Shelabarger Bills and supplements in the
spring of 1861 gave the organization a
new impetus throughout the South. The
increase of the organization in the North
ern and Western States, aud especially in
the Pacific States, from the 1st November,
1867, to the 1st of April, 1868, has been
beyond the expectations of its most ardent
friends. The organization at this time
numbers over seven hundred thousand
members, with as rapid additions as the
public security may require.
The Know Nothing party was defeated
and utterly destroyed by the National
Democratic Party, without recourse 10 a
counter secret organization, for the main
reason that the Know Nothing Party had
not the control of the Federal Government
and hence were unable to uphold their
organization by the purse and sword
Until recently, however, the enemies ~of
the Ku Klux Klan possessed the govern
ment and welded its mighty powers
They possess it to-day, but only in name;
not In reality. Let the tyrants of mon
grel and infamously corrupt party beware !
Your party is but shell. The castle OF
radicalism has been permeated and under
mined by the white ant of the Ku Klux.
The Ku Klux Klan is, therefore, secret
political organization, the result Of neccs
sity, the sole object Of which is to thwart
Radicalism, arrest negro domination i'll the
South, negro equality in the North, per-
petuatc the Federal Union and preserve
the Constitution as the fathers made it,
And who ever asserts to the contrary ut
ters falsehood That the Ku Klnx Klan
have secrets unknown to the uninitiated is
not denied; so have the ancient orders OF
Free Masonry, Odd Fellowship and other
secret orders and societies; but like Free
Masonry and Odd Fellowship the objects
and purposes of the Ku Klux klan have
thus been for the first time officially pro-
mulgated. The incl edulous and guilty
may carp and misrepresent; but the wick
ed, the ungodly and the riured will soon
feel The keen edge Of the sickle and the
invisible boring of the white ant.
Let the coffin be closed.

we should call the colored people togeth-
or and endeavor to disabuse their minds
of the idea that thcrc is enmity or oppo-
siton of interests between their race and
ours. We bavo witnessed much good re-
suit from such efforts already. We should
break up those secret organizations
known az Union Leagues. How! By
discountenancing and refusing to employ,
or in any way patronizc those who are
members of these secret and dangerous
associations.
The monicd power of the country can
thus be made to exert its proper lnfiu-
ence. The most powerful weapon OF
radicalism in the country, is to be found
in these League associations. Once break
them up, and release the colored people
from the blind funatcism that willy office
seekers have instilIed into them through
their agency, and there is hope that
these newly made voters can be induced
to listen to the counsels of those who are
in reality their true friends.
The Marion Crescent says:
The result of the election was radical
majority of l3 votes. How fairly obtained,
may be Judged, when it is known that
some managers were rot sworn; and that
in one box at least there were five more
votes than names on the books.
Many cf the gentlemen of this District
did their duty nobiy. If all had voted
who were entitled to this privilege the
result would have been different entirely
Many registered whites never went to the
polls. This is much to be regretted. The
ignorant negro will be led to believe that
his race is in the majority; simply because
he has no idea of numbers The tools OF
radicaism know the material they have
to work upon, and rejoice at its stupidity
and pliabiIity.
y tev white men have affiliated with
the negro; but the majority of what the
radical orators call the poor uhlte element,
and which they regard a. no better than
the poor negro, voted for the conservative
ticket Tie men who withheld their
votes are the cause of this radical success.
Let IFS push on our conservative orsaniza-
tion; watch the spies who would mingle
with us; and be ready for "whatever fate
betides us" This is conservative Dis
trict, and properly canvassed we arc all
right. Let us push on vigorously.

THE TWO MEHCliANTS.

When trade grew slack and notes fe'!
due, the merchant : face GREW long and
blue: his dreams were troubled through
the night. with sllerill>' bailitlS all in sight.
at last his wife unto him said: Rise up at
once, get out of bed, and get your paper,
ink and pen, and say these words unto all
men:
Nv goods l wish to sell to you, and to
your wives and daughters too; my prices
they shah he 50 low, that each will buy
before they go.
He did as his good wife advised, and in
the papers advertised. Crowds came and
bought Of all he had; his notes We're paid,
his dreams made glad; and he will tell to
YOU this day, how we'll did printers ink
repay. He told us this with knowing
wink, how he was saved by printers ink.

The other in place rs tight, contented
was the press to Sight, and did not let
the people know, of what he did or where
to 90. His drafts fell due and were not
paid, and levy on Ills goods was made !;
The store Was closed until the sale, and for
some time he was in Jail. y bankrupt
now without cent, at leisure lie can deep
repent, that he was foolish and unwlse,
and did not freely advertise.

Mr. Park Harrison, a painstaking me
teorologist in England, has made clear
to the Astronomical Society that the
heat reflected from the moons surface
affects our atmosphere and consequent
~ our weather. Many persons have re-
marked that the sky is clear about the
time OF the full moon. The explana-
ton 10 that the reflected heat, being en-
tirely absorbed by our atmospheric va
por, raises the temperature Of the air
above the clouds, which then evapo-
rates more freely. The difference of
temperature between the greatest and
least amount of heat reflected from the
moon is two degrees and fraction on
ly; yet small as it is, it appears to be
sufficient to produce the effect Of clear
ing our atmosphere. Mr.. Harrison is
too diligent . worker not to carry his
Investigations further.

Mint does 1sSelah" Mean2

Every body who has ever read the
Psalms, has asked that question. The
Bi6liothees Sacra thus answers it:
The translators of the Bible have left
the word Selah, which occurs SO often
in the Psalms, as they found it, and of
course the English reader often asks
his minister or some learned friend what
it means. And the minister or learned
friend has often been obliged to confess
ignorance, because it is matter in re-
gard to which the most learned have
by no means been of one mind. The
Targums, and most of the Jewish COM
mentators, give to the word the mean
ing Of Externally" "forever." Kimchi
regards it a sign to elevate the voice.
The author Of the Septuagint translation
appears to have regarded it as musical
or rythmetrical note. Herder regards
it as indicating q change of tone; Math-
eson al musical note, equivalent per-
haps, 20 the word repeat According
to Luther and others, it means silence
Gesenins explains it 70 mean: .Let the
instrun ents play, and the singers STOP
Wochter regards it equivalent to "sur-
nam corda"--up my soul! Sommor,

nizing in every case san actual appeal
