sNEaRo KU.K1ux IN AnABAMA.-Trou.
1bie in the Republican ranks short time
ago revealed the fact THAR there exists a
secret toath-bonnd society, organized on
military principles, now permeating the
c8unty Of Montgomery, Ala, in a1l di-
reotions. and having its "head centre.
in tha city of Washington, The Mont
g6mery Adcertiser, Of the 1st inst. gives
'thei following account OF the latest de-
svelopmepts: '1.u7 ! ts. i.ii., a51.i@a.T
LIT seems now that the more prudent
and sober of the Radical leaders in this
locality are opposed to this dangerous
secret body, and desirous of putting it
down and forcing its dissolution. But
some OF the younger and more reckless
spirits OF the party, backed by the Afri-
can rank and file in the national gunrd,
= are. disposed to reject the demand for the
disbandment of this military association
'Ihe consequences Of this collision of SEN
timent has been much newspaper wran-
Cling, several turbulent political meet
arrests Of parties on both sides from vim
diotive feelings.
= y'Messfs. Knox, Brainard and some
others have been arrested under the Ku
Kiux law, as members OF the national
guards and for disturbing public meet
ings; and in their turn, they have arrest
ed Mr.. 'Minnis, the District ATTORNEY Of
the United States, and Mr.. Healy, the
Marshal of Middle Alabama. under the
provisions OF some of the Acts of Con-
gress:' = sh.ii- -
''It really appears that if these arrests
are to go on. the whole Radical party
will presently, find itself in jail or under
bond. In the meantime. the Democrats
are acting the part of Good Samaritans, >
and going bail for the Radicals arrested
the one by the other. There is not
enough property in the whole Radical
party to make one ordinary bail bond. It
lie, certainly queer state of affairs. .Why
don't the sub.Ku Klux Committee come
back here and report tho national guards
to CongresS?"

Is there no way in which some state law
could be brought to bear upon the impudent
villains in some quarters Of the State, who are
having honorable, respected and worthy white
citizens arrested on the false charge of having
obstructed the voting OF colored people, at the
late election? The citizens arrested are gener-
ally discharged, as soon as their cases are in
vestigated-but then they ought to have some
legal remedy, some protection, against lying
