RIVER PIRATES.
Tliey Attempt rs Wholesale slobbery, but
are frustrated by Vlsllauce One of
Them Meets his Ueutb, and Another is
Kadly Injured.
The pirates of our river, disdaining any longer
the perpetration of petty tbetls, concluded on a
grand naul at once, and last night made the
Attempt. With what success the soquel shows.
Quick retribution met them.
Between 8 and 9 o'clock two boats were ob
served rowing up Frankl'ord creek. They drew
quietly in shore at the foundry near the Arsenal
at White Hall. The men in them then debarked
and moved away towards tbe latter building.
The officers of the Arsenal having frequently
missed quantities of pig lead of late, and judging
that the river pirates bad camed its disappear
ance, set a watch last mgbt in order to catch
the thieves if they made another attempt. Tae
entry was instantly on tbe alert. Every pre
caution bud been taken to insure their detection
and apprehension.
Consequently, when tbe fellows landed from
their bouts they were at once seen by the sentry.
As soon as they had proceeded some fifty yards
up the bank, moving in the darkness, he hailed
them. Receiving no reply to his challenge he
fired, as did alto Msjor Beebe, who was standing
by his side. Without waiting to learn the result
of their shooting, tbe two then rushed towards
tbe approaching pirates. SeeiDg them coming,
tbe latter tamed and precipitately fled. The
sentry captured one, however, who afterwards
gave tbe name of John Miller.
Others of the fellows plunged into the creek
in the endeavor to swim across. Reaching the
shore the Major and tbe tetitry again called
apon them, ordering them to return. No atten
tion being paid to this demand, the Major fired
a second time, aiming at one of tbe escaping
swimmers. The ball was true to its mark, and,
throwing npbis bands, the mau sank below tbe
water. Another man was evidently badly
wounded, for, still pursuing them, tbe Major,
crossed the creek and iound upon the opposite'
bank a trail of blood. This he followed to a
building used as a barrel factory, but there lost
it, and could not discover the blecdiug fugitive.
The others escaped.
At th mouth of tbe creek a sloop was found
anchored. This, and three yawl-boats were
captured.
It was manifest that tbe robbers had come in
the sloop to the place where it was found an
chored, and thence hid proceeded In tbe small
boats to the Arsenal. Had tbey succeeded in
their attempt, they could have carried oil a large
and valuable quantity !' l-al.
Mercantile Library. The application for
an alteration of tbe charter of the Mercantile
I'lbiary Company was granted by the Court of
Omtuon 1'leas, cu the28th uf August. The vote
of the stockholders upon this amendment was a
real erophuttc one, sad It is hoped that it will be
accepted as a tiuullty by all tbe member, and
that there will be a heHrty co-operation with the
Jkiaid in pushing 1orard the new building

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
Washington, Sept. Jl. At half-past 10 o'clock
this morning the Committee of the Tennessee
Legislature, composed of W. H. Wise well, or
the Senate, and Thomas A. Hamilton and J. II.
Agee, of the House of Representatives, called
upon the Presidebt for the purpose of laying
befoie him a petition calling for United States
troops to preserve order iu the State. Mr.
Wlsewell read the address to the President.
It starts out with tbe statement that the com
mittee was appointed by the Legislature now in
session for the purpose of laying before the
President an account of the condition of affairs
in Tennessee. The Legislature, now in .extra
session, was called together by Governor Brown
low that it might pass laws calling out troops
for the protcctien of the people against the Ku
Klux Klan. That there is such an organization
in the South as this is demonstrated by the best
proofs. It is estimated that in Tennessee alone
It numbers some 40,000 members.
The address then goes into the details of the
operations ot tbe Ku-Klux. These fully cor
roboiate the statements which havo appeared
fiom time to time in the newspapers. Shooting,
baDging, and whipping are all favorite modes
by which the ex-Rebels persecute the Union
men, white and black. The operations of the
Ku-klux are carried on in the night, aud so
extensive is the organization that outrages are
simultaneously committed in different parts of
tbe State. Although tbe Klan makes little dis
tinction in its visit to Union men, its enmity
seems mostly directed against the negroes.
Many of these, who were employed on planta
tions tor a year with the understanding
that they should get a part of the crop, have
been forced to flee for their lives, leaving the
result ot their labors behiud them. Lynch law,
as a matter of course, prevails to a great extend,
and the courts are powerless to deiend the
supremacy ot the law. Nearly all the members
ot tbe Ku-Klux are- ex-rebel soldiers, though
tbe Committee state with pleasure that some of
the ex-rebel officers and soldiers disapprove of
the organization. Many of the Ku-Klux declare
tbe present State Government of Tennessee
Illegal, and boldly announce their intention of
resisting it.
When the present Legislature met in October
last tbcv were disoosed to be liberal, and in a
emrit of liberality substantially repealed the
military law passed by their predecessors, in the
hope that the proiessious maete oy the Demo
crats would render soldiers unnecessary. In
tbis tbey regret to eay they have been mistaken,
for no sooner was tbe law repealed and the
soldiers discharged, than the Ku-Klux sprang up
in Tennessee aud commenced their midnight
depredations.
the Committee aked the President to take
steis to give protection to the law-abiding citl
zona ot Tennessee under the provisions of the
Constitution of tbe United States. This they
do, cot because they believe that the State
authorities are nnable to suppress tbe Ku-Klux.
and protect tbe Union citizous, but because the
legislature aeems it ueiter to nave f ederal
troops. The lntter are preferred to militia,
because they have no personal likes or dislikes
to influence them, nor would they bo subject
themselves, after discharge from tbe service to
wrongs and outrages for having been in the
Btate service. The Ku-Klux threaten that no
election shall be held in the counties of the
Slate where tbey have the power to prevent it.
They have already warned numbers of
Union men that tbey shall not be sllowed to
vote, unless they vote the Democratic ticket.
The Legislature hoped that the numbers of the
Ku-Klux Klan would decrease and their out
rages be diminished, in this they were mis
taken. It bad delayed action in expectation
that the efforts oi certain proniiuent men, lately
of the Confederacy, would be successful in
breaking up the Ku-Klux; tbey are. however.
on the increase ail over the Btate, and nothing
is now left but to resort to the free use of
trooos.
The address concludes thus: "We therefore.
on behalf of tbe Legislature of Tenuessee,
respecuuuy urge mat you send, as
early as practicable a sufficient Federal
force to that State to aid tbe civil authorities to
act with them In suppressing these wrongs and
bringing to trial the guilty parties; giving as
sural. ce to all that law will be enforced, crime
punched, and protection extended to such
officers and citizens as may attempt to execute
the laws or prevent their violation. The Legis
lature of Tci nes ee, in sending us to make this
request, did so upon the ground that she is part
ot the great American Union, contributing to
tbe support of tbe common Government, enjoy
ing us ucneuia una oiesings, ana mat mey are
askiDg of the Government of tbe United States
that which tliey be.ieved they had a right to
ask under the Constitution.
The iuterview between the President and the
committee Irom the Tennessee Legislature lasted
for over an hour. Representatives of the press
were excluded at the request of the President.
and themvmbersof thecommittee were enjoined
to sociesy. They state, roever, that they were
kindly received, and they seem to feel encouraged
Tbe matter will be laid before tbe Cabinet
to-dHy, and the committee are to have another
interview with the President to-morrow, when
he will give tbem a detlnite answer to their peti
tion wi troop-.
Ilimkley lMscnisen n Point with the
President.
Bleckley was at tbe White House again
this morning, and bad a long interview with
the President. lie presented his report, giving
the result of his visit to New York. The Presi
dent, It is understood, takes Binckley's side ot
the question, and is inclined to believe
his Btory as against all others. Bincklcy
says he was the victim ot a conspiracy
while in New York; that he was opposed
bv all the Government officials. who
combined with the whisky ring there to defeat
bis investigations, xne whisky ring be says
bnuebt ud everv Government ollicer. fmm thn

a-slt-tcd him. He is supported by the active

SEYMOUR.
111 Address Before the Saratoga Fair.
Yesterday Governor Seymour, in fulfilment of
an appointment maeie Detore his nomination
tor the Presidency, delivered the annual address
before the Saratoga County Agricultural Fair.
I have icen and known much ot mea of all oondi
tlonc I have listened to tae histories and the prayer
for pardon of tbe criminal lu bis cell. 1 have enjoyed
tbe intercourse of men marked tor their vlr.uei, their
abilities In high social and olUclal post. Ions. Beyond
mobtnienl have had a chance to study human na
ture In, all Its phases, and 1 do not hesitate to say as
one oMhe results ol a llle-long observation, that vir
tue, health, and happiness are best promoted by culti
vating a love oi nature. Us teachings, next to the
leacuiugs oi religion, uj most to oiase men wise aud
cod it n ltd here and hsppyherenf er. May wenoihope
that tbe taste tor rnra lite which once prevailed In
our land may be restored by a belter publio opinion.
aaa dj aiuaicious system oi eaucauon wmcn snail
aim at gaining that knowledge which Is needed by
our farming population. Tbe yonug men of our
country are crowding Into cities: they are leaving
tale, healthful, and useful pursuits for the specula
tive chances of town life. In too many Instances
iIlbt make miserable failures, and shlDwreck haulm
and character. Tbe practice whloh prevails among
our successful farmers of selling their lands and
moving into cities ana vwegej, Uues a double mis
chief. JtBirlDJ the rural districts of their aiMiimn.
lU4(tapUal and deprives them of the wisdom aud
skill gained by long experience. The double drain of
IDS yuuug nuu iwuroi oo nun buo uiu KUU WttNlluy,
is liurtiul to the moral tone, aa well as to the materia!
fiower of the agricultural Interest. It weakens the
i.lluence ot tbe gieatest industrial pursnlc or our
land, the one upon wblch the prosperity ot all others
Is basest, it is our amy men, not only to urge mea
sures which will rrake farming proUUble, but also
thote which will make couutry life attractive, It
must be lined up and made an Intellectual profes
sion. It most nut be sshamed, but it must besought
as a mode of life which gives not only Just reward
la labor, bat honor and Influence In our snnlal
and political system. We fled a great diversity of
taste among civmzeu nations. iuv are tne results
of education and publio opinion. Our tastes and
bablta sfcould be made to conform to the condition of
our couutry. uur cnierweaitn is inourlaada. Our
growth in greatness depercs upon our bringing Into
nee our vast uncu'tlvated domain, those tastes and
bablta wblch lead our people toluro their backs uoa
country life are hurtful to ear prosperity. The sys
tem of education wblch talis to give Intel-
itctoai tlnierest sua mental activity to rural pur-
lulls. Is not well directed, and does not meet tne
wat is and conditions ot tbe American people. We
must bavea bssls of political stability and business
nrosuerlty not only agricultural skill and mvchanlnal
inventions, but also tbe diffusion of that kind of
knowledte which makes our farmers and their fami
lies armor thnlr pursuits and love the rural scsnes
anjiast wntcu mey are cameo, on.
The Society is In no degree partisan, and Gov
ernor Seymour in his address carefully ab
stained from anything that could possibly be
construct! into a reierence to political issues.
Tne aauress at rne same piace last year was
delivered by Horace Greeley. Immediately
upon reaching his room Goveruor Seymour was
serenaaeo. Alter m ny cneers ior Mr. Seymour,
