The Election Riot of Thursday Night Effects of the Ku-KLlnx Dragoonade Labor Paralyzed and a Famine Threatened-The License Lai* -.Hr. j Dennis O'Keefe'a Opinion of the Lcg lvlathor?. [FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, S. C , April G. The past week In Columbia has been one of more than ordinary interest, the principal ? -features being the municipal election and the Incidents following that event It was believed that considerable feeling would be manifested In this election. Both parties worked hard; but the minority had, besides the money Influenc?, to contend agalast many other drawbacks. It may be I said, to a certain extent, that the burden was borne by a few individuals, who nothing daunted, as they have ever been under numer- J ons disadvantages, put their shoulders to the J wheel and worked with a will to keep the city out ot the hands of a distrustful clique. There [ were those, however, who sat back In despair, and who could not be routed from their if th argy sufficiently to bring them to the polls; I some even did not register; some scores of I voters In Ward 1 kept aloof entirely. I lue Citizens' ticket was made with great j care, and after much consideration; conces- I . S'.ODS were made la the lormlng oftbat ticket, which, under ordinary circumstances, would have satisfied the most exacting. The tax-1 payers desired to get a few good men of their own choice in the Council, that they might feel some sort of confidence In the future; lt was j believed that by the election of these lew men their moral worth and weight would be felt. I In spite of the assertions of the opposition, that politics should have nothing to do with I local government, lt was almost the first ele ment that entered into it. Honest men be-1, lieved that the utterances ol those of the I opposition in this direction were sincere. Tet when the day came for the preliminary pro-1 ceedlngs the lines were as tightly drawn as I .ever before, and character and reference were I at a discount in the partisan meetings, and the same spirit was carried out at the polls, I < resulting in the defeat ot the Citizens' ticket, I < and the election of a Council of eight blacks I an i four whiles. Thus has the city another I, two years of financial uncertainty before her, with the new loan already advertised, for the purpose of building a new city hall that can not be afforded and a useless market-a build-1, lng that there ls no more nee? of than there I, ls of a fifth wheel to a carriage. Jobs both of Chem. Considering everything the election passed ' off very quietly. A3 already reported In your telegraphic news columns, au attempt at a 11 row was made at the polls of Ward.3. lt is I believed the whole of the responsibility for j this disturbance rests solely with a colored ], Radical who was not willing to grant to one of his own race that which be claimed for him? self, viz: the right to vote as he pleased. This is the old story, familiar to the readers of THE NEWS lu Charleston. It ls all well enough so I long as the vote ls cast for Radicalism, and at I j ' the Deck or call of the Radical leaders, but I ! when any independent it inking ls done the I j enfranchised must change his mrnd, get out of I the way, or stand the consequence of a row In the mp, and he will be very lucky if he gets off with only a broken head. The result tn the case here referred to was a little shoot-1 lng by both eldee, a bystander -as is usually the case-being the sufferer by receiving al. stet in the thigh, considered not dangerous. I ' The police soon released the arrested parties, | and everything went on swimmingly until Thursday night, when the victorious carty got up, what they doubtless would have I . called, a torchlight procession. If any I one ever saw such a rabble outside pandemo- I slum, or Inside it , lt is one with whom your I correspondent has no acquaintance. All the 11 ragged boys filed in on this occasion, deeming I j lt, undoubtedly, an excellent opportunity to I ? yell-they improved lt to their heart's con- I tent. When the procession-lt lt eau be dig-1, nilled by that name-had reached the Colum-11 bia Hotel, eome one In lt sent a stone through |, one of the windows, striking in the face a | : gentleman who was watching the rabble at Che time. A young man immediately there- I upon discharged tils pistol into the crowd, without damaging any one, however. This i was the signal for a general pelting of the Iront of the hotel, and some dozen or more missiles were thrown through the windows, I even as high up as the second story. The only wonder ls that the inmates kept their s temper as well as they did. It took some t Utile lime and much exertion on the part of I c the public and cliizens to quiet down the riot- I j era, who were determined to enter the house, Lc where. If they had done so, no one can fore- fi tell what would have happened. Subsequently t the rabble was addressed lu the Courthouse 11 square by several of the newly-elected alder-1 e men, and as the whooping and yelling was ' kept up late, a very uneasy spirit prevailed. I -\ it is estimated that eight hundred dollars will cover the damages Mr. Gorman sustained in I the onslaught upon his hotel. I Citizens from the Counties of Laurens, New berry, Spartauburg and Union have been ar- I rented so indiscriminately that lt ls almost useless to undertake to particularize. The E simple fact ls, that the course being pursued I \ by the United States is paralyzing labor and < completely demoralizing everything. How h the counties are to live through it is more t than even the most sanguine dare attempt to : imagine. In their Impoverished state, Just I ] commencing to recuperate from the effects of I \ -war, the farmers and planters find themselves 11 unable to leave with their families to seek a 11 Jiving in more quiet places, and, therefore, 11 stay at home. They are now being thrown I ( Into prison on all sorts of charges, ranging 1i over years of time, and their families are left 11 to the tender mercies of a few who are not yet ] arrested, but who live lu constant fear. No .crops, nor any hope of any; starvation and misery, alike to thu mother and the babe, ap? pear to be in the near future tor thousands of ?he persecuted citizens of the upper oouMlee. I "Sufren or where this thing is going to end is a c terrible matter to speculate upon. One thing I is certain, it carried much fart lier, no small | c portion of the Slate will be repopulated for che mere want of bread. It this Is what Grant 1t ?nd his minions are working for, they are per- t forming their work thoroughly. All planting operations io the above locall- ] ties and in the westward counties are about I E three weeks behind-hand. In those counties undisturbed by the persecutions referred to, i the famers are working with unusual vigor, i .Fertilizers have been liberally dealt in. and hopes of an unusual yield are indulged in. j The frequent snows in many localities have f benefited the wheat a great deal, and espeel- i ally In Greenville and Pickens Counties good crops are expected. I \ The business men of this city are following ] ] the example set by those of Charleston, and | rather than suffer the uncertainties and an-1 ?noyance of litigation, are paying the exorbi- i tant demands of the recent ly enacted license 11 J^w. Even these heavy dralm WOald be less : burdensome, at least to the mind, did the people have any confidence In the Integrity of the offlcers-who are to make the application of the proceeds of this enormous revenue. The discrimination the act provides for, between Charleston aud Richland and tbe remaining counties, is a matter exciting comment among the leading business men ol this city. Upon what principle ol equity, or from what mo? tives of policy this is founded, is beyottd the comprehension of any save the wise legisla? tors who have graced-or disgraced-the Capital for the last four years. There have been suggestions here that this distinction should be tested in the courts as to its consti? tutionality. Whether these hints wlU be acted upon or not is a matter yet remaining undecided. Speaking of legislators, reminds me of the faithful Dennis, the l,watchlul vigil" of thirty six years' cleau record (which ls saying a good deal when the last decade is considered) in the Statehouse yard. Dennis isa friend o? THE NEWS. He, like thousands of others who read THE NEWS, reads slow but sure, in fact, everything, including the advertisements. Coming from the greenest part ot the Green Isle, with its history almost repeated under his sight since he has been here, and with strong perceptions of Justice and right, with the characteristic penchant for pitching In on the weak side, Ur. Dennis O'Keefe has a Judg? ment that would shine like Venus beside the lesser Btars, when compared to that which adorns (?) or is to adorn some of the Judicial benches of South Carolina. Mr. Dennis ls sound on all the questions he grapples with, and draws his pay with precise and punctual regularity when there ls money enough In the St??fe treasury, which ls seldom the case now? adays to even pay the pittance allowed bim for watching the . last-disappear? ing granite in the Statehouse yard. I saw Mr. Dennis (this man must not be confounded wltb the pseudo upholsterer) sitting on a three cornered piece of '"Granby" the other morn? ing. '-Mlather Sf ludy," says he. '-Vat Is It," says I. "Ariah musba ! those legislators," said he, "before the war they did things differ? ent! Divil a' one of the legislators wud ye see before half an hour before they mit, an' then they kim In a body and left the same way. But now they commlnce to come at aight, noln an' tin u'clock, an' they'll sit down, some be j ant, that poll of sthones, some beyant that, some beyant this, an' some beyant there, an' there they'll sit schamlL Z how they'll sthale the mooney irom the treasury. Ah ! wur rusthue ! that sooch .dlvlls should be legis? lators." I told my friend alter this 6hort lecture to wait and pray; that thingB were working for the best, and before many another sliver bair had been added to his venerable head there might be a change. SALUDA. A CORNER IN LEGAL TENDERS. Bold Device of the Now York Be ari. HUcellaneoDS Doings in Gotham. NEW YORK, April 8, Proceedings have been commenced against the Tenth National Bank before a United States commissioner, on a charge ol looking up three-quarters of a million of legal tenders to affect toe prices o? stocks. The lock-up was caused by an attempt made by Henry N. Smith, Jay Gould and other Wall street men, to secure a fall in stocks, these gentlemen being on the bear side. Altogether, they withdrew irom circulation, without a moment's warning, about four and three-quarter millions of legal tenders. In consequence ef the closeness In the money market, thus induced, there was great embarrassment Saturday at the Corn Exchangejand in all business circles. A tel? egram bas been sent to Secretary Boutwell re? questing him to relieve the money market by loaning a portion of the large reserve in tbe United States Treasury. It ls said that a num? ber of Wall street operators will be arrested to-day. It ls reported that Jay Gould has sold his Interest In the Grand ?pera House to Mrs. Fisk. * Tbe German Internationalists have seceded from the regular organization and formed a sew federal council. Their proceedings yes erday gave signs of trouble brewing. The brig Curacoa arrived here yesterday with Captain Porter and six of tbe crew of the wrecked schooner Willy Mow. Some sixteen hundred emigrants irom Alsace and Lorraine, arrived during the week, iestlned West, and ali in good circumstances. Three new cases of spotted fever occurred m Newark yesterday, and several cases lu neighboring villages. Mrs. Rosa Kelly has received a verdict of five :hoti8and dollars for the loss ot her husband by the Westfield disaster. In the Supreme Court to-day a motion to idjourn the libel suit of Samuel Samuels igainst William Cullen Bryant, ot the Evening Post, until the return of Mr. Bryant from tfexico, was argued and decision reserved. This was a case lu which a reckless reporter inposed upon the Post, the Mail, the Globe, ind the Express, a canard to the effect that Captain Samuels, who bad just returned in the Dauntless from her unsuccessful ocean race with the Cambria, had committed suicide in a flt Of chagrin. A large meeting in favor of tbe eight hour movement was held here this evening. The resolutions say that If what they want can? not be obtained by legislation, lt can be ac :ompllsbed by revolutionary means. George Thompson aud Henry Overton were mrned to death last night during a drunken ?arouse in a tenement bouse in Leonard itreec Sixty-two writs of habeas corpus were wrought before the Supreme Court this morn ng on cases ot prisoners who claim to have leen Illegally sentenced by the court of special lecslons. Action upon the writs was poet >oned until Wednesday, when a certified copy if tbe late decision ot the Court of Appeals on his matter can be obtained. Subsequently me hundred and fifty-three additional writs vere Issued, returnable Wednesday. 1ENATOR TRUMBULL NOT IN THE FIELD. WASHINGTON, April 8.

THE CALIFORNIA SHAKE. A LADY'S LIVELY ACCOUNT OF i n RECENT EARTHQUAKE. The Sensations of 'Grace Greenwood as Described by Herself. "Grace Greenwood," (Mrs. Llpplncott,) her letter dated from Sacramento, March 26th, to the New York Times, gives very Interesting account of her earthquake sensations and experiences in that city during the recent terrible visitation : I have a new sensation to chronicle to-day an event which I hope will remain among the experiences of my life-alone, apart, unique One of the kind will do. Early this (Tuesday) morning we had an earthquake, the most se vere earthquake ever known in Sacramento which indeed has hitherto been singularly ex empt from such unwelcome visitations. It oe curred, that ls tbe great shock, at 2.20 o'clock and theo tbe clock stopped. It was late when I weBt to bed last night. I was tired and weak from recent Hines*; yet I could not sleep for a long time. I fancied the air was heavy and sultry. With a window wide open In my large chamber, I still had a strange feeling ot oppression and apprehension, though all with out was profoundly quiet-a dead stillness After long tossing and weary waiting, I slept it seemed but a little while. I dreamed I was at sea, and that the ship suddenly struck upo a rock, and shuddered and shivered and creak ed fearfully. I woke to feel the rocking straining motion of the ship, and the roar of the winds and waves. I had actually some moments of vague distress and terror before realized where I was. and what was the strange tumult and shock, and knew that the fearful power that was shaking the great solid house and rattling the windows and swinging the chandeliers about me was neither of the air or sea-that the dull, appalling roar was neither the sound of a "mighty, rushing wind." nor the "voice of many waters"-though it waa lise to them both-nor could lt be takeo for thunder, or the rumble ot cars, or the tumult ot battle. It was eometbing peculiar, strange terrible, unfamiliar, yet impossible to be mis taken-a nameless horror of sound, muffle I portentous and all-pervading. It did not set-ro to me to belong to the earthquake. It seemc In the air, not under the ground-lt was not the growl of imprisoned thunder-but the ominous, defiant roar ot some unknown ele ment of death and destruction, "flying all abroa I." It was more terrible to me than the rocking and trembling all about me. What moments were those for swift, solemn yearning thoughts ! Before I rose from the bed, which shook and seemed to surge under me, I seemed to pass Inspirit over thousands of miles, and to standby the bedside of my dear ones, Bleeping in peace and security Something gave me strength, and I rose quiet ly, went to a window and looked out, expect lng to see the ground heaving like the waves of the sea, and people running frantically from falling houses. But all seemed strange? ly still, except the swaying trees. Nothing was disturbed, and few people were then in the streets. It almost looked as though the earthquake were confined to tbls house-con tracted lor by the rampant enemies ot the Central Pacific. The moon shone through a mist, with a peculiarly cold, almost ghastly light. This effect, I heard afterward, was noticed by others. I suppose lt had no connection with the earthquake, yet it increased the "fantastic terror" of the scene. My dear hostess came to me to try io give me aid, or rather comfort, but as the shocks came in swift succession, running oto each other, she was herself almost over? whelmed with terror and apprehension. Tet, liter her tender, unselfish way, sbe seemed to -utTer most from fear for the fate of friends in San Francisco. "If it Is so severe here, lt must be terrible there." she said, and my own ils trees was very great tor many dear friend s I pictured flying from their falling houses and wandering through the streets. But, tbank leaven, they escaped the awful visitation this Imo almost ntl rely. We seem to have taken he full bi UL?: of lt. We hear to-day that many leople rushed from their beds Into the streets, ind remained lill the ehocks were all past. Hy ho.-t. Governor Stanford, was perfectly ?Im, and his courage proved contagious. iVhen he told.me tbat lt was not alter all a irst-class earthquake, I believed and (rem ried, respecting his long Pacific coast experi? ence and not being a judge of earthquakes nyself. When he assured me that the worst ivas over, I went quietly to bed and there re? nal ned as quiet as my bed would allow ne to be. Tbe shocks became much lees violent and frequent, and at last were so gen? ie, that, worn out by strange emotions, I said 0 the dear old eartb, I never had teared be? fore: "Bock me te sleep, mother"-and she lld lt. At about six o'clock I was wakened by 1 smart shock, the last severe one we have lad. During the day we have had several 'tarts and tremblements, so Blight that lt ls probable we should not have noticed them lad we not been on the qui vive. We are b* jjnnlng to take some credit to ourselves for ;ood behavior, as we hear of many in all parts >1 the Gity who were utterly panic-stricken, rushing into the streets lo their nightclothes, ibrleklng and sobbing aBd praying, and doing >tber strange and unusual things. One frantic roung mun, very airily clad, leaped out of a .hlrd-story back window of a hotel. He illghted on the roof ot an old shed, which rave way, and let him down gently into a iprlng wagon. So he escaped with his life, >ut has, they say, gone Into retirement and a lourseot vinegar and black peper. We felt issured that we were as safe where we were is we could be outside, and not a soul left the louse. Buckle, I believe, says that there ls nothing hat so takes hold on the imagination as an earthquake, and very likely my Imagination exaggerated the peril, the heaving, the roar ng, as I afterward found lt did i he duration of be shock. All the accounts I have ever beard >r read of earthquakes came back to me-the ireadful stories of the destruction of Catania md Lisbon lo the old school books, with their nore dreadful pictures, and the later horrors >f South American convulsions. There ls in an earthquake all the elements of panic, ot wild, nad terror, especially lu its utter unexpected less and uncertainty. Nothing in nature gives rou warning that lt ls coming, nothing assur? ance thal lt ls past. You cannot know during he first great shock whether lt Is subsiding >r culminating. Still, we were more solemn zed than terrified, at least alter the bewilder? ed waking out of sleep, and the first surprise ind alarm. There was something so mysteri? es, so stupendous, so almost gradd Io that ihudder of tbe solid globe, that nightmare of he sleeping earth, moaning and toeslog under he still bright heavens. We were hushed md humbled; with a sense of the most utter ?elplessness we could but try to look beyond lature to nature's God, silently to appeal from 1er pitilessness to His pity, from her restless less to His rest. Now, in the brave light of day, we feel >rave, and wonder we were so awed and igltated, and laugh at stories of wild excite nent and demoralization in the hotels down own; yet lt is strange how every little new remor of the smiling earth gives one a sort of lickenlng electric shock, and seems lu an In itant to resolve one's heart into Jelly. THE HAYIIEN TROUBLES. PORT AU Parses, April 8. A Haytlen general on his way to prison, at St. Marie, took refuge in the American Con mi's house. The consul protected the general for some time, but subsequently gave him up. Dhe matter will be settled by higher authori? ses. Thirty men from Monte Chrlste landed n a schooner at Cape Haytlen, sieged the irsenal and held lt twenty-four hours, but were inally driven to the woods, and several were tilled. More Spanish Troops.

[SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEWS.] WASHINGTON, April 8. The writs of habeas corpus and certiorari In the case of T. Jefferson Greer were returned in the Supreme Court to-day, and the argu? ment thereon fixed for Friday next, the '12th Instant. The government will oppose, to the full extent of Its ability, going into the merits of the case. Mr. Stanbery was at the attorney general's office, In consultation with the at? torney-general lu reference to the subject of the coming argument, Until a late hour this j evening. Considerable interest is manifested in Judicial and official circles here as to what ) the decision of the court will be. _PALMETTO. THE ALABAMA CLAIMS. LONDON, April 8. The London Post of this morning says that a rumor prevailed last night to the effect that an Important, telegram had been received at the foreign office Irom the Government of the United States. This dispatch, lt was reported, Indicated that there was a prospect that the differences between England and America, growing out of the latter's claim for conse? quential damage?, would be sett eJ In a man? ner satisfactory to both nttlons. THE COMING} CROPS. A .Host Un favorable Spring. Writing to the Savannah Advertiser, a plant? er saye: There has net been as backward a spring In twenly years. Vegetation ls at this writing, the first day of April, as far behind as lt was on the first of March for each of the last sev? eral years. The coru In most places that has been planted is rotting In the ground. Lands that are Intended for cotton are either sub merged or too wet to be ploughed. I heard a larmer on a highland plantation say, a few days ago, that he had not been able to plough In bis fields but three days In two weeks. The ground was so wet and boggy that his mules would sink down, and coula not go. I have not space nor time to go lurcher Into de? tail, but enough ls known to show that so tar from a good prospect, this ls the most un? favorable spring we have bad for many years. Suppose a frost should come in the middle of j April and kill all the young cotton, and there should not be seed enough left in the county to replant the crop over again; where would your prospects be then for a fine crop and a good stand? There are plenty of people here in ScreVen County who caa tell you that they have seen enow in this latitude In the middle of April, and not very many seasons ago. There Is but little already made, and a power? ful poor prospect for the future crop. The Weather In Florida. The Lake City Press, of March 30th, save: "The weather ls shockingly bad, nothing but rain I rain ! rain ! Slush ! Blush ! slush ' Should the weather clerk continue to neglect the faucets to his boat's vault we will, before long, have to chronicle the arrival of some of the St. John's River steamers." JOTTINGS ABOUT THE STATE -The Governor bas appointed Mr. D. Pfeifer treasurer of Newberry, vice T. P. Slider, who has been arrested as a Ku-Klux. -The Right Rev. Bishop Lynch officiated In St. Peter's Church, Cojumbia, last Sunday.

McFall, Hillard Bishop, Adam Burley - Franklin, Lawson Green. The county all ls now guarded by a detachment of United States soldiers, and every thing connected ?vito, the Jail and these prisoners under the immediate charge of the deputy United States marshal. _ _ A BUNGLING EXECUTION. The banging ot the negro Taylor Wilson, at Sumter, last Friday afternoon, fur the murder if Thomas Keith, also colored, was attended with a most horrible scene, resulting from the clumsiness of tr. D apparatus provided by the sheriff of the county. It appears that the gal? lows was arranged very peculiarly, an anvil lelng attached to the end ot the rope, which was expected to fall when the rope was cut, ind thus break the neck of the condemned nan by suddenly Jerking him up, Instead of jilo wing him to drop. The thing worked very oadly, Wilson being raised from the platform i few inches only, and very gradually. He suffocated Mowly, for a little less than five minutes, and then succeeded in raising his land and drawing himself up by the rope. At his Juncture came the most horrible part of he wbole affair, the sheriff advancing toward lim and holding his bands to his sides until ie was too weak to raise himself again, and ?vas compelled to endure a slow death. The iffair was described to us as one of the most ?orrlble on record. Just before the noose was tdjusted, Wilson made a confession Impli? cating a colored man named J. D. Frierson In ;he murder. _ _ THE WEATHER THIS DAT. WASHINGTON, April 8. The lowest barometer over Iowa will move lortheast.wardly into Canada, with fresh to irlsk winds over the lake region.

CURE OF INEBRIATES.-At the second meet? ing of the American Association for the Cure at laebrlateB, recently held tn New York, Dr. Parrish delivered an essay, the result ot bis oDg expeilenee in the care ot inebriates. He Divides tue latter Into three clasaes-the first sonflrmed Inebriates, or professional debauch? ees, whose purposes In life seem to be limited :o the gratification ot appetites or passions; the second is the emotional class, who are describ? id as persons "wifheut a decided intention to lo wrong, and without any abiding purpose to lo right, and who are victims of their own noral weakness, or of the cupidity or reckless? ness of others;" and the third are accidental In? ebriates, "men of good principles and chanc? ier, who know and acknowledge their infirml ;y. and endeavor to overcome lt. Students, au ;hors, salesmen and overworked business men urnlsb a considerable percentage ot this class. Che majority of the first class, according to Dr. Parrish, are Incurable, and he recommends that ! luch persons be detained In special hospitals. )t this class Dr. Parrish has bad eighty-four inder his care, twenty-four of whom Improved io as to be capable of partially attending to msiriess; seven were radically cured, and two Moama insane. Of the second class the Doc? er has had as patients seventy-two, of whom forty-two were BO Improved as to attend most )f their time to tbeir affairs, and twenty-one were cured of their infirmity. He has had in :harge oi tbe third class sixty six person?, orty-seven of whom were entirely cured, and sixteen of whom are nearly so. RAILROAD BONDS AS AN ISTE6TMENT.-The ?afcty of railroad bonds asan Investment com? pared with the bonds of States, cities, coun? ties, ?cc. ls an important question at the iresent time, when the offerings of various jondb bearing high rates of interest are very numerous. The safety of railroad bonds as a ;lass, ls well shown by the relatively small imounts upon which any default has been made-in the payment ot interest during a lumber of years past. The number of loans negotiated In the New York or foreign mar? kets within the past ten years has been very large, and the amounts Involved Immense, while the result of these negotiations must be considered, upon the whole, very satisfactory lo tbe purchasers. It is true that in a few in? stances there bas been a default in interest, with serious loss to bondholders, but even in tnese cases we believe tbe difficulty bas gene? rally been lound in a bad management of tbe property, rather than in a lack of value In the property itself. The general course of rail? road property, whenever well and honestly managed, bas been such as to Inspire great confidence in the security of first mortgage bonds. ONE of the errors into which many old es? tablished business houses fall is, that there is no necessity for advertising them. Such a theory would have answered well enough half a century ago, but the day has gone ny when a business man can afford to rely upon the long standing and respectability ot bia house. Thia is a progressive age. Nearly everybody reads the newspapers, and public opinion ls made up by what is printed there, whelber lt be in tne form of an editorial or an advertise? ment. A. T.
