THE KENTUCKY CLANS.
THE BLOODY GROUND. THE LATE FEUDAL WAR IX LANCASTER., KT. FULL PARTICULARS OF THB DISTURB ANCE THE SPIRIT OF REVENGE BECOMES RAMPANT. The Cincinnati Gazette ot the 27th Inst, contains a succinct account, of the late feudal scenes of bloodshed and riot in Garrsrd county, Ky. Although told by one ot the implicated parties, it seems to be a fair statement: Our readers have heard for several days of the lawlessness and bloodshed in Lancaster, Garrard county, but they have not bad much Hunt on the motives and
causes that have beea at the bottom ot it. We are glad to be able to tell something ol its history from the testimony of one of tbe
lonrtin motors in the Late war, or rather
from the man w hose politis have made him
. so obnoxious to the Ku-Klux that these disgraceful oroceedings have been instituted to
wmrvft him from their presence. We refer
to the lion. Win. Sellers, member of the
legislature from Garrard county, Mr. Sellers is now a fugitive from his desolated home; sinca last week inn whereabouts havo not been
definitely known. It was said that be had
hastened to Washington, tut he only came
to Cincinnati, having Dean an the tuna not vorv far from bis pursuers. II tells his
story with a straightforwardness, atd a free- j groei
dorn from passion 01 rcseuiiai -iecung, iuk is remarkable in one that has passed through such an experience. He is a man about thirtv-tive or forty years of age, tall, slim, dark complexion, ana black hair. IIa wears a heavy moustache, beneath which a smila may be seen playing even while recounting his troubles and losses, lie has an air of coolness and determination that betokens a rnan who cannot be swerved from his purpose by any kind of intimidation. Meeting a Gazette reporter labt night, the following narrative ot the late war In Lancaster was given by Mr. Sellers: THE BEGINNING. On the night of August 7 I was walking .home irom my store, about 9 o'clock, when I met E. D.' Kennedy, circuit county clerk, with a drawn pistol in his hands. He said:
form, arid in this disguise went on the Sugar creek pike and made my escape.
THE LAST BATTLE. While I was at the camp, as I understand,
the Kennedy party began to fire at my house. My guard from the inside of the
home returned the fire, and it was kepi up for some time. At length the Kennedy party, seeing they could do nothing by shooting, fired turpentine balls at my bouse
and set it on fire. My men, aa soon as they discovered this, made their escape, with tbe loss of one killed and one wounded. They were tired on from all sides, and from tope of houses, and from the cupola of the court house. It was about 7:30 when the house was burned, and then the battle was over. So far as I am inlormed every man who came to theaid of Kenned v was a noted Ku-
Klux. I know nothing about their killed and wounded. The militia soon after arrived, and prevented me from returning home. They began to arrest, with considerable zeal, every man suspected
of being with me, and allowed Kenndy's
Ku-Klux to roam about undisturbed, carry
ing their guns and pistols. Indeed, the mi
"Who are you," or "what are .3-011," and I
replied. "I am Sellers. Don't shoot." But
he was drunk, and made demonstrations as
if be was coin? to shoot me. I tried to pur
suade bim to put up his pistol, and then
tried to take it away from him. In the scuffle my pistol was discharged. Kennedy
tben jumped away ana tried to snoot me
lie was too drenk to handle his fingers nim
bly, and before be could pull the trigger I
shot him. and he fell. I thought he was
dead, and I at once tied to avoid mobbing by Kennedy's friends, several of whom were
in town drunk. 1 nave since neara that my
shot did not even wound him, the ball striking him on the side and knocking
him down, without penetrating tbe body.
I had seen him that day; had seen blm drinking; and he and other Ku-Klux friends
had been on the streets drunk, and seeking
some one to kill. Kennedy had been for
some time before I met him walking about
with a drawn revolver.lookingfor somebody to shoot. His special enmity against me arose from the fact that he was defeated by lour votes for the oilice of Circuit Court clerk, and he blamed me for working against
him. This Happened on a nuay nigut,
returned on Sunday morning and found that Kenned j' had called together a force, and had kept constant watch over the approaches to
tr.y store, having armed men stationed so as
to command the store ana the street, render
ing it impossible for me to get to my place of
business. I his continued until luesday
of the next week, which was the first
time I ventured to go up town. When I got
nearly to the store, I saw Kennedy s men
get to their positions in the court house and
take their guns. I turned back and went
home. I then heard that Kennedy sent
word to his son-in-law, Ben. Slavin, that
had appeared ou the public square, and he
wanted more mea ; that they must be in
structed to kill me on sight. On the next
day, Wednesday, 19 desperadoes, armed wlih
shot guns and pistols, regular Ku-Klux
came into town and began Indiscriminate
attacks on negroes, beating them over the
head with pistols and stones, and threaten
ing to shoot them. Thia conduct aroused the
negroes, and this accounts for all they have
done. Un that night fome or the lieerof
discovered their Ku-Klux persecutors going
wim Kenneavs men into tne court house
and arming themselves. THE FIRST BATTLE.
That night the negroes fired on Ken
nedy'a men in the court house, about 8:30 o'clock. The fire was returned, and it was kept up nearly all night, but not much harm was done. I knew the negroes were going to make this attack, but it was not done t my request or suggestion, and J was not present I was at home. Tbe whole affair arose out of the treatment, during the day, of the negroes, by the Ku-Klux, who afterward joined Kennedy's party. There were about twenty negroes in the fight, against 15 on Kennedy's side. Kennedy's men used the court bouse for their arsenal and fort. Tbe next day, Thursday, Kennedy gathered more men. I remained at home, and deemed it my duty to place about my house some guards, because I had been told that I would be attacked. 'I specially instructed the men I gathered about me for this purpose to not bring on an attack, but only to act in defease. That night some parties, supposed to be negroes, iired on Kennedy's house. They were in no wise connected with my men. Rut on Friday morning, after some of the negroes had leit my house, they fired on Fred. Yeaky, a brother-in-law of Kennedy, wounding him in both leg?. That, however, was done without my knowledge, and against my direction, which was to not provoke or begib an attack. During that day the civil authorities, aided by tbe United States troops, some forty or fifty in number, stationed at Lancaster, interfered to stop further proceedings by both sides. They placed a guard about my house and kept me prisoner. I am informed
they did the same with Kennedy. That afternoon, while under charge of the United
States troops, Kennedy's house was burned. I believe Kennedy himself caused it to be
burned. In hops of enlisting symoathy. I
-was not at home all that day. That night
the town marshal notified me that I must defend myself. Ihe United States troops withdrew, and I sent immediately for my
men. and they came. I was also notified by
several parties that I would be attacked at
mv house before morning, and that tbe in
teLtion was to kill me and burn my house. Placing my guard, eighteen in number, in
charge of my house, and sending my wife and child away to a place of safety,! went to the camp of the United States troops,
because I was suffering from a severe
pain in my breast, and was unable to sit up.
The night passed without an attack on my
house. I returned early on Saturday morn
ing, and informed my men that a number ot armed men had come to town. I re
quested a many as could to stay with roe
Some went away and others came, to that
kept about eighteen men, of whom six were white, and the rest colored. Hearing that
Kennedy was collecting men from Madison
Lincoln and Boyle counties, and knowing
my force was too small to compete with so
many, 1 went, auoui 8 o'clock on Saturday
morning, to the United States camp to get help. I was told they could do nothing lor
me, not even give me a guard to take rue
fack to my nouse, i secured a soldier's unl
litia uniud with the Ku-Klux to scour the
country for me. In the counties of Garrard
and Jessamine, citizens were permitted to hunt for me, who would not have taken me prisoner, but would have shot me on sight. I am compelled to have negro guarde, "be
cause there are verv few white republicins
who would consent to go into anything cf
that kind, knowing the desperate nature of
the men on tbe other bide. The ne
naturally took my side, because
they saw the Ku-Klux were on the other
side. It was a political fight.. They
wanted to drive me out, and that is the
course they followed. I have been a hard
working, active republican, am have saved
the county several times to the republican
party. V J?en I was first elected to the legis
lature, it was by a majority of only 19
otes; the second lime it was COO. For
this success I am hated. I want to say that the negroes in my body-guard were not
moved by any feeling of hostility to any in
dividual. They were hostile to the Ku-Klux, and they believed that Kennedy bed these
men to help him. Tbev did nothing except
in self-defense, and there was no thought or
ntention of an uprising. Such a report is a
lie.
AN EXILE.
I have been away from home ever since
last Saturday, 'lney were loosing for me
in every direction, and one day three of them passed in sight of a tree where I was asleep. They all had Henry rifles, revol
vers and bowie knives. They did not see
me. I am afraid to go back now only on
account ot tne militia. 1 nave done no
crime, and I fear no man; but I do not want
to be thrown into prison with no chance for my life, as I know I would ba if I was in the power ot the militia. I never raised a difficulty in my life. I have always been
sober man, and attended to
my business, and never have sought a quar
rel in mv me. 1 none tue militia mav toon
be withdrawn, for with the loss of my house
and furniture, worth 34,500, and the inter
ruption of my business, I am well nigh
ruined. My family is scattered I know not
how they are living.
The above is the substance ot the story
told by Mr. Sellers. He added many inci
dents of the condition of affairs in Garrard
county, which show anything but a whole
some regard for law. He announces his de
termination to engage counsel to delend the
negroes who were with him, and who have
been arrested.

by the moo at Trenton Tuesday night.
Memphis, Tksn., Aug. 27. There is an in-
ense feeling of indignation here against
the murderers of tbe nggro prisoners at
Trenton. The press ot the city denounce
them for their cowardly butchery. The

Boil them and rub through a colander. Add
large spoonful of butter while hot, and
when cold add half a pound of crushed white sugar, six well beaten eggs and the

quart of water add 55 drops of the liquor of

It must remain in the mixture two nours.
Then wash twice in pure water and once in

When the habit becomes chronic it has no

chases you make, and wants to borrow a new tbing as soon as it is bought,
often before you- have had time to use it yourself. Such people are about tbe only

LoxELDtES3 of Christ. The life of Christ
presents an infinite unity. It is rounded in perfection. Naturalists tell ua nothinz in
nature U perfect. The leaf of the plant, the bone of the animal, give us hints ot the plan on which they are organized; the broken
arc indicates the dimensions or the completed circle. All things in the outer world
are marred with the traces of imperfection.
Bat tbe life of Christ was perfect. No one
an read Iiis history without the idea of Ilia
loneliness. Like the mignonette, whose perlame pervades the air rather than seems
to reside in itself, His whole life tells us a
story of a lonely existence. In tbe text we
see a most affecting scene. lie had sent away
Ills disciples. lie was there on tbe moun
tain alone with the stars. Alone, yet not alone
for lie communed there with the Father.
When He spoke to the multitude, trying to life them up into a spiritual life. He stood
alone. In tbe henarative langnage of Eli
jab, ''He trod the winepress alone." Gus
tave Dore pictures llim bearing the cross
alone. His followers ieerine the rabble. In all
His nature lie was alone In spotless perfec- j
tion, a lamo without memish. Satan in tbe temptation found in him do Haw. When the sinning woman was brought before Him, His purity shrunk from penalty without Justice, ne stooped to write on the ground and silently judged the whole accusing crowd, who shrunk Irom His purity. His words and thoughts and life always made Him alone. He suffered to save, not His friends, but the guilty. His mother and brethren did not understand His boyhood. How lovingly He laid His bands on those He would
bless. How lie took John to be His be
loved disciple. He was willing to be lifted
upon the cross to draw men to the higher life. So, all men who think and attempt to
Uvea better life, will at many times find
themselves alone. Rev. Dr. Robinson.
O., asks how butter that is prime can bs
kept eo for several weeks in summer. Tho best way to keep butter is to exclude the air from it and put it in a cool, sweet place; but the first is the most important. II the butter is in a pail, tub or jar, cover it one or two inches with the strongest brine made from tbe best Onondaga butter salt. Remember, it will not dv to simply cover it ith salt; the air wjll pass through the salt, but not through the brine. If the package has a tight fitting cover, so much the better. The best butter exposed to the air in summer will not keep perfec t for 21 hours. Butter for tbe family should be kept constantly under brine. Livestock Journal. Prevention op Hoa Cholera. The Rural World says that one of the largest hog breeders in Missouri, who frequently has several hundred head at once, never has any sick. He gives them salt, just as be does other stock.' In cooking food for boss
which he does in a large wooden boiler
holdinz 30 or 40 bushels he has the coals
and ashes thrown in tbe boiler and boiled
with tbe food. He also sometimes puts in
salt and sulphur. His hogs eat burnt char
coal as freely as they do corn. They are shel
tered from the cold and storms by movable uheds. Occasionally he dissolves copperas
(sulphate of iron) in water and mixe9 it with
their food, ihis destroys internal worms, and is also a tonic. Hogs are subject to colds
aud pneumonia as human beings. The in
ternal organs of tbe hog more closely resem bio ihoso of man than any other animal.
Jcst How it Was Dose. Wm. T. Ste
phenson writes to tho Plymouth Democrat
the exact process by which he raised a capi
tal crop of wheat: To begin with, I bad 30
acres of fallow ground, which was broken
(when the crouud was very dry and from 8
to, II inches deeD.) principally in the
month of July. We then lei the ground lav
exposed to tho summer's sun and heat until
the last of August when we stirred
the ground wita double shovels and then harrowed. The tirst - week in
September we commenced drilling with a
rolling drill (which, by the way, cannot be surpassed for all kinds of ground), sowing
from 10 to 12 acres per day until completed.
Result: The entire crop (3G acres) yielding 2914 bushels per acre the best ten acres
yielding SO bushels per acre.
That's the sort of writing tbe Sentinel in
vites from practical farmers and housekeepers. No less than Crimk. The Indiana Farm
of last week makes this statement:
er
Henry Comstock, of Liberty Mills, Wabash county, says, he has lost about a hundred
pigs from cholera, because bis neighbor, living above him on the river, threw his hogs that died of cholera in the river, and
he, (Comstock), ignorant or tbe fact, used
.he water irom tue deaa .carcasses to mix
the slop for his. own pigs. It cor
tainly was a very reprehensible act of his
neighbor, and we are not sure but it
lays him liable to an action for damages.
To the above a few words may U9 added
about the disposition of dead animal car
casses. A great many indolent people seem
to think if they can throw a dead pig, dog or cat into a creek or pond, that it is properly
disposed or., jno practice is more repre
nensiDie. it is ootn aisgusting and aan
gerous to the public. It is not water but
earth which renders decomposing animal
matter innocuous. Another common crime is to leave dead bodies to decay on the sur
