beggary and ruin before u.s. brought about by tho
"Oyal" men, who only want the use OF United States
troops protect them in their robberes you would not
that the hunted stag would turn upon his pursuers The
same trckery that has made the people OF South Caro-
lima flies in the claws OF spiders is at work before the
Committees in Congress. The Ku-Klux said to be
formidable organization existing all over the South bat
tho fact il theg do not exist at all IN this state except in
four or five counties and in those few counties they
ton. The remainder OF the people OF this whole
state perfectly quiet and law-abing and hear OF
these occasional outbreaks with much surprise
do But cannot deny that they are deeply dissatisfied
with the administration Of State affairs for they feel
that under the present depotsm there Is no future for
them and their families but beggary Above all things
they want peace and harmony We have no troubles at
all except the barbarous treatment we have 10 submit
to from tho State officials. They have no mercy upon
our poverty but wanOnly increase the taxes as our
all this would pass away very soon, and have borne
quietly all the suherings thus entaied upon u.s. but It
now seems that there IL no hope for better things In the
future This has made OF the people desperate and
hence these outbreaks But altogether deny that they
are general any way connected with the Rebel
and affirm that the people or South Carolina sincerely
desire to prove themselves faithful TO the Government or
the United States. G. W. D.
