ADDITIONAL WARNINGS.
r. z. Scott, BOGUS Gooernor, not representing
the uhaIe people of ttis Stdte-neoer:
SrR: You may continue and fill the position
Of Governor under the impression that mill
tary law has done its work too efeotually for
our people ever to cast it aside, and undo all
reconstruction as well as all military laws;
And can but hope that all who have taken a
conspicuous part in trying to humiliate the
people of the South, under negro Radical rule,
will (not far in the future) be made to feel the
penalty Of sound constitutional law, severely
administered by true ,chite men OF the State and
country. Your career will be as short lived as
you could well wish it, and much shorter. just

The above was mailed from Newberry Court
house July 18,. and addressed ''His E1oellency
B. Z. Scott, Esq" The Governor showed it to
somo Of his friends as political curiosity. Said
friendssaw in it the elements Of Q flrst-class
campaign document, and using DeLarge as
stool pigeon, determined to invest it with el 1.-The
blue light and pyrotechnic effect Of newly dis
covered mine Of rebellion. Nobody believed in
it's authenticity; no one imagined that any
real danger was concealed in the sulphurous
eloquence Of the unfathered epistle; but the
letter was God-send nevertheless, and a
secret session was determined on for the pun.
pose Of considering the mysterious. communi-
cation, and Of impressing on the public mind
that the Legislature of South Carolina was in
danger of being Immediately bcmbarded by
the Ku-Kux-Klan.
Accordingly, at an appropriate hour, the
business Of the day being disposed Of, DeLarge
made the motion, the lobbies were swept Of
spectators, the reporters were elected, and the
frightful missive was read to the horror-strick.
en- representatives. How much hair stood on
end, during this process, has not yet been de-
initelY ascertained; how much courage was
evoked by the abominable threats Of the un-
terrified Newberry rebel, can be measured by
no moral thermometer We wot Of; but it is un-
derstood that during the interval occupied in
the discussion, there we're several patriotic de-
donations well calculated to alright the most
caIlous heart, and display Of temper remote
ly suggestive Of manslaughter in the first de-
gree. To all this verbal blood and thunder,
one Of the Democrats on the floor of the House,
speaking for his companions, responded with
the brief remark that his party were not re-
sponsible for the crazy ebullitions Of any indi-
vidual; that the people Of the State demanded
the settlement OF the issues of the hour in but
one way, namely, at the ballot box; and that
neither on the floor nor of the floor would the
sensible people of South Carolina counsel the
employment OF force to settle mere differences
Of political opinion.
This declaration appeared to exercise a Mrs.
Winslow's soothing syruppy influence on the
perturbed imaginations Of those who were not
in the secret Of the movement, and the secret
session was soon dissolved.
l. The long and short Of the whole matter is,
that the shrewd managers OF Radical influence
found in the document precisely what they
wanted for double purpose. First, something
to show that South Carolina is one OF the most
fearfully unreconstructed States in the Union
or ont oft, consequently that Republicans are
all patriots; and secondly, that a colored mi
Little must be Immediately organized and armed
for their protection.
The last has already been discovered to be
the most delicate point with which the Legis-
lature have to deal. White Republicans are
opposed to especially those who have lived
in the State, and know the intiammatory ele-
ments which exist; while on the other hand
there is strong pressure from the constituent
cy outside for permission to bear arms and be
considered as part OF the army Of South Caro-
lima. OF course goodly number Of Offices are
to be distributed in the organization, and party
power and influence is to be extended. This is
part Of the milk in the cocoanut.
A very natural result of the Newberry letter
will be the introduction Of bill for the speedy
formation OF the militia, and the question will
thus be fairly sprung before the Legislature.
How much argument the foolish document has
furnished in behalf Of such measure will
readily be perceived.
The unfortunate part of the matter is that
the letter is tonight being printed for circula-
ton at the North, and no man will deny that it
will be accepted by the already prejudiced
masses Of that section as an evidence Of the
iniquity and general diabolism which prevails
in this State. It makes no difference that
the Newberry delegation when questioned
declared they knew no such individual as VII
