Abbeville, August 12,,'i1872.
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. But
mark you, in this I am not governed
as many of our people are, entirely by
reason of the color of the individuals.

associate with whom, on terms of i
perfect equality, I would feel as much 1
an ^version . as with any negro in
the country. I claim to myself the ,
inalienable figfit to dcter^njue for my- <
self ?s to mJ associates.
Because I am willing that every (
man should exercise all the privileges '
to which fee js eptitlod undef the fun- .
damental laws of ouf pfluutry, it
doesn't necessarily follow that, social- J
jy, I should put myself on a perfect
level witfr Ijiig, por does it follow that (
I should endorse tbe acts 01 every
private indjvjdu^l pr the ogicial con
duct of every officer who may hap
pen to fcfelong to tho same party. 1
can readily understand why it is that
ihe white citizens of oar cqijnty act
in so paradoxical $ manner in the
matter of thoif politics, viz : act as
Republicans yet deny that they are
Republicans, but at the same time I
jnust say that such a courso seems a
little foolish to me. 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

principled *>oiit!cianf>, who^under the
misnomer of Republicans, havo se
cured to tj}ei#3elye$ places of trust
and responsibility for whjch thoy are
totally unfit. 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

of making money out of them. Hov

Whilst thcro may be men "wh<

do not thinly that ho has given jusl
caaso lor sach general dissalislactioi
as seems to prevail among tho whit<
Gitizens of the State. Ho certainly

many acts of Congress in tho mattei

many regard as uunocessarily harsl
and oppressive?becauso they hap

his administration. He certainlj
cannot be to blarno for the part whicfc
ho took in suppressing tho ivu ja.inx
when it is borne in mind that he eon
formed to the law which was enaotec
for that specific purposo?and when
ovcry one must admit who knows any
thing of tho formidable character ol
that organisation, that nothing shorl
of tho interference of the general
Government could have suppressed it
