A Great Outrage. On the day of the funeral of VOLNEY POWELL, when our people, without respect to party, and without consideration of the circumstances of his death, were thronging the streets, to make expression of their sympathy with the honored family of the dead, the Signal published an extra, containing the ex parte statement of a Mr. MANN, formerly of this county, and now in South Carolina, in which the slayers of Mr. POWELL are called, [smudged] K. K. K. (Ku Klux Klan) Democrats, and Rebels. The Democrats here assembled at the funeral, were insulted by an extra Signal, scattered broadcast, in which it is said "the Ku Klux Klan "were in heavy force;" and that "five Democrats were killed and a large number wounded." In another place the phraseology is changed, and we are told that "several Rebs were killed."

This is not only an outrage upon every Democrat in attendance, but it was a most flagrant desecration of the solemnities of the funeral. Not only was it calculated to arouse angry partisan feeling in the breasts of those who were willing, for that day, at least, to suppress it; but is was an attempt, characteristic of Republican leaders, to make party capital of bloodshed, which they had themselves provoked and caused. "Here," said they to themselves, "are the remains of VOLNEY POWEL. How many votes can we make to-day by his funeral? How much prejudice can we excite against the Democracy of Henry county, by proclaiming the Ku Klux, Democrats and Rebels, are one and the same thing, here and in South Carolina?" And there and then in the presence of heart-broken relatives, in the midst of sympathizing friends, by the side of the coffined dead, scurrilous partisan letters were peddled to all who would accept and read them!

We know that Republicans, generally, condemn this outrage as heartily as we do, and we do the party at large the justice to say that outside of the Revenue Ring it will meet only with their condemnation.
