THE RATIFICATION MEETING. , Notwithstanding the lowering sky and threatening clouds last Monday rooming, the Red Shirt Democracy of York county com- i roenced pouring into town, and at an early hour in the day the streets were literally thronged with patriotic and enthusiastic citizens, who had resolved to devote a day to their country, being attracted by the ratification meeting to be held at the close of the nominating convention. The programme for the day had been arranged to have a grand procession of mounted Red Shirts, after the award of the banner presented by the ladies of Yorkville to the Club having the largest number of mounted men ; a grand procession through the principal streets after the presentation of the banner; speaking at the stand erected on the Avery lot, near the Female Institute; and after night to continue the public speaking at the stand, and to ratify the action of the nominating Convention. The rain, however, which commenced falling at 11 o'clock, and fell almost unceasingly throughout the day and evening, interfered somewhat with the arrangements previously decided upon, and they could only be partially carried out. At about 1 o'clock P. M., the various mounted clubs assembled in the field near King's Mountain Military School, for the purpose of forming in line for inspection by Col. Coward, Chief Marshal, and his assistants. According to the reports of the Captains of the Clubs, they numbered as follows respectively : Rock Hill 296 Fort Mill, 118 Bethel, 72 Clay Hill 75 c Hickory Grove, 217 McConnellsville, 190 King's Mountain, 225 Blairsville and Bullock's Creek, 295 Yorkville, 280 1,768 It would seem, however, that all the members did not promptly meet at the place of rtndezvous, the enumeration by the Chief Marshal revealing the following numbers : Rock Hill, 275 Fort Mill, 128 Bethel, 70 Clay Hill 81 Hickory Grove, 246 McConnellsville, 124 - * * iWl King's Mountain, ^ Blairsville and Bullock's Creek, 274 Yorkville, 270 i V . t:. n . LV )i >j < fty*? Rock Hill showing the largest number, was declared entitled to the banner, and after the column marched from the place of rendezvous to the speakers' stand, Col. Coward, who had been selected by the ladies for the purpose, presented the banner to the successful Club, in a neat and appropriate address. And here a description of the banner may not he out of place. It was originally de ?signed by a gentleman of acknowledged taste, and the design was submitted to a New York maker, whose price for making one according to the design was one hundred and fifty dol1 ?rs, though he could not promise it before October. As that time would be too late to answer the purpose, one of less elaboration was ordered, which was received only last Thursday evening, and found to be entirely below the style desired, when it was determined, if possible, to substitute for it a better one', or exhaust all the resources of native skill. Accordingly, the original design was hunted up, and submitted to Mrs. Fannie L. i D.ibson, who finally decided to undertake the task, and right worthily did she accomplish it. The banner is 41 by 48 inches, made of silk materials, one side blue and the other red, trimmed with bullion lace and white silk fringe. On the blue ground is a medallion containing a Palmetto tree with the date, k 1876, under which is the motto "Resurgo," and surrounding the medallion is the inscrip lion, "Law, Economy and Equal Rights." On the reverse side is a shield, bearing the date, 1878, and surrounded with the legend, "Vicilauce is the price of liberty." The ban ner is neatly mounted, and is really a credit- I able piece of work. When shown to the designer, who did not see it until it was nearly completed, he was delighted with the success >f the lady artists whose skill had wrought so neat a banner, and he remarked that it was "certainly a fine imitation of a hundred and fifty dollar banner." And so it i?. The successful Club may justly prize it highly; but they must remember that it is in their keeping only until the next campaign, when it may be contended for again, and some other Club proudly bear it away. The rain which was falling at the close of the presentation speech, induced the committee of arrangements to forego the contemplated procession through the streets of the town, and as the afternoon was advancing, it was decided that the speaking should hegin. Gen. Leach and Col. Evins, who had arrived on the morning train, were escorted to the stand, their preseuce seeming to inspire the vast crowd, if possible, with renewed enthusiasm. Cheer after cheer rent the air, and the distinguished North Carolina speaker and orator, no less than the honored Evins, was greeted with the heartiest demonstrations of applause. Gen. Leach was introduced in a handsome and very complimentary manner by Col. W. B. Wilson, and after the rounds of applause as he approached the front of the stand, he commenced by complimenting the ladies for the taste displayed in the beautiful flag and its devices which they bad presented to the largest Club of mounted men, and also for the splendid decorations of the speakers' stand ; and after paying a compliment to the several bands of music present, and expressing his pleasure at raeetiug so vast a crowd? happily including both races?as an auspicious circumstance and a good omen, he said the people of South Carolina were again in the midst of a political campaign, which, if less exciting and uncertain in its issues than that of 1876?which by the kind partiality of many friends he had had the pleasure of participating in to some extent?was nevertheless of as vital importance to the State and to the friends of constitutional governmen^-everywhere, as the last memorable campaign ; and its results in the continued interests of" peace and prosperity would be as great. Indeed, he did not hesitate to express j the opinion that the fruits of the campaign of the Centennial year, 1876, in South Carolina, were of as great and momentous consequence to her people, in the vindication of human rights and public liberty, as the grand results of the proclamation made to the world in 1776, in the maintenance of which, her patriots, and those of twelve other colonies, pledged "their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor." The speaker said this, because the historic pages of civilization would be searched in vain to find a parallel to the grinding, merciless, humiliating oppression of a free, proud people, for eight long, sad years, and the sublime endurauce and moral fortitude with which it was patiently submitted to, and by which the people were driven to poverty, ruin aud despair. He went on to say that the disturbances and violence, in some parts of the State?now happily subsided by the wisdom and firmness of the present administration of her affairs?were the legitimate fruits of this rapacious, relentless, wicked oppression by characterless and dishonest public officials; and that thoughtful, honest men throughout1 the whole country, are coming to see this and 1 acknowledge its truth, and that farther proof j of this was seen in the reign of peace, order j and law throughout the State since the in-1 auguratiou of Governor Hampton. Gen. Leach then went on to discuss parties and the necessity of good government. He said parties were of value and interest to the people only as exponents of principles and enlightened popular will, and as the representatives of measures and laws promotive of peace, happiness and prosperity ; that it must never be forgotten, in this country, that government was established by the people, and all its legitimate functions were delegated powers derived from' the people, and that this trust must be exercised for the benefit of the governed ; that the legislation of the country, both State and National, should have a care of all its people and should study the true interests of all, and like the sun, should shed its benign and protecting influence upon all alike, and not on a favored class or section. And in this connection, he alluded briefly to the financial system of the country, aud the unjust, discriminating acts of Congress, in the interest of bond-holders?untaxed bond-holders?and corporations, and against the great mass of the people and the various industries I of the countryy-and the absolute necessity for reform and change in these matters, so vitally important to the prosperity of the country ; that the great niimbfer of failures?the painful pressure of the hard times?and the vast number of operatives and laborers out of employment, was awakening the whole country to a consideration of the causes, and arousing public sentiment everywhere to demand reforms aud repealing and modifying legislation, and this potential voice of the people must be heeded and respected, and it tcould be. By way of further illustration of bad government and its ruinous effects, Gen. Leach next took up the one subject of Republican rule, for eight years, in South Carolina. He spoke of its nature and character and mercenary objects; its cruel oppression ; its wicked legislation ; its dishonesty, recklessness and corruption ; its unjust exactions in levying exorbitant taxes without any corresponding benefit to the taxed; but on the other hand stealing and appropriating the moneys thus raised ; its corrupt and corrupting executives, legislatures and judiciary, in some instances to the scandal aud disgrace of the country ; its shameless rapacity aud ruthless despotism. He said they were aliens, ignoring home-rule, outraging all the sacred rights of the people, despising alike the principles of justice and the securities of law, intent only on such dis honest practices and mischievous legislation and administration of affairs as would enure to their own interests and fill their own pockets in derogation of every principle of right and justice. These things, continued the speaker, are true and the picture is not overdrawn. He asked, what honest man is willing to see such men again reinstated in power with control of the State Government ? If there was one, he would instinctively turn from him in sorrow " ") anmiink nf hpnrt fn nvnid t.hfi POntfcmnla """ " -"-' I ? - ? 1 tiou of so revolting an object of pity and coutempt. But, be thanked heaven, that though the people of South Carolina were thus trodden down by merciless rulers (not of their own choosing) they were not to be subdued or subjugated. They remembered that a heroic ancestry helped purchase those great and inestimable blessings for them and their posterity. They were destined to submit but a little longer to their deep huroiliatiou>i\d exquisite torture of soul, because they knew that human opinions and seutiment could not be controlled by force. They had read that all the persecutions of the dark ages only strengthened Christianity; that God had made our intellectual being; these thoughts that, cannot be fettered, but that soar aloft add..-'wander through time and eternity?immaterial, chainless, immortal! And so it came to pass, continued the speaker, in the midst of this galling oppres sion and worse than Egyptian bondage, when the clouds of their misfortunes seemed darkest and the future of the devoted State hopeless, there suddenly appeared a rift in the clouds and the sunlight of hope shone upon them, and as by the mighty influence of some unseen power, all eyes were turned to the coming man?to a leader?and be was found in the person of the modest Christian, but brave and peerless, Hampton, and the shouts went up from one end of the State to the other, with a unity of sentiment and Arm purpose of soul never before witnessed, for Hampton and lib eration, and they fought the great battle peacefully but heroically ; for "peace hath its victories no less renowned than war," and they won the victory. And here the people were met to day to exchange congratulations for the redemption of their State from political thraldom and Republican misrule. . The rG^neral th'en drew' fn glowing language the future of the proud Palmetto State, after which he made a short and kind appeal to the colored people, urging upon them the ^ nn/1 lltn nP moin. UeCtTBSlLJf UI lUUUObl v OUU uu^antj, vi uiuiu taining friendly relations with the white people?who would always be the dominant race of the country?and he urged upon them to educate their children, as far as they were able, aided by the white people; to acquire, if possible, homes of their own, even if small and humble, so as to be the better able to take eare of themselves and their political and all other interests that looked to elevating them and qualifying them to make good citizens. There were a great many ladies present, and the speaker said they were entitled not ouly to his thanks for the compliment of their presence, in codling on so unfavorable a day, but he must address a few remarks to them. And after telling an anecdote that happily applied to the illustration of his situation and produced much laughter, he said there was no country where the rights of the sex were so well protected and guarded, where their social position was higher, where a proper appreciation of them was greater, or where their influence was more felt, or where admiration for them often borders on idolatry, than in our own country. And this is due as much to our institutions of civil and religious liberty as to the innate gallautry of honorable meu. Beauty and grace of person and manners, are woman's heirloom, and woman's only. The influence of a lovely, true woman is exalting, eunobling in its effects, aud makes a man of honor and soul gentler, wiser, truer, better, greater! Such is the merest outline of Gen. Leach's address, which abounded in anecdote aud humor, and constantly elicited applause or laughter from his hearers, who, for a portion of the time, stood in a pelting rain, and urg ed him to "goon! go on 1" When General -r i i j n i tir-i i -Lieacn Ciosea, v^ol. tv llsulj uuuuuuucu uiat uu ; account of the iuclemeucy of the weather, and the lateness of the evening, the meeting would { then adjourn to meet in the Court House at j 7 o'clock. Long before the hour of 7 had arrived, the court-room was packed to its utmost capacity with an eager and enthusiastic assemblage, j many of whom lived a distance from town, | but had determined to remain and hear the j words of cheer and assurance to be uttered by i the speakers announced for the evening. Mr. \Vither3p00n, the county chairman, was prompt and efficient in providing for the comfort and convenience of the crowd, and after congratulating them upon the auspicious opening of the campaign, introduced Gen. Kennedy, Chairman of the State Executive Committee. Geu. Kennedy spoke for near an hour, comparing the duties of the present1 campaign with those of the campaign of 1876. j He urged upon his hearers the necessity aud importance of working now to secure and | make good what had already been won. He spoke of the platform of that campaign, on which platform the party again stands, re- j minding the people that every pledge and every promise then made is equally binding upon the party to day. Our promises then made to the colored people are equally oblig atory upon the party now, and he assured his colored hearers, that in Governor Hampton they would ever find a true friend, and one who would never break a promise to them. Gen. Kennedy was followed by Hon. J. H. Evins, who gracefully acknowledged the compliment that had been paid him by the hearty endorsement of York county in his renomination; congratulated the people of the county on the peace and prosperity within ber borders under Democratic rule, and as he expected to meet our people again, soon, he would give way to other speakers who were to follow. Secretary of State Sims was next introduced. He was happy at meeting the people of York county?the people of his home?to whom he was indebted for marks of esteem and honor, which he gracefully acknowledged. He congratulated the people on the results of the Convention ; hoped the party would labor for the success of the ticket, and counseled unity of action. He, too, would not detain his hearers long, as Gen. Leach was present, whom they did not have the opportunity often to hear, and he would give way to that distinguished representative of our sister State. The introduction of Gen. Leach was the signal for loud and continuous cheering, a compliment for which he felt justly proud, and after it ceased, he proceeded, in his inimitable manner, mixing fact and fun to the entertainment of his hearers for more than an hour. After Gen. Leach closed, three hearty cheers were given for the speakers of the evening; three cheers were given for the nominations of the Convention, and the meeting adjourned. Our report would be incomplete without reference to the fine and inspiriting music furnished throughout the day aud night. The Rock Hill Silver Cornet Band, the Yorkville Silver Helicon Band, and the Colored Cornet Band from Rock Hill, all furnished music, and contributed in no small degree to the enthusiasm so manifest in every face.

Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM ROCK HILL. Rock Hill, September 23. The past week has been quite a lively one, upwards of five hundred bales of new cotton having changed hands. The merchants have all returned from market, new goods are coming in rapidly, ana nusines9 seems 10 have commenced in good earnest. The new business houses in process of building will soon be ready for occupancy. During the recent freshet, the waters of the Catawba overflowed all of the lowlands, and almost completely destroyed much of the corn growing upon its banks. Great damage was done iu many other ways by the unusually heavy overflow. Many of the farmers express the opinion that by the middle of October, the cotton in this section will nearly all have been picked out. Last Saturday was tbe day appointed for the election of delegates to the County Nominating Convention. The town was full of people, and at 3 o'clock the polls were opened. Two sets of candidates seemed to be in the field?or rather two sets were being run?one set in favor of the nomination of a new ticket for the legislature, and the other in favor of the renomination of the old ticket. Excitement ran high, and unrestrained enthusiasm characterized the efforts and actions of all; yet we are pleased to be able to say that no unkind feelings were manifested. On the first ballot, M. H. Williams, J. C. Hoke and Peter Garrison were elected; on the second ballot, F. H. Barber and J. F. Workman. On the third ballot the contest was between W. B. Wilson, jr., and F. H. Brown. The result was a tie. On the fourth ballot, Brown was elected by a vote of 69 to 54. The balloting was not concluded until bout 9, p. m. During the past week the Methodist Church at this place has had a gracious revival, resulting in the accession of many worthy members, such as will doubtless be bright lights in the Christian world.
