"Murders Most Foul

Probably in the history of this country
there has never been such a series of cold
blocded murders recorded as there has
been within the past few weeks. These
terrible deeds, it will have been noticed,
have not been confined to the South, where
radical politicians take especial pains to
drag before the world every deed of hor-
ror that is committed-and many, perhaps.
that are not. In the North, and particu-
larly in New England, these murderous
acts are characterized by frightful atroci-
ties which might cause ever Southern
Ku-Klux to recoil shudderingly. Murder
as one of the fine arts, as described by De
Quincy, finds almost daily illustrations in
moral AMI puritanical New England. It
is evident that the lessons of the ancestors
of the New England people, who hung
Quakers and burnt witches for pastime,
are not forgotten. Seriously, cauRot our
New England philanthropists and philoso-
piers pause moment in their missionary
works among the far off Hindoos and fat
and lazy Africans and set about improving
the immoral atmosphere with which they
are surrounded, and in retaining from
Satan's grip the poor, shivering souls akin
to their own flesh and blood A truly
shocking state of affairs prevails in New
England. and something should be done to
check the course of society there in its
downward career to decentralization

Their Organization Who are They P
Some Of their Doings.

The KG Klux klan organized in Columbia
Maury county, Tenn, about three months
since.
It seems that the greater portion Of the
people in and around Columbia were dis
posed to treat the existence of such an 5r-
ganization a myth-their acts having been
confined to the whipping and regulating
Of sundFy notorious characters throughout
the country-and it was not until the latter
part of February that their unbelief became
certainty, and their derision changed to
terror
On the evening of Friday, the 28th of
February last, young man by the name Of
John Bieknell, residing in Maury county,
was met on the road between Mount
Pleasant and Waynesboro, IN Lawrence, by
an unknown man, murdered and robbed of
money, horse aud pistol
The murder was pursued night and day
by six determined young men, and overtaken
and arrested within eight miles Of Shelby
vile, on the following Sunday, brought back
and lodged in Jail at Columbia.
On the same day, the people of Columbia
were startled by the appearance of band
Of mYsteriously shrouded and impenetrably
disguised horsemen, who Joined the funeral
cort ege of the murdered man, and who after
certain mysterious ceremonies at the grave
knelt around it with uplifted hands and
vowed vengeance upon his slayer. They
disappeared as silently as they had come.
On Monday night, the Cd of March, a
body Of armed and disguised h0rsemen,
yariously estimated at from Is to $50 men,
after throwing out pickets on al the roads
leading into town, entered Columbia and
proceeding to the jail about half past 10
O'Clock forced the jailor to deliver his
prisoner, and tying his hands, mounted him
In front of one Of the band, when they pro-
cecded at a slow trot out of town. Entering
a dense grove of cedaFs, on the banks of
Duck river, the prisoner managed to get his
hands loose, threw himself from the horse.
and by rolling and tumbling, found himself
IN that stream, which he swan, and took
refuge in house on the opposite bank.
Here he was recognized and returned to
the Columbia jail on the following day
TuesdaY-and the same night again taken
from the Jail, taken to the woods and hung
his body being found the next morning
hanging to a whits oak tree, about one mile
south Of Columbia.
The Grand Cyclops, K. K, addresses
note to the editor of the Columbia Herald,
wherein he states that before being executed
the man confessed to the murder-stating
that he had shot young BIeknell twice that
he was from Newburg, (NeWberry, we sup
pose,) South Carolina and that he richly
deserved the fate that overlook him. lie
gave his name at one time as j. NJ. Walker,
and again as James Pitts,

It was but recently, a vast cavaloade Of
giants, presenting a strange and supernatural
appearance, with faces pale as deathi and
mounted on clay colored steeds, entered the
city Of Knoxville, Tennessee.
1t was between the hours of twelve and
one ut night, when the inhabitants were in
the midst Of slumber, resting from the fa-
tigues and cares of the day, that this solemn
and alarming procession entered the city OF
Knoxville.

up in the ar, emblazened al over with
figures and letters of fire, and in the centre
