Editor Abbeville Press and Banner .* Having a very modo9t opinion of ipy own abilities I h^ve no decided j>rc(Jiioction for appearing in the "public print," but I happened to be one of the fow who had the honor oi oeing meuuoncu uy juugu \jn , m Iiis reported interview \vi h the cor respondent of tho Charleston JV>m as one upon whom lio coujd rel^* for aid in his movement to bring about a reformation in tho Governmental affairs of our State, and as many of thoso whoso names were mentioned in thesamo connection have foltcalled upon to come out in cards repudiating the wliolo thing and havo proceeded to define their positions, I havo conclu ded for onco to Jay asido rny natural diffidence and with your permission, through the columns of yonr valuable paper, to define my position and pro plaim my viows upon "the monentous questions which aro agitating the minds of the good people of Abbe ville County at this timo. In the first place I am a Republican?in tho propor ?ppsp of that word, ana i noiu that overy man who accepts the 13tli, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States as accomplished facts and who is willing tliat overy other citizen of the Uni ted States should exercise all the rights civil antj political which be claims for himself?is a .Republican. But being a Republican I am hot (as many seem to think the word implies) in favor of social Equality.

It 19 not the principle of Republicanism that our people aro opposed to, as was fully shoyrn by their acpeptance in 1870, 01 the platform of the reforqa party in this'State, ^nd piorp rcceHtljr, tb<j platform of tbe Liberal Republican jfarty and the nominees of that par ? ^4/% 1 j ly.

No man can bo more opposed tp such men than I, let them bo who tin;* may, but fyecauso J am, f should not denounce any and every man as a scoundrel?simply becauso being a Bepublican ho is disposed to call himself by that name. I make pretensions to no superior intclligeneo and havo had the advantage of but a **cry limited education, yet I claim to take a common sense view of mat tcrs lyhich js something that many ot our educated men certainly caunot aprogato to themselves. T.o iiliS^ate?I mefc tccentjy with the J?ey. Mr. a prominent tpinifjtcr of the Prcsbytcrj^n phnrch, but notwithstanding a man whose prejudice sometimes gets the better of hisjudgment, and in speaking to cfrrm?rA on UlUi K/L VI1U UV4 the part of a majority oF the whito peoplo of our county, in innch of tfreir conduct, I said, you aro a minis tor of the Gospcl} a man of undoubt ed fnoral character, and one in whom your congregation have unlimited confidence?and if you wore to tarn oat and organize a Sabbath School comDOsed of the colored children in your neighborhood and on every Sabbath evening meet with them and instruct them in their catechism and in tho ways of morality, &o., your congregation would commend yon for it and would sustain you in it, but if you wero to go and teach the same class their letters, to spell, to read and writo on ilondaj-, Tuesday and the other days of the wook, you would have four blank walls and a lot of empty pews, so far as the whites would be concerned, to prcach to on tho next Sabbath?and you would soon be given to understand by your congregation that your services wero not nce(Je,(J. any any longer. In he agroed qpth mo, I then ask ed Lim if t^ere was any difference or jjtoy more disgrace in teaching a class .of negro, children on Monday and Tuesday ijb&o in Jc^cJajing the same class ,0.9 Sunday. He said "there was a dife^encc,'' f tojd fiim for my part I coujdn't seo it, unless the .dis tinction mado the. difference. Many of our peopjo say all manner of hard tilings about tho JEIon. J. L. Orr and those whom ho claijias hh co-operating with him?and for what?! Why for simply attompting to do just what they claim so much to desire? and which should bo tho desire of every good citizon of the State, viz: tho reformation of our State and local governments. ^hoy hope ti effect this at least in great part, b] the election of Greeley to tho Presi deney. Judge Orr taking a ipon commoh feehfeo Victor bf hVtti.tehs, think that tho object can bo better secarei by getting rid of these Goths nn< Vandals. these political Vampires, whi havo been feeding upon the life-Wooi of our country for tho last four years bj- defeating them at the polls, at ou next oloction, or rather in our noini nating conventions. This he think cun only be accomplished by Iho mei who aro Republicans in fact, calling themselves bv that name, rejrardles of tho Rrtccrs and donuneiations o any manor set of men,' going int< tho Republican party and showinj to the colored man tho shocking man ner in which ho has been duped bj theso whito scoundrels who nvo nov boasting that they camo down lien to rulo the nntivo while man and thi ignorant negro, and for tho purpose of making money out of them.
