We do not care to waste words in denouncing men who are denounced and condemned by n simplu description of their attempted Radical committee here, in the desperation' of its throes of death, are trying their feeble best to suborn the crime of wholesale murder, and fail only because the supply of courage ^s not equal to their resources in money, and their nerve of arm uot on a par with their fiendish ucss of heart.?

Int rrvstuij Disclosures in liajanl to the Sumter Meetimj?The Whole Ajjair Planned in Washington to lirimj on a Iflood// Cunjliet. Hard upou the heels of tho failure of the attempt of certain local Radicals, black and white, to participate a conflict of races at .Sumter. S. C.. last week, comes evidence that the nffiir was plauncd and organized at Radical headquarters in this city.? Rrielly the affair was as follows : Sometime ago a notorious negro front that locality, of the name of Sam Lee, came here, and, after consultation with llale and Gorham, or to the Federal election'statutes came' out. Lee meantime had gone back to Smith Carolina, and having armed two or three thousand negroes with weapons purchased by funds furnished from Radical headquarters here, issued a call lor them to assemble en masse at the tho town of Sumter, on a certain day which it ad long previously been appointed for a Democratic rally. This call stated that the negro mass meeting would be addressed by General Grant, General Sherman aud Mr. llaye.q and instructed the negroes to conic armed ! Accordingly, the misguided creatures assembled to the number of about 3,000, and were met by the Democrats with a courteous preposition tor joint discussion.? This proposition was ignored, and .Sam Lee, not being equal to the occasion he had conjured up, decamped. This left the nc-u groes under the londciship of an MNwnJSwmtetl iloghlsn, vrhrrWnra-ntTTtrTI tiiotn at tcugiu, ami ineitou them to disturb tlie Democratic mcctipg. Tlicy did so, and at one moment a general row was imminent, but, thanks to the coolness and intrepidity of two or three Democratic leaders, peace was restored and enforced l?y the arrest of several of the more disorderly negroes, and the remainder of the. mob left tho town.? Not a shot was fired, and but one person injured?a negro, who was knocked down jH'itU ^l>'stul but by a constable for atteniprescue one of the negroes under arrest. It is no fault of the. Radical managers that this atrocious plot, failed to produce riot -and bloodshed. They furnished the '"money to arm the negroes and mapped out a plan of operations, (lif emirae they |cnew that a conflict could have bat one result what Messrs.liale and (JprhuiiL i\ a % Pa ..V -! i-uiupuu^ was a largo creditor of the Sparburg aud Ashcville Railroad, proposed that the creditors, both creditors secured by mortgage aud the unsecured crcdiiQgt^tffcimld so arrange their debts that means could bo furnished the president to prosecute tho ?vork ; that 1 was willing, and proposed to place the coutractors and other ur.securod creditors aud tho secured creditors ou tho satue looting; that.I thought that could bo done and all promoted alike, and the road finished to Ashcville.

W ilirl^ghT and very liberal, if tlio secured creditors will do it. Will Mr. McAdeu pledge his honor that he will carry out his proposition1 replied that I could only speak IV.r the Spartanburg, lTuion and Columbia Railroad Company, which had both secured and unsecured debts; that as far as that company could act or influence others, tho proposition should be carried out, and that L would go to work to persuade tho secured creditors to accede to the nrnnsilimi ....<1 * J..VJ/./.WVU, UIIU tllUl L thought 1 h:ul such a position that I could accomplish it. 1\ it It this understanding the meeting adjourned, the creditors to meet on the 15th inst., to hear my succss in the matter. -v * L went immediately to work among tho secured creditors. I at liriit. with opjio.dti .ii, it wWm|^?OMnrod tho' fuOt that his ^ the meeting at Spartanburg 1, as the representative of the secured creditors, prcswii- t tod the proposition. Tho proposition was this : The secured creditors to ?nrr?toW ^ i W? ail of the first uicirt^|rt^rrI^^Y*ft~TfTrrr;tr:rrrTrr '"IVslieYilieTwhieh would be about 8175,000, not to exceed 8200,000?tho bonds uot'to be sold h^l,a*tf?UiWMHrt?yT?ror(nr asked It ' No." said M -u, *?

This proposition was freely and fully discussed and tho meeting adjourned over a day to allow parties to act advisedly. When tho meeting came together again, all tho creditors present representing sumo 850,000 of indebtedness, willingly assented to the propo^tft"d l>oal, 1*30*000, s * attorney tliey could not accopt, but tlm" "*' *' ; they would reduce their claims provided tin-y were paid in cash.
