chanical achievement*-deserve special
? attention at the hands of o or people.
To foster and advance thin great brenoh
pf industry sud the arts, the State Agfi
cn 1 tu ra 1 and Mechanic al Society waa
formed, and annual fairs were established.
Beginning on the 6th of November and
ending ou the evening of November ll*
the third henna! fair of that society is
?boot to be held. It will meet this year
ander disadvantageous circumstances,
resulting from the military rule that
prevails iu nine Counties of the State.
Nevertheless; wa expect a large crowd
and a decided success. Let the State
show the untiring energy of her sons
and the indomitable spirit of her daugh?
ters. Let us 4'broast the blows of cir?
cumstance," and illustrate the pluck, of
?n -unyielding population. The State
fair is not only an industrial institution;
it affords also the chance for a delightful
social re-union. Fair week brings to?
gether the mountains and the sea-board;
and though yellow fever in Charleston
.nd Ctesarism or G ra uti s m in the up?
country must, to some extent, impair
the gathering next week, lot our friends,
all who can, favor us -iib their pr?sence
and their contributions. It will be a
proud spectacle to see Sooth Carolina
risa proudly from the waves that have
rolled ot ev her, and show to the country
ber undaunted crest-proudly illustrat?
ing, her ?noient motto by exhibiting in
bet distress the great principles of
syinrr, ^^TOCES And SOPS. ,
To say nothing of the recreations af?
forded next week, the solid business of
fnirtw.6?k invites a.foll attendance at the
capital.- The ?air itself, the railroad
meeting, tho Survivors1 Association, and
the Ladies'Bazaar, have certainly sub?
stantial ends to attain. It ia enid that
the. Olympian and Pythian Games of
Greece brought together the youth, the
beauty, the manhood and. intellect of
shat land; and although confined mainly
'to feats of strength and savage encoun?
ters, yet it is agreed that they subserved
a very high and useful purpose. It is,
however, a higher civilization that per?
meates our annual gathering, and gives
it ita tone and direction. True, we
have the tournament, the bal), and the
trials of speed, but these are but the in?
cidents of the occasion. Tba main and
most important element o' the fair at?
taches to the peaceful triompha of art
and indnstry.
In Colombia, in particular, let each
good citizen do his part and help the
good cansa Columbia/ we are free to
say, will greet with pleasure the friends
and strangers that may come, and re?
ceive' them with proverbial Carolina hos
nl&ftj.''
Proportional Representation.
Our able co temporary of the Louis?
ville Courier Journal is waking Kentucky
np to the merita of proportional repre?
sentation. The Courier-Journal considers
the various plans that have been pro?
posed-to wit: Tho limited vote, the cu?
mulative vote, the free list syBtem and
the alternative or preferential vote.
Generally, in this country, the cumula?
tive system has been preferred, as in Illi?
nois, Sooth Carolina, and elsewhere.
The Courier-Journal expresses its prefer?
ence for the alternative or preferential
vote, known as Hare's system. This ia a
method by which each voter may cast as
many votes os he chooses for as many
different candidates, in the order of his
preference, one vote being oast for eaob;
the vote for the seoond, or any subse?
quent eboioe, to be counted only in case
the vote for the elector's first ohoice is
not needed to give snoh oandidate the
namber of votes necessary to elect him,
and no voter having more than one of his
Totes ultimately counted. Our judg?
ment leads us to prefer the cumulative
vote-favored by the late Tax-Payers'
Convention in this State. We deem it
simpler in ito workings than the other
methods, and, therefore, to be preferred,
provided it meets the emergency. Thia,
we hold, that it does. We ore gratified
that this subject is gaining more and
more upon tbe public attention. It hus
been remarked that great truths travel
slowly, sod that great reforms cannot be
quickly consummated. Tbey mast be
the result of persevering energy and in?
domitable parposo. That there is u
great question of improved voting and
better government involved in propor?
tional representation, we are sure. As
we have said before, in our agitation of
this subject, it is some form of proper
tioual representation which can preserve
popular government; and it is this, and
' this alone, which can make unlimited
snffrage consistent with the public liber?
ties and the public welfare in genera).
Wo refer to this subject because we feel
a deep i eiterest in it.ac ou jd^trac^ques;
tion of g*pornroeut. We despair ot tho
dominant partyJn tbj?)?3tate aodfepti
log sacha programme. It is! true, we
bali ere that the>lojred -voters might be
disposed to make the concession, as a
matter ultimately to oonduoe to their
j welfare. Bat their oarpeVbag and other j
advisers will control them until the ruling
power IS takbtt. from ??ero. at the ballot

Wheo Dickons drew his oharaeter of
the "Artful Dodger," he mast have had
io bia mind's eye jost auoh a oharaeter as
the Union's editor. After dodging ali
the pertinent questions pat lo it, and
trying to get off on sideor minor issues, it
attempts to show that it had agreed with
the New York Tribune in ita criticism a
npon the "thieving carpet-baggers.
Wc knot; that it did effect to do so, bat
we also know that ils effort to mislead
poblin opinion aa to its real attitude,
was too "thin" for success with persons
of disoernment. We now move to
another point. The Union, in referrirjg
to the subject of the State printing, has
anticipated us only a little. That was
the next matter that wo had determined
to take up before it opened its lipa on
the subject. Some time ago there ap?
peared a communication in the Faaunx
signed "Veritas," making BUudry state?
ments with reference to the Union,
which that journal called false and libel?
lous. It demanded of the proprietor of
the PUOJNIX the name of the writer, that
bo might be sued for libel The proprie?
tor of the PnoBNii protected his corres?
pondent, declined to give the name, and I
took the responsibility. of the alleged |
libel. That Was the end of the affair.
We mention this to say that we had,
and have nothing to do with that article.
But the writer resumes the subject upon
his own . responsibility. We desire to
have a full investigation of the matters
connected with the frauds which he has
reason to believe have been perpetrated
in connection with the State printing.
That the State has been swindled ont of
a large sum of money in this connection,
we have not the shadow of a donbt. As
far as our information fairly carries ns,
we shall go, and we shall expect the
Union to supply all the points it has.
We ask, then:
1. Is it not true that a printing com?
pany was iormed to do the poblio print?
ing, and that it did perform ita work?
2. Before the Union passed into the
hands of the present proprietor, what
was its relationship and the relationship
of its editor to the said company?
3. Is it true, as alleged, that the said
company numbers, or bau numbered,
among ita members Gov. Scott, Speaker
Moues, Comptroller-General Nszgls and
other officials? and was its President not
Josephus Woodruff, the Clerk of the Se?
nate?
4. Is it trae that about $230.000 have
been paid out on account of the poblio
printing nineo the last Legislature-to
say nothing of other oiaimB pending on
this account to the extent of 850,000?
5 Is it trae that of this amount, from
835.000 to 845.000 have been paid for
public printing to about twenty Demo?
cratic papers of the State, and that from
835.000 to 8?5,0J0 have been paid to the
three Radical papers?
6. If so, what has become of the ba?
lance-about 8150.000-paid out on uc
count of the public printing?
7. If there has been loug division or
short division, let us have tho names of
tho utV?o???.
If, now, the Union, or any other party,
oan throw light upon this subject, it
ought to be done. If the matters here
alleged can bu disproved or corrected, let
it be done. Let justice be done. If the
charges made are trae, and we are in?
clined to think that the whole truth has
not been brought out, oar readers can
observe how muuy "cata" we have iu all
the State bins.
Can the Union-will the Union- tell us
and the public what it knows on this
subject? We pause for a reply from
some source. "What is Truth?" We
wait for an answer.
SOUTH CAROLINA BONDS ON 'CHANOS.-'

MB. EDITOR: It is with regret that the
necessity exista of publicly calling the
attention of the City Gounod, and of
thus oomplaioing of the very serious
nuisance, in the existence of that of?
fensive drain perpetually carrying, with
a sluggish ourrent, the offal from tho
Oolumbia Hotel, through Davis' Alley,
aud a considerable distance on Assembly
street. This nuisance is serious, cn ac?
count of the ill health it baa produced
for several months pest. If permitted
to remain, property in this part of the
oity most depreciate in value, and the
fevers already engendered must terminate
seriously. The City Council has been
notified by the City Physician and others
of this very disagreeable nuisance, but it
seems they have let it escape their me?
mory, or have unnecessarily delayed its
removal. And, whilo the Gouuoil de?
lays, diseases are confirmed, and the citi?
zens rendered impatient and dissatis?
fied. Is riot this a matter of the first |
importance? How can pleasure be taken
tn oity improvements as loog ns city
nuisances remain? CITIZEN.
EDITOR OF DAILY PBKEXIX: Tho Daily
Union, of the 1st instant, contains an
article, headed "A Dismal Picture," co?
pied from the Charleston Daily News,
and whioh contains statements that are
false in every particular, and whioh I
will prove to be false, not by my own
j statements or assertions, but by the tes?
timony of those who are entirely disin?
terested as to the truth or falsity of the
I statements contained in the communica?
tion referred to, bat who are deeply in?
terested in the management of the jail.
I submit the certificates of the prisoners
themselves, whose statements oannot be
doubted, and whioh will convince any
unprejudiced mind that the statements
of the correspondent of the Charleston

TB?SITUATION.-Tbe excitement pre
veiling in towD bea somewhat subsided
si noe oar last iasne. 'Since that time
twenty-one arrests have been' made, all
bnt two of whioh were in the coobrry,
and we are informed by Col. Morrill that
ayer 200 persons have tnado OonfeaaiooH
M to their connection with the Ku Kl ax
organisation. Many who have made
confessions say they were simply mem?
bers of -tho Klan, and never took..an ac?
tive part in its operations, nor were en?
gaged io raiding or the commission of
outrage* of any kind. Otberaijpay they
were impelled to join nader threats of
violence, while others give as a reason
that by belonging to the organization
they thought it would afford them means
of protecting the negroes in their em
ploy, in case they should be threatened
at any time; and some assert that by no
other means oould they have been ena?
bled to retain on their plantations the
necessary laboring force to cultivate the
oropa. The confessions are almost inva?
riably accompanied by the names of
those who performed the ceremonies of
initiation, as well as the names of others
who were present on the occasion. Some
who have made confessions acknowledge
to their participation in the commission
of outrages of various kinda-, including
murders, and implicate other persons
who are alleged to have been present.
The following list embraces thoms who
have been arrested since the publication
of our luet issuo, up to 12 o'clock, Tues?

named are negroes, who aro confined in

arrested last week, have since been re?
leased from confinement: Berry Moss,
Sillis Moss, W. Q. Gaffney, Lewis Ram?
sey, James R*ttaree, Dr. J. B. Allison
and W. T. Spencer. From the com?
mencement, 103 persons have been con?
fined in the jail, of whioh number 88 are
yet under confinement in that building,
while thoee who have not been released
are in the guard house. Only two of the
negroes arrested by the military are in
the jail.
Tbe following notice was posted on the
prison door, yesterday:
"On and from thia date, none but im*
mediate relatives, (wives, fathers, mo?
thers, brothers and sisters,) will be per?
mitted to visit the prisoners in jail. By
order of Colonel Merrill."

Major-General Robert Auderson, whose
death at Nice, on the 26th ultimo, bas
been announced by telegraph, was a
native of Jefferson County, Kentucky,
and entered the West Point Military
Academy in 1821. He served in the
Black Hawk war as lieutenant, and dis?
tinguished himself in the Mexican war
by his brilliant conduot on several im?
portant occasions. He also served in the
Florida wars. The opening of the late
civil nar found bim a major in command
at Charleston, where he held Fort Sum?
ter until it was well battered down by
General Beauregard. President Lincoln
rewarded his conduot on that occasion
by promoting him to be a brigadier -
general of the regular army. He was
BOOQ emu pei led, through iii heaith, to
relinquish active service und retired into
private lifo. He was subsequently placed
upon the retired list, the Senate on
February 24, 1865, confirming President
Lincoln s nomination, by which the
