Consummion. ^ THAT PARTHIAN SHOT. got. PERRY'S REPLY ro CHAMBERLAIN'S SLANDEROUS ADDRESS. The Kx-l’aurper ('onrlrted Ont or hi* Own Month— Puritanical Civilisation In Danger. Hon. D. II. Chamberlain: Sir^ Your farewell address “to the Republicans of South Carolina’’ calls for the execration of every hon« erable man in the State. It is une qualed in audacity, falsehood and hy« pocrisy. When forced by the indig nation of the people, and a sense of justice on the part of the President to abandon your fraudulent usurpation of power in South Carolina, you seek, by the most insidious teachings, to stir up the deepest malignant hostility and revenge between the races. It would seem froni the language of your address that your fell purpose is to urge the ignorant and credulous pcopWwhom you have so long duped to riots, insurrections and massacres! You .are, indeed, sir, an enigma in morals and politics. After libelling President Hayes by charging him with a cowardly abandonment and betrayal of his friends, and with be ing false to the Constitution which he had sworn to Support, you conclude your hypocritical address by saying liis “ motives and purposes are un questionably honorable and juitriot- ic” Was there ever such glaring inconsistency before in so short an article? Moreover, after slandering the peo ple of South Carolina with the most atrocio .s falsehoods, and living to soiv amongst them the seeds of hatred and revenge, which are to ripen into mufder and a blaze of incendiarism all over the State, you have the dar ing hypocrisy to say that you “ dc voutly pray that peace, justice, free dom and prosperity may hereafter be the portion of every citizen of South Carolina!” Dc you suppose, sir, that any one who reads your address will be fool enough to be deceived by you canting hypocrisy? You Have the reputation, with all your meanness and treachery, of being a man of tal ents and culture, and it is amazing that yotfr fiendish feelings should have betrayed you into such inconsistency! But your actions have been in the past, as inconsistent as your words. It is well known that you Were elected Governor of the State two or three years agd, by the tttost cftfriipt wing of your party, and in opposition to the wishes and exertions of all the respectable men of both parties. In the conrse of a few short months you denounced these corrupt partisans in unmeasured terms; you declared yourself a Reformer, and said that your former friends and supporters were too corrupt to hold public offi ces. You spoke of the imminent dan ger to the civilization of the Hugue not and Puritan, the Round Head and Cavalier. Many good men were decivcd by y :ur artful hypocrisy ; you declared that you would not accept a nomina tion lor re-election by this corrupt wing of the Radical party. But as soon as t-he Democratic party had made their nomination for Governor, you said to Judge Cocke, as he testi fied before the Congressional Coin.- mittee, that you would s;-e to it, that Corbin’s diabolical sclieme of * having thirty or forty negroes killed to s'op the enthusiasm in favor of Hampton, should be carried out! Such an expression of fiendish treach ery would have done credit to the darkest days of the Spanish inquisi tion, or the liloodiest leaders of Saint Bartholomew’s massacre! You then appealed to the corrupt leaders of your party, whom you had so scorn fully denounced, for their support, and was renominated by them. You commenced your address by the utterance of a truth, a disgrace ful truth to the people of South Caro lina, and the only truth which it con tains—you were, “by the will of the Republican party, made Governor of the State in 1874.” The next sen tence, that you were elected to the same office again last fill, is a most notorious falsehood, known to be finch by every one, so declared by the Supreme Conrt of the State and every Circuit Judge on the bench. The President of the United States by r all the and his entire Cabinet have tacitly admitted it to be false, and the whole press and American people believ to be false. The votes retu the managers of election frauds and repeating of ytfur voters show that Governor Hampton was elected by a majorita/™ ten or twelve hundred v^ptes, t<siii\&-M6erithou sand of the most/-respectable of your own party doling for him. And yet, you have the-andacity to say, in the face of all these facts, that you were re elected, and when driven from the office by the scorn and contempt of the people and the decree of the Courts, you still sign your name “D. H. Chamberlain,-Governor of South Carolina!” In the language of the arraignment of a murder and traitor, none but one “ devoid of all social duty and with a heart fatally bent on mis chief,” could have uttered such atrocious falsehoods as you have done in the following sentences: • ft.- ’>• *1 . “ From authentic evidence, it is shown that r ot less than one hundred of your number were murdered be*- cause they were faithful to their principles and exercised rights sol emnly guaranteed to them by the nation! You were driven from your homes, denied employment, robbed of the earnings of yoflr honest indus try, hunted for your lives like wild beasts, your families outraged and scattered, for no offence, except your peaceful and firm determination to exercise your politic.’! rights.” These monstrous falsehoods you have published in the face of the concurrent testimony of the military authorities of the United States in South Carolina and all honest, truth ful men of both parties, that^ the election was orderly, quiet, and’peace ful. There was no violence or out break at any poll in the State. Nor was their the slightest disturbance after the election. It is true, that in pursuance of your wicked and dam nable designs disclosed to Judge Cooke, there were riots and blood shed before the election at Hamburg, Aiken, Chombahee, Charleston and Cain Hov, in which your own parti sans were t1ie aggressors in every in stance.-- Instead of attempting to suppre& these riots you ran off and left the 8tAWe. * 15ift- in oVdef to an fitrl tlie bld&ly shirt, ori the . eve of the Presidential election, and give notoriety to these riots, yon ordered several hundred of the most resDCetn- ble gentlemen in the State to be ar rested. When they came forward and demanded a trial in open conrt it was refused l»y your minions, and in all probability never will be ac corded to them. In the Cain Iloy massacre, where the negroes sudden ly fell upon the white people and killed eight or ten of them, you never had one of them arrested ! The gravemen of your insidnous complaint against the President is that he will not keep a large portion of the United States army in South Carolina to maintain you in your usurpation of the Executive authority of the State, and save harmless the rogueish carpet-baggers and scalla- wags, in plundering and robbing the people, oppressing and tyranizing over them.” You know well enough the President has no power to de cide who is the Governor of a sover eign State, or interfere with its Leg islature. This power might belong to a military despot, in the govern ment of his Provinces, but cannot be exercised in a Federal Republic where all power is vested in the peos pie. You deny, sir, the right of a Dem ocratic House of Representatives in Congress, to withhold appropriations for the army, when they see that army kept up for the purpose of trampling oil the rights of the States, and crushing out all the Republican principles of our government. The House of Representatives would be the assassins of liberty if they made an appropriation for such a pur pose. I will not notice further your most extraordinary address, which em bodies the basest and most malig nant feeling of your nature, and proves you to be a bad hearted and danger ous man. In Rome yon might have n a Cataline, in France yon could e figured in the last century as Robespiere, but in South Carolina you may yet be conspicuous in the penitentiary, if all that is said of y on by your former associates and parti sans be true. Yours, &c. F. B. Perry. Rock Bottom -m-m-h-m-m-*- I WORKING ON A CASH +++++ I *** Laying for Him.
