[PROM OUE OWN CORRESPONDENT]
CHARLESTON, S. C., Angus* 5th, 1871.
Our citj, which, as is well known far
and wide, baa been suffering for several
jearspast under the aad rule and ruin
of Radicalism, is now rejoicing in her
complete redemption. Her robes of
mourning and despondency, have been
laid aside for the glad garments of
prosperity, progress and peace. Intelli?
gence, worth, brain and honest govern?
ment, will now assert their supremacy
over ignorance, misrule, rowdyism and
roguery. The pulse of the State will
now beat healthily, nader the inspiration
of the triumph of conservatism here,
which will be echoed and reechoed by
her press from every to every quarter
of her proud domain. The anuoying
and disgusting scenes, which have
marked the popular election through
which we have just past, having been
confined to the Republican ranks, bave^
rolled up for our conservative ticket a
majority as remarkable as it was un?
expected. And how is this glorious
result celebrated and enjoyed ? Cer
tainly not in that boisterous crowing
in those rowdy torch light processions
that have always followed the successes
of the riff raff cohorts, but io that quiet
dignity and repose, your correspondent
is proud to chronicle, so befitting the
descendants of a chivalrous, rtfioed and
noble atcestry. While Mayor Pillsbury,
doubtless in the hope of conciliating his
party, very reluctautly joined in arrange
ments to preserve the peace of the city
a lew days since, he yet sent round an
invitation to prominent citizens of the
place., to meet him in consultation
yesterday, for the furtherance as he said
of devising means calculated to meet
and quiet the great excitement in his
opinion then existing. The fact of the
matter is just this : there is now no
excitement or desire to create riot and
disturbance in Charleston, by any other
class than those that constitute Mayor
Pillsbury's satellites themselves. As
long as these people can have their own
swing, and create the impression that
thc only disturbing element in this
community is to be found in any other
element than that embraced in their
own party, all is well, but if otherwise,
and there is the least chance made
apparent that they are iu danger of
being ent short in their ungodly achieve?
ment, cf gains, that should revert to
honesty and legitimate cuds, the hue
and cry are i tu tn ed bte ly raised that !
they are burdened with obstacles and de- j
prived of rights that amount to persecu?
tion the most dire and insupportable.
There is an adage which runs, I
believe, **it is a long lane that has no
turn in it," and again, another that
runs, "every dog has his day." Now,
it really appears to your correspondent, j
that as far m we are concerned, the j
turn in our lane has already been
reached, and that there also is every
evidence that ow tiny too, has already
dawned- Nor in our success, as the
Republicans have endeavored to make
the negroes believe, are the rights and
care of the colored people of this place
to be ignored. There atc no men who
eau better appreciate and understand the
hituation iu which they have been
placed by thc public voice, than does
our excellent Mayor elect, Gen. JOHN
A WAOENER, and the able board of
Aldermen, who are to serve with him.
Du; to the colored as well as to every
other class, they will mete out eve?
justice, and in doing so, will only make
a proper discrimination iu favor of
those among the colored, who have
been most approved fer the consisten. |

whites as their truest friends. I nderi

CHEROKEE SPRINGS, Aug. 3, 18
Mr. Editor :-Your readers have
idea how nice a place this is. Inst?
of spending their money at the fashio
ble watering places at the North, if <
people would only patronize ho
! places, the proprietors could afford
make all those improvements whi
rc oder-thc Northern resorts so attr;
tive.
Nature has done as much for tl
place as for Saratoga. The "spring
tare situated about eight miles Non
cast from Spartacburg C. II. T
country is very billy, and the predon
oeoce of red clay and rocks soon ad vis
you that you are io a very diff?re
region from the sand flats of Sumter.
The atmosphere is very pleasant, d
lightfully cool at night, and not at i
oppressive in the day time. There is
lightness about the air, which is chara
'eristic of the mountains. Thc Bil
Ridge chain is within a few miles, at
some of the mountains eao be ?ees fro
elevated spots on a clear day. T!
boarding house is built on the top i
a little knoll cr hillock, which slop
gently down in all directions. The how
is not very large, sod is not built in il
most approved style, but does very wei
and is extremely well kept, both as 1
the table and other points. The cookin
is excellent, the poultry fat and juic;
the beef and mutton good, and everj
thing is abundant. You bave goo
coffee, plenty of fresh and nite butte:
Everything is clean. Attentive servant
a polite and considerate host and agreei
ble company, make the place quit
pleasant, for persons who really see1
health, recreation and rest.
The spring is highly charged wit
mineral properties, the most strong!
pronounced being iron. Next come
nitre, and then magnesia and sulphui
The water is delightfully cool, an
quite agreeable to the taste. It is usc
for all purposes. The baths arc neces
sarily very cold, but if eue exercise
prudence, and docs not remain in th
water too lorg, the e?ect is extrcmel;
invigorating. Numerous testimonial
(rom persons of high standing, in th<
State, evince the value of the waters Ii
a medicinal view.
All that is wanted here is patronage
It is true, there is a class of pleasure
seekers who had better not come here
I allude to those who regard dancing
ax the summum bonum of human hap
pioess. Also those who thick it ot
harm to got tipsy or gamble at a wa?
teriug plaoc. Ali such persons mus!
go elsewhere. The owoers and keepers
of these spring? are religious people,
who do not sacrifice their conscientious
scruples for their iuterev.. Your cor?
respondent, who never played a game
of cards in his life, and whose happi?
ness is not affected by the absence of
the "Deux Tempe," "i he Gentian" or
the bar-room, finds it very plea??
ant indeed. We have a good ten-pin
allej, two professors in thc house, tie
waters, magnificent shades, picturesque
scenery, cool auti bracing climate, good
eating, and uo atuusemeu's of doubtful
propriety to leave liogeriog regrets
bel ad.
If people are not satisfied with this
place, let them betake themselves to the
mixed assemblages of Saratoga or Long
Branch-whrre you will lisse the ex?
treme felicity of meefir.g all the hone*
jockey?, gamblers and tho worst of both
sexes in the dance, at the table and on
the promenade.
In my next I will give you a nore
detailed account of the surrounding

TUB KD'KLUX INTBST16ATI4
We pri?t, on another column, w
we suppose maj be considered
semi official report of the Sab Coma
tee sent to South Carolina to look al
the Ku Klux bag bear. It was to
expected that a tale of " n w head f
bloody bene-" would be conjured
for effect apon the Northern masses
looking to the next Presidential el
t?on. This is the whole business. H
far it will be successful remains To
sean. The Northern people are beg
sing to sae through this sort of this
and this rery report, it would sec
must let out sufficient, truth to Si
discredit apon the whole effort.
If we may judge from (he stateme
of Senator SCOTT and Bepresentat
STEVENSON, the Republican memb
of the committee, remarks the N
York Sun, it would seem that they ci
fined themselves, while in Sooth Ca
lina, wholly to the examination of t
alledged victims of thc Ka Klux a
their carpet bag allies, without attemj
ing, at ail, to inform themselves
facts, as coming from the truthful a
respectable people of the country. Tl
is no doubt the case, and any one, wi
ordinary acquaintance with the sitt
tioo in this State, must know how i
terly unreliable must bc the mass
statements, gathered op from nen,
sources, prompted and put forward
mean while men. Everything of vi
lenee resulting from the evil .passio
of men, is pat down to the account
the, Ku-KIux, and magnified ai
distorted until scarcely a grain of tru
could be sifted therefrom.
Representative VAN TRUMP, hoi
ever, the only Democratic member
the Committee, was a decided difficui
io the way. A modicum of truth, at leaf
has been evolved through his connextc
with this Radical strategy. While 1
admits that whippings and, in mat
cases, even murders, have been con
mitted among the colored people, he
slow to admit that there were invariabl
as is claimed, the penalty of voting tl
Republican ticket. Aud ia this t
oomes to the side of truth, gather?
from the intelligent and reliable citizet
he caused to bc summoned before tb
Committee. He bad judges, lawyer
ex'governers, and educated men <
different political sentiments before bin
And these witnesses were unanimous i
io the belief that Ku-Kluxism in Soul
Carolina is the natural result of th
infamous and scandalous rule to whic
the good people o?' thia State Bave bee
subjected siacc thc so called reconstru?
tioo.
io the semi-official report of SCOT
and STEVENSON it is stated that i
every ease the colored victims of th
Ku Klux were forced to forswea
Republicanism, and, as an evidence o
thia, attention is called to a opy of
newspaper containing forty-two card
signed by colored men renouncing thei
allegiance to the Republican party -
These cards, the Committee say, ar
procured by threats and intimidation.
This is not only notoriously false, bu
if these men, io their blind fanaticisn
and adherence to the fortunes of Radi
ca Hi rn, really believe such to be fact
tbey will find themselves sadly mis
takes. Colored men of the better olass
all over the State, are voluntarily re
nouncing tho party and leaders, wh<
have deceived them so often. Gradually
they begin to see the rascally charactei
of the carpet baggers and scalawags
who have made tools of them, only thal
they might be foisted into position tc
fill their pockets. Many of them have
acknowledged thia at Columbia and
Charleston, wiihout fear or even thought
of a Ku-Klux Land. And the reoent
cf ' inuuieipal eleotiou of Charleston
fctvea abundant testimony of the fact.
More than a thousand colored men
voted against their former leaders and
what waa left of the Radical organiza
tioo of that city. This for the sea coast
where a Ku-Klux is not beard of. At
York, an indignation meeting was some
time since held by the colored people,
the remit of which waa thal the Radical
official* were called oo to resign.
Upon the whola, wa think the Radi?
cal wire workers will make but little
out of this Ka Klux investigation
business.
THE CHARLESTON ELECTION.

Return qf'?h?'Snb Committee-A Sor
rid State of Affair*-Shocking De?
tails of Outrages.
The sub-committee, consisting of
Senator - Scott and .Representatives
Stevenson and Van Trump, reached
Washington at noon on Saturday, after
a sojourn of four weeks io different"
sections of South Carol ia, where they
have been holding sessions and inves?
tigating into the condition of affairs
affecting the peace and order pf tue
State and society.
They first visited the capital, Colombia,
More than, a hundred refugees who had
fled from violence in various counties
were there, but after examining wituest
ses for two days the committee deter?
mined ; o go closer to the scenes of)
al leg. 1 v'..lenee,and went to Spartan
barg. They expected to remain there1
three or four days, but stayed eleven.
When word got through Spartapburg
county that they were there, the whites
and negroes, victims ot violence, came in
by scores every day from all directions.
Murders and cruel whippings by the
kuklux bands had so terrified them that
in many .neighborhoods nearly every
negroman and Republican white man
bad slept in tbe woods for mouths every
night. They showed scarrified' backs,
gun shot wounds, maimed ears, and
other proofs of violence they had
suffered.
In Limestone Spring township one
hundred and eighteen cases of whip?
ping were proved. The comm:'.tee
awoke every morning to find io the yarri
by the hotel a new crowd of victims of
ku klux. Some, including whites, had
so?ered outrages which cannot jue
described with decency. After being
whipped, the victims, if well koo.sa
persons, were often commanded, uuder
pain of death, to publish a card
renouncing the Republican party. In
a file of the Sooth Carolina Spartan,
the D?mocratie Newspaper, forty-two
such cards were found recently pub?
lished!
At Unionville the committee stayed
two days. Not an avowed whit?: Ke
publican was found in th? plaee, though
members of the committee were pri?
vately assured by a few that tbty tjrould
avow themselves if protected. ; The
terror of the negroes here is com plete
The last election was carried by a
Rep?blica! majority, but tb? Repub?
lican county officers received kx' klux
notices, and all resigned or fled. I The
policy there has been more toward
murder ar>d Ieee toward Whipping. The
killing of ten negroes, taken frccu the
jail by several hundred ku kiar,
sating uoder military organisation, was
investigated. A prominent lawya-r ef
the place, a Democrat, on eroses exami?
nation, startled the committee by
stating that he believed almost e?.very
i respectable un m "ried young Baft ia
the community belonged to the* ka
klux. !
A negro Methodist preacher, ntl med
Lewis Thompson, who had an app-pint
ment, June 16, at Goabed Hill Chu rch,
Union eontty, received a ka klux
notice in the usual form not to preach.
He preached, notwithstanding, to a very
few, most of the congregation fleeing
when they saw the . notice. In ?he
evening a clan of twenty mouoteft ko
klux came, tied bia and whipped him,
led hioj off several times, dragging* bio
part of the way, tied to Uta norse, ?jhip?
ped him again until near death,
mutillated him ia a way that cunno*
with propriety be described ; bung bia?,
snd threw the body into Tiger riper,
leaving a notice forbidding.any oas. to
bury him. Before tba committee ra>
turned, Senator Scott swot Thompson's
brother, now a refugee, from Columbia
to Union county, with a tetter to; ensure
him a strong guard of th? United
States cavalry to gp with bim sud bury
the body, which waa reponed to? be still
lying half decomposed on tba water's
edge.
Two more day? were spent ic exam

The committee thea visited York
county, where they remained nearly a
week. They chico ver&d at York vii le a
bitter spirit among the whit? oitixens.
At supper, at tb? hotel, wo ?he evening
of their arrivai, Major James Berry
threw a pitcher of. milk over Hon. A.

still living when thc. committee left -
The testimony fakeu . subsequently
showed that policeman and the Mayor
or intendant were members of tbe ku
klux. No cae was arrested.
The Community in York county was
found to be in almost utter social and
political demoralization, the civil
authority being a useless farce and a i
mockery of the victims of the ku-klux
clans. '' Colonel Merrill, in command
of*?i small force stationed there", an officer
of high character and great energy, lard
before the committe the details ol sixty
eight cases of ootrage whick he had
investigated-some of theo, most
revolting and. .horrible. It wis found

more than a small- part of the crowds of

wretches.who flocked in upon), bearing
of their coming. When tbe committee
adjourned tbe building in ?hieb they
had sat waa filled--stairs), balls sod
porches-with those waiting to be
heard. The? usual course pursued on
arriving at a plane was to divide the
time they,expected to remain .between
tbe ma, or i ty. and the inioority of the
committee. J udge Van Trump usually
called two or three ol the. most promi?
nent lawyers, who each occupied several
hours in setting forth the Dem oe-alic
.view of affairs, giving, tbeir opinions on
the relations of the. two races, the
inefficiency and corruption of the State
government, and the feeling of the
while people towards the General
Government. '1 bey always said they
had beard of the ku klux, bot never
taw ene ; generally they seemed to
regard them as a kind of vigilance
committee or irregular pelioe ; did not
consider thea under general organisa?
tion, bat simply to*, repress outbreaks.
The majority then called those who bad
seen and felt ibo ku-klux. The oaths,
forms ot proceeding in klan councils,
and modes of operation when riding-on
raids were fully developed. Seores ol
men, whom the proof snowed to bc ko
klux, were examined, all nf whom, ex?
cept a few whose disclosures were fnll
and important, denied any knowledge
whatever of ku klux. One, who wat
shown to have been in several cruel
outrages, swore that he bad never beare
of the existence of ku klux in his life
Judge Vas Trump subjected all thc
witnesses called by the majority to tb?
mest searching orou-cxamination.

HONOR WASHED IN BLOOD. t
We wish there could be a " new
deportare " ?n that tone of societj which
demanda that wounded honor should be
washed in human blood.
The tongue of slander is glib ard
active. An evil word spoken in haste
is indiscreetly conveyed, and, in ita
repetition, often exaggerated. Bcd -i
blood is generated, and human blocd
flows, desolating the household, leaving
widows and orphans the victims of pas?
sion, and wounded honor washed io blood
smells no sweeter for the lurid ablation. .*
These thoughts come upon reading
the sad tragedy enacted recently in
New Orleans. Mr. Raioey having been j
in business with Mr. Boyd, was dissat?
isfied with bis management, and spoke ^
of Boyd as a thief. Boyd called on him k
and asked him to retract. Rainey ...
refused. Boyd shot and killed him E
instantly, without any warniug or threat.
Both parties moved io respectable cir- J?
cles. Boyd was a cotton press man. ?
Rainey W33 the book keeper of a.?Q
national bank. Has Boyd proven, by j
being a murderer, (for in law be i?|j|
nothing else,) that he is not a thief? If j
he has never stolen before, has be not
stolen a precious life from orphan ?
children which he cannot restore?
Why was this killing? Because society 1 .
had heard the whisperings of this foul i
slander, and, unless Boyd killed the
man who cal ed him a thief, hil friends I
and acquaintance would cut him as a ]^
coward?and a poltroon.
How little there is of true courage in
all this ? How blamable the whole
affair ? And yet the surface of present
society is rotten with this polluted j
principle. Msn should learn that time
wears out slander, and that rectitude of
conduct give the lie to cowardice, j
There is true bravery in leaving the ?T?
slanderer to perish in his own eorrup
lion.
We ned a "new departure " to cor?
rect this evil of society, for the sake of, ?Q
(ridow and orphan?. !**
