me, through the columns of your paper,
to present the name of Col. Oscar Tur-
per, of Ballard l think if Col. Turner
will consent to make the race, he will
have little or 10 opposition. lie has
been hard worker in democratic ranks
ell his life, and has never thrust himself
forward for Office, unless at the call of
the people. OF his high order of ability,
aud peculiar fitness for the position in
these trying tire We are all quite
familiar. We think Paducah has had
all the Offices nearly long enough, and
though she has many able men, yet she
should not ask a monopoly OF offices,
while there are talented and worthy gen.

kU kLUX RAID INTO hENTUCKI -
We are informed that 4 squad number
ing 30 or 40, of Ku Klux Khan from
Tennessee, made raid into Kentucky at
apd in the neighborhood of State Line
Station, in this county, on Friday night
last. The appearance of the squad, it
is said, vouched for by the depot agent
at that place, who is recommended as a
reliable gentleman. The Khan were
dressed in loose gowns, with horrid
black cowl covering their faces. They
made no halt at the Station, passing
quietly and interrupting no one. The
negroes of the neighborhood are terribly
excited and alarmed, and gave various
aud some incredible stories of their
operations during the night. 1t is said
they went to the residence of Mr.. John
Shepherd, called for certain negro at
work on the farm, who hearing inquiry,
we suppose in that terribly hollow voice
peculiar to Ku- Kluxers, which it is said
sounds like an echo from an empty coffin,
attempted tomake his escape by running,
and was fred upon by one of the Khan.
The negro was permitted to make his
escape, and their action indicated that
they only intended to frighten him.
We have it, that at another place in
the neighborhood, where there was a
number of negroes cougregated, the
Khan made their appearance. Some of
them dismountcd and approached the
cabin where the negro meeting was in
progress. One of them opened the door,
and stood b-fore them in his -sheetea
robes. The negroes wilted; and death
like silence prevailed. In a moment
four stalwart Klansmen, masked and
robed, stood by his side. The leader,
raising his long bony finger meaningly,
said
Boys! the Ku-Klux would befriend
you'll Go to work; be prudent; be in
dustrious -
At this the four assistants stepped out
of the door, and the leader tapping him
self three times mysteriously upon the
breast, suddenly disappeared up the
chimney.
We shall not vouch for the existence
of the Khan, nor that the Khan did
actually appear, but our informer is a
truthful gentleman, and it is certain. that
the negroes aud some others in that
neighborhood give the above statements.

paper of the 18th inst, a notice of call
from citizens of Marshal county upon
Judge 10. NJ. Bigger, of Paducah, to
become candidate for Congress in this
District, at the approaching November
election. Believing that we reflect the
will of a majority of the Democrats of
Fulton county, We beg through your
paper to make known our endorsement
of that call, and TO add our opinion as to
the eminent fitness and qualifications of
Judge Bigger for the position. We
have for years observed his course in
the various public positions be-
slowed upon him by our people; and
some of US in other days were not his
political friends, and can bear testimony
to the capacity, earnestness, and faith
fitness, with which he has always dis
charged his duties. We believe that he
will reflect the political sentiment of our
people, and that his record as public
man entities him to the honor Trust
ing, Mr. Editor, whether Judge Bigger
be your choice or not, that you will give
publication to this call for the consid-
Grafton of the voters of this District, we
subscribe ourselves. respectfully,

TIE CHASE MOVEMENT.

The advocates Of the nomination Of

for the Presidency calculate on his chances
Of dividins the cOlOred vote in the South and
therefore regard him as peculiarly ''avail-
able" Neither ia Louisiana nor any other
Southern State is there the slightest rea-
son to believe that Mr.. Chase could com
mand any considerable number of colored
votes. AEew colored men have been won
over to thtsuppOrt Of the Democratic party
in Louisiana and other reconstructed
States, anoa greater number were intimi-
dated at tie late elections to vote for the
candidatesof that'party.
If Mr.. Case should be the Democratic
candidate or President be would get no
more vote of colored men in the South
than Hancock or Pendleton, while the col
ored men who, influenced by intimidation,
voted against the ratification Of the new
coAstitutiu and for the Democratic candi.

laws, and protected by well organized
and thoroughly disciplined State militia,

I or otherwise than as provided In article
1853. But there & a reason which seems to
have decided the General Commanding and
his advisors, and . Is that nearlxall themu-
nicipal officers elected in Louisiana are ex-
rebels, and bitter opponents of the Con-
gressional plan Of reconstruction. The
General kindly remembers his friends, and,
acting by authority of Congress, pays
homage to Andrew johnson.
The prOelamations Of the Board Of Regis
tratiOn are simply announcements of the
law as we have repeatedly stated it, and
now state il to be, aud declaration that
the whole board is responsible for the first
proclamation, and not the President of the
Board only, as was held to be the case by
the General Commanding. They have
sought, and still seek to have the civil Off
GERS elected by the people installed accord
ing to law, to have the Legislature con-
vened at the time designated in the consti-
tuition, and to have the fourteenth Constitu-
tlOudl aAuoiiNmChO uuOphCus ubu buo Othbc
readmitted into the Union at the earliest
possible time; and all this in accordance
with the spirit and intent of the laws OF
Congress, and in promotion of the greatest
good and interest of the people of this
State and the whole country. General
Buchanan seeks to postpone the installa-
ton of the civil officers elected by the peo-
pie, the assembling of the Legislature, the
adoption of the Constitutional amendment,
and the readmissiOn Of Louisiana into the
Union of States; and in carrying out his
determination he violates the plain spirit
ard intent of the laws from which be de-
rives his own authority, and misquotes and
Ignores the plain letter Of the new censti-
tuition, which forms an indispensable part
Of the reconstruction of the State. He even
arrests the Board of Registration, the repre-
sentativCs of the Constitutional Convention,
and releases them only al the mandate of
higher military authority. Let the people
Judge between us.

TIE BOARD OF REGISTRATION.

1t will be remembered that on Saturday
Major General Buchanan arrested the Hon.
S. B. Packard, President of the Board Of
Registration, for the avowed reason that
the proclamation issued by the Board was
"an impediment to reconstruction" Yes
terday about twelve O'Clock he arrested
the other members and marched them to
headquarters, but before their arrival he
had received telegram from General
Grant which somewhat interfered With his
anticipations of prisons and military COM
missions. The General asked each of his
prisoners if he individually signed the
proclamation dated the sixth instant,
and was answered in the Affirmative
He then asked them if their proclamation
had been promulgated with the object Of
making an issue with him, and was an
swered, no that the Board of Registra-
tration were acting in the discharge of their
sworn duty. The General then asked why
the second proclamation, dated the sixth
instant, was issued, and was answered that
it was done to relieve Mr.. Packard from
the personal responsibility which was at
tributed to him for the action of the whole
Board. General Buchanan then stated
that in consequence of a telegram which he
had just received from General Grant he
should release the members of the Board of
Registration, but kindly added a threat
that he might arrest them again at some
future time.
Yesterday evening the following com
munication was received by Mr.. Packard
