?m:;d Muss Meeting.
A grand mass meeting was held in
the Court. House Square on Monday last.
'?School Commissioner F. II. McKinlay
was elected Chairman and J* Folder
jMeyers Esq , Seoretary. Congrossm in
llansier was present, and upon being
conduotod to tho stind undo a most
?excellent speech.
He Was glad to address the poop lc of
Orangeburg. Momentous issues were
at baud, and be proposod to loo'c them
squarely iu the face. Was happy to
meet his frionds here, because of the
? * '* ? ?
many associations which bind hi in to
Orangeburg County. lie was a mom
?her to congress from the socoti l C hi
gressional District. While here didn't
know whether ho was on a visit to the
indefatigable School Commissioner, or
for the purpose of speaking. If a ny
ouc knew aught against his character,
it was his duty to voto against him. He
.had held positions in the Stato for niu s
years, and while si many had been
charged with robbery, the charge of
corruption hud never been laid at his
door. No man ever labored harder and
more earnestly for the party's success
than he. Ho was a friend aud legists
tor not of bis party alone; because he
had ever in big hoart the wellfare of all
peooplc; loved tho interest of the white
man and the black man. He represcu
ted no new idea. The white people bad
committed themselves years ago to the
doctrine that ail men arc born free und
equal. [.The principle inderlies the
constitution which made America what
she is. It has been brought practically
to bear upon this country by the omaooi
pntion of four millions of people. In
the struggle some of tin beat blood
was lost, but it seems that the Southern
v .people had to go through ibis ordoil
>ns a punishment for the long years they
contributed towards the enslave neat at
the blacks. To day the just judgments
of all men approved of the abolition of
slavery. Mr. .Hausier said that the
oyos of the nation aie turned upon the
colored majority iu this State aud holds
them responsible for wrongs done the
whites who are in the minority.
Let the colored men of redoe? m in
tTie State and County know that n lie
?publican majority in Cougrcsi rofus ed
to pats the civil rights bill, but did
?pa s an Act requiring that all men
should read and write before sitting ou
a United States Jury. ?
Mr. Ransier made a long and inter
csting speech which wc reported fully,
? 9)at find ourselves unable to publish
more than tihe foregoing. He was loud
ly cheered-throughout, and coutributed
?a {great deal towards increasing I is
already tremendous jMpularity with 'the
people.
Mr. John II. Phillips was next iu
troduced. Thought he had soeu cuougb
to induce the belief that the party had
%taen a failure. To day^tlwre aro men
running for office who arc better fruited
for the penitentiary. Upon being in
t rrogntcd the speaker said give him timo
as be intended to curry each man us b?
went along. If Congress had failed to
puss the civil rights bill it was the fault
of men on tho other side of Mason and
Dixon'u line. Ho was dealing with
thrives aud would band lo them roughly
The party nominated Scott first; and
he stole; tbey next put iu a home man
and he's no better; now "what aro you
going to do about it!" Mr. Phillips
made quite a lengthy speech replete
throughout with good udi'iee.
Mr. Richard Duncan mado one of his
?characteristic addresses. Ho agreo 1 with
tho position Mr. Ransior looked, an d
csnio out strongly for his re-election to
Congress; The speaker advisod tho
election of good and intelligent men to
office.
Mr. J. L. Humbert was called upon
i and spokeearnest ly~nnd wisely iu tho
interest of reform- Ho was no ouudU
dato for office but intended to give his
influence on tho side of be*tir govern
incot.
Mr. P. M. Gcucrnl ppoke wo)J; und
added now laurels to his nam? as an
orator
Mr V D Bowman said ho was no
candidate; and thought the important
question of who should ?fill office and ro
present tho peoplo was left with a small
number; members of the conventi on
ought therofore be vory careful in mak
ing nominations Demoorats arc watch
ing our quarrels and are ready to come
in aud take our places
Mr Henry Anderson took with the
crowd.
Judge Kuowlton was culled upon,
nud took (he stund amidst loud ap
plause. He thought there was a very
hard campaign before us, and doubted
whether the parly would win if good
men v ore not put forward as s tandard
bearers. Mr Knowlton was frequently
cheered, and was followed by Mr P K
Jones, who made an admirable speech.
Mr Inaao Whitcmore spoke up for
reform, and mado quite an impression
upon the audience.
Upon the whole, the meeting w.is
a sucesss. We regret that want of
space prevents us from giving a fuller
occouir nf tho incidents or the day.
SOUTH EDfSTO MURDER?
In our issue of July 18th appeared
an account of n shocking murder com
mitted upon nu unfortunate mulatto
girl, whose body, together with tint of
her mwlyboin child, was found in thu
South Edislo river.
Wc arc rn:ncd to ';c:.rn that through
information we thought to be true, we
have unwittingly given circulation to a
veiBtou of the affair calculated te injure
the fair fume of a respectable young
man named M W. Phillips son of Capt
Hugh E. Phillips, residing near Willis*
?
ton, Bnrnwcll cpuuty.
The murder is yet involved in -myste
ry, but so far as Mr. PbilKpsis con
cerned, after bis arrest, a m >st rigid
examination before a magistrate failed
to elicit any testimony whatever impli
cating that young man iu the slightest, j
Add the counsel for the State, the Hon I
S. J. Lee readily ucquicsced iu an ap
plication for his discharge from custody.
It would also appear that the arrest was
uncalled for and vexatious, as the infor
mutton upon which it was predicated
was entirely without foundation of fact.
The following is a brief statement od'
tht circumstances elicited at tho *xami
nation : Murguiet Cut ter, tho young
woman whose body is said to have been
fuuud iu the Edisto, was a field hand on
a farm near WillLton, cultivated by
Mr. Phillips. On Monday night the
20th June, after receiving rations.
Margaret informed a fellow laborer, Mr*
Charity Green, that she felt unwell and
was going home to her mother, who
lives about throo miles from Phillips'
j farm, and in an opposite direotion from
?the river. Next day .Mr. Phillips came
! into the field and finding Margaret
I absent asked Mrs. Green what had
become of her, and why ahe was not at
work. On being told that .-ho had gone
to her mother's complaining of iltooss,
he remained satisfied without further
inquiry.
A<bout the 4th of July the body ef a
girl, said to be that of Margaret Carter
with two pistol shots through tho
breast, and the head)shockingly bruised,
was found in tho river about 100 yards
btlow Davis' bridge. This place is
about7 or 8 zuUes from Phillips' planta
tion. The legs of the girl were tied
with a picco of plough lino, a largo
hinge attached to the body, and a new
ly born inlunt within the garments.
On tho 10th July Phillips was ar
rested with bis younger brother, and
they appeared before Trial Justice
Koennn as Windsor. Tho urrest seems
to have been mado moro in obedience to
the irrational impulses of a wild and
feolish popular gossip than of a sober,
magisterial discretiou. Thero uot being
a tittle of evidence to support the
charge. Phillips was accordingly dis
charged.
We aro sorry that our columns should
have been rnudo tho vehicle of ropcating
and publishing this misrepresentation of
Mr. Phillips, although as journalists
"we wero moro sinnod against than
siuuiug."
It is to bo hoped that the real porp?
trators of the terrible outrago, UDOzam
pled iu tho history of crime ia this
State, will shortly bo brought to justice.
