SENECA CITY, S. C., Oct. 6, 1876.
Editor? Intelligencer ; A friend called
inj attention to a letter in your paper,,
copied from a Minnesota paper, but
written by a Northern man from Wal
halls, which is so well calculated to de
ceive thc readers of that paper that I
have faked1 the 'liberty tb write to its
editor to set the matter right, for no ulan
knowB better than myself that there is
ecarcoly a grain of trutli in the whole
letter. I made the acquaintance of the
writer when he came here, took him to
my house, and had ample opportunity lo
form an opinion of thc man. He was
one of those honest, well-meaning sort of
people ^hat we often meet, who have a
happy faculty of making themselves dis
agreeable whenever an opportunity pre
sents itself. At the North we call them
fanatics; at the South they are fire
eaters. If you agree with them you are
an honest man, if you don't you are n
thief; and they are a "class that'often
have the opportunity to do much hann.
He was going to the mountains "of
Western North Carolina where flattering
prospects hud been held out to him ; but
he was disappointed in his expectations,
bcenine homesick, and possibly out ol
money, and in that frame of mind he
wrote that letter to "fire the Northern
heaii,"' and I regret'thkt it haa bidn
used for that purpose. Now, I am a
. Northern man, and have lived sir yeari
at the South, am a good Republican-nc
man goes before me in his devotion tc
the party, nnd I defend it and advocate
its principles whenever tho opportunity
pr?sents itself-and | v-an/lp no l?.i thar
say that no man has ever offered me ar
insult or spoken an unkind word to mi
iii nil these years. I have everywhen
been treated/with the greatest cp.rjsiclcra
tions, often greater than I deserved; ]
have never heard a threat, nor li ave '
ever thought my life or property ani
more unsafe than it would be in Massa
ch use tts. ? I came here to make a hon ie

at this moment in possession of authentic

assert, upon my fuji official and personal

present at the scenes of violence and

The Hon. D. T. Corbin, United State*
District Attorney for the State, who has
Sersoually made a separate and indepen
ent investigation or tho Ellenton riot,
furnishes me with the following state
ment of the results reached by him ; a
statement, as will be seen, more than
verifying my statement? and vindicating
my action. Of the lour judges whose
statements are presented by the official
representatives of the Democratic party
as impeaching my statements/ not one
professes to have any knowledge of the
facts stated by me, and of the two Repub
lican judges, Judge Moses disclaims any
such kuowledge, and Judgo W'iard
states that he has been absent from the
State for the pa?t three months. All.the
evidence in iny: hands "and In the banda
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 provo a
condition of affairs in this State produced
by the Democratic party more disgraceful
than any statement yet made by me, and
I shall not stay my hand until punish

COLUMBIA, October 9,1876.

DEA n SIB-You huving aafc?d'of me a
statement of the general condition of
affairs in Aiken County aa I found them
to be io my vi?it during the past week, I
have the honor to state that I spent three
days in Aiken < and had before roe,'and
took the affidavits of, a considerable
number of citizens from different parts of
thc county. I find that rifle clubs, r
regular, military organizations, organized
substantially after the manner of military
companies in the United States ajrrny,,
exist throughout the county. The oin-'
eera of these companies are called cap
tains and lieutenants, and the subordi
nate officers are called sergeants and cor
porals. They aro all armed with, wea
pons of various patents, but many of
them pf the }ri/nt and most improved
kinds. Rifles t >d aixteen-shooters are
most common. Pistols aro universal.
These companies meet at stated intervals
for drill in the various military manou
vres. They are also subject to be called
out on any occasion by their command
ing officers.
These clubs have created and are caus
ing a perfect feign of terror. The colored
men arc, many of them, living out of
doors and uway from their bouses at
nightfall. Many of them have been
killed, and ?uany have been taken from
their beds nt night and mercilessly1
whipped, and others''have-been''hunted'
with threats of murder and whipping,'
who, thus far, by constant watclnuln?ss
and activity, have escaped. The White
men of these clubs aro riding day and
night, and the colored men are informed
that their only safety from death orwhip-;
ping l es in their siguihg an hgre'ement"
pledging themselves to vote 'tho*Dirnt*
eratic ticket in the coming election.
From the best information I could
obtain in the time I whs in Aiken, I fix
the number of colored raeu killed :n this
county alone by white men of these clubs,
during thc past three weeks, at thirteen
certainly, and at probably tweniy-nvp or
thirty. The civil arra of the government
in this county is aa powerless a? the wind
to prevent these atrocities. The sheriff
of thc county, if disposed, dare not at
tempt to arrest the perpetrators of these
crimes for'fear of his owu llf?'being
taken. He-did not, aa I am cretliblV im
formed, go within ?even- miles ;?? ?tito?
eight hundred men, so estimated .by
United States Army officers who saw them
assembled under the command of A. P.
Butler, near Rouse's Bridge, and murchs
lng upon n crowd of colored men there,
whom they had sur rounded abd intended,
as seores of them allege,'to kill.
In ' conclusion, ? have only to say that j
the.condition of affiiir? in Aiken j Co MO.ty

MY DEAR SI? : Your note of this date
is before me, asking an expression of my
views to the existence of rancor and man
ifestations of violence in the character of I
the Democratic canvass of this State.
-I am unable to throw, much light on I
this subject for two reasons. lu thc first
place, I have been absent front tito State
for the last three months, and only a
week has passed since my return tr. the 1
city, in the cecond; pisco,-my idemvof I
the character and responsibilities of tho
judicial office have led me nt all times to
abstain from participating in political
action, and accordingly I have little in
form?t ian except that derived from public
rumor and Uie newspapers^ of what has.
transpired at political gatherings!
I cart only saV that I have witnessed
nothing beyond the circumstances goner-,
olly chat acteristic of au excited political
canvass, I haye eeen.no violence; on,
tho contrary, so far as l have had inter-:
cours?': Wrth gefatl?rt?cn bf your ' party, I:
have observed less disposition to excited
statement and pentond hjtternes* 'thsn:1

I sincerely hop'e'tliat the fears bf many
thct the lawless portion of th? commu

Seuce and injure the good name of the

it is the intention of the leading mem

aui not,aware of any resifttnnco to the
frocc??.z of.tbo.court in thia county where
have been' holding 'court for a week.
Unusual quiet prevails. There seems to
be a public apprehension that the times
are out of joint, and a general anxiety
that public order should be preserved.
Speaking for this circuit I can only Bay
that while the public mind is of course
inflamed by the ardor cf tho campaign, I
have not yet been confronted by any
organieed or individual r?sistance to the
authority o-f the courts. The good sense
of tho people will continue to preserve
the public peace.

THE NEXT. PATtTV.
OCTOBBB 2, 1876.
We are told that it ia always probable
that improbable things, will happen.
Certain it I? that I heap whisperings in
tho South, and not ao very soft, either, to
tho effect that tho next party to disturb
politics and distribu?e patronage will
arise io the North, and have for its corner
stone tho disfranchisement of tho blacks.
Wade Hampton, the king white man of
South Carolina, says that it will require
the united effort of thc South to main
tain negro, suffrage in tho future I He
predicts that a powerful party will arise
ip the North, demanding the disfranchise
ment of tho negroes, because their" .en
franchisement ii giving such political
power to tho South that she will soon
control ' the National government. He
thinks this will bo tho next great battle,
and that thc Southern white men must
defend black suffrage with all their night,
for ff 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 tho aid of Now Ycrk, Con
necticut and Califcrnin, for instance, thoy
can control legislation, elect tho Presi
dent and administer tho government ma
chine as they may'seo fit. The rest of
the United States can whistle. Thesolid
South and the three States named will
be the government in all that the term
applies.
Tho North will not relish this. Indeed,
there are signs that they do not relish the
prospect now, nud hence thc very great
effort to hold New York to the Republi
can party. Tho far-seeing mon in the
South, or those who are esteemed os far
seeing, declaro 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 tho country, tho North con
tending for black disfranchisement, ' in
order to keep tho South from running the
government.
It is plain, very plain, that the blacks
will bo made subservient to the whites in
cvory Southern State, and that so far
from enabling the North to hold the gov
ernment, this enfranchisement is-having
grecisely tho opposite effect, giving the
outb so large a number of Congressmen
and electoral votes that this section will
virtually hereafter bethe ruling power at
Washington.
Look at Georgia. The white popula
tion of that State is but little in excess
of double tho population of Cincinnati,
yet Georgia has nine Democratic Con
gressmen: two Democratic Senators and
eleven electoral votes I I A population
but little above twice that of Cincinnati
has all these, and throws 'thom in a solid
lump, in the interests of the solid South.
So for as the blacks ot the State, are con
cerned, thoy have no more voice in tile
.National government than so many black
stumps. Tho fsct that every Senator and
member of Congress from Georgia is a
Democrat-and not only a Democrat, but
a Smthern Democrat-a Georgia-born
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 aa easy to control one os
the other, and consequently aro perfectly
well satisfied with negro suffrage, ns it
gives thom nine Congressmen ana 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 ha the years roll around.
AtfOTHEB .CHEEUFUI. ?vX AUTX.K.
Look..at South Carolina.* - Tho white
population of. that State is now almost
precisely the same as Cincinnati. Yet
thia white minority will surely control
the blacks hereafter, and throw the soten
electoral votes ?with the solid South.
They will yet have hil the Congressmcu
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 tbs sun shines when
this agency is without opposition, except
from too negroes-^ race that have never
beeb able to stityd'out'aga?hsfi tho whites
in any particular for any length of time.
Diafranchise the biaoKs ona reduce the
representation down to the w uite popula
tion, and 8outh Carolina would bave two
Congressmen ,Instead ot' five? and four
electoral votes instead pf seven. And

Please read what General Bampton
said ia his speech there to Che blades. It
is right to th- -point. Speaking of tho
fact th*t he .7..1 an early advocate of
negro suffrage, because it would give toe
South much power, he says:
"Why dla I recommend that you be
permitted to vote? There are 800,000
colored voters in the South. They add
ta tho power and strength of the South.
We have more voters in the Prcaldrotlal
contest, and we. have more Benrticata
lives in Congress. Why should ~c ff/uu
to cut off one-third of our votes T .Of
ccur-e wo should desire to keep- them.
SVe know that if the time has not come,
that it will como and must come, when
blacka and whites in .he Southern States
will como together.'' . ? ? ; /
, That Is, all vote, tho Democratic ticket,
and make a solid South. Ko continues:
"Wo would be, indeed, fools to desire,
with 800,009. colored Ttea *nc? 1,600,000
white votes, to cut off one-third of ou.- ;
strength. The Nortr. saw lt, and hence
thc Mortons add Andrews opposed thu
move to allow the colored people rotc?.
I was the first man in the South who ad
vocated that <measure, and I have never
gone back on it. You will alt har? to
corte together, and I have been waiting
for tho time, and it is not far distant now,
when all thc colored people will be ready
to .'jine the cavalry.'" [Applauseand
laughter.J
. Do you see the point? He has cer
tainty made it very plain.
Speaking sf the fact that he was the
very first white man in South Carolina
to advocate negro suffrage, be says :
_ "I made the proposition at several pub
lic meetings in Cotumbi;'., and I took tho
ground that they bad been made citieons.
and that they should not be excluded
from the right to vote. And I recom
mended then, (and aXFhat timo none but
whited bad the righVtd Vote/I'Twhom
your leaders tell'you am a rebel, thai I
am an unreconstructed fire-eater, they
will tell you ina Lord only knows -.vbat
about mo, and yet I repeat that I was the
first man in South Carolina who recom
mended that tho right to voto should be
?i ven to the colored people. (Applause.}
lo to Nosh, Edwards and others, and ask
them if what I have told you is not true.
When I waa taking that ground in South
?parolina, Governor Morton, your, choice
or the Presidency t the mat who. waving
tho bloody shirt and diggtug^to tho
very graves of our dead, modo speeches
at the North, in which he said your peor
pie were not fit to vote, and recommonded
that the franchise should not be granted
them for twunty years. I have the speech
of Governor Morton, and any of you can
seo it if you wish. My speeches were
ulso published, and you eau see them ?
you desire. Governor Andrew, abu) ari
other of your Republicen fricada, took
the same ground aa Morton, and I have
bis speech also. These are facts thal
cannot bc disputed. They are printed

chives of Massachusetts and of Cor ?reas
These ore the men who profess now to bi
your warmest friends-there men wh<
would have put their feet upon your lib
ertiea for all time."
He was in favor of black suffrage, be
cause it would give tho South a prepon
derating weight in National affaira. >
At the same time, Morton, in Indiana
made a very clear nn? argumentativ
speech against ne^ro suffrage, copies c
which Hampton reads' to his black audi
tors, and distributes among them for the!
?dification. .
It is now in order for some reformei
.who thinks the Sooth is occupying to
much space in affairs, to start a part
having for its. cardinal principle th
graceful taking of tile negro out of poli
tics by way of m counter-acting coristitu
tiona! amendment. But you may bb sar
no Tilden reformer will start such a pat
ty.! They havo got too good a thing c
iL If the Democracy capture thu Natio
it will bo through the preponderottn
weight which negro suffrage'bos' give
the solid South. They virtually -have
girt of the representation arisingifroi
eight hundred thousand votes1' 'to? begi
with. This, of itself, is a fair ?tart to
ward Washington. ?

Another, Judge Mackey, abm'well known

that tbe Governor, himself a candidate

After a humorous introduction, Judge
Donlc?- commenced on Governor Cham?
bsrlain. Chamberlain would not accept
Hampton's invitation, because, aa he bad
told the speaker himself, he waa afraid
that if the colored people came to Demo
Eratic meetings they would hear the
truth and . be converted. He charged
Chamberlain with recommending the.
purchase nf Hell Hole Swamp for 3176V
DOO, not worth over $1.0,000. . Tho
.peaker next attacked tho Lan i Commis
sion. CliamberlainpP?rker. and Neagle
stole all the difference between 9180,000
ind $200,000 appropriated for landa for
the homeless, rle received $30,000 for
aiding thc phosphate bill. He (in 1871)
added $1,000,000 (after being scaled by
ll ft y cents on tho 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. AU
the bonds issued during Scott's adminis
tration .ware issued by advice of Cham
berlain. The Land Commissioner spent
?800,000, when tho. acts only permuted
1700.000. Chamberlain advised that the
Land Commission could use the money
ic the. treasury. Chamberlain bad sot
reduced the taxes as claimed. In Scott's
administration tho taxes averaged. 9}
milla: The next four years the taxes
averaged 12 mills. Of these, * wo years
belonged to tho administration of Gov
ernor Chamberlain, Cnrd?zo first filled
nts pocket* and then retired. Scott had
nothing to do with it.
Chamberlain's: I reforms are Scott's.
Without Democrats he could not have
effected a single reform measure. Cham
berlain recently bought for Jf5,000, of ex
Treasurer Parker, ?ll the papers which
implicated Chamberlain. But,'before
delivering them MU, ,Parker took pboto
Kraohic C???ca. Of .ftS-ftTT on? nf. tlinna
papers. Cfiambcrlalh' p'roeurcd Tuner's
d?achorg? aa receiver, by Which the 8tate
lost $100,000 .of Clinda of ths Bank of the
State. ,$50,000; .were taken ont . of that
fund and spent hy Chamberlain to elect
himself Governor. Ho produced the
cancellation of Puftr'a bond with D. H.
Chamberlain's ?aue upon it, and wished
Chamberlain were boro to listen.
Chamberlain received a burge aunt of
money ($8,000) to bribe a Judge of the
Supreme Court. He put the money in
his pocked and never paid tho note? He
attempted io bribe ono of tho Judges of
the Supreme Court. Chamberlain really
was responsible for tho election of Moses
and Whipper. He left Columbloknow
iug .that these men were to bo elected.
Chrtto'brJrlain, too;' urged Democrats? to
org-.mizo and to arm thcmiclve3.' Cham
berlain i? a?sponalble for the Himburg
affair, ca account of.the character of the
appoint?es of hts ofilcern at Hamburg,
His proclamation shows that ho has given
Up the contest, ur^eas?aexn^hi to fill
this entire State wita ' iraca 's?ld?ory.
But if ho did you would still vote for
Wade Hamptou. His proclamation ia'
without vrarran,? of force or of law.
Chamberlain was a direct lta?al descen
dant of'tbi thief upon the cross. If
Hampton's soul could be placed inside
of ChamberiauYn body one of the ?wo re- ..'
fe?4* ^ i?? .foltow.s, ?Ith?
Hampton s soul would freeae up, (which
r?ti?? nov?*;,Wrtpi?) or Ch^herlala's
body would be DUreted.
.Chamberlain waa asleep,in the,cara
wbilf the Obnibaheo riot waa going on.
Judge:Mackey-woke him ap. He said:
"W?e*ix>; wGo back tnColuinbhjL Pso*

said Chamberlain, '1 must go North for.
my T?mlly."
Chamberlain was Uko the''lyman's
