Mon,by the 12th 1n t., being tbi appointed time for the Republicat canvassers to address the people o Fairfield at Winnsboro, there as aembled in the streets about 10 o'clock a crowd of about 400 men, womel and children, all colored, no white being seen in the procession. The procession after forming march ed to a grove on the outskirts of th town whore a rough stand had beei erected for the accommodation of th speakers. The meeting was opened with pray er by 11ev. lyram Yougue. Seiato Barber presided, and with a few re marks introduced the several speaker in the otder indicated below. S. M Smart was the first epeaker. ie opened his harangue (for i could not, strickly speuking, be calle< -aspeech) by informiug bit motley an dience that on the l'th of last mont they had beard the Iteform arguments and to-day they were assembled t hear those arguments eontfuted. W contess oar utter inability to ertabiia as intelligible coucestion between th oratorical attempts of Mr. Smart. H endeavored to na-ke a point of th fact that the Radical speakers wer not allowed to speak at the Reforr celebration ; he mut:t certainly ha' forgotten that he himRulf was permit ted to get upon the stand, and delive a few remarks, and also frequently in terrupted Gen. Iutler. This is th4 way, however, sutch men appreciat privileges allowed them. He enlarged upon the sacriGces h had made for down-trodden humanity appealed to the prejudices of the col ored men ; said the election must b carried at all hazards: (let us pray, told his hearers to exhaust peaceabli moasurers first, and then if necessary resort to arms. (Attention artillery. He closed by giving vent to this intel ligible expression : "You can't sont a black man to' Congress, you can' send a white man either, bet you ca send a man whether white or black' We ourselves are unable to see th point in this expression. Upon tb whole it was a grand burlesque upo oratory. ..So much for him. The next speaker was Col. O'Cor nel, of York, an Irish scalawar. H opened by stating that his obfect t< day was principally to prove that th >eott Ring was a myth and that ther did not exist in the Republican part the rascality and corruption wit which it was charged. He expresse his regret at the small number proses and wished some Reformners were ther with whom he could discuss the ques tiops. He now started out with th dsgoftelling the colored men wha the Republicans had done for thoen stated that they gave them homei a. d provided ,shelter for them. (Wt, hiave never board of' any one arous hero, to whom they have giveni an homes, seinething li ke the 40 acres an a mule Gov.

A, S Walla,an mani nwit G.t.~1F.m lie exhorted his audience to stand by, support and vote for the Republican nominees, and not vote for sealawsgs, carpet-baggers, and a set of rogues, (true !) He confoed himself princi pally to the slavery question and the majority of the Republicans in Con. gre:s. (Great inattention prevailed e during the remarks of this speaker.) [Did not Wallace, in 1858 introduce r a resolution to put free negroes into slavery ?] It was very evident that Mr. Wallace had in view the $5000 he would receive if he were so fortu nate as to be elected. The next speaker was F. L. Cardo zi (colored Secretary of State.) lie f Ltated that the Republican party had done more for the white peo pie, and they had done more for education than any other party, (we disagree with him.) He stat. ed that in 1858, 12 years ago, the tax was eight mills on the dollar. Now suppose, says he, a man possesses 1000 acres of land, worth $5 per acre, and on two of those acres he raises a bale of cotton worth, say, $75, 3 that the tax on the amount is only eight cents. Also that before the war there were 400,000 sa'ves who had no r goverment (and they have got about the same thing now) but their masters, a who often lashed them, and that it was a crime for a man, before the war, to teach a colored man ; that the t difnerence between the several amounts I raised was only $150,000 more than .in 1858. lie stated that it was a blunder that the Reformists made when they alleged that only $50,000, (-td out of that the School Commis. 3 sioner had. received $31,000,) had 1 been appropriated for educational 3 , purpnses. That the exact amount 3 was $350,000. 3 For Common Schools, 235,000 3 For S. C. University, 65,000 For School Cowmoissioners, 50,000 . Total, $350,000 r Before the war the total amount - was $75,000. 3 He stated that they had to show s for their appropriation the establish meat of 625 schoole-and the edaea a tion of 25,000 children. He stated that the property in the State was worth $100,000,000, and that it was mide by the sweat and toil of the colored persons. Also that the white a people borrowed $390,000 from Scott, who was then the head of the Freed men's Bureau, and that this amount had never been entirely paid back, : thereby retarding education, since t this amount had been appropriated by a Freedman's Bureau for the colored persons education. Next, that 110,. e 000 acres of land had been purchased e by the State which were being divi. a ded and surveyed into small lots of 25 and 50 ares. (Ariotlhet mule sto - ry.) That the colored peo'>1e would e be allowed a certain number of vears - to pay their indebtedness for these e lands, and with the money thus re a oeived, the State will redeem their y bonds now deposited in the North. I He mentioned a case that had been i reported to him when the person sold t the Land Commissioner some land at 3 $6 per acre, and he (Land Commis - sioner,) had charged the State $7. e He confessed that the Laud Commis t sioner generally allowed some margin, - in order to pay the interest on bonds, ;, but that this was rather too much. e After an earnest exhortation to his 1 audience to think over all that the y Republicans had done for them in giv dl iag them schools, etc., and even the ,great blessings which they enjoyed to I day of coming there they owed them, p He concluded his remarks by urging al them once again to vote the Republi a can ticket of8ecott, Rausier and Wal. -lace. a The next speaker was Gen.

Mr. Editor: The good white peo. ple of this community, at my re quest, explained to ine the principles, justice and great necessity for Refer. niation, and I want the world to know that I am, soul and body, a Reformist; and further, that Iam surprised at all of ay olvi" Wihu have had an oppor tunity of hearing the truths in favor of Reform, that they do not fall in with us, help remove. strangers from office, amid help vote sueh men as we know will take care of the Inter est of our Mother State.

The earth is said to be 'gravitating towards the sun. Some of the ablest of our ,cientific writers are expresainf ginve doubts about the stability .f the material universe. Speaking o1 the destiny of the erth and sun a writer in a number of the Ediubut Review holds these wtrds it is absolutely certain that all planetary matter ii gravitatirg to. ward the sun, which will be common bouro of our system. "As surely," writes Sir William Thompson. "as the weight. of a clock rui down- to their loweat position, from which 'they can never rise agaiu unless fresh energy hi communicated to thoh from some source not yet ekhausted;' so surely must planet after planet oseep in, age by age, toward the suu ;" not one can oscape its fiery end, In like manner the satellites of the planets must inevitably' fall into their respective planets. As, then, it' has been proven by geology that our earth had a fiery beginning, so;it. is Ahown, by an appeal to the l:wa of gravitatiup, that it will have a fiety ncding. The earth passed from the incan descent to the habitable state and will have its individuality annihila ted by falling into the sun, and the seme fate will ultimately overtake the sun if it be true that it is revolving around somo enormodsly distaut cen ter of attraction. Keep it Before the People. On th 16th day of March, 1870, Judge James L. Orr was interviewe.l by a correspondent of the New York Tribune, and gave utteranoe to the following severe denunciation of the Radical party, with which he is now associated : "The result of the lastt three years have satisfied the peoplo that all the present evils of which they complain might have bea avurted by showing the colored voters that they intend to maintain their new rights. Large numbers of the best men in South Carolina are even ,ow willing to espouse Republio principle, and would doubtless d, so but. for the die trust which, as gentlemen of character and intelligence, they naturally en tertain towards those who, by accident al circumhtances, have been placed in he lead of the Republican party men who do not, and never did enjoy public confidence ; men who are ignorant, corrupt, dishouost and unfit, by reason of their early associations, for decent society. They were adroit enough, however, to make the more ignorant among the negroes believe them to be their best friends, and by employing all the the arts of the demagogue, and an unscrupulous use of disgracefull agencies, they succeed ed in being elected to the most impor. tant offices in the State."

Leaving the thriving town of Clte raw this morning at eight o'ulock, our party, in charge of a Committee of the citizeni, proceeded to this place, where we araivod after a fatignuitig jourt,ey of over three houts over a very hilly and every barren country. Oliceterfield county is a very tpareely settled, the white people beinsg in the majority and the Court louse, % veritable gbott of a town, bing so far from the c4utre of the county, we (lid expect to meet much of a crowd. The people were out in full force, however, and Juadge Carpenter and General Kennedy uddres.ed the larg ett gattherintg that has aisembled in the town siuce the close of the war. SOME MORE LAND SPECULATION. In course of his remarks Judge Carpenter oxpoyad one of the Land Commission swindles that have become so numerous all over the State. It appears that some time ago one Dr. Pox, a member of the iRing, bought a tract of land for $10,000. This iden tical tract was subsequently sold to to the State for $36,000, and the original deeds were produced on the stand t.wday and exhibited as proofs. The tneeting here to-day hus been productive of much good, and I think the meh of the county have been aroubed to something like activity. -AMODI. SCALAWAG. A reverend brother Donaldson, who is Setnator, revenue Collector, Commissioner of Elections and candi date for office, is the ruling spirit of the Ring in this section. It is said that he accumulated a large fortune by the bribes that he received at the lust Legiblature, and his money he is now speeding to bribe the people to vote for him. Bat this model minis ter and quasi Senator doe. not confine his efforts to bribing. He knows that the colored vote is strongest on the Pee Dee, and in order to cheat the poor white men out of their votes. he has consolidated two of the voting pre" enote, establishing the one irmedi ately in the thickest settlement of the colored people, a point over thirty miles distant from the white settlements, so that there are a large number of poor whites who walk over seventy miles to vote. This -o a charaoteristle dodge of the Ring, of which Donaldson is a worthy metbber but it will avail nothing. Let them place the polls where they will, the people of the county will, the peo ple of the county will see to it that conveyances are furnished to those who have none. Donaldson was ap pointed a Commissioner of Election, but being probably afraid to serve afraid that his rasoalities would bring him to grief-he imported another scalawag, who has been in the county just about two month,*, and whom nobody knows ; and this worthy, I lourn, has been made Commissioner of Election. On the Board of Cow missioners is a colored ian, a Mr. Weston, who is said to be the only honest man among them, and he, I believe, holds an office under Scott. Being in the ninori'y, his honeity Kill probably be overcome by his two a, sooiates, and one can readily perceive what a fair (I) election His Excllen oy Governor Scott proposes to allow~ us. I mnuch mistake the people of this county, however, if they do not have a fair count ; and Donaldson's lightgarne to olect'himself, and his com-. patriot Soott, by the cot of the ballots, will in this, as well as in other ooties, muost.assuredly fail. . Tihe Reform Candidates of the county are already out on the stump, and the ticket will probably receive a heavy najority. J. A. M.

The Louisville Commercial, a Radi cal paper, has made a e.loulation. It says that, according to its count there are 241 members in the Lower Irouse of the present Congress, and its ttatistioian, who is a close and acuou rate reasoner, but who makes it a priuciple in his calculations to sot down overything doubtful as against him, estimates that the House will be divided as follows in the next Con gross Dem.
