Ttlteraphlc?American matters. New York, September 5.?A letter] from Nashville, Teun , published in the Herald, gives an account of an in tsrview with Gov. Brown, concerning Southern disturbances, and particu? larly those in Tennessee. He attri? butes the troubles wholly to the agita? tion of tbe Civil Rights Bill, before which, masked tnaruuders there were unheard of. One great provocatiou oi the present troubles was the insulting, and inflammatory domands of leading negroes in a convention last April, de? claring their light to marry white wo? men, und to Bund tbeir children to' school with the whites, even if they! bad to rido through blood. This in? censed the whites, and the Civil Rights' Bill soon became a test for office; tbe whites would not nominato or elect a man who favorel it. Then, throats were made, ou'min*ting >n the! preiont outrages. Goveruor Brown then gave the details of a negro plot to' bum an adjacent village and kill tbel residents, which was frustrated, and the ring-leaders arresetd. Several of the leaders were lynohed, bat the lynohers will bo punished. He antioi pates no more trouble, unless the ne froes are incited to evil by bnd whiten, [o related several ouses of terrible ne? gro outrages on white women, which helped to iooite the white populace. Brownsville, Texas. September 4 Information has just reached here that the port of Brazos Santiago, sit uted on i an inland of that name thirty miles dis? tant from this oity, is entirely sub merged. The houses, which are built of wood, are all floating off The in-| habitants, who number about fifty i souls, have tukeu to open boats and their whereabouts is unkuown. As! the vast volume uf water lying between Padre Island aud the main laud finds j an outlet at Brazos, through the bur l bor of whioh, duriug a flood, it flows with irresistible force, fears are enter? tained that they have been carried out over the bar to sea. Washington, September 5.?Sena-' tor Patterson, of South Carolina, pub-' lishes in the Nalioiial Republican this morning, a long card in reply to a re? cent publication of the Board of Trade of Columbia, which has been tele 'graphed over tlin country. Seuator !Patterson says: "la it uot right that the loyal people of the North should know that this same Board of Trade passed .resolutions during the Ku Klux reign iu South Carolina, that no violence bud ocourred, aud that life and property were perfectly safe? Every member is a Democrat, and many of them sympathized with the Ku Klux. The world knows whether they were good authority then, and the sequel will prove whether they are au? thority now as to tho condition of South Carolina. No doubt the Board of Trade of Charleston will puss simi? lar resolutions, as it is composed of similar material. The News and Cou? rier, Democratic, of Charleston, S. C, will give a similar certificate; the rifle olubs will do the same; aud here let me add, thut over 100 rifle clubs havo been organized during the political cam? paign, armed with Winchester rifles, and every member is a white Demo ?rat, and very many are Iva Klux, aud not one of these compauies carries the United States flag on parade. Every Ku Klux Klan in the State will testily to the good order prevailing now. I do not say that every Democrat in South Carolina is a Ku Klux, but I do 'say that evory Ku Klux was a Demo erat. Judge Thompson Cooke, of the .Eighth Circuit, also protests against the use of tho troops to preserve or? der. True, he was elected as a Repub? lican, but Judge Thomas, of the Sixth Circuit, who was elected us a Republi? can iu 1871, announced from the bench in York Couuty that there was no vio tenets iu that Couuty, aud that life and property wero very safe. The grand jary of tho Conntj' reported the same, and yet iu tho fall of ib.it year it was proveu before the United States Court that over ."MM) had been killed and over 2,000 whipped because thev were Re? publicans, before and after Judgt Thomas so declared and the grand jury so reporled. Three of that same grand jury were indicted as Kil Klux, aud ono is now in the Albauy peni? tentiary, serving out his term for the crirao of Ku Kinsing." In conclusion, bo says: 'Tarn acting in the interest of peace uud order. The evil-doers iu South Carolina have a wholesome re? spect for United States troops, and when it is known thut the Government is iu earnest, the lawless bauds will take notice uud conduct themselves ac Icordiugly. I have not usked the Pro sideut to neud troops into South Caro? lina, but have only asked that the troops already there shall be used for public peuce and for the protection of Americau citizens, without regard to race or color, aud that uli men shall be held harmless in the exercise of the elective franchise."
