I,bulcallSll Ill TIC southern SJatCS. Here
may the Radical brethren crown their brazcn
fronts with the inconvart;ble currency Of the
nation; here may they stuff their pockets wifi
bills and bonds, and no one say them nay
They may pilfer and poculatc,s crinse and
bluster, lie and grow rich Call them but
| Radicals and they laugh at bolts and bars,
mock at judge and jury, and recognize no
other law than their own sweet will and
pleasure They hold tho purse-strings, and
can gag with greenbncks the boilers who
| thre,.ten to lenve,their camps. All tho sham
majesty of tho law IS calledto their aid and
f'by an unfortunate slip they do reach the
Penitentiary, ellis Excellency Governor
"Scott" stands ready to pardon them, SO
that "their civil rights" may not be put in
jeopardy. This is very jolly state of things;
fascinating in the extreme for the knaycs
1t may be death to the frogs.
They who are so unfortunate US to have
some regard for honesty and truth ore pun
| ished as they deserve. If they will not don
tho Radical mantle they must expect to re-
ceiye scant measure of justice-compensa
ted for by full measure OF oppression and
| abuse. A thousand barns and gin-houscs
are burned down by thieving negroes, and
no Radical whispers n word of condemna-
ton. But when the store of the Radical
brother Of o Radical senator is set aflre the
Governor issues fiery proclamation, offer
ing reward for the apprehension of the
incendiarics. Nor is this all. A band of
constables, armed to the tooth, hasten to the
scene of the Radical burning, drag harm
less citizens from their beds and thrust them
into jail-all upon suspicion. Nor in his
proclamation does the Governor con(inc
himself to denouncing crime; he goes fur
ther, and indirectly invites the negroes to
take the law into their hands, encouraging
them, by hint and inucndo to burn, slay
and destroy. Tho Speaker OF, tho lpusa Of

In Abbeville, last week, one Gufln, who
was recently elected to the State Legisa-
turc, got out OF the cars, accompanied by
squad OF armed negroes and made speech,
in which he said, ''The first Republican
'killed in this county, every leading Demo-
''crat shall be killed and their houses burned
''over them" Mark! these words OF NOM
her of the Legislature. Another Gu(lin-
who claims the seat OF senator from Able
ville-showed his devotion to the colored
race, on the same occasion, by kissing the
duskcy damsols on the platform-not crimi-
nal, perhaps, but highly characteristic.
In Georgetown, u few days ago, negro
representative and magistrate, who is al
ready under bonds 10 keep the peace, heaped
his mnledctions Oh tho rebels Of the district,
who, he said, she was ready to kill at mo-
'menrs notice." as sthc was accustomed to
| 'kill Southern rebels!" This Is another
model legislator.
-Four citizens of Abbcvilc are pursued
by on excited crowd Of negroes and arrested
without warrant OF pretext, other than the
statement that one of their number had
spoken of the colored people, before Con-
gresham Hogc, as ''niggers." Their Of
fence hath this extent; but they are hauled
off to Jail, while the Radical orator, rs
usual, seeks safety in flight This is the
way in which respectable mon are treated;
while Congressman Hoge and Whittemore
excite riot, Representative Jones threatens
to kill the rebels. and Representative Gufin
threatens to kill the Democrats and burn their
houses. No arrest OF these men is made
nor Is 1t even hinted that what they do is q
grievous burning wrong.
Nor do these rioters 60 too fur. They
know that 30 long rs their Radicalism Ia
sound they run no risk whatever they may
say or dc. They show tiieir appreciation Of
the horrible fact, that In South Carolina
every law, every officer and every proclama-
ton, is Intended TO shield the Raaicl and
strip the opponents of Radcali"a OF all
shadow OF protection. They know what
their power is, and 1t will not be their fault
II the colored people do not tako tho hints
which they throw out, and attempt to win
by force the lands and homes which the
Radicals failec to give them. These Radi-
Gals pray for q negro rising; they will be
disappointed, and their Old Master will for
sake them when comes the tug Of war.
