B. JETER. ESQ, BKn1RykD TO pE EnEor-
ED.-From reliable gentleman, who
arrived in this city yesterday, ,we learn
LOT some hiah-handed maeanres which
were rssotted to by. p petty United
States official, Marshal Mahoney, who
vent mp from Newberry. accompanied
by squad of eoldiers and thirty-six ne
groes, and visited the precinct at Goshen
Hill. The supervisors OF election de-.
olined to allow the negroes to vote, but
Mahoney sworc they should vote, and
vote they did. Hs also compelled nearly
all the 'lored voters ct that precinct to
vote for Byron. Having accomplished
his object nt Goshen Hill, he left four or
five soldiers there, aud proceeded to
Santuc, where the Same measures we're
resortod to. Tho illegal plans of these
Radicals have all come to grief, however:
for all accounts confirm the election of
Mr. Jeter by handsome majority. With
Byas and Mobley out Of tho Legislature.
we may hope for something better from
that body. A correspondent in Uuion
furnishes the following:
FRIEND SE1DY: Probably YOU would
Ike to know how the election passed off
to-day. In tho first place, there is no
doubt that T. B. Jcter is elected Senator
by a5 least 600 votes. juno Mobiey and
d. Il. d. Byron, United States Commits.
sioner, both Radical Republicans. were
his opponents. Juno nominated himself
at the convention held here for that pur.
pose, or, should say, being the County
Chairman, he presided ut the County
Convention, and utter the nominations
were made in tho convention, he put the
question: "Those in favor of Juno S.
Mobley being the candidate for Senator,
say aye" OF course, nearly all the
negroes said "I'-they always do that.
He then said: "Tboso opposed, soy no. -
VI course, the mos were as numerous
as the 'I's." Mobley then announced
That the "I's" had it, and Mobley was
nominated. This shut out any other
candidate. This sclf-nomination did
not go down pleasantly with friends OF
other aspirants, and so they "trotted"
ont what they considered the next best
nag, as an independent candidate, which
was MIR. Byron, who is cnrpet-bagger.
Juno was taken sick and could no. can
vhss the County, SO his Republican oppo-
nent had it nearly oil his own way. At
Santuo and Goshen Hill, tho two strong
est Republican boxes in tho County, it
was given out that Juno had withdrawn
from the race in favor Of Byron, and tho
result was Byron received nearly ull the
Republican votes at those boxes. Be-
tween those two it was diamond cut
diamond. From tho first neither of
them expected to beat Jeter, for he is
undoubtedly one Of the very best men
IN the State, and can carry more colorcd
votes than any man in the up.country
think, from what T can learn, that a
full vote has been cast in this County.
Those who did not vote at the last eIo:.
ton now sec the folly of such a course,
and have determined never to do 30
again. a large number of Democrats
voted for Grant, while tho negroes voted
solid for him. The delegation from
Union to the Legislature is now the
strongest Of any III tho State, and We are
proud of cur victory. Evcn the colored
Representative, John Wallace, is man
of moro than ordinary intelligence
among his race. You may put down
Oulon hereafter es Suro tor tho Con-
scrvative ticket. The election passed OF
without single disturbance.
Another correspondent writes:
Mr. EDIToR: Union County, with its
colored majority of GOO. on Monday,
elected 7. u. Jrter. conservative Demo
crat, by from 800 to 500 majority. lao
votes were polled Mt Union G. H.-7OO
colored, 4l0 whites; Mobley's majority
Is. The country boxes will surely give
Jeter majority nothing less than 800,
and maybe 500, majority. So much for
Mr.. Bonsal's report to the Republican
Committee, through the Union. that
this County was safe for a nepuhlican
Senator.
Senator Corwin, from N.wberiy, ap-
peared hero last Subbath, and N1nrsLal
Maloncy, with his band of colorcd
troops il blnc, and Deputy Carpenters,
did 10 gool. There wns some intimida.
ton OF white voters across the Pucolct
River. Thanks to 200 or 800 colored
men. They did their duty, md if left
untouched by the Radical .ballot-box
manipnlators, they would all soon he
right for honest government.
There was tight race in the County
