Tho Matter I'm Georgctoyvn-RIce Field
Hands I'm the Field-Eloquent Appeal
from the Radical Organ I'm Charleston.
1t appears that there is trouble in the
Georgetown radical camp. To succeed
Mr.. Webb, deceased, one Mr.. Bowley,
O. B., from New England, was nomi-
mated by O convention of radicals. The
rice field hands and voters want one of
their color. Thinking that it is not oil
of radicalism for the white carpet-bag-
gers to monopolize nearly all the spoils
of the Offices, the dissatisfied have put q
colored man in nomination-we believe
one "Mr. Lucas" This has produced
trouble. This is called Democratic
trick. Ransier, Chairman of the ere
publican Executive Committee" is out
in card, and "the faithful in George
town are told to vote for the regular no.
minee. Africa in Charleston comes to
the rescue of New England in George
town. And the radical organ steps also
to the front, and not wishing to see "Mr.
Lucas" colored man, triumph, with
sets mortal eye," processes to sec the
Democrats of Georgetown playing sly
and devilish trick, and thereupon it
makes an eloquent appeal to the George
town rice field hands. In an eloquent
and affecting vein, the organ says:
"The convention has selected the man.
He must be elected. Republicans OF
Georgetown, you have been united and
firm. You have, in past contests, cover
ed yourselves with glory. Go not back
ward. Maintain your honor and your
fidelity. Republicans in all parts of the
State are looking at you. They expect
you to bury personal feelings and ami
mosities, and stand by the action of your
own convention, and the principles of
your party. So shall your bright record
remain untarnished, and you, noble Re-
publicans of Georgetown, be held in ho-
nor, rs you now are by Republicans
throughout the State of South Carolina. y
This. row, is fine language, and no
doubt the Georgetown freedmen will un-
derstand it all, and be duly enthused.
We have no special preferences in the
matter, but as between Mr.. Bowley and
"A1r. Lucas" give us Lucas.

LARGE FIRE IN FERNANDINA.-A de-
structive fire occurred in Fernandina on
Tuesday afternoon. The fire broke out
in DIR. Clay's handsome residence, which
was entirely consumed, together with
Mr.. McGinnis' residence adjoining. The
dwelling of Judge McGehee, Judge
Hammond, and three or four others,
caught fire, but were saved with slight
damage. The fire, fortunately, was in
the outskirts Of the town; otherwise, the
town must have suffered much more Sc
vercly, as the wind was blowing freshly
from the Southwest. The loss is csti-
mated at $40, 900. DIR. Clay's residence
was the largest in Fernandina, and not
insured. Mr.. McGinnis' property w;.s
partially insured.

The Republican, of Charleston. thinks
that the fifteenth amendment will GER

is safe sWell, be it 80. But inasmuoh
as wisdom looks to the end and policy

the Republican to consider how far the
ultimate interests of the whole country
will be affected by on amendment like
the fifteenth. We have some misgivings.
But the gratiaed Republican has none.
At the prospect of general, unlimited,
unqualified suffrage, it grows grandilo-
auent, Joyful, grateful and poetical. 1t
says: 'Hs'.
"Thenceforward, no man, by any State
or community, can be deprived of civil
rights. The arm of the majestic nation
reaches. upholds and defends every oiti-
zen. Our hearts swell with Joy and gra-
titude, as we say. with Whittier:
"'I knew the truth would crush the lie
Somehow, sometime the end would be;
Yet scarcely dared hope to see
The triumph with my mortal eye.
"sBut now see it. In the sun
A free flag floats, from yonder dome.
And at the Nations hearth and homo,
The Justice long delayed is done.'"
To which we have to say-"Swell on,
oh heartsl with JOY and gratitude. HUI
man ourselves, and estceming nothing
chat is human foreign to our nature, the
'.joy and the gratitude" of even the Re
publican, are pleasing to our souls.

rascality in general. With satisfaction,
we shall see him beard the lions that
assailed him in their den. Let Tenncs-

STRANGE DIsAPPEARANCE.-A young
man reporting himself from Portland,
came to Harrisburg in this county on the
9th of last month, and tarried day or
two, and then departed. The second
time he came and stopped as before at
the hotel in Harrisburg until the 22d
ult., when he suddenly disappeared, leav-
ing no clue as to his future travels He
gave no name, or if he did it has been
forgotten. What is singular about the
whole affair is, in his haste to depart he
left a horse-a small, dun colored animal
and saddle. He said, previous to his
disappearance, that he was in search of
work, and that he had been employed,
while in Portland, at livery stable. It
is thought by our informant, that the
owner of the horse may reside in Port
land, and if SO, this will inform him of
tho whereabouts of the animal.

was an occasion of much enjoyment to all
concerned, and to no one, probably, more
