HOW THE R10T BEGAN. The Hampton and Tilden Col ored Club of Ward 4 met last evening at Archer's Hall. J. R. Jenkins, the Vice-President, called the meeting to orler, and speeches were made by Jenkins, J. W. Sawyer, Isaac B. Rivers, Aucustus Grant, Stephney Riley, J. W. Barnwell and Lawrence Brown. As there had been a threat thrown out that the colored Radical mem bers of the Live Oak and Hunki dory Clubs would break up the meeting and kill the colored Democrats, it was resolved by the club to escort the colored Dem ocrats to their homes. After the meeting adjourned, about quarter past 10 o'clock, the line was form ed and each colored Democrat was placed in the centre of a half dozen whites. The line then marched up King street quietly and with out interruption, until they reach ed the German Church, opposite the.Cathedral Green; when a mob of about 150 negroes, armed with staves, clubs and pistols, came yell ing after then, h'urrahing for Hayes and Wheeler. The white men stopped, and one of the lead ers of the negro gang who had run up ahead of his crowd accom panied by about a dozen, knocked the first white man he met in the head with a slung shot, and the crowd immediately behind him fired a pistol into the crowd of whites, shouting that they would have the colored Democrats out even if they had to kill every man in the crowd to do it. The whites then returned the fire, shooting over the heads of the negro mob, and a portion of the white men took Rivers, Sawyer and Jenkins, and other colored Democrats to the Citadel, where they were placed under the guard of the United States troops. In a short er time than it takes to tell the story the negro mob had increased to fully three hundred, all of whom were yelling and shouting and breathing threats of violence. There were about forty whites in the crowd, and these retreated back wards up King street, facing the negroes and keeping them off' as well as they could by returning, the fire from the pistols of the mob. On reaching the corner of John street the negro mob was reinforced by another multitude of blacks, who swept out of John street and cut off the retreat of the whites. It was at that point that the fight became hottest. It was now a hand to haqd contest, in which pistol shots exchanged very radidly. Only four or five policemen had arrived at the scene, and these were, of course, powerless to restrain the infuriated mob. Justice Reed, with a white man named Plasp~o1il, then came up and called on aposse of citizens, white and black, to assist him in quieting the row. But the ne groes would listen to nothing. They cried ":blood !" and swore they would have it. Policeman Chas. Green, colored, at this time came up, and, standing between Judge Reed and Mr. Plasphol, did all he could to persuade the crowd to disperse ; they refused, an swering his words with curses and threats. For a moment the~crowd appeared as if quieting, but a skir mish between a white and black man, on the outskirts ofthe crowd, soon renewed the general fight. Policeman Green became surround ed, and endeavored to arrest a man who had just fired off a pistol. Pistols were going off every mo ment, and amid the firing Police man Green fell, shot through the abdomen, and Mr. J. M. Buckner, white, was shot through the ab domen. By this time the police men were reinforced by squads from the upper and lower guard houses, and succeeded in sepa rating the whites from the blacks. The wounded men were taken to the upper guard house by a detail, and the fighting immediately be-I gan again. The whites by this - time numbered only about fifteen men, large numbers of them hay ing been knocked senseless with clubs and palings, with which the mob were armed. After a desul tory fight of about fifteen minutes lbnger the negroes had complete mastery of the field. Policeman Green was the only colored man up to that time who was hurt, and he was shot, it is believed, by one of the negro mob, who at tempted to fire at a white man he was protecting. Several negroes had been knocked down and five or six received bad gashes over the head, but none were seriously hurt.| The negroes then stationed them selves in crowds of forty and fifty at each corner along King street, extending from Calhoun street to the upper guard house, in front of which stood a huge and infuriated mob, eursing and threatening to break in and take out the white men who had been placed there for protection. White man on the ~trppt~ were Reflrca. and as soon as ew moments the unfortunate was urrounded by a pack of over two kundred nogroCs,-who did every-. hing but kill him. They would -nock him down with brickbats, and as soon as he would ge.u up-to un thev would fire pistol shjs at in and over his head, while the rowd ahead would rearrest him md give him another beating. It would be impossible, in a reneral riot like the one last vening, to attempt to give de ails. White man after white man -ame along, totally unconscious y the imnending danger, arid was Naylaid and only saved from death y~the interposition of the police, [News and Courier. The Herald. THOS. F.

That there are many colored men in this town and County who would vote the Democratic ticket if they were not under intimidation is a fact which is well known, and in spite of this they call themselves freemen. What is this but the veriest slavery slavery of the most abject character ; freemen in name but s!aves in princi ple, afraid to assert their manhood and their right to cast their vote as their conscience dictates. Under the party lash of unprincipled leaders they will vote away their very souls as they have all their other interests. It is time they become freemen indeed, and shake off the fear which binds them and keeps them from aiding in ridding the country of corruption, and bring ing about a condition of prosperity which will be for the good of the black as well as the white man. And but little time remains for them to make the choice whether they will turn to the right or still persist in voting against their best interests. Gen Hampton in his speech at An derson said that he did not want a rop of blood shed or a single deed of violncen during the present campaign. Union League Watchwor. We have been handed a copy of an incendiary document purporting to emanate from the Union League, which was found posted on a tree at Martin's Depot, September 7th, and signed by sixteen names, one a white man. This paper, which is styled "Our Union League By-word," is of the most dia bolical character, and the truth of its being found as stated is verified by the names of six responsible and well known citizens of that section. The propriety, however, of giving it publi cation in our columns in this excited state of the canvass is doubted, not only byus but by the Chairman of the County Executive Committee. In ac cordance with these views, and until a more complete verification that it did originate in the League, and that the devilish creed therein set forth is the watchword, we withhold it, and in the meantime lend our earnest efforts to ferret out and bring the signen to the punishment which they are an titled.

PoARIA, S. C., Sept. 4, 1876. MR. EDITOR :-In the absence of' your .Powaria correspondent at the great Centennial Exhibition, I take the liberty of assuming the "duties of his office." On Thursday last, reports were prevalent to the effect that two or more colored REPUBLICAN SPEAKERS would deliver addresses at St. James' negro church, near Pomaria, next day 9 a. m., and be replied to by DEMOCRAT SPEAKERS in the persons of O. L. Schumpert and George Johnstone, Esquires, of your village. The tidings were passed from man to man with almost the celerity of the famous Fiery Cross of Scotland; and Fridiy's noon-time witnessed a good attendance on the grounds. The wri ter, not being versed in the negro custom of keeping appointments, ar rived at about the appointed time; but found it as destitute of man or beast as were Benlodi's sides at the waving of Sir Roderick's hand. Time flew on with heavy wings, until at last, whilst we were in the act of exe cuting a "masterly movement to the rear," a change came over the face of the field, like a vast panoramic revolv ing scene enrolling from the whole circumference. "After all we shall iee the combat:" "But where are the Richards ? The Earls of Richmond, long since come, are quietly awaiting their entrance into -the lists." At last about the sweltering hour of noon, r when by many patience, had ceased to be thought a virtue, James Hender son and J. D. Boston, of your village, arrived and "reported themselves for duty." The Democratic party, through Messrs. Thomas W. Holloway, Alan Johnstone, and Edward Jones, sug gested a "division of time" and alter nate speaking. Each spg r's time s was limited to one hour*; and Thomas s W. Holloway and Harry Counts se slected as "masters of ceremonies." FIRST SPEAKER. John Sloan, alias Jack Livingston, Salias "one-of-the-grandest-rascals-in our-country," a colored Radical, whose character common reports affrm does discredit to even the Republican party at its worst. SECOND SPEAKER. rMr. D. Julius Rents, an active and Svery intelligent Democrat, whose spatriotism and constant efforts therein are now commending themselves to the emulation of all his people, THIRD SPEAKER. IJames Henderson, colored miember of the Legislature. His speech was of the "solo" ordev, ovideutly intended for only those of the most highly temn pered tympanums. However, by por truding the ear as far as possible to wards the speaker, I had the pleasure of catching a portion of his modest peroration, "I want an office, and I want the highest one that you can give me." But he did not say what it should be ; so that now it is not known whether Hayes shall "step down and out," or not. FOURTH SPEAKER. Osborne L. Schumpert, a gentleman long, well and favorably known through his excellent talents and fine literary attainments, and now highly commending himself to the affectionate regard of his countrymen by his noble efforts in their behalf. Speech-sub jet.matter highly pertinent and well selected; delivery neat and ornate; impression made, very favorable. This speech dispelled all fears-our very anxiety to stand as Saul's sometimes engenders the most unwarrantable doubt ;-and our pent-up feelings rush into the other extreme, "Lay on, MacDuff, and damned be he who first -cries 'hold ! enoughl' " FIFTH SPEAKER. The Rev. J. D. Boston, aspirant to State senatorial honors. Speech-'sub ject-matter unusually per tinent ; de -livery, earnest ; impression highly favorable. To deny this colored speaker his meed of praise simply because he belongs to a different race and party "give the Devil his dues"-would de monstrate my unfitness to act as pub lie reporter. He did remarkably well; .sed some very good and grammatical language, with so few exceptions that they need hardly be reckoned; was plausible, to the point, and always ready "with lance or shield," and alto gether was, by far, I think, tha most dangerous open foe in the Republican ranks that day. ISIXTH AND LAST SPEAKER. George Johnstone, Esq., whose or dinary weight is, perhaps, one hundred and forty pounds, but speaking weight much greater, 8peecli--rsub,ject-mia$ ter historical, extremely pertinent add weighty; delivery eloquent; impres sion , grandly favor able. This masterly effort reflected credit not only upon the youthful speaker, but upon his party also. ~ by ,losed St. James' combat; and the lun, "low wheeling in the west," saw frider and horse, friend and foe in >ne red element blent" go tramping iomeward. Did these speeches in )ehalf of Democracy, or, as the first yrator gave it, -,Dimmicratism," do Iny GOOD ? [n all probability, yes, inueb; although it may not be exhibited in an increased umber of colored votes in the coming lection. As to voting it may be fair to say, the negroes are still lying under the Upas tree of this pseudo-Republi anism of South Carolina, enwrapped in those deep slumbers froi which not even Ezekiel's trumpet with its resurrecting blasts could awaken them; but as to other things this much is certain : these speeches removed many erroneous impressions that had already found their way into the susceptible minds of the colored people; cerei ad vitium displayed, as in a panoramic scene, the causes of our country's suf feiing ; prescribed a remedy, the in fallibility of which has been demon strated by a hundred years experience; and faithfully and earnestly exhorted towards its application. Nothing more could have been done; and we never harvest our corn as soon as it is sown. If a disinterested party had been present he would have been struck by this REMARKABLE DIFFERENCE of motives between Democratic and Republican speakers: the foriner work ing for the State alone ; the latter for themselves alone ;' Schumpert and' Johnstone disdaining office; Hender son and Boston pleading for it, led by that insatiable spirit of ambition so beautifully described by Shakspeare (no copy by me) in his lines: "Man ! proud man ! dressed in a little better coat, cuts such fantastic didoes now and then as make the monkey's laugh." And I venture the assertion that he would always discover this remarkable thiDg. I myself cannot now recollect of ever having heard a Republican speak er unless under one or the other of these two circumstances: he wished an ofiee ; or else, having stained him self with the. deepest dyes of villainy, and slunk away to the protecting shades and darkening shades of this pseudo-Republicanism, he felt and spoke like the fallen angels, when, far from the saving "Cross .of Christ," they lay consulting on the Burning Lake. On the other hand,how many examples of disinterested motives among the Democracy ! There were those of these two gentlemen; and another just now occurs to my mind. It is that of Mr. Thomas W. Hollo way, the able and active President of the Pomaria Democratic Club. Whilst recently engaged abroad in arranging the Democratic ticket for the approach ing election, he had the ulisfortune to suffer again from a midnight raid. That FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIX POUNDS OF BACON "wet like a dreaam-by night--wof things that were, .is neither a school boy's talc nor faney of an hour ;" for three weeks have . since elapsed, and still the warrants are returned. "non est inventus." "Why ?" Well probably because the atteution of the loser has been wholly absorbed by his Democratio duties, and he was altogether unwill ing to "save his bacon" at his country's expense. Let them be remembered, countrymen ! G. FOE TE HERALD. MR. EDIToa :--In your issue of the 6th inst., appears an article over the signature of "Mollohon," in which the following questions, to the County nominees of the Democratic party, are propounded, viz: Whether they are all to a man ready for the political battle, and of those who were absent at the time of the session of the County Convention, when the nomi nations weve made, how many have "accepted or will cept the nomina tions ? I was not present in the con vention when the nominations were made, and therefore give my answer to the above question. Bqt ag rneue of the nominees have publicly declined their nominations,iL is certainly equiva lent to an acceptance of the same, and should be so regarded by the people. As it was the pleasure and wisdom of the Convention to make myself,one of the nominees I hereby declare my aeeptance of the noniination. and in doing so, I pledge myself to work for the success of the Democratic party, and promise to do all I can legally and fairly to place the nominees of the Democratic party in o2ce on the day of election. I am now, as I have ever been, ready and. willing to work for the common. good of our country, and if elected to the office for which I have been nominated, I pledge myself to discharge the duties of said office to the best of my ability; ever having in view honesty and integrity, and the common interests of the whole people. The time has come in the history of our country, when every one who has the good of his country at heart, should actively and earnestly, and by all i. and fair ways, go to work to redeemA it from. the misrule and corruption which are so swiftly carrying it to inevitable ruin. I say then that it is not only the duty of every man who desires a good and honest government to vote for it, but to lend his influence by placing his name on the roll of the Democratic Club nearest to him, and not only to enter his name on the roll, but he should be present at every meet ing if possible. By doing this we become united and strong, and become aroused to a sense of our duty. These meetings have an influence, a weight and a power, that will have a telling ~ in 44i~ nanin~dtwn rrhnn I ~av - NEWBERRY, S. C., 8th September, 1876. GENERAL ORDERS. No. 1.

These "heavy weights" tract more attention fron* the average isitor than do some of the lighter but 2uch more valuable-horses. Theie has been recently much complaint nd some alarm caused by the typhoid and 3alarial diseases that have prevailed to an Imost epidemical extent in and about the entennial Grounds. They are said, by edical authority, to result from the large imber of excavations that have so recent y been made in this portion of the city, nd to attack a class of persons, who, from xhaion and hunger, are peculiarly sus eptible to their inroads. The average visi or comes with the intention of "doing" the rhole thing in about three days, and stimu %ted by the enthusiasm of wonder, does an acredible amount, of work, neglecting even. o important a matter as sufficient food. leeble women walk, without being aware f it, twice the distance that they could ave. been persuaded to attempt if it had een measured in straight miles.

It will be advisable to prevent hese attacks by a thorough fortification ot he system through the stomach; and it rill be better to buy sandwiches, cheese, rakers, grapes, etc., at a grocery outside he e-iosure; in this way a better luncheon say be obtained for 25 or 50 cents than an be had at the restaurants for $1 or $1.50. (any of the restaurants within the grounds .re exorbitant in their prices. A rustic ating place called the "Dairy" is an ex eption; there, miilk, cream, buttermilk, utmeal, bread, butter and fruits, (but no neats or hot drinks) may be had at a very esonable price. I have observed, that he restaurants in the main building and in nachinery hall charge considerably less han those within the grounds outside. It tas become quite common for visitors to ae a luncheon with.them, and there are indreds of delightful places where the oonday meal may be enjoyed. It is evident that foreign Exhibitors are ery anxious to dispose -of~ their treasures ; hey would prefer not to take them back, mue the prices asked for many articles on xhibition are ont of all reason. They will ae to pay a heavy duty on every thing hey sell, and they have been at no little xpense while in Philadelphia, but they will have to offset this by the advantages he have derived from advertisement in his' marketL That they will, except in iso ated instances, fail to realise the prices at hich their goods have been marked, is ap iarent, when it is known that similar goods re for sale by importers in many stores in his country, at prices much lower than hey are marked here. The prices asked by xhibitors .may be maintained a while anger, but just before. the close of the xposition they will be sold for much less an is now asked. .The greater-part willt ost probably be sold at- auction after the 0th of November.
