Meetings In York. A large meeting of tire white citizens was hela* at Yorkville on: Monday, the 3d;1 W. B. Wilson, Esq., in. the ohair. The .fol lowing readlutions were adopted : Resolved, That nis Excellency, the Gov ernor, for. the disarming of the militia and j removal of incompetent officials of this county; and for his veto of the appropriation of $265,000, has by these' acts, to'this ex tent, entitled himself to public commen dation. We cannot better comment on the enormity of that appropr iation than by. adopting the very language Of the veto message, to wit : ( I regard the expendi ture of the money ' already appropriated, and the sum included in this bill, amount ing m the aggregate to four hundred thou sand dollars, as simply enormous for one session of the Legislature, lt ia beyond-) all comprehension how the Legislature Could legitimately expend one-half, that1 amount." Resolved, That .the existing negro gov ernment of South Carolina u a reproach to the civilization of the age.;, a stain upon the manhood of an intelligent and gallant people, who have so lojig and so patient ly endured and submitted to be ruled by their former slaves. We are tired of it and will exert every legitimate and constitu tional means to effect a change, HIT Resolved, That, next to the character i of our government, the wasteful expendi ture of tho public money, the alarming! increase of the public debt, the robber}' and plunder of the pubbo. hinds, demand our most earnest consideration, and excite a well founded fear of an indefinite exten sion of our taxes. Resolved, That a chief object in hold ing this meeting? was to urge the poop?ev of the county to be'quiet, and, by all means, to preserve the peace of the State. Wo earnestly express the hope that peacti ful relations, between the races may be re-. established ; that there will be no*further violence, and we respectfully invoke, all law-abiding men to co-opcraj?o with us in the attainment of these, ends. Wc know not the remedy for the troubles that are upon us, but know that violence is not that remedy. To those especially who have en gaged in violence wc earnestly raise a warning voice and assure them that force; if persisted in, will be suppressed by the power of tho' Federal Government.; Resolved, Thai thc resolution adopted by the colored race, at their recent meet ing, indicates such a spirit as commends them to our confidence, and that we will uso our best efforts to secure to them pro tection of life, liberty and property, and the enjoyment of all their rights. Resolved, That we approve the call of ?hedmmber of Commerce;-of-ii harleston, br a convention of tlio;State, Jo meet in. | Joluinbia on the second Tuesday in May ; md that the chairman appoint two dele gates and two alternates to. attend the Milu,. .. .

"Jefferson" writes as fol lows: 'j '. . [jj] . Section 12of thai instrument^(the State'Constitution) declares that "he shall take-care that the laws shall be aithfully executed in mercy ?" and Section 15-provides that "the Gqver ior shall, from time to time, give the jeneral Assembly information oil the" Kondition of the State," and " redom nend necessary Jind expedient mea lures.'.', Since the.commencement ol . iis official.career,..gin .and dwelling louses have been burned, peppj,^ nobbed .and . killed by the League, ind militia, large sums of money ap >ropriated by law,to specific purposes 'aye been . drawn I from the treasury or other uses, bonds and other State ecurities have been '.issued without egal authority, the State 1 debt has leen increased (including the Sterling ?"und) more than sixteen millions ol [dual's, reaching di this lime the eiior nous siiin of twenty-two millipns ol [ollars: With the excessive taxation [l eretofore imposed upon and paid by he people, and this gigantic iudebt- i dness, not a mile of railroad or [ca al. has been built, yet he has not lily ?'ail?d to communicate this infor' ' ?ation, but hy .the most wanton sup- ' ression of the facts as to. the amount ?'

But it is. a waste'oj ie to make specific charges against vernor Scott.

THE- KU-KLUX BILL MTSUNDEE DOD.-lu a speech at Cincinnati on ednesday of last week Gen. J. D. x,' who'was recently Secretary of ? Interior, said that an army of 2 hundred thousand soldiers would t be sufficient to put in force the i-Klux bill which has just passed i House of Representatives. Gen. x thinks if is impossible to restore ice and quiet at the South by an/ ount of military force, so long as asures are . agitated in Congress i disoussed in the press which are oulated to irritate the Southern >ple and make them discontented i restless. jen. Cox misapprehends the real ;ure of the Ku-Ktax bill. Its os tial deslgu is ?ot to restore peace \ quiet at the South, and to allay content anddisordor. This is only incidental and comparatively un portant part of .the business. The t purpose of suspending civil law that part of the country and send ; down, soldiers is to force ?he Re alicans of those States to appoint egates to the approaching National vventioa, of that party who will in favor of tbe renomination of jut. Next, the elections there are l>e controlled, by military, means, that the: electoral. votes of those. ?tea will be Beoured for Grant, :sdiat (r may be the fishes of the major-; : of the citizens. To carry out se designs, Gen, Cox can yery well .understand that =an .army ot one hun .dred thousand men will not be re quired Probably a force of twenty thousand , will . suffice. But if the next President-should happen' to be chosen in that way, how will the rest of the country like it? And what . will Gen. Cox say and do then ?-New York Snn.->- ' Ka?Iesiiake Democracy!
