THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL MATTERS. THE RADICAL POW-WOW AT TOUH 1 .VILLE. THE PEKO CB ATS DIVIDI TIME A?TD CAPTURE TES MEETIHO. ' A TUIIIP HcpnbU*?n Hamn^uc, followed by Rouelug Democratic Hpcethe?. While Uie review waa progressing at Pen dicton on last Friday, information came that the Radicals of the Fork intended to have a political iiicoting at Parker's Church, near Town ville, at 3 o'clock that afternoon. They had previously announced that they would hold a meeting at this place on the next afternoon, and tho report became cur rent that they had changed the time to Fri day, so os to prevent the Democrats, who were attending the "Red Shirt" parade, from being at their meeting to take part I-j it. Ou this information, Gen. E. W. Moise, Col. J. A. Hoytaud Maj. E. B. Mur ray, with the companies of Captains J. M. Kidd, F. L. Sitton aud lt. K. Mason, lea Pendleton between 1 and 2 o'clock, for the purpose of attending the meeting. Aa the companies in advance came upon tho meet ing, ?hey found the party dispersing, and it 1-, believed that a courier conveyed them the information that the Dem?crata would he nt the meeting, and therefore Parker, thc Republican County Chairm ?, aunounced that he would hold his meeting at 2 o'clock on the following day, os previously ap pointed. Gen. Moise wus compelled to re turn to Columbia, and could not wait for the meeting, but Messrs. Hoyt and Murray remained over to take a hand in it. Capt. Mason's company declined returning on tho next Tay, and Capt. J.- C. ?tribling's Flying Anillery was sent for in Its stead. At the appointed hour tho arrangements were made for opening thc meeting. Wir. lt. Pm ker was to speak first, and be follow ed by Col. Hoyt and Maj. Murray, after which Newton Whitner as to close for the Republicans. Before tho meeting waa opened it was stated that a colored man named Andy had como to tho meeting armed and threatening to hare a row. Parker nominated this man for Chairman, but Mr. Murray uuunuueed that ho uor any other man who carno there to have a row should preside over the meeting, and after a little consultation, Col. Hoyt sug gested that each speaker act as his own chairman, which was agreed to. Parker then made the first speech in a very con servative and gcnoral way, travelling over the landing of the slaves, thc revolution, tho late war, reconstruction, ?fro. He and the colored peoplo were willing to join tho Democrats and vote with them in this County if they would give them one repre sentative and on? County Commissioner. He claimed that tho INTKI.LIORMCEB'S ac count of the County Republican Convention was* incorrect, and-misrepresented him about ruling tho motion to endorso Gov. Hampton out of order. He also stated that he had alwaya been willing to go with the Democrats if they would give tho colored rw_^.r\la a tn.rt nf tb?? off?C*?B tt!Vl tilgt In th? Inst campaign he hod prop? ted it to Col. Hoyt, who agreed that Parker should call a meeting of the colored people and he would call ono of the Democrats to consider tho question, but they did not do so. He dwelt on the slavery question, and closed as usual with vulgar and indecent language. He was followed by Col. Hoyt, who began by denying that he agreed to call a meeting to o -sider Parker's proposition, and said that V a told Parker to call his meeting and submit its action to him. Parker admitted that this was correct, and Col. Hoyt gave as his reason that he know Parker's name would bo on tue list pittrniittd, sud he wanted to let him show himself in this way. He spoke of the just and eqoal coursa pur sued by the Democrats towards the colored people, and commented on the great ad vantages offered the colored people in our provisions for public education. He rasped Parker for the irreverent and vulgar lan guage which ho used, showing that such conduct was highly improper in a minister. He advised Parker to retire from politics and d?voie himself to his ministry. Parker said he could not mako a living at preach ing, and CJI. Hoyt told him if he would quit politics and try it he would agree to make a speech to his congregation, showing them the importance of supporting their preacher. He dwelt at length on tho im portance of friendly relations between, tho races, and-showed that gratitude and self interest combine to make it tho duty of the colored man to support Gov. .Hampton and tho Democratic party. AB Maj. Murray went upon tho platform, Morris Carter, a rotorious colored politician of the Fork also, stepped up and announced that he intended to speak then. Mr. Mur ray, in laconic stylo, invited him off of the platform, and he accepted the invitation, saying, as he loft, "I bog your pardon, sir." Mr. Murray then began by urging tho col ored peoplo tc bo friendly with the white people, on whom they are dependent for their work and support. He said there was nothing to bo gained by this political ex citement. That the colored people were in a great minority in this County, and were wasting time in politics, besides keeping up at rife where there was no reason for it. He said tho Democrats bad treated them fairly, and would continue to do so, and asked if they could point to a singlo instance where a law had been passed that hurt the colored man. Parker sold, tho feuco law. Mr. Murray proved on him and mada him own that he himself advocated the adoption of that law, and then advised tho colored peo ple not to folio v.- the mac who was hypo critical enough to advise them to do a thing and then tarn round after it was done and say it wes a bad law. Ho then modo Parker admit that tho IKTKLLIOENCKB'.I account of the Republican County Convention was correct, and asked tho colored people how much commence moy could have in a man that would deny a thing that he knew was true. He then told them that the white peoplo had boon better to them than they Would have been to tho white pc-jple if they had had tho opportunity, and cited them to tho Constitution of Liberia, which pro hibits white persons from voting or holding office. He condemned Parker's raking up of the past 240 years to prejudice them against the Democrats, and said that it was ungrateful in him, w Cot. Cothran, the Demociatio Solicitor, had forgiven him of the charge of getting too much school mon ny st uUntt. ilma turn, Ho told the col ored people that thsyTiad better let tho past be past and take care of the present. That tlicy had better look after bread and meat. That the Democratic party waa the party to St it in. Ho told tho <. lorcd peoplo that ey ware not prepared for filling the posi tion of legislators yet, and proved it to them by a scries of questions to Parker, none of which waa he able to answer. Next he at tacked Parke, for mixing religion with politics, and made him own to taking up a collection In his Church to pay his expenses to the Radical Btato Convention. The day was a most successful one, and it Ia believed its resalta will be very beneficial io the Democratic party tn this County. >Vs have only given a very brief outline of portion of the speeches. They were com prehensive and judicious, and evidently asdo a fine impression upon the colored people. Thay also rasped Parker to such advantage ai to place hun in a very unde sirable position before both white and col-.4 o red people, and will no doubt causa bimi to think carefully before ho attempts tot hold another Republics" mmolncr.

THE BEB SHIRTS. THEY CELEBRATE THEIR SECOND ANNIVERSARY AT PENDLETON. A Grand Military Display In Donor of the Adoption of the Famous Political Uniform. Your to Five Thousand Persona Pr?tent An Array of Beauty Smile? apon the Celebration-The Review, Speohea, Manic, Artillery and Dinner Oc cupy the Entire Day. The celebration of the Second Anniver sary of tho adoption of the Red 8hirt as a political campaign uniform cams off on last Friday at Pendleton, and was in every re spcct worthy of the important event it com memorated. Early in the morning the ar rival of the military companies, who cams to signify their appr?ciation of the occasion and participate in perpetuating its memory, begun, and BOOH iiie btreets of Pendleton were alive with mounted Red Shirts, and with an eager and enthusiastic thiong of spectators, who assembled to witucas the review nod attend the mass meeting. Gen. Humphreys and staff, with thc greater por tion of the Eleventh Brigade, were present, and also a number of campaign companies, all of which were formed in lino of review along the street entering the Square from the sou ?.. This lino of review consisted of the following commands : Eastern Regiment of the Eleventh Cavalry Brigade-Colonel M. P. Tribble command ing. Captain Joseph B. Moore's Com pany, Capt. C. O. Mitchell's Company, Capt. E. M. Snipes' Company, Capt. J. -\V. Daeus' Company, Capt. J. P. Cox's Com pany, Capt. A. M. Guyton's Company, and Capt. Breazcale'a Company. Western Regiment of the Eleventh Cavalry Brigade-Licut.-Col. J. T. C. Jon? con. manding. Capt. J. M. Kidd's Company, Capt. \V. D. Garrison's Company, Capt. C. B. Gilmer'B Company, Capt. 8. L. Eakew's Company. Capt. W. S. Hall's Company and Coi t 8. A. Jones' Company. A Regiment of unattached Companies was formed und commanded hy Lieut.-Col. R. \V. Simpson, as follows : The Connor Light Dragoons, commanded by Lieutenant J. P. Glenn, Capt. J. A. Rankin's Company, Capt. J. J. Lewis' Company, Capt. R. E. Mason's Company and Capt. F. L. litton's Company. Tho Battalion of Artillery, commanded hy Capt. J. C. Stribling, ?.onsisting of the Red Shirts, Lieut. J. G. Richards command ing; tho McGowan Artillery, Capt. John S. Smith commanding. The Palmetto Riflemen, Infantry, com manded by Capt. John E. Allen. Tho Anderson Palmetto Band was placed at thc head of the column, and the Pendle ton Silver Cornet Band at the rear. Both of these bunds mudo excellent music, and added much to the interest of the review. Tho line having been formed Adjutant and Inspector General E. W. Moise re viewed the troops, and the lino of march was taken across the Square and out by the Episcopal Church to the speakers' stuud, where the military won dismissed, and tho men proceeded to dismount and hitch in order to attend the speaking which took place in MaxweU'a Grove, in <ront of the residence of Mr. j. I>. Smith, in which ample Beats and a au '?''.nal and beauti fully decorated stand had been erected. The ladles of Pendleton evinced 'heir in terest in the celebration by the taJte and elegance with which their skiU adorned thc r?tsnd. From the top in tho frout a band ,Dine picture of Governor Hampton was s ispended. Tho columns of the stand were jriiisd gracefully with ever^rsens and flow ers, together with red, white and blue cloth. In front of the stand was tho motto in largo letters of evergresn which animated tbt Democracy of tho State two years ago, and if continued at this time will surely main tain in power the government of onr choice. It was: "No Independent Ticket." Upon tho speaker's desk was laid in full view tho original red shirt, which was made undor the direction of Lieut.-Col. A. J. Kitto?, then Captain of tho Company which adop ted this uniform. There was a very general disappointment and sorrow on account of the absence of Governor Hampton, which manifested it self in all of tho expressions which were in- ie upon the subject. The crowd present waa es?ii?sied at tho lowest calculation to number four thousand persons, among whom were Beveral hun dred colored people, who came out to see and hear the proceedings of the day, and evinced a commendable interest in every thing that was done, showing that they re alized the redemption which hos been wrought by the Democratic party for all races and all classes of our people. At ll o'clock a. m., W. H. D. Gaillard, Esq., called the meeting to order, and in vited ROT. Samuel B. Jones, D. D.t to open tho proceedings with prayer. Dr. Jones responded in an earnest and eloquent peti tion to tho giver of all good for hia blessing upon every condition of mankind. He especially prayed that God would puar out his blessings apon the rulers of our Nutioa and our State, and by His Holy Spirit gov ern and direct their paths in justice towards men and in fear of the Lord. He closed by a petition for the restoration of Governor Hampton to health, and asked that ho might bo spared for many yean of honor and usefulness to tho peoplo of his Stato and Nation. Col. James A. Hoyt, who was requested to introduce the speakers, congratulated the people of Pendleton upon having the first grand mass meeting in the campaign of 1878, and said that it brought to his recol lection tho brilliant canvass of 1876. Re said that it was a matter of great regret to all present that Governor Hampton could not attend this meeting, and that he was sure every heart went forth in unison with the eloquent prayer which bad been uttered asking for his speedy restoration to health. He then introduced to the andience Maj. E. B. Murray, who had been invited to deliver the address before the "Red Shirts" upon this occasion. Mr. Murray began by alluding to tho oc casion which brought tts together as tho second anniversary of the adoration of tho red shirt as a political campaign uniform, ur.? ?u?? that ii we? no unimportant evont in th? history bf our State. He referred to thc oppressive and tyrannical government which had been forced upon us as the result, of unsuccessful war, and said the people of South Carolina bore this humiliation And oppression with a patience and a patriotism which none but a brave, intelligent and hc r??? p??p?? ??Uld hare criiiOcd. That luis coursa had boen pursued In tho hope that better days would come, but that after eight years of submission the patience and endu rance of our poop lt had been exhausted, and as one man throughout tho Stat? tho people of Carolina determined that by their manhood and their strength they would bo free. A ricket for Stato ofHccra, headed hy Ute Immortal Hampton, had been putin, the field, and that a atraightout fight waa determined upon. That to further this mnvAni.nl nst?i>aklvn n?nn.U4 clubs began to be formed, and that on the 21th day of August, 1873, tho red thlrt which he held in his hand was mad? for Col. Sitton, and on the following day, tbs 25th of August, lt waa cdopfed ?a the com pany uniform. That In this uniform tho Pendleton .company attend ?i tho great Anderson meeting, and attracted the atten tion and admiration of those present, so that tho rel was adopted by common con sent, and thousands of yards of red flannel were immediately bought and ordered. The idea spread in a Y cry short time over th? whole State, thereby inspiriting and enthus ing the champions of liberty until the movement became so strong that neither tito proclatnatior of Governor Chamberlain, nor that of Presider t Grant, with the United States bayonets to support it, waa able to make them disband. The red shirts, he be lieved, contributed more io the great victory won '.han any other one factor which en tered the canvass. II? said that there wera a number of claimants for the honor of originating the *traightout movement, and Lo supposed that every ono of them is lully fat::;lied that he is entitled to the praise But thia is not the caso with the red shirt. Ita uso for political campaign purposes is ceded to this company by all. Tbero is a claim that it waa started during the war, but for that matter it has been the English uniform for centuries, and has been worn ever since red fabrics have boen niado. There was no political significance attached to the organization spoken of, and tho claim of the Pendleton Company to its origination for campaign purposes is clear and indisputable. He then spoke of tho present canvuss. and said that unity of pur pose and of action was necessary to preserve tho redemption of our civilization. He warned tho people against listening to men who seek from personal motives of ambi tion or of prejudice to bring into this can vass anything foreign to the simple issue of Democracy or Radicalism, and said that if these issues arc permitted and encouraged now they will bo found to contain seeds which will bring forth a harvest of dissatis faction and division in our ranks two years from thiB time. Ho claimed that tho gov ernment iindui the Democrats had illustra teated the doctrine of Penn, that th* worst form of government in the hands of good men is as good as thc best, and insisted that the best thing thc people can do is to con tinue this government in power by giving lt a hearty and united support. He urged upon the people tho necessity of maintain ing our political strength in South Carolina to help purify our national government by electing a Democratic President, and ar raigned the Republican party as a party of usurpation, fraud and centralization, which, if continued in power, would seek by pro moting sectional hate, and tho establish ment of Tings and monopolies, to build upon the ruins of State rights and free government a strong government which would bo inimical to all tho peoplo, and destructive of liberty itself. Ho closed by expressing his confldenco in the perpetuity of the union, and his belief that thc North and South would unite in throwing off the rulo of the party of usurpation, thereby restoring the Democratic party, which would bring our country bock to its former purity and glory. And he said that South Carolina, who had ? joo? forth in bold relief in tho civic councils of our nation, as well as upon her battle fields, will bc one of the 8tates which will cast ber vote in favor of tba restoration of our country lo former purity and greatness. Col. Hoyt then introduced Gen. E. W. Moise os an earnest worker and eloquent orator in behalf of South Carolina's redemp tion. Gen. Moise responded in an eloquent, polished and exhaustivo discourse, which was frequently loudly applauded. Gen. Moise begun by speaking of the contrast be tween tho condition of South Carolina to da-, and two years ago. He spoko at length upon the troubles which came upon our people after tho war, and showed the effect they hod i? estranging tho colored people, by bringing into our midst a set of adventu- ' rer; who, by f?ir and false promises, won their confidence to deceive and betray them. He told thc colored peoplo how they carno to bo free, and then dissected the course of tho carpet-bagger. He told them that the statement that they were tho equals of tho whito man io not true, for they had shown their lack of ability to rule the State by tho miserable- governments they established, citing Cliamberlain's as their best govern ment, and drawing a parallel between that and Hampton's administration, showing them that they were freer, happier and more prosperous under Democratic rule than they were under the government of their own choice. He told them that un der Democratic government all of their rights had been given them ; that there was no discrimination against them, and that their lives and property was more se curely protected now than under the gov ernment of their own selection. Ho said Gov. Hampton had pledged himself to glvo them protection, and that ho did so. Ho condemned most severely anything like independents, and said they wero worse than Radicals. He preferred tho open foe rather than the false friend. He ??aid that straight-out Democracy bad redeea'etl tho State, and that it alono would retain it. We have tried affiliation and failed. He closed by a glowing tribute to Governor Hampton, and urged tho people of South Carolina to prove as true to him and to themselves in the futuro os they huye done in the past. At this point our reporter, in company with Gen. Moise, Col. Hoyt and three companies o' Red Shuts, left to look after William R. Parker, and thoreforo we cull tho remainder of this report from our exchanges, and adopt tho comments on the close of tho mooting as our sonti monts: Col. J. Ii. Orr next addressed tho peo ple, mostly upon tho subject of cen tralization of tho General Government and tho dangers of it. In proof of this, ho roforzed to tho bayonet rulo in this State two years ago ; Bond's roleaso of tho Returning Board when tho State had' imprisoned them for their false count of tho election returns ; and tho recent ro loasinc of tho rovonuo prisoners from Stato jurisdiction. He said further, that because of tho probability of the next Presidential election being thrown into the House of Representatives, we should endeavor to secure anotbor Representa tive at least ft om this State in Congress. Captain Gaillard then announced that tho speaking was over, but the crowd wero not satisfied until they beard from Hon D. Wyatt Aiken. He only spoke for a few moments, but in that time ho got in moro good words fur tho brass binds and women of South Carolina for their services in tho last campaign, and dealt more hard blows to some of the Democratic Congressmen of the North and tito Radical party io general than we bav? ever known him to do even in a much longer speech. Biii??r Was u?r? tMiuO?n??u, ?uu BU CU e dinner it was, too. Thoro wero four tables, two of 200 feet each in length and two of about forty feet each, and all were loaded down with good and substantial things for Ute innoi man. Thoro was plenty for tho whole crowd and to anare. After eating to ' their boort?' content, tho crowd dispersed, feeling assured that Andorsoii I.kninty, and Psndlton vll lago particularly, had surpassed on this occasion, her wide reputation for getting un the moat s*2!htiH!**"4!-? ??/w>tln.im aud tho biggest dinners of any of her sister counties.
