NORTH CAROLINA.

Consideration Among the ku Kiux Klans-
Legal Responsibility Of observation-disclosures
Of the Order.
RALEIGH, Sept. l. 1870.
The Justices OF the Supreme Court in the Ku Klux
cases now OH trial. have unanimously decided that
a member is responsible for the acts Of any other
Khan in any other county though he HAD possessed
no knowledge OF the act done until after its COM
mission. Counsel for defence admitted the legal
proposition.
This decision has thrown CONSERVATION among
the Ku Klux and their sympathizers hereabouts, and
W Ill tend to the complete disruption of this iniqu
tous conspiracy throughout the State. The evidence
dscloses the perDe rarion Of the most nendsh out
RACES on coiored and white republicans for mere
political purposes. The order was forty thou
sand strong IN this State over year ago. now
many now Is not known.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1870-09-02

THE KU KLUx IN North CARoLINA.-The
civil law in North Carolina, rigidly interpreted,
seems likely to do what martial law, oppres-
sively enforced, has failed to do-that is. put
down the Ku Klux Khan, which is said to num-
Der forty thousand members in that State. A
decision has been rendered by the Justices of
the Supreme Court, at Raleigh, holding indi-
yidual members of the organization RESPONSE
bls before the law for any illegal act done by
any other member Or members in any part of
the State; so that if band of them in New
Hanover county, on the Atlantic shore, should
murder negro, member in Cherokee county,
at the western end of the State, could be
hanged for it, even if he had never heard Of
the affair until he was indicted. This is pretty
severe reasoning, but it was accepted by the
Ku Klux counsel, and it appears already to
have had salutary effect. II seems likely to
disband the whole organization, and no logic
can be too severe which does that.
