ARE THEY TO BE OVERSLAUGHED?-It
ia said that the Southern Radicals are
clamorous at Washington for a share of
tho spoils of Congress. They want to
be recognized in the organization of
that body. But, we are told, there is a
feeling among the Northern Badicals
somewhat opposed to their recognition.
Tho vice-President and chief officers of
the Senate, as well as the Speaker, Clerk,
and other offioials of the House, are all
from the North and West, and do not
seem to remember that there is n South,
when the spoils are to be distributed.
This neglect the Southern Bads aro dis?
posed to resent, and intimate that there
will be a row in tho camp, if they should
be overlooked in the distribution of
patronage to be made by the new Con?
gres?. We hope they will be, and that
the North and West will monopolize all,
having no desire to see men rewarded
for treason to their own kindred and
people.

During the suspension of the rules in
the House, last night, Mr. Hoyne, of
Barnwell, offered a jocoso resolution,
that Juno Mobley bo allowed a rocess
from tho 7th of March, when tho afore?
said June "made for" the mover, and
was forcibly removed by the Sergeant
at-arms, but not until a desk or two was
damaged. Mr. Whipper introduced a
resolution for tho expulsion of June
i Mobley, and moved that it be considered
! at thc next session of the Legislature.
J Amid much excitement, the resolution
I was indefinitely postponed, and Repre
I sontative Mobley apologized to the
House, but not to tho proposer of the
I resolution, ns he could see him again.
I The apology was accepted.
I REPULSE OP TIIE KU KLUX.-A de
j spatch received by Senator Wimbush,
?yesterday, from the Clerk of the Court
of Chester, states that on Saturday
night, a party of disguised men, sup?
posed to be Ku Klux, attacked the dwell?
ing of a colored man, named Jim Wood;
but as there were several armed men in
Wood's houso, they fired upon tho dis?
guised individuals, killing one of their
: horses, and, as is supposed, wounding
several of the men. The colored people
in the neighborhood, becoming alarmed,
flocked into town for protection. The
whites, being appealed to, rallied en
masse to the support of tho colored peo?
ple, but no further demonstrations were
mado. The dead horse, it is further
stated, bas been recognized as belonging
to a man named Garland Smith. Sena?
tor Wimbush waited upon tho Governor,
who promised to render necessary os
sistance.
