The Union League and the Ku Nax..

In a recent editorial, the Charleston
Courier says with much force, that the
General Government, to be consistent,
should carry on the war which it, has
instituted against Ku Klux offenders,
still farther against the Union League.

in large measure, to whatever Of ku-
Kluxism exists at the South. :2.
The Courier says: 30 ..y,.. 80. .

bers, with its secret ouths, its forms OF
initiation, its passes and signs, more
nearly approaching in the nature OF

any other organization. They met, bal

were bound to each; other by the most
solemn of oaths. No one, buta Repub-

and no one has been thus far, hardy
enough to deny it, a secret political asso-
ciation Of Republicans alone" bound to-

sustain the supremacy of their party
and to defeat and prevent all others who
should oppose. In this respect there is
not an allegation which can by possibility
be brought against the ssn-called Ku
ILluX, which cannot with greater Ger

Union Leagues. No one can deny that

Lees services in the reorganization OF

General Lee was first in command in
West Virginia, aud then on the sea. coast

Pines he came to the command of the
Army of Northern Virginia, and con-
ceived that splendid campaign OF which

the seven days battle around Richmond
Lee had T5,O09 infantry and 5000 cav
airy and artillery, and this was the
largest army he ever commanded.
In swinging around to attack McCiel-

men between the enemy and Richmond.
