COLUMBIA. S. C. Thursday Morning, October 3, 1872. For President of the United Stales. HORACE QRGEIiET. of New York. For Vice-President B. GRATZ BROWN, or Missouri. Oar State Election-Tho Present Out look. Oar State election ia near at hand. In less than two weeks the character of the Qovernmont under which we are to live for the next two yours will be deter? mined. The people are as indifferent aud opathetio us if there was nothing at stake. So tame a canvass was never be? fore known in the State. The political meetings are not attended in any great numbera even by the colored people. There is soarooly any talk about the elec? tion. Oar people seem to be unable to take any hopeful view of the immediate future of the State, and are disinclined to give much of their attention to the distasteful subject of State politics. Are we to remain so indifferent, and to allow F. J. Moses to be fastened upon us as Governor by our own default? We hope not. The conservative citizens of South Carolina cannot afford to shoulder such a responsibility. There is nothing truly in the Tomlin Bon tioket to fire the enthusiasm of the native white people, and it is not to be expected that they wonld rally to his support with any extraordinary fervor and earnestness. Bat we trust that our people are not as indifferent as appear? ances now indicate, and that they will tarn oat on the 16th in full force, and at leaBt protest against Moses by giving their votes to the better Tomlinson. Oar information is that the bolters have already made a considerable division in the colored vote. In the lower Counties of the State, along the sea-board, where the population is most numerous, the bolters show great strength, and are confident of securing a handsome majo? rity. The same is certainly true of the mountain Counties, and nowhere io the State do the oolored people appear spe? cially wedded to Moses. Upon the whole, the ohanoes are certainly in Moses* favor. But the oolored people are evidently un? satisfied with bim. They have been loth to oppose the regalar tioket. They fear some grave misfortune will ensue if they leave the old party ruts; still they oannot comfortably vote for Moses. They know he is a bad man, and that his election eau eventuate in no good to them or to the State. Many of them are becoming really impressed with the responsibility whioh rests upon them for the corruption and wholesale evils which have characterized the State Govern? ment for the past four years-ever since they havo buen vested with the power of controlling it. The party lash is being morcilessly applied; but many of them have rebelled, and mnuy moro are re? bellious. It will be impossible to tell just what impression the Bolters' movement has made, until after the election. When the votes ure counted, one eau see just how many voted for Tomlinson and how many for Moses. It wonld be a subject of serious regret to the whites to find, when the time for action had ended, that through their lethargy, tho State will have been confided to the tender mercies of Moses & Co. For that reason, we urge it upon tho Conservatives not to neglect their duty because their senti? ment? are not entirely gratified in its discharge. Moses may be elected any? way, but it should, at all hazards, be at the earnest protest of every honest man in the State. A very ancient though somewhat ques? tionable document was recently forward? ed to the National Library of Paris, from the archives of Simanus, in Spain, where it is said to have remained for many cen? turies. It runs thus: "In the seventeenth year of the reign of Tiberius Crosar, Emperor of the Romans, and Invincible Sovereign of the Universe, in the seventy-third year of the establishment of the Roman Empire, etc., etc., I, Pontius Pilate, representa? tive of the Roman Empire, iu this my residence of the Palace Larchi, do judge and condemn to doath Jesus, surnamed the Christ, the Nazarene, etc., etc., as guilty of sedition, and I hereby order and command, for tho reasons above mentioned, that He do suffer the punish? ment of death, by being nailed to the cross destined for criminals, etc., etc." To this is appended tho signatures of Pontius Pilate and twenty-four of tho Holy City notables. If this document bo genuine, it certainly presents none of those indications of unwillingness on tho part of Pilate which the Evangelists give him credit for. Happily, tho crucifixion being onco determined on, tho form of phraseology was settled by legal and ju? dicial precedents. Certainly there is nothing in the sentenco itself to show that it was passed as a concession to the clamors of the multitude. LEXINGTON, S. G., October 1, 1872. EDITOB OF THE FHONIX: The Mosey i te pow-wow, so long noticed in that de leotable sheet, the Union, took placo, to? day, in the Court Honso. Although runners had been busy for a week or two all over the County, summoning the faithful to attend, there were lesa than fifty individuals present. This was a huge turn out, considering that Dr. Hayes and Moses claim to be sweeping the County-having a host of followers at their backs. Among the distinguished speakers who held forth was John Howard, one of Scott's pardoned peni? tentiary birds, who pitched into Curley, for daring to bolt and run against Hayes for the Senate. Senator Hayes sat near, and seemed to relish his finely-turned periods of billingsgate and balderdash. Aheml Mr. Dunbar next proceeded to disoass the merits of the regular question, and spiced bia remarks by reading a letter which purported to have been written by Mr. Oorley to a friend, soon after the close of the Bolters' Convention, in whioh he (Oorley) took strong ground in favor of the Tomlinson tioket, but re? ferred to the tone of the Convention, whioh looked to a return to the "regu? lar" thieves, in the event the Democrats should take advantage of the split in the party to nominate a straight Democratic tioket for the State. Mr. Leaphart, to whom the letter was addressed, said ic read differently from what it did when he had it in hand, and demanded it BB his property; only to be refused-Dr. Hayes putting it. in bis pooket. Mr. Danbar proceeded to his heart's con? tent, and advised all good Democruts to vote against Mr. Oorley, because he had hinted at a possible re-union with the thieves, to keep the Demoorats out of power-seeming to forget, or else did not know, that Dr. Hayes' own little County platform fully recognized "genuine De? mocrats" to be "genuine Republicans," and claiming himself and Moseyites gen? erally to be "genuine Republiouus." He ought not, therefore, to attempt to keep "genuine Demoorats" from voting for Corley because ho deemed it possi? ble that they might bo driven into such good company to support the thieves. It does seem that a mau should not be damned for making a first ohoice of honest candidates, by at least euch men as those who prefer thieves first, last and all the time. Mr. S. E. Caughman, the "Regular Republican" nominee for Probate Judgn, made his appearance, and added maoh to the interest of the mooting. This gentlemen is, or has been, a "regular," and "genuine," at that. He has suffered a good deal for his devotion to prejudice, if not conviction. He has been fiued, at three different times, the sum of twenty dollars and costs, by Judge Melton, for refusing to sit on a jury composed partly of oolored men. His convictions are not so strong, however, against oolor, as to cause him to refuse a Beat in the Probate Judge's office by the votes of colored men. This is a "genuine" conversion; and there is a joy in Heaven, as on earth, over ono sinner that repeuteth. OBSERVER. QUEENWOOD, S. C., October 1, 1872. Mn EDITOR: Your editorials in tho late issues of the PHOENIX are swingitig around in tho right direction, and giving much satisfaction here. So far as Radi? cal Republicanism is concerned, the white men of South Carolinu will never take sides with it. The decent people wonld refuse their support to Moses under any contingency. The reasons of this, yon and your readers well know. We imagine that perhaps Messrs. Tom? linson & Co., tho Reform Republicans, would, if elected, administer the govern? ment for the good of both white and block. At least, we are williog to risk the honest white and black mau in South Carolina. We are now careless of color, so the man is right. Qo ahead, and bolster up the Bolters. AUTUMN. Mn. EDITOR: Allow mo to state, through your columns, that I respectfully decline tho nomination for School Com? missioner. I am truly sorry that my name appeared in connection with the Bolters' tioket, as I am no office-seeker, and did not ask a nomination of any kind. My name was used by the gentle? men without saying a word to mo on thu subjoct. V. H. BULKLEY. ?-??-? GRANT VOR MOSES.-There was a meet? ing of the Mackey faction of tho Repub? lican party, in Charleston, on the 1st. Among other speakers, the chairman in? troduced Capt. Carter, of the secret ser? vice, who had come to South Carolina with instructions from tho National Ad? ministration. This announcement was greeted with applause, and Capt. Carter mounted the table. Capt. Curter stated that he had jnst arrived in South Caro? lina, provided with credentials from Washington that he was safe in Raying that Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, President of the United States, would givo his sup? port to the Moses ticket as the only regu? lar Republican tickot in South Carolina, and hud sont him to meet Gen. Moses and negotiate with him for the best inte? rests of tho national Republican party. He added, that it waa felt to bo necessary to the suoooa3 of the national Republican party to have the vote of the State of South Carolina for Gen. Grant, a ad for that reason, Gen. Grant would doubtless support the Moses ticket as the regular Republican tioket ia this Stato. These remarks, as might have been expected, caused no little sensation in the conven? tion, and BS soon as the assurance of Gen. Grant's support was comprehended, a pcrfeot roar of applause went up from the 200 assembled doleg&tes. An old bachelor of Darlington County, S. C., offers a fine silk dress to tho best preserved old maid, to be awarded at tho next Darlington fair. Our Washington Correspondence, WASHINGTON, D. G., Sept. 29,1872. To TUB EDITOR OF THE PHOENIX: The Liberal ticket has never been so strong as to-day-so say scores of reliablo cor? respondents of the Democratio Congres? sional Committee here; and so it is con? ceded by the Grant officials, in private oonversatiou, although their newspapers and Btump-apeakera are still working hard, but fruitlessly, to "bear" Greeley stock in tho political market. Special messengers from Cameron and Morton arrived thia morning at the office of Pro? vost Marshal-Geuerul Grant, with de? spatches that have canned the most iu teuse consternation among tho Adminis? tration hickeys, whose broad and butti r dependa upon the success of tho nefari? ous schemes by which thoy had hoped and expected to fatten upon Govern? ment pap during another Presidential term. Cameron boasted, when he wus last here, that Dem?crata had never been so cheap in Pennsylvania as during this campaign, aud that he would have no difficulty in buying just as muny aa he needed, at his own figures. But a chango has come o'er the spirit of bia dream. His despatch of to-day to thu Grant Congressional Committee states that every speaker and every dollar t hut can be raised must be sent into Pennsyl? vania immediately, or the election of Buckalow is inevitable. Cameron also complains bitterly of the carolesneas of the Government clerks here who were detailed to select and for? ward negro colonists to Pennsylvania. He says that a large proportion of those negroes had the small-pox, of which they have died since their artival in tho Key? stone State; thut their funeral expenses had to be paid out of the campaign fund-a dead loas to the great moral re? form party-and, worse than all, that the dreadful disease which they imported from the infected suburbs of Washing? ton is spreading rapidly round the neigh? borhoods of Pennsylvania to winch these colonists have been assigned, caus? ing great alarm and indignation muong the permanent residents. Morton's begging letter is even lest cheerful than that of Cameron. Mortor. has given np nil hope of carryiug Indi? ana against Hendricks. He only pro mises that if sufficient funds aro for warded to him, and "some means can bi devised of making Greeley keep hit dumned mouth shut," the majority o Hendricks will not be so largo but thal it may bo overcome in November bj hard work and "management." Siinilm demands for men and money for Peuu sylvauia and [adiana have beeu made bj Cameron nud Morton on the Grant Na tional Committee in New York. But it is too late. The panic iu tho Grant ranks hus aln< extended to Ohio. A month ago fov persons thought that Greeley hud aui chance of carrying that State; but t In late accession to the Liberal cause o Hussaurek, editor of the Cinciunat VoiksblaU, ono of the most accomplishei and influential journalists in the Unitei States, together with tho wide distribu tiou of the many brief, pointed ant oomprehensivo speeches of Mr. Greelo; during his present tour, have ha?l an al most miraculous effect upon the votin; population of the Buckeye State; mor especially, perhaps, upou those of th Germans who have hitherto uuiforml; voted a straight Republican ticket, uni whose support, up to teu days ugo, wu confidently relied upon by the Gran party. But I am not so sanguine 01 Ohio ns on Iudiuna nud Pei, usylvania I hardly thiuk the Liberals will curr, the Stute ou the 8th of October, as mau old aud experienced members of thu De moorutiu und Liberal Committees her anticipate, nud aa Mr. Greeley hiinsel thinks; but I do think that tho majorit of the party of hate and discord will b so largely reduced in that State, ues week, as to give us a reasonable assui ance that wo shall carry Ohio for Gret ley and Brown in November. All thing considered, however-all we have to cot tend against-the vast sums of Goverc mont money, the numerous army of o! floe-holders, led hy those pions ol frauds, Wilson and Harlan, by all th Credit Mobilier swindlers aud other At ministration "heats" - wo should b thankful, I think, for Indiana and Pent sylvauia, iu which Status there can h no reasonable doubt of our success.

THE RADICAL DEVILTRIES IN POPE COUNTY, ARKANSAS-SHOCKING DETAILS OF THE POLITICAL WAH -A correspond? ent of tbe Missouri Republican writes os follows, under dato of Little Rock, Sep? tember 19: On tbe 8th of last July, Sheriff Dod? son, of Popo Connty, (Sheriff" by ap? pointment of the Governor, the Govern? or having refused to commission the Sheriff ohoseu by the people,) with u posse of twenty mon, went to Dover, the County seat, and there arrested N. J. Hule, au old oitizeu of sixty-five years of age, ulso his sou, Wm. T. Hule, Joseph Tucker and J. L. West, ull men of good standing and repute. The arrest wus made upon a oomplaiut preferred by Doputy Sheriff Willtums, charging the parties with having attempted to kill bim by shooting at him in tho woods. But thero appears to have been no foun? dation for this chargo, Williams himself having, it is said, rcoently confessed (when mortally wounded) that the charge WAH made for the purpose of getting into their custody the foar persons named. Tho partios arrested wore immediately taken from Dover by Dodson and bis gang, in the direction of RasBellville. At sun-set, they reached Shiloh Church, six miles from Dover, where a halt was ordered, and after a consultation be? tween Sheriff Dodson nnd his deputy, Williams, eight or ten of the gang were sent off, under pretence of going for forage; but thoy did not return, and wheu it was fairly dark, Dodson ordered the party to move on in the direction of Russellville, with the four prisoners. They had gone but a short distance, when, on reaching a dark, narrow plaoe in tho road, guns wcro discharged in the bushes upou tho road-side, and imme? diately Dodson uud his posse fired upon tho faur unarmed prisoners, killing Win. T. Hale and Joseph Tucker-Dodson himself shooting Tucker-tho other two narrowly escaping tho same fate. Tho guns fired by tho aide of tho road were pointed upwards into tho air, and were fired by some of Dodson'? own men sent forward for that purpose. If weean credit tho statements of tho two who escaped, and old Mr. Halo is not a man whose word any citizen of Popo Couuty would doubt, and according to tho statements of Hule uud West, just boforo the ?iring, ono of the posse remarked, "It is dark as Egypt," to which Dodson replied, "Egypt huH no oyes." Tho beautiful young wife of Mr. Tucker seemed to have a presentiment of her husband's death, for when Dodson and his posse came to arrest him, she clung to her husband, declaring he should not bo tnkon away, telling Dod? son, "You know you have como to mur? der bim." But to tho youug wife Dod? son pledged his word of houor (?) that uo harm should come to Tucker while under arrest. Alas! her presentiment proved but too true. But this was but thu commencement of trouble. Wallace H. Hickox, the County Clerk, (by appointment,) wus ono of tho Dod aou gung who wore openly charged by Mr. Poynter, of Dover, with the murder of Tucker and Hale; and a short time after the killing of these men, Hickox was seen by a half dozen citizens, among whom was tho Rov. Mr. Hickersou, of Dover, to ride deliberately up to thc shop of Mr. Poynter and commence firing. Poynter returned the fire with a shot-gun, killing Hickox. Some time afterwards Deputy Sheriff Williams, in company with a number of mounted men, met Hale, a brother of Wm. T. Hale, shot by Dodson, und fired upou him at sight. Hale then fired nt Williams, severely wounding him. Last evening William? was not expected to live, and he has made a confession (already alluded to) fully exonerating Hale from ull blame, and revealing u plot deliberately entered into by officials of tho State for tho double purpose of gratifying personal malice, and to place the Couuty under martial law for politi? cal purposes. THE MOTIVE.- That tho motivo for this may be fully understood, it should be stated that Popo Couuty is ono of the strongest conservativo Counties iu tho State of Arkansas, and in a close elec? tion, tho throwing ont of Pope County might save tho State for tho "minstrels," as tho Grant party is hore c tiled. This damaging confession of ouo of the chief movers aud instigators of the present trouble is, as may readily be imagined, creating a feeling of great in? dignation against the State officials. REIGN OF TERROR.-It is with reluct anco that we aro forced to believe that even a reckless set of carpet-bag politi? cians would resort to such diabolical means to retain tho power which they cuu but sec is fast slipping from their grasp; but we cannot doubt the truthful? ness of tho death-bed confessions of Wil? liams, made in tho presence of a half dozen of tho best citizens of Pope Coun? ty, und iu tho light of this confession, and not otherwise, can wo account for thu action of Gov. Hadley iu calling out tho State militia to sustain Dodson in murdering the peaceable citizens of Pope Couuty. Tho killing of Hale and Tucker is not denied by him, and ho (Dodson) is now under bonds to appear and an? swer to n chargo of murder ut tho next term of court. Decency would seem to suggest that Dodson should bo removed, or at least suspended until his own trial takes placo, rather than that tho wit? nesses against him should be placed iu his power. Tho citizons of Pope County unanimously desire Dodson's removal, and havo urgently petitioned Governor Hadley to tuke this course, and to ap? point somo man of character and re? spectability to fill tho office, as the Go? vernor has full power to do. This course would put au imm?diate cud to tho pre? sent difficulties, for, outside Dodson aud his gang, thero is not a man in Popo County but would gladly surrender him? self to thc civil authorities, so soon aa thoy havo any reasonable hopo of pro? tection. But tho citizens of Pope Couu? ty will die, if dio thoy must, with urms in their hands, sooner than meet at tho hands of the Dodson militia the fate of Joseph Tacker and Hale. Thore is now a complete reign of ter? ror throughout the County. Neither the lives nor property of the citizens ure safe. A NEWSPAPER SQUELCHED. -It waB ut RiiBsellville the printing office of the N?tliojial Tribuno was burned about a week ugo, and its editor, Mr. J. H. But tenfiold, driven from his home, under the following circumstances: The paper is Conservativo, and through its columns its editor dared to express his sentiments iu a manner not complimentary to She? riff Dodson, or tho State officials who appointed Dodson aud aro sustaining him iu his lawless acts. The Tribune oflloo was threatened with destruction, and tho threat has been executed. THE "MINSTREL MILITIA."-The mili? tia now deuy that it waa burned by them, but it is not denied that their guard on duty near the office, on the night it was burned, gave no alarm, and no citizen dared to go to tho fire for fear of the militia. And ou the day after the burn? ing, it being reported to Qen. Upham, then at the Eagle hotel at Bussell ville, that the editor, Mr. Batteufield, had made some severe remarks at the break? fast table concerning the burning of his printing office, Qeu. Upham ordored a squad of the "minstrel militia" to arrest him for his offensive language, aud tuke him to thu camp of tho militia; he might us well have ordered him shot at Bight, for had he been taken to that camp he would, in all human probability, never have left it alive. This Gen. Upham himself afterwards admitted. Mr. Bat? teufield was warned by his friends and mude his escapo to Little Rock. You eau judge of the effect of this state of things when I tell you that the scrip of Pope County is now offered at six cents on the dollar. There is a gene? ral feeling of gloom and despondency. Business is suspended, the farmers have left their uugatherod crops in tho fields, some have left tho County, and many are talking of leaviug. Such is "minstrelsy" and itfl results iu Arkansas.
