THE GOVERNOR AND THE KU'
KLUX.

The visions of Ku-Klux unfortunately
come up during these times of quiet 10
torment the peaceioviDg mind OF our
Goveruor. He can no longer restrain
his pen from writing to the Legislature
his well-grounded fears. One not a citl-
zsn of the State would presume from
reading bis Message, sent in few days
AGO. that this was the very court OF
death. where people we're Slaughtered IN
discriuinstely without regard to color
or previous condition" MsDy citizens
of the State. says the Governor, have
been outraged In their privileges and
persons BY cruel indignities, not few
slain outright without charge of having
IN spywise offended the law, while 9th
ers under criminal charges have been
fcrcibly vrested from the custody OF the
Law and their blood deliberately shed BY
bodies of men without the least shadow
of authority.
What a murderous set must be these
Tenuesseeaus if ell lie true as charged
against them by their Governor, who
speaks as one possessed with competent
knowledge. II correct. as asserted, that
