' The importance of the great political con? test upon which we have now fairly entered ,| renders the dissemination among the people of sound political views and accurate and ea iv information of the progress and incidents of the canvass, a matter of peculiar interest and expediency. Every individual who has ?ny stake in the welfare of these Southern States, should give an active, personal and un? flagging support to the candidates of the national Democracy-SETMOUB and BLATB. A triumph of the Radicals will result in the. otter desolation and ruin of the South, and the placing of an ignorant and brutal race in oil positions and places of honor and tnut, to the exclusion of the white race. The govern? ment must be wrested from the thieves and plunderers who now have control of it, and power placed in the hands of a party pledged to give peace to a distracted country, and to make it a government for white men, and not for negroes. It is only necessary that the peo? ple should be thoroughly informed to accom? plish this, and THE NEWS will be an admirable means of diffusing this information. In order to place the paper within the reach of all, we have adopted a scale of reduced rates of sub? scription for the four months covering the Presidential canvass, and offer besides peculiar inducements for the formation of clubs. We are determined that THE NEWS shall be the cheapest and best newspaper in the South. Its blows will fall thickly, steadily and rapidly; and if the friends pf law, order and the Con? stitution do their duty by extending its circu? lation, its labors can be made powerfully effec? tive for good. We appeal then, to our readers to examine our remarkably low terms, and go to work with a will to get np large clubs for THE CHARLESTON NEWS. SATES POE TEE CAMPAIGN NEWS.

[FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.] THE LATEST WRINKLE OF RADICAL LEGISLATION SOCIAL EQUALITY-THE WHITE LEADERS LOS? ING THE IK CONTROL OVER THE SLACKS-REA? SONING OF THE COLORED LEGISLATORS-BIT? TERNESS OF THE EADIOAL "BING" TOWARDS GOV. SCOTT-ELECTION OF CIRCUIT JUDGES THE CODIFICATION OF THE STATE LAWS-THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE-TOE "NEGBO TN THE WOODTILE," 40. COLUMBIA, August 12.-Among the several Radical measures which the "party" are at? tempting to force through the Legislature is one which provides that hotels, barrooms, steamboats, railroad cars, banks, engine com-i panics-every enterprise, in short, which for ita existence depends upon a lbenae under law, or an act of incorporation, shall permit an affiliation "without regard to race, color or previous condition." I um glad to say that, conversationally at least, the proposition docs not meet with the favor of the intelligent col? ored majority of the Legislature; but it illus? trates the character of some of the white men who are seeking the control of tho black man's vote. Not daring themselves to take a stand on the question of social cqua ity, and face tho public opinion of the whole couutry, whether Repubbcan, Conservative or Democratic, they have prepared the bill, consigned it to the caie of one or two colored men in the Legislature, and have lift them to make the issue. There is not much doubt that the scheme will suc? ceed. Possibly it will be amended; but there is not a man in the Republican party to-day who expects to run for Congress, or to obtain the negro vote of the State for any office, from a constable up, who dare openly oppose the measure; and you will see it on tho call for the yeas and nays. Every hour establishes the fact that the demagogue who for threo years bas used tho colored man to achieve his base ends, is lead? ing bim steadily but surely to bis own pobtical destruction. Another fact is likewise estab? lished, namely, lhar these extreme white men who, bscauso they are white, aspire to be call? ed 'leaders," are to-day trembling in their shoes at every evidence of moderation exhibit? ed by the thoughtful, sensible, prudent colored members on the floor of this Legislature. The snap of the party whip grows weaker every hour. Whipper, Elliott, DeLarge, Bansier, Smalls, Hayne, Swails, Wilder, Simonds, Mc? Kinlay and Rainey-all representative men never IOBO sight of certain facts-first, that they are intellectually superior in judgment and natural ability to three-fifths of the white Republicans in either bouse; secondly, that they are recognized by outsiders as the pecu? liar exponents of their own race and the mould? ers of its sentiment; thirdly, that the brains, wealth and influence of the people of South Carolina are in bitter contest to the twenty-five or thirty extreme white men who essay to rule them and the State, and who imagine that they constitute the Republican party; fourthly, that in the providence of God they may some time be in a minority and dependent for support upon their former friends; lastly, that only by an exhibition of a truly moderate disposition a spirit which, void of passion or prejudice, saeks to subserve the interests of the whole people-can they hope to maintain the respect they o vned in the past, or the confidence of the great mass of tbe influential community in the honesty of purpose with which, while in? vested with power, they exercisod it. It ie for these reasons that you will bear men like Bowen, Chamberlain, Parker, Neagle, Crews, O'Connell and others, abusing General Scott at the top of their bent for daring to veto the bill recently passed by tho Legislature, ie ducing the bonds of officials. The reasons as? signed in the veto are sufficient to satisfy any reasonable man that both conscience and ex? pediency have been at work in the mind of the Executive, and that his object was to do right; but the howl among the "leaders," so called, of the party is immense. They thought their "ring" controlled him, and because his inde? pendence has been asserted, you must not be surprised to hear that they will attempt, on some frivolous ground, his impeachment. Ton have no conception how bitterly these ten or fifteen individuals talk. I do not think that some of their number would hesitate to use poison or the knife to destroy the Governor and his influence. I may add that they have not seen the worst yet. According to the constitution, a vote of two thirds of both houses is required to override the veto of the Governor. The Senate is safe. Fourteen votes can be safely relied on to sus? tain him; and in the House there is not brain enough among bis Southern white haters to defeat him. The ulterior effect of this action of the Gov? ernor will be to rally around him a party; to show his real strength in the Legislature, and to enable hun henceforward to suggest and direct such measures as in his judgment are beat calculated to promote the public good. Some of the Radicals do not like this. They say he has "sold out" to the Democrats. Ac? cording to their notion, whenever a man does what he conceives to be a duty, be must be that horrible creature-a Democrat. Two or three elections are approaching which already begin to developo party tactics. Tho candidates aro like a healthy eruption of mea? sles. They are coming out beautifully. Tho nearest of these contests is that for Circuit Judges, eight of whom are to be pro? vided for. There are many members who desire to elect such eminent lawyers and and jurists as Williams, of Yorkville; Glover, of Orangeburg; Dawkins, of Union; Munro, of Anderson, nnd others whoso names have adorned the bar and bench of the State. Neither of these gentlemen have been active participants in political strife, and all are re? cognized as moderate in sentiment. Tho ex? tremists to whom I have referred, however, are solicitous for tho election of genuine, A No. 1 brass mounted members of the Union League. It makes no matter whether they have read law B?X weeks or six years, whether they know their own ago (which a young aspi? rant asserts he does not), or have only the comprehension of school boys-it is all tho same to the Radicals. They will probably elect several of this class. Outside influences also will b% exerted to this end by gentlemen not connected with the Republican party, on the principle that if you give these people rope enough they will hang themselves. The commission to codify the laws of tho State is likely to be the subject of appointment by the Governor, by and with the advice o* tho Senate. A strong fight, however, will be made in the House, in opposition tc the appointing, and in favor of the elective power. Governor Oir, Judge Dunkin and Colonel E. B. Dennis (Judge Advocate of the late lamented Second Military District,) are most frequently named in connection with this undertaking. Tho Congressional nominations are yet in embryo, but it ia already a determined fact that either F. J. Moses, Jr., or Associate Chief Jus? tice Solomon L. Hogo will run against Simeon Corley, in this district. The candidates in tho other districts are numerous, and the choice is a matter of conjecture. Mono of the incum? bents will yield without a struggle, especially Whittcruore, who bas begun to deal his cards. The negroes, too, on this occasion will demand to be represented by ODO of their own color, although tho most strenuous efforts will bo made by their whito "friends" to keep them from becoming contestants. Influences are already at work in Washington, similar to those employed on a former occasion, and the color? ed man will be solemnly assured that if he goes to Washington he will hurt tho Republi? can porty. Beverly Nash can be elected in thia district easily. If Na9h is nominated, R. B. Elliott will certainly demand a bearing, whilo Whipper will carry everything before him in Beaufort. Cain and Randolph must then be provided for, and will demand of the nominat? ing convention-which, by the way, meets on tho Hth of September-power and placo. You may depend upon it that the colored peoplo have determined to assert their right to be re? cognized by the Radicals, and the few men who have heretofore controlled them and by their aid have been elected to fill two, three and four offices each, with salaries to match, will find that they have Blarted a whirlwind which they cannot ride. Debates in both the Senate and House to-day were ot no general interestt the chief topic in tho former being tho homestead bill, and in tho latter a bill to prevent and prohibit the payment of the capitation tax levied by order of tuc Legislature of 18GG, and continued by General Canby. PERSONNE. LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. SENATE. WEDNESDAY, August 12_Immediately after the reading of the journal, the ines-sage of the Governor, vetoing "au act to fix the amounts of the official bonds of certain public officers, and to imposo penalties on embezzlement," was presented by Mr. John Heart, bia private secretary. Mr. Wbitftmore moved that tho message be received as information, printed, and made the SDccial order for Tuesday nest. The mo tioj was not agreed to. Randolph (colored) moved that the objec? tions of the Governor be entered on the journal and that the Senate proceed ai once to the con? sideration of the act. Mr. S walla moved to lay the motion on tho table. The motion to lay on the table was not agreed to. . The question recurrine upon the motion that the objections of his Excellency the Governor be entered at large upon the journal, and that the Senate prooeed forthwith to consider the act, the S n..te divided, and the vote stood yeas 13, nays 12. So the motion was agreed to. Wripht (colored) moved that the further con? sideration of the message be postponed, and that it be made the special order for to-morrow, at 1 P. M. On division, the Senate voted-yeas 15, nays 10. The message was, therefore, made the special order for to-morrow, at 1 P. M. A resolution was offered requesting the At? torney-General to inquire and report upon tbe competency of the clerks now employed in the Solicitors' office, with a view to secure the ser? vices of the most expert clerical force in this department of duty. Ordered for considera? tion to-morrow. A resolution was adopted, authorizing the solicitors to employ a clerk, whose compensa? tion shall not exceed that of the engrossing clerks. Mr. Leslie, from the Committee on Railroads, to whom was referred an act tor the relief of the Charleston and Savannah Railroad Compa? ny, reported the same back, with & recommen? dation that the same do pass. Ordered for consideration to-morrow. Mr. Montgomery, lrom the Committee on In? corporations, to whom was referred a bill to in? corporate tho Citizens' Savings Bank of South Carolina, with instructions to strike out from Section 6 of said bill tbe words "and all others of m ode i ate means," reported the samebaok, and ask leave to report that to amend the bill by so struting ont would limit and confine the operations of thu proposed bank to two classes of persons only-widows and irphans-which, in tbe opinion of your committee, would im? pair tbe usefulness and abridge the powers of the institution to a degree almost rendering tbe charter, when obtained, comparatively val? ueless. The committee, therefore, ask to be discharged from tho said instructions, and re? commend that the bill do pus in its present form. Ordered for consideration to-morrow. Mr. Whitemore, from the Committee on Finance, to whom was referred the joint reso? lution fixing the pay of the solicitors, reported the same back, with a recommendation that the resolution do pass. Ordered for considera? tion to-morrow. Mr. Whittemore, from the same committee, to whom was referred the petition of sundry citizens of Charleston, asking the refunding of certain taxes, reported the same back, with a recommendation, as great difficulty would arise by opening np precedents of such a na? ture, and throw tbe whole matter of revenue into confusion, that the petition bo laid upon the table. Ordered for consideration to-mor? row. The Committee on Public Landa made a fa? vorable report on tbe House resolution provid? ing for the appointment of a committee ' to ascertain, if possible, the precise extent, con? dition and location of lands acquired by the State." Ordered for consideration to-morrow.

TAIN PUBLIC OFFICERS. EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, ) COLUMBIA, August 12, 1868. | Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Senate : I have the honor to return to the Senate, in which itori rinatcd, "An Act to fix the amounts of the official bonds ot certain public officers, und to impose penalties on embezzlements," without my approval, which I am constrained to withhold for thc following reasons : Thc public credit must be guarded at every point. Tho embarrassments encountered in the inauguration of our now State Government will bc best overcome by proceeding in such a manner as to command from the first the con? fidence ot tho capitalists in the financial policy of the State. Any measuro' appearing to countenance a re? laxation of tho precautions with which the State guards ita funds, will impair tho public credit. Such a measure, now tolerated, would bo a blow struck at the financial standing of tho State, ata timo wheu all important considera? tions demand that it should be vigilantly and vigorously upheld. Toredtico, al this time, tho bonds of those to whom the public funds are entrusted for safekeeping, seems to mo dangerous to tho public credit, iilany of tho men whobavo been elected to positious bf trust are new to the pub? lic service. They havo not beon tried. Wo believe they are true men. Those who know them express unqualified confidence in their integrity. But tho peculiar circumstanced in which they arc placed demand that they Bhould furnish the amplest guarantees of their offi? cial rectitude. Tho ability to do this is the only sufficient answer to tue often repeated charge that the partv in power has advanced to positions of responsibility a id trust Uioao who were without respectability and goodstand'ng. in the community. Wore tho question of tho amouut of tho bonds to bo required of public officers a new one, the bill now returned might be unobjectionable. but tho circumstances must be duly weigh? ed, and it cannot bc overlooked thal tho re? duction of these bonds now will be understood and believed to be made to meet iudiv.dual cases of men who were elected with a full knowledgo of the requirements of tho Jaw. Legislation io meet special cases is always ob? jectionable, and the present is probab y a time when more harm will re-.ult from such legis? lation than at any previous moment in our history. It is not pertinent, however, to in quiro particularly what may bo tho individual chancier of the officer and officers who chanc? ed to be personally interested in securing the propoi-ei reduction. Tho Booree of danger is in the principle, and does not rest on personal grounds. Tho prece? dent ia bad. When once wo begin to accom? modate local requirements to suit special cases, th? mischief is douo. In tho cu so of homo of tho officers of coun-. ties, it is understood that a proposiiion ia un? der consideration to diminish the responsibili? ty by assigning part of the duties to other offi? cers. In casca where tho responsibilities may bc thus reduced, the reduction of tho bonds required would not be improper. But, upon a caretul consideration of tho whole subject, and with the deopes; concern for the interests of tho State. I feel compelled to disapprove the aci to reduce thc bonds now required by law of those officers elect, whoso duties and respon? sibilities remain the same as thone of tho pro sent incumbents and their predecessors. The section guarding against embezzlement ot th? public moneys meets my unqualified approval, but I nm compelled,.tor tho reasons above given, to disapprove (he-act as a wliolo. ROBERT K. SCOTT, Governor. The Radical Revolution. THE PURPOSES AND PLANS OP THE BEVLOLUTION ABT LEAD EBB. Senator Garrett Davis, of Kentucky, con? cludes a letter to a political meeting with this vigorous exposure of the plans and purposes of the revolutionists : Twelve months aso General Grant was op? posed to the whole revolutionary conspiracy of Congress, and particularly to its investing the negro population with political power. He then had no sympathy with the revolutionists he condemned their policy and purposes, and they denounced bim. But as it became appa? rent that their mountain of political crime was loo huge for one of the original brother? hood to carry in a Presidential canvass, they got their reluctant consent to make General Grant their candidate for the Presidency They reasoned, that the strength which his bloody laurels gave him with the mnsBes, his comma id of the army as Hie General, Con gresB baviog virtually deposed the President as commander-in-chief, and his co sequent ability to control the whole negr j vote of the Southern States, aided as he would be by the Freedmen's Bureau, would enable them to elect him; his utter ignorance of all states? manship and the aff iirs of the government, would necessarily place bim, if elected, under their pupilage. They concluded he was marvellously proper man for their purposes and they made overtures that he should be come thei&candidate for the Presidency, and Grant felLoe did the angels of heaven-by the ein of ambition-and consented to become the Presidenti il candidate of the revolutionists. All the States are entitled to choose an ag? gregate of three hundred and seventeen Pres? idential electors. The whole number of the ten Southern States is seventy; and the revolution? ists expect their elections to be so controlled that the negro vote will choose them, and all for Grant. Ono hundred and fifty-nine elec? tors would be a majority of the whole num? ber, and would elect a President. The revo lutionary leaders boldly proclaim that Seymour may receive one hundred and fifty-eight elec? toral votes, all chosen by white men and the State governments of white men, and Grant have but eighty-nine electors chosen by white men and their governments; yet, if he receives the seventy electoral votes from the ten negro governments of the Southern States, he shall be inaugurated into the office ot President at the canon'a mouth. Then, not the conetitu tiona! constituency would make the President of the United States, but the negroes, the army, and Gen. Grant wonld make himself President in defiance of the constitution, and would move over its broken fragments to in? vest him, not with the first office of a free peo? ple, bnt with the American people. The revolution then sweepB on, but it is not yet accomplished, and will not be until Gen. Grant is carried through the mockery of an election, and installed into the office of Presi? dent. He will then be Imperator and sway an empire, but because ot his own ignorance, necessarily by pimps and parasites. Con? gress, like the Senate of Borne, will become but an effigy; the real centre of power will be CeBsar, Imperator: and when he is incompe? tent, but has a Sejanus for his favorite, Hejan? us will rule in fact. When Gen. Grant is thus elected and inaugurated President, then will the revolution of our government be complete and permanent, and along, dismal night of des? pot! sm brood over our country. The defeat of that election and inauguration will not only arrest the revolution, but defeat it forever, in what portends to be the day of its final tri? umph, and to restore to our whole people their constitution and Uberties. The greatest, holi? est service that a true patriot can render bis country is, to une all the means in bis power to prevent the revolutionists from completing their work, by such nn election of Grant to the Presidency: and 3,000,000 of white patriotic freemon will give their "lives, their fortunes and their sacied honor" to the performance of this duty, important beyond all estimate. Thaddeus Stevens. ms LAST nouns-A QUIET SCENE-A SISTER OF CHARITY ADiONISTEa-i THE BAPTISMAL BITE LAST CONVERSATION OP MB. STEVENS-HIS INTEREST IN : OLtTICS UNABATED. [From the Wuh.rgton Chronicle of Wednesday.] Hon. Thad ' us Stevens died at precisely twelve o'clock last nicht, at his residence m this city, cn Capitol H.H. Simon Stevens, Thaddeus Stevens, Jr., a nephew, end his housekeeper, Mrs. Smith, were at his bedside. Also, Sister Loretta and Sister Genevieve, of Providence Hospital, and Mr. J. Scott Patter? son, of tho Interior Depart meut, and the ser? vants of bis household. Breathing his last, be passed away calmly and quiety,' without a struggle, as though falling asleep. The death of Mr. Stevens at any hour since Sunday last, when he suffered a relapse, was not unlooked tor by the members of bis house? hold. Last evening, at about nino o'clock, his attendant physician, Dr. Noble Young, called to pay hm a professional visit, and at once discovered that the old man's life was rapidly drawing to a close. He so informod the iminodi ate friends - f Mr.Stevens, who was then too weak to give expression to his feelings. That he was fully prepared for the great change there is no doubt, for he had long been aware of the frail tenure by which ho held his life. Yesterday he remarked to those around him that he was rapidly sinking, and had no hope of evor re? suming his accustomed seat m the capitol. Ho conversed with great cheerfulness and ani nv iou, talking on a variety of ordinary topics, and evincing a lively interest ia that which in? terested those around him. In conversation with Mr. Simon Stevens, about the same time, he roforred to Mr. Evarts, Attorney-General, in terms of marked kindness and confidence. Ho continued to grow Ibeblor during tho afternoon, and at about four o'clock P. M. ho lost tho power of speech, ?ind from that timo lay quietly without giving any indications of suffering. About ten minutes before bia death, Sister Loretta requested the permission ot bis friends io perform tho bap? tismal rito, and no objec ion being offered, the ceremony was performed amid impressive si? lence. To ber who performed it this act un? doubtedly appeared one of great importance, and the earnest and affectionate devotion with which it was done strongly affected those who witnessed it, even those holding a different faith from hers. It is worthy of note that the sisters whose benevolent, works bad been so heartily seconded by the great deported in fur? nishing aid and leudiug bis legislative efforts in behalf of the institution to which they are attached, (Providence 'Ho?pital,) visited him daily daring his illness. The Coming Circular of Instructiqn&to the Southern CommnmUrs. i!*; A Washington telegram to the New York Horald says : From the frequent visits made by Secretary Schofield to the White House within the last two or three days it is inferred that he has something gravitating upon bis mind ol' a moro serious and perplexing character than any of tho knotty points i l recoustrution he had to deal with in tho Old Dominion. Every day since the Cabinet session of Friday last, Sunday not excepted, tho Secretary of War has been closeted with tho Presi? dent. This unusual display of restless? ness and anxiety on tho part of the General is explained by those who are in positions that enable thom to learn something of ms official occupations as arising from the delicate nature of tho instructions ho is preparing for tho guidance of department commanders. Those instructions, it is said, are to bc given to each commander, ami aro to cover all futuro COBOS of applications by Governors for military aid. Thc Secretary will have tho order prepared in season to submit it tu the President at tho next meeting of tho Cabi? net. As the instructions in question, uceording to report, are intended to confide io the keep? ing of military r Airers tho authority hitherto exercised in "time of peace by tue Executive only, "and as pno commander will probably shaw 'greater' "willingness to grant military assistance on the slightest intimation from a gubernatorial carpet-ban-ger than another, owing to the difference of political opinions existing aniung our present department com? manders, a rule that will restrain one from too prompt compliance and oblige another to respond when necessity demands it, is very difficult to hit upon. Department commanders, it is undeistuod, will be di? rected .ocoiue to thc aid of Governors ol'States when called upon, under certain conditions, which are to bo speckled in the circular. These conditions are designed to prevent tho co-operation of Rovernor and military com? mander in enforcing upoa the poople any un just and unlawful measure, and one of them is said to be that the support of the United States army shall only be accorded to Gover? nors of States, with the approval of the Secre? tary of War. Tour correspondent bas it on reasonable good authority that the foregoing are the main features of the circular in its present inchoate form, and they will doubtless be found in the instructions when issued, although many modifications of the details may be made in consequence of the delibera? tions of the Cabinet upon the question on Tuesday. Thc McCarthy Cotton Gin. After running a United States patent term of fourteen years, and extension of seven more, and still seven years more added to that, it will be eeon by the annexed correspondence that the McCarthy Gin is at this late day charged with an infringement on a patent of re? cent date. There is no doubt that this aotion is taken to inj ure the sale of this gin and ad? vance the interest of the other, but, like many efforts of a similar nature, it is more than likely this charge will have the contrary effect, as it cannot be sustained, and only serves as an opportunity to call the attention of planters to the fact that the McCarthy Gin is still the best gin made for long colton, and can be furnish? ed in this city, Savannah, Ga., Fernandina and Jacksonville, Fla., for $110 cash, while the gin which it is said to infringe is sold for more than twice that amount, and we are sure that a trial of tho two will provo that tho McCarthy will gin more cotton in the same time and do it better.

We will continue, as heretofore, to sell the gins, or any part of same, the only difference being a redaction of price to $110 instead of $120. Very respectfully, yours, JOHN W. ANDERSON'S SONS & CO. COPY. SAVANNAH, July 20,1868.-MB. WM. M. LAW? TON, Charleston, S. C.-Dear Sir : I found in Messrs. Anderson's Sons & Co. a McCarthy gin, with concave for roller to run in, which is an infringement on Osgood's patent. I am ordered to notify you that you will be prevent? ed from using the same, as it is a clear in? fringement on Osgood's paten*. Please take notice that legal proceedings will be commenc? ed against you and Mr. Henerey, the builder, if iou offer anymore in the market, and will ave to pay a bonus for what you have sold already, with that improvement. Below you will find a legal notice forbidding any one selling a gin with the above infringement. Respectfully yours, Ac., (Signed) CHARLES VAN HORN. CHARLESTON, S. C., July 23,1868.-Mr. CHAS. YAN HOHN, Savannah -Dev Sir: I am in re? ceipt of your communication of the 20th inst., informing me that I was clearly infringincr over Osgood's patent, a circumstance not before presented to my thought; for until the receipt of your circular card about the Osgood Cotton Gin, which you were goodenough to send me, 1 was not aware that your price was two hundred and twenty-five dollars for a gin. I can't say positively, but as a practical planter, who once used Henerey a McCarthy Gm, I think I can say that at the prie? I sell his as agent, viz.: ono hundred and ten dollars, I can do more work with it per day, in. cleaning sea island cotton, than any other gin can which has yet been test d. You arc under homo delusion Qr error, ao Mr. Henerey Informs me, in a letter of the 22d instant, in reply to your*, which I ha.ve for? warded to my friends, Messrs. John W. An? derson's Sons & Co., who aro authorized to sell as many of Henerey's Gins as they may have orders for, notwithstanding your throat of "legal proceedings." Your obedient servant. W. M. LAWTON, Factor, of Charleston. CHARLESTON, S. C., July 22,1868.-Mr. Wm. M. Lawton-Dear Sir: Tho letter of Mr. Chas. Van Horn to you in relation toan infringement ( f my Gins on his "Oagood'a .Patent" is before me, and contents noted. So far from fearing any action at law in re? gard to this matter, I would invite tho same. I navo in my possession so much proof of tho concave plate being used prior to any date of patent right obtained by Dr. Osgood, that the result of a suit would rather turn upon Osgood, and show very clearly that the idea of said con? cave plate was long known to me, for be saw it in use while on a visit to my establishment some years since, and it had been used by me long befo#o ho obtained his "letters patent." You can say to your agencies that th jy need not fear any attack upon "Henerey'a McCarthy Gins " with concave steel plates. They will still be manufactured as they have been for tho past fifteen years, without regard to Osgood's Gm. ^_ Yours, very respectfully, WILLIAM 8. HENESSY. RADICAL OUTBADE IS WILMINGTON, N. C_ The Wilmington Journal, of yesterday, gives the following account of a negro Radical out? rage in that city : The Democratic Cluo were m session at thoirclubroom, on Market-street, perfecting their arrangements previous to tho departure of our delegates for Raleigh the next morning. A beautiful transparency, in? tended to be taken with them to Raleigh, wau rn front of tho hall, and this, it seems, excited tho ire of sonic of I ho nr groes of tho Radical party. About ten o'clock, under the escort of a"small number of gentlemen, this trans? parency was moved off for the railroad, but had not proceeded far bofore those with it were beso t by a dense throng of negro men and boys, and a shower of stones was launched at them, by which two gentlemen of the patty were seriously injured. The escort Kept on steadily, until at length the assault was ren? dered loo severo for endurance, when they gained the shelter of a house. The negroes still continuing to press upon thom a pistol was discliargcdin the air above thom by one of those present, and tho desired effect waa pro? duced; tho assailants were dispersed, numbers of them taking to their heels. The transpa? rency was then carried to the depot, and no fui ther molestation wes offered the party. The negaoes in tho assaulting crowd on that occa? sion could not have been loss than one hundred and fifty, while those who were attacked were uot more than seven or eight in number.
