| ing down Kuklux--for he calls ell southern
men Kuklux--if they go to hunting down
and shooting these men, there will be war,
and bloodier one than we have ever wit
messed. I have told these Radicals here
what they might expect in such On event.
I have no powder to burn killing negroes.
I intend to kill the Radicals. / have told
them this, and more. There is not Radi-
cal leader in this town but is marked
man, and if a trouble should break out, not
one of them would be left alive. I have
told them that they were trying to create a
disturbance and then slip out and leave the
consequences to fall upon the negro but
they can't doit. Their houses are picketed,
and when the fight comes, not one of them
would ever get out of this town alive. We
don't intend they shall ever get out Of the
country. But | want it distinctly under
stood that am opposed to any war, and
will only fight in self-defence. If the
militia attack us, we will resist to the last !;
and if necessarily think could raise forty
thousand men in FIVE days ready for the
field"
"Do you think, General, that the Kuklux
have been Of any benefit to the State ?"
"No doubt 0: it. Since it's organization
the Leagues have quit killing and murder
ing our people. There were some foolish
young men who put masks on their faces
and rode over the country, frightening ne
groes but orders have been issued to stop
that, and it has ceased. You may say fur
Their, that three members Of the .Kuklux
have been court-martialed and shot for vio-
lations of the order not to disturb or modest
people"
>re you member of the Kuklux, Gen
eral ?"
II am not but am in sympathy and will
cooperate with them"

much surprised, notwithstanding all We
have written OH the subject, to find 30 many
people sweating away ct digging with
spade, when in nine cases out OF ten the

the same time with inexpressibly less labor
1t is scarcely necessary to say that the
people we see so barbarous are not our

much better than hve-tined one-Gar-
