The KUK Lux KHAN ExPosED.- Through
the vigilance and skill of the Union detect
ives of Memphis, Tenn. the secret by laws
and constitution of the Kuklux Klan
have been exposed. Becoming fully satisfied
that they had disc ,vered the meeting place Of
the Memphis branch of the Klan, the detect
ives and policemen of the city made decent
on the den on the evening of April 7th, and
captured number of the inmates, together
with copies of the by laws and constitution OF
the order. The object of the organization, ms
set forth by the bylaws. is for the purpose
of preventing the freedmen from exercising
political privileges, except as directed by
white Southerners to oppose immigration
from the North; to cherish eternal enmity
to all Radicals, white and black, and to hold
no intercourse with them, but to stand ready
to welcome them with bloody hands to
hospitable graves" All members of the
order swear, with their hands upon human
skulls, that they will preserve the secrets of
the order, and faithfully obey all the COM
mands issued by the Grand Council. The
order provides for the disposal of obnoxious
persons by various modes, including secret
assassination. Taken altogether. the pur-
poses of the order are of the most diaboical
and criminal character, and show that the
Klan is a fitting nucleus for the reorganiza
tion of the Democratic party of the South.
No INDEED.-The Mariposa Mail dem. J
publishes AxtelPs reconstruction speeches,
and in its remarks thereon says:
While we cordially indorse Mr.. Axtell's
slashiHg and vigorous attacks upon the revo
luton policy of the Radicals, we must repu
date and utterly condemn his assumption
that the Democratic party of the North ever
sanctioned the war for the abolition of slave
ry, and his declaration that the Democracy
claim and are entitled to any credit for tn e
result of the war. The assumption is false to
history, and repugnant to every sentiment of
democracy.
Do you hear that, you who claim that
Democracy saved the country from the fangs
of treason?

Another Fatal ARRAY.


Homicides have become alarmingly fire.
quent iE this county of late, and strict and
rigid administration cf the law against taking
human life is imperatiyely called for. Last
Sunday dispute arose between Michael
Moran and Henry Schroeder, alias Pete
Leopold, in Hull's store, Buckeye, which led
to rencontre, and finally ended in the death
of Moran and the dangerously wounding of
Schroeder. 1t appears. from the evidence
given before the Coroner's jury, that Moran
and Schroeder commenced a dispute in the
store about some mining affairs, and that
hard words and insulting epithets passed
between them, the latter drawing a sheath
knife and brandishing it while talking. Mo
ran finally started out of the store and called
upon Schroeder to 20 out to fight, and upon
the latter reaching the door Moran shot him
with long single barrel pistol loaded with
shot, the contents striking him in the lower
portion Of the breast, and ranging toward
the right side, inflicting dangerous wound.
On receiving the shot Schroeder, with drawn
knife, started after Moran, who retreated,
but was overtaken and stabbed four times in
the back, and once in the back part of the
head Four of the wounds penetrated the
vitals, and Moran fell and expired almost
instantly. On being notified of the occur
renee. Coroner Lynch repaired to Buckeye
and summoned jury to inquire into the facts
in relation to the affair. After full investi-
CATION verdict was rendered in accordance
with these facts. Deceased was native of
Ireland, and aged AZ years. Schroeder was
brought into town and placed in the County
Hospital for treatment.
