WASHINGTON. Aug. 31.-General Pat.
terson, OF South Carolina, arrived here
tonight, en- route north. He gives a
most startling account of affairs in that
State. He says that notwithstanding the
fact that the negroes largely out number
and are generally better armed than the
whites, it is feared the latter will commit
fearful outrages on the blacks during the
political campaign now pending in that
State.
Attorney-General Williams has had
prepared all the reports received by
him from the South relative to alleged
prosecution Of negroes in that section,
and will leave here tomorrow for Long
Branch to consult the President on the
subject. The Attorney. General is of the
opinion that some immediate action on
the part of the general Government is
necessary for the protection of the me-
groes.
BROOKLYN, August 3l.-There is lull
in the Beecher-Tilton scandal to-day, and
the attitude Of the public is that OF sus-
pense, awaiting for the revelations of
Moulton's forthcoming additional thun-
derbolt, which his friends assert will be
crusher for Beecher and Plymouth
Church.
Anxious inquiries for Moulton's ami.
hilating documents have been made BY
enterprising reporters, and efforts to OBJ.
tain advance copies have been without
success. Moulton's manner indicates
that his statement will be written from
ON entirely different standpoint and un-
| der different feelings than those which
have preceded it. 1t will not be the pro-
| duction of mutual friend, but of man
charged with betrayal of confidence
and with blackmail. Moulton expresses
the utmost confidence in his powers of
humiliation, and says his revelation will
be such that Beecher will not dare to
preach any longer in Plymouth Church
As usual, Moulton was interviewed
to-day by numerous scribes, and ques.
toned as to the ground to be covered by
his statement. 1t was understood the
document was to be given to the press
tomorrow, but it is now stated that it
will not be made public before Wednes-
day or Thursday. There is an air of
mystery regarding it's publication, and it
is thought some New York paper, prob
ably the Graphic, will have it exclu-
sively. as a special favor from Moulton.
COLUMBUS, 8. c., Sept. 2.-The Board
of Trade of Columbus, at meeting this
evening, adopted resolutions denonncing
the attempt Of certain parties. particular.
ly Senator Patterson, to create q false
impression as to the relations which
exist between the white and colored peo-
pie in this State. and declaring em.
phatically that there is no signs Of any
danger of a collision between them; that
these reports are disastrous to the pros
perity Of the people, and that whatever
appearance Of trouble may have existed
WAS due and directly tracesble to the
colored men, acting on the advice and
suggestions Of bad white men, who for
their own ends are intent upon bringing
about rupture between the races. They
brand the statement that there is any
rupture as false. and ask the Nation.
al authorities to cause an investiga.
ton to be made into the truth Of the
statements of Patterson and others made
at Washington.

and the Senate nearly unanimously he.
