[Prom the Abbeville Press and Dunner.j Last Sunday the Gecenvillo and Colum bia Riil mad mn excursion tinins from Greenville, Walhalla, Abbeville, and Co lumbia, and intermediato stations, to the camp meeting which was being held at Sandy Springs, ten miles above Anderson Court House About one hundred tickets were hold ot Abbeville. At Hodges thc Abbeville train was met by tjie Columbia train, which WUB crowded, and thc numbers were increased nt every station until the destination waa reached. Tho trajn from this end of tho lead when it reached thc camp ground consisted of eleven cooche?, wbioh wcro filled to a jam. Ttio day hud little thc appearance of being thc Sabbath. As a soldier during the war, and ns a citi zen during thc campaign of 187G, wo have seen Romo pretty rough crowds, but wo think the crowd on Sunday wu? equal to anything that wc have ever seen. A num. bor of the excursionists had procured bot tles of whiskey for tho occasion, and us thc liquor began to have tho expected effect, tho legitimate results followed. Desiring to BOC some relatives at Honca Path, wc got olf tho train nt that point, but wc learn that the conduct of some of thc parties on the campground was reprehensible in tho high est dogrec. Along thc route as thc train neared Smdy Springs it became noisy. Although ladies were on thc cars thc lan guage; indulged in by some of thc men waa profane .and obscene, and their conduct was otherwise disgusting. It is said that soir.o ono on thc trui.*? shot nt Rome negroes stand ing by tho road as the train passed. All sense of propriety uno decency was offended by the inproper treatment thc negro women icooived on tho train, while the very air was polluted with tobacco, whiskey and coarse language. On tho grounds within u short distunco of th? stand much disorder, loud talk, firing of pistols, &o , oro reported to have taken piuco At tho railroad where thc train was unloaded is a crossing lor vehicles. A largo crowd waiting tor the departure of tho train w?re standing there in thc afternoon A number of mischiev ous boys stopped puB<ors by, cutting the h a FD ess Qf their horses, toking lipid pl buggy wheels, or making other interrup tions. A octrro mun with a whim wifo Raid to bo from Elbert Cpuniy, Georgia, was thine. Thc boys (ook bold of thom, knocked their beaus tpgctlicr, cuffed und beut ibo negro until he wan prono on thc ground. AftcrwurUn regaining his feet ho ran off, mid was shot at as he wen;. In tho above wo refer to tho conduct of com paratively n few persons. Tho great major ity of those present were quiet, decent und Well boliHVed, but ibero wert; enough of uncontrollable spirits lo desoeruto tho day, and to brim; reproach upon tho crowd. If Robinson hud advertised his big circus nt , some point ou thc mad und run oztra trains ho would not havo drawn a moro irrovoront crowd. If wo aro to toko the conduct of tho orowt' on Sunday os indicating any thing, wv> \To approaching a fearful stato of morals in this country. Wo have heard Romo attaoh biomo to tho railroad authori ties for tho running of tho train, hut wc think this is all wrong. Thc blamo is else where. Many good men bclicvo that there is uo moro barm in running a train to carry peoplo to church, that) there is in running private vehicles, for thc same purpose, thc only difference is, in tho groatly increased numbers that go on tho train. Tho rail road authorities in running tho train only answered a publie demand, nnd offered the accommodation at a low prie?, for which suroly tho publio should not bc ungrateful. Wc cannot seo how they cnn be held at all responsible for tho conduct of their passen gers. Tho blame cannot bc shifted to tho railroad authorities, but must bo borne by tho country nt largo. To prevent n recur rence of so disgraceful n frolic ou Sunday would it not bo advisable to hold camp meetings cutircly on week days? ["From the Abbeville Medium.J. Last Sunday special trains were ruu by tho Greenville and Columbia Railroad to the Sandy Springs camp meeting in Ander son County. Thc trains ran from Columbia, Abbeville, Greenville nnd Walhalla and tho crowd collected at the camp ground did not number by any calculation less than five thousand. There wds preaching in thc church and nt tho shed in thc morning and much fooling was manifested by thc devout worshippers who gathered about thc altnrs. Thu disorder bcciimc so great throughout thc cnnp that, thc afternoon services wnro dispensed with nnd the meeting was effcotu ally broken up for tho day. After dinner th- excursion parly gathered at tho railroad crossing nnd for three hours awaited thc departure of the train which wns unavoida bly delayed. It was three hours of mortal agony such as wc hope never nguiu to expe rience. Crowding upon tho crossing the drunken, swearing, vulgar robbie luid "vio lent hands upon every passer by und out?, raged nil decency by their obscenity. White and black, men and women, wero mixed up in almost inextricable confusion, and lhere wns no csoupo or security from tho outrageous mob. A negro with n whiskey barrel mounted on a pine tablo ut thc side of the road sold cider ot five cents ? lin cup full nod just under cover of thc bushes un improvised bar-room was in full bl.ist where the drunken bullies gol. drunker Mill, und ou every side could bc heard thc most awful profanity und thc foulest songs. A negro man who had mar ried II white woman was made thc special object of thc mob's untempered wrath mid was most mercilessly handled. ile was h'Won off the grounds, kicked, cuffed mid tursoc1 fdep u? sll'Pi ?nd was stabbed in thc lack ano".beni."-? over the head wit'? a pistol [t wus a miracle .'hat he escaped death und hose who assaut Wm should be severely mnished und taufc'M tili* tlioro is still a ind in Israel ?nd law iV* ?bc .bind. On the rain tba seono beggared inscription nnd in .pile of thc presence of ladit-J tilings were said and done thut men should i>C ashamed o say to ouch other. Tho cars WeJ'e full )f tobacco smoke and simile with nib."*ll ivhiskcy. There was no respect shown to tho ladies nod such infernal desecration of Ihe day never before occurred in upper Dandilla.? Wc cannot in this place enume rate ibo half that was done, but we hope Lhat our civilization will never receive such mother fearful .hook. Tho camp meeting authorities cannot bc blamed mid thc rail road company only catered to n depraved public taste. The good people of nil con ditions should set about correcting tho morality which makes such occurrences possible. Reiter homo training, a more practical Christianity mid a sterner enforce ment of the law will do something to reform thc situation. [From tho Anderson Intelligencer.[J Thc excursion over tho Grcenvil'.o nntl Columbia Railroad to Sandy Springs or lust Sunday was the largest of tho senson, Trains were run from Columbia, Greenville Abbeville and Walhalla ot greatly reduced rutes of faro, mid every par was crowded Thc train from Columbia left that plac? with forty-seven passengers, and nt even station on tho linc received udditions to it numbers. Thc truin from Abbeville in crruscd its load very considerably, und whci it reached Relton the crowd from Green villo awaiting it swelled tho number t thirteen hundred. Thc w liol o train, con sisting of thirteen coaches, and in order t avoid further crowding mid jamming nt thi pince, it passed through without makin tiny halt at till. A second train came up few minutes after thc first one passed, bu us thc only accommodations for passenger wero thrr-.) box ours, it was not nt a orowded, und sevcrai of those who coote? ploted going, and hod ncoordingl bought tickets, had tboir money refunde ruihcr than put up with tho sorry nccom modntionc. Tho pecond train left this poir wit ii eighty passengers, most of whom wei colored nnd wus onllcd to the assistance t thc first trujo, whioh stuuldcd about Hird Crossing. They arrived at tho grounds i safety, however, about 12 o'clock, or short! after. Wc learn tho train from Walhal wus also very much crowded, and that brought dqwn over seven hundred passet gera. Tho, day's work was certuinly a b: one for the Railroad, which realized least twelvo or ii ll cen hundred dollar The con'duet of a largo number of tho pat songera ny they passed this ploco was at thing but orderly. Tho shouting, balloon ond other unnecessary noises kept up on tho train were distinctly hoard several hun dred yards fronj tho railroad. It seemed moro like on excursion to a big frolic than to a religious meeting, nnd that every body on board took it for granted that no ono cxpeotcd good behavior. The conduct of many of the young men after they ar rived nt Sandy Springs was not only dis respectful, but disgraceful ju tho extreme. While thc order immediately about tho stw)d and church was gcncrslly very good, out ou tho outskirts and about tho railroad it was extremely bad, ond calls for tho severest condemnation. It reflects groat discredit on tho morals and characters ot' n, large number, who not only engaged in loud swearing and excessive drinking, but also in many other vices equally us degrading. It ia a day that will long be remembered by n great many who wero in ?ttc?danco on tho meeting, many scenes of which we hopo will never ogoin bc cuactcd. Wo understand that the authorities of thu camp meeting were opposed to having the trains run, and CYCU requested thot they should not bc run if so, wo must s-iy that tho railroad authorities tiro responsible for put ting these trains on asa mutter of business on Sunday to run to a religious meeting, whioh was anxious to have them dispensed with. Bo it said to tho credit of tho young men of Anderson they were io no wise connected ?villi uny of thc bad behavior. J"From tho Anderson Journal.]}. This time honored gathering has onco more come and gone, nod the good people of thc country may well pause and reflect upon the general effect of it. There was a large attendance upon thc meeting from the beginning, and on Sunday there was some 0,000 to 8,000.people upon thc camp ground, about 2,000 of thom going on tho special excursion, trains run thnt day from Walhalla, Greenville, Abbeville und Co lumbia. There wore hundred? of devout people present, who went thcro through pious motives, but tho great majority of the pcoplo wcut Ibero through idlo curiosity or on a general holiday frolicking expedition. Wc have nothing whatever to say concern ing thc amount of good accomplished at thc meeting, for it falls HO far short of balancing ogainst thc evil on thc oilier baud that it is scarcely worth taking into consideration. To nttcmpt n detailed account of tho disor derly conduct end flagrant wickedness attendant upon thc occasion would bo futile We reached tho camp ground on tho Walhalla train from Seneca City and came away on the Columbia train to Ander son, and wo can say that wc have never seen ou any occasion such a disorderly, disrespectful and riotous mob. It being tho Sabbath day and there being a hrgc number of ladies on each train we were utterly shocked at thc amount of loud curs ing, shouting and pistol shouting which wo regard ns n fearful commentary upon tho civilization of our time?. Immediately around tho church and arbor there was comparative order kept, but it was f?r different on thc outskirts, whi'c ot thc railroad crossing tho scene beggars descrip tion. A negro man and a white woman who were found associating together, appar ently married, were chased som o distance and thc old man mercilessly beaten with Blicks and dubs. We heard one pistol shot Juring tho chase, and it is rumored that ho has binoc died from injuries received. Wc know th?t nono of thc disorderly parties woro from thc town of Anderson, ond wc arc pursuaded that tho majority of them name from a distance. What is tho lesion? That there should never be anything of thc kind in our county again. Where is thc responsibility? Some say that it was nothing but thc demoralized state of affaire that existe among our people brought together in a collective form and appearing moro hideous than it would appear scat tered throughout the country. This may be 60, but w-* regard it os un exceedingly libera! view to say thc least. Others say that tho railroad authorities arc responsible for their running tho ppcciil trains on the occasion, but it moy bo said thst they would hot have been run but for the public demand for them, lt is on this account that Sunday mail trains arc run, and for that matter that railroads aro built and run at all. Others still lay tho blame nt thc door of thc ministers for having tho meeting wheq auch thiugs wero liable to occur, and they oro defended on thc ground that they earnestly requested tlint tho trains should not bc run on Sunduy. Wp dou't propose to locate tho blame or puggest a remedy, Wo know that thc evil han' transpired thal bi i ii-j M tho blush to all our best oitizens, and wo sincerely hopo that wo will bc spared tho shamo of its repetition ot any timo in tho futuro. \ SAD ACCIDENT ty KAU TOWNVIM.K.

NEW YORK, Soptorabor 19_Tho Kelly - Hobiusou quarrel doca nbT get into tho newspapers io nil its bitterness. Newspa per words could not express tho unotion with which tho rank uud filo of thc Tam* many hosts pronounco aguihst Mr. Tilden nod Mr. Robinson. There was wavering oil oloug thc lino until Kelly returned on Monday, and then thc column prcscutcd.n solid front, and it still maintains it. There is disci pl iuo inv Tammany ns in no other political organization in New York State. Kelly's word is luw, and very freely is it spoken. Not a candidate runs on a local ticket without his permission. If a man becomes ambitious to get iuto tho board of aldermen, or to bc sent to tho Legislature, he goes first to Kelly and opens bis heart to tho great chief. "Well, get out into your district," Kelly responds, iu his quick, gruff way, "Vlf around, seo what you can io, come to mc two weeks boneo, and lets hear how much of a supporting you have." ? fl goes thc encouraged candidato ou a hunt for support. Kelly calls a trusted lieutenant, tells him what tho caudidato has said and ntnrts him off, too, to seo whether tho man has any backing at all. A week before tho nominating eouvention >ll thc Tammany oandidates arc scratching iround in Geared of favorable information 0 rcturu to Kelly. At thc appointed dour thc man makes his report. Kelly simply Hays: "You C3ii't have it; 1 want Ioho Doc nominated." There uro no explanations. Thc candidate hasn't been : rented oven courteously by the big chief, jut there's nothing to bc done about i', and iway he goos to work for tho man who hos beaten him. This treatment has made Kelly hosts of enemies in Tammany Hall; fd not ono of them lins dared to admit it 1 hove 0, whipper. Kelly is boss; Kell; has ill thc influential men of thc organisation at tis back. Kelly must bo obeyed. Tho cost kick in the traces results in thc expul sion of thc refractory member. It has icen tried now und then; it always fails. Kelly is not a ooiixer or sly schemer. What ie has to say he blurts nut in thunderbolts; tis want so and so;" "1 must have bis;" "7 must hnvo that." There would ?avo been revolt in Tammany months &.30 ?ad the opposition been possessed of a man )f enough brains to lead them, but thc mon )f influence were on Kel ly'o si !o. lt son not bc learned that more than two or bree men bad anything to do with tho iction of lust week in bolting thc Syracuse SOuvcntion, Nobody, even muong tho caders of thc party, waa consulted. By .ho score they ncknowledgo this when tressed Thc first sonic o?,' I hem Ln?w of .he intended notion was a month apo, when :he J'Jvcniiu/ J'Jxprcsn, Kelly's organ, an lounccd that Tammany would not voto for Lucius Robinson in tho event of his renom nitiou. Sho ??'ar, Kelly's morning Org&n, .epcatcd the throat. Nobody in Tam mo ny knew what it incant, they did kuow that it jame from hcadquarti rs. A week before tic convention Kelly called thc committee on orpntiizntion f opel lier nnd said "Tam nany will not vote for Lucius Robinson if 10 is renominated for Cjovernor. He wrote t out as a resolution and called for a vote, livery member voted in favor of if. What ilse could they do? If ono had opposed I13 vould have been expelled. Next night [Colly called tho Tammany general com mil co together. This body is made typ of thc jhairmen of thc Tu ttl ino ny district commit-* ces, of wliioh tbcro is otic in every cloe* iou d'utriot and several hundreds MI all Kelly said: "I want each mau to riso in hi: place and pledge that in the ovenl of Lucius Robinson's renominoticn ho will vott against bim, and to pledge that his dislriel will vote npoin^t bim." livery man did a he was bid, and no ono dared to qucstioi Kelly's right to make tho demand. Thci Kelly ordered that every delegate on bein j clect-d to go to Syracuse should pledg himself to walk out of tho convention if i bcoMuc plain that Robinson was to bc th onndidatc, and this was done, and abo b his order the delegation met on tho evo c stirling for Syracuso and repealed th pledge. All this without dissent from on one, although no ono had been consultci How well they obeyed is political history. THK llIFFlCur/riKS KELLY HAS TO KNCOUM TER. Now that it is done Tammany holds fas Of the G.0,000 persons who voted with tl organization last fall ti half a dozen hn\ resigned. Very little is said by others sa\ that they will stand by tho bolt. Wcro tl election to bo held to-morrow Kt Hy wouh most experienced politicians say, poll 60 OOO votes in tho city alone, for Tamilian would sustain him toa man. Rut thc san experienced men soy thnt a rod is in pick for Mr. Kolly, and this is tho way tin demonstrate tho truth of tho prcdiclioi Tbcro is always a scramble for local oluoi in Tammany Hail. Candidates by tl soorc turn up from every election distric It lins always devolved upon Kolly to nan tho man who is to run. As outlined abov the nineteen defcatod onos have retired silent acquicsconoe, smarting undor Koli) gruff dismissals and almost insulting word Heretofore tbcro has been no appeal. Tl year oil who hove grievances have a prctc for rovolt. It is whoo tho local nomin tions como to bo made that tho t( of tho bolt will bc had. Tho list lonj?. There RIC to bo nominated a sheri County Clerk, tliroo Coroner?, a Judgo of Common Pleas, two Judges of tho Marroo Court, a District Judgo, sovon State Sono tors, twenty four Assemblymen and twenty two aldermen-in all, sixty-two candidates, nil of whom have more or less patronago ot their disposal and a rabble of friends at their back. Por every successful candidato there will bc a largo number of unsuccessful ones, who ho YO their local following and who this jear have good cause for bolting Mr. Kolly's ticket. To add to the complications, tho Sheriff, County Clerk and Coroners aro to bo voted for on election day upon tho samo ticket with tho Governor, and a3 John Kelly's nome will lead thc ticket, and thero is no hope whatever of his election, it will bo about tho same mi sure defeat for the men who accept these offices. This will tend to embarrass Kelly greatly, if he persists in running. The emdidntes for these places arc assessed not less than 812,000 apieco for election expenses, und defeat stares them in thc face this year. Tho predictions of thc best informed aro that Kelly will bo utterly demoralized before election day arrives* it is counted cn by the Robinson men that thcro will bo a grand break l\p ofter thc local nomina tions arc made. For the offices other than Sheriff, County Clerk and Coroner, thcro will bc hundreds of disappointed candidates who will carry their followers over to tho Robinson men, und in many eases will bo rewarded with tho very nominations they sought tn Tammany as tho price for their desertion. Yet to this hour there has not been a symptom of such a break-up. Kelly's men stand firm. Tho Robinson men show no signs of making up to them. Roth sides aro to begin ratifications and demon strations next week. Kelly is to stump tho State. Kolly clubs have been organized in half Jo7.cn counties already. Thc old canal ring wheels into line for him with tho precision of a regiment of veterans. It is war to thc knife Agoin&t Tilden. Kill him this fall and ho is dead forever, they say. If bc pulls through now he moy pull through a year from now, und thou good bye Tam many. It's a clear ease of life or death with both Tilden and Kelly, and both scorn to realize tho fact. In this critics! moment a little encouragement for Kelly from tho interior cities would go a great way toward helping bun through tho bolt. Mcanwhilo don't imagine that Tilden is idle. When he is working hardest ho is making tU.? least noise. Tim COTTON MARKET,-Tho colton market is not controlled by supply and demand. The sudden rite and fall in the price of tho staple cannot be accounted for on ouy of thc common laws ol business. If supply and demand regulated tho pricb there would be the same fluctuation in tho prices of cotton goods. Thc whole crop iyi manipulated and controlled by speculators who manage it to their own advantage and much to tho loss of the producers. They combine to make money while the planters stand aloof from any combination and consequently oro unable to protect them selves. They ore obliged to take what they can get without any regard to what the cost of production has been. So tim wholo crop is consumed and nothing is left (j? start on for another year in which the samo policy is carried oiit. If tho farmers ever moan tu protect themselves they had bettor oct about it. Congress or thc Legialuturco of tho different States should enact a law' making gambling in cotton futures punish able by lino and imprisonment. It is tho very worst and most dangerous species of gambling und h rs ruined many of thc most reputable business men in tho country. Laws are enacted against curd playing, lot-" torie!' and other gamea of chanco and rigidly enforced, but there i* no way to reach tho greatest gamblers of them nil, cotton fu tures. Tho market can never bc in a healthy condition ns long os it is controlled and directed by the cotton gamblers who fix the price of the staple befovo it is ever planted, nod rob the planters under the sanction or at least by permission cf tho laws. If tuen wero houcst like they used, to ho and were content to get rioh by tho ordinary methods of trade, thero might not) bo so much glitter and show, but {.hera would certainly ho more real and fjubstun? tial prosperity. - AhlcviUo Medium. RESULT OK THE MONINOII TRIAL AT LAURENS.-Tho famous case of tho Stato against McNinch for thc killing of Kilgoro occupied fivo days of the court last week. Thc trial commenced on Tuesday. Con siderable troublo was experienced in cm pnuncling the jury, and the panel was not completo until after two days' timo hncj been consumed. Tho counsel for tho defence exercised to tho full extent of tho right to "challenge." and lo put jurors oti their trotV dire. Many were unable to swear that they had not expressed or formed an opinion in thc case, and of courro wero ordered to stand aside. The case wi o hundid to the jury Saturday night, and in a short while a verdict of "guilty of man slaughter" wns rendered. Thc public won disappointed, great indignation was felt nt tho verdict of the jury; lynohing was freely ' discussed by thc by-stiindors, and nt ono lime such a result was doom, d probnblo. As a general rulo wo believe I hot juries discharge their duties correctly, but WO fear that sympathy for thc living may somo time lead them to forget ll.o enormity of tho elimo whioh has been perpetrated against tho dead. The safety of tho citizen depends upon a just enforcement of tho law. \Alibrrille Preta and Manner. '
