CABLE NEWS! From All Parts of the Old World. THE EASTERN PANIC. The Times’ Frantic Appeal to Germany Condemned. GERMANY’S SARCASTIC SNEER Excitement in the French Capital. Lonpos, Oct, 17, 1876. The scene of tho interest in the Eastern Question nas suddenly drifted from the valleys of the Moravaand Drina to London, ‘The interest of all Europe centers to-day in the Times’ leader of yesterday, a fuli abstract of which ‘was forwarded by cable. The universal query is re- garding the sources of the inspiration under which that remarkable article was written. How far does the Times speak the feelings, the bopes and the fears of the government? The managers of rival lournals, who bave been accustomed to sneer, refer to “the waning power’’ of ‘the Thanderer” have Been to-day their statement completely nullited. The bad, even abject position in which that one column of type puts England inthe eyes of all Europe makes every man in the metropolis to-night duly sensible of the majesty and power of the presses in Printing House square, The language of the article ia unmistakable. Itw not bravado or gush. It is tho language of & panic, of uncertainty and fear. .The press of London condemn and repudiate the feeings which their great coadjutor has expressed. More humiliating yet, the journals of the German capital tell England’s newspaper that {t must not expect Ger- many to fight the battles of any other nation while It bas its own welfare to consult, If Bismarck holds the fature of England’s Eastern interests in his band he evidently intends to play the cards as he sees fit, and tor Germany's best interests. Germany frst, England Mtcrward, GERMANY DECLINES, ‘That there may not be any mistake the extracts aro annexed:—The National Gazette, of Berlin, discussing the reference to Germany in the Times’ leader, says:— “The power of Germany neither gives her the right nor imposes on her the duty of placing her own peace {m jeopardy for the advantage of others.” The North German Gazette says that “The Times, in its article, ignores the existence ot the alliance of the three 1m- Perial Powers.”” To ask, nay, entreat, and be refused— ‘that is too bad, too pitiful. ‘THE EXCITEMENT IN PARIS. ‘The panic has communicated itself to Paris, Al- ready the atmospaere was ripe for such an epidemic. M. de Girardin bas roused the fires in France by his brilliant pamphlet. ‘‘Europo’s Shame” may be said to mark a new point of departure im French political thought, M. de Girardin warmly advocates a quad- ruple alliance between France, Russia, Germany and Italy, whose interests he considers identical. Groat Britain and Austria, on the other band, he belioves irrevocably committe! to the maintenance of the Ottoman “Empire io its integrity. He hopes for a peacotul solution ofthe pending aifficulties, but should this prove im- possibic, he does pot sbrink from the idea of war; for- getting that a conflict with England would probably vost France her Algerian dominions and the few colonies that remain to her. M, de Girardin further advocates the expuision of the Turk from Europe and the erection of a contederacv of datonomons Staves, comprising Bulgaria, Ro.. |ia and Albania; Con- Btantinople to be a {ree city uiuer the guarantee of the Four Powers; the Dardanelles to be opened to the fleets of all nations, and {ree trade to be proclaimed as a new gospel to the whole world. Americans may wonder what on earth free trade bas to do with the Eastorn quostion, and may possibly icel that France is really too kind in offering ber a set of commercial prin- ciples of the value of which she is far from satisfed, On these points M. de Girardin is more eloquent than explicit, but perhaps be had better be permitted to speak for bimsel!, * “The old policy,” he says, “the little policy, the policy of territorial parcelling, the policy of rivalry, the policy of war, the policy of Cardinal Richelieu and of Prince Bismarck is summed up ia this word:— ‘The eartk.’ “The now policy, the great policy, the policy of Maritime expansion, the policy of reciprocity, the policy of peace, the policy of Christopher Columbus and of Ferdinand de Lesseps is summed up in this word:—‘The sea,’ ”? Atter perusing such a passage one can ooly applaud d wonder the commentary of ordinary mortals can have no place here, THE PANIC IN ENGLAND, Returning to the sentiment in London, the Pall Mall Gazette this oflernoon has a strong leader on Russia's position. It say: We believo the Porte will and pught to regard the alternative demand for a short armistice as the proposal of an almost undisguised bel- ligerent seeking military advantages ratber than of a mediator sincerely desiring peace, and, as such, will snd ought to reject it. 1s would be mero weakness on tho vart of the other Powers to admit Russia’s demands to urge the Porte to accept these demands is not only «hopeless course, but ono which no independent Power of Europe can adopt without loss of sel!-respect and without the riak of becoming the tool of diplomatic wickery. We observe with profound regret that an »pposite course is advocated in language which is al- most the language of panic.” This is a quiet sneer at the Times and its tremuious agitation over the wrisis of affairs, The article continues:—''We do tot see the advantage of the thick and thin course which has been followed thus lar, We hope that the English government will with- raw from diplomatic attempts which are too plainly exposed to frustration by disguised or eniorced hos- lihty. If we withdraw trom interference at this point nothing worse can happen than if we go farther into pourparlers so hopeless of good result, It is with an Mmost inexpressible shame that we read and know vhat all Europe will read the abject entreaty of sur leading journal to Prince Bismark to gave us and all mankind from the tenidle Muscovite. With what scorn will this be read, and how well calculated isn panic like this to festrain the Russian war party? Wo may rely upon it tbat Prince Bismarck will do what he thinks good for ihe Empire in his keeping, and it may be he thinks | Russia at war with Turkey rather a desirable eventu- ality, Russia must begin by fighting somebody, ana somewhere, if she is to be shattered, and be no longer menace in actual hate and possible alliances against the German Empire.” | THE SITUATION HOPELESS, Instead of the picture of ‘two monks at a sepulehre mP ioe quarrelling over a key and a stiver star,’ the Englishman has seen every morning for woeks at Vis breakfast table a ghastlier vision. The talisman which has conjured up the pow dreadfully ominous thadow of the Czar has been the burning words, “Tarkish butchories in Bulgaria!’ The .bistory of the days of fever heat which preceded the Crimean aris repeating itself, Nowhere can the hopeloss- ness of the situation bo better seen than in the special despatches from the sont of war. The Standard’s correspondont at Constantinople, for in- itance, does not hesitate 10 say :—'-TNere is great un- yasiness bere and little hope of averting war. Popular feeling against Russia ts very bitter, Some warlike demonstration is expected on tho occasion of the Bairam, whien is the groat annual Turkish lestival and begins this week. The Turks now talk calmly of their determination to fight Kusia single handed. They claim that they will have «ll the money necessary to carry on the campaign,” RUSSIA'S REPLY TO TURKEY, The circular which the Russian Prime Minister, Prince Gortschakof, sent abroxd 10 the governments of Europe in reply to Tarkey’s offer of the six months’ armistice, has at last leaked out = Princo Gortsehakof points out that no durable peace could proceed from the Turkish proposal Servia and Monte: i ied aut NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1876.—TRIPLE SHEET. we. negre could not be expected to remain so long ina critical position. He conciudes with the stateme' that Russia is disposed to insist upon an armistice of a month or six weeks, which might be extended if the progress of regotiations rendered it necessary. 18 IT TOO LaTR? Turkey, throughout all the efforts ot the European Powers for a peaceful settlement of the war, baz shown an apathy which has bordered upon carelessness. Only partial explanation of this course has beea found in the dangerous class of people over which the Sultan rules, and the combustible tactions im Cons: tunople headed by the Softas. The Softas are ready, as were the students of the old Latin quarter in Paris, to raise @ barricade or depose an existing régime just for the fan of setting up another Servis, on the other hand, with Russia’s counsel, has never hesitated for an instant as to her policy. She has refused emphatically all previous offers of treaty, and now she offers to ac- cept terms which she knows Turkey will not grant. This Is her ultimatum, and it breathes war, defiance and good backing in every line:— “Servia is willing to accept the status quo provided the Turks givo guarantees for the proper government of Bosnia, bat Servia will not consent to any armistice longer than December 31. If that is refused now she does not bind herseif to accept it atany future time. ‘The prospect of an armistice or peace ts not flattering,” AUSTRIAN DIPLOMACY. Since the Czar’s autograpk letter reached Vienna Count Andrassy’s Ministry has viewed the situation with Russian spectacles. The semi-official journal of the Austrian Court declares that the six months’ armis- tice as offered by the Porte ts “too extended a one to be acceptable,” bowever, the greater period includes the less, and the Porte has incontestably fuifillod the re- quirements of tho Powers, Anyhow the Turkish proposal does away with all question of Occupation, intervention, aval demonstratior or rupture of diplomatic relations. Meanwhile, Austria informs Servia and Montenegro of ber ac- ceptance of Turgey’s proposal for the long armistice “The long armistice includes tho short one,” ts the understanding upon which Austria accepts; diplomacy that will acoommodate itself to events, AN EMPRESS AT WORK, The n from all points breathes of Russia’s de- signs upon the peace of Europe, Tho latest gossip is that the Czar favors peace, but that the km- press and Czarewitch are strongly allied with tho national party andare exerting their efforts to further its projects, On the other hand, in the tn- terests of peace it is claimed that the Russian objec- Mons to Turkey’s proposal are stated in a calm and = argamentati ton indicating « desire for negotiation, and in her advice to Montenegro and Servia clearly and unmistakably anites her interests with them. In advising them to reject the Turkish propositions she has accepted the responsibility of such refusal. Close upon her other acts comes the announcement that Russia has resolved upon issuing a national loan of 300,000,000 roubles, or $240,000,000. The Times’ Berlin special eays:—*‘After Spending 20,000,000 roubles in ‘he last three months in attempting to maintain the nominal value of the paper carrency, the St Petersburg National Bank has avowed its inability to proceed with the operation and declares the bills will no longer be paid in gold. It is believed that tho Russian government is trying to obtain a loan in Holland.”” A LITTLE WIGHT. A trifling battle is in progress before Podgoritza, but {t 1s child’s play compared with what will follow it the diplomatic situation is not ehanged for the better, Therefore an nt which a month ago would have been worth a lengthy reference demands only a few words to-day. We are told that Dervish Pacha, having received rein- forcements, succeeded in repelling the attack on Pod- goritza, which was commenced by five battalions of Montenegrins on the 11tb inst. COSSACKS FOR SRRVIA. ‘A Times’ despatch from Belgrade this morning says that the Servian government states that 4,000 Cossacks arrived at Kladova last week, bringing 700 horses, and marehed to Deligrad. A thousand more were expected to arrive yesterday. The Russian Government is concentrating troops in the Caucasus. The influx of Rnssian soldiers is assuming more serious proportions. Many arrive in uniform, with arms. Tho advent of 600 a day* is not unusual. The Berlin dispatch to the Times says Colonel Detashkoff’s mission in behalf of Russia will address ‘teelt particularly to tne military party in the Austrian court, who advise making common cause with Russia and introducing the policy of conquest. WHAT TURKEY OFFERED, The full text of tho Porte’s note to the Powors ap- peared in the Zimes this morning. It attracts no attention whatever, probably because the terms of the armistice coincide with the abstract as already sent by cable to the United States. The noteis conciliatory, submissive and almost humble. Com- menting upon the note the Jimes says:—‘Tur- key could not possibly have been more concili- atory, The note judiciously abstains from denouncing the foreign volunteersas Russians, There is nothing in it at which Russia, or any other Power, could reason- ably take offence, The tact of Russia’s having reverted to the demands originally made by England would be encouraging if we could regard with confidence the animus which prompted this course.”” THR LAND OF HEROES. Meanwhile, in the midst ofall this lowed talk and clashing of printing presses, little Greece rises and speaks. The King of the Hellenes, on bis way home, stops over long enough in Vienna to say to Count Anfrassy that, while be de sires peace, he roturns to place the army of Greece on a war footing. Ho regards tho situation as faily critical enough to jastify this course, and especially does he look with disfavor upon the mobili- zation of the Roumanian army. He 1s evidently in doubt as to who may be his neighboron the northward before many months. The people of Athens are still holding large popular demonstrations, in which orators of the day prociaim the urgency of warlike prepara- tons, 4 DEAD GENERAL, A telegram from Rogusa announces the death from wounds received in the face of the enemy of Djelaled- din Pacha, commander of a division of Turkish troops under Moukhtar Pacha. RELIGIOUS FANATICISM IN THE BALERIC ISLANDS. The cry against Protestantis:n in Spain by the clergy and moderado party bas evidently spread to the Baleric Isles. The intelligence reaches London to- night that the Bisbop of Minorca has issned a new cir- cular enjoining on masters of primary schools not to admit the sons of Protestants and other dissenters, THR ALEXANDRA PALACK. The fate which bas been banging over the Alexandra Palace Company bas been precipitated by the rocent deciine of securities, owing to the uncertainty of the Kasterm situation, It hes filed a petition in bank- ruptcy. This company was organized for the purpose of erecting a rival place of pablic resort to the Crystal Palace, The muney was eventualiy raisea and the building erected on Muswell Hill, about seven miles north of King’s Cross, London, on the Great Northern Railway. lt witl be remembered as the piace at which the Baiakiava anniversary banquet was held last year about this time The enmverprise was never more than partially successful, and the cer- tainty of ite failare has beep admitted. It never pos- sessed any of the macnificens attractions to be found in its Sydenham Hill rival, Therefore, if the Crystal Palace has proved a financial failure, how was it to be expected that a pew competitor for shillings aud half crowns could succeed’ The insolvency of the instita- tion will pot prevent its beimg kept open, however, and the dog, chicken nud baby shows will doubtless con- tinue with pristine persistency. THR PROSPRCTIVE FAMINE IN INDIA. The periodical famine seems to threaten Central India, The presidencies of Bengat and Bombay have been visited by weather unfavorable to the crops, and asaresult the distress in tho Deccan provinces and the moro southerly of the Mabratta States is already very great, The Indian arm of the English govern- ment bas adopted moasures for relief, and is despatch. ing food to the suffering districts. The scarcity of grain, aod consequent suffering, is also reported to ex- ist in Candetsh and Wassik, districts also belonging to the Bombay presidency. There are people in London, Tam sorry to say, woo claim to find a curtous cin. cidence in the fact that this periodic scareity of food generally follows depressed stato of silver or ox- change. DRITISH CORN TRADE, “Harvesting is stil untiniehed in tbe North,” says the Mark Lane Express in its reviow of the gtain trade during the past week, “and the unsecured crops are suffering both in grain and straw. There has been « ‘slight improvement in the auantity of grain marketed by farmers during the week, but the bulk offered is Still in an unsatisfactory condition. Only dry samples bave met with any attention, and these have been rather higher, presumably because of the demand for fine grain tor sowing purposes. Values do not appear to have been raised by the prospect of war. Our ro- turn of granary stocks on the Ist of October, eompared with that of July 1, showed that the quantity of maize in granary is quadrupled. Wheat is increased by rather over half. Flour is eome- what dimimished, These stocks, though cer- vainly |i » Ought not, considering the recent and prospective large diminution of imports and the deficient home growth, to depress trade. They show only ® moderate increase upon the corresponding period of last year, The largo imports then arriving were accummulating week by week, whereas at present the draft is rather out of than into granary. All things considered, the condition of trade is healthy, although the large stocks and the difficulty of ware- housing grain = exerciso §=— an._—s influence ad- verse to holders On the other hand, no decline seems possible while shipments {rom abroad continue on the present moderate scale, end any political event of moment might cause some excitement, the countries concerned being important grain producers. Tho local trude remains about tho same as last week, the only increase being a demand for Indian wheat, which millers bought freely. The floating cargo trado ruled very firm, with only modor- ate arrivals off the coast, Rather more attention hi beon paid to flonting cargoes. Ghirka wheat has been held at fall prices. WASHINGTON. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasnixaton, Oct 16, 1876. VIRGINIA BEPUBLICANS REPRESENTING THE MILDER FORMS OF OUTRAGR IN THAT STATE—THE PROSPECTS IN THE ENSUING ELECTION. Tho aspect of Virginia politics has been brought to the view of the administration through a committee composed of Colonel James D. Braay, Secretary of the State Republican Committeo; Dr. Jorgensen, republi- can candidate for Congress in the Fourth district, and other leading politicians who have beon here for some days, the milder orm of outroges being represented, though they acknowledgo that Virginia ts the best reconstructed of all the Southern States, They have had interviews with the Secretaries of War and the Treasury and the Attorney General. Colonel Brady represents the condition of affairs in Virginia as favor- le to the republicans, and claims that Colonel Joseph Begar, of the Second, and Dr. Jorgensen, of the Fourth district, will undouStedly be olected. Dr. Mills, he says, is likely to succeed ex-Governor Walker tn the Richmond district, The interest of the latter among his constituency has fallen off since he has been in the Houso, and be is supposed, financially as well as politi- cally, to be now more allied to the Pacific slope, THE CABINBT SESSION YESTSEDAY—NO ACTION TAKEN IN REFERENCE TO SOUTH CAROLINA, The President thought that he would be able to con- sider the important business in regard to the South brought before him as Chief Executive of the United States, and consequently he called a special Cabinet meeting to-duy, After his official family had convened {n response to bis call, upon more deliberate consulta- tion, as 1s stated by one of the officials present, he came to the conclusion that the subject master upon which he wished most to decide could not be diseussead with that fulness which he would like, audit was determined to let the whole question pertinent to Southern affairs, and principally as relates to South Carolina, go over until he can have afall Cabinet session, as Secretary Chandler was ab- sent, bat is expected to arrive here to-morrow.

PHILADELPHIA’S CHURCH SCANDAL. THE REV. MB. BOTT’S TROUBLES—IMPROBA- BILITY OF HIS BEING BROUGHT TO TRIAL— PUBLIC OPINION IN KENSINGTON. PurLapEuruta, Oct, 16, 1876, Tho Rev. Thomas A. Bott, against whom charges of “indiscretion”? have been made which have set the whole of Kensington to talking, preached yesterday morning and last evening to large audiences, Natu- rally enough his hearers were nearly all women, for he has ‘‘a taking way’’ with the ladies, and they are his sealous supporters in the present difliculty. BOTT’S APPRARANCK. Personally the accused preacher is about five feet ten inches in height, of slight build, weighs about 150 pounds and appears to be thirty-five yearsold. He is quick and nervous in his speech and movements and has a ploasing, expresive, intellectual tace, smooth shaven, with the oxception of athin mustache, and wears Jong, flowing hair. He 1s a man of considerable talent, and, of coursy, a fluent, persuasive taiker, else he would not nave been able to intrench himself in the hearts of the temale members of his flock as be hus done. After the services yesterday the sisters gathered around their pastor, and im tho most voluble and ex- cited manner discusse tho situation. The vestibule and sidewalk were filled with the partisans of the preacher, and it was evident from their manuer that there will be a determined fight on his side. The accused himself, in spite of the assurance of his Indy friends, showed considerable nervousness in convorsa- Vion. THE PROSPROTS OF HIS TRIAT. A former member of the church, an intelligent lady, who was expelled (or having ventured to remonstrate with Mr. Bott Jor what she alleges sho knew 'o be true, told the HxRatp correspondent that there 18 no prowpect of Bott being brought to atrial, She says that the majority of the charch members are women who are completely under Bott's influence, and that the gentlemen who bring the charges are in tho minority wnd powerless to doanything. Tne rules of the Bap- ‘ist Chorch are such that no trial of the minister of a congregation can take place unless demanded by a majgrity of the church members. lt requires a church council, which can only be called by the signa- tures of the majority of the members. When church trial dues take piace the test! mony of members only is admissible, Three yoars when Bots was tried by the deacons, tho only wit- 88 who had actual knowledge of his’ offences, it is refused ® bearing, Sho was a servant im Bott’s family, ana, it 1s alleged, was willing to make oath to immoral practices bh she bad seen in the minister's house doring the absence of his wife, PURLIC OPINION. Public sentiment in Kensington outside his church scems to be very strong against Mr, Hout. Some or the young men in the neighborhood deciare that he will have to Jeave, and that ‘if he won't go peaceably we It is possible that, even if | will that will run bim ou.” he a a trial in his church,” he be compelled to resign, it is satd throe yours ago, when the deacons smoothed over and acquitted Bots, he had an opporwun trieve his reputation, but nas not availed hime! 1b; hence bis unpopularity in the neighborhood. Tho story of Mr. Bott’s antecedents, the manner of his marriage with nis present wife and of their tamily connections, would be interesting reading; but if tho accused miais- ter is brought to trial the whove story will then come Out, and tt will then be @ better opportunity to publish: it, Itt a much more agreeavie duty for the Hrratp to await the action of the committee, who are en- deavori#g to give Mr. Bott an opportunity to prove his mnocence. HELD FOR ASSAULT. Witkesnaxkn, Pa., Oct, 16, 1876. John C, Wilifumson, an attaché of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company, to this city, and a school director in the First district, was to-day arrested on a warrant charging him with attempting to outrage the persons of Lizato Harris and Lizzie E.

SHOOTING A DEMOCRATIC COLORED ORATOR Attack of Negro Militia on the Whites at a Joint Political Meeting. Convumta, 8. C., Oct. 16, 1876, ‘The situation remains uncbanged, if the continued arrests of citizens in the counties of Aiken and Barn- well ts excepted. General Ruger, who is still here, is now regarded as the supreme authority in tho State, end the expression 1 common among the whites if Hampton ts not elected that the General will be the next ruler of the State. ANYTHING BUT THR THIRVES. “Give us anything but the corrupt government we have had for the inst eight years” is the cry. Ail tho counties im the upper portion of the Statearo being gradually occupied and garrisoned by troops, and this, together with the wholesale arrests and MIDNIGHT RAIDS by marshals and squads of soldiers, it 1! designed to intimidate the whites and keep the negro rote consoll- dated.

FISHING POR 4 COLLISION. It ts clearly evident trom the course of tho United States Marshal and the District Attorney that they are fishing for a collision with the troops and deputy mar- shals, which will give Governor Chamberlain or tho President an excuse to declare a portion of the State in insurrection, inaugurate martial law and defeat an election if possible. SHOOTING 4 DEMOCRATIO NEGRO, On Friday last @ party of democrats ieft Aiken for Rouse’s Bridge in that county, a place made famous as the sceno of one of the Iate Ellenton conflicts, to mect the republicans in joint discussion. The latter, as usual, refused to divide time, bat two democratic mogroes succeeded in addressing the meeting with some effect. - One of the negroes, Tom Elsey, made astrong democratic speech. On reaching his home, some miles distant, at night, aload of buckshot was fired into him as he entered nis gate, badly wounding him inthe thigh. He knows the party who shot bim to be a republican nogro, and an affidavit will be mado and the United States Commissionor requested to issue awarrant, Perhaps this may be considered a case coming under the Enforcement act too. PARTIALITY OF THE AUTHORITIES. Dr, Palmer, who has been inciting the negroes In the vicinity of Ellenton, and {s considered mainly respon- sible for tbe troubles there, and now widely known as “the Son of Christ,” was tho chief orator on the re- publican side, Noeffort, however, 1s mace by tho United States authorities to arrest or silence such persons as ho is, though they are well aware tho public peace is always likely to be disturbed by their incendiary speeches, CITIZENS SURRENDERING THEMSELVES. Two citizens, T. C. Courtney and Dr. Pierce Butler, hearing they wore wanted, and desiring that their families should not be alarmed by domiciliary visits, cameto tho Marshal on Saturday and surrendered themselves, and were bailed to appear at tho next term ef the United States District Court. This course has been in the main pursued by all citizens who havo been able to ascertain that their names were on the list in tho United States Marsbal’s hand. To-day twenty-eight persons, in the neighborhood of Rouse’s Bridge, learning their names wero on the Marshal’s list, cama into Aiken and surrendered themselves to Dr. Bardene, deputy mar- shal; and, though they were roady to give bail, they were locked up because United States Commissioner Boozer was not present to take the bonds, THE USE OF TROOrS. Detachments of troops went from Aiken to Beach Island, it 18 said, to guard a republican meeting from the interruption and intrusion of democratic orators, OUTBREAK AT A JOINT POLITICAL MEETING— ATTACK OF THE NEGRO MILITIA ON THE UN- ARMED WHITES—TWO KILLED AND FOURTEEN ‘WOUNDED, Cuarceston, Oct. 16, 1876. The joint canvass of Charleston county by the demo- crats and republicans, which bas been in progress for has resulted in a serious collision at Catn- about nine miles from here. It had been agreed that both whites and blacks should attend the meeting without arms During the speaking an al- tercation arose betwoen two individuals of opposite parties. ATTACK BY THN XEGRO MILITIA A shot having been dred by one of them, the negroes belonging to the State militia, and comprising the majority of the moeting, secured their muskets, which were secreted near by, and simultancously a volley was fired into the unarmed woites from bushes skirting a neighboring ravine. WHITRS KILLED AND WOUNDED. The whites being few in number and altogether un- prepared (o fight retreated to the steamer that had brought them from the city, but not defore two of their number had been killed and fourteen wounded. The dead were left on the ground in presenco of the ne- groes. WHITES GOING TO THE RESCUR. About eighty armed whites left the city this evening tor Cainhoy to recover the bodies and to afford pro- vection to tbe whites of that vicinity who are in dread of being attackea or burned ous. SOUTH CAROLINA POLITICS, REPUBLICANS 48 INTIMIDATORS—THREATS AGAINST BLACK DEMOCRATS AND INDEPENe DENTS. Arkxs, Oct. 13, 1876, To tux Eorror or tus HeraLp:— I enclose copies of two affidavits taken to-day to show how the republicans manage to keep a solid black vote in this State, Others will be taken shortly, here and ‘elvewhere, proving how negro men have been beaten and thatareign of terror exists. Even negro women appear around the polls and denounce any pogro who desires to vote other than tho straight party nominations, I asked my own servant a short time since, If convinced that it would be better for ai! classes to elect Hampton, would ho dare to vote for him? His reply was that he would have no peace if he did, for the rule was for every black man to vote with his party. Threats to use the torch are not uncommon, and a number of incendiary fires have occurred. Tho grist mill and gin of the democratic candidate for Sheriff were destroyed by fire a fow weeks ago. Thereare four roads leading trom his house to bis saw mill and to bis grist mill. Fearing assassination, he remained at home (when informed of the fire) until after daylight. Heartng a nome near the house one of bis friends red w gun; some one ran off; on gorng to ti millafter daylight it was found that each of the four roads had been picketed. He feels convinced that it was a premeditated and well laid plan on the part of his political enemies to waylay and kill him, Chamberlain’s passionate proclamation and Corbia's letter show how the game ot politics is played io this State, The Rifle and Sabre clubs which have veon ordered so peremptorily to disband have been formed for two objects—firrt, as an offset to the negro National Guard and asa moans of defence on the part of the whites; and, second, for social purposes, A significant sign of the times ts the fact stated by | hundreds of blacks are General Hagooa in bis report to Judge Wiggin, that within eighteen hours of the reception of the inteili- gence of the concentration of au armed vody of negroes near Ellenton, in this sparsely settled country, 1 Which there ure jess than ten whites to the square | 475 wen reported to him for duty.

The lax- ity in the ‘administration of justice is such that litte confidence is placed im the pun- ishment of criminals by law, especially 1 they are also active partisans of the dominant party. As the writer once beard a negro express his idea, “Wat's do use to (be) ‘long to de party if ho ain’t gwine to (pro) ‘tect yout? No ome has eon more outspoken than Governor Chamberlain himself as to the corruption which exists in every department of the goveroment of this State, consequently the whites feel much sater when these clubs are organized. It 1s considered by the negroes a Ligh crime and mis- demeanor for a black man to vote any osher than the straight ous republican ticket, and those who have ut- tompted to affiliate with the whites bave been drivea buck by the party lash. Heretofore it the whites at- tempted to protect the negro tn voting tor a democrat thero was a hue and cry raised that lo was a rebel.
