The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1868-08-28

The shrewd and well-informed Washington
correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun says:
Intelligence from the South contains but
slight comfort for the Radicals. Letters re-
ceived here daily from that section, as well as
information derived from Southerners here, all
show great change Of sentiment on the part
Of the colored people. It seems that they have
at last opened their eyes to the fact that they
cannot hope for the realization o. any OF the
promises made by the adyenturers who went
South only to use them as tools, and their
eyes are now turned upon the bona Jide South
ern people as their best and surest friends
and guides.
Intelligent Southerners say that in all the
States reconstructed by act OF Congress, and
especially in districts where the Freedmen's
will vote with their old masters, and there is
now well-founded hope that all these States
can be carried for Seymour and Blair, and
that too, by the aid or coored votes. Nor
need any force be used to compel the negroes
to vote right
The South is beginning to recover rapidly
from the prostration caused by the war, and
planters can now give employment to laborers
and mechanics. A year ago this was not 30.
The laborers were many and the employers
were few, and hence many Of the negroes were
dependent upon the Freedmens Bureau for
their daily bread. 1t is we'll known that this
institution was but an electioneerine card Tor
Radcalism, and it appeared before the negro
with bone in one hand and Republican
ticket in the other. 'sVote the ticket, and you
will get the bone; refuse the ticket, and the
bone will be withheld, /" was the Bureau mode
Of electioneering, and it was then effective.
ALI this has now changed. Farms and plan
tations which had been laid waste by war are
again under cultivation, and the dependence
upon the Bureau having ceased, the negroes
begin to see their true interests, and will vote
with the people III their section without regard
to the promi,,, and pledges Of the carpet
baggers and advt nturers, which they have at
last learned G IN never be fulfilled. Seymour
and Blair clubs, composed exclusively OF color
ed men. are being formed all over the South,
and orders are daily received here from such
clubs and political organizations for Democrat
10 papers and campaign documents.
This, of course, causes the Radicals great
deal Of annoyance and yexstion, for it seems
that after all the twlstinss and turnings upon
the reconstruction laws, the Republi san major
itY in Congress has sgnally failed in it's efforts
to bind the Southern States to the Radical car.
It is as much for this cause as for any other
that the Southern Radicals are 30 anxious for
session OF Congress IN September. At that
time they will be on hand and will urge the
passage Of some law which Will, in their opin-
ion, perpetuate the power Of their party. To
this end many Of the carpet-bag represen-
tatyes have remained in this city, watching
every indication that comes up from the South,
and anxiously consulting with their friends
from that section. But they find little or no
encouragement Of Congressional interference
with the question.
Some of the very Radical members from the
Nor tn have written here promising them aid,
but the majority Of the members have enough
to do to take care Of their interests in their
own districts. Especially is this the case with
the Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana members.
The elections in the States named come off
early il October, and thcy will therefore not be
willing to risk session on the 21st Of Septem-
ber, which once commenced may be extended
indefinitely and beyond the second tuesday in
October.
