GENERAL JOHN B. GoRDoN's LETTER.
Colonel Moi Olure apologies for the ab-
surd exaggerations of Senator Scott
about the Ku Klux, on the ground that
the Senator from Pennsylvaoia does not
know any better, but actually believes
that every anti.Grant man is q Ku Klux
murderer. The Senator has recently re-
ceived some instruction on this subject
which ought to enlarge his understand
ing. Scott having stigmatized General
j. b. Gordon. Of Georgia, as among the
organizers and earliest leaders of the
Ku Klux, General Gordon has published
q letter, In which he taxes the Senator
with having uttered wilful, deliberate
falsehood. and says that he knows no.
thing OF any such order as the Ku Klux,
save what he has seen in the newspapers
He further says that he has never seen
or heard of disguise in Georgia, ex-
cept those worn by two captured rob-
bers, who were members of the Senator q
own political party, both of whom are
now IN tho Georgia penitentiary. The
senator selected the wrong man when,
IN his place in the Senate, he attacked
the private character of Gordon.

A Wcnde FL Set of Che ssmen

There is now ON exhibition, at No.
48 South Desplaines street, a set of
chessmen, made by Chinese expert,
something like those of half centu-
ry ago. They are carved by hand,
from the finest quality Of solid ivory,
and are culored in white and red. The
work of cutting them out occupied al
most a lifetime, being entire y accom-
plished by one man. Their size is
somewhat colossal, the ".Kings" being
about nine inches in height, and the
"Pawns" nearly five. The latter are
mounted, and the Castles" are the
ancient elephants. The Bishops"
stand out as priests of Confucius, and
the "Kngs" and Queens" are Chinese
Emperors and Empresses. The beau
ty of the whole, however, is the deli
cate and exquisite carving,--every
feature, every piece Of drapery, hav-
ing the most elegant and elaborate flu
ish. Eacn piece stands upon ball,
resting on pedestal. Within this
ball are other and smaller ones, all
cut, inside from the solid ivory, and
Il
all carved in the same manner as the
one surrounding them. These are per-
forated with holes cut after the form of
sta.s and circular saws. Within the
ball at the base of the Kings" ,here
are seven smaller ones. carved within
each other, and it would be impossible
10 get either of them out without
breaking Each bears sword loose
in its scabbard, and each is in three
pieces, and can be easily taken apart
These men were first brought to the
notice of Lord Elgin, ,Ambassado from
England to the Chinese Court, and
who purchased them for 100 guineas
Afterwards when Lord Elgin was Gov
ernor General of India, they were pur
chased twenty-five years sinee) by II
wealthy American gentleman, and
have never before been publicly ex-
hibited. They are now valued at
about 81 900. To-day they are nndnuht
edly the greatest articles of curiosity
in the city, aud all interested are in
vited to call and see them Chicago
