K inx-Klan—Dr. Harden Murdered in
the Presence of his Family—Over 150
Pistol Balls Fired into his Body.
The New York Tribune contains the following
fuller account of a tragedy already announced :
ATLANTA, Ga.„ March 14. —The Ku-Klux WSW
sins are again at work. Dr. George W. Darden,
I li
s highly respectable and weal citizen, and a
w 11-known loyalist of Warren county, had a
y I aonal difficulty some days sin which resulted
211 his ebootlng a man named Wa ace. editor of
the Ku-Klag journal at Warrenton. He istmedi
stelY surrendered to the civil authorities, and was
placed - in jail on Friday last. Sheriff Norris',
Searing Darden would be unsafe there, called on
the better class of citizens to act as a posse to
guard thetall over night, but the citizens declined
act. being , overawed , by a band of Ku-Slux
numbering aboutloo, who took Immediate pos
seesion of the town. They then demanded the
keys of the jail from the Sheriff, and on his re
fusal to deliver , them .their demonstrations be
came so violent that he was compelled to seek
safety in flight, taking , the keys with him.
The band then, at midnight, returned to the
jail, and broke into it. Fearing that Dar
den had a pistol, the cowardly assassins built a
Are at the doorway and , smoked hlm out. Dr.
Darden asked time to make a wilt which was
granted. He was then enout, and, In pres
ence of his wife and ehlldren,,barbarouslY tsar
dered by these savages, not less than one hun
dred and fifty pistol balls piercing his body. The
33heriff is now here, asking a military protection
for his county and his own life. Since the assas
sination of _the Sheriff . of Richmond county at
the,',November election, , this man Is th e
only Republican Sheriff left in the State.
An attempt was made to assassinate Darden last
September, and warrants wore obtained by ; him
against certain parties, which warrants were in
the hands of the present Sheriff for service, when
he (Norris), was waylaid and wounded in Decem
ber. Thenounty of Warren is the headquarters
of the Su-Klux for alit surrounding counties,
and it Is in this section that the out
raga and 'murders upon Republicans 'have
been most frequently committed. Application
has repeatedly and continually been made by the
c IviFauthorities to the military for protection
and. assistance in that section, but without avail.
Bow mneh longer must we wait for the organiza
tion Of a legal and loyal Legislature that will
pass laws to protect our lives, and which the.
military, under orders'of a loyal President, can
amid' In. carrying out?..

Items from salt` Lake City.
From late numbers of the Salt Lake City Re
porter we clip the following: -
MORMON CHARITY.
The disgusting feature of the Mormon system
is its utter want of charity. Let, a man leave
their church, or differ with them in doctrine,
though he do so ever so honestly , and eonscien
tiously, he at once becomes a target for all the
abuse a foul-mouthed priesthood can heap upon
him, while every epithet a vile fancy can sbggest
is applied even to his wife and children. Wo
would naturally think that woman's character
would be spared in a Christian country,
that a Church would at - least keep a
decent silence where it could not ap
prove. Bat let any woman withdraw from their
communion, or exercise her own God given judg
ment as to her faith and associations, and the
hounds of the Hierarchy will leave no words an
said .to blast her reputation forever.. No words
in the English language ere harsh enough to fitly
characterize the meanness of such warfare as
this; and yet It is just what is done in the case of
every young Mormon Isdy who thinksfor herself.
In one case within our knowledge, a lady of un
blemished life and purity, whose many virtues and
excellencies are undoubted, has been pursued for
years this magenta slander; till half of the
young Mormons of her former acquaintance are
led to believe that she wee ruined frOm the dsyshe
began to associate with the Gentiles. The Mormon
teachers have it in their power to ruin the repu
tation and often to blast the prospects Of almost
any young woman brought up among them; and
that they use this power cruelly, basely and un
justly is one, of the darkest stain' upon their so
cial system. •
A HEIWREVRIATION
SALT LAKE Corr, Feb. 22, 1869.—Editor
porter..—l 6 , seems to me Important 16 otnarcenll- --
este to yon a revelation - just reielved by one ...of ,
my iftWthort friends._ The man told ma in all
sincerity, that Joseph romithappeared to Mm fn
vision and declared with emphatic .words• that
Polygamy should be carried on heneeforth and
forever on the female elde oleo; thatis,- that any
Mururoa woman can take or have sealed to her
by theßigh` Priest of the Latter-daViaintt, as
many htusadri as she can *import, This
new revelation seems to, be on the principle that
spar israltop for_the Voider , Is mum for the
goose, and. to: my part, I believe , It consistent
the Mormon religion. Why not a woman
have a dozen husbands as well as a husband a
dozen wives?
Yours inquiringly.
SIGNS Od THE TIMER.
LBrigham Young has compered store-keeping
saints to paint an eye and a motto, "Holiness to
the Lord," oiler their shop doors.
.We do not believ e . is profaning the holy name
of God for the sake of filthy lucre. To paint a
representation of the Deity in the form of a man,
holding the lightnings in Ids right hand and a
"dumb watch" Wills left, La in our opinion ahnost
as bad as to stick "Holiness to the Lord" over
cheap calico and decayed codfish. Bat the
former has Ibis redeeming quality: it was put up
for amusement, it was meant to deceive nobody.
I t was a thoroughly honest "take off," while the
•k•bull's eye" sign is a profane swindle, a daring
attempt at blasphemy, cheating, hypocrisy / and
petty meanness all in one. 'lf God does inter
fare in the moral order of this world the proprie
tors of those swindling signs, will certainly be
cursed for inch nee ot•hls name. It is said in
fable that the pot occasionally Calla the kettle "a
olack thing." On the same principle our Mor
mon friends were quite indign ant
_ over the new
-ig n over the way. &vet al wished to tear it down
at once, but Bill Hyde forbade it, and his word
seemed - to be law with them. , - We are informed
the matter was laid before Brigham and thn.conn-
LI on Monday evening, and after afull and rather
-avage discussion, it was decided "to let the d—d
thing alone, for it was probably put up to cause
a fuss." We gladly hall this evidenee of return
ing reason on the part of the Hierarchy.
A WESTERN CITY.
The editor of the Reporter thus describes Con
nor City, a city of the 13aint:
The location of Connor City is high, dry,
healthy, and at the "head of navi,gation" •n Bear
river, or where the head will be when-the railroad
bridge is built. Whether the company will lay
out a town there is quite another question; the
public are referred to the "brethren" who have
the gifts of "divination" and "speaking in
tongues." The refinements have made little pro-
great at Connor; they have no bishop, and con
et quently no licensed saloon, theatre or harem.
There is no news-stand, post-office or barber shop.
The citizens wash in the river and comb their
hair by crawling throtigh tho, sage bush. ' A
private stage is rim from,inis place to Promon
tory, passing through Connor. The proprietor
calls it a Try-Wetkly, that is, it goes out one
week and tries to get back the next.
THE CHURCH lIILITANT
"The combat thickens; on,ye bravo !" On Sun
day evening last the Saints were not a little
,etartled at the command from. the Bishop of, the
First Ward to supply themselves with arms. The
Bishop said: "The President is anxious that every
man should have a firearm of some kind, and
plenty of ammunition, And he wants gon to
take out new naturalization papers tat once!
Them old ones yon took out with Pat Lynch
w a en' t - ,accordlq' to law, and ain't no account. Go
right off and get good ones at once." What's in
the wind, now? Do "the Withering" purpose
to et not "civilization," or are they all tabe sworn
is as "special police?" Do they thinklof fortify
ing Echo Canon again? Or are they going to
march on Promontory? Oh, we have it now;
they are to be enrolled to swell the ranks of
nominal soldiers in the great "Indian war," an
nounced in such flaming despatches a few days
ago. A thousand soldiers (on paper) give a bet
ter showing to ask an appropriation from Con
gress, than the six first announced. But they
.re to have "votna' papers," too. Is it to out
vote the Indians or the Gentiles? Or is it so
they can take up land near the railroad? /It is
good thing to be an American citizen Blame-
Ames. We learn that there has been quite a raid
an the gun stores; cold Camp Douglas Muskets
ire suddenlytin great demand, and a dozen that
we know of have been sold for twice what they
were offered at last week. Verily this groweth
amusing. The Saints are of Iteecher's opinion
when he advised the Eastern emigrants to Kan
sas "to take Sharp's rifles and a good supply of
Schiedam Schnapps." With "Valley Tan' and
condemned muskets they will do great execution
—backwards if not in front. As great perhaps
as the Mormon bey In 1857, in Echo Canon,
ho shot his companion through the head to see-
I f hie gun would "carry to the top of the rock.",
When "Zion" is supplied with muskets, let the
ungodly tremble.
. SORE HARD, QUEBTIORS. r
As to the social evils growing out of polygaidy,
Incest for example, , it le• not oven denied, it is
rather advocated. We fling down this charge
fair and square to the Mormon papers and
epeakers and dare them,to the proof. ,And to pat
the matter fairly in issue; we will not argue, but
ask these questions:
I. Are there not many instances in this Terri
tory where a man is married: to the mother and
one, two or three daughters?
2. Are there not several men here, each of
whom is married to two or three slaters ?
3. Dld not
,one of , the. foremost men of, the ,
Churth marry a 'WhAow, then get her ;oldest ;eon
sent pu airdssion and marry that son's wife while
he was gone ? His step-son'swife ?
4. Did not a well-known individual in tills 'Ol4 ,
marry his half sister, with the consent of Brig- ..
ham Young, and live with her as his wife several
years ?
5. Has not Brigham Young openly justified ,
such marriage in the ,pulpit, saying; "the time
Might come when brothers would marry their
own sisters in, order to . ,,raise np a - 'pure priest=
hood ?" • '
O. Did he; or did 1i not, Melia aribstantlalli`,
the same statement to Hepworth 'Dixon,,as • set
forth-in the tatter's work on this eountry,addlng,•
however, that ho "kept' that doctrine to himself
pmLm)FiLPHIA, .MONDAY, MARCH 15, 1869.
Just now—it was too strong doctrine for the peo
ple-? -
7. Have not men here married their,datighters
in-law directl y contrary to 'God's word, as laid
downin.Deuttronomy
Has not the Prosident of the "stake" at Brig
ham City two Of his brother's daughters for
wives?
These are a few.of the questions to be answered.
If they are "slanderous" it will be easy to show
it. • If dented, we will proceed to offer some
proofs.

The Savannah Newt of the'l2th' says :
From Captain H. D. McArthur, of the ship;
NicmtuF,which arrived from Liverpool yeaterdaY•
we gathered the following part icu la rs concerning
A terrible shipwreck:
The Captain reports that he left LlYerpool On
be 16th of January last,experienclig heavygaies'
frOta the west. On the 28d while in latitude
46.45, and longitude 18.22, his attention 11118 at
tracted by an object which, on -approaching,- was
:amid to be a wreck. The vessel, an American :
built brigantine, was water-logged, the bowsprit :
ad foretoP masthead were gone, the rigging of
he mainmast swinging to and fro, and, the
mainmast-head raking forward about;' six'

~rack, and both dead; were seen in the maintop
—the former lashed with his back to the dead.
eyis of the top-mast rigging, and the latter
ihehed to the mast by his lege, with head down,
~ aving evidently s li pp6d from his position and
was unable to recover it. A boat was sent' o the,
*reek which was boarded, and the two men ex
.mined. From eppearances, theyeeuld not have
been dead long, but the vessel, from all dream
, tenets btought to bear in the formation of 'the
opinion bad probably been in this wrecked cow
cidenabout fifteen days. With the exception et
he two men mentioned, no trace of the crew
could be found, and it Is more than probable that
hey were either swept from the vessel or took to
their boats and were swamped.
As the name of the vessel could not be aster
rained, an accurate description of her was taken
se far as practicable, a tremendous sea running
at the tithe, with the hope that' she might be
ecognized from It. The description, as given by
Captain McArthur, Is as follows :.She was hum
(sae, deck fore and aft. This deck had, been
'misted up between the fore and mainmast by
the swelling or floating of the Serge, the charac
ter of which could not be ascertained, but must
have been doatable (probably tizaber)' or else
the vessel would have gone - down. She had
oo figure head, but in lien thereof was a knee
ronnded'ofr; had a half round stern and was
sheathed .(perpendicularly). Her house was
about twofeet above the deck, With alley-ways
'tinning around. Her wheel Was new; her
ischors had Iron stocks, anwere-lashed to the
forecastle deck. The top of fer house appeared
obe new and made of hard pine. There was
ilso new work, about the rails and poop.- The
udder, unhting, was hanging in the collar of its
•ase. The waves were making a clean sweep
cross the middle of ' the wreck; which was float
ng heavily. The inside of the cabin had been

ILVERE ISTORra ON GEO,R08•8 BANS.
Fad Havoc Among the Fishermen.
[From the Gloucester (Mass.) Telegraph, Manh 11]
The arrivals from George's were very numerous
yesterday and the day before, the vessels being
to come in ott account of losing their
nehors and meeting with other disasters. On
iaturday night a severe storm was experienced
n the Bank, which ninny old fishermen declare
o have been the moat violent ever experienced.
1 was snowing hard, with a high wind, and the
tnow, eluttg to lanterns, rigging and sails, form
rg perfect snow drifts on deck, while it was
.oterly impossible to see the vesserslength on ac
ount of the thick storm. The' presence of a
arge fleet on the bank made the ,situation ex
remely hazardous from the danger of drifting
foul of one another, which would be equivalent
o instant destruction, and it was necessary to
Keep a strict lookout, while a man stood at the
hawser all night, hatchet in hand, ready to cut
he. cable at the approach of danger. In a large
number of cases it was deemed advisable to cut
be cables, and a few vessels parted their haw
-ere. Bo that of all the arrivals since
he storm but few bring in their full complerdents
.1 cables and anchors, and any vessels had
their decks swept of everythink portable, and lost
goats, davits. &c. The loss of cables and anchors
was more extensive than in any one storm ever
xperienced on George's, and equals the loss in
this Fegard of half a dozen ordinary seasons, and
will render the fishing;season of 1869 a disastrous
one for owners of vessel property. Most of the
vessels reported with loss of cable lost whole
strings of two hundred fathoms, and will average
no hundred and fifty fathoms each, with one or
hoth anchors. If the vessels yet to arrive have
met with proportional losses, the loss of pro
' erty will exceed $BO,OOO to the Gloucester fteet
Atone. Y.
TIIS LOSSES
[Hero follows a list Of forty-eight Gloucester
vessels that have met , with losses ou the trip. !
Several of these and some others lost boats,
davits,/ and had bulwarks stove.. These, forty
dubt vessels have lost , about 0,800 fathoms of
cable and fifty anchors), of a value probably of
11`•20,000,, and the otherlosses will increase the
agnrea materially', Vessels are"constantly'coming
and very.few are exempt from loss.

knowiegly oblivious or blind to the facts of these'
expeditions; and that, in some Mee, circum
stantial evidence.exists to the effect that Federal .
Mitch* have wilfully ,cowed et these ;un
friendly attempts.
The representatives of the Board& govern
memt insist that this theurreetion has been mainly
kept alive by this practical-and illegal aid from
Pertlee.lll this country; that It has, and ever lum
had, no intriesio force, but: W heel' really Main"
tAined b. 7 Atutoiluleaslers, chief •of whom is
Elenningsen, second in command , in the revolt,
and by American arms and American money. It
Is represented that the muskets, found in the
bands of the insurgents, bear the trade mark of
firms in New York City and Connecticut, and
that receipts and other papers have been found
which prove a constant system of communica
tion between the insurgents and adventurers in
the States.
Evidence is also offered to show that for the
18th of Merck next,. arrangements have been
made to send out, in a United States mail steamer,
a formidable quantity of improved Springfield
arms' to s Cuban port, front the city of New
York; that the vender and conveyor of these arms
is en officer on the vessel wherein they are to be
shipped; that he has had them advanced W him,
on credit for a speculation, by an arms mann.
facturmg company in that city; and that he has
been provided with abundant funds and full In
surances by capitalists in this city, In New Or
leans, and In New York. These past facts, pre
sent movements and future designs are submitted
to,be grave grounds for complaint, and to call
for remedy and. for prevention.
In regard to the resolutions of General Banks,
They are held , to be unfriendly in spirit, prema
ture in presentation, and based alike upon a mis
representation of the resources and the claims of
the huntrgents.bWhlle tl i• resolutions in question
cannot bind the Executive department of this
Ifovernment, and While they are no more than an
°refasten of empty and misconceived opinion,
it is objected that such an expression of opinion
could courteously add judiciously be deferred
until the arrival and hearing of the special envoy
of the provisional government of Spain, now on
the way thy this eity,with discretionaryp owers to
treat upon the following questions: The real ex
tent of the insurrection as disclosed to the gov
ernment, the real r resources and designs of the
government to sippress the same, the intentions
of the provisional government concerning the fu
ture of Cuba, and the steps on foot to Inaugurate
and eonerumnatethe abolition of slavery therein
and in all' the 'other 13panish dependencies. It is
insisted that the disclosures 'of this envoy will
materially change the face or affairs: from that
which they now appear to wear, and will con
strain this government and this people to a new
understanding of the Cuban question.

Nnw YORK, March 15.—The Commercial Adver
tiser says the report is circulated that Mr Sumner
is to make a speech to-day, strongly sustaining
the position of Gsa. Grant upon the Alabama
claims question; but it is without effect on the
premium on gold. The decline In currency balan
ces is largely attributable to the circumstance
that from Mr. lisCulloch's resignation
and the occupancy of the aloe
by Mr. Bontwell, the usual transfers from the
minor Sub-Treasusiee and depositories to the
New York office have been suspended. We pre
sume, therefore,that the resumption of the trans
fers from other points will, in a few days, bring
up the currency balance here to about the usual
amount. The new Secretary is known
-to be opposed to the sale of surplus gold
of the Trearary, and next month about (125,000,-
000 of income tar becomes payable. It would
seem that were the currency balance lower evgn
than it really is, he would choose to bridge over
until that period, and more so, as in the present
condition of the New York banks the withdrawal
of the currency into the Sub-Treasury would add
disastrously to the activity that usually occurs
about the beginning of April. Discounts remain

makes a specialty of this kind of drama. The
artists have never appeared in this cottntry; but
they are said to be first-rate, and to have' some
very amusing extravaganzas in their repbricire.
One of the best of these is Bernard's frion; or
the Man at. the Wheel. This berlesqtte was pro
duced in New York and enjoyed great popular
ity; but it, is claimed for the Rogers company
that they do it better than any of their rivals.
The London News, speaking of the performance,
says:
"To expend a sentence on the subject of tho
popularity attained by this burlesque would bo
sheer extravagance. The piece is undoubtedly
brilliant, and is, perhaps, still the best work of
the author and the most popular burlesque ever
written. One of the causes of the exceptionat
success of Ixion, was the acting: of Mr. Felix
Rogers, and another was the acting of pretty
Miss Jenny Wlllmore. The hit made by Miss
Willmore in Ixion was decided. Her piquant
style, the excellentpoint with whichohe enunci
ated Mr. Bernard's jokes, and her graceful and
clever dancing took the critical first night's-audi
ence by storm; and the position thus gained at &
single bound has been maintained since before all
undiencee."
