REFORM IN SP4RTANB URG.
Another RousIng Meeting.

The Carolina Spartan says it is truly gratify-
ing to the friends Of good government to
hear of the enthusiastic demonstrations ofpop-
ular approval with which the leaders OF the
Union Reform party are received wherever
they 20. The meetings recently held IN An
derson and Pendleton are reported to have
been the largest assemblages ever known at
those places. Old and young, black and white,
male and female, crowded around the speak
crs. and manifested an Interest in the new
movement, which justlhes the prediction that
Radcalism will be overwhelmed in dlsgraceful
defeat next fall. 1t says further:
All we want is fair rote and .Tair count,
and we fear no danger. Scotts only chance
now Ia to hire some of his mini0ns to murder
a few colored men In certain counties, In order
to declare them under martial law,. and have
the voting all his own way. But whilst such
plan might have worked admirably, lew
Years aGo. it will not be submitted TO now.
I'VE intend to have a fair, free vote this time, in
snite OF Scott, Hubbard and the militia. The

murder. and they have seen the signs Of blood

OUR CANDIDATE and OUR CAUSE.
A Glowing Eulogy of Judge Carpenter
From the columbia Guardian.l

lFTOIl Lic SUluNluld
Recognizing that much good has already &C.
crued from the movement for Reform, and
being hopeful of its success al no distant day,
it will not be out of place for us to- express our
qualification at the cor,'ial manner in which Its
Standard bearer, Judge Carpenter, has been
received. When he said that he was soldier
in war, not in peace, we felt our prejudices
melt away and our hearts warm towards him.
He does not come among us to advocate
the Winchester rifle law. He does not
a nest of assassins. He feels free to
90 and come, and speak his opinions
frankly amongst us. Brave anG generous men
respect each others convictions. Such men
can differ In opinion. and maintain their friend
ship undisturbed and unrufied. 1t Is your
opinionist who cannot be endured; your con-
troverslalist who Is despised; your higher
law" man (Winehester rifle law, or John
Browns pike law, for iDstance,) whom 1t Is
hard to love and forgive. Judge Carpenter Is
not built upon the model OF Sumner Or B. F.
Butler. men of ineytinguishable hate. He ap-
preclates the fact that both sides in the late
civil strife, having accepted, should abide the
arbitrament OF arms. each in spirit proper to
its condition and to its sense OF right in the
contest He appreciates 1ne ner4, tbs aaSom sNth
and. scorning her traducers and betrayers,
as she scorns them, takes his place by her side,
and resoli,tely pref pa7Tes 10 serve and defend
her. We hail the advent Of such man, like
the bow of promise which spans the sky while
we write, as happy augury Of peace and good
will. We are constrained to add that, by his
trankness, his kindness, his appreciation, OF
onr dead and his regard for our living, Judge
Carpenter has confirmed the general prepoS-
session in his favor. We have to thank him,
too. for lis brave and hopeful spirit. 1t is, to-
day, power in the land. IL braces the minds
of many fcebler men to struggle and strive,
who. but for this magnetic and timely
influence. would have continued in the
'.siough Of despond,' hounderlng In the
mud OF their difficulties and doubts. 1t
is no eulo-y. but the simple fact, to say
that the commanding abilities and learned ac-
comp,ishmelts OF Judge Carpenter, as wei! as
his ready and thrilling eloqience, are known
OF all men, and now receiTe constant lihis,ra-
lion. The proceedings OF the Bar OF Charles
ion and Oranaeburg. headed by the venerable
ami i.llsirious names of Dankin and Glover,
constitute ali Honorarium.a testimonial at
once to integrity, geniis and fidelity. of which
any ons might be rroiid. We cordially well
come and warmly commend man who has

manly blows which he strikes for our redemp-
tion. And his ca.ls" Hear him for his

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEws.l

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEWS.
COLUMBIA, Thursday, August 4.
Some indications Of the policy Of his Excel
lency the Governor with reference to the Or
ganization Of the militia may appear in what
he has done in Rchland County.
. There were several companies Of colored
volunteer militia troops organized and prompt
" supplied with arms. They hive been drill
ling for some months. Five Of these parade d
in the celebration of the Fourth Of July.
So much for the colored troops. No COM
plant is Intended, nor Is any implied, in these
statements about the organizations regularly
completed.
But-and here appears glimpse of'the poll
cy-there were also raised two or three COM
panies of whites. or these only one-the Co.
lumbia Rifles. Captain O'Neale-has been as
cepted. ohe others were declHed by his Ex-
cellency, upon the ground, 1--WE will suppose,)
that his complement was full before they pre-
sentcd themselves.
There is nothing to complain Of in this, pro-
vided we are satisfied with the reasons al
legged.
But why has not this white company, ac-
cepted several weeks-probably two months
ago, been commissioned: as to its officers and
furnished with arms, as the colored companies
were {? To my certain knowledge application
has been made repeatedlglto the Governor for
commissions and arms, SO thattthe esprit de
corps might not die out, ,laadsthaf the. drilling
might 60 on regularly His 'EScelency has
constantly deferred the matter with civil
words.
The delay cannot be shifted to the Office Of
the Acknowledgement, for upon application to
that bureau, Assistant Adjutant-General Elliott
seconded the application, and In person urged
the granting Of commissions and the regular
issue Of arms to this company. ~.
And still his Eycelency refuses.
He may have arlght to refuse.
And our people have right to know it.

The removal of Dr. j. W. Parker from the

connected for long time, excites a good deal
of comment, but not much surprise. His re-
cord Is so honorable there that his removal
proves how clear the party lines are to be cut

can be assigned for it.
DR.. Ensor, who succeeds Dr.. Parker, Is not

would not have been worse than DR.. Ensor.
