The Doughty Chamberlain Docs Not Put in au Appearance. Neither do auy of His Prominent Leaders. They Scud a Parcel ol Small Fry Instead. And Two more Companies of Federal Sol diers. And Commissioners, Deputy marshals and Detectives Without Number. But the Democrats Utter ly Decline to be Betrayed into a D?ficully, And the Olive Branch Blossoms Magnificently Through out tho Day ! Cn Saturday last, Mr. McKinlay, the popular arid impartial correspondent of tho Charleston' Sews ?? Courier, was in our midst, fox the purpose of reporting tuesday's doings. His excellent report, in the shape of a telegraphic dispatch to the Kars d' Courier, wo publish'in an other column. His headed "Army in Edgefield." Mr. McKinlay also gives us very important information concern ing the movements and sayings of (><-i\ Rn.prcr, thc Fedoral Commander of ti.o Department of tho South. To this report we have but lillie to add. In fact as wo attended clo?ePy upon t'io Radical meeting in tho Academy grove, we were eye witness to but little that transpired a'mong our compatriots upon tho public square. At this meet ing, Lawreneo Cain presided. The lour speakers were Smalls, Che colored Con gressman : Fillebrown, a white carpet bagger, who is Comptroller General Dunn's chief clerk : Brayton, another white carpetbagger, resident in Aiken, and Radical candidate for Solicitor in this judicial circuit; and Hayne, the colored Secretary of State, who is also tho present nominee for that office. Smalls isa dark brown, corpulent negro, ol' excelleut countenance, who spoke strongly in behalf of his party, but re spectfully and without bitterness. Fille brown proved tobo simply ? most in sufferable old twaddler, who confused and bored the negroes beyond measure. JJDrayioii isa ?n?alookiti'g^-mfln, who is evidently a very shrewd demagogue. Ho is a ready and a good speaker, and on this occasion was moderate and cautious. Hayne, born and bred in South Carolina, has but little negro bl* od in bim. and is still quite young. He is almost perfect ly white, and, like Smalls, is corpulent and of excellent countenance. He is in telligent and humorous. And, like Smalls again, his speech was strongly partisan, but without any particular ac rimony. The two colored speakers-as is always the case-struck ns as being far more honest and kindly than tho two whites. For malevolence and misrepre sentation always commend us to a white carpel-bagger. The crowd of negroes in attendance was large ; tut still small-very small compared to tho crowds that came ont on such occasions two or three years back. And tney behaved themselves well. Extremely few whites were present at this meeting. During Hayne s speech, he made some allusion to Gen. Butler, which, although respectful, in fact com plimentary, admitted of a coloring that Gen. Butler, who was standing near by, wished lo remove. Consequently the General requested to be heard for a few minutes, which request was declined, in very respectful terms, by the Chairman. During the whole course of the speak Ingytne marshals and detectives-an ex tremely nasty-looking set of fellows slunk to and fro around thc outskirts of thc crowd, bnt found no work for their manly hands. The meeting adjourned about 3 o'clock and before snn sot both whites and blacks had quietly departed irom our town. The Negro Nominating Convention. The County Nominating Convention of the Radlcd party met in our Court House on Thursday morning last, and, after a boisterous, disorganized, rudder less, ridiculous session of three days, adjourned on Saturday, having accom .^rrtislicd nothing but thc nomination of ? Cain for the Senate. As regards the rest of the nominations they could in no wise agree, and they finally Concluded to leave it to their Executive Committee to appoint tho remainder of the ticket. Tho said Committee, if wo mistake not, is presc?t in our town to-day, Tuesday, striving to accomplish this business. The party is evidently much divided und demoralized. McDevittisin jail-whee lie ought to remain for the rest of his natural life-and they have no leader. Current Reports as to thc movements of the Army In Edgefield. Merril!, who has been assigned to duty in Edgefield, Aiken and Barnwell, it is reported will arrive in onr town to day o?.jto.^..?*^o?f accompanied by cavalry and artillery-and make this his head quart CTS. Wo know not the grounds for this report. It i? further reported-and upon very good authority-tintt arrests are to bo made among us soon. How soon wo cannot learn-nor upon what plea or pretense. Thc two now companies of infantry that arrived on Saturday, have gone iuto bnrracks, with the others, at tho old Saluda House. ?'Thc Bald Buzzard1" .Gen. Gary, who has become known at all the public meetings' throughout our County, as " tho Bald E-igle." in bis. speech at Ridge Spring stigmatised Chamhcrlain as "ihe.Baid.

Ten citizons of Aiken \v0le arrested in town tliis morning and aafriitt*d to bail this afternoon in tho sum or ?_> oon each, with bondsmen Nineteen fanners were brought in last night through u pouring rain. and were not allowed eithor fire cr food, but immediately committed to jail, many being without food twenty-four hours, until furnished by the citl?ens this afternoon Among the arrested par. tj several are between eighty and nintty vearsold. John Hankinson, a colored "Democrat, has also been arrested, and bail refused him. All have been ad mitted to bail in the above sum except six, for whom bail has been refused The work of arresting is still going on, un der the management of the notorious Canton and Blackwell.

Per rott All have been admitted to bail, and aro \>y this time safely at home in tho enjoyment of peace and a quiet con science. Fifty negroes were up to-day from Ellenton to make affidavits, after which infamous business against thc peace and comfort of our good citizens, (hey were remunerated by g?nerons Marshal Wil liams at $1.50 per head. The money was received l>y the blacks with expressions of exultation and victory over the whites. This farcical affair bas had the worst effect on the deluded negro* s, and if it is not counteracted by wise counsel fur ther trouble may bo expected from them. All excitement has died out among the whites. The Radical Infamy.-Persecution of Peaceable Citizens. The Radical carnival of infamy still continues in South Carolina. As will be seem by the above telegrama, about thir ty peaceable citizens of Aiken county wete arrested Thursday by Deputy Uni ted States MarshaN Yates, Bourdin, Canton :*nd Blackwell, l acked by Fed eral soldiers. The arrested parties were carried before- United States Commis sioner Boozer at Aiken. They were rep resented by Gen. Connor, Maj. W. T. Gary, LeRoy P- Youmans, Esq., and the prosecution by District-Attorney Corbin, Thirteen citizens of Beach Island were arr, sted Thursday and marched through the heavy rain to Aiken where they were placed in jail and kept without lire or f-od. Ono old "citizen who'waa not only noi aide to ride horseback but could not even walk, was among the arrested par lies. As an evidence of tile peaceable spirit of the propio iL is only necessary to state that a gentleman represented by the Radicals to be continually thirsting for b:?*>d, was arrested in his own bouse by one of the deputy marshals without an escort. Tho report of thc arrest of General Hagood was not correct. Severn! ci?i zetis of Barnwell county had been ar rested, however. Tlic Upshot-Chamberlain amt Corbin Back Dowul-Nu Warrant Blanks Trial Postponed, Special Dispatch to thc Chronicle and Sentinel. AIKEN, October 13. All parties gone home, as tlifl authori ties-had no warrant blanks. The negro witnesses were paid $1.50 for swearing. Tito parties bailed arc summoned to meet in Columbia, at the session of tho | United States Corni, or. the fourth Mon uay in November. About fifty negroes from Ellenton come to swear. The town ls quiet. Chamberlain has been invited to meet Hampton here on the 20th. The True Mmy of the Ellenton Riot. The New York Herald has sent down a reporter to Aiken for tho express pur pose.of-investigating and reporting the Ellenton riot This reporter is not. only a sensible man, but-most hu ?.no of-hn mense energy. His account, published in tile Ifo uld a tow days back, makes a truthful and splendid showing for thc white people of Aiken, Ed gefiel d and Barnwell. It is full, minute, ca refill and exhaustive, and bears upon its face the ] imprint of truth and accuracy.- There is nothing lo justify warrants by United States commissi? uers or arrests by mar shals. In the. light of this document, tho programme of Corbin anti Chamber lain isseon to be wholly unwarranted and infamous to the last degree. And we would not be surprised if it were this very document, given to the world by the Herald, that has frighten ed Grant and caused him to put a bit in Mr. Chamberlain's mouth-causing him LO weaken in the knees as regards these arrests in Aiken and Barnwell. The State Fair in Columbia. The opening of our annual State Fair in Columbia has been postponed from the 10th to thc 21st of N ;vcmber. Very unusual efforts arc being mado to ren der this Exhibition a'grand success; and the people of Edgefield, notwithstand ing the exciting and engrossing political canvass, should undoubtedly take an interest in the matter, and contribute, by their presence, and by specimens of | their products and their industry, to the success of the undertaking. Tu thc Members of thc County Demo cratic Executive Committee. Thenext meeting of our County D?mo cratie Executive Committee will take place in our Court House on Monday next, the 23rd instant. A full attendance at this m eting is very earnestly desired'. Indeed it is a matter of the highest im portance that ci erg Club should bo rep resented. Thc Ked Hill and Saluda Meetings. Tho last of tho regular Democratic Mass Meetings appointed 03' the County Executive Committee, will take place at R< d Hill on Saturday next. Tho local Mass Meeting at Col. Clary's plantation, on Saluda,'will take place on Wednesday of next week, tho 20th fn ?tant. Tho hospitable and patriotic elli zens of tho neighborhood arc making largo and liberal preparations; and everybody is invited. Fourteen Military Posts in South Carolina. Company G., Eighteenth U S. Infan try; left Columbia on Thursday morning last, for Newberry. This makes tho fourteenth military post established in the Stato. The grand jury of Abbeville, composed of.five colored men and eight white, presented Governor Chamberlain to-day for defaming the character of tho people of that county by issuing his proclamations, declining that domestic violence existed in that county. Gen. Hillier Hits Gov. Chamberlain Again. Genend M. C Butler has written a Jot ter to Col. Haskell, Chairman of tho Democratic Executive Committee, in which he says of Chamberlain's boasted "authentic legal evidence to substantiate every fact and statement" made by bim, Chamberlain, that tho same statement was made by Chamberlain, Stone it Co., with reference to the " Hain burg Hor- j rey," and those persons charged with complicity in it, and yet, when tbo Court '. convened in SeptoHlbert,lh"ey not only ?had,no legal evidcnee,\birt bad no "indict- | mente-prepared, - notwit'iviamlin'r/ th* ] parties who had been .chtrged - with :ther crime were all ready and anxious to loe i ?en. Gary's Rldyc Speech-Continued s from 1st Page. a These facts should prove to the Repub- P ?cans and negroes -that if we had the c lower, we do not wish to re-enslave them ; 0 hat we intended to put them back into 0 lavery has been the hackneyed lie of the s arpet-bagger for the last eight years; 1 heir presence here is like an irritating ^ :ancer upon the body politic of thc State. The second grand mistake that our lead- li ;rs before the war committed, was the re usal to accept the proposition made by F he North, of gradual emancipation with * Compensation. This compromise would tave bepn carrying out Mr. Calhoun's . theory of- concurrent majorities when there was a difference or interest involved. It would seem {.bat he had the genius to ? evolve the ni]e, but not the practical wis- J dom to apply it. It ia a remarkable fact 1 that nene of thc great leaders of the c South ever discussed the difference be- : tween free labor and slave, labor in regard 1 to its profitableness-, they seemed to limit their inquiries to its booral, religious and constitutional relations to society arid the J government. In a speech of Mr. Stepbwjs, ot Georgia. "j he declared That African slavery was the ' corner-stone of the Southern 'c cV.cderacy, ! when the enlightened public1 \>niniyn of j iiie world had proclaimed its doom, f Bul, ii* our great lenders made mistakes { before thc war, the leaders bf the North ; have maje blunders since, that far sur passes them. Truthfully has Touche said, "that a political fault-, is more than a crime.''' By suddenly striking the shackles from four million slaves at once clothing them with all of the rights and privileges of citizenship, making thorn the equals of freemen of the Caucasian raes ; a race superior in physical, mora!, religious and intellectual uevelopment: a race thst God created in his own image, and gave to them tho dominion of the air, sea and earth. Tliev have, from the earliest dawn of the wcrld, b;en thc champions of liber ty, and the standard-bearers of a progres sive civilization. The dogma of Jefferson, that all men arc created free and equal, was adopted from the licentious political philosophy that obtained in France about the time of the Declaration of the Independence of America. It has no truth in observation or the laws of nature. In France their idea of liberty is universal equality. Be fore the law all citizens should enjoy equality, but not equality of position and condition in society. In the order of creation there is no equality. Thc Caucasian, Mongol an, Malay. Indian, Esquimaux and negro are each superior in the. order in which they are named, and each dissimilar in ap- . pcarance and nature. Thc lion, tiger, bear, leopard, wolf and fox are different and unequal. The leviathan, ffhale, porpoise, a:id sturgeon are dissimilar. THO eagle, pelican and hawk are unlike. If we iook to the sun, moon and stars, we see " that one star diilereth from another star in glory.'* The sands of the sea, the leaves of the forest, are all diverse. The rose bud of Pa-stum whose bloom nevc-i dies, is differ ent from the rose of Sharon, whose bloom fades, wither0 and perishes forever. Thus it appears that inequality, dissimilarity and difference are in conformity to the laws of nature. Why God made the Cau casian the ruler of races, the liou of the forest, (he eagle of the fowls of the air. tho leviathan of the sea, is beyond the ken of man, it is bidden in the beautiful mystery of creation. "Liberty when forced upon a people un lit, tor it, invariably proves a curse, ratlin than a bl uing. No people eau long en joy mote liberty than that to which their situation, education, morality, virtue and intelligent cati le them : any attempt lo ionic upon I hem a greater amount, must in its inevitable re-action eventuate in confusion, disorder and anarchy. Liberty, though a great boon, intended foi the ad vancement and development of mankind, is inferior in ils influence upon the desti nies of a people to the great principle of protection that underlies (he formation of all governments. The protection ol' life, liberty and prop erty is the crown-jewel in the diadem of ewry constitution, whether written upon parchment or the hearts of citizens. U is this great constitutional principle ihai throws iu broa^and strong shield around the wea!; and powerful, ?le: rich and poor, the white and black, the Radical and Democrat, it ii inscribed oj>on thciLind arda of filden and Hendricks*, ol Hamp ton and Simpson ; it is the grand mono gram of good government It i-.; such protection will restore peace in the [; ear ts of tho?e who have been engaged in a great civil war. It is such protection that will establish the bands of friendship between former slaves and masters. It is such protection that will enable the people of the Union to develop the resources oi tins great country, and cause them to per fect and perpetuate the principles of self government. lt will make the United States, in fact, what it claims to be in theory, the land of the free and the home of the brave. The second grand mistake of the would-be statesmen of the North, was over-looking the fact that was proclaimed, by the men who formed the Constitution; that they made this government a white man's gov ernment. The original Constitution ex cluded negroes and Indians from becoming a part ol' the body politic, thus making it a homogeneous government. The wisdom that they exhibited in this exclusion of inferior races is shown by contrast with the opposite action of those who, in tne year 1?24, framed the Consti tution of the Republic of the United States of Mexico. At that time Mexico was the equal of the United States, in all of the elements of National greatness and prosperity ; with a territory bounded by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, stretching from the Sabine Kiver to the Equator, with a coast on the Pacific nearly four thousand miles long, with a climate of great salubrity, with a soil fruitful in the production ol' . cotton, coffee, sugar, corn, wheat, oats, and all of the tropical fruits. A lund where " whispering hopes" '.vere breathed by tiie high bred Castillian lo the dark eyed maiden of his choice, amidst orange groves and lemon bowers ; where, too, the Indian wooed the belle of the forest, in the misty mases of the war-dance, and the sooty breasted negro, mated with the dark daughters of Africa, without the formal ann irksome bonds of matrimony. Under the shadows of mellow moon light they breathed an air perfumed by the rose and magnolia, whose sensuous undulations were alone disturbed by the sweet trills of (he meeking bird, all lived lor a time, m seeming happiness and har mony, upon the J ?ch luxuriance of this wonderful country. This magnificent country, that had been touched w*tb such partiality by the lavish 1 and of nature, adopted a constitution identical in form and principle with that crcab-d in 17cS7 by . the framers of oar Constitution. The only diff?rence between them was that the" Republic of the United Slab's of Mexico included in their constitution whites, mestizoes, Indians and negroes, in a common c'tizensbip. Fifty-two yean have pas-ed, the white population has diminished to one-half ..!' their original numbers; they have new a mongrel population that has inherited thc vices of the different races. In this short period this Republic, by the adoption ol' a Constitution at war with the ordinands of God and the laws of nature, has be come a splendid wreck and a pitiable ruin, which must serve ns a lesson for those who would escape a similar demor alization, corruption, degradation, and destruction. Time alone will prove the effect ol' , those, who from hatred; malice, revenge, and a love of party supremacy, have forced univeiv.il freedom and universal suffrage upon a people who were unpre pared for it, thereby doing an injustice lo the negro and commit I .ng a crime against tho white people of the Republic. With , the reckless spirit of a "Madame dc Brin villiers, they have infused the poison of four million slaves, suddenly sot free, ?nip , the blond of thirty-six million white peo- j pie.

V '' r:--'"- 1 .* G jva?oi. O.T.'Morton,' in 1SG5, in Ins' j nessages and speeches to thc. people'of Indiana, warned his party against this uicidal policy. There has already 6et in reaction in the minds of the peo i]e of the North, against thia great rin. 3 against nature and the laws {' good "government. As an evidence f it, President Grant has sent in a mes ag. to Congress, favoring a system of uahfied Boflrago to take effect in thc ear A. D 1890. lt is the best' thing he ias done since he has been in power and ? intended to reach this national evil, iod grant that it may do so, before the toison converts the body politic into a nitrifying and dying monster. Bot in leaving the calamities that affect he National Government, I must consider he misfortunes that new besot our State. Little did I ever di?n m that I should ee the proud escutcheon of this State Iraggcd in the dirt as it bas been for the asl eight years, under the triumphal ?hariots of the carpet-bagger, ne^ro'and calawag; the logical resnits of'the false egislation of the Republican party. This State is composed of gallant men, md glorious women, the splendid types >f the Cavalier and Huguenot, in whose )OSOms glow, " that chastity of honor, .vhich feels a stain like a won nd."..51 haul loped that for each wrong tu.d' insult*] liven ti^hc-r honored-name, that tlle-^ord j ){ an avenging Nemesis, would nave leaped from ' the scabbard of a thousand | sf her sons. But their spirit of manhood' :tnd heroic enterprise .has been slumbering like Sampson shorn of his locks. I see to-day that the tires of patriotism have been rekindled, and are burning upon her altai's. Thal brave suns are rallying around her. from*the mountains to the seaboard, and that they will rescue her from the degrading supremacy of the ignorant and the corrupt rule of'the car pet-bagger. During the long years that misrule has thrown its shadow over our State, our glorious oki Palmetto, which symbolizes our historic past, has been kept from with ering and dying by the tears of our beau tiful women. lu the glorious future, should it become necessary, it will be watered by the blood of the patriotic 80ns of South Carolina. 1 iVel confident that the spirit that has inscribed " Itcsunjamus' upon her Sag, will cause the "Prostrate State" to arise and glitter among the constellation of Slates, liko the morning star, f?ll of hope, full of splendor, and full of joy and hap piness forever.
