Mr.. HARLAN, ex-Secretary of
the Interior, and Senator from
Iowa, has offered proposition to
amend the preamble to the cOnsti-
Triton of the United States.
He wishes it to acknowledge in
terms" Almighty God as the
source of all power in civil govern
ment, and the Lord Jesus Christ as
the ruler of mankind, and His re
vealed will as the supreme author
ity."
Leaving ont of view the inefla-
BILE stupidity Of this thing, as well
as its conflict with the sacred right
ofreligious beliefwhich the republi-
can theory guarantees to every
citizen, we would simply suggest
that its author should be watched.
He either meditates, or has already
committed, rascality of some kind
which this movement is designed to
cloak. Mr.. Harlan is indeed, now
laboring under grave charges OF
official vcnality in the Interior De

GEN. GRANT has been giving his
Radical friends more trouble. The
Radical Senators having deter
mined not to confirm President
JOhnson's appointments, there will
be the more for Grant to make, and
it is reported that Washington is
full Of office-seekers. They have
besieged Grant in such force and so
necessarily that he has issued an
order declaring that he would not
receive visitors except for two
hours each morning. lie found
that if he did not lay down this rule
and adhere to it he could not at
tend TO his military business at
headquarters. The order is to ap-
ply to Senators and Members equal
ly with the rest and proves quite a

that if he keeps the crowd away
now he will not see any one when
he is duly installed as President.

do not propose to deal. 1t is with
the fact that this man Petit re-
ceiyed a letter which, IL genuine,
was of very important character,
and that he retained it in his posses
sion nine months without divulg-
ing the character and purpose OF
that letter, and that he did not
make an effort to ferret out the
mystery and TO have this organiser
of what he felicitously calls
" the fraternity of satirists who
assume the cabalistic cognomen
of X. X. K" Here was an
important letter, which this man
Pettitt claims came into his hands
by some mishap." 1t pointed to
the fact that there was an organiza-
ton of a mysterious character in
this State; that it..had at least one
member in Monroe county, and
probably others that an effort was
to be made to organise q chapter
of the fraternity" in that county;
and this organiser was to be at
jacksonville during May court, and
Notwithstanding the Governor, and
the Legislature, and the Radical
press throughout the State had been
laundering against this mysterious
order, yet this Radical Clerk of the
County Court of Monroe, with this
letter in his pocket, never made the
| first effort to have GA. Wilson" ar
rested and thus expose the exist
ence of the mysterious "klan :
which has caused so much conster-
nation in the State. He keeps this
letter securely in his pocket
for nine months, and then makes
it public only in the hope of injuring
one man with whom he appears to
have a quarrel. Never has there
been a step taken to ascertain
| whether there ever was such man
as A. Wilson. He may be going
on organising chapters of the
fraternity of patriots who assume
the cabalistic cognomen of X. X.
X" to this good day for what ar
c. Pettitt, County Court Clerk Of
Monroe county, Tennessee" cares
He confesses that he has never told
Smith that he chad received the
lovely missive intended for him.
| This does not look like Mr.. Pettitt
thought there was much in the
letter. 1t was probably the work
of some smart felloy to brighten q
County Court Clerk, and the effort
appears not to have been without
some success. For his own reputa
ton, having kept the letter SO pro
found secret for nine months, Mr.
Pettitt should have still kept it il
| that secure pocket of his.

a Eu.KIIX LETTER 2

Mr.. r. C. Pettitt, Clerk Of the
County Court of Monroe, publishes
some letters in the Athens Repubh-
can, which present a case worthy
of consideration. The following is
the important letter in the series
RINGGoLD, Ga, April 4, lS6S.-W. M.

nessee.-Dear Sir and Bro. Yours ofthe
29th ult to me at Nashville was received
by me on the 3lst, just as was in the
act Of starting for Atlanta, and other
points in Georgia, to give attention to the
order.
In reply ! am sorry to have to disapr
point you by saying that the ritual and
kew are not allowed to be sent either by
mail or express, and that | cannot visit

In reward for your coming to us, you
NAV depend on the sworn support oil
forty thousand true brothers Of our in~
visible X. L. X, who have faced death.
Remember that our success, and safety
also. depends on keeping our order pro-
found secret Be ever ready to denOunce
it in most bitter terms but more ready
to make the impression that there IS no
such order in the country. BE careful
to keep your standing with the Union
men. This is a strong point for US in
your county.
We need some help from Union men
lust now, aud ] write to-day to your Uery
goOd friend of the County Court, in
order 20 get his signature. Wewill work
him as we choose before November, and

friends) never injure you nor yours.

before November election
Address for two weeks at Atlanta.
Remember our oath.
Yours in X. X X, A. WILSON.
The letter addressed to Pettitt
simply inquired as to the marriage
of couple in Monroe county, and
bears the appearance of having
been designed simply to get his sig
nature. This letter bears the same
date as that to Smith. Pettitt ex-
plains that the letter to Smith
came in an envelope to him, and
that the letter addressed to him
went in the same way to Smith. A
second letter to Pettitt from Viii
son. written from Atlanta on the
18th of April, is also published, and
Petit processes to have learned on
its receipt of the letter addressed to
him having been received by
Smith. He "went to Smith on
April %, 1868, and demanded the
former letter of April A. What
passed between Pettitt and Smith
at this interview is not stated. The
letters are now published appar
emily for the purpose of damaging
Smith, who is Clerk of the, Circuit
Court for Monroe county, and no
thing else. With that purpose we

SOME of the carpet-bag preach
ers are doing all they can to bring
discredit upon the South. For in
stance, a Rev. Mr.. Elder, a MethO-
dist preacher now living in NT-
ginia, testified before the recon
struction committee on the 18th
inst, that society in that State was
in a fearfully bad condition, neither
person nor property being safe, and
that he could not preach a sermon
there without having two revolvers
in his pocket; that he would be
egged if he were unarmed, etc. To
this Mr.. Brooks, a member OF the
committee, remarked that the rev
.erend gentleman would require a
whole Battery Of guns to protect
him. in New York, if Ire should
speak as violently of.the people in
the latter State as he represented
himself as speaking. relative to the
interests of the people,of Virginia.
This rebuke did no good, as the
reverend carpet-bagger persisted in
his Misrepresentation of the people
among whom he proposed to live.
