C OLUMB?Ai S. C. Li_M'. _adi ' . -!-Lil-~" Saturday Morning, October 28.1871; ' ' Martial daw* The Union declares, in Ha. issue nf yesterday, that "marti-U : law" has not been proclaimed in South Carolina, and berates, tin ita puny woy, the Demo eratic prega for not having perceived it. Wonderful saguoityl Martial law not proclaimed in South Carolina, ,when absoluto military domination has created terrorism in nine Counties of the Statel when that very foremost bulwark of English and American liberty-the right of. the writ of habeas corpus-hos beon rndely and causelessly denied to pri? soners! when every essential, feature of martial Jaw is in full forced , Aud yet, this representative of "high moral ideas"-this month-piece of the "God and morality party"-quibbles and stickies about technicalities. No martial Jaw! Only the writ of habeas corpus sus? pended 1 lu it ashamed of the ontragos upon personal liberty being daily perpe? trated because of its slanderous misrep? resentations of the people of this State? Is it alarmed at the lamentable and de? plorable condition, to which it and its party, bave brought South Carolina, that it now .half, apologetically denies that martial law exists in the State? Why aro tho United States military, in these nine Counties, making arbitrary arrests? Wilt.t^a-Fnion aOBw.er? Will it also an awer%he?e'is the' once strong arm of tho H tute of South Carolina? Why has it nbt boon stretched out to ' protect the ?il j; lill ?i'Ll , .JJ.' ' ? victima ; of Ku Klaxtsm, if such there are?. ' [Ytfh? wi,ald? that power? Who has .had tho enactment and.execution of the laws of this-State, and who, with a ma? jority claimed to be 30,000, with every branch of. tho State Government-Exe? cutive, . legislative and judicial-in undisputed control since 18G8? Will the Union answer? Will it answer why the laws nave not been executed by Slate authority? Of course, it will not .it dare not. Beoauso its answer will >br&u? failure, shameful, disgraceful fail? ure, upon tho Radical Government of South Carolina; because in that answer it would have to admit that tho strong arm of the power of the Stat-, has been palsied by the rotten oorrapti UJ of its party; that the flagrant, open violations of law by those entrusted with its admi? nistration have mada' those laws a by? word, aud a mockery.. . What Ia Wanted. A prominent Radical of this city, of .the carpet-bag olass, was heard to say that be hoped that the United States .troops engaged in making arresta iu the up-conntry would bo fired into by aome .of the citizens. Then, said he, we would Qx thorn. Wo mention this suggestive incident, ia order-to show the animus of those, persons who have conspired, intrigued and worked for tho purpose ol bringing military arrests upon our peo? ple.- It becomes our people-to act with tho greatest prudence and discretion. We should deprecate any conduct calen lated to play into the hands of om unsorupaloos foes abroad and at home. It is not unmanly, at this time, to yield to power. Let our people everywhere exeroise a rare discretion. At the same timo, let ? them cultivate a spirit thal does not despair, and a faith that hopee for better times. What there is of righi and justice in their case will ultimatelj bo vindicated and will prevail. MINORITY BRPBBSBNTATTON.-Pennsyl? vania has decided to revise its constitu? tion, and both Democratic and Republi? can journals are already urging npot her people the adoption in some fora: of the theory of minority representation, The growth of this idea bas been re mark ably rapid daring the past twe years, and whenever n oonstitntiona convention is held minority representa lion is earnestly urged, even if it is no adopted. It is a measure which benefit! no party in particular, but which is in tended to render Democratiogovernmenl more thoroughly and traly Democratic. Suppose a band of Southerners, with -out name, without means, without ore .dit, and without oapooity. were to go tc Massachusetts and proolaim themselves, -all unknown as they would be, candi ?dotes for tho boat offloes in the State, what would-' tho people there think o! them? That they woro tho moat Impu dent persona that over lived, not ever excepting Ben. Butler. And yet th? carpet-baggers affeot to think the South ?ra'.peuple, inhospitable, and even efts loyal, for distrusting abd rejecting them, A NKW EsTEIuTBIBB .FOR ANDHBSON.

In a reoont issue of this paper, we charged that the editor .of the, Uflion.be? gan his career iii ?South CaroUna aa .the jo organizer of the Unioa League in this State.-,-This the Uni?n denies, and uses just such' terms in the'denial as low journalism employe. We give it the benefit of this denial, os we cannot, of our personal knowledge, ofter the Union's dening, jiffi?in^ to-j flip cqqt/ary. The Union expresses tho beliof that we wrote from/.imjperfeot knowledge/" '^?e J?*>v? this to say for the present: Tho allega? tion made was upon information given to UB by high authority, and upon our Booing in the public prints in the sum? mer of 1870 an item to the effect that one Li. O. Garpenter had been commis? sioned at Washington, and thence sent to re-organize the Union Leagues in South Carolina. Now, as Mr. Carpenter made his appearance soon after in South Carolina, and we heard of him as a Radical canvasser in various portions of the State, it was not unreasonable and unfair for as to conclude that the state? ment from Washington was trae. And especially so, since, until yesterday, we bad never seen any denial of the said statement. That is the ground1 upon which wo made tti? charge. ..But the Union now denies,it, and protests that "wo (the editor of the Union) have never, from the first day we set foot in the State np to th?'present, been inside a Union League meeting-never organized or re? organized such a 'longue, . and never passed through this State as the'grand head-centre and organizer of the Union Longue.'" Well, be it so. Our conclu? sion may have been wrong, and our in? formation inoorreot. We-, deemed our charge- correct, and expected the' Union to pride itself thereupon. Bat hus it come to thia, that .the .editor of tba Union, the Radical organ in South Caro? lina, repudiates as "a base calumny" the suggestion - that he was connected with tho Uniun Leagues in South Carolina? Thia is a healthy sign. Why, even we, from our "august and mighty" stand, commend the Union for its repudiation of an organization whioh has played tho misohief in Sooth Caro? lina, and whioh, in tho people's judg? ment, led, in a large measure, to what there has boen of "Ku Kluxism" in this State. The Union is improving. It will yet, "a better and a wiser" journal, rise some "morrow morn." At least doee the Union deserve credit for its disclaim? er of any connection with the Union League organization. We thought thal membership in the League was the ne? cessary evidence of loyalty to the Radi? cal party. If not so now, was it not sc once? But we take occasion to say tc the Union, that its style as well as poli? tics may be improved. The Hornet Greeley style of "yon lie, you villain you lie," is not worthy of imitation, Besides, that is not a favorite style ii these parts; and should the Union no1 be more careful in language and in iti application, it may lead some people t< think that it is so unmanly os to be am bitious of the ohanou to make pol?tica capital and a personal ?peculation oat o a claim ia the courts for damages for as? sault aud battery. Publio sentiment in England is ran aing with a somewhat violoat corren against the hereditary privileges olaimec by tho House of Lords, and for centn ries conceded as "tho thing" by whicl alone the political equities of Albioi could be regulated. Birmingham bu burst forth emphatically on the subject It demands a reform, the tenor of whicl is indicated by the circular of tho Bir mingham Liberal Association. That cir cular declares that "the time has arriv?e when tho hereditary principle, whicl I neither ensures wisdom in tho individua I nor patriotism in tho body, must bo ubo lished, when tbe second chamber mus be brought into union with tbe populai sympathies, and when tho undoabtet right of the Hoase of Commons to carr; the will of the people into action ove all opposing interests and authorilie most be secured." This may appear i radical proposition to English states men, bat it ie in consonance with tb convictions of the English people, am must, ore the lapBO of many years, b realized as an aotuality in politioal pro gross. Other steps must, of ooaree, b taken first, but in doe time the propose? reform of the House of Lords will b taken ap as a party measure and carrie to a sacoosaiul issac. HOME AGAIN.-Senator Y. J. P.

The following extract from a lady's letter will give some idea of the frightful condition of our people ia York County : YCIUCVJLJJE, S. C., October 28.1871. We are having dreadful times op here. There are now lodged in jail hore, from all parts of' tho Diatriot, above seventy men in close confinement--ten in a coll. Borne of the prisoners are negroes; and, for tho greater humiliation of our men, they are put in celia With them. - -AJI- ages ase < rapresento?U from tho b???dleas'youth bf oixteen to tba lioary headed, and many ol thora hnve not the bligh tent suspicion o? tho accusation against them, except tho general ono of being Ku ' Kink, or of aiding thom. There ia jreoson to believe that witnesses have been bribed *by< .Merrill, tho com? mandant of the post bore. And oman that would curso a defenceless prisoner, entirely in his power, as he does some of those, can do anything mean. But few men of the town have as yet been arrested, bat they say they haven't commenced here yot. AH innocence is no protection against arrest, the object of the Government being to persecute, a number of good people have left the country. A few weeks ago, a gentleman accused of being a Ku Klux told Merrill if he could have a fair trial be would stand bia, chance; but bo could not submit to bo tried by a packed, negro jury. Tbis gentleman has gone away, and. I hope is safe. Such tyranny makes our hearts burn with indignation our minute, and the next nobe at the thought of our utter powerlessness in- tho handf of our oppressors. "(JDless the Lord helps us, I see no hope of deliverance. Just think of thone poor mon, upon bart. suBpiciou, crowded in loathsome cells, not knowing how many duya or mouthe they rn ust stay there; aud when they art taken out, to be witnessed against bj aiiy' lying negro, bribsd. with Yankee money, abd incited hy Yankee bato, ami then to be sentenced to five years in i penitentiary by a,.negro jury aud t Radical Judge!

We would further say to Jame Fields, that his property will be Bold uu less the taxes for the year "1871" ur paid before November 15. WILLUM J. ETTER, Oity Treasurer. JOHN A. JACKSON, Chief of Police. The grand jury of Chester County composed of six whites and six negroot made a presentment embodying the ri suit of their investigation of the allege Ku Klux outrages there, and conclud as follows: .'We, tho grand jurors, upon our oath: are compelled to say, from the testimou which we have taken, and from oe knowledgo of the different parts of th County, that the allegations uoutainc in the proclamation of tho President t the United Staten are without fouudatiot and must be the result of falsehooi communicated to luna by persons emmi) regardless of good order and the peat of Bociety." -?-. ? The Washington Chronicle Btutes thi a clerical error caused Marion to be ii sorted in Grant's proclamation, insten of Union, which was the County intern ed. The Marion Crescent explains tl matter as follows: "Our explanation of the matter i that Union County owes its examptic to its name; and that the stupid Grai supposed the people of Uuion must, i course, ull be 'loyal;' that is Undies Ho had probably heard somewhere tin 'Marion' was the name of a 'rebol' gun ral; therefore, he included Marie County in tho proclamation; and if I hud known that this Comity wu s ali named niter a 'rebel' general, no donl Sumter Comity would also have boen ii eluded." A OOOD MOVE.-We learn there is movement on foot in Columbia to rai a fund for tho purpose of employing tl most eminent legal counsel in thu cou try to defend thuue persons arrested this Stato under the Ku Klus law. V most heartily endorse the movumou Nearly every one of our best Southe] lawyers are suspected by tho Feder und Stato Governments of either bulon ing to tho myntm band or so strong sympathizing with it that their efl or before tho court are almost pownrlei We are confident that every good citizi in every County in the State will endor the move and contribute to tho fun Keep tho ball moving. All we ask is fair trial, and, as American oitizeus, i demand that, aud nothing more. I Union Times. A Ku KLUX OUTIIAOE ON JAMBS IBLAN On Wednesday morning, a small color girl fell into James Island Creek. Tl water was about forty feet deep and t ebb tide ran very strong. A orowd negroes who were on the bank saw t accident, and ran to and fro screamii with terror. They made no attempt save the girl, bat u gentlemau fro Georgia, who was sovoral hundred y ar off, hastened to the spot, undressing he ran. He sprang into the water, au at the peril of bis own valuable lil saved the drowning girl from dent "Jem" Island may expect to be put ti der, .martial law, fop,.unless the \hab( corpus be anspeiuled, nome other po body n^ay( bp^ rescued from a wate rV^W* I til*}* " i'-i ? ?-:is Well says tho Now York Herald, which is friondly to General Grant: "No doubt there have boon deplorable outrages upon individuals by local banda, and probably the Civil.; Bights bill of Congress 'may have been violated in some oases. Na good citizen would at? tempt to juBtifv $j)?sB. .But such cri mes are not peculiar to South Carolina. Crimes as bad or more heinous aro com? mitted in all the States, and it would be easy enough to attribute them to Ku Ktux if it should suit the Federal Go . ve ru'm?e ht to do so for political ends. Indeed ?.(here might be no .limit to Fed? eral interference in the local affairs of : the H overol States, or even in this city of New York, if the proclamation of mar? tial law is to follow tho commission of similar crimea as those perpetrated in South Carolina. Should the clamor of a few partisan politicians be heeded more than tho principles of looa! self government, upon which tho fabric of our institution rests, there will be an end to civil liberty." The Herald well asks: "If it bo neces? sary to put a portion of South Carolina under martial law for crimes against in? dividuals, what should bo done in North Carolina, where a few bandits (tho Low? ry gang) havo successfully defied all the constituted authorities?" Again, bow true aro the following re? flections: "And will he not have some regard for the anomalous und trying situation of those poor Southerners who, though they erred, are a bravo and high-spirited pooplo of oar own race and blood? Can ho not see thu humiliating position they aro placed in, particularly lu South Ca? rolina, in being political hluves to their formor domestic slaves-au intelligent aud cultivated population put nuder the rule of ignorant and semi-savago negroes aud corrupt strangers, who huvo little or no interest ill the State, except to rob it? Uni ho un bowels of compassion for these unfortunate people of our own blood under Such trying circumstances? Wu think, us wo said before, that he means well; but he has been lcd, doubt? less, to extreme measures, which ure cruel to tho people of South Carolina and dangerous to civil liberty, by partir sau und narrow-minded politicians, who caro only for their own immediate inter? ests. Tho President should know that he can make more political capital and win the good will of the generous Ame? rican people, both North and South, moro by a kind aud liberal polioj to the .Southerners than by military coercion. 'Let us havo peace,' seems to be his fa? vorite motto, und ho oan have peace in tho South, us woll as good will every? where, by abandoning bis military idea of government, and making tho civil law supreme in every seotion of our com? mon country." JUSTICE.-The preliminary movement on the ring has commenced, byan action iu equity, to be proseouted by tho At? torney-General, acting through Charles O'Couor, against Tweed, Ingersoll nud Garvey. Tho arrest of these parties will immediately follow, and they will bo held to bail in an amount not less thou $2,000,0U0, to answer auy judgmwut against them for mouey which has been obtained by them fraudulently from tho city. . The papers in tho suit are vory lengthy, and aro accompanied by co? conuts which trace or follow largo sums of mouey into Tweed's possession. The proof is doomed by Charles O'Conor "to bo irrefragable." Daring to-morrow, ell the particulars, which aro astounding, will probably be disclosed. The bring? ing of tho action, and the arrest of Mr. Tweed on a civil process, in order to make him disgorge, are certain. It is not the intention to apply for his arrest to any of the judges in this city. The Attorney-General bas determined to make some other County than this the scene of his legal operations against Mr. Tweed. Albany County, it is expected, will be tho scene of legal strife. Judge Barnard's fidelity to reform has become weak-perhaps, for some days past, ex? tinct. It is, probably, this fact which makes the burean, of which Mr. O'Couor is the hoad, carry those cases outside of the County.-Neto York Netos.

It the first place, the instrument of punish ment, with its arrangement, was a crue device, and wo believe well calculated t< produc? deuth, in the oase of a prisoue of a weak disposition, or of relaxed sys tem. For this mode of punishment (ht Superintendent is responsible. As ti the application of tho discipline, o ! couran the parties engaged are responsi ble. Had this Penitentiary been in th? bands of the former Superintendent Major T. B. Lee, when this incident oo curred, what a howl would the Radica press have raised for what would havi been called an outrage upon a colorei mani But SB the Penitentiary authori ties areal! of the Radical party, wo shal hear very little of the affair.

IT is a story of the South, thirty years ago, and tho scene is laid entirely in that re? gion, in tho State of Alabama, so far as wo can judge by tho names cf towns and Coun? ties. It has all of the merits and few or none of the fault s of "Valerie Ay lmor." The young authoress, who is a lady of North Carolina, has, in her second effort, improved upon ber first, though that was a work of decided power, and received high commendation from critics or acknowledged skill. The Louisville Courier-Journal pronounced it the best socie? ty novel of the day, and the Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, in a published letter, pronounced it a work of rare merit. He said: "I was ex? ceedingly interested in it, and pleased with it. I consider it one of the best, indeed, the very beet, novel I havo met with in a long time.
