This must have been the original pie commemorated in the'nursery rhyme. -J?x-President Andrew Johnson made a speech at Gallatin, Tennessee, on the 17th in? stant, to a large audience. He briefly reviewed his career since the commencement of the war. He maintained his consistency, and claimed that he had acted uniformly for the. good of the whole country. He referred to the principles en which the Federal Govern? ment was organized, and declared that they had been subverted since the war. He said he had always been a Democrat; he was elected vice-President as a Union Democrat, and he had not and would not swerve from the true faith. He condemned the recent State Con? vention for Ignorance. He then read a resolu? tion, adopted by the State Convention, favor? ing the restoration of the Southern States to their rlght3 as the sovereign f tates of the American Union, and said lt was secession and a revolution in disguise, and admonished the people against 'repeating the errors of the past civil strife. He recommended a close alliance with the National Democracy, and a choice of Governor, membefs of Congress and the Leg? islature free from suspicion of secession. He condemned the State Convention for not dis? claiming secession, and suggested the holding of a primary meeting to exhibit the tone of the State of Tennessee on the subject. He ciosed wit . an appeal for prudence and discretion, to keep off Reconstruction and military rule. The Blooily Programme. The diabolical programme of the Scott party is to be carried out to the bitter end. On yesterday, THE VERY DAY DESIGNATED FOR BEGINNING THE BLOODY WORK, disturb? ances are reported to have taken place in Laurens and in Newberry. Large bodies of armed men were in the field: and a sanguin I ary collisiou between the whites and blacks was momentarily expected. Two negroes are said to have been killed, and the eflort will be made, a3 directed in the Confidential Circular, to cast the whole blame upon the whites. Heartily^ glad are we that tho whites are armed and ready. In their ability, as well as willingness, to defend themselves, lies their only hope and ours. The Confidential Circular is no hoax. Its absolute truth, a3 an expression of the pur? poses of the Scott pirty, i3 proved by the events of yesterday. How to Ensure a Pair Election. T:ie State elections ol October 19 will be held under the General Election law, approv? ed March 1, 1370. That law authorizes the Governor to appoint three commissioners of elections for each county, which commission? ers designate the precincts, and appoint three managers of elections for each pre? cinct in the county for which they are ap? pointed. The managers are required to de? liver the poll lists, and the boxes containing the ballots, to the respective commissioners of elections within three days after the day of election. These remain in the keeping of the commissioners until the Tuesday follow? ing the election, when the commissioners count the vote of each precinct. Within ten days from this time thc commissioners must make a statement of the result For ten days, therefore, tbe ballot-boxes, and the poll lists, are In the exclusive cus? tody of the commissioners of elections. These commissioners can, if they choose, so manipulate the ballots a3 to elect, or defeat, whom they please. Their opportunity for fraud and trickery is as complete as the most venal politician eau desire. Nor has any pains been taken to appoint, as com? missioners, those men only who enjoy the contidence ol both political parties. Gover? nor Scott, to the best of our knowledge, has picked up his commissioners without regard to their intelligence or their trustworthi? ness. The fruits of months of labor, the destiuiea of South Carolina, are in the keep iug of a body of mee whose chief, if not only, qualification i3 a blind devotion to the interests of Scott aud his Ring. This ?3. the position of affairs, and it is one which causes grave uneasiness to all who desire, as we do, a peaceful aud fair election. The Reform party are prepared to abide by the verdict of the Gr?nd Jury of the people. If the Reformers are fairly and squarely beaten they will stand it like men, but they I do not mean to be cheated out of their vic? tory, by: election conimissionera or any other of Scott'3 officials. Thi3 feeling la doubtless entertained by many of the more decent members of the Scott party. But whether it i3 or not, we have the right to demand, in behalf of the Union Reform party, that all reasonable security be-given that the elec? tion shall be .fair,, and that the vote shall be fairly counted and reported., Governor Scott flatly declined to appoint one commissioner in each county from the ranks of the Re? form party. This, in itself, suggests an in? tention to tamper with the vote. From Scott, however, we expect no redre=3. Whatever consideration and fair dealing we receive mu3t come from men who have more liberali? ty and more sagacity than are possessed by Governor Scott. Unless the Scott party have formed a de I liberate pian to elect, by fraud, their own candidates, under the convenient cover of the election law; unless they are systemati? cally insincere in their published desire that the election be conducted fairly and justly, they must be willing to meet the Reform party half-way in the effort so to manage the canvassing of the vote at the State elections, that the rights of both partie3 shall be fully protected. No such protection is found in the election law. That law enables the electiou commissionera to elect whom they please. These commissioners muat be hedged about, and fenced in, or we cannot be sure of having a fair count ol the voto. But, by matual consent, a plan can be adopted which will make the assurance of the honest Scottitcs doubly 3ure, and will, at the 3ame time, satisfy the Reformers. That plan is, for the Executive Committees of the Reform The Plan Proposed. and Radical patties to select, for-each' pre cinct in each county, two responsiblecitizens from among the members of their party, who, as a joint committee of four, shall stay with the ballot-boxes from the time thal the first vote is petted until the vote Us finally I canvassed by Hie commissioners. Each county committee would appoint its own committees of two. There could be no collu? sion. Indeed, "we cannot see why any fair minded man should object to a proposition which puts both sides upon an equal footing, and secures to both au honest declaration of a peaceful election. This proposition has already been submit? ted to Mr. Alonzo J. Ransier, who, although the candidate of the Radical party for Lieu tenant-Governor, expressed his perfect wil? lingness to give it his assent and support. Mr. Ransier is the chairman of the State Executive Committee of the Radical party, and authorizes us to say that he desire3, above all things, a fair and impartial elec? tion, and that be is ready to urge and ad? vise the adoption of the protective plan here described. Thi3 laudable evidence of a libe? ral spirit will not be forgotten. Thirding for Blood. The confidential circular of the chiefs of the Scott party, printed in another column, discloses a plot so monstrous as to be.whol ly incredible if it came from a band of ad. venturers less unscrupulous and less crimi? nal than those who now grow sleek and fat upon the spoils of the people. But the men who violate their official oaths, who scofl at honor and virtue, who foment strife and strive to bring about a war of races, who are struggling to snvo themselves from thc penitentiary or the shadow of the gallows, would willingly sacrifice the lives of "a score "of their prominent leaders," if tho bloody offering would ensure them immunity for the past and license in the future. The watch? word of Reform stirs the hearts and quickens the pulses of all honest citizens. Already the prospects of Scott grow desperate. Un? less the tide can be made to roll back, the reign of corruption will end on the third Wednesday in October. The Radical weap? ons cannot dint the armor of Reform. Threats will not close the mouths of a people who cry aloud for an honest administration. ? Winchester rifles have no terrors for the old Boldiers of the South. There is but one j chance for the Scott Ring. If they can, at any-cost, unite the blacks against the whites, anti set the mark of Caiu upon the Reform? ers' brow, the bright pageant of harmony and truth will fade away, and victory will be possible once more to the foe of purity and worth. This is the object of the confidential circu? lar, to which are attached the initials of the names of B. F. Whitlemore, Comptroller General Neagle, and Treasurer Niles G. Par? ker. This circular deliberately proposes the murder of a score of colored men, that the cause of the Scott Ring may be saved. And there is nothing in the record of that Ring to indicate that its members are incapable of concocting the diabolical plot which is laid bare to-day. Every murdered col? ored man, by whomever killed, would, be worth a thousand votes. to Scott The Re? formers have treated their adversaries with all tho dignity compatible with the inde? cency ot their subject, and they have given the colored people an earnest of their kind? ness and good faith. Nothing in the way of violence was to be expected from the Re? formers. But blood must bo shed. And the confidential circular proposes to slay more colored men, as Randolph was slain, that the party of corruption and shame may be saved from extinction. A3'we have said, the proposition to slay these inoffensive colored men, in order that Scott and his Ring may prosper and live, is well uigh too monstrous for belief. Yet, it is not more monstrous than the extrava? gance and deception of South Carolina Radi? calism. A Word to the County Committees. We suggest that the Executive Commit? tees of the Union Reform party in the dif? ferent counties put themselves in communi? cation at once with the Executive Commit? tees of the Radical party, for the purpose of ascertaining whether the latter will ogree to the Appointment of a joint committee, con? sisting of two members from each party, for every election precinct, which committee shall remain with the ballot boxes from the opening of the polls until the vote is finally canvassed. This, without interfering in any way with the managers or commissioners of elections, would make it impossible for any one to perpetrate a fraud upon the voters of the State. Mr. Ran3ier, the chairman of the State Executive Committee, authorizes the publication of the statement that he thinks thi3 proposition fair and just, and we presume that there will be no difficulty in making the arrangement. We shall be glad to hear the result of the conference between the several committees. : ORANQEBURG Cotrirrvbas been deemed one ofta? Radical strongholds, but at the joint political discussion on Mou dav, at laast fif? teen hundred persons being present, not a single cheer was given for R. K. Scott. Judge Carpenter was vociferously cheered, but the name of Scott fell as dead a3 a door nail. PERHAPS the Orangeburg voters begin to see that they are good enough to vote for lt. K. Scott, but not good enough to hear him speak. That felicitj is reserved for the Washington politicians, .before whom Scott yells for Winchester rifles, and denounces thi3 State as a nest of assassins. NEAOLE, Whitemore and Parker are re? quested to deny at once all knowledge of the sanguinary 3??cret circular signed J. L. N., B. F. W. and N. G. P. This is the pro? per and usual thing to do.

See extract from certificate of analysis by Prof. Stillman, State Chemist, of Connecticut: "I have carefully examined the sample of 'Cen? tury White Wheat Whiskey.' In color, taste and odor, this liquor ls without fault. It is entirely free from any deleterious substance whatever. The absence of ail trace of lead, and of other poisonous or hurtful nunga lu lt, ls absolute.

The CENTURY WHITE WHEAT BOURBONS are most carefully distilled from selected stock, after which they are stored away in charred bar? rels until lt reaches a certain age, when it ls re? distilled by a peculiar process which extracts the Fusil Oils and other deleterious substances inher? ent in all whiskies, and leaves lt a perfectly pure Whiskey. After this it ia stored away to ripen and mellow with age, which it does In a much greater degree than any whiskey can which ls not similarly treated. The older grades of CENTURY BOURBONS (XXX and XXXX) challenge compari? son with regularly distille J whiskies or any age or price.
