[SrECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUE NETTS.] COLUMBIA, January 29. Reports ol Ku-Kluxing iu York County are rife here. Letters bave been received by Rad? icals stating that ten or twelve barns and gin houses have been bnrtiod during the Inst week, and that forty colored men have been whipped. There are fears of an outbreak, and the white citizens are guarding the town every night. Ku Klux resolutions have been posted, stalin; ?iat In cases of incendiarism, ten prominent colored men and two white men will bo shot, and that in case armed bands patrol the roads, the officers will be executed. Great excitement exists here.

On Friday, the finance committee of the Senate recommended the filling ol the blank in Ute bill to make appropriations lor the per diem and mileage of members with "one hun. dred and twenty-five thousand dollars." This amount will probably be cut down to eighty thousand la the House. FROM COLUMBIA. Another Stirring Up-Hore Money Wanted-Where will It Go To-Thc Land Commission Report- Reduction of Salaries-Legislative Proceedings Executive Appointments, A.c. [FROM OCR SPECIAL CORKE-iPONDEXT.] COLUMBIA, January 29. The sensation in the Legislature on Friday was a debate, bitter, racy and personal, grow? ing out of the resolution offered by Mr. O. R. Levy, of Charleston, to appoint a committee to investigate the accounts for expenses for fitting up the hall ol* the House of Representa? tives. A substitute WA3 offered by Mr. Jervey, covering nearly the same ground, and it brought lorin a degree ol temper which more than once compelled the speaker, with his. gavel, to silence disorder. The insinuation was boldly made that attempt i had been made to bribe certain members, and certain mem? bers thereupon flooded the .muse with indig? nation that such aspers'jns should be cast upon such an honorable body, the upshot of the arguments pro and con being a virtuous vote of 71 to 25 that a committee of one from each county should be invoked to investigate the enormity. Thereupon Mr. Whipper moved aYeconsideration ol the matter, und that the motion to reconsider be made a special order for Saturday next. You will understand this parliamentary by-play. It means-"you have tickled me, and I'll tickle you.'' It remaics to be seen whether the House of Representa? tives have any perceptible backbone. MORE MONEY TO BE "GOBBLED."' Not content with the $135,090 already rated among the "mysterloussdisappearances," San- i tor Owens, from the committee on finance,' l has reported a bill appropriating $125,000 more i for the per diem, mileage and other expenses ' Of the General Assembly. This will make a sum total ot S2GO.O0O for the present session. How much ol it will reach the pockets ol , members, how much of it will go Into the j hands ol women nominally employed as clerks, how much of it will visit the purses of ' the hundred attaches ol' one 6ort and another, J whose business IL is lo hold horses-the horses J of members-or play the part ol buller around s committee refreshment tables, and haw much will lall into the clutches of the men who dis? count bills for impecunious legislators, will pcobubly never be revealed, une thins is eenuin-if the State bonds in New York refuse to yield SI of lurlher loan,' and Mr. Klmpton \ will maintain his present determination to \ supply no more material aid, lt will be the , best thing that could happen for poor old ? South Carolina. The Legislature might then , adjourn ia disgust that the pickings and steal- . lngs ol' the present session have been so small. THE LAND COMMISSION*. In the Senate Mr. Duvall introduced a reso- c lotion which was adopted: That the commit- J tee ol'investigation In the aflairs of the laud ? commission bo directed to publish the evi- ,' - dence tnken by them immediately after the sa&e shall have been taken. The public ap- F petite may be whetted by this probability, but lt is to be feared that the realization will never occur. Too much damn-ring iruth lias been told about individuals, if the truth has been X told at all, to make its publicity desirable, d The Republican editor here says "we have no J faith in anything to be done by special com- j mlttees." He ought to know his people, and v taking his dictum for a gnlde. we shall have at v best only a display of questionable whitewash e in an alarming state of nigritude. 1: REDUCTION OE SALARIES. * ? Mr. Whittemore Is determined to make him? self uupopular. He has just given notice of a bill to reduce all the salaries of the state ofli- c cers and the clerks In the different offices. He ' has no Idea that the bill will puss, but then 1 you know he is .entitled to the credit of trying s to be an economist. At any rate, he will lee! s the pulse ol' the Legi-*lature,"aud if it beats at n a healthy rate, there are none who will bid t him God-speed in his work ofjrelorm more c earnestly than thc people who doubt his pur- 1 pose now. * i LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. | The routine business of both Houses of. thc { General A3>embly is not especially interesting 1 to the readers ot TUE NEWS; but those wlilc'; most concern them and relaie to ?Vuollc affairs are given below ; SENATE. j!

'?The German Ambassador herc has officially informed me that the capitulation ol all the loris around Paris andan armistice of three weeks, by sci and land, was signed about S o'clock last evening, at Versailles, by Count Bismarck and M. Jules Favre. The, army of Paris remain prisoners of war in the city, but it is not known whether they are to be dis? armed or not. No details have been received. Count BernstoiT thinks it important that the fact ol'an armistice is concluded be circulated as widely ns possible.' ' SATURDAT'S BISE A TC H ES. Thc IHots in Paris-Progress ?rihe Cam? paign. NEW YORK, January 28. A Herald special from Paris, 2nd, says: On Saturday night a crowd ol citizens ol Belleville and other quarters, who had been threatening mischief since tue failure ol ihe sortie of the 19th, gathered ::i numbers around the prison ol Mazas, where Flourens, Milliers und other political prisoneis are incarcerated, and, alter various riotous demonstrations, gathering courage in the .".b?ence ol opposition, made a regular ulluck upon Hie prison, and beat down the gates with bludgeons, stones und iron bars. Tlie Jailor and turnkeys fled for their lives, leiving the jail free to the rioters, who opened the cells, releasing the inmates until they found Flourens, Milliers and their com? panions, who were borne forth in triumph amidst cries o? "A bas Favre ! A bas Trochu !" After .parading the streets, the ruffianly crowd stopped, and Flourens made a desceut upon the Marie of the 20th Arrondissement, comprising Hie turbulent quarters OljBellevlIle, St. Largeun. Pere la Chaise and Clironne, intending lo establish headquarters of a revolutionary movement, which it was hoped would extend over the whole city. However, as a parade tailed to draw any large numbers ol' followers into ac? tive co-operation, and finding those willing lo plunge into revolution were badly armed, and almost destitute of ammunition, the rioters abandoned their movements. Beiore dispers? ing, Flourens called upon all present to moke oath to meet Sunday, al noon, in Iront of the Hotel de Ville, and there demand possession of the government in the name ol* lue people. The rioters took the oath with, great vehe menc? and excitement, and then broke up into groups and returned to theirhomes. On Sunday Hie crowd surrounded the Hotel de Ville, and fired upon the officers who re? fused them admittance. The fire was returned by the Mobiles with such effect Hint five riot? ers were killed and eighteen wounded. The rest dispersed, and quiet was restored. Later ?dvices from Paris state that ihe gov? ernment has stationed a huge force ol' troops and artillery in the Hotel de Ville. LONDON*. January 27. A Tribune special of the 23d from Paris says that lhere was considerable disturbance ou thc 22d instant.. A detachment of throe hun? dred National Guard attacked the Hotel de Ville. Tlie Mobiles defended it and were Urra. The afluir lasted a quarter of an hour. The official report gives five killed and eighteen wounded. The attempt to create a reaction was completely suppressed. Vinoy has act cepted command in place ol Trochu, on condi? tion that stern measures shall be adopted lo repress disturbances. The radical clubs are closed. Numerous arrests have been made. The number of deulhs last week in Paris were for-ly*lour hundred and sixty-five. None ol' the German batteries, except those on the southern and southwestern sides of Furls, throw shells Into ihe city. Fires are still occasionally kindled In Pails by German shells. In Hie St. Deuls bombardment, on the 21th, the French replied feebly. '"' LONDON*. January 2S.

Pietrl, Vandal aud General Fleury are nt Wilhelms hohe. Couriers puss constantly belvveen Chisel hurst, Wilhelmsholie and Versailles. By the terms ol' capitulation, the national guards captured at Longwy are not prisoners. The French have captured the god-son ol Hie Empress Augusta, who lias been placed in the hospital at Cambrai exposed lo fire. The number ot French prisoners in Germany, on the 1st ol January was 11,160 officers and 033,859 men. The ladles of Munich have resolved to pre? sent a laurel wreath to Emperor William and erecta statue ol Von Moltke. The Hight ol'the Freuen to the Island of Jer? sey is unabated. The books lor Hie Prussian loan closed with a subscription largely lu excess of tho required amount. A dispalch from Versailles, the 26tli, to the London Telegraph, says thc bombardment ol' Burls contlnnes, though slowly, and shelis have fallen near the Church ol Noire Dame. Tlie total loss of Germans In thc ihree days' sorties were only 2000. A correspondent ol Hie Times writes from Paris that there Will certainly be more sorties and probably it will require a firm hand to pre? vent terrible tragedies, for Paris loathes the word surrender, to which it must be torced by its thousands of hungry mouths. General Faldherbe ls at Dunkirk making preparations for the detenoe ol' thc town. The French have destroyed Hie bridge ol Crecy, near tlie town ot Laroche, capturing a few prisoners. The town ol'Sable, 27 raile3 W. S. W. ol' Lemans, is occupied by 2000 Germans with artillery and cavalry. A dispatch from Versailles says Bourbaki ls withdrawing from Besancon by roads on the left bank of Hie river Doubs". A portion ol' the German army ot the Soulh is In pursuit.

A Wild Challenge to all Concerned? The tallowing letter is printed in Wednes? day^ edition of the New York Sun: To Ou Editor of the San: SIR-The letter addressed to THE CHAKLES TOS NEWS by Governor Scott ia refutation of the exposed plot of assassinalion brought against his administration has been carefully read by rne^ in conjunction with other com? ments that have appeared since Its publica? tion. In this letter 1 reiterate.the all?gations made by me, and declare their truthfulness In everv particular. The allegations of assassi? nation relate principally to General Scott and Senator Crews, although the plot was known, as I truly believe, to Mr. Hague.-tho Governor's priratc "secretary, as be, lo my nearing, pro? mulgated the safest way to proceed while relating his own experience at Union dur? ing the lat . gubernatorial election. The seri? ousness of the allegations will not permit the mantle of silence to be thrown over them. Silence will not refute the charges, although Senator Crews once said that he would takS no notice ol any newspaper publication. The Governor's letler to his organ obviously shows that a confutation was deemed necessary. Not only were tho political interesls of tho parties implicated at stake, but the moral characters of the accused were also involved; therelore, it becomes necessary for the Governor's organ to tl cry the statements which hove been pub? lished, which lt has attempted to do by-a mild use of Billingsgate and .a poetic -peroration. The allegations that have oeen brought for? ward are of such a nature that people will naturally disagree concerning them; but be? fore any court of Inquiry each and every spe? cification can be proved beyond doubtor cavil; and if the means of disproving the statements arc at the Governor's disposal, as he repre? sents, why wa3 he so desirous that the allega? tions should not be published. Mr. C. C. Puffer, who is the financial hoad of tue Mining Company, comes "lorward with a stat-ment to corroborate the Governor's letter, in which he says that he was present at the Interview that took pluce between the buyer and the bought. That is an untruth on Mr. Puffer's part; for he well knows that ne was not In Columbia while the negotiation was being consummated. Mr. Puffer then slates that he did not know of the arrangements that were made by his partner, Colonel Baker, willi Colonel Kerrigan. In that statement there is nothing surprising; lor Coloner Baker made no arrangements whatsoever. The en? tire arrangement of the expedition was made by Chief Constable Hubbard, under instruc? tions from the Governor. By the administra? tion the men were commissioned, armed and paid, save the hotel bills, which were paid by Chiel Hubbard? It is unnecessary to dwell .upon Mr. Puffer's statements, as he writes of events of which he was In a blissful stale of Ignorance; but as Mr. Puffer is one of the principal stockholders ef the minlDg shares, and ip tim confidence of the Governor, he well knows that one object of the expedition waa to create discord and bring about a collision between the troops that accompanied us and the people, so that the upper counties could be placed under martial law. These were the in? struct lons given to the party, and lrom those Instructions was educed the programme that was to guide the leaders. Furthermore, Mr. Puller knows, as do the other Interested par? ties, that the inducements offered for the suc? cessful carrying out of this warfare against the citizens we're as liberal as a subtle tongue could make them; and it is known and admit? ted by the citizens of the upper counties that the meu who compose the Government of South Carolina will resort to. any means for the accomplishment of their purposes; and in support of this assertion I make mention ol' the regular soldiers that are quartered with? in Ute Slate of South Cartlina. The Ooverndr states in a portion ol his let? ter that to his certain knowledge the expedi? tion was not armed willi a trna of any kind. The Governor ls perfectly aware of the falsity ol that statement, lor we were armed with the Winchester repeating r He. In substantia? tion of tills assertion. I refer to the soldiers under command ol' Lieutenant. Bully Baited , States army, to the people in the vicinity oC Hie mines, and to Hie citizens, of Union, who saw them packed for transportation on the morning of our departure. Governor Sjott further states that he ad? vised Colonel Baker to get himself'or one of lils men appointed deputy United States mar? shal,, and that he would appoint some of his meu State constables. The Governor ls ut faull again, for the entire party were appoint? ed Stute constables, and, asan additional safe? guard, twelve men were to be appointed United States marshals. Concerning the "hush-money" of which TUE NEWS makes mention, I can truthfully state that I was in Colonel Kerrigan's company when the meeting took place at Niblo's Gar? den, and that lt was lhere that money was peremptorily refused. To conciliate the Col? onel when hu denounced them for recommend? ing assassination, they Invited him to accom? pany them behind the scenes, which was also refused. General Anderson asserts that Colonel Ker? rigan made threats ol' exposure, und in that way attempted to get money. Now, I would ask, how was it possible for one man to Intim? idate Hie entire Administration ol South Caro? lina 1 Hid General Anderson, of whom I never < heard previous lo his letler, state the truth, he would inform the people that Colonel Ker? rigan called upon the Governor In reference to the men's pay, and that the Governor apol? ogized for the neglect, and promised the' money, which was paid three days after at Chiel Hubbard's office, the Governor borrow? ing the money irom Mr. Cochran, of Columbia, in Mr. Hubbard's presence. To conclude, I may stale that I have no de? sire to be drawn Into any newspaper contro? versy with the pseudo olllcial supporters ol' bis Excellency; but should the Legislature follow the footsteps of their North Carolina breth? ren, and impeach Hie Governor for malad? ministration, every allegation that bas boon made can besubsunllated by us who have made them;or, lei. tho allegations by mooted before the citizens ot Spartanburg, Jonesville. Union nnd Laurens, and the falsity or truthfulness ol Lhe'some by them bc decided. Very respectfully yours, SAUUCL HOOOETT. New York, January 24, 1ST I. MORE ZIG UT ON A DARK SUBJECT. Startling Statement-] teem Union. The Unionville Times prints the following article on the subject of the assassination plot: It will be remembered by our readers that we stated some weeks ago, that we thought it a very Suspicious circumstance that Just before Baker got up his lying lale about being shot by certain parties, he was in correspondence with Crews. We then supposed there was some deviltry on foot by these men, but we had no idea they had become so completely lost to all sense ol decency as to hire men in New York to come to South Carolin and murder many of our best citizens. But there is no doubt now on our mind that such was the intention of Crews and Baker, for there are circumstances and matters stated, in Hoggetts communication particularly, wtrch strangers would not be likely to know, and go lar towards fastening the guilt upon them. For Instance, the $10,000 In Mr. Todd'B safe, we learn, belongs to the estate of the lal? Mr. nial. Joe Crews's father-in-law, or which Mr. Todd is either administrator, or in some way connected as a lawyer. Again, in Kerrigan'* statement, Mr. Rutherford P. Todd is called by the familiar name of "Ford" by which he has been known among his friends and neighbors all his Hie, and Crews, no doubt told Kerrigan be wanted "Ford" "put ont of the way," for we know ol no man more likely lo be reared and bated by a rascal than Mr. Todd. Hosgelt's copy ol Hubbard's com? mission is undoubtedly correct, for such a commission was seen in the possession of one ot Baker's men, while in Union. The story about the party being thrice attacked by Ku Klux is till bosh. If there was any shooting at or near the party, Baker did lt himself, as he did when lie shot his own coat, and then cried out Ku-Kltix. We have noticed that the Kn Klux always lilt what they fire at. The tracks of the horses(?) "fastened at a distance" were examined by persons living near and proved to be cow tracks. There are some errors in Hoggett's statement as to names of persons In this county, who were to be murdered, but Kerrigan has them right, with the addiUon ol Dr. Pearson. The distance of Union from Co? lumbia ls probably a typographical error. We .ieel convinced that Governor Scott's statement, so far as he ls individually concern? ed, is trne. That he conversed with the men, he acknowledges; but the further fact that when the messenger from the gold mines visited him and disclosed the state or affairs, he immediately sent a United States marshal and hud them removed out or the State, Is a strong proof to our'mind that be knew nothing or the infamous design of Crews and Baker, and that this pair ot gallows-deserving scoun? drels were alone in the murderous plot, and they alone should be immediately arrested and made to answer for it. With all Governor Scott's faults, we cannot think he is sucii a fool as to engage in a scheme that would so surely bedlscovered and so completely ruin him and bis party, morally and politically; nor do we thltik him capable or premeditating or coun? tenancing such a murderous act. Again we say, we take Governor Scott's statement, or, as far a3 he is concerned, as a true and honest ver? sion of the affulr; but we do believe that Crews and Baker did hire the men to come to South Carolina, and, when they arrived In Columbia, made the proposition and laid the scheme lo murder K. P. Todd. J. Kyle McCurly.;or Laurens; David Gist, Jasper Gibbs, Asa Smith, J. Bice Bogers, Henrv West and Samuel Sumner, or Union. The man that will encourage negroes to steal and burn, as Crews did before the election, would hire men to .murder the best citizens of the count)'. And this.is the man put forward by the Legislature to Investigate the riot he Instigated, and is one ol the foremost to sit in Judgment upon the impeachment of Judge Vernon. Such a fellow, .as a leadervor even an equal of the colored people, Is but, a mockery ot decency and com? mon honesty. So long as such mercare coun? tenanced by any class, and "permitted to par? ticipate In our legislative councils, there can be no hope for peace.at home or respect abroad. Crews has now proven himself tobe capable ol aiding and abetting every species of crime In the decalogue, and those who affiliate or associate wi'h him will bear close watching by all honest people. Thc Evidence Accumulating. We find the following editorial paragraph In the Unionville Times: Willie in Columbia, last Tuesday, one of the most honorable and best men of that city as? sured us that while the Crews 'and Baker, New York men, were at Rose's Hotel, in Co? lumbia, on their way to Union, the following remarks were overhenrd between them and some parlies now in Columbia: New Yorker-"I am not a murderer, and did not come here to commit murder." Voice, well known-"Hand me a pistol. Now, G-d d-n you, pack up your duds and leave In five minutes. It von don't I'll biow your d-d brains out." We may not have quoted the exact words used, but they are so near os to mean exactly what was said. AU of this devilish plot ls In a fairway of being tiUly disclosed, under solemn oaths. We Intend using every effort to ferret it out, in order to get at the truth and fasten the guilt upon tbc right parties. LOSS OF THE STEAMSHIP K ESSING? TON, OF S ATAN NAH.

MAN.-Died, In this city, on the mornlig of the 1st of December, 1870, Miss ELIZABETH A., daugh? ter of the lat? john Man. Modest and unassuming, her character was one that truly adorned the Christian female. In ear? ly life, by the death of her mother, she was called to lake charge of hvr lather's family, and, at a later period, by the sad and sudden death of her sister and brother-in-law, sher was called to uct as second mother to their four orphan sons, and In all those trying circumstances she folly relied un Him that said, "Come ye that are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest." And wnen tuc stern mandate came, she was ready, and, like one or the wise virgins, her lamp was ?trimmed and burning, and Its light made bright her journey through Hie dark valley. To her loved ?nd only sister she bade an affectionate farewell, and her spirit passed gently away.

As there ls no medicinal pre? paration in usc which so thoroughly braces and Invigorates the stomach, the liver and the nerves as HOSTETTSR'S BITTERS, a course of that agreeable tonic ls parlicolary advisable for dys? peptic, billons and nervous sufferers, in the cold, damp and trying weather which generally pre? vails In our climate at this period of the year. Sudden chills have a very bad effect upon dys? peptics and Individuals of billons habits, not nn ftequently producing congestion of the liver or bowel?, or low fevers, sometimes of an Intermit? tent or remlitent character. Attacks of rheuma? tism are also to be apprehended, and when there is a tendency to that complaint the Bitters will be fonnd the best preventive. The .operation or the great vegetable tonic ls direct and simple. It stimulates and strengthens the digestive and se? cretive organs and the nervis, and puts the sysjem m a condition to resist the action of those formid? able foes of vitality, a low temperature and un? wholesome winds and fogs.
