The Democracy at Brai chvillc are
?wide-awakes. Their county chairman
has not aa yet called his convention,
nud yet we sec by a correspondence in
tho Charleston papers that a pre

The Republican Meeting.
According to the announcement
published in these columns for seve
ral wreks back, the Republicans met
in the grove near Capt. J. C. Rowe's
on Saturday last and ratified the
nomination of Hayes' and Wheeler.
Gov. Chamberlain, lion. R. B, Elliott,
E. W. M. Mackcy, T. A. Davis, R.
II. Cain nnd others spoke. The Gov
ernor was interrupted by various
questions. Tho speech of Geu.
Elliott was the event of the day.
Resolutions were passed endorsing
the Cincinnati nominees.

Rice Slrikers.
In June last the laborers iu the rice
fields along the Combahcc struck for
higher wages. By forbearance on ,
the part of the rice planters bloodshed
was averted, and things moved along
quietly until this week, when the
laborers broke out afresh. Latest
accounts inform us that the ring
leaders have been arrested, and that
the excitement has greatly subsided.
Party Colored Extracts.
As an evidence of the facility with
which Democratic correspondents can
color things ..to. .suit themselves, we
publish the folIowingjJn reference to
the Ojovernor's speech made at this
tyVcq on Saturday last. He was not
tacafed as these correspondents would
have tl)c people to believe:
[1'ioni the Journal of Counnerce Cor.']
Strange to say, Governor Chamber
lain found tho climate unhealthy.
After getting up ta make his speech,
Im was so persistently- interrupted by
his own party that he left on the
two P. M. .train for Columbia,, in a
fit of disgust. Evidently tlicy are
at a loss. They have thrown
Chamberlain ovci board, and arc now
themselves adrift. 1 overheard one
passing down the street, saying, in the
usual loud and. boisterous voice, IV
Chamliu j Po' Chamlin .!. de Demi
crack, dun drop um, auf ile 'Publican
won' tok uni.upj 1*0'Chamlin, he dun

IBs Kxeciloncy. at first, refused to
a?.rigu,hi* reasons for withholding the
commis.sious of Wbippcr and Moses,
but after being pressed said that as
no vacancies existed iu those circuits
to which these men had been elected,
lie could Dpt., under bin oath of office,
recognize- the action of the Degisla
lure; that the election was illegal, etc.
At this juncture the. negroes became

by ibe negroes. Chnmhcrluiu,seeing
lliat the game was up with him, slip

ranged to have in close proximity to
the stand, and made haste tor the de
pot, where, with his carpet bag. be
took the 2 o'clock P. M. train for
Columbia. While leaving the ground
where the speaking was going on,
several negroes followed him, saying,
"Leave here, and don't you ever put
your loot in Orangeburg again I"
It has transpired since that if
Chamberlain had remained hero all
ilay be would have got into trouble.
There is a large number of leading
lvtulicals here who swear that if he is
nominated they will vote for Ilnpton.
He was the guest of Dr. Webster, of
agricultural college fame, while here
? a fact which of itself embittered a
crowd of negroes againt him.
[/'Vom IAc A nyuntit Chronicle & Scntcnnl Cor.]
Chamberlain came on the 12
o'clock train and was taken in charge
by the Webster s of Agricultural Col
lege notoriety, and proceeded at once
To the stand, which was about one
quarter of u mile from the village
proper. lie was invited here by the
"trooly Toil," and was the first
speaker. Ere he had said many
words he was interrupted by a mean,
contemptible, self-convicted thief who
was joined by a few other jack alls,
'hyenas and fice dogs of the party,
with a sprinkling of parasites, who,
fat ten rug upon the corruption of
Mo.cesr reign, like maggots in a dead
horse, arc rww out of pocket ami
waiting for something to turn up to
their advantage. They succeeded in
driving Chamberlain from the stand
whith a whole host of vituperative
epithets, which would have graced
well the lowest brothels iu ilic lowest
sinks cf London. 1

The lladical muss meeting l)2gan
its affairs to-day about 1 o'clock at
Howe's Grove. Governor Chamber
lain had arrived by the 11:30 train
together with other representative
men, and he was the first to speak,

The above named acadomy was a
place of pleasure on Friday, the 18th
insf., being the day of the closing
exercises of the school for the scholas
tic year, Prof. G. M. Yancy, teacher,
The morning was clear, and old Sei
poured down his rays of heat, as he
bad done for several days previous;
but this did not prevent the students,
patrons and the citizens from gather
ing at an early hour, to partake in
.and hear the exercises. The little
boys and girls appeared as eager for
the contest as Macdouald's rielcm in
the revolution.
In the examination the students all
acquitted themselves nobly, proving
to the spectators that they had not
spent the session idly, but in deep
study, with good instruction from
their teacher, bt was so satisfactory,
that the patrons said, enough of that,
lets have the speeches, dialogues,
coinpositsons, c"co. There all per
formed their parts with honor to
thorn? elves and credit t<& the Prof.
Ni.t a single failure, fronvthc l?gest to
the smallest, occurred; all were good.
?All was now dismissed for dinner.
Here, I fear, I cannot do justice. I
am afraid if I say pic-nic, it would
fall too far .short, so I will say that
the long table was filled with a feast
of fat thing--, and fine cakes, Aic. The
children were formed in line (ns if
going into bade) by Cllpt. Jas.
Shii*or, who marched-them up to the
long table, where the^wcro halted
and gi\cn the command' to inward
face. The. table was then tilled out
with the holies; after asking a bless
ing from the Great Giver of all good
upon- the bounties He had so richly
hi sowed, the inner-man was satisfied
by partaking of the least before them.
They were replcn'slicd, niid an invita
tion to all to help themselves was
j extended After which they were all
> invited into the church, where, after
i singing and prayer, I>. A. Zeigleri a
graduate of Now berry College, was
introduced, aiid nrnle :i ppweeh on
education and its ndvaiiloges; he did
ample justice to the subject. J. (?.
Waltz, a .student of Mewbcrry Col
lege, was introduced auul made a
speech on human ageuicy, its aims,
and its ends. These uddlrcsscs speak
well for' that institution tjif learning.
The exercises were clWd by some
npproptiutc icmarks by ffrof. Yancy,
Thus the day pnsiefl oil' ^vith general
satisfaction.

PROCLAMATION.
STATE O'F SOUTH CAROT.I^T,
Exkc tri'v re Crt am iiiin,
Coi.i:mi?ia, 8. C.
Whereas the Honorable Jacob P.
Reed, having been elected, was duly
commissioned by me as judge of the
circuit court for the first circuit of this
State to hold the said ollice according
to the Constitution of the said State
for the term of four years beginning
on the 11th day of December, A. 1).
1874, and under his said commission
has been and still is in. the actual
peaceable possession and in the
exercise of the duties of the said
ofliec; and whereas satisfactory evi
dence has been brought before me
that W. J. Whipper, who claims to
be the judge of the said circuit, but
who has neither any commission as
judge, nor has submitted the merits of.'
his claim to the decision of auy tri
bunal whatever, nevertheless is mak
ing preparation and intends to enter
by force upon the exercise of the
duties of the said office, and in that
character to resist and to encourage,
persuade and conspira with other
persons to resist by force the lawful
authority and orders of Judge Reed ;
and whereas a decent regard fpr the
forms and principles adopted for the
determination of conflicting claims to
public offices requires that the claim
of W.J. Whipycr shall be submitted
to and be determined by a competent
legal tribunal before any attempt is
mado by the said W. J. Whipper to
take possession of or exercise the
functions or duties of the said ofliec.
iiow, therefore, I, Daniel H.
Chamberlain, Governor of the State
of South Carolina, in performance of
my duty, to see that the laws of the.
Slate be faithfully executed, and not
only to repress, vigorously and
promptly, till riotous dud tumultuous
disorder in tho State, and also by
proper preparation and precaution to
prevent the same, do hereby proclaim
that any such attempt, as is hereinbe
fore stated, by W. J. Whipper and
those wiio may aid and abet him, will
be regarded and treated by me not
only as an unlawful and riotous dis
turbance of the public peace, but.
also as an outrage upon judicial
authority, not to be tolerated in a
civilized Statt'. Such an attempt at.
the lawless and forcible usurpation of
a judicial ollice, wrong in itself, as an
attempt to oust a judge in possession
without nil previous test of \iU right;
wrong in its influence, as tin example
of lawless disregard of well cstublish
cd forms of law, by one aspiring to
tho judicial office; is flagrantly and
heinously wrong in its manifest ten
dency to create tumultuous riot or a
bloody conflict, a: d to exhibit a con
tagious example, of disregard of law
and right, and of violence which will
bo likely to extend to other portions
of the State now too greatly excited
by passing events and issues.
I do therefore forewarn all citizens
of tiiis Stale against aiding or abet
ting W. J. Whipper in his said un
lawful attempt, and I call upon all
the officers of the law in said circuit
to exert their oflicial powers prompt
ly and vigorously in sustaining the
authority and executing the orders of
Judge Heed, and in putting down all
attempts in any manner to interfere
with his discharge of the duties of his
office.
I further call upon all citizens to
frown upon and discountenance any
and all attempts to usurp the authori
ty of Judge JvCcd, and, when called
upon, to assist in executing bis orders.
And I further proclaim that if the
officers of the law in said circuit shall
fail to discharge their duties as here
inbefore laid down, I shall proceed,
under the law of this State, to organ
ize a sufficient force in the counties
of Orahgcburgand Charleston, under
the command of the lawful deputy
constables < f those counties, under
my own direction and control, to exe
cute promptly and effectually such
orders as may bo issued by Judge
Kccd, as judge of the said circuit,
whenever such orders shall be resis
ted, and to arrest and commit all per
sons who may oppose or resist his
authority, or who may in contempt
thereof aid in the execution of any
order which may be issued by \V. J.
Whipper until his claim to be judge
of said circuit shall have been estab
lished by some tribunal competent to
pass fin al judgment thereon.
Jntestimony whereof I have
hereunto set niy bam1.-and caused
.. the great seal of the State to be
Ji^s/l affixed I at _(.'.>Lv.wti*rJhk?VrS

[From the Journal of Commerce.']
Ascertaining that Whipper, the
would bo judge, was in the city, are
porter of the Jouunal ?i'vCom>rbuck
called upon him last night for the
purpose of finding out whether his
plans had been changed by the
Governor's proclamation. Whipper
lighted the reporter to the parlor.
After a little general conversation,
"business" was resumed. The open
ing question was :
"You've seen the Governor's pro
clamation I suppose?"
"I have."
"Well what do you think of it ?"
"I've scon it for the first timb to
day, and hav'iit considered it mature
ly; but 1 am at a loss to know of any
law which warrants his interference."
"Do you it-till expect to take the
judge's scat?"
"I hope to."
"Do you intend to carry out your
programme announced in your pre
vious interview ?"
"1 said at the time, that I'd take
the scat if the court was in session;
but in consequence of the adjourn
ment that part of the programme can
not be carried out; but 1 consider my
self, after the 2<>th, judge de faetc und
de jure, and shall govern myself'ac
cordingly."
"You hav'nt come to town with
any view of making any demonstra
tion on*tho 2t>th ?"
"Oh ! no, nothing of that sort. My
family is in town, and I merely ctune
down to soo thorn."
j "To what time is the court adjourn
ed ?"
"November, I think."
"Your hands are pretty well tied
then ?''
"I will not so consider them after
; the 20th, so far as tho judgeshiji is
n nccrncd. As I said in it former
? imiw??! ? i gwa?? mwmrmwwmmUmmm ? ??? i im mm m
interview, J shrill not hesitate tor per
form nny of the functions of Judge
in the Circuit nlor that time, unless
on it more careful examination of the
Governor's proclamation and the law,
I lind some law which warrants his
action,"
"You have not, as yet, settled on
any definite time to take your seat?"
".So far us the scat is concerned,
not until a regular or special term of
the Court."
"Have you any idea of calling a
special term ?"
"1 have not; unless in my judgment
there is n necessity for it. Nothing
in reference to my judgment will
create that necessity."
"Do you knosv what the o/Heers of
the court will do in view of this pro
clamation?"
"I do not. I hav'nt seen one of
them.''
Upm being asked to make any
statement that be saw fit in regard to
this matter, Whipper said: "In a
former interview, I stated, in reply to
an interrorogatory from you, that I
expected no violence. My opiui on
in that respect is materially changed.
I think this proclamation will cause
violence."
"Do you think it will cause vio
lence on the part of your adherents,
or Governor Chamberlain's, or
both?"
?'.Not on the part of mine in the
first instance. I think it will encour
age and embolden my opposcrs and
enourage them to commit violence;
while on the other hand, it will not
intimidate a single friend of mine."
"Then you think that violence on
the part of your opposevs will cause
violence on the part of your friends ?"
"It undoubtedly will; but it will
be under the color of law."
"Where do you expect to derive a
support from?a posse V
"Most assuredly. That is-, under
the presumption that the Sheriff will
obey rae."
?'If JjImj sh-oriff refuses to obey you,
then you will hsvc to resort to-the
higher courts?"
"Certuinlly."
would be the consummation of the
affair, and promising to omit all
"trimmings" in his report, the repor
ter withdrew, being escorted to*the
front door by Whipper. A knot of :
colored men were standing at t'tho
fr?nt doer as the reporter ca'me out,
treating the inmates- ?f- Whipper's
house to a vocal serenade.
