Randolph, the negro Sentor from Orangeburg District, was murdered on Friday last at Cokcsbury by three white mon. Randolph had been upon an electioneering trip through the upper part of the State, where ho delivered incendiary and threatening speeches. On Wednesday he passed over the Greenville and South Carolina Railroad, and spoke and behaved in so violent a manner as to be a great annoyance to the passengers. On Thursday he delivered a flaming address at Abbeville C. H. On Friday he took the cars for Anderson, and on arriving at Cokcsbury entered the up train, put his carpet bag and cane in the ladies' car, and returned to tho I platform. At this moment three white men I rode up, dismounted and hitched ther horses , about fifty yards, from the train. They advan ced rapidly towards Randolph and fired upon him simultaneously. They then jumped on their horses and made their escape. Randolph fell as soon as the shots were fired, and upon examination was found to ba mortally wounded in the head, chest and lower part of the body. The express messenger took the body in charge and took it to Colum bia, whence it was expected to bo sent to Orangcburg. The men who killed. Randolph are sot known, and . could not be identified, al thought the murder took place in bro&d day - light.? Chutfdslon l)ady tfein. Action of tho Abbeville Democratic Club in Regard to the Murders of Marthi ami Randolph. At a meeting of the Democratic Club of! Abbeville County on Saturday 17th instant, it was Resolved, That tho following expression of our feelings and opinions bo entered and published. }i This representation of the Democratic Clubs pf Abbeville County laments all acts o? vio lence, and especially the murders of James Martin and B. F. Randolph, lately perpetrated, j It is manifest that the policy of the Radica] [party is to produce in the North the belief of a rebellious temper in the South, and active partisans bore have, by fiction and exaggera tion, misrepresented the conduct of Southern whites, scrupling not to excite the violence which they pretend to deprecate. It has, of course, becu our policy to preserve peace. For this end we have exerted our in. flueuce, but in every community then are des perate men who are as deaf to the suggestions of prudence, as they are reckless of the re straints of morality. In the present condition of affairs, we have to law, for in this circuit there is no judge, ind in circuits whero there are judges the ex ;nses of courts may bo brought upon the 5tate, but business is not done. A State government has beon e;tLblisbo\ rith vast increase of officers and salaries which >robably intended to provide for influentid [adventurers, is wholly unsuitable- to an* empty treasury and) impoverished population. Thefts arc so common as to ronder tho rais. ing of live stock unprofitable, and the enjoy ment of agricultural products uncertain. Negroes attend public meetings with arms *n their hands, and talk of their occupation of the polls to tho exclusion of whites as a matter winch their number render easy, and which their leaders in private conversation recom mend. The use of the torch is habitually threatened. Both of the men lately killed were heard to suggest incendiarism, and one of them was taking to his home a barrel of whiskey to be used in influencing negroes. In these circumstances, we believe, arc to be found the reasons and motives of the late aots of violence which we lament. Bad as they arc they will no doubt be greatly misrepresen ted, as already has been the case of Martin, of which it has boen falsely stated in Northern newspapers that ho was an inoffensive oitizen of rrodorato views, and that the throats of two negroes had shortly before been cut near to where he was killed. ~ Subjected, to. the cruel torture of negro su premacy, every, impatient act of individuals is exaggerated sod. heralded as evidence of a re. bot lions spirit upon t^io part of a whole people always distinguished, foe their devotionito? law and ordbr. National Thanksgiving. By the America. V <T,OCLAMAT In the year which;'-, now drawing to its end, yhe art, the skilr^hd the labor of the people of the United Statefr^ave b*en employed with greater diligence and vigor and in broader fields than ev?>r before, and the fruit? of the earth have been gathered into the granary and the storehouse in marvelous abundance. Our highways, have beeu lengthened, and new and prolific regions have been occupied. We arc permitted to hope that long protracted politi cal and sectional dissensions are, at no distant day, to give place to returning harmony and I fraternal affection throughout the Republic. ! Many foreign States have entered into liberal I agreements with us, while nations, which arc { far off, and which heretofore have been un social and exclusive, have become our friends. The annual period of rest, whioh we have reached in health and tranquility, and which is crowned with so many blessings, is, by uni versal consent, a convenient and suitable one for cultivating personal piety and practicing public devotion. I therefore recommend that Thursday, the twenty-sixth day oi November next, be set apart and observed by all the people of the United States as a day public praise, thanksgiving and prayer to the Al mighty Creator and Divine Ruler of the Uni verse, by whose ever watchful, merciful and gracious providence alone States and nations, no less than families and individual men, do live and move and have thoir boing. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United .States to bo affixed. Done at the City of Washington this twelfth day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty eight, and of the independence of the United States the ninety-third. ANDREW JOHNSON. By the President: Wm. H. Skward, Sec retary of State. The Whitehall (AT. Y.) Times put these facts before the people. The national debt can never be paid under radical rule. Because it cost too much to support millions of negroes iu idleness that they may vote the radical ticket. Because it cost too much to support the hordes of officers the radicals have created. Because of an expensive navy, which now that radicalism has destroyed our. commerce, we have no need of. Becauae millions upon millions-are expro priated yearly to forward public enterprises, which prove only to be swindles. Because millions upon millions are actually oCuloo y?nrly from tho publio tr?asury-A^ijj^?, much deliberation as any burglar or thief ever exercised his vocation., - ?Because the present tariff is grinding the face of the poor and decreasing their ability to pay taxes.

Haulttng those who differ with them in political opinion ; and especially is there apparent n syste matic effort, by abuse and intimidation, to deter colored persons from the exercise of the' elective franchise, and all this in transgression of law. If) derogat ion of the peace and dignity of the Comjnon wenlth, and in violation of the right of the citi zens. The right of suffrage belongs equally to the white4' ? and colored race, and all must be protected in Itfi free and peaceful exercise. Fraud or violence may vitiate the returns of any poll where they may be perpetrated, und 1 ca'l upon all good citizens to aid ' the officers of the law in' their efforts to main'aia the peace and preserve the independence and puri ty of the ballot-box. The State Government, of which 1 am the Execu tive head, is not only de facto but de jure, and Com mands the ullcgiuucu of all within its territorial limits. It is independent of Federal1 legislation und ?f the Federal Judiciary, whose powers are de fined by the Constitution, to be -"judicial" and-U9M1 "political." its sovereignty wud it* honor,#r?s*is* it- own keeping ; and the rights granted and: con ferred by it can only bo affected or subverted by ? change in the organic law, iu obedience to thw wishes of the people .of the Slato acting in their sovereign capacity in a Convention called for tho purpose. To resist the laws of the State, j^ej sented by its legally constituted officer*, is **fi3o fence of the gravest character ; and armed' real tancc is treason. ? ? , . ?.. Now, therefore, I, RODERT K. SCOTT, Governor of the State of South Carolina, do hereby issue this my proclamation, enjoining and commanding all Magistrates, Sheriff, and other officers of the peace " in their respective Counties, to be faithful, vigilant, ami netive in the discharge of their duties, . aadrtsv report promptly to this Department; eVc]hr, where they are obstructed or resisted in doing to ; and, in the event of resistance or aattault, they are directed lo apply to the nearest military post of Cubed States troops for aid nnd co-operation in est? ? forcing the laws and maintaining the public peace. In ca-e of failure on the part oC Magistrates, Shc rilfs and officers of the peace to perform- these du tics promptly nnd efficiently. either from neglect or sympathy with the wryng-dvers, they, will be prompt ly removed arid their places filled by meiT loyal ** the Siato and fa.ith.tul tu the discharge of thejr obli gation- tu the commuuity, .

And if my efforts to accomplish this by peaceable means, are fruit rated*, by turbulent and lawless men resisting ihe'Esacu tive authority, in th* persons.of its officers, 1 shall be compelled, however reluctantly, to arm and ?r ganize a sutllcient force of loyal citizens to ever come that resistance; nnd the responsibility of the consequences, however disastrous and deplorable, must rest upon tho heads of those who provoke them.
