The prominence given this question shows
that the Radicals intend to use it in the Pres

that Gen. GRANT favors it. In Columbia,
Gov. SCOTT, aud number of strong minded
women, including Mrs. r. G. Delargc have
organized in favor of the measure. So, too,

covering the taking of the census. This TACT,

The Peace of the State. !.

The House of Representatives,, after a long
aud bitter debate, has by large majority,
rejected tho bill to declare martial law in
Union, Laurens and Spartanburg. The re-
cent conciliatory course Of Governor Scott
contributed much to this end.
The Yorkville Enquirer reports the burn
ing of half dozen farms in that county by
incendiaries. In addition thereto, the Co.
lumbia Union of the 30th says:
"Rumors of I<u Kluxing in ork county
were rife on the street last night. Letters
have been received by prominent persons,
stating that barns and gin houses have been
burned, and that forty colorcd men have been
whipped. 1t is stated that fears are enter
tanned of rash measures, the white citizens
guarding the town nightly, and the Ku Klux
notices have been posted about, stating that
IN case OF inccndiarism, ten pronlincnt colored
men and two white mon will be shot, aud in
case armed bands patrole the road, the officer
in command will be executed, aud that con.
siderable excitement exists thcro. Senator
Rose, with one or two discreet pcrsous, will
visit the county to day, for the purpose of
carrying out the policy of the Governor, so
far rs they may be able to do"
This paragraph is taken from Radical pa
per, and there is doubtless moro or less
"Buncombe" in it. Bat we think the people
of the piedmont" region, cast of Abbcvlle
and Edgcfcd, should remember that the bal
ance Of the State is quiet aud orderly under
the same state Of things which prevail there
and that they, too, should see that the laws
arc obcycd. "Lct us have peace"
