ILLINOIS KUKLUX.
Terrible Condition of Affairs I'm
Some Counties.

ST. LOUIS, August IA Globe
Democrat special from Benton,
Franklin County, ILL.,, says: For
some time past body of men dis
gujsed in the Kuklux style have
been travelling over the county whip
ping peaceable citizens and COM
pelIing them to perform any act
they dictated. Up to this time the
citizens have tamely submitted to
these ioutrages, But yesterday j.
B. Maddox. one of the County Com
missioncrs, received information
that some of these marauders would
visit his house and whip him for not
obeying the orders they had given
him. Maddox informed Sheriff j.
L. Mason, who summoned 20 men,
who secreted themselves at Mad
dox's house, well armed. About 2
oclock last night the K0klux, four.
teen in number, made their appear
ance on horseback, disguised in
white robes, high white hats and
masked, and armed with shot-guns
and pistols. The Sheriff slipped out
when they came to the house and
ordered them TO surrender. Tie
leader of the band drew pistol aud
fred at the Sheriff. but missed him.
The Sheriff and posse then ordered
halt. when the band shot, and then
wheeled their horsed and attempted
to escape. The posse fred, and
one man was mortally wounded and
others injured but all succeeded An
getting away except the man fatal
| " hurt. The names of others were
revealed by the wounded man, who
was captured, and the Sheriff and
posse are after them to-day. f.f
Great excitement prevails, and
the citizens are determined TO rid
the country of these marauders. A
meeting was held by the citizens to-
day and resolutions adopted, and
active measures are being taken to
bring the outlaws to justice. These
desperadoes are said to be some
four hundred strong in this county.
Governor Beveridge has one hun
dred stand of arms, and military
company is being formed, and a
bloody result may be expected.

shrewd Confidence Game.

Shrewd Confidence Game.
The woodbury. Press tells how
prominent farmer in Wilson county
was taken in and done for, by fell
low with q brzen free and mellow
voice, who has been among the
Grangers and found his profit there
by. Here is the story:
He ascertained by some means
that Foster Doak, Esq, who lives
eight miles south of Lebanon. was a
never-railing friend. politically and
personally. of the lamented Andrew
johnson, whereupon he left Mr Har-
ris' and went to Mr.. Doalz's, He
soon won the confidence of Mr..
DoaE, and made him, too the custo-
dian of secret of fearful import.
With bated breath he told Mr.. Doak
that Andrew Juhnson, jr., youngest
son of the ex-President, had shot
and killed u. S. Revenue officer
young johnson with him, trying to
assist him to make his escape into
Che mountains OF Georgia; that he
had the young man concealed at the
house of Mr.. Harris. They had
narrowly escaped arrest in East
Tennessee, and hadn't time to get
get money to bear expenses and
he had called on Mr.. Doak, at the
request of the ex-President, for
money, saying it would require a
thousand dollars to make the trip.
and they only had two hundred and
seventy-fiye. His narration of the
event, like electric fire, thrilled every
nerve and warmed the generous but
too confding heart of Mr.. Doak.
His personal and political associa-
tions with the ex-President in the
past were called afresh to his. recol-
lection, and, without hesitation he
said: ''Yes. you can have that
much, and more if you need it."
He also wanted good travelling
horse to aid him in his escape with
young johnson. Early next morn
ing two fine horses were saddled,
and by sunrise Mr.. Doak and the
railroad man were knocking at the
bank door in Lebanon. The money
was at once drawn out by Mr. Doalx
and handed over to the idroit schem-
er. The money, a fine mare, saddle,
bride and fine talma were freely
turned over to him for the sake of
young johnson, and he went his way !;
and Mr.. Doak rejoiced to think he
had conferred a favor on the son of
his former true friend and associate.
The thief, by travelling a circuit
GUS route of about eighty miles in
twenty four hours, found the animal
exhausted, aed in order TO make his
escape, tied up the mare in the
woods in this county, and left signs
indicating the murder Of some one.
and made his escape on foot through
the forest. Mr. Doak now has his
mare and equipage. which he receiv-
ed at the hands of Mr.. Fuller, and
has returned home a wiser but a
poorer man, and we hope justice will
soon overtake the smootk-tongued
villain who has SO egregiously duped
him.

tute for the manner in which they
performed their duties. the gentle

for their music, the citizens of Nor

members of the M. Il. Church South

In fact, the members of the Insti-
tute were in such excellent humor
with themselves and all the world,
that they seemed disposed to thank
every body they conld think of.
Tins ended one of the most success
fnl educational meetings ever held
in East Tennessee. 1t will give the
school interest an impetus that will
be felt. Such meetings of the edu-
Gators of the land, will be productive
of much good. Each teacher will
return to his work with a higher op-
inion of his profession. and with a
stronger determination to prepare
himself thoroughly for the discharge
Of the grave responsibility resting
upon him. We thank Col. Trous-
dale for appointing this meeting
among us, and must express our ex-
treme regret that circumstances pre-
vented his being present.
