Besides this, it is pc polar ly believed that their pensions wer granted for nervi eas already rendered The pension waa a quid pro quo for th exposure of their lives and the devotio of their services to their country. N oxouso can absolve the Government froi this obligation, either in law or equitj and the meanness prompting its evasio is of the basest character. To rob a dea nigger, or steal s.blind dog's dinner, ar acta not less contemptible than plundei ing a pensioner; yet General Baker,. t whom is entrusted this despicable duty has lately?bsued'an order imposing addi tional restrictions,.in order that no tot tering rebel of eighty years may imprc pexly obtain a few pence from th Government: Bah!

BUb-odmmtttoe,'- consisting ol Messrs. Soottf Stevenson and Vac Trump, appointed to' investigate, tho at leged outrages id'South 'Carolina, re? turned to this oity, on 'Saturday after noon, and immediately after a statement waa published, on tho , authority of thc Radical members, though without theil signatures, which was snbooquoutly tele graphed: over the country by.tho Associ tated Press We are u ut horded, by J ud g< Voti Trump, to prondauco that publica Ition untruo in many essential particular! and a perversion of facts in others, evi .dently colored with . the purpose- of pro docing ri' partisan and fol sb impression 'The testimony shows that there are fou Counties, namely, Laurens, Chester York and Spartanbnrg, where acta o violence have been committed on bott sides. The whites and blacks are noarh equally divided in population, and th. carpet-bag rule, by which, the negro i forcibly; put over tho whit e man, bas pro duned a bad, and even dangerous, stat of feeling. The poor- whites are mostl; aggrieved at an oppression, which is in tended to make them the inferiors of re cont Blaves steeped in ignorance and vioe Every thing has boon done, to aggrav?t tho laboring whites to outrage the soojo condition of their families. On tho ver; eve of the last election Gov. Soott 01 genized fourteen negro regiments nu. armed them with 7.400 Winchester rifle and 100,000 rounds of fixed ammunition. These regiments were distributed in dil ferent parts of the State, and especial! whare their presence would be most like ly to exaite bad blood. I This procecdin was rendered more offensive by the fae that the whites, who had become alarm ed, were refused the same privilege t protect themselves. A oompany whioh had been in exist enee long before this time was disarme and disbanded by tho Governor. It is i proof before this committee that negroes disguised as Cn Klux, committed man outrages. The testimony given by tb negroes was of the lowest kind, and ul torly unworthy of belief. They were al tr ac ted by tho fee 'of $2 per diem, and in many cases, were evidently drilled fe the occasion. At Spartanburg numbet of them were congregated in the pot office while waiting to be called as wit ncasos, and, doubtless, learned the less o whioh was afterwards rehearsed substar. tinily in tho same words.! Of the various negroes who pretende to have been punished, but one we stripped; and one white man at Ooluu bia, who, while olaiming to be a refuge from terror, was holding an office thur at the expense of the State. His floti tious wound had boen healed with thc plaster. In the Radical statement, it j broadly alleged that ten negroes woi taken from the jail in Union and mu) dered by an armed band, but the fad oonnected with this transaction are a intentionally suppressed for effect. Tho were as follows: A oompany of som twenty-five armed negroes appeared i that neighborhood and openly annoum ed their intention to shoot tho first whit man they should meet. Soon after poor drayman named Stephons, wit ono arm, who was universally regarde as a worthy and amiable mun, was dm ing along tho road with a barrel Of wini key in his cart. He was stopped by tb i band of ruffians and tho whiskey d< maimed. He told them that it was nc his property, bnt gave them a flask c his own and started. After going ashen distance.the negroes fired at his cart an struck it in several places. A man wh had joined Stevens in the road, fled fe his life, and ho himself seeing the arme negroes in pursuit, abandoned tho cai and sought refuge in a neighborin cabin. . He was followed by tho wretobei and against. the efforts of the negr woman, whoso humble shelter he ha sought, and his own, he was.taken cul After drawing lots, five of the gan took him into the woods and riddled bi "body with balls. The perpetrators c this outrage were arrested and put in tb bora . no evidence of gmmine?ess, and came ja an; envelopo'crf/the: Adams' Kt prcas 'Company. Muan ti mo, the nowa spread, and a-vigilance committee roused' into indignations knowing hov Qoveroor Soott bad pardoned the wornt criminals by hundreds, and .believing it to be a trick to oar ry .?oil the -, murderers, deter mined to administer stern 'justice them? selves by; making an example to check this outlawry. Thoy took the p risqu ors out Of'jail by force aud executud them summarily. One ot the number was re? leased by the declaration of a whiteman that he was believed to bo iunocout ol the atrocious orimo of which tho others were guilty. While this aot of ven? geance is deprecated, tho extraordinary provocation aud tho alarm created by the armed blacks, as well as their vio? lence, must bo considered in connection with it. The other statements might bo exposed with equal effrot, but this illus? tration is sufficient for the preseut pur? pose. One of tho principal wi lueses, named Owen, on cross examination, ad? mitted himsolf to be a thief. Congressman Wallace, who was elected first by tho House of Representatives, and then by stuffed ballots., in a District with 5,000 Democratio majority, fol? lowed, the committee everywhere, and was ono of the active managers in get? ting up testimony. The affair in which he figured at Yorkvillo, nnd which was telegraphed all over the country as u gross outrage, exhibits the purpose to maguify and exaggerate for political effect. He was Boated next to Mr. Ste? venson, of the committee* at the hotel table, when a man hamed' Berry, who formerly bad a feud with Wallaoe, enter? ed ia Bistate of intoxication. Di a cover? ing his old enemy, he seized a pi (eher of milk ?and! threw it- at him, whereupon Wallace1 drew a revolver/and would bj?ye fired, but for the intervention of those present. Thia waa tho extent of that outrage, and- Berry, when aobored. sought to m&ke every atonement,- as the citizens did who were injured by his reckless conduct.. There-is :*no political feeling of any kind in the- - unfortunate disturbances which hftve'Oocdrred, iu these few Coun? ties of South Carolina. They result from mal-administration, corruption, robbory, carpet-bagging, and especially among the poor laboring white men, ffbm a wicked purpose on tho part of the authorities and the Legislature to assert black supremacy and degrade them with negro rule.' That is with them, perhaps, tile real and moat, s?rions difficulty. It is a question of race, and wbicb, aa the . government of South Carolina ia now administered, and as sustained by Fede? ral pOwer, threatens the gravest cons?? quences. The white mechanic and la? borer, when he finds the worst criminal protected and pardoned, the law an en gi uo of persecution, politiaal power abused'- in order to oppress him with negro ' domination add to outrage his wife and children, will resist, bethe sac? rifice what it may. He may bo unedu? cated aud plain, but he is still American and proud of his race. FAIUIWELL! A LAST, LONG, SAD FARE-* WEiiiil-We allude now to the court house, jail, poor house farm, its*mule and wagon, ita 12,000 feet of lumber nod 8,000 pine shingles, the tables and desks, advertised for sale next Monday, by the Coroner, at tbe snit of the Sheriff. Looking apon these relies in the ab? stract, considering them merely as court house or a jail, a poor house farm or a mule, a foot of lumber or a pine shingle, a table or a desk, we cannot conceive any particular fondness for them. Nothing are more common than these, but iu this particular instance, when we reflect that these are, in a measure, our own; that wo paid somewhat for them; that we have admired tbe lofty proportions of tho cour? bouse, and praised its acoustic properties; gazed with pleasure (?) upon the ruins of the old jail, and, in u man? ner, envied tho poor house its mulo and wagoo, a feeling of decidod melauoboly broods over onr spirit, and wo aro tempt? ed to think of the County stripped of nil its property, and cast loose upon tho cold charity of the world. In faot, we aro blue about the matter. We wish somebody woald stop the thing bofuro it is too lato. But the timo draws near, and for fear it may not bo stopped, wo make our adieus. Novcrtholess, we would liko a hair ont of that mule's tail, or a spoke of that wagon's wheel, a foot of that lumber, or one pine shingle, for a memento of tbe mournful occasion.

It has never been our duty to record the events of au election^ with moro pride, in. our city and her ROUS, thtm that which wo now feel. From earliest dawn, tho people, old and young, rich and poor, loft their homes, gathered at the polls, and remained there during tho entito day. ? With ecarcoly a" single exception, business was untiruly sus? pended, aud tho rubble who thought to Uko and keep possession of the polls woro beuton from their standpoints, aud put to shnnie. Thu rubble who woro morally, if not openly, mistuiued by the police und city authorities, made but fin nt demonstrations, aud our city wus saved from bloodshed. This in itself wus a glori o in work-ono of which our citizens may well be proud. Of the re? sult of the election, we, of course, ? nu know nothing definite beyond mere con? jecture. The prevailing opinion heeni!? to bo that thu Citizens' Conservative tiuket liitR been elected. So far ns the Aldermen are concerned, our opponents concedo Ihis. Our friends ure sanguino of- the success of our entire ticket, in? cluding the Mayoralty. Th? total num? ber of votes registered during the three days areas follows: Whites 5,105; colored 5,814-giving a regular negro majority of 689 votes. The total vote polled yes? terday wan as follows: Whites 5,009; colored 5,507-leaving a negro majority of 498, thus reducing th .? registered ne? gro majority 191 votes. Tho Courier, gives ' thu follow i ug ac? count of tho killing of the colored man, Grant, (who, in his ante-mortem state? ment, declared that he hud voted the Citizens' ticket.) Tho difficulty oc? curred ia Ward No. 8: The precinct in the suburbs was as quiet as a May morning, but nt the one on Sires street there woe troublo. It was hera that Balaam Grant was shot, dying subsequently ot the'Mazyc^t street Hospital, whither he was oonveyed when wounded. Everything went on finely until ll o'clock, when the crowd of co? lored men became so denne and noisy in front of tho hall railing that it was im? possible for the oitizens who desired to vote to do so, or the managers to attend to their duties, arduous aud disagreea? ble. Sergeant Malony, of the squad of United States soldiers stationed at the precio ot, was requested to disperse the crowd, so that matters pertaining to tho election could progress. Atthepoiutof the bayonet the mass was forced back, and the railing was relieved of the tan? gle in which it had boon. In a few mi? nutes the crowd assembled again, ob? structing the railing worse than at first. The colored man Grant, previously re? ferred to as having been shot, was iu the middle of the crowd, with a club in bis hand, using violent language, and ap? plying his baton to tho heads of tho citi? zens, irrespective of creed, raoe or color, who chanced to oome within his reach. When a pretty riotous state of a Hairs had been brought about, Grant saw the situation of affairs, and was on the eve of making off, when he was told to halt. This he would not do, whon some cried out shoot him; at that instant a shot was fired, taking effect in Graut's buok, a few inches above the termination of the spinal column, aud passing through the intestines and bladder, outting a vital artery, producing hemorrhage, from which ho died after his removal to the hospital. It was rumored that ono of the United States soldiers fired the shot. Whether or not wo will not undertake to say, in the multitndo of statements pro and con. which were afloat. . In our interview with tho soldier, Sergeant Malony, lust evening, at whose door the shooting is laid, ho stated that ho did not seo the shot fired, and did uot know by whom it was fired. After the shooting had oc? curred, a crowd of colored men, in the neighborhood of 1,000, nuder a great state of excitement, rushed to the spot, declaring that they would bo avenged or have blood. It was found absolutely uecesshry to Bend for Unitod States troops, who soon carno in n company of the Third Artillery, stationed at the Cit? ado!. The Btrcet was alcarcd, aud tho blood-thirsty crowd scattered. A "FAIR" CASE HEVKIISRD.-M rp. N. J.
