THE "BLOODY SHIRT? 1?T SOUTH CAROLINA. Governor Chamberlain's Second .Bid for Northern. Sympathy. Columbia, S. C, October 9, 1876. To the People of the United States: An effort having been made by the official representatives of the Democratic party of this State to deny the facta and condi? tion of affairs which were set forth in. my recent letter to the chairman of the Dem? ocratic State Executive Committee, and upon which my proclamation of the 7th inst. rests, I deem it my duty to say, upon my full offiei.il responsibility, that I am at this moment in possession of authentic legal evidence to substantiate every fact and statement made by me in the docu? ments above referred to, and I further assert, upon my full official and personal responsibility, that the lawlessness, -terror? ism and violence to which I have referred far exceed in extent and atrocity ..any statements y.et made public. This.latter statement resits upon the evidence in my hands of persons who have officially, in? vestigated the facts at the places where they occurred, and upon the affidavits of United States.. army offices who were present at the scenes of violence and murder. _ The Hon. D. T. Corbin, United States District Attorney for the State, who has Sersonally made a separate ana indepen ent investigation of the Elienton riot, furnishes me with the following state? ment of the results reached by him; a statement, -as1 will be seen, more than verifying my statements and vindicating my action. Of the four judges whose statements are presented by the official representatives of the Democratic party as impeaching my statements,1 not one professes to have any knowledge of the 'facts stated by me, and of the t wo Repub? lican judges, Judge Moses disclaims any such knowledge, and Judge Wi'lard states that ho has been absent from the State for the past three months. All the evidence in my hands and in the hands of the United States District Attorney will be made public as soon as the inter? est of public justice will permit it. I pledge myself to the country to prove a condition of affairs in this State produced by the Democratic party more disgraceful than any state ent yet made by me, and I shall not stay my hand until punish? ment overtakes its guilty authors.'1; My only offence is too great caution in ob? taining evidence, and too great delay in exercising my" utmost power to 'protect our citizens. ~ D. H. Chamberlain, Governor of South Carolina. ' District-Attorney Corbiu's Report* cJ Columbia, October 9,1876. : To Governor D. H. Chamberlain ' ~ ' Dear Sir?You huving askea-of me a statement of the general condition of affairs' in Aikeh County as I found them to be' in my visit during the past week, I have the honor to state that I spent three days in Aiken, and had before me, and took the affidavits of, a considerable number of citizens from different parts of the county. I find that rifle clubs, or regular military organizations, organized substantially after the manner of military companies in the United ?tates. army,, exist throughout the county. Theoffi-; cers of these companies are called cap? tains and lieutenants, and the subordi? nate officers are called sergeants and cor? porals. They are all armed with wea . pons of various patents, but many of them of the latest and most improved kinds. Rifles and sixteen-shooters are most common. Pistols'are' universal. These companies meet at stated intervals for drill in the various military manoeu? vres. They are also subject to be called out on anjr occasion by their* command-, ing officers. These cliibs have created and are caus? ing a perfect feign of terror. The coj?fed men are, many of them, living out of doors and away from their bouses at nightfall. Many of ithera have been killed, and many have been taken from their beds at night and mercilessly*, whipped, and others have beetf'hxrhted' with threats of murder and whipping,; who, thus far, by constant watchfulness and activity, have escaped. The white men of these clubs are riding day and night, and the colored men are informed that their only safety from death or whip-j ping lies in their signing an agreement* pledging themselves tc vote >th?rDe>mo-i cratic ticket in the coming election. From the best information I could obtain in the time I was in Aiken, I fix the number of colored men killed in this county alone by white men of these clubs, during the past three weeks, at thirteen certainly, and at probably twenty-five,'or thirty. The civil arm of the government in this county, is as powerless as the wind to prevesit these atrocities^ The sheriff of the county, if disposed, dare hot at? tempt to arrest the perpetrators of these crimes for'fear of nis own life i:being taken. He did not, as I i<m credibly in? formed, go within seven miles-of MiA?-' eight hundred men, so estimated by United States army officers who saw them ? assembled under the command of A. P. Butler, pear. Rouse's Bridge,.and .march?, ing upon a crowd of colored men there, whom they Had surrounded and intended, as scores of them allege,'to kill. ;; ' In' conclusion, I have only to say that the condition of affairs in Aiken Copnty rivals the worst demonstration of the Jiu Klux Klan in 1870 to 187L fti my judg? ment you owe it to youreelf as-GcVernor| and to thejpeople'of the State, tbexercise, and at ohce, all the powers vested in yon as Governor of the'.'State? to put down this deplorable state of affairs,. ;; Yerv respectfully, 'T"1 1 " D.

Enormous P?wei which it J gives the South -Views of Gen. Wade [amptou. jt. V. Redfield in Cincinnati Commercial. the next. party. October 2, 1876. We are told that it is always probable that improbable things.: will happen.? Certain it is that I hear whisperings in the South, and not so very soft, either, to the effect that the next party to disturb politics and distribute patronage will arise in the North, and have for its corner stone the disfranchisement of the blacks. Wade Hampton, the king white man of South Carolina, says that it will require the united effort of the South to main? tain negro> suffrage in the future! He predicts that a powerful party will arise in the Northy demanding the disfranchise? ment of the negroes, because their , en? franchisement is giving stich political power to the South that'she will soon control ? the National government. He thinks this will be the' next great battle, and that the Southern white men must, defend black suffrage with all their might, for if it is lost the South will cut no figure at all in the National government, having but about eighty-five electoral votes. Behold what great power negro suf? frage has given the South ! It has in? creased their representation so largely , that, with the aid of New York, Con? necticut and California, for instance, they can control legislation, elect the Presi? dent and administer the government ma? chine as they may 'see fit. The rest of the United States can whistle. The solid South and the three States named will be the government in all that the term applies. The North will not relish this. Indeed, there are signs that they do not relish the prospect now, aud hence the very great effort to hold New York to the Republi? can party. The far-seeing' men in the South, or those! who are esteemed as far seeing, declare that nothing Can prevent the South from having a controlling voice in the government but the disfranchise? ment of the blacks. And they argue that this will be the next great question which will agitate the country, the North con? tending for black disfranchisement, in order to keep the South from running the government. It is plain, very plain, that the blacks will be made subservient to the whites in every Southern State, and that so far from enabling the North to hold the gov? ernment, this enfranchisement ?>-having Srecisely the opposite effect, giving the outh so large a number of Congressmen I and electoral votes that this sectiou will virtually hereafter be the ruling power at Washington. Look at Georgia. The white popula? tion of that State is but little in excess of donble the population of Cincinnati, yet Georgia has nine Democratic Con? gressmen; two Democratic Senators and eleven electoral votes I A population but little above twice that of Cincinnati has all these, and throws them in a solid lump, in the interests of the solid South. So far as the blacks of the State are con I cerned, they have no more voice in the ! National government than so many black stumps. The fact that every Senator and member of Congress from Georgia is a Democrat?and not only a Democrat, but J a Southern Democrat?a Georgia-born I Democrat?is evidence that the blacks of that State are without voice at Washing? ton. For all practicable purposes you .had as well give every black stump in Georgia a vote as every negro. The whites find it as easy to control one as the other, and consequently are perfectly well satisfied with negro suffrage,. as it. gives them nine Congressmen and eleven electoral votes, which they throw in a solid chunk. In fact, they are beginning to love negro suffrage, for it will as surely, give the South control of the National government as the years roll around. . another.cheerful example. -. Look at South Carolina. - The white population of that State is uow almost precisely the same as Cincinnati. Yet this white minority will surely control' the blacks hereafter, and throw the seven electoral votes with the solid South. They will yet have all the Congressmen and both Senators. It is but a question of time. The wealth, intelligence, prop? erty and moral force of a State will as surely control it as the sun shines when this agency is without opposition, except from the negrqes-^-a'nice [that have never beeh able to staud' out against the whites in any particular for. any! length' of time. Disfranchise the blacks and reduce the representation down to the white popula? tion, and South Carolina would have two Congressmen , instead of five, and four electoral votes instead of seven. And Georgia;, wbuld ,have^five' Copgressinen instead of nine, and-seven electoral votes instead of elevei}. .^Arm Alapama wou|d have four Congr^men in^te^- of eight,'' and six electoral votes'instead of ten.

Saturdayi' JWatfe Hampton, Democratic candidate Tor Goveruor of South Carolina, made a speech, to the blacks of Darlington county. This is a very heavy black coun? ty, about two to one, but we are told that it will go Democratic. Please read what General Hampton said in his speech there to the blacks. It is right to the point. Speaking of the fact that he was an early advocate of negro suffrage, because it would give the South much power, he says: "Why did I recommend that you be permitted to vote? There are 800,000 colored voters in the South. They add to the power and strength of the South. We have more voters in the Presidential contest, and we have more Representa? tives in Congress. Why should we want to cut off one-third of our votes? .Of course we should desire to keep them. We know that if the time has not come, that it will come and must come, when j blacks and whites in the Southern States will come together." t -m ? j That is, all vote the Democratic ticket, and make a solid South. He continues: "We would be, indeed, fools to desire, with 800,000. colored votes and 1,600,000 white votes'^ to cut off one-third of our strength. The North saw it, and hence the Mortons and Andrews opposed the move to allow the colored people votes. I was the first man in the South who ad? vocated that measure, and I have never gone back on it. You will all have to come together, and I have been waiting for the time, and it is not far distant now, when all the colored people will be ready to 'jine the cavalry.'" [Applauseand laughter.] , Do you see the point? He has cer-! tainly made it very plain. Speaking of the fact that he was the very first white man in South Carolina to advocate negro suffrage, he says: "I made the proposition at several pub? lic meetings in Columbia, and I took the ground that they had been made citizens, and that they should not be excluded from the right to vote. And I recom? mended then, (aud at that time pone but whites had .the, xigh't "t? yqfe,1 T whom your leaders tell you'am areoel, that'I am an unreconstructed fire-eater, they will tell you the Lord only knows what about me, and yet I repeat that I was the first man in South Carolina who recom? mended that the right to vote should be-1 S-ven to the colored people. [Applause.} o to Nash, Edwards and others, and ask them if what I have told you is not true. When I was taking that ground in South Carolina, Governor Morton^ your, choice for the Presidency, the man who, waving j the bloody shirt and digging^nto the very graves of our dead, made speeches j at the North, in Which he said your peo? ple were not fit to vote, and recommended that the franchise should not be granted them for twenty years. I have the speech of Governor Morton, and any of you can see it if you wish. My speeches were also published, and you can see them if you desire. Governor Andrew, also an? other . of your Republican friends, took; the same ground as Morton, and I have his speech also. These are facts that cannot be disputed. They are printed documents and are now among the ar? chives of Massachusetts and of Congress. These are the men who profess now to be your warmest friends?these men who would have put their feet upon your lib? erties for all time." He was in favor of black suffrage, be? cause it would give the South a prepon? derating weight in National affairs. ,:. At the same time, Morton, in Indiana, made a very clear and argumentative speech against negro suffrage, copies of which Hampton reads to his black audi? tors, and distributes among them for their edification. . ? itKt* It is now in order for some reformer, who thinks the South is occupying too much space in affairs, to start a party having for its: cardinal principle the graceful taking of the negro out of poli? tics by way of a counter-acting constitu? tional amendment But you may be sure no Tilden reformer will start such a par? ty. They have got too good a thing of it If the Democracy capture the Nation it will be through the preponderating weight which negro suffrage 'has given [the solid South. They virtually have a gift of the representation arising from eight hundred thousand votes to begin with. This, of itself, is a fair start to? ward Washington. _ How He was going to the Centen? nial.?Those colored residente of Ral? eigh who were talking of an excursion to the Centennial have about given up the subject.

South Carolina Politics. : If the Republican leaders have not lost their flenses they will make haste to warn Governor Chamberlain, of South Caro? lina. He is playing with fire. He is evidently stirring up trouble in "order that he may have an excuse for calling on the federal government to interfere in the election. Fortunately, this is a trick which has been played so often in Loui? siana, in Mississippi, in Alabama and elsewhere in the South, that it is now understood in the North, and if, the Northern Republican, leaders are base enough to play into Chamberlain's hands, to allow him to use them for his purposes, in the hone that his victory will help them?if they do this, they will between now and November cause a revulsion in public sentiment against ihem all through the Northern States. Th is is not Mexico.1 The war ceased eleven years ago, and all sensible men jin the North believe that it is now, time to.let. the Southern States manage their own affairs, and believe this because they see that wherever federal iilterfejrence ^ash&ased; peace) lias at once.^. j *q? auf tau a t" -ir}a yu GoverawChahA$rlfi^^^ mation ordering-armed bahds-to "disperse. The correspondent of a Republican news? paper, relates that he has made thisproc-; lamaiion.on the report of, United States marshals, whom, it seems, he sent to make investigations for him; and the same correspondent, evidently in Cham? berlain's confidence, adds that the Gov? ernor means, if bis proclamation is not obeyed, to call on President Grant for troops. Why? Suppose for a. moment that there are armed combinations in the State actually resisting .and defying the laws?though this is denied by three Judges of the Supreme Court, all Repub? licans. But suppose it true. Has Gov. Chamberlain used his own powers to dis Eerse such combinations ? Evidently he as not. Apparently he does not mean: to. He has issued his proclamation, .we. are told on Republican authority, from his headquarters, Columbia, '"with- the intention, if the organizations do not disband at once, of proclaiming the State to be in a condition of domestic violence, and informing President Grant of that fact, and calling upon him for military "aid." We' '-warn the'republican leaders that Mr. Chamberlain is drawing them toward apit-fall which may prove fatal to them. He is evidently an unscrupulous' man. . Alt his recent, actions have shown that he does not want to keep the State in peace, but that he means to have tur? moil. When the excitement incident to the election had' gone to a certain pitch, ? the Governor, whose most important duty as conservator of the peace was to remain in the State, coolly left it for a tour in :New England. On his.return he stopped in -Washington, and from there issued re? ports, since proved false, of violence done to negroes in South Carolina and of a dreadful condition of lawlessness. Mean? time there is evidence that negroes in different parts of the State have banded together for .lawless purposes; but the Governor takes no notice of this.. And now his assertion that there are in.some. Sarts of the State armed organizations' efying and obstructing the laws is at once and flatly contradicted by a number of Republicans, among them three Judges of the Supreme Court of the State. One of these remarks: "I have seen no vio? lence; On the contrary; so far as I have had intercourse with' gentlemen of your party, I have observed less disposition to excited statement and personal bitterness than during any of the previous political campaigns of this State! I sincerely hope that the fears of many, that the lawless portion of the community will be per? mitted to disturb; the peace and-injure the good name of the State, are ground? less. I am satisfied that it is the inten? tion of the leading members of your party to prevent such a s t?te., of th i n gs,. and I believe they have the ability to do so.." Another, Judge Macxey, also well known as a Republican, relates some facts Which should show Northern Republicans what is the animus of Chamberlain, and how he is conducting the election. He shows that the Governor, himself a candidate for re-election, has obtained "a Board of State Canvassers, or Election Returning Board, the majority of whose members are .candidates on Chamberlain's ticket, and by ninety-six Commissioners of Elec? tion 1 in the several counties, seventy of 1 whom are Chamberlain's declared-parti* Isans, and of which last number;, some forty. are County Treasurers and Auditors or Trial Justices, holding lucrative offices by his appointment, and removable from office at his pleasure, or are known to him, as declared candidates;for office: en? dorsing his ticket, who,- unseat them: selves if they make a declaration of the election which seats the candidates op? posed to Chamberlain and his ticket." Here is evidence enough to justify the 1 assertion of Judge Mapkey. that Cham? berlain ia really engagedr in a conspiracy, agjilhst the State'.' f Is it not a monstrous, and-dangerou? streich of powerto so ihn^ atitute the electoral returning board and the body of commissioners of election' that the majority of these persons are in fact to decide upon their own cases?

JUDGE COOKE AT CAM DES. He Excoriates 'Chamberlain, and gives Facts and Figures. * Comden Correspond crux of the Nevt cndCttiricr. After a humorous introduction, Judge Cooko commenced on Governor Cham? berlain. Chamberlain would not accept Hampton's invitation, because, as he had told the speaker himself, he was afraid that if the colored people came to Demo? cratic meetings they would hear the truth and be converted. He charged Chamberlain with recommending the purchase of Hell Hole Swamp for $175, 000, not worth over $10,000. The speaker next attacked the Land Commis? sion. Chamberlain, "Parker and Neagle stole all the difference between $180,000 and $200,000 appropriated for lands for the homeless. He received $30,000 for aiding the phosphate bill. He (in 1871) added $1,000,000 (after being scaled by fifty' cents on the dollar) to the public debt of South Carolina. Chamberlain would not allow Scott to prosecute the Land Commissioners, because the people who owned the lands were rebels. AH the bonds issued during Scott's adminis? tration were issued by advice of Cham? berlain. The Land; Commissioner spent $800,000, when, the.' acts only permitted $700,000. Chamberlain advised that the Land Commission could use the money in the treasury. Chamberlain had not reduced the tares as claimed. In Scott's . administration the taxes averaged 9$ 'mills: The next four years the taxes averaged 12 mills. Of these, two yean belonged to ? the administration of Gor* ernor Chamberlain. Cardozo first filled his pockets and then retired. Scott had i nothing to do with it. I Chamberlain's reforms are Scott's. Without Democrats he could not have I effected a single reform measure. Cham? berlain recently bnug^htfor.$6;<K)0, cf. ex Treasurer Parker; alt the papers which implicated Chamberlain. But, before delivering them op,,Parker took photo? graphic copies (ot .every one of-,those Sapers. Chamberlain procured Puffer's iscbarge as receiver, by Which the State lost $100,000 of funds of the Bank of the State. ,$30,QOO .were taken out. of that fiind aha spent by Chamberlain to elect himself Governor. . He produced the cancellation of Puffer's bond with D. H. Chamberlain's name upon it, and wished Chamberlain were here to listen. " Chamberlain received a large sum of money ($3,000) to bribe a Judge of the Supreme Court. He put the money in ' his pocket, and never paid the note. He atte rap ted to bribe one of the Judges of the Supreme Court.1 Chamberlain really was responsible for the election of Moses i and Whipper. He left Columbia know? ing .that these men were to. be elected. I ? Ch?mberlain, too;' urged Democrats. to I organize and to arm themsel ves. ? Cham - berlain is responsible for the Hamburg affair, on account of the character of the appointees of , bis officers at Hamburg. His proclamation shows that he has given up the contest, unless h~ft expects to fill this entire State Withj armed soldiery. But if he did you would stil? vote for Wade Hampton, His proclamation is without warrant: of |brce or of law. Chamberlain was a direct lineal descen? dant of the thief upon the cross. If Hampton's soul could be placed inside of Chamberlain's body one of the two ro-o suite would inevitably follow: either Hampton's soul would freeze up, (which could never happen,) or Chamberlain's ody* would be bunted. "? Chamberlain was asleep-in the.can [ while the Combahee riot was going on. Judge: Mackey woke him up. He said: " Wake up.. Go back to Columbia. Pro? tect; .the . colored people." "Ob, no," said Chamberlain, "I must go North for myfemily." '.; Chamberlain was like the Irishman's horse. He had two good' qualities. ?When he.started - all hell couldn't catch him, and when yon caught him he wasn't worth a damn. Chamberlain is a cow-" krd.
