a sharp engagement, were cutting the air
about him. Those who have been in
this peculiar situation need not to be told
that it gives nervous feelings to most

Murder of Union Men.

| DoINGS OF THE KU-KLUX KHAN.
A committee of the Tennessee legisla-
ture have been making official investiga-
ton as to the number of Union men in
that State. Their report presents most
nideous picture. We make the follow
ing extract:
"a NUMBER OF CASES IN POINT.
In Lincoln County the Ku-Klux Klan
took Senator VIM. Wyatt from his house
in the night, and inflicted all sorts of
indignities upon him. They beat him
over the head with their pistols, cutting
a frightful cash, and saturating his
shirt with blood, leaving him insensible.
Senator Wyatt is a Christian gentleman,
and sixty-fve years of age; his only of
tense being that he is Union man and
member of the State Legislature.
In Fayette County the only teacher of
colored children has been assaulted and
driven away by the Klan.
Spencer Griffin of Sumter County, a
respectable aged citizen, was whipped
80 lashes; was told that the niggers all
thought they were free, but they would
see that they would have to do what
they were told; this was the way they
served them the first time; the second
time they came shooting and hanging,
August q, 1868.
Steven Meddow of Marshall County,
sixty-two years old; member of the
church fifty years republican; 10th
of July party of Ku-Klux called at
his house and asked if he would tell the
truth, and said if he and his son voted
the radical ticket they would hang them
that they had voted the radical ticket
before, and now must vote the conserva-
tive ticket or they would hang them
they had pistol pointed at Mr.. Meddow
all the time; on the following Saturday
night man and his wife were inhuman-
ly whipped; another man and his son
were choked until nearly dead; all this
was in Marshall County, in July.
The Rev. n. o. Hoffman of Shelby
vile, Tenn, says: l have never seen any
of the Klan, but that it exists in our
county no one doubts. Several have
been hanged by this secret organization.
Mr.. Dunlap and another colored man,
who was badly whipped, on the night OF
the 4th of July, and his person was cut
in great gashes from the middle of his
back to his ribs. Mr.. Dunlap's offense
was teaching a colored school. l have
been repeatedly threatened, and was told
that the K. X. X had Il list made of the
men they intended driving from the coun'
try; found the following note in my
yard:

A Self-Made Man.

The story is going the rounds of the
papers that Mr.. Henry Keep intends to
found an art gallery in the city of New
York for the benefit of the public, and
that, having spent more than quarter
of million for the land, he proposes to
expend NIL on more in addition on a
building. Who is Mr.. Henry Keep !?
His biography is another illustration of
the striking changes which take place
among us in few years. As his father
died poor he, with his mother, was thrown
upon the town. His first recollections
are connected with the poorhouse of JEFF
ferson county, New York. When old
enough to earn his bread he was bound
to neighboring farmer, who gave him
plenty of hard work, but no schooling as
he had agreed to. The lad took the work
OF righting himself in his own hands !;
50 gathering up his all in a handkerchief
he ran away. We next meet him riding
a horse on the Erie Canal thus paying
his travelling expenses. He brings up at
Haneoye Falls, near Rochester, does odd
jobs for a miller, and then becomes a
man of all work for Gen. Gould. He at
once shows his thrift in saving money
earned by extra work. Next we hear of
his investing in Monroe county bonds,
which gives him a handsome return.
Then he goes into Canada, collects silver
money, brings it into the States" and
makes his profit. So much patient toll,
forethought and economy bear golden
fruit. Next he becomes a banker in Wa
tertown, N. Y, marries and becomes one
of the foremost financiers of the town.
He establishes other country banks.
Then we find him among the first brok-
ers in New York and in the recent cleo
ton of the Chicago and Northwestern
Railroad Company he controlled twenty
eight out of the thirty millions of stock
represented, owning himself million
and half dollars.
What stride this is from the pauper
boy to the millionaire. But the pathway
from the poorhouse to the mansion on
Fifth avenue and the presidency of
great railway is one of toll, care and
struggle. The conquesthas cost years of
earnest striving. He is the type of a
selfmade man. He has prodigious self
reliance-rarely asks advice, but relies
on his own judgment. He, therefore,
leads men. His influence in financial
circles is very great. One or two Incl
dents are told of him as illustrative of
character. Although his transactions
amount to millions it is said that he
keeps no accounts but his hand book
During the war he maintained it was the
duty of every man to stand by the gov
ernment; SO he invested very largely in
United States bonds, and is probably now
" bloated bondholder."
Altogether the biography of Mr.. Keep
is remarkable. If the reports in the
newspapers be correct, he is about to
crown his life by an act of public benif-
cence which will give lustre to his name
more enduring than that of his gold. 1t
is very desirable that men should, as far
as possible, be their own executors. Mr..
Keep, if the story be true, follows in the
path of Peabody, Peter Cooper and Ezra
Cornell. The results of his life's labor
are not wasted. They will live in works
of genius that shed glory and happi-
ness all around them Christian Regis
ter.
