Boston NEW ENGLAND FARMER April 11, 1868:
AN IMPORTANT ORDER.--The Ku-Klux Klan, so-called, have obtained a recognition from Gen. Meade, who on Saturday issued an order which declares that certain murders and outrages of recent occurrence in Georgia were the acts of a secret organization, and warns all citizens from participation in its work of intimidation of voters. Gen. Meade includes inflammatory newspaper articles and speeches among the means employed in this business, and gives warning that the authors of such will be liable to trial and punishment by military commission.
