BAD NEWS FROM YORK.
THE EFFORT TO MAINTAIN PEACE.
Ku-Klux on the Rampage.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEWS

COLUMBIA, January 20.
Reports of Ku-Kluying in York County are
rife here. Letters have been received by Rad
icals stating that ten or twelve barns and gin
houses have been buraed during the last week,
and that forty colored men have been whipped.
There are fears of an outbreak, and the White
citizens are guarding the town every night.
Ku.Klux resolutions have been posted, stating
that in cases of incendiarlsm, ten prominent
colored men and two white men will be shot,
and that in case armed bands patrol the roads,
the officers will be executed.
Great excitement exists here. Senator
Rose, accompanied by one or two discreet
persons, will visit the county tomorrow for
the purpose of carrying out the policy of the
Governor, as announced in his message.
Mobley brings intelligence OF more whip
pings in Union, but he is unable. and declines,
to prove them.
On Friday, the finance committee Of the
Senate recommended the filing Of the blank
in the bill to make appropriations for the per
diefn and mileage Of members with lone hun
dred and twenty-five thousand dollars" This
amount will probably be cut down to eighty
thousand In the House.

Some Of the Paris balloons, taken by unfaVora-
ble winds, have been blown over to Norway Tile
Gazette, Of Gottenburg, Of December l, says that
q balloon without passengers fell in the neghoor-
hood OF the little town OF Krodshered. The simple
inhabitants OF the place were at first greatly u.s.
tonished by the appearance in the air o. balloon
"a thing which they had never seen before. IL
came along, gradually sinking, until 1t landed oe'
TO the door OF an amazed and terrified peasahr.
There it lay, half full OF gas, and rolling ABOUT
with peculiar rattle, as II it were completely eN-
haustcd arler a long voyage. The innocent peas
ants kept for time at respectful distance; out
they soon discovered that the object OF their rear
and astonishment was only "a stray balloon from
Paris. 1t contained three large letter bags lieu
with chains. Two Of them were in perfect con-
dlti0n, but the third was torn open. the con-
tents OF this bag were Of little Importance, con-
slsting only Of q number Of old newspapers. In
the Car were six fine healthy pigeons, bag con-
tanning several articles Of toilet, some under
clothing marked E. c. NJ. and R. NJ, Scotch
plaid, an officers cap, ands an electric battery.
The fate OF the poor yoyagers remains mystery.

We feel convinced that Governor Scotts
statement, so far as he Is individually concern
ed, is true That he conversed with the men,
he acknowledges; bnt the further fact that
when the messenger from the gold mines
visited him and disclosed the state OF affairs,
he Immediately sent United States marshal
anG had them removed out of the State, Is
strong proof 10 our,mind that he knew nothing
of the infamous design OF Crews and Baker.
and that this pair of gallows-deserving scoun.
dres were alone in the murderOus plot, and
they alone should be Immediately arrested and
made to answer for 1t. With all Governor
Scotts faults, we cannot think he Is such
fool as to engage in a scheme that would so
surely be discovered and 80 completely ruin him
and Ills party, morally and politically; nor do
we think him capable Of premedltating or coun-
tenancing such murderous act. Again we say,
we take Governor Scotts statement, or, as far
as he Is concerned, as q true and honest YER
sion of the affair; but we do believe that
Crews and Baker did hire the men to come to
South Carolina, and, when they arrived ID
Columbia, made the proposition and laid the
McCurly..Gf Laurens; David Gist, jasper Gibbs,
Asa Smith, j. Rice Rogers, Henry West and
Samuel Sumner, Of Union. The man that will
encourage negroes to steal and burn, as Crews
did before the election, would hire men to
murder the best citizens of the county. and
this Is the man put forward Dy tne Legislature
to investigate tile riot he instigated, and is one
OF the foremost TO sit in judgment upon the
Impeachment Of Judge Vernon. Such fellow.
as q leader. or even an equal Of the colored
people, Is but. mockery of decency and COM
mon honesty. So long as such men. are coun-
tenanced by any class, and permitted to par
ticipate in our legislative councils, there can
be no hone for peace at home or respect
abroad, Crews has now proven himself 10 be
capable oil aiding and abetting every species
of crime In the decalogue, and those who
affiliate or associate with him will bear close
watching by oil honest people.
The Evidence AcoumuIating.
We find the following editorial paragraph In
the Unionville Times:
While In Columbia last Tuesday, one OF the
most honorable and best men Of that city as
sured us that while the Crews and Baker,
New York men, were at Roses Hotel, IN Co
lumbia, on their way TO Union, the following
remarks were overheard between them anu
some parties now in Columbia:
New Yorker-"I am not murderer, anu
did not come here to commit murder"
Voice. we'll known-"Hand me pistol.
Now. Cd d-n you, pack up your duds and
leave In five minutes. II you don't I'll blow
your id brains out"
We NAV not have quoted the exact words
used. but they are so near as to mean exactly
what was said. All of this deviish plot Is In a
fair way of being fully disclosed, under solemn
oaths. We intend using every effort to ferret
it out, in order to get at the truth and fasten
the guilt upon the right parties.

MORE LIGHT ON Il DARK SUBJECT.
Startling Statements frc,n Union.

Startling Statements frcm Union,
The Unionville Times prints the following
article on the subject of the assassination plot:
It will be remembered by our readers that
we stated some weeks ago, that we thought 1t
o very suspicious circumstance that Just before
Baker got up his lying tale about being, shot
by certain parties he was In correspondence
with Crews. We then supposed there was
some some deviltry on foot by these men, but we
had no idea they had become SO completely
lost to all sense OF decency as TO hire men in
New York to come TO South Carolln and
murder many OF our best citizens But there
is no doubt now on our mind that such was
the intention Of Crews and Baker, for there
are circumstances and matters stated, IN
HoggetL's communication particularly, which
and 70 far towards fastening the guilt upon
them. For instance, the $4,000 in Mr.. Todd's
safe, we learn, belongs to the estate Of
the late Mr.. Dial, Joe CrewS's father-in-law,
of which Mr.. Todd is either administrator, or
in some way connected as a lawyer. Again,
in Kerrigan's statement, MIR. Rutherford P.
Todd Is called by the familiar name OF "Ford"
by which he has been known among his
friends and neighbors all his life, and Crews,
no donbttold Kerrigan he wanted "Fortl" put
ont of the way" for we know OF no man more
likely 10 be feared and hated by a rascal than
MIR. Todd. Hosgett's copy OF Hubbard's COM
mission is undoubtedly correct, for such q
commission was seen in the possession of one
of Bakers men, while in Union. The story
about the party being thrice attacked by Ku-
KluX sal 6Osh. II there was any shooting al
or near the party, Baker did 1t himself, as he
did when lie shot his own coat and then cried
out ku-kux. We have noticed that the Kill
Klux always hit what they fire at. The tracks
OF the horses(?) "faslened at distance" were
examined by persons living near and proved
to be cow tracks. There are some errors in
Hoggetts statement as to names of persons In
this county, who were TO be murdered, but
Kerrigan has them right, with the addition OF
DR.. Pearson. The distance OF Union from Co.
luRbia is probably q typographical error.
