CHARLEsToN, September THE
statements OF Patterson in the National
Republican, of Saturday, are false in
the following particulars: That the
Board Of Trade in Columbia denied in
in 1871 the existence of the Ku. Kiux,
or that Judge Thomas, Of the Sixth
Circuit. or the York grand jury. did
deny their existence, or that the rifle
clubs of to-day are Ku Klux. The
Board of Trade in 1871 admitted the
fact, and passed resolutions oondemna-
tory of the same. Judge Thomas did
the same at York. and the York grand
Jury presented ffty-four persons for
Ku Kluxing anterior to the session of
the Ku Klux Committee. but they
could not find single case upon
which the United States could suspend
the habsas corpus and take charge of
the cases. This was the trouble with
the York Court, for it proved that the
suspension was based upon falsehoods
and was itself conspiracy. The
United States Court. which afterwards
did take charge OF the Ku Klux cases.,
never found any of these oases subse-
quent to the session of the Conrt; If
the grand jury were ever indicted for
Ku kluxing, and are now in the Al
bany Penitentiury, Judge Thomas does
not know 1t. There was an inoffen-
sive white Republican, named Ham
bright, who may be the man referred
to ns convicted. The rifle clubs ut
Charleston and in the State have never
been suspected of Ku Kiuxing; they
were in existence during the Ku Kiux
trials of 1871. and were not evel,
charged With connection at the time in
any official manner. The trouble with
Patterson and bis white Radicals is,
that the Kn Klux Acc having expired,
and the enforcement Act only protect
ing colored people, they are without
protection and have to encounter the
storm of public opinion. This is
aroused by the attempt of Patterson
and his ring to enforce tho valuation
OF the fraudulent bonded debts of the
State, which the Radical Legislature,
at it's Inst session, repudiated. The
negroes laugh at the situation and de.
clare Patterson's statement to be clap.

not sustain his bond scheme.
