persons; and tho spirit and enthusi

with tho numbers in attendance,

was designed to adranca. In fpi!
the effort which had been mad<

of tho audicncc consisted of tho
ored people, and tho attention 1
which they listened to tho argsm
addressed to them, and tho he
good will with which they chc
tho speakers', afforded hopeful
donee that they will givo a rou

"what, evory body said, was a ear
speech. It was almost entirely
dressed to the colored persons p
ont; vras listened to by them v
great attention and vigorously

was to disabuse their minds of
false idea that the Republicans *
thoir truo friends and the Sooth

Ac. XIo was rcry sevore upon Sc

with great force, how the public m

fully informed cf the "secret histoi
of mal-administration, both in St

great power and diroctncss. woe
not endoTeo, however, hia consare
on what he is pleased to torm tho
*tby?f the people of Abbeville, t
vhich we think is neither justified

old District. Abbevillo is ablo to ti
care of herself as w ell from seem
friends as from open enemies. "W
though wo have not as many.

l? The next speaker introduced l?y the Sa
* Chairman was Dr. "Win. D Jennings of
? Edgefield, a Reform Candidate for the
Legislature from that District. The
?r Doctor is no orator but a man of at
. strong practical sense, and made a tr
? searching exposure of evils under th
1IIPe' which we aro suffering from official in- te
rler compctcncj and dishonesty. vc

THE ARREST ON SALE DAY.
To correct fal^e impressions with
gard to a matter which has bceu
uch talked of upon tho street, and
which exaggerated rumors have t
Icely gone abroad, we would state
i;iL Mr. I?. 13. Cade, of Georgia, was
rested here on Monday last for x j *
olfttion of & Town Ordinance against 1
ic diacharge of fire-arms in tho cor- ^
irate limits, and lodged in custody. **
o was about being held over under a
arrant for an offence committed 1
mic two j-ears ago in Georgia, when
mn the production of Governor
j (lock's pardon he was discharged 1
am custody.
"With regar(J*to the whole matter
e have only this to say in the waj of
unmcnt, that no violation of anyjl1
wn ordinance could justify the mode
which tho arrest was made. The 1
wn marshals and other peace ofli- n
rn, hare the riijht to arrest upon the
iblic streets all offenders for offco- a
s com mil ted in their presence, ana (
is without warrant, but they have 1
> ri^ht to enter without warrant the v
t
>tnicil of the humblest man in the
rid, As Lord Chatham said, "it may *
! open to the winds of heaven, but. n
ithout warrant tho King himself ^
>uld not enter." A man's home is hi?* c
,8tle, good agaiazt any intruder but *
;e warrant of thd law. A^ain the ^
ficer should summon only a snf;ient
to effcct the arrest, avoiding ail
Kr??fh of ?
I IJ I J Vs WUtVl J , ? ? w* vvva. w. J
id terror of good citizen*. The ar- a
8t was her? made nndsreirenrnstan- 11
3 which we think wordd warrant an 1
dictment for riot. -Again, no grca-jc
r force ahouid be nscd to tho pri.i- r
icr than to arrest and lo'lge in cusdj.
The prisoner in this case, wo j1'
urn, was unnecessarily benten and |
eated with other indignities.. If the];1
w hus been violated wo believe, 13
9 trust, it will be vindicated.
