The Liberia Emigrants.
Mr. A. B. Williams, who was sent
with the Azor by the News and Cou
rier, has sent back his first letter,
which was published in a Supplement
Friday. The letter is exceedingly in
teresting, but is so long that we can
not undertake to reproduce it. The
following editorial in News and Cou
rier will give a pretty fair idea of the
voyage:
To-day we publish the first letter
received from Mr. Alfred B. Wil
liams, who sailed from Charleston, on
the bark Azor, bound for Liberia.
This letter give s particulars of the
strange and sad events briefly men
tioned in the cable telegram fro:n
Maderia, and brings before the public,
with strong yet tender touches, the
light and dark sides, the mingled
tragedy and comedy, of the Azor's
terrible voyage. Reading this letter,
so fresh and racy while so thoughtful
and discriminating, we congratulate
ourselves upon the success which has
so far attended the boldest adventure
in the history of Southern journalism,
success largely due to the constancy,
courage and ability of the gentleman
who, with phonographic accuracy, re
produces every noteworthy event in
the novel experiences of the African
emigrants from Charleston.
Sailing from Charleston on April
21, the Azor put inat Sierra Leone on
May 28, and reached Monrovia at
midnight on June 2. The bark
proved herself to be a fast sailer, as
we anticipated, but the winds were
baffling and, with the long calms, pro
tracted the voyage.
When the Azor was only two days
out, it was discovered that the pro
visions generally were bad and unfit
for use. There was asuperabundance
of meal, flour and rice, and a good
quantity of pork and salt beef, but
the flour was coarse and black, and
the meal only fit "for hogs to eat."
There was meat enough, but it was
not meat supplied by the Exodus As
sociation. With the exeeption of five
barrels, the meat belonged to the stores
of the emigrants, intended for their sup
port in Liberia until their first crop
should be made. This is a bad begin
ning, as i is mentioned by Mr. Wil
liams that the emigrants are entirely
without money. How they will live in a
strange land, penniless as almost all of
them, are helpless as are too many of
them, we shall hope to learn in sub
sequent letters.
The emigrants proved to be docile
and obedient, but it was impracticable
to make them sparing in consuming
- food and water, and impossible to
make them tidy and cleanly in their
habits: They would take no'exercise.
Some of thema did not venture on
deck during the whole voyage. Cold
water they regarded with holy horror.
Between decks, in the morning, there
was as much dirt and confusion as can
be found in any crowded negro hovel
on the Carolina coast. Capt. Holmes
and his officers caused the whole ship
to be regularly swept and scraped, and
required the bedding and clothing to
be aired and dried frequently. Serious
sickness might have been avoided but
for two facts. One, is that there
were cases of measles aboard when
the Azor left Charleston, and the
other is, that George Curtis, who was
represented to be a competent physi
cian, proved himself an arrant igno
ramus, as conceited as stupid. Mr.
Williams says that the Rev. B. F.
Porter, the President of the Exodus
Association, assured Collector Baldwin
at Charleston that he "knew" Curtis
was qualified to act as ship's physi
cian. This agrees with our informa
tion on the subject. Collector Bald
win was wilfully and deliberately mis
led. In truth, in the words of Mr.
Williams, this man Curtis "knows
about as much about medicine as "a
street-car mule." More mischievous
than a mule, Curtis administered med
icines of the nature and probable
effects of which he knew nothing.
To a poor creature who had the
measles, Curtis administered, in the
course of one morning, "Coffee, with
an infusion of ginger, a Dover's
powder and Friar's Balsam." She
died the same day. Calomel and
jalap were the favorite prescriptions,
and it soon became necessary for Capt.
Holmes to prohibit any further ex
perimenting by Dr. Curtis. The enii
grants had been assured by the mana
gers of the Association that a phy
sician from Washington would accom
pany the Azor. Upon this they re
lied. Not only was there no phy
sician, but there were no such medical
stores as good spirits and wines, sago
and arrowroot. When stimulants were
needed for the sick, the slender pri.
vate stores of Capt. Holmes and Mr.
Williams were resorted to. With a
short allowance of water, with food of
poor quality, and without a physician,
it is not strange that the death roll
should have been so large. It stands
thus :
[Here follows the list of the dead
twenty-three in al.
There were two births during the
passage. For the deaths that took
place abroad of the Azor the Liberian
Exodus Association are, in the main,
responsible. Their deception, their
bad faith, their mismanagement, their
falsehoods an evasions, led to the
long delays in Charleston, to the im
pecunious condition of the emigrants,
and to the sickness and death of more
than a score of the ignorant and
thoughtless people who hoped to find
in Africa more freedom and more
ease than they knew in the South.
Theirs is now the freedom of death,
and the ease of life eternal.
It cannot be doubted that Capt.
Holmes and his officers did all that
men of discretion and experience
might do to lessen the discomforts of
~h~ na~enc~ers. and to save them. in
ting to each and every one the ex
anple of equanimity, patience, and
unosteutatious bravery.
We shall be able to publish in a
day or two, we expect, a letter from
Mr. Williams, giving the experiences
of the Azor and her duskey freight at
Sierra Leone, and reporting formally
the arrival of the bark at Monrovia.
Only the first chapter is yet published
of what will prove to be a story of
real life and adventure stranger by
far than fiction.

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

FOR GOVERNOR:
WADE HAMPTON.
Shoulder to Shoulder.
It is apparent to the most casual
observer that there is not that unity
and strength of organization among
the Democracy that characterized
the party two years ago. A feeling
of security has taken possession of
many; they think that victory has
been won, and there is nothing more
to do but to enjoy it, forgetting
that feternal vigilance is the price
of liberty." We do not take the
role of alarmist. There is no im
mediate danger of a return of the
rabid radical supremacy such as
pillaged and disgraced the State
from 1868 to 1877; but there is
danger of losing apart of the ground
already gained. We should not
forget for a moment that the Dem
ocratic party is in the minority in
this State, that it required the uni
ted and the most heroic effort in
1876 to elect our State officers,
and that the sante unity and a
like effort will be required to
perpetuate the victory. Does any
one suppose that the Republi
can party of the country will quiet
ly stand by and see South Carolina,
with her five Representatives and
her two Senators, pass completely
into the hands of their opponents ?
If he does he is greatly mistaken.
That party well knows that if the
Democracy carry this State this
fall for State officers, Congress and
the Legislatture, two years hence
she will be able to choose all the
seven Presidential Electors. The
Republicans of the North are not
ready yet to give up political pow
er : they will make every effort to
retain it, aiid their chief efforts will
be directed to this and two or
three other Southern States. The
Republicans in this State- are
quiet now. It is their policy to be
so, and thus to lull the Democracy
into a fancied security. They are
still organized, and no organization
was ever more complkte. They are
ready to seize upon the first oppor
tunity that offers to regain some of
their lost ground. That oppor tu
nity is the Congressional and Legis
lative elections. Ulpon these points
they will concentrate all their forces.
They have declared that they can
and will elect three out of five Rep
resentatives to Congress. For this
end the North will furnish money
and other support. They see the
Senate slipping from their grasp,
and they hope to regain the House.
If they succeed in this, and if Grant
be the candidate for President in
1880, as he is almost sure to be,
they will certainly carry the elec
tion. As to the State Legislature
the Republicans will make a hard
fight for it, at least such are the in
dications. Do not be deceived be.
cause they are so quiet. They are
not dead, nor do they sleep ; they
are working in the dark. At a
large meeting in Richland County
last week they resolved to make an
effort to carry that County. They
expect to carry Charleston, Wil
liamsburg, Beaufort, Orangeburg
and other Counties where they have
a large majority ; and in Counties
where the two parties are nearly
equally divided they expect to elect
Independents. For the State offi
cers they will make no fight, and
this fact may lead some into the
error of thinking there will b.e no
opposition in -any quarter. Our
firm conviction is that there will. be

Plain Talk from the Governor.
At the reunion of the survivors
of "Hart's Battery," at Blackville,
the 4th, Governor Hampton made
a speech, in which he said that he
was satisfied the Democracy could
carry the State upon the platform
of 1876, and upon no other. If that
policy be adhered to, and he could
aid the State, his services were at
the command of the people of South
Carolina; but if, through the ma
chinations of demagogues, other
policies were injected into it during
the .coming Convention, he could
not, no not even for South Carolina.
surrender his principle. To save
the State he would willingly sur
render his life, but his honor,
never !
We are indebted to the Journal
of Commerce for his speech' in full,
which is as follows:
My Friends of Barnwell: When
I was invited here to participate in
this re-union, and to help to do honor
to the valor of Hart's Battery, a com
mand to which the people of B3arn
well contributed so much, both in
men and material, I came to be a
silent participator. not to make a
speech. So I have not come with any
preparation, for I reme.mber that
when I came to old Barowell last
snmmer, your distinguished leader,
Gen. Hagood, who was then running
the machinery of the campaign, told
me that he had the most perfect COD
tempt for all speeches, and that they
did no good in the world. [Laughter.]
Hie also told me that as I had to
speak, anyhow, I might as well go on,
but not to make it longer than ten
minutes. [Laughter ] I complied
with his request, for I felt satisfied
that under the martial law which he
semed to have established her'e, if I
had spoken more than ten minutes he
would have me taken out, court-mar
tialed, and shot on the spot. [Ap
plause and laughter.] I can scarcely
say more to you than to say what
Burke once said, when asked to follow
a great speaker in a debate in the
House of Commons, I say "ditto,
ditto," to all that has been said by
General Conner. As I sat and lis
tened to the advice of that man
who has made so matny sacri6ees for
the State-as great sacrifices as any
man could make-I knew that I could
wet listen to better advice. That it
was the sound judgment, discretion
and conservatism which marked his
course throughog. When I heard
him advise you to scorn office seekers,
ad look only to men who would su
bordinate their own to the public in,
terest, to send our best men to
the legislature, I felt that he was the
one man whose voice should be the
best and truest exponent of the true
sentiment of the good people of-South
Carolina. (Cheers.) If I would add
anything to what he bas said, it would
be to assure you that the victory is
not yet won; that on your conduct
during the next two years depend the
future prosperity of this State;
whether your future shall be glorious
and happy, or whether it will be like
the dark past of the last ten years.
Will you serve God, or mammon ? If
you listen to demagogues, to men who
will harangue you, and who will tell
you that the glorious platform of 1876
was well enough for a promise, but
that you should not heed the pledges
made then, I say you may as well
relinquish the fight right now, for
South Carolina will soon be returned
to the hands of those who misgoverned
her two years ago. Not only that, but
we shall
LOSE THE PREsIDENTIAL ELECTION
and make the great National Demo
cratic party a failure. [A voice
We'll never do it.] I don't think
you will. Barnwell claims to be the
banner county of the State, and she
has established her right to the claim.
[Cheers.] Why ? Because you re
eognized the equality of every citizen
before the law. You went to the col
ored people and asked them to aid you
in redee:ning the State. You told
them that their rights would be pro
teeted; you appealed to them to help
you to work out the redemption of our
:ommon country, and they came to
your help. Would you now, when
hey heeded your call and helped you
in your hour of need, turn your backs
upon them, forget your promises, and
-a to them, now that you have helped
3ension in the ranks. Our success
in State as well as in national t
politics demand entire harmony and I
unity in feeling and action. We i
want no hybrid Democracy. If the 1
party be true to its principles we I'
shall carry the election in every I
part of the State, andin 1S80 we
shall be prepared to give the whole i
electoral vote of the State for the i
Democratic candidate for the Presi
dency. Let the Democracy of New
berry County, at least, see that they
do their duty.
Redmond, the Outlaw.
Carl McKinley, special corres
pondent of the Charleston News
and Courier, has succeeded in ob
taining an interview with Redmond,
the outlaw, whose exploits in North
and South Carolina has rendered
him famous, and for whose appre
hension, dead or alive, there is a
reward of $1,000. McKinley's un
dertaking was a dangerous one, and
he deserves great credit for its
successful accomplishment. He
went to Pickens Court House and
there addressed a note to Redmond,
asking an interview at any time and
place and under whatever restric
tins the latter might require, and
put it in the hands of a friend of
R.'s. In a few days a favorable an
swer came, and the interview was
had~away up in the mountains of
the Blue Ridge. The correspond
ent describes Redmond as twenty
three years old, handsome, frank
and gentlemanly. He is a native
of Georgia, but removed to this
State when a boy, where he sup
ported his aged and infirm father, a
bed-ridden mother and three sisters
by working on the farm in the day
and distilling at night (this was be
fore the revenue laws.) After the
passage of the revenue laws the offi
cers got after him; they arrested
his father, seventy-eight years old,
and carried him to Asheville. His
mother was so frightened that she
died in a few days; his father died
a few weeks afterwards from fatigue
and exposure consequent on his ar
rest. The next was the killing of
Duckworth, a revenue officer, who
attempted to arrest him without a
warrant. Sometime after this he
was betrayed by a man named Van
Hendricks, surrounded and cap
tured, together with a young 'nan
named Amos Ladd, the same that
was killed only a few weeks ago by
revenue officers in Pickens County.
He escaped from his captors with
his hands tied, and then returned
single handed and rescued Ladd
from a -dozen officers, wounding
several of the party. While under
arrest, Barton, one of the officers,
robbed him of his horse and $186.
He went to Barton's house and de
manded back his horse and money.
Finding Barton and his w:fe in
straitened circumstances he took
$100 and gave them the other $86
and the horse. We cannot follow
him through his eventful career.
Redmond declares himself ready
at any time to surrender himself to
the State Conrts for trial, satjshed
that if fairness and justice be done
him he has nothing to fear ; but he
says he is not willing to be tried by
the United States Court, where the
revenue officers could swear his life
away, or pay some one else to do it.
If Bedmond's tale be true, and it
reads like the truth, he is a man
more sinned against than sinning.
A Greenville correspondent of the
2Vews and Courier saks : "It seems
to be the general impression that
none of the old members will be
returned (to the Legislature). The
most interest centres in the re
election of Gen. Gray, who is
opposed by ex-Judge Cooke." Well,
it's none of our funeral, but if
Greenville County is so utterly
demented as to prefer Cooke to the
gallant and high-toned Gray, one
of the best and truest men of the
last General Assembly, then-well,
may the Lord have mercy on them.

[Prolonged cheers.] I stand on the
platform of '76, squarely and fully.
As far as my official career, I chal
leoge any man to put his finger' on a
single act of mine which is not in ac

of the State gave me that platform as
a chart and compass, an*d I have used
it as my guide. We have accepted
the platform of the National Demo
cratic party, which recognizes the
equality of every citizen before the
law, and we must abide by its rules.
[Cheers.] In all parts of this State
from where old ocean meets the .shore
to where the Blue Ridge kisses the
sky, we have promised the colored
people to carry out these pledges in
good faith, and I tell you that I and
the gentlemen who now hold the of

arm than violate a Single one of these
pledges. [Cheers.] I have heard ru

could easily covnt in our candidates.

Ouro Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. C.,
July 3, 1878.
One effect of the Potter Investiga
tion has been to make Senator Kel
logg, of Louisiana, the favorite at the
White House. An affair which has
damaged so many Republicans has
helped the fortunes of thisone. Kel
logg is said to have gone to New Or
leans poor, to have had no legitimate
occupation while there, and to be
worth two millions of dollars now.
His "luck" is as great as that of
Hayes. Now that this Louisiana mess
is before us again, it is worth while to
remember the character of the people
who carried that State year after year
against all the intelligence and hon
esty there was in it. Except Packard
there -is hardly ore of that host of
carpet-baggers who would be believed
under oath.
Eliza Pinkston, by the way, whose
wounds and bruises had so conspicu
ous a part in the affairs of 1876, has
made a confession, to the effect that
politics had nothing to do with the
killing of her husband or with her
mutilation, and that she was paid five
hundred dollars for exhibiting herself
and her miseries'to the visiting States
men. She adds to this story another
which is so exquisitely characteristic
of the Louisiana Republican that it
makes one believe all that she now
says. It is that she put the most of
this five hundred dollars in the hands
of one of Hayes' electors, and could
never get it back.
In the investigation here the most
important fact developed in'the last
j few days is that made by William E.
) Chandler, that Mr. Hayes and his im
) mediate friends, prior to the settlement
'of the Presidential question, had de
cided to throw Chamberlain and Pack
ard overboard and had made arrange
ments to secure Republican Senators
from Louisiana and South Carolina.
Mrs. Jenks, again recalled, appeared
t yesterday before the Committee, and
r then disappeared forever. The Com
e mittee adjourns to-day until the 11th.

ievening in Philadelphia:, and eulogized

rLet me repeat former advice to

Stion of candidates for the House of
eRepresentatives this Fall, and wherev
er a man has been found worthy, to
renominate him. it is training in
any calling that makes men of value
that gives them steadiness in battle or
influence in deliberative bodies. I
Scan point to a State whose Republican
delegation, not of more than average
ability, has in the last two years exer
Bcised more influence than that of other
eStates having twice the number of
little experience. This is what strikes
all who live here and observe the pro.
