A Spill in the Radical Party.
We learn from the Orangcburg
News, Of Saturday, the l7th lust {,
that y County Nominating Convcn-
tion of the R,dieal party, or Scott
Ring, Was held in that town on Tues
day last. Ere the business of the
Convention was transacted, number
Of tho Delegates withdrew, having be-
come disguised with the doings Of the
body, as will hc seen by the following
extract from the report Of the pro-
ccedings, as furnished by the Orange
burg News
Well the nominating commenced.
Money flowed openly, plainly. The
Offices were bought aud sold, aud
dark rumor says that heavy prices
we're paid for the nominations,

The power Of the 'srius" is weaken

as they we're before, at the open fraud
and trickcry Of this party machinery,
the colored men, in large numbers,
are willing to throw off it's CALLING
slavery, and assert their right to vote
as they please. We can nominate
ticket that will suit all classes and it
will be elected.
The corruption of this nominating
system is apparent now to all. Tue
colored people see it. Men here in
Orangeburg go out into the country
and are sent back as delegates from
other precincts and they control and
sell out the nominations, and then all
arc bound and pledged to vote for it.
