CHESTERVILLE, 8. C., Nov. 11, 1871. In my letter of yesterday 1 gave you a few facts Doncerning the condition of affairs in this county, Thassome of the outrages perpetrated vy the Ku Klux were most wanton is admitted to me by the ‘white citizens of tnis village, For instance, a quiet And decent black man living near Chestervilie was most brutally beaten by disguised men one night. Althougn a radicai he had never taken @ prominent part in politics, and nad always been civil to the Whites, Subsequently, it is true, he was informed Yhathe had been whipped by mistake; that the men ‘who beat him had mistaken bis house for the house Of another negro whose punishment had been order- ‘Pd by the Klan. I submit that there was bat littic ,Songolation in vis assurance. / OUTRAGES, POLITICAL AND OTHERWISE, Other cases equally atroctous and condemnable oc- purred tn this couuty, but Lam fully satisfied that poll- tics had title or nothing to do with the immediate cause ofa large majority of the outrages, In some cases the Intolerabic Insolence of the negroes whip- Ped was the cause; 1 others robbery, incendiarism Bnd other crimes a,ainst soctety provoked the pun- Ishment. The gieat «iiicuity, however, ts to sepa- raie the cascs of political intolerauce from the thers, When a negro was whipped he ran and ade a complaimt, and Wf ever he bad committed heft he wus syrewd epough to conceal the fact, and he never fated tu report that he was beaten vecanse pe was aradical. 1t was the same when a murder was committed. Pei sonal quarrels had frequently Much to do with them. Verhaps a.1 but one of the five mourders perpetrated i this county were the sad results of private hatreds; but the federal authori- ‘es, anxious to tind sume pretext on which to place ‘Whe white people of South Carolina stil more fully An the power of the biacks, received the statements of interested persons as gospel trath and attributed @ll of them to politics, t WHO ats RESPONSIBLE? __. Teannot too offen repeat chat the Ku Kiux organ- Yzation was vad and deserved to be suppressed; but I insist that the present government of South Carolina da directly respousivie ivr t's existence. Governor Boot and the Sture Leg slature are primarily the @ause ol every murder and Whipping, because of the jwretched manner in which tuey have governed the State. You may find tmis denied by the Correspondents of radical newspapers, but 4t is the truth, nevertueless, In my pre. vious leiters 1 have given you some Adea of the kind of nea who govern the State, ‘Yesterday | gave the names of men wno had ween Couvicied or accused beiore the Coarts of thelt, Dut who had nevertieless been appointed by the Governor to protect the purity of the ballot box Sd LO conduct We Hnancial adairs of tus County.

RYSIER WARYED, The man Ryster, whose name I have mentioned in the ceding sentences, was one of the worst men in this county, He was unpopniar with every- body in Chesterville, At the election for Mayor, previous to the riot, he received only thirty-six out O1 107 negro radical votes, the mavority of the ne- groes voting for the democraitc candidate, 1 nave not heard even @ rad Cal say anyihing lavorable of Rysier. He possessed considerable influence with the country negroes and was j: to sur up strife be.ween the races. The Ku Klux brought his career to asudden clos: by ordermg him to quit the county, lyster obeyed the eruer ani leit the State, Lt ty impossible to approve this lawless action of the Klan, but no person will deoy that at rid the county of a very bad ghuracter, A SUMMUNG Ur, To sum up the record of Chester county I must condemn tne Ku Kiux and repeat tuat their orzant- | zation was due to bad government, Incendiarism and threats of icendiarism, dishonest officials, wholesale pardoning 0: criminals, ropveries, the arming of the negroes and refusal to arm the wuites— all these combined with @ Litter opposttioa 10 the negro government of the State to produce a state of affairs In every xense of the word deplorabie. 1 cannot apologize for a singie outrage perpetrated by the Ku Kiux, Some of the outrages were most | damaably benral at Thave neither pity nor sym- | peshs for the political party which has suffered oy CLs Alarming Accounts of Incendlarism—Negro Insolence the Provoking Cause of the Ku Klux Outracwe—unds of Bogus Ka Klux Good Treatment of the Prisoners by « United States Authorities—What Will Be the End of le ¢ YORKVILLE, 8.

The famous declaration of Lord Palmerston in relation to the Schleswig-Hoistein question, that | but one man understvod it thoroughly, and he was | dead, may be justly applied tv the social and polit. | cal question in tnis county. What with the asser- tions of federal oiliclals, white and btack radical leaders and negroes on the one haud, and wiite citizens im general on the o'ner, one is put into | about ag wo/ul a quandary as can be imagined. ORGANIZATION OF TUK KLAN, On one point only is everybody agreed, and tt is | that since December last this county las been in a terrible condition. Sifting, as well ay { cau, out of a tremendous mass of conflicting evidence, ali the facts that seem trathiul, L am able toseud you the following recor l:—As tar back a3 1563 some sort of @ secret organization was formed in tits count, which, however, did practically nothiag in the way of numidating voters or perpetrating outrages, It continued to exist in @ semi-comatose state until shortly prior 19 phe elecuon of last year, when tt | suddeniy roused iiseif into ierrible activity, effect- ing litile, i is true, unul alter Scote and the radical county candidates nad been elected. I shall not now siate what causes operated to awaken it to life, but shall conflae myself ta this and the succeeding paragraph to its operations. Soon after the clection rumors became curreat at | intervals that a seerct orgaaization, kuown as the Ku Klux Klan, was engaged tn whipplng negroes. In December a negro, named itouudtroe, Was mur- dered in the northwestern part of ths couaty, avd, aitnough some men were arrested, the lezal exacal- nation which followed resulted in their acquittal and discharge. During the toilowing moath ihe outrages tacreased tn number, the imysiertuus or- gauizauion acting with the most remorseless activity and with the utmost secrecy, NEGRUES MURDERED AND WHIPPED. Every succeeding mouth until evrly in May wit- neased au increage IM the number of these oulrages. Negroes were whipped—sowe in & must brutal mau- ner; afew women were also whipped, and five other negroes murdered, At the inctpiency of the Ku Klux operations numerous citizeus of tue county openly denounced them. Aiter a while these citl- zens became eilent—a few from terror, the great ma.ority from causes which I shail hereafter men- tsistent in Lis efforts | , In making his escape, | that accoun | Last night Colonel Merril adias | candidates, addres and the outbreak of the Ku Kinx incenatary fires decane frequent, Coionel Merrill ans Destrict At- toruey Corbin w-sert that the negroes barned tue Property of the whites tu retaliation for the Ku Kinx Oulrages; the citizens assert Wat the burnings | began Letore the Ku Klux outrazes became fre- quent, But, be that as tt imay, it is certain that an { aiarming amount of imccndiarism prevaiied.

There 1s something miscraply wearisoie in thts recital of crime and retainatory crime, asive from the natural disgust and horror wiin witch ove con> templates the sunject. But the story has to be tol ana therefore I continue. Among the residents of Yorkvile was a white radical named 4. M. Rose, ‘Who held ihe important po-ition o Country trea: surer. The killing of tne negro Brown was so closely followed by a iresh batch of ouirages that the radi- cals here appealed to the United miates yoverument to senu troops to the cvuaty, that a company of soluiers “wonid arrive on t | of March, and on that night the Ku K ux tore few rails of the ratiroad track to prevent tue Ing.

NUMBER OF OUTRAGE AS regards the onuage: tion, Negroes and a tew whites who had heretofore acted with the radical party suddenly published cards in the Yorkville Exquircy announcing that hereatter they would vote with the democracy, Meantime the lashing, shooting aud hanging weal on. One night the Ku Kiux made a big raid into this town and Uied to get how of a white man named E. M. Rose, then County Treasurer, anda negro | Preacher, named Tom Wright, tn voih of wich ellorts they tailed. prompted the Ku Kiux in their raids, it Is certain Unat politics had something to do with it, ‘The rats Were numerous; sometimes tailing to elfect the ob- Ject sought; most frequently resulting in a more or less avominabie outrage. Occasionally the Ku Kiux Kian promulgated orders and oer documenta, | which the pubic were permitted to see, ait of which | expressed the determination 10 punisi crime and | jraud and to put au end to negro rule in South Car- | olina. I think that even Colonel Merrill and District Attorney Cortin will admit that 1 have adhered most ndexibiy to astatement of what occurred in two joregoing paragraphs. THE CAUSES—INSULENCE OP THE NEGRO MILITIA, If L had stopped with the last paragraph but ove impression could be formed, and it would be that | some hundreds of vile, semi-barburous wretches, | filed with @ spirit of poltiical mtolerance, had vented their hatred upon defenceless ucgroes, be. cause these Jutter Would not vote as they demanded, and “ipaugurated hell!’ in South Carolia, Here 1s precisely Where Coionel Merrilt, District Attorney Coroin aud aij the radical leaders in the State would | have me stop; but here is precisely the point at | which 1 dare not stop, without doing vielence to every sentimeps of iairuess and impar- tality, which the MERALD impresses upon | the minds of its correspondents, 1 am assured that probably Gfteen buaudred men in York couaty were members of the Ku Klux Klan | and 600 morcin tuli sympathy with it, Now, as there are only 2,355 White men in te county, am 1 to conciude that 2,000 of them are savages?
