The FAMOUS APPLE TREs.-The
Montgomery Plcayune contains an inter
esting account of LEES surrender, from
which We take the following:
Every now aud then We see in our ex-
changes erroneous descriptions OF the SUI
render at Appomallox, and how Gen. Lee
stood and surrendered under an apple tree
how Gen. Gran, admired Gen. Lees
beautiful sword. and returned i'reDsrking
that Lee was too brave a man 10 be with
out weapon. &C.. &c. ...-
None of these things happened. Lee
did not surrender under an apple tree.
He did not offer his sword TO Grant.
Grant did not admire the weapon and re-
turn il. IT our readers will bca; with Us,
we will give the surrender as we cav it.
"Gep. Lee viewing The hopeless con-
hicl from distance, dispatches flag Of
truce to Gen. Grant, the struggle ends.
aud the hostile lines are drawn back.
While this correspondence was going on,
and while Gen. Lee was waiting The ar
rival OF Gen. Grant, he loo shelter from
the sun under an apple tree IN McLesn's
orchard, under which Col. TaIcoit, OF the
engineer corps, had plscd some rails for
a seat, and fully half a mile from APP
poma,lnx. Gen. Grants srrlVsi on the
outskirts ofihe army was soon announced.

elish sword girded 10 his eide, riding ior-
ward on his gray TO Deei Graul-he was

We have received from friend, copy
Of the Memphis Bulistin, containing
an expose of the Ku Klux, which shows
that the existence Of the order and its
bloody purposes are terrible facts TO the
people of Memphis. The exposeis is made
by Jack Campbell, the city editor of a
rebel daily and Supreme Cyclops of the
order, and gives the names of several

the order, the names Of the "assassina-

to be assassinated and full details of the
plan to assass nate the chairman of the
county commissioners, one of the judi

bell says he regrets that he is compelled
to make the exposure, but is driven to
it by personal attacks from some of the
hot-headed members, who wanted to go
into the assassination business indiscrim-
creetly. This humane and honorable
body Of assassins was broken up by

Edmund @. Ross.

Senator Ross, of Kansas on Saturday last
had the casting vote which was to determine
whether Justice should be done between
Andrew johnson and a suff ring aud dis
graced nation. He saw fit to use his fortui-
tous power in a way that grieves his best
friends, and stabs the good canse 10 which
he had long been faithful. No consideration
of personal friendship can hide from US the
fact that Senator Ross has reached verdict
OF Not Guilty by devious path. A lter the
evidence on both sides had all been present.
ed ard the case in ali its bearings was fully
lefore the Senate and country, the writer Of
this had two long interviews with Mr. Ross,
and in both that gentleman gave us to
understand in language as plain aud positive
as could have been used with propriety by a
Senator sitting as a member of the court,
| that there was no more reason to doubt his
position than there was to doubt the position
of Sumner and Howard. Many Of his votes
during the trial seemed to the general public
to favor Mr.. johnson. This he explained
by saying that he was content to be tenn
porsrily misunderstood for tie good of the
cause. He voted to admit almost every thing
offered ss testimony by the President be-
cause he had voted the same way when the
Managers were offering testimony and be-
cause he wanted the country 10 see and
know that the President had had every pos
sible chance to prove himself innocent, SO
that conv ction coming on the heels of such
trial, might carry with it weight and NOR
| al force. lie held that, as the Senate and
the Republican party would be made re-
sponsible for the Presidents removal, they
must thoroughly fortify themselves with
a fair trial, DC, before taking the;;step. So
vivid was the impression lett upon us by
Mr.. Ross explanations and assurances that
thereafter we lost 10 opportunity to deny
the statement that he was among the
doubtful Senators. The telegraph states
that as late as Friday night last he assured
several persons that he should vote for con :
| viction on the eleventh article. We do not
doubtit. The Leavenworth Conservative OF
last Wednesday, contained the following par
agraph.
Captain Garrett, of Lawrence, direct from
Washington, states that Senator Ross told
him before he left the Capital, that he wished
him (Garrett) to tell the people of Kansas
that he had never been doubtful on the
impeachment question, but always for the
conviction of Johnson"
We know of nothing in Mr. Ross past
history which could prepare his friends for
his present astonishing. attitude, while bis
known charRter, his faithful service in the
border war and during the rebellion, The
character of the State he represents-all
would seem to urge him with trumpet
tongues TO stand by the right. He may
possibly yet have an opportunity to redeem
himself, but We do not expect it. When
the vote is taken on the second article, if his
affirmative vote will convict and be 81
records it, his friends will gladly blot ou
his present transgression from the book o
