CITY AFFAIRE. THE CITY SPEAKS ! GREAT POPULAR DEMONSTRATION,] . POR REFORM. CHARLESTON INVITES HER SISTER COUN? TIES TO JOIN THE MOVEMENT. APPOINTMENT OP DELEGATES TO THE JUSTE CON"VECITION. STIRRING SPEECHES JSY WHITE AND COLORED MEN. Great Enthusiasm A Grand Maas Meeting of the friendo of Re? trenchment and Reform was held at thc Hiber? nian Hall last night, In accordance with the nu merouslj signed call published in the dally pa? cers on Friday morning last. There was no mis? understanding tbe language of tho call. It was a movement of the whole people lu the cause or an honest and able government. There was no distinction of class or condition, no talking about dead Issues or a mournful past. For this reason the call struck the public ear, and men who had never before taken any part in politics, quite thoughtful citizens, determined that they would, for tht s once, attend a Mass Meeting and give countenance by their presence to the noble movement of All Honest Men against Roguery and Theft. Early yesterday morning lt was rumored that orders had been received from Columbia to gag tbe meeting at all hazards, and this tidings, Oasbhfg through the city, caused the people to shake off their apa;by and turn out lu force. As soon as che gates were opened the crowd began to flock into the hall. They came in tens and fifties and hundreds, and by the time that the proceedings began the hall was packed and crammed with palpitating Reformers. Nor was the crowd satisfied with filling the hall. Eager listeners stood on the broad stairways, thronged the corridors, and *cjre scattered over the steps outside the building. Hundreds wh?> came a little late found no standing room Inside the building and went away disconsolate. * For the flrat time in Charleston the wealth and the mechanical skill, and tie muscular strength, and the honest intelligence of the white people of South Carolina, were joined to the force and ener? gy aid influence of our colored fellow-cftizens. Republicans and Democrats, natives and adopt? ed citizens, white men and black men. sate to? gether in mass meeting, considering for the good, notofelassor party, but of the whole people The platform wits broad enough to hold all honest ny, and handsomely was lt filled last night Prominent among those who were present were several notorious agitators, who did their level best to excite a disturbance. While one of the colored speakers waa addressing the meeting, these partisans or Scott began to hiss and stamp; hut the firmness or the speaker, and the energetic action of the chair, added to the unmistakable determination of the vast majority of the meeting to see Fairplay, brought the Scott faction to their senses. They did not again dare to Interfere with the proceedings. The stage, as well as the body or the hall, was crowded. There sate some of our staunokest citi? zens, the vice-presidents and secretaries, both white and colored, showing by their conduot their hearty acquiescence In the purpose or the gather? ing. Indeed, the meaning or the xrhole Meeting was a union of all honest mea, Irrespective of class, color or party, for the parp?se of obtaining forsooth Carolina some relief from the myriad troubles we are new called on to bear. The Proceedings. At about half-past 8 o'clock, Mr. H. B. Olney called the meeting to order, and moved that Cap? tain George H. Walter take the chair. This mo? tion was unanimously adopted.

My FeXtow-CUizens-U ever there was a time in the history of South Carolina when tho best ener? gies of the people should be put forth in the con? test* about to be w aged-a contest of law, order and good government against the corruption, Sronlgacy and extravagance which now run riot i the land, from the mountains to the seaboard-^ that time is the present. [Applause.] If there ever was a period whea the energy of every citizen should be employed in stamping with .the mark of Indignation tho course of those who now, control the State, that period is the pre? sent. The hour has come when every man, how? ever humble, must work-work for bis own salva? tion-work for the interest of his fellow-men-' work for the welfare of tbe State. I gratefully accept the position you have as? signed me to-night, and pledge my hearty and cordial co-operation in carrying this great move? ment forward to a successful termination. [Ap pla use.] Fellow-cltlzens, this is not the hour to talk about parties. The avalanche ls upon ns. lt threatens to eneulf the people, and he who sits tamtfy down and rolds his arms, deserves to be overwhelmed and sunk in oblivion. Talk about party when the water ls on the deck, or criticise with smile or sneer those who are at the pumps In this hour of danger-why, my friends, lt is worse than rolly ; it ls criminal. [Applause.] I call upon you, therefore, to assist us in or? ganizing the great movement to be Inaugurated to-night. Remember that the State is In danger; the contest ls upon us, and we cannot stop to scrutinize the mere uniform of men. If they be true-ir they be faithful-ir they be honest-ir they be engaged In fighting the common enemy let us cling to them like brothers, and together as one phalanx move forward In this great and glo? rious work. To you, my colored rellow-cltlzens, I have a lew words to say. This Issue ls presented to you as lt is to us. Like ourselves you are taxpayers and laborers.. Yonr earnings are filched and wrenched from you to support those who riot lu luxury, and we ask yon to come forward and help us in tho work of reform. What your party affiliations may be we care not. We look upon you simply In the light or fellow-cltlzens, Interested like ourselves m the welfare of the people, and believe that you "ecognlze the Importance of this movement, not In Its political aspects, but simply as a struggle between right and wrong, trutk and falsehood, honesty and corruption. When the fight ls over lt will be time enough to talk about other Issues. Kow, the State ls in danger: let us save the State: SGreat cheering.] And unless we do save the Rate, there will be rnln, ruin, ruin, to you and to me. Let us, then, move forward together, ave, shoulder to shoulder, In this great cause, stopping only to feel the touch of the elbow as we bend our common purposes to a common achievement. [Applause.] So far as I am concerned, I know no party affil? iation, and whoever may be the man chosen at Columbia to carry our Gubernatorial standard, I care not whether he be a Republican or a Demo? crat, If he be a true, an honest man, he Bhall have my conscientious and hearty support. [Immense cheering.] Itgankyou for the patience with which you baveJwtened to me, and declare this meeting or? ganized and readx for business. . .OMKtTTSK OK NOMINATIONS.

This ls the condition or i that should prevail in every country whii pends for law, peace and order upon a gow eminent.

[Moro cheering.] I may "hesite forming an opinion, but when once it has I shape, I am thc last man to abandon the s ard I have f laute ?. And .! say to-night, fr; and boldly, io this immense audience of ni low-citizens, that the hour has come when hooves ns to look neither to the past nor t present save for the purpose or choosing among ns, In whom we can confide the desi of the State, as qualified and honest men. pinnae.] It ls not lo ag ago that In another place pressed the belief that there was hop? South Carolina. I still entertain that belier, men who were born upon her soil and breathed her balmy air. will be true to her, i ever may be their condition or complexion. 1 ls something in the old State, I know not whi it ls in the associations of the historio palm or tn the memories of his youth, which clin the South Carolinian wherever he may roam, he turns with fondues to the hour when his may once more presa the sea beach, or sandy And so in political life, however much he wander from, the interests or his people, he in the end, return, and with them enjov thee logs or a common vetrare. One word more. It seems to me that if movement ls to be successful we must tool yond the narrow limits of this meeting, must go forth into the broad State in whlcl live, we must meet our citizens from the mi tains and ask them to co-operate with m electing to office men Irrespective of raci color, and lu securing to all the fullest ec ment of civil and political liberty. We must c bine, consult and determine upon the coun action we shs.ll pursue. To this end I beg le to Introduce the.followlng resolution. Resolved, That we Invite our fellow-citizen send representatives from their respective c< ties to the State Convention, which assemble Columbia on 15th June next,in order that the pc then adopted ror accomplishing the great wor Retrenchment and Reform may be carrie-! with harmony and with energy by all good zens. And I earnestly believe [resumed Mr. MU that when the people or the state respond to Invitation we have extended, the day will no far distant when we shall secure for South Ci Una a good and true government. We have men among ns capable or guiding helm or the State, and under them we need fear that the Constitution or the State will c be debilitated, or th: pulse so rapid as to reqi the manipulations or an Ohio doctor. [Laugti and cheers.] I say again, and In conclusion, that the hou not Tar distant when her own citizens will ada Ister the public affairs or South Carolina, t every man, rich and poor, will enjoy the blessli of a pure government, and be rewarded acco lng to his merits, ror that which he contribute: the common stock or usefulness. [Cheers ] The question being on the adopotlon or the solution offered by Mr. Mikell, lt was unanlmo y decided In the affirmative. Loud cans now being made for R. S. Brui Ssq., who was on the platform, he responded olio ws : SPF.I CU OF R. S. BRUNS, ESO.*. Mr. ChaU~nwn and Gentlemen-I am glad th the mist and clouds which, like a funeral pall, ht Overhung this old Commonwealth of ours for many years, are at last to be dispelled, and th the sun of prosperity may once more shine In pristine glory upon a redeemed State. I reel, s that this night 1B to be memorable In our history; for before me are the hi and the low, the rich and the poor, t Democrat or the past and the sturdy Republic: af the present, determined, as I believe, iienctfc ward to move together in a common cause, a Intent upon the one patriotic purpose or securl: to South Carolina an honest administration or 1 public affairs. [Great applause.] We are not he to send delegates to Coluinola to meet there convention and nominate this man. or th man, because he was born for office, b to choose "the right man in the right place [Cheers and cries ol "that's so."] In selectli those delegates we have drawn no party linc and recognized no party Issues. They represe every?class and condition or society In the City Charleston-the merchant, the working man; tl colored citizen-all classes, conditions and pr resslons, and they wlU meet In caucus thc upon a platform sufficiently broad, to hold the all, to devise means to rid us of the onerous bu dens by which we are oppressed. The cry taxation! taxation! From the mountains to tl seaboard it tills the air. What we wear ls taxe what we eat ls taxed, what we drink ls taxe and when we die, the very nails In our coffin a taxed. I know or no theme more appalling, am IT the present condition or affairs continues I exist, I know or no rate that Providence has i store, but departure rrom the land or our blrtl or a grave In Rs soil. [Applause.] The State or South Carolina after the war had debt or but six millions of dollars. To-day it nearly fifteen millions, and increasing. Wh: people can stand such an Increase of public Hi bilit les as that ? We are peaceful and law-abldlnj but there ls one way In which to wtn this flgh and that 1?, nut by force or arms, but by force c reason. Go to the polls and deposit your vote for the best men, Irrespective or race, coloro previous condition. In whose honesty you hav confidence. Let these representatives take thel place upon the floor or the Legislature, nomiuat a chief magistrate who will carry out the law there made, and then, with a union or hearts am a union or hands, we can mo va forward In th achievement ol' a prosperity, financial and pout I cal, to which South Carolina has been a strange for years. [Cheers.] Mr. John F. Britton now being called upon, ad vanced to the front or the platform and deiiveret the following address: SPEECH OF KR. JOHN' F. BRITTON. Fellotc-Cttlzens- It ls with diffidence, especially alter the remarks whick have preceded me, tha I appear before you; but believing that no cltizet of this Commonwealth, however humble or re Urea, should remain silent on an occasion Uki the present, I om here to aid, by my presenci and counsels, In this great movement for Reform It is needless to enter luto detall or the varloui causes, so well understood, which demand thai the people should rise in their might, and sweet trom power those who are now mlsadministering oar affairs. Usurpation or power, by unprlnci pied men, has divested this State ol her rights ?rime goes unpunished, and a premium, so te speak, ls offered to every species or vlllany; cr:m Inals are let loose upon the community, and a to tal disregard ol law and order prevails; men have been placed in position,totally regardless or quali? fication or honesty; those who hp.ve been dele? gated with the power to try crim Mais, would be better suited with the latter appellation; the sure road to success among the dominant faction is total Ignorance and complete worthlessness; and this gathering to-night manifests the spirit, that the seaboard, in answer to the mountain districts, responds to the determination that our affairs BhaU be characterized by honesty and a proper regard for the public welfare. The citizens or Charleston, Irrespective or for? mer views and tendencies-losing sight or caste, color or condition, here show by tnelr comming? ling that past differences have been burled, and rrom hence, laying aside all that might tend to mar the success or chis movement,- eschewing aU issues that may Jeopardize the public weal, ac? tuated alone by that which will be for the good of the people-the whole people-have met to take counsel. In being thus brought to? gether, we will not question whether a man has been a Radical, Whig or Democrat, or any other name which might have been chosen; but the matter for consideration now ls, shall the evils of which we complain be remedied-shall there be an abatement or the excessive taxation, which ls crushing ont our very existence, and must finally end In driving us rrom this spot that we all love so well? These are the subjects which shonld claim and receive our attention, and the bending ol our efforts to the selection or those who shaU give us aa honest government. The large assemblage here congregated ls evidence that the people or this good old city are alive to this Issue, and will force an abatement or the evils or which we com? plain. To the workingmen or this community, and the entire State or South Carolina, this sub? ject addresses Itseir with pecu?ar force; for by a burdensome taxation the labor or the country will bo forced to seek another channel; and that which should be used to th?, advantage or this Commonwealth, will be directed to the advance? ment ol othar sections. To you, I say, ls accorded the privilege or aiding In wresting rrom the hands or the plunderers the possessions which they have acquired by fraud and deception 1 To y oar aid and co-operation in thia mo vern ea signed the noble duty of reinstating Caro her prestige of eld ! Being or tbls claf not pandering as the demagogue-with n< nor views, I reel that In thus appealing t that you will not allow any dissensions to v?neto distract your deliberations, and waru you against those who design to.dlvld energies rot- self aggrandizement. . To our colored citizens let me remark, will he urged by the opponents or the F Movement that this is thc manoeuvring sigulng men; that, once in power, they w rrand yon or those rights which have been a ed to you; that every pledge made by the f: or Rerorm will be broken, when they hu talned success. They have urged and conxii urce this doctrine, and would not falter a thing to aid them In their false assertion: act. that is mean and low, have they avoir! create discord between the two classes-no too despicable have they left untried, that' aid them in despoiling and traducing. But have they, with all of their boasted phllantr, done for the colored man? They have laid to all Of<iie offices of prout within your ein but one or two instances can show that tl ored branch of their party have been rew? tor their steadfast adherence. But as we i here to night, we avowedly acknowledge the oraiimento office-the only reservation that or honesty and capacity. Have the Rai gone as far as this? As far as mords go, have; but have they put their assertlone practice* They think that the colorea m amply repaid by the une of tho ballot, and consequently, he has no further claim upon t To you. theii. we say, you have trusted us 1 past, and our actions have always followed I cordance with our utterances. We appeal ti to lend your efforts to this movement. Ol tercsts are Identical, ir adversity attends roust In like manner affect you; IT iirosperit company ns. in like manner are you parti tors. Aid us in this movement, and give tl to those who would have yon believe tba whiteman of this section is your enemy. L move hand lu hand, and redeem our State the clutches or the vandals who have desp these lair lands. But. fellow-citizens, I need not claim yon tentlon at greater length. Let us work as a for the success of these measures for Retre ment and Reform; and when the time com choose candidates for the rall elections, le motto be "Honesty;" and, combining all means within our reach, and with the sad les that have been taught for the last four 01 years, victory will attend our efforts, und p and prosperity again take up their abode au onr people. In conclusion, fellow citizens, Charles through her people, calls upon each county t represented at the June Convention. We wi urge upon all the penetrating of every rece go into the highways; ring In the ears of the va es the corruption which prevails-do not st; Mlcawber like, "walting tor something to i up.'' To you, workingmen, or nil classes, i chant, lawyer, doctor, or whatever calllnj which you belong, we appeal, to give yoar ai remove the crushing evils with which we are rounded; and the time will surely come, w memory refers to your efforts toward this mi ment, that y?u will regard lt with feelings or i tltlcatlon, that yon have aided in removing on the most corrupt governments with which a . pie have been cursed.

THE FARMERS TO DK ACOOMHOIUTED THIS YEAR.-lu another column will bc found the an? nouncement of the appointed sailing days for the splendid iron steamships Tennessee .and South Carolina, for New. York. To accommodate the truck farmers, the owners of this Une have con? sented to dispatch their steamers, for a limited number or trips, on Tuesdays, thus securing a delivery in New York ou Fridays in ample time for thc transfer or vegetables to all the neighbor? ing markets by Saturday morning, which i.s said to be thc great market day North. Passengers from interior points will note the temporary change of sailing days, for thc attractions ou these steamships arc becoming generally known. A stnteroom on deck, with lorty celling and thorough ventilation, and a promenade deck two hundred and odd feet in length, are sufficient to attract Tull passenger lists, and we learn at the agency that letters rrom distant interior cities are being received already, for the South Caro? lina or 24th, and Tennessee of 31st Instant.
