Rousiug Turn-Out of the Democrats Glorious Triumph for I the J'arty of Reform. Tuesday was a day to ho long re nieinhered in Abbeville, whether we regard the number in attendance or the enthusiasm and hopeful spirit which characterized the Democratic! erowds which had conu* to participate! in the proceedings, ft was a day which had been set apart by the llepublicnu leaders to hear speeches from : Governor Chamberlain, Congressman Hoge, and Superintendent Jillson.i and doubtless they preferred t6 have, the meeting all to themselves, but tliei Democrats determined to meet tliein1 in joint discussion, and turned out in! mass t? give the largest share of sympathy and support to their speakers.; At an early hour every section of the! i\*i? ?i t \r wmhi !>? il?? V w. ..VJ ?? ? v<.*. I* ItM ?-?,> U1C ? I t'Ul majority of it* citizens, whilst numbers cumc from adjoining Couutics.! The majority of thorn were mounted men,and formed an imposing array. It id estimated that some two thousand whites were assembled, whilst j only some five or six hundred blacks; were in attendance. In fact whether! we regard the numbers present, or the j speeches delivered, or the effect pry-j duccd, we would call the meeting a; Democratic meeting, and the success a Democratic sueoess. Soon after ten o'clock, the Demo-' crats and Republicans, respectively, i formed processions, each precceded by j a band of music, and followed by mi j imposing array of mounted men, who, I with Hying banners and prancing S steeds, made an imposing demonstra-j tion. Foremost among the mounted menj whs the "Dark Corner Club," of I'MgeficId, commanded by Cant. J. G,i lilackwell, with a banner carried by! Mr. Ii. W. Lyon, on one side of j which was inscribed the name of the club, and on the reverse side "The! lJloodv Shirt." j Other clubs followed?the Due "West I Club, commanded by Capt. Samuel! Agnew; tlio Greenwood Club, by! Capt. C. A. C. Waller; the Cokes-1 wood Club, by Capt, M. G. Zei*j;ler;' the Mill way Club, by Capt. Willie JJradley; the Bordeaux Club, commanded by Capt. J. B. Hollo way; the Bradley's Mill Club, commanded by Capt. Dora Jay, the Lebanon Club, commanded by Capt. J. S. i Gibert I the Magnolia Club, command-' ed by Capt. C. A. McClung. This] last numbered one hundred and twelve: men. These men were all well mounted, and made a brilliant display. The banner of the Greenwood Club, with j its silver stars, and appropriate mottoes, was especially noteworthy. Upon the stand were seated the Republisan speakers above mentioned?j Chamberlain, Hoge, and Jillson,? together with Col. Aiken, (Jen. Me(iuwau, and Col. Cothran, who were to meet them in discussion; ami also Mr. Thos. Tolbert, the .Republican chairman of the meeting,?Col. Cothran presiding' on behalf of the Democrats. Above them floated the U. S. (lag, and the various Democaatic banners, whilst the Silver Cornet Band :tud the Due West liand, on behalf of the Democrats, and the colored band, >:i behalf of the Republicans, contributed their inspiring notes. Col. Cothmn, in behalf of the Republican speakers, invoked perfect rder and a fair hearing, pledging the ibility of his friends to answer their irgunients. This request he made several times throughout the day, and] had its propur effect in producing irder. Gov. Chamberlain was first introduced by Mr. Tolhert, and made a very temperative eonservate speech, filling out his allotted hour. He spoke with his accustomed ability.' and m:ule the beft of his argument in | behalf <?f the principles ami policy of! the Republican party, urging tliej L-Iaims of free speech and a free ballot.] (lov. Chamberlain was glad to bo i>res?*nt I itiul address his fcllow-eitl/.cus of both politi- | ual parties. He had no principles, 110 alms, j no wishes, which lie was not willing to pre- ' sent anywhere ami under all circumstances.j He was hcrcasa Republican,?in the proper sense of the term a Radical Republican, dc-j voted to the principles of that party, believiinr in its creed, proud of its history, confident of its future. He then sketched the protiress"of the Re-j pobllcan parly since its ornanizalioti in ls.Vi. (.>>n every great issue?the lion-extension of slavery in ls??o, the war for the integrity of the Union in tstSl, the einaneipatiou policy of lSin, the reconstruction of the South, with the enfranchisement of the colored race In island lSiiS, the continued protection of all men In all their civil a,id politie-al rights in | IS72?on all tliese great issues the Uepublleau party had triumphed in Nation and State.' At last the Declaration of American .Independence is true?thanks alone to the Republican party?all men on our soil are free, physically free, civilly free, politically free. Now. lie said, every step of this progress, every feature of this great policy of pardon, had been resolutely, bitterly and constantly j opposed and denounced by the Democratic party. The records of the two parties were as wide asunder for the past twenty years as light and darkness. Now, it is asked that the Republicans, because of some abuses which had ereppt into tlrt! Republican party, | should abandon that t'rent n:irt v mid " ? over I tn the nomocracy. For himself lie could only hay that if experience was to guide our | feet, we ought not to trust these great results to the keeping of any party, except that party whieli has accomplished them. Without I denying the sincerity of those who now say that they accept all these great resulrs, ids answer was that there was a vast difference j between accepting them merely as established facts, as the DemoAitie party does, ami accepting them as honorable, desirable, proud achievements, as t he Republican party ! does. The time would doubtless come when [ these things would be beyond recall, but that time has not yet come. Hayes and Wheeler represent the best sentiment and the best purposes of the Republican party. In this election?an event as certain, as any future event can be?we shall find freedom and civil rights Been red, together with reform of ail abuses which my continuance in otllce Is apt to engender. Gov. Tilden is an able man, who has done much to correct abuses in New t York, but in this contest he represents simply the Democratic party. Look at the present Democratic House at Washington. Does any man who believes in Republican prlnci-1 pies- wish to see those principles put at the mercy of such a body? Neither civil I rights, nor civil service reform, nor an | honest currency, could be trusted t?"Uchj hands. The Governor then turned to State affairs and declared that the permanent issue here was good government?by which he meant low taxes, honest and competent public olllcers, fair and just laws, and a devotion to the practical Interests and wants of all the people. Here there ought to bo no division of sentiment, no diversity of aim In the two parties. Vote, he said, no matter what your I politics. Vote only for honest and competent' men?men who wJii be true to your real interests. (Jive Touth Carolina good government, and the differences which ;iow divide lis will pass away, and pence wjth prosperity will speedily come to our people, Col. Aiken was next introduced by | Col. Cothran, as the coming member j of Congress, and in demolishing the Governor, made a forcible expose of; Republicanism in the Ktate. He endorsed everything that had been said I ill favor of free speech and a quiet campaign, hut said that if the Republicans wanted to inaugurate violence, j we were ready for them. He alluded I to the consignment <?f public arms sent to Newberry, labelled "Agricultural Implements," and denounced the act as .showing the spiiit with) which llie Republicans were entering j upon the campaign. The Colonel I made a scathing review of Governor I Chamberlain,s administration, cliarg- [ ing him with hypocrisy in his course respecting the Hamburg matter, and J in his letter to President Grant; and; arraigning his administration forim-i becility and corruption in the dis-1 charge of its high trust?alleging and; sustaining various speculations i.< re-: lation to the ease of Xiles (!. Parker,\ the Dank of the State, anil others, i We would suggest, however, that epi-1 thets and hard words in a public speech add nothing to the strength of| the argument, and certainly is not the t be ?t means to get votes. Our cause isj j us t, and if we cannot cope with them | in fair argument, we deserve to lose, j We object to epithets. We want solid j convincing argument. We lose noth- I ing by being respectful to-our ad versa- i ries. Congressman ?S. L. Iloge was next I i n f r< ii 111 I Mini mim/Im flip ! servative, temperate speech that we! have ever heard from him. Jle put in j a plea for free speech, and claimed! that whilst they conceded the right toj their opponents, tliey asserted it also! for themselves, lie claimed that he would poll one thousand more votes than in the last election, should he get the nomination, which was stilL in doulit. But whether elected or not, lie was hound to stay here, as all his interests >vere here, >Sinee his election T.U - . -. " he claimed that he had done the State) some service, and all his acts had been prompted by a regard alike for friend and foe. lift had urged an appropriation of $100,000 for Charleston Harbor, ami had spared no elibrt in the line of duty in behalf alik$ of Democrat and Republican. Colonel Cothrun next introduced "the gallant and generous Mc(.5ownn," who if he had had his rights would be now member of Congress. The (leneral was greeted with three cheers, and after calling for thfee cheers for Tihh'U and Hendricks, proceeded to make one of the bwt speeches of his life. Jn reply to thelast speaker he said he always had thought that he was failly elected to Congress, if he had got fair/play. He also answered etiectuajly the attack of tbe Congressman upon the fairness of the Mississippi election. The following is a mere outline of the points he made: We are on the eve of another general election, State aud Federal. These constantly recurring elections are incident to i representative form of government. Ii\! this country the people govern, they arej the sovereigns, and these elections are an-j pointed for thorn to speak their will, i'o I say whether they are satisfied with the | condition of public affairs. The government is administered bj* otUeers, who have m? Tee simple interest in their olli-1 cos. Thoy are but trustees appointed by you, and ft is for you to say whether all is well. If so approve. If not turnout tlu> lmiuitht'iil trustees. mid nut in others. ! What say you? Is till well to-day? or' do you feel the pressure and paralasis | of high taxes ami wish for a change? We say, that all is not well, and that a change is necessary for the good of the country. We say "that the party which has been in power since the war,* both in the general and state government should be turned out and replaced by another set of trustees for the following among other reasons. First.?The party in power has held oflico so long, that It has come to regard the administration of public alt'alrs as their right in feo wimple, and for that reason there should be a change. When one set of men hold the otlims of the government for a long period thev naturally become corrupt. Change is the order of nature. Change is wholesome. Rotation in otiice is a wholesome republican prin-j ciple. From that "Treat country from: \Hiich u'a Mm nmimnnfc nf mir iilscfi tutions, they frequently change their rul- j er.s. In our country all the great parties j have lived their davauri then lost tho con-1 tidenco of the people and been turned out by others. The lirst party in the govern-; ment after the administration of Wash-1 ington, was the Federal part}'. That was| turned out bv the Republican party tin- j der Air. .Jctferson. That in turn was turned out by what was known as theJackson party. That in turn by tl^o Whig party aim that bj- the great I)emocratie party, which was supplanted by the present Republican party, which has had possession of the Government for twenty voxrs. Eleven vcars of that time since tho war. It lias in that loug period at-| taehed to itself so many barnacles and bloodsuckers, that it is'high-time there should be another change. It is ripe l'or the sickle. Achango of air is generally wholesome, and now is the time for entrusting the administration of our public affairs to the great Democratic party! Second?Because of the great corruption and extravagance of the party, both Federal and State. Every period has its peculiar outgrowth, and the last ten veaas luis been marked by extraordinary corruption in governmental affairs. The last decade lias certainly been the most disgraceful in our history. Official corruption has grown! rank and rampant. It is estimated that there has been raised for the governments i of the United States, federal, state and municipal, in the last eleven years, since the war. the enormous sum of seven thousand live hundred millions of dollars. That is inoro than half the net earnings of the country during that time. That would make the body of tax payers equal partners with the government. What people can stand that? If it is continued it will beggar the nation ! hence tho universal cry for reform from Maine to Georgia. Every man, woman and child in the countrv, except perhaps officers and their families, have felt the hard times produced by high taxes, wrung from the hard earnings of the poor. "The whole head is sick and tho whole heart faint." Shall we not turn them out and try others to rule over usl Is it not right? And wo prosent you 1110 name 01 me man to uo it ? the Great Reformer, Samuel J. Tilden, who has eleareti out the tliieves front the State ol' New York. He is the Hercules of reform and has done more acts ol heroism and peril in that line, than the twelve labors of the old llereules, not excepting his victory over the Nemean lion ?his slaughter of the many-headed hydra, and the cleansing of the* Augean stables. Third?From all these corruptions the Republican party cannot reform itself! Reform can only lie effected from without by a new party and new men. Overthrow is the only remedy. It is one of the hardest things in the world for a corrupt parly to reform itself. I cannot he done. It has never been done in the history of the country. It is all vain and impotent to say "physician heal thyself." You might as well tell a drunk man to make himelf whole by his own will as to tell a party drunk with power and corruption to reform itself. You might as well demand of the maniac to restore his own mind. Parties are governed by leaders and they are enriched bv corruption. The rank and tile know nothing about it except through the taxes levied and devoured by the monster. The beneficiaries of course are not opposed to corruption, and the thing perpetuates itself. The money supplied it affords the power to buy indemnity and retain their offices. The greater the corruption the more secure the perpetrators. Tlifi tliinir trrows bv what it leeda upon. Mr. Curran Raid about a similar state of things in another ettuntry?"a public man Ik like a dead body in a mill pond?he lies nuietlv and obscurely at the bottom whilst there is any soundness in him, his bulk expands with thogasses which corruption evolves; he becomes bouyant by putrefaction and rises as he rots." Fourth?Becausc it is the practice of the Republican party to cherish and foster ill-feeling between the sections North and South, and keep open a "'bloody chasm of the war. This is ths great theme of all their orators. It would seem to be the most important plank in their platform. It is tho fruitful source of much petty oratory and cheap patrioiism. It is a crusade in wnich they preach malice and utter imprecations. It is now ten years since the war ended, and is this thing never to end ? Are we only in the union to pay taxes and not enjoy equal nrivileires! Wo are one in territory, one in goyernment, one in bearing tho bur-1 dens, and iiccording to every principle of of eonunon justice we should be in fact what we are in name, one people. It is monstrous that the governments should be a mother to somo and a step-mother to others! The Republicans have been in oilice so long, that they arc the government. Louis XIV* said, "I am the .State.'' These people say, "WeJJare the government." If we opposo the corruptions of their party, they say we are enemies to tho government. Is a cabinet officer detectedin liighcrimes? Remind the country that Jefferson Davis still lives! If a Secretary of the Jsavy is censured for corrupt practices erv out that it wasdone by a ilouse of Representatives, in which there are some ex-Conl'ederate Generals. We charge corruption and almost tho only reply they make is, that most of the old Confederates support the Democratic tickct! The true policy of tho country is reconciliation, fraternity and peace. That is our desire in the South, notwithstanding alf tho charges to tho contrary; that is our policy, backed and fortified by our true interest. It is not only our desire, but it is the doctrine of the Democratic party as well expressed in .Mr. Tildou's letter of acceptance. r iitti?JiocKUso the Republican pnrtv, for their own selfish purposes, excites liostllty between the races of the South. I utler our Constitution unci laws white and black have equal political rights. There is no incompatibility between t heni acting totffcther in politics. We (Micupy the simie noil? I live under the same government?the Mine heaven Is above us, In this statcof thpigs lie who would sow discord between the races is not a friend to cither or a lover of Ills country, but should be whipped with a cat-o'-ninc tails naked through the land. It Is the Interest of Republicans to separate the races, whilst, it is the interest of JJeniocrats to unite them. The Republicans live by separation, whilst Democrats desire unity and political accord. See what Mr. Tlldcn beautifully says upon this subject in his letter of acceptance. The motive lor separating tlie races 011 the color line is as objectionable as the thins itself. The object Ik political power?and to accomplish this thing they would separate the races, and give one absolute dominion over the other. This Is wrong?ant i-Uepublican. But when the race put over the other is less intelligent and liable to be misled by designing demagogues?and disgusting robbery and plunder is the result, it becomes an oll'enso which stinks rank to heaven?a monftrous outrage?a caricature upon upon Republican government not to be tolerated iu any civilized and Christian age or county J. KvJillson, the Superintendent of educautHm was next introduced, and attempted to make a speech but seemed to be in a bad huoior-ftt^the turn which the dfscussion was takHlgy^ind as a consequence said a good deal to \ ritote his audience. He bandied epithets with his Democratic hearers for sometime, and finally cwududed withoht making much of impression either ou IlepuhlioansawDemoI crats. x \ Colonel Cothran, the lafet en^iker, Iwas introduced by Gen. flRuowan, ;as "the organizer of sJu^tttryT^-TTffu j made a speech which vindicated his i claims to lead the Democratic hosts in | Abbeville. It was a strong speech ! replete with sound argument, striking points and telling illustrations?one i such day as this he said was worth a ' thousand years of peaceful life. It iaugured well for Abbeville.' Here he was athome and hero he expected to die and to this people he was bound with the ties of the strongest allectjon. ! Every instinct of his nature prompted him to earnest effort in her behalf. I The firj*t plank in his platform had been "success," and to this he had now added "Hampton and Home i Rule." He urged the union of the two ^aces as involving the interest of both, and appealed to his own record, as the friend of the colored man. He reviewed in detail the past Qine years of .Republican rule in the State and showed hcyv $20,000,000 of taxes had beeu wasted whilst all of our public institutions W\re dying for want of support, yet we were met with the cry of Reform, Reform. He told his Democratic frieuds that they must carry the election or be ruined. As advised by Colonel Aiken they must sleep with one eye ojMjn. He told them something about the Mississippi plan?how Washington Co., with 5,000 Republicans to 1,000 Democrats, polled a Democratic majortty oF.9,00? without intimidation and without violence, but by free discussion and fi^ir argument. By such a plan the land Calhoun, Cheves and McDuftie is fco be1 redeemed, or be forever prostrate. He said that we have already accomplished much as shown in the reduction of the school assessments, which was du?i to Democratic organization. He advnied them all to unsparing effort and ptapiised them a peaceful and tri umplianb victory 111 ^ovemoer. >ve are sorry ttvgive so brief a notice of one of the m<yt effective speeches of the campaign. \ After the clo^ of Col. Cotliran's speech, Mr. Thos. VX. Tolbert made a i speech in behalf of Jus partv, which I was very effectively aifnwered by Prof. Hoood, in his usual ea/hwt and eloquent style. This closed t^e the discussion. s A Judge Cooke was on the stay, ar looker on in Vier.na. He niadfe^.iw' speech but listened attentively To ajj the s^>e^kers. "Yedncsday was a Democratic victory, and we <*^11 be much mistaken if I the I(epublicamj are tempted to meet soon the array of,Denw?etatic strengtli | which greeted th<??i on yesterday it) Abbeville. As often ?ts they come we expect to meet them, and to "fight it out on this lino" till" JJTovember. Then for victory. # \ "Hampton and Home Rule.*' There was no sentiment expressed by the many mattoes at the recent mass meeting in Columbia, which seemed to take such hold upon the . - I * * - 1 4. i.1 A _ I 111 1 1 puouc nean us inaiuoove? iinmpiuu and Home Rule?" It exhausts the whole argument in about three words* We are content with this as an enunciation of our entire political creed.

In response to Mr. Blackmail's card in the JSeios and Courier of yesterday, I submit tho followingcommunication addressed by me to General Butler and his reply thereto, with the concurring statement to J. It. Abney, Esq. The public will weigh the testimony of these gentlemen against the asserted reportorial veracity of Mr. Blaokmau, and I presume that there can be no doubt as to which will kick the beam. I would add that it is bad enough for a Republican to be called a "Kadical," without having the imputation cast upon him of being a "Democrat." As this charge, however, is not libelous, I have no remedy but to disprove it through the press. T. J. Mackkv. ^ Columbia, S. C., August 16,1S7G. General M. C. Butler, Columbia. tipat> ?tr ?\rr .T. TC. Rlackman. the reporter of the News and Conner, publishes a card in to-day's issue of that paper, wherein he reaffirms the correctness of his report as to what transpired at the Edgefield meetings on last Saturday, and cites you as one of his "particular informants" as to what occurred at the joint meeting prior to my speech in reply to General Gary. The allegations; of Mr. Blackmails letter characterized by me as "gross misrepresentations" are as follows; 1. "As soon us the Republicans had taken the stand, about (300 mounted whites rode up, with a large crowd on foot, and demanded half of the time for Democratic speakers." 2. "The Democrats kept crowding closer to the stand, showing a determi* nation to do everything lawful to break the meeting up." 3. "Judge Mackey rose again" (to Veply to General Gary,) "but was so frequently interrupted by the Democrats that he could say nothing." 4. "The negroes by this time"(that is when I was denied a hearing,) "were completely hacked. Governor 1-! 1 H,0 Ulllllllluuriuill ItliU UII1UII3 i^m ...V stand, and with the negroes moved oft' toward thg village, followed by the Democrats, cheering and jeering, and threatening to breaK them up wherever they went to speak." 5. "The Democrats then assembled in Court House square, and Judge Mackey there made an out-and-out Democratic ypeech." I respeefuVy request that you will Jnform me whether you made any "statement to IV{r. Blackman of a character to warrant him In referring to you as authority for any of his allegations above cited. Please state specifically also whether I made a Democratic speech, as alleged. Upon the last point you may have charged your memory with the fact that when I was about to retire from the Democratic meeting, you addressed me in substance as follows : "Judge Mackey, we respect you as a Republican, who is not afraid to stand up before us and defend the principles of his party." Trusting that I shall recleve aii early reply from you, I am, dear sir, yours, ^respecfully, T. J. Mackey. P. S.?Please request General Gary to consider this as also addressed to hmv mid tn inin vou in the renJv. ' T/JT. M. Columbia, S. C., August 17, 1876. Hon. T. J. Mackc.y, Columbia, C\ / I)kar Sfti?Your letter of the 16th j instant, touching Mr. J. Iv. Black-1 man's report of the Edgefield meeting J on Saturday, the 12th instant, in his letter to the News and Courier, lias been received. Mr. Blackmau has fallen into several errors in his report, and did not gtt his reformation from me except upon one point. After you had concluded your speech in the public square, made on horseback, and when the crowd was preparing to disperse, Mr. Blackmail upproaclied me for the first time, and asked me to give him some of the facts. Having taken no notes, I referred him to Mr. Bacon, of the Edgefield Advertiser, who I had observed taking notes, and went with him to Mr. Bacon's office. Not finding him in, I introduced Mr. Blackmau to Mr. Thomas Adams, another of the editors of the Advertiser, and left him in Mr. A.'s office. What transpired there, 1 do not know. Mr. Blackman sat opposite to me at dinner afterwards, and asked me if 1 had challenged Governor Chamberlain and Smalls to make good their charges - 1 rI milhlS/l UgUUISl 1UU or BUIUU uuuicsnuu puvnv, liars. I replied that I had, and if any; thing further passed between us about the meeting, I do not remember it. You made no Democratic speech, but a Kepublicau speech, and announced yourself a Republican, in reply to a piayful remark of Gen. Gary, that "you were a Democrat in disguise." The account which you have given of that meeting in your letter to the Register is true, and Mr. Blackman, as I have said, has fallen into several errors. I do remember saying to you as you were concluding your speech in the public square, that "we respected you as a Kepublicau who is not afraid to stand up before us and defend the principles of your party." I take occasion here to repeat that remark, and venture to suggest that if your party friends would conduct themselves as you did at Edgefield, there would be fewer asperities and less acrimony in our political discussions. Very truly and respectfully yours, M. C. Butler. I was present at both of the meetings mentioned in the above letter of Gen. Butler, and concur with him that the account of the same given by Judge Mackey in the Rcyiuter is correct. John R.
