COLUMBIA. S. C Friday Morning, March 24. 1871. Unhappy France-The Outbreak In Paris. As all feared, France has thrown off one trouble only to he plunged into another hardly less deplorable. Civil war has reared its horrid front at Puris, and is rapidly extending to the varions cities of the empire-for it is yet legally nothing else. The insurgents havo not proclaimed their purpose, but one thing they seem resolved on, resistance to the present Government and its movements. Perhaps it is a mere demented mob with? out a policy, except to wreak vengeance upon tho leaders of the army and Go? vernment ns responsible for existing troubles. Three leaders in the late war, it appears, have buen executed, it is said, under orders from au Italian inter? loper, a son of Garibaldi, while two moro are in prison. Indeed, the reign of terror seems fairly inaugurated, and where it will end Heaven only knows. After the demon of discord shall have sated itself with blood, somo strong arm will interfere and allay tbo fiery elemeuts. There is at present nothing to indicate this minister of peace. Hu may be Na? poleon, or perhaps some new man not now known to the world. The followiug despatches from tho Northern papers supply many details of the outbreak iu Paris which were omitted in our own telegrams: LONDON, March 19-2 30 A. M.-Pre? sident Thiers bas issed a proclamatiou, appealing to the reason and patriotism of the oitizens of Paris to preserve order. He says he is informed the malcontents of Montmartre have pluuted their guns so as to demolish the dwellings of their fellow-citizens, and declares by snob sots as theso the republie is fatal y compro? mised, because the republic, accompanied by disorder, will be lost. He insists that the present Government is really Repub? lican, and that no friend of the republic should strike at its Government. He will take the canoon from these men who, misled by deceiving politicians, seek to inaugurate a civil war. He draws a pioture of the deplorable results of their doings, showing how the reviv? ing commerce of the city is stopped, and the shops are deserted. He continues, that the Government, hoping the mal? contents will return to their duty as good citizens and obey the laws, still withholds orders lo proceed to extreme measures to free the country of the now enemy, but is determined to act when necessary, and deliver thc principals over to justice. The Government relies on the co-opera? tion of all good citizens. Tho procla? mation concludes with these words: "After this warning, wo shall pro? ceed to force peace, if necessary, at all hazards." 3 A. M.-Events of tho most unfortu? nate character havo taken place iu Paris, and tho situation is hourly becoming graver. The Government, followiug up the proclamatiou of President Thiers, at mid-night, on Friday, scuta detachment of troops and gen d'armes to occupy tho positions of tho insurgents in Montmar? tre. A considerable number of cannon were removed, aud tho gen d'armes made some 400 prisoners. In the [norning, tho National Guurdi of Belleville and Mont marte, with many unarmed soldiers of the lino, arrived on the scene and re? leased tho prisoners. General Viuoy, who wus in command of tho Government forces, had posted a cordon of troops around thc hill of Montmartre, and planted mitrailleurs at the approaches, and his sentinels prevented all persons from ascending the hill. Batteries of mitrailleurs wero soon surrounded by angry groups, who dem Hided to know why the authorities distrusted the peo? ple, and if it was their iutentiou to mas? sacre them. The soldiers, when asked if they meant to tiro on the citizens, made no reply, and soon a geuerul fra? ternization commenced. Tho people were allowed to draw tho mitrailleurs aside aud ascend tho heights. The com? panies of sddiers on tho summit frater? nized with the Nationals, who wero guarding the cannon still in their pos? session. As fresh troops arrived on tho ground, the people shouted to them, "Reverse arms," nod tho order was obeyed. At 10 A. M., the Nationals held the ground again, and prevented all un? armed persons from going up the hill. At the same hour n conflict occurred in Place Pigalle, at the end of a street leading from tho heights. Some artille? rymen and cha."S0urs wore surrounded by an angry mob, who accosted them with shouts of "Go and fight the Prus? sians!" A lieutenant of chasseurs, while endeavoring to disengage his horso from the crowd, drew his sabre. He was instantly drugged from his horse and killed. A melee followed, i ti which un artilleryman and two Nationals were wounded, but tho fighting soon ceased. The soldiers abandoned their posts aud mingled with tho crowd, distributing among them their cartridges and relin? quishing their chnsscpots. Tho artille? rymen suffered tho people to remove two mitrailleurs, making no further show of resistance. Tho gen d'armes alono proved faithful to the Government, but wero too few in number to bo effective, and were with? drawn. At ll o'clock maoy hal talions of National Guards, fully organized, marched into Montmartre shouting uVive la R?publique!" The district was then wholly in tho possession of tho Na? tionals, the soldiers hav;ug deserted. Not a gen d'arme, not a regular, was visi bia. All the National Guards wero amply supplied with cartridges, and ap? peared determined to retain their cannot) and hold their position on the heights. Tho purposes of the insurgents ure still indefinito. Thuir main object just now ia resistance to tho Govern meut. The crowds in Montmartre aud Belleville, however, are unanimous in their clamors aguinst the Assembly at Bordeaux. They demand its immediate dissolution, and the election of a new body, which shah sit in Parin. At 6 o'clock, Saturday C7Ca?Xaj?j ti'?t*Gu Mud si ?cosrlittQ ty CO ?j * tinue. The troops have been withdrawn from the faubourgs, where the people appear excited aud hostile. Startling facts connected with the events of the morning huve become known. Gun. Farron was surrounded for Beveral hours by a mob in Montmartre. His troops proved faithful. They charged and took threo barricades, using the bayonet, aud finally cut their way out and escaped. Gen. Leoompto nnd others were uot so fortunate. Abandoned by their men, they were made prisoners by the rioters, and uro now detained iu Chateau Rogue. Geu. Puturel was wounde 1. lu tho morning tho troops succeeded iu oap turiug forty cannon iu Montmartre. Of these the people retook fivo without fighting. The remainder were removed to a place of safety. Tho rebels killed, cut up and ute tho horse of a staff officer, who was made prisoner. The rebels aro now building additional barricades in Montmartre, Belleville and Faubourg St. Antoine. Government has issued auothor pro olutnntion repudiating any inteution of a coup d'etat, warning the communists who seek to pillage Paris they will ruiu France, aud appealing to tho National Guard to put au eod to the coudiiion of anarchy into which they have pluuged the e ipital. Commenting upou Senator Robert? son's letter, the Charleston Netts re? marks: "Nor must it bo forgotten that for three weary years tho 'moral power of tho State' has been combined iu favor of 'peace, good order aud obedience to the law.' Gov. Scott wus elected and re? elected by negro votes. The State Le? gislature is the most venal, the most brutally stupid and malicious known to civilization. The wealth, the intelli? gence and the virtue of the State are ab? solutely without representation. Mil? lions are added to tho debt of the State; the H warm of tax gatherers fil ;h the last dollar from the pockets of the people. Yet the persecuted und hulf-ruiued whites have obeyed the laws, aud, uutil withiu the past few weeks, nut a finger has been raised against the constituted authorities of tho State. We have tried 'the m irai power,' aud the only result is fresh ezaotion, renewed robbery, worse tyranny and more t xatioD. "Tho plain Euglish of Senator Robert? son's letter is ouly this: The whites must, as a body, resolve to obey the luws, however infamous; to pay the taxes, however, enormous; to submit to injustice, however grievous. This being doue, tho whites may rest assured thut their patience aud forbearance will en? courage our negro rulers to lay the last feather upon tho backs of the people."

PA RX KB, TBKABVBBB; Your card in the PHOTO ix of the 21st mentions my letter to the Governor; and you "pr?sent a few facta and reports in reply" tolt. Before saying anything directly of your card, I beg leave to remind you that my letter was intended to explain to his Excellency why our people entertain an unfavorable : opinion of you, to the end that he might titke steps to exhouer ttte you {if you are notguiliy) and his admi? nistration from tl.e odium that rests upou both ; or io case of your guilt, to brand yon witj the infamy you would deserve. My motive was to iud nco his Excellency to lift from his administration the dis honor that somebody hus brought upon it; or else to shield the guilty by assum? ing the dishouor himself. A* 1 thought, und still think, there cnn bo no ottier alternative before bis Excellency. I think further, Mr. Purker, that his Ex? cellency's language to yoi, OU fill? receut occasion to which I barely alluded it: my letter, left on your miud uo doubt us to which of these two courses his Excel? lency is disposed to tuke. The otdy in? ference, thou, upon which I have wrong? ed you is that of your guilt. You ?sue this; und your card is au effort to nhitt tho guilt, or at least the responsibility, from yourself to tho Governor. Ttio significance) of my letter lies, ns docs that of Governor Perry, in its pointing out some way of averting from tho country the now itnmiueut out-break of a just and well-founded public indigna? tion in violence aud blood. This out? break, which we ure attempting to avert, buds its incipient power nud motivo to? day almost entirely in the abuse of the fcitnio tiuauccs. This fact should show you that you cannot well afford to trillo with this popular indignation. You have been brought, Mr. Parker, us you state, in "contact with tho better portion of the people from till parts of the ??tate," during the past three years. This is very true. But wh-iu yon aver that not ono of them all will charge you with corruption or dishonesty iu your dealings lil a single instance, you uro dodging tho point nt issue. Whatever may be my belief about that, or about thu truth of what you so coutidcutly as? sert, I beg leave to remind you that I have undertaken to show only that your reputation iu our State is such ns I have said. I think, too, Mr. Parker, that I am doing you a personal favor when I tell yon that 1 think you have mistaken thu natural civilities of official inter? course for expressions of respect toward you on thc part of tho "men of proper? ty and standing, professors of the Uni? versity, lawyers, editors, merchants and public officers," who have been obliged to pay the civilities due to the o nico which you hold. I think so. A crucial test of thu matter lies in tho course which the ubove-eunmeratcd classes of our citizens have, in other respects, pur? sued toward you. Il these gentlemen nave recognized you as a gentleman, by receiving you socially into their families, then you have a right to take shelter nu? der their respectability, as you have done, iu this card, lt ls contrary to my taste-? to make this issue with you, but your ap? peal tt? these professors, lawyers, editors H ntl men of property and standing, leaves mo no alternative but to mention to you tho fact that, if a single gentle? man iu Columbia, where you have been turee years, has gone beyond the oflieit'l civilities ubovo referred to in his inter? course with you, I have not heard of it. This issue is yours, not mino. You inform us that you shrink from no duly authorized investigation of your of? ficial conduct. Then do not writhe un? der a mention of tho reputation you have. Your memory is, indeed, short if you cannot recall tho repeated efforts of Senator Arnim, and others, in the past Legislature, to have the finances general? ly well exu m i II ed. They failed to get it. You may know why. I havo my opi? nion. You speak of discrepancies in your re? ports, of u "typographical character;" und it seems to be yoiir desire that our readers shall infer that that discrepancy between the Comptroller-General aud yourself, (the ?510.203 70 bf that officer uud tho 8504.21)3 70 of yourself,) should be referred in their m iuds to the class typographical, lint, by performing tho ailditions on pages sixty-seven aud sixt}' eigbt of the report, ono finds that tho figures arc added in as they stund, which would not bo tho euee if tho error were "typographical;" mid yon know it. Yon refer to, and print again, the re? ports of committees upon ymir books, as if wo hail not all of us read them be? fore. Tho people knew that such re? ports had been duly presented; but still, so overwhelming were tho evidences of your guilt (observe, Ido not say whether well or ill founded,) that neither these reports nor any mero assertions of your? self have saved you from the reputation you llave. The fact is wo all know too much of tho Legislature itself to bo ignorant of the value of reports of its committees. 1 desire to muko no reflection upon your committee cudorsers, but I must bo left free-as our people will bo left freo, whether you will or not-to form my own opinion of committees in general, when a committee has been found to re? port and a majority to endoiso Gen. Dennis' bill ol 802,500 for furnishing tho 8tato House, when Gov. Scott saw ht to veto the sume, und Senator Corbin hits takou tho trouble to get tho estimates of experts who suy tho outlay must be un? der S25.0UO. But it is not upon your books exclu? sively, nor even mainly, that I had tho pleasure of addressing his Excellency. Tbero wero worse grounds for tho popu? lar belief-living witnesses, who uro of your party, and of both rucos, and who know you well. And all were not men? tioned. 1. Senator Arnim, by his persistent efforts to investigate, Bhowed that he hud reasons to .suspect you. 2. Senator Nash (colored) felt tbat all was not right with 70a when, aooased directly of fraud, youl? lips were sealed. 8. Senator Leslie- made no conceal? ment, timo and nguiu, of bis opinion of yon. 4. Governor Scott, you may remem? ber, gave you some very plain and un? mistakable evidence of his opinion. 5. Before the Investigating Commit? tee, of which Senator Huyes is chair? man, did you not protest against being cross-examined by one of tho Senators? 6. Sampson was a mun of your own selection-a man certaiuly well known to you, or you would never have trusted him so fur. I understand that you senti for him to como South, because you kuow him so well. 7. If yon have ever nnswercd in any way tho letter of Capt. J. "NV. Collins, of Beau'ort, dated tho 29th of May, 1870 neurly a year ngo-I nm not nwarc of it. Let mo here remind you that your mero denial of that would not have u feather's weight with our people. 8. If Judge Orr did not mean you, whom could ho mean? Our people thought sud think that he did. 9. A colored citizen of Columbia.-a barber, well aud favorably known in this cum m 11 ni y-luMt summer, took occasion, in a Bomevvhat public way, at the Co luuibia Hotel, to cull you a "thief." He may have been wrong iu Iiis opinion, but his expression of it went very heavily against yon with tho people. Remember, Mr. Parker, I am giving the impressions of others. If I desired to indicate tho circumstance connected with you K-hnh, to my mind, is hardest to explain satisfactorily upon tho theory of your innocence, I should say: your sudden wealth acquired among and from au impoverished aud alien people. To acquire wealth is certainly no crime; but, with your former diameter, with your surroundings, with the opinions of your political associ?t s, white and black, to which I have called attention, and with the alter detestation in which you aro held iu this community und throughout the Slate, (for I must be frank with you,) to becomo suddenly rich us you have done, is proof well nigh nb .olute of your guilt. I should gladly spare you and all of ns the pain of mentioning such things; j but you seem to be unconscious of the power that, lies in this popular indigna? tion. This matter of stealing public money (by somebody) has gono so far that uo generalities, cither of denial or denunciation, ou your part, or that of auy other suspected man, will meet the case. Our people want and mean to lin vo proofs; aud, were I your best friend, I should warn you to beware of trifling with public patience at this limo. You muv. without wishing it, precipitate what Governor Perry calls "a bloody aud tumultuous commotion." Such 11 commotion-deprecated though it be by all peace-loving men-will be full of danger to you; of dauger to you. Mr. Parker, and to all your aiders, abettors, and accessaries both before mid after the fact, as well as to all your ill-advised de? fenders, unless, indeed, the proofs of your innocence be properly presented to the public. Let that bo done, if you wish it, for I do not propose to advise you farther-let that be done, and you may have abundant cause to rejoice in tho results. The rofe of gasconader and bully, which yon seem disposed to adopt, ill becomes you. The fact is, Mr. Par? ker, as Governor Perry says so tersely, "there is a point beyoud which human endurance cannot go, let the couse quencos bo what they may;" and I tell you, sir, wo aro in a hair's-breadth of that point, and the sooner you realize the fact tho better for you. lu conclusion. Mr. Parker, let me urge that you will not allow yourself to be wheedled into any ill timed confidence in your cause by such advocacy as that of the Daily Union. Tho editor of that journal has no surplus of influence uono that he can afford to spare-with our people since his un fort min tn state? ment in the Chronicle, of Washington, to tho effect that they aro a set of pol? troons. Such advocacy would probably damage your cause, with whatever com? placency he might contemplate his achievements in j'our behalf; und what? ever be its success, you have, with our I people, little Io gain bv tho association. ! * CALCHAS.
