Wo nuvc studiously avoided writing anything in connection with the Or¬ ganisation whose name is expressed in the captiim of this article. Wo have been under the impression that the least said about it would bo the best. To¬ day, however, another impulse strikes us,.an impulse that prompts us to raise our voice, in common with all peace- loving citizens, iu condemnation of the cowardly workings of the Ku Klux Klan. And it is time that this organ", ration should find a rebuke and a re¬ proach' for it in the mouth of every man, Democrat aud Republican alike. It is time that ev$ry citizen of this common¬ wealth should bring to bear all tho in¬ fluence he may possess, against a Klan that threatens our entire country with an avalanche of troubles and disasters. It is time thai the man whose soul lias one spark of chivalry in it, whose nature is nöt so basely ignoble as to sanction mid¬ night assassiuation, whoso life is roun¬ ded by the affections of wife and chil- ttron, made smooth by the felicitous ^oys of homo, should begin to think, and think soriously, what is to become of all these if tho dastard Ku Klux Klan should continue and grow in such pro¬ portions as to necessitate the getting up of universal counter organizations, such as are formed in North Carolina, r.nd, wc understand, iu Beat it and Charles* .ton, Counties in our own State ? We ask, what is to become oi these? Is this not a pertinent question ? Perhaps 'if our readers had a tnaro perfect reali¬ sation of the danger that threatens our country, they would answer,It is. Iu North Carolina tho colored people have beeu whipped, shot, killed and so often inhumanly treated by this that for the prescrvatioiL^tTf*^their own lives, humlrcds^Ktiicm .have banded ^gfilJief^i^^rcüriiü to the swamps, there *^to fiud security from the violences of the , Ku Klux. And what is the eonsequeii- 'ceaT ' Perfectly plain. They haVo to 4Hr& HoW do they cöt it ? The question will answ er itself. Of coarse they have no mercy, and tn..kc no discrimination between any of the white citizens, and who8evcr house is tho most convenient to them, when they get out of provis¬ ions, why, as a matter of course, a raid is mndu upon it, and its contents takon off tu their camps. Their raids are made upon the innocent and unsus- pootiog as Well as the guilty. They seem determined not to starve. A lew nights ago a large hand of nc- vd ,*.¦»: grocs that were driven into tho swamps of of North Carolina, from fear of the Ku Klux, visited a house occupied )y a .family innocent, perhaps, of all com plicity with this Klan, and very likely opposed to their deeds of violence and blood, ami demanded that supper be*j prepared for tho crowd. The husband of the hoUHC was away, and his poor Wife and bonified children were alone. alone with a crowd whose fury was al¬ most demoniacal, because of the many wrongs inflicted upon them. This much- to-he-pitied and frightened woman, obey¬ ed tho command given her, propared supper For tuS i.;;i .. UUUgry band, after which she was told that it any information of their visit was given to the community, they should all per¬ ish ! Before leaving they took four hun¬ dred pounds of bacon, half barrel of {'our, and such other things as they could ' "find, leaving this unfortunate family, in all probability, entirely destitute. I'WJ ' i. . Now grand, brave and dauntless Cy¬ clops of North Carolina, where were you When all this work was being done? Echo answers, where ? Behold it; it is the legitimate fruit of your own mis- deeds. If this family is brought to pen- Ä,ury and want by this raid, you arc the responsible parties, oh, graud and noble avengers of the wrongs of the South. .luRight hero we could preach a sermon if Io«we thought it would do any good. Right ' here wc could show, if we had time, lw^hat: in;.tcad of secret violence being a benefit to our land, it is its most-to-be OS ,0''i .^dflfltyrod curse. Right here, if we had u A mind to, we could show that such or¬ ganizations have always been produc- tivo ot evil. But no will leave this for souio subsequent time. Wo only cite this instance to day, to illustrate an idea which wo desire to impress upon the minds of our people. + The! tho Ku Klus organisations have d^nj this Stato ouo particle of good, wo deny. That this preteuded chivulric do votioti to tho past glory of South Care linu, has rcauhed in relieving her of one binglo evil, wo also deny. On tho con¬ trary, we believe thut^it has been the tfruitful Bottrce of all her past troubles, and is tending to breed others of more gigantic proportions for tho future. And yet some of the gentry who are members of the Ku Klux, Hatter them¬ selves with the belief that all of great¬ ness and true manhood consist in the commission of tho hellish deeds ordered by this Klan. They think it bold, dar¬ ing, chivalrie in the extreme, to sneak upon a man in the dead, still hours of night aud butcher him like he was a hog, without a moment's warning. Chiv¬ alrie indeed! What a terrible mockery, a miserable misnomer it would be to ap¬ ply the word chivalry to the commission of such cow a idly acts ns characterize the performances of the Ku Klus? If we have a proper conception of the word chivalry, it means that bravery and manhood of spirit which prompts one to give to an enemy a fa r and honorable showing in u combat. Certainly it is a sinful abuse oft he term, to call midnight murder, chivalry. And further, knight Errantry, ns it is called, was originated for the purpose of redressing the grievances of (»man, not for tho protection of man, or for the purpose of foisting this or that party into power and position. But alas! modern ohivalry is expressed in tho word cowardice in its most miserable as¬ pect; in the killing and shooting ol old gray haired women and their children, been *o, forsooth, their husbands or fa¬ thers chanced to be Republicans. This" is modern knighthood. This the chival¬ ry of the present ngein^Sj^ujt*^^ na. r%yjs uo^tepgcrc'.thractcrized by that ¦generous, uoblo bravery, that true spirit of courage, which, even in dc.th, would shrink with horror from ihr idea of tak¬ ing the advantage of an antagonist. We shy that tlie purpose far which men iu other days donned the uniform of a knight, was for tho pr itection of tho weaker sex. The chivalry of to¬ day, whether gotten up for this object or not, most certn' dy does not accom¬ plish it. We believe that if it oontin ues to grow, and incroaso in terror to th nogroes, the female portion of our coun¬ try will be tho chief sufforors, because they are less able to flee from such bands as nrc now in existence in North Caro¬ lina. Wo are not writiug now just to fill up this paper. We are treating of a ques¬ tion, a fact, hard and terrible within themselves, and which will, sooner or later, become patent to every on », if the murders that are now btiug committed do not cease. It is a truth awful to think of. The mind almost involuntarily shrinks from .its contemplation. But it is so. ( If llhcro are many more murders commit¬ ted by tho Ku Klux organizat ion in this State, if many more deeds of violence arc enacted in this bloody style, it is good-bye to the peace of South Carolina. Now we know thereof we write.) And if thoro is ono who would strive Jo avoid this catastrophe, it is ourselves. See tho statn of affairs such nn event would give rise to. ('The colored people would quit their contracts, consequently the plow and hoe would liecossarily stop, and tak- to the swamps right in our midst.J In this event the crops of the present year would never rotno to maturity, be¬ cause there would be no one to work them, and the one of last year would bo taken at nights by these negroes, and carried into the swamps. It would be impossible to anticipate their attacks, for they might bo in fifty squads, and visit a bundled different places in one night And no one will doubt but that thus banded together, they will be as Bav and as heartless as the Ku Klux Klan has boon towards their rnccj Retaliation will be their whar-whoop, and frightful to bchoid will be the oonditon of our count rv. We are writing this after calm re¬ flection and tbrought. ( For weeks and k-wecks tho couutry papers have been crowded with Klu Klux notices. In fact we have bocii »u main of them in our exchanges, that our heart sickens at the idea. And these papers nil condemn tltc cowardly Work, and coun sei peace atid forbearance. But their advice, if real, sectuH to nvail nothing, it is set at naught, and frobh outrages uro committed al tuest daily. Now wc say there is a point beyond which endurance cease*! to bo a virtue, and it is otily be¬ cause we are convinced that tho colored people, in many portions of out .State, consider themselves at this point, that wc give these reflections to-day. Wc understand that several gentle¬ men of our County have received warn- ings already; not from us, but from the Ku Klux. Now we simply say to these, to be not alarmed, and pn pare yourselves for uny and all contingencies. fOrange- kburg County has borne thus farn repu¬ tation for peace and ibcdicnce to the law'* but if this fair record of hots is to be blackened by its iuiquites, we say sin is not Union or Spartnnburg County. We believe that all of Iilt best citizens would deprecate as seriously as wo would any outbreak of the kind iu her bordorsj We believe they would contribute their strength towards defending the name that this County has made for l..w and order. But it appears that tho counsels of these, the respectable citizens of our country, ore invariably disregarded by this Klan, and yet ail must bear and suff«. r For its sins. (We should regtet the doy that opens this bloody work in this County .N We say the negrocsarc prepared n'ful lucre is uo telling what will be the end, once the w< rk is fairly begun. - Once agnu/we cutroat every lover of I peace and good government ; of tho safety of society and life; ol t'ae spot less name of Orangcburg Comity; and who would eschew the dread cantas tropho that might befall us, to 1 ajjje-*\lTTri 1 voice againstjBs(>j>Uty*^d outlawry ; to cxerfipa; Tbetr influence in diseourauiii" »». a course that will give birth to crimes that will effectually desol ite ouv c mnlry.) We have wvttiou thus calmly, in thought, in sincerity and rcfleelit n. and we assert that there are dangers threat ing us. of which we do not droit"*.. The Democrats ol Mnntgosm ryt '< tj Ohio, held, a Convention a few days' t.g .. and put forth a new platform for the Bomocracy. Vallaudigham is at the head of it. Some papers style it the .new departure." Our ostoo::iod con¬ temporary,the Poiip Jin vlH{ says, in this plat i' inn. "There is tobe no regret for tho ; ist; and, to make the whole thi'r_' perfectly safe, doubtless as little ülusinu to it as possible. It is very lovely. Tlien all nrc to unite upon the ''living issues ul the day." That is. upon issues lorged out by the Republican party iu spii . of the tierce opposition of life Vnlliudigham- Dayton school. They are not only t<> unite ois these but they actually invite "all men of the Ecbublicu'i party who believe now upon tlto pro>e i| U'mi'i s as we [they] believe, to cooperate I'ul y :i:id ac¬ tively," Sic.

Wiihoul doubt (hoy lorgci this. The Ku Klux don't eociu to like the Ainetiduieiitsatid Recotistru .- lion. W hile tho Daytouitcs, in their most dulcet tones, say that ' everything in lovely, and tho polith 1 goose i.- oleva- led.' &., these Ku Klux tloii't hoar a word of it, and keep on whipping ami murdering Republican men, women and children. What will t he Dayton Meet¬ ing do with such a fact ns that? As for ourselves, we confess wo do not kie v. We are inclined to think to ;t a 1> inn erat even the highest up in "ways that are. dark." as Bret Harte would say, will be very considerably puzzled. ICven a Dayton Democrat would liavo to scm ch his head quite vigorously before making reply. Wo my, with all due respect to the Vallandigham school, (hut they may pass sut h rcsoluti -us as llioy please, and yet tlicro Ku Klux will he heard lurthor than the former in the next national campaign. Talk as tho) please about ac¬ cepting "the. live issues of ihc da*, frame whutcVcr platibrius they may. tho main questiou in that campaign will bo tho' conditio« of I ho Smith. How will Democrats meet this? Stubborn ns they are, how will they get along with this more stubborn thing '{ They talk about uccipting tho results of the war, about universal amnesty, nbout revenue and civil service reform, &c , but it will avail them nothing so long as a large portion of tho Democratic party net as if they were in sympathy with the Ku Klux. The Greenville (Ala ) .1 vacate, in an article entitled, ,:A word to our girls," lias the following : "Give us n .woman that Can ride n horse, shoot a gun, milk u cow, make sausages, cook dinner, wash n shirt, cut and make a coat, drive a nail, sing a song, play the piano, sling the pot, kick a dog', keep in a good humor under tri¬ als aud difficulties, do without a new bonnet, und not cry nor stay away from preaching if her husband happens to be short of fund** A dozen woman of this kind could all get husbands in Green¬ ville in le.-s than a week, and marry well. In fact the demand would be so great tiurl, should tho supply hold out, good marriageable young men would speedily all bo taken up." We venture the assert ion that if our friend, .'auies, was a sitlg'c man, and the young ladies in Greenville made a boast ol being able to do ;,il of the things mentioned in tho :;ln.ve extract, and, actually performed the otic haii'oi them, tliat he would not consider him¬ self a "marriageable young man," but would resolve to live the life of an olil bachelor. It w.ou'l do to get C r a wife a woman who is an expert ut so many things.

Wo nuvc studiously avoided writinganything in connection with the Or¬ganisation whose name is expressed inthe captiim of this article. Wo havebeen under the impression that the leastsaid about it would bo the best. To¬day, however, another impulse strikesus,.an impulse that prompts us to raiseour voice, in common with all peace-loving citizens, iu condemnation of thecowardly workings of the Ku KluxKlan. And it is time that this organ",ration should find a rebuke and a re¬

proach' for it in the mouth ofevery man,Democrat aud Republican alike. It istime that ev$ry citizen of this common¬wealth should bring to bear all tho in¬fluence he may possess, against a Klanthat threatens our entire country with an

avalanche of troubles and disasters. It istime thai the man whose soul lias one

spark of chivalry in it, whose nature isnöt so basely ignoble as to sanction mid¬night assassiuation, whoso life is roun¬

ded by the affections of wife and chil-ttron, made smooth by the felicitous^oys of homo, should begin to think, andthink soriously, what is to become of allthese if tho dastard Ku Klux Klanshould continue and grow in such pro¬portions as to necessitate the getting upof universal counter organizations, suchas are formed in North Carolina, r.nd,wc understand, iu Beat it and Charles*

.ton, Counties in our own State ? Weask, what is to become oi these? Isthis not a pertinent question ? Perhaps

'if our readers had a tnaro perfect reali¬sation of the danger that threatens our

country, they would answer,It is.Iu North Carolina tho colored people

have beeu whipped, shot, killed and so

often inhumanly treated by thisthat for the prescrvatioiL^tTf*^their own

lives, humlrcds^Ktiicm .have banded^gfilJief^i^^rcüriiü to the swamps, there

*^to fiud security from the violences of the, Ku Klux. And what is the eonsequeii-'ceaT ' Perfectly plain. They haVo to4Hr& HoW do they cöt it ? The questionwill answ er itself. Of coarse they haveno mercy, and tn..kc no discriminationbetween any of the white citizens, andwho8evcr house is tho most convenientto them, when they get out of provis¬ions, why, as a matter of course, a raidis mndu upon it, and its contentstakon off tu their camps. Their raidsare made upon the innocent and unsus-

pootiog as Well as the guilty. Theyseem determined not to starve.

A lew nights ago a large hand of nc-vd ,*.¦»:grocs that were driven into tho swamps ofof North Carolina, from fear of the KuKlux, visited a house occupied )y a

.family innocent, perhaps, of all com

plicity with this Klan, and very likelyopposed to their deeds of violence andblood, ami demanded that supper be*jprepared for tho crowd. The husbandof the hoUHC was away, and his poorWife and bonified children were alone.alone with a crowd whose fury was al¬most demoniacal, because of the manywrongs inflicted upon them. This much-to-he-pitied and frightened woman, obey¬ed tho command given her, proparedsupper For tuS i.;;i .. UUUgryband, after which she was told that itany information of their visit was givento the community, they should all per¬ish ! Before leaving they took four hun¬dred pounds of bacon, half barrel of {'our,and such other things as they could

' "find, leaving this unfortunate family, inall probability, entirely destitute.

I'WJ ' i. .

Now grand, brave and dauntless Cy¬clops of North Carolina, where were youWhen all this work was being done?Echo answers, where ? Behold it; itis the legitimate fruit of your own mis-deeds. If this family is brought to pen-

Ä,ury and want by this raid, you arc theresponsible parties, oh, graud and nobleavengers of the wrongs of the South.

.luRight hero we could preach a sermon ifIo«we thought it would do any good. Right' here wc could show, if we had time,lw^hat: in;.tcad of secret violence being a

benefit to our land, it is its most-to-beOS ,0''i.^dflfltyrod curse. Right here, if we hadu A mind to, we could show that such or¬

ganizations have always been produc-

tivo ot evil. But no will leave this forsouio subsequent time. Wo only citethis instance to day, to illustrate an ideawhich wo desire to impress upon theminds of our people.+ The! tho Ku Klus organisations haved^nj this Stato ouo particle of good, wo

deny. That this preteuded chivulric dovotioti to tho past glory of South Carelinu, has rcauhed in relieving her of one

binglo evil, wo also deny. On tho con¬

trary, we believe thut^it has been thetfruitful Bottrce of all her past troubles,and is tending to breed others of more

gigantic proportions for tho future.And yet some of the gentry who are

members of the Ku Klux, Hatter them¬selves with the belief that all of great¬ness and true manhood consist in thecommission of tho hellish deeds orderedby this Klan. They think it bold, dar¬ing, chivalrie in the extreme, to sneak

upon a man in the dead, still hours ofnight aud butcher him like he was a

hog, without a moment's warning. Chiv¬alrie indeed! What a terrible mockery,a miserable misnomer it would be to ap¬ply the word chivalry to the commissionof such cow a idly acts ns characterizethe performances of the Ku Klus?

If we have a proper conception of theword chivalry, it means that bravery andmanhood of spirit which prompts one

to give to an enemy a fa r and honorableshowing in u combat. Certainly it is a

sinful abuse ofthe term, to call midnightmurder, chivalry. And further, knightErrantry, ns it is called, was originated forthe purpose of redressing the grievancesof (»man, not for tho protection of man,or for the purpose of foisting this or thatparty into power and position. Butalas! modern ohivalry is expressed in thoword cowardice in its most miserable as¬

pect; in the killing and shooting ol oldgray haired women and their children,been *o, forsooth, their husbands or fa¬thers chanced to be Republicans. This"is modern knighthood. This the chival¬ry of the present ngein^Sj^ujt*^^na. r%yjs uo^tepgcrc'.thractcrized by that¦generous, uoblo bravery, that true spiritof courage, which, even in dc.th, wouldshrink with horror from ihr idea of tak¬ing the advantage of an antagonist.We shy that tlie purpose far which

men iu other days donned the uniformof a knight, was for tho pr itection oftho weaker sex. The chivalry of to¬

day, whether gotten up for this objector not, most certn' dy does not accom¬

plish it. We believe that if it oontinues to grow, and incroaso in terror to thnogroes, the female portion of our coun¬

try will be tho chief sufforors, becausethey are less able to flee from such bandsas nrc now in existence in North Caro¬lina.Wo are not writiug now just to fill up

this paper. We are treating of a ques¬tion, a fact, hard and terrible withinthemselves, and which will, sooner or

later, become patent to every on », if themurders that are now btiug committeddo not cease.

It is a truth awful to think of. Themind almost involuntarily shrinks from

.its contemplation. But it is so. ( Ifllhcro are many more murders commit¬ted by tho Ku Klux organizat ion in thisState, if many more deeds of violencearc enacted in this bloody style, it is

good-bye to the peace of South Carolina.Now we know thereof we write.) Andif thoro is ono who would strive Jo avoidthis catastrophe, it is ourselves. See thostatn of affairs such nn event would giverise to. ('The colored people would quittheir contracts, consequently the plowand hoe would liecossarily stop, and tak-to the swamps right in our midst.J

In this event the crops of the presentyear would never rotno to maturity, be¬cause there would be no one to workthem, and the one of last year would botaken at nights by these negroes, andcarried into the swamps. It would beimpossible to anticipate their attacks, forthey might bo in fifty squads, and visita bundled different places in one nightAnd no one will doubt but that thusbanded together, they will be as Bav

and as heartless as the Ku Klux Klanhas boon towards their rnccj Retaliationwill be their whar-whoop, and frightfulto bchoid will be the oonditon of our

count rv.

We are writing this after calm re¬

flection and tbrought. ( For weeks andk-wecks tho couutry papers have beencrowded with Klu Klux notices. Infact we have bocii »u main of them in

our exchanges, that our heart sickensat the idea. And these papers nilcondemn tltc cowardly Work, and coun

sei peace atid forbearance. But theiradvice, if real, sectuH to nvail nothing, itis set at naught, and frobh outrages uro

committed altuest daily. Now wc saythere is a point beyond which endurancecease*! to bo a virtue, and it is otily be¬cause we are convinced that tho coloredpeople, in many portions of out .State,consider themselves at this point, thatwc give these reflections to-day.Wc understand that several gentle¬

men of our County have received warn-

ings already; not from us, but from theKu Klux. Now we simply say to these,to be not alarmed, and pn pare yourselvesfor uny and all contingencies. fOrange-kburg County has borne thus farn repu¬tation for peace and ibcdicnce to thelaw'* but if this fair record of hots is tobe blackened by its iuiquites, we say sinis not Union or Spartnnburg County.We believe that all of Iilt best citizenswould deprecate as seriously as wo wouldany outbreak of the kind iu her bordorsjWe believe they would contribute theirstrength towards defending the name

that this County has made for l..w andorder.

But it appears that tho counsels ofthese, the respectable citizens of our

country, ore invariably disregarded bythis Klan, and yet ail must bear andsuff«. r For its sins.(We should regtet the doy that opens
