WADE HAMPTON.


Hon. Wade Hampton, Ne,o York:
S1R-Your note of the 18th iu-
slant is received, in which you inquire
whether at a conference held by the
National Republican Committee at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, I
used language attributed to me as
follows: "And now you are asked to
surrender all you have done into the
hands of Wade Hampton and the Ku
Klux and the little segment in the
North that is called the Democratic
party" In reply, I have to advise
you that while I do not remember
the precise language, I presume the
reporter correctly stated, in 2 con-
densed way, his idea of what said.
I no doubt spoke of you as leading
representative of the Democratic par
ty in the South, and referred to the
Kr Klux Klan as representative of
the barbarous agencies by which The
Democrats have subverted the civil
and political rights Of the Republi-
cans of the South.
| did not connect you. personally
with the Ku Klux Klaus. Indeed,
I know you had, in one or two impor-
tapt Instances, resisted and defeated
its worst impulses. I appreciate the
sense of honor which makes you
shrink from being named il eonnee-
ton with it. Still, you and your as,
sociates, leading men in the South,
| now enjoy the benefits of the political
| uower derived from the atrocities Of
the Ku Klux Klan, in which phrase
! I include all the numerous aliases by

Hampton and the Ku-Klux and the
little segment in the North that is
called the Democratic party" May /
ask if you used these words, and, if
you did so, did you mean to connect
me directly or indirectly with what is
known as the Ku Klux Klan? Re,

me in care of August Scbell, ESD,

CoLoRED MEN RETURNING FROM
1NDIANA.-A dispatch from Alexan.
dria, Va, says: "For the past two
days squads of negroes have been ar
irving in this city from Indiana.
Friday morning company of ten
arrived. Those arriving did not lies
itate to say that their passage to In
diana from North Carolina had been
paid by gentleman from the North,
and that shey had left their native
State short time previous Oh the
condition that ttey would not be re-
quired to remain away from their
homes more than as-menth. The
spokesman of the party said that a
mau from the North came to North
Carolina about six weeks ago and en-
gagged number Of men to work in In
diana, promising to pay their railroad
fare to that State !; that they went to
Indiana and were stationed in a coun-
try district, where they staid ard voted
the Republican ticket last Tuesday,
for which they received a months
pay; that they had been granted a
furlough upon the promise to return
in two weeks. Both parties seemed
to be ignorant of the purpose for
which they had been transported to
Indiana, and were elated at the man
ner in which they had been treated.
They expressed the opinion that on
their return to Indiana they would be
accompanied by large nup'ber of the
colored people Of their neighborhood,
as they had been informed by gentle,
men in Indiana that there was work
in that State for all they could bring
along with them"

LOVES REPENTANCE.

Love came knocking gently knocking
At the portals of my heart,
And beseeched me their unlocking,
For a secret he'd inpart;
Bus laughed to scorn his greeting
And regretted not the heeting
Of his bafaed steps retrea ting
On their way.
Then again a message brought he,
Knocking gently as before,
And with conrtly tones besought me
Yet opened not the door.
Mildly cniding my denying,
And my cool reserve decrying,
He, with low and mystic signing,
Turned away.
Soon the little tyrant shyly-
Without warning as before
Pulled the latch-string, and then slyly
Pushed aside the loosened door.
Though my heat was near relenting,
And felt 'twould bring repenting, "
Yet would not, by consenting.
Love today.
Could catch him and securely
Tie his little wicked wings,
Iwould kneel to him demurely,
Tho know they say he stings-
That is he, know his knocking,
Twill hasten the unlocking.
All, the little trif1er, mocking.
Flies away!

, A DEFECTIVE OUTwITTED,-The
following story is almost too good
to be true: % A certain railway
company suspected that they
were being defrauded by passen-
gers travelling without tickets, so
a detective was sent to travel on
the trains. One day he heard, q
passenger remark that it was very
easy to 90 from Dayton to Moor
field without a ticket. The detec-
tive watched his man closely, and
was surprised to find him hand q
proper ticket to the conductor. ,,.,
Entering into conversation with
the passenger, the detective said:
Il should like to- know your
plan for travelling withouta ticket,
as l am a frequent traveller, and: |
don't mind giving you Sl.f for the
tip .-..-z. ~ s>.sas...

he pockcted the bill, he remarked
quietly, When I want to travel

which it has from time to time been
known in the South.
Your power in the Southern States
rests upon actual crimes, of every
grade in the code of crimes, from mur-
der to the meanest form of ballot box
stafing," committed by the Ku Klux
Khan and its kindred associates. : rs
you know, some Of the worst of them
were committed since 1877, when
you and they gave the most solemn
assurance of protection to the freed
men of the South. These crimes are
all aimed at the civil and political
rights of the Republicans in the South.
as I believe but for these; agencies
the very State that you represent, as
we'll as many other States in the
South, would be represented both
in the Senate and in the House
by Republicans: But for these crimes
the boast attributed to you, that ths
1873 solid Southern votes would be
cast for the Democratic ticket, would
be but idle; vaporing, but now we
feel that it is sober truth.
While I have no reason to believe
that you or your Northern associates
personally participated in the ofenses
I have. named, yet while you and
they enjoy the fruits of these crimes
you may in logic and morals be classed
as I classed you-as joint copartners
with the Ku Klux Klan in the policy,
which thus far has been successful, in
seizing the political power 10 the
South, and which it is hoped, by the
aid of the small segment oftbe Demo
cratic party in the North, may be ex
tended to all departments of the gov
eruuent. It is in this sense that I
spoke of you, the Ku Klux Klan and
the Northern Democratic party -
. Permit me, in conclusion, while
frankly answering your question, to
say that the most fatal policy for the
South would be, by such agencies as 7
have mentioned, to secure again the
political asceDdancy in this country,
for I assure you that the manhood
and independence of the North will
certainly continue to struggle until
every Republican ir the South shall
have free and unrestricted enjoyment
of equal civil and political privileges,
including fair votes, fair counts, free
speech and free press and the
agitation made necessary to secure
such results may greatly affect iu-
juriously the interests of the prople Of
the South. Very respectfully, your
obedient servant,
JOHH SHERMAN.
