friendsl The speaker. said that sh,
Republican party did not deny tha
there had been corruption aud dis
honesty in that party. That it was to-
glaring aud fiagrant to be denied. II,
referred to the enormous taxation, auG
asked what benefits had been conferred
upon the masses.
He also showed up q few Of tn.
transactions Of tbs Edgefieid County
commissioners. He said he had il fron
the best authority, (the books of th,
internal revenue assessor,) that ther.
were thirty-five licensed liquor, dealer.
in Edgeaeld County. The county com
missioners had charged fifty dollars the
first year, aud one hundred dollars the
second year, which would make upwards
OF $4,000 for licenses, and that they had
only made return of twenty-five hun
dred dollars collected by them in two
years. Another gigantic swindle and
fraud upon the people. They had
charged the country thirty. five hundred
dollars for their services, when they
should not have charged more than five
hundred. Still another instance of tho
fattening of public officials upon the
spoils of office, wrung from the people
by dishonest means; aud at tho same
time the poor people who sat on juries,
and did other small jobs for the public,
had to hawk their tickets and drafts
about the streets aud sell them for fifty
cents on the dollar.
The above is but q brief synopsis of
the telling and scathing speech of this
honest pioneer of the colored men. He
was listened to very attentively by all
parties, and was frequently interrupted
with applause.
Governor Bonham was then called
upon, and he responded in a short and
spirited address. He said, among other
things, that he was glad to welcome to
Edgefield such men of the Republican
party as Judge Carpenter and Mr.. Byrd,
and that he could take them by the hand
and call them his fiiends. At the close
OF his speech the meeting adjourned.
Within the last few days there have
been good rains in some portions of the
county where they were greatly needed.
They were not general, however, and
some sections are still suffering. The
crops are now about laid by, and except
the few sections above alluded to, they
are said to be doing very we'll. j

THE "wHITTRmoRR PARrx.n

When such man as Whittemore il
not only reelected to the place in Con.
gress which he disgraoed by his
corruption, but is made tho prominent
figure in State convention of his party,
it is not hard to see that dangerous
class Of politicians and debased condi-
tion of political morals are again upper
most in South Carolina. No fairminded,
intelligent American, whatever his
party leaniugs may be, can have any
other feeling than that of disgust for
the political ohicanery that loads to such
humiliating results, nor should he have
any other language for them than un-
qualified condemnation.

not hazard an election, sud the Legisla-
ture is passing an act, under color Of
Congressional authority, to continue
tho present Radical officers in authori-
ty beyond the term for which they were
chosen. It is not negro voting, but
outside Federal pressure, that is the
unmanageable element in Southern
politics. The only means of relief is q
political revolution Id the North, and
Southern Democrats must concede that
our opportunities for knowing the North
are better than theirs.
We ask the Southern Democrats to
recognize the fact that the North is the
real battle-ground Of political freedom
for their section. Here, whore the
victory is to be won, if won at all, We
have no negro voters worth naming.
1t is contest between two parties Of
white men, aud perpetuation Of the
old quarrel about the rights of the ne
gro only strengthening the enemy. The
negro question is the only one OF which
thes.Radical party agree; it is their only
principle Of cohesion. The surest way
to prevent the disintegration of the
Republican party is to keep that ques-
tion alive aud continue to force it upon
the country as political issue. The
Democrats can become majority only
by drawing off some Republican votes;
but on the negro issue, the Republican
party can easily hold its own, and SO
long as it retains the control of Con-
gress, there can be no freedom in the
South. IF that section will heed the
timely advice given in the Democratic
Congressional address, and drop "dead
issues" wc can easily revolutionize the
lower branch Of Congress in this years
elections, now close at hand. We ask
the Southern Democrats, both for their
sake and for ours, to put no obstacle in
the way of our achieving this victory.
When the Federal government is once
more in Democratic hands, we are quite
willing they should manage their local
politics in their own way, and will not
then intrude upon them any unweloome
advice.

TALE BEARING.

Never repeat story unless you are
certain it is correct, and not even then
unless something is to be gained, either
of interest to yourself or for the good OF
the person concerned. Tattling is q
mean and wicked practice, and he who
INDUCES in it grows more fond of it in
proportion as he is successful. If you
have no good to say of your ghbor,
never reproach his character by telling
that which is false. Hc who tells you
the faults of others intends to tell others
of your faults, and so the dish OF news is
handed from one to another till the
table becomes enormous.

USEFUL RECIPES.

To choose nutmegs, prick them with
a pin; if the oil comes out they are
good.
To give gloss to shirt bosoms and
collars, add piece of white wax and
spermaceti, each about the size of pea
to a pint of starch, while boiling Iron
until smooth, as friction puts on the
gloss.

Wounded, aad Ono Shot ThrssEh
Tho Cheat.

We have just received the following
important telegram from Empire, Civ
ing particulars Of the attempt made
to escape by the convicts at the State
Prison, near Carson, this morning,
and their desperate battle with the
guard:
This morning, about Q o'clock, as the
prisoners at the State Prison were
being let out into the large hall, pre-
vious to going to breakfast, a desperate
attempt to escape was made by them,
by rushing upon. disarming and over
towering the guards. Before more
than five had succeeded in getting out,
the iron doors were closed. Those
that werc out, armed with q knife, q
bar Of iron and a piece Of lead pipe,
attacked the guards aud attempted to
disarm them. Captain Dillman, who
was stationed at the door, was seized
by the whiskers by one Of them, when
he drew his deringer and shot him
through the abdomen. Mcclure, the
r~ingleader. formerly prison guard at
San Quentin, and sentenced from Lam
der county, after being shot twice
through the body, while attempting to
wrench a pistol from one Of the guards
was shot through the head by Bowen
and killed. After the fight there were
two found mortally wounded, n shot
through the chest and dangerously
wounded, and II killed. The other
escaped through the door, and was
afterwards found In the cellar. The
guards, though severely, are not dam
gerouSlY hurt.
