CHARLESTON, Sept, 18, 1867.
On Monday evening last, tho votarics of
Radicalisn, black and white, were invited to
meet in solemn conclavc at Military Hall, to
deliberate and act upon the nominations for
their local Central Committee. A goodly con-
course responded with their requcst-thc Afri-
can element, of course, largely prcdominating.
The meeting was not harmonious one, as
many of the negroes evidenced their decided
aversion to the appointment to position of their
Caucasian contrcres. The frlsomc fattcry of
Radical cmisarics, and their apothcosis of liam
and his descendants, arc producing their legiti-
mate fruit. "If I am a dcmigod," reasons
Cuffec, s'why should allow those who can
boast nothing but an ordinary origin and q fall
len humanity to share with ME the throne Of
power, or the honors of prcfcrmcnt? 1t is not
to be expected that our negroes will act differ
emily from those out West, and their parasites
may we'll trcmble at their waining prospects,
of attaining the promotion and lower at which
most of them have been aiming.
General Candy this morning promulgated
an Order, that hereafter, Jury Lists be drawn
from tax-paying citizens Irrespective of color),
who have already or may hereafter register,
and from none others. An Order on the sub
jcct has been expected and the one issued is
as equitable as could be hoped for under the
circumstances. If VIC must have universal suf-
fragc the Jury privilege at least should be
qualified.
The negro Logan, appointed by General
Sicklcs as one of the Registrars at Mount
Pleasant, who figured prominently in the recent
difficulties there, (of which your readers were
1nrormcd), has again succeeded in gaining no
toricty. Because Mr. Samuel Fraser over
seeing plantation i'll the vicinity, refused to
allow his negroes an entire weeks leave of alb
sencc, to attend at the registration precincts,
Logan, despite the non-concurrcncc of his CO.
registrars, ordered his arrest and himself with
eight armed men, brought him to the City.
This was done Mt night; and Mr.. Fraser, while
i'll custody of his sable guard was subjected to
innumcrablc hard ships and many indignitics.
An investigation was made by General Candy
into the matter and Mr.. Fraser has been cx-
oncratcd from all blame and his arrest charac-
tcrizcd as entirely illegal. He was promptly
discharged, while Logan was arrested and is
now in the custody of tho garrison at Castle
Pinokney. 1t il hoped that this hcinous out
rage will draw down Oh the head of it's perpc
traitor a swift and signal rctribution. The
Military must rcprcss at once the growing law
lcssncss Of the misguided freedmen, or the re-
suit may be serious. Our people desire 'har-
mony and peace between the races; they have
displayed heretofore and will continue to cx-
hibit patience and forbcarance; but there is
limit to human endurance, and repeated out
RACES and expressions may bcgct anarchy.
The freedman jenkins, convicted last spring
of tho murder of Mr.. Bradford, and sentenced
to be hung, and who was repricvcd three times
by General Sicklcs, has been notified by Gen.
Candy that he mus. look for no Intervention
from him. The General states that he has
thoroughly examined into the case, and can
find no just grounds for his interference.
Jenkins will therefore suffer the extreme pen
hlty of the law us soon as the next Court
ats here, and he can be sentenced over.
Smart Chisolm the infanticidc, has been
pardoncd by Gov. Orr, ON condition Of his cx-
patriating himself for five years. These cases
arc in close paralclsm with those Of Pharaoh s
Butler and his Baker who shared Joseph s
imprisonment
The Base Ball mania continues unabatcd
Clubs, whose name is legion, have sprung up
