may the Radical brethren crown their brazcn
fronts with the mconvcrlihle currency Of the
nation; horc may they 81 al their pockets witlf4
bills and bonds, and no one say them nay
'ii,iy may pilfcr and pccu,;,tc, crime and
blusier lie and grow rich. Gail them but
Radicals? and they laugh 1t bolla AMI h;rs,
mock at judge and jury. and recognize no
otl,cf law than their own sweet will and
pleasure. They hold the pursc-strings, and
can gag with ssrcenbaclis the boilers who
threaten to leave their camps. All the sham
majesty of the law Is called to their aid, and
if by nh unfortunate slip they do reach the
Pcnitentiary, ellis Fxccllency Governor
| "ScotC stands ready to pardon thom, 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
who throw rocks into the turbd pool though
Vt may be death TO the frogs
They who arc so unfortunate rs to have
some regard for honesty and truth are pun
ished as they deserve. If they will not don
the Radcul mantle they must expect to re-
ceive IL scant measure of justice-compcnsa
ted for by II full measure of oppression and
abuse. A thousand barns and gin-nouscs
are burned down by thicving negroes, and
no Radical whispers word of conlcmna-
ton. But when the store OF the Radical
brother Of n Radical senator is set afire the
Governor issues fiery proclamation, offer
ing IL reward for the apprehension Of the
inccndarics. Nor is this all. A band of
cOnstablcs, armed to the teeth, hasten 10 the
scene of tho Radical burning, drag harm
less citizens from their beds and thrust them
into jail-ali upon suspicion. Nor in his
proclamation does the Governor cOnlinc
himself to dcnouncing crime; he goes fur
tiicr, and indirectly invites the negroes to
take the law inio their hands, encouraging
them, by hint and inucndo, TO burn, slay
and destroy. The Speaker OF tho ,ouaa nf

In Abbevillc, last week, one Gufiin, who
was recently elected to the State Lcgisa-
turc, got out OF the cars, accompanied by
squad OF armed negroes, and made II aspeech,
in which he said, ''Thc first Republican
"killcd in this county, every leading Demo-
"crat shall be killed and their houses burned
"over them" Mark! these words of mem
her of the Legislature. Another Guliln-
who claims the seat OF senator from Able
vlc-showed his devotion to the co!ored
race, on the sane occasion, by kissing the
duskcy damscls on The platrorm--not crimi-
nal, perhaps, but highly characteristic.
In Georgetown, few days ago, a negro
representative and magistrate, who is al
ready under bonds to korp the peace henped
Ills maledictions on the rebels of tho district,
who, he sail, che was ready to kill at mo-
"mcnts notice." as che WAS accustomed to
"kill Southern rebels |" This is another
model legislator.
-Four citizens OF Abbcvie are pursued
by an excited crowd of negroes and arrested
without warrant or prctext, other than the
statement that one of their number had
spoken of the cOlored people, before Con-
gresham Hogc, as 'nigsers" Their Of
fence hath this extent; but they are hauled
off to Jail, while the Radical orator, as
usual, seeks safety in flight. This is tho
way in which respectable mon are treated:
while Congressman Hoge and Whittemore
excite riot, Representative Jones threatens
to kill the rebels, and Representative Guffin |
threatens to kill the Democrats and burn their
houses. No arrest of these men is made,
nor Is it even hintcd that what they do is q |
grievous burning wrong.
Nor do these rioters 20 TOO far. They
know that 10 long as their Radicalsm Ia
sound they run no risk, whatever they may
say or do They show thoir appreciation OF
the horrible fact, that in South Carolina
every law, every officer and oycry proclama-
ton. is Intended TO shield the Radical and
strip The opponents of Radicalism of all
shadow OF protection They know what
their power is. and it will not he their fault
il the colored people do not take tho hints
which thoy throw out, aud attempt to win
by force the lands and homes which tho
Radicals failec to give them. These Radi-
Gals pray for Il negro rising; they will be
disappointed, and their Old Master will for
sake thom when comes the tug of war.
One year moro of working and waiting,
and these thieving Cossacks shall DO sent
claitering back 10 tho HIDES OF shame and
Disgrace. Thcn may whites and blacks
