TnE RADIOALS in Chester have
waked up. A convention or mass ,
meeting was held last week to send
delegates to Columbia. During
the meeting a white man named
Bradley announced himself as a
Radical candidate for the Legisla
ture. This is but the beginning.
A Threatened Conflict.
The controversy between the
United States and South Carolina
in reference to the trial of the
murderers of Ladd is assuming
grave proportions. When Judge
Kershaw refused a transfer of the
case to the United States Circuit
Court, he intimated that he would
yield to the State or United States
Supreme Court, but to no other.
Governor Hampton desired that the
case should be taken up regularly
through the courts. This at first
was also the determination of
President Hayes and Attorney
General Devens. But Secretary
Evarts was called into consultation,
and opposed any such disposition
of the case. He thought that
Judge Bond should be sent down
forthwith with his pockets full of
writs of habeas corpus, and take
charge of the case and the revenue
affairs, nolens volens. A number of
the stalwart Republicans in tiiatod
that Hayes lacked backbone and
was afraid of Hampton, while
bloody shirt organs spattered Gen,
eral Kershaw all over as a boss
ku,klux and an incipient rebel. In
consequence Mr. Hayes has con
cluded to ignore the course of law
altogether, and to capture the
officials forthwith. He intimates
that force will be used to gain pos
session of them, if necessary.
What Judge Kershaw and Gover
nor Hampton will do is not known.
The decision of the former was
conclusive, that the killing of Ladd,
even if done in self-defence, was
a common law offence, and could
not be said to have been done in
the course of official duty. Things
have come to a pretty pass when
revenue officials can shoot mon
dead in their tracks and then escape
justice beneath the shadowv of the
United States Court. We hope
the State officials will stand firm
in their position, and take any
measures, short of actual bloodshed,
to maintain the supremacy of State
laws over criminals against the
State.
The Fourth Congressional District.
The Radicals will make a desper
ate effort to secure the next House
in order to elect their president in
case the election is thrown into
that body. Besides making strenu
ous efforts in the North and West,
the national commnittee will organ
ize a fierce campaign in doubtful
districts in the South. Among
these is classed the fourth district in
South Carolina. Here is what the
New York Times, the leading Radli
cal paper of the Union, says on this
subjeet:
In South Carolina, if General
Hampton's professions of honesty
count for anything, and he can
carry out his avowed intention of
securing a fair election, the Re
publicans should carry the Firet,
Second, Fourth and Fifth Dis
tricts, which would be a gain of
one. The Fourth, now represented
by John H. Evins, a Democrat, was
carried against Alexander S. Wal~.
lace, by a majority of several thou..
sand. This result, however, was
due as much to the unpopularity of
the Itepublican candidate as to the
tactics of the notorious "up-country
white Jliners." The district is one
up.on which the Congressional
Conmmittee could with profit bestow
a great deal of attention. The
First) Second and ~Fifth Districts
wall certainly return Republicans,
if candidates can be found who will
take the risk of running, and any
reasonable assurance is given that
the colored voters will not be
molested while exercising their
political rights.
Some $imu ago,.it was announced
that leading Republican orators
would canvass those dobat%ble dis
tricts and endeavor once more to
array the races in antagonism. It
is therefore wise to be on the aleit,
and throw as much enthusiasm and
earnestness into the Congressional
race as any other, A capture of
the House of Representatives by
the Radicals is a necessity.
They must do that or die. The
constitution provides that if no
presidential candidate shall have
received a majority of the electoral
vote, the three highest candidates
must be put before the House, and
the House will vote by States, each
State casting one vote which is
determined by a majority of the
delegation from that State. Where
a delegation is evenly divided the
State loses its vote. The present
House could not elect. For there
are eighteen Radical and eighteen
Democratic States, with two, Cali
fornia and Florida, divided. A
majority of the States is twenty.
The object of each party is to
control the delegations of twenty
States in the next House. South
Carolina is at present Republican,
having three Republican and two
Democratid representatives. There
is an opportunity for a lively little
fight. The Democrats must carry
at least three districts, in order to
transfer the State to the Demo
cratic column. Hence it is a
matter of still greater importance
than ever to return Colonel Evins
to Congress. Let the Democrats of
the district be on the alert.

THE MEETING AT SALEM.
llfessrs. Editors ; One of the
most pleasant days your corre
spondent over spent was at the above
place on Friday, the 26th of July, at
a barbecue and picnic. The affair
was gotten up by the Salem Demo
cratic Club, recently organized, and
the scholars of Mr. W. J. Keller's
school. The club now numbers
about fifty-four members, and is
rapidly increasing. But to the
pleasures of the day. The selection
of the ground was very judicious,
being in a beautiful grove. of wide
spreading oaks in front of the resi
dence of Mr. G. B. Pettigrew, to
whose active agency the success of
the day is partly due. By ton
o'clock the grounds were dotted
over by the beauty of Salem, accom,
panied by stalwart Democrats, with
a considerable sprinkling of the
sale race. Early in the day could
be heard the tuning up of violins,
and not long after, many couples
wero tripping the light fantastic toe.
This most innocent of all pastimes
for young peopl)1 was kept up to the
hour of dinnor. About eleven
o'clock the examination of the Salem
school was made by Rev. WV. Rich
ardson, our present efficient school
commissioner. The scholars by
their bright faces and ready replies
showed a high degree of proficiency,
which reflectedi great credit on their
aptness and applicaiion, and the
diligence and p)erseverance of their
teacher. At one o'clock dinner was
announced. There our pen begins
to fail. Woe wish there were somne
strouger word to apply to success
than complete. The table was one
hundred and fifty feet long, and
almost groaning under the wveight
of the varied good things piled
upon it. We can certainly say, in
fact everybody says, we never saw
as bountiful a supply of odiales put
before a hungry crowd. Everybody
got enough-ladies, childlren, men
and our colored friends. After
dinner dancing set in with a vim.
'Twas almost foolishness before, but
nowv everybody had got acqluain ted
with everybody else ; we all felt
good-felt that we had come to
gether, not only to eat, but to cole,
brate the disen thralmen t of glorious
old South Carolina. We felt that
four years age a barbecue, &c.,
could hardly be gotten up in our
county. 'We were then under a
yoke and could not enjoy it. But
now, howv different ! WVe give
pleasure free wings and let her soar
unrestrained.
There were some speeches made
in the afternoon, but as your corre
spondent heard almost nothing of
them, he is unable to report. We
believe Messrs. Lyles, Clayton,
Richardson (this gentleman excluA
sively for the advancement of our
common schools) and Herron spoke.
The crowd seemed to be disap'.
pointed at the non,-appearance of
our present able representatives,
Mqssrs. H. A. Gailarda nd T. .
Brice. It was, however, stated that
Mr. Gaillard intended to bu with us,
but was compelled to stay at home
on account of toe illness of one of
his children.
All pleasant days must close. We
wore sorry, but old Sol's gradual
sinking to his virtuous couch told
us all to go and do likewise.
May the shades of Salem never
grow less. Our shadow never in~
tends to diminish as lon-, as we can
just occasionally get to such anoth.
or merry-making. Qur.
The diamond flashes all the more
brilliantly for its beautiful setting.
So that jewel, the mind, when con
tained in its casket, the body mado
beautiful by health, exhibits more
grandly its wondrous splendor.
