incarceration. In
short, these worthy young men were driven
out of the State, Just because they had pledged
themselves to fight, if the negroes should un?
dertake to burn the houses, kill the men and
ravish the women of rfpartanburg. Rev. Dr
William Curtis Informs me that this unhappy
county bas been decimated.
In Richland, Mr. John Scott, darum et ven??
ratele nomen! guards his mules and hogs
within a stockade fence at least tifieen feet
high, and overlooked by a window where iwo
double-barrelled guns are always leaning. He
told me that he was the only planter on the
fork (a settlement of wealthy and cultivated
persons, below Columbia) who had been able
io preserve bis slock, and this he had done by
the aid of his palisades and by the mainte?
nance of ceaseless vigilance. For weeks he
and his son-in-law had been obliged tc
alternate watch every night.
HOW IT IS TN CHARLESTON.
Let such facts HIiiBtrte ihe chaotic st
society, out of vnich Ku-Kluxism sprin
might udd corroborative notes from a cit
tors experiences. I have burled a peac
young man who had been beaten lo dee
a mob organized for the purpose ol "ck
the whites ont of the streets of CharleBto
have seen our citizens, black and white, j
armed lo the polls, that they might i
prevented from casting their ballots foi
n iel pal o Ulcers; and ?he bayoneta of
United Slates army invoked and array
guard the sacred right ol Buffrage. I
seen a tremendous rabble traversing
streets, wiih Haring torches and barbi
yells aud execrations, and as they went b
ing windows, plundering shops and BK
by-8iauderf>, along their Tine of march. I
seen an official of the Slate discharge a
seven shots at a press reporter; an . alth
the crime was committed Just by the Gi
house, the criminal was not arrested anti
revolver was empty, nor bas he up tc
moment been dismissed from the o (lice of
lug offenders against the laws of the &
But let me add, that I have never seei
white people interfere with a negro a
ballot-box, or endeavor to forbid or tram
in any way, his lawml right to vote. On
conirury, it ls a well-established fact, un
?ally conceded, thai the negroes have li
.iered with 6uch of Iheir own race as wen
iu favor of our oppressors. Some they
away bv menaces, and some ihey drove a
by violence from ina polls. Never, until
late city election, were the blacks of Cha
ton at liberty tb vote as ihey pleased-a pi
lege then, tor the first Hine, secured to ti
by the presence of United States soldiers, '
luid been summoned there at the reque
the white citizens.
THE ATTITUDE OF TUE GOVERNMENT.
I give you these particulars for what (
are worth. I do not pretend lo say that ll
mav not have been outrages on tho other s
which have not come to my knowledge;
whon men's blood ls up, they are prone to
ceedthe bounds of wisdom and justice,
it does seem to me that a great governmi
possessed of unresisted and uoquestlo
l> J Wt r, ought not to lake one side-and I
Hie part ot tue aggressor-In a case like t
Nay, more, I cannot but express my ami
ment thal the use of the United Stales lon
marshals und courts, by the notoriously i
rupt officials of the State Government; l
the extension of the ligors of martial
solely to the counties opposed to their
ministration; that midnight intrusions I
chambers inhabited by trembling worn
and Sabbath investments of churches
common custom in Spartanburg; that c
lures of youths scarce in their teens, i
of old men tar advanced Into decrepitu
tis midnight marauder*; that the despair

ministers-their best and purest men, sw
Imo jails upon Hie most preposterous chars
an.i these urged by lue most venal and
praved nf the people-I am amazed, I s
mat all this should not awaken the griefs
indignation of every generous heart of l
Norm. Oil ye that dwell in celled houses
it nothing io you that our homes are deso?a
that criminals make laws for your brethi
here; that character, culture and piety i
suffering here; that one of the old, namoi
"Thii teen," emblazoned upon your stai
il f. is sucked io death by vampyrsB ! Sur
this ought not to be, la a land of liberty a
justice, under the ogis ofthat irrem Repub
with whose fortunes the Providence of G
has linked us heretofore, and henceforth a
forever !
Iftt be urged that roany ol these prison?
syniptthlzcu with the Kl in, and some of th.
confessedly belonged io it, I reply, that BU
a sp?cification ought only to increase t
donuts and misgi vlugs of ail thoughtful mi
For they know very well that character it
properly ar?< conservai ive; no slight can
would lead these veiled interests to favor ai
movement inclining to anarchy.
VIGILANCE COMMITTEES.
Thc persons wno are now In bonds are n
conspirators against the National Govei
mein; on the contrary, they have alwaj
heretofore, welcomed tue Uaiied Slates soi
1er as the conservator ol the public ordc
Nor are they organized to prevent the color
citizen from exercising his political franchie
on the contrary, bis political equality is co
ceded, and they have even offered to dlvli
wiih him tho offices ol the Stine. But tin
contend that, under the present system <
misrule and lawlessness, "??fe, liberty and tl
pursuit of happiness'' were left-Incertain par
of the couotry without any protection; ac
that Hie communities thus imperilled wei
thrown back upon the inalienable light
self-protection.
The facts, which they appeal to, are notoi
ous. Nobody can deuy mat their cattle au
hogs were shot down in the fields; that the
opening notion bolls were picked by night:
depredators; that their gin-houses wer
burned; that the "corner shops," where co
ion in Ui.< seed (stolen cotton) was bough
grew rich, while the heavily taxed and plum
ered planter scarcely knew where to get h
bread; (I know one ol this class *hoexpende
ten thousand lullars on lils plantation, and t
the end of the season harvested Just titre
bales of cotton, und just cora enough to fee
his horses lor half a year;) i li it laborers wer
ildamen by incendiary speeches, and wer
also encouraged to break their contracts; th*
colored men were armed by the Govurne
in larger and larger numbers, until ti
length iney undertook to raid certain parts o
the State; ibat Hie public debt was increasing
until m length ii has been increased by $8,500,
OOO in a single year; ibu lhere hos beeu u
money to repair the r? '.s, or even to pay th
meritorious teachers 01 the public schools
although enormous taxes had beeu collected
und tho public officials were revelling in HI
gotten riches; In short, lhat the good people o
luis State had found themselves well nigh en
gulfed la a whirling, bottomless vortex o
ruin. THO sufferers insist that, under these
circumstances, a vigilance committee-ant
such the Ku-Klux professed to be-had boei
the usual American resort, and that sympathj
with it was not wholly unnatural.
THE KLAN NOT JUSTIFIED.
Notwithstanding these powerful pleas, ]
must confess thal, for my part, I am opposed
to the Ku-Klux organization, and that foi
various reasons. lu the first, place, I do not
believe that a secret, oath-bound society ol
any sort corresponds to the spirit ol' our
American institutions. We have freedom ol
?peen?1 and freedom of the press. Ia this
country a Just cause can appear wit bout dis?
guise, and can make its direct appeal to pub?
lic opinion. In the long run, thal is enough.
In particular, I do not believe in vlgliauce
committees of any son. They may, al limes,
do good by the infliction of summary justice.
But they do even moro evil. For they
encourage the redress of wrongs by vio?
lence, and not by law; they give scope to
reckless men, who are apt to pervert them
to their own partisan aad revengeful uses;
and they tend lo depress the moral tone ot
communtly ia which their stern work is done.
But when I strive to apply my principles to
the CUM' before me, I am at a loss what to
conclude. Tho Ku-Klux of the northern
counties punished crimes which were subver?
sive of society,, and which, but lor their un?
dertaking Hie office, would bave remained un?
punished-would have passed, so to speak,
Scott Iree. Their vlciims ought to have beeu
punished-but, I think, In some other way.
And now Hie case stands t lins. Thuir prose?
cutor ls Governor Scott-a maa notorious for
his infidelity to lils word, to his official
oaths, and io tile financial and oilier public
trusts committed to his charge-a maa now
threatened with impeachment on these ac?
counts by a Republican Legislature-a man
who may not unjustly be called Hie first
crimina! in South Carolina. The Informers
against them are the very dregs of the com?
munities in which they live, and have beea
already rewarded for their testimony by re?
lease from imprisonment-as the President
naively admits iu his message. The captives
ure, many ot them, Incapable ol' committing
the crimes laid to their charge ! 8ome of
them ure boys; some decrepit old mon; and
noi a lew are among Hie most virtuous, law
abiding and God-fearing citizens we have ia
the whole country. Some ot them have been
arrested without any charce, some while min?
istering to poverty and sickness, many while
worshipping God in the sanctuary on the Sab
bath-dav. The circumstances are unutterably
distressing ?ind humiliating. The case ls with?
out ii precedent. I am confounded when I
see Vice grasping the fasces, and Virtue wear?
ing Hie chain. 1 do Dot see how any Chris?
tian, who knows the facts, can be true lo his
people, or his country, or his God, when lie
encourages these so-called Ku-Klux prosecu?
tions. E. T. W.
