BROKEN LINKS or A BRILLIANT
CIRCLE

The death of Andrew johnson has
given rise to much reflection. and it is
startling to sum up the dead Of the bril-
liant circle that surrounded the great
commoner' when he was president.
Browning, one Of his private secretaries,
remarkable for his accomplishments and
namely beauty, shut himself up in
room and drank himself to death. Colo
mel johnson, son of the president, died
prematurely-himself his only enemy.
Slade. the door-keeper at the executive
mansion. died while Mr.. johnson was
still in office. Preston King. who was at
one time an inmate Of the White
House. and firm friend 10 Mr.. johnson,
committed suicide in a temporary fit of
insanity.
VIM. II. Seward. MIR. Johnson's Snre-
tary Of state; and MIR. Stanton, both died
long since. Salmon r. Chase, who pre-
sided over the impeachment trial; and
two of the associated justices, are resting
from the labors Of the world. Greeley,
Raymond. Bennett. and Frank Blair. all
prominent men during the days of Mr.
Johnson's presidential term, are mum.
bered among the great dead Of the Uni
ted States.

language OF the editor of the Monitor.
Why do not the editors of Williamson
speak out boldly and make crusade
against the assassns and agitaiors? Be-
cause they fear to do it. The terrible
warnings in. the death of the victims Of
the vendetta and the Ku-kluX are suili-
cicnt to cause any man who values his life,
to keep his mouth shut. We know this to
be fact, for We have been

nec,ed with the troubles. They all ac-
knowledge the state of affairs to be such
that would warrant the Interference of
the governor. as the officers of the law

the prosecution OF the criminals. Editors
and correspondents who tell the people
of the State that murder after murder
has been committed In Williamson, and

THE RETRAYER,

The be!rayer Of the Ku-kluX in Frank
lin county is a blacksmith named vii
liam Jacobs. Circumstances forced hin
TO become u member Of the Khan, but sud
denly he revealed all to the fearless Ho
gan, and the result OF that revelation has
not yet fully eliminated. Jacobs lived
on the edge of Crawford's prairie; had
heard OF the weird-ooklng men who
rode through that neighborhood, but
being an industrious and quiet man, kept
close TO his home and forge. night and
day. Much work had accumulated on
his hands, and one night he was blow
ing his bellows industriously. when in
the broad glare of the white light that
stretched fan-like from the door of his
shop he saw what lie drcaded-the white
robed Ku-kluX, mounted and drawn up
In line before his shop. A deep sonorous
voice, said
civilian Jacobs, come forth"
He walked out OF his shop and stood
before them, q dim light yet pickering
from the forge.
civilian Jacobs, Dance
He protested that he did not know how
to dance, and tremblingly asked to be eX-
cused-saying he would do anything else
to please them.
"Dance, William Jacobs - again stern
ly spoke the leader.
The modest, sooiy smith, with leather
apron encasing his form from shoulders
to knees, commenced a shuttle that, in its
grotesqueness, rivaled Dan Bryants
tanned essence OF old Virginia.
"Stop! William Jacobs, you are bad
dancer. Return to your bellows
With perspiration rolling down his
cheeks, and fear depleted on his face, he
returned to the forge, and again sparks
flew high, and with every pulsation OF
the bellows the weird forms of the mo.
tionless Ku-kluX were wildly revealed
stop. William Jacobs, you are bet
ter dancer than blacksmith. Come
FORTH"
Again Jacobs stood before his persccu
tors,
Dance"
This time he did not hesitate but witt
look Of fear and evident mortidcaiio
commenced double shuttle, saying
SNOW, boys-this amt rhythm,

At this point, recollection Of his boy
hood trolics evidently came upon him
for he folded his arms and glided into
waltz.
"You knew'I couldn't dance-and Nv

Here he cavorted of into a highlan
