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

of ttic people, t > their Christian spirit and feci*- '

It is Mi<l, in the snored Serlptsres, that
" the wicked flee when no bid pnrmtth."
Such lies l?een the eaee with theae hungrjr mIventurers
from the North. They ipprthttil
aril when none is intended. They see danger
in the rustling of a leaf or the waving of a
.reed. 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.

lhare are among them thoae who are willing

who would anpport measures that are

of the late election has ahown them
that a m?j*rity of the counties in this Stall

above mere party tactics, as we have eonie
reason To expeet, and pros# by their a eta
that they desire the real good of the pen*
pie, and particularly of the counties they
represent, they will earn a title to the kind
regard of their fellow.e!t**-na that will endure.
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. Whether
men of one party or the other do this,
bey will deserve commendation for so doing.

its effect in the prosperity of tha city ; but
tliay fear very dreadful. It may, howenr
not b?*ae disastrous as one fears. It wil'
establish, however, negro supremacy la the
city for thrca years, and that is bad enough.
During that tiiua all .offices and positions
will be filled by that parly ; and tha negro
will be in office and on lira polite, and tha

Macauley, iu hUs History of England,
ep*-aking of a state of things in England
that would never be tolerated, says that it
would no mora be endorcd by Englishmen
