MACON, FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1868.
To Correspondents.—Wc are in rccefpt
of a large number of communications, com
iug from nearly all sections of the State,
suggesting a course to be pursued in view of
the dcclinntion of Judge Reese. It is impos
sible for US to make room for them, but all
shall bo laid before the Executive Committee
at its approaching meeting. Wc may state
that the general tenor of these documents
uncompromising opposition to the Radical
party and policy, and in favor of running ‘
straight out-and-out candidate, and usin
every effort possible for the defeat of tho pro
posed Constitution."
E3f"EIi R. Goodrich, a prominent citizen
of Griffin, died of pneumonia, on Wcdnes
day, after a brief illness.
The Yankees Struggling for Political
Rights-in Liberia.—Liberia is agitated by
tho suffrage question. At present, only those
possessing a very visible admixture of Afri
can blood aro admitted to citizenship ; but
a party has lately arrived which proposes, as
a measure of justice, to enlarge tho area of
freedom by enfranchising the down-trodden
white trash. The conservatives strongly op
pose so flagrant a departure from the ancient
landmarks of the Constitution, and contend
that there is no safety, socially and political
Jy, except in maintaining tho republic as it
was made by its founders—strictly a colored
man's government.
The Tallahassians aro luxuriating on
green peas and strawberries, and being sere
naded by maitins, the heralds of Spring.
Mulatto Oraksks.—Mrs. Stowe’s oran
ges on her Florida plantation are suffering
from a disease which gives them a dark
Drown color. It is confined to her plantation
and the immediate neighborhood.
Tho President, on tho 17th inst., re
viewed tho procession celebrating St. Pat
rick’s day, which passed in front of the White
House. The President, while viewing tho
procession, woro in tho button-holo of his
coat a piece of shamrock which was raised
in Lipierick county, Ireland. The fact cre
ated great enthusiasm among the Irishmen
True to its Word.—The Atlanta Opin
ion, some days ago, declared that if it could
bo proved that Bullock said lie wanted fifty
negroes in tho Georgia Legislature, it would
withdraw its support. The proof was fur
nished, and forthwith the name of Bullock
was hauled down.
Wc begin to have some hope for the stray
white men of Georgia.
A colored man of Memphis made a
speech the other doy, in which he said be had
often heard that the Radicals had stood by
the colored men. He didn’t sec it in that
light, but thought they had rather stood by
the offices and tho spoils.
The Reconstruction Conventions of
North and South Carolina adjourned on the
17th inst. The Conservative members of the
former Convention refused to sign the Con-
BVliutluu finuicO, cuid itlireil Irum tile ball,
fg* Advices from Virginia state that the
■Conservatives have made extraordinary exer
tions in registering, and 20,000 new names
havo been added to tho list. They claim
power to vote down the Constitution.
How trey Stand.—As Gov. Brown and
other demagogues aro trying to make a lit
tle capital out of the false allegation that
the present Democratic party of Georgia is
controlled by old Whigs, wo have only to
refer to tho list of the State Central Commit
tee to put a quietus upon the fraud. It is
composed of fifteen members, of whom ten
wore Democrats and but five Wbigs in the
issues of other days. So much lor this
shallow device.
ESr* We learn from the Monroe Advertiser
that Gen. John B. Gordon will address the
people of that county, at Forsyth, Saturday
next. •
From the same paper wc learn that the
rcsidenco of Josiab Freeman, at Indian
Springs, was destroyed by fire on Thursday
last.
Freioiit on Coal.—It will bo seen that
the State Road has reduced its freight on
coal to 1 1-2 cents per mile per ton. A cor
responding reduction on the Macon & West
ern Road will make coal the cheapest fuel to
be obtained by our manufacturers and citi
zens generally.

Rich mono. March 2>.—In Convention a resolution
I was introdneed appointing a committee to inquire

Tho President retains tho right to add to this an

mfcDy years ago by the connection of his

fore their consummation.
Mr. Stephens on Negro Suffrage.—
While Hon. A. H. Stephens was sojourning
in Washington, recently, a correspondent
of the New York Herald had a prolonged
interview with him, or proteases to have had,
and gives the following among other views
of pending public questions:
While lie disagreed as to the judiciousness
of granting universal suffrage tothenegro.be
was still in favor of granting the right in a
restricted sense. He thought by fixing some
standard, to attain which would accord the
electoral franchise, would establish a premi
um upon merit and kindle a necessary ambi
tion to self-improvement, and while thus pro
tecting the right of suffrage from abuse, it
would place it in tbo hands of those who
know, at least in a measure, its value, and how
to employ it. Now it is a right which any
one can demand, and thus common, it is
treated as a weapon of offence against order
and good society.
Such, we feel assured, were the views of a
large portion of the scnsiblo men of the
South after emancipation, and doubtless the
people geuerally would have acquiesced in
that reasonable solution of the question of ne
gro suffrage. But the North would hear to
nothing short of universal suffrage nmorig
on ignorant and semi-barbarous race, and
bunco the South was never allowed an oppor
tunity of doing for the negro what she would
cheerfully have done.

Many and various were this conjectures as to where

somo were disposed to treat tho wiiolo thing os a hoax,
by far the larger portion of those that read it were
inclined to see in it the work of that secret order
which under tho style of Ku-Klux Klan has ariJen
in Tennessee, and whose mysterious acts and doings
got up such a scare upon Gen. Thomas, the Com

Grant thought otherwise, theKlan is still inexistence,

Something Sew In Photography.
Riddle seems to keep thoroughly posted in all tho
improvements in his beautiful art. Wo saw at his
new gallery, yesterday, something very neatl and
pretty, and entirely now in this section of country. I roads leading into town, entered Columbia and-pro-
It was tho photograph of a little girl, taken in I cecding to the jail about half-past 10 o’clock, forced
this strange Klan. and their still stranger doings:
It seems that tho greator portion of tho peoplo in
and around Columbia were disposed to treat the ex
istencc of such an organization ns a myth—their acts
having been confined to the whipping and "rcgulat
ing” of sundry notorious characters throughout tho
country—and it was not until the latter part of Feb
ruary that their unbelief became certainty, and their
derision changed to terror.
On the evening of Friday, tho 2sth of February last,
a yonng man by the name of John Bickncll, residing,
in Maury county, was met on the road between
Mount Pleasant and Waynesboro, in Lawrence, by an
unknown man murdered and robbed of money, horso
and pistel.
The murderer was pursued night and day by six
determined young men, and overtaken and arrested
within eight miles of Shelbyvllio on tho following
Sunday, brought back and lodged in jail at Colum
bia.
On the same dny, the people of Columbia were
startled by the appearance of a band of mysteriously
shrouded and impenetrably disguised horsemen, who
joined the funeral cortege of the murdered man, and
who after certain mysterious ceremonies at the grave,
knelt around it with uplifted hands and vowed ven
geance upon his slayer. They disappeared as silently
as they had came.
On Monday night, the 2d of 3Iorch, a body of armed
and disguised horsemen, variously estimated at from
75 to 150 men, after throwing out pickets on all tho
fancy stylo, and printed on tho album paper, bat
which hy a process but little understood, had been
colored in oil—thus rendering it as enduring as an old
stylo oil painting, and every bit ps attractive. It was
the work of Mrs. R, nnd reflects much credit upon tho
artistic genius ofithat lady.

Only a Handkerchief*
It was only alittlo bit of a nose-rag that got the fair
Desdcmona into such a terrible scrape with that
dark-visaged fellow, Othello; and it was only several
handkerchiefs that led one Whit. Barker, a poor,
sickly-looking white youth from the country, to tho
Hotel de Taylor, escorted by officer Collins, where he
will have to wipo away the tcars of repentance upon
his jacket or shirt-sleeves, for want of a faco-wipe.
Whit., it seems, had just wit enough about him to
play tho foolish rogue. Sauntering into tho dry
goods establishment of Mr. S. T. Coleman, on Satur
day last, while the store was fall of customers, ho
walkod around until he became suddenly enamored
of some bright-colored handkerchiefs, which he trans
ferred, as he thought, unseen to an insido pocket of
hia jacket.
But one of the clerks had an eye upon him; over
took him near the door; and when on asking him for tho
‘‘handkerchief! the handkerohiefl” unlike Desde-
mona, the rogue quietly handed them over, and was
as quietly taken to tho Guard-house. Guess Whit,
will use his fingors first, before he steals another hand
kerchief.

A colored youth sauntering around in a st te of
looseness and do-nothingnees, fell in love with a pair
of shoes hanging near the door of M. S. Meyer's shoe
the jailor to deliver his prisoner, and tying his hands,
mounted him in front of ono of the band, when they
proceeded at a slow trot out of town. Entering a
denso grove of cedars, on tho banks of Duck river,
tho prisoner managed to get his hands loose, throw
himself from the horse, and by rolling and tumbling,
found himself in that stream, which ho swam, and
took refuge in a house on the opposite bank.
Here be was recognized and returned to the Colum
bia jail on the fallowing day—Tuesday—and the same
night again taken from tho jail, taken to tho woods
and hung—his body being found tho next morning
hanging to a whito oak tree, about one mile south of
Columbia.
The Grand Cyclops, K. K., addresses a note to tho
editor of the Columbia Herald, wherein hestatesthat
before being executed the man confessed to tbe inur-
der-r-stating that he had shot young Bicknell twice;
that ho was from Nowburg, (Nowberry, we suppose,)
South Carolina, and that ho richly deserved tho fato
that overtook him. Uc gave his name at one timo as
J. M. Walker, and again as James Pitts.
This affair has created the profoundest astonish
ment throughout that section of Tennessee, and while
all admit that the murderer richly deserved his fate,
yet many deplore the illegal means employed in his
sudden taking off. This is about all wo know of tho
organization at present.
Whether the placards we have mentioned fore
shadow the formation of a similar Klan in our midst,
we have no means of ascertaining just yet. Who
knows but that it will bo got up as a counterblast to
the Loyal Leaguors, which the renegade whites and
bought-up colored leaders are now endeavoring to
revive in the interest of tho Yankee Bullock. Time

denly recollecting that he had a pressing engagement
aomowherc else, he did not tany to see if they were a
fit, but footed it briskly down Seoond street. His
actions had been observed, however, by a gentleman,
who informed Officer Hurley of the fact. Hurley
started in pursuit, overhauled and captured the thief
with his booty, and lodged him in jail.
