A DIsGRACEFUL RIoT.-Our peacenble
town was made On Wednesday night last
the scene Of n most disgracefnl riot. A
band of lawless, stupid leaguers, after
an adjourned meeting, in which they had
had the assistance and counsel of sundry
carpet-baggers. sailed out with n large
drum, and many of them armed with
pistols, shot.guns. etc., paraded the
streets uatil long after midnight, making
night hideous with yells, shouts, firing
of weapons, and offensive language.
One citizens house was struck with the
contents of n discharged gun, whether
accidentally or not, it is impossible to
say; the window glass broken, and his
family disturbed and driven from their
beds In wild alarm. Notwithstanding
the grievous character of this riot, no
interference was made on the part of our
citizens. We understand that threats
were made, too, that for every negro
hurt-they evidently looking for n col
lision-ten whites would be made to
suffer. In this rabbe we're one, if not
more. of Gov. Scott's loyal constables-
of whom there are billeted on the town
too many either for comfort, quiet, or
safefy-nnd one Of the same Governors
appointed magistrates. We demand of
Gov. Scott an investigation of this
shameful affair, and an interdict against
further occurrence. If few Of the
constables were removed perhaps it
would be better for the public peace.

The Northern papers, in commenting
upon the course of the House Commit
tee on Elections in refusing to go to
South Carolina to take testimony in the
matter of an election contest, speak of
several cases, while in fact there is but
one case, (that of A. s. Wallace against
w. d. Simpson, of the Fourth District
where neither party has been sworn in.
But IN this cnse, as in that of Hoge
against Reed, the committee decided.
and so reported to the House, that
Simpson was primd .fdcie entitled to tho
seat, and the matter is only open now to
take evidence to establish the legality of
Simpsons election-a matter about
which there is no doubt, and which will
give him the full legal, az we'll as prina
fdcic right to the seat. 1t will be re-
membered that the Committee on Elec-
tlons, to which was referred the claim of
5. Il. Hogo for n seat in the 41st Con-
gress from the Third Congressional Dis
trict of South Carolina, submitted re-
port in writing that upon the papers
referred to tho Committee on Elections
on the contested case of S. L. Hoge rs.
). Z. Reed, from the Third Congress
lonal District of South Carolina, S. L.
Hoge is primd /ucie entitled TO seat in
tho House as the representative of said
district, ,subjectto to the future action of the
House as to the merits of the case. This
was followed by Hogo being sworn in,
pending the real merits of the contest.
This comprises the whole situation.
