The CHESTER, S. G.. TROUBLES We
are glad to see that the recent very seri.
Gus and alarming condition of affairs iu
Chester, S. c., has passed of without a
serious collision between the races.
The action Of the leading citizens uf
Chester, in aiding The military to restore
order and peace in the community, shows
that the white people of the town were
not responsible for the disturbances
which threatened, few days since. to
assume the character of real war of
races. We are confident that the recent
troubles Ill York, Unio.l and other Coun.
ties in the State. are the work of negroes
and carpet-baggers, and are fomented
now for political purposes. These "out-
RACES" are concocted and got up by the
carpet-bagSers, who throw the poor ne
groes hcadlong into the melee, cause
them to commit atrocities upon the
whites, for which they are suitably pun
lshcd, aud then ''report" to Washington
the fact that the lives OF Union men are
not safe in South Carolina. The killing
OF the poor negroes, the dupcs Of these
Infamous white men, who egg them on
to acts of turbulence and violence, is
used at the North and in Congress as
prctcxts for further reconstructed out
RACES upon the Southern people.
we fear that very much of the late
troubles i'll Carolina is due to direct in
strnctiona from Washington. The Ku
klux bill now before Congress will fail
to receive majority of that body unless
supported by new acts OF Southern
rebels. Hence the new crop of outrages
which wc have lately witnessed in our
sister State. The white men of Chester
have acted nobly throughout these diff
cultias, asd now they make noble step
in advance of what they have already
done, and have rendered to Gov. Scott
their advice and services in aiding him
to restore, through the agency of the
civil power of the State, order peace and
qnict among all classes of the people.
We learn that a large number of The
leading and most Influential citizens Of
Chester aud the adjoining Counties were
to have conference with the Governor
on Monday last, at Columbia, in relation
to these late troubles, and with view to
the restoration of peace and good will
between the races. We are satisfied
that these troubles have been very great.
