MIDDLE TENNESSEE KuKLux.

Take the following charge of Judge Will
Hanson to the Grand Jury at Lebanon on
Monday, as reported in the Banner, and
see how it compares with Ex-Governor Mel
S. Browns statement in introducing Sem
ator Schurz:
Judge Williamson, in his charge to the
Grand Jury yesterday, at Lebanon, said that
the changed condition of things required of
every good man that he should lend his influ-
ence to the enforcement of the law that this
class Of men who were committing crime in
disguise were our worst enemies, and that il was
especially the duty of the Grand Jury and il
should be their first duty to arrsign and indict
these men that there must be some mode of
bringing these men to justice, and that the
Grand Juries must do it, These masked men,
in the commission of crime, were worse than
men who lay in wait or poison because they
not only committed the crime, but their course
was calculated to bring the whole country into
the greatest trouble. The North, and in fact
| the whole civilized world, judged of our entire
| people by these acts of violence.
No matter what we thought about making
the negro citizen, he lcGs citizen, and should
be protected in all his rights-erery one of them
we owed 1t TO ourselves and posterity TO pro-
tect them by our own local laws to the fullest
extent Especially must they be protected in
their dwelling places no matter how humble
Inc law would protect all our citlzeus, white or
| black, who in defense of THEFT homes, were
| compelled TO take the life of masked men,"
Ex-Governor Brown said there was no
such organization. If there is no such or
ganization in Wilson county, why did
Judge Williamson deliver such a charge
to the Grand Juay? If men are not COM
mitting crime in disguise, Judge William
sons charge was q very strange one.

WILL THEY DO IT.

The statement telegraphed with such a
flourish of trumpets from Nashville, that
the extract from the testimony of j. O.
Griffith, recently published in the CHRoN-
ICLE, was not the whole of the testimony
given by Purvis & Co. was partial and
garbled and published without authority,
we hope will not mislead any one. OF
course the evidence published was not en-
tire, and it was not claimed by the CHRoN-
IcLE that it was. We gave it as but a por-
ton of that evidence and we undertake to
say that it will prove to be just what it
purported TO be when the full evidence is
published. We did not claim, in either
case, that we were giving full statement
of the testimony. But we did believe
and still believe, that we gave fair
extract and it will SO prove. OF course
the secret Of this hasty contradiction shows
that the testimony of the accused parties is
not satisfactory. They have the singular
misfortune of having denied their guilt
and of now being dissatisfied with their
own evidence in their own behalf. They
have been persiseently crying aloud abou
Radical corruption,n and now being
caught in frauds they first object to be ex-
amined in their own defense and then
complain terribly because fair extracts from
their own evidence are made public. Did
they want TO wait and have the Committee
whitewash them first, 50 that it wouldn't
be necessary to publish their evidence at
all? We dare say their accuser will now
consent 10 have their testimony published
and the Committee, if requested, would
doubtless give ready cGsNent If their
testimony is satisfactory, the best way TO
prove that the CHRONICLE did them injus-
tiee is to publish the full evidence. Will
they do it?

MARTIAL LAW.

Since the proclamation of martial law in
South Carolina, howl has gone up from
the Democratic press throughout the coun-
try, denouncing the President for usurping
power and overriding the liberties of the
people. But these Democratic editors do
not mention the long and continued for
bearance of the Government and the warn
ing of the Executive, giving the offenders
against law and order ample time to dis
band their organizations and return peace
fully to their homes. They did not heed
the warning, but continued their acts of vi
olence under cover of darkness, and now
that the hand of power has been raised to
protect peaceable, law-abiding citizens in
their rights, those who are suffering the
penalty of their crimes can seek what COM
fort they may in the knowledge that by
their persistence they have brought de-
struction upon their own heads.
Whatever may be the private feelings
and personal predictions of intelligent
Southern men, large number deprecate
midnight assassinations and resistance to
the laws of the land, as destructive of the
best Interests of the reconstructed States,
to say nothing of the cowardice involved
in the commission of these outrages. But
while many strongly discountenance acts
of kukluxism, the acknowledge leaders fail
in great measure to publicly condem
what they know to be wrong and would
themselves scorn to engage in. Public
opinion must put stop to acts of violence,
and the sooner the better.

The Memphis appeal, OF Wednesday,
devotes well nigh its entire issue TO the
benefit of our worthy Representative in
the Legislature, Hon. G. NJ. McGhee, and
Tom. Scott, the Railroad King Of Penn
sylvania, and takes occasion as il goes
along to give Governor Brown a severe dig
under the fifth rib, The appeal finds
fault with McGhee because he is willing
that Scott should come in here with his
capital, take charge Of and build certain
railroads in East Tennessee, and says Gov
ernOr Brown has "unconsciously fallen
into the hands of these remorseless railway
SPECTATORS" We have read the editorial,
and have come to the conclusion that Mr..
McGhee may be guilty of the charges con-
tanned therein, and yet no. be serious
enemy to the prosperity of the SlSte or his
immediate constituents.

Death Of Hon. Thomas Ewing.

Hon. Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, died at his
residence in Lancaster on Thursday after
noon aged eighty-two years. His death
was caused by yalvular disease of the
heart. The intelligence flashed over the
wires aud cast gloom over those who had
known him as great man among the
giants of other days, and In honor to his
memory the Departments at Washington
were closed on yesterday. The Courier
Journal thus speaks of the deceased
Though prominent in public life, he has
hardly had the conspicuity that his re-
markable ability should have commanded
1t was an accident and mistake that he
was not nominated for the Vice Presiden-
cy in place Of Fillmore. A word-perhaps
acareless one from an Ohio politician-gave
what turned out to be the Presidency to
Fillmore, and there is reason to believe,
changed immensely the current Of Amerl-
can history.

Committee on the 31st inst. 1t lays out
the following work, a portion of which, it
will be seen, is very important:
1.-The Democratic Executive Committee OF
the State will meet at Nashville on the 3lst OF
this month. For what purpose the public are
not advised. The committee can issue call for
convention of the party it represents, but
nothing else can it do with propriety, except To
pass solemn declaration that the committee Is
