Maj. E. ". .Sei5tes, Secretary and
Treasurer "Union Reform Party" /"
Columbia, s. c.
SIR: Capt. F. w Dawson and others
of the Union Reform Party have spoken
to me .on the subject of the ensuing
election in this State, setting forth their
desire to have joint committees appoint
ed for each polling precinct through
out the State, say two from each party,
whose duty it will be to see that. fair
play is had at the POLLS and in the can
vassing of the votes, to which hearth
ly agree. Mr.. Cardozo. Mr.. Mackey
and Mr.. Nash, Of the Republican Exe-
cutive, Committee, to whom | have
spoken, concur.
Of course it will be matter for the
decision of the County canvassers, as to
whetheror not these committees will be,
as such, permitted to witness inquisito-
rally the cauvassing of the votes. In:
my judgment the plan ought to recon-
mend itself to beth parties. In any
case / shall do what l can in this and
every other way 'legitimately to secure
fair election. Though candidate
myself ! should spurn from me the
thought-of occupying an Office that has
been secured by fraud or violence.
I do not think that the Reform party
need fear, whether this plan is adopted
or not, that the Republican party in.
tend to elect its candidates by any 9th
er than fair apdlcgitimate means.
An early reply will much oblige

him up, was ordered into the gay sa-

the benevolent lady had promised, and,
as luck would have it, the little fellow
round the "ring," Oceans they use in
Paris instead and of course he was
"king.".. They all shouted out that,
being king, he must choose a queen.
He was asked so to do, and looking
round the company he chose the very
lady who had purposed to eede her por-
tiou of the cake, He was asked why
he chose her. lie said, 81 don't know;

Trouble Of the Radicals.
Washington, Sept IA.

|
The principal duties and the most
arduous task Of the Republican com.
mittee here seem to be the vain effort
to hcal the breaches which have dis.
tracted tho party organization in ma
nv different localities outside of New
England. Senator Wilson, the chair
man, and Representative Platt, the
secretary of the Executive Commi ttee
have both been in conference on that
topic, but the eccentricities of ASPIRING
statesmen of the Radical school South
have evoked "world Of trouble" and
instead ofthe difficulties subsiding they
are on the increase.
Such fellows as Porter in the Rich
mond. DISTRICT, and other representa-
tiyes of the party in the South, are
thorns in the sides of the vigilant. COM
mittecmen here, who, though they
have no, fears of the bad effects Of
prominence in the party councils in
New England, yet feel very tremulous
concerning the Middle and Western
States. The Radicals are making no
show Of performing anything in the
future for the satisfaction Of the mass.
es, but waste all their energies, with
the assistance of the Treasury author
tiles, in distributing ponderous tables,
showing comparative financial states
ments, and glorifying the present ad-
ministraiiop of the Treasury Depart
ment in fulsome manner. % They say
nothing regarding the probabilities of
the passage Of such laws by the next
Congress as will satisfy the majority of
of the people; not one word in favor Of
the emancipation of the white people
South from the unconstitutional stat
utes that now overpower them; and 10
fne,. do very little except the distribu-
ton of these oue-sided financial exhib-
its, with letters requesting their friends
to cease their chickering's and stand up
to the rack, whether they are to be
pecuniarily benefited or not. There
will be row in the party if these third
rate politicians who have control in
the South refuse to bend to the de.
mands of the moro polite leaders htrs;
and as the advocates of black mans
party in the Southern States, persist.
emily refuse to obey, the Aare-up must
soon come Worlds Correspondent.

Though, as you suggest, the propos..
