General Adams, of Vicksbnrg, re-
ports that the result OF the election in
that city has had great effect. The
white people in exposed sections feel
safe in their homes. and the colored
people seem moro inclined to accord
equal rights to the whites, where the
oolored people happen TO have mu-
jority. This is undoubtedly an echo
from the very highest quarters. Rep
resentative men here state that where
the oolored people are in the minority,
thereis no trouble, and that where the
blacks predominate, the whites are
very patient OF aggressions, to which
ths blacks are urged by bad white men.

A CITY paper, referring to Senator
Patterson's application to the Presi.
dent for troops to suppress an appre-
hended outbreak, says there are at this
time in South Carolina some twenty
eight semi'military organizations; they
may be called rifle clubs, inasmuch ea
the most OF the members on parade
bear arms OF some kind. Eighteen OF
these clubs are in Charleston, and
have been in course of formation for
the past eight years; the remaining
clubs have been recently formed in
places where the leaders Of the me-
groes have been especially turbulent
and threatening, The average num-
Der of men in eaoh club does not ex-
ceed fifty. aud there is. no battalion or
brigade organization. nor have the
clubs any common commander. In
stead, therefore, of rs. 600 armed and
disciplined> white soldiers, of whom
Senator Patterson speaks, We have at
the utmost l,500 undrilled and immo.
bilized members Of rifle clubs, many
of whom are without serviceable wea-
pons and have no ammunition. There
Is. however, in every County, an
armed force. that strangely enough
Senator Patterson fofgets to mention
it is the National Guard of the State,
otherwise the. militia, u hioh is COM
posed exclusively of negroes, is fully
armed and equipped by the State, and
is differed by the most unscrupulous
aud Rsdical politicians, suoh as the
Col. Jones, whose pranks in George.
town lately are known to the country.
There is no danger of any Disturbance
IN South Carolina, unless it be brought
on by the harauguing of Senator Pat
terson and Collector Worthington.
