Tribune's Washington: Washing-ton: Pnvato dispatches from South Carolina bring a very different version 01 tho cause of Iho collision butweon tho whites and blacks at Cam boy. from tho Associated Press report of la-t night. It seems a crowd or white democrats went up from Charleston to create a disturbance by demanding half the limo at the meeting. Tho negroes feeling themselves numcri- ! eally able to hold their own and pro- , tect their rights, refusod to have their meeting interfered with. Tho whites ' then oll'ered violence, hut tho -negroes not only Btood their ground but attacked tho whites and drove them off. South Carolinans hero say this result shows the Wade Hampton rifle clubs cannot undertake to successfully suc-cessfully execute their programme in that portion of tho state. Wherever negroes have a large majority of ntim-fters ntim-fters it gives them confidence, and they aro not cowed as in the up hill countries, whero intimidation is go great. Virginia republicans expect to gain certainly two congressmen in that state. They claim tho olcetion of Colonel Segar, an old line whig aud a pronounced Unionist iu tho second district, and DeJorgonson iu tho fouith. There ia also some prospect that Mr. Mills may doleat 0 over nor Walker in tho Richmond district. It is ascertained that there was en-iro en-iro unanimity on the Bubject of lasting lasti-ng tho proclamation relative to South Carolina allairs in the cabinet .0 day, it being clearly shown that tho ife of republicans in South Carolina .3 unsafe, that tlio governor was powerless and tho ballot hoi would be corrupted.

There was an informal meeting of leading democrats at the Khbit house late this evening, to discuss what policy shall be beat to adopt to meet this revolutionary move of Grant upon South Carolina. Judge Jeiu Black was tho principal spokesman. A plan was broached and approved which will he perfected to-morrow, to telegraph Wade Hampton and his followers to peremptorily withdraw from tho canvass and leave tho re publican ticket without any opposition. opposi-tion. Then tiio next democratic house will not allow the vote ol South Carolina to l0 counted next February upon the gruiind of its illegality.
