Popular Support OF Governor Scott.
The anti-Radical press OF the State, with
out exception, speak in deservedly high
terms OF Governor Scott's special message
upon the troubles in the up-country, and
from all sides come assurances that, if he
will stand firm In his opposition to violence
and fraud, Governor Scott will receive the
commendation and support Of the white
people of the State. The following extracts
Indicate the tone of the principal interior
papers
[From the Lancaster Ledgerl
| We are not an admirer of the Governors
political course; but in 30 far as he acts for the
welfare of the whole people we sanction those
acts. We are pleased to note the conservative
policy adopted by the Executive In. the set
tlement of these difficulties.
From the Anderson Intelllgencerl
Governor Scott he's administer \ just re-
buke to that reckless spirit which seems to
have animated the leading members of the
| House of Representatives, In demanding mar
tlal law and an equipment of The militia as
remedies tor these unfortunate troubles. Let
| Governor Scott have the nerve to do what
was promised two months ago, and when The
militia arms are safely deposited in the State
armory, the best and most influential citizens
all over the ''up-country" will more readily
support and maintain his efforts to. protect the
person and property of the most humble clti-
zen. Until this menacing cause Is entirely re-
! moved, Governor Scott must chiefly rely upon
bis State officials, and only receive tacit sup
port elsewhere.
From the Abbevl!le Press.l
In the midst Of the Legislative clamor at Co.
lumba calling for hasty and ill.advlsed action,
1t is gratifying to find the Executive assuming
so conservative policy. and arraying the
power OF the government in support OF the
| law.
from the Barnwcn SentInell
The late message Of Governor Scott on the
.up-country troubles is admirable In Its tone
and spirit, and administers just rebuke to
the lawless men in the Legislature, who seem
anxious to bring on collision.
.[From the Camden Journal.l
The spirit and temper or the document Is
highly commendable, and we do not hesitate
to say that It will be received by all good oltl-
zens as Indicative of desire on the part OF
the Governor to do justice TO our people, and
he will be heartily assisted In his efforts TO
conserve the peace by the arm Of civil au-
thorlty by all who love the quiet Of South Car
lima.
From the Edgedeid Advertiser.
The latest news informs us that Governor
Scott refuses to declare martial law In Union,
Spsrtanburg, &C., because "all cases reported
s'of violence are individual, none having as
s'sumed the character of public combna-
"tons against the law. Consequently they
''are within the regular Jurisdiction Of criminal
courts Governor Scott is riyht-mlnded
this time at all events.
From the YUrkyille EnQurer.l
According to our information, the Governor
Is pursuing wise course, and We hope that h e
will stand firm, despite tho clauOr of those
who seem to prosper only by turbulence and
tha engenderlng Of strife between the blacks
and whites.
From the Greenvile Mountaneer.l
| IN the stand which Governor Scott h IS taken
In this matter, he has fallen uuder the ban of
the more violent Of his own party; but he de-
serves and will receive the commentator and
support of oil good men of the State, of what
ever party.
From the Union Times.i
Governor Scott speaks boldly to the nfurl-
ated majority of the Legislature, and if he will
stand firm In his present independent and
wise position, he will soon find the true
people-the Intelligent, moral and property
owning portion OF the State-gaLherins around
and supporting him. He has taken steps In
the right direction, and we invite all good citi-
zens to meet and encourage him.

disposition TO deal with things according to
common sense and justice. x: all su ch efforts
on The part of his Excellency be met promptly
and efficiently by all COOL and true men, to
the end that peace may accrue, and our coun-
try again be prosperous.
From the Winnshoro' NeEsl
1t ~ not only In his effort to secure proper
administration OF the law that Governor Scott
deserves commendation; the correspondent Of
the Chsrles,o on NEWS tells us tbHt he now stands
the only faithful guardian Of the treasury, and
that the abuse he s now receiving within his
own party ls due to his firm resistance to
schemes Of dishonesty, robbery and plunder,
to which he cannot be- induced TO give his con-
