Sl)e Cnfrrpriae. Q K EEWVILII, O. WEDNESDAY, IKPTSUX1 IS. 1ST1. W here to the OrMnvlU* Acrltottonl Society t Anil?rnnn ami AblavilU CountiM I bare well organized Agricultural ?oci* otier, and are preparing to hold fain this Fall. Chester has recently formed une for that County, besides oilier Counties. - . . What has become of the Greenville County Society f This town being the largest iu the upper part of the State, and the people of this County being characterized fortbeir intelligence and progressive spirit,"we should not he behind others in such important swelters as the development of our farming nod mechanical interests. A fair held at this place would no doubt bring together persons from all of the adjoining Counties, and if properly managed, could be mnde a great success, and aid greatly in building up me 1117, ana benefiting Greenville County. The .premises known a* the " State Work*," constructed and used during the war for the manufacture of guns and other rnateiinls of war, are fast going to ruin, and, in a few years, will be a mass of ruins, unless something is done to check the decay and preserve them, and will be entirely useless to the State. A well organized County Agiicultural Society could no doubt secure the*e buildings and grounds for the purpose of lioldirrg their annual fairs at a low price, and the State would thus tealize something from them. They could, with a little expense and outlay, rcadi* ly ho adapted to the purpose. Our City is increasing rapidly, and the County is making fair progress in improvement, the public difficulties being considered, and the people owe it to themselves to me every mentis to. promote the public good, and no organisation Las it in its power to effect greater usefulness than one formed for the encouragement and stimulation of the efforts of our farm ers, manufacturers and mechanics. We can raise as good horses as any other County; we can raise as fine sheep, as good cows, and as superior hog?, as any part of this Slate. Our farmeis could exhibit as fine farm pro ductions?our wheat, corn, rye, oats, *fcc., <kc., cannot be excelled ; our fruit, such us apples, peaches, pears, die., will compare with those on exhibition at any of our neighbors' fairs; our manufactures are of known superiority ; and our ladies are not deficient in their knowledge of pickles, preserves, jams, jellies, ?fec., <fcc., or in the various articles of needle and handiwork. All that our people want, is an opportunity, and they will publish to the -~nr!.l U.I.OI /.an l,on,n?n an/1 rat.a/t an,t immigrants anu ?nd (bus induce their midst. The climate and productions of Greenville must be published ; and there is no belter way than by an an. nunl meeting and exhibition of specimens of them. Wo beg to call the attention of Wil viam Goldsmith, E*q., Col. John II. Goodwin, John II. Harrison, E^q., Dr. J. P. Bovoa, Gen. W. K. Easlev, ^ and other public spirited gentlemen, to ] this subject, feeling confident that any ] enterprise they support will be reward- ? ed with success. Wo know that this is a late hour of the year in which to organize, when most other Counties are Ifblding their fairo ; but this important measure should be postponed no longer. * - ? * - ?B United States Court. g{ The Court did not close the trials of varioua indictments till Mondai'. Wn eotiM - ?J( not lie present at the trial of tho several eases brought up under the Ku Klux act of n Congress. Nearly all the cases resulted in cquiital, for lack of proof satisfactory to tho juries. Judge Bbtaiv, in the close of these investigations, on discharging some of y the jurors who had been in attendance, ex- p pressed himself as satisfied that the juries ' In the several trials had decided eonscientiously, and paid a noble tribute to the so- ^ periority of law over unlieeneed punishment and outrage. The liberties and rights and the lives and property of men were protected by ihe wlee rules of trial, derived from the common lew, among ^ whose maxims wns one that every judge wan bound to recognize before juries, tha* rfll it is belter for ninety and Dine guilty men oc to escape, than for one innocent inan tosuf qui | am The Judge took occasion to deiloucoo in just terms of condemnation the evils of un- Yl& lawful flolence recognized in tlie lynching Inst (ode, where every safeguard of law was liercgarded and its victims accused, triad, tnd sentonced to tiamcaeured puniahinent, rR" Without a hearing and without trial, at the line pei e pleasure of viudictlve sseailants. fr0TI * Th?

The Harold ought certainly to re publish these contradictions, inasmuch as that journal gate a long editorial comment upon the base fabrications ai if they were true. We are not surprised at Senator Scott calcbiog up these falsehoods for political effect, but even he mast hare done so without any sort of effort to find out the character of hie iuforroants: 44 We publish in another column pi this Issue a communication addressed tc Senator Scott, signed by a number o our citizens ,?nd among whom aro tb< 'United States Comeniseiooer and tin Assistant United States A newer at thii place, whiob states that upon '-diligent inquiry bare been^-unahle to hear of s single outrage having been committed iu Ibis county since your (Senatoi Scott'*) committee left; on the contrary, tbe county is "in a state df profound peace and quiet/ "Tbit statement made by two Uuitcd Stat-ea officers who -arc Wi oar midst, ought to be sufficient to prore to tire mind of Senstor Scott that he has been imposed opon by tbe 'communications and affidavits' upon which ho founds his statements made to the President, and bis recommendation that martial J 1 1 !_ .1 !- s a 1 ins UWIHICU ID I uis county,? Furthermore, we learn that leading Radicals here admit that no outrage has occurred in Spar'.anLurg 6ince the Ivu Klux Committee were here. No doubt' communications and affidavits' have been sent to Senator Scott, chairman of the committee who were here, misrepresenting our county by false and malicious statements, which were in tended to induce him to use his influ ence in bringing about martial law. We are at a loss to know who made the affidavits referred to, but do know that it is only those who wish to keep up excitement and trouble in tho country, and to gratify their malicious feelings. We pronounce such statements as wilfully false and made only to serve party purposes and gratify malignant feelings." The following is the communication referred to : "Spartanburg, S.
