They wore pre? sented and read in Congress n few days ago, and were snbjeots of the discussion between Messrs. Blair, Edmunds, und others, a synopsis of which was fur? nished through our telegraphic columns: Mr. Robertson-Some time sinoo, on tho Otb of February last, pending tho discussion of the amnesty bill, un as? sault was mudo on tho character of three citizens of South Carolina. Not long afterward, I received a communication from them, whioh I desire to have put upon the records, und I ask tu have it read. Tho Chief Clerk rend as follows: WASHINGTON, February 19, 1872. GENTLEMEN: lu tho report of tho do? nato in tho Somite on tho amnesty bill, wo obsorvo with surprise and indigna? tion that wo have been charged directly and indirectly with being connected with tho Ku Klux organization iu South Carolina. It bas been declarad on the floor of tho Seiiuto, that there is now iu tho pos? session of tho Executive Department of the Government of tho United States evidence which shows that wo are at this moment, or woro a month ugo, thc ad? visory board of the Ku Klux Klan. Theso are gravo charges, emanating, us they do, from a Senator of tho United States, and promulgntod, ns they were, before tho highest legislative tribunal of tho countrj'. Apprehending that our silence un tho subject, which so nearly touches our honor and reputation, may bo construed into au admission of guilt, we huve repaired to the capital to meet these charges, and seek through you, tho representatives of South Carolina in tho Seunto, our vindication from these degrading imputations, by the presenta? tion, in some proper way, of this com muuicatiou bet?re the same tribunal in which they were announced. Any charge that we, or either of us, have at any timo uided, abetted, coun? selled, countenanced or apprgved the Ku Klux or any unlawful association in South Carolina, in any violation of law or the rights of citizens of any class, is utterly and entirely false, whatever be tho evidence on which tho samo is based. If tho Executive Department has in itt possession, as is alleged, the evidence ol our complicity with these offences, wt can only say that wo hold overaelves iu readiness, at all times", to establish om innocence boforo the proper legal tribu nal and tho enlightened public opiniou of tho couutry. Very respectfully, youl obedieut servan ts, WADE HAMPTON, J. B. KERSHAW, M. C. BUTLER. To Hon. T. J. Robertson and Hon. F A. Sawyer, United States Senate. Mr. Robertson-Mr. Presidout, thii lotter has been in my hands for Nomi time, bnt on accouut of indisposition and on account of other matters interfer ing, I have not presented it at an earlie period. I had hoped to bring up th amnesty hill, on whioh matters pertain ing to my State would como up, aud '. would have the letter read at thut time I kuow these gentlemen, as I said before und I think them incapable of being en gaged in any way us members of the Ki Klux Klan. I merely wish tho lette read to put them on tho record as the desire to be pnt. Mr. Blair-lu connection with th letter which has just been read, and th statement mado by tho Senator froi South Carolina, I desire to say to th Senato that npon tho samo occasion wu9 announced hero in tho debuto whic occurred then, that Hon. Roverdy Jobi son and Mr. Stunbery, who wero contisi for the prisouers charged with being K Klux in South Carolina, hud abandone their case; that they were BO disguste with tho atrocities proven that they hu abandoned tho caso. I have in my hat a letter from Mr. Johnson, which I d sire in this connection to have road. The Chief Clerk road as follows: BAIJTIMOKE, February 19, 1872. MY DEAU GEN* Eli An : Your lotter of tl lSth instant ha? just reached mo. given mo the first information I have lu that Hon. Mr. Edmunds, of Vernier: made tho statement in thc Senate whi< you tpiotc us reported in tho Globe, tho 10th instant. It is utterly unfouud> und untrue. Neither my colleague, M Stunbery, nor myself, abandoned thought of abandoning tho cases which the Senator reforred for tho rc sous assigned by him or for any otb reasons. So far from having dono c we remained in Columbia, taking part tho trials, until wo had accomplished i that wo had hoped for or endeavored accomplish, which was to get thc cons tutional questions arising under tho At of 1870 '71 before tho Supreme Court tho United States. This wo did, aud t questions aro to bo argued in that tril nal on the 18th of March next. Sinco tho receipt of your letter havo understood that in tho debate which you refer, the samo Senator a others rando imputations against y and Generals Kershaw and Butler. Tin certainly was no proof givon or pr fcrod, whilo I was in Columbia, whi implicated either of you; and ulthoug saw thero persons of every political o nion, and conversed freely with thom never heard tho least intimation tl eithor of you had any connection wh ever with tho Ku Klux organization. From my knowledge of Mr. Edmun I am satisfied ho has received his inf mation from a source which ho thou; ho might co ii fulo in; but, whatever may bavo been, ho was greedy deceiv and induced to make charges which utterly untrue. I romain, with mt regard, your obodicut servant, REVERDY JOHNSON Major-Gcnoral Wado Hampton. During tho personal explanati which followed tho reading of these tors, Senator Edmuuds said: As to Kershaw, I did not Ht ato that appeared on these trials; that Kersl or any of these people were connected with tho klan. Kershaw was not on trial, neither was Butler. What I 6 tnt ed was that the jndioial officers of the United States in that distriot had, as I was credibly informed, in their posses? sion the evidence which would go to convict these persons of being, I be? lieve, the advisory board of this klan, whatever that may be. That was what I stated; and if it is necessary, I repeat that I am thus credibly informed. And when the United States will furnish that curse-ridden people with thc judicial means of carrying on those trials, with force enough, with judges and marshals, and the other appliances of justice to go through with tho trials, I havo very good reason to believe that evidence of that kind will bo produced. ******* I do not undertake to say that that evidence upon trial would turn out to be sufficient to couvict them, or would not turn out to bo pnrjured; I only say, in discussing n public question that hud re? lation to that subject, that wo onght to bo careful how we took stops when wo had such information. Th.it is all. I hopo as much as tho Senator that theso people when they are tried will bo found lo be entirely innocent, but I do not undertake to pronouueo any opinion, and I havo not undertaken to pronounce any opiniou either upen their gnilt or iuuoccuce. Nothing would make me moro happy than to Hud them perfectly innocent. Senator ItuberUon, of South Caro? lina, had tho lust word, lie said: I said nt thu time these gentlemen wero assailed, that, in my opinion, they wero inunccut; that they were geul lemou of character, and position, and educa? tion. 1 still think so. In n personal con vet cation with myself, they told mo that they held themselves in readiness to answer to the laws of their country, and it is very hard that they should be assailed for an act which they them? selves claim to disdain. I repeat my as? sertion, that I think the}' are entitled at lea?t to bo deemed innocent until they aro proved guilty by tho laws of the country. Gas-Light Bills for Month of March.
