K’s.: Dear Cy : I have that reverence for truth and honesty and love for the good cause in which we are engaged, that lam reluctantly constrained to call your attention to the deplorable state of the organization in this locality. Our immediate representative and dearly beloved and confidential brother and Grand high priest—the editor of the Ku-Klux organ of this city—has so long aud so faithfully, deliberately, basely, wil fully and openly lied to the good brethren that they can no longer believe anything he tells them ; as proof of that, 1 say there stands daily in that infernal Radical organ, the Republican, a bet of S2OO that Grant will beat our Seymour, and none of our good brethren will dare take the bet, and yet our high priest and good editor tells us daily that the bet is a good one. For God t .sake issue a General Order that the Brethren take up this bet, if in no other way let us have it by subscription ; put me down for ten dollars, for its doing the cause a deal of harm. Something must be done or the bottom will surely fall out. Your humble brother, Young Cy. Advertisement. K. K. It. Radway’s Regulating Pills arc composed of. vegetable extracts (prepared in VaCUu), free from all inert, crude, or irritating sub stances. The first dose commences its work ol purifying the blood, regulating the liver, cleansing the stomach and intestines, aud purging from the sjjtctu all acrimonious and corrupt humors. One pill, taken two hours before dinner, will create a good appe tite and insure a healthy digestion. Bile. — Bile on the stomaqh will be elimi nated by one dose of the pills—say from four to six in uumber. When the liver is in a ■ torpid state, nothing can be better than Rad way’s Regulating Pills. They purge easily, are mild iu operation, aud when taken are perfectly tasteless, being elegantly coated with gum. They are recommended tor the cure of all disorders of the stomach, liver, kidneys, nervous diseases, indigestion, dys pepsia, biliousness, bilious fever, inflamma tion of the bowels, piles, and symptoms resulting from the disorders of the digestive organs. The Aged suffer from cosliveness and paralysis of the bowels, and may have to use injections to keep the bowels open. Take two to four of Radway’s Pills every night; in a few weeks the bowels, liver, kidneys, etc., will be restored to sound health and strength—a regular discharge from the bow els will be secured daily.

There was a torch-light procession. The meeting was addressed by General Gordon and others. Gordon made a powerful speech.

Washington, September 27. In Nash ville yesterday, the municipal election went off' quiet. Alden was elected Mayor by five hundred and twenty majority. Both candidates are Republicans, though the Democrats voted for Thornburg. Washington, September 29. —Infantry have just left for Nashville. The prosecution against Surratt will probably be continued. There is semi-official gos.ip regarding Mr. Davis' trial. Mr. Evarts will take no active part. Mr. Evart’s originally sug gested-Mr. Dunn as the proper person to load in the prosecution. Governor Wells, Virginia, continues to take active interest in the prosecution as a lawyer. Tbe im pression prevails in official quarters that there will be no trial. Commissioner Rollins has left the city for two weeks. Tire New York Herald says, editorially: “The Governor of Alabama is certainly not far wrong in his notion that more national troops are unnecessary in, that State. The presence of fifty thousand soldiers in Ala bama would not be so effective in keeping the peace, as the Camilla fight will prove. Now that the whole history of that event is seen, it is undeniably dear that the niggers provoked tbe disturbance. They inarched, with their radical leaders, with music and arms, into a quiet town, comporting them selves in tin offensive manner, making a bullying expedition, and the ineuace of their conduct was such as if it were real. Niggers will see by this example that it is not yet safe to bully white men, and that will pre vent collisions. ’ ~The Alabama delegation had two hours interview with the President to-day, during which they presented their documents and had a free conversation. Another inter view has been fixed for to-morrow, when the Secretary of War will bo present, and the President’s answer communicated. In the meantime parties to the interview consider themselves Itound to silence re garding details.

In the House, a bill was introduced, which passed to its third rending and referred to the Judiciary Committee, entitled “an act to enforce the provisions of the 13th article of the Constitution of Louisiana," which is almost identical with the equality hill just vetoed, excepting that it makes infractions thereof a cause for civil action, and gives preference on docket to suits brought under its provisions.
