ku.Klnx Outrages-TestimOny Before
the Committee.

The Washington special of the st. Louis
Republican telegraphs the following testi-
mony taken before the Ku-Klux committee
Saturday:
Captain Talliaferro a captain of the Con-
federate army. now planter near Macon,
Mississippi, testified that within the past
year, in that county, fifteen cOlOred men
were killed and a number whipped, and
that there was an organized band of ku-
Klux in the county. He had attended
three or four meetings of it, although he
had never taken the required oath. The
supposition of those present was that he
was a member of their khan, and that he
had been initiated by Captain Bard, who
can swear in members. His friends and
neighbors all belong to the band. The wit
ness gave the committee details OF the Or
ganizatien, signs, grips, etc. On one occa-
was present at the whipping of several
colored men, but after that he did not go
with them any more. The object was to OBJ
tain the entire control of the negroes, and
make them vote as their leaders required.
No prosecution has or would be instituted
in that county. Nobody dare prosecute.
He was witness before the Grand Jury at
Oxford, and ON his testimony several MEM
bers of the Ku-Klux were indicted.
peace in Chattanooga, Tennessee, also tes-
titled. He said he was elected to that office
a year ago. About three weeks ago his
sister was teaching d cOlOred school fifteen
miles west of Chattanooga. Saturday
night, while she was there, a band of dis
guised men seized and took him to swamp,
stripped and whipped him. and made him
promise to surrender his office. He related
several instances where colOred men had
been killed. These things produced such
fear among the colored people that they
sought refuge in towns for safety, and were
afraid to vote.
The next witness was Mr.. Bigger, origin
ally from Ohio. He served in the federal
army, and after the war was for ten months
a freedmens bureau agent and four years
ago he settled in Clarendon county, South
Carolina. He opened store near Naming,
bought land and was agent for leasing land
to colored persons; made advances to them
on crops. He had never had any difficulty
with any one until last December He was
the victim of Ku-Klux. A band of dis
guised men got key of powder and with it
destroyed all his store goods. In March
they took him and his clerk to a swamp,
where they gagged and bound the clerk,
and they threatened to kill the witness,
when he gave the Masonic sign Of distress.
The leader recognized the sign and spared
his life, and he was warned 10 leave in
twenty-four hours, which he did, together
with the clerk. In the same county other
Republicans were driven out since these
events, and a colored man killed.

Some sharp New Workers bought up all the
prunes in bond in that city, SO as to get up
was no demand, and Mr.. Boutwell, was soon
applied to to release the goods, as they
were spelling. George reminded them that
perishable goods were bonded at the owners
risk always, and could not be released ex-
cept for export. So it came to pass that
last week ship cleared for the Canadas
with ,993,9s7 pounds of prunes, valued at
one dollar; and when the Canadian certiti-
Gates of receipt are produced, the bonds
will be released here; and whether the
fruit feels wormier than the spectators, is
a great question.
