Congressman Elliott, of South Carolina,
submitted yesterday an address to the
American people. 1t asks for more perfect
recognition of the cOlored people in work
shops and all other industrial pursuits, that
they may become proficient in mechanical

workmen Of inferior capacity; and asks
from Congress aid for the education of poor
children South. 1t demands one standard
of duty or policy for all citizens. 1t affirms
that cOlOred citizens have no desire to strike
a line of action not common to the whole
people, and concludes with a hope for the
speedy abolition of slavery in every part OF
the world.

Charles O'COnor said TO-DAY the work of

getting on well. The facts gained show
that many who now think they are safe

many in the belief of being perfectly Sc
cure win be surprised by finding themselves
in the grasp of the law, and in such de-
graded position that neither money or in
fluence will have the slightest effect in pro-
curing their release. So certain is the work
that even if the enemy knew all the move
mentS of the attacking party they could not
help being overthrown.

more distant fight.

section Of the State, and depredations are
being committed on the property of the
citizens who have fed by negroes and other
evil-disposed persons.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-Adyices re-
ceived here from South Carolina state that
at Spaltanburg, on Wednesday evening last
a ku-Klux band, consisting of the chief and
twenty members, surrendered to United
States Marshal johnson, with their arms
and disguises. Up to Friday morning sew
enty arrests had been made i'm the vicinity
of that town alone. Spartanburg is known
to be the headquarters for that Congress
siOnal District. Arrests have been made
in other counties, but the number is not
known here.
Attorney-General Akerman is still with
Col Merrill. A number of well-known
citizens are missing, including Lyle, a men,
Der of the Legislature, who is known to be
the Chief of the Kan for that district.
Among those who have disappeared are two
or three clergymen, known for their strong
rebel proclivities.
The officers of the law are proceeding
steadily with their work, and, before the ar
rests are all made, they will, it is affirmed,
show the existence of deep and wide con-
spiracy against the State, the laws and all
who sustain them. Most of the Ku-Klux
refugees are known to have fed to Georgia,
where the Order is quite strong. The
Grand CyclOp for that State is believed to
be son-in-law of Robert TOombs.

THE MOST POPULAR LADY.
On Friday evening the votes of all the
visitors were taken to decide who was the
| most popular lady on the fair ground.
Miss Flora Heatherington having secured a
plurality of those cast, was presented with
| a magnificent silver pitcher worth twenty
five dollars. Miss Heatherington is one of
those ladies whose goodness and selfsacri-
| Southern cause endeared her TO thousands
of persons in Montgomery county, and her
success ON this occasion demonstrates the
truth of the old adage, that justice, though
! sometimes slow, seldom fails to reward the
deserving in the end. Miss Huldah War
| field and Miss Jennie Binford, of Ruther-
ford county, received highly complimentary
votes. We trust the compliment thus
paid to one of the fair daughters of
old Rutherford may be the means
of strengthening the bonds of amity and
good fellowship which also exist between
the counties, and may induce the daughters
| of the one, and the SONS of the other, to
enter into still closer relations, until the two
counties may appear like binary stars in
the armament of our glorious old State.
