Nkw JAiL-PRrsoNERs EsCApED.-On Thurs
day Of last week, the people ofour county seat
were surprised to learn that all the prisoners in
the new Jail (six) had escaped. A saw had
been procured and the iron bars were sawed
off from one end Of the ventilator in the floor,
and it was than, by main strength OF the six
prisoners, raised I'D and broken off at the oth-
er end. This enabled them to reach the cellar,
from whence they reached the street without
much trouble. No fault can attach to the Jail
for that, by the Judgment of all who have ex-
ahmed it, was deemed safe, and this would
have been verified had Sheriff Ballenger been
trihc more vigilans and strict combining them
to their cells and searching them for any tools
that their friends, who We're permitted to visit
them. might leave in their possession. A Jail
fifty times the strength Of ours, and costing
five times as much, if prisoners were furnished
the proper tools, they effect their escape
quite as easily as these did on Thursday night
last, and the cry raised against the efficiency
of the Jail and the public servants under whose
adu(Aistration it was erected, is all beSh and
nonsense. Eternal vigilance is not only the
price of liberty, but it is the only thing that
will keep prisoners 10, the BEST ofjsils some>
times.

In a Nutshell.

A correspondent of the Sumter Hatchnan
gives the annexed reasons why he shall vote
with the Union Reform, party in the coming
election:
l. Our State Government. according to the
Republican press of the State, is very cor
rupt.
is not POLITICAL but moral. Ignoring all podti-,
cal issues, it seeks only to reform the morals of
the State Government.
8. In rallying with the honest and good men
of the State, hold my political opinions in
allegiance, with no sacrifice of principle.
f. There are but two parties in the State.
Not to vote at all, will be to give counten-
ance to the prevailing corruptions of the dom
inant party.
5. Judge Carpenter stood, not only uncen-
sured by the Republican party, but Was its pride
and boast, up to the time of his joining the
Union Reform party, and has certainly done
nothing worthy of censure since.
6. Judge Carpenter is undoubtedly man of
intellectual ability, and if elected, will be associ-
atcd with gentlemen whose moral purity will be
a sufficient guarantee of his moral uprightness.
Z. The colorcd and white people of the State
are too far separated. Their mutual interests
require that they should unite and form one
party, and this is what the Union Reform party
proposes.

KEEp IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE.

On the 18th day of March, 1870, Judge James
L. Orr was interviewed by correspondent OF
the New York Tribune, and gave utterance to
the following severe denunciation OF the Rad
ical party, with which he is now associated:
saThe results of the last three years have sat-
isfed the people that all the present evils OF
which they complain might have been averted
byshowing to the colored voters that they intend
To- maintain their new rights. Large numbers
of the best men in South Carolina are even now
willing to espouse Republican principles, and
would doubtless do so but for the distrustach'ch,
as gentlemen of character and Intelligence Mey
,oturay entertain tocard those scho, by accident
al circumstances hare been placed in the lead OF
the Republican party-msn 'eho do not, and
never did enjoy public confidence; men '7ho are
ignorant, corrupt, dishonest and unfit, by reason
of their early associations for decent society
They we're adroit enough, however, to make the
more ignorant among the negroes believe them
to be their best friends, and By employing aIthe
arts of tie demagogue, and an unscrupul0u' use
esdsgraseful agencies, they succeeded in beng
elected to, the asoss iaportant Offices IN the
State"

GRANITEv1LLE, September II, Il

CrRANITEVILLE, september II, 1oiU.
DEAR SIR: The Sumter Ne,cs, some weeks
ago, alluding to General Butler and myself
said, in substance, that Judge Bacon, nominee
for Congress of the Union Reform party an.
nounccd in speech at Edgefcld G. II. "that
he was as Radical as Governor Scott 1t is not
astonishing that Radical Congress under the
circumstances, made haste, by special act, to
relieve Judge Bacon of his political disabili-
tics"
l did not deem it necessary, at that time, to
reply to the article above alluded to- My
friends and those who heard the speech referred
to were satisfied that had made no such iso-
lated remark.
While at this place (Granitevillc,) however,
have been advised that in some parts of the
Congressional District, this matter needs cxpla-
nation.
The honorable gentleman who reported the
proceedings of the Edgeteld meeting will 90
me the justice to say that he did net even in
tend to make cerbatim report of my speech !;
and that the remark referred to by the NeWs
was used entirely in regard to the fifteenth
amendment. was endeayoring to substanti-
ate the idea that the Reform movement was not
a new one and said in effect that REFORM was,
and had been for the last ten years. the watch
word of the civilized world; that the great king
doms of the Orient were seeking it, and the
giant republic of the Occident demanding it;
that it had eliminated in the United States in
the fifteenth amendment to the constitution,
and that, so far as the provisions of that amend
ment were concerned, L was just as good Radi-
cal us Governor Scott; meaning, OF course, that
inasmuch as that amendment had been incor-
poratcd into the constitution Of the United
States, thereby becoming portion of the fun
damental law OF the land, we were all, whether
Democrats Republicans, CT Radicals, bound to
obey it.
might say much more, in regard to the re-
marks of the Nc,cS, ard especially in regard to
the tone of its article, but forbcar TO do so at
present, as l write by the wayside and ncccs-
sarily in an unsatisfactory manner. Moreover,
l do not regard the present proper time for
elimination and rccrimination.
have the honor to be, very respectfully,
your obedicnt servant,
JOHN f. BACON.

- Judge Merrick, Democratic candidate for

JOHN Z. BACON.

Intelligence of startling character comes
from Eastern Europe, which, if true, will
change the whole aspect of the present conflict.
Russia, it is said, is in motion TO seize the Black
Sea and the Dardanelles, and war between the
Car and the Sultan is believed to be imminent.
There is evidently something very disquieting
to the European powers on foot. Austria and
Italy, as we'll as Russia, are massing their ar
mics on their frontiers, and there appears to be
a perfect accord between the three nations.
Great Britain is vigorously employed in ship
ping military supplies and troops to Gibralta
and Malta.
Nothing further of reliable character has
transpired respecting Jules fnvrcs interviews
cial organ published at Berlin, contains copies
of the not notes recently addressed by the Chanccl-
lor to the diplomatic body in Berlin. He says
that Germany will require Strasbourg and Metz
as material guarantees against new attack
by France" and repudiatcs any idea of German
intervention for the reorganization Of that
country.
The news from Paris is mcagre. The state
mcnt that Il battle Of some magnitude was
fought on Thursday south of the city is not
confirmed. Communication with the interior
of Paris is very uncertain, and news purport-
ing to come from there is not always genuine.
1t is said that the French have abandoned the
fortifcations at Vincennes, also that the Prls-
slams have already built railroad around
Paris. If the latter statement is correct they
have performed an uncxamplcd fcatin engineer
ing.
Tours is nov threatened by the Uhlans, and
the alarm is so great at Orleans that haste is
being made to put the place in Il state of de-
fence. There is some belief that the Prussans
will send flying columns through the republic
for forage, and that Lyons, Havre and Cher
bourg will be visited. A force of $4,000 Ger
man cavalry is expected 70 arrive from the
Rhine for this purpose

Tuesday afternoon, when the negroes ana
whites dispersed. co.
On Tuesday night company of about fifty
negroes arrived in this village, but were q,llet.
On that day Joe Crews addressed crowd at
Bryson's and it is reported ordered a general
rendezvous of every negro that could crawl TO
the Court House on that night. ,
During Wednesday large crowd assembled
and fingered during the day, around the quar-
ters of "Joe," where the arms of the militia
are stored.
The negroes say that it is Governor ScotPs or
ders, that whcnevera negro has difficulty with
a white man, and the negro is supposed on, they
are to burn and kill for five miles square
Their leaders have instilled it into their minds
that arms are put into their hands to destroy
the white man, and they say the white man has
no law for his protection, and no right to bear
arms The whites are firm and cautious, and
intend only to defend themselves and families
Scott, of course, will proceed against us as
rebel Ku Klux Under such government as
that of Scott, no remedy is left the citizens but
courage, forttude and prudence.
1t is proper to state that in the shooting affair
on Sunday night, lit occurred at an early hour
of the night, the negroes we understand, assert
that the whites fired first.
On Thursday morning, the large force OF ne
groes assembled about Crews arms depository
quietly dispersed.
