C )LUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday morning, November 1 1871. That " tnmtr." The Union, iu notioing our article of xue 28th, studiously avoids tba main is? sue made therein, and, with most pitia? ble weakness, brings the New York 7Vi buKti to tho roaotie. Admitting that mar tial iaw has not beeu formally proclaimed ?n South Carolina, will the Union deny that nine Counties of thu Stato arc snb jected to military domination? Aro any arrests being madu without tho aid of the Federal military? Ia there not a reign of terror just as complete, and is not the military just as supreme, ao far as the arrest and imprisonment of citi? zens, and the denial of tho right of ba? jeas corpus, is concerned, us if martial law had been declared a dozen times iver? These aro our inquiries, und wc lo not iutend to ullow thc Union to dodge them. It will not avail the Union tu say Lout tho "strong arm" of South Carolina has been palsied by the Ku Klux, or the Iu rieiblo Empire, or uuy otkur Radical hobgoblins, with the Radical party in possession of the Stato Government, backed by 30,000 majority. The Union ian never make tho world believe that. Its co-conspirators against American li? berty may affect to believe it; but there is another cause for tho imbecility of tho State Government, which the Union Jtnderstuuds as well as we do but; it has not, like its Cassius, tho New York Tri? bune, the indepeudeuce uud thu manli? ness to admit it. The Union, bo it re? membered, belongs to tho parti/, and, ;Tor all we know, may be dependent fur .ts pap upon the supremacy of its party, vhether attained aud maintained ho? nestly or dishonestly. Its mouth is . closed to any corruptions or shoit-coni :.ugs or villainies of its party here in South Carolina, but it finds great une .k.iou in firing ita terrible arrows at Tam? many. That diversion is rather trans? parent, and very unnecessary, inasmuch as the Democrats themselves, headed by that pure and distinguished luwycr uud statesman, Mr. Chas. O'Conor, aro purg? ing the Democratic party of New York of its corruptions. The Union will fiud ample material in its own party nearer aome. Wo call upou thc Union to answer like ?. man who is not dependent upou thu patronage of the State Government for .ts existence, ii it over heard, or does it .y.uow, of any corruptions or crimes, or frauds or official dishonesty, on tho part the Government of this State, either In whole or in part? Has it ever hoard, >r<2ocs it know, of the existeueo of any "Union Leagues," or other secret organi? sations besides tho "Ku Klux," "Invisi? ble Empires," ?fcc? Hus it ever heard >f any incendiary fires having beeu com? mitted by members of tho Uniou Xjcagues? And hus it ever, and if so, .vhen aud where, bas it raised its voice ..gainst these corruptions, frauds, crimes, Union Leagues and other secret Radical jrgunizutious? Answer directly, and do jot beat about tho bush, by venting your virtnous indignation against thc Ku Klux. Do not hope to escapo by charging ni with upholding Ku Kluxism, "because that is UOL lt oe, uud, besides, in cot tho point. Answer our questions; ind after that, we will discuss whether .we have upheld the Ku Klux or any other secret organization, und whether 'jr not we have raised our voico and in - Succcc against them all. Will tho Uniou have the manhood, und thc courage, and tho indopenduueo, and patriotism to uid as in ferreting out and bringing to shanie and punishment those State officials who liave committed crimes enough against tho peoplo of this State to merit otit Jawry? Io this regard we commend to it thecoursoof tho New York Tribune, and refer it to some of the earlier uumbeis o? that paper, whero tho philosopher poors hotshot iuto tho "thievingcarpet "baggers of the South." These numbers, however, may have escaped thu attention ot the Union, and if BO, WO will seo that it is provided with them as sample copies, and request that it make copious extracts from sumo of thu philosopher's reflections upon this interesting subject of "thieving carpet-baggers" for tho benefit of its nu morons (?) readers. Lot us hero say, for the information of Lite Union and oo-conaphalors, that social evils cuuiiot bo corrected iu u republican govornmuut by the bayonet. Public opi? nion is tho grout arbiter of such tines tiouo, aud whenever social disorders ex? ist thurc ia u cause, and the evil will not ?o cured until tho cause is removed. Whatever of disorder or violence, or Ku Kluxism, or whatever 3011 may choose to call it, Unit has prevailed in uny purl of South Carolina, hus bad u cause for it ; aud that cause is thu inadequacy of I he ?aws, tho imbecility in their execution, and tho consequent insecurity which we ??ave all felt iu consequence. Violence muy bu suppressed by tho bayonet for n timo, but just HO curtain UH effi*ct.follows a ouuBO, so sure will it breakout again, to punish those who do violence to the bouor, tho peace, happiness aud prospe? rity of tho Stuto. Let the Union mnrk these words, and ranko all it oun out of thom. A -Sluirpe" Point tVrll Taken. Ono Gen. Sharpo, of New York city, said, recently, in reforence to Tweed's arrest, "this is but u prelimiuury step towurd a still greater movement of tho entire State, which will determine that the scoundrel shall meet with justice uud go to tho penitentiary; for wu uro re? solved that tho robbers shall no longer walk the earth uuitnprisuncd or un? hanged." What would Gen. Sharpe say for South Carolina? A Point To Itt mc m brr. We observe that the grunt lawyer, Chnrles O'Conor, of New York, in some remarks in rofereuce lo the snit vs Tweed, uuuuuuuri] the following leg?! prinoiplo. Referring to Tweed, he suid: "There can be no doubt that the State can make bim responsible;us it is a well known fact that the head of a systematic organization for fraudulent purposes can be made liable for the whole amount." Wo hopo to seo this point made to tell in this Slate. -? # ? ?. Chicago is all right; thu papers lhere have resumed their old rontiuo of call? ing each other hard names. Tho Times says: "It is no time tor the Chiungo Tribune to lend itself or sell itself (it appears to bo doing oue or tho other) to u specu? lating scheme in Hyde Park lands, etc." Wo shall hear of divorces nest. The annexed oirculur hus been receiv? ed ut this ofliue, und we lay it boforo our readers. Au iuvitatiou bas been extend? ed to tho excursionists to diverge from their intend? d route ut Columbia, and visit tho Counties of Jackson und Macon, N. C., passing by Andersou, Walhalla and Clayton, and goicgover the route of the Blue Ridge Railroad, lu case this invitation is accepted, wo think it thc duty of our people to welcome these ex? cursionists, aud ?eck to afford them evory facility for the examination of tho c nintry this side of the mountuins. It is the purpose of the colonists to engage in agriculture, stock raising and manu? facturing. Wo uppeud tho circular : An excursion train will leave Indiana poliB, ludiaua, October 25, 1871, ut noon, tor Greensboro, North Carolina, uno will pass through Louisville, Ky., Nashville and Chattanooga, Tenn., Atlanta, Ci t., Columbia, S.

A large number of tho party will gu Westward Irotn Greensboro to look ut tho country iu Buucombo, Haywood, Jackson and Macon Cou ut les, N. 0 , with tho intention to form a colo? ny, to be co-operative us far as neccseaiy for the general wei turo; and that euch person shuli be protected aud cared for in their individual interests. It is the iuteution to select und purchase ?U.?0U acres of land, more or less, in tho very best locution that can be found, consider? ing the healthfulness of tho locution, the fertility of thu soil, ita adaptation to tho production of corn, wheat und other grams, tobacco, hops, vegetables, fruits, grapes and berries ot nearly all kinds; to the abundance of dollgh Uni, pure spring water, and water power; to tl e adaptation of tim climate und other in - cessaries, to make it one of the bus) places on thiii continent for raising liorses, mules, cattle, sheep, hogs ami fowls in un menso quant ii les, ut very small expense in feeding; with aclimate exhilarating, delightful anti unquestion? ably heavy; limber plenty, of good qua? lity and large; minerals abundant and of immense value; lands nt low price, lind convenient us possible to one or more lines of railroad in course of construc? tion sud certain to bu completed All such things will bu sought tor and duly Considered in selecting a location lor the colouy, and wo want no poison m the culnny who does nut come well recom? mended for honesty, industry, persever? ance, temperance uud uprightness of character.

SOUTH CAUOLINA SECUKITIEH IN* NEW Yo UK -The New York //mifc/'jtiliiuucjul review, of Saturday hist, says: Thu new Soul h Cand?nas again wont off quite suddenly, but thu decline brought buyers and il re action. Thu market for the Soul h Carolinas seems in process of manipulation to allow the "shorts" li> cover, and heie-e, doubtless, tho origin of a rum r curri ut today thal a new 7 per cent, loan had m ide ns appearance. Tho Slate obligations nie ?I per cents, fi pi r cuts and <> per cent-, A 7 percent, bond, even it covertly is Htlod, would bo valueless in this iniiikut, as ll Would not he "a good di li very," nc I'ordiug tu the rules of lite S'ock Kv change, and no banker or broker in tho country would i deal in it security thus debarred from negotiation. How WARKANTS MAT BE BEI.YEO IN TUL: KLAN lt KU ION.-Ali bough not in? cluded among the Counties of Sontb Carolina in which President Grant has seen ?t to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, Wi?liamsburg bas nevertheless beeu regarded us a place where the Radi? cals might obtain materials for a sensa? tion. The temper of the people, and their cheerful compliance with all legal authority, bus been strikingly exhibited in a late case at Leesville. The cironm- j Stances are these: On Monday, tho 23d nit., tho TJuitcd States Commissioner, John !'\ Porteus, E-nj , went to Ktugstree, uud from that place issued wurrautH lor the arrest of nine respectable residents of the town ol Leesville, against whom ufliduvita tool? ing to show their Ku Kluxiuu tendencies had been lodged. Leesville ia fully eighteen miles distant from Kingslreu, but tho Deputy United States Marshal, trusting muru to his own powers of observation than wild rumors afloat, started alone for the former place with tho wurrauts in bia pocket, being nuuc oompanied even by a corporal's guard. This single officer liuving found the par? ties, arrested the whole niue iu succes? sion by showing his warrants, am) then proceeded lo arrest ibu necessary wi" uesseu. Tho latter were twenty-two ii, number, mid the mundial, with Ins thir? ty-one prisoners, took up the march lor Kingstree, where ho arri voil safe with his numerous charge. The whole week was spent by tho commissioner in exa? mining into the ease; the principal charge against, tb" prisoners being the overt act of Ku Klux in the murder of Suigletary, tim post ma..ter at Leesville, in July last. Two of thu niue, against whom there was n faint shadow td evi? dence, were bound over trial. Against thu rest, no evidence could be found, uud they were discharged. The instance is worthy of note. In Kingstree, "the Iliad; Hiders" hold absolute sway, according to the Radical allega'ions, and yet a single lillicur of the law arrests thirty-one persons and brings them over fifteen miles without any guard or other assistance, ll* this be Ku Kluxism, verily the disease takes a mihi form in Williamsburg.

NATIONAL THANK.SI.IVINO DAY.-Amid the manifold duties of waging war on ?South Carolina mid receiving presents, Grunt has found time to issue the fol? lowing proclamation : 'I he process ol the seusous bas again enabled the husbandman to garner the fruits of successful toil.

Within tho past yeur we have in tho main been free from ills which else where have uillictcd our kind.

A letter from Adjutant-General Gor? men, of the Nortli Carolina militia, given a history of thu unsuccessful campaign against tho negro banditti in Robeson County, who have so long defied both the State aud national authorities. lie also gives u description of the country in which tho outlaws live, their personnel aud modo of life. The whole race is of mixed origin, and is moro or less con nected hy blood, and some fivo or six family names constitute tho majority of the iuhubituuts, tho Lowreys, tho Oxcu dioes and Chaviscs being tho largest in number. It is asserted that nearly thu whole community is in active sym? pathy with tho outlaws, many through I fear, others through prejudice, aud the remainder from ties of relationship Their predatory and lawless operations aro well systematized, und in their fotsys they are assisted by the desolate and utmost impassable condition of the swamp uud forest land. Finding thal ho could not make headway against them, and not ticing ubi? to arouse the I white citizuus from their despondent apathy and secure their co-operation, : (forman finally arranged an interview 1 with the Lowreys, and met them, by j agreement, lu a swamp. They said that I ' they were tired of their present, niatmer ' 1 ol life, uud promised to leave tho Uuitud j Slates if a free pardon was giveu them, i : Gorman assured them that they would j . have u fuir trial aud good counsel at court, bul they would not surrender, j I They say that they will defend them-| j selves to the bitter end.
