SOUTHERN OUTRAGES.
Terrible Condition of Affairs ia South Caro
lina the Uovernor and Other State OHIcera
Ordered to Leave the Mtate One County Left
Without Officers United Statea Troops Called
for to K store Order.
A Washington despatch to the N. Y. Tribune
says: Prominent Republicans who have arrived
here within a day or two from South Carolina,
and letters received here from the capital of that
State to day, report that Gov. Scott, at the ad
vice of many leading men of both parties, held
a conference last Tuesday with representative
Democrats from about twenty-five counties of
the State, for the purpose of consulting
as to the best means of restoring order. The
only Republicans present were the Governer,
Attorney-General Chamberlain, and Mr. L. C.
Carpenter, editor cf the Columbia Daily Union.
Many very fair speeches were made by Demo
crats present, and the only complaint which
they made was of the insolence of the colored
militia. This was admitted to some extent, and
means will be taken to remedy the evil. General
Kershaw, however, made a very bitter speech, in
which he announced that, in his opinion, and that
of many of his friends, the only way to restore
peace, and prevent what the Governor termed
"outrages," but which he (Kershaw) regarded
as but the just indignation of a plundered
people, was for the scoundrelly "carpet-baggers"
from the North, and the rascally "scalawags"
of the South, to resign the offices they had
usurped, and leave those States in the hands of
Southern "gentlemen." He added that he beard
that General Butler had a bill before Congress,
in which it was proposed to send a Ku-klux com
missioner into every Southern county. He did
not know that there was a single Ku-klux in
Kershaw county, but, if such a commissioner
should be sent there, a Ku-klux would be pro
vided for his especial benefit, and that only one
such commissioner would ever go there. The
day after this conference, the following notice
was posted on the bulletin board of the court
house in Union county. The original is ex
hibited in tnis city tnis evening:
Headquarters Ninth Division, S. C. Special
Orders, No. 3, K. K. K. "Ignorance is the curse or
JO(L"
For this reason we are determined that members
or tne .Legislature, the School Commissioners, and
the County Commissioners or I'nlon shall no longer
oniciaie.
Fifteen (IB) days' notice from this date is given.
and ir they, one and all, do not at once and forever
resign their present inhuman, disgraceful, and out
rageous rule, men retributive injustice will as
surely be used as night follows days.
Also. An honest man Is the noblest work of God.
For this reason, if the clerk of the said Board of
County Commissioners and School Commissioners
does not Immediately renounce and relinquish Ills
present position, then harsher measures than this
will moBt assuredly and certainly be used. For con
firmation, reference to the orders heretofore pub
lished in the Union Wtekla Timet and Yorkvllle
Enquirer will more fu.ly and completely show our
intention.
By order Grand Chief, A. O., Grand Secretary.
March 9, A. I). 1871.
In obedience to this order, the Sheriff, County
commissioners, ana escuooi commissioners nave
resigned, and tne county is without officers.
The Democrats have asked Governor Scott to
order a special election, but as that would only
insure the choice of Democrats, he refuses to
doit. The following telegram was received
here to-day:
Office ok "The Union." Columbia. S. C. March
19, 1871 9 80 P. M. L. Cass Carpenter, Bigger, and
A. Parser, of Clarendon, were taken to the swamp
on Wednesday night, by disguised men, tied to
trees, and were about to be shot, when they saved
themselves, as I did at Laurens, by Masonic signs.
The leader told Bigger and A. Parker that he could
insure their lives but fourteen hours In the State.
Tney have laid out nlguts, and finally reached here.
E. VV. Eversoh.
Bigger's property, consisting of store, house,
stock, etc., was burned by the Ku-klux last
December, simply because he bought and
traded in the produce of the negroes, while he
was tied to a tree and made to witness it. He
had been to Columbia to obtain relief from the
Legislature, and had lust returned home when
the circumstances related above occurred.
The latest news from the canital of South
Carolina is that Governor 8cott, State Treasurer
Parker, and Controller-General Neagle received

South Carolina, will meet the President to
morrow, and ask that troops be sent to the
fciate.
AMERICA ASP AUSTRALIA.
What We Bend to the Great Island.
The value of American goods used in Australia
amounts to several millions of dollars annually.
In what may be called the domestic department
American manutactures reign almost supreme.
The flour from which the bread is made, the
oven in which it is baked, and the broom
with which tne industrious housewife clears
away dust and cobwebs (says an exchange) all
hall from America. Enter the house of an
artisan, his own property in most . cases, and
you will find that it is Dutit wun American lum
ber; the doors and window sashes are American;
the chair in which you sit is American; the
table on which he takes his frugal meal, and
the wooden bedsteads where he sleeps, are
American. If he has bacon for dinner, the
chances are that it once ran free in the woods
of Ohio; if he has fish, they have come from
Newfoundland; his coffee is from Jamaica, and
his rice from Carolina. If he has babies about
the house, they are fed on maizena from New
York. No lumberer will use any other than an
American axe, and the traveller arms himself
with ft revolver from America. Tubs, pails, and
wooden war in general ve all American. Yet
verv lit Us of the trade is carried on in American
tuips or from American ports. It passes through
the hands of some English house, whose owners
make sure of their percentage before it reaches
the merchants in Melbourne, Sydney, Auckland,
jLdelde, UoUrt Town, or Erjsbane.
ATTEMPTED BASK ROBBERY.
The Itbbtra Dent, Rb a Mm la
the JlafidlBC.
The lucceea of the Kensington Bank robbery
seems to have given the cue to rogue in other
parts of the country. The following outrage
has been briefly reported by telegraph, but
details found In the Pittsburg Chronicle of last
evening will be read with interest:
Last night, at about 11 o'clock, a most villain
ous and fortunately unsuccessful attempt was
made to rob the bank at Indiana, Pa. The par
ticulars of the affair, as we have been able to
obtain them, are as follows: Mr. W. R. Allison,
the operator of the Western Union Telegraph
line at Indiana, has his oltlce in the same build-
lug with toe bant, and sleeps in the omce. Last
night he had been out spending the evening at a
friend's house, and returned to the building at
about 11 o clock, as be approached tne door
of the building, he found four men standing
there, one of whom said something about wish
ing to send a telegraphic despatch. Mr. Allison
opened the door and the men passed inside
wun mm. as soon as tney entered tne
building, one of tne men knocked Mr. A. down
with a mallet, striking him on the head and in
juring him seriously. They then bound and
gagged him, one 01 them Holding a revolver at
his head while the operation was being per
formed. This accomplished, they dragged him
into the bank and commenced operations on the
safe. Before they had effected an entrance to
the safe something occurred to frighten them,
and they fled; but not until they had robbed Mr.
Allison 01 eu in money, me wounded man
remained undiscovered until five o'clock this
morning, when some person employed about the
building discovered him. He was found so se
verely injured that he had to be carried to his
home, being unable to walk. The robbers are
unknown. No word of the affair has been re
ceived by the authorities here; so it is probable
that the Indiana officers think the villains took
some other direction than this.
THE UTAH SILTER MINES.
The Salt Lake Kealon Well Started In the
mining llace,
A Utah correspondent writes:
Never before was a Western community so
well started off in the mining race as that of
L tali, and sever did one so badly need to enter
upon and make the most of it, for ia it is
wrapped up the question of the peaceful
regeneration or Utah, it is probably the only
remedy that would reach her disease. Agri
culture and manufactures are well estab
lished in Utah. There are 800 to 400 miles of
railroads and more projected. There are thou
sands of hardy and needy laborers waiting for
work. The men who are taking hold of mining
have had twenty years of costly experience.
The mines are very acceseible. They are com
paratively low in altitude, insuring a favorable
climate. They are uniformly contiguous to
fertile valleys settled by a sober and industrious
people, which, with the railroads completed,
guarantee supplies, tools, provisions, and labor
at very reasonable rates, perhaps at less than 50
per cent, of the cost heretofore.
The country is well enough supplied with
wood and water for all needful purposes. There
is plenty of good combustible coal, which can
be used in the blast furnace (for smelting iron),
and in the smith's forge, as well as otherwise, on
the route of the Pacific Kailraad, and fur South,
on the route of future railroads. There is iron
ore, in the varieties, and accompanied by the
fluxes necessary to successful smelting. Every
thing is lavorame. is tin n is no place tor mere
adventurers. Prospectors of experience, to
hunt up the mineral treasures concealed by the
sou, capital and skin to extract tnem irom tne
earth and from their gangue, are all we need or
want.
SINGULAR SUICIDE.
A Wan Jumita from a Bridge and Bntta Ilia
uetM Aaiaat n rier.
The Lancaster Express of last evening says:
A singular suicide was committed yesterday
afternoon, tit 1 o'clock, at Witmer's bridge, on
the Philadelphia turnpike. A man apparently
about fifty years oi age was seen walking back
ward and forward on the bridge, seemingly in a
spirit of unrest, which finally culminated in his
mounting on the side walls, where he continued
bis perilous wain at times balancing as though
to recover his equilibrium. The ladies of the
neighborhood noticed his peril and requested a
gentleman and a boy to remove him. These
persons started towards him, but before they
reached him he stepped back on the bridge, re
moved his hat, coat, and vest, tearing the latter
in half and tying a portion of it around his neck
and moutn and men deliberately jumped irom
the bridge to the stream below, plunging down
headforemost. After he reached the bottom of
the creek he rose up erect (the water betas
shallow), and then butted bis head against one
of the piers, tailing bacK and noating away with
the current. His body then floated down the
stream a distance of two hundred and fifty
yards, where it was recovered and brought to
shore.
THE OLD STORY.
A misplaced Switch Disaster on the Alorrla
aoi .ssex ttuurona.
At about 1 o'clock on Sunday morning a dis
astrous collision occurred on the Morris and
Essex Railroad lust east of the Bergen tuunel
The down freight train, headed by the engine
Sam Schock, had Just passed through the tunnel
on its way to lloboken when it ran into a lino
of freight cars standing on a side-track. The
switchman at the place had neglected to adjust
the switch for the passage of the train upon its
proper track, and hence the collision. The engi
neer of the freight train was thrown headloug
into the swamp and badly injured. The fire
man was so badly scalded that but slight hope
oi his recovery is entertained, ine damage to
property was considerable. Four coal cars and
one freight car were wrecked, and the engine
was damaged almost beyond repair. The loss on
property is estimated at 420,000.

Views of a Prominent English Builder.
A ttrominest English shipbuilder, and the
founder of a large iron shipbuilding company,
on the river Tvne, at a recent meeting of the
Iron and Steel Institute, in England, read an in
interesting paper upon the relative merits of iron
and wood in the construction of vessels. Among
other things, he satisfactorily demonstrated that,
in case of vessels of one thousand tons burden,
a ship built of iron will weigh thirty-five per
cent, less than a wooden vessel of the same
measurement, the displacement being the same.
The former will not only carry more weight, but
as its wans are oniy nail the thickness or the
wooden ones, will be enabled to accommodate a
greater bulk of cargo. lu the iron ship it Is pos
sible to reach a far greater degree of strength,
and to build with longer and finer lines, so that
higher sailing qualities, greater speed and larger
carrying power are attained as the great com
mercial results. The gentleman contended that
a ship constructed of iron is not liable to strain
in a heavy sea, while wooden ones in this way
alone frequently cause the destruction of valua
ble cargoes. By the use of iron masts, steel
yards aud wire rigging he demonstrated that a
greater saving of weight may be effected, and
larger facilities offered for the application of
improved reeling sails and other labor-saving
appliances. In fact, he insisted that such a ves
sel could carry freight at least twenty-five per
cent, cheaper than a wooden one of the same
measurement. His views upon the subject ap
pear to have been received with much favor by
the members of the association.

HEAKT-IIENDIXG DISASTER.
Two Younac lndes and a Utile Boy Burned to
veam.
The Indiana (Pa.) J3eiocra says:
On Tuesday night. 7th instant, a youmr man
named William Hopkins, Jr., son of William
Hopkins, residing in .ast Mahoning township,
in this county, returned home to his father s
house some time after the family had retired- to
bed. Upon entering the dpor young Hopkins
remarked that there was an odor as of some
thing burning in the house. His mother, who
with the father slept on the lower lloor, there
upon arose from bed, and she and ber son made
search ior the suspected lire, i inaing no cause
for alarm they retired to bed, the young man
to the upper story. On the upper floor, in
another bed, were sleeping two daughters of
Mr. Hopkins, aged respectively eighteen and
twenty years, and a little nephew, also named
Hopkins, aged between three and four years,
who bad been adopted into the family.
Late in the night the elder Mr. Hopkins was
awakened by the crackling of fire. Instantly
perceiving that the house was ablaze, he gave
the alarm, and his son np stairs sprang from his
bed and rushed to the stairway, which, being
enveloped in flames and partly consumed, gave
way under his weight, but ne ionunateiy came
off with bis life. The other unconscious sleepers
up stairs were called to with agonizing energy,
but from whom came no response, save that the
little boy was once heard to scream. A ladder
was hastily procured and raised to the upper
window, and an attempt made to rescue the
unfortunates, but loud calls could not rouse
them, and to reach them through the wall of
flame enveloping them was impossible. The
elder Mr. Hopkins in the attempt to do so, aud
to save his children s lives, was so seriously la-
lured by inhaling; the names that his own lire
was well-nigh sacrificed, and he is yet in a pre
carious condition. A number of the nelarhbors
who bad now caught up the alarm arrived, but
only in time to witness, not to prevent, the
sickenine: catastrophe. Help was unavailing
The flames leaped and swelled with a cruel in
tensity, and soon the upper noor leu, and with

the three had slept.
When at last it became possible to recover ine
remains of the unfortunates who had so fear
fully perished, a truly dreadful eight was re
vealed. The two young ladies and child had
been burned to literal cinders and ashes, except
that a portion of the chest ot one or the ladies
yet retained some of its form, though blackened
and charred to a crisp. Never before has so
heart-rending an occurrence happened in In
diana county. The remains or the three were
eathered together, placed in the same coffin.
and afterwards interred. Various theories are
suggested as to the cause of the fire, the most
nrnhahle one beiner that it originated from a
spark that had fallen into the wood-box and
there smouiaerca at last uhu mime.
