INTENSE EXCITEMENT IN COLUMBIA A REFORM NEGRO BURNED OUT BY" RADICALS. Fact? and Kamora About the Election?. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TBS STTWS.] COLUMBIA, October 21. . "*L?nrens will giveforty majority for Scott, but st least eiohi hun^rfl fraudulent votes were cast by boys aad repeaters. The day of election in Laurens passed off quiet? ly enough, but a row occurred on Thursday, after the United States troops had left the place. It | seems that the constables tried to arrest a Ten nesseean named Johnson, wt o resisted the arrest. This caused a fight. A messenger wu o brings the news to Governor Scott says that five white 'inca and, three negroes were soiled. The-white mear are named Tyler, Lowry, Frost, Leahy and K&ihoe. Several or the persons reported killed, if not all of them, were constables. Rumor says that Joe Crews was snot in the leg, but escaped into the woods. A man named Powell was wounded, and ls supposed to have been killed. The Governor ls trying to get the United states soldiers to return to Laurens. If they cannot do so, the Governor will send op the white militia from Columbia. The negro militia aie assembling to-night at this place. Tae Governor has telegraphed to the Secretary of War, and to General ferry, for troops. There | is intense excitement here. ~ Last night, & Reform n?gro, living ten miles from Columbia, was burnt out by the Radicals. Iiis house with his crop in it was burned, and his f?rfTily barely escaped with their lives. United States Commissioner Janney issued to? day five warrants for fraudulent voting ia Co? lombia, also one yesterday. The accused are all negroes. Fifty-three other case3 are ready Tor him, and 'many others will be found to-night. In Spartan burg the total vote was 3500, of which 2250 are Reform-giving a Reform majority of twelve hundred ana. fifty. COSJXIR. ELECTION FACTS AND- HUMORS. The feeling in the city yesterday was decid? edly more cheerful. It dawned upon the people j that what had been gained by the Reform move? ment could have been won in no other way, and that, whether we elected the State ticket or not, the back of Radicalism was broken. With from forty to fifty Reformers In the lower House of the General Assembly, and with eleven Reformers 1n -.he Senate, Scott and his Ring can be so muzz'ed that they wUl not steal any more. Besides this, we have made the first step in educating politi? cally the colored voters of the State, who, up to this time, had beea guided by" their passions rather than their reason. What we need now ls toi hold the people together, to maintain onr or? ganization, to show a bold front to thc enemy wherever we find him. This will enable the Re? formers to use their strength to the .best por? no?" and to seize every opportunity of reform? ing, In aczM 'ti tn RS as well as large, the govern? ment of the Stat*. Onr own estimate of the result of the elections will be rfound in another place, but it ls proper to say here that the Radicals claim the State by about 20,000 majority. MR. TIM H ORLE V'S ESTIMATE. Hr. Timothy Hurley's estimate ls as follows: Radical majority In the State. 15,000; In Charles? ton County, 7000; General Butler several thous? and ahead of his ticket. Charleston County. Taking into account the large majority of the Reformers in Charleston City, and the vote cast in the parishes for the DeLarge ticket, this --ounty can hardly give the Radical State ticket more than 3000 majority. The county ticket ls still in doubt, and many or cur friends claim that the split between DeLarge and Bowen bas elected the | Reform candidates for the Legislature. HURLEY'S MAME TYRE. At the Hurley Convention, in the Bowen inter? est, the Mackeys declared their adhesion to the regular ticket, and there was a general restora? tion or confidence. Mr. A. M. Mackey was pnt apon the ticket as school commissioner, and peace reigned supreme. A little later, however, the Bowenltes came to the conclusion that the Mackeys were nos playing fair, and Timothy Hurley was pat to lt to circumvent them. A second edition of the regnUr Bowen ticket was got ont for use in the conn ty outside of the city. Upon this ticket, the following substitutes were made : For the Legislature, Reuben Tomltnson Instead of O. R. Levy; for county commissioner, -Reed Instead of F. C. Miller; for school commissioner, M. Emory Instead of A. M. Mackey ; tor coroner, E. M. Whiting instead of A. R. Tare. This ticket was glvea ?ut as thc regular ticket, and the*Bowenltes assert that Messrs. Tomlin - son, Emory, Reed and Whiting, with the rest of | the Bowen ticket, are undoubtedly elected. - poa COXOSBSS. . The reports of the result of the contest between Bowen- abd DeLsrge are very conflicting. Both Bid?3 claim the victory, li is considered certain that DeLarge has made a strong run, but tiowen is thought to have the better chance ol coming oat ahead in the official count. THE BALLOT-BOXES. These Interesting repositories, big with the fate or the Charleston Reformers, are piled np 1n the Circuit Court-room. The guard He about in I ( the jury boxes, and make themselves uncomfort-11 able as ocst they can. The detail tor yesterday and to-day ls as follow*: From 12 M. to 8 P. M., on Krlday, A. 8. J. Perry and B. P. Frost, Reform Ars, and Robert Mears and Robert Hamilton, Radi cals. From8P. M., Friday, tot A. M., to-day, J. T. Kanapanx and L. C. Nowell, Reformers, and John Ancrum and George Holmes, Radicals. From 4 A. M. to 12 M. today, H. B. Olney, Re? former, and Aaron McCoy, Radical. , ARRESTS. The United States commissioner issnei warrants yesterday for tba arrest or the following persons: Isaac Moultrie, fir voting twice; R. A Weasy, for Intimidating voters. John Holloway, Tko was arrested on Thursday for per jory, gave bail to appear before the January term of too Calved State* Court. The sailors of the brig Concord, who were ar? rested tm Thursday, were remanded for further hearing. A warrant was also, issned for the arrest or a person who, lt is alleged, discharged an employee for voting the Republican ticket. ": THE WHITE AND COLORED VOTE.

The last Radical statement In regard to the row at Biggin Chnrch, attributes the a i ra cul ty to two followers of DeLarge, who threatened to she ot any man who would vote for Bowen, and who prevented a good many from doing so. Hearing of this at Strawberry, a crowd went over | from that place to Biggin Chnrch to remedy thc evil. Upon their arrival, the two leading intimi? dator decamped, in very undignified style, along with the managers, and the mob taking posses? sion of the ballot-boxes, they have not since been heard from. We learned from the managers, yes? terday morning, that one Wm. Rlstlg was at the head of this mob, who were all armed. Proper steps have been taken by the United States mar? shall to bring these rioters to Justice. STRAWBERRY KERRY. The bu from this precinct came in yesterday morning, and we learn from the managers that the report of a disturbance there ls Incorrect. The voting went on quietly and orderly-the Radicals enjoying the situation and having it, pretty much their own way. PCLTZ'S OLD FIELD. At this place the majority for Reform was very decided, but, unfortunately, too small to effect mach. There wrns no harry in voting; nor the slightest disorder during the day. JOHN'S ISLAND. The returns from Gregg's Farm came In by a small beat to the city, at 4 P. M. yesterday. The kook was kept bi a insaner becoming the Intelli? gent appointees ot Governor Scott, and the In? jonction of the constitution was strictly carried out as to there being no distinction of color. Owing to this want of distinction we were obliged to estimate the white vote with the aid of outside Information. From the same source we learn that, as oniy three colore! men voted Reform, the election went off in a very quiet manner. 8T. THOU AS. From New Hope Church the box arrived duly sealed, and with lt the cheering news of 32 ont of the 38 votes polled being for Reform. As at Foltz 'a the numbers are small, but we shonld be more than content If these "straws showed how the wind blew." In the whole parish the total nam ber of votes Ls about 900. The total number of v..tes polled is about 493, of whloh, about 40 were Reform. Thc elections were quiet and orderly. NATURALIZATION. In the late election 303 votera who had been daly naturalized before Judge Pringle, in the City Court, were objected to because they had not taken out their papers In the United States Cou rt. This ls the first election at which any objection of the kind has been made, and as none was raised or even hinted while the papers were bel?g prepared and Issued by the City Court, lt took all by surprise, and deprived hundreds of respecta ble voters of their legal rights. A word ot eau tlou would have sent them to the other court, but there was no one to speak lt, and the votes were lost to the Reform party. As lt ls a mat'er of some consequence to 'be 300, we hope steps will be taken to test the question whether the City Court is authorized to Issue naturalization pa pers. THE ELECTION AT THE EIGHT MILE mr. PHOSPHATE WORKS, NORTHEASTERN R. R, ) Neut EIGHT HILE PUMP, Oct. 21. j Arms and the men, I slug. Not arms and the man, as Virgil says, but arms au4 the men. The arms were what would be called In poetic-polltl cal, or politic-poetical parlance, Winchester rifles, bat I would .lescrioe them as muskets which Noah may have nsed and not admired. The men were the descendants of Noah's second son, and followers of Scott. In compliance with the advice given by THE NEWS, your correspondent, ou Wednesday last, remained In the city to vote early, but the early voting there resulted In a late arrival at the das nie and romantic spot Known as "The Pump." Arriving at the Pump at ten o'clock A. M., I found the polls surrounded by about fifty cf the | 1 colored partisans of Scott, about lifteen oi twenty of whom were armed with guns, and one B. ?particularly warlike son. or nain, with an old cavaliy sabre besides his minuet. In charge or the poll were a black man and a colore J mm, the latter a carpenter though not a Carpenter man, and a Smith thmgh not a t>lack-*initli, ami on the table were Sooti tickets awi no ithers. The few gentlemen who represented the Rerorm I f party, together with one or two friends, had done 11 and were still doing their duty as well as was possible under the circumstances ; but as soon as the Reform tickets were exposed to view they ?iad Deer? swed bu the nwb and destroyed. The tear? ing up of the Carpenter and limier tickets was Jone to the tunerul accompaniment of yells, con. tcmptoas reviling*, and volleys of musketry from the gun committee. c Some tickets remained lu tho pockets of the j whit : m :n sreumt, and Mr. S. W. Relley. the en 1 rlneer on the phosphate work's, whence I send iron tht?, offered one to a c ilored voter, where ipoa the hootlngs broke forth arresh, coupled ivltb threats to take his life should he dare r -peat the offence. A Bhort time after th" enacting of this llsgracemi scene, Mr. Theodore Boag arrived on the groused, and, uudcr his protctlon, a colored J [Wormer deposited hl? voie, the gallant gunners c seeming to have an Instinctive knowledge of the b fact ?hat our goo I friend '"Tozey" is not to be ii trifled with. Whilst, however, the few white men I present were ready and willing to protect any c colored man who desired to cast a vote on the v side or b meaty and reform, t?ie negroes were In- t ilrnLUted by the threatening, and. to their minds, ji warlike attitude of the gnu committee, and jot correspondent In vain endeavored to inspire the; with the required amount of nerve. Thus wei numbers of colored men Intimidated either Int voting for Scott or not voting at all. If the ele tlon has been conducted In many localltli as itt was at the Eight-mile Pump, d feat ls a foregone conclusion, and the: needs no ghost to come from the grave to tell t that we are not yet to be Scott free from the evl by walch our good old State ls oppressed. Tl United States Deputy marshal up here-or, i least, a colored mao who wore the badge of one sent here to see that things be fairly conducta compelled the colored voters to open their tlc et 3, so as to allow the crowd to know whet h i they were for Scott or not. On being warne however, to desist, he did so relactantly. The conn; may be fair, but the election, at leas so far as this poetic Pump is concerned, was' swindle and ? fraud of magnificent and gigant proportions. On the grounds I have above statei (and I can furnish proof of the correctness of m report,) we should demand a second'trial, an should we succeed In getting one, be.prepared I meei vo'e wt?i vote and gunners with gunners. HOULTBIB. Kershaw. Letters from Kershaw report that the whlti polled their foll strength, and that the people ai In fine-spirits. The Radical majority is about 25 which ls about one-fourth of what the Seo clique expected. WlUlamtbnrg. A letter to THE NEWS, dated Klngstree, Oct< ber 20, gives the following statement of the Ti salt of seven precincts: Republican. Reform.

We have greatly reduce their majority. At the last elections they hai about 1800 majority. Now they wiU not get lha many votes in the county." Another correspondent Bays : "The Radical majority ls about 500. The whit? people voted nobly and turned out almost to i man for Reform." [This ls doing very well. The colored votlnf majority ls 873.] Anderson. A letter to THE NEWS, dated Pendleton, Octo ber 19, half-past 6 P. M., says: "At this box we have polled 260 votes, of which 133 are blacks, and 127 whites. Seven blacks voted for Reform, and one white man for Scott, so that there ls a tie vote. At Anderson Court? house, the Radical majority ls only loo. We shall beat them to death tn this county." A private letter received last night reports that the Reformers have eight hundred majority in Anderson County. Picken?. At Gaines's shop, at 2 o'clock on Wednesday, the Reform vote was double the Scott vote. Pick ms will give one thousand majority for Reform. Colleton. - - The following letter was received yesterday: "ASH z POO FERBY, October 19.

The Radicals hreatened the Uves of thc colored men who voted iie Reform ticket, but did not carry their threats ni o execution. The votes ls, whites 137, colored 164, a colored majority of only 27. The whites urned out almost to a man, and the Radicals roted all their strength." Orange.iurg County will probably give 1000 ladlctd majority. Another report from Orangeburg is as follows: "The Radicals claim a majority of 2000. At frenchville and Oraageburg Courthouse there ire large Conservative gains; at the other polls, ladlcal gains, as the whites did not turn out at ill well." Edgefield.

WASHINGTON, October 21. President Grant proclaims the 2 fh proximo as a day or thanksgiving. General Capron and J. R. Dodge, the statisti? cian or the Agricultural Department, will visit the Augusta (Ga.) Fair. Sen ?tor Cameron was struck with apoplexy at Baltimore, and has been sent home In a special The Democratic Congressional Committee has Issued an address congratulating the party on successes in the recent elections, and urging the Democrats to make still greater exertions. The Agricultural Department Issues the rollow ing : The Increase In the area planted In cotton waa estimated In Joly at twelve per cent. On the 1st orociober the appearance or the crops was re? ported as follows : Below an average In condition, '.Mississippi 0 perceut, average 4; Louisiana 8; Georgia l; Tennessee 3. Above an average In con? dition, Texas 5 uer cent; Arkansas 5; Florida 2; .South Carolina 4; North carolina 7. Combining then, the clements of average planted and the condition of the crop on the l?t October, th6 na? tural expcca'lon-other circumstances being equal-would lead us to a comparison with last year as follows : North Carolina 15 per cent. In? crease; South Carolina 9 per cent ; Georgia 5 per per cent.; Florida 9 per cent.; Alabama 8 per cent.; Misslsslsslppl 10 per cent.; L misiona 10 per cent.; Texas 30 per cent.; Arkansas :5 per cent.; Tennessee J ner cent. This would give a crop exceeding 3,500,000 bales; but the indications or theseason thus far.the reports since October 1st, and the probabilities of a ravorable autumn for maturing and picking the top crop, do not prog? nosticate a return of the remarkably favorable ex? perience of the past season. In 1869 discourage? ments and drawbacks appeared with the plant In the spring, and gradually disappeared, the season being ravorable almost beyond precedent, and the plant exempt from frosts, rains, In? sects and disease. The present crop was vigorous In l's early growth, running to weed rather than to boh: was bumed with drought in August and flooded with rain In Sep? tember; has endured vicissitudes unfavorable to continued rrultrnhiess,.tud causing a general shed? ding or forms and occn3lou.il rotting of bolls. The boll-worm laid army worm have bean at work in some plane*, and ru? ls more or less prevalent In ah the cotton States. The opening of tne later bolls b unusual'y well advanced in most places, and the last picking promises to be light. These indications, instead of point? ing to an Increase of a third of a million bales, render lt probable that the present crop will be no larger than the last. And if the remainder of the season should be very unpropitious, a reduc? tion or2.0.ooo bales might result. Another month or two wul determine whether the preseat ero p shall be limited to 3 000,000 bales, or rise to 3,500, DOO bales As predicted early lu the season, the promise of an average crop upon the present area la cultl vation has reduced the price to 15 cents a pound, to the very verge or profitable cultivation, and correspondents are already reporting the ruin of planters who grow cotton exclusively and buy all their agricultural supplies. A Savananah dispatch states that the brig Three Sisters was abandoned at sea, the crew seing all saved. THE GOLD AND BOND MARKET. NEW YORK, October 21. The chief feature to-day was the decline in gold and sadden ease in borrowing ?ates for gold attributed to the rumor of Boat well's inten? tion to anticipate the November Interest without rebate.
