ttiOn to the president, signed by all classes of

KUKLUN.
The subcommittee sent to Mississippi and
Alabama to look into the operations OF the ku-
kluX in those states, and of which Senator
Pratt is chairman, have sent the testimony taken
to the committee in season here. Senator Pratt's
committee find that in Mississippi the kuklux
are operating chiefly against the educational
system, having burned nearly all the school
houses in the state and driven teachers Off In
Alabama, the same lawess band determined to
break up all the Methodist Episcopal church So
cietieS that have been established since the
close of the rebellion by northern missionaries
