THE Ku KLux ELAN.

Many persons have been lead to suppose,
from what they have seee in the newspapers,
that the Kuklux Khan was a most danger

assassins and outlaws generally. Those who

by the stories they have read about the &.
K, will be glad to learn, as they will by the
following frank exposure of the objects of
the order, that instead of being the terrible
monster they had imagined, the organization
is purely benevolent and humanitarian in all
its arrangements and purposes -

1t is waste Of words TO argue any point
with newspaper which habitualy and pur-
posely falsifes history and repeats assertions
it knows to be impudently and absolutely
false. The Rim Union knows that seces-
sion was the child of abolitionism that the
southern states were openly and directly en-
couraged to GO out, by Ben. Wade, by the
New York Tribune By the Chicago Tribune,
and by leading radicals in the east. 1t
knows, too, that the monstrous talsehood IN
relation to sending arms south has been ex
posed and disproved by radical committee
in radical congress. We have Published
extracts from radical papers and radical
speeches over and over again, showing Sc
cession to have been caused by radicalism
We have again and again published the re,
port of a radical committee of a radical con

false. But this makes no difference. Rad
ical papers will not publish these facts, be
cause, by so doing, their readers would lear
the truth. Radical newspapers depend upol
keeping their readers in ignorance in orde
to keep them in the party. Therefore rad
cal papers suppress the truth, and continu
to repeat their oft-expioded falsehoods. III

Mr.. Groesbeck, in bis defence of the Pres.
ideut, made the following points so clearly
tina. there can be no controversy concerning
them: II the ofice-tenure bill is applicable
to Stanton, he was out of Office Immediately
after its passage, because it provides thai
no cabinet appointment shall be good fol
more than month after the presidential
term in which the appointment was made
Stanton was appointed in Mr.. Lincoln's hrs
term. This would decide that three or foul
cabinet officers are serving without author
ty. IF the bill is not applicable to Stanton
of course the Presidents authority to re
move him was not affected by it.

From the Country Gentlema,
a;mnle directions for Preserving Furs.

Simple directions for Preserving Furs.
Ladies are often anxious about keeping
furs free from moths during the summer
months. Some one advertises TO send the
requisite information for 81.
Darkness is ell that is necessary; The
'miller," the eggs from which moths are
Matched, only moves in light; the moths
themselyea work in darkness. Hang the
turs in very dark closet, and keep the door
shut keep il always dark, and you can
have no trouble. But, as closet doors are
sometimes le' open, the better way is to
enclose the articles loosely in a paper box,
put this in pillow case, or wrap around
with cloth, and hang up in dark closet
Oamphor, spices, or perfumes are of no use
Continual darkness is sufficient. And dc
not take out the furs in June or July to givt
them an Earring" for even then cometh the
enemy, and it may be that in fifteen minute!
after exposure, it has deposited an hsndreC
errs. III you consider an airing indispen
sable, give the furs a good switching anc
put them quickly back.

Some soldiers at Carlisle barracks lately
passed some resolutions of sympathy in
favor of President Johnson. The result
was, that General Grant sent the soldiers to
some points on the frontiers.
General Grant allows it to be made public
that he favors the conviction of MIR. John
son. Why is he not punished by being sen
to the Pacific coast? Or is it crime for
private soldier to have an opinion IN favo
of the President, and a virtue for genera
to have and express an opinion against tn
President?
