EDITOR STAR: The most deplOrable act of
"ku kluxisn" has recently occurred IN this
county. at Bowling Green, a thriving village
in the dark corner.
An old negro by the name of Dick Lump
kin, noted for his accomplished Radical
attainments and claiming that the mystieal
art of conjuratiOn had been handed down
to him in regular line from some noted Saint
of Afric's sunny cline, was surrounded st
night by party of the dreadful ku klux.
There happened to be with old Dick young
negro man, who responded to the summons
to come out. With a ID. b. Gun, and with
dreadful sorrowful accuracy, one of the ter
rible Ku Klux was brought down; and on
investigation it was found to be a negro-a
brother Radical. And right here comes in
the mourning and sadness which has cast a
gloom over the entire Radical element-not
for the death of the negro, but that it was
a negro-ths general impression being that
you could not make a Ku Klux out of Rad
ical. My idea has always been that conju-
ration and Radicalism are the only elements
out OF which Ku kluxism originates. Our
Jail now accommodates thirty-two of the
dreadful Ku Klux-all negroes and Radicals
for the arrest of whom our much admired
Governor will fork over the five thousand.
Respectfully yours,

CHARLESTON, S. c. Sept. Z.
Twenty-six Of the most prominent citi-
Zens OF Spartansburg county, including the
United States Commissioner. United States
Assessors Probate Judge. Sheriff, Clerk OF
Court and County, Representatives of both
branches OF the Legislature publish over
their own signatures the following letter:
''SPARTASBURG, s. C, Sept. Z.
TO Hon. John Scott, Chairman Ku Klux
Committee:
I'VE, the undersigned, citizens of said
state and county, having seen through the
newspapers that you had received state
ments and affidayits that outrages upon va
county since the Committee OF which you
are the chairman left the said county, and
that you had thereupon recommended the
proclamation of martial law in this county,
feel constrained to make the following
statement: We have made dilgent inquiry
and have been unable to hear Of single
outrage having been committed in this
county since your Committee left it. On the
contrary, this county Is in a state OF pro-
found peace and quiet"
The Spartan in publishing the above
says:
This statement ought to be sufficient to
prove to the mind of Senator Scott that he
has been imposed upon by the communica-
ton and affidavit upon which he founded
his statement made to the President, and
his recommendation that IN artial law be de-
clared in this county. Furthermore, we
learn that leading Radicals here admit that
no outrages have occurred in Spartansburg
county since the committee were here"

A correspondent Of the Memphis
Appeal writes:
The political canvass has begun in earnest,
and We (DemOcrats) are sanguine of success
in the coming fall election. This county
has but two Radical candidates for Office,
and they are for the petty offices of the
county, and they will hardly be noticed in
the election. 1t is even thought that their
votes will be so few that they will be lost in
the bSllot-bOX; so you see the chance for a
Radical in this county Is "gOne up"
Messrs. Stricklin, Alexander and Boyd,
are candidates for the Legislature, the two
former opposing candidates for the upper
house, and the latter for the lower house,
all clever, high-toned and Democratic gen.
tlemen. They are canvassing the county,
making speeches and warning the people
against the conniving and raseally designs
of the Radicals.

1t is with more than ordinary pleasure
that we to-day announce that the City Rail-
road Company have commenced business IN
earnest. Capt Jas. A. Hoskins, the contrac-
tor, was yesterday occupied in locating the
line along Capitol street. and he informed
US that all the timbers, cross-ties, bridge
and tressel-work, were completed and in
readiness to ship from his mills az Brook
haven. The line, as heretofore stated, Is To-
Gated along the south side of Capitol street,
separate from the wagon bridge. From
that point to West street there will be a con-
siderable up grade for the present, but IL Is
hoped and believed that the growing enter
prise of the city will soon show the neces-
sity of properly leveling the grade by
clearing away the top of the hin there and
filling up the street below. A car load of
iron for the track arrived yesterday, and an
other is expected to-day, and two elegant
cars are expected from the shops in Cincin-
natl in day or tive. SO you see they mean
business. or Capt. IIoskins, the cOntrac-
tor, we must say, that he is one of the most
thoroughly practical and energetic business
men in our State, familiar with everything
