The Ku-Nux and Their Worl

The Ku-K1ux and Their Work.
General Napoleon B. Forrest has been
before the ku- kluxCommittee at Washing
ton--iR fact, he has been twice examined
by it. There s thc.pity of it. At the first
sitting he went as became SO gallant a
chief, the whole hog, bristles and ALL
There were no Ku- Klux-never had been
any-at least he had no knowledge of
any. That was swearing to some pur-
pose, and the General stepped down to
receive the admiring plaudits of his COM
patriots. l,t
But somebody happened to recollect a
very different story told by, this same
General of journalists on two occasions
in 1868; SO copies of their report was
hunted mp, the General recalled. and con-
fronted with his own recorded statements
in August and September of that year.
OF course he denied the accuracy of the
report-that was a dive necessity-bnt
they compelled him to recollect.much that
he had conveniently forgotten. He still
denied that he had been a Ku-KluX, but
at length admitted that he belonged to
''the Order of Pale Faces" another name
for one thing. This he said he had dis
banded in the Spring of 1858; but, being
confronted by. the awkward dates of the
aforesaid newspaper letters. concluded
that it must have been in the Fab. In
short, the General left the committee
room thoroughly ''attened ont, with the
wreck and debris Of his original testimony
lying in heaps around him
We propose here to com olete the evil
dence. afforded by his reluctant admis-
sions, and show that, so late as Novem-
Der, 1868, 1.-THE Order of Pale Faces" or
"White Camelia," or whatever else it NAV
from time to time choose to call itself,
was terrible power at the South-that it
compelled tens of thousands of legal
voters either To shun the polls or vote
contrary to their choice, and that the
State of Louisiana was thus constrained
by violence and terrorism to vote against
Grant and Coliax, and for Seymour anu
Blair Georgia and other States were
similarly intluenced but we will coniine
this scrutiny to Louisiana, because that
State alone presents these phases:
l. A large majority of her legal voters
were colored men.
2. They had recently chosen Rcpubli-
can Governor.
>. 1t was generally understood that,
should Seymour and Blair be chosen, the
white Democrats would proceed to recon
struct their State, as Gen. Blair had pro-
posed in his Broadhead letter, by ignor-
ing and forcibly subverting the Carpet
bag government" and erecting "white
mans government in its place.
4. No one ever believed or pretended
that any considerable number of blacks
sympa;hized with TINS purpose. On the
contrary. they ardently desired the cleo
ton OF Grant and Colfax expressly 10
thwart il.
And yet that State was made to vot
as is shown by the following comparison
of the official aggregate returns with those
of the official rs cistration and OF the vote
cast at the spirited election of 1870:

women 10 Vote.

! (ErOm the ST. LOUIS republican,
The Mormons have made a forced
march on the Gentiles of Utah territory
that perplexes them not little. The
Gentiles have no politics but opposition
TO Mormonism; they know nothing else
than this, and they care for nothing else.
This is the common platform upon which
all of them stand. Their power and ia
iuenee are steadily increasing through
the federal authority which they wield,
and the Mormons were forced to contem-
plate time when the Gentiles, by their
steadily increasing numbers, would be
in the ascendancy, unless they could
by new accession. This they lately
did; the territorial legislature passed an
act on the 18th of February, 1870, ex-
tending the right Of suffrage TO women.
This act provides that every woman OF
the age of twenty one years, who has re-
sided in this territory six months next
proceeding any general or special cleo,
ton, born or naturalized in the United
States, or who is the wife, widow or
daughter of native born or naturaiized
citizen of the United States shall be en-
titled to vote at any election in the ter
ritory." This law doubles the Mormon
voting force, at once, and seriously dis
courages the Gentiles; for while many
Mormons have several wives, and some
of them several daughters, the GentIles
are generally scarce of both. They are
preparing to contest the constitutionality
of the act, because it gives the right OF
suffrage to women who are not natural
lied citizens. Under it, foreign born
woman, may vote, six months after her
arrival in Utah, provided she is the wife
of a naturalized citizen. But this
attempt to invalidate the law will prob
ably fail under the constitution OF
Missouri, persons not naturalized, but
who have declared their intention to be-
come naturalized may vote; and no one
we believe, ever proposed to dispute the
of this provision.

a Negro Democrat upon the
Stump.


at Lexington on Saturday night, a
week ago, an intelligent and educated
negro man named Harry Howard ad-
dressed a meeting of citizens at the court
house in that city, explaining his reason
why he was determined to no longer
hold political relations with the Radical
party. lie was member of the late
Radical Convention at Frankfort. where
he was incontnently snubbed and hooted
when he attempted to take part in the
proceedings. It seems that he has not
| been unObservant of the course Of his
late Radical associates, but has discover
ed that they have no real regard fer the
negro race, aud only affect to be their
friends for the purpose of using them to
give their party the Offices and the pow
er Of the Government. He declared to
the people of his own race, that the Rad
ical leaders had no other object but to
lead them that they might make money
out of them and secure their votes for
their own purposes. He argued to show
that the majority of the employers of
the State Democrats and their best
friends, as the interests Of the negroes
and their employers we're identical, and
if the Democrats of the State suffered
they too must suffer. He appealed to
them hereafter to vote for the Democratic
candidates. He declared his intention
