Ikt XI action im this Ornty.
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.

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.

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

his throat with a rasor. Mr. Wescott was

waa not oDly whipped in such a mitner a
to confine him to his bed, but was subject
ed to the most outrageous and lioodisb in
suits."
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.

generous and loving heart drew towards bim
our warmest brotherly affection, and whose
memory we will cherish all the days of our
earthly pilgrimage.
Hftolvfd, That we And great consolation in
the deep and well-known piety of our brother,
which caused bim to spend much of his time
in exercises of devotion, and which led Lim
to the most scrupulous conscientiousness in
the discharge of all bis duties.

The Dificolty Lanmu,
From m extra issued by ibe LaereasvlUe
Herald, *e glean the following particular* ot
the eerion* disturbance wbieb oeevrred la that
County on tba 20th :
Tbe day before, (the 1Mb,) at the general
election, end for montb* previous, the wbtte
people bad been subjected to an organised ayetern
of disparagement, abuae, and threat* of
ieleaoe to person and property, which bad
produced that feveriab state of feeling incident
iv avcp 0CD0V 01 outrage ana injustice. 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." Here, flanked hy
negro stores In the building, be bad his office
of Trial Justice, alto of Census Taker, alse of
Deputy United Slates Marshal, (without any
commission,) and also of Commissioner of
Election, and bore be bad a perfect armory o'
guns, believed to be a thousand stand, with
accoutrements and ammunition of the most improved
pattern. These were the arms of tnc
State, left under his absolute control, Desiden
this armory in '* Tin Pot," be had quite a number
of guns at bis honse, which was sooee distance
np the street, and his barn, within Ibt
curtilage of bis bouse, and commanding tbi
main atrcet, was regularly fortified and loop
holed, and also stored with arms. 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. This guard, or drunken negro miU'
tia, were olten turbulent, and, with the con
uiuuiiij, nniii iii? pear* 01 ib* lowa, an<

to be present at the poll* to prevent frauds, a

Tbu* equipped and prepared for all sort* c
fraud*, fbe poof deluded negroes were sum
moned peremptorily by trim frut* fbe remoter

They did come in great numbers, and sacl
glaring, bare-faced fraud* were enacted in lb
face of day, aa, it is believed, were never com
mitlod on tbi* continent before 1 Crew* bat
before exhorted the negroes to drew sbefr Wo
men in men's clothes, and tofefhem. It the;
did to on tbia occasion, it baa not yet been dis
covered ; bat it is as certain at anything eai
be, tbat many boys under age did v?te, am
some of them three or four times. This eai
be abundantly proved, and many names bar
already been returned, to be indicted for per
jury. We bare heard no one ertimate th<
number of negroes present at more tban i
or 1,200, at the outside, and yet they
claim to Rave voted tbat day, at tha Court
House, 1,000 rotes! 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

of the place, howrrtr, wade off m rapidly

Tha Court waa then in tawion, Judge Vernon
prealding. All thla occurred in full
lew of tha Court room. Some of tha belle

In the affair at " Tin Pol " two white
men and a little ojr of the aftisana war*
wounded ; and of the armed Begr?c*, one
waa kill**<1 Inetaotly and two wounded?
one mortally.
We have not heard foil particular*, ho*

and of Voln.y Powell, a whita man. a
member of the constabulary force and can

affray, waa found with their arroa aome lima
after. 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.

ty?always has been so. We have no doubt
labored effort* will now bar made, for party
purpoees to make it appear that her white
eitixen* are lawtc*e and turbulent. The a!legal
ioa, no matter by whom made, ia un
true. The outside World ran have Ihtle
idea of what this people have Buffered at

the gross and crying abuses which led to it
are still more to be lamented. We ery
