INCIDENTS OF THE, DARK -DAYS. j~hots A bout -thle Famuous Dual GOV ernimcet in Soutlh Carolinta-Tho Bloodless Rtevolution of* 1876. The Anderson Mail recently' publish11. d thatfollowing address of Gol. .James L. O, r upon the campaign of 1876 and the famous Wallaco House of which he was i consticuous member, which was delivered beforo the Daughtors of the Confederacy in Anderson. I]ls aI dress Is full of valuable facts, and Is as follows: You are uiite familiar with the canusos and feets of the Ievolution of 1776i, when the colonies declared to the mother country that. they would not submit to "Taxation without reprsen. tation" and tlat 'they would spend millions for do fenso, but not one cent fovatribute." - lngland was most piow Qrful the colonls 61m1l and poor, but Inipelled by the spirit of indepen. once and love of freedom, they cast fear and expedicncy to the whidb And sht)ok the Wrones of every kingdon in I'1 u rope by their privations and ultimate sie cess. That has been chronicled in song and ,.ory, and every boy and girl is famniliar' with the stirring i niidents transpiririT front the battle of Lex ington to hing's Mguntaiu and York towl'. * One Iridred years after that in lei, a bloodless revolution* oceturred in South Caroluia, wh4ch was 'just as im portant in its rciutltts to our owI Iteo plo and State, which has not een written about and is fading fast from memory, a- thoje who took part in its enaqtimont are passing away. At your request I have jOtted down my recol lections of tbe incidents occuring in that, campaign hoping the y might in struct land interest you, for tile State was then submitting to "tiaxation with out representation" and "contril)uting millions for revenue." The -i Tpublicans obtaintied possession of the State provernment in INtis by the elecAon of it. K. Scott as governor, and the other ollices were filled w iLth carpiet bitggers and scalawags a1nd ne g roes. Scott was s icceeded by F. .1. Moses, Jr., and a eon diLion of corru p tion and incompjetence provailed whichi was never equalled in any goveiIIt(Ai. Cham berlain followed in IST-I and while lie was personally honest, he was surrounded by such a set of Lbicvez that weulation permeated every de partnient of the State Lovern meint. Tihe bonded debt of the State hadl in creased from about six million doil lars to over twenty-sevi;n million itt these seven years, notwithstantding the fact that taxes were increased year by year until they becamo unbearable. The [Iouse of Representatives composed of 126 i members in 187-1 5 had about twenty-four Democrats, about ten white I t1publicis and the balance ne groc;, the Speaker being a blavk, cor rutA mnd insolent negro natted E.jiott. The white people of the State were becoming very restless under the dom inAtion of the nogio and earpet bag ge-, but tho. crowning infamy which aroused 1,h man hood of tule S ate from the moluintains to the sea wi.9 the olec tion of W. J. Whilpper,.an ignorant, dishounest and dissipated'hegro, and I*. J and th: worst degeniateln south Carolina, to the bench in 1875. The judicinry is the bulwark of freedom of every gov ernment and .whcn.t)jit, too, wts in vaded by tha if.dfant, corrupt and licentious; our people felt that the-e was no longer any hope and all would be ruined. You can: sciruAl.9 $psijder- what a stupendous undertaking It was in 187i to th'row off this yoke of tyranny and despottism. The negroes had more than two votec-to thbo w9hte people's one. All the uflices from Governor to con stable were in their hands, including all the election machintery of the State. Elvery otlicer in the Fecderal gover-n ment was not only an avowed .tjpub Ilecan but an ardent partisan, and thie str-ong arm of the government as rep resented by ilitary garrisonts were scattered all over the whole State. Many of our owni 1people beliieved it would be imutossible to succeed anid that an c ifort, would hut incite the opi pressor's to tighton the thumtscrews. Under such cirecumstances you can understand that the stanudar-d bear-ers should possess above every otier qlual-1 Iiicat,-on,..cour-age and determination.1 Out' ,candliate for Gove-nor, Glen. Wade Ilampi~ton, was the personilica 1,ivn of. these, and- the .ethXr 'ollieors dow n to the members of thle lIagislatutre were chosen for thesei gyiities. The result was that while there'have prob ably been in the histo-y of the State mtore p~ollshedl a'nd bi'illiani, State ohli coe, in my judgment South Carolina never- had a body of ollicors, taon as a yvhole, of htigher courauge,: sense of honor and determination. The .canvaiss of 187(i will ncver 1)e forgotten by any person whojtook part in l.t o'. witnessed the piaraldes. and meetings. l'ixcitement, was at the highest point, anod at every mteeting hiundreds and 'at many of theta thouis ands, of negroes attended, anid whi to mhn were there expecting r-iots anid bloo'dshdd. i'The D)em-ocrats attenld matny of the I litbIlecan mteetings andi inalsted oin 'divid ing tinte," that, i htaving joi~int di t issionts -wheIthier ih wits conttautLd to or ntot. T1he htistory oif I-.he wor-ld does tnot furnish a ptrecedent, of ourm co(nditioni at, that, tIime.

T1ho light was a desperateo one, and on' 'tho'one sl'de wet-c- numbers, power and the State and National govenment, on the othetr brains, cou agd and rubacty.

Sutaionl, ' morl1 and p1hysleal.a.was u'ed, 1ni every con cclvable argunwnt iem ployttd to show the. negroes that their interest could only be subserved by their whito neigh bore.

Another old i fellow had come to the election and re 3eived for 'his work thit day some I 1-heap eigars, a box of Sulphiir matches t ild a <iuart of pop skull whiskey.
