rhe ouestion 10 Be voted OF To.Day.

The Question 10 pc bOIeu on O"D"'
The people Of this State are called on u
vote today upon proposition to amend
the State Constitution The purpose o.
the amendment is two.fOld; first to re-
store the ballot to those now disfrsnchised
for their participation in the rebellion;
and second, to remove the discrimination
in the Constitution which limits the right
Of suffrage to "white" persons, and there
by make that instrument conform to the
XVIII Article of Amendment of the Con
stitution oil the United States.
The precise terms of the proposed
Amendment will be understood, we trust
from the following explanation. Section
of Article Ill Of the State Constitution
is now as follows:
/. The white male citizens Of the State
shah be entitled to vote at all elections
held within the election districts inwblch
they respectively reside, but no person
who is a minor, or OF unsOund mind, or q
pauper, or who is under conviction Of
treason, felony or bribery in an election,
or who has not been Il resident OF the
State for one year, and OF the county IN
which he offers to vote for thirty days,
shall be permitted to vote while such dtS,
ability continues. No PeSoH rh" ""eE M =,
lN day Of June, 1861, has gI1en, or %tI'
oiEe, polinLlrv aid or assistance to tue TtdeF
ion aqainSt lie L'nitcd States, shall Je a
citizen Of Ma STATE, or be dlL0tred TO cote at
anu tEciiOa Meran, unIeS he hGS UOluT'
heSod into tile military or ndUCI serriec q
he United States, and has Teen, or aIdR 6E,
h0n0rdJ{y discharged herJrom."
: The Amendment proposes to strike
that section out and insert in place of
it the following:
~. The male citizens Of the State shall
be entitled to vote at all elections held
within the election districts in which they
respectively reside; but no person who is
minor, or ofunsound mind, or pauper,
or who is under conviction OF treason,
felony or bribery in All election, or who
has not been a resident OF the State Tor
one year, and OF the county in which he
offers TO vote for thirty days, next preced.
ing such offer, shall he permitted to vote
while such disability continues"
The effect Of this, it will be perceived,
is to eliminate from the section as it now
stands in the constitution, those portions
which we have placed in italirS.
The negro already has right to vote in
this State by an authority which over
rides the denial Of it by State Constitu'
ton. He is voter now, and will con
tinue to be, whether our State Constitu
ton be amended or not. Practically
therefore, the only substantial question in
volved in the amendment Is that Of en-
franchising the ex.COniederates.

Troubles in York County.

We learn from our Columbia exclaan-
ges that letter has been received there
from Yorkville by aRadical member Of
the Senate, informing him that ten or
twelve barns and gin-houses and one
mill had been burned during last week,
and that thirty or forty mcn had been.
seized and whipped in consequence. a.
circular has also been posted threatening
ten colored and two white sympnthizers
with speedy death for every act Of in
cendiarism committed in the vicinity.
We fully endorse. an article OF the,
Charleston Ne,os, on the subject Of which:
the following is an extract:
."It is highly probable that the out
RACES rcportedto have been committed
in Yerk County are the work of the
band of disguised rut1lans, from. the
North Carolina liiie; who broke open
the Union County JAIL lynched the
prisoners, and returned to their-fastness-
es as swiftly and silently as they came.
Of this, however, we have at present no
proof. 1t is only certain that all classes
of people, in York County, are suffering
from the lawlessncss of a gang of dcs-
peradoes. The barns and 'gin-houses OF
the whites are burned down, while the
colored people are MANNED and beaten:
There appears to be no distinction Of
race or condition, and it is the duty OF
all good citizens, whatever their color
or affiliations, to unite. in a. determined
effoIt.to prevent further. disorder, and to
bring the offenders to speedy justice.

LARCENY. We LEARN that some ten
colored persons from the lower part of
the District were brought few days
since before Trial Justice EIcmphill,
charged with stealing two oxen, the
property. of DR., H. brennan, on last
Saturday night. The heads, tails and
feet were found on the"Marshal Farm, "
(the Government land) under eircum-
stances which implicated the parties ar
rested. After undergoing an examina-
ton, they were all released upon; recog-
nizance, except Ezekiel Williams, Moses
Williams and Calvert Jordan, who in
default of bail were committed to Jail.
(. Albert Frazier, colored, was also a few
days since brought before the same Mag
istrate, charged with stealing one half
bale of cotton, the property of the Rev.
Mr.. -slosn. He was releasedupon bail

THE Hor SUPPER At, CoKsBuRY.-
The hot supper ct Cckesbury on last
Friday evening; we learn, was very
pleasant and successful affair, with all
the agreeable acccssorios which make up
the enjoyment of such an occasion. So
say at least our youpg friends Messrs
John A Calhoun and Walter Gray, who
doubtless we'll representad our town Oh
the occasion, with.a heart to appreci-
ate and q capacity to enjoy. The supper
was sulnptuous}itbe ladies were lovely
and entertaining, and as a matter Of
course everything passed off pleasantly.

Governor Scott, it is well understood,
had t;keh the position that, if any bill
authorizing the issue Of bonds in aid OF

Of fraud and corruption, and that under
such circumstances he would regard it
As his duty TO refuse to sign the bonds.
Cnon this determination OF the Cover

talk among the parties interested ct get

State officials; but the knowing ores
at once objected that such al informali-

lh'. Editor The members of The
South Carolina Agricultural and Me
chanical Society, and the Stockholders
of the Joint Stock Company auxiliary
thereto, are summoned to assemble IN
Columbia, on Wednesday, the Sth, of
February at p. NJ. viii Abbeville
be ,represented.:: u II many respects Ab-
bevillc is second to no county in the
State, and especially so in her agrcultu-
raj enterprise. Her successful Fairs.
beyond doubt, entitle her to the credit
of being agriculturally the Banner
County of the State. Then SHOULD she
not be foremost in such meeting as
that proposed in Columbia OH the 9th
February:
At that meeting a comnNtee from
Charleston will appeal for division OF
the. profits and honors of our. annual
State Fairs between Columbia and the
'city by the Sea-" Are we prepared to
concedo this? If orr State Fair is to
become migratory, (Which I approve,)
should not Abbcvillc, once in three or
five years, be honorcd with visit?
Who can tell what changes are to be
effected in the next few years, if we
have remuncrative crops? In less than
ten years. our Agricultural, Joint Stock
Company'wiH+be the monied institution
of the county. It's stock will be in
demand, its grounds enlarged and orna-
mcnted, and every accommodation made
read y1foraH State Fair.
Moreover, such meetings as the one
proposed in Columbia is simply q vol
untary convention Of the representatives
of the real estate of South Carolina. II
will be delibcrative body whose inf1u-
ence will be felt all over the State.
Before them may come questions for
discussion involving vitality the material
Interests Of our State. For, this reason,
too, we should be represented. Will ycu
mot then appeal to our people, flo II sa'
vannah to$ Sa:udaA Rivers, to take on
interest, in this meeting? Let every
community, if it, he but u single share
ITO each man, and among themselves
appoint a proxy to represent then, in
this meeting. It is to be hoped that
return tickets will be given free to all
delegates by thHyarious railroads of the
State. Let Abbeville send at least o
score of delegates to Columbia on We'd
nesday, Sth February.
