You soy: 1st, “ We consider that its provisions would have been disastrous to our farmers.” fid, " The remedy of indiscriminate at tach meets would have led to great - vexation, trouble and costs to our peo ple.” 3d, M The class of persons vest ed with this right under the bill, upon a simple affidavit, even before a Nota ry Public, oould hardly have been ex pected to exercise this extraordinary remedy with Justice and discretion.” You will not deny that the Act of 18$9, General Statutes, sec. 11, p. 419, gives the laborer a lien over the entire crop of his employer to secure his wages. You will not pretend to say that my bill gives him recourse to more of the crop than la sufficient to satisfy the amount due bim. So that if the ob jectionable feature of my MU is gi ving the laborer yartfon of the crop as se- enrity for his wages, what Is to bo said of the law which gives him ell. Had my bill passed and become a law only a jwrf of the crop wodld have been sub ject to such demands. By the defeat of that measure, the infamous Radical Act of 1369 remelee of feaee, oud ho still baa recourse to the v-w* <~f/\ Un der these circumstances I do not see how tho provisions of my bill could “ have been disastrous to our farmers.” As to your observations about " in- dUerinimlt ” attachments beinga source of vexation, costs and I have only to say that no new Mis or great er vexntian,nt.ixoubLa 00 aid occur un der this bill than under tho law which subjects all the crop to attachment (not indiscriminate, but of a very die- criMinattng character), and which is now of force, and which was of fofee before I Introduced my bill. As to tiJC third criticism. I confess I don’t kuow what you mean. If you mean to convey the idea to your read ers that by the terms of the bill a No tary Public could entertain a case and apply the remedy provided thereby, you are attempting to enforce a view Which you yocrsclt do not entertain, imd which, us a lawyer, you know to beunwarranterf hyamythlng in the bill. If jrou mean that tlm oath required by the bill for the pre teotion of the plant er fehould not bo tat en before a Notary Pubfic, your stricUires on this point Would apply to all tlv* law In the State OH the subject of tnk mg an oath, for you know, as well as yo u can know any thing, that an oath tatoen before a No tary Public is as high, ns solemn, as binding as If It were take.u before the Chief Justice of the Unitea States. If you mean to lu£ In that rentark about a Notary Public simply aa a make weight for j’our adverse A-iticisms, without any definite idea of its true Import, but with the hope that it will create a bad impression some where, then your notes are akin to all the groundless and senselcos clap-trap that has been evoked by thiSkbill. I o.’<iJtn yet that the bill is a good mcast’ro, and bad it passed I believe It woaild have worked well for the farmer a»nd well for the laborer.

The Act of 1869 extends its pro visioffs only-to such contracts between ownerrof land and laborers ns arc writ- ten and attested, in which the laborer is bound to perform his contract faithfully under criminal penalties. Mr. Aldrich’s bill gives an extraordinary privilege to laborers, under parol contract, without subjecting them to the restraints of the Act of 1869. -4. * 2d. Tho Act of 18G9 gives only a gene ral lien, withdut any active energy, and in section 3'thereof provides that “ Such . -jui-v .- * portion of ths cro'p or crops to them be • Wttging, or suth amount of money or other valuable consideration duo, shall be recoverable by an action jn any Court of bomypctonl jfirisdiction,” Which is the ordinary ramedy extended to all creditors in this State.

Yesterday was a perfect day, such as is given only to our fair land. A fair, cloudless, [ must 8 h 0 w it peaceful Indian Summer morning broke upon our town, bright with promise of the splendid demonstration which was to “ illustrate ” Barnwell and make every true man, woman and child in ovvr midst proud of our grand old “Banner county.” At an early hour the red shifted clan commenced gathering from all sections of the county, nod passed through town to tlio rendesvous on tho Blackvillo road, where they reported to Capt. W. B. Peeples, Grand Marshal, At 11.30a. m. the procession moved, preceded by carriages, containing the orators of the day, Gon. Leroy F. Youmans, Attorney-General; Gen. Lipscomb, of Newberry ; MaJ. Geo. D. Tillman, of Edgefield ; Gen. Johfison Hagood, County Chairman Lartigue, and Thomas Hamilton, tbo distinguish ed colored Democrat of Beaufort county, who, in tho darkest hours of 1876, camo ovei^to tho Wallace House and made for himself a proud name in tho future history of our Common wealth. 1 As the procession moved down Main street, past The People office, and the fair concoursoof ladies within Sydney Park, cheer after che^r rent the air. By actual count it was found that there were 1,823 red shirts in the pro cession,of whom 318 were colored Dem- Qpiftts. Tho most heartily cheered portion of tho grand cavalcade.con sisted of three straight-out colored Democrats of the Great Cypress Affil iated Club mounted upon red horned oxen, whose foreheads bore the appro priate names “Straight-out Demo crat,” “ Hide out Radicals,” and “Great Cypress.” We have not time or space to fully doseribo tho brilliant panoramic parade, but we are safe iif pronouncing it a splendid reproduc tion of Hampton’s day in 187G, and the Radical party in our county accepted yesterday as the day of its d<nttb and burial beyond the hope ' i r.^urrec- tion, for the great heart of the people and its determined will have pronoun ced Its eternal death sentence. When the VRSt assemblage had col lected around the square, in tho cen tre of which the speaker’s stand was placed, according to our calculation, there could not have been less than 2,300 to 3,0u0 people assembled. Dr. G. B, Lartigue, county chairman, totrodneed the different Bpeaksrs, after the Rev. W. B. Carson had opened the meeting with prayer, Attorney-General Youmans premised his address by calling attention to the historical fact that tho superhuman energ-y of Julius Caesar wjrs the main spring of success In the civil wars of ths Roman Republic. His motto be ing that nothing was actually done so long as there was anything left un done. applying that to our own politi cal affairs, ws must conclude that the efforts of 1876 cannot be secured un less followed in 1878 and 1380 by simi lar efforts. . ,• There Is ons thing tho campaign of 1876 demonstrated, and that Is that the victory of 1876 showed our people were worthy of tho sires who begot them and the mothers who boro them. South Cdrolina acted none too eoofl. We were on tbo edge of vassalage, for wjiere law ends tyranny begins. The speaker then went on to partiqularlze the benefits that have accrued to our people by the victory of 1876, and first stand a renovated judiciary indispen sable for the frame work of a stable government He spoke uf the revolu tion in the material of the Supreme Court as fruits worth all we have suf fered. He touched*lightly on the cir cuit benefits, selecting Kerahaw as a sample of tbs goods so bartered. In the case of the Legislature, be pointed to the fact that instead of a body of hoodlums who could be bought aud sold like cattle (u the Smith field market we had men, with reference to whom, it nothing else was said, could at least claim that they were un- rruptlble and undeflied. He called tion of the colored people to Ion of taxes. That all wealth from the ground; that all political manipulations of revenue Yeact uponTto source, and that the man who tills finally He neat contrasted asS^Mfilet did the picture of his father aud jwn on founding amongst ihttfiin the grandeur of their parity. He next took up Federal rep resentation, ana plaoed the respective pictures pf past and present lh the same light, calling attention to ( tbe fact that while Hoge and others of that class had consulted their own base in terests, Gen. If. O. Butler hsd vindi cated the light of South Carolina to a share lu Federal patronage in the in terests of the American people by ob taining an appropriation for the Char leston jetties. He need not tell ttU colored people, after what he had said, that what was true as.to State matters must be true as to Federal matters, and that if faithful to their interests they wilt rote for Tillman, in prefer ence to a .miserable wretch who had sold them for a bribe of 85,000—that man being Robert Smalls, a convicted thief. He next contrasted Governor Chamberlain and Hampton. That Chamberlain was a more adventurer, I who, after getting all he could out of one party, sought the other to extend the field of his depredations upon the people of South Carolina. In the ensuing campaign wo must show that we In South Carolina have not lost the breed of noble men. We to;. by electing not only State and cojinty officers, fit represen tatives of Carolina’s former regime, but a Congressman, who, by the dig it Ity of his presence in the National Legislative Halls in Washington, and by the force of his cultivated intellect, will compel the recognition of Caroli na’s rights, and show tho people of the United States, that, as she bears her full share of tho burdens of the Federal Government, eo ought she to* have her corresponding share of the honors and profits distributable among the family of States. Ho then reviewed tho various attempts of tho Democracy of the State to woo tho colored voters, and i * * 1 . #S*iw* thei tbequ bring them to worship their common mother, South Carolina, the various compromise measures that had been brought Invariably ending in failure. The final victory in a straight-out ticket, which eliminated all that was carpet-bag in our Democratic Govern ment. On this same line we mean to try it again, with a perfect assurance that it ta ‘the only road to success. To succeed In our determination wo must frown down all personal ambi tion. The public good must bo our ruling and guiding star, and we must have recourse to the good old Jtffer-. sonian doctrine, that the best man is tho surest servant of the Republic. Success now, says the orator, is the surest way to success in 1880. The magnificent Empire of Groat Britain he attrrbwtod to the invariable motto of her statesmen, that eternal vigi- lonce is the price of freedom, and that none cotiM be her servants except the best, the bravest and the most honor able of her citizens. The next speaker Introduced was CoE James N. Lipscomb. We consider him par excellence, a horn mover of masses cf mon. Fearless, self-con- talued, honest and convincing, with strength in his shoulders and earnest ness iu bis heart, ho is, in our esti mation, the beau ideal cf a political beacon light amidst tho shoals aud darkness of American politics. He premised by stating-that«he was a plain farmer, ungifted ysrith eloquence. Ho had no flowers of eloquence to bes tow on them. Ho came hero to talk. His talk was to the colored people. Ho had known that people all his life. Ho could, read them like a bock. Could look them In the face aud say whether any among them was good or bad. He told the colored people that af ter tho war they were invested not so much with privileges as with duties, In the first engagement of your pri vileges you were taught by ths de signing carpet-bagger to hate the white man and to believe in their interested deceivers. They never tougbt you your duties as citizens, this ho ..illus trated by the story of the Irshmau’s Idea of American liberty In writing to a friend at home. ,*Tn Ameriky you can do as you plc.se, and give a man h—1 If be dent do.it.” He touched upon the miraojdous character of our salvation In 187^. It is vain to trace its sources except to Him ' who rules the destinies of men and nations. im At a regular meeting of the Bennett Springs Democratic Club, held on the Slst ult, the following preamble and reeolu- \ selves to a depth still lower. Here w ® re o ffore <i ^ Dr. G. W. Morrali you on tBA colored nos M a oestfntng scoundrel You oanuot drag tho white’ people down without dragging your- the orator was IntorrUpted by ahndry questions froto tBe colored people, as to Lee, Elliot And otbeir dead-rots. He BBiwssred by ignoring anjf acquain tance with them, artd'tbiat the lees bis audience knew of them the better it would be for their respectability. He pitied the fate of such of the colored people as, after past experience, still remained In the filth and slime of Rad icalism. They would be consigned to a-plaoe where hope never dwells. He attributed the sucoets of 1876 to the following causes: 1st) the Hamburg fight-*; 2nd, the Ellenton riot; 8d, the Edgefield en counter with Chamberlain, and his defeat by Gary and Butler, and 4th, the red shirt demonstration. In all these tho carpet-bug scoundrels were the contrivers, and they were caught in their own contrivance. They Wanted the colored people to get killed for political capital; the colored people fell in Vhe trap, and when they got in difficulties these scoundrels deserted them, but tbe result was that white and black in South Carolina meet face to face, and the accursed Shadow of the carpet-bagger no longer stbod between them, so that the engineer got hoist with hlA own petard. —- Thomas Hamilton, of Beaufort, In our estimation the ablest and purest colored man in South CaroUoa, hext“ addressed the meeting. His remarks were directed entirely to tbe colored people, and with maiked ffleet. The speech of the Hon. G. ,D. Till man was in keeping with the man—- manly and ingenuous. Judge Mackey was brilliant and pointed, as usual—fiery, impetuous, destructive and bky-roekety. The.coming campaign in South Caro lina is to be not only a trash mover and » gully washer, but a fence litter and Adam breaker. It Is almost cer tain that the Riygideutlal election In 1880 will bo cast in tbe House oT Rep resentatives,'and upon the result of ’the election in this Congressional Dis trict depends the election of tho Presi dent of the United States in 1880. In addition a United States Senator is to bje elected by the next Legislature, and Hris therefore supremely Important that the Democrats of Barnwell be successful in the coming election. The colored man who votes against us does so through pure “cussedness,” and not through intelligence or from principle. From 08 to 76 schools wore open on ly Go days in tho year, but now they wilt be open 6 tnorrths; In-ihift-^pqp-. paigu yem must “organize victory”— give twice the majority given in 1876, so that on the 5th of next November you will roll up a majority of at least 2,560 for the Statu Legislative and Congressional candidates. Storms cf deafening ajqlause greet ed Gen. Hagood as he was introduced by Maj. Lartigue. Ho wjis brief, yet eloquent, referred to fhe campaign of 1876, and assured the audience that be felt no fears oflbe result of the cam paign in our county. In comparing 1 he present position of our State with its past we find a new prosperity aud a new peace within its borders, and the ,cnbin of tho humblest citiz-m has been as safe as the guarded castle of the pa trician. Nearly 1,000 colored men in 1876 marched to the ballot-box, and voted with us, and I And my people will nev er forget thenfaud their devotion to the right. Ibe Democratic ticket is us sure of election in Barnwell, as a Jackson Branch horse is to beat a no- horned ox. Send the bluff and honest Tilltaan to Congress in place of the convict Smalls. Bear yourselves, mon of Barnwell. bravely as formerly, itomember how you won your triumph in 1876, and on next election day roll up such a majority as will forever bury .the Radical party fa our county At the conclusion of Gen. Hagood’s address, Hon. -Robert Aldrich was loudly called for, came forward, but, owing to the lateness of the hour, ex cused himself from making a speech on this occasion, promising to do so at some future day, when, the meeting was adjoutned. unanimously adopted by the Club: Bxirnerr 8prihq9 Dm.
