SPENT IN THE CULTIVATION AND GROWTH
Brownlow's Knoxville Whig. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1866-1869, 1868-04-08
KNOXVILLE TENN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL s. 1868


The Newman (Ga.) Herald Of the 2sth
inst. has the following editorial ON the re-
bel secret order, which deserves attention
KUKLUx KHAN
This is a strange word aud must surely
have some signifcatrln The word Kukluk
which designates band Of regulators in
Texas and other Western States, is suppos-
ed TO be derived from the Greek word
K'tkloS, which signifies circle.
But what is this Khan? Why, evidently
the spirits of dead Confederate soldiers,
rising out Of their graves on battle fields
and cemeteries, and riding about their below
ed country, watching the acts and doings of
traitors and conspirators These spirits
have been moved in their graves by the
vile, wicked and hellish oppression heaped
upon THEN down-trodden living friends and
countrymen They arc the opposers of
Radical ecrctorganizations and will avenge
the wrongs committed by Radicalism, hav-
ing no fear of court or court martial for
these tribunals have no jurisdiction over
acts committed by ghosts.
In all seriousness we assert the opinion
thai this organization is the natural growth
OF these disordered times, destined 10 e1tend
to ecery Southern city and torn, for violence
and wrong beget violence and wrong. We
warn those who have been prominent in
assisting i'll humiliating and insulting
Southern whites, TO be careful in future
and remember the fate of the tiger Robes
pierre In that which has been behold
that which will be, and there is no new
thing under the sun.

The 0nanlng Argnment.

1Oneral But1CIS opening OF the case
against the President before the High Court
Of Impeachment yesterday was an argu-
ment Of surprising power. 1t is sufficient
to say of it that it was fully worthy of the
great occasion For the overwhelming ar
ray of authorities which he presented he
was indebted partly to the able assistance
of Hon William Lawrence, of Ohio, than
whom few men have studied the whole sub
Jet of impeachment more thoroughly
But when we consider the brief time Gen
eral Butler has had for preparation, some
conception may be formed of the herculean
labors represented by his finished and mas
terly production. None but a man of the
greatest mental and physical endurance
could have performed such a task as Gen
email Butler has, IN q manner which shows
no trace Of inadequate time for prepare
ton.
Before coming to the consideration of the
specific charges against the President be
clears the ground for his attack, and forth
fes his position by disposing of certain
collateral questions. His first inquiry, and
one entitled to precedence by its import
ance, relates to the nature Of improbable
offences His position on this point accords
with that which we have heretofore taken
in these columns, viz; that an impeachable
offence is not necessarily an indictable
crime and this position he demonstrates
by numerous precedents, English and
American.
The character of the trial and of the tri-
bunal are then considered in succession,
and in the latter connection the Presidents
frequently threatened objections to the par
4. al g xfa
expressed an opinion as TO those parts OF
his conduct now in question, are SO fully
anticipated and so completely answered
that we apprehend they viii never be of
fered On this point the presidents cited
are overwhelming, both III their number
and pertinency. There is not an exception
which can be taken TO any Senator which
is not forestalled by the citation of some
precedent which viii preclude it.
Stripping the articles of their legal yer.
blage and suocinctly stating their essential
allegations, he takes point after point and
marshals around it the law and the facts by
which il is supported and Eliminates the
whole by gathering into single focus the
| light of five hundred years experience. 1t
would be impossible to give in the space at
our disposal even an outline of his argu-
ment One of IFS strongest features is that
il establishes the guilt Of the President
/ from facts which are admitted by the de-
! fence so clearly that witnesses might al
most be dispensed with. Taken as a whole
! il demonstrates the wisdom of the Mana
gers in selecting from their number the
man who is acknowledged to be the greatest
criminal lawyer Of the country TO open the
prosecution against the greatest criminal

Letter from the Veteran TO q Friend In
Lancaster, Pa.

LANCASTER, March 3O.-The following
letter from the Hon. Thaddeus Stevens has
been received by one of his personal friends
in this city. II speaks for itself:
WASHINGTON, March 20, 1868
Hy Dear Sir u received your letter OF
the 9th this morning, and am very glad
YOU intend to be al Chicago personally. 1t
your constituents and mine have indicated
a preference for Vice President as | rather
think they have from their vote, / should
deem it your duty as matter of personal
fidelity TO begin by voting for that person
whether he be friend of mine or not, as
no man seems to me justified in violating
the wishes Of bis constituents to please any
other person. But if the person thus indi
Gated as their first choice should fail of a
probability of election, or gradually de
cline, then, if / were there, or my wishes
were TO be consulted, should use all of my
efforts in favor of B. f. Wade He is a
true man, in whom you and /, and every
radical man, can confde and you viii find
that the country, as well as our particular
friends. will profit by his success l wish
YOU would show this letter TO your collea
CUES. as shall be kept from the Conyen-
ton, and desire to see an honest man placed
in the position of great contingent respon
sibility. As to the candidate for the Presi-
deney, presume you all agree that none
other than General Grant is TO be thought
Of Honest firm, and well indoctrinated in
principle without ostentatiOn, and without
pride, / do not see how better selection
can be made. His Judgment Of men is so
sound that j have full faith that he viii call
around him the ablest and purest men OF
the nation. With Grant and Wade to guide
and defend US, this nation in four years viii
have acquired a prosperity which vail be
the wonder of the world. Universal Free
dom maintained by Universal Suffrage on
this continent cannot fail to have that ef-
feet.
Very Respectfully,

RADICAL RUFFIANIsM.
Dastardly Persecution of Southern Meth
odists in East Tennessee.

From the Banner.I
A short time since a revival of religion,
conducted by ministers of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, commenced in
Jonesboro, East Tennessee, and 10 less than
d week there WAS an accession to the church
of over one hundred new members. The
services were held in the Court house the
radical wing of the Methodist church hav-
ing forcibly taken possession of the church
edifee rightfully belonging to the Church
South. AS might be anticipated, the radi-
Gals were aroused, and, in keeping with
their tactics, commenced a furious crusade
against those who were laboring so earnest
ly for the conversion of souls. An indig-
nant ''loyalist," burning with rage at what
was going on, thus vents his rage in a COM
munication to the Jouesboro Union Flag,
boldly urging mob law to put stop to the
revival. Just listen to his loyal gUsh:
EDITOR FLAG am sorry to see that
there has been progressing in our midst a
rebel revival of religion for the past few
days, headed by men whose hearts are as
black as the mudsills of the eternal world,
and whose arm,pits are dripping with the
purest blood of East Tenn essee's loyal sons,
Ashed in the accursed rebellion Such char
cters, or in other words, such demons are
id, not only with contempt of every true
citizen, but the execration and scorn of ev-
cry living being. 1t were they who turned
the cogwheels of the rebellion, and brought
about the dreadful calamity of four years
carnage and devastation. Are these pusil-
luminous usurpers to occupy our court
house-the temple of justice-in 10 very
teeth ofloyal men who offered their lives
sacrifice for liberty? God forbid. Then
let the loyal people take hold of this matter
and clean them out. Certainly our County
Court, composed as it is of true and good
loyal men, are not going to suffer such a
stain upon the fair escuteheon Of Washing
ton county as to allow these rebel scalawags
to desecrate our houses of justice. If SO,
they are not the men tho loyal people Of
Washington county take them TO be. Let
them rescnd the Infamous order for the oc
cupancy Of the court house at once, and
thus show upon which side they stand.
Commenting upon this. the Union Flag,
with it's characteristic liberality, makes this
Infamous proposition
Let the members OF our County Court,
who have drop Of loyal blood in their
veins, come up like men at the next term Of
the Court and drive these rebel emisarie5
from the temple of justice. Let them be-
ware of the pressure brought against them
by rebels and copperheads, and allow no
persuasive eloquence" to turn them from
the path of duty. and they will receive the
combined aid of every loyalst in the land.
We trust every Union soldier throughout
the country will be at Jonesboro on the first
Monday in May.
