J?? ^ .w? fS ?? -**4 x ,T. =?za Judge Hogr'e Libel on the St*t* j/r. /Merer?In your paper of Sunday tunfoiog hut I see an estreat frnaa tha '.V??btogtnn ChrrtntV?, purporting In bo a statement of Ju lg? Hugo to tho 8?cretarv of Wnr aa to tho condition of political affair* in South Carolina. It t* scarcely credible Hint a Judge of the Supreme Court of South Carolina would have made snclf a statement to the War Department ?atrociously false in avory particular. For the honor of tha judiciary of South Carolina, which ha* hitherto boon* distinguished for its truth and parity, it la to he hoped that tha whole statement i? a fabrication of thn Ckrntt* trie, and wilt he to declared by Judge llogo. Otherwise the good people of tbla State might m>,.pose thnt hi* Honor wne ainMtiou* (iude. pcmUut ol hia arpirntlons fhr tho hcnch and Congress) of receiving the title of "Baron Munchausen." L' t urf nutico in detail this marvelous statement of the vefnolou* Chronitlr. I will not lo Judgo Hogc the injustice of attributing this Statement to him. "It ha* Keen the dotermination of the r?bela of South Carolina to exterminate all white Union tnen residing in tho State." I ask what evidence i? there of thi* determination? Never before have I ever heard a suspicion of such a determination in public or private. Nor has any one else in South Carolina. " Within tho past fifteen day* ficeaty./fre mnriien of Union tnen havo been ooinmittad iu Abbeville County alone!" I ran only say that no such statement has ever been heard of before. I base been in daily eomlminioatton with Abbeville, and have only heard of four murders in that District within the last six mouth*. If there havo been ftcrafy fir*, it is duo the public that the proof should be given. " Colored men have been taken front their bed* tl night, their shirts drawn over their headland then bru'ally beaten." No such atrooilv is known to the publie. The proof should be given if there is any, "Armed bodies of the Ku-KUlx patrol the country, and with nturdcrou* aim shoot down the hnsband and father ax he sits at the table with his fktntly I " Where is I bo proof? I,et us have it. I hositato not to say that there is no such organisation a* the "Ku-Klux" in the whole State of South Carolina. "The Nu-Klux hatfo (Worn to kill every Union member of Ihe Legislature on the day for assemblingHow doe* hi* Honor know this tcrrltde secret of " armed bodies," which have no existence, nor never bad in South Carolina? He is surely not one of tho initiated ktrigbU^ and it is due to justice that he should make known tho sources of hie infor million. I pass on to the following statement: "Ovor 15,000 stand of arms linvc Kern imported into the State (from New York city mostly) within the pnat few weeks, which ore of the moat improved pattern (the repeater firing aeventeen tiiM^j and large quantities of ammunition accompanying!

It i* well known | throughout the State, that Ihesc gentlemen have, on all oeeaaions, in pnbHe and In priawtr, in their spooehe* and in "heirletter* published, deprecated, in the strongest term*, all art* of violence and outrage. Tlicy have appealed hi the most earnest terms, in word* of truth and eloquence, not only to the justice and morality of ttic people, t > their Christian spirit and feci*- ' ings, but to their patriotism, tlwir love of liberty, aud their own self interest and pro. lection, to be pear table aud quiet, obey their Jaws and submit to the powers that be. whether military despoti-tn or negro rule, under the hope and belief that a change in their sad and degraded condition must and would take place. -Vii.l tlmt all set* of violence on their part oulv retarded 11>ut change and did thcui infinite inijchivf abroad.

Judge Hoge was greatly esclted, the other day,- at Greenville, when the post efllee > door opened and the hoys rushed in to get their letters. He became agitated, jumped up, and went into tho hotel and luquired what : that disturbance was about. The radleal leaders, carpet-baggers and scallawag*. have boen all over South Carolina, making puklie speeches of the most incendiary character, by night and by day, poisoning the minds of the colored people against their fbrwar owners and friends; telling them of their prowess In tho application of the torch. And yet I have heard of very few disturbances at thslr public meetings. The fruits of their teachings arc seen in almost every newspaper we opcn.givtag an account of houses, barm and atablca Oornt. wurthv cltlvnns nmnUrnrf. houses robbed anil wouirn al>uf?d! Nothing in said of three horrible and repealed orlmea' at tbu North. But when some rrrklm whit* man revenges hi* own and bia country'* wrongs on there audacious fiends, there is a howl ail over Now England and the radicalism of the North, as if there waa a new rebellion at the P'mth. More troops are called -for to guard i these incendiaries in their holy preaching. The leading gentlemen of the State, and the Democratic Clubs of the*8tato, have done ail in their |>ower to reptess and prevent thle lewless retribution. Hut there are, and ever will he, reckless ami bed mnn in every community, who talco the laws into their owr. hands and will not be controlled by the good and wise. In consequence of this tliie innocent are made to suffer, as was the case in Georgia, for the murder of Ashley, under Gen. Meade's cruel aud infamous toleration. And as we were threatened in South Carolina, the other ds.V, by thnt atrocious prociomation of Gov. f*eutt, declaring and proclaiming that if these assassinations hy the wicked were not put a etop to, he would call out tho negro militia as a standing army, no matter how horrible might be the consequences to the innocent nod helpless! I do not quote the langnage, 1st do en press the very Idea of a man who, in this oiviliied and Christian age, signs his name as Governor of South Carolina. 11. F. PEURY. Greenville, S.

The ensuing meeting of tho Legislature will give a large opportunity to test these matters. We shall always incline to vindicate and defend just and wholesome measures of legislation, lei who will propose tnsm or carry them through.
