Among one of the rea SOBS 1-, that whatever goodwill Prussia may show to the Court, she shows none to the English people.' . -The London Str "dard, In a sharp criticism on the ambitious p .ns and ends of Prussia md King William, calls to account Mr. Gladstone's government for the alacrity lt has displayed tn congratulating the Emperor of Germany on his tue French RepnbHc -Within the las: few weeks a great military ex? citement bas pervaded In England. The cry now is for armaments, organization or the war office and the admiralty, the Increase of the battalions, The creatlou of an efficient reserve-anything, In fact, to prevent the loss by England ot her posi? tion among the great powers. -The London Times thinks that the manner In which the amnesty to Fenian prisoners has been re? ceived lu Ireland "ls not, on the whole, unsatisrac .tory. Among all the classes who.c"- opinion In a country like England could be considered of con? sequence, the release or the prisoners bas contrib? uted to promote a reeling of confluence, and has been accepted as a sign of strength, not or weak ness." -The publisher or the Printers' Circular, Jn -Philadelphia, with the view of determining who ls the fastest type-setter in tho country, offers three prizes: First, a solid silver composing stick; second, a ?liver medal; third, a bronze medal.

At'one time venders ofslaglng birds tried to introduce a taste fur them, asan element of rood, among the Parisians, but there was so much iudigration and horror expressed by the ladles that the Idea was abandoned. And so the singing birds-perhaps the only evidences or cheerfulness lu thc beleaguered city-still lill the air with their merry notes. -The Dublin newspapers, speaking or tho terms of the amnesty to the Fenian convicts, says that the conditions of in J pardons are that the released prisoners shall not return to Ireland until after the expiration of their respective sentences Those condemned to Ave years' pe?al .servitude wlU be free to return In about a year, and those sentenced to twenty years will be exiled for fifteen years. It was at first supposed that the banish? ment was to be perpetual. -M. Victor Huzo having recently declared, in a burst or patriotic exalt anon, that he wo dd sally from Pans with the battery of artillery In which bis two sons are serving, the members of the bat? tery In question, as soon as they heard of his reso? lution, marched to his residence and protested against his design. "Everybody can tight, " they 80id to hin,, "but everybody canuot write 'Les Cfiattments ;' so stay at home and take cure of * lHe so precious to France ' This must have tickled the vanity of this dramatic old mau. -On Monday last thc price or beef In New York was lower than lt ha* been at any previous time durlnT the list seven years. From 1883 to 1868 tuen? was an uau-ual scarcity of beer in market-a scarcity due partly to the extraordi? nary demand caused by the armies in the field and partly to the ract that the great grazing grounds of the Middle States were rendered Use? less by Union or Confederate troops. Latterly, however, the supply bas more nearly equalled the demand, and hence the prices have si .wly but steadily declined. -A London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, writing of the Prussian objections to the marriage of thc Princess Louise to the Mar? quis of Lorne, says there ls a gratlfytng|cer ninty that ihey will be treated with dignified dlsrega d by the mast nous personage whose Judgment has been from the first appi eclated and approved by the nation. No act or ber long reign hos indicated more clearly the Queen's perception of the true ldlosyncracy of her people, and there can be no donbt that the word of the sovereign having once been given in such a case, the whole nation would reject as an Insult the Idea that lt could or should be broken to humor the prejudices or a foreign court. -A New York letter of thc 14th Instant says : "Bismarck's order that the enemy's merchant vessels shall cea-e to be exempt from capture -after another moir h, ts creating some stir among shippers by the Havre s:eamers. and the first ef? fect will probably be a reduction or business un? der that flag. The commanders of these vessels, bowever, say they have no apprehension whatso ever of German cruisers. _If they meet them at sea they can ran away from them as before, and as for blockading Havre or Brest, they tell ns the thing ls oat or the question, as the rr us s ian war vessels have quite as much os they can do to de? fend their own ports, on the Baltic se?boffrd, without venturing experiments of that kind. There are others who think that before another month has run its course Paris ?rill have fcurrou dered, ami peace will bc made, so that noshing may come of thc order after all." -The statistics or immigration tarnish, ia their varj in? record from year to year, an Interesting view of the multiform growth of our country. Duriug the twelve months of 1870 the number of immigrants arriving at the port of Sew York, where tho greatest inOux is received, was 211.190. or more than enough to fully populate some of our smaller State?. Ireland alone seat more than one fourth of these, and Germany more than one-third, and the immigration from the whole of Gt eat Britain aggregates nearly one half of the entire number. From France we received only twenty two hundred, while Scandinavia contributed fif? teen thousand. Russia, Switzerland and Holland send about Ave hundred each, while far off Austra? lia contributes nine, and the recent advantages be? stowed upon gentlemen or color have enticed only eleven irom Africa. The decrease In immi? gration from last year ls less than fifty thousand, not equalling what was expected on account of thc war. Germany, or ?ourse, shows the greatest falling off; but the largest proportional loss has been from the Scandinavian States, caused by the interf?rence or the war with the tines of steamers which have been their principal means of transportation. The Scandinavian immigra? tion promises to surpass that of either Ireland or Germany in the future, and is also among the best f ir this country to receive. Thc Charges Against Governor Scott. We print in another column an article from the New York Sun, of Monday, pur? porting to be i he voluntary statement of Mr. Samuel Hoggett, of No. 193 Madison street,' New York, which statement is said to be substantiated by several affidavits made by memb?ra of the party to which Mr. Hoggett belonged. It is alleged by Mr. Hoggett "that an agent of Governor Scott went to New York some three months since and engaged twenty-five men to come to Sooth Carolina to serve as deputy State constables. The chief of this party was Colonel James E. Kerrigan. They went to Columbia, and were duly commissioned, and armed with Winchester rifles. They found that Gover? nor Scott and his intimate friends thought themselves in constunt danger of assassina? tion by the bullets of the Ku-Klux, and they were informed that their particular duty was to defeud them and kill their enemies. Some of the leaders of the Ku-Klux were pointed ont to them. They were promised that if these leaders were killed, the killers should receive ten thousand dollars for each man killed, and be protected by the State authori? ties. These deputy constables were subse? quently seat out to the Union gold mines, fifty miles or thereabouts from the City of Colurribia, to protect negro miners. On this expedition, Mr. Hoggett says, they were ac? companied by fifteen United States regulars under Lieutenant Paul. They remained there ten days, and were thrice attacked at night, but do not appear to have killed any one. Finally, after having been in the State plished anything, they were paid at the rate of $2 a day, and ordered to leave. With this order they complied, and many of them are now in New York city." This extraordinary story does not take us by surprise. A'jout, two weeks ago, we re? ceived what purported to be a statement made by Colonel James E. Kerrigan, of New York city, in which charges are made similar to those contained in the letter of Mr. Hoggett The statement received by us is dated from New York, and reids as follows: In November last Colonel C. C. Baker, for? merly a United States army officer, and Messrs Puffer ami Runkle, came to this city to pro? cure, ostensibly lor the pirposeof defending tho Union gold mines, (formerly the Black mines) in Union County, S. C., some fifty men. They were acquainted* with Captain Wnsh burneofthe Ninth Precinct. Captain Wash burne Introduced Baker to Colonel James E. Kerrigan, who agreed to Qnd the men In a few lays. It was finally decided that twenty-five would be sufficient, and ihis number of labor, ing men, mechanics and others, were engaged and sent to Columbia, S. C. Among the num? ber were Colonel Kerri .un and Captain Lind? say, both well known .ti this city as ardent Fenians. After arriving at Columbia each man was armed with Spencer rifles, revolvers, a com? mission from Hubbard, chief of police, as policemen, and one from the Governor, as constables. Colonel Kerrigan, it ls stated, was commissioned as a captain of the South Carolina militia These commissions were all ilated November 17, 1870. After their arrival at Columbia, In the latter part of the month, Colonel Kerrigan and Cap? tain Lindsay were Informed by Governor Scott Lhat if. five men were removed from Union County lt would be worth $30,000, and inti? mated that they should be robbed and op? pressed. II they resisted, "their saddle?, should be emptied;" they "should be losr." Thee were the terms used by the Governor. Colonel Kerrigan and Captain Lindsay ap? parently acquiesced In this cold-btooded pro? position, and awaited further developments. Their pay for this was to bc shares in tho gold raines and ult limy could make by idbbery, besides their regular pay as constables. Among the men who were thur to be sum? marily cleaned out. were the obnoxious Dem jcrats, Messrs. Pearson, Smith, Gibbes, West ind Sumner, all wealthy men, and controlling :he county. Mr. West, who was captain of a ?ompauy of men formed for suppressing dis jrders, was particularly obnoxious to the Gov? ernor, and he designated him to be '"lost." Mr. Hague, the Governor's private secreta? ry, told all of the twenty-five men In Rose's Hotel, Columbia, S. C., that lt was Intended ,hat they should "clean out" seventy citizens >t the county, and that the Governor would leo that limy came out ot any legal trial with lying colors. At this Interview with the men, ?aker, Runkle and Puffer were present, and tcqulesced lu all that H-igue said. Representative Joe Crews, of Laurens, also vanted S. B. Ford, J. Kyle and A. McCurley, if Laurens, robbed and murdered. Crews vould pay liberally, and if detected, the Gov? ernor, he guaranteed, would pardon any one rho was captured. One ot the above three citizens, lt was stated y Crews, had a safe in his residence, which, ; was reported, contained $15,000 or $20,000. 'his money was to belong to the men who ' captured it. These men were to be ki anyhow. Crews was ?o anxious that he grew irai and he told two of the party who went n here-Messrs. Cochrane and Barrow-that would give them anything they wished ii t would only murder Ford, Kyle and McCur Larkin Lancashire, a distiller of Uc County, was also to be put out of the way. Colonel Kerrigan counselled his men no do as Governor Scott, Hague, Baker and Cn desired, but to hold their commissions as li as possible, so as to get a l the money poss for "heir services. When it was found t Kerrigan and his men would not assassinat* rob, they were recalled by Captain Hubb offic ially, and paid off by Governor Scott. Tl have all arrived here and arc at present in city. This communication is so circumstanl in ita statements that we did not feel at erty to treat it as a malicious fabricati On the other hand, we were unwilling print it without giving Governor Scott I opportunity of making such explanation, denial, as to him might seem fit. We cordiugly forwarded a copy of the statemi of Colonel Kerrigan to Governor Scott, w the request that he would give tho mat his immediate attention. Upon the 1: instant we received by mail tho follow] letter, which we now feel at liberty publish ; STATR OF SOUTH CAROLINA, ) Ex EC OT tva DEPARTMENT, > COLUMBIA, January ll, 1S71. J Afessrs. Riordan, Dawson A Co.: GENTLEMEN-I have lo thank you for the of courtesy on your pan. in sending a copy the mere tissue of falsehood, emanating fri Colonel Kerrigan, for publication. The sta raents contained therein arc so erroneous tl they bear upon their lace falsehood and mal nlfy of such positive character as to be beyo belief of the moat cr?dule U3. The simple facts of the case are os folio? Colonel C. C. Baker, who was working a g( mine in Union County, had difficulties w! persons in that neighborhood, and alleges tl they attempted to take his life by shooting him. He accordingly went to New York C and employed a number of men under vario promises of high wages and prospective Inti est In his gold mine, among whom was tl man Kerrigan. On their arrival in this ell Baker, Kerrigan and Lindsay called at E residence for the purpose of securing a polntments for some of their party to act State constables for the arrest of the men wi were disturbing them with threats, Ac. I advised Colonel Baker to get himself one o.' his men appointed deputy United ital Marshal, which he agreed to do, I at the san time agreeing to appoint some of his men co stables, that they might be authorized make legal arrests, as it was alleged that ?on of the offending parties were from North Car lina, and that ir they could be Identified tin would be arrested and brought to Justice, i necessitated to leave thc Slate. This was tl only conversation that I ever had with Ken gan or any of his party, and this was In pre ence of several gentlemen whose word is u; impeachable. In reference to the names of men mention* or spoken of in this connection as obnoxlou they are wholly new to me, and I am n aware that such men live In Union County, < any other County of the State, having nev? belore seen or heard their names; hence could have expressed no desire to have hr them molested. Kerrigan further states that this party wt S??le'uoes'no? own a Spencer rifle; li\mc?~tfies men could not have been armed with then and to my certain knowledge they were nt armed with any kind of a gun. As an ev dence of the correctness of this statement Kerrigan, on his return to this city from th mine?, stated to me, in presence of other gee llemen, that Baker had taken them to th mines, where they were nightly fired upon b unseen parties, without any means of sell defence save the presence often United Slate soldiers, whose services Baker had procure from the military post at Union Courthouse t protect these men, whom Kerrigan represent to have been brought here to commit these in famous outrages. I do not believe any portion of this slate ment tn reference to other parties raentlonec in this communication, from the lact that hi (Kerrigan) made threats, both hero and ii New York City, that he would make dumagin; statements through the press against Individ uals In this State, If not paid his demand upot Baker, claiming that Baker had deceived bin In not giving him an Interest in this gold mine us promised before coming here. I refer you lo letter enclosed of Colonel C C. Puffer, one of the gentlemen present whet Baker, Kerrigan and Lindsay called upon me f can scarcely conceive of any man being sc lost to every sense of decency as to makt statements so glaringly false as these undei consideration. As further evidence of the Im? probability of these statements, I refer you tc letter enclosed from General C. L. Anderson, who was present when Kerrigan called on rai on his return from the gold mine. I can only express the hope that you will not publish thia article, so full of malignant falsehood, as nc good results can come from lt. Very respectfully, R. K. SCOTT, Governor. Accompanying this letter were the follow? ing statements : STATEMENT or COLONEL PUFFER. COLUMBIA, S. C., January 17, 1871. To His Excellency R. K. Scott, Governor, <?c. : MT DEAR SIB-I have been shown a copy ot a communication addressed to TUE CHARLES? TON NEWS for publication, and purporting to have been written by James E. Kerrigan, ol New York. In which, among others 'y name ls mentioned, and which, in that connection, contains so many misstatements that I must say, first: That I did not visit New York to pro3iire men ''ostensibly to guard gold mines," nor for any other purpose whatever. I WBB introduced, while in New York, to Colonel Kerrigan, as a former M. C., by Colonel Baker, but I had no business with him whatever. Second. That I was not present at, nor do I know ol, any interview between Mr. Hague and the "twenty-five men" referred to, and could not, therefore, have "acquiesced" in anything. Third. Thar I was present, with other gentlemen ot this city, when the inter? view between yourself, Colonel Kerrigan and Captain Lindsay took place, and that during that conversation nothing as alleged by Col? onel Kerrigan was said lu my hearing-and I believe I was preeent during the entire Inter? view-and you expressly stated that you de? sired them to ascertain the facts connected with the late outrages In Union County of this State, and to arrest the guilty parties. YUH did not Intimate that you wanted any meu assassinated, nor did I hear the names alluded to by Colonel Kerrigan designated for slaughter. What arrangements Colonel Baker made with Kerrigan and his party, I do not know; I was not present when they were made, and know nothing of the particulars. I cannot conceive of any good arising from the publication of a letter so malicious and so untrue. At the present time, and during the excited state of feeling In the npper counties of the State, lt might do great harm, and could possibly do co good. Very respectfully, C. C. P?FFER. STATEMENT OP MR. R?NKLE. To lae best of my knowledge and belief, the above statement of Colonel Puffer is true, and applies to myself, so far as it goes, with the ex? ception of the Interview at your house, at which I was no? present. Never having hen present when any Instructions were yiven Col? onel Kerrigan, or any of his men, or when any arrangements were made with them, and never having been told what they were, I cer? tainly could not know anything about lt. So far as the communication referred to relates to me, I brand it as a base falsehood. I am, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, J. H. RDNKLE. STATEMENT OF GENERAL ANDERSON*. HEADQUARTERS NATIONAL GOARH, ) STATE OP SOOTH CAROLINA. J COLUMBIA, S. C., January ll, 1871. ) Eis Excellency Ii K. Sro'!, Governor and Commander-in-Chief: SIR-I have the honor to report personal knowledge of an interview between yourself | and Colonel Kerrigan, December 10, 1870, at which time I was Impressed with the belief | that Kerrigan engaged to obtal ., under false pretences, money for himself and others, whom he represented as having been engaged In con? stabulary service at Union County. What I remember most perfectly ls that you refused to pay from the public funds an account which had been fabricated upon representations of Irresponsible persons, and ?hat you disclaimed any connection with Colonel Baker, or his mining operations, or. responsibility for their pecuniary or other troubles. Kerrigan ap? peared an adroit, persistent man, and made various propositions and statements, and when yon had torn the veil of lils flimsy pre? tensions, he, nothing daunted, asked you to give him a letter to carry to the Hon. R. B. Connolly, Comptroller of New York city, as if he had come 8outh under wrong Impressions, and was loser in some disappointed political ambition. You consented, and did write obligingly for him. I am clearly of opinion, which I unhesitatingly express, that Kerrigan endeavored to filch money by intimidation, and made actual threats to injure the credit of public men as well as the Interests of the State. I hove the honor to be, Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, C. L. ANDERSON, Major-General Commanding. The hiter and the enclosures satisfied us that the charges made by Colonel Kerrigan, so far as Governor Scott was concerned, were wholly false, and, disturbed as was the popular mind, we determined to suppress them. It is no longer practicable to ignore these charges, however false, and we think it due to Governor Scott that the statements of Colonel Kerrigan and Mr. Hoggett should be put before tho public, at once, together with his own emphatic denial of their truth. We say unhesitatingly that we do not believe that Governor Scott ever contemplated a plan of assassination so atrocious in itself and so certain of detection. In fuct, we are asked to believe that Governor Scott gave to a party of New York roughs the power to send him to the penitentiary, or the gallows, mramrrtM - ~uum---M-i_Ui_xUL _ar_i?e deemed insufficient. Work of this kind, if done at all, were more safely done by the [jail-birds who hang on the flanks of South? ern Radicalism. Of the minor inaccuracies in thc statements of Colonel Kerrigan and Mr. Hoggett we take no notice. Tiiese might be accidental. Bat we again affirm, our belief that the general allegations, relat? ing to Governor Scott, are substantially false. There may be a grain of truth in the mass of misstatements; but then "A Ils that ts all a he may be met with and lu u g ii t outright,. But a he that ls part a truth is a harder matter to light." MR. E. P. BOTTS, chief deputy and acting marshal, asks us "to correct u fatso impres? sion" which we have given the public in regard to the population of Georgetown, which, according to Mr. Butts, is, white males 1124, white females 1369 ; colored males 6244, and colored females 7126; total 16,163. The figures previously published, establish? ing "a curious coincidence, " were taken, as we said, from the Georgetown Times, which vouched for their correctness. GENERAL F. P.
