The Radical Meeting of Saturday
Last.
It Turns Ont to be a Small and Tame
Affair. 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. Bnizard/.'r

AIKEN, S. C. Oetobar 12.
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

Canton and Blackwell.

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.

resented.

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

complicity in it, and yet, when tho Court

had.no legal evidence,.but bau rio tn di ct-r

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.
