Let us for a moment examine th? condition of South Carolina when Gen? eral Scott assumod the control of the State. A devastating war had exhaus? ted the resources of ar, gallant a people " as ever bore arms. For three years or more t!iey struggled bard?lo obtain bread, with scarcely the mease to gath? er-their crops, aud fatality attending . all of their exertions. Misfortuno cov? ered the impoverished State like a pall. Under theso oiroutustnuses what did Governor Scott do ? Instead of econo? mizing the resources of the State so that its burdens should rest but lightly upon tho people, you will tiud, by the report of bis own comptroller-general, that, without any good reason whatever ho added to the then existing public debt ot tho Stuto the enormous sum of eight million dollaT. Where, fellow, citizens, did this money come from 1* lt came from tho luboring classes. It came from you, every hour of whose labor is divided between the support you owe your families and the work you unconsciously perform for the pub? lic. Every ship that sails upon tho ocean ; every rail road in the country ; every edifico that rears its head iu town or city; the property on whioh the wealth of a community is embraced, is, more or less, the product of human la? bor. And yet, these men who pretend to love the colored man, to be the es Jieoiul friend of the white working mao, oad the results of his industry with a debt of $8,000,000, and ask them to sustain an administration that is written all over with inconsistency and extrava? gance. I honor the poor luboring man who works day by day, iu a hard struggle with fate, to supply the wants of his family, and I tell you, my countrymen, that if Christianity is not a fable, the angels of God look down with a smile upon him who dedicates his services to Ins wifo, who is queen, and to his chil? dren, who are his subjects. But I de? sire to see that pour mun protected and when a body of rapacious officials use the power which citcumstunces have put in their bauds to benefit themselves at his cost, I, for oue, feel like stepping to the frout aud using whatever poor ability I may possess, to thc end their wrongs may be righted. Aud thoy may feel they have at least one champion who dares speak the truth. [Applause.] Eight millions of additional debt; That is the first count in the indict? ment. A Voice. Tull us more about the bribery ! Judge Carpenter. Well, gentlemen, by the charges of their own organ against me, if those charges are to be belioved, not an important bill passed tho Legislature without bribery. The State Treasurer, with the connivance of other Statu officers, went to New York and pawned the bonds of South Curo lita to obtain the money with whioh to bribe the General Assembly, and the State Treasu-er telegraphed back, under an assumed oa*e, that he had got the funds.

The truth is, I im? agine his-fiaoelleooy is a great deal more food of talking about. Wiooh ester rifles thao of using them. Let me say right here, however, that if the Biog eau wio this election by fair amos they shall have the offices. But I deolare, before High Heaven, that Wioohester rifles shall not carry the day. (Cheers.) Two parties can play at that game. (Renewed cheering.) Nor shall they wio tho election by stuffing the ballot boxes wheo the voting is done. (Tre? mendous applause.) Governor Scott, too, has done his best, to aotagouize tho two races and disturb that harmony io whioh the peo? ple hud lived. This U s point upoo which I coed oot dwell, for all who hear me are per feet ly aware of the char actor of tho relations which it is impor? tant to preserve between the white and colored citizens of the State. A Voioe. What is the difference between the Union Reform party and the old Democratic party of South Caro lina? (At this juncture thore was another attempt at interruption, whereupon this obuirman, Mr. U'Conuor, said : "L ask my friends, io justice to themselves and to the oity io which they live, to uiain laiu order. As the Chairman of tho meeting, it is necessary for me to sus? tain its character. I intend to do so. And if it cannot be doue in any other way, I will call for a committeo ot five hundred meu." (Longapplause.) Judge Carpenter. The Democratic party io the past bad UH own principies. Whatever they were, they join hands to? day with all honest Republicans ; not upou a political issue, but for the pur? pose of effecting a reform io the Govern? ment of thc State. Neman becomes a Republican by voting for me, although I am a Republican ; aud no mao becomes a Democrat becuuse he votes for my gallant and noble colleague, General Butler. This is my answer to the ques? tion. (Applause.) lu conclusion, allow me to say, briefly, that I ioteud to carry this campaign to ?ho bitter end. I war with dishonesty, treachery, corruption and falsehood, io behalf of integrity, honesty, patriotism and virtue. I shall not ba moved by personal a6sults, nor by the threats ot assassination that have bees made, if I do oot stop deoouncing this corrupt Ring. If Heaven will let them, they muy assassinate, but I shall oot, until theo, oease the work upoo whioh I have entered in behalf of the people. [Loud oheers.] Wo have just passed through a desolating war, in which the American soldier, wherever he fought, roared a monument of fame that will bo as eu- ' during as civilization itself. Aod by that noble aod patriotic heroism that stimulated us iu days gone by, let us ouoo move engage iu a labor, the object of whioh is the regeneration of a people. The chances are all in our favor. The influences against us arc many.

Tho speeoh of Judge CARPENTER before the Charleston Maas Meeting, on the 20th met., and contained in oui present issue, wilt exhibit to our readers something of the necessity for reform which exists io our State Government something of the motive power of th?. Reform movement. Judge CARPENTER dearly puts forth the faot, as has frequently been declared that the movement is not political, bul has been inaugurated for the pur? pose of reforming the shocking corrup? tions of the State Government-a move ment in which every honest. man maj engage, without saorifioe of principle for the improvement of the condition ol J his unfortunate oountry. This being the purpose, he oorreotly says that voting for him makes no man a Republican whilst voting for Gem. BUTLER makes n< man a Demoorat. And to stiokle merely for names, in an issue like this-whet the very vitals of tho State are being torn out-is trifling with the great du? ties and responsibilities of citizenship And more than this: to oppose thc movement, now that it has been iuau gurated, is to give aid and oomfort direct, to tho corrupt men who are plundering the people. As muoh a; those engaged in the suicidal work maj repudiate the fact, they are nevcrthe less, lendiug their influence to inoreas? the power of the Radical party-actually and in fact to increase Scott's votes ano to aid in securing his election. This ii the position they ocoupy, as plainly as cause and effect can locate them, and but little discernment is necessary tc disoover the faot. In this direct and absolute issue botweon honesty and dishonesty, overy man's position and influence must go to strengthen oithei one side or the other. There is nc caping this. And wo put tho pointe tulls pointedly, in ovdor that all classes may reflect deli irately, and ascertain whither they are tending. -* ? . a?- ? -- CHESTERFIELD DERIOORAT. Mr. V.

The final incident hus disclosed the in? stability of international understanding and shown the gravity of thc situation.
