The *. G. C.'s--Thcir Objects Etc.
George Buckley, ''k. G. G., President American
| Legion" has addressed, through the Louisville
! Courier of Thursday, open letter to the Ken
tuckV Legislature, In response to the resolutions
| passed by that body appointing a committee to in
qulre into the existence in that State and the plans
and purposes, of the secret organization known as
| Knights o. the Golden Circle.
Knight Buckley declares that the Legislature had
instituted legal crusade gains the 'Tinsttut
of which he was the head, but that in order to
avoid time, trouble and expense to the State, he
had forwarded to the Governor a complete set f
the degree works of the Order, retaining only the
uhwrItten portion OF the same. The thong h tful
Buckley then embodies in his open letter '.for the
information OF the people, the obligations of the
first and second degrees.
1t appears from these that candidates for Knight
mood swear "before God and these witnesses" al
leglance to the Golden Circle and its laws; and to
'the laws OF the United States and of this State
provided the same are consistent with the spirit and
letter OF the Constitution as interpreted bv the
Supreme Court" They also swear upon their in
dlvldual honors Gas and a gentleman 50

of any negro, abolitionist, confirmed dr1nkard

membership"
For the special "further information' of Mr..
Wolfe, who moved the resolution in the House,
knight Buckley adds ''that the X G. G. have
been the subject of higher legislation than the Lee
gislature Of Kentucky, and that they have been
defended by abler men than himself"
The object of the organization is, "wth all defer
ence," thus confidently summed up by President
Buckley:
"rhere nearly eight thousand in the
State distributed through every county, and the
organization is growing daily in favor and import
ance and the work will be pushed with the utmost
vlgor until the tricolored flag of the Confederate
States floats in triumph FROM the dome of the Cap
lt"i at Frankfort. and if, perchance, Kentucky
should be tied to Northern COnfederacv cursed
and bhghted with the fanaticism OF Aboitionisn
the organization will invite and carry from the
State ten thousand families of Kenuckys hest citi
Zfns, and plant them on the broad and fertile prai
rIes OF the noble State of Texas, where the K G
g., in that State, will meet them with open arms
and warm hearts, and welcome them to Stat,

Inc p0hcy OF noticing the arrival and departure
OF southern troops to or from this point, being

No More Mails to the Free States.

required in the production of a single gun of such
caIlbre will doubtless prevent their manufacture tc
