Rome of the leading Republican journals have been candid enough to aseertuin, and independant enough to publish the truth as to the cause of the late! disturbances in the upper part of tliOi ^Uitc; Amonq these is tiie Cincinnati) jCbmrftrrciiil, one of the ablest and most Enterprising journals in the County., Thiv nonnr upnt a ronortCF to UllioU DlS ** "W 4 triot to sift and verify Hie facts as to the alio aged outrages, and he (imis and . K6 announces, tfaAfe all the violence had )x>en stirred up by an unprovoked tnur(rier perpetrated by tlie negro lntlitia. and that the execution of lynch law was by citizens who despaired of any other jxVstire. The following is his recital of the original provocation: '""In this county the negro militia were the aggressors in the actual work of murder. Hut for them, from what 3 can find out, there would have been iio outbreak. The civil ollicers appointed for Union County were very obnoxious to the citizens, as they were ignorant and incompetent. Governor Scott typp(juitc<J two negroes here county com-l lijissioiiors, whri could not read or write,; rind other officers of the same sort. This set the Ivu-Klux to making threats j and a company of negro militia were i isetit .Wits; . . About the first of the year, twenty ofj these militia murdered a white man, (!. Stevens byname. This Stevens bad' bad been a rich man before the war, but . fit the struggle lost everything, and at! the time of his death was engaged asaj (drayman. lie was bringing a barrel; of whiskey, and when four miles from i jowu was* met by twenty militiamen,1 \vhp d<iihjjinded his whiskey. He gavel tbcnj some, but refused to give them all, Viiey wanted, when they deliberately! murdered him. When the news rca'tfti-! ed here the next morning it caused the greatest excitement. A jwirty of armed; inon immediately set out for the scene *ifjiinrHpr. I.att* in the day the lifeless ho-. >jy yf Mr. Stevens was'found, lying in I ti)e writer of a fence, face upwards, legs; ^roesigu, and his coat thrown over his! lace. A number of colored men were j arrested, and intense excitement prc-i vailed among the people. Toward#* j night reports came in tltat an attempt1 Hvoujd be made by members of the ntili-i tiu company to release thu prisoner, and! n strong guard was placed over the jail.! About eight o'clock it was discovered; fli'at a number of negroes, with guns, j were congregated at the house of ?Si las Hawkins, and a posse was sent there by ' the sheriff to disperse them. A knockat Hawkins's door brought a volley of j musket balls which severely wounded! one of the posse. The posse then fired Into the house and killed two of the mi- [ 1ii.ii). This was on Sunday. On Monday the j excitement increased. At midnight the! barn of Colonel Young, situated but two squares from the jail, and.right in the i cefjtfce of the town, was discovered to be I ttn Are. On Tuesday morning one Wal- j her, a captain of militia, wao arrested, and tlie negroes gathered to release him. I He persuaded them not to attempt it,1 however, seying that it would cost more! than it would come to. The negroes' desisted, but went prowling over the country firing off their guns, and, to-1 jrether with' the exasperated whites and Ku-KIux, managing to keep innocent people in perpetual alarm." j As the Now York World truly rc-| marks, there is not a Northern Commu-j jiity where such outrages would not! jhave kindled a spirit of vengeance, per-i j>ctrated as they were by tire very agentsof the reconstructed government, organ-; izedas .the pretended guardians of or-; jder. But it does not appear that thej citizens would have taken the law into: their own hands, if there had been any j hope of other redress. The rescue of! the prisoner had been attempted, and even if not rescued there was 11 file reason to expect their conviction. ,/ " : Governor Scott's View. Tfie Governor on a recent visit to Charleston has been' interviewed by a correspondent of the News,. who givco a full report of tho conversation. in which tho Governor declared ; that the debt had been grossly exag-j geiyited, and that tho increase of the |jou'.lcd debt represents, mainly, unfunded liabilities contracted previous to his administration. That the en-J uorscmenis uy mo &iaie arc ampiy protected by the actual assets of the j and that the entire bonded debt of South Carolina is less than ciglit millions of dollars, with iibont| on? million floating debt, which Inst will. bo paid immediately with the funds now in the treasury and with the incoming trxes. lie said the object of changing the lime of collcction of taxes, js to injure collcction from tho poorer classes and should add two hundred thous-i . ' J i. Oi.j. . . .1 i auu u> omio revenue; niso tiiat an extension pf lime would bo granted if acquired. Alluding to tho taxpayer's Convention called for next month by the! . C'lmrioston Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade, he said tho Con * * . *5 . . I vention would remit m showing the1 people that tjj.c State finances wore in1 h healthy condition, and the debt, ns ha represented, lie hoped, also, that it would create a better feeling, and re-establish confidence, by preparing tho way to give a fair share of ofliees |n the SjLate to men of ability and; expedience. He pronounces jn favor] . of, a minority representation as the, readiest euro for ^fating grievances! of the whites. , * - ?% 432- * >' . .

' Wisdom From Experience. j "We suppose that all of us who arc i wise after the event will agree with the j n j New York World, In thinking that tliej ! Democratic party made u great mistake!, j in splitting in (wain in the Charlostoni j Convention of 1800,and that that schism5 ! ensured the election of Mr. Lincoln? J and also that a blunder equally great |wa? committed when the Southern members retired from Congress. By sojc doing thev lost a Democratic majority in | both J louses of Congress, \vhich Would! hrtve prevented war being waged upon; tht South,?as it required an act of Con- j gless to raise and equip armies?and j r have tied the hands of Ihe J'resident in ; !appointing oven his own Cabinet, andj_ [madethe Republican victory a barren! j triumph.

All of this followed l'roiu pre-'. i suuiing to be better judges- of Northern j | sentiment than the Northern leaders ; themselves. \t The past is irrevocable, but we may! learn wisdom from its lessons. If the , South is to obtain deliverance, it must! bo through the aid of the Northern j Democracy, and in. following the. policy j whfcli the party deems "essential to suc-j cess. As the World remark?, no one in!" ' i ^ New York believes that that State could | I be kept Democratic, except by discard-> Jing such dead issues, as Reconstruction^ j and negro suffrage. 11 Sfciys the 1 Yorlrf: "Bink it and shirk . : it as you may, confuse it as you may by cloudy irrelevance, the real point is\Jl , whether the Democratic party wiil at- 'f | tempt to abolish negro suffrage in* the! j Presidential campaign*of lSTi'.
