C/, October 29;' Since leaving New" Jersey, eight or ten days ago, I .?avetlargeJly.rOccupied my time with those districts of South Caro? lina declared by the President of the United States to be in an insurrectinary condition.. .. I. have also spent several days at this place. ' My object has been to obtain the facts,, as far as possible, and to this, end I have obtained interviews with the lead? ing men of both political parties. Among these persons I have seen and conversed with public men from Charles? ton, Columbia, Aiken, Camden and EdgefieloV* These places are centres of population alleged to be especially vio? lent and insurrectionary. Of them, one and all, I can. say that no village popula? tion of New Jersey is more quiet of peace? ful ; and, with a single exception, arising from causes non-poutical, none of these districts have been disturbed. Their civil officers, town and county, mostly .Republicans, assert that there has been no time within Gbv. Chamberlain's ad? ministration that they conld not execute the laws without assistance from without. ? Let me enforce this striking assertion. South Carolina: has thirty-two counties. All - of these Have Republican Sheriffs save six or seven. Immediately after the issuance of the Governor's proclamation, steps were taken to procure testimony from the civil officers of these counties as to' their insurrectionary conditions. I Jhave seen and read the sworn affidavits and attested letters coming from more than one-half of the Sheriffs of the coun? ties,.including the Sheriffs of Aiken and Bamweli?the only counties named in the proclamation as. ?being insurrec? tion?, ry? "32very one of-these?s\*orn state? ment in substance declares that within these counties there has been no resist? ance to judicial process, no unlawful ob? structions, combinations, or assemblages of persons contrary to law. The facts stated by these civil officers; the Governor's own deputies in the sev? eral- counties, have been repeatedly brought to his attention, but elicit no response or change of action. . In order to Afford to the Governor no pretext for mistaking the condition of affairs in the State, the testimony of the Judges of the Supreme and Circuit Courts of the State was had, and submitted to him. The Judges of the Supreme Court are three ; the Circuit Judges are eight in number j of these eleven officers ten are Republicans; with the exception of one Judge, who was absent, all these non political officers testified that they are acquainted with no cause that warranted the issuance of the Governor's proclama? tion, or that' of the President of the United States. In private, conversation with several of the Jndges-tfiey have assured me that the civil power, prior to the proclama? tion, had been full and ample in all the counties, and they branded the Govern? or's assertion to the contrary as a libel upon the State?a .motion of his own to secure his personal reflection to the Gov? ernorship, and thence to the United States Senate. Several of these Judges have been, until very recently, the warm personal and political friends of Mr. Chamberlain; they are all Hayes and Wheeler, men to? day ; they justly say that s?ice the in? troduction of Federal troops the civil arm of the State has been paralyzed; that men of both parties and races look to the United States troops to perform police duty, and that the action of the Governor has placed upon the President the whole responsibility of preserving the peace of the State. My observation sustains this opinion. Omitting all debate as to the original need of troops in South Carolina, the leading men of both parties are anx? ious for their retention and protecting care. Seeking information from civil officers of the Federal Government stationed in South Carolina, I conversed at great leugth with the Judge of the United States District Court for this State. He has been a Republican from the beginning, is now, and was appointed by the- Republican President, and until very recently has been a warm friend and adn)irer of Chamberlain. He said he had been astonished with the Governor's proclamation, and although his duties fed him to travel in and to know every county in South Carolina, he had not bpen made cognizant of any interruption of civil process, and bad not seen any violence/outrages or murders, nor heard of any save in the two or three instances conspicuously published to the country. As to these, the Governor had published some facts, and suppressed others vital to a just judgment. As an instance in point, the Governor had omitted to say that the Ellentorr affair had begun by the negroes endeavoring to outrage a de? fenceless white woman, and by the re? fusal of a body of negroes to surrender the culprits "to the constable's posse. Judge Bryan is now apprehensive as to the safety of the white families scattered .about the sparsely settled portions of the State He.fears that the tendency of the Governor's proclamation, and of the presence of Federal troops, will be, in the hundreds of townships where the troops will not be stationed, to give license to the base and brutal passions of the lower class of negroes. Both the Judge and myself have endorsed the urgent application of the citizens of Charleston and Beaufort to Gen. Ruger to put troops immediately in these out? lying districts. The troops are not asked for to protect voters, but defenceless women and children. ' My next interview was with Mr. Hagood, clerk of the United States Cir? cuit Court, an appointee of Judge Bond, and of course a Republican. He thought Gov. Chamberlain had not .been fairly treated by Democratic audiences and not respectfully listened to, and admitted that many prominent Republicans were now hostile to Chamberlain! He knew of no instance of recent outrage or mur? der iu all the northern tier of counties, where he resided, heretofore known as Ku. KIux counties, save those cited spe? cifically and already published. He knew Of no-reason why the civil law should not be executed at this time. Mr. Poinier, a Northern man and Re? publican United States Supervisor of Elections for South Carolina, thought Gov. Chamberlain had been badly treat? ed by the Democrats at meetings, and in? truded/ upon by them; that no personal violence had been offered, but strong E'ersohal epithets applied to him. These ad become so offensive as to cause him to practically leave the canvass. Mr. Poinier has two subordinate officers at wich polling precinct in the State. In no instance has he had request made of hinr for troops to sustain these United States officers.'" ' Aside from the disturbances conspicu? ously published heretofore, he did not know of any outrage, act of violence, or murder in the State. In addition to this concurring testimo? ny, gathered mainly from Republican sources, similar, affidavits and letters have been received from over fifty other coun? ty officials, many Trial Judges of coun? ties, clerks of countjies and of probate, and of prosecuting attorneys of couuties. I have purposely omitted a vast amount of testimony proffered by mer? chants, clergymen, lawyers, bankers and others, because it would be only repeat? ing evidence. It would be difficult to amass testimony more fully responsible and satisfactory than that now at hand and accumulating each day, showing the utter needlcssness of Gov. ChamberTain'? action and heartless disregard of facts. Touching the condition of the election I submit this statement: The Board of State Canvassers consists Of the Secretary of State, the Comp? troller-General, the Attorney-General, the Chairman of the Committee of Elec? tions of the House. Four of those offi? cers are Republicans. With them restsi the entire power of count. Of these six final canvassers four are candidates for re-election. In a word, the members of the State Board are absolutely and finally judges of their own election. The County Boards of Canvassers con? sist of three Commissioners of Election. They are appointed by the Governor. He has nominally selected two Commis? sioners from the Republican side and one from the Democracy. By public proclamation he invited the two" political committees to designate their choice. He also announced that no candidates for office would be appointed by him. The persons named by the Democratic committee have not general? ly been appointed. Of the Republican Commissioners, selected by the Governor, in nearly every instance the appointee is a Republican officeholder, or a candidate for election at the coming election ; thus they will canvass the returns of their own elections. It will be observed that the Governor appoints the Commissioners of the county, a majority Republican; they, in, turn, appoint three managers for each polling precinct, a majority Re? publican. These managers control the ballot box, count the votes, and make re? turns to the board appointing them. The reception of the votes, their count, their canvass by the County Board, and their final canvass by the State Board are al? ways and wholly within Republican con? trol. Of the power of the State, I ascer? tain as follows: Its militia is composed entirely of negroes. To them, and them alone, are State arms and ammunition given. Officers and men are Republi? cans, and Republicans only. The rifle clubs of the State are organi? zations dating far back of any political disturbances. Some of them nave exist? ed since the century began. Many of them are organized under legislative authority, and most of them have been : reviewed and personally complimented by the Governor. Though composed of I Democratic voters generally, they have not been decided political organizations. Under the order of Gov. Chamberlain, all these organizations have been disbanded though the colored troops with their arms remain in force. The State has pur? chased over half a million dollars worth of arms within seven years past. They are now wholly within the control of I negroes and their leaders. Regarding the omission of the Gov? ernor to comply with his duty to assemble the Legislature: In a great public emer? gency the Governor's power to assemble the Legislature has no restraint upon it. Republicans and Democrats admit that the members could have been convened j within three days' time, and could now. Indeed, Gov. Chamberlain himself sub? stantially admits this, but pleads that he had no money to pay the members with. Against this claim it is known that the Legislature had not convened for years except with a bankrupt treasury, and that any rate theirs would be the busi? ness of providing their own pay. It is claimed that his highest duty was to con? vene the representatives of the people, a vast majority of whom are Republicans, and that the evidence of insurrectionary measures, many state, could be best had through delegates from every legislative district; that he failed to do so because he would have had to confront the truth which debate would elicit, and that, in addition to the unfriendliness of the few Democratic members of the Legislature, he would have been met by the violent opposition of a large number of Republi? can members who are personally most hostile to him, and who threaten to ex? pose him for past questionable conduct. The Constitution of the State requires the registration of every voter. Gov. Chamberlain has been earnestly urged to execute this Constitutional provision. He has neglected to do so, and in many districts, especially in those where the colored voters are in absolute control, there is no limit to fraud. Because of this persistent refusal, the confidence of the better class of citizens of botli parties has been lost to him; ad? ded to this are other reasons for the rapid change of public sentiment in this State. During the first two years of his ad? ministration he made persistent effort to reform the Government of the State. He alienated Patterson, Bo wen and the class or' men who have disgraced the State. He had been publicly pronounced by them as a partner in their rascalities. Elliott in convention held to public view a letter whose contents, he claimed, would send the Governor to the State prison. The Governor, iu turn, de? nounced these men, and asserted his pur? pose to bring them to justice. Suddenly, without assigned reason, against the pro test of every leading Republican* in the State, he ceased his enmity to the1 men he had denounced, consented to be th'eir candidate for re-election, led a ticket with men whose infamy he had held up to public execration, and whose associa? tion he had spurned for years. Every Republican Judge , of the Su? preme Court of this State will endorse this statement. Some of them have given me this information. Why he made this remarkable change can only be left to conjecture?politicians say his reward is to be the'United States Sena? toren) p. Thus the man who had been praised by good men of all parties has been abandoned, not only by the Democrats, but by every Republican judicial officer, from the Chief Justice and the United States District Judge down. His influ? ence for good'is gone; he is despised by the best men of both parties; hated by those who use his past record for their own re-election, and is left to a miserable fate, whether elected or defeated.: His representations of affairs in this State are utterly partisan; he seeks information alone through his own creatures; re? fuses to them the evidence upon which hi? monstrous statements are made. One of the Judges of the Supreme Court told me to-day that he had been a warm friend and supporter of Gov. Chamber? lain, but had been forced to leave him since he had chosen to consort with thieves. A Republican ex-Gpvernor of the State told me Chamberlain had been a true re? former until recently, but was now lead? ing the worst ticket South Carolina ev'?rj had. The most recent evidence of the untruthfulness of Gov. Chamberlain is in his letter to Gen. DeSaussure and Gov. McGrath of this State, promptly tele? graphed to the Northern press by him. I write of what I; personally know. The appeal of the Charleston gentlemen, Messrs. McGrath and DeSaussure, was not for the protection of the polls, but for prompt protection to the defenceless families on the coast and islands near Charleston, daily enduring outrage from the half-civilized negroes of that region. The whites are being driven from their homes; women and children on the coast are living in terror, or suffering fates worse than death. The Governor had employed no means to protect them, and in this extremity a committee of Charles? ton.citizens came to Columbia requesting the Governor to join them in an appeal to Gun. Ruger for protection to the per? sons and lives of defenceless women and children. The Governor did not go with them to headquarters, made lame ex? cuses, and when he saw Gen. Ruger re? quested him to use his discretion in com? plying with their request. Levying upon the visit made by the Charleston com? mittee in behalf of humanity, when they had left, he wrote, published, and tele? graphed to the North a letter based upon misrepresentation of the object of their visit. He has basely tortured the pitiful appeal from the people he rules to an en? dorsement of his crime against their liberties. Theodore F. Randolph. Cut Food.?Every close observer has made the discovery that when solid grain is fed to stock, a large per cent, is not digested; but passes off in the excre meut. In some cases, portions of this undigested grain may be picked up by the pigs and domestic fowls about the lot, but the larger amount of it is a clear loss. This may be remedied by cutting up all the long forage designed for stock, and having the grain ground into meal, and sprinkled on the cut food. Before the meal i3 sprin? kled, the cut food should first be slightly wet. This causes the meal to stick to it and gives stock a relish for the cut food. It is useless to feed a cow on corn, be? cause very little of it is digested. The same is true with regard to meal; but meal sprinkled on cut straw or fodder, is fine food for any domestic animal. It is clear that when the food is thus prepared it will take much less to keep an animal in good condition, from the simple fact that all the food that is given it is in a digestible form. It is said by men who practice this, or a similar mode of feed? ing, that stock are less liable to colic and bots than those fed in the usual way.? Colic arises from a disordered condition of the stomach, and the stomach is dis? ordered by taking in food in improper quantities or in an improper, or indigest? ible state. There is little danger of a horse having colic so long as he digests his food thoroughly, and he may have colic at any moment when his stomach does not perform its functions.? York villc Enquirer. The Great Shipwreck in the Arctic Seas.?The effects of the dis? aster, says the New Bedford Standard of the 23d, will be to reduce the Arctic fleet next year to a very small number of ves? sels, the business being prosecuted only by the most enterprisng merchants who are willing aud able to run the great risk, as insurance offices will not care to take it. There are only two or three vessels now in port suitable to send to those seas. Two vessels are now on the tray out, and a merchantman on the way to San Fran? cisco from this port, is fitted to go north if it is deemed advisable, and with those which escaped may form the entire fleet. Some ships now at sea may also be ordered north. This disaster is only paralleled and ex? ceeded by that of 1871, the news of which reached this city on Sunday evening, November 5, 1871, announcing that of the Arctic fleet of forty-one vessels thirty two had been abandoned, only nine being saved. Of these vessels twenty-two be? longed to this port, valued at $1,097,000, mostly insured in local offices. The catch on board the abandoned vessels at that time was 965 barrels of sperm oil, 13,605 barrels whale oil and 100,000 pounds of bone. Two Sundays.?You know that, in crossing the Pacific it becomes necessary to alter the reckoning of the days to con? form to that of the Eastern or Western Hemisphere, according as a ship is sail? ing in one direction or the other. In going to Japan, when the 180th degree of longitude is reached (which is. just half way around the world from the royal ob? servatory at Greenwich, England, from which longitude is reckoned,) a day is dropped, and in returning one is added. We crossed that meridian on the 8th inst., and so two days were put down in the ship's calendar as the 8th of June. Now, as it happened that this was Sun? day, we had two Sabbaths succeeding each other?one of which was the Sab? bath in Japan and in all Asia, and the other the Sabbath in America and in Europe. Some of our ship's company were puzzled to know which to keep ; but I did not think it would do me any harm to keep them both, aud shall always remember with pleasure this double Sab? bath on the sea.?Dr. Field, in Evangel* ist, ?

Dear Sir?On my -return home, after a protracted absence, I find your kind let? ter inviting me, in the name of the Dem? ocratic Executive Committee of Ander? son County, to attend a mass meeting on the third day of this present month, and address the people at a barbacue to be given by all the Democratic Clubs of your County. I thank you very cordially for the in? vitation, and regret that I am not in con? dition to accept it. My trip West was taken with a view to the recuperation of my health, which has been much: im? proved, but I am not yet entirely relieved of a disease in my throat, and of a cough which prevents me from public speaking, and puts it out of my power to comply with your wish. I must, however, express my cordial sympathy with your movement, and my earnest wish for the success of General Hampton, your noble standard bearer, and of the Democratic party of your State, in the approaching election. Prob? ably no people on earth have had heavier burdens to bear, on account of bad gov? ernment and maladministration, than the people of South Carolina have en? dured for the last few years. Whether your people made a mistake, immediate? ly after the passage of the reconstruction act iu lying still, and giving up the con? trol of the State government to carpet? baggers, by allowing them to control the colored people of South Carolina, is not an appropriate subject for discussion at present. If any error of that character was committed, you have long since suf? fered its penalty, and the united and de? termined effort which the intelligent, high-toned, honorable citizens of your once noble State arc now making to throw off the yoke, gives promise, in my judgment, of an early deliverance. In this effort, you have the cordial sympathy and best: wishes "of all intelligeut, right minded people, both North and South, who are not controlled by partisan inter? est, or political malignity; and the prayer goes up from hundreds of thousands of hearth stones, all over the country, that you may be able to throw off the yoke, and substitute good government and an honest administration, for the bad gov? ernment and maladministration of past years. As a native of South Carolina, I feel the more keenly the wrongs inflicted upon her, and trust the more ardently that they may soon cease to exist. In General Hampton, your leader, you have a man who has the confidence and respect of .good people .everywhere, who has a national reputation for gallantry and ability, and a character untarnished by a breath of reproach, who is able, wise, prudent and sagacious, and who, if he should succeed to the position of Governor of your State, will; I have no doubt, see that the laws are faithfully and impar? tially administered, and that equal and exact justice is done alike to all persons, without regard to race, color or any oth? er condition in life. The colored people of South Carolina may well give to General Hampton a cordial and enthusiastic support. Some of them knew his ancestor before him. Many of them have known him all their lives, and they have never been deceived by a Hampton, or had reason to call in I question the humanity, integrity or sense of justice possessed by him who bears the Democratic standard. It is to me a matter of surprise that all intelligent col? ored people in your State do not see that their interest lies in common with the white people of the State, who were born upon her soil, who are identified with her interest, and who, at every stage of their existence, have been in some friend? ly relation connected with the colored race, and who have constantly shown themselves its best friends. Can it be that any sensible colored man who looks to his own interest, and the interest of his family in future, can believe that they would be better served by retaining in power carpet-bag officials who have piled upon the State an enormous debt, and burdened its population with a taxa? tion almost too grievous to be borne, than by electing such native men as Hampton and others who are before them for their suffrage, whose interest it will be to stop the accumulation of debt, and reduce in every possible way the taxation by which they arc burdened? Every colored man must see that his labor is burdened by the yearly taxation with which carpet? baggers have loaded the people of the State, and it would seem that the prompt? ings of self-interest and self-protection will naturally lead him to lend his aid to throw off this grievous burden. The carpet-bagger who makes a fortune by dishonest means, and leaves the tax? payers to raise the money to meet the burdens which have been imposed for his individual benefit, has no particular interest in remaining in your State long? er than he can continue to accumulate. When out of office he can return to the North, carrying his spoils with him. How does it benefit either the white citi? zen or the colored citizen to give his aid to the carpet-bagger, by placing him in power where he can enrich himself at their expense? Is it wise for any citizen i of South Carolina to vote to continue such men in office? Would it not be much wiser to vote for men who arc fully identified with you, whom you know well, whom you have known all your lives, whose property is with you, who are the owners of your soil, and who will live: and die with you, sharing whatever bur? dens the government of the State may impose upon the people? Is it not rea? sonable to suppose that those who are native born, and who expect to remain and make South Carolina their homes, will practice more rigid* economy, and make greater efforts to relieve the people of taxation and burdens? Does not every colored man as well as every white man see that it is his interest to place in authority those .whose motto shall be "Economy and Reform?" It seems to me the question cannot be a debatable one, and that every intelligent voter ought, without hesitation, to come to the conclusion in favor of a change from the desperate state of-things which has for years existed in the State, and the inau? guration of a new and better system; The conduct of your present Executive, in fomenting discord between the two races for personal aggrandizement, and for the purpose of perpetuating himself in office, deserves, as it receives, the con? demnation of all unbiased, intelligent, patriotic people. His appeal to the gov? ernment at Washington,,-to send troops to South Carolina, to disarm the white race, and awe them from the ballot box, Cannot be too severely condemned; imd the conduct of the President of the Uni? ted States, in sending troops to South Carolina to interfere in- the elections, with?.* Bloody Threats. : ! ^ t Now that the election of Mr..Tilden is assured beyond any reasonable doubt,' the Republican managers, who cannot bear to loosen their grip on the'-Treasury]'Or to have exposed their still concealed-ras? calities ana robberies, begin to threaten resistance to his inauguration. They employ the language and breathe the fanatical and foolish spirit of the most violent class of the secessionists of 1861 iu regard to Mr. Lincoln. Blaine, in his speech , at Buffalo,.told, the people that if New York voted for Tilden he would certainly be elected, and' then asked: "Will you) allow him to be inaugurated in that event?" A promi? nent speaker, who had thoroughly can? vassed his State, recently went to Wash? ington and admitted that Tilden would carry it largely. But, said he, "before he shall he inaugurated the streets of this capital will rua with blood." The St. Louis Globe does not mince matters, in giving utterance to the pur? pose of those for whom it speaks, when it says: "No man elected by the process resor? ted to by the Democrats of South Caro? lina will ever be allowed to take his seat as President of the United States. This is our deliberate judgment." We advise these persons to keep cool and not to let their angry passions rise. It will be hard to resist the inevitable re? sult which is now foreshadowed. Samuel' J. Tilden will be elected President, and the four millions of voters, North and South, East and West, to whose suffrages he will be indebted for the offi66, will see to it that he is inaugurated on the 5th of March, 1877. The office holders, the rings, the job? bers, the thieves, the carpet-baggers, and the rogues, who have had fulfswing for^ more than fifteen years, and have run this Government like a close corporation for their own profit, leaving to the people the privilege of paying whatever taxes they imposed, will die hard, of course. But they had better not try a rebellion to retain possession, or threaten to break things because they are to be turned out. Some of the usages of Mexico cannot safely be tried in the United States. ' "' We are a law-abiding people, and Our habit is to submit to the decision of the ballot box, even when it is notoriously stuffed, as has been the Republican prac? tice for many years in Philadelphia'and all-over the South under carpet-bag rule." Nobody fears that Blaine would lead any resistance that he might incite. He is no more dangerous now to the reformers than:he was to the rebels during the war,' when he hired a substitute who finally brought up in jail, while Blaine .himself, expended his patriotism in the lobby,; and jobbery illustrated his sense of public^ duty. 1 When Calhoun threatened nullification^ and violent opposition to the execution, of the laws, G<*h. Jackson did not hesitate to say he would hang him as high as Hainan if an attempt was made to put these manaces into execution. Blame will take good care never to get his neck, in the halter if he can avoid it. Butj sorae of his deluded followers may get into an ugly scrape by this sort of vapor? ing, which is intended to intimidate the weak and ignorant. If they are wise at all, they will accept the admonition to keep cool, and be prepared to see our. Uncle Samuel inaugurated like all his Sredecessors in the Presidential office.? 1 Y. Sun.
