NEWBERRY, S. C,, Oct, 27, 1872. My investigations into the conditton of aimirs in Laurens county have tailed to discover any oppost- Won to the laws, either Stale or United States. I Rave ascertaiuea, however, that not a single Ku Klux raid has ever been made in the county, the Fadicals themselves admitting this fact, NO KU KLUX IN LAURENS COUNTY. As showing how exaggerated and often utterly @aWe. have been the reports published im the radical | press of the outrages committed upon negroes, I ave only to mention that, excepting in an elec- ‘tom riot lust year, there has not been & negro killed ‘ey a white man in Laurens since the war ended, Tkere have been several cases of whipping, but in every case the victim bad been guilty of some @Gence agalost the laws, and for which he had not been punished by the proper authorities. Of course mob jaw cannot be justified under any circum- stances, but 1 mention the cause solely for the pur- pose of showing that politics had nothing whatever $0 do with the troubles, SOME NEGRO OUTRAGES. While no negroes have been murdered white men Rave. ‘ibe ost notorious one was the assassination @f Dr. C. Shell by negroes in 1868, In this case one of | tbe assassins Was convicted and hung, and the others were permitted to escape, Furthermore, I have be- fore me the story of an attack by negroes upon the selidence of Mr. Harrison Scott. He was absent at the time, and his wife was most brutally treated, @Mer doing which the negroes robbed the house and | | marched off. An attempt was also made on the ‘fife of a Mr. Shaw, which, however, fortunately auuled. e@bout the negroes of Laurens county. All the whites agree in representing the majority of them as orderly and well behaved, and certainly the ‘Begroes do not complain of any ill-treatment at | the hands of the whites. I donot know that I pan illustrate the object of the Ku Klux better than by giving the words of a negro to me on yesterday. “Boas,” said he, “de Ku Klux no troubleme, 1 mebber steal anything from nobody.” AN ELECTION RIOT. The election riot last year was reported. at the fame in the HeRaLp, but nol as Ihave heard it. We affair occurred in this way:—A large body or ‘wegro militia, oficered by negroes, had been sta- f4oned in Lanurensvilie for some time and had gerried on things pretty much thelr own way, to tie great exasperation of the whites, A Bouse occupied by them had been converted into a fort, with loopholes, &c. On the day of the election ene of the stave constables—a white man—got into @row with one of the citizens and a fight ensued etween them. The row attracted numerous per- Sons tothe spot and quite a crowd had gathered ‘@round the combatants, when, suddenly the negro wallitia rushed into their improvised fortress, closed he doors and opene’ fire upon the crowd through the loopholes. Tremendous excitement fol- fowea = this outrage. The whites hurried @ome, armed themselves and returned to sMe scene and a desperate confict “+ was, xesumed on the following day ana ended in ~ wisarming of the negro mi!itia and their witn- @rawal or disbandment by authority of the Goy- grnor, Some half dozen negroes were killed or Wounded and two or three whites the same, Radicals have admitted to me that the conduct of ‘We militia naa been overbearingly insolent and that 1 required only another overt act to incense 1@ whites beyond the power of controlling their passions, Now, whether the whites were criminal ‘@r notin this riot, it cannot possibly be tortured *ato a Ku Klux outrage. BURNING OF A SCHOOL HOUSE. Much stress is laid py the Laurens county radicais ‘@pon the burning of their school house. The negro im charge of it declares that he nad previously been given notice to quit the county or he would be tilled. He ts living in the county to-day souna in body. However, one night the school house was urved down and instantly the Ku Kinx were ebarged with the incendiarism. Not a living has ever asserted that he saw the | men who did it. it is stated, however, that | the members of the negro ciurch’ w whieh the @enoul Was altacbed tad had a row about It oniy a | few evenings belvre it was burned, and the whites believe that some of them set it on fire im revenge for not having their own way about it. It is scarcely Fatioual to suppose that White men would have @estroyed it wuen they were fully aware that they Would have to furntsit the movey to revuild i. Ail the taxes paid by the negroes of Laureus county 1n | ® year could not have purchased the palis with which to jasten the planks together, NO CONFIDENCE IN THE AUTHORITIES. In baurens county I hear the same courplaint I Mave heard im Newberry county—namely, utler ‘want of confidence in the officials placed over the people by the Governor or by the votes of the negro, ey run the machinery of the government in the interesis of the blacks, and the whites—who own all the property—are only thought of in connection With the taxes, Governor Scott ts beid in supreme eontemot by we whites everywhere. He is charged ‘with duplicity and doubie dealing, with saying one ing to the whites ana the exact site to the ks, while he does everything to satisiy his political party. GOVERNOR SCOTT'S MALADMINISTRATION. Ido not pretend to say that in all the digturbances: which have taken pl: whe whites have been wholly Dlameless. Uniloubtediy, they have done some tuings which they ougnt not to have done. But some aiiowance must be made for human nature. Men are likely to become exasperated when their barns, horses, stavies, &c., are burned to the gropad, and alter they have succeeded in getting the criminals convicted see the Governor turu them louse. I have conversed with some of the most respectable citt- wens of Newberry and Laurens counttes—men whom © doubt would be equivaient to pronouncing the entire southern people ars aud scoundrels—and 4m aii cases the same complaint has been made. Tne Jaws of the state are bad enough, they say, but Ict them be fairly enforced and there will be no Ku Klux, They declare 1 to be @ notorious fact that | @ny hegre who pvussceses political influence can | commit erie with impunity. If even tei offence $s 80 airocions that the negro juries are compelled to convict Governor Scott stands ready with a pardon to set them free. Just previous to ‘the last erection (by way of fllusiration), several negroes in Newberry county were couvicted of rioting. ‘Tuey were seti- tenced 10 the penitentiary. Jt so happened that tmey were imducnital in politics aud they were turned Joose.

What trauspired between the lawyer and the lady has not bpea revealed, but the prisoner subsequently Stated that the lawyer assured him “there was no danger.’ In the cell in which Medlicott was confined was a young.man named Henry Johnson, alias Sperry— the same man who was fined in the United States Circuit Court in this city about @ year ago for de- frauding the revenue department, Johnson was impr.soned on @ charge of burglary and. larceny, He became satisfied of Mediicott’s guilt trom hear- ing him talkin his sleep.
