uObUMBIA, 8. JD. Tues day "doming, January 31.1871. Th? Iii ?lieu or tb? Urnl ru). The Charleston Republican continues its dennnoiation of the corrupt members of its party. It acknowledges that "lying and plundering" haTO beon freely illustrated by a class that it eulin "so called Radicals"-"a class of men who are radioal in nothing bnt doviitry." The Charleston Rcpubliaxn is certainly doing a good work in this rospect. We long ago rcaohod tho conclnsions of the Republican. A more corrupt party never existed than tho Radical party in ?South Carolina. No doubt it has good men iu its ranks; but, as a party, it has indeed buen, sud is now, to a greater or lesa ox teut, "a disgrace to civilization." But wo recognize tho fact, und we freely tay so, thut there is, ou the part of sorue of the leaders, a change for tho better. In this we see the brakes of (lie brains. Tho purry was so fast goiug to self-destruc tiou, that the more sagacious mon of the party find it noccssary to apply to the car of RadiouliHm, driving on to ruin, the brakes of thu braius. But, we re? peat it, tho efforts of the Republican aro praiseworthy. Lot it succeed in bring? ing its party up to its present standard, and we may lose sight of the darkness of tho past in the light of the future. The Assassination Iluslnrss. The New York Sun, of Tuesday, says: On January 16th the Sun published a letter from Mr. Samuel Hoggett, of No. 193 Madison street, in this city. Mr. Hoggett alleged that an agent of Go? vernor Scott, of South Carolina, came to this city somo three months siuco and engaged twenty-five mon to go to South Carolina to servo as doputy Stato con? stables.

They found that Governor Scott and his intimate friends thought themselves in constant danger of assassination by tho bullets of the Ku Klux; and they were iuformcd that their particular duty was to defeud thom aud kill their enemies. Some of the leaders of the Ka Klux wore poiuted out to them. They were pro? mised that if theso leaders were killed, the killers should receive 810,000 for each man killed, and bo protected by tho State authorities. Yesterday tho Sun printed Governor Scott's answer to similar allegations made by tho Hon. James E. Korrigau, nod published in tho Charleston News. Governor Scott denies the statements, and his denial is bucked up by letters from Colouol C. C. Puffer, J. H. Rankle and General Anderson.

While there, wo wore visited by many prominent politicians, among whom wera Senator Crews and Mr. Cor? coran, of tho South Carolina Legisla? ture, and Mr. Hague, private secretary lo Gov. Scott. On tue first night after our arrival, said Mr. Hague requested myself ami three others to escort bim from said hotel to tho residence of Gov. Scott, which was some, two milos distant. On tho way, wo passed tho house of a Mr. Smith, and were then told that tilts Smith was a deadly enemy lu him, (Hague,) und that if money could per? suado myself and tho three others to put him out of tho way, ho would be willing; aud that if we got into trouble on that account, ho would get us out of it, .- ince he had the Governor right where ho wanted him.

Kerrigan, and Mathew J. Fee and John Bnrns, two others of our party. Mr. Hague then proposed to us that we pct throe men in Union County out of the way, and we would loee nothing by it. I remained in South ?Carolina about twenty-five days, and returned to tbeoity of Now York, with a portion of the party, but without having accepted either of the proposals of Private Secre? tary Hague, and without having doue the bloody work which he wanted me to do.

I advised Col.

Thc commission of Strand Hoggett, which is now at tho Sun office, bearing the red seal of tho State of South Caro? lina, shows that Hoggett was appointed constable ou November 17, before he left New York city.

Td rm: EDITOR OF THE SUN-SIR: In Mr. Hoggott's letter to you about the Ku Klux war in South Carolina, thorn aro some very interesting features omit? ted, aud ono or two in which I person? ally am concerned. When I arrived in Columbia, Colonel Baker carno lo mo and asked mo at what timo I would bu in bed. I told him that I expected to go to a gambling house, and would not, therefore, bo abed probably before 2 or 8 in tho morning, lie afterwards came to mo and said: "Slip, I want to take you to seo tho Governor. I want you to go to Lau mus and break open tho houses of Curley and Todd, and to take every? thing you can lind of value. If they wake up, kill thom; and in caso you are arrested, you have tho State to fall back on. If you don't believe mo, I'll take you lo Governor Scott, anti ho'll toll you it will bo all right." I thought ho kuow what ho was talking about, and, Ibero foro, lol?! li im there was no need of going to tho Governor. Tho following night bo took mo to Senator Crews' house. When wo stepped into thc entry Senator Crows met us ?lld said: "There are poisons in tho hotiso whom j 1 do not wish to bo informed o? our ar rangements. Wo must not lot them I hear us talking, and so you go around tu y o? croom; I'll meetyou Ibero." I wont around tu my room according? ly,.rind .shortly after my arrival he visited md willi Col. Baker. He told ino ho had boon talking with Baker about this affair. There was a groat deal of (rouble in LatReus with these mon whom bo want? ed attacked, and ho said that if they were killed ho could go home and live willi hi.-, family. Ho told me, in case I was observed, to lot tho niggers know who I was, ?ind they would give me all Ibu help 1 needed until I should succeed ill reaching Columbia. He further told nie, in caso affairs did not look safe on my arrival in Lnurens, to go to his wife's house and inform ber as to who I wan. Sue would conceal me, he said, until all dinger was past. When Senator O re wa lame to New York,, ho was afraid to ?h?w himself to me; and when he fonnd it impossible to remain concealed from me, he asked me not to reveal anything that had happen ed between him and myself in Columbia; nor would he rest satisfied until I had promised to keep the transaction secret. Yours, truly. JOHN CORCORAN, ALIAS "SLIP." New England Hotel, Now York, Janu? ary 18, 1871. L.RUISttAT1VBS PROCBKUIMO?. MONDAY, JANUARY 30, 1K71. SENATE. The Senate met at 12 M. A concurrent resolution, from tho House, to pay G. W. Gonunny 8?2U for post mortem examiuations, was coucurrcd in. Also, to authorize tho Clerks to draw pay certificates for tho members of tho General Assembly and subordinate officers to January 31. Tho Committee un Engrossed Acts reported a joint resolution to au' torizc tho County Commissioners of L-iucuster tu levy a special tax. Passed. The Committee on Incorporations re? ported buck u bill to incorporate the Mar's Rlufi* Benevolent Association, und a bill to incorporate Harmony Lodge No. 61, of tho order of Aueieut Free Masons, recommending thut the sume be laid on the table, as no special legisla? tion was necessary. So ordered. Mr. Duvoll introduced a bill to charter tho towu of Chesterfield. Referred. A conctirreut resolution was received from the House, setting forth a state of domestic violence to an ulurmilig extent, murders nud punishments of a most in? decent aud inhuman churactt r, us exist? ing and being committed iu this State, and especially in thc upper Counties; and resolving that thc Legislature do call upon the Uuited States Government lo give tho citizens of this State that pro? tection guaranteed by the Constitution of tho Uuited States, and that tho reso? lution bo sent to tho Governor with a re? quest that ho transmit the: same imme? diately to thc President of the United States. The resolution stilled up considerable debate. Mr. linytie moved that the Senate refuse to concur in Ibo resolution, stating that until the civil authorities have made due efforts aud show them? selves unable to suppress the disturb? ances, or make the necessary arrests, he would oppose any recurrence lo the Gt norul Government foi aid. Mr. Johnson, of Sumter, supported tho resolution, urging that Ibu State bad already shown itself too weak to protect the lives und liberties of Hie peuple, and that a stronger power should bo brought in to prevent u r?p?tition ol the grots outrages. Mr. Whitlomore maintained that the State was amply stroug to snstaiu her? self; and, for one, he was nut yet pre? pared to beg that she lie remuudod to that condition of pupilage from which she had but lately emerged. Messrs. Nash and Swails earnestly favored coucurrencu iu tho resolution. The outlaws, Swails alleged, had large bauds of accomplices iu North Carolina and Georgia, ready and propared to join iu any attempted resistance of the State authorities. Nash stated that the citizens of thu up-country had publicly declared that the State police would not bo allowed to make arrests, but that a United States Marshal might rido from ono sido of the County to tho other unmolested, ami could, peaceably and quietly, make any arrests ho desired, und, therefore, hu (Nash) wanted tho United States lo bo called upon to preservo order. Uayuo thought that any military in? terference at this time ill-advised and unnecessary. It has been, be said, two or throo mouths since the outrages had been committed, and that us the Legis? lature had refrained so fur from adopt? ing any special measures to redress tho grievances, he thought it ill became them, now that thc citizens of the up? country, of both parties and colors, had held public meetings and resolved to keep order and quiet, to step iu and pro? bably re-kindle tho strife that was tu a fair way to be quelled. Leslie disfavored the resolution. Ile advised that tho Legislature and thc He publican party first act justly and right itself, and all cause of disturbance would bo removed, and permanent ponce and good order, so much desired, might be reasonably expected. When tho State Government showed an honest iutention to do equal aud exact justice to all, and so conducted public affairs as to con? serve tho truo interest j of all tho citi? zens, then would all tho conservativo elements unite and givo the administra? tion that proper strength which it should have to enforce tho laws. As for him, it was not his duty to defend tho actions of tho Democrats, they hod dono ninny nu justifiable things, but SD bad tho Repub? lican party, to which bo belonged, anti he couldn't much blame the Democrats, who liad but acted in accordance with that universal principle of human nature -to strike back when struck, j On motion of Leslie, tho considera* ton of the resolution was postponed foi ten days. A House concurrent Resolution, to re? quire tho Stute Treasurer to report te tho General Assembly upon what au? thority bo had appropriated the free school fund to other purposes, was re? ferred. The Committee on Contingent Ac? counts reported tho accounts of thc PUONIX, Charleston News, Charleston Courier and Union, for advertising writ* of election, recommending that the some j bo paid. So ordered. The following bills und joint r?solu tiona passed thoirsecond reading: IJill tc amend an Act to doline tho jurisdiction anti duties of County Commissioners; ii joint resolution authorizing tho keepei of HU? State ?IoilsO to buy fifteen toni of coal for the use of the members o: j the.

Tho Senate then went into executive session. The nomination ol Fd wa rd L. Deane, , as Treasurer of Richland County, wu? rejected. At 2 -ld the Senate adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Tho House met at 12 M. Tho resolution of Mr. Jorvey to ap? point a committee of thirty-ouo to in? vestigate thc extravagant expenditures in lilting up tho hall of tho House, was taken up as the unfinished business o? Saturday. After considerable inauu'ii voling on tho part of the parties inter? ested in tho job and their friends, tho whole matter was tabled ami thu investi? gation gagged. A. NV. Holmes, member elect from Collotou, presented his credlin I inls and i was sworn in. A resolution was offered by Mr. Tho? mas, that permisi?n bo granted to con? duct tho funeral services of Wade Perrin, j lalo member from Lu ure. ns, in tho hall of tho House, at ii P M., and that an invitation bo extended lo tho members of tho Senate to bo present at that hour. Adopted. Tho Hon.-O then took a reeess until 3 1'. M.. at which limo tho remains of j Wade Perrin were brought in and placed before tho Speaker's staud. A sermon was delivered by Kev. J. M. Brown, Bishop of tho Colored Confer? ence of South Carolina, from tho text: "Blessed aro tho dead which dio in tho Lord from henceforth; yea, saith tho Spirit, that they may rest from their la? bors, and their works do follow them." The. natue cd tho deceased was placed among tho roll of martyrs with Liucolu, Lovejoy, Randolph, Brown uud others, who, us the Speaker claimed, had sacri? ficed their lives to a conviction of right. At tho close of tho services a procession of tho members o? thc General Assem? bly, in which tho Reform members joined, was formed uud attended tho re? mains to the Cemetery. DiSASTKit AT SKA.-Thc steamship Georgia, Captain Crowoll, arrived in Charleston Sunday evening, from Now York, and brings the following particu? lars of the collision between the .steam? ship Kensington and the bark Templer: The Georgia was detained until Friday morning, on account of a heavy snow? storm thc day before. Being tho first steamship that left New York, she was obliged to cut through the heavy ice until outside Sanday Hook. On Satur? day, Jauuary 28, 10 A. M., oil' Body Island, during a heavy North-east storm, picked up threo boat loads of passengers and crow, fifty-three iu nil, wrecked on tho steamship Kensington, tho night previous. The particulars are as follows: Tho Kensington left Savannah Janu? ary 25, bound for Boston, with Ufteen passengers and thirty-eight officers uud crew, and 1,500 bales cotton, and when oil' Body Island cr.mo in collision with tho bark Templer, from Baltimore, bound to Rio Janeiro, the Kensington beiug cut nearly through, and sinking her in twenty minutes from the limo of tho collision. The bark is supposed to have gono down, too, as she was sinking when ono of lier orow jumped from tho bowsprit to tho deck of tho steamer; and after taking to tho boats passed large quantities of spurs, rigging, Ac, not belonging to the Kensington. Tho boats picked up with passengers and crew were certainly in a deplorable con? dition-boats nearly filled with water, no provisions or frosh water, and every ono wet and chilled through. The Georgia cruised about in tho vicinity for somo time, hoping to pick np Un? crew of the bark, but could seo nothing of them. ni'KCIAIi NOT1C1C-All persona aro hore O l?v warned against trading fur or paving any <>iders purporting lo como from nie, as they will not he paid.
