fiFPDBLlCAN MEETING AT ABBE
VILLE.
* In pursuance of the nolico previ
ously given, a Kcpablican meeiinir
was held in our town, on Monday
iilght of tlje past week, which was
miMrc'sad successively bv Judge Orr,
Judge Hoge, J Scoit M;\?r;iy, Esq.,
aid A, Hiyilie, E.-q., and Others. A
platform had been erected in front of
the old Courthouse, and a very res
pectable ardicncc assembled to heav
the speakers. Tho Abbevi'le Brass
Band was in attendance and contribu
ted to . he'music of tho occasion. Sen
ator Holliosqead was c-ai'ed to the
Chn'r. bui declined in favqr of Ev
eridge Cain, niem;?er of the House,
w-bo iuTiodaccd the si'cccosjvo speak
ers.
The speech of Judge On*. came
first in order, and pursued substan
tially the same topics as the speech
lately delivered by him in Columbia. 1
of which ap'cttv full synopsis was '
given in our Columbia excha ngo 51
was devoted almost entirely to a de- j1
1 fcnco of llio administration of Gener
al Grant, and of ll?o platform and
princip'es of {ho .Republican parly.
Coming from one who occupies the
stand.point of Judge Orr,it contained
npthing wnich wo might not expect
from an earnest ' Republican, and
which wo suppose would not bo gen
erally endorsed by rr pn of the party.
Its error in our view, as indeed of
most pariy speeches, consisted in prc
confInnlv half-truths ?in ignoring
the mass of facts and circumstance*
which mal>c up the other .side of ev
ovj' gveui question.
Tuns in defending tbo administra
tion of Gen. Grant, wilh reference to
the c;;cet)vion of the Iyu Rlux Law,
lio denounced, ^vc thought very justly,
tho l\u Klux outrages, but neglected
to stato the character of tlio class
who wero arraigned before 'J10 United
States Caqrf, and many of whom
pleaded guilty to tho indictments
found-=-a miserable, moJey crowd,
who joined the order to gt-ptify some
private p;<pio or local grudge, find
perverted an organization uh'ch
was bad enough in itself', to purposes;
nnr/in / nri I ( m ill?) f i?il liv I
1 ~J
its founders. Tlio error consists in
Walking tlie mi erable convicts who
received their punishment from Judge
IJond, llio representatives of i,he res
pectable whito people of tbo State,
and in attempting to create the im
pression that iliey received a;d a*idj
eountenarce from the South Carolinaj
Donocacy, Agai?, whilst reciting
the inducements which led to ih s
passage of the law, and tho calls
which were made opon the President
to-suspend the Habeas Co-pun, the
speaker neglected to tell the audience
the law was enforced when the
out rages had entirely ceased, and the
J/ubeus Corpu* suspended when there
was no resistance of legal process.
Tue stron j arm of the military was
empowered to arrest when there was
no npeet-sity, jail? were crowded, and
nine counties paralysed, and a'l to
enforce sentences which were not de
signed to prevent crime, for the
crimes had ceased, but to manufacture
party capital for a party campaign.
As to Lhe nepotism of Gen. Gityat?
his lyvisi) bestowment of office on
his friends?the speaker defended the
President on the ground that compe-J
tency was the only matter to bo en-J
quired into, and that if competent, ii|
jnaiiered nothing that the appointcpJ
were relatives. But the very point ofi
IUU uiyv;uiiv/ii fo iutiv
Js bud, sinco it furnishes a strong
temptation to appoint incompetent
men to office; and General Grunt has
been very much slandered if some of
Jiis relatives are not among tho most
incompetent oftjcjals in the service.
Tho President has do\iatcd from a
preeedptt wbith Wi>s scrqpulovisly
followed by Washington and Jefferson
und their successors, and inaugurated
a practice which adDil3 ncitnor of
justification nor apology.
So in rpfercacc to receiving presents,
the Judge holds that that tho sin con
sists not in receiving the fift but in
bein^ cor?*uptly influenced. Yet be (
will reco'lect that when Lord Bacon '
was chargcd with receiving bribes, it j
was not esteemed by tho Parliament!,
of Great Brittain, a sufficient answer j
tiuit he had given judgment against ?
the donor. Tha precedent is byd? j
the sin consists in taking.
Tho administration of Grant was
defended, as having given i s strength
and character abroad, and peace j
and prosperity at home, and j
(jven as addressing itscli to the snp- j
- - - J.I
port of the Southern people. It was
nttempted to be shown that we hud
us much to expect of Grunt, "the
soldier and gentleman," as from Hoi?
uce Greeley, whom the speaker set
forth as an exponent of the worst
features of Republicanism As an offset
to this argument we would quote the
plea of.fudge Hugo who followed,
imd who denounced Greeley because
lio had sold himself to the Pemcra's.
According to Judge Qrr, Democrats
rran't support him, bvrattse he is ft Re>
publican, died in the Wool?according
lo Judge il<go, no truo Republic;^
can nosv give him his countenance,
because he has gone over to the en^
cmy. We might well leave thesp gen
cniiio iiin firtromcnt he
tween them* IJepublican or Penio
n-at wo sustain Greeley beenuso he
herds U*e pariy of reform. AVo want
a change, and our cry for deliverance
is "anything to defert Grunt," IJn
iler Grant wo will bo ruined?wo can
onl\ die under Greeley. Lotus have
;i change.
But tho Judgo things thftt Grant
issuic of his re-elec:ion?though he
thinks Greeley will be sustained at
BnUimoro. In this prediction, we
Lrust, thai the known sa^{ieity of- the
lui-^o is at liutK?that ho has nrsta
ken ihe si^ns of the tinges and taken
counsel o4'ly from his hopes. Cer
Haiiilv ninny of the pjr.iy are not so
Wo shall see.
T!n? .Tiid >a denounced tho corrupt
ions q*" viiu p:<"ty at home, a id called
upon ihe people io apply t e correc
tive in ele'-'iing proper men to office.
Ilo^e was the next speaker,
md made a speech, which was fur the
Host pa -t conse-valivo enough, but
ouched a little too freely upon those
iuTorc'iccs of ' rnce, color and previ
>us (u^d'iion of semto'de," which
onn too much the capital of .Repe.l)

J. Sco.t Mui'cay, of Anderson,

Mowed, and signalized the zeal a
jcvv convert, by chafing upon Grec
,ey and ihe pariy that ho represents,
,\n intention to attempt the re-estab
lishment of slavery. Tlic c]it\rgO" is
jo absiji'd, that wo give the speaker
tho credit of believing that he used
merely an argument lo ingratiate
himself with his new friends. A man
ivho would charge ihafc upon old
[Torace, certainly knows less of him
.Lun those Democrats, who accord
r:g to Judge Orr, are voting for him
iicrcly because he wears a white hat
md wh te overcoat.

Jufe side.
The meeting wo think could bard

haps the cause lies in tljo fyct, that
Llio speakers shot a little too high
(or the capacity of the aui!ict?eo?of
some of whom we might say with the
poet,
"Their pntutnrpd minds proud science
never taught to stray
Far as the solar walk, or milky way."

is still in session-, and will liktely
remain 3o^fbr the remainder of the

the prisoner, and is still under con

In }he case of the State against
Manuel McKellar, for an assault,
the Defendant failed to make his
appearance when called, and was
found guilty.
The important case of the Term,
and which excited great interest
was that of the State against Geo.

the eo'uur sppqjid?thought of our

that it was just and proper under

that the law should he ep^rcod

tlrak that enough will he found to
sustain the verdict. This verdict,
we believe, wil! show that the laws
must be executed, yet tempered
with mercy, and will have an effect
in the present progress towards an
area of good feeling, and an obliv

to sliow cause, why a mandamus
shou d not issue requiring liini to
countersign certain checks in favor
of the Misses Bishop, school teach
ers, it was shown that the accounts
wee con-.racred in 1S71, after the
Commissioner had directed the
schools to be closed, and the Court
d:schaMged tiic rule on the ground
that the closing of the schools was
the exercises o* a very proper dis
cretion on his part, and that the
teachers must have recourse either
to the Legislature or by action
asrainst the Tiustees.
In the case of the rule ngainst
the School Commissioner, formal
practice in office, the matter is stili
under advisement.
The sentences were imposed on
Saturday morning.
In the case of the State vs. Man

In the case of Joe Brooks, petit
