chair Major Delaney, colored, in few we'll
timed remarks, urged upon the colored people
to be orderly and to give to each speaker a
respectful audience, reminding them OF the

on yesterday.
The first speaker announced was the im-
maculate T. J. Mackey, who commenced Oy
cougratuiating the freedmen OF Barnwell on
having had their handouts broken of since he
last had the pleasure Of visiting the county.
His whole speech was one calculated to en-
gender the bitteresC feelings between the
white and colored races. He said if the Reform
party succeeded. their manacleS would again be
riveted ON the black man. Just here, q re-
spectacle gentleman asked the speaker II lie
conscientiOllsly believed what he had asserted.
He replied that he did believe 1t, to modified
extent.
He next proceeded 10 urge the claims OF +.
C. DeLarge for Congress. He said that c. G..
Bowen had done noLling since his election for
the colored race, and therefore should not re-
ceiye the support OF the col0red man. AT THIS
moment the chairman announced that the
time allotted to the speaker had elapsed; but
the ''emaculace' persisted and appealed TO his
audience if he should proceed-a few yelling
out, "Yes, 20 on The chair again interrupt
inr him, he became very much enraged, using
some very opprobrious epithets against Mr.
Brown, the acting chairman. AS soon as he
yielded the stand. Mr.. B. arose. and in calm,
yet defiant manner, exclaimed, You are
id son OF b-h!@ AT this juncture the
widest scene oil confusion ensued: pistols and
knives were drawn in every direction. but the
great Demosthenes drew neither pistol nor
knife. but made trG ,ks with all possible haste
into the store, closing the door after him, with
the exclamation. II don't wish TO be shot,
This state of things lasted thirty minutes,
when, through:the efforts OF several prominent
members OF the Reform party, together with
a conciliatory speech from Major Delaney, the
confusion C. sufficiently subsidized TO allow Hon. c.
C. Bowen to answer the charges preferred

a scale on the poor affrighted Mackey. Major
Delaney next addressed the meeting at some
length, giving great deal OF good, whole

were more Delaneys in South Carolina. He
spoke finally liz the interest of DeLarse.
Delarge, when called on. declined 10 SPEAK;

Bowen, w1ereupop be ierllad of bis coat and
threw 1t violently on the Il ,or. Ha ccmDenc-
ed speaking in a stentorian tone, lsvisa'ng nls
alulatlons on his friend, G. 9. Bowen. he
said he had always been and still was a 1rm
personal triend of Mr.. Bowen. But. jus; here,
a ,Reformer cried out, You are an internal

so disguised with this Radical gala day, that
they VOW they never again will be found at
political meeting. When rognes fall out, honest
men get their dues. REFORM.
