-The Kuigbtsof the Golden Cirele have got into Congress. Senator Latiiam, by requcst of Ex-President Pi urce, a few days sinco moved a rcsolution calling upou Seerctary Skwahd to furnuh the Senate a correspondenco between the Secretary and Ex-1'resident coneeruing the reports comiecting the lafter gentleman vith_the Kniglits of the Gulden Cirtlo. This brought out ZacK Ciiamu.í i:. who is roportcd as saying of t!ie Kalghts: " A bout thut timo 'the Knighti of the Golden Circle,' as I was mforiued and believe, cune to to the resol ut ion that they would )e more pntriotic than anjbody else that they would rush ihto tho Federal army; tii.it thej would put men, if pofsible, in cvory regimeut of tlic Federal army; and, to my cérlain hnowledge, tncj dtd succecd m gcliing a lar ge TtUinler of the worst tradors in the United States mu, fhe 1 ederal army; and they are there now." Is Senator Ciia.iler a " Knight ?!' If not how has he " eeriain laowlcdge?' and why don't he exposé the " traitors,'" and have them driven out of the Federal army ? Men who knoic so miich should jive tho Goverumcnt the benefit of tiicir knowledge. 1 1 1 m m ■ ■ i - ■ ' t3P The Ilcpublican journals of the State are still " harping on my grauny," or n less clussieal language are ringiog the changos on the Knights, of the Golden Circle, and ' s ch like" treasonabkorganizations. If they lcnoio t lie existence of such an order, and the ñames of its members, why don't tiicy drop generalities, make au expose as s an expose, umnask the Iraitom, and hold tlicm up to the scorn of the public ? If Democratie leaders are plotting treasen in city and town, by day ind night, and you l.now it, knights of the quill, why not file a comphiint, and let the United States Marshal make a descent on the order and bug the game? The fact is these slandercrs know of 110 such order, and can not "spot" the meuibers. The cry is only "a good cnough Morgan," gottcu up to iufluencc the Spring elections, and will not be heard of aftcr Monday nest.
