"Lordv, Boss, you is iu South 1 Carolina now." . 1 ?We are pleased to have in our t ggndst the Rev. Frank Ilallam, who has 1 l>een appointed to supply the Episcopal 5 church at this place.

Kk ! ?For the information of anxious mfizftns. we will state that J. Hc-.'idrix FMcLane has again turned up in South Carolina. He went to Yorkville via Charlotte, X. C., and made a Green* back speech there on Thursday. His address was of the usual style?a charge of bad faith against the Democrats. He was replied to by Captain R. H. Glenn, the county chairman of York, who laid bare all. of his infamous lies. ?The Charlotte Observer, under the caption, "Esss in Campaign Tactics," says that a report reached that place to.j the effect that on the arrival of Mr. j -J!, Hendrix McLane at the depot, in ; Winnsboro, on Monday, a crowd of. men, each with one or more eggs, met him and prevented him from stopping re to make his speech. Our contempt s is. entirely too fast, as. it usually is, and there is not a word- of truth in the report published. The report that called forth the article i9 a good s$gsample of a campaign lie. ?Mr. J.

Fire.?The alarm bell called out the fire department about twelve o'clock on Friday night, and the fire wa4 found to bte on the premises of Mr. Thos. H. Setchiii on the corner of Washington and Yanderhorst streets. A small house in his yard, containing cotton, took fire from an ash-barrel on the side of the building. The engines were promptly on hand, and soon had streams on the flames. The ho'ise was almost entirely destroyed, and about two bales of cotton were burnt. Homicide near Ridgeway.?On Wednesday last Mr. Ben Brigman, of rhis county, was shot and killed by Dr. Wm. R. Sykes in a personal altercation with the latter. We have not j ie;;riiuu iue p*u~u.i^ciia*8 <oiu ait i unable to give any extended account of the unfortunate- difficulty. Dr. Sykes has- surrendered himself to. the sheriff and claims to have acted in self-defense in what he did. He will be.taken before Judge Witherspoon, at Lancaster, on a writ of habeas. corpus iu order to obtain bail. A more exten d?(i&ccount will be given when the particulars have been ascertained.

He was a young man of unusual force. ] great industry and; the highest characi ter. It is therefore natural that hi{ death should be deeply mourned not i onlv in the fauiilv circle where it cause? I I a sad void, but by his extensive ac | quaintances in Fairfield and elsewhere, j Suddenly stricken down in the very j prime of manhood, he yet has left the | impress of his character upon those | anion# whom he lived, and given to ' his contemporaries an example ol : honest purpose a::d of devotion to ali j the duties of life, which all may safely j follow. The funeral services took : place on Sunday afternoon, and the j large attendance showed the sympathy ! universally felt lor his afflicted relaj tives. Peace, to his ashes. THE XIGIIT A TTACK. Another Relic of that Remembered Occasion. In the account given by Colonel Ribn ot our night attack upon the Federal lines, on Morris Island, on the 14th of July, 18G3, published in the JTeics and Courier and republished by us, he stated that ?.portion of-.his force was a detachment which volunteered from the 20th South Carolina, commanded by Captain Cowan. He also suited, ic giving our losses, that there was from ''the 20th South. Carolina one wounded, who died:before we reached Battery Wagner."" "We have heretofore published General Order?, No. 6, relating to this affair, from headquarters, Battery Marshall, containing the "Hull of Honor" of the 7th South Carolina Battalion. We have also published General Beauregard's eulogistic letter. We now talfe-pleasure in giving the order of the 20th Kegiment, the orig! inal of-which, in the handwriting of Adjutant Wilson, has been shown us: Headquarters 20th S. C.

How-the New .Party leaders were Met in Winnsboro?A Lively Day, and Nobody Hart. Monday, the 2??th, was ihe>-da3r appointed for the Greenback mass meetino in "Winnsboro. On the morninsr -- ? o train came Mr. J. Hendrix McLane and the I5dv. I. D. Durham?Mr. Collins having come muicback ia^the morning, and Mr. Dave Elkin horseback the. evening before. By ten o'clock there were quite', a crowd of Red-shirts here, and about two hundred .negroes. Major Woodward had an early conference with McLane, and a division of time was agreed upon?Colonel Abney having come from Columbia to speak on the Democratic side. In the meantime some of the Ilcd-shirts gathered in frout of the hotel, calling for McLane. He railed to respond. xne calls continued, and Major Woodward went to the court-house piazza and addressed the crowd, calling- upon them to hear McLane. Afterwards Colonel Abney made a similar speech, and, a vote being taken, the crowd there voted unanimously to hear McLane, provided there should be a reply from tho- Democratic side. Others near the hotel dissented, and the Greenback speakers did not leave the building. Thcv left on the evening train far Chester, but, we are informed, passed on to Charlotte. . There was of course some excitement, but nobody received any bodily harm.. The-Columbia Register has the following.account of the.meeting: For some time- past announcement has been made that a "mass" meeting of Groenbackers ' would ' be held at Winnsboro on Monday, Xhe 25th, at which the Greenback candidate for Governer and others would speak. Wie lesra that McXians?and Itev. "Poll Tax" Durham went up on the early freight tram Monday morning, and on reaching Winnsboro found the town alive, .not with green-shirts, such as were worn by a few of the disciples in the convention, but with the blazing j red calottes, which werev the insignia j of the untcrriticd'Democracy in -1S76. j They happened there from all parts of ] cue county, ana icarmr.^ mat me tus1 tinguished. leader of the Greenback hosts was there but hi&"bos.-" absent, tli^y determined that he should not. be disappointed in an audience and W aited on him in large numbers at the hotel, earnestly exhorting him to speak to them. The Iiev. P. T. D. was taken ill at the sight of so much red and sought an upper chamber where lie ensconced himself between the sheets and utterly refused the earnest solicitations of his .friends to come out. The "next" j Greenback Governor, who would, "by j the eternal, know the reason why," i declined to come out. and as the rodj shifted auditors grew urgent and clamiorous, a number of Democrats came j like Biucher to relieve him from the | delemma and quiet his fears. ilcLane i remained at the hotel all day enteri tained by.a few of the leading Demo! erats, while Colonel John T. Abncy tried to pacify the red-shirt fraternity with a . sneenh-. TTi> to the leavine-of 1 the passenger train in the afternoon McLane was still at the hotel, and it is j presumed if the Greenbaekers come into Winnsboro he will address them, and if the red-shirts have dispersed in the meantime, he will come back to j Columbia and make another appeal to ; them for "twenty-five cents aacL up" | for expenses of the campaign. IBH I ?s?laaewa? ganaegiB? 2\ff? MOXTICELLO CL UB. Meeting: to Hear the Candidates?Speeches on the Situation- A Very Enjoyab'e Picnic. [BfPOBTED FOE THE NEWS AND HERALD.] > A meeting of the Mxniticello Club was held o;n Friday, the 22nd nit., the lion. John W. Lyles, president, pre; sidinsr. G(H. J. T. Dawkins was unan j 5mousey c! -vsen by acclamation as the club-n:una<;i;r of election. The presii dent, appointed, under the prerogatives I of the primary, Mr. James McGili. Five new members were enrolled. , The president then addressed the club in decisive terms relative to what was ; expected of every man to secure the ;; maintenance of home-rule and good . government. The club then adjourned and repaired to the famous oak grove of Mr. J. M. Jurkland, the resort for political ! gatherings, and convenient to that ! never-failing Gum Spring, famous in these parts for its delightiul cool water. ' On reaching the woods and passing his gin-house v*e came very abruptly upon a scene which was consoling in every respect. There stood a table from eighty to one hundred feet in length, and numbers of baskets, boxes and trunks crowded beneath. All this display assured one of the fact that dinner would be had, so we could stand the stoT'm of words from fifteen candidates very well. Beyond this table stood astrongly constructed stand decorated in evergreens, the centre of which bore the motto "Welcome." The decora tion was the work of the fur and lovely maidens of this vicinity. It is not my province to know who they were, but I have been informed that a certain widow?*' could giv3:the necessary iuformation, for it was he who guided the soft bands in arranging the letters, and methinks would very willingly be a guide for life's pilgrimage with one of the de:a- givls. After chatting, a: little in-the pleasant grove,. w? were reminded that the speaking1, was about to begin by a voice and the--rapping of the gavel. The gathering around-the. staniVwas complete,.the stand fitted.with candidates, and (he president of the club, the Hon. Jtoo. VV. Lyles,-as soon its quiet was restored, in a few appropriate remarks.*, introduced the Hon. G. H. McMastvr, who in his qqiet way, alter touching upon the Lien,-the Registration and- the Stock- Laws, dwelt upon the iarifl' imposed by the national s crovf>rrMTU>nt.. Air. A. S. Dousrlass made an excellent speech, handling well tlvo finance aud banking questions, and .laying bare the fallacy, of the greenback monetary babble.^ Mr. Gnnnell, like the first speaker, tonched upon r.he local issues, favoring himself the repeal of the Lien Law and a larger appropriation for education.. Mr. A. Ji Lamar was as concise as the other speakers upon the issues before the people. He considers the Lien Lftwa bk>t upon the Statute-book. In closing his remarks he touched upon C-IrAAnhju-kism. aiiH nairi the corniili vr. r I | ments of the candidates to the fair maidens fort he tasiily decorated staud. j Dr. T. B. M-cKinstry favored more j money for.edascational purposes.- The j Lien Law tl?e people ought to decide, and the auditor and treasurershould be elected by the people through the primaryk. Mr. Bayne McMeekin took the ground that there were only two parties in this Srate, the Democratic and j the Republican. Of the two the first j was the one that commended i?3elf to ; a decent man* from its purity of purpose a.rd faithfulness in the discharge ' of its duties in the past. Upon the j local issues he may be classed ?it par j with the other speakers. At the close;of (Japtain JMcMceKire'speech a ccess was taken fop-.dIftr.er,which the audience, as well as-the speakers, -enjoyed highly?fur to use a slang phrase, "it was past grub time with the- farmers." All things ready we went fwt w table in one-solid line, which would have disconcerted a corps | of Greenbackers and their Radical | allies,-for'-we-were hungry, owing to | the lateness of the hour. Yet all j hands had a plenty, for provisions I seemed to abound aiuV'.imich remained | on the table.-. Bhincr over, we re-1 turned to the stand and the speaking : was resumed.; Short addresses were delivered by the Itev. James Douglass and Dr. B >\ d and Messrs. .L. U. tJIiappell, John A. ; Uinnant, Dixon H. Robertson, James R. Harvey, \V. li Craig- and Jauies L. Richmond. Notwithstanding listening to this acrav of speakers for so many hours, the crowd seemed loth to leave. Our j old friend Dr. John Wallace, from Jenkinsvitte, being on the ground, he | was forced, by repeated calls, to take the stand and speak to those who love to honor him, knowing that at all times and under any circumstance he is ever ready to add words of counsel and cheer to his comrades in thovcause of good government and home-rule.

[Correspondence of the News and Courier.] Columbia, September 26.?The behavior of J. Hendrix MoLane, the Greenback candidate for Governor of South Carolina, in Winnsboroon Monday wil] -not- surprise those who are familiar with his record. On accepting the nomination for Governor, with uplifted-" hands- and eyes fixed on the ceiliiur, he declared: "I will he Governor. or by the Eternal we will have a Mi litany Government." This harmonizes about as well with his conduct ot- Wimiilinm nc liis miths jinrl til VP fits years ago agreed with his conduct when liveliour of danger caine. Throughout his life McLane has been metaphorically TKIHSTIXG FOR GORE,' and nothing but blood, and oceans: of it, would satisfy hiro <is Ion? as there was no danger that what lie invited would*.corn e, . The contrasc 'between the protestations of the man and his conduct, and the recollection of his treachery* will go far to account for the rude manner in which he \v;>s treated by- a few undisciplined Demo I crate at. the \Wnnsboro meeting, j Thehome of j.

Heiis withotttedncation and a miseraj bly poor.speaker, and his whole polii] ical career. j GIVES TIIE LIE I [ to his: present emptv professions of ' fairdealing, free speech and-poHiieal j reform. Whenever and wherever McI Lane has-been able-to prevent it,-there i has been neither iree free speech nor j fair play in South Carolina- The colj ored people of the State have never ! had a more hearttess enemy than he. ! and if he did not make a colored grave i yard ot bouth Curol-na it. was only i because he could not keen his-courage 1 up to tlie sticking point when the triti ical moment came. | m'laxk as a kukt.cx. ' 1 Years a^o when rumors of kufelaxj Ism filled the air J. ilendrix McLanc . paraded himself ostentatiously as one I of the band- He avowed himself i ready to undertake anything that was i demanded of him. But as a matter of . j course nothing was ncmanaea. ajci Lane had succeeded, however in sctirj ing himself b;.' his stories of his exi pipits, and when the.JLu.klux prosccu tions be^an he fled the State and remained absent for some years. In 187G he returned to South Carolina and JOINED TIIE RED-SHIRT DEMOCRACY, being just as violent then in his declar- j ations of hostility to the negroes as he had been in Kuklnx rimes. lie went j f:ir beyond the most extreme regular : Democrats in the county. McLane j ! declHreci'that '*if the negroes could not i be taught any sense, i* should be beaten I into them," and that armed men ought i to be posted alon<r the highways to j shoo: them down if they attempted to ! <ro to the polls. Of course the Pemoci racy had no taste for such proceedings | as these, but the fact remains that Mc| Lane advocated riiOSCRiiTICN* AND 3LOODSIIKD ; and must be presumed to have been ! . *_ T\ *.\. ~ ; sincere 111 doing ir. touring me ca:ni he was president of the Fcasteri ville Democratic Club, and secretary I pro tern, of tire Democratic Executive j Committee of the county. AU accounts agree in saying that he was the most extreme man in the county, and that the Democratic leaders had as much trouble in restraining him from attacking the poor colored men in those days* as Maj. Turn Woodward had in keeping ?iie exuberant Democrats from j kicking him more than oncc at Wiunsj boro on Monday. jMoLune was adjutant t'er M:ijor Woodward*in organizing the clrrbs in Fairfield county, and the order book co'" *i;,>-?Tig his crooked chirography i" < f; 4n existence. I A tVnir i*ao 1'c! 11 \l<vl.nn#v ^n/1 ?? ,^ric possession a gnu which he claimed to ; have captured in a-raid which he made i on the colored people in the spring of j 1871. Atthattime a negro company had been organized in Fairfield countyand was drilling at night. The roads / were picketed by the company and , the neighborhood ivas considerably alarmc(L An ame? was made upon | the company and-one* negro was shot, j Whether McLane shot him or*not I am i unable to saw but he claims to have been the hero of that raid and boasts of bis pro wesson'that occasion. Yet was he ALWAYS DISPOSED TO RUN when trouble came. In 1878 he organized a Greenbackclub at Feasterville. At one of the meetings a Squabble took place and McLane fancying himself in danger retreated to the Universalist church, j Tlie story is that he ran so fast that a j bag of Fiat money would have found i a-secure resting place- on his extended I eont-tail. Before--the election of 1876 McLane urged the FeasterviHe Democracy to pass a resolution binding every Democrat to refuse employment to any negro who would not vote the Democratic ticket, and he demanded further that the Democrats shonld* evict from | their houses and throw o?t into the j road every negro who remained contumacious." The more conservative | Democrats resisted this proposition ! a*id it was voted down. The-' iright I before the day of the election-he tried io get a squad of Democrats to go into ambush and SHOOT DOWN THE NEGROES as- they wsoded their way during the night "towards the polls. One ofihisTvnklnx o\-r?loils was to nl;iru? a ftftffin with a blood-curdling inscription at the d<ior of Wyatt Coleman, who was at the time a trial jpstioe. Coleman tracked McLanc to his house and-: openly accused^urcrof^iaYimr done the work, which McLanc did not den v. Mr. J. 13.- McCarley, sheriff o Fairfield county, gives the following account Of5 OXK 04? M'LA?rE*5 ELECTION EXPLOITS : "On the night before the election in 1876 I was sent, to Feasterville with United States Marshal Grant, who a'o)it lK(?r<? fnt' nm?nrt&o manln:?^ lating the election and lo arrest any man intcrferhig with the election. On that night "William Peake and Israel Byrd were sent to FeasterviWe with Republican tickets for distribution. They called on .Grant .to-* protect them. When we got to Feastervi lie we stopped at- the house of Major Fancett, which MeLane had converted'into a peifect armory. About two or three o'clock ivi the morning' the negroes began to come into Feastervi lie in squads of nnr> hnivnrvr>r?-Jfl.n<l hvn hniiH?,pn. firiiior thfeir pistols and hurrahing for Chamberlain. McLiuie, who was in command of the Democrats at that place, gave orders to stop the negroes, and intimated that if they didn't stop they would be ambushed and shot down. Grant, Trim, myself and several others met and halted tiie negroes and asked who they were, when a deputy United States marshal mimed Given stepped out into the road and made .the necessary explanation. We told thern our orders, and loid tneru'-ir tnev am notdisperse and- go to the polls quietly MeLane would-have them-alt-killed. McLarie's policy was to KILL'THE NEGROES out and exterminate them. Tie avowed his-purpose to he to get a Democratic majority by killing iregroes if he couldn't get it in any other way.'? Such"is the man whom the colored voters-of-':the Shite are asked-to support. A BULLY, A BRAGGART AND A SKKAKV A man who vowed-that he would be Governor of South^Carolina or have a military jrovernment, but slinks away at fh'o-'first hint of danger at Winnsboro. A man who wan.ed to throw the colored people out into the road, in 1876,-if they did not vote the Democratic ticket, and who is now hugging ! the negroes to his breast and howling ! against the Democracv. i ? "WHO CAN TRl'ST EIM? Certainlv the colored people' ought not to repose any confidence in one who has been so bitter an enemv and who worked so actively for their overthrow. They have had "some sense beaten into them." The honest white j people of the State cannot vo:c for him, for he has neither the ability, nor the will, .nor the manhood to serve them faithfully.
