correct the Reformers have majority Of from

Correspondence received from Rouen, dated the

strongly fortified the gap between Mont Valerlan

1t is reported that the Prussians occupying Or
leans are committing such excesses that IL Is be-
lIeyed they are on the point Of leaving that place,
and are stermned to leave nothing to the lnhabl-
rants. The PrussIans have been hastily sending
towards Peris enormous quantities OF cattle and
sheep and large supplies Of forage.
Instances Of extreme cruelty by the Prussians
towards the Francstlreurs are related from all
parts OF the country, which make the latter des-
perste and determined to take no prisoners.
over thirty Pruasian spies, arrested In different
parts OF France, were brought here to-day.

rFRoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENCE
COLUMBIA, Saturday, October

Lexington County gives Reform majority Of
full 400, and easily elects Its county ticket There
is some danger OF one members being beaten by
there being two Independent candidates in the
field: but moderate men are certain Of che entire
county delegation There are said to be about one
hundred white Radical votes In the entire coun-
ty. White vote turned out in full strength. The
census Of 1859 gives Lexington 8Sl majority Of
white voters; but this difference is thought to be
two great.
THE RADICAL KU-KLU4.
have information OF the working Of some more
Radical Ku.Kluxes in the vicinity Of Limestone
Springs in Spartanburg County. Two Spartan.
burg trial justices have written to his Excellency
TO ask II It would not be we'll to put the northeast
corner of that county under martial law. We ex.
pect here that his Excellency has had enough OF
that, and that he will let well enough alone, both
now and for the future. Our people are in dead
earnest now, and Governor Scott knows 1t.
RADICAL RAscALITY.
Last night upon receipt OF the nsws: :from the
disturbance In Laurens, the negro companies Of
this city-or some of them-turned out and posted
sentInels about the Statehouse. These The Governor
had mot authorized; and so sosn as be learned 1t,
Issued orders for them to disperse. Ihave certain
information that the Governor has Issued an order
forbiddlng all paradlng without direct orders from
hIm) in the streets, eud has orderedfhe arrest OF
any OF these militia men who shall appear In uni.
form upon the streets Of Columbia Last night at
the fire burning Of Mr.. Davis house)s some Of the
colored militia were seen to hold up catridgea, say
Ing that they (the cartrdges) were the best peace
makers. This was related to Governpr Scott, and
received his unqualified condemnation.
The fact Is his Exeellency ls nowluny awake

US and upon him.

The Press Conference.

The conference of the anti-Radical press
of South Carolina will be held in Columbia
on Wednesday next, the 10th instant, as
previously announced. Most of the leading
papers in the State will certainly be repre-
sented, and, as it is understood that the
meeting is held for consultation and confer
ence not for making or unmaking any party
platform there is no reason why every Oppo-
sition paper in the State should not be pre-
sent. AS we have said before, the meeting
may be made the means Of a great and per-
manent benefit to all our people. We, there
FORE again urge. our antl-Radical contempo-
raries not to fail to attend.

A Year of Grant.

The leading political journals OF the North
are reviewing the first year OF President
Grants term, and comment variously upon
its real or supposed fruits. The Democratic
papers point e1ultantly to the wretched fail
ure of reconstruction at The South, to the
burdens of taxation under which the people
groan, to the utter prostration of the ship
ping interest, to the unsatisfactory aspect OF
our foreign relations, and to the shameless
corruption that prevails in every department
of the government, and ask whether these
are the promised blessings of Radical ad-
ministration. The New York Tribune, and
papers of the same ilk, on the other hand
shout over the final settlement OF the negro
question by the adoption OF the Fifteenth
amendment, the assumed reduction OF the
public debt, the strength Of the national
credit, and, above all, the recent tumble in
gold, coolly assuming, as an effect OF the
supremacy of Radical men and measures, a
result which is due exclusively to the extent
of the production and expectation OF the
great Southern staples. But the most can
did, remarkable and significant opinion OF
President Grant is that given by the able
and independent New York Sun, which will
be found in another part Of to-day's paper.
1t will be pleasant reading for the Radical
odr,;rora of Tur NREs

"Forty Thieves"

The following paragraphs are published as
coming from the Marion Star:
stThere was company Of representatives In
the last Legislature known as the '''Forty
Thieves composed, as we are informed, OF
both Democrats and Radicals, who could be
bought and sold for any price, from s25 up
wards, according to the position one held as
commissioned or noI-commissioned officer or
private. This company had captain, three
lieutenants, four sergeants, four Corporals and
twenty-eight privates. We learn that the cap
tain was Democrat from one of the upper
counties. IL has reach
ed our ears that some of our Democratic neigh
bors from the Republic of Horny belonged to
this company, and we beg to inform them that
we intend to track this game to Its haunts,
and as soon as treed, Horny will hear us bark.
We are 10th to believe the report, and we
gently throw out this hint, that Democratic
members from that county may know what is
flying about.
s.If these things be so, and men in whom we
had confidence have become corrupt, we can
only ask, upon what does the future of our once
proud little State depend ?"
We do not believe that there is word Of
truth in the charge suggested against the
Democratic members of tho Legislature.
That the band of ''forty thieves" does exist
we do know, but only the plainest and clear
est evidence will convince US that any De-
mocrat had anything to do with.it We have
but one code Of ethics, whether the culprit
be 'Wicked Ben" or an up-country Dem o.
crat; and we now call upon the Star to say
who are the Democrats whom it suspects,
and what are the proofs against them.

A Hint for the House.

That was neat point made by the Louis
vile Commercial, Radical paper, in con-
nection with the assumed intention OF Col
laday, who resigned his seat in Congress to
escape expulsion, to go before his late con-
stituents for reelection. 1t says: ':Spw, if
che should succeed in reelection, the
"House would have right to expel him, not
'for the second, but for the first time. " 1t
seems to US that this sentence might have
been written expressly to fit the case OF our
own "Wicked Ben" In his behalf we beg
to repeat the suggestion, and commend it to
the consideration OF honorable representa-
tiyes.
