The Doughty Chamberlain Does Not Fut in an Appearance. Neither do any of His Prominent Leaders. They Send a Parcel ol Small Fry Instead? And Two more Compnuies of Federal Sol diers. And Commissioners, Deputy .Marshals and Detectives Without Number. But the Democrats Utter ly Decline to be Betrayed into n Difficulty, And the Olive Branch Blossoms Magnificently Through out thc Day ? Cn Saturday last. Mr. McKinlay, the popular a^d impartial correspondent of tho Cuarldston' Sens cf- Courier, was in our midst, for the purpose of reporting tuesday's doings. His excellent report, ia the shape of a telegraphic dispatch to tho IVews <?. Courier, wo publish "in an other column. It is headed "Army in Edgefield." Mr. McKinlay fd so gives us very important information concern ing the movements and sayings of Geh^ Roger, thc Fedoral Commander o? the Department ot' the South. To this report wo have but little to add. In fact as wo attended closely upon tho Radical meeting in tho Academy grove, we were eye witness to but little that transpired a'mong our coin patriots upon the public square. At this meet ing, Lawrence Cain presided. The lour speakers were Smalls, tho colored Con gressman : Fillebrown, a white carpet bagger, who is Comptroller General Dunn's chief clerk; Brayton, another white carpet-bagger, resident in Aiken, and Radical candidate for Solicitor in this judicial circuit; and Hayne, the colored Secretary of State, who is also tho present nominee for that office. Smalls is a dark brown, corpulent negro, ol' excellent countenance, who spoke strongly in behalf of his party, but re spectfully and without bitterness. Fille brown proved tobe simply ? most in sufferable old twaddler, who confused and bored the negroes beyond measure. j Brayton ?sn flnr-iWhirrr^ m mi; who is ovidently a very shrewd deraagogne. 12c is a ready and a good speaker, and on this occasion was moderate and cunti?os. Hayne, born a:id bred in South Carolina, has but little negro bl< od in him. and is still quite young. He is almost perfect ly white, and, like Smalls, is corpulent and of excellent countenance. He is in telligent and humorous. And, like Smalls again, his speech was strongly partisan, but without any particular ac rimony. The two colored speakers-as is always tho case-struck usas being far more honest and kindly than tho two whites. For malevolence and misrepre sentation always cominead us to a white carpel-bagger. The crowd of negroes in attendauco was large ; tut stili small-verj- small compared to tho crowds that came out on such occasions two or three years back. And they behaved themselves well. Extremely few weites were present at this mecling. During Hayno's speech, ho made some allusion to Gen. Butler, which, although respectful, in fact com plimentary, admitted of a coloring that Gen. Butler, who was standing near by, wished io remove. Consequently the General requested to be heard for a few minutes, which request was declinad, in very respectful terms, by the Chairman. During the whole course of thc speak trig, the marshals and detectives-an ex tremely naaty-looking set of fellows slunk to and fro around tho outskirts of the crowd, but found no work for their manly hands. The meeting adjourned about 3 o'clock and before sun sot both whites and blacks bad quietly departed Irom our town. The Negro Nominating Convention. The County Nominating Convention of thc Radical part}' met in our Court House on Thursday morning last, and, after a boisterous, disorganized, r udder less, ridiculous session of three days, adjourned on Saturday, havinpr accom J^prished nothing but tho nomination of J Cain for the Senate. As regards the rest of tho nominations they could in no wise agrc-.\ and they finally concluded to leave it to their Executive Committee to appoint tho remainder of the ticket. Tho said Committee, if we mistake not, is present in our town to-day, Tuesday, striving to accomplish this business. The party is evidently much divided and demoralized. McDevitt is in jail-where ho ought to remain for the rest of bis natural lifo-and they have no leader. Current Reports as to thc Movements of the Army in Edgefield. Merrill, who has boen assigned to duty in Edgefield, Aiken and Barnwell, it is reported will arrive in c ir town to day jw J' -.??nrrrp'iTTiofi by cavalry and artillen--and make this his head quarters. Wo know not the grounds for this report. It i? further reported-and upoo very good authority-that arrests are to bo mado among na soon. How soon wo cannot leam-nor upon what plea or pretense. The two now companies of infantry that arrived on Saturday, have gone into barracks, with the others, at tho old Saluda House. "The Bald Buzzard!? .Gen. Gary, who has tecomo known at all the public meetings' throughout our County, as H tho Bald Ungle," in bis_ speech at Ridge Spring stigmatised Chamberlain as " the Bald.

Ten citizens of Aiken were arrested in town this morning und. admitted to bail this afternoon in tho sum ortona each, with bondsmen Nineteen farmers wero brought in last night through ^ pouring raiu, and were not allowed eithor fire or food, but immediately committed to jail, many being without food twenty.'four hours, until furnished by tho citizens this afternoon Among the ai rested par te several are between eighty and ninety vearsold. John Hankinson, a colored Democrat, has also been arrested, and bail refused him. All have been ad mitted to bail in the above sum except six, for whom bail has been refused The work of arresting is still going on, un der tho management of the notorious Canton and Blackwell. Names ot Parties Arrested in Aiken.? S1.?O Each for Affidavits] Special Telegram to the Register. AIKEN, S. C , October 13. The names of all the persons arrested up to date in this county are as follows : J.J Williams, J E. Quinn, F. W. Cof fin, W. M.Stcedman, H. Mi-Lain. P. B Page, F. M Green, L. Bountree, .". J.

Par rott All have been admitted to bail, and aro by this time safely at home in tho enjoyment of peace and a quiet con science. Fifty negroes were up to-day from Ellenton to make affidavits, after which infamous business against thc peace and comfort of our good citizens, they were remunerated by generous Marshal Wil liams at $1.50 per head. The money was received l>y the blacks with expressions of exultation and victory over the whites. This farcical altair has had the worst effect on the deluded negro? s, and if it is not counteracted by wise counsel fur ther trouble may be expected from them. All excitement has died out among the whites. The Badical infamy.-Persecution of Peaceable Citizeus* The Radical carnival of infamy still continues ir South Carolina. As will be seen by tho above telegrams, about thir ty peaceable citizens of Aiken county were arrested Thursday by Deputy Uni ted .States Marshals Yates, Bourdin, Canton and Blackwell, backed by Fed eral soldiers. The arrested parties were carried before United States Commis sioner Boozer at Aiken. They were rep resented by Gen. Connor, Maj. W. T. Gary, LeRoy P. You mans, Esq., and the prosecution by District-Attorney Corbin. Thirteen citizens of Beach Island were arrested Thursday and marched through thc heavy rain to Aiken where they were placed in jail and kept without lire or food. One old vitizeu who was not only not able io ride horseback but could not even walk, was among thc arrested par ties. As an evidence ol* the peaceable spirit of the people it is only necessary to state thal a gentleman represented by the Radicals to bo continually thirsting for blood, was arrested in his own house by one of the deputy marshals without an escort. The report of the arrest of Genera] Hagood was not correct. Several citi y.etis ot' Barnwell county had been ar rested, however. Thc rpshoi.-Chamberlain and Corbin Back Dutvu!-No Warrant Blanks Trial Postponed. Special Dispatch to thc Chronicle and Sen ii II cl. AIKEN, October 13. All parties gone home, as th? authori ties had no warrant blanks. Tile negro witnesses were paid $1.50 for swearing. Tne parties bailed are summoned to meet in Columbia, at the session of the United States Court, on the fourth Mon day in November. About fifty negroes from Ellenton come to swear. Thetown is quiet. Chamberlain has been invited to meet Hampton Itere on the 20th. The True Story of the Ellenton Riot. The New York Herald has sent down a reporter to Aiken for the espies-; pul p?se of investigating and reporting the Ellenton riot. This reporter isnot only a sensible man, but-roust boone of-, ito mense energy. His account, published in tile Herald a few days "nacl:, makes a truthful and splendid shov ing for thc white people of Aiken, Edgefield and Barnwell. It ? fall, minute, careful and exhaustive, and bears upon ii i lace the imprint of truth and accuracy.- There is nothing to justify warrants by United Slates commissioners or arrests by mar shals, in the light of this document, the programme of Corbin anti Chamber lain is seen to bo wholly unwarranted and infamous to the last degree. And we would not be surprised if it were this very document,- given to the world by the Herald, that has frighten ed Grant and caused him to put a bit in Mr. Chamberlain's mouth-causing him io weaken in the knees as regards theso arrests in Aiken and Barnwell. The State Fair in Columbia. The opening of our annual S.ate Fail in Columbia has been postponed from the 10th to the 21st of N vemb r. Very unusual efforts are being mad;; to ren der tiiis Exhibition a grand success; and the people of Edgefield, notwithstand ing the exciting and engrossing political canvass, should undoubtedly take an interest in the matter, and contribute, by their presence, and by specimens of their products and their industry, to the success of the undertaking. To thc Members of the County Demo cratic Executive Committee. The-next meeting of our County Demo cratic Executive Committee will take placo in our Court House on Monday next, the '23rd instant A full attendance at this m eting is very earnestly desired. Indeed it is a matter of the highest im portance that eery Club should be rep resented. -. .<r>. *.- ? The Red Hill and Saluda Meetings. Tho last of tho regular Democratic Mass Meetings appointed by the County Executive Committee, will take placo at R( d Hill on Saturday next. The local Mass Meeting at Col. Clury's plantation, on Saluda,'will take place on Wednesday of r.ft.xt week, tho 25th in stant. Tho hospitable and patriotic ci ti zens of the neighborhood aro making largo and liberal - preparations ; and everybody is invited. Fnurtecii Military Posts In South Carolina. Company G., Eighteenth U S. Infan try, left Columbia on Thursday morning last, for Newberry. This makes tho fourteenth military post established in the Stato. The grand jury of Abbeville, composed of#five colored men and eight white, presented Governor Chamberlain to-day for defaming the character of tho people of that county by issuing his proclamations, declaring that domestic violence existed in that county. Gen. Butler Kits Gov. Chamberlain Again. General M. C Buti'r ha?! written a let ter to Col. Haskell, Chairman of tho Democratic Executive Com milloo, in which he says of Chamberlain's boasted "authentic legal evidence to substantiate every fact nnd statement'' made by him, Chamberlain, that tho samo statement was made by Chamberlain, Stone & Co., with referenco to tho " Hamburg Hor rar," and those persons charged with complicity in it, and yet, when tho Court convened in Septehlbert.'they not only had.no legal evidence,.but bau rio tn di ct-r nien?A -prepared.'. notwitSvrnndm'r .' th* partier who had b?eiv'.?nkfged with tue crime were all ready ana anxious to be tried. Gen. Gary's Ridyc Speech-Continued from 1st Page. _ These facts should prove to the Repub licans and negroes-that if vre had the power, we do not wish to re-enslave them ; that wo intended to put them back into slavery hos been the hackneyed lie of thc carpet-bagger for the last eight years; their presence here is like an irritating cancer upon the body politic of thc State. The second grand mistake that our lead ers before the war committed, was the re fusal to accept the proposition made by the North, of gradual emancipation with Compensation. ' This compromise would h^ve been carrying out Mr. Calhoun's theory r,f' concurrent majorities when there was u difference or interest involved. It would st,.,,, that he had the genius to evolve the rule, but not the practical wis dom to apply it. It is a remarkable fact that nene of the great leaders of the South ever discussed the difference be tween free labor an,] .slave, labor in repard to its profitableness-, they seemed to limit their inquiries to its in oral, religious and constitutional relations to society and the government. In a speech of Mr. Stephens, ot Georgia, he declurcd that African slavery was thc corner-stone of the Southern ?-onicderacy, when the enlightened public'^pinicfn of the world had proclaimed its door*. .* But, if our great leaders mado mistakes before tho war" the iesders of the North have made blunders since, that far sur passes them. Truthfully has Touche said, "that a political fault, is more than a crime." By suddenly striking the shackles from four million slaves at once clothing them with all of the rights and privileges of citizenship, making them the equals of heemen of the Caucasian race ; a race superior in physical, moral, religious and intellectual development: a race that God created in his own image, and gave to them the d nninion of the air, sea and earth. They have, from the earliest dawn of the wcrld, b^en the champions cf liber ty, and the standard-bearers of a progres sive civilization. The dogma of Jefferson, that all men are created free and equal, was adopted from the licentious political philosophy that obtained in France about the time of the Declaration of the Independence oi America. It has no truth in observation or the laws of nature. In France their idea of liberty is universal equality. Be fore the law all citizens should enjoy equality, but not equaliiy of position and condition in society. In the order ol' creation there is no equality. Thc Caucasian, Mongol an, Malay," Indian, Esquimaux and negro are each superior in the order iu winch they are named, and each dissimilar in ap pearance aDd nature. Thc lion, tiger, bear, leopard, wolf and fox are different and unequal. The leviathan, ?vhaio, porpoise, a::d sturgeon are dissimilar. The eagle, peli an and hawk are unlike. If we look to the sun, moon and stars, we see " that one' star differeth from another star in glory." The sands ol the sea, the leaves of the forest, are all diverse. The rose bud of Pa-sunn whose bloom never dies, is differ ent from the rose of Sharon, whose bloom fades, wither0 and perishes forever. Thus it appears that inequality, dissimilarity and diii'erencc are in conformity lo the laws of nature. Why God made the Cau casian the ruler of races, the Hon of the forest, the eagle of the fowls of the air. the leviathan of the sea, is beyond the ken of man, it is hidden in i he beautiful mystery of creation. Liberty when forced upon a people un lit for il, invariably prov s a curse, rat lui than a blessing. No people can long en joy more liberty than thal to which their situation, cciucuiion. morality, virtue and intelligence entitle them : any attempt to force upon them a greater amount, must in its inevitable re-action eventuate in confusion, disorder and anarchy. Liberty, though a great boon, intended foi the ad var.cvment and development of mankind, is inferior in ils influence upon the desli I nie- of a people io the great principle ol' protection that underlies (he formation of all. -vernments. 'lue protection of life, liberty and prop erty is the crown-jewel in lite diadem of ewry constitution, whether written upon parchment or the hearts of citizens. 1". is this great constitutional principle ilial throws its broa-^and strong shield around thc- wea!: and powerful, the rich an?! poor, the white and black, the Radical'und Democrat, it i.; inscribed anon thc iL_r.d afus r?? 'irtlden and Hendricks, ot Hamp ton and Simpson; it is thc grand mono gram of good government lt is such protection will restore peace in i-be i.caris ol thore who have been engaged in a gr??t civii war. lt ii such protection : that wdl establish the bauds of friendship between former slaves and masters, lt is snell protection that will enable the people of the Union to develop the resources of this givat couti irv, and cause them to per fect and perpetuate the principles of self government. lt will make the United States, in fact, what it claims to be in theory, thc land of the free and the home of the brave. The second grand mistake of the would-b statesmen of the North, was over-looking the fact that was proclaimed, by the men who formed the Constitution; that they made this government u white man's gov ernment. The original Constitution ex cluded negroes and Indians from becoming a part of the body politic, thus making it a homogeneous govern me f. The wisdom that they exhibited in this exclusion of inferior races is shown by contrast with the opposite action of those who, in the year 1824, framed the Consti tution of the Republic of the Quited States of Mexico. At that time Mexico was the equal of the United Slates, in all of thc elements of National greatnc-iS and prosperity ; with a territory bounded by the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean?, stretching from the Sabine River to the Equator, with a coast on the Pacific nearly four thousand miles long, with a climate of great salubrity, with a soil fruitful in the production of cotton, coffee, sugar, corn, wheat, oats, and all of the tropical fruits. A land where " whispering hopes" were breathed by the high bred Caslillian to the dark eyed maiden of his choice, amidst orange glove-; and lemon bowers; where, too, the Indian wooed thc belle of the forest, in the misty niaaes of the war-dance, and the sooty breasted negro, mated with the dark daughters of Africa, without the formal and irksome bonds of matrimony. Under the shadows of mellow moon light they breathed an air perfumed by the rose and magnolia, whose sensuous undulations were alone disturbed by the sweet trills of the meeking bird, all lived for a time, in seeming happiness and bar men)', upon the rich luxuriance of this wonderful country. This magnificent country, that had been touched w*lh such partiality by the lavish hand of uatute, adopted a constitution identical in form and principle with that created in 17c>7 by the framers of our Constitution. Thc only difference between them was that ihe Republic of the United Slates of Mexico included in their constitution whites, mestizoes, Indians and negroes, in a common citizenship. Fifty-two y ear j have pas-ed, the white population has diminished to one-half of their original numbers; they have now a mongrel population that has inherited the vices r f the different race3. In this short period this Republic, by the adoption of a Constitution at war with thc ordinances of God and the laws of nature, has be come a splendid wreck and a pitiable ruin, which must servo ns a lesson for those who would escape a similar demor alization, corruption, degradation, and destruction. Time alone will prove the e.Tect of those, who from hatred, malice, revenge; and a love of party supremacy, have forced universal freedom and universal suffrage upon a people who were unpre pared for it, thereby duing an injustice to the negro and committing a crime against tho white people of the Repnblic. With the reckless spirit of a M aclamo de Brin villiers, they have infused tho poison of four million slaves, suddenly set free, into the blood of thirty-six million while peo ple. For eight long yens, it bas festered and rotted the hear^ of the, nation., A powerful antjdotp ..mur.r-, be .svpplj-jd.fto preyent it from destroying i what is loft of porily, honesty . and patriotism in thc body politic : ; -f , . '?}> ; " .'. G jve.Vii.0f: O.'P., Moiton*' in 1865, in Ins' messages and speeches to thc. people!'of Indiana, warned his party against this suicidal policy. There has already set in a reaction ia the minds of the peo ple of the North against thia great crime against nature and the laws of good government. As an evidence of it, President Grant has sent in a mes sage to Congress, favoring a system of] qualified suffrage to take effect in thc year A. D. 1890. lt is t hc best" .thing he has done since he has been in power and is intended to reach this national evil. God grant that it may do so, before the poison converts the body politic into a putrifying and dying monster. Bot in leaving the ca! unities that affect the National Government, I must consider the misfortunes that now beset our State. Little did I ever dream that ? should see thc proud escutcheon of this State dragged in thc dirt as it has been for the last eight years, umler tho triomphal chariots of thc carpet-bagger, negro'and scalawag; tbe logical results of"the false legislation of the Republican party. This State is composed of gallant men, and glorious women, thc splendid types of the Cavalier and Huguenot, in whose bosoms glow, "that chastity nf honor, which feels a stain like a wound.",* I had^ hoped that for each wrong ar.dY insult giver, tether honored-name, that the-a-ord o? an avenging Nemesis, would nave leaped from ' the scabbard of a thousand of uer sons. But their spirit of manhood and heroic enterprise .has been slumbering like Sampson shorn of his locks. I see to-day that the lires of patriotism have been rekindled, and are huming upon her altars. That brave suns ?rc rallying around her. from*thc plantaina to the seaboard, and that they will rescue her from the degrading supremacy i?f the ignorant and the corrupt rule of "th'e car pet-bagger. During the long years that misrule has thrown its shadow over our Stale, our glorious oki Palmetto, which symbolizes our historic past, has been kept from with ering and dying by the tears of our beau tiful women, hi the glorious future, should it become necessary, it will be watered by the blood of the patriotic sons of South Carolina. 1 feel confident that the spirit that has inscribed " Jicsurgamus' upon her flag, will cause the " Prostrate Stale" to arise and glitter among the constellation ol' Slates, like the morning star, full of hope, full of splendor, and full of joy and hap piness forever.
