How they Ruined the ?tute of North Carolina--Coriolis Confexsdons ?f a Former Congressman-The VMlaluoua Record of Home Notorious Republican leaders. Otrretpoadi^ce cf th9 A'eir York Sun. Goi.nfBORo', N. G., September 13. I ?end you a copy of a letter from John T. Deweese, now of Cleveland. Ohio, ad dressed to thc votera of Nortn Carolina, which has juit " been published in the Raleigh News: Dcwdcsa. wai otie of the carpet-baggers who helped to misgovern this State after the war had closed, and he was twico elected to Congress from tho Raleigh Diatrict by the aid of the negro voto. He left the State nome years ago, and professes to have repented of his misdeeds while acting with the Republi can party. At any rate, whether be is sincere in bis repentauce or not, he bas j made an open confession, which ia good /or his soul, but exceedingly bad for his I former associates, who have represented Grant's Administration here.and are now the leader??of tile Hayes and Wheeler party ot North Carolina. There is hardly a prominent Republi can in the State, from thc ex-Confederate Settle, who is the candidate of that party for Governor, down to the rural district managers, who was not u member of the Ring which Deweese exposes, and the main facts that he recounts have long been known to the plundered taxpayers. lu 1872, when Grant was running for re election, not less than $316,000 taken from thc United States Treasury, ostensi bly for the purpose of suppressing ??licit distilling, waa spent by United States officials in this State for political pur poses. It is a singular fact that, so far us is known, there hits not been one revenue collector appointed by Grant in North Carolina who has not proved a defaulter, and the aggregate stealings pf these de faulters amount to over half a million dollars. Below arc the most interesting portions of thc address of De*vccse. 'i he James H. Harris mentioned in it is the leading colored politician in the State, and the chief manager of the Republican party here. Holden is the impeached anti dis graced Governor who desired to see G/ant made Emperor, and to have bis son Fred succeed iiirn on thc throne : nnv/EEsr/s ADDRESS. To the Voters of North Carolina : When I left your State, six years ago, it was with a determination to never again minglo with politics ; but, in a quiet way, vote for and support tho men and party I thought were best for my country's welfare. I had also determined that so far as any of the matters connec ted with politic.', in your State were to be of a sealed nature, so far as I waa con cerned, to let the dead past bury its tlead -shed no tear over its grave ; but, un fortunately, perhaps, for some of the par ties concerned, they concluded they would Bnift their Bin? on to my shoulders. Now, I hive enough of my own to bear, and propose, in a few statements, to put the stn where it piopcrly belongs. In the first place I was, as you all know, an officer in thc regular army of the United . Staten, stationed among you from the clive of the war until I resigned to take thc appointment of itegister in Bankruptcy, which I held until 1808, when I was elected to Congress. When the Constitutional Convention in J8?3 was in session, Messrs. Soutter ?Es Co., bankers of New Yo,-k city, were desirous of getting that assemblage of corrupt and doubtful repre.? n talion lo eudora $1, 000,000 of the old Slate bonds, gr re pledge the faith of thc Slate to their pay ment I was then inexperienced in all kinds of legislation, but had quile an ex tensive acquaintance with the member.; of that body. One of them, General Joseph C. Abbott, late a Senator in Con grci.<*, on learning what Alesars. Soutter & Co. wan .ed, told me that they would pay some considerable money to* get the Convention to pass a law re-endorsing the bonds ; that if I would see a Mr. Por ter, then in Raleigh, and make a bargain with him "for some definite sum, he (Ab bott) would nut tue bill through the Con vention, ano that wc would divide the money received from Soutter & Co. I did as he suggested. Mr. Porter agreed to give $5,000. General Estes, then a partner, or in some way connected with Abbott, represented Aobott; the bill waR passed, and money paid bv draft on New' York, and cashed at the Raleigh National Rank. The money was divided in Abbott's room, he and Estes laking $2,50(1, and I getting the other $2,500. Of this sum, I gave $500 lo Major Rice, from Pitt County ; $250 to James H. Harris, and kept the remainder. This was thc commencement of the swindles that were perpetrated bv the Convention and Legislature which led to the financial ruin of your State. Before the close of the Convention thc bill waa passed giving 8tate aid to tho Chathr ?n road, and $00.000 r?f bonds were given to General Littlefiold to pay members for their votes. The Legislature met, and the members, ever clamorous for all kinds of swindles and steals, their influence and their votes were up for aale to the highest bidder. At that time the ring was formed by Swepson, Abbott and kLittlcfield, by which all of these stealing laws were passed. They had up to that time been friendly with me. I Was, through their influence and, a liberal uso of money, nominated to Congress. Mr. James H. Harris was the only opponent I had in tne convention, ana he was paid by me ?1,000 to get out of the way and support mc. I paid him by check on the Raleigh National Bank, dated February 28t 1868. About this time the ring conclttdeo they would make a close cormvation and ?.nie me, but I demurred*, ina Mr. Swepson paid me $16.000 and I released any claim I had on them, or the spoils of the ring. I was again nominated, when Harris ".gain wanted to leech mo ; and this time I the colored patriot would take no less ??in $2,000, thu? making me bleed *3,000 to rcpreaent ns mean and worth less ? constituency of whites and blacks nj* ever called themselves Republicans. They should have been called by their proper names of thieves mid leeches.^ I v ' ty *k-8 time, come to the conclusion Inst Swepson. Abbott, LittierXd & Co. would be tired of their slinking me in the vray they had. So ? saw Judge Sammy Watts ; made an ttttangement with Judge w atts to enjoin thc issue of bonds to the railroad company, and he WAS to have $5,000 of State bonds for issuing and sus Jijining injunction3 in the Atlantic, and Tennessee Railroad ease. Thc suit was .J' the name of ono Kehoe, Of Ncwbern ; die case was fixed up, and Sammy got "is $5,000. There was but one railroad, I now remember of, that did not pay tribute- to thiH ring, and that was the Salem Road. They divined to "bleed." it wa? woll uot?cr?tood that Mr. Swep son was to -md did take care of Governor Holden, ?nd that he was paid for bl? in fluence. Andy Jones ana Swepson have often told me that Swenson paid Govern or Holden some $25,000, besides his stock ?ti thc Raleigh Notional Bank. ? know !?ntj LUtleftcld gave Governor Holden 515,000 for the Standard. The price was high, but the Governor gave hla caunLe rt?iito ano^ encouragement to steal vi, State. 80 it was about cveo. Governor Holden, Bill Sloan, Andy Jackson Jonen, V/indy Billy Henderson, Joe Abbott, General Entes, Sam Watts, Jim Harris, M. S. Liitleficld, G. W. Swopsonfand Tim Lee, nil hud rf febar* in too?) steals. J. C. L. Harris wanted to be Postmas .f/rl^'8 d*(!d-v? ?- L Harris, offered mo fl.OlM) to sign bis recommendation. I declined. Harri* then had Shaffer, the carpet bag register, who haa about as much brains as a bull calf, to writ? me a letter, offering mo $1,000 ?0 idgti it. I declined. Logan theu wanted to fight nie m Mahlers jewelry etorq for not giv ing him a recommendation. : Littlcfiehi, Swcpson and Abbott are to blame, one a? much aa thc other, for thc condition of affairs in yourStrtte. They corrupted the Legislature, us'ne such will-og tools as J. H. Harris io get the negro members to vote for all their rudroad schemes. Harris was by toem pa.d the monev with which he purchased his farm. In fact he woold do nothing unless he wat pr.'d for it. He must have received no lesj than $J5,000 Tor his in fluence and lib? vote. Abbott jot at least $100.000 for In's share. You all know tiow much your State was swindled out of; the members themselves received but lillie. Sam Carrow was paid $3.50C for lying lo inlucncc Koditian's opinion on thc lczality of the boQtls issued by the railroad company. Dick Badder "and Tim Lee each got their $:;,000 of Stale bonds out of thc Atlantic and Ohio Rail-oad Company appropria ion. In fact, not one of these Radical chaps that are now hounding me did a lick of work ; but they got ?heir pay, and your State bad to pay them. The stealing estended from one cid of the State io the other, and was cotifincd entirely lo the Republican patty. More than one mau now in ease and plenty in your State stole what bc is daily eating, and if thc Republican party is to be con tinued in power, you w'.ll get just four yca?"3 more of it. Jons T. DEWEESE. Patterson's Budget of Lies. WASHINGTON', September 20. Senator Patterson, of South Carolina, who has been feeling the political pulse in the State he claims lo represent in the United States Scna.e, arrived in this city to-day brimful of apprehension for the peaceable condition of affairs in that sec tion. He represents the State as one vast camp, every raaie citizen, black os well as white, being thoroughly armed with the best of revolvers and Winchester rifles, and war-like operations, drillings, mustering and military manoeuvring gen erally being the order of day and night. Ho also asserts that unless one is well known it is impossible for love or money to get possession of the munitions of wa in the State. Everything ia lugubrious in the extreme. The rice plantations nra practically at a stundsti'l, and from hiB Radica' point of v;cw a reign of terror exists throughout the Stoic, because sa it app??rk, tho chances of the Radical party to 'carry the election is becoming small by degrees aud beautifully less. Patter son says that in South Carolina much de pends upon the results of the October C?CCtiCH?1. *" r n it ! a n a mid Odin_Wiri York World. " > . ' WASHINGTON, September 20. Senator Patterson arrived here this morning from South Carolina to apply for more help to protect the votera and prevent the terrorism which extends over the whole Stale. Governor Chamberlain and United Plates Marshal Wallace and others- will arrive to-morrow morning. An old resident of Columbia told the Senator last week that he could not speak to him on the street if be met bim. Thc excitement and feeling is far worse than it was in 1800 and the days of secession, aud it is dangerous to even speak to a Radical. Judge Cooke, who has acted for years with the Republicans, made a speech net long since advocating the election of Wade Hampton and Governor Tilden, and excused himself by saying that he was forced to do so to save hiB property, and perhaps his life. The whole white male Democratic pop ulation is said to be completely armed, and large consignments of rifles, revolvers nnd knives are received const' atly. Yet no dealer will sell a Republican even a knife. The very boys aro armed, and thc boys of the military school at Colum bia openly wear their revolvers belted around them. The Senator says that fully 20,000 men, armed and mounted, are thoroughly patrolling the whole State under the direction and command of Butler of Hamburg fame, and these forces arc not only armed, but completely or ganized and drilled. The people are reported as expressing themselves openly in favor of a fight, aud as saying that they don't care a-I for the United States, the troops, or the North, but that they are ready aud anxious to clean out all the troops that General Grant can send. They say that if they do have ary trouble Governor Tilden will carry Indiana and Ohio in October, and New York in November, which ensures his election ; they are hound to elect Hampton or destroy tho Stale. Senator Patterson saya that unless they have immediate help no colored man will dare to move or talk, much lesa to vote, and if Indiana goes Democratic that South Carolina, North Carolina and Florida will follow, and there will be an outbreak which will almost be one of ex termination of Republicans, Mordent are done every day of which not a whis per reaches the North.-New York Tri bune. WASHINGTON, September 21. Governor Chamberlain, Senator Pat terson and the United States District At torney KV South Carolina were to meet here to-day and make a formal demand on Attorney General Taft for more troops for that 8tate, but Patterson only put tn an appearance. Tho latter wanui the whole State garrisoned, declares that Governor Chamberlain's life and his own aro not safe, and that tho government i m nat protect them and tho other officials. These frantic appeals are even disgusting the administration, for it was suter" n official quartets to-day that Patterson Uad not been in the State since C-mgrc-ss ad journed, except at tho Republican Con vention, and that Chamberlain has been making speeches in tho State unmolested. Attorney General Taft goes to Ohio to morrow, but has given general assurances that all thc troops needed for South Car olina will be forthcoming.-New York World._ - A newspaper is a window through which nico look on all that is going on in the world.

THE EVILS OF RADICAL MISRULE-A PLAIN RECITAL OF FA(TS, From (hf Charboon Fetri and (burier, fkjAembtr 22. Just five months since, iu tx lotter Co tho fair women of Lexington, Governor Chamberlain Said : "Ono hundred years ago South Carolina and Massachusetts ?ero struggling together for freedom and independence. To-day South Carolina is struggling alone for good government. By the memories of Lexington aud Moul trie, we beseech Massachusetts to staud by us, in this dire extremity, in thc spirit of Adamsand Hancock." The struggle ia more desperate than when those words winged their way to Lexington ; the banu that wrote them is lightlv clasped by thieves and ruffians; Gov. Chamber lain is tho duren candidate of thc lobber crew who, a few short months ago, were his foe and oura. But tho mernotiea of Moul'rte and J>xingt>n still live; thc spirit of Adams and F?nucock is not dmd. In their name, in our extremity, we ask of Massachusetts and thc other Stales of the "Old Thirteen," a fair and patient hearing, in order that our countrymen may know, as they have nevei known, the desperate imbecility and corruptiou have brought a quarter of a million of American citizens in South Carolina, to ensure whoso "domestic tranquility," with that of their countrymen, tho Con stitution of the United State? was or dained and established. I. A month ago the colored laborers in thc counties of Beaufort and Collctou druck for higher wagen. Many of thc bands were willing to work at thc ad vanced rate given ut thc beginning of liarveating, but thc ringleaders drove such laborers from the fields, get upon them, bruised them with clubs and bru tally whipped them. To this hour the two counties named arc in a perturbed condition. II. In Charlesion, on September 6, a nob of Radical negroes attacked two ool jred Dc m oe ru's, who were defended by a party i white citizens In the light that Misued one man was killed and several persons were grievously wounded. For ?onie hours thc negro rioters held undis puted possession of the principal thor jughfnre of the city. III. At the beginning of this week a lossu with a constable, bearing a warrant or the arrest of a negro charged with as uiult and robbery of nu aggravated char icter, were fired upon, near Ellenton, by i crowd of negroes, with whom the fugi tive from justice had taken refuge. These icgroes have sine? burned two dwelling louses and a number of barn.1. They re lioved the rai's on the Fort Loyal llail oad, threw a train from the track and ked into the irain. They ?hrca?on even low lo burn thc villages on the linc of IV. In thc quiet town of Aiken the vlnte citizens on Friday night slept on heir arms, thc blacks having beaten the long roll and manifested an intention to isc the torch as a surer weapon of offense dian shotgun or bludgeon. V. In Marion thc other day a negro resisted arrest, and. with his companions, ired upon and wounded one of the Sher iff's posse who attempted to arrest him. VI. The Deputy Sheriff of Ba-nwell, a Republican, is ambuscaded and wounded \)y iicgroea, uou i,ue dottie* of too oiuver .vith him were riddled with ball:'. The facts wo give, stripped to the bare ruth, and capable of confirmation by a :loud of trustworthy witnesses exhibit be situation of thu low country of South karolina, where the negroes predominate. For a mouth or more thc white citizens lave been in imminent danger. Tho asl lossin threatens them day hy day and the jarnburner by night. The Slate ?ove.'nmcut is in undisputed los-scsaion of the Republican party. What has been done by the State govcrn nent, or by local officers, to restore to he people, under the Constitution, the ti al ie nable lights of "enioying and de ?pdi.ig thei?- live* and liberties, of ac (tiiring, possessing and protecting pron ely, andof seeking and obtaining their ulety and happiness?" 1. In Beaufort nineteen of the Combn tee rioters were arrested. AU save five vere discharged. The remaining five vere tr!-.d on Wednesday. Their guilt vas admitted ; no defense was made. They were promptly acrjuitlcd. 2. A show ol authority was made in holleton, but tho rioters pursued the deputy Sheri!! and posse, rescued their msoncrs, and drove the "minions of the aw" in derision back to Walterboro'. The Sheriff of Colleton reports that ho uannot execute thc processes of the law n thc lower part of the county. 3. In Charleston one solitary arrest has leen made, und that was, af*er long de ay, upon the affidavit of a citizen who ma been assaulted. The city authori ses hear notlrng, say nothing; attempt Kithing. 4. iso arrests in Barnwell or Aiken! tfo arrests at Ellenton or Hatticville I 6. Where are the courts? Thc Radical Fudge of the circuit in which the main iisturbanccs take place, hurries into jourt, before the appointed hour of meet ing, and adjourns ut once. It was thc lav for the opening of the regular term ; idd an adjournment without dny is or lered, without reference to the rights of [irifliers, thc wishes of counsel, or the :onveiiience of tee jurors. 6. Where is the Governor of thc State? With the murderous volleys of thc Ellen ton rioters ringing in his ears, he deser ted his post on Monday night last, and lied him to Massachusetts I Several white men have been killed in ;he different combats, and a number ol legroes are reported to be slain. Thc negroes believe themselves to be above :he law, and act upon this belief. Tuc 3tate is threatened with a war of races. The State government, from Governoi lown, encourages thc lawless negroes tc iurtht'i excesses by thc failure to stamp mt the fi^t germs of disorder. And thc whites I What are they do mg? For their own protection and thal >f peaceful colored citizens, thoy hav< organized themselves in every district ft is the whites who mnintain ordei wherever order reigns. The Exccutivt sal's upon the United States troops to ar rest the Ellenton outlaws, and at theil soming thc whites withdraw. But thcs< troops, whatever their gallantry, canno gather at every fireside which is mcnacei with desolation ; nor can they, whateve their great good will, take the place t*.ia is filled by Governor, Sheriff, Judge nm jury, in a community where civil law i supreme. In thc low country of Soutl Carolina to-day there is neither civil lav nor military law. Neither the sword no the toga commands and maintains peace In Charleston and in Columbia ?quads o armed civilians belonging to diffeicnt or gAnizalions assemble each night in thci armories, under their oiiicora, ready t defend, musket in hand, their imperille hearths and homes.

The whites aro paramount there. But thc whites in thc country districts, where their numbers are few, are confronted by perils too monstrous to describe. Loss or iife and property !s the least of them I Such is the condition of South Caro lina to-day 1 Such is the pass to which Radicalism-?purning respectability and honesty, aud hugging debauchery and fraud to its bosom-luis brought tins people. Out of it comes the inexorable need of thc overthrow of Republican rule -not for Ti Idell's sake, not for Hamp ton's sake, not for the sake of party, but for tho sake of the quiet and security, the virtue and honor, this people cannot posses." whiic they have no civil govern ment save in name, and know ot' its ex istence only by its scandalous oppression and the iuces-saut demauds ol' tho tax gatherer. We entreat our fellow-countrymen to hear us! "South Cat?lina is struggling alone for good government." In tho ?pint of iTrncock and Adams, in thc name of Moultrie and Lexington, wo ask every lover of order and friend cf freedom io stand by us in thc hour of our need. More than moral aid and sympathy we do not require. We can work out our own salvation. What ne ask is? that Amercan citizens, taught from their cra dles to prefer death to the loss bf liberty, shall not he written down a? "banditti," because they are resolved to defend their altars and firesides to the last extremity, and shall not bc denounced as "rebels," because they ure fixed in tho unchangea ble purpose to procure, nt any eost, a government that will insure to ail classes thc safety and tranquility enjoyed by the people of every other Stale, and to which every A mercan citizen is entitled. The Struggle in South Carolina. Thc Philadelphia Times, an independ ent, non-partisan paper, and one of ihc most powerful and influential jou. nn'.s in the world, properly appreciates thc situ ation in South Carolina, and, in i's'alcst issue, speaks these brave and encourag ing words : There is one State in thc Uuio-- where the campaign is not conducted ou issues of the past. In South Carolina-plun dered, prostrate South Carolina-thc is Hue is one of life and death. No talk there of the Missouri Compromise or the terms of Lee's surrender, nor of income returns or milage accounts ; no talk even of Tilden or Hayes. A people for long years depressed in spirit, Stripped of worldly goods by th'oviafc officials, ground under tho heel of ignorance and vice, slandered and villihcd at home ami ahmad, erratic but honest and brave withal, are malting a last desperate effort to redeem their Stale and place it once more on thc high road lo prosperity so long by them untrodden. "My God," said Gen. Hampton to the correspondent of a Republican journal, "we cannot stand itt Our substance is consumed, and the very name of South Carolina has become a by-wuni and a reproach. Wo are in the gulf of despair. If the North ern people-yes, even the Northern Re publicans-knew our condition : knew it just as it is ; knew how wc have suffered and how we have been robbed, their sym pathies would be expended to us in this struggle. What we want is relief from the robbers."' An enthusiasm has been boin of this desperation, and the result is seen in a conservative canvass which has had no parallel in our history, unless it be fonud in the Log Cabin and Hard Cider demonstrations of 1840. Thc elec tion is pearly two months away, but the camp-fire blazes on every li* 11. Where hundreds came together fi former politi cal contests, thousands now gather. Ev ey man who can speak is on Ihc s'ump ; clubs are aciive in every township; torch es, fireworks, music, flags and flowers are pressed imo service, and thc women vie with thc men in what is termed the patri ic revival. A favorite device on the transparencies tells thc story. It is a rep resentation of a female figure burstiug munder her chains, and the legend thereunder reads: "The Prostrate blute Aroused." The campaign is one of sen timent, indeed, but of stern "eulity as well. We have indicated the characteristics of thc Conservative line of battle. What of tho array on the other Bide? Within thc last week the frightened robbers, re alizing the earnestness of their victims, have patched a peace among themselves and organized as well to defend their booty as to perpetuate their power. The Charleston papers bring U9 reports of thc proceedings of the State Republican Con vention, at which nominations were made in opposition to the Reform ticket. It was a motley gathering. If there was an honest man m it he Hoes not opea his mouth. The leading ?pirita were Elliott, thc most corrupt, though, perhaps, the shiest, colored mun in political life ; Jones, of Georgetown, who sold himself thrice in tho Republican Convention, of 1874; Patterson* tho purchaser of a scat in thc United States Senate ; Whittemorc, the Congressman expelled for cadet.shM> peddling; Bowen, tho bigamist; Mobley, tao incendiary, and a dozen other notori ous fellows, tarred with tho stick of cor ruption. Tho speeches were marked by open assaults upon thc integrity of every candidate bcroru the convention. One man open'y declared that if tho worst man in the party waa nominated ho would vote for him, and said with glee "that if there was five years of H.ealing in South Carolinalle was glad of it, as it would serve the Democrats right." At last thc charges and counter churges became BO bitter and disgraceful that the convention went into secret session, and for nine boors washed their dirty linen with closed doors. After such scenes the ticket pre sented was such an one as might havo been expected of such a body. For Gov ernor, they named Chamberlain, who, having put bis hand to tho plow of re form, turued back to get a nomination from the men whom ho had pilloried as the worst that ever cursed a free country ; for Treasurer, Cardoma, who escaped im peachment for malfeasance by spending tho fortune stolen from thc State m buy ing his sworn judges ; for Attornev-Geu cral, Elliott, who was denounced by the head ot" the ticket as n thief, and who in turn spent hours in t'ying to provo to the convention that thc head of the ticket is a traitor and a knave. And this ia the party and thc ticket with which Northern people arc, expected to sympathize, and for the success of which Chandler is to send his money and Taft his Marshals and Cameron bis troops to South Caroli na. And this is tho work for which the New York \lHmrs thanks God, and which it calls a victory for reform. An other Hayes organ h tut said that when thc people of the North have to chooso between an ex-i*ebel und a thief they will take tho thief. The sympathies of all honest people, North or South, must gc out towards tho Conservatives of South Carolina ia their struggle for honest gov ernment. Shame to the party who would have it otherwise. - When doctors disagree apothecaries are happy, - They Must* be Unloaded. Tbe JUdicrtl politicians who nominated Chamberlain sud Elliott io the late State Convention, which they controlled abso lutely, are tho very gang who nominated Moses in 1G72 and Chamberlain in 1874, and who, throughout the legislative aca sionsef 1874 und 1876audaciously resisted the passage of every measure thutlookcd to a reduction of thc public expenditures and the prevention of theft and fraud hy pub lic officci?. In that Convention were the monkey*} who had purloined the chcanuts and the cats who pulled them out of the "pre. Hardly one familiar nam?* was miss ing. Nash was ?tot there, the sooty Sena tor who has the merit of boldly avowing purposes that his comrades usually irv to conceal. For instance, in tho Senate, a whiter or two ago, Nunn reminded his fi lends that thc Old Ship of State waa bearing down inion them, wiih deck? heaped high with spoils, and urged thc political buccaneers to jump aboard, ere she passed, aud uecu^o their share of thc plumier. I/e?lic was hoi there, thc knavish Land Commiaaioner,whoae swindling ope* rations, or some of them are fully sot forth in the report of a special committee, prmuntcd, but not acted upon, at the last session of the General Assembly. Hut Elliott, Smalls, Bowen, Whilicmn-c Swnila and Owens were in thc Convention, wiih (heir dependents anti accomplices. The whole number of dc'.cgutcs in tho Con ven lion was I'M. Forty-four jfthese were members of the Inst General Assembly ; sixteen of them wfe roembem of the no toriously con upt Senate., Thc remainder carno from counties represented in the Legislature by Democrats, or by Indepen dent Republicans; The foriy-four, with Patterson to load them as he led them in 1874 anti 1?72, ruled tho Convention as 'hey had ruled (he Lcgislaiure. There was no improvement in thu character of the delegates, fhe same conatiljcncies re turned tho same representatives. A re not the Democracy justified, therefore, in as suming that thc new promises of reform are ns hollow as the old, and that tho pro lent object of tho Republican party, as represented by i s lenders, is precisely what it was under Sco't and Moses? T!ie thieve? of yesterday are thc thioves of to day ; (he .'machine" is run by the same bauds, and mu-t run in the same way nod i-i the same direction. In 1871, in accepting thc nomination for Governor, Mr. Chamberlain entreated his fellow-Republicans lo put at his back, and by hi? side, a Legislature which wouhi co-operate heartily with him in reducing expenses and in correcting abuses gener ally. The onswer to th?6 was tho elec tton, oxcopt in Counties carried by the Independents and Conservati vies) of the rascals who shared in tho crimes and ex cesses which gr?ve thc "Robber Govern or" his bad preeminence. There was n platform in 1874 as in 1576, and equally emphatic and definite in ils Iiledges. Tho platform of 1874 solemnly lound the party to carry out thc promises of reform mnde two years before. What wa*, then promised was : The reduction of the public expenditures within tho reven ue to he derived from a moderate tax ; un immediate reduction in thc salaries of all public officers, from tho highest to the lowest, and a reduction in tho number of public offices. Besides this, the platform of 1874 specifically renewed thc pledge that the nubile expenditures should be kept within thc public revenue. Thc record shows that not ono of these prom ises were kept, As tho tax levy for 1874-76 was made during tho session of 1C73-74, thc new Legislature was fully cognizant of thc amount of revenuo nt its disposal. Nev ertheless, so extravagant were the appro priations that the deficiency for thc fiscal year 1874-75 was $308.872, including the loss by the failuro of the Solomon Bank, while ibo total lax this year is higher than ever before. Nor was an immediate, reduction made in the salaries of all pub lic officers. The wrangling und argument of two sessions produced a bill effecting n saving in salaries of $30,000, and thia was so amended that it does not go- into operation until next November ! AH far as we know no reduction whatever was made in thc number of public officers, ex cept by diminishing for party reasons the number of trial justices in some of the Counties. Every pledge of specific re form was ruthlessly broken, and, besides, other reform measures, strenuously ad vised by Governor Chamberlain, "were promptly voted down. In defiance of tho positivo mandato of the Constitution, the Legislature refused to provide for tho election of Justices of the Peace and Constables by the people, nod ror the registration e? electors, and instead of reducing thc length of tho session to thirty or forty days, remained in session, in 1875-70, no less than ono hundred and forty davs. Thc members, moreover, sought to alter tho Consolida tion Act wdiich they had bound them selves to maintain unchanged. They failed to tako any sufficient action to es tablish thc responsibility of tho persons by whom the State, through the Solomon Bank, was swindled out of $200,000. Tho m?jori;y of the Radical members fought, tooth and nail, to secure thc passage of tho extravagant and injurious bills that thc Executive had vetoed. Finally, thc same Legislature, on "Black Thursday," elected Moses and Whipper to tho Cir cuit Beuch, committing nn act, which in tho words of GorovneT Chamberlain, sent "a thrill of horror throughout thc Stale." Some reductions, aa explained in previous articles^ were secured ; but they were ob tained oy tho Conservative members, ai ded by the better Republicans, and de spite the efforts of the forty-four members who took the lead in tito State Conven tion. Theso are facts, established by thc re cord. They show that, in no case, havo such Radicals as the Forty-four projected a single measure of substantial reform, and tue history of thc State, dnring the last eight years, BIIOWH that thc same gang of ru.nans contrived, or shared the profits of, every rascally scheme, from the Lnnd Commission swindle to the Printing steal. It is idle to expect such persons to re form themselves. They may do lt with in the wlls of a penitentiary. They can not do k so long as they run at large and live by plundering thc people. There i? indeed only one euro for our public ills, and thu*, is. "to unload Moses and Whip per, and ali who go with thom." Arid they can be unloaded In but one way, and that is by the election of Hampton in November.-New? and Courier. A BROKER CONVERSATION.-A widow of my acquaintance at the Ocean was emphatic on thc horrible figure that the loveliest woman must cut while bathing. I remarked that thc Queen of Love ano Beauty was fabled to have sprung from tho foam of thc sea, and that she must have been channing. "Oh, yes; but she had nothing on. I should look charming-."

Governor Chamberlain, of South Caro lina. |n*Ute<J pxjf attending tb hia duties has been visiting the North, and, on his return to Washiimton, which seems to he his headquarters, lip gives out that ho has heardof the murder of from thirty to one iiundrcd.nogroes in thc State du ring ids absence. ~ "From thirty to one hundred" is a vague phrase. Its use coufessas n shameful amount of ignorance in tin- Governor ol' the State, whose sworn duty is to maintain thc peace of thc State, protect the live? of thc citizens, and to see that lawlessness is punished. Tile peop'a., of South Carolina aro asked to vote, fur Governor Chamberlain-to re elect him to bis place. Dut why should they? At u time of great excitement he leaves thc, State, abandons ins post of duty und 'returns only to send out a vague report of thc killing of sourio of its citi zens. Evidently be is not a fit man for Governor: he is not cveu a safe man. General Wade Hampton is his oppo nent, ti>e non..nco cf the Democratic party. ..What docs Geo. Hampton say about the peace of tho Stater Ho is making un active and thorough canvass, and everywhere, from ovcry platform and stump, ho pledges his won! that if ho is elected Governor he will "observe, protect and dofeud tho rights of thc col ored man ;" hu solemnly promise? to "render to the whole pcoplo cf thc State equal aird impartial justice;" aud to make tins promise specific, ho adds: "If thero is a : white man iu this assembly who, because he is a Democrat or because lie is a white man, believes that when I am elected Governor, if I should be, I I will utand between him and the luw, or grant to him any privileges or immuni ties that shall, not be granted to the col ored man, he is mistaken, and I tull him now, if that is bis reason for voting for aie, not tu vote at all." These are the honest, sensible wordH of General Hampton. What has Governor Chamberlain Haid or done to match them? What did he do on thu heelsof the Ham burg massacre? He ran to Washington to appeal for help. What does he do in tho middle of thc canvass? Promise equal and exact justice to all citizens? Guarantee that he will "observe, defend and protect thc rights of thc colored niau?'' Not at all. He leaves the State l'or a visit to New England. Why should thc colored men of South Carolina voto for Mr. Chamberlain ? What bas ho done? What does he pro- ' ?Miso to do for them ? If they are sensi- ' Ldc men they will vote forGcn. Hampton. He at least make? thom a definite prom iso. He makes it for himself aud for the gentlemen who are ori tho ticket with ' him. Not only that) but he warna every man who does not agree with him that all tho people, colored as well ns white, shall be equally s.-cure in lifo, liberty and ! property, that lie had hotter not vote for ?j liiui. If we were asked by n South Caro lina colored man how ho should voto we should tell him, "Vote for Generr.niamp ton ; hold bim and his to the responsibility they aro willing to assume. They are men of character, men of property, old citizens of tlie State ; go and shake hands with them ; toll them you will trust thom. Vote lor Hayes for President if you like. It is natural that you should prefer a Republican President, particu larly if you tire going lo try a Democrat ic State government. Rut vote for Gon ai Hampton and thc Democratic State ticket. Chamberlain has not protected you, and, depend upon it, if Hayes is chosen President, he is not going to lis ten to Chamberlain or any oilier South ern Governor who runs up to Washington to tell his tale, when he ought to bo on the spot to seo justice done oetween you and your wdiite neighbor. Mr. Hayes docs not believe in federal interference in the South." That is the advice wc should give to South Carolina and also to Louisiana colored men. If they only took time calmly to consider the matter they would sec that while tho Southern "tepublicun politician lives upon "outrages," and prospers the moro, tho more colored men are wionged or slr'o, the Southern Dem ocrat must perforce 'maintain peace and order ; for if he does not tho whole North hoots nt him and demands that thc fed eral power shall upset him.

A meddlesome Radical poli tician met the boys soon after they had J.itched their tents ou n hill above tho lepot, mid called out: "Hurrah, boys, for Hayes I" Not a solitary cheer responded. One of the sergeants stepped out of the crowd and remarked : "You have made a mistake; we don't cheer for Hayes; we are Tilden men." "What! you do not mean to say you oppose? the men who give you food and clothing ?" "Yes, wo do.

HE D?CLARES I-QR HAMPTON AND RE DEMPTION. Judge Mackey, by invitation, addressed the Tilden and Hampton Club in thc court house at Oh ester last Saturday eve ning. Soon as it became known that he was to speak tho Unase waa packed with white and colored citizens Ile arose amid deafening cheers-proclaimed him self atilt a Republican, hut not of the band that hes been despoiling and ruin ing thc Stat?. Just herc- it is duo the Judge tost?te that this was not tho.first time he had declared his purpose; to sup port which ever ticket promised genuine reform. Early as the first ot August he made such declaration, and ha- sinco re pented it hero and elsewhere-had pro claimed at Republican .meetings before Chamberlain's nomination and in his presence that unless they put Iii the Acid as good a ticket as tho Democrats, he would support tho Democratic ticket with might and main. lie stated that the alaur?ctJve features of political parties'arc iib't in their titles but in their platforms, and-that thc chief points of difference between the Demo crats and Republican parties had blend ed-their names wero a matter of con venience, and that Hampton Waa virtual ly on tho Re publican pint form. The Democratic ticket /afforded thc ouly hope, the only guarantee of honesty, integrity and equal justice to 'all,' and was bound to sweep tho Stale, ?le' hesitated not to take lus position with those -who mo moving to redeem tho government of South Carolina, und would canvass for Hampton from thc crest of the Blue Ridge to thc salt water. Tho Judge de picted forcibly tho folly and inevitable doom of the colored population i-i their attempt to array themselves solidly against the native whites with whom they are to live and fo Hits' Foreign adventurers, political leaders of the negro, regarded South Carolina as a camping ground from which they could and would flee at their convenience and leave the deluded negro to his fate. Rut the other day while the soil of South Carolina was drinking up thc blood of her -citizens w hile ami colored, Chamberlain, instead of being at his post and struggling to al lay passion and violence, was making a visit to his home in Massachusetts. Ho was approached on the train hy tho Judge and entreated to return to Columbia mid exert, himself in behalf of peace und or der, but all in vain. Now Oovernor Chamberlain might be found sOr./ewherc under tho North pole; when, if Hamp ton hud been Governor he would, under similar circumstances, have been ut his post ready, at tho peril of his life, to pro tect the hnnib'r?-t Citizen, Win?c or oinck. Hy facts and figurcH he was prepared to diow that tho Biddings of tho last eight years would be amply sufficient, without inc collection of a cent of taxes, to run the government for ns many years in tho future. The prosperous condition of tho negroes in Virginia, Georgia and other Sou,hern States was contrasted with his impoverished condition here in South Carolina. He predicted that the first ef fort to restrict the negro suffrage would bo made by tho North. Tho board of Stuto canvassers composed of officials and candidates in opposition to tho Demo ersisc par*y was p"-".cu :,~ ?C?tmng re view. Th? speech called forth repeated cheering and was listened to throughout with marked attention, and on motion of Mr. J. D. Means thc thanks of tho club were voted to tho Judge for his nddress. Mr.ralinl Wallace Interviewed. The election law of tho United States provides for thc appointment of super visors of olcctiops and deputies. The former aro appointed by tho Uuited States Commissioners. In making these appointments, tho Commissioners aro bound to choose one from each political Carty, in order that both parties shall e equally represented at the polls. Thc deputies aro appointed by the United Stales Marshal, wno uses his own discretion in these appointments. A reporter of tho Journal of Commerce called upon United States Marshal, R. M. Wallace In order to uncertain from him how he intended to mnko theso ap pointants, and elicited tho following facts. Tho Marshal stated that it was left with him entirely whom ho should appoint, that thom were certain counties in the Stnte in which ho would appoint none but Republicans, that he dla not think that he could trust a Democrat in those counties. There were other coun ties in which ho would make thu ap pointments equal between the two polit ical parties, and that there were certain other counties in which ho did not deem it necessary lo make any appointments whatever. When asked why it was that ho in tended to choose from but one political party in certain of tho upper counties, he replied, that ho was responsible for all deputies appointed, and would not feel authorized to choose from ibo Democrats in those counties, for 'that they havo openly announced that no Republicans would vote lhere, and ho did not soe how he could trii.it tho Democrats in tho io coumics; and ho would not assumo the responsibility upon himself, as ho was in a great measure accountable for tho ac tions of nil the deputies whom ho might appoint. To tho question, whether if tho Chair man of tho Exeeutivo Committees for each county should recommend certain parties for appointment he would approve of the samo and commission them r ho answered that he would investigate tho matter, and if tho parties were such as lie thought could bo trusted, he. certainly would, and that ho would be glad if the Democrats of each county would send in the names of parties whom they wished to recommend to those appointments, so as to give him an opportunity to investi gate.-Journal nf Commerce. A MULE WILLING TO Go.-A bad little boy in Portland lit a pack of fire crackers and threw them into tho street to eec them "go off." Ono of Ike Bate man's mules came along and swallowed them before they "went off." The mulo walked about fifteen feet and stopped. Things wcrn't acling right inside. Ho began to taste thc smoke of the fire crackers, when he laid his left car around ugaiust his ribs and heard something. It was tho crackers having fun. The mulo picked out about three and a half j miles of straight road and started. A negro met him nbout a mile tho other , side of thc alms house, going south, white with perspiration, with streams of smoko shooting ont of his nostrils, mouth and cars, while his tail stuck straight up, and a streak of blue and green smoko, about ten feet long, following in tho rear. Ike found his mule tba next day, sticking half way through a farm house near Paddy's Run, .still smoking. Tho man bini got his family out and put them into S ot of trees.

And it is an error to suppose that tho ribing generation in thc South will sub mit to bo ruled by the blacks, bo tho b'aek majority what it tnny. Thc black majority in South Carolim?, Mississippi ami Louisiana will bo overcome-if not in one way, then in another. Nothing can keep the whiles under except a war each general ion. 'ibo generation that is thoroughly wuippsd out w4U submit, but the next and thc next will revolt, and so on forever, Revolt, ?Wean, against local black government, just aa they did in Mississippi iasc fall, and just as they' are doing now in South Carolina. 1 Suppose they should succeed in overthrowing the local government hero, and the federal authority should set it up again, . how long wou"d it stay up ? Until Uncle Sam got his back turned. Nothing less than a standing array-continued appli cation of force-can sustain the govern ment of thc Republican party in any of the cotton States. Well, suppose tho Democrats should elect a Preaidcut, what then? The black governments in the cotton Slates would ?all like blocks of ca'ds, no.-would the National Democracy trouble them selves to set tho same up again. Wo could w.'iie "ailis'" over each. You must recollect that there is now a generation in the South who took no part iii tho war-they havo r.ome upon the boards since-and it is rhis genera tion of young Aincrieu that aro taking Mich active steps towards "redeoraing" South Carolina, that are forming rino clubs, salve companies and tho like. Tho object is to do a good deal of para ding around at night, and intimidate the blacks by a display of force, but without a resort to actual violence. THIS IB THE LAST PLAN, aud if it fuils to work uow, it will bo tried at thc next election, with a little stiffer attention to detnll?: But gain the victory the whites certainly will-if not nt this election, then a*, tho next. If not in one way, then iu another. It is more ly a question of time. MARTIAL LAW IN THE SOUTH.-Of course tho report which cornea from Washington, that tho administration thinks of declaring martial law in tho Southern States, is nonsense. We aro not livMig in Mexico, and tho Congress of 1875 did not pass tho Force bill. To attempt to interfere, with federal arms mid martial law, in the Southern elec tions would h.- '-.r the Republicans to give up the struggle. They would excite a storm of alarm and indignation in tho North which would sweep the Northern States against them. Tho truth is tho Republican party does not deserve to carr;* any Southern Siaio, unless it bc North Carolina, where the parties aro very equally matched, and where tho Republicans aro as respectablo and as certain to givo tho State a good go vern men b as the Democrats. They might have carried a number of tho other States if they bud paid only a littio at tention to good government down lhere ; if it had not been so long tho policy at Washington to encourage and support with tho federal patronage a set of graceless and unscrupulous political gam blers and adventurers, to the exclusion of honorable and honest men, who might easily hnvo been brought into tho Re publican party by the use of a little wis dom and good management. That the South is to-day a unit, or very nearly so, for tho Democratic party is the fault of Republican mismanagement at Wash ington. Every man, no matter whether bo is Republican or Democratic, who de sires to ?'.co the Southern States honestly ruled must wish that they shall be car ried thia fall by tho Democrats.-New York Herald. TUE STRIKE IN THE B. OE F.?LDS. There is a new strike among the negroes employed on the rice plantations in South Carolina. Tho strikers have, it is report ed, attacked tho people who are willing to work, and tho latter at once cry out for federal troops to protect them and appeal to a United States Court. Where is Governor Chamberlain ? The poor negroes, too long taught to look , only to tho federal power for help in uU their troubles, know no better; they do not know what local government means. How should they, when they have soon tho Governor of tho State himself rushing, to Washington to report a riot instead of doing his sworn duty? General Wado Hampton spoko to tho purpose tho other day when he said, "Whatever I may be able to do for you if ?ou place mo in the chair of Governor, if cannot suppress a '.lot, if I cannot go to . the people ot Carolina, white and black, aud say to them these are tho laws and you mus* 'Uphold and enforce them, if I car..tot appeal to Carolina's sons to sup port mo in the laws that I am sworn to muiutoJu, then cast me out with scorn from the office that I dishonor." That is sound to tho core. It is the ' greatest crime of those who havo mis ruled in tho Southern States, like Kellogg in Louisiana and Chamberlain in South Carolina, that they havo not enforced tho laws, and havo thus encouraged lawless ness, and, at tho same time, misled tho ignorant Slacks who trusted them.-jVcto York Herald.
