Our readers need no reminder of tlio f vet that t told them weeks ago that the greenback move as only a pari of the scheme of the Radicals this State to defeat the democracy and remand c State government into I ho hands of the neos, carpetbaggers and every other character of irrupt, lawless and unprincipled politicians.? toner than we expected the mask has 9eon irown off and the fusion openly made. A radical County Convention was held nt recnville C. II., last Saturday, and the Daily tics gives a full aud ludicrous account of tho >w wow, which is rich reading. Of the coratsition of the convention, the A'tics says: It is a noticeable fact that of the white delegates i attendance, many of them have been "aposes of grccnbackisra" for tho last threo months. id thai in reality a fusion of the two parties is taken place. ! If any one wishes further proof that Greenickism anil Radicalism are only parts anil partis of the same corrupt party, we don't knowhere they can fiad it. Wc endorse fully Ihe following forcibly ex -csscd sentimeuts upon this subject, which we it from an able editorial in the Xev : Any man who thinks at all must know that e second Radical reign in South Carolina ould make the Grst to bo roinembcred as picasit and peaceful by comparison. It would be >e pleasure and poll*? of tho negroes and white en who compose the party, to grind down (bo hitc people of the Stnte, crush the lost spark hope or spirit from their hearts and visit upi us the accumulated malice of the last years, et white men?South Carolinians?join in to ing those consequences upon us. 'Ihe men lio compose the Greenback wing of Radicalism e deliberately planning the murder of the ale and the everlasting ruin of her people.? orn for the miserable associations upon which ey have entered, and bitter hatred for the rong they plot against us, are tho feelings with ttich all respectable citizens must regard these isrrable creatures. Let them never be forgotn ! Let the undisturbed peace that will ene from their defeat not move us to charitably ndoning their fault. Lack of success in exetion does not lessen the guilt of carefully denned crime. Tlx men who aid Radicalism w should be handed down for the execration of iterations to come. oodthirsty Speeohes A correspondent of Ihe Columbia Rryi$ter, iting from Newberry, gives on account of e Radical Convention held there last Tuesday, d further says : Frank Mix, a delegate, made a very intlamitory speech at a barbecue last week, saying n? :r -Li*. 111 ii mo mine people in i not give tliera whaler wages they asked, they would force litem it cr they would kill and eat their hogs, cows, >rse8, sheep, and everything they had in the ty of cattle, "and then we'll tegiu on their hies in their cradles and eat them." [A voice the crowd : "Yes, I feel like I could oat a by now."] "Then we'll kill their women id eat them, and, lastly, we'll kill their men, i will exterminate them and inherit their lands, have our price.

Yours Respect fully, WILLIAM JEEFERIES. For the Times. The Man that Fonnd a Greenback. Editor Union Tikes :?We people up here in North Ihicolct are not superstitious, however enthusiastic we may be in regard to cotton crops, oat crops before they have been reaped. Hail Stones, Lizzards, Chips and ancient law books. We are becoming a philosophical demonstrative people, but occasionaly we meet with natural phenomena that we cannot solve, and, of course call on you aud the correspondents of the Timet to help us out of the dilemma. My narrative is a short one, summed up in haste, as follows : A few days since a renowned and highly respected farmer, known in this section for truth aud veracity, took a stroll through his farm to look at his cotton. When he left home he swore by the holy poker he did not have a cent of money about his person. When he had gone through his cotton field he ran his hand into his pocket for a chew of tobacco and pullod out what he thought to be some leaves of the weed, but up on examiuiugtlie wad he found it wns not tobacco at all, but a veritable genuiuc Greenback five dollar bill. This mystery is now the talk of the farmers, old and young, black and white, from Brown's Store to Goudeysville. We alt know the gentleman?he cannot tell a 11c, much less be mistaken about that five dollar bill, A suspcctinpolitician over the way said that it might have happened in this way: A sjiort lime ago we had a gasconade from McLane at GoudeysvUle and as hescsttered his remarks considerably, it is quite likely he scatteied something else. But, Mr. Editor, this "V" is the only one found in North Tacolet, and with none "tobaekcr." Mr. Editor 1 never intend, to be personal in aDy of my communications. The subject of this nrtiole may be an imaginary person or a person of sprightly imagination, for all you know, but the people ol t lis section will not have much guessing to do. Yours Kindly PETER SNIPES. - ??- a * [ A DVKRTISKM Rl?T.) The "Fashion." We had the pleasure of meeting to-day Mr. J. L. ('arson, salesman of the Southern Calendar Clock Company, whose distriot headquarters for Western South Carolina are now at Greenville. This is a Southern enterprise, In the hands of Southern men, but they do not ask patronnee on this account. All tbey ask is that each and every ot.e examine the clocks for himself. The Company sell their clocks exclusively from wagons, therefore avail yourself of the opportunity of seeing it when the salesmen call on yon. The press generally speak in the highest terms of the Company and their salesmen, and their responsibility Is undoubted. The unprecedented success of ll is Company sinee its corporation is sufficient evidence of the jnerits of their "fashion Calendar." * m f Kw tho TImki. "Powar is Always ttsails^r from tfco Many to Ths Cotton Broker* associations, Commercial^ Travellers and nswspapsr* are buaf during tbs^* hot day* of Augnst in tpecuUHosb upon: the , neat cotton crop, all of which speculations are very much like thosa of the pretty milk maid bo counted her ehloken* before they were hatched. These speculations, neverthei:es. are not void of interest. They are not mere air castles, built for the amuseinont of enthusiasts, bu t 1 atirfcHpnd^to havejajntlaenec upon the market and toydnthwTpolnls In the possession of the N. V. cotton Kings, by which they can manipulate the prices for the coming season?in short, how they cao work up futures, sell seven times as much cotton as will be made, "in a horn,'' fleece all outsiders and fill their own pickets. The money changers of Wall Street control not only the cotton market but every other market, when it becomes their interest to do so. A combination can bo effected in a few days so compact in its organization, so secret in its operatit ns and so swift in its execution, as to sweep away all opposition. The money power with its net work of National Banks all over the land, its syndicates, its Railroad Magnates and Telcgraphio facilities, holds in its hands the destiny of the ropublio. The proclivity of the times seems to be to run into combinations where tbo influence, of capital can be most successfully displayed. Power is always dangerous, when it can l>o?^^ft secretly and wisely used. Much of tho leglsla-^^^ tion of the day is in the interest of tho mouey powor. Legislative taotios have become so adroit and cfliciont that it is no easy matter to divine what wilt be done or what is the object There is always a "wheel within a wheel," a "power behind the throne," which regulates the move- ff" _ incuts. This Sand lots Hoodlum, working men's Vparty elomont, which we se see every now and then cropping out in large cities, is not confined ' /k to cities ; it may be found everywhere. It is the volcano which underlies all societies, the same '.1 trouble that Iris invaded the world's peaoc since the terms rich and poor have become words of meaning. It iq just now the "belt noir" for our statesmen. Statesmen ! ales! where are we to look for statesmen in these days of political trickery and humbuggcry? P. Q. R. ?. For the Times. The 8hot-Gun Tournament at Spartanburg. Mr. Eoitor:?Tho shot-gun Tournamont has ended, but we cannot let it pass in perfect silence , ' nor allow it to be numbered with the things that "were" without n word of thanks nud coramenllaftnn 4- !.. D ? ....... .v juon; uuv iv iuo OpsriKDQUrg KJillD and the citizens of that enterprising town.? That tiie Tournament was a grand success is the opinion of the visiting teams and every spectator Atl things were propitious for the occasion?tho place, the time, the teams. Tho sport commenced on Thursday tho 20tli and. continued until Tuesday 31st instant, yet such w.is tho zeal displayed by the contestants, and so great the enthusiasm mnnifosted by tho spectators that the interest in the Tournament did not grow less but rather increased unto its close. The Spartanburg Team cannot be too highly complimented for tho success of tho first Shot-Gun Tournament in Upper South Carolina. A more suitable ground for the sport could not have been selected. Nothing that was necessary to the success of the sport was left undone. The visiting teams were snugly quartered in their respective booths, with every convenience at hand, while the comfort and ease of tho spoolafors were not forgotten and good order was maintain od throughout. The tournament was onductel in a fair and impartial inauner, and while it was very exciting to a mero looker on to seo the interest manifested by tho captnins and members for the success of their respective teams, nothing occurred to mar tho pleasure of oven tho most sensitive. The members of tho Spartanburg Gun Club did all in their power to increase tlie pleasure and make more full the joy of their "ritals in arms" and succoolc 1 in so doing splcndiJly.? Every one felt that if he himself was not a member of a team, he was nevertheless the next friend to a member, and an ardent advocate of tho cause of Snot-Gun Tournamonts. To the Spartans at iargo, wo are glad to say, they were pleasant days spent in their midst, and that we highly appreciate the liberal aid and hearty support they gave to the shot-gun Tournament at Spartanburg. UNION CLUB. For the Times. jq JoMsville Items. Editor Union Timks:?It was imagined that the elcctiou on lost Tuesday would somewhat abate the political fever but wo are destined for a repetation which will inorease the fever to a "biting pint." To csoape the iriais and vicissitudes of being bored on political questions your correspondent on Sunday last attended the usual big meeting at Gilead, but hardly had arrived there when he was rapidly hustled into a fort je [corner, and heard the same old story. Our mind was reverted from roligion and drifted back into week-day life, but rescuod himself by tuking refuge in the Church. There was quite nutuiuln^. present, who were highly edified by the able discourse of the Rev. Mr. Scaife ; the meeting we understand will be continued several days. Messrs. Scott and Whit lock informs us thai the Excursion to Columbia on September Oils will remain in that city three hours and threat quarters, which will ^Ive the excursionists ample time to visit the principal buildings. Tickets are being rapidly sold snd as only a limited number are to hndi?no?j?<t ?f tim? ing going should purchase tbem at ml early date. Oood order will be maintained and the Managers will do their utmost to afford erery one n pleasant and comfortable time, is it is the last Excursion this season we sinoerely hope all the excursionists will turn out aud have a> good time. Cotton is rapidly opening and the feelings ot the Guano Agents are getting elevated while the farmer's are depressing. Crops, especially cotton, should be well fertilised to secure good yield, and unless fertilisers are used, good cropseannofe be expeetsd. Business has not increased much of late. In this town, but before long things will have a different aspect, as in the cotleu season Jonesville la always a lively plaee. MORE ANON.
