COLUMBIA, S. C. Saturday forains. February 4,1871. MATTBBa IN YORK.-Tho Yorkville Enquirer gives on account of thc receut occurrences in that County, which un tinnily gave rise to apprehensions of -trouble. It seems that a number of in? cendiary fires have recently oocurrcd in that County. Tho Enquirer furnishes details of at least seven of theso cases of incendiarism, all occurring in rapid suc? cession, and attended with loss of horse?, -cotton, gin houses, agrieultural imple ?ments, &c. With regard to tho parties who have suffered by theBo acts, the En? quirer states that they ure of tho high? est respectability and not obnoxious to eithor political party. The Enquirer adds: "They aro tho lust persons to suspect of boiDg engaged in the 'Ku Klux' ope? rations; and, hence, it eau hardly be made to appear that these incendiary fires have been made in retaliation of wrongs, or supposed wrougs, inflicted upon tho colored rnce. That the torches <were applied by the blocks, there is little room for doubt; but of course they uro prompted to do so by base white men, whose purposes are sufficiently transpa? rent. It is desirable by tho Rudicul -leaders at Washington that 'new out? rages be perpetrated in the South, and it is a part of tho programmo to exaspe? rate the whites by inciting tho deluded negroes to acts of lawlessness and vio? lence." Of course these outrages produced strong feelings in the community of York, and it seemed likely that a dis? turbance would ensue. At this critical period, as the Enquirer informs us, Gen. Anderson, commanding tho State mili? tia, accompanied by Messrs. W. E. Rose, Senator, and J. H. White, member of the Legislature, reached York ville. Gcu. Anderson at once examined into the ?causes of the excitement, and conferred freely with the best citizens of tho town. The result of the matter was, thut Gen. Anderson ordered the arms, ammuni? tion and equipments of tho town com? pany (colored) to bo turned over to thc Sheriff of tho County, for deposit iu n place, of security. As to the cause of tho troublo iu York, tho Enquirer says: *' The sense of uneasiness was shown to h ive arisen principally from the ill advised volley of organizing and arming military companies in the County, composed entirely of colored people; of ref using to place white militia companies on the same footing; and the reckless, dangerous and undisci? plined uso mode of tho arms so distri? buted to the colored cotnpuuics, "It was also forcibly' insisted thut much of the incendiarism hud its origin uud execution in theso companies, und that the officers of these cotnpuuics failed to oxoroise tho requisito discipline over their meu. "It was brought to the attention of General Audersou that these officers of companies bad a few days previously ac? knowledged the propriety of delivering up the arms and accoutrements fur? nished, and had sighed a petition to this effect. "The following order was issued on Tuesday afternoon, and in compliance therewith, nearly ail tho guns have al? ready been turned over, us directed, aud at this timo tho utmost quietude pre? vails: .'HEADQUARTERS N. G., S. C., YORKVIMJI?, S. C., January 31, 1871. By direction of C. L. Anderson, Ma? jor-General commanding, it is hereby -ordered that the guns, accoutrements and ammunition of Captain Geo. Adams' company, National Guard, Stato of South Carolina, bo turned over forthwith to lt. H. Glenn, Sheriff of York County, for Storage nod custody. GEORGE ADAMS, C.ipt. Co. -, Utu Regiment N. G. State of South Carolina." Alludiug to tho exaggerated state? ments, with respect to occurrences iu York, the Enquirer says: "The burning of burns andgiu houses in this Couuty is but too true; though thc statement that 'forty coloro 1 men have boen whipped,' is a groundless fabrication. With the exceptiou of n personal difficulty in this town on Sun? day night lust, between a negro and a young gentleman in town, with which the recent incendiarism hud no connec? tion whatever, we hove not heard of the least collision or altercation between thc two races siuoe the first fire of ten days ago occurred. Vague threats of burning the town had been made by negroes, and thc citizens properly enough adopted precautionary measures to prevent the desti ne! iou of property. "Wo have heard of no 'Ku Klux' notices having beeu posted about, threatening the lives of ten prominent colored men and two white mon in case of incendiarism, though threats of killing colored men without particularizing any persons may have boon made by thought? less iudividnuls whilo iu pussiou. It is also a mistake, so far as wo uro advised, that threats are made against armed bands who may patrol tho roads." lu conclusion, tho Enquirer says: "The committee assured General Anderson that this act on his part, to? gether with their united and earnest in? fluence, would, they believed, enable them to prevent a collision that at one time appeared so imminent. Otherwiso, they feared that no counsels, however honored, would bo cfleotivo lo control j the excitement of certain portions of tho people. To tho maintenance of peuce, tho committee pledged their utmost in? dividual efforts and those of tho white people of thc town. Wc cordially hope that io the future no cause may be afforded, by whito or colored, for the violation of thiB compact. ..In concluding thia article, yr? are pleased to bear testimony to the firm? ness, candor and high tone distinguish? ing General Anderson's conduct in ino delicate and diflioolt trust he was called upon to exeoute. With a iow moro officers in South Curolina possessing the temper and spirit of thin geutlomun, we should feel secure in the preservation of tho peace." -< # ? ? Tim \Vnr In lCui-opc--Tim Prrsriil Slum tlon In Frunce. The New York World, of Jauuary 80, thus gives a statement of the posture of affairs iu France:. "Tho foi ls arouud Puris were occupied by the Gorman troops yesterday uioru iug, and the entire garrison of Paris, ex? cept tho National Guard, uro to surren? der their arms. This garrison is com? posed of regulars and Mobiles, who uro to be kopt in Paris as prisoners of war. Tho heroic city remains invested, but will bo allowed to reviotual during un armistice of thieu weeks, which is to ex? tend over the whole theatre of war. Tho armies in the field will retuiu their respectivo positions, ns follows: Gen. Faidherbe, with tho army of the North, headquarters at Lille aud Arras; Geu. Chanzy, with tho army of tho Loire, at and uear Laval; Gen. Cliuchart, Bour? baki's successor, with the army of tho East, neur Besancon; and tho Garibal dians near the Swiss frontier. Tho Ger? man armies will occupy positions sub? stantially as follows: Part of the be? sieging force will bo sent into tho pro? vince of Champagne, which is to be occupied as a pledgo for war espouses. Frederick. Charles' anny headquarters are at Orleans, aud the Grand Duko of Mecklenburg-Schwerin hus his troops near Tours. Von Gooben, opposed to Faidherbe, occupies Amiens, St. Quen? tin, and other Northern towus, while Mauteuifel, now commanding both Treahkow's aud Yon Werder's armies, continues to guard tho lines of commu? nication in tho East of Franco, and holds his own around Belfort. All the country lying between these opposing annies is to be neutral ground. The ar? mistice is to expiro ou tim 1'JLh of Fe? bruary, but if we are to believe a rumor said to be prevalent in Loudon diplo? matic circles, Count Bibuiurok has suc? ceeded iu obtaining from the provisional government preliminary accepts nee of conditions of peace. A constituent as? sembly to meet nt Bordeaux is to be called without delay. This assembly will decido upon the new form of go? vernment for France, and take final uction upon tho conditions of peace, already agreed upon by tho provisional goverumeut, who, it should hero bc stated, remain in authority in Paris as well as in Bordeaux during tho interreg? num. The National Guards, who retaiu their anus, are to maintain order in the capital. England is sending convoys of provisions into Paris, and Count Bis? marck has been requested by Eui Gran? ville to have them forwarded without in? terruption. Berlin rejoices amid bon lires, illuminations and processions; and tho Emperor of Germany, after thank? ing God for His mercy, and looking upon it all as a reward for German pa triotism and heroism, hopes that peace may soon follow." THE FALL or PAULS -The New York Sun says: "With any other raoo tbau tho French, it would be sufo to say that tho war is now virtually over, and that peace will bo accepted with all tho hu? miliations it acknowledges and confirms. But there is a wonderful vitality in that people, and it may ovon yet break forth tn some unexpected wuy to astonish and confound tho world. It is possible that tho war may still bo continuod by tho mass of tho French with tho samo tena? city and bitterness os tho V?ndenos dis? played in fighting against the Conven? tion eighty years ago. But this is not to bo counted on with any great confi? dence, lt is rather more probable that the wholo nation will imitate the exam? ple of Paris, and make peace on such terms as tho conquerors may exact. But if France now succumbs altogether, and .settles down submissively into her pre? scht place as a broken pow? r, it will bo only another proof of tho utter exhatts- J tiou and debility into which she hus beeu sunk by tho rulo of the bastard ad? venturer who governed her from the be? ginning of 18-10 until the surrender of Scduu."
