We invite attention to the following let te1 ' recently--addressed . by tho Act ing :olicitor of Newberry County, to Gov ernor Scott, in reply to a notw written by the Govert.or through his Secretary to Sheriff Paysiniger, which communication we regret that the Sheriff has nisild. It is said to contain serious charges against the dignity an'd honor*ofthe citizens of the County. We are satisfied that the im putations are without foundation in truth. Newberry has never been in a more quiet and orderly condition ; and but for those who live by creating evil for political ends, we should very soon have peace, com fort and comparative prosperity. MEsSRS. EDIToRs: You will oblige me. by pntbli.hing the sutjoined letter. I wrote at in reply to one addreaaed by one Dr. Robert K. Scott, (who is by courtesy, styled Governor of South.Carolina), to :he Sheriff of Newberry Gounty. Personally, I care I nothing for the matter ; but I felt it my duty, as acting Solicitor, to clear the Coun ty of Newberry from the violent and ground: less accusations made against it. Dr. Scott is quite in a rage, I learn ; and one Mr. Selby (who is said to edit a little sheet in Columbia), is also unwilling to see the good citizens of Nenberry exonerated. I there fore call upon you to make public, a state ment of which those two distinguished gentlemen are afraid. J. F. J. CALDWELL. .VEWBERRY COURT IIOUSE, March 29tii, ISt9. To His Excellency GOvERNOR R. K. ScoTT-SIR : The Sheriff of Newberry ('ounty shemed me during the recent session oh the Court, at this place, a letter which you bad addressed to him, through your private Secretary, it, regard to certain-acts of violence, alledged to have been cotunited on the premises of G. G Dewalt, and in the neighborhood of Poma tia, in this Cou::ty. I feel it my duty as acting Solicitor, to reply to the charges and th:eatscontainted in that letter. Your Excellency, as it appears to me, has improperly charged the Sheriff. Even un der the net regime, I conceive that it is not the duty of the Sheriff to bring before the Grani Jury, all di-rttrbatnees th,it may oc cur in his County ; because he is not the officer to wa!.on any one makes complaint, and therefore he caaaot-be expected to be infornied as to any criminal complaint, ex cept by heat-sar. 'the letter which I have previously spoken of. shonld hav. been ad dressed to n:ie, as the officer repreet.ting. the State. of Sot h Carolina. But I waive the inaformalhity. So s->on as I ha d notice of your letter, I proceeded to investigate the comtl..ants made. I called the attemion of thet Grandl Jury to the mit ner ; I sent G. - G. De-Walt before them, -tnd when he failed to give them such in formaation as won'ad warrant them in manking a presen'menlt against anay one, I sent out thae Slum;iff to sa est and bring before the Court, n'tiy And a:! persons who could or woirdd give inah.rmiato. I brought thae mlatter before the Gdurt a seconadti9pe; when those meana failed, I persuaded his Honor Judge Rutl.:nd, to charge the Granad, Jury againa upon the su'bject; I sent again for witntesses ; 1 went to th-e Grand Jury roonm and instructed tdienm as to 'heir duty. It all availed nothing. No particle of in telligence could be elicited, and there was cons- quently, no indliotmnat made out. The conviction is therefore, -forced ann me, thaat only mielicious'persona *have mae these represenatations to y ou -persons whose sole delight consists ini toameiting dhiscord between the two races and the t wo Political parties in this State.
