MORE KU-KLUX ARRESTS.
TEN CITIZENS OF WILKINSON COUNTY, GEon-
GIo, DRAGGED FROM THEIR HONESTY
: = INVITED srArEs soIpfEes.
From the Savannah Adyertiser.1

I'll
The evening train from Macon yestcr-
day brought ten respectable and peace.
able citizens of Wilkinson County, under
charge of United States deputy marshals,
with file Of soldiers. The facts rs wc
are able to gather them are rs follows:
The men were arrested under warrant
issued by United States commissioner
in Atlanta, on the affidavit of some ne
grocs, charging them with completely in
the murder Of n negro which occurred
some months ago. One Of the men, we
arc Informed, was arrested for being con-
nccted i'll some way with the murder of u
negro, which took place about TIVE years
ago. This negro was killed by some per-
son or persons, and his body thrown into
ditch, where it was subsequently dis
covered. An investigation was held at
the time, and the case thoroughly sifted,
and finally disposed of-at least such
was the supposition until this new arrest
was made. The parties, whose names We
publish below, assert that they do not
know for what they have been arrested
and dragged from their homes, but as
there has been nothing of n disordcrly
character in the County, except the muir
der of this negro, they can think of moth
ing else that prompted their arrest. They
state that they were quietly ut their
homes, not apprehendine or expecting
anything of the kind, when the arrival of
the United States soldiers and marshals
from Atlanta aroused them, or maiiy of
them, from their quiet slumbers. about
twelve and three o'clock yesterday morn
ing, and notified them that they were
wanted, ct the same time informed them
that they were under arrest upon war
rant issued by the authorities at Atlanta.
Preparing themselves as rapidly MS pos
siblc, they responded TO tho order, and
were brought to this city, arriving rs
above stated, on the evening train yes
terday. Many of the gentlemen brought
their servants with them. Five of them
are merchants in Irwinton, two are school
boys, two nre farmers, and one physi
clan. The following is the list: w. G.. d.

Auditor General.

The near approachmeut OF the State
Convention is having tendency to bring
on, the names of those who are willing
to serve the people as their accounting
officer. Many good names have already
been mentioned in connection with the
position-names that would be an honor
to any ticket they would be placed upon;
but in looking over the list there seems
TO be one section of the State that might
be Represented or which at least may put
in very just claims for place on the
next Republican State ticket, that Is the
southern tier of counties. The last, the
West interior, and Northern section OF
the State have innumerable candidates
for every Office named. We think that
the southern portion of the State should
not be neglected, and in order that all
sections of the State may be treated
alike, we present the name cf Hon. Ed
ward Scull, of Somerset, as candidate
for the Office of Auditor General, and
claim that it is one entirely fit to be
made. Mr.. Scull is the editor of the
Somerset Herald. is a devoted Republi-
can. His honesty and integrity are
without reproach, No spot or blemish
rests upon his private character. He is
well and favorably known all over the
State. is not connected with any of the
rings cliques we hear so much of. and
ha. the ability to make frst-class Au
ditor General.
