It was a red let- j tor day In the canvass of Abbeville couli- i IV, nay more, it was a red shirt day. It I will be memorable for many reasons ; fori the large attendance of red shirts and other mounted men ; for the manifest cnthusiasm of the meeting; for the excellence of the speeches on the occasion ; for j the splendid dinner; for the remarkable good order which was maintained throughout the daw For these desirable results wo are large- i 4v indebted to Mr. Itenct, County Chair-j 'inan, Chief Marshal M. L. Bon ham, jr., and the Executive Cmniittee, Who deserve much of the praise for the finest meeting which has been held anywhere in the State in this campaign?or since, !87t>. When we consider the long continued I \lroutli, the blazing lieat, thu clouds ofj dust, the great distance whichtnawy"lif the red shirt compam^&JkttftcTtravel, thn short crops. tJiTtC until yesterday, the _ _ ?yAv:warmness of the campaign, it is r nothing short of a marvel that the Democracy of our grand old county madej I s:> magnificent a muster yesterday. It! f was *.n easy matter in 187IJ to have a grand j gathering of the Djmic.utlc clans. Then j excitement was at fever heat; the coun-1 ^ try was in tlio throes of a revolution;, r iv. ...

I The blessings enjoyed for the last eight j veers of home rule and honest government have lulled our people into a con-J dition of blissful serenity ; and it is hard j k. to excite in them an Interest in the mighty contest now being waged for the control of the national government. Those i of our readers who have perused the ac. counts of mass meetings in this campaign | must have been struck with the luke-J warm ness that has characterized them. I the charge of Inkewnrinness can no | be made tit least to the Abbeville HR^^Bl>cmocr&cy. Governor Thompson never made a bet- j ter speech. Attorney General Miles) V ... AVAAltintr rtll Hie for. I will! U ICI VUI, VAVVilllig | nier etforts. Gov. Hampton was carried, away with the enthusiasm of tho oc-j casioii,and made the best speech of l is! i life. Col. Aiken in his eloquence rek called "Big Tuesday" of 187G. Mr. John- j n stone of Newberry, delighted the audience J with his eloquence, and Colonel Gibbes of; Florida, with his fund of anecdotes, kept, a hungry crowd from the barbecue tableslor half an hour. ? Complimentary to IbbevJIIc. \V. C. Benot, Esq., Presidential Elec- j or tor this District, has been on the j grand rounds with the campaign speak-' t*rn. and on each occasion his speech has' Xn-wsioned pleasant comment of the press.! As Mr. Benet, being Chairman of the Abbeville meeting, did not speak yester-J day, we give the remarks by the reporter; of ilio News and Courier in reference to' bifi Newberry speech last Friday: "The Hon. W. C. Benet, Uie next1 speaker, said he would admit that the! coming light was both uniqeand impor-j taut. Its importance and peculiarity were not that of free-trade against the' tariff, but it was uniquo because it was! tlie tirst time in the country that pa:ties! had divided on the issues of purify against j bribery. It was, in fa'-t, the Republic! against the Republican party, the Aiueri-i tan people against o tyranical dynasty oft \<t olllce-holiiers. or, in other words, the; reformer Cleveland agai?>sc the robber j Blaine. [Immense cheering and ap-' plause.] Mr. Benet then eloborated this' idea with great effect, and in the short j time allotted to him dalivered a remarka-1 bly clear and certainly one of the most! eloquent and ringing speeches of the campaign. At its conclusion he received a burst of applause and cheering." Mr. Benet has made such a good im-| predion on the people with whom he has beon in the campaign, that he will mostj likely be a prominent candidate lor L'ou-. gresa at the next election. "'j Dr. Patton. The Associate Reformed Presbyterian' x?f last week makes the following an-1 noun cement: / "SteST"-' "SJi"r readers will bo gratified to know j that 8r. * Patton, of the University of South Carolina is to he one of the regular! f contributors to tho columns ol the /Ves-j buterian. lie takes lijs place with us as; Corresponding Editor. lie needs no ink troduction to o:ir readers, lid wields the pen of a ready writer." / Dr. Patton is one of the best scholars in the Associate Reformed Presbyterian .ind !ilthoii??b he is a Professor in the State University, bis love for hisj Church and old lirsklne Is none the less' orient. I)r. Pattonisan hoitor to the do- \ nomination to which he is so loyal, and llie denomination, vc are sure, is proud ! to h:yp*-flOUtribtrt?d so able a man to the Ktateu||^ti|t;fof?. The Associate Reform^ cd Pilitojwrfians are not a numerous pcoplc^jbut wherever men are needed for : the learned professions they have repre- j sentativcs, and men who stand at the head, I no mutter whether as lawyers, teachers,' preachers, editors, statesmen, or politi-1 rians. The Associate Reformed Prcsby-! teria'iu arc au educated people. Opebiutr of the Colleges. Rev. Dr. Crier, one of the ablos educa-! .?,*rf tors in the South, in his paper, the Asao-' VI ' dale Reformed Presbyterian, says : CA/ -----"Everything is looking to tlie opening' ; of the colleges next week* A lull attend-j mice is expected. We are on the thresh- j hold of another year's Work. It becomes I lis to assume it with a profound sense of' our own weakness and a joyous r.ppre-j hension of the fulness of Him who prom-, ises grace and strength." Without knowing whether any record Is preserved of the names of the students J of the different colleges at Due West, we would suggest that large books be kepi, | in which the names of the Professors and j teachers, together with the name of ev- J cry student should bo written, the class I which he enters, his age, the place of hisj home, with suitable columns for remarks,I to show when he left college, and to. mark any interesting facts in his future career. It' a iarge book were made, and all facts' concerning the college and those connect-' <-d with it, it would, in the course ofai few years bo more valuable than its weight in gold.

The paper is a thor- j (Highly live one, and will be an honor toj journalism. Its editors are men of abili- i ty, whose aims and eft'orts Will be foi' the; highest standards.

They enter competition with toe old papers at Abbeville village in honorable and generous rivalry, and wo hope and believe that in such a course there is room for| three papers in Abbeville count}'. Con- j lident of the ability of tlie public of Ab-' beville to do even more than to sustain j its former high churaeter for liberality J and love for newspapers, we introduce j the Abbeville McH*enger to the readers <>f of the Press and Banner, and ask for it1 a kindly consideration, and trust that many of our subscribers may also invito the new paper to their homes and fire-!

PorrSn, for a tabulated statement of i the assessed valsios of Abbeville <5eu&ty. The facts contained Uifyein will bo interesting to tho?i? wrlivimvoa desiro to bo informed as to the kind and valuos of our properties. It ~i!l be observed that while tlis increased valuation of our; lands amount to ?130,105, that there has! been a very general shrink ago of person- J nl property, both as to nutnbor and val-1 ues. We can look upon the decrease of1 the number and value of horses, mules; j cattle and hogs, with indifference, and wo: can even exist after a decrease of two' hundred and seventy-five polls, so long as we are consoled by the fact that ourj loss in dogs has been only 51. Even if our loss in HrtjJs should be 1,925 in num? ber, and $0,485 in value, we shall suffer tio uneasiness n* to the safety and pros parity of the county so long as we cah keep our number of valuable dogs up to the present standard. While a dog will eat as much as a hog, they are much; moro valuable for barking at intruder^t home, and for running armuni^ay^f^a[T in spare time, policiijx^eif neighbors' lots andjjJjgsp-fifistures. Another source Jl?~<fl5ngratulation lios in the fact that without our present quota of dogs, the, 'possums and coons might increase to| such an extent as to materially interfere, with the poultry business. We care nothing about horses, mules, and cattle, so long as our sheep pastures are so well guarded by 2,891 dogs. Head the following statement. It will J furnish food for thought.

It can now be dearly seen that the present growing crops of corn ami cotton will'turn I out far below a general average. ON THE COTTON Is taxed the current expenses of the year for farm and family supplies, add to these the doftor's bill, tin; lawyer'* fees', if perchance one has been to court, and the annual church subscription, not forgetting to pay up and j renew for the county paper, which no decent farmer can well afford to.be without, and the little amounts for charity sake,- and If zealous for the poor heatlren In u foreign land?all of ' which taxed on a poor cotton crop, will leave , nigh on to nothing In the farmers pocket book, and not a stiver for the family stocking, , for banking and hoarding purposes.

I see In your faces and In your actions Ihe spirit of .'76. The tiro Is not. only In your torches, but I see in your faces the fires of patriotism, which not only redeemed the State, but which si 111 stand ready to maintain your rights. I trust that these tires of patriotism may cflnllnuc to burn brightly until the fourth of November, When we will elect Cleveland and Hendricks.

It would seem that all whoare here are hungry for talking. It would be natural for you to want to hear the Governor and our great chieftain, but your anxiety to hear speaking to-night appears us if you would sit down to dinner before grace. [Voice?Never mind the grace. Goon.] Your County Chairman has Just notified us that this banister before us Is frail, but I tell you, politically, we all stand upon a platlorm which is liotti Arm and strong. Instead of coming here to Inspire you with enthusiasm and earnestness, we must learn lessons of zeal from you. Abbeville has always been In the van, and If we do not catch something of Inspiration from you and this magnificent re' ceptton, it will not be because we have not had II noble example.- We will carry the news to the coast that the mountains of South Carolina are ablaze with patriotic fire. Gentlemen: You will hear quite enough of us to-morrow. In behull of myself and my colleagues I wonld thank you for this splendid demonstration, i would especially tfiuuk the ladles who grace and honor Hits occasion. Music.

(Cheers.) Once, i?n a certain occasion like this a voice con/.jiiinri "Johnson" "Johnson" "John son." Finally Mr. Johnson rose and commenced to speak. The voice still culled for "Johnson."

This splendid exhibition is only a foretaste of the grandeur of the Dccasion of to-morrow. This demonstration Is not u mere Idle show. It Is an earnest re*11 ty.

When he | surveys this splendid assemblage, I know I that-our Governor, who Is here today, will i feel that South Carolina hnsjust cause lo be proud of this grand old county. During the last two weeks It has been my duty as Elector of the Third District to attend the campaign meetings In several other counties. The meetings there were good; the enthusiasm was great; but neither in numbers nor enthusiasm could they compare with this magnlflI cent muster of our Abbeville Democracy.

I would return thanks to the ladles of; Abbeville?old Abbeville?the beuuty and I chivalry of Abbeville?and especially to that brave Land of little boys?the Governor's I Gunrds. I watched tholr proud bearing, and noticed the efficiency of tneir commimdcr. I' watched their manly faces and thought of the many great, names that Abbeville had produced. Perhaps from that little band will come some of the future great men of Abbeville. It i? a noble thing to he born a South i Cnrollnlnn, and especially In Abbeville coun-1 ty. Think of your Calhoun,- Cheves, Ward lawn, Noble, Perrln and of yonr Burl. They have Illustrated every Important office by answeriiiL' to every emergency, and being i equal to every demand. This Congressional District Is represented by the ti*ne and tried i Aiken. And on the Hcuch we have our be- 1 loved McGowan and Cotbran, who j-ossoss the ' ' I / beautiful lb virtue, and th? wraith of learning. Let them be your exemplars.

I trust thnt it may never oe the lot of the young Governor's Guards of Abbeville to witness the rule of tyranny that we have endured. I hope that tbey may always be solid for South Carolina and Home Utile.

(Here the Governor gave some original statistical facts and figures to prove the corruption of the Radical party, and to convince the public tbntthe Democratic party was a synonym of all that Is pure and good.)

In the firesencc of such h throng I would be more or ess than man If I did not proudly accept the Invitation. Words of soberness are sometime as needful as words of chcer. You arc here to hold those liberties which were won In '7(3. None arc so high that thay arc above tho law ?and none are so low that (hey do not get Its protection. Although you may sneer at the Republican ticket, It means something. It means war. It that purty can nominate Hiid run a ticket In the fuc<! of cortaln defeat. It Is gaining confidence. Those who enter u contest In the face of certain defeat are braver than those who go to battle with assured success. The liberties of South Carolina must lie fought In the Federal elections. This Immense throng in gathered not its a pageant, but to work as you did In'76. He who docs not cist his vole in '84 as he did In '76, Is a deserter, and his presence should be as odious now as It was then. I do not believe that Ruy ma.i Is stronger in the North than Blaine?this too In the nice o! the fact of his corrupt life. He Is thoroughly equipped for the campaign, and 1 believe lie will bring out the full strength of the Republican party notwithstanding the Independent Republican drfectton. The great black sea of the low county Is to be overcome, and It Is Important that as many votrs as possible be polled for Presidential Electors. The great Democratic majority of the up-country must overcome the Republican majority In the low-country.

The memory of these men Is the highest incentive to duty. The highest duty on earth is to our native land. Aud my God, men of Abbeville, what a laud you have! 1 see inscribed on one of your banners today the words, "Hampton and Home Rule." This brings to mind two eras in South Caroil-j na. I ask you to compare the present and I then. 1 see here to-day the faces of many men who stood under the fireof artillery with jne In Virginia. The proudest memory of those dnjs to me is that no man who fought with me on those bloody tlelds ever meets me except as a friend. What was the condition of South Carolina In 18G87?a humiliation?a by-word, and- a reproach. I would rather risk the perils of war | to pe-rlsh on the last field of battle, than to go through the eight yeurs of what the KepubllJcans culled peace in South Carolina. They made desolation arid ca>ted It peuce. Good God, my friends, what.a peace! and what a I Hfe wo were reduced to! From this pitiable condition we owe our redemption to the woI mon of Snath Carolina. We would ratherdlc as freomun thun live an slaves. (Cheers.) I I clulm no credit for what whs done in'76. It !

I was only the ex| onent of a people who were ucluatcd by high and holy motives, and who were determined to wrest the government from the robber band. (Voice?You did II.) No. my friend, you did as much in thnt contest as I did. But, no matter who did it. We have secured the government and we will hold It until the last recorded syllable of time. Do you tell me that In all the county which gave a home to Calhoun and McDutlle, there can be found a scalawag who would destroy] the blessings we now enjoy under Democratic rule? (A thousand volces^'No," "No," "No.") All I a*k Is, that you do not give a larger majority than Eairfleld. The chairman of that county says the majority wiH be seventeen thousand. It is not sale to give more than that, (Voice?We can give more thai) that, if you want it) You might not have the same excuse for bo great a majority that I had for Edgefield when I Went on to i Washington to see President Hayes.
