Toe Radical Meeting of Saturday
Last.
It Turns Ont to be a Small and Tame
AiTair. The Doughty Chamberlain
Docs Not Put in au Appearance.
Neither do auy of His Prominent
Leaders. They Scud a Parcel ol
Small Fry Instead. And Two
more Companies of Federal Sol
diers. And Commissioners, Deputy
marshals and Detectives Without
Number. But the Democrats Utter
ly Decline to be Betrayed into a
D?ficully, And the Olive Branch
Blossoms Magnificently Through
out tho Day !
Cn Saturday last, Mr. McKinlay, the
popular arid impartial correspondent of
tho Charleston' Sews ?? Courier, was in
our midst, fox the purpose of reporting
tuesday's doings. His excellent report,
in the shape of a telegraphic dispatch to
the Kars d' Courier, wo publish'in an
other column. His headed "Army in
Edgefield." Mr. McKinlay also gives
us very important information concern
ing the movements and sayings of (><-i\
Rn.prcr, thc Fedoral Commander of ti.o
Department of tho South.
To this report we have but lillie to
add. In fact as wo attended clo?ePy upon
t'io Radical meeting in tho Academy
grove, we were eye witness to but little
that transpired a'mong our compatriots
upon tho public square. At this meet
ing, Lawreneo Cain presided. The lour
speakers were Smalls, Che colored Con
gressman : Fillebrown, a white carpet
bagger, who is Comptroller General
Dunn's chief clerk : Brayton, another
white carpetbagger, resident in Aiken,
and Radical candidate for Solicitor in
this judicial circuit; and Hayne, the
colored Secretary of State, who is also
tho present nominee for that office.
Smalls isa dark brown, corpulent negro,
ol' excelleut countenance, who spoke
strongly in behalf of his party, but re
spectfully and without bitterness. Fille
brown proved tobo simply ? most in
sufferable old twaddler, who confused
and bored the negroes beyond measure.
JJDrayioii isa ?n?alookiti'g^-mfln, who is
evidently a very shrewd demagogue. Ho
is a ready and a good speaker, and on
this occasion was moderate and cautious.
Hayne, born and bred in South Carolina,
has but little negro bl* od in bim. and is
still quite young. He is almost perfect
ly white, and, like Smalls, is corpulent
and of excellent countenance. He is in
telligent and humorous. And, like
Smalls again, his speech was strongly
partisan, but without any particular ac
rimony. The two colored speakers-as
is always the case-struck ns as being far
more honest and kindly than tho two
whites. For malevolence and misrepre
sentation always commend us to a white
carpel-bagger.
The crowd of negroes in attendance
was large ; tut still small-very small
compared to tho crowds that came ont
on such occasions two or three years
back. And tney behaved themselves
well.
Extremely few whites were present at
this meeting. During Hayne s speech,
he made some allusion to Gen. Butler,
which, although respectful, in fact com
plimentary, admitted of a coloring that
Gen. Butler, who was standing near by,
wished lo remove. Consequently the
General requested to be heard for a few
minutes, which request was declined, in
very respectful terms, by the Chairman.
During the whole course of the speak
Ingytne marshals and detectives-an ex
tremely nasty-looking set of fellows
slunk to and fro around thc outskirts of
thc crowd, bnt found no work for their
manly hands.
The meeting adjourned about 3 o'clock
and before snn sot both whites and blacks
had quietly departed irom our town.
The Negro Nominating Convention.
The County Nominating Convention
of the Radlcd party met in our Court
House on Thursday morning last, and,
after a boisterous, disorganized, rudder
less, ridiculous session of three days,
adjourned on Saturday, having accom
.^rrtislicd nothing but thc nomination of
? Cain for the Senate. As regards the rest
of the nominations they could in no
wise agree, and they finally Concluded
to leave it to their Executive Committee
to appoint tho remainder of the ticket.
Tho said Committee, if wo mistake not,
is presc?t in our town to-day, Tuesday,
striving to accomplish this business.
The party is evidently much divided und
demoralized. McDevittisin jail-whee
lie ought to remain for the rest of his
natural life-and they have no leader.
Current Reports as to thc movements
of the Army In Edgefield.
Merril!, who has been assigned to duty
in Edgefield, Aiken and Barnwell, it is
reported will arrive in onr town to day
o?.jto.^..?*^o?f accompanied by cavalry
and artillery-and make this his head
quart CTS. Wo know not the grounds for
this report. It i? further reported-and
upon very good authority-tintt arrests
are to bo made among us soon. How
soon wo cannot learn-nor upon what
plea or pretense.
Thc two now companies of infantry
that arrived on Saturday, have gone iuto
bnrracks, with the others, at tho old
Saluda House.

tho enjoyment of peace and a quiet con

Fifty negroes were up to-day from
Ellenton to make affidavits, after which
infamous business against thc peace and
comfort of our good citizens, (hey were
remunerated by g?nerons Marshal Wil
liams at $1.50 per head. The money was
received l>y the blacks with expressions
of exultation and victory over the whites.
This farcical affair bas had the worst
effect on the deluded negro* s, and if it
is not counteracted by wise counsel fur
ther trouble may bo expected from them.
All excitement has died out among the
whites.
The Radical Infamy.-Persecution of
Peaceable Citizens.
The Radical carnival of infamy still
continues in South Carolina. As will be
seem by the above telegrama, about thir
ty peaceable citizens of Aiken county
wete arrested Thursday by Deputy Uni
ted States MarshaN Yates, Bourdin,
Canton :*nd Blackwell, l acked by Fed
eral soldiers. The arrested parties were
carried before- United States Commis
sioner Boozer at Aiken. They were rep
resented by Gen. Connor, Maj. W. T.
Gary, LeRoy P- Youmans, Esq., and the
prosecution by District-Attorney Corbin,
Thirteen citizens of Beach Island were
arr, sted Thursday and marched through
the heavy rain to Aiken where they were
placed in jail and kept without lire or
f-od. Ono old "citizen who'waa not only
noi aide to ride horseback but could not
even walk, was among the arrested par
lies. As an evidence of tile peaceable
spirit of the propio iL is only necessary
to state that a gentleman represented by
the Radicals to be continually thirsting
for b:?*>d, was arrested in his own bouse
by one of the deputy marshals without
an escort.
Tho report of thc arrest of General
Hagood was not correct. Severn! ci?i
zetis of Barnwell county had been ar
rested, however.
Tlic Upshot-Chamberlain amt Corbin
Back Dowul-Nu Warrant Blanks
Trial Postponed,
Special Dispatch to thc Chronicle and
Sentinel.
AIKEN, October 13.
All parties gone home, as tlifl authori
ties-had no warrant blanks. The negro
witnesses were paid $1.50 for swearing.
Tito parties bailed arc summoned to
meet in Columbia, at the session of tho |
United States Corni, or. the fourth Mon
uay in November. About fifty negroes
from Ellenton come to swear. The town
ls quiet. Chamberlain has been invited
to meet Hampton here on the 20th.
The True Mmy of the Ellenton Riot.
The New York Herald has sent down
a reporter to Aiken for tho express pur
pose.of-investigating and reporting the
Ellenton riot This reporter is not. only
a sensible man, but-most hu ?.no of-hn
mense energy. His account, published
in tile Ifo uld a tow days back, makes a
truthful and splendid showing for thc
white people of Aiken, Ed gefiel d and
Barnwell. It is full, minute, ca refill and
exhaustive, and bears upon its face the ]
imprint of truth and accuracy.- There
is nothing lo justify warrants by United
States commissi? uers or arrests by mar
shals. In the. light of this document,
tho programme of Corbin anti Chamber
lain isseon to be wholly unwarranted
and infamous to the last degree.
And we would not be surprised if it
were this very document, given to the
world by the Herald, that has frighten
ed Grant and caused him to put a bit in
Mr. Chamberlain's mouth-causing him
LO weaken in the knees as regards these
arrests in Aiken and Barnwell.
The State Fair in Columbia.
The opening of our annual State Fair
in Columbia has been postponed from
the 10th to thc 21st of N ;vcmber. Very
unusual efforts arc being mado to ren
der this Exhibition a'grand success; and
the people of Edgefield, notwithstand
ing the exciting and engrossing political
canvass, should undoubtedly take an
interest in the matter, and contribute,
by their presence, and by specimens of |
their products and their industry, to the
success of the undertaking.
Tu thc Members of thc County Demo
cratic Executive Committee.
Thenext meeting of our County D?mo
cratie Executive Committee will take
place in our Court House on Monday
next, the 23rd instant. A full attendance
at this m eting is very earnestly desired'.
Indeed it is a matter of the highest im
portance that ci erg Club should bo rep
resented.
Thc Ked Hill and Saluda Meetings.
Tho last of tho regular Democratic
Mass Meetings appointed 03' the County
Executive Committee, will take place at
R< d Hill on Saturday next.
Tho local Mass Meeting at Col. Clary's
plantation, on Saluda,'will take place on
Wednesday of next week, tho 20th fn
?tant. Tho hospitable and patriotic elli
zens of tho neighborhood arc making
largo and liberal preparations; and
everybody is invited.
Fourteen Military Posts in South
Carolina.
Company G., Eighteenth U S. Infan
try; left Columbia on Thursday morning
last, for Newberry. This makes tho
fourteenth military post established in
the Stato. The grand jury of Abbeville,
composed of.five colored men and eight
white, presented Governor Chamberlain
to-day for defaming the character of tho
people of that county by issuing his
proclamations, declining that domestic
violence existed in that county.
Gen. Hillier Hits Gov. Chamberlain
Again.
Genend M. C Butler has written a Jot
ter to Col. Haskell, Chairman of tho
Democratic Executive Committee, in
which he says of Chamberlain's boasted
"authentic legal evidence to substantiate
every fact and statement" made by bim,
Chamberlain, that tho same statement
was made by Chamberlain, Stone it Co.,
with reference to the " Hain burg Hor- j
rey," and those persons charged with
complicity in it, and yet, when tbo Court '.
convened in SeptoHlbert,lh"ey not only
?had,no legal evidcnee,\birt bad no "indict- |
mente-prepared, - notwit'iviamlin'r/ th* ]
parties who had been .chtrged - with :ther
crime were all ready and anxious to loe i
?en. Gary's Rldyc Speech-Continued s
from 1st Page. a
These facts should prove to the Repub- P
?cans and negroes -that if we had the c
lower, we do not wish to re-enslave them ; 0
hat we intended to put them back into 0
lavery has been the hackneyed lie of the s
arpet-bagger for the last eight years; 1
heir presence here is like an irritating ^
:ancer upon the body politic of thc State.
The second grand mistake that our lead- li
;rs before the war committed, was the re
usal to accept the proposition made by F
he North, of gradual emancipation with *
Compensation. This compromise would
tave bepn carrying out Mr. Calhoun's .
theory of- concurrent majorities when there
was a difference or interest involved. It
would seem {.bat he had the genius to ?
evolve the ni]e, but not the practical wis- J
dom to apply it. It ia a remarkable fact 1
that nene of thc great leaders of the c
South ever discussed the difference be- :
tween free labor and slave, labor in regard 1
to its profitableness-, they seemed to limit
their inquiries to its booral, religious and
constitutional relations to society arid the J
government.
In a speech of Mr. Stepbwjs, ot Georgia. "j
he declared That African slavery was the '
corner-stone of the Southern 'c cV.cderacy, !
when the enlightened public1 \>niniyn of j
iiie world had proclaimed its doom, f
Bul, ii* our great lenders made mistakes {
before thc war, the leaders bf the North ;
have maje blunders since, that far sur
passes them. Truthfully has Touche said,
"that a political fault-, is more than a
crime.'''
By suddenly striking the shackles from
four million slaves at once clothing them
with all of the rights and privileges of
citizenship, making thorn the equals of
freemen of the Caucasian raes ; a race
superior in physical, mora!, religious and
intellectual uevelopment: a race thst God
created in his own image, and gave to
them tho dominion of the air, sea and
earth. Tliev have, from the earliest dawn
of the wcrld, b;en thc champions of liber
ty, and the standard-bearers of a progres
sive civilization.
The dogma of Jefferson, that all men
arc created free and equal, was adopted
from the licentious political philosophy
that obtained in France about the time of
the Declaration of the Independence of
America. It has no truth in observation
or the laws of nature. In France their
idea of liberty is universal equality. Be
fore the law all citizens should enjoy
equality, but not equality of position and
condition in society.
In the order of creation there is no
equality. Thc Caucasian, Mongol an,
Malay. Indian, Esquimaux and negro
are each superior in the. order in which
they are named, and each dissimilar in ap- .
pcarance and nature. Thc lion, tiger, bear,
leopard, wolf and fox are different and
unequal. The leviathan, ffhale, porpoise,
a:id sturgeon are dissimilar. THO eagle,
pelican and hawk are unlike. If we iook
to the sun, moon and stars, we see " that
one star diilereth from another star in
glory.'*
The sands of the sea, the leaves of the
forest, are all diverse. The rose bud of
Pa-stum whose bloom nevc-i dies, is differ
ent from the rose of Sharon, whose bloom
fades, wither0 and perishes forever. Thus
it appears that inequality, dissimilarity
and difference are in conformity to the
laws of nature. Why God made the Cau
casian the ruler of races, the liou of the
forest, (he eagle of the fowls of the air.
tho leviathan of the sea, is beyond the
ken of man, it is bidden in the beautiful
mystery of creation.
"Liberty when forced upon a people un
lit, tor it, invariably proves a curse, ratlin
than a bl uing. No people eau long en
joy mote liberty than that to which their
situation, education, morality, virtue and
intelligent cati le them : any attempt
lo ionic upon I hem a greater amount, must
in its inevitable re-action eventuate in
confusion, disorder and anarchy. Liberty,
though a great boon, intended foi the ad
vancement and development of mankind,
is inferior in ils influence upon the desti
nies of a people to the great principle of
protection that underlies (he formation of
all governments.
The protection ol' life, liberty and prop
erty is the crown-jewel in the diadem of
ewry constitution, whether written upon
parchment or the hearts of citizens. U
is this great constitutional principle ihai
throws iu broa^and strong shield around
the wea!; and powerful, ?le: rich and poor,
the white and black, the Radical and
Democrat, it ii inscribed oj>on thciLind
arda of filden and Hendricks*, ol Hamp
ton and Simpson ; it is the grand mono
gram of good government It i-.; such
protection will restore peace in the
[; ear ts of tho?e who have been engaged
in a great civil war. It is such protection
that will establish the bands of friendship
between former slaves and masters. It is
such protection that will enable the people
of the Union to develop the resources oi
tins great country, and cause them to per
fect and perpetuate the principles of self
government.
lt will make the United States, in fact,
what it claims to be in theory, the land of
the free and the home of the brave. The
second grand mistake of the would-be
statesmen of the North, was over-looking
the fact that was proclaimed, by the men
who formed the Constitution; that they
made this government a white man's gov
ernment. The original Constitution ex
cluded negroes and Indians from becoming
a part ol' the body politic, thus making it
a homogeneous government.
The wisdom that they exhibited in this
exclusion of inferior races is shown by
contrast with the opposite action of those
who, in tne year 1?24, framed the Consti
tution of the Republic of the United
States of Mexico.
At that time Mexico was the equal of
the United States, in all of the elements
of National greatness and prosperity ;
with a territory bounded by the Atlantic
and Pacific Oceans, stretching from the
Sabine Kiver to the Equator, with a coast
on the Pacific nearly four thousand miles
long, with a climate of great salubrity,
with a soil fruitful in the production ol' .
cotton, coffee, sugar, corn, wheat, oats,
and all of the tropical fruits. A lund
where " whispering hopes" '.vere breathed
by tiie high bred Castillian lo the dark
eyed maiden of his choice, amidst orange
groves and lemon bowers ; where, too, the
Indian wooed the belle of the forest, in
the misty mases of the war-dance, and
the sooty breasted negro, mated with the
dark daughters of Africa, without the
formal ann irksome bonds of matrimony.
Under the shadows of mellow moon
light they breathed an air perfumed by
the rose and magnolia, whose sensuous
undulations were alone disturbed by the
sweet trills of (he meeking bird, all lived
lor a time, m seeming happiness and har
mony, upon the J ?ch luxuriance of this
wonderful country. This magnificent
country, that had been touched w*tb such
partiality by the lavish 1 and of nature,
adopted a constitution identical in form
and principle with that crcab-d in 17cS7 by .
the framers of oar Constitution. The
only diff?rence between them was that
the" Republic of the United Slab's of
Mexico included in their constitution
whites, mestizoes, Indians and negroes, in
a common c'tizensbip.
Fifty-two yean have pas-ed, the white
population has diminished to one-half ..!'
their original numbers; they have new a
mongrel population that has inherited thc
vices of the different races. In this short
period this Republic, by the adoption ol' a
Constitution at war with the ordinands
of God and the laws of nature, has be
come a splendid wreck and a pitiable
ruin, which must serve ns a lesson for
those who would escape a similar demor
alization, corruption, degradation, and
destruction.
Time alone will prove the effect ol' ,
those, who from hatred; malice, revenge,
and a love of party supremacy, have
forced univeiv.il freedom and universal
suffrage upon a people who were unpre
pared for it, thereby doing an injustice lo
the negro and commit I .ng a crime against
tho white people of the Republic. With ,
the reckless spirit of a "Madame dc Brin
villiers, they have infused the poison of
four million slaves, suddenly sot free, ?nip ,
the blond of thirty-six million white peo- j
pie. For eight long years ..it-has.festered i

G jva?oi. O.T.'Morton,' in 1SG5, in Ins' j
nessages and speeches to thc. people'of
Indiana, warned his party against this
uicidal policy. There has already 6et in
reaction in the minds of the peo
i]e of the North, against thia great
rin. 3 against nature and the laws
{' good "government. As an evidence
f it, President Grant has sent in a mes
ag. to Congress, favoring a system of
uahfied Boflrago to take effect in thc
ear A. D 1890. lt is the best' thing he
ias done since he has been in power and
? intended to reach this national evil,
iod grant that it may do so, before the
toison converts the body politic into a
nitrifying and dying monster.
Bot in leaving the calamities that affect
he National Government, I must consider
he misfortunes that new besot our State.
Little did I ever di?n m that I should
ee the proud escutcheon of this State
Iraggcd in the dirt as it bas been for the
asl eight years, under the triumphal
?hariots of the carpet-bagger, ne^ro'and
calawag; the logical resnits of'the false
egislation of the Republican party.
This State is composed of gallant men,
md glorious women, the splendid types

.vhich feels a stain like a won nd."..51 haul
loped that for each wrong tu.d' insult*]

){ an avenging Nemesis, would nave
leaped from ' the scabbard of a thousand |
sf her sons. But their spirit of manhood'
:tnd heroic enterprise .has been slumbering
like Sampson shorn of his locks.
I see to-day that the tires of patriotism
have been rekindled, and are burning
upon her altai's. Thal brave suns are
rallying around her. from*the mountains
to the seaboard, and that they will rescue
her from the degrading supremacy of the
ignorant and the corrupt rule of'the car
pet-bagger.
During the long years that misrule has
thrown its shadow over our State, our
glorious oki Palmetto, which symbolizes
our historic past, has been kept from with
ering and dying by the tears of our beau
tiful women. lu the glorious future,
should it become necessary, it will be
