C., June 14, 1878. Editob of The People: Occasion ally something transpires In our usual ly quiet little town, a report of which would probably Interest your readers in other parts of the county, hence this communication, which the writer hopes you will publish. For some time the Bamberg Guards and this community have been making arrangements to give a ‘’basket pic-nio” to their neighbors, the Centennial Ri fles, of Grahams. Every arrangement having been made it was decld-d that the affair should be given on June 13tb, and accordingly it came off on that day. A gloom came over the entire com munity when on that morning it was found to be raining in torrents. Every one thought that the festival was to be a failure. About half past eight a. m the gloom began gradually to van ish, for it ceased raining at such a rate as it had been earlier in the day, but not, however, until the programme had been materially interfered with, for al though itcea-od raining so constantly we had intermittent showers which were of such a character as to prevent the boys from turning om until eleven o’clock, when the Qrst feature of the Ac soon as dinner was over the bat talion was again formed and marched to the target, where the company and Individual contests for the hampioo- ship as marksmen were to take place- At this Juncture It was discovered that the Centennial*, who bore Eofleld Ri fles, were not provided with cartridges for their gun*. The Guard* very cheerfully tendered them the uee of their new Remingtons, with cartridge*, which they accepted. The company priie, which was contended for by sev enteen men from each company, was awarded to the Bamberg Guards, they having made the best average score for that equal number of shots. The two individual prizes wsre won by pri vate G. A. Jennings of the Guards and corporal J. G. Jennings of the Centen nials, they having made the best sin gle shots of their respective compa nies. The tin cup was fairly won by and awarded to Mr. Charles Cooper of the Centennial Rifles. After the target exercise was over the two companies were drawn up in line in front of the speaker’s stand, to attend the delivery of the prizes. Major L. T. Izlar, of Biackville, in his usually happy style, delivered the company prize (silver cup) to Mr. P. B. Sandif^r of the Guard*, who made the best shot registered In the company contest, and for which be was entitled to the honor of receiving and bearing away from the field the trophy of vic tory. Rev. James F. Bulat, of Bamberg, in language very eloquent on his part and very flattering to the recipient, de livered the first individual prize (sliver spoon) to Mr. George A. Jennings, of the Bamberg Guards, who, as before stated, won it. Gen. James F. Izlar, in delivering the second individual prize to Mr. J. G. Jennings, did so in a very brief but flattering speech, apologizing to Mr. Jennings by saying that as he had been ‘ called upon to deliver an other—the most important prize of the day, the tin cup—be (Mr. JenulLgs) must excuse briefness.” Mr. Cooper was called to come for ward and receive the badge of distinc tion—the tin cup. He came boldly up to the stand with the air of the “well done,” and listened to the consoling remarks of General Izlar, who stated ^ A.POP1.0.F. AT. A. ©h J. f. Din in, fiupsriatsHdsat. programme of the day was to bare been enacted at nine o’clock a. m. The neighbors of the Guards, the Centennials, fully appreciating the cir cumstances and sympathizing with the misfortune of the Guards, determin ed that the festival should not be a failure on their account, and conse quently “sf mmed the siorm” an I came to their essietance in due time. At half past elev,-n o’clock, which was as early as the weather would [>ermit, the Centennials, under command of their g.illant Captain, A. A. Connor, formed near the South Carolina Rail road depot, where they wete met by Lieut. J. W. Rice, corporal L. S. Atter- berry and privates W. P. Sandifer and E. P. Rioe, who escorted them to the military hall. As the visiting compa ny entered the hall, the Guards, which were already formed, oamo to “present arms,” which position they retained until the Centennials filed in and form ed on the opposite side of the hall. Both companies were then brought to “parad* rest,” and Captain George P. Bamberg of the Guard* in a brief though appropriate speech bid the vis iting oompany “welcome to the boepi- talitles of the town and oommunity.” His remarks were heartily cheered, and then Capt Conner, on behalf of the Cectenniale, very eloquently re sponded to the greeting speech of Cap tain Bamberg, and the battalion thus formed marched to th*pic-nlc ground, with Capt Conner’s oompany in the position of honor. On arriving at the grounds arms were stacked and the military were as comfortably seated In front of the speaker’s stand as could be expected on such an inclement day. The speaker and other distinguished guests were escorted to the stand by Col. T. J. Counts, ex-Capt. L 8. Bam berg, ex-Capt L. A. Wright and Gea. F. M. Bamberg, to whom the Guards are indebted for valuable assistance In carrying out the programme. Col. D. Paul Sojourner Introduced the speaker of the day, Gen. James F. Izlar. Gen. Izlar briefly reviewed the his tory of the country, both civil and mili tary, and among many other agreea ble things which he said he gave the history of the Bamberg Guards of ante-bellum days, and alluded to the present organization in very compli mentary language. OoL Sojourner and Major Izlar were called and both responded with very appropriate remarks. Speaking being over and the table ready, dinner (which, to the writer, was one of the most Important features of the day's programme) was announced- A table bad been prepared especially for the military, and great pains were taken that they might enjoy the feast; and from what evidence the writer has been able to glean they fully came up to what had been anticipated, espec ially those members of tha Guards who toss had hrsakfastsd early. in the way of consolation that it had been said that more men had been slain in battle by stray bullets th&u by accurate aim, and that no soldier ever took so well with ladles as be who bad the “tin.” After the conclusion of the General’s speech, which was well flav ored with wit to the end, Mr. Cooper whs called upon for a response, but bis feelings seemed to overgo bis efforts and be retired withour saying a word. The military retraced their steps to the hall, when “three cheers” were given each company by the other, and the Centennial Rifles took leave of their friends and most of them their departure for home ; a few, however, remained over to participate in the last, but by no means the least, amuse ment of the day, namely: the ball, which was a perfect success, being largely attended by both sexes and the music being excellent Much Is due to several young ladies who attended the ball from Brancbville, Reeve’s and George’s as well a* to those nearer home—for tl\p charms and smiles which the ladle* contributed on that occasion were the principal ingredients of success. In conclusion permit me to say, with regret, too, that the editor* of both county papers and other gentlemen who bad been invited, were very con spicuously absent, for which they must account. “Maush.” The St enominal Ion of draw*. [New York World.] Gen. Grant le on record as having said of himself that he never took in terest enough In American politics to vote more than once for a President Upon that occasion he voted, in the crisis of the movement which led to the civil war, for a Democratic candi date. It is unlucky, therefore, for him that he should have confided the opening of his third Presidential cam paign to a correspondent of our es teemed cotemporary, the Herald, who has just made for him a stump speech at Paris which reads like an after din ner slogan of the Irresponsible Logan. It Is a pity that the experienced Mr. Plerrepont, who took such pains, as be telle us in bis dispatche*, to arrange for Gen. Grant before he reached Europe just euch a reception a* “would be accorded to an emperor,” was not consulted by the lively scribe who con cocted this personal bid for the Pres idency in 1880. That gifted diploma tist, even without the help of Mr. Fllot’e inspiring teapot, would proba bly have seen the folly of "Making Geo. Grant abuse, even by Implication, the party with which Mr. Plerrepont labor ed, os sachem of Tammany Hall, to induce It ta take up Geo. Grant as Its Presidential nominee in 1808. Be certainly would have seen the folly of making Gen. Grant revive the attacks which were made by “writers end speokara who were loyal sod to a cer tain extant BspobUcaas” upot the fan- his erals of the IfoMh m "venal, incompe tent and coars^ (..When Gen. Grant went abroed, ft was assumed by con siderate people of both parties, that bis political career wee ended, and by a sort of common consent the veil was dropped upon htv personal share of responsibility for eight years of sach mlsgovernment os our fathers had fondly hoped this land would never see. Senator Conklin has confessed that n hen the end of thi* long orgte of Orantlsm approached, and tha people by a great popular majority In Ho vena- her, 1876, bod pronounced Its doom, he fbund tbs chief personage of the Administration gloomy, disturbed and regarding it afl “Inevitable" that term should end In bloodshed. Senator Conkllng has also told us that the Presidential troubles which had brought Grant, In Senator Oonkllng's words, “to bis wit’s end," were caused by a Republican plot for falsifying the results of the Presidential election, the Inference is irresistible that Grant was as well aware of this plot as Sen ator Conkllng himself. Senator Conk- ling, in fact, has virtually admitted that If President Grant could have relied upon the support of the Federal army be would not have hesitated to insure the success of the Republican plot by force of arms. The language used by Senator Conkllng In this connection la very remarkable. At the time when It waa first published in the World we refrained from any special comment upon It because we saw no reason for disturbing tbo general tooit acquies cence of all parties tn the withdrawal of Gen. Grant from public affairs, to amuse himself by raising new ques tions of social precedence at European courts, to the consternation of cham berlains and the delight of newspaper correspondents. But, as Gen. Grant has now been definitely and deliberate ly brought forward again into the po litical arena. It is in order to recall to the public mind the picture painted by Senator Conkllng of his bearing and his projects during the stormy winter which ended with the decision of the Electoral Commission. “It was un derstood,” says Senator Conkllng, speaking of this time, “that the Re publican leaders had determined to have Vice-President. Fenqr count the votes at all hazards and declare Hayes elected ; and the West was determined on resistance. It was no child’s play in that section. Gen. Steadman had 70,000 men enrolled and assigned to regiments for the pnrpose of seating Tilden In office in case Vice-President Ferry carried out the proposed pro gramme. You may loox astonished, but these things are true. President Grant was at bis wit’s end. He con fessed to me that be did not know what to do. He was gathering some troops at or near Washington, but he did not know how far he could depend upon them. General Sherman told him that in case of trouble the sympa thies of a large majority of theoffioers and soldiers of the regular army would be with Tilden, and that the regular army must not be taken into consideration as a dependence In sooh a crl*is.” It will be obeerved that in his letter published to-day’ Mr. Potter incidentally confirms this curious rev elation by his statement, that “when ever the secret correspondence of the War Department is revealed,” It will certainly appear that the army could “never have been generally used to resist the authority of the House of Representatives.” From the statements of Senator Conkllng, then, it appears that when Gen. Grant in 1871 united with Sena tor Conkllng in supporting the device which the Senator claims to have In vented, of the Electoral Commission, he did so because be had convinced himself that the army ecu Id not be used to accomplish the purposes of the Republican party. Now what were these purposes ? Senator Conk- ling himself tells ue what they were* Senator Conkllng himself has also told us that under the operation of the Electoral Com mission these purposes were effected through means of which he has sold that when they com* to be known they will sink the existing ad* ministration in “Infamy.” Is It not a political phanom enon worthy of attention, therefore, that Gen. Grant should reappear In our politics precisely at the moment when a deliberate investigation into the na ture of these peformaooes so branded by Senator Conkllng bos begun; and that over this investigation the leaden of th* party which President Grant In 1877*tood ready, bad he dared, to old with the “regular army," should at the same moment raise a wild outcry of “the country in danger." Observe that this demonstration has been led up to, not very skilfully al ways, It la true, but persistently, ever ■tooeGea. Grant crossed the nneen Before be arrived at Liverpool Minis ter Plerrepont (whose 190,000 check has penned Into hMory) and Consol Fsirehild (stnoe promoted to Put*) nod Gen. Badean (not yet deospftstsd official duty) bed for kl« the most startling ovations, not only at his port of entry but at Mon cheater, Birmingham and London. Th* Lord Mayor gave him green turtle and the freedom of the city, Cavendish Square rattled with the earring^ of dukes and earls who cam# to meet the ex- President at the invitation of the rota tive of Lady Mary, the Windsor Castle was Importuned to open ft* gates and Its books of precedence that the ex- President might dine In the style of on “ex-Emperor" with th* Queen. When Oen. Grant reached Parle the journal which had once dabbed him the American Castor, and had clamor ed over the perils of a third term la pepper-pot paragraphs during succes sive months, cabled all over this coun try accounts of th* wonderful fetes that were given to th# hero of Vlakoburg by the heio of Magenta. It has etnes chronicled week by week the ilium- pal progress of the great American savior of society through the sooth of Troac, Italy, Roms, Egypt, the Holy Land aud Turkey, until it brought him back In a Government vessel to the Exposition cheek by jowl with the Prince of Wales and “all the royal family.” The foreign climax of the new pop ularity having been attained It became time to work the fever up at home. On all sidea the muttering* of Com munism has been interpreted as a prophecy of the man on horseback. Bishop Haven prays at Washington In the words of the Massachusetts motto, for peace under the sword, aud the staid Boston Advertiser responds with sn Invocation of Grant. For the pur pose of reviving debate over the merits of Gen. Grant as a soldier and a Pres ident the Sargent amendment to the Shield’s Pension bill Is thrown upon the Senate table. The most promi nent candidate for the succession, Sen ator Biaine, gushes into eulogy of the “absent statesman” like a romantic lover who withdraws his claims In fa vor of another suitor. Meanwhile Senator Conkllng subsides Into sod den silence about the administration, and Geo. Grout for the first time in his life moke* a political stump speech over 3,000 miles of cable apropos of one of those ourious and repeated 'is sues of veracity” which have checker ed bis public career.
