COLUMBIA, & C. Tuosiay Mor mn*:, October IO. 1871. Three of the most important elections will be held to-day, the 10th of Ootobor, viz: Ohio, Pennsylvania and Iowa. Ohio elects a Governor, State officers and Le? gislature; the Legislature will elect a United States Senator, to succeed Sena? tor Sherman. Pennsylvania elects an Auditor, Surveyor-General and members of the Legislature. Iowa will elect a Governor, State officers and a Legisla? ture, which will ahoose a United States Senator, in place of Slr. Harlan. Prince Bismarck does not succeed vory well, apparently, in his attempts to Ger? manize his new acquisitions of Alsace and Lorraine. The municipality of Strasbourg has quite recently elected, by a vote of twenty-five to throe, a Mayor, whose popularity oonsists solely in bia opposition to German annexation. Worse than tbis, the officials, elected by the Germans, are compelled in their dealings with the people to nse French coin,-as no other is offered them nor will any other be accepted in return. Again, when the : German generals, in order to conciliate the inhabitants, deoided tbat their offioers sbould no longer be quar? tered on the citizens, and advertised for all tbe apartments that were to be let, they reoeived no answers whatever, but upon application the offioers were in? formed they were "not wanted as lodgers. Every indication pointB to a strong de? termination on.the.part'of the people of the two annexed provinces uot to submit quietly to German, annexation; and if Prince Bismarck wants Alsace and Lor? raine, he has got to hold them just as be? got them-by force ?T ar?is. . THE CRISIS IN MORMONDOM. - Joe Smith, tho founder, of M${tyqnbmr was killed in 1844, and Brigham Young was then chosen first President of the Church. This was while the Mormons were in Il? linois. Salt Lako City was founded in 1848. Congress organized the country occupied by tbe Mormons into the Ter? ritory of Utah, of which Brigham Young was) appointed Governor by Pr?sident Fillmore, but WOB soon removed, .in con? sequence of bis foroing the' Federal Judges, by threats of violence, to leave Utah. Brigham, however, refused to give np his position, and varions out? rages whioh followed determined Presi? dent Buchanan to Bend a military force there. The expedition ended in a com? promise, by which the rebellious Mor? mons who submitted to the Federal au? thority were pardoned, and the troops entered Suit Lake Valley. Brigham has continued chief President of tho Church. It appears from late despatches that be has been arrested, os well us Mayor Da? niel H. Wells, and will be held to trial for bigamy, or "lewdly and licentiously cohabiting with different women," and, also, it is reported, for murder. The Mormons, as yet, show no indications of resistance. It is possible that they have learned enough by thia time of tho mili? tary power of the United States not to repeat the insurrectionary experiment made under President Buchanan. It is a noteworthy fact that the first proceed? ings, against Brigham are in pursuance of a law enacted by the Mormons them? selves. In all the statutes of that Ter? ritory, there are but two brief seotions that in any way refer to the subject of marriage, and both of them are evident? ly intended to encompass the Gentiles only. It is for the violation of seotion 83, of an "Act in relation to crimes and punishments," that Brigham is arrested, to wit: "If any man or woman, not bei pg, married to each other, lewdly uud lasci? viously associate und cohabit together; or if any man or woman, married or un? married, is guilty of ope? and gross lewdness, every person so offeudiug shall be punished by imprisonment not exceeding ten years and not lees than six months, and lined not more than $1,000 and not less than $100, or both, at tho discretion of the court." SHALL THEY RB REMOVED?-Wo com? mend to the consideration of Governor Scott the following extract from tho presentment of the grand jury of An? derson County, printed in the Intelli? gencer of Ootober 6: "They farther present that some of the Trial Justices ure notoriously known as being frequently drunk, so much so as to incapacitate, them from properly discharging the duties df their offices, and to greatly delay the administration of justice; and we recommend to the Legislature the great propriety of enact? ing some law, providing that all tho County officers, including Trial Justices, shall be eleoted by the people." Tho looal of the Greensboro Patriot has seen a white oak log brought through that place which measured 16>? feet cir? cumference at tbe butt. It wau out from the Guilford Court House battle-field. London bas invented a new and ole g>nt water-proof clonk. It is of boiled silk, lined with rubber. It is a perfect protection from wet, besides hoi uti a rather elegant looking garment. PUESTO 1 CHANOS. -Hie Excellency Go vcmor Scott has been "interviewed" by ooo of the attach?es of tbe Courier, whom be assured tUat he bad been mis repru8entod by tho' Columbia Union, wbioh administration organ bad incor? rectly reported bis speeoh. The speech in question was delivered by Governor Scott, la?t week, before the Republican State Central Committee, in Columbia, and was reported by the Union as fol? lows: "The Governor addressed tho meeting by invitatiou, expressing his' d?termina? tion'to exhaust his powers to snppresH tho Ku Klux Organization, and assured thu committee that measures hud been taken to moko tbe session of tba next United States Court ia this city as me? morable to - the mid-night assassins aa was tho late session of tbe court presided over by Judge Bond, in Raleigh. Hu said that every pledge of the Democratic leaders in the up-couutry, and the pledges of the same party in the Tax Payers' Convention, bad beon broken, and that he had no louger any faith in anything but the strong arm of power." But the Governor now protests that he said nothing of the kind. His own version of the speech is vory differ? ent. In reply to tbe Courier corres? pondent, who asked what the speech really was, Governor Soott sahl: Governor-Ia my speech before the committee, whiob lasted only ten mi? nutes, I was careful to avoid any allusion to the Democratic party. The commit? tee bad been dieoassing martial law, ard were severely condemning some of my recent appointments. I stated that I was glad that they had como to tbe same conciliai ou as myself as to the proper policy to bo pursued. I believed in the ebforoomeut of theo? vii law, as it is tho only law ia arepublioby which the liber? ties of tho people can - be preserver!. I said we had had enough of martial law ia 1865 and 18138 to convince mo'that it was not the proper remedy for our evils. Reporter-Then you -ure opposed to martial law? Governor-Most unequivocally, and my principal object in making that speech was to show those men who are so clam? orous for martial law that they are pur-' suing a mistaken policy. . - Reporter-Well, how. about the 'vio? lated pledges that you alluded to? Governor-I did not make any accu? sations against the Democratic party. .Reporter-What about tho Tax-payers' Convention? Governor-There, again, I have been incorrectly reported.' Ia my speeoh I said I hoped the action of the Tax-pay? ers4 Convention would' have done muoh to quiet the people, and I regret to say that, too, had failed. How I? Itt Mn.

NBOBO DBUTS AGAIN-.-At the laat term of the Court of Common Pious for this County, the question of negro debts was brought directly before the oourt. Suit had been brought upon a note, which was shown by the evidence to have been given in part for the purchase money of a negro slave. In charging the jory, his Honor Judge Orr stated that when elected to office he bad taken au oath to support the Constitution of this State; that a clause of that Constitution ex? pressly forbade the collection of debts, the consideration of which was the pur? chase money of a slave or slaves; that in his opinion thin plauso was not incon? sistent with any portion of the Constitu? tion of the United States, which also h? had Bworn to support, and that, there? fore, he was coustrained by the. oath which be had taken to oharge them that they could not, cousistently .with law, dud a verdict lon that portion of the debt whiob was for a slave. He stated that he had a distinguished precedent in disregarding tlie late decision of the Su? preme Court of thia State deoluriug such debts oolleotublo.-. That Judge Earle, in tho oaso of the State va. McBride, and upon somewhat similar grounds', had re? fused to regard a decision of. the then Supreme Court, aud had beeu sustained by the remodelled Supreme Court which heard tho case on appeal. Tho jury were out but a few minutes, and in their ver? dict ignored the negro, part of the debt. Wo do not know whether an appeal will be taken or not. .[Greenville Mountaineer. MURDEH OF A RAILROAD AGENT.-We learn that on Saturday eveniug or early on Sunday morning, the agent of the North-eastern Railroad,|W. ii. Fidea, at Oakley, (a station about twenty-seven miles from the city.) was murdered. His body was found io the depot on Sunday morning. The contents of the depot were apparently undisturbed, but bia wife, who was absent at the time cf his murder, states that he had been robbed of about $700, supposed to be mostly of his own earnings.-Charleston Courier. A FATAIJ ACCIDENT.-Ou Thursday af? ternoon, a man, a stranger in the oity, apparently, called at the dwelling of Mr. G. W. J. DeRunoe, in ?avauutih, and going up the steps, rang tho door bell. While in tho aotof ringing the bell he fell backward and struck his bead ou the stone.

The follow i up; is taken from the Farmer*a Home Journal: Ot tlio multifarious objects to which the interests and attention of- David, King of the Jews, woe directed in pro? moting the national policy of bia peo? ple, we have, in a very brief recital of tba organization of the "home depart? ment," a glimpse' of the prosperous state of agriculture, in. tho latter part of his reign. It ap" peats ifom First Glironi ules, 27, that, in tho department of the interior were twelve distinct aubordinute departments of o Qi ces, tho incumbents of which were doubtless of tin; first in? telligence und skill, each of his nppropri* ate business. These oflioes were in tbe following numerical order: 1. Treasury; 2. Overseer of Stures; 3. Tillage: 4. Vineyard?; 5. Wino Cellurs; t?. Ulive Crees; 7. Oil Cellars; 8. Shara a Herd man; 9. Valley Herdmuu; 10. Camel Overseer; ll. Overseer of Asses; 12. Shepherds. David's wars had ended-his ouemieH subdued-the nation was Nettling down tn peace. The military chieftuiu, from piuuuiitg and conducting campaigns, be? came tho Presideut of the National Agri? cultural ?Society. It was un era in the history of David and of tho nation-a delightful epooh in tbe un nala of the world-the formation of au agricultural society. Tho orgimizatiou is proof, not only of the prosperous condition of agriculture at that timeuinoug the Jews, but marks the wisdom of David, of whom it must be admitted that he was the originator or founder of agricultural societies. The progress of tho nation during David's reign was very grout, aa it was only iu the next preceding reign and geueratiou undor Philistine servitude that it is related that "there wau no smith found throughout the hind of Israel, but all the Israelites went down to tho Philistines to sharpen every mau his share, und his coulter, and his axe aud mattock."' Bat in David's reign the whole country seems to haye been re? solved iuto one grout putout farm, under tho combined superintendence of the "twelve," a unmber so familiar and pro? minent iu the national annals. If .the first agricultural societies had not the appendages of a cattle show, und the annual uutumnal fuir which pertain? to societies of modern times, its instructor, o's briefly sketched in the sacred history, .had all the important elements obtained by those of the present day, ufter a laps?! of 3,000 years. Immediately succeeding the account of David's agricultural society, which appears to have been among the first acts of his life in farming, is his farewell address. The address was delivered to the vast assembly composed of princes, various officers, civil, religious aud mili? tary, instituted and appointed by his classifying hand, and a great concourse of people. The occasion was in striking contrast to his flights in earlier days from cave to cave. Tho war clouds that huug dark, lowering and heavy, were uow all dissipated, and his unclouded Betting sun abone with softened but muguiticeut splendor, in that it was the birtb-duy of agricultural societies, the offspring of peace. At Raleigh, on Wednesday, Judge Bond seuteueed another batch of the so called Ku Klux. For the raid upou Aaron Biggerstaff, Wm. 0. Depriest was seutencod to two years' imprisonment and $100 hue; Taylor Carson, tined $50; Olin Carson, fined 850; Jasun Withe row and Julius Fortune, judgment sus peuded; Leander Toms, $1 hue and one years' imprisonment; Amos Owens, judgment suspended, having been sen? tenced for participation in the Justice mid; Duniel Furtuue, six months' im? prisonment; Samuel Biggerstaff, judg? ment s ti speti dec!; Alfred Biggerstaff, one years'imprisonment ; Barton Biggarstuff, two years' imprisonment; Lawson Teal, two years' imprisonment; James Swoo zoy, two years' imprisonment; Adolphus Depriest, judgment suspended; Thomas Fortune, six months' imprisuument; Beuj, Fortune, judgment suspended.

TYRAN NT.-We clip from the Southern Home the following account of how citi? zens of North Carolina are dragged from their homes and ' carried hundreds of miles to be tried before a United States Judge for alleged violations of the in? famous Ku Klux laws: A SHAMEFUL- SIQHT.- On the 9th in? stant, ninety quiet, respectable farmers of Rutherford, Cleveland and Lincoln Oounties were marched through our streetB by the lowest aud vilest of dirty United States marshals, and placed ou the Raleigh train to attend the United States Court. Somu of the prisoners were carrying their bed-clothea ?trapped on their backs, because too poor to pay hotel bills; some were accompanied by their wives; some had their friends and neighbors, Seo. The entire orowd amounted to 200 persona, all torn from their homes to be dragged 300 miles to attend a court, winch, bot for malice, might have been held within a few miles of the homes of the prisoners, (ian;, s of negroes followed thu prisoners to tho depot, jeering, taunting and laughing ut thom.

What a foul and blackened picture! What a commentary ou tho slogan, "Let us have peace," these seoucs arel The Uieh moud Enquirer,? in an able editorial, compares the situation to that in lang? land, when the brutal Judge Jeffreys condemned mea to death by tho scores The historian, writing of those days, re? marks thal Jeffreys "tdiowed the people that the rigors of Ibo law might equal, if not exceed, the ravings of military tyranny." Judge lioud seems deter? mined to exemplify to tho people of North Carolina that tho remark is fully true, aud lead them to think that be? tween military courts martial and United States Courts, there is but little choice. IA uyusta Constitutionalist. LAW NORTH AND SOUTH.-Tko New York Times prints the very extraordinary story that there aro 16,000 men in New York aud Brooklyn banded together and bound by oath to servo as election "re? peaters," according to the direction of their chiefs. Other sensational details are given. This organization, if it exist, comes within the direct terms of the charge delivered by Judge Bond, of the United States Circuit Court, lo the jury in tho cases of tho unfortunates who have fallen tinder Government prosecu? tion in North Carolina. The Judge charged, in terms, that any organization of this nature was a conspiracy tindei tho Ku Klux Act of Congress, every member of whiob was responsible for auy act of political outrage committed by any other member. According to this ruling and the Times' story, 15.000 men in New York aro subject to flue varying from $500 to S"),0U0 and impri? sonment from two t<i live years, ut the hands of the United States Marshal aud Judges. In order to nuderstand what hus beeu done in North Carolins, it ?H necessary to suppose these New Yorkers arrested upon irresponsible accusations, carried wholesale to Suboharie County, tried b?fure ? jufy picked, by the Mar? shal in Counties where political feeling is bitterest, and in such a way that the whole of them shall be partisan Repub? licans. It is not easy eveu to fancy Mich proceedings in New York; but such, and far worse, ure those winch have been conduated iu North Carolina. "South Carolina papers assert that there is not a dollar iu the State Trea? sury. All the result of Radical robbery." [Democratic Exchange. "The committee of seventy in Now York is endeavoring to raise money to pay tho city laborers. All the result of Democratic dishonesty." [Natior.nl Hepubltcan. Which seems to utnuuut to tit for tat.

If the people would not be plundered either hy Stute und muni? cipal pick-pockets or national highway? men, they should not oouteut themselves with passing resolutions deuouuoing fraud and aorruptiou, but. go to the polls and elect ouly responsible and honest men to ottice, irrespective of party.

Means, of Fairfield Com - ty, South Carolina, says that the July crop is about all tbat is made in South Carolina, except one or two Counties that may be doiqg well. Tho July drought, ho says, struck them at the most critical time on account of the crop. Old plauters Ray it has been tho worst season ever kuown. The drought was in July, as stated, aud when the rain did como in August it stimulated another growth that, wilt not mature, and rotB all cotton that is open. An old plauter who hus passed through thu South remarked that with the exception of one or two patches iu Edgefield aud Abbeville, S. C., the crop is very poor.

The evidence looks aa though un im? mense fraud hatl been perfected, and parties implicated will be usked to rise and explain. Tbe Richmond (Va.) Stoic Journal (Republican organ) understands un order tins been issued from tho internal reve? nue, and will issue soon from tbe other departments of the Federal Govern? ment, requiring those holding Federal commissions to resign in caso they ac? cept nominations for State offices.
