THE EAGLE.
Friday Morning, September 15, 1876.
NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC TICKET
For President:
SAMUEL J. TILDEN,
OF NEW YORK.
For Vice President:
THOS. A. HENDRICKS,
OF INDIANA.
For Governor :
Gen. A. H. Colquitt.
For Oongresiis
Ninth Congressional District :
Xlotl. 18. FBI. Hill.
The arrest of Tweed at the Spanish
fort of Vigo is confirmed. He fled to
Spain from Cuba and the Captain-
General telegraphed to have him ar
rested. He will be turned over to the
American Government.
The Germans, who are Democrats
this year, are strong in numbers. They
have in round numbers twenty thous
and votes in Indiana, fifty thousand
votes in Ohio, fifty thousand in Wis
consin and sixty thousand in illinois.
Alabama and Arkansas both show
unmistakably that the negroes have at
length formed a just estimate of their
Republican rulers, and that, if permit
ted the free expression of their will,
they will assist in removing corrupt
officials from power.
Col. Allen D. Candler is triumphing
over all opposition in Hall county for
the Legislature. The county will hon
or herself by returning him. Georgia
cannot afford to dispense with the ser
vices of such men at this critical time
in x.er history.—Atlanta Common
wealth.
The Executive Committee of the
Democratic party of Wisconsin have
requested Governor Smith to speak at
Milwaukee and Madison. We regret
that Gov. Smith is unable to accept
the invitation; but the compliment
paid in extending it, will be very grati
fying to all Georgians.—Augusta
Chronicle.
Au independent candidate has one
or two purposes to serve. The gratifi
cation of a personal ambition or the
gratification of a personal spite.—
Whenever you see one running, you
can safely conclude that his soul is
filled by a big idea of his own glory or
else it is embittered with|a dead
ly hate toward a man or set of \men. —
In either case he is not a mau to be
trusted. —Rome Courier.
The Democracy of Ohio are catch
ing the Indiana fever, and getting to
work in splended temper. All the di
visions in the party are healed. Thur
man and Ewing, Payne and Pendle
ton, the Cleveland Plaindealer and the
Cincinnati Enquirer are nobly striving
to see which can best serve the cause
of Tilden and reform. This State was
counted certain for Hayes. It is now
honestly doubtful. Unless the tide
turns, by October it will be Democra
tic by tens of thousands.
Secretary Chandler has returned to
Washington and resumed his official
duties, as well as his patriotic interest
of guiding the national Republican
party in such groves as may seem to
him surest to lead to victory. As chair
man of the Republican executive com
mittee he has scanned the field care
fully, and says: “I am content with
what is being aiid will be done; every
thing is moving in excellent order.”
All of which,as far as the South is con
cerned, means more troops.
Col. Langston, of Hall county, has
withdrawn from the race for Represen
tative. He is a gentleman of a high
order of intellect,- and would have rep
resented his county well. Col. Can
dler seems to have the inside track,
and old Hall could not do better than
to return him for the third term. He
is a good Legislator, honest, ener
getic, and watchful of the interest of
his immediate section; he maintained
himself well, and made oue of the
mOst efficient members from upper
Georgia.—Gwinnett Herald.
Gen. Sherman declines to speak at
Republican political meetings, and
says he shall devote the remainder of
his days to his profession. We sup
pose he means the profession of arms,
though at one time the people down
this way thought he was a graduate of
some incendiary and poultry stealing
college. We hope he don’t intend to
devote himself to the latter any more,
if he does, good bye gin houses and
chicken coops, and farewell lambs,
pigs and yearling heifers.—Griffin
News.
Already has the despicable work
commenced in the South. In Ala
bama objectionable citizens, who are
considered likely to support Tilden
and Hendrick, are being hurried out
of the way, upon warrants issued
against them for false and trumped
up charges. This is one of the most
despicable ways by which a Govern
ment can try to perpetuate its power,
and those who adopt these measures,
cannot wonder when their names are
received with marks of contempt and
derision whenever they are men
tioned.
Political Morals.
Since “the party of great morals
ideas” has been in power, they seem
to have adopted the idea that every
thing is fair in politics. “Everything
is fair in love and war,” was the old
maxim; but they have amended it.—
The most damaging falsehoods are re
sorted to for the purpose of defeating
an opponent. The fairest reputations
are blackened with calumny. Men
who have grown hoary in the service
of their country, and whose highest
aspiration for a life-time has been to
promote the public good are not
spared. They are traduced and ma
ligned without mercy. To such an
extent has this evil grown that thou
sands of the best men in the country
have been driven out of or deterred
from entering public life. The mo
ment a man becomes a candidate for a
position of honor and trust at that
moment he becomes an object for the
shafts of slander and vituperation.—
Cross-road politicians and hireling
newspaper scribblers at once put upon
him ahd hound him down to the day
of his election, when he again becomes
a respected citizen and no one utters a
syllable of reproach against him until
he happens again to be in the way of
the scheming and unscrupulous profes
sional politicians, when he is again
held up to his countrymen as a vile
wretch, guilty of every crime known
in the political calendar.
This disposition to misrepresent and
slander political opponents, is one of
the crying sins of the age. It is doing
more in this country to shake the con
fidence of the people in their govern
ment than all other causes. The peo
ple have become so accustomed to
hearing their public servants abused
that many of them have concluded
that all who hold office are dishonest;
that to give a man an office makes
him a thief. Such was not the case in
the better days of the Republic. There
were parties then, but they were ac
tuated by no such devilish spirit as
moves the professional politician now,
but by a spirit of generous rivalry—
such a spirit as prompted Adams to
characterize Jefferson, his rival, as the
“Colossus of Liberty.”
We publish in this issue the master
ly address of Col. Geo. N. Lester, the
Chairman of the State Executive Com
mittee, and commend it to the careful
consideration of every patriot. The
picture is not over-drawn. This year
is fraught with events which involve
the fate of the nation. A perpetuation
of Radical rule means empire and the
loss of every vestige of that liberty
bequeathed to us by our ancestors.
The triumph of Democracy means a
return to prosperity and the methods
of peace. It means low taxes, honesty
in official position, and the supremacy
perpetuity of the Constitution of
our fathers. Let every freeman go to
the polls and vote, and not stop with
this, but get his neighbor to go and
vote the Democratic ticket. Thus and
thus only can the nation be redeemed.
Gen. A. H. Colquitt and Col. Geo. N.
Lester are now on a tour through the
upper part of the State. They spoke
at Dawsonville, Dawson county, on
Tuesday last; at Jasper, Pickens coun
ty, on Thursday. Will speak to-day
at Ellijay, Gilmer county; to-morrow,
(the 16th) at Morgan, Fannin county;
Monday, the 18th, at Blairsville, Union
county; Tuesday, the 19th, at Hiwas
see, Towns county; Thursday, the 21st,
at Cleveland, White county; Friday,
the 22d, at Dahlonega, Lumpkin coun
ty; Saturday, the 23d, at Alpharetta,
Milton county. The people should
turn out eu masse and hear these dis
tinguished speakers upon the vital
issues of the day.
Yellow Fever.
This scourge in Savannah, we re
gret to state, instead of abating, is
still on the increase, and in a very
malignant form. On Thursday two
hundred and sixty new cases were re
ported—deaths thirty-six.
All business is suspended, and great
destitution prevails among the poorer
classes. The stong appeals that are
being made for aid should not go un
heeded, but every one should contrib
ute something to alleviate the suffer
ing and distress in the stricken city.
In answer to the inquires of an in
terviewer as to what he thought of
Attorney General Taft’s late order
turning over the South to military
law, Senator Bayard, of Delaware,
said: “No document so partisan in
character, so reckless of all constitu
tional limitations upon power, so re
gardless of historical truth, so utterly
insubordinate to the decisions of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
has in the history of our country issu
ed from a department: not only acting
as all departments should act, under
the sanction of law, but looked to by
all other departments of the execu
tive as itself the fountain of law for
them.”
“Grammaticus” calls our attention
to grammatical errors in the Atorney
General’s order to the United States
Marshals. If there were nothing
in that document than the murder of
the English language, we might for
give Judge Taft. There is the mur
der of American citizens in it, and
that is beyond forgiveness.—Baltimore
Gazette.
The Baltimore Gazette says there is
startling distress in that city. Thous
ands of persons are suffering for the
necessaries of life, and some are actu
ally on the verge of starvation.
The Charleston Riot.
On the night of the 6th instant, the
city of Charleston barely escaped one
of the most bloody riots of this riotous
age. The outbreak was purely politi
cal in its origin, but the Radical ne
groes and their black-hearted white
allies were the aggressors. It seems
that in Charleston, as everywhere else
in the South, the more intelligent and
order-loving negroes are abandoning
the Radical party and forming Demo
cratic clubs. This does not suit the
villainous carpet-bag crew that have
used the negro to oppress the white
men in down-trodden Charleston for
ten years, and they instigated and
urged on the negro rabble of the city
to break up the meetings of these
clubs. The white Democratic clubs,
to preveut their colored allies from be
ing mobbed as they went home, form
ed a line to escort them home. The
rioters were posted at every street
corner, and assailed the. Democrats
with brickbats, stones, knives, pistols,
and every kind of weapon attainable.
During the entire night King street,
the main thoroughfare of the city, was
in the possession of the rioters, and no
white man dared show his face. When
day dawned every pane of glass on the
street was broken; the pavement was
stained with blood, and here and there
revolvers were picked up all along the
street, showing where the black rioters
had held high carnival.
At last accounts quiet had been re
stored; but both parties were armed
and organized. The whites are not
aggressive, but they are determined.
They will act only on the defensive,
but they are determined that the ac
cursed carpet-bagger and his ignorant
and brutal negro dupe, shall no longer
run riot in Charleston.
In the riot many were wounded—
mostly whites—and two were killed.
Gov. Chamberlain has issued the fol
lowing proclamation, dated Charleston,
S. C., September 9th:
“Whereas, information has reached
me that a serious riot occurred in the
city of Charleston on the night of the
6th inst., resulting in the death of one
person and the wounding and injur
ing of several more; and whereas
much excitement still exists in that
city, and fears are entertained that
the public peace will be further distur
bed:
“Now, therefore, I, Daniel H. Cham
berlain, Governor of said State, do
proclaim my purpose to preserve the
public peace of said city by all the
powers at my command, and to secure
every man, of whatever political party,
the right to speak, act and vote freely
and safely without constraint or dan
ger, in the present political campaign,
and I admonish all my fellow-citizens
again that violence begets violence,
that freedom of speech and ol political
action are sacred rights which, can
never be trampled on without rousing
a spirit of vengeance and retaliation.
I therefore most earnestly implore all
the citizens of Charleston to rely orf
the law for their sole protection, and
to do no act which shall not be within
the sanction of the law and its officers.
Especially do I discountenance and
foibid the presence upon the streets
of bodies of men,whether organized or
not, armed with deadly weapons, or
weapons or clubs of any kind, and I
call on the officers of the city and the
State to be prompt and vigorous in
checking all such demonstration of
violence and lawlessness and enforcing
the law for the protection of all citi
zens in their political rights. The
spirit of political intolerance in all its
forms is the direct cause which now
oppresses our State, and peace and
prosperity will never come until that
foul spirit is finally exorcised. Every
thoughtful man and every good citi
zens should give his utmost influence
to preserve the public peace by secur
ing perfect freedom of political action.
In conference with the Mayor of the
city and Chief Constable of the State,
all measures suitable for the protec
tion of the citizens of Charleston will
be taken, and all persons who have vio
lated, or who shall thereafter violate
the law, will be brought to trial and
puuished.
Mayor Cunningham issued to-night
a proclamation similar in tone to that
of the Governor.
Sheriff Bowen, as chairman of the
Republican party for Charleston coun
ty, requested a party confer
ence with a committee of the Execu
tive Committee of the Democratic
party in Charleston with a view to the
concerting of measures for the preser-,
vation of quiet in the city, the request
was acceded to and the conference
took place this evening, the Republi
cans present being the Mayor and
Messrs. Bowen, Taft, McKinley, Bir
ney and Brodie. The result of the
conference was the expression on the
part of the Republicans of an unquali
fied determination to prevent disor
der, and to discover and arrest the
persons who were the aggressors in the
riot of Wednesday night. In the
course of the conference it was
distinctly stated by the Democratic
Committee men that while they were
from every consideration anxious to
preserve the public peace, they were
resolutely determined, no matter what
the cost or consequences, that the
scenes of last Wednesday night shall
not be repeated.
Samual J. Tilden sensibly says: “If
one were to attempt to correct every
ordinary en-or concerning himself
which appears in print, the occasions
of controversy would be inconvenient
ly frequent for the avocations of a
busy life. It is, the'refore, only in a
very exceptional case that I should
depart from my habit of leaving such
errors to answer themselves, or to be
refuted by my acts, or by the general
tenor of my life.”
Nothing like the present drought in
New York State has been known for
fifteen years. In many counties the
grass is so completely burned up that
the farmers are buying feed and cut
ting up vegetables for their cows, us
ing in advance for their stock the food
which ordinarily comprises the winter
supply.
Another Falsehood.
The editor of the Gainesville Souj -
ron, in his issue of September 12th, sis
of Col. A. D. Candler: “He is too a ~
as most little men are, to think that e
can put ou his little sharp spurs a I
ride rough-shod over the world in i
few minutes, as he thought in the vt ■,
and because Alex. H. Stephens t and
Ben Hill told him he couldn’t do itjie
hates them, and especially the latir,
to this day.” I
Now, if the editor of the Soutlrin
was as diligent in hunting for trutliis
he is in hatching up falsehoods vfth
which to damage Colonel Candler |id
every other gentlemen who happem-Ho
think for himself, he would find fcjiat
he did not differ from Messrs. Stejhens
and Hill on the question of secetslsn,
nor hate them for their views, buifon
the contrary he regarded them as the
two greatest Southern intellects. He
preached their doctrine and praciled
their precepts. He believed then .nd
believes to-day, and has never iesi
tated to express the belief that ®ey
were right and that secession wjg a
mistake.
After secession was an accomplished
fact, and the war was inevitable,*he
entered the Confederate army is a
private soldier and did his whole tjaty
to the close of the war. He fought
as long as Lee said fight, and suirei*-
dered when Lee said surrender, *ud
this is the head and front of his offend
ing—this is the real reason of the
Gainesville Southron’s opposition to
him.
•That paper seems to make it a joint
to oppose in the most violent and un
scrupulous manner every man who
wore the grey. Ho wages war upon
Gov. Smith, and upon Gen. Colquitt,
and upon Col. Candler, and we Have
no doubt he would wage war upon
Washington himself, if he had been
alive and had been (as no doubt he
would have been) on the Confederate
side.
No, no, Mr. Southron, this subter
fuge is too thin. You can’t dodge the
issue in that way. You first arrayed a
catalogue of charges as long as the
hundred and nineteenth psalm against
Col. Candler as a legislator, and he
met your charges before the people
■with the record, and they into
nothingness, and now you try to make
a false issue and put him in the atti
tude of an enemy to Messrs. Hill and
Stephens; but the facts rise .up and
strike you square in the face as before
and contradict you. There are too
many of the wearers of the grey in
Hall county for your sort to dictate
who shall hold the offices. They are
loyal to the country and true to one
another. Qjjib.
Catechism.
Sporroß Evgle: I wish f to
plain questions :
Q. Was the Southron’s candidate for
Governor a rebel soldier ?
Q. Did the Southron favor any one
for Governor who was ever a soldier ?
Q. Was the Southron’s candidate for
the Legislature a soldier?
Q. Was the man whom the Southron
so bitterly opposes for Representative
a soldier?
Q. Was the Southron’s candidate for
Representative milk and cider just
after the war?
Q Did the Southron’s candidate
ever say he has no fight to make on
Union Leagues ?
Q. Did any other paper except the
pious (?) Brownlow’s ever have as
much disgraceful slang as the South
ron has?
Q. Is it not funny that it takes a
mau from the other aide to tell what
Southerns want and should do?
Q. Does the name “Southron” suit
the principles it advocates?
Q. Has the editor of the Southron
turned doctor, that he should de
nounce as demented baboons the ex
cellent physicians who say there is
yellow fever in Gainesville?
Q. Is the Southron to run the
Mayor’s office and say what that
officer shall or shall not do ?
Q. Is the Southron to run the
Notary Public’s office, that he should
denounce that venerable Christian
gentleman, Col. E. M. Johnson, for a
simple legal duty ?
Q. Is it right for honest public
officers, acting under oath, to be de
nounced by men who have no regard
for churches, morals, piety, religion or
truth, who can sportively bandy the
terms used in Scripture in reference
to St. Paul’s conversion?
. Q- If it be true that “whom the gods
would destroy they first make mad,”
is not destruction near to the South
ron ?
Q. Who knows best how to teach
Southern men physic, law, gospel,
education, municipal powers, and who
to vote for, Georgians or Miuneso
ans ? John Doe.
A republican paper says the hard

Special Correspondence of flic Eagle.
Washington, September 9, 1876.
The official guillotine continues slow
ly but surely to perform its task.—
Twenty-nine clerks in the third audi
tor’s office of the treasury department
were dismissed on the Bth inst. When
Congress determined to reduce the
clerical force iu the departments, it
was generally supposed that the
widows and orphans of soldiers and
sailors, who had fallen in their coun
try’s service, would have the prefer
ence for retention; but such is not the
case. Availability in the pending cam
paign is the standard by which all are
measured. What service can he or she
render the party iu this its hour of
trial? How will his or her removal
offset the influence which has placed
them here ? These are the questions
and the answers to determine who
shall go and who shall be retained.
One of the ladies recently discharged
from the quartermaster general’s office,
is the widow of an army officer, a gra
duate of West Point and brevetted
major general for gallant and merito
rious services on the field, as the
records of the war department will
show. The death of her husband left
her penniless, and she is dependent
upon her salary alone for subsistence.
This is certainly a hard case; but it
does not stand alone. Numbers of ex
officers and soldiers have been dis
charged simply because they claimed
the District of Columbia as their place
of residence, and of course bad no
vote, nor could they command any
political influence. It is a matter of
record that this District in proportion
to its population furnished more troops
than any other part of the country. But
the clerks whose homes are here could
render the party no services in this
campaign, and that settled the ques
tion of their dismissal or retention.
Gen. Sherman will leave the city to
morrow to join Secretary Cameron in
their tour of inspection through the
West.
The trains entering the city are filled
with our returning citizens who have
been spending the summer iu the
country, or at the watering places.
It will not be surprising to the pub
lic to know that General Geo. B. Mc-
Clellan has decided to vote for Tilden
in the coming election. In a letter an
nouncing his intention to do so, he
has the frankness to say that he has
the highest respect for the personal
character and intelligence of Governor
Hayes.
The Republicans are jubilant over
the refusal of Mr. Seymour to accept
the nomination for Governor of New
York, and argue therefrom the hap
piest results. Their ill-timed joy clear
ly evinces the latent fear which op
presses them in that State Since Mr.
Seymour’s health positively forbids
him to seek the position, there is little
fear that the Democracy will not find a
mau equally acceptable as Mr. Sey
mour, and who will accomplish all
that was expected of that gentleman.
The capitalists of the country are
beginning to move solidly for Tilden
and Hendricks. As the standard
bearers of the Democracy, they have
already the working men on their
side. In the last national canvass the
moneyed interests of the country were
all against Mr. Greeley. They were
afraid to trust a man of his erratic
tendencies in the executive chair, and
the national banks ami other institu
tions subscribed large amounts of
money to aid in his defeat. This year
the situation is entirely reversed. Mr.
Tilden is a rich man himself, and
every one has confidence that he will
not do anything to injure the financial
interests of the country. The feeling
is growing every day that the policy
of the party in power is disastrous to
the business interests of the whole
people, especially that part of it which
affects the South, and hence the desire
for a change. This is perfectly natural
and is sound political economy. The
South is the principal producer, and
of course she is a consumer in the
exact ratio of her production. If she
is kept in a condition of constant
revolution and disturbances by cor
rupt politicians and demagogues, she
can never be prosperous, and the pros
perity of the South is essential to the
prosperity of the North, and it will be
exceedingly fortunate for the whole
country, should a party come into
power who will take this plain and
practical view of the situation.
Reno.
The New York papers speak hope
fully of a revival in nearly all branches
of trade. The cheapening of coal, the
renewal of work in many of the large
manufacturing districts, the somewhat
higher prices for certain lines of goods,
indicate that there is cause to hope
for better times this winter than last.
Should a general European war break
out, all American industries will
speedily revive, the unemployed will
find work, and America and her peo
ple will be substantially benefitted.—-
This is all theoretical. The masses of
the people have but one good reason
to be encouraged. They confidently
hope for a change of Aministration
next year, which will give us all that
peace and security which we have been
bereft of since the war. With an hon
est man in the White House, a Senate
that will imitate the example of the
Democratic House of Representatives
in reducing taxation and public ex
penditures, the people of this country
can but witness anew era of happi
ness and prosperity.—Cincinnati En

Uur New York Letter.
New Yoke, September 9, 1867.
GOLD.
Gold advanced to-day to 1.10 on the
news of the disturbances in Charles
ton, South Carolina. Large opera
tors, especially the branches of large
foreign houses, view with the greatest
apprehension any indication of disturb
ance of the public peace.
COTTON, RICE AND SUGAR.
The Charleston news also had a
marked effect on the markets for
Southern staples. Cotton, rice and
sugar were unsettled, and gave indica
tions of panic. The strikes of the la
borers on the rice plantations near
Beaufort, at the demand of political
leaders, were feared to be indications
of a suspension of work on the planta
tions of sufficient extent to seriously
disturb the gathering of crops, and the
markets here and abroad.
THE VERMONT ELECTION.
The result iu Vermont is very fa
vorable to the Democrats. Not only
have the Republicans, ou an immense
ly increased vote, failed to maintain
their proportionate gain, but they
have absolutely fallen below their ma
jority of the last four Presidential
years. In 1868 Grant’s majority was
32,122, and in 1872 he carried the State
by 30,554. In 1864, the Republican
majority was 29,095, and iu 1860 the
plurality of Lincoln over Douglas was
26,959, the united votes of Brecken
ridge and Bell being only 2,187. The
present majority is about 23,000. The
Republicans have, therefore, in a vote
10,000 greater than ever cast hereto
fore, not merely failed to hold their
percentage of the increased vote, but
have actually fallen 9,000 behind their
record of previous years. In 1868
tlieir majority was 57 per cent, of the
total vote cast. In 1876, their majori
ty is only about 23 per cent of the to
tal vote. In other words their pre
ponderance has decreased since 1868
in the ratio of from two to one. Like
results elsewhere will give the country
overwhelmingly to Tilden and Hen
dricks.
THE WEST IN OCTOBER.
In general estimation here the Wes
tern States are more likely to be affec
ted by the causes which produce
Democratic gains than the extreme
Eastern States. For example, Indiana
is evidently in a contest for change
under the pressure of hard times, a
more reliable indication than Ver
mont. Iu Vermont, with its settled
ways and comparatively slight connec
tion with the driving life of the coun
try, and the assured predominance of
one party, there is much less likeli
hood of a proportionate political
revolution than in Indiana, where in
dustry is struggling for profitable
development., and where the closeness
of party margins gives to the contest
the c-liarm of possible success for eith
er contestant. If then, the Vermont
election foreshadows a Democratic
triumph, we may expect much more
decisive figures from the West,
MONDAY IN MAINE.
Politicians here are generallv wait
ing to hear from Maine. If the Re
publicans fail to hold their average
Presidential majority of 18,000 there,
they must surrender all hope of victory
in the National contest, If on the
other hand, they hold their own there,
it will argue nothing against the prob
abilities of a Democratic victory in the
West.
THE CHARLESTON HORROR.
The Charleston news overshadows
all other topics here. 1 The fact that
the first act of “intimidation” worthy
of note was not intimidation cfl Repub
licans by Democrats, but of Democrats
by Republicans, is remarkable.
The occurrence of the riot just after
Chamberlin had notified his adherents
that he had shipped them twenty
thousand muskets, and that he “was
done with reform” marks it as a de
liberate attempt to forward partisan
ends by inciting civil war. Republi
cans regard the affair as a mistake,
because the wrong people were intimi
dated. The Democrats denounce it as
a desperate attempt of the radicals to
check the general stampede of the ne
groes away from the control of the
black leagues and scalawags to the
Democratic party which protects their
rights, and secures to them a chance
for prosperity and advancement. The
Charleston outrage will undoubtedly
add 10,000 to the Democratic vote in
New York, and have a proportionate
effect in other States.
UNITED STATES TROOPS SOUTH.
The most noticeable fact in this hor
rible affair is that the troops sent to
Charleston to help the radicals gave
protection to the hunted colored Demo
crats. In this case the Republicans
were “hoist by their own petard.”—
The general opinion here is that the
whole Southern military programme
of the Administration will only result
in increasing the Tilden vote, because
the numbers of colored Democrats will
rely on the troops for protection in
the hour of need. Occasional.
Governor Hubbard, of Texas, was

A special dispatch from Washington |

following information:
“Governor Chamberlain, of South
Carolina. ha3 just returned from
another visit to this city to confer with
the authorities upon sending troops to
that State. The Governor was noisy
in his denunciations of such men as
Haskell, Hampton, Gary, ex-Gov. Per
ry and others, whom he charges are
on the eve of precipitating another re
bellion. He makes the idle boast that
he has proof that Butler and Hamp
ton were at the head of the Hamburg
riot, and that he expects in less than
two months to have them tried. The
Governor declared to a prominent
South Carolina politician last night
that he was done with reform talk,
and hereafter the Legislature would
find no barrier in him. The Governor
has made arrangements to have twenty
thousand stands of arms sent down to
arm the blacks. The arms will be
landed in Charleston on the 11th in
stant, the day previous to the meeting
of the Radical Convention.
Really, the Reformer is going ra
ther rapidly since his coalition with
Patterson. He has become as great a
liar as Ananias and as blood
thirsty as Wendell Phillips. If it be
true that the reformer has made ar
rangements to place arms in the
hands of twenty thousand blacks in
order that they may murder the whites,
we sincerely hope that ho may be in
duced to lead the assassins in person—
that is all.—Augusta Chronicle.
