Cm Oct. 22, 1880. A Change of Bate. All the Summer the Republican (' leaders of tbe North have been figh ting the political battles of the pres ent, campaign in the state of Maine Indiana and Ohio, believing that suc cess ou this line would secure a Solid North to offset tbe Solid Democratic South. By a lurge expenditure of money, the practice of every conceiv able species of corrupt trickery aud the concentration of individual effort in this contracted field, more than partial success has crowned their plans, and uow under the prestige of victory they have determined to di vido their forces, change their base and, ii possible extend their conquest. ? Beside I he doubtful state of the North ^?tf? West, which will require a large "outlay of money and effort, they pro pose to begin at once operation in Virginia? North Carolina, Florid' and the First, Second and Fifth clal Districts of South ' ? Ho^JohuShcmauar- ^o inft _.u Carl Sehurz ? W0lun^^rnTUir^ the leadership in the. Sou ?e uepartment, nn(j we may ?Xpert M}j 8ee tbo Nati0nai pot boiling here a8 vigorously as at the North. *Yhis will open up a new phase of pol itics to our people and will show tbem to what straits the Republican party jo driven by tho necessities of the Campaign. Every well informed man knows that this party cannot carry South Carolina for Gaifield and the only reasonable theory to account tor ?'. the folly of such an attempt, is to be '. found in the faet that our local Kudi ? cai leaders have made false represen tations to the National leaders in or der to secure their aid in the county . elections; Such was the purpose of 8am Lee's recent mission to Washing ton and, doubtless, he was tbe repre ?> ?? eentafivc of the leaders of the First ^ ' an^'Second districts. Whilesl we have no fears of tbe ability of the i Democracy to carry these localities, it will weaken the chances of the na tional-Republican party at the North ' and West without increasing tbein at the Sooth- Tbe bulk of funds was epent nod their most earnest efforts putforth in Maine, Indiana and Ohio, and tbe more extensive their field of operations now, the less likely they . will succeed in any particular locality. We fear nothing, therefore, from the expected visit of Messrs. Sherman and Sehurz and two or three thous and red shirts will meet and greet them with a real Democratic rebel yell. The Delaware Riot. One of the most shameless and un provoked attacks was made this week on a few Democratic Clubs while par ading in the streets of Wilmington, Delaware, in which several white men and two ncgros were seriously injur ed. Tho rioters were so violent as to defy the police and to throw tbe entire city into a state of intense ex citement. We are anxioua to see how tho Republicans of that Northern sec tion will explain away the affair. Had tho oarao thing happened in Sooth Carolina on a parade of colored Radicals by white Democrats, tbe cry Of political persecution, intimidation and murder would have been heard from every stump in liie North already, but ns it occurred high up, near the New Yoik line, and by Re publican ncgins the matter will be cpiite different. No persecution, in timidation, or murder here. Radical Poverty. Jab. A. Gai ?eld, tbe Republican candidate for Ilia Presidency, is said to be a poor /nun?so poor that tbe National Executive committee has to furnish bim with money to pay his railroad fare. Mr. Garfleld, however, desires this money to be considered a loan?like the famous 8329, got from Ames perhaps. It will need no in vestigating committee to fathom this fraud; -??.*?,?, j The ticket nominated by the Radi cal Convention last Tnesduy will be defeated juat as sure as November comes. A Foe to the Workingman. NewOTohk, October 20.?Tbere is consternation in the Republican camp at the publication of a letter of Jaines A. Garfield, favoring Chinese immi gration. The letter, which came to light accidentally only a day or two ago, is as follows: House of Representatives, \ Washington, D. C. Jan. 28,1880. ) II. L. Morcy, Employers' Union% Lynn, Mass.: Deau Sir?Yours in relation to tho Chinese problem came duly to hand. I take it that tho question of employees is only a private and cor porate economy, and individuals or companies have the right to buy la bor where they can get it cheapest. We have a treaty with the Chinese Government which should be religi ously kept, until its provisions are abrogated by the action of the Gener al Government, and I am not prepar ed to bay that it should be abrogated until our great manufacturing inter ests are consulted in the matter of labor. Very truly, J. A. Garfield. The original letter of which the I foregoing is a true eopy, was ma;' at Washington by tho Rep- *iert candidate for President r* :> .-^bhcan Momy, a prominent ? ** Henry L. Employers' Union member of the his death, whi- -m Lynn, Mass. At was four * -oh recently occurred, it envel' "d among bis effects. The flr jpo enclosing it is marked "Per onal" as carefully as tbe letter itself is marked "Personal and Confiden tial.''_ Gen. Wm. E. Earlc, of Greenville, a staunch Republican, declines to run ror Lieut-Governor on an Independ ent ticket. He says there is not enough good material outside of the Democratic party in South Carolina to mako a State ticket, and that he will support the Democratic nominoes in preference to the Greenback or any other ticket that may be brought out. A Joint Discussion at Griffin's. Two or three weeks were sufficient for every colored man, woman and child in reach of this precinct to hear of tbe Radical Mass Meeting appoint ed by Mackey, Taft and P>oliver, yet not more than two hundred, all told, out of a possible six hundred colored people were in attendance on Satur day last. According to a previous in vitation the Democrats with their leaders were out in very creditable numbers. A division of time was ar ranged and the speaking began at 12 o'clock. Mackey, on bebalf of the Radicals, opened in a tbirty minutes barangue similar in every respect to bis effort at Fort Motto. Al> >e of Democrats and tbe administrMlon under tbem was tbe burden ot nie song. He was greeted with only moderate enthusi asm by the crown S. Et. Me.Uichump, Esq., followed in a telling speech, showing up the Republican leaders, their greed for office, und reminding the colored peo ple that their interests were in union with the whites. Geo. Boliver then pulled down his vest and wiped oil his chin and shot ofi* hiu mouth for ten minutes. His bairangue was tame, pointless and nonsensical. He failed utterly to prove a single charge, and bis speech, like himself, was a signal failure. Dr. J. W. Summers was next in troduced and in a practical speech, which did not fall short of its mission, proved to the colored people that it was to their interest to vote with the white citizens. Mutually dependent tbe one upon the other, their destinies wcro the same and the prosperity ot each depended largely upon the har mony anil good feeling existing be tween the races. He completely an swered every f.slse charge of Boliver, and held bim up in his true light. This speech marked the turn in the tide of enthusiasm on Satuiday. E. A. Webster was the next speak cr, and being a puny man made a puny speech. Ho is by no means a "born o- ator." I Capt. L. A. Harper next followed with a solid speech for the Democracy in which he compared the two purties aud demonstrated unnrislakeably the superiority of the Democratic party. Capt. 8. Dibble mude the speech of the occasion. He hoarded Mackey's piratical craft and look the whole crew captives. Boliver was handled with ungloved bands. Iiis contemp tible purposes wero laid bare, his rascalities exposed, and so thick did the shot and shell fall that Boliver dodged, squirmed, cringed and at last crouched like a whipped spaniel un der Webster's buggy. This speech opened tbe eyes of many colored men and will bear "fruit in November next. One Ostendorf, of Charleston, next made a semi-abusive and poetical ef fusion on tbe Radical side, all of which went floating up tho mill-pond | bard-by. I Gen. J. F. Izlar was put up last of the Democratic speakers and literally demolished Osicndorf. Turning to that worthy and looking him full in the faee.he branded him as a traitor to his party, and, in a renegade's garb, held him up as a pretty aspect to tench politics to tho Colored people of Orangeburg. This poetical Radical will hardly attempt to speak again in Oraogeburg. Mackoy, having reserved to hirnselt the reply, arose and stumbled through a fifteen ninutes barrangne, when darkness gathered in to close the scene. Many colored persons had al ready loft and were going during his speech, but the red shirts heard him patiently to the close. Everything passed off pleasantly. The Radical Convention. Tho nominating Convention of the Radical party was held in the Court house on Tuesday last. Quite a num ber of delegates, ebony black, pum kin yellow and whiskey white, were I in attendance?everv one wantinsr and two-thirds expecting a nomi* ^ tion. D. A. Strsker, the Be carpet-bagger, was elected r : .rtnuda President by a *bandso' permanent over S. L. Duncan, V ?eo majority man. After a lo*1 *?o County Chair there was any -?g contest, in which ing, log-ro1' j amount of flllibuB'.er tho cor* ?dng and wire-pulling by Piur' -cendiug factions, Rev. E. M. ?? Pitney, a molasses colored Metho .ist preacher, was noiniDated for the State Senate. Iiis opponent was S. L. Duncan and this second defeat of Orangeburg's pel Radical, strained party discipline to its utmost tension and created a pow-vow as intense in feeling as the exhibitions of the palmy days of Radicalism. The courtroom not being of sufficient capacity to hold tbe crowd chagrined by dofeat,bloalcd by cursing and fired by mean whiskey, an adjournment was had to the color ed engine hall, wjjere the victorous faction repaired leaving the Duncan ites discussing the situation in groups on the public square. Tbe Pinckney wing, headed by Straker, Livingston and Uoliver, having no opposition and nn open track made the following nominations for county offices: Leg islature, James Rickenbacker, J. W. Thompsnn and II. II. llano; Sheriff, John H. Livingston ; Clerk of Court, Georgo Boliver; Coroner, Edward Aiken ; County Commissioner, Frank Simpson. By .resolution it was ordered that the Executive Committee bo author ized lo fill the other positions on the ticket with such names as they may deem best for tbe success of tho party. This of course means fusion ood is based on the supposition that there are Democrats who will allow tba use of tbeir names to break down the cause of good government in Orange burg. If there be such Democrats in our ranks, we do not hesitate to say in advance that they are but! slightly removed from tho Gco.,lhm.:er type and will be as unprincipled as he; It will be noticed that tho Radical part of this ticket is made up of old party hacks, chronic office-seekers and bit ter partizans. Let tbe Democracy of our county see to it that the best interest of our people be not consign ed to their keeping. Foures' Chapel. Tbe Radical meeting at Four en Chapel on Wednesday last was quite a tame affair in numbers, Speaking and enthusiasm. Indeed the Demo crats composed about half the meet ing and their speakers created all tbe enthusiasm. Out of a possiblo three or four hundred colored persons in easy distance of the ground, there was not more than one hundred and fifty women and chrildrcn included, in attendance, and those by no means as enthusiastic as in former cam paigns. A division of time was readily arranged for and the speakers called up in the following order: Georgo Bolivcr; W. L. Glaze, E. M. Pinokney, t*. 11. Milllchamp, H. W. Purvis, I)r* J. W. Summers1 Hon. S. Dibble and D. A. Strakew The usu al charges against tbe Democratic administration were made by all the Radical speakers except Purvis who made a Democratic speech through out save in the name only. Every charge of Boliver, Pinkney and Slra ker was met and successfully refuted I by our speakers and their own mis deed and dishonest practices, in and lout of office, were charged upon the party leaders without successful con tradiction. These joint discussions leuve no room for our colored people to escape. Their leaders aro held up in all iheir deformities, the party is successfully charged with corruption and if they still support dishonest office scalpers and give their allegi ance to a corrupt party, they do so not blindly hut with full knowledge of the responsibilities of such a couse. if they hud not been informed then there might be some excuse for vot ing the Radical ticket, but now there is no cloak for their sin. Our cam paign speakers are doing n noble work tbe fruit of which will only be seen on the second of November next. - mm ? ???? National Sdkoical Institute.?
