The Press and Banner. ABBEVILLE, S. C. ; Wednesday, Oct. 18,1876. Republican Speaker* to-uuy. Yesterday afternoon Messrs. L. Cass: Carpenter, T. C. Greene, J. K. Toibert, j Gen. Taft, the speakers for the Itepub-: Jican meeting to-day, arrived and I stopped at private residences, and' will no doubt electrify their constituents to-day. By reference to the correspondence below it will be seen that they don't care to let their friends receive the light from a Democratic stand-point. The party of great moial ideas refuse a free discussion. They have brought with them Thos. Thomson, a U. S. Commissioner, and (Jen. Lowe, Gen. Dennis, and Col. Kirk laud, as marshals, to arrest sueiiI persons as they think suitable subjects, j They claim, it is said, to have arrested one hundred and fifty persons in New-! berry ou last Monday. Large num-j bers have already been arrested in j Aiken, and we presume that they intend to arrest many more. Every! true man in South Carolina should j double hiseuergies to relieve the citi-j zens of the State from such oppression. It is said that the negro constables who arrested Gen. Hagood recently wanted to put handoutl's on him. Indicatious point to the'declaralion of martial law in this State. Thomas N. Tolbert, Esq., Chairman Executive Committee Republican Party of ^Abbeville County.

His death cast u gloom over the hearts of all." We have received an appropiate tribute to 1jis memory by hisV-uuipany but Lave! not room lor it. ? A Day of Fasting and Prayer.? The State Executive Committee of the i Democratic party have issued a request to the |>e(?ple of the Slate to devote the 2Gth day of this uionth to fasting, humiliation and prayer, It is requested that all places of business be closed aud labor suspended, that all may assemble at the several places of divine worship; and the minister&of thegos-i pel are solicited to open the churches for service on that day and lead us in j the prayef uuto Almighty God that justice, peace and prosperity, mercy and truth, with fellowship aud good feeliug to all men may come back and prevail among our suffering and much disturbed people. Specimen* Copy.?We frequently receive postal cards requesting us toj send the writer specimen copies of our! paper. When we were younger than we are now, we sent them as per request, prepaying the postage. We have quit the practice now. If a man wants a copy of our paper, to get it he must send the postage. We pay no attention to postal cards requesting us to prepay postage on specimen copy of the Press and Banner. Mr. J. L. Mauldin representing that old wealthy firm of Messrs. F. \V. Wagener <fc Co., of Charleston, was in town last week selling groceries generally and "Old Crow" in. particular. He said that he was on his way to Union, and we advised him to call on our old friend Stokes,of the Times, with samples of that destructive "bird." 13y the way, friend Mauldin came near being killed a few <l?vs ai'o hv the exnlosicu of a barrel of ""old crow." ? For severul week*.we have been receiving the Salem (ilfass.) Po?t. It is a well-gotten up paper, and seeuis to appreciate the political situation in South Carolina. We wish that we had more *u<;li Northern exchanges. If our Southern papers would exchange with more of tlie Northern papers we think the Northern people would better understand the spirit o* the Soulhern people. SOME men who get the Press ami lianiur this week will be disappointed when they go to the office next week,' unles* we receive some money Detween now and lhe next publication day. Weare sorry for this, but necessity conii?els us loeut oft' those who do not fiay. Those who fail to get the paper tad better make some arrangements to settle up old seores. Wo are determined to collect. The Ninety-Six Herald is published for the people, and has tiue interest ol Ninety-Six and its development and improvement at heart, It isyour duty, ? and it should be the duty of every one to give it all the encouragement and aid possible. The benefit* arising from the eordial support of the paper will be mutually felt by publisher and patron. Mr. A. C. Pratt, of Due West, lias just returned from Ninety-Six wbere he has been spending a delightful time with some of the'Ninety-Six S'rls. We wish him good suoeess. r. Pratf drives the best turn-out on Chickasaw. The old saying is, hurrah for Hampton but we say hurrah for Mr. Pratt.

CHAMBERLAIN'S INFAMY. The Herald Pours a Broadside into iiiin. If the Republican leaders have not lost I their son?es they will make haste to warn . j Uov. I'hamberiain, oi' .South Carolina, lie is playing with lire, lie is evidently j stirring up trouble in order that he may j have an excuse lor calling on the Federal i <io\eminent to interfere m the election.! Fortunately this i.-. a trick w.uch has been j played so often in Louisiana, in Mississip- j I?i, in Alabama and elsewhere in the South, that it is now understood in the North, and if the Northern Republican leaders are base enough to play into Chamberlain's hands, to allow him to use them for his purposes, in the hope that his victory will help them?if they do this, they will between now and November cause a revulsion in public sentiment against them all through the Northern States. This is not Mexico. The war ceased eleven years ago; and all sensible men in the North believe that it is now time to let the Southern States manage their own nlfairs, ami believe this because they see that wherever federal intcrfer enee has mused peace has come at owe. We warn the Kepublicau leaders that Mr. Chamberlain is urawing them toward a pitlall which may prove fatal to them. Me is evidently an unscrupulous man: all his recent actions have shown that lie does nut want to keep the State in peace, but that he means to have turmoil. When the excitement incident to the election had gone to a certain pitch the Governor, who>e most important duty as conservator of the peace was to remain in the State, coolly left it lor a tour in New England. On his return he stopped in Washington, and from there issued reports, since proved talse, of violence done 10 negroes in South Carolina, and of a dreadlul condition of lawlessness. Meantime there is evidence that negroes in different parts of the Suite have banded together j for lawless purposes; but the Governor' takes no notice of this. And now. his assertion that there are in some parts of the State armed organizations defying and obstructing the laws is at once andUatiy contradicted by a number of Kepublicans, among them three Judges of ihe Supremo Court of the State. 11 ere is evidence enough to justify the assertion ot Judge Mackey that Chamberlain is really engaged in a conspiracy (against the State. Is it not a monstrous and dangerous stretch of pi;wer to bo constilute the electoral returning board and the body ol' commissioners 01 ciemon that the majority of these persons arc in fart to decide upon their own eases? liut, in addition to ali this, the Governor, candidate tor re-election, now proposes to call on the lcderal powi r l'or troops-to help Jiiui carry out his scheme, it is very difficult for'any one to believe that he is n??t an unscrupulous and very dangerou* demagogue. II' he means honestly why uoes he not call upon General Wane Hampton una the other Democratic leaders. tlioughout the State to" assist hint in restoring and maintaining the peace, which lie xtys i.-> not only menaced, uu: brokenI he-e gentlemen have pledged ti.e:u>; ive> 111 the ui >st solemn and pahlie manner to see lair play between the two ra -es. Governor C.iainberluiu has on a number of occasions publicly admitted that ih^v have given him valuable and dlipjrtisun help in managing the al'uuv. and maintaining the peace of the Suite, i l'iiey would not dare refuse him now,' even if they wished to, which we do not ' believe, li there are such disorders as i iie pretends, but as other reputable and equady eminent Republican citizens de-j ny?il there are such disorders, why does he not call on the. Democratic leaucrs to help him in putting them down? It would be his lirst act if he were sincerely desirous of an orderly community and a fair election. '"! ""1 nF C.mfli Pnrnlinn JL lie tCUi U?/J1UJ11W|1 VA Clinicians we perceive to be thus: The emocrais are united and the Republicans are divided; Mr. Chamberlain has not, evidently, the confidence or support of a good prominent Republican;!. Tiiisprobj a*bly endangers his success, and he seeing [ to imagine that in this emergency he may resort to the same means which Governor i Ames so effectively used in Mississippi, which Gov. Kellogg has used and Mr. Packard threatens to use in Louisiana, and which have been used until they failled in other Southern States. One of Seni ator Spewer's deputy marshals, Perrin, j shot a hole through his own hat, cried out j"Ku Klux!" and summoned United Slates troops, and when lie had thus ob| uiined their aid he proceeded to make arrests of prominent citizens and to intimidate the Democratic voters of two large [eouniies. In what way does Governor | Chamberfain's proclamation differ from Perrin'f shout of "KuKlux!" exccptthat Chamberlain's cry is exposed at once, and by members of Ins own party ? *We have several times urged the colored voters of South Carolina to support General Wade Hampton and the Democratic State and local ticket.--. We cannot sec how they can wisely do otherwise. They are citizens of the Suite; their welfare is involved with that of their white neighbors. Certainly, if they rcllect, they will see that Mr. Chamberlain has utterly failed to give the Suite peace, prosperity or good government. General Hampton, a man of inlluenceand character, solemnly pledges himself and his as- j sociates on the Democratic ticket to give I the Suite honest government and to secure to the colored people every right. Why should%ey not take him at his wordV We suspect that many of them intend to do so, and that this aceouuts for this last and desperate expedient of (,'hambealain's which lias heen so promptly exposed uy members of his own party. We warn the Republican leaders that they had better very quickly s-e: such litcli as Chamberlain an<i Packard adrift. They cannot ailbrd to support them. * ? * General Hampton, in his spceeli at Rock Hill, in withering terms, alluded to the fact of Chamberlain having backed down, and refusing, as promised, to meet him at Yorkville to-morrow; claiming, amid the deafening cheers of thousands, that this withdrawal waa but a proof that he, after cowardly and infamously libelling the people of South Carolina in a proclama-1 :ion a.- i'alse a? it was revolutionary, wasn ashamed to j^ieet that outraged pe-?ph lace to lace, u?M allow him 11 amp!on), ;<s the reproc-eiitatlve ol flat to proclaim him a slanderer ! c ic:c his < v n .-m* ' HOTEL ARRIVALS.

An Ilumbte and Christian Letter from General Butler to Governor Chamberlain. Gov. D. 11. Chamberlain, Columbia: Your proclamation, pronunciamemto, manifesto, ukase, fuiinination, or whatever else it luay L?o termed, has been duly received and "contents noted." I am happy to inform you that we have but one rine club of white men in JSdgelield County, and that exists under and by virtue of chartered rights granted by the Legislature and approved by the Governor; and if by virtue of your authority as commander-in-ehief of the military forces of the State, you order them to disband,) whv of course they will have to "squander" and ground their arms and will I presume reorganize, without arms, as a Democratic club, and call their officers, president, vice president, wardens, Ac., Ae., instead of their nigh sounding, rebellious, military titles. \Vi> have thirtv odd Democratic clubs in this county, organized of course to do- j feat your election and the election of "your people and I atn happy to be the medium of announeing to you, that hereafter they propose to abandon the "rebel veil" which appears to shock your imagination so horribly, and I am requested by the clubs (Democratic eiubs, I mean) to invoke your permission and gracious dispensation to allow them to indulge occasionally in a good square Democratic}"holler," instead of the "rebel yell." Ti e latter, you know, Is performed by each fellow "hollerin" on his own hook, and it does sound a little provoking to sensitive ears; but the Democratic "liollor" is done by system, and no man is allowed to "holler" but of time, which makes it smoother, you know, and not so grating, I trust that you will seo tit to pro -lam.i:e on this subject, and grant us this innocent privilege. It gives me much pleasure to inform you also that the fellow whose pistol "clicked" at you when you were here on the 12th August, with Judge Mac key, lias been disbanded in obedience to your ful mination (or proclamation, I should have said; I beg pardon,) and has been incontinently suppressed, and Smith & Wesscn have so modified their original pattern, as that they don't "click" worth a cent in the holster, but only "click" now when they are drawn, coclioi and ready .for action. This information will, I know, be gratifying to your Excellency, and save you the trouble of another pronunciamento. On the 18th of this month, we are to have i? "gander pulling" at Edgefield C. H., and have succeeded in securing the services of an aged gander named "Dan," who has all bis life been remarkable for his dodging qualities, which, you know, is a very essential trait to maKe such elevating sport entertaining. Aud I have been appointed Cnief Marsha' on the said occasion. liy virtue of my position as Chief Marshal, I am alii woii to invite a few special friends, and I avail myself of this privilege to extend u> your Excellency a cordial invitation, and to request that your Excellency will come prepared to participate in the sport. Knowing your '.' >ndness# for equestrian exercises, we have selected a well-broken, docile Radical horse for your, use, black of color, with striped legs, and a yellow star in hi.s face, to be fully caparisoned with a Democratic saddle and appropriate trappings. If you should be able to come, please notiiy me, and 1 will have a mounted escort, without arms, to meet you at the station and see you to the grounds. These Democrats are very naughty fellows, and have a verv provoking way o: s iviii / that, their souls are their owr, and i of riding to ihoir meetings in squads ol *ach convenient size as to suit their depraved tastes. I must do them the justice, however, to say that tiiey ride teeir own horses and traverse the public highways and have not interfered ~%v ith that "4;> acres and a mule," which you presented to Die darkies some years ago. Of course it would be more propor and respectfully to your Highness that these presumptuous underlings should walk to their meetings, and stand around with their fingers in their mouths, whilst vour Indignity is orating and uttering nothing but the truth, so help you God. This I say would be more proper, but as we have to ride at the "Gander Pulling," they will have to come mounted. Besides this, "Dan" may break loose and run, and being swift of foot, for a goose, it will require a tirst-cluss thorough-bred to overtake him. Very truly, your obedient * Eater of Humble Pie, M. C. BUTLER. P. S.?Our chief engineer, Wade Hampton by name, has sunk a shall near the State "House at Columbia, with subterranean galleries running off towards the mountains, the Catawba and Savannah Rivers, and the Atlantic, which he is stuffing with untold and "untellable" quan tities of reform dynamite; ana on me /m of November next, he proposes to have the dynamite touched olf by a small sized din key from the battery established somewhere* in Colleton County, and there will he a "bustiiication" compared with which General Newton's recent brilliant achievement at llell Gate, New York, will "pale its inetTcctual fires." Now you have organized a "Hell Gate" in the channel of progress in South Carolina, and Hampton intends to blow it upj on the said 7th of November, and I advise i you as a friend to get from over. Don't attempt to oountermino, because you can't possibly tell where the galleries fun; and if j-ou try to Jind out, you will he blown j up trying! * M. (.'. 13. To the Citizens of Abbeville County. In view of the meeting of tho political parties in Abbeville on Wednesday, the 18th inst., in the very midst of a verv heated and exciting canvass, I earnestly admonish all persons to maintain the peace. It is. especially incumbent upon the Democracy to pursue this course. You can afford to be forbearing.
