wight bo interested iu> ? few of the
item* which,. ?V ie probablo, will not
. >ppVaV iu the "minutes."
?\ *lt was quite a full, ann cortainly a
" very pleasant meeting. Tho crowd OD
Saturday und Suuday was Immense.
I heard it frequently remarked that
"rarely had there been seen sucha col
, Jcetloo ol beautiful Ladies." The latest
styles flourished extensively-in all their
ridiculousness. Even a woman, and ono
too, who is a believer to a certain extent
iu the bid adage, "It is better to be
out ol' t ho world than out of tho fashion,"
must candidly confess that some of the
? present styles of dress and hair arrange?
ment are not only absurd, but actually
verge upon tho indclicttte. However, I
? do not intend to moralize upon thc
fashions-indeed the men leave us very
little to say, inasmuch as they have sccu
fit to censure so soverely our little follies
in'this respect that many a right think?
ing woman who would gladly exert her
influence, by writing as well us speaking
to restrain thc extravagant aud ungrace?
ful modes of dress uow iu vogue is
forced by au angry sense of injustice, to
keep silent.
Mr. Editor, was it over your lot to be
domesticated lor H short time with aparty
ol clerical bruthcru ? No doubt it hus,
and you know, as well a? I, that from uo
class of men could there bo gathered a
more jovial, merry, light hearted sot.
. lu the fan i ly where I staid we had a
large crowd all thc time, and greatly we
enjoyed eui selves, I eau assure you. Do
allow me tu tell you oue or two of the
fuuny things thut amused our party uo
little-though, you should know the per
sous lo seo thu points. One evening,
. after returning from church, we were ail
gathered iu tho parlor, merrily talking
Mdjaiighing, singitg aud playing, and
(buliovo us, Mr. lOditor,) flirting just
a wee bit! Among our number were
several ministers. During a pause iu
- the conversation,, tho Hov. Mr. M., a
young mau noted fur always saying just
what he pleased, right or wrong, to any
ouc and at any timo or place, or under
any circumstances, rose from his chair,
aud crossing the room sat down by old
brother G.. "Bro. G.," ?aid he, "it is
my opinion, sir, that you should preach
altogether without notes. I think you
would speak with more animation. Det?
ter give them up, sir." Mr. G. looked
at tho young mau a moment, slowly
moving his grey head, a mischievous
twinklejust glimmeriug iu thc corner
of his penetrating blue eye: "Um-Um,
bro. M.," grunted the old geutleman,
"It is my opinion that your sermons
should always bc written, and she, point?
ing to tho young brother's sister, "ought
to write 'em lor you !" Now didn't the
old mau get thu best of it that time ?
Another time, thc ltcv. Mr. lt. was
teasing unmercifully one of the un?
married brethren, Mr. 15. "I tell you
what, bro. li," said he, "If I was a mom
btr of your congregation, I should move
that you bc dismissed uutil you got
married-a juan without a wife aiu't fit
to preach." "Now, sec here, bro. ll.,"
said bro. D., half earnestly, half in fun,
"il you ure joking, all right, but if you
are serious, just let mo give you tuy
opinion-the Lord don't intend every
. mau to (narry, an?'. I don't go beyond His
will-il Hu has n mate fur me, Ile will
bring her to ino." Old brother G., who
was standing near, his hands clasped be
fere him, and his head druoped forward
in his usual altitude of close attention,
turned slowly round and said, "Do you
expect thc Lord to do your courting for
' you, brother li.?" This sally 'brought
duwn the house,' and peal altor peal of
laughter rang through the room. I
could multiply incidents such ns these
. but lear the repetition will not be us
amusing as thc original.
Thc Kev. Mr. D. amused us greatly
by dolefully lamenting that he was "thc
scape goat ol' Presbytery," and that
"whenever any of the brethren did
wrong ?nd feared they would bc repii
. mudded, (hey forth willi told something
he had dunc and raised stich a furious
din that their shortcomings were en?
tirely lost sight of."
On Thursday night, the Hov. II. Du
Dose, preached from tho text : "The
Spirit and l?rido say como." .Hisser
mou is beyond my feeble criticism. It
Was one that should bc prayed over and
not talked about. His rendering ot thu
. hy inn, '..Justas I am without one plea,"
was must beautiful and impressive. I
shall never forget the impression made
upon mc by thc repetition of tho line :
*'() ! Lamb of God, I come," in his deep
toned ye! finely modulated voice. God
grant thu services of (hat night be bless,
cd to many ti weary, hungry soul !
We also hud lino Hermons from Kev.
Messrs. l?uist, r'rierson, Mills, Brearley,
and Cousin*.' The meeting was a very
hnrmoni us ono. Certainly Dishopvillu
hospitality will hereafter bo renowned
throughout the length and breadth ol
thc land. Tho long table literally
groaned each day under its weight of
delicacies, und consequently, tho lords
of creation present were in thc best of
humors, and we poor fe m i nines ventur?
ed fearlessly fo a-k just as many favors
ns wo wanted, for wo all know, Mr.
I'M i I or, that tho Wiiy lo a man's heart
is through his (low ho it spoken) stom?

ditiou to which thia cou o try m'reduocd.
What the real resale wonld he if a Air*
couut could be Lad of the Uga! volea
polled, will probably never be known
If the ?adic?la had been confident of
. majority,,why did they not allow at
least a few men to oot.aa managers ?nd
commissioners, ?ho oould have given
the COUD try some assurance on which the
country could have relied of fair play in
counting the votes? But with tho boxes
in the Lands of three co a? aa iee i ooe rs
for ten days, to be counted nod reported
by them, and each of those commission
ors known tote active Scott Sloe es pav
, Usaos, what ono be expeated ? Besides,
it ia known that very many negroes did
not go to the polrs or vote, and will
their default be made up by the, "re~
peaters ?" On the day of election, many
negroes from the oounty precincts voted
in town and then hurried back to the
country ? At how many country polls
did they afterwards vote? And how ac?
count for the arrival, ?eder full steam,
late ia the afternoon, of negroes living
near country polls and votiog at a late
hour at the town boxes ? Different names
aro easily given where every fellow
has his alias, and it is very easy by this
sort of work for each vote to oount three.
White men, of course, are too well
known, and cou id not, as they would
not, do this sort of work.
The whole thing demonstrates an out?
rage on the franchise which no other
couutry would tolerate. It is not only a
great wrong to the whites, but also to
the blacks, who aro thus held in hand
and used by designing and unscrupulous
men. For they are thua rn?d?7 ?? cse
day, to fasten the wrong.upon us for two
years more, and during those two years
they will constantly look to the white
people for support and aid, to keep them
alive, to play the same game over, two
years hence. Such a? thing may pass
for an election, but it is really an usur?
pation and an outrage, and the country
will owe a monument to the crafty and
unprincipled men or men who sit in
thoir houses and engineer the whole
machinery of wrong ?nd injustice to the
white population, who pay the taxes and
furnish thom the money to support their
extravagance.

[From the Columbia Phoulx.]
THE BND-THE FUTURE.
Tho election has passed off. We
know not the result. But this wo do
know : If South Carolina has been given
over for two more years longer to Gov.
Scott and bis co plunderers) the disaster
is due to two causes-first, to tho apa?
thct?e conduct of a portion of the
whites ; and sooondly, to the blind, wil?
ful and deliberate prejudices of the
negroes against the white peoplo of the
Stats. Although the deceptions prac?
ticed upon them by their radioal mas?
ters were fully exposed-although the
lund commission swindles were fully ex*
posed-although the rascalities, frauds
aud corruptions of tho present regime
were fully exposed-yet os- a general
ruin, tho colored voters showed them?
selves the miserable tools and dupes of
thoir designing leaders. They spurned
thc advances made by men strong
enough to be magnanimous and too
proud to deceive, and they have chosan
thc path laid out for them by interlo?
pers from abroad and renegades at
home.
As for ourselves, whether we emerge
from this canvass just closed in victory
or defeat, wo come out full of faith, hope
?nd determination. Speaking for tho
groat mn?s of tho whites und the faith?
ful few of thc colored peoplo, we repeat
the unalterable resolve to keep this fight
against thc banded foes of South Curo
lina, until we find in victory the fruition
of our hopes, and in the State saved,
ihe end of our labors. Above all lessons
do?fl this campaign (each this great(truth,
which wo throw out saliently this day,
viz : That South Carolina is to be saved
nod buili up by tho genius, tho
virtue, thc power of tho whilo peo?
ple. Wc recall no acknowledgments
that we moy huvo made as to the just
rights and showing, io which tho colored
man is morally and legally entitled
Wc stand in good faith by all wo have
said-as due to ourselves, and not to
those who, in the main, have shown
themselves unworthy of our eonsidem
fion. Hut with the colored veters, the
time for argument, and for concilia?
tion, and temporizing, ha* passed.
Henceforth let tho white people of South
Carolina depend upon their own right
atm. They hold tho power in their
souls and in their bruins. Speuking for
those who intend never, never, uevor to
''bend thc knee to 13aul/' we declare,
under God, our firm purposo yot to win.
Wc write iu the spirit of the future
victor, und we accept tho declaration of
tho poet :
"Truth crushod to earth will rue again
The etornni y curs of GUMI are here ;
But Srrov, wounded, writhe? in pain,
And tllej-naiong its worrbtppers 1"

Whatever tho result may bc, let us

- WOMAN lOVrBAOK. ^"
The Republican Convention of Massa?
chusetts, recently held, voted. On this
question in the form of a r?solution
whioh had beeb submitted, favoring the
enfranchisement of women. Oar read?
ers, roany of whom, probably, have
looked upott this question $S exceed?
ingly remote, even in New England,
wi If br somewhat surprised to hear that
the resolution alluded to was lost by but
fifty-teven totet- there being 196 for
and 189 against it. ,
This may be regarded as a fair test in
that State, and exhibits the wonderful
progress in this direction that is going
on.
The Republican party have the mat?
ter in band, aud, as a party measure,
should it be found at all necessary to
prevent future defeat, would DO doubt
spring at onoe into immense magnitude
throughout the whole country. Sup?
posing that the women of Republican
affinity and. consanguinity-the wives,
daughters, staters and mothers-would,
in the main, vote in acoord with the
men, the majority, would, of course, be
double, if not more, for we believe
that? the females of thc country oat num?
ber the males. And what a glorious
state of affairs this would produce at the
South ? Aud how easy ? move like this
could bo carried in the Southern States,
despite tho uplifted voice of ever; intel?
ligent, virtuous man and woman in the
land 1
Tho "strong minded" women of the
North, however, who are in the load of
this movement, are by no means oontent
to stop at the enfranchisement of their
sex, and participation in all the politi
cal|ramifications that suffrage necessarily
involves. They go for a perfect eman
oipntion of woman's rights-a sort of
free a/id easy condition for their social
and* domestic status-limiting or entire
ly removing the legal restrictions now
imposed in connexion with connubial
tics; and leaving the fair daughters of
earth to roam, fancy free, sipping honey
from eaoh inviting flower, as, in butter
fly plumage, tbey move through the
scenes of earth.
This is no mere fancy sketch, but the
practical results of the present tendency
of New England society. The eurrent
of events there moves on like somo sur?
ging stream, unconscious, in its irresisti?
ble madness, of the terrible abyss of
woe and degradation to whioh it is
hurrying.
We of the South aro now linked, by
tho stooag chains of military power, to
such a civilization as this. And as we
have not-boen permitted to escapo its
corrupting and contaminating influenoos,
in the past, so may we now much more
fear its power, when the flood-gates have
been turned loose upon ne, and we have
nothing left with which to breast the
swelling tide of pollution, save the
innate and uncompromising virtue that
still lives in the Southorn heart.
Wo can turn only with hope, as wo
look to tho future of,our country, to the
Church of Christ. Tho Southern
Church, at least, maintain? its peerless
purity, and has kept itself free from
contaminating alliances-. It may be
that the God of heaven and of earth'
has saved unto us this precious institu?
tion, around whioh we may gather with
increased zeal and purpose, for the sal?
vation of our country.
THir RICS ULT.
It is claimed, by thoso who Have
given tho matter dose attention, that
so ven toon out of thirty ono counties of
tho State, have boen carried on tho side
of Reform. If this be so, it would give
about sixty membors of the House of
Representatives and soventcen Senators
-a majority of the oounties and so mo?
th i og less than amajority of the Legisla?
ture. The result has Again been estima?
ted as at leuat forty-fivo members ot tho
Uouoo and eleven-Senators.
Wo believe that, ri tho votes are
(airly counted, tho following counties
will bo lound on thc side of tho Reform?
ers, by majorities ranging from fifteen
hundred downward, to wit: Green*
villo, Pickend, Goonoo, Spartan
burg, Anderson, York, Union, Loxing?
ton, Marion, Chesterfield, Marlboro' and
Llorry. This would give us something
more than ono third of the Legislature.
And of this wo do not believe there can
bc a doubt, if there bo fair play in tho
count. Kdgefleld and Barnwell aro ro
ported doubtful. Tho remainder of the
counties have most likely boen curried
by tho Republicans.
Charleston sky huit- been redeemed,

men of Charleston havo uobly perform?
ed thoir duty, and the fir nit o? their lobar

tacle, to witness tho gal Unit old eily,
shaking off her apathy, and risiug, pin?
ioncd as she was, to assort tho dignity
of har manhood and froodom from the
thrall of corruption into whioh she had

us the State by several thousand tua
j or i ty. 5 , '.
THU* VT? j?Pto'ViNXiaiiWA-iow.
We leam, from ? reliable source,
theta colored man, at tho Stateburg
precinct, who desired to vote the Reform
ticket, wa? Beset by a crowd of Soott's
negroes, who t Ii reaten ed, bullied and
abaaed him to su.pb.aQ extent that he
left or fled from the polls, without oast
ing his ballot. Had he voted at the
time, his life would have been in dan?
ger. Some of his white friends, it is sta?
ted, hearing of the cir o urns tan ceo, later
in the day, after much ot the crowd
bad left', proteoted him at the polls and
scoured for him a "free ballot."
This is a shocking state of affairs.
"Free speeolr" and' a "free ballot" have
been rucg in* our .ears as the watchwords
of the party of "moral ideas." And to?
day, in fact, this is the most intolerant
party that ever existed in South Caro
lina. There is no such thing as "free
speech" or a ? free ballot," whenever it
is thought that threats or intimidation
of any sort oan he brought to bear.
With the mass of the colored people,
these are powerfully effectual. Very
many of them, in addition to those who
did vote, would have voted on the side
of honesty and equal rights, bot for the
influence brought to boar upon them.
They were afraid to vote as they desired
to. We do uot pretend to say that thia
was uy uuy means, generally the case ;
but we do know that large numbers of
them were deterred in this way. And
we do-not halie ve that the odored peo
pie will long oonsent to remain under
this bondage. Many of them, through -
out the State, burst the ohains that
bound them, in the present issue, and
many more will break loose, under
proper treatment, when two yeats more
shall have rolled around.
