Und the I'euiocrat any part in tho

sioners are rtprointcd by the Governor,
and every mother's son of them was a
Uaiiical. llio returns show that v-niss
frauds were perpelratod by the Radi
cal. In Spurlanbiirg county (which
you will perceive was curried by llio
Democracy) tin uttempt was made to
put tho Ilcinticrntic candidates for thti
few offices slill elective in tho minori

I do not mean to in-iniiiitu that tho

Comminsioners, for there wus not tho

fore they nro allowed to voto, but
malo negroes, from (il'leen years up

und if in llio exuberance of their pa
iriotixm some of them voto two or
tbreo times each, why, then, repent
ing only helps to "tnuke rebel behave
theineelvcs. I trust that your read
ers nio now thoroughly satisfied us to
tho extent of llio intimidation of Radi
cal voters in this section of South
Carolinu. Thu wilful lio uttered
against tho whiles in Ibis regard is
nailed and clinched by the official
figures given by tho Radicals. Visit
thoso counties, not as n political ud
venturer, not us federal office holder
visit them in your private capacity,

W HATUAVETIlk KU KI.LR ITS STItENOIII.
In none of my letters hnvo I ven
tured lo even ((iiosliitn thu existence
of a Ku Klux oigauizalion. Thai
tbero is or bus been such a thing is
"us plain us a pikestaff." That this
orguiiizatoin, or men supposed to be
long to it, have perpetrated some
wanton and diabolical outrages; thai
somu negroes bavo been brutally
trealed lor no other apparent reason
ihau the fact of their being ItudicaU
uro unquestionably truo. I only as
sert thai evidence bus boon laid before
Hie, since my arrival hero, which
proves that where one man was beaten
because of bis political six wero pun
islied becauae of ibeir Cl inics. Iu this
connection it is interesting to know
what was the original cause of the
sudden increase in the strength of the
Ku Klux in tbeso counties. Some
lilteon or eighteen months ago two
trial justices of Sparlunhurg county
one tho man Fleming I hnvo referred
to before, the other a man named
Walker, a notorious character, who
has twico been before tho courts for
stealing colfon went lo tho farm ol
a man named McCartney (I think
that is tho name), living some fifteen
miles from the town ol Spaitiiiiburg,
and arrested him on somu frivolous
charge. McCartney was n man tigod
about fifty years, and in bad health,
having consumption, flu In proUibly
tlead now, us he was dying when I
kit Spnrliiiihurg this morning. Flem
ing and Walker, on horseback, con
ducted their unfortunate prisoner,
who was on fool, towards tho town
for a short distance, when they turned
him over to mob of about thirty
drunken negroes, all armed with in

This morning I nroso ut nn early

ed that something important was on
the lapis. At dayligbi it was uscer
laitied that the road lending into the
town were picketed by u Ibrco of sol
diers, and that no persons woro al
lowed to leave or to outer. This mili

needless severity. Two carriages con
taining Indies en rotife for iho fair at
Columbia woro stopped at iho picket

engaged in conversation with a lieu
tenant Iho commander of a forco ot
some twenty or thirty infantry, which
was drawn up in line ol buttle in fioni
of llio hotel. The fir-l person urreslcd
was Mr. Hughes, proprietor of the
hotel. His arrest was decidedly sum
mary. Deputy Marshal .Sherman sim
ply called him out bf the hotel, tupped
hi in on thu shoulder and ordered him
lo lake up a position in the midst of
the soldiers 1 supposo.lliat Sherman
bad a warrant fur hit urrest, but bo
exhibited nono und I saw none. All
that I saw was u piece of paper in bis
hand containing n list of names, evi
diinlly of the men to be arrested.
The arrest of Hughes was followed
by the urrest of quite a respee'ublo
looking young man, and the soldiers
then stalled lor the depot with their
Iwo prisoners. Beforo lliey had gone
ono hundred yards Sherman whisper
ed a few words lo the lieutenant, alter
cotisiilliiig his black list, and tl squad
uf four soldiers wus told off and start
ed oil iu another direction with him
Presently another squad was told off
and another; all ol which bad been
sent to mnko arrests. Probably four
or live squads Was scouring thu town
at one time.
A PAINFUL SPECTACLE.

witnessed. Hit violenco was offered

ARREST OF COLONEL M'kISSICK.
Yoslerday I telegraphed you that
among the twonty-ono persons urrost
ed in Unioiivillo on Wednesday was
Colonel Istitio IC. McK Bsick. This is
Ihc most Important urrest yet nitido,
tho prisoner being a lawyer of dis
lincliuii and influuuco iu Ibis part ol

cralio candidato for Congress in this
district lust your and was returned i.s
def'euted by the Stato Cunvusser. Hi
opponnt, one A.S. Wallace, now holds
a soul in Congress, und to tho direct
agency of this man la utlributed the
present condition of n Hairs in South
Carolina. In my lust letter from Un
ioiiville I explained how atrocious hud
been tho Helical frauds ut the lust
election, und il was onliioly owing to
tbeso frauds thai Wallace roceivoJan
apparent inujoriiy of the voles cast.
McKinsjck is now a contestant for his
seal , und lor months past has been col
lecting evidence to lay before the Com.
millee on Con touted Seals His arrest
his astonished everybody, as ho is
genorally regarded us conservative,
almost to timidity, uud us the last man
likely lo belong lo tho Ku Klux or
ganizalion. It does seem singular
that u good lawyer, such as be is should
become a member of u seurot society
banned by the law. Among the whites
tho impression is general that A. S.
Wulluco engineered tho arrest for the
purpose of gelling rid of him as aeon
leslunt for the scut he now holds.
DESTIKiyiNO TDK WHITE POPULATION.
Unioiivillo is ulmost depopulated of
its white men. A largo number ol
arrests have been mndo, and an equal
ly largo number bavo voluntarily left
the place rather than run the risk ot
being thrown into prison. Tho village
does not contain more than thirteen
hundred inhabitants, nearly one half
of whom are iiegrnos : hence il is eusy
lo see how the nbenco of one hundred
while men cun injure, it. In ull cases
llio white women und children have
been left ut homo. In the lown they
uro well protected by tho presence of
tho United Slate soldiers, so that if
they suffer ii must bo from want or
mental uuxiely. In tho country,
however, Iho situation is very grave.
Many men have either left or been
imprisoned and their families ure on
their plantations without any while
protectors whatever. The increased
arrogance und insolence of the negroes,
of which I have been n witness my
self, has given lisc to u feeling of deep
unxiety tor ibeso protectories white
women and children. In some I oca I i
ties there is not a wliilo man to be
found fin- miles nrotind, while on every
plantation aro dozens of negroes, their
minds filled with llio notion thul tho
United States government is einh
lisbed for their special benefit anil that
they can do us they please with itti
punily. Ladies on theso plantations
aro now compelled to submit towhut
ever insolence their servants may give
Ilium. Ono lady uss'trcd me tbut she
bad found it neuessary lo stifle pride
und assume an air of tlio deepest re
spent and courtesy, nol to say rever
ence, to every negro on her plantation,
and when sbo goes to bed at night il
is with the iilmosi terror.
INSOLENCE 01' THE NEGROES.
Ono fact concerning tho negro is
that ho is a thorough coward nt heart
and u perfect hypocrite. Until Con

submissive and civil, and nobody ever
thought of disturbing him because he
was free. After bo wa given the vote

a black man, and w-hun tbut blneb mini

the fact Ihut tho Stalo government

ensus in which negroe have been
whipped, wliilo men belonging to Ibis
class buve been lliu perpetrators, and
I have no doubt thul in very many of
them tho cause was found iu iho indis
