LIBERTY BtALL, CRAwFoRDsvrLLE. G

LIBERTY FALL, CRAwFoRDsvILLE. GA,
August 6, 1872.
To HIS Ercellency US. Grant, President OF
the United States, Washington, D. o.:
Ny DEAR SIR-Of my own accord make an
appeal to your Excellency Tor clemency and
mercy in behalf OF all those prisoners now
suffering In penltentiarieB under sentence Oh
courts in several States of the Union Tor a
violation of the act of Congress generaily
known as the Ku-Klux act, or for Violation Oh
the enforcement acts OF Congress, nnoer
prosecutions founded upon the last nance act.
Not q single one OF these parties is knowa 70
me, nor am 1 acquainted In the sllghtest de-
gree with the nature or character Oh tne
CHARGES brought against them, nor with the
facts upon which the conviction or 9 slngle
one of them was founded. My appeal ID sim.
DIV for clemency and mercy. IL ls iounoeo
upon these considerations:
First. NV Impression from what have seen
In the newspapers is that all these conVictlons
rest upon prosecutions for offences coE nitted
before the passage Of the Ku.Klux act. 1t is,
I believe, we'll known that l was utterly OPP
posed to all those combiDations known as Ku-
klux organizations. I have all my lie been
for law and order. Without, therefore, saying
ANYTHING about outrages of this sort, either In
e%xtenuaIion or condemnation, before the pas
sage OF the act of 1871 for their suppression by
the Federal authorities, I repeat that my I'M
preston Is that no one In whose behalf l make
this application committed al offence for
which he Is now suffering after the passage OF
this act. This view Of the case, 1t seems to
me, should have weight with your Exceliency.
Second. The great purpose OF the govern
ment, 1t seems TO me, has been accomplished.
I believe that no one now has any serious ap.
prehensions Of any further disturbances OF
this sort. Indeed, as 1 said before, none, as /!
believe, have occurred since the passage or
the act for their suppression By Federal au-
thority. 60
Third. When the object Of punishment upon
the Individual and upon society Is accomplish
ed, lenlty should be the rule with all govern
ments. ,
Fourth. Many ofttese parties, I understand,
are infrm, q few of them old, several of them
have families dependent upon them, all OF
them have suffered severely. For these rea-
Sons 1 ask Sou, by the authority vested IN
you, to grant them, one and all, q general par
don. Twill present you with no view found
ed upon the constitutionallty Of the act under
which they are suffering, or even ofits doubt
full constltutionality, but appeal to you to 40,
as Mr.. Jefferson did with those who were I'M
prIsoned under the allen act Of 1888, give them
q release under the pardontng. power wisely
lodged In such cases In the hands OF the Exc
cutfve.
If, NV dear sir, this Petition cannot be grant
ed, I trust It will not be deemed obtruslve.
Let it be attributed solely to my deep sympa-
thy for all who are In prison. This appeal
shall put in the hands OF others, who, l hope,
may, after giving It their endorsement, for.
ward 1t to you. Most respectfully.
ALEXANDER Il. STEPHENS.
