C OLUMBIA. S. C. Saturday Morning t November 4 1871. Tb? State Penitentiary-A ..director" Corrected . IQ the PHOHUX, pf Sunday last, ap? peared a ootnmuuioatkm .? from. "A Di? rector," in whioh he said, referring to Major Leo's administration aa Superin? tendent, "blind marches, (io whioh a convict was killed,) suspensions by the thumbs, with soon rgi ri gs, sh o wer-bathe, &oV, were almost of daily occur ron co." Weare authorized to state, that during Major Lee's administration ! no conviot was killed; that the shower-bath wan never resorted to; that there were no seoargings;. and that tho ' punishments used were 8aoh aa Gov. Orr prescribed, and eooh as were in use in the United States army. What, now, has a "A Di? rector" to say to this? He rashed into print to defend Superintendent S toll brand. .The nest time hs appears,, we suggest a little more oare in the compari? son! he institutes. In for ni ot lon for ttl? Vorth. We are pleased to say that the New York Herald, the World, and the Cin? cinnati Commercial, and perhaps other papers, have each a correspondent in Chis State to report the state of affairs in the up-country. We believe that the whole case will be fairly stated, and we eannot bat think that good will result from an impartial report that will reach the country. We see in the Herald, of Oolober 31, last, its correspondence from Newberry. The writer gives what he saw and heard; saya Newberry Oonnty is more quiet than Manhattan; that the "outrages" are gross misrepresentations, and suggests that President Grant has been imposed apon by the Loyal Leaguers. We shall expect to fiad things properly repre? sented by the correspondents. Let us Nhave tbe whole truth. That ?Appeal for Brena.** The Union, at least, is not likely to have to "appeal for bread," judging from tlie way in whioh it han already feathered its editorial nest. That we moy have' to beg, is possible; for whilst some got rioh, we admit that our ten? dency is to get poor. But this wo sug? gest to the Union, that we have an anec? dote to tell it. Tho illustrious Timothy Hurley, of Harley ville, onoo said to us, in a tone of great exultation: "Don't you see, eh, that the d-d oarpet-baggors aro building np Columbia?" "Yes," we replied, "bat let as ask you, WITH WHOSE HONKY?" And Tim. was ail out. He saw the point. As to the loDg and excited yigamarolo in the Union, whenever it ?eeks to interpret our sentiments, it is all nonsense. We have no criticism to make upon the business oonrso of our merchants. They will do as they please. Nor, let ns tell the Union, is it a matter that concerns ns. Wo stand unon nigh ground. We have not any pecuniary in? terest whatever in the business of the PHONTX. AU we desire is to see the proprietor daly sasta?aod ia the effort he ia making to represent the intelligent people of the State and to develop the interests of this oity and the Stute at large. So much for basiuess. ?Thc State Printing." We publish the card of Messrs. J. Woodruff and A. O. Jones, which will be seen elsewhere. The ?tatemen t made may do very well, as far aa it goes; but we ask to be excused from agreeing with the Clerk of the Sonnte and tbe Clerk of ?.hn House, that they have given the only material matter ia reference to the ex? penditures for the State printing, in whioh the public aro interested. There are a number of pertinent questions left noao8wered. Our readers will observe that the statement is denied that about $230,000 have been paid out since tho last Legislature on nccouut of tho public printing. We have this to say, that the information came to us from a gentle? man who got it from a high official source. Since reading tho card of Messrs. Woodruff and Jones, wo bavo in? quired into the matter, and conclude that on the little word "since" baugs much. Is it, Messrs. Woodruff and Tones, that the $230,000 includes the printing of the last Legislature? Is it not at least true, that from the beginning of the last session of tho Logisloturo to the present time, about $230,000 have beoa paid out on aocouot of Stato print? ing? And are there not claims still pending to swell tho enormous amount of $230,000, just for printing? But what about the othor inquiries? Ouly ono count in the indictment bns been mot, and that only modiQos tho point made by us. Another point. Wo uotico that tho sum of $70,000 is reported puid to newspapers. Did not about $35,000 go to the three Radical newspapers, mid tho balance to about twenty Democratic newspapers? ... i: ?i t-rfm.M-o'iuripu' ^- r.-' ' " -^ 's'"v*'^ Oar iuwHi i , The CT/*ton bringa forward a note from '?Lewis Merrill, Major and Brevet Colo? nel United States Army," denying that three ladies bad been \ wrested io York, and farther stating that thia statement, like nearly all he has noticed in the FHCBNIX in regard to matters in York County, ia "an unmitigated falsehood, without even a oolor of truth in it." In reply, we havd to say that we have pub? lished nothing bat what came to us on the highest authority-authority whiob, to na, is fully aa high as Major Merrill. With us journalism Bhall be as truthful as we oan make it. If ladies have not been arrested in York, we are glad of it, and are pleased to conclude that Major ?x?fF?il repudiates war upon women. The Union says ' ie FHCENDC and Charles-; ton Ne m s deny the existence of suoh an organization-referring to the "Ku Klux." The News can speak for itself. "The hand of Douglas is bis owo." We have believed in the existence of both the Ku Klux and Loyal League organiza? tions. We believe, farther, that the Union may, with eminent propriety, be called the great grand-father of Ku Kluxism. The editor denies that he came to South Carolina to re-organize the Leagues of Sooth Carolina, and re? pudiates all connection whatever with them. We ask: Did you not oome on a politioal mission? Dare you tell under what auspices yon came to South Caroli? na, in the summer of 1870? Dare yoa answer whether you have or have not been a member of the Loyal League? What were your relations, in a party seuBe, with Mr. A. S. Wallace, M. C.? Those "Solid Reasons." The Union is anxious to put off State mattera as long as possible. It asks us to meet the city matters first. It will find us fully prepared at all points. It talks about our not makiog specific charges, and calls for our "solid reasons" for tho belief expressed that there have been frauds and collusions in connection with oar city affairs. We refer it to thoBO articles we have already written on the subject-which articles the Union itself called "hot shot." Why, our ar li? ?les did not only give "solid reasons" and involve "speoifio charges," but, ic tho opinion of many, they did more they amounted to demonstration of guilt See the oorrespondence elsewhere pub lished. To the questions put by us nine-tenths of the community would ni doubt say "aye, aye." The Union tr.oei to the defence of the City Council. Tin Council may well say, "Save us fron our friend." Shall we have the investi galion now? ? ? ? ? OFFICE OF THE PHONIX, COLUMBIA, O. C., November 3. 1871. Messrs. B. C. Shiver, Edward Hope, J C. Seegers, Committee of the Board o Trade. GENTLEMEN: The Union nowspuper, i: its issue of yesterday, says: "Now we undertake to say thia mud that ii the FHUSNLX will givo lo tho pul lio those 'solid reasons,', which it hos fe behoving that 'frauds and collusion) exist in the City Council, we believe tb Mayor will not be long in ordering a investigation, and when ordered, th City Attorney will not be slow in pros? outing it." You, gentlemen, have no doubt rca tho series of articles published in th editorial columns of the PnaiNrx, in r< lotion to our city affairs. Wo rospec fully ask you, have we not given "soli reasons" for the belief expressed tin "frauds nud collusions" exist, both i aud out of the City Council of Columbii Have not our charges been "specific enough to cull for investigation ut tl bands of the Council? Wo ask, further, have you been pr< perly facilitated in your effort to get tl data upon which to pursue tho iovestigi tion ordered by tho Columbia Board < Trade? Very respectfully yours, TUE SPECIAL. EDITO? OF THE PHOENIX. COLUMBIA, S. C., November 3, 1871. The Special Editor of thc Phosnix, Colin bia, S. C. SLR: Your communication of this dr to hand, aud we beg to reply, in goner terms, that we think that you huvo 1 your articles placed the City Council i that position that should require and d mani! impartial investigation of their r cent actions; and further to say, that v do not regard tho facilities offered oi committee for investigation sjich ? would lead to exoneration-certainly n such as a similar committee hud in Ne York city.

EDITOB PucHNrx: Pursuant to adjourn? ment of a railroad meeting, held at Greenwood, S. G., on the 7th of Octo? ber, it again oonvened in Waller's Hall on this, first of November. In the ab? sence of Mr. W. P. MoKellar, Chairman, Mr. A. M. Aiken was called to the Chair and B. P. Boozer requested to sot as Se? cretary. After calling the house to order, the proceedings ' of the last meeting were read, andi upon motion, were adopted. By motion of Dr. E. B Calhonn, a re? port from the committee, of which Mr. L. D. Merriman was chairman, was called for, and the following submitted: Whereas the committee was commis? sioned by a large aud enthusiastic body of citizens to lay open some of the num? berless reciprocal advantages attending, and consequent upon, the construction ?uf a railroad from Greenwood to Au? gusta, Ga. : By reference to the late sur? veys of Counties into townships, it will be observed that the ronte of the pro? posed road, eta Wbito Hall, Dom's alines and Fury's Ferry to Augusta, in the*opinion of thecommittee, commands more than ordinary advantages. We will report, also, that over this dis? tance not a single rivulet is crossed, and but three hills of any consequence to surmount. Not to be irreverant, we re? mark vhat the kind Creator seems to have designed this ridge for a railroad, and surely, therefore, the citizens of Augusta and Greenwood, together with everybody along the route, will under take when so much has been freely given, and naught but euergy required. Again we would call attention to the fact, that many miles of this road can be built with but a farthing's expeuse. The topography of the country guuranteea this assertion; then, why delay? Pecuniarily considered, this route would open a rioh belt of country, une? qualled in the State. lu foot, we believe the property holders on this route are prospering more rapidly than anywhere else in the State. Again, this route steers clear of any competition, and embraces a scope of country, on either side, from thirty to fifty miles, without auy railroad facili ties. Indulge us in other observations, viz: When this road is finished to Green? wood, then the people of Laurens will have an outlet for their produce, without being foroed to sell in the upper markets, or ship the Barn? over the Greenville and Columbia Bailroad. If the people from Greenwood to Laurens will bestir themselves as ought to become them, an extension of thc road to Laurens aud Spartanburg would carry a market to every door, and put life and money in a buried country and empty pockets. This would oonuect Au? gusta with the Air Line Boad, and give the traveling public the ndvautages of i more pleasant and Uss expensive rout? North. We assert, without fear of con tradiotion, that a road from Spartanburg through Laurens, by way of Greenwooc to Augusta, would realize a more baud some profit on the money invested, that any other offer of speculation. Finally, so far as the people of Abbe ville und Edgefield are concerned, wi intend to have a railroud from Green wood to Augusta, and will proceed a once to the work. We prefer an exten sion of the road to the points mentioned und will Bubsoribe liberally for said pur pose; consequently, insist upon a cain consideration and u hearty co-operutiot by uil interested. Therefore, we, th' committee, beg moro time for furthe consideration, that an opportunity ma; be given to interview Augusta upon th subject, and digest more substantial! other plans now in view. The commit tee is in possession of facts of an enoou rsging nature, which al present canna he divulged for prudential reasons. A! of which is respectfully submitted, L. D. MERRIMAN, Chairm au. On motion of Mr. James Bailey, Sr. the report of thocommittee was adopted and the meeting unanimously pledge its support in favor of the undertaking Mr. Win. Parks, of Edgefield, at dressed thu mooting, speaking favo nib! of tho enthusiasm ulong tho route, nn the imminent want ol snell au cutci prise. Dr. Jos. Jennings, being present, wu called upon, Slid displayed much uhilit in all that bo said, and mtiuifested niue energy upon tho subject of a ruilron from Augusta to Spartanburg. Dr. N. W. Merriwother, of Edgefielt ever cautious in all that ho undertakei evinced the strongest sj mpuihy in favc of tho said road, and behoved that h tho united action of Augusta, Edgufiel and Abbeville, the enterprise would bo success. Our young frieud, Mr. J. D. Tolber of Edgefiold, riveted the attention of tl audience throughout his speech, nm Demosthenes like, plead action! actioi Also, was the medium through which committee was appointed to petition tl uext Legislature for a churtor for sui road. Capt. L. H. Bykard, of Abbovill moved that a committee of six, consis mg of General M. C. Butler, Mr. J. I Tolbert, Dr. N. W. Mnrriwother, M W. H. Whitlock, Wm. K. Blake, Esq and A. M. Aiken, Esq , be appointed i confur with the accredited parties to tl proposed railroad convention, to bu hoi in Columbia, on tho 10th instant. Ga motion of Mr. L. D. Merriman, i Greenwood, Geo. M. C.

A correspondent of tho Union Times writes: Mu. EDITOR: Poor John Dawkins, a colored mau, was arrested here in Union, by the Uuited States Marshals, and car? ried away to Columbia. John thonght be was free, and, without money and without price, voted the Democratic ticket; aud because of that, ho is arrested us a Ku Klux and carried to Columbia to be tried. We almost know, from good\ evidences surrounding, that John was not a Ku Klux, but this makes no differ? ence to you, John-tho laws of the United States are supreme. A poor shoe-maker, dragged from his family, who ure almost destitute. Had you the money to pay heavy fees to prove your innocence, you would get free from this, but, like the balance of the South, you have no money and no reputation. The dead spirits of oppressed Poland and Ireland in their "rappings" can only sympathize with you. - ^ . ? MARTIAL LAW IN TEXAS.-A despatch from Grnesbeck.

The Houston Age gives additional information, lt says : "Tho proclamation of martial law in Limestone Conuty is based upon testi? mony uf W. lt.

In a few minutes tho report of a pistol waa heard and tho mau fell on the floor, shot I brough tho head. Tho ball entered tho right cheek and ranged upward, inflict? ing a mortal wound. It was at first thought that lie bad attempted to com? mit suicide, but a gnutb miiu who suw tho occurrence ia positive that it was tho result ol au accident.

Tho Brooklyn presents man new advantages in life insurance, prom neut among which are the following Its tables of premiums are from five t sovon por cent, less than other compi nies; the surrendor value of each polic is oudoraed on the same, for each thoi sand dollars value of insurance, afti every declaration of dividend; and n discrimination is made in thu classifici tion of risks, either in tho North, Soutl East or West-a feat uro which ia far i advance of tho system carried out I other Northern companies-as tl Brooklyn takes risks only in notorious! healthy sections of tho country.
