There was n very largo turn-out of the people of Chester District, on Monday-the largest that ire have seen for years. It is very evident that, atlast, our people aro thorough? ly aroused and alive to tho impor? tance of tho situation. We have never seen so much earnestness and unanimity iu the white population. It was expected that General Wade Humptou, of this State, and ex Governor Vance, of North Carolina, would address us on that day, and much disappointment was felt by reason of their non-attendance. Tho Court House was too small to hold the crowd, which adjourned to Mrs. Woods' grove. The Committee of Arrangements, not anticipating so many people, hadnotmadeBuitable arrangements, but soou extemporized a stand for the speakers. Chas. S. Brice, the Chairman of tho Committee appointed at the lust meeting for the nomination of of? ficers, ?c., and drafting ot a plat? form, mado his report. The platform is too long for repetition here. It embodies all that we wish in the coming canvass. The following gentlemen were unanimously confirmed by the meet? ing as officers of the Central Demo? cratic Club of Chester District. President-Gen. W. A. Walker. vice-Presidents-Maj. J. G. Lowry, John W. Durham, Esq., Johu C. McFadden, Esq., Joseph Wylio, Esq., Rev. George Picket, A. B. Brown, Esq., Jesse Williams, Esq. Recording Secretary-John A. Bradley, Jr., Esq. Corresponding Secretary-E. C. McLure, Esq. Treasurer-George W. Melton, Esq. Tho meeting was addressed, elo? quently nud earnestly, by E. C. Mc? Lure, C. S. Brice, W. A. Walker and i S. P. Hamilton, Esqrts. At the conclusion of the regular speeches, Samuel W. Melton, Esq., of Columbia, was loudly called for, and iu his usual felicitous manner, enchained the attention of tho crowd in a very earnest speech in behalf of the Democratic cause, which elicited warm applause. The meeting then adjourned without disturbance. At night, there was auother large meeting at the Court House, numer? ously attended by black uud whito, and suitable addresses were made. The ?venta of the day demonstrated that tho Democracy of old Chester are terribly in earnest and are "going in to win."-Chester Standard. GREAT DEMOCRATIC MEETING AT GREENVILLE COURT HOUSE.-The largest meeting we ever witnessed in tho Greenville Court House, assem? bled on Monday, immediately after the adjournment of the United States Court. s Notice had been giveu in the Enterprise for the past two weeks that Governor Perry would address the citizens, and he did so, in a very admirable manner; settiug forth the facts connected with tho great De? mocratic Convention, nod the nomi? nation of Seymour and Blair. The reasoning of the Governor was most convincing, and his calculations of the prospects of success for tho De? mocratic candidates, were based upon a sound and solid basis. His remarks were enthusiastically cheer? ed, and the good cause strengthened. He was followed by Col. Rion, of Fairfield, who was called out, and by Col. Blanding, of Sumter. These gentlemen, distinguished for their patriotic spirit and gallantry as of? ficers, and for their intelligence as citizens, made forcible and eloquent speeches. Tho limited space of a weekly paper, prevents our attempt? ing either a report or comment on the speeches, which wero mainly just and sound in argument, although, there were perhaps somo things in each of the two last that we did not approve, there were exceptions to their general excellence and accept? ability. The people of Greenville and ad? jacent Districts, white and colored, are invited to attend a mass meeting of the Democracy, on the evening of Thursday, 13thinst., at Greenville C. H. Procession to be formed at 7 o'clock, and march to a public stand, where addresses will be delivered by the following distinguished gentle? men, viz: Gen. Wade Hampton, Gov. Vance, Gov. B. F. Perry, Hon. J. ii. Campbell, Hon. Arniisteud Burt, Gen. M. C. Butler, Hon. W. D. Simpson, Geu. M. W. Gary, and others. - (treen ville Enterprise. THE FIRST COTTON BAUE.-Tho New Orleans Crescent, of the 2d inst., says: "We have before us a sample of the first bale of cotton-crop of 1868-which was grown near Hous? ton, Texas. Tho staple is long, silky, and superior to any we hnvo 6een hist year. Tho fortunate owner of the snowy fleeces has sent them to New York by express to obtain the prize which is annually awarded for tho first bale. There is no causo to apprehend any injury by the worms in this advanced coudition of tho crop." An English engineer has just laid before the Emperor of France the plans for a monster raft, to he placed on three steamers, each supplied with an engine of 1,060 horse power. This raft would convey trains, in all seasons, from Calais to Dover in an incredibly short space of time, and at fabulously diminished fares. "Rlp-up-llcan" F?rty. The "Rip-up-licau" party! How appropriately named. "Rip-up" for short. In 1860, as a result of the first election, thoy "ripped" the old Union ; and; but for Democratic aid, could not have prevented the "rip piug" of the flag, from hem to hal? liards. B. Falstaff Butler, a shining radi cul light, of the lantern order, "ripped" open bank vaults in Now Orleans, and made himself the richer in "silver nod gold," besides grossly classing the respectable women of the Cresceut City ns all "rips" alike. In 1864, by "ripping" packages of Democratio votes, thoy exposed the double L. M. to thc bullet of the assassin, thereby opening tho succes? sion to an original "ripper," (tailor,) at whom they have "ripped" and sworn ever since. . During thcGO three years oi peace, they have concocted as many plaus for "reconstruction," and have "ripped" them all as often, and thrown them to the winds. Old Thug Stevens declares they have "ripped" the Constitution, and legislate "outside" thereof. Bout well bas "ripped" a "bolo in tho sky" and Old Thug a "penitentiary" iu hell. Callicott, (Greeley's "my friend,") and hosts of other moralists of tho Jacobin color, have "ripped" into the people's money bags, Chandler aud Yates and Useless G. get ou a "tear," and "rip" things generally. And now they seek to arm their ignorant black followers, that they too may do a little "ripping" on their own account, practicing with tho bayonet on tho bowels of their De? mocratic neighbors. The greatest "rip," however, awaits them on November 3d. The people will "rip" tho "rippers;" and, like Bip Van Winkle, they'll fall into a death-like sleep; but, unlike Bip, they'll never wake again. [New York Express. Tho church question is likely to raise a rumpus umong the "trooly loil" in Washington. Some months ago, tho leading Republicans in the district organized a church for Rov. Dr. Boyntou, tho chaplain of the Senate. They built a new church edifice in Washington, and it bas recently been opened for services. Things went on swimmingly until tho other day, when two negro men, graduates of Oberlin College, mado application to join this church. Tho Bev. Dr. Boynton, however, was used to preaching to tho aristocratic Christians of the Senate chamber, and positively declined to minister to the "cullin! brethren." Ho ob? jected to their joiuiug his church, and preached a sermon against it. He, however, advised the two ne? groes to join one of the African churches of Washington city. At this juncture, the "heroic" General Howard appeared upon tho scene, aud insisted upon receiving tho negroes, but without succ?s. The affair bas now grown into a serious split in the church, and tho mem? bers are about equally divided. A council of the body has been called to recoucile differences, but there is little chance of a settlement. The "heroic" General Howard insists upon carrying his point, and tho probability is that tho congregation, which, is a largo and wealthy one, includiug General Grant, who is ono of tho trustees, will split.-Richmond Examiner and Enquirer. FAT An DUEL NEA? NEW OKEEANS. On the 25th iustaut, P. E. Laresche, Jr., son of a respectable notary, and Deputy Constable Bossier, of the Third Justice's Court of New Or? leans, fought near New Orleans. Laresche was killed. A dispute in the court-room was followed by a challenge from Mr. Laresche. The duelists met at ll A. M., in the Par? ish of St. Bernard, some distance below tho city, near the United States barracks. Mr. Laresche was accompanied by Messrs. Marcel and V. Smith, as his seconds, and Dr. Berjet ns his surgeon, while Messrs. Forstal and Labatut acted as the friends, and Dr. Banco as tho sur? geon of Mr. Bossier. The ground was marked off nt forty paces, nnd double-barreled shot-guns, loaded with slugs, were tho weapons selected. At the first fire Mr. Bossier's weapon missed fire. At tho second fire Mr. Laresche received a bull in the right side, immediately under tho ribs, the ball passing entirely through his body. The?young man was boroo to the dwelling of his parents, on Royal street, where ho died. Mr. Bossier is a cripple, having lost a log in tho war. The victim was but a few mouths past bis twentieth year. Bos? sier was arrested and imprisoned. Surgeons Berjet and Rance were ar? rested as accessories. Mrs. J. M. Toler, of Fayetteville, North Caroliua, was unsuccessful in her efforts to obtain from tho Presi? dent tho pardon of her husband. Mr. Toler, it will bo remembered, now languishes in a military bastile, to which he was sentenced for a number of years by a military com? mission. The charge against him was that of killing a negro for out? raging a white woman. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. It is now very evident that the pro? gramme o' the truly "loil" party in tho South has been again changed, and tho idea of allowing tho L?gisla? tures of tho States to elect Presiden? tial electors has been abandoned. Mr. Pewees, of North Carolina, who wanted the reconstructed govern? ments to be propped np with Federal bayonets, declared most emphatically that the people of his State would nover assent to snob a political fraud. This and similar declarations from Georgia members, together with tho lato action of the Georgia Legislature in electing a Democratic Senator, have given a quietus to the project, and with a determination to try the ballot-box comos a call upon tho President for troops. It has already been stated the Pre? sident is thoroughly posted as to the alleged outrages in Louisiana, Texas and Tennessee, and while he refers such applications as have been made for troops to Secretary Sfibori?ld, the Secretary is at the same time kept informed of tho true situation of affairs and ho rules accordingly. The popular impression scorns to be that General Schofield sympathises with tho radical party, but there is good reason for believing the oppo? site. He will not allow himself or his department to be used to advance tho political .fortunes of the radical porty. It may very well be inferred what the status of tho Secretary of tho Treasury now is from the attacks upon him which have recently ap? peared in radical prints, but I have a fact which demonstrates it Btill more clearly. I learned that ho expressed himself without reservo this morning to several gentlemen, as entirely san? guine of Seymour and Blair's tri? umphant election. The prospect of success now so bright, has become tho panacea for all diseases arising out of anxiety and perplexity of mind produced hitherto by incerti? tude in respect to tho all-important questiou of how tho cat will jump. [Cor. Ballimore Gazelle. ZEPHANIAH PLATT AND SOCIAL EQUALITY.-Military Judge Platt set? tled some mouths ago with his family in Aikeu, -was kiudly received by the people, and visited and was visited by the society of the place. Un? charitable people say that Aiken wants emigrants, and insinuate that hence this bosjiitality. But no mat? ter the motive, there was the fact Zephaniah and his family visited and were visited. A dark cloud, how? ever, has recently come over all this bright, prospect of social harmony, and it happened in this wise: A short time beforo the meeting of the Zebraio Legislature, one of the black delegates, the notorious lt. B. Elliot, happened to be in Aiken, and Judge (?) Platt wanted to see him on busi? ness, and sent word to him to that effect. The ccdored "distinguished" misunderstood the invitation, and called at the "Judge's" house with his wife, a negro woman of bad re? pute. There was company at the house, and the servant who attended at thc door announced Mr. Elliot and lady. They were introduced and took their seats in the midst of the assembled company, who did not re? main assembled long, but made their escape as speedily ns possible. Hon. Zephaniah had a short interview with Elliot, the particulars of which have not transpired, but are supposed to have been interesting. The Judge (?) was exceedingly indignant, and de? nounced the attempt at social equal? ity in unmeasured terms. He had always been a Bepublican, and in favor of equal rights, but thought that ho still retained a right to select his own company and choose his own guests.-Charleston Mercury. AN UNFORTUNATE OCCURRENCE. On Friday night last, a very culpable caso of shooting took placo ubout seven or eight miles from town, by which two daughters of Mr. Thomas Cook were shot, and seriously, if not fatally, injured. From tho best in? formation that wo can obtain, it seems the sheriff's colored deputy had gone out at the time named, with a party to arrest a son of Thomas Cook, named Dorus, aud had per? mitted several colored men to go with tho party, who did not belong to tho posse. Upon arriving at Mr. Cook's place, the only white man belonging to tho party went in to seo if Dorus Cook was iu tho house; while ho was gono, Dorus was seen outside the house, and seeing one of the colored men, hailed him roughly. Tho man replied in the same manner; Dorus thon appeared to be making au effort to draw a weapon, when the colored man seized a gun from ono of tho sheriff's party and fired at Dorus Cook-who ran off-the shot taking effect on his two sisters, who were in tho window of tho house at thc time. The deputy very properly arrested tho ono who fired the gun, and brought him to town, where ho is now in custody. [Darlington Southerner. At the meeting, tho other night, in Montgomery, Alabama, Hum? phreys remarked that "wo are now settling down from a stage of tur? moil." A darkey, in the crowd, says to a bystander: "Who dat he say se ttl i cg down on a keg of sperm oil? ' Of course, he understood all the speech.-Mobile Tribune. Montana papers report that tbe sternum- Gaidon is to be taken over? land around the great falls above Benton, and hereafter ply as a regu? lar packet in waters till now undis? turbed by a steamer's wheel. They describe the mode of transfer by saying that "the boat will bo placed on skids and snaked overland by bull trains." Albert Hughes, a negro man, was hanged in Plattsburg, Mo., on Fri? day, the 24th ult., for the murder of a white man named Jenkins. He made a speech, not exactly confess J ing the murder nor denying that he did it. When he was dropped, his feet touched the ground and the ropo had to be shortened. A man in Dover, New Hampshire, who boasted that if his house were entered by burglars, there would be a funeral Of one less blackleg, was' recently robbed of a gold watch hanging over his head, and' his empty purse was placed upon his revolver lying in a chair close beside his bed. A young lady, in Richmond, re? cently, paddled a would-be burglar so severely with a press-board, that it is thought he will be unable to sit down for some time. She found the ! intruder under her bed, and, seizing the press-board, accelerated his movements materially. The drug store cf Dawson & Blackman, in Charleston, S. G., hav? ing been subject to burglaries for two years past, strong suspicion was finally fixed upon a colored man, named Isaao Jervey, and he has been arrested, with full proof of his guilt. DEATH OF A WELL-KNOWN AUTHOR. Selia Smith died at his residenoe, "The Willows," at Patchogue, L. L, on Wednesday last, after a long and painful illness, at tho age of seventy five. Ho was born in Buckfield, Me., September 14, 1792. A paragraph in the Charleston News states that tho political disabili? ties of ex-Governor Orr have been removed. He is now on a visit to Arkansas and Iowa, for the purpose of looking after some lands entered by him in 1S.">7. "Tho rebels have robbed the cradle mid the grave," says Grant, "for soldiers;" and yet, the very next day, he called for 200,000 men to vanquish these infants and ghosts. Mr. Thomas Hooper, whose death occurred a few days ago, was the oldest Mason in Massachusetts, and the oldest Past Master in the United States. He was Master of King Solomon's Lodge in 1812. Tho radicals, in Convention, on Saturday, to nominate a Judge for the Greenfield District, in Ohio, broko up in a regular riot. Let us have peace. Grant to Butler: "Stop all ex? changes; we can't afford to give live rebels for dying Union soldiers. It is hard, but can't be helped." Tho radical ship is already on its boam ends.
