Democrats are aa bad aa J the Republicans.

He did not intend to leave the Republi I can party until the colored people got their rights, and he did not went the Other colored people to do so. Maj. E. E. M=rr;y waa then loudly called for, sad responded, showing the extravagant expenses under tbs Bopub Hean administrations, citing Vie appro priation of $325,000 for printing alont in 1879, and showing that this was more t'.\an tho whole expenses of the govern ment now, oxclndiog the interest on the publie uebt, whljh was created by the Republicans. He denied that tho price of cotton was aoy lower nbw than it wt* in 1875, wuen the Republicans had tbe government. He told the colored people that the Democratic party had given the Country peace and security, which had brought a demand for labor, and that to-day there could not be fonnd in tbis section a man who wanted employment without being able to get it. He told them that our Courts are better than they were under tba Republicans { that mea do not now have to buy justice, but the poor aa well aa the rich and powerful caa seem* their rights hofore tho law. Ho said lt was trae that fewer colored men were put on juries, but the colored man received more Justice now than be fore; that colored men want to be tried by white juries in nine cases ont of ten anyway, and that bo* recently a white man had been bung Sra Bpartanbcrg for murdering a colored man, and that such lui occurrence had never been known under Republicanism, or when tho col ored people had tho greatest number ol men on tho juries. It did not moke ans difference whether they got justice '..ora & colored mi,, or a white man so long ai tii?y were sore to get it, Aa to colorer] mon holding office, ho must say to thoa candidly that they; woulC not be elected until they were qualified by education and become Democrats. That people ore not going to elect them to offico aim? ply because they ere colored men, noi will the Democrats try to buy up Repub licans by giving them office. If yoi want to obtain position for your race yet most educate your children and join tbi Democratic patty. He told them tim in Barnwell, Charleston, Sumter, Coll? ton and Ot angebarg where they hnv< many colored men in tho Democratl party they bad givpn the colored men i member of tho Legislature. He toll thom that tho leaders they had elect2< ,W?re dishonest, and that he did not knoi ?M ?<ho Mk Um MIU~ j?# criss While in omeo. Parker asked wha about Elliott, to >hlch Mr. Murrayjre plied that he, too, had been frailty o pilfering from the public crib. He tob the colored people that wo wanted then to go. with us, but that we wonld carr; tho. coming election certain. We knoi the valuo of good government, and lo tend to glvo it to you. Even if yon d not want lt wo will be" obliged to give 1 to you, because both your interest an ours requires that we should have goo government, ; At th- inclusion of Mr. Murray1 speech Cv.. J. H.

Mr. Earle was a visitor hen and it would bo discourteous to re fut bim permission to speak. It was the Bgrbed that ho should ?peak, and tbi Mr. Cochran should, reply to him. Co Earle begou by telling thens that be wi from a county which had been.large) Republican but h now Democratic, ac would In all probability ramaln so.. ? was anxious to ste .tb? best of foellr exist between tho races; their interest ono, and it Is unfortunate for them to I estranged. Ho; commented i'pon tl color line tn politics, and told the cc ored people that they could never hoj for success upon any such issue, fer tbe race was lu a hopeless minority in Vi Hulled States.. He combatted Parket iden of extravagance nuder Democrat government. Parker said ho did n mean that tho Dem?crata were as bad tho Republicans, but that they we more extravagant than they ought to I Col. Earle replied that tho logic of su argument as that watt this : "The Den ?rata do not st ca), as much as the Itopu Heans, therefore we will restore tho D publicans." M that aright be good argument for a dishonest man, b no honest man would bo willing to r on lt. He commented on the coorie many colored preachers who want -lt iwracs . with more ?eal than they :< into-religion,and'told the colored pebj te borrare of them. HU advice to tbi was te edocaU their children and. tiri to fit. them for lh> in the ago .?f prog? in which, they live, fte wanted io i them prosper Wa race, and had nothl tml hind fi?Altr?ata pye ?fr???*.. ? ''j?x-Seo?tor Cochran was then Int duced and advised and urged the Pepi Hean party of the. State, tbroajh I entire nttcntlento national issues, m ft?r no nominations for State .offie whatever,' He said nothing but del would bb met by any effort to resgn. the party In thU State. That, many tbs leaders were men without charai and could commnnd no respectable lowing. He had said it before, and would say it openly now, that the pres Republican leaders of the pariel*) fa effectually killed in 1876, and any off put forth to revive lt through tl would simply be the work of design men solely for tit? purpose of peru i?dVai?ee?sst He advised ttl? Rspu cans lo support the Garfield ticket, ch lng that tho Nation party-wis one ^MiecUbillty and led by Intelligent n Mr, Cobran told tho colored people I ?Mfr only hope for political advai meet in thia ccontry, was to cease n moemi? parirla divided'beyond ? ki chairman of tho joint? ir.f?tlg*ti5g committee no had foun$ anythingagainst R. B. Elliott? To thia Hr. ?ochran replied b;; citing one point only, that of a fraudulent war rant for $5,000 ba thc Aimed force fund, toado out for alleged expenses incurred in trying to arrest the murderers of Ran? dolph, when no such expense was in curred and the nszft'ss used were nctieious. This was approved of by R. B. Elliott in ! the Adjutant nod Inspector General's j department, the original of which, h? j said, could ba seen in Secretary Sim's office. Ur. Cochran also told them that if they elected their State ticket tho D?mocratie party would count them out, and be again urged them to confine their1 fight to ?he electoral ticket, telling them tba'/ on it bo would be with them. At the conclusion of this speech Par? ker got op and said that be was Obliged to refuse to serve as County Chairman if j Elliott was continued as Chairman of tba I State Committee. A> the cono*r .lon of | this speech from the Chairman tb? Con? ventlon adjourned. The ?etnvcrats are well satisfied with Uro result of the meet ing, and thr Republicans are evidently very much discouraged. muna THE IOYAI. HOBTH. A shrewd r snsion agent In Washing ton induce' an Ignorant wounded Con federate soldier in Williamsburg County, lamed Robert Haans, to file an appli cation for a pension from the United States Government on account of bis ser vices in the late war. The cgent Induc ed the poor fellow to file the application, and then held ont hope to bira that be j would get the pension in order to collect j ? fee from hun for bis services in making the application, although he kuow Mr. I Hanna would never get a cent from the Government. The Republicans now seise opon this trifling matter to make a great noise about tho secret intention of the Sooth to pension its soldiers in tho j tate war, and are trying to fire the loyal North against (be Democratic party on thia account. They claim that the ap plication of Mr. Hanna ls only prema ture, and that it represents the true in tention of our people. Thia shows bow mean and contemptible the Republi cans are. They do not hesitate to dis tort and misrepresent anything that I comes from the South, and every act of | our people-even the humblest is taken advantage of to keep alive the prejudice and passions growing oat of the late war. Nothing will free us from this Infamous treatment as long as the Republican party retains the Government. To say that Mr. HAona ls a simple and honest man, without any representativo position, either crucially or in bb* private opinions, will have no effect upon the stalwarts) although they know lt ls strictly true. It ls, howover, fortunate that thousands of independent voters have sense enough to detect these shams, and will not be influenced by such thrilling and disrepu table methods in conducting tho cam paign. ' There will be a grand ratification eating In Columbia on nest Tuesday at hieb Senators Bayard, Vance, Gordos j Hampton, Butler and others are expected to speak. Excursion rates will be given drer all the railroads In South Carolina and crowds are expected to attend the meeting from every county in the State. Wo hope as many persons aa possible will go from Anderson oounty. It will be a favorable opportunity to visit,Co lumbia. The rat?? of fare will be made Very low. Tho object of the meeting is to have a gathering of representative men from all parts of thu State, that the meeting may send lt* enthusiasm . into I every County at the very beginning of the I campaign; Many of the leading citizens of Charleston have written Mr. S. Y. Tup. pv?, tho President of the Chamber of] Commerce, a letter, requesting him to consent to become a candidato for tho State Senate from Charleston. County to represent the commercial interests of the j the State. Mr. Tupper ls a gentleman of ] culture, experience and ability, which U qualify him for inCucnco and uso jlacss ia the Senate. Ho has not aa ret answered tho request, but whether he j accepts >' not, we ray bc sura Charles ton will nom?nalo an able and honorable j stier?an for the Senate to succeed the epublican Taft. Tba County Dcmdoratto Executive j Committee has invited Senators Bayard, Vance an Gordon to speak in Anderson on the S th of September, and it is not improbable that one or more of them may be able to accept the invitation, ord give to those present at the. v.^ottog the pleasure of hearing not only tho distin guished mon df South Carolina, but also sonic of tho most distinguished mcmbora of tho United Sutes Senate, These gentlemen aro expected In Columbia next .Tuesday, and wo hope they can be induced to attend our meeting da Thurs? . if vii ? i .- : .

Mordor fntfioo* *ay Aspartats A rumor bad bOja afloat io thia vicin ity io the early part of the ?eek to the e?eetthat two negroes bad beeu founi dead in Little River, just below tho Lau rens line, in Newberry County, but we failed to h tar any parti culara concerning the matter until we received a letter by Wc&ttsday evening*! mail, from a relia ble gentleman living near the. vicinity where the laid negroes were Tound, from which letter wo learu tho following faotr. Cn last Saturday evening an old black mau named Henry Grier was fishing in Little River, jost below the Newberry line, near Floyd's bridge, when be dis covered the dead body of a man In tho water. He immediately went boa? and reported the fact to some of his frieucu but it being then dark they did not go to the river until Sunday morning, when they proceeded to book up the body tc find ont who lt wu, when horrible to titate, they found another body in thu same place-both the sons of the old man who bad first discovered them. Hr, E. C. Langaton, the Coroner of Newberry County, was sent for. who summoned a jnry and held an inquest. Tho oldest or the two boys (about 21) had a bullet wound in tho left breast and one in the back. The other brother had only one wound inflicted just under the right nip fie and ranging towaids the heart. Dr. attoii, who made the pott morion exam ination, gave it as his opinion that either, of the wounds waa necessarily fatal. In addition to tho bullet wounds tho bodies were weighed down by large rocks tied to them. Tho jury of inquest stated that both the deceased came to their death by bul let wounds inflicted by parties to them unknown. There could not be a particle of evidence, lt seems, brought np tc point to any one as tho murderer ; then waa no evidence to ahow that the boys had bad a difficulty with any one, and no one can conjecture the causo of thc tragedy. Nor can there be any politi cal significance attached to the unfortu nate affair, as both the boya are said tc have been very inoffensive, honorable fellows. Great indignation ls felt by thc people of the community where th< tragedy occurred, by both white one black. The murdered negroes were cit! zens of Laurens County. ? It is boped the Governor will offer i suitable reward for the apprehension o the murderer. Such a deed ls a biol upon the civilization of any communty or section, and we. regret the duty o having to record such lawlessness ; bu truth is troth, end it must he told.
