The Union Outrage.
* to. - " " - -
gi>v iu? iuii account or this dreadful
outrage, u prom iced last week. The henry
den unciatlnna of the entire Press and public
of tbla State, of all partiea, la condemning the
act. The moat bitter enemy of the State and
its pcaco, of the South and our race, could do
nothing more calculated to Injure all of na.
Such acts are a victory for the enemy. And
the strong nltra Radical*, all orer the United
States, regard every such prooeeding as an.
nexlog a new fortreaa to their political territory,
from whose batteries they continue to
hurl shells filled with ateuch and lies against
the whole State, the whole South, in lact. It
is " furnishing occasion to those who desire
occasion " of reproach and malice.
The Ku Klnx Outrages fn Union.
The Union Time* of the 11th Inst., contains
the annexed particular* of the recent
jut rages ia that County:
It seems that the Sheriff. Philip Dunn,
received, late on Thursday evening, 9th
inst., by the hands ef a colored man, an
Rxpress package, which proved to he a
writ o( Habeas Corpus, to remove to Columbia,
aa early possible, the three prison
sra, oyivanua Wright, Andy Thornton, and
)ne Vanlue. who wtri then lying in |ail
ufTering Irom wounds inflicted by the Ku
Klux rome weeks ago. The lute hour at
which the Sheriff received thU writ on
Thursday, and the illneaa of the prisoners,
made it impossible for him to make the
necessary arrangements to remove them
when the train for Columbia left here on
Friday morning. The knowledge of this
wiit being in our town, waikeptao pro.
loutidly s-cret thnt we knew nothing of it
when we started for Columbia on Friday,
ind the first intimation we had of it was
In Columbia on Saturday. No train left
here for Columbia after Friday until Mnn.
lay, and tbe Sheriff had, as he rupposed,
rery eccretly made tv?ry arrangement to
remote the prisoners on M"fiil?y.
This was the tonjitbin of uffaii* up to
Sunday night shout 13 v'clooV, tyliep ?uda
leuly a large number of mounted inrD, eaiiuated
at ff'tri 3tX> to 700, lu black gowns,
with inti'ks fitting tight to thoir funea,
ode into town, placed a strom; picket
guard at each road entrance and ordaied
ivery light to be put out. It was o very
lark and rainy night, peculiarly suited to
he dark deida to be enacted. These men
rule to the jail, broke through the outer
loor and suddenly presented tliem* )va heore
the jai'or, Mr. H. T. Hughe* und hie
amily, and Mr. L. B. Hill. Deputy iShertrr,
rho .were ell asleep, and demanded the
teys to the cells.
This was refused nnd resistance made by
he officers which so exasp* rated the liu
{lux that they violently threw down the
ffieers nnd tied thetn together to a rock
tost in fiont of the jail. They then went
0 Mrs. Hughe*, the jailor's wifr, piesented
1 pistol to her head and thiealet.ed to blow
>ut her brains if she did not tell thein
vhere the keys were In her fright she
minted to where they could find the keys,
["hoy then took her and her child from the
ail and carried thorn to a neighbor, ssiure
ng Mrs. TI. that her husband would not be
njnred. They then tO"k from the jail SyN
'anus Wright, Andy Th?rn?on, Ellison Scott,
All) Fineher, Aaron Thomson, Amos M?{isrick,
Barret Edwards and Tom Byars, |
irisoners implicated In the murder of Matt
deyene, Matt Ilnlio, imprisoned for the
turning of Mr. E'tei' house, and Joe Van
tie, who wee in prison for killing Mr. Danrl
Smith, wliilc ue'ing as deputy Sheriff,
he night after the murder of Malt Stevens,
led them and carried them, with the jailor
nd deputy Sheriff, out of town. As soon
they were ready to start Irotn the jail, a
(trill keen whistle was blown, and in a
larvelous short time I he p'ekets cam# in,
ell into ranks, four deep, and all marched
p the Spartanburg road?tha proaetaion
cached, in oloae order from tha Praabyteian
Church to the jail. On the way out
Dine of them appeared to take delight in
isulting and tantalising Mr. Hughes and
Ir. Hill. One of them oraotinad thsaccom
noying circular into Mr. Hughes' pocket and
tads him promise that it should he pubiihej.
When they ai rived near Sheriff
tunn'a residence, about half a tuile from
(>e j?il, they tol l Hughes and Hill to go
ack? tliey would allow then) ive minutes
o reach the jail. Of course they tried to
make the time" hut it was a difficult
aak, as they were still lied together, with
heir aims pinioned behind them hy a strong
ord ; and on reaching town w<-re eom*
rletely exhausted, but truly thankful, even
a the Ku Klux, for letting them off with
o greater punishment than a terrible fright
\?or fellows, we learn they looked mora '
ke ghosts than living being*. Early on
ionday morning the lifelesa bodies of Syl va
us Wright and Andy Thomson were diac?vred
suspended from a hickory tree, about a
tils and a half from town, while Tom
lyars, Dill Fineher, Ellison Scott. Joe
raulue, liar ret t Edwards and Aaron Thorn
?n were tied to email ti era near by and
liair bodies perforated with rifle balls ?
he remaining two, Mao Iioho and Amos
IcKiasick have not been heard of since.
The firing aroused the people living
round and every order was distine fly
eard. As soon an the deed was aceom*
liahed the band rapidly left in all direc
ions.

Uit iuua,*the good that the Lngislagg-e has
done in the last two Wee be, consists, nob In tbh"
aeta paaaed, but in striking out tbe enacting
elanaea of a great man/ bills on tbeir second
reading. I doubt If aver before so many subjects
of leg Islet ion J> are. erer some op before
any previous legislature, and so little legislation
of positive benefit to tbe people accompltabed.
Tbe people bave cause to feel disappointed
with the present government. Tbe 1
ton* of the Governor's message, bis deetara* ;
tlon of purpose to promote ?nd favor all meas
ores looking to tbe general wolfure and to
conciliate and harmonise tbo antagonistic elements
of tbe body politic, was ap Implied
promise ef amendment. The Republican lead-'
era, too, apon being arraimed befbre the lis*.
pit durisg tk? lut Mttiu, mad* promises of
reformation | it all that* promises, expressed
and implied, tha poopla here bean disappoint"
ad. There baa aot been a single act passed
bp this Legislature, that I can soar call to
mind, calculated in tha least to win the eons
ftdenca or respect of the tax papers of the
State?tbap hare dona nothing to mitigate the
jnst opposition and indignation raited against"
the preceding admlnisttntion. The present
administration teems to mlscotioelre tho object
ef gerern meats?thep net upon the prineiple
tbnt the gorermnent is for the benefit of
the rnlers end plnee-holders, end not of the
people.
If Governor Scott desires to . conciliate the
good opinion of the white people nod property
holders of the Stole, he hns nothing to do bat
to seine* n determined purpose to proteet
their rights. There ie n discrepancy of oenrlp'
n million of dollars between the finnncinl agent
K imp ton and Treasurer Parker's reports. The
Land Commissioners, Leslie and DeLarge, bid
leflanew So See ( maneet, end watte fro report
of their administration* A Sanatorial
inqnlry late tha enormous exponditnre of
$28,900 incurred bp the ipeeatigating comtnittto
of tho 3rd Congressional District, doveI opes
tha fact that Mr.Craws a as drawn from tbe
treasury $7,it? more tbaa is accounted for.
If Governor Seott woald ootnpel his law otfi- ,
oer, tbe Attorney General, to prosecute these ,
eases, and nse all other applfunees at his command,
to ferret out and bring to punishment
aH parties who am guilty of fraud end cm heealemeDt,
he would entitle himself to the
support and friendship of the people; hot so
long as be tacitly acquiesces in these outrages
upoa them, b# need not he surprised that thep
continue their opposition id Mm his car- j
pet-bug admit istratioe. Tho world on^kt he
thit time hsgta to ndtritlnJ the predicament

Tha two avoata that hava created the grant- I
Mt azaitessaat latalp, hava beeA the hnlcluxing i
st Dama, and thaalaction of Judga for tha 7th
Circuit. In ragard to tha foruior, the ruling
powers, while all deeply deplore anch occurrences,
fail to comprehend tha anuses and tha
remedy ; thep buva discarded the iden of martial
law as a sainedy and hava appealed to the
President af the Unitad States for an army to
maintain order and protaet the lives of cltitens
in csrtaln oounties, and natwitbstaading
Uovernor Seott made the call upon the Presilent
(or troops, it was thought that the President
might dslap tho matter too long, and a
motion was made and carried in tho House
that ths Speaker appoint three discreet tnen,
without regard to nartv. in ?n in vu~.v.:? ?
Mid Uy before the President a fair and truth- !
ful version of the facta; Messrs. Whippor,
Nuckles and Wilkes wero appointed. They
a ill no doubt etute the facta, but I fear will
rail to akow bo the President that hia standing
arm/ ia only a temporary protection, that tbo
aauaea that prodaced the outbreaks and violatiaaa
af law atill exist, and will eontinuo to
list uatil the government y superceded by
jue that can command the rerpect and support
af all alaaaea of people.
The election for Judge took place on Thursday.
Meeere. Earls, Moaea, Winamith and
Fair wero nominated. The first ballot result*
ad without choice; the second ballot waa en*
tared into immediately, and at the cloae it was
taen that tba election lay between Earlo and
Moses ; the members then began changing
their votes, and while a half doten or more
were eelling npon the President to announce
their change of vote, the President announced
that Mr. Motes had received seventy votes?
being a majority of tha votea east?was duly
alacted. Upon this, tha aonfuaion waa per*
fectly ladascrihabla, twanty or tkirty crying
" Mr. President," at the top of tbeir voices
and others shouting "Fraud! fraud!" and
half the boons on their feet, wishing to apeak,
Tba Senate retired amidst tha greatest excitement
and confusion. On Friday, both bouses
expunged the proceedings of the joint assembly
from their respective journals and declarad
the election void ; pending the debate on
the validity of the election, Mr. Mopes returned
bis certificate of election. The election
will probably take place next Friday. If the
President had given time to members to
change tbeir votea, I think Captain Eurle
would have been sleeted.
The Appropriation Hill baa been printed,
and is the special order for Monday. It pro*
vkJes, for Salaries, $174,000 : for Executive
Department, $37,800; Judiciary, $5,800; ordinary
civil axpenaea, $830,104.40, (of which
$483,504.40 ia to pay interest on tbe public
debt; ) Extraordinary Expenses, $87,000 ;
Educational. $185,000 ; Military, $71,000. Ins
eluded In 4be ordinary civil expenses is an
item of $100,000 for the contingent account of
tbe State ; aad In the list of extraordinary expense!
is an Item of $80,000 for continuing tbe
conetraction of the Penitentiary. U?w the
nntiDgent account of tbe State can run up to
$100,000 honestly, is more than I can con*
eeiva, and tbe Penitentiary, when eompioted,
m- - ? .... w.i. i.pii iiit i inn inrincy, U) |
lay nothing of the building* already complet-1
ed. There are about 300 coneiota In the Pen*
itentiary, and their labor ought to be utilized
in the eonitruetion of the additional building*. .
The work la not obliged to be flniahed In a '
year) if It take* flee year*, It doe* not matter, I
the eooricta ought to be kept at this work and
they ean flnlah It with a trifling appropriation ,
lor the the employment of eipcrta to teperin- ]
tend them.
A hill haa been Introduced by Mr. Hurly, '
granting aid to the Greenville and Columbia
Railroad, but the provlaiona and tailor of the
bill hare not yet tranrplred. The charter of
the Cberaw and Greenrtlle Railroad haa had
it* *eeond reading. Mr. Hurly haa alen Introduced
a bill to create a atorling funded
daht, of $1,300,000, to matura l? twenty year*,
