A disturbance occurred on laut Mon

Charleston, duringa joint dbjccodon be
tween thc Radicals mid D?mocrate. Tho
meeting was called by the Republicans,
who consented to a division of time.
After the crowd^had gathered, the ne

upon the Democrats, two nf whom were
killed outright, and thirteen wounded.
Intense excitement prevailed, and it ls
evident that the affair was preconcerted

THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.
The elections which came off in Ohio,
indiana and We#t Virginia last week re
lulted as most - persons who had closely
./niched thc canvass in each of them ex
pected. Tho Republicans carried Ohio
>y from 6000 to 0000 majority, which is
:onsidernbly below what might have
eaBonnbly been expected from the State
>f Gov. Hayes, which polled about GOO,
100 votes. It would only take a change
>f about one man in every thousand, or
bree men in every two thousand, voters
o reverse this result and give tho State
o the Democrats in November. It is
noro than probable, however, that the
?t?ts viii go for Hayes Again, as it was
rirtuaUy conceded to thc Republicans by
he nominations, made by the Democracy.
Wost Virginia, which was claimed by
he Republicans beforo the election and
- Inch went for Grant in 1872, has elected
d^i&tiews Governor, by 10,000 majority,
od is therefore a certain Dein oe ratio
State.
Indiana ls another 8tato which was
ou?ted by tho Republicans, as it gave
?rant a majority in 1872 of 24,000, and
? the home of Morton, the celebrated
loody shirt senator. The Dem?crata
ave aU along counted tho State apon

the matter I deem lt nyy duty to reply as

selves between now and Friday.
Yours respectfully,
O. D. WILLIAMS,
County Chairman.
It is now perfectly evident to ns that
tho Republicans do not intend to grant
a Joint discussion, and it is equally evident
that their Chairman does not intend to keep
his word. This is not to bc wondered at,
for we could not expect thu man who pub
licly announced in a s?>ecch that he "did not
want principles but men," to have any very
great regard for bis ?-ord. We ho|>c all the
mounted club; in the County will bc
present, for wo will have distinguished
speakers from a distance to meet the Repub
licans, and if they will not divide time w?
can bc present and hear their campaign Hos
in order to be able to refute them. Thc Re
publicans must not bo allowed to have meet
ings without the Democrats attending them
to hear, even if they oro not allowed to
answer their villainous falsehoods in reply.
Our colored men are too sensible, we hope,
to <e deceived by pien who are so conscious
of their own Infamy that they do not dare
to faco their opponents In joint meetings lie
fore thc people-,
Aa Humble and Christian Letter from
Cien. Butler to Gov, Chamberlain.
Qqv, D. H. Chamberlain, Columbia, 8. C. :
Your proclamation, pronunciantento,
manifesto, ukase, fulmination, or what
ever else it may ba termed, has been duly
received and "contents noted." I am
happy to inform you that we hare but
one rifle club of white men in Edgcfield
County, and that exists under and by
virtue of chartered rights granted by the
Legislature and approved by the Govern
or; and if by virtue o' your authority ?us
commnnde?-in-chief of the military forces
of the State, you order them to disband,
why of course they will have to "squan
der" 'and ground their arma, and will I
Kresumo reorganizo, without arma, as a
?emoeratio club, and call their officers,
president, vice president, wardens, ?Sec.,
&n., instead of their high sounding, rebel?
liol a, mili tf . y titles.
We have thirty odd Democratic clubs
in this county, organized of course to de
feat your, election and the election of
"your people ;" and I am happy to bo the
medium of SSBOOSO?SS IO you, that here
after they propose to abandon tho "rebol
yell" which appears to ahock your imagi
nation so horribly, and I am requested by
thc club*, (Democratic clubs, 1 mean) to
invoke your permission and gracious dis
pensation to allow them to indulge occa
sionally in a good square Democratic
"holler/? instead of tho ''rebel yell." The
latter, you know, is performed by each
fellow "hollerin" on his own hook, and
it does sound s little provoking to sensi
tive ears ; but the Democratic "holler" is
done by system, and no man is allowed
to "holier" out of time, which makes it
smoother, you know, and not BO grating.
I trust that , you will see fit to procl?
mate on this subject, and grant us this
innocent privileges.
It gives me much pleasure to inform
voil also-thai the fellow whose pistol
"clicked" at you when you were hero on
the 12th' August, with Judge Mackey,
pa? been disbanded in obedience to yonr
fulmination (or proclamation, I should
bare sahl I beg pardon.) and has been
inrx?tincntly ? suppressed, and Smith <k
Wesson, herb co modified their original
pattern, os that they don't "click" worth
? cent ir?; ?be h obiter, but only "click"
now when itbey are drawn, cocked and
ready for action. This information will,
( know, be gratifying to your Excellency,
?nd save you the trouble of another pro

1870, arrived in thU city to-day, and I
interviewed him on the situation. Ile
bas been connected with thc Republican

of this State and vice president of the
National Association War Veterans. It

CHAMBERLAIN'S PROCLAMATION.
Ho says the proclamation of Governor
Chamberlain, of the 7'.h inst., which vir
tually declares thc white population of
this State in armed insurrection against
the laws, challenges the indignation of
every citizen in South Carolina who is
aware of the real facts and has any re
gard for truth and justice. There have
been, no doubt, acts of violence, resulting
ia law of life in Aiken and Darn well,
which demand that t-he severest penalties
of the !;w should be enforced against
guilty parties.
VTORK OK REPUBLICA* KA NJ fl EBB.
But theme ucts arc not justly attributa
ble to any determined plan on the part
of tho whites, but were the result of
armed collisions, which, in my judgment,
have been premeditated by tue present
republican managers of Gov. Chamber
lain's canvass. At least this in the case
to the extent that the pauaions of the
blacks have been designedly aroused
against the whites in those sections to
the extent of inciting them to assail
white citizens or to refuse obedience to
proccfls of thc courts where the complain
ant is white and thc offender colored.
Thc schema ba? borne bloody fruits, and
doubtless acts of personal vengeance were
inflicted hy v lute..' on blacks after an
actual conflict lind c?naed in retaliation
for losses suffered during the collision'
Four days before thc riob? referWy <&
in the Governor's nroclamatiorj' Copi1
menccd, I was lcd to Believe, from Itit?Y
mntion received and from my knowledge
of the character of thc men engaged in
thc management of Governor Chamber
lain's ennvass, that it formed a part of I
their
GENERAL POLITICAL PLOT
that armed collisions with the blacks
should be forced on the whites, thus sup
plying raw material oat of which they
would manufacture the bloody shirt to
wave before the eyes of thc country as a
truo emblem of the South Carolina De
mocracy, with the view to influence the
result of thc elections pending in Ohio
and Indiana, and thereby the election of |
Hayes and Wheeler, thc candidates
which I have supported throughout my
canvass in this State. To avert the exe
cution of this sanguinary scheme I called
upon the chairman of the Democratic
State Executive Committee, nt Columbia,
and, in presence of Colonel James A.
Hoyt and Judge T. H. Cooke, urged the
withdrawal of the Tilden and Hendricks i
electors, to prevent the negro from being
sacrificed to what I thought the Republi
can leaders deemed thc supreme political
necessity of firing the Northern heart in
the interests of Hayes and Wheeler. I
I then and there stated the programme,
which appear* tnnie to have been execu
ted, and "which has culminated in the
proclamation of the Governor to which I
have roforred. The negro appears, by
nomo fatality, to be the
M A RT YU OF THE A M Kl: IC AN SYSTEM,
and the balance of humanity certainly
appears, so far as he is concerned, to be
on thc side of those whites with whom he
has been associated from carly lifo, and
who are disposed to view him, even in
his fiercest mood, more iu sorrow than in
anger.
A distinguished writer upon the game
of whist has stated, "When in doubt play
a trump." The carpet-bagger's code ia,
"If the Northern interest in the campaign
flags have n negro killed." And thus the
ardent and pushing blacks are thrown
perpetually by their leaders, like living
cannon balls, against the solid column of |
the whites, and the negro is invariably
broken by the impact. Indeed, the war
itself furnished an illustration of the dif
ference between the views of Southern
and Northern men in utilizing the negro.
Thc Southern white man advanced far to
the front to save the negro, while the
North sometimes sent tho negro far to the
front to save the white man. Governor
Chamberlain is thoroughly familiar with
the best mode of utilizing bim in a polit
ical canvass, and understands how to serve
him up as a first class horror.
THE REPUBLICAS PROCESSION.
One of the most remarkable instances
>f the mendacity of the age is contained
in the statement of the Republican State

' "Foremostamong the towra uC Va

demonstrations and work of thia cam
paign/ Indeed, no community ha? en
tered upon the paramount duties before
the people of the State with aucb zealous
and patriotic determination as the people
of thia place have evinced in their ex
tensive preparations for, and their active
endeavors to carry out successfully the
grand torchlight procession and cam
paign meeting on Thursday night and
Friday last. The least we can say of the
affair is, that it WM a aucceas beyond the
expectations of the most sanguine.
At sunset Thursday evening, mounted
companies began to file in from oil quar
ters and repair to northern end of town,
near the residence of Prof. Lee, the point
of rendezvous. At half-post seven every
house was brilliantly illuminated, and at
eifeht thc procession started, beaded by
thc Du? West Cornet Band, and brought
i up by the Abbeville Cornet Bond. Thu
-vast concourse, extending along Main
?treet for about three-quarters of a mile,
after winding through several afreets,
entered Erskine College Campus on tho
west side, and surrounded the stand and
seats occupied by pensons already assem
bled, of whom a large number were la
dies.
Judge Cooke, who was present, was
.then introduced byi Prof. Wm. ri cod,
and responded ?o the clamors of the
I crowd- in sn eloquent and forcible maa
li ner. Se stated that be did not know
[What part it was his part to play in thia
catttpwfgov Tkat the duties of tho other
speakers who were stumping the State
were Jefined and understood. General
Hampton bad gone before laying the
platform of principles for the Democra
cy; Simpson had followed explaining
the philosophy, and Conner explaining
the law of it, and that bia fritad herc,
Gen. McGowan, comes along, slashes in
and playa the d-1 generally. One* thing,
however, was certain, that every manama
woman in tba State had an i m port oat
work to do in this campaign, and if tbsy
exercise the diligence and determination
which they should until the sun of tho
7th of November set?, it would set upon
a people once more and forever free.
This large assemblage of "fair women
and brave men" argued to his mind that
the people of this State mean to shake
off the tyranny which bas long oppressed
them. The Judges speecb treated, for
the most part, the character, history t?nd
i conduct of Gov. Chamberlain, whom he
treated to as good a dose of scathing de
nunciation as we have heard. In giving
a history of this Northern adventurer, he
; said be bad come to the conclusion, after
long deliberation upon the mystery of
?s origin, thai, he was a iineai descend
ant of the unrepenting thief on the cross,
und that he bad been bern paralyzed on
his moraleide. He charged the Governor
with nearly every crime in the category,
in proof of which he cited his various
arbitrary acts. He said Chamberlain had
slandered-the people of the State in tele
graphing to Washington that they were
au armed camp, and that the round-head
and Cavalier were in peril; nod that
since reading bis proclamation ho had
begun to feel that truly the round-head
and Cavalier are in peril. . He pro
nounced bis proclamation the vilest and
Bi?it outrageous piece of conduct he oves
knew.
Gen. McGowan was then introduced,
but heal spoken only a short time before
it began to rain, and the crowd were
dispersed.
At an early hour Friday morning il
was evident from the thronging of the
streets tbat tbe people of thc country
arouud were fully aweke to the i m por
tance of these demonstrations. Company
after company. of mounted. men coming
in from various direction? repaired to the
the spot from which the procession bad
started the evening previous, and at ter
o'clock foamed in procession os follows:

? prior to (be 4th to extsnd the cnn
i on our side. But yesterday old Wil
'.-.'? m?burg woke up ?nd shook herself,
and greeted Hampton and hi* colleagues
with shouts of welcome from four thou
ra nd throats. White and black walked
side by side in the long procession that
did him honor. Tbe speaking lasted
from 1 to fi o'clock, and the immense
concourse were orderly and attentive
throughout. Good sound speeches,
words of soberness and troth were spoken
by Hampton, Simpson, J. 6. Richardson,
E. W. Moise and M. P. O'Connor. The
colored people were all delighted with
Hampton, and said : "That man knows
what be talking 'bout-he tell de truth,
bim in earnest for sure."
E. W. Moise hos a tremendous stock of
apropos anecdotes, and knows just when
and where to use them. His speech will
be good, because the stories will bc re
membered and carry their own applica
tion with them.
J. S. Richardson,, oar candidate for
Congress, made a tel hog speech, and one
little incident related by him bas been
the cause of tho converjo? of severat
negroes to the support of Hampton, and
is talked about all over the country by
those who heard. He mentioned a case
with which many present were familiar.
! Before the war a negro boy ran away,
was caught and whipped to death by bis
owner and another white man. They
were arrested by a Democratic sheriiT,
tried before a Democratic judge, by a
Democratic jury, the cane waa prosecuted
by a Democratic solicitor. They were
found guilty of murder and sentenced to
be bung, iking rich they applied for a
ner trial, a Democratic Supreme Court
refuged it. They applied for a pardon to
the Democratic Governor (Manning),
who said his duty was to protect the
helpless, and they were hung. "Now,"
said Richardson, "when did you ever
hear under Republican ride of a white
man being hung for killing a negro?"
"Never-not one," was tho answer. He
then assured them that Hampton os Gov
ernor would ensure justice to all.
At night wo had speeches from Mr.
Moise and several colored mea.
It was a field day. The ladies wero
out to cm i lo upon this effort to redeem
our home; men, both white and black,
were there with earnest faces, giving
attentive heed to the things that were
spoken,
The Washington Artillery had a gun
and squad of men here. They fired
about fifty salutes, a d every - timo the
cannon spoke another convert was made
for Hampton and Reform.
Tho Rads., under Swalls, declined a
joint disc .u-iion-they knew better than
to expose themselves to the keen argu

New York, October V2th, 1876. I
THE OCTOBER TRIUMPH.
The conclusive newd of the great victo- j
ry in Indiana has inspired the Democracy ]
here with the wildest enthusiasm. Never \
was a political success won against more 1
fearful odds, and when ona contemplates
the enormous concentration of radical
power and corruption In that : ingle State, |
it Seems almost a miracle that the simple t
virtue of the people, set in their resolve for 1
reform and purification of prblic affuirs, j
should have triumphed. Williams' elec- (
lion is a trophy not merely for the Dem- t
Dcrutic party, but for popular government, 1
because it shows that all the enginery of *
wealth and power is impotent against the
determination of a free and virtuous peo
ple. The few may (be corrupted, hut the
many cannot be. ' They may for a
time be deceived by bad men, but when
the people are once enlightened as tc c{
their real character, the untrustworthy f
are driven from . power by. the sharp t
scourge of popular suffrage. \

WIIEEL.EB ON THE DEFENSIVE.
Thc Times and Tribune published to.
day ari extraordinary defense or apology
for William A. Wheeler in his black
mailing operation in the matter of the
Ogdensburgh and Champlain railroad.
The apology does not deny a single alle
gation of the charge, and only states with
much parade of words, some facts entire
ly Irrelevant to the issue, and which were
stated also when the charge was made.
The charge ls not answered, but shirked.
The allegation was not that William A.
Wheeler acted without cover of forms of
law, but that he abused the forms of law
to levy blackmail, and that the very law
which he made use of to force ?159,000.00
out of the stockholders, of which $20,
000.00, went directly to his own pocket,
was drawn by him and passed by nis per
sonal exertions for that purpose, and had
no other force or effect whntcver than to
compel the stockholders to submit to the
legalized plunder. Thia ia the charge.
It baa not been met, and cannot be. It
is useless for Wheeler to try to dodge thc
question. He ought to know that tim is
a very bad year to attempt to throw dust
in the eyes of thc people.
Governor Chamberlain Applies for
Troops-Martial Law Possible.
WASHINGTON, October 13, 1876.
Tue written application of Governor
Chamberlain for troops to aid him in en
forcing the law as the Ch^Magistrate of
the State of South Carolina* arrived herc
to-day, nud was placed before tbvrauthor
ities with all the prestige which th* de le
gation of notable South Carolina Federal
officials now in Washington, headed by
Senator Patterson, could give it. The
answer of the Secretary of War, after
consultation, was that ne should await
tbe return of thc President, which is ex
pected to-morrow, when action will, it is
supposed be taken with energy. It will
first assume tho form of an executive pro
clamation, us usual, for the disbandment
of illegally armed bodies of men in the
??tate of South Carolina, and then subse
quent steps will, it is thought, bc Uaken
which may bring the Stute upon the verge
oi martial law.
A calm and thinking Republican of
note said to-night, without giving any
explanations, that tho President was de
termined to tako the whole responsibility
at once under the law into his own bands,
so far as concerned the preservation of a
state of affairs in the South which would
allow every man to vote os he pleased.
South Carolina will probably be the first
test ground of the problem. The Secre
tary of War is said to havo gone to Bal
timore to-night to attend to the affairs of
the Northern Central Railway, in which,
ic can forget the importunities of the
:arpet-baggers. Senator Robertson is
Uso conspicuous by bia invisibility
There in something in the South Carolina
natter which must, it seems, be left to
ho nerve of General Grant, all others
lodging.-jVeto York Herald.- ?
WASHINGTON, October 18.
The military programme in thc South
is to be carried out even more fully thau
was anticipated by its friends before, the
October elections. The despatches from
South Carolina already indicate the char
acter as well as the number of arrests to
be made. Senator Patterson has a letter
from Govern ji Chamberlain announcing
:n"a intention to declare martial law and
:nll on the administration for more troops
if the white people do not surrender then
private arms. Patterson communicated
;h?B information to the President to-day,
ind he seems willing to do anything to
lelp the cause c. Grantism by securing
he vote of two or ?bree Southern States
?br Hayes at the bayonet's point. The
Republicans are thoroughly alarmed and
viii resort to troops in any of thc States
?n?er the slightest pretext.-lYew York
World.
, Governor Chamberlain calls for more
troops, and asks for a declaration of mar
iai law in South .Carolina. There is no
.csistance . to arrest, and the ?aw is su
preme everywhere. When he says troops
ire. necessary to enable him to .make ar.
esta, he knows full well that he standers
he people of tho State, and shows an
Itter disregard for the truth.
