As far as we bars been able to learn, there was quiet and order at all of the voting preelnets on election day, excepting, probably. Some slight altercations, Incident to nil pnblie gatherings. We record the fact with a great deal of satisfaction, for we know that the people of Greenville are anxious to hare law, and order, and peace, prevailing in their midst; and whatever there may be to excite and inflame, they evince this desire at all times. As the law provides for the counting of the otes and declaring of the election on the Tuesday succeeding election day, and as there were some thirty-three hundred votes cast/ distributed amongst thirty odd candidates, we haws not, at the time of going to press, been able to eectrre an oil rial statement. several euei or illegal voting were detect", ed?both white end black. Thoa. Jenkine and Henry Carter, colored, have been arreeted for voting twice, and Edward Brock, and Thomaa Ilawkine, colored, have also been arretted for voting under the lawful age. In the absence of more poaitive information, it ia confidently auppoaed that Carpkntkii, Botlbr, McKirbick, Williams and DootiiT/ are elected in thia County. REFORM TICKET VICTORIOUS! We StOD our Preatt to nnnnnnoo that the iteform Ticket for Greenville, has becu elected by large majorities.

IUursha li'tt Drugstore. Barbarism. In tbe islands and precincts around and about Charleston, where the negroes make up (he great mass of the population, it seems, from the accounts in the Courier, that tbe right of suffrage with the black population, has led them to purely barbarian proceedings. On the day of election, they threatened the fives of those few colored men and white men among them who were known as the friends of Carpkhtkr and Butlkr, and committed divers outrages; in some instances seizing the ballot boxes and chasing and beatiug those who did not vote to please them. Tho negro women were out at the election encouraging wets of violence. This, alas, is what has always been feared of a purely negro population. When in masses to themselves, without a sufficient mixture of whiter, they show a disposition to relupse into their original savageness. In the middle and upper Counties, where a larger number of wbite people are mixed with the negroes, no sweh outrages have been Heard of; and in the upper Districts, where the whites largely predominate, we have not heard of a single negro who was | threatened or disturbed in his voting on the day of tbe election, although the bedy of I , them were very unanimous in voting against the whites?against the very roe* to whom they are indebted for all they know of civilisation and religion. The acts of Congress, which deals out severe punishment against all persons, wbite or ' black, who threaten or disturb any one in ' the free exercise of tbe risht to vote as thev please, ought to b? rigidly enforced against those negroes, as well as against any white man, if there be such, who behaved in the same way, and they may learn to behave themselves hereafter. All men, whether white or black, should be protected in tbeir right of voting for the men or pnrty they may choose to support. In this State, the white population have more to gain from that law of Congress than the other party, although the object may have been different. ? ? 8uiold?, We are pained to announce the death, from suicide, of Mr. J. T. Wescott, a student of the Theological Seminary in this City. On Thursday evening last, in his room in the Seminary Boarding House, between 5 and A o'clock, in a fit of mental aberration, he cut his throat with a rasor. Mr. Wescott was ,v ,.v va>ywv? ?>/ ?i??cnn '/? gitniuiiuonii, and hia moat intimate associates have for some month* past, feared that hia mind waa at timea serionsty affected by tbem. Disordered health, acting upon hia peculiar temperament, waa douhtleaa the canae of tbeae attache.

Mr. Wescorr wes from Bmithvllle, not 1 far from Wilmington, North Carolina, and waa abont 57 years old. Hia funeral was preached i by Dr. Mssi-t, who evinced the deepest ' emotion.

The Republican gives the particulari of these insults, which are too disgusting t< appesr in print The strong denunciation! of the perpetrators in which tlio Republicat iodulges, are certainly justified by the lact it states. No one can excuse such acts, no should any one desire to shield the iosliga tore from merited punishment, no matte what party they belong to. The Republi can represents the cause of the outrage a only polilieal?Democrat Ku Klux versu Republican. We are l?ft in ignoraaec a to the character of the victims, and wbeth er they had ever done or proclaimed any thing calculated to stir up auch ravengeftt proceedings on the part of their neighbors but whatever Ihey may hare dooe or said the conduct of those who punished them ii so brutal a manner is wholly indefensible As usual, the Republican seeks to make po lilical cspilal out of the sbofrrintrblft occfrr rence. From the concluding paragraph o the notice of ihe Republican, it seems that the Democrats or Returners charge thesi outrsges on the Republican party. The Republican says: " As usual, the at. tempt is being made to lay these oulragei upen the Reputdican party. We intend tc investigate this matter thoroughly, and hefore we are through we believe the people will be entirely convinced as to who the guilty parlies are." That is right; let the truth come out as to who they arc. One thing is certain, ilis a base slander to charge such acts against any party. No party, as such, is base enough, we hope and believe, to countenance the outrage. Judge Wm. H. Campbell?Hta Ordination to the Ministry.

Fo" wooks, whole families bad not undressed fo, bed, so great was the apprehension of midnigb{ negro risings, burnings and butcheries. While the United 8tates troops were here, the sound of their reveille and tattoo was considered ai the proclamation of protection to nn armed whites and their defenceless women and child ren. The chief actor and agent in all this wai one notorious Joe Crews, a native citisen o! the County, who has always been a man. o doubtful character, bat who, after the emanei potion of the slaves, attached himself, as a fen egade, to the negroes, and by deceiving and misleading them, and abusing bis own raee had himself elected to the contention and thai to the Legislature erf 1808, and wh a caodi. date again for re-election. Knowing that h< Waa entitled to no eonaideratlon without office be revolted to have himself elected at all has ardsj add knowing that by a fair election ii Latftena, he wonld be beaten by the Conacre elites, who are clearly in the majority, th< aald Crews, with two or three awbordinate on dcr-atreppera, aaaiated by the constabulary force, degraded here from officera to keep tb? peaee to Ugalittd inatigatora ot discord, riol and strife, one of whom . was a candidate fot Prohetc Judge, had worked the poor negfoei into a ftenty of etcitement about the efectlon and intense hatred to the white man. It can be prorod by hundreds of good men, that in his speeches to them, in every hole and corner of the county, he made the most incendiary appeals, marching from one point to another, by night and day, with armed companies of negroes, insulting, outraging and putting in terror tbe peaceable white citiiers of the conn* try. He told them, in bis speeches, that they had tbe State Government, and they mast keep it or die ; that it was necessary for their liberty and safety that he should be elected ; that h? bad put arms in tbeir bands, and they must use them ; that tbey bad tbo torch, and " matches were cheap," and tbsy asust burn snd destroy ; that all over lltses years of age sould tote, for he passed the law himself, Ac At Laurens, be occupied an old, dilapidated building, opposite tbe eourt house, familiarly known as Tin Pot Alley."

Tbus tbii man set himself up with arms and lortificationi in the vefy heart of the town of Laurens. lit constantly had armed bands of negroes, at tb< expense of the County, to guard these head quarters.

A more buld and infam?us fraud, wa solemnly baliera, was navai committed in the history of eUetions. The people were constantly apprebensiva that the armories would he opened, and every wbits man be obliged to fight or fall in defence of hit own fire-side. Once during tbe election day, the negroes, without provocation, bnt influenced by tbe appeals which bad been addressed to them, seeing their numbers and feeling probably the pride of power, eoramsnoed arming, and tbe white people to form in a small but compact mass to resist attaek. A bloody rencontre was imminent, and was probably anly prevented by the prudent and Judicioui course of Colonel Smith, of the United Statei garrison bera, who went in person to where th? negroes were arming at Crews' home arsenal and ordered them to put down tbeir arms, tbat they were the weaker race, and that if they proroked a eollision, they woald go ander. This Is but a feeble outline of the eonrfi. lion of affairs And tli? lata of publish #l< ing produced thereby on the morning after Ihe election when the disturbance eomm*n red. Tiie armed neuron* end constabulary about the lower nrienal nt"Tlo Pot' seemed to be exultant, end some white men were standing about in the aquar* opposite whrn one of the eonstabalary and a eiti* ten were aeen lo be engaged in a fight neat "Tin Pot" The crowd began to gather around, when aome man's piaiol in hi, breaat coat pocket went off accidentally, and immediately there waa received a volley from the doors and windows of the headquarters at " Tin Pot* The cry ran like lightning that the negroes had begun the war. Seeing the er?wd in the arsenal, both at tha lower ami upper windows, opening a fire npon the people In the pnh| o square, tha eitixens who happened to be near the plana at the instant returned the firs with pistols, and rushed upon " Tin Pot," broke down tlio door, rootod th? irmo-1 of row tod took ponwdoo of Uio trni th?r? d?po* ttod.

The occupanta\ of the place, howrrtr, wade off m rapidly ; ae peeaihla through tha back yarda and atreeta. Tbta la all that la certainly known. Tha Court waa then in tawion, Judge Vernon prealding. All thla occurred in full lew of tha Court room. Some of tha belle fi>al fiom "Tin P?l" atruak tha Court Hooaa.

We hare alao heard that two or three other negrore were killed at different pomta. The people of the County. hearing of the afftir at th* Court Honee, and doubtlea* hearing exaggerated accounts of it, came in great number*, probably S,000 or 3.600. to the aoene of the conflict, hut the Sheriff, under the order* of Judge Vernon, tent them to their home*. The grand jury, then in icssinn, made a presentment as to the affair in "Tl.. Pot." and urged the authorities to remove from the County the puldie arm*?the pr-aenre of whieh has no douhl done a great deal of harm in suggest1 ,n* violence on one aide, and creating analety and apprehension on th# other. The grand jury, in the moat earnest terms, deprecated the consequence* of arming on* race in the community and leaving the other defenceless, and urged npon all prisons t white and tdmk. to abstain from violence and return quietly to'.heir homes.
