account of the midnight meeting Of The
projectors of the paper, the dreadful tonsts
and esolves-auite in the Southern chivalry
style of doing things.
The organization is admirably planned
for secresy. 1t is governed by a triumvi-.
rate, who are known only to the two con-
suls next in rank each consul is known
only to certain number Of pro-consuls
these in turn appoint commissioners, who
organize civil and military colonies which
consist of rank and file. No member Of
any colony knows the members ofany other,
the officers on.y know the next in rank
aud all knowledge and power is lodged in
the triumviri, who alone can betray the
secrets. The orders and instruction, and
charters are published, and the editor Of
the GALAXY has seer the original docu-
ments. ~
The Imperialist was started independ-
emily of this society, through not without
Its cogni lance. At the meeting which
decided the existence Of the paper, which
took place in the hall bedroom of a New
York boarding house, and was begun with
toast, "Death of the Republic--Life to
the Empire" the three proprietors vera
present and gentleman high in the T..
G. /. O.; one of them had been Red
Republican, and was the only American
ever proposed for membership in the Italian
Carbonari.
The paper started with the utmost au-
dacity, and by its very impudence attract
ed attention and got gratuitously advertised.
1t was officially adopted by the I. CT. o.,
and its circulation increased, so that it at
one time sold 10000 copies and began to
pay. But it suddenly disappeared, by order
of,he conspiracy, which preferred to labor
yet in secret.
A very curious part Of this story is that
the Democrats nursed this paper and tried
to keep it alive. "Nlore than one Demo
cratic State Committee paid money into
the treasury of the imperialism" more
than one prominent Democratic politician
made it gifts Of money and, "upon rumor
that the paper was about to be stopped, the
Tammany ring offered to. pay a weekly
subsidy of 500 to insure its continuance"
These offers of money and gifts to it were
made exclusively by Democrats, says the
writer. The Democrats even charged
members of the Cabinet with contributing
to ir, but there was no truth in the report
a Democratic proprietor of newspap
who made this charge against Mr.. By
had himself given monty to the paper
