The K. K. K.

That sterling lesel-hesded sheet the
Missouri Democrat, thinks that if the Presi-
dent of the United States was not a traitor
TO its Constitution and laws, he would use
every power at his command to trample
out Of existence the Kul1lux klan, an or
ganization avowedly criminal in purpose
and VIGOROUSLY infamous in its deeds
As usual, the Democrat hits the mark
squarely. The Khan exists because Andrew
Johnson IS still President. texists because
the Democratic party gives it moral sup
port and encouragement. This band Of as
sassins Is the vanguard of the Democratic
host and if ii is not extcrminatod before
the next Presidential election, that election
will prove "a bloody one. 1t is the duty of
military commanders everywhere to crush
this gang of murderers by the stcrnest and
surest methods. General Meade begins
grandly, and deserves thanks. Other com
manders. General Grant himself may well
sec to it that no such organization continues
20 exist in this conatry How long, Hon
orable Senators, do you propose TO debate
or bubble, while lie presence of a traitor
IN the White House encourages his friends
TO organize themselves as banded assassins I?

organized Assassination,

Colonel Beaumont may have exceeded the
warrant Of law in arresting, as members OF
the secret political organization Of the Ku-
klux Khan, a parcel Of hot-headed young
Memphians He has been numerically
rated by the Avalanche and Appeal, whose
efforts TO explain the matter have been
equally solemn, persevering, and intensely
absurd. The first line of defence adopted
was TO represent the Khan to be nothing but
a base ball club, addicted to innocent noe
turna frolics. The skull found was stated
to be the property of a DOCTOR and hap
pened to be in the room. The appeal fol-
lowed this story with a whitening attack on
the Chief of Police for his unlawful de-
scent" upon the unollending young men
of the pride of the South Base Ball Club"
Thus called by name, the club published a
card Indignantly repudiating the Appeaps
version No doctor could be found to claim
the skull A fresh explanation became ne
cessary The ArdLanche threw itself into
artless narrative about the alleged Khan
being only serenading and glee club"
This was published in the form of a com
munication, purporting to have been writ
ten by one of the tuneful band. + x
The young men who thus bound them
selves by bloodthirsty oaths to engage in
murder, ought 10 be thankful to Colonel
Beaumont if by his vigilance, he arrested
their purpose before its execution-be before
taeir hands were stained with blood and
such crime as makes the most hardened re-
probates start from sleep, aghast, charged
to their account in the eternal record That
Ashburn was assassiaated bymembers of
the same Organization, we have no doubt
whatever and that other Union men in the
South will become the victims of these
banded assassins, uEfask the vigorous meas
ures of General Meade and other depart
ment commanders shall result in its sup
preston, who can question? Itonly needed
the infamy of this organization OF murder
ers to give the coup dc grace to a cause which
began It's hideous career with the humilia-
ton of the flag, and ended with the assas-
sinahon OF the President of the United
States Cincinnati Chroqiclc

nae MhIte MANS convention.

The rebel organ Of this city calls loud
and long for q meeting TO be held in our
court house next Monday, at which chit,
men are 10 attend and negroes are TO be OK.
GUIDED What the meeting proposes 10 dc
We are not exactly aware, but VIC presume
thoy will organize in the usual way and
adopt a platform and string of resolu.
tons As We are a white man, we consider
ourselves invited, but physical disability
will prevent us from attending We pro.
pose the following resolutions suitable for
the occasion and worthy of a place in the
platform, as the paper calling meeting
has up Johnsons name for the Presidency
Resolved, That when A. johnson pro.
claimed himself the Moses of the colorod
race, he was only making a bid for the Vice
Presidency upon the Republican ticket, and
has since, like a true Southern man, gone
back upon tho negro, declared himself the
enemy Of the negro and in favor Of q white
man government
ReSolUed, That when A. johnson declared
that If there were but five thousand loyal
men IN any Southern State they ought TO
govern 10 NC was only IN lun, ana mas since
proven TO the world that he is opposed 10
loyal men governing the Southern States,
and rs IN favor Of rebels ruling. and has
doHe all he could TO advance rebels TO
power
ReS3lUed, That when A. johnson declared
that rebels had no rights but the right to
be hanged and damned that traitors must
be punished and treason made odious-and
that all rebels must take back seats in the
work Of reconstruction, he was only cleo
pioneering TO get into power, and has since
shown his preference for rebels over Union
men, Tor AZ which we admire him the more.
RcSOlUed, That the men who held meet
ing in Knoxville, in 1861, most Of whom
are here. now, and called upon President
Branncr TO furnish General Hindman and
his rebel troops a locomotive TO intercept
Johnson in crossing through Cumberland
Gap, and hang him, are entitled to the
thanks of this meeting for their devotion TO
the cause Of the white man.
We could add several other interesting
items, but reserve what VIC have to say ill
this meeting of white men comes of.
