THE 'WESTER." CONSPMACY.
To awaken public attends% to the' import
awe of giving -decisive majoridei st the' corn
ing election for Lincoln, -Johnson and the
Union, we commence this week the publics- .
tion of thexeport. , , of Judge..Ailvocate-Gener
al -Rom upon the secret.revolutionary
ations in the West, and the Democratic con-
spiracles to aid tbs rebels in their plans to in=
vade the North and overthrow' the power of
the Government. As the report' is langthY,
we cannritinblliyi.. it entire this week, : but
will - erideriiior to, conclude it in our next.—
We hope that :all of our feeders will, not
withstanding its length; peruse it attentively,
for it shows conclusively, that the Democrat
ic letiders organized in at least fifteen States,
a vast, oath-bound conspiracy, 'having for its.
main object, to incite soldiers to desert:from .
the
_armies, and to harbor and protect desert
ers ; to discourage erdistments and resist the
draft ; to circulate disloyal and treasonable
publications; to communicate with and im
part intelligence to the enemy; to aid the
enemy by recruiting for them, or assisting
them to recruit within our lines; to furnish
the ;enemy with munitions of war; to co-:
operate with the rebels the . invasion of
loyal States; to destroy the military stores
and property of the Federal Government ; to
assassinate and get out of the way Union
citizens obnoxious for their zeal,. and Union
soldiers and Government employes; to per
secute and suppress, or drive off, Union citi
zens,' and destroy their property, and to es
tablish a North-Western Confederacy of
States, to be torn by force of arms frcim the :
Federal Union_
' :It was the exposition of this dreadful con
spiracy, that recently awakened the people
of Ohio and Indiana to the importance of
overwhelming it at the polls. It swept the:
West for the Union ticket. Dodd, one of.
the principal conspirators, who was arrested
and placed on trial in Indiana, recently es
caped through the assistance of his fellow
cbnspirators—a proof of his guilt. He is
probably now beyond the boundaries of the
country, a fugitive traitor. • •
After perusing the
. portion of the report
which refers to the outbreaks among the
lawleas in the coal districts of Eastern Penn
sylvania, during the past two years, we are
not surprised that Frank Hughes and, others
of the noted Copperhead leaders of this sec
tion, confidently predict that our streets will
run with blood in the event of the defeat, of
31e.Clellan. They know as leaders of a trea
sonable, secret, oath-bound association, what
its guilty plans ; Are. and from past experi
ence they have confidence that their dupes
will commit any act against the lives and
property of Union citizens to which they
•
may be urged.
The crimes of these conSpirators are, equal
to those committed by the ambitious and
aristocratic Southern leaders of the' Rebel-
lion. It seems to us that their. punishment
ehould be equally as severe. The - future
peace and prosperity: of the Country ; law
and order demand that a severe example
should be made of these men. In the mean
tinie let, the Union men of Schuylkill and of
. Pennsylvania resolve to administer a signal
rebuke to them at the ballot-box on the Bth
of November. Let us show the traitors in
the North who are too.cowardly to go dew:l
South and fight for disunion, thatwc despise'
them and their threats. '
LIWLESSNESS.
We might keep the above word In every
number of the JOURNAL, and under it publish
weekly a list of new outrages perpetrated in
Schuylkill County. Some sectiOns of this,
'Country are positively unsafe to live in, and
those sections give overwhelming Democrat
ic-majorities: The violence and disregard of
and property which distinguiak this
,Re
gion, are thelegitimate fruits of the . Copper- ,
head teachings of Prank Hughes and the
lu.ser luminaries wlio revolve around
We will illustrate. Before the late election
Hughes suspecting correctly; that the more
intelligent of the Democratic party were dis
gusted with a portion of the County ticket of
the P l arty, and that they would cut it, caution::
ed the faithful in his speeches against splitting
the ticket and warned them of the conse
quences of such a departure from the ortho
dox rule, "vote the whole ticket," and call
ing down the, vengeance of the party upon
those who should bp - guilty of this thing.—
lie made a speech of this character at Maha
nrl-CitY,And his dupes swallowed all he
said as if it was gospel truth. The day of
election came, and Mr. George Geiger; John
R. 'Conyngham, Esq., attorney at law, Mr.
Patrick ti. Barry, and others, all staunch
Democrats, voted only a part of the Demo-,
cratie ticket—they .couldn't go the whole of
it-and what viris the result? Why - simply
and naturally, this: a number. of .the lrish-
men.who were ou the platform where Hughes
.called down the vengeance of his dupes on
those who should,be guilty of splitting the,
sacred Democratic County ticket, went to
Mr.. Geiger's house to murder him, but failing
to find him at home, they beat his crippled
:3 , 3 , whose life was only Salved by his sister
throwing herself between him and his as
sailants; beat a cow in Mr. Geiger's stable
almost to death, and broke the windows of
of the house; . After performing thee valor
ons.deeds, they went in search of other, par
' ties who had-voted split tickets. , Mr. Con
nyngham although a speaker on the Demo
cratic side during the campaign, had to leave
his house fora fear of personal injury. An
evening or two after Mr. Williams, boss mi
ller of the East Multanoy 'Colliery, was at-'
.tacked in his house by two men: and shot,
the assassins at the same time snapping a
• pistol at the breast of a.woman who interfer
ed to sate Mi. Williams from further injury..
We :night enumerate other cases of outrage
and violence which have happened ' lately,
the fruits of Copperhead teachings, but we
havti' not space. Suffice it to' say that
the terrorism established by these lawless
acts' is so great that many respectable persons
setioutly of removing their families_from
the, 'districts so infected, not from personal
fear- themselves,buttoksmAkpir wives and
children from being kept in a state of trepida
tion. If measures are not taken to: check
lawlessness in this Dounty, and to mete. out
justice tOthe instigators and perpetrator's: of
these murderous acts, the - effect upon the bu
siness prosperity of this Region will be disas-
. _
Tits Astir Vars.—ThOse -who pretend

in the Twenty-first, are pretty ""sure to go the

It is the opinion that' the final canvass will
give us gain of four Congressmen in this
Staie. _ _
The _Legislature. -
The following is a summary of the, two
Houses of the Legislature:
Union
Democrat
Union majority
This is a Union gain of 14 members iu the
House, and 3in the , Senate. Total, 17
01110.
The Union majority, on the home and sob
diers' vote, is 75,000. The Congressiona
delegation will stand—Union, 17 Democra•
tic, '2
INDIANA.
Governor Morton's majority is 30,000. The
Indiana delegation • in the present Congress
stands 7 Democrats to 4 Union. The next
will be 8 Union to 3 Democrats. If the frauds
charged against Voorhees can be established
he will be turned out; reducing the Democra
tic delegation to 2.
Friends, Won't that do? A. popular ma
jority in.three States of 120,000, and a gain of
over twenty members of. Congress! Yet the
Cops fire salutes for such victories." Surely,
they are 4.hankful for small %von.

Returned Suldiers.-11 is one of the most grati
'fying evidences thatthe war has not demoralized
our young men to see many whohave known hard
service return to their, homes .and, resume their
formor.avocations.. They generally take a week
or so to visit friends and enjoy that relaxation
which they are entitled- to and then they ; take
hold of work with an aptitude which shows they
realise the importance of an indristrioins life.—
Their examplem very beneficial, for it was feared
by many that the war would incapacitate some
from attending to ordinary avocations, but thus
far where there is one man. Who has returned and
remained an idler, there are a score who are de
•termined to look after themselves and their fain
ilies like. good citizens. Such a course is the true,
one. Lahor is - in demand and none need be
'without compensating 'work uttleas they are phys
ically disqualified. Don't waste your time, boys,
fcir now is the.time to get a start, for a man who
has served his country and is now ready, to serve
himself will find a sentiment in the community
which will's lain him. . . •

Origin, History, Names, dre. • -
• Title secret association' first developed itself in the
Nest in the yeai 1862, about the period of the first con
scription of troops, which it almeil tO obstruct and re
sist-' , Originally known. in certain , localities as the
"Mutual Protection Society," the. "Circle of Honor,"
or the "Circle" or "Knights of the Mighty Host," but
more widely as "the "Knights of the Golden Circle." it
was simply an inspiration of the. Rebellion, being little
other then the extension among.the disloyal and disaf
, fected at. the North of.the association of the latter
name, Which had existed for - some. years' at the South,
and from which it derlyed all the chief features of its
uring the Summer and Pall of 1863, the order, both
at the North and South, underwent some modifications
'as well as a change of name. In consequence of a par
tial exposure which had been made .of the signs' and
present forms of the "Knight& of the Golden Circle,"
Sterling Price hadinstitnted as its successor in Mis
souri a secret political association, which he called the
"Corps de Belgiqne," or. "Southern League," his prin
cipal coadjuto.r.being Charles L. Hunt, of St. Louis,
then Belgian Consul at that city,-but whoie exequatur
was subsequently revoked by the President on, account
of his disloyal practices. The special object of the
Corps de Belgique appears' to have been to unite the
Rebel sympathizers of . Missouri; with a view: to their
taking up arms, and joining Mee upon, his proposed
.grand invasion of that State, and to their recruiting for
his army in the interim.'- . - . •
-Meanwhile, also, there had been instituted- at the
North in the. utumn.of 1563, 'by sundry, disloyal . per
sons;prominent among4hom were Vallandigham and
P. C. Wright, of New York, attecrat order, intended-to
be general throughout the 'country. , and aiming at an
extended influence and poWer, and at more positive re
sults thlin its predecessor, and which was ; termed, and
has since -been widely known as the 0. or . "Or
der of American Knights." .• • '• •
The opinion is expressed by Col. Sanderson, Provost:-
Marshal-General of the Department of Missouri, in- his
official report upon the- progress:of the order, that. it
was founded by Vallandigham during his• banishment,
and upon consultation at Richmono with Davis and
other prominent traitoni. •• 'lt is, Indeed, the boast of
the order in.lndiana and elsewhere, • that its "ritual"
came direcefrom bimsels and• Mary Anu Pitt;
.M:111, formerly attachedto the command 'of the Rebel
Forrest, and &most-intelligent witness, wbose testimo
ny wilt be hereafter. referred to, states positively that
Davis is a member of the:order. • • • • • • .
Upon the institution of the principal organization, it
is represented that the "Corps de Bel,gique"was motif:
fled by Price and became a Southern section of the, 0.
A. K.; and that the new 'name-was generally adopted
for the order. both:at the North and South...
The secret signs and character of the order haying
become known to our military authorities, further mod
ifications in the ritual and forma were introduced, and
its name was finally changed to that of the 0. S. L., 'or
"Order of the Soria of Liberty," or the -Knights of the
Order of. the Sons of Liberty," These later changes are
represented to have been first instituted, and the new
ritual compiled, in the State of Indiana, in May last, hut
the new name was at once generally adopted -through
out the West, though in some localities the association
is still better known as the "Order of. Artierican
Knights."
Meanwhile, also, the order has received certain local
designations... In parts of Illinois it his been called at
times the "Peace Organization," in Kentucky the "Star
'o?ganization," and in Missouri tie the . "American Or
ganization:" these, however, being apparently names
used outside of the lodgea of the order. Its members,
have sled been: familiarly de.gignated ae "Butternuts"
by the country people of. Illinois, Indiana,
.and Ohio,
and its separate lodges have also frequently received ti
tles intended for the public ear; that. in 'Chicago, for in.
stance, being, termed by its members the ':'Democratic
Club;" that in Louisville, the
."Democratic
=Reading Boom," etc. ' ' . •
It is to be added that in the seate of New York, and
. other parts of the North, .the secret political association
known as the "MaCielkia Minute Guard" would seem
to be a' branch' f the O. A. K..: hiving substantially the
same objects to be aocOmplished, howeVer, by means
'expressly suited , to the localities in which It is establish
ed. For, as the Chief Secretary of this Association, Dr.
R. F. Stevens, stated in Jane last to 'a trustworthy wit
ness whose testimony has been furnished. "those who
represent the McClellan interest are compelledto preach
a vigorous prosecution of the war, in.order to secure,
the popular sentiment and allure voters. •
1111.--Its Organization and Officers. •
From printed copies heretofore seized by the Govern
ment, of the constitutions or the. Supreme Council, and
County Parent Temple, respectively, of the Order of
Sons of Liberty, in connection with other and abundant.
tea, 'the organization of the'order, in its latest form, is
ascertained to be as follows : . '
1. The government of the order throughout the tfni--
ted States Is vested in a Supreme Council, of which the
officersare a Supreme Commapder, Secretary of State,
and Treasurer.. These officers are elected for one year,
at the a'nnnal meeting of the Supreme Council, which is
made up of the grand commanders of the several States
ex•abseie,- and two delegates elected front each State in
Which the'orderis established.
2. The governtherit of the in' "a State is vested in
a Grand t2onncil, the officers of which are. a Grand
Commander. Deptity Gmrid Commander, Gntnd Sete-
tary, Grand Treasurer, and-a certain number of .Major-
Generals, or 'one for, each military, district.. These offi
cers also are elected annually by "representatives. from
the County Temples, each Temple being entitled to two
representativea,•and one additional for each thou d
members.. This body of representatives is also i
with certain legislative functions. .
3: _The Parent Temple is the organir.ation of the r
for a'county, each, temple being formally institnt by
authority of the Supreme Courted: or of the Grand Coun
cil of the Grand Commander Of Abe State. 'By the same
authority, (ir by that of officers, of the Parent Temple,
branch or subordinate temples, may be' estabilithed for
townships in - the county: • :
But the strength and significance of this -organization
lie in its military character. The .secret constitution of
the Snpreme Council. provides that the Supreme Com
mander "shalt be the commander-in-chief of all military
rorces belonging to the orderin the various States when
called into actual servicet" and I - further, that the Grand
• Commandere "shall be commanders-in-chief of the ran
itary. forces of their respective '= States, Subordinate to
the Gland . Commander in the State are the "„Major-
Generals," each of :whim commands his separate dis
trict and army. In Indiana the Major-Generals' are four
in number.. In- Illirlois, where -the Organization of the
order is considered moat perfect,, the members in each
CongresMonal district- compoee a "brigade," which • is
commanded by a- "Brigadier-General." The members
of each county constitute a "regiment," with a "Cola
net" hi command.' and those of each township form a .
"company." A somewhat similar system prevails in •
Indiana,where also each company is divided into squads,
each with its chief—an arrangement intended to facili
tate the.ctuerri/kt mode of. warfaie in case Of, 1 . 1 - • eneral
outbreak or local disorder: I • - .. .
• ' The "McClellan . Minute Guard," as appears from a '
cheater issued. by the Chief Secretary at New York -ha
March last; is organized Amon a military ,New
similar to -
that of the order proper: ..It la composed of *companies,
one for each election district, ten of which constitute.. a
"brigade," with a "briganier,general" at its head. The
whole is placed unties' the authority of a "commander- '
in-chief," A strictobeffience do the part of members'-
to to the orders of their superiors, is enjoined.
• The first "Supreme Commander of the order was P.
C. Wright, of New York, editor of The New York News,
who was in May last placed in; arrest and cot

the • order has not hesitated to admit as Ineinbers, not
only officers of that army,- but also a considerable num-.
ber of guerillas; a class who might be supposed to ap
preciate most readily its aims and purposes. It is fully
shown that as lately. as In July list several of these ruf
fians were initiated into the drat degree by Dr. Kolfus„
in Kentucky.- . •
Araptd Force.
.
A review of. the " testimony in regard to the armed
force - of the order will materially aid in determining Its .
real strength and numbers. •
Although the 'order has from the outset partaken of
the military character,•it was not till the summer or fall
0f,1863 that it began to be generally organized as an'
armed body. Since that date its ()Meets and leaders
have been „busily engaged in plating it upon a military
basis, end In preparing it for a revolutionary movement.
A general system of drilling has been Instituted and
secretly carried out. Members hive been' instructed to
be constantly provided with weapons; and in some lo
calities 'it. has been absolutely required that each -mem
ber should keep' at his residence, at all times,.certaln
arms and a specified quantity of ammunition. •
. In . March' last, the entire armed force of the order,
Capable of being mobilized for effective service, was '
represented to • be 340,000 men. The details. however,.
upon which' this statement was based are imperfectly
set forth in testimony, and Rig not known how far this
ninnber may be exaggerated. It is abundantly shown, •
however, that the order, by meting of a tax levied upon
its members, has accumulated considerable funds for
the purchase of arms and ammunition, and that these
have been procured in large quantities for its use. The
witness Clayton, oq the - trial of Dodd. estimated that
two-thirds of ttie order are furnished with arms.
Green B. Smith. Grand Secretary of the order in Mis
souri, states in his confession of July last "I know
that anus, mostly revolvers, and ammunition have been
purchased by-niembers in St. Louis to send to members
in the country where they could not be had ;" and he
subsequently adds that he himself alone clandestinely
purchased and forwarded, between April 15 and 19 last,
about two hundred revolvers, with about five thousand
percussion caps and other ammunition. , A muster roll
of one of the country lodges of that State is exhibited,
in which;opposite the name of each metnber, are noted
certain numbers, under the heads of "Missouri Repub
liars " "St.,Louis Union," "Anzeiger,"- "Miscellaneous -
Periodicals," "Books." —Speeches," and - "Reports ;" ti
tles which, when interpreted, severally signify single
barreled guns, double-barreled guns, revolvers, private
ammunition, • private lead, company powder, _company
lead; the roll thus actually* setting forth the amount of
arms and ammunition in the posiession of the and
Its members. . A ,-
• In the States of Ohio and Illinois, the order is claimed
by its members to be unusually well armed with revol
.vers, carbines, &c.; but it . is in regard to the arming of
the order in. Indiana that the pnucipal statistics have
been presented, and those may serve to illustrate the
system which has probably been pursued in most of the
States. One intelligent witness, who has been a mem
ber of the order, estimates that in March last there were
in 'possession of the order in that State 3.000 muskets
and 60,000 revolvers. beside private anus._ Another
Member testifies that at a single lodge meeting of 252
persons which he attended early in thd' present year,
ids sum "of $5,000 was subscribed for arms: Other mem
bers. present statements in regard to the number of
arms to theirrespective - comities - and all agree in rep
resenting that these have been constantly forwarded
from Indianapolis into the interior. Beck & Brothers
is designated as a , o in that city to which most of the
arms were consign- These were shipped principally
from the Ewa; some packages, however, were sent from
Cincinnati, and some from Kentucky, and the boxes
were generally marked "pick-axes, hardware, nails,'
-hbusehold goods," etc. . . . , ' . • - -
General Carrington estimates that in February and
March lait, nearly.3),ooo guns and revolvers entered
the State, and this eatimate.is based upon an actual in
spection of invoices. -.The - true number introduced was
therefore' probably considerably greater. The officer
adds that on t h e day on which the -sale of arms was
stopped by his order, In Indianapolis, nearly 1,000 ad..
- rilhonalrevolvers had been contracted for, and that the
trade could not supply the. demand.,. He further reports
that after the introduction of arms into the Department
of the North had been prohibited in General Orders of
March last, a seizure was made by the Government of a
large quantity of revolvers and 135;000 rounds of ammu
nition, which bad been shipped to the firm in-Indianap
olis, of which H. H. Dodd, Grand -Commander, was a
' memb r ; that other. arms, about to' be shipped to the
same. destination, were seized in New York city;.and
'that all these were claimed as the private • property of
John C. Walker, 'one of the Major Generals of the order
' in - Indiana, and were represented to have been "pur: •
chased for a few friendst.” It is to be added that at the
°Mee of Hon. W: Voorhees, M. C., at Terre Haute,
were discoVered letters which disclosed a correspond
ence between him and . Senator Wall. or .bleiv Jersey, in
regard-to the purchase of Awerity.thousand Garibaldi ri
fles, to be forwarded to the West. •
It appears in the - course of the' testimony that a con
' siderable quantity of arms and ammunition were. bren
into 'the •State of Illinois from Burlington-lowa, and
that ammunition was shipped from New Albany, Ind.,
into Kentucky; ti is also represented that bad Yellen ,
digham been arrested on his return to Ohio. it.was con
templated furnishing the order with arms from a point
in Canada. neat-Windsor, where they were stored and
ready for use;
There remains further to be noticed, in this connec
tion. the testimony of Clayton upon the trial of Dodd.
to the effect that arms were to be procured for the order
from Narrow, N. P.: by the wsy.of Canada; that, to de
fray the • expense of these arms or their transportation,
a formal assessment was levied upon the lodges, but
that' thetransportation. intO Canada was. actually to be
furnished by the Confederate anthonties • -
A statement was made by Hunt, Grand 'Commander
- Of MiSsourL•before his arrest, to a fellow-member, that
sLell and all kinds of munitions of war, as well as in
-rental machines were manufactured for the Order at In
dianapolis; andthe late discovery in Cincinnati of 'sam
,Ples of hand-grehades. , , 'conical shells and rockets of
which one thousand were about to be manufactered,
under a special contract, for -the o. S. L., goes directly
to verify . such a statement., ••
These:details will convey some idea of the attempts
which have been 'made to place the order upon a war
footing and prepare it for aggrestrive-mevemente. But,
notwithstanding all the effects , that have been.put forth,.
and with considerable 'success to arm and equip its
members as fighting men. the leadera.of the Order have
felt themselves still very deficient in their armament,
and numerous - .schemes, for increasing their aimed
strength have been devisd. , .Thus, at the time of tutt
ing of the General Order in Missouri requiring, the en
rollment of all citizens. it was proposed lathe lodges of
'the at St. Louje, that certain_ members should
raise companlesin the Militia, in their reCnielive wards.
and thus get-command of as many government -arms
andl equipmenta as, possible, for the future use of the
, Order: Again it Was - proposed that' all the members
should enroll themselves in the militia, instead of pay-.
ing •dmintintation, in -this way obtaiiiing possession of
United States : arms, and having. the advantage of the
drill and'. military. instruction. In the '
councils of the
' Order_ hi Kentucky in June hot, `a scheme was devised
for disarming all the negro' troops. which - if Wet thringht
could be done without much difficulty; and appropria
ting their arms for the purpose of the Order.. • . -
The despicable treachery of these proposed_plans. as
evincing' the - aniniva of the conspiracy, need not be
commented upon: . •". • • • ,
• It is to be observed: that the Order in the • State' of
Missouri has counted greatly upon support from the en
rolled- militia, in case of an Invasion-by Prim as' con
taining many members and friends of the A. 0. K.; and
that the "Paw-Baw militia," aepillitary organization 'of
