Got What he Went After.

On Thursday of last week two men entered
the store of Maj. Zach. Hargrove, at Rome,
Ga, and informed him that they had come for
his blood-had ridden forty miles for that pur-
pose, and that nothing else would satisfy them.
Mai. Hargrove, who, in Confederate times, in
his capacity as provost-marshal, had seized
distillery belonging to one of the parties, tried
to reason with them; but without avail. He
finally told them that if nothing but " blood''
would do them, they could return in an hour,
when he would be prepared to give them sat
isfaction. Upon this they retired. In about
an hour they again approached the store in a
boisterous threatening manner, with pistols in
hand. Major Hargrove, who was prepared,
warned them not to approach nearer. At this,
one of the men fired shot from his pistol
when Mr. Hargrove raised his shot gun and
discharged its contents of buckshot into the
body of his assailant, the other man taking tC
his heels. The wounded man, whose name wa:
Bowen andwho belonged in Polk county, Ga.
lived about an hour. Maj. Hargrove SUSTAINED
no injury save painful wound in the hand
| by the pistol shot fired at him.

S6efore last, while on his way to fill an
lsment near Morganton, Blount county,
~ Slaid by gang Of rutfians, seized and
$,icd, carried some distance from the
sten and severely whipped. Mr.. Neal
Jrn aud grew up near this place, and we
vclow him to be an even-tempered, prudent
young man, and incapable of carrying politics
into the pulpit. His otfense seems to have
been that he belonged to the Holston Con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, and had expressed and manifested Il
determination to perform the duties assigned
him by that body. He was within the bounds
Of his Circuit, and on his way to the discharge
Of his ministerial duties, when the attack was
made upon him. 1t is stated that Mr.. Neal
did not recognize any of the parties; but we
trust every effort will be made to ferret out the
coWardly ruflians and visit upon them such
punishment us their brutal and lawless con-
duct merits.
Mr.. Neal was here few days ago. We fail
ed to see him, and derive our information from
other parties. He has, we learn, returned to
his Circuit.

Riot at EayettevIlIe.

Our Nashville exchanges of last Saturday
contained accounts of a riot, of rather formid-
able proportions, which occurred at Fayette-
VILE, Lincoln county, on the preceding Mon
day. No doubt the affair is somewhat eNag-
gerated. We copy what the Fayetteville OBJ
seYuer says about it:
"Last Monday was lively day. An I'M
usually large number of people was in town
whisky flowed freely, and a large number OF
men were reeling under its influence. Some
half-dozen or more fights took place i'll the
evening, In the course of which a young man
named Pamplin was killed by pistol shot
The ball passed through the bowels, and out
at the back near the spine. Others were hit on
the head with rocks and sticks, and one OF
two rather badly cut with knives. No one
seems to know who did the shooting and cut
tinc-in fact. in large, excited crowd, it is
almost always difficult to say how any deco
of violence is committed. Last Mondays
work is to be deplored, and we hope that We
may never have to record its repetition"
Two of the wounded in the Fayetteville
riot have since died of their injuries.

The EGukiux Ekian.

y correspondent in Sequatchie Valley writes
TO know something about the KukluX Khan
Il secret organization said to exist in some por-
tiOns Of the State. 1t is not in our power to
furnish the desired information. We have oc-
casionally seen reference to them in our Md
die Tennessee exchanges; and it has been sta
ted that the order had its origin in opposition
to loyal leagueism. How that may be we can
not say. Their costume is said to be peculiar
and signifcant-a white garment made up af-
ter the manner of a shroud, surmounted by a
cap on the front of which is displayed deaths
head and the cross-bones. We have no fancy
for such suggestive symbols, and design to be
very respectful in thus incidentally referring
to the order. The following, which we find in
the Franklin Reuieoo of last week, may help to
allay tfN curiosity of our friend of the Valley
KUKLUX KHAN, February g.
Mr.. Editor: 1t is not the purpose of our
Khan 10 modest any one, nor is it our intention
70 interfere with State or Federal authorities,
all the vague and malicious reports you may
hear TO the contrary Notwithstanding. But we
will not allow mischief-doers to trouble pri-
Vate circles or commit their miSdemeanors
upon our credit.
We would therefore respectfully warn all
parties that our Khan will take special cogni
ZanCe of any evil that may be committed by
persons in disguise and under the name of the
KukluX, and will punish the guilty parties il
the severest manner. Parties disposed to com
init violence in such manner are reminded
that we will take special trouble to Investigate
any such cases may come up.
Hoping that nothing of the kind will occur
and thanking you for your kindness in giyin;
this a place in your columns, we are most ODE
