Startling Revelations.

WATERFORD, September II.
Your correspondent is not ubiquitous, only
a little like the Pruss'ans in France, to be
found generally about the country. In my
peregrinations find myselfagain among these
..numan fossils" where are still entertained
those antiuuated ideas of integrity and honor,
far behind the age of railroads, telegrapts,
fast women and political tricksters.
| The tyrannical misrule of Dictator Scott has
thoroughly aroused all classes here to q 1uii
appreciation of the necessity for the REFORM
which has been inaugurated, and they are
working with an energy which must insure
success. The colored people are cooperating
heartily with the whites in the effort to ro!l up
Ter in October Charles Heape, county jallor;
july Brown, Jack Mcclellan, Toby Grant, ana
other colored men of respectabllity, are call
ing meetings among their people, anu are ae-
voting their energies In every other way IN
the common cause. With perfect confidence,

that ercrescence, Summerville, and portion o.
the county lying next to Beaufort, will teach
the Scott Radicals lesson In October never

Let us take their meeting here on the 10th as
! criterion. It had been advertised at every
cross-road for weeks ahead; yet they did not

| ton they opointed q committee to wait on
| Colonel Campbell and ask him to address
them, hoping thereby to draw crowd-and It
was perfect success. Colonel Campbell was fol-
lowed by A. P. Holmes in speech so soporihc
that the audience were only aroused from

Fox, who had arraigned Governor Scott and
his tool, Mcintyre, and was convicting each
| by the evidence Of the other. He used
strong and plain Lnglish in portraying
the perfdy of scott and his party. He read
| from the House Journa! Mclntyre's vote against
the biz for funding the bills Of the Bank OF ihe
State, where he charged Scott With corrupno!,
and ''inaugurating scheme to enrich himself
at the expense Of the State He told them
| that this Mcintyre was DOW among them boast
| ing that he had $4,000 with which he would
buy their votes for this same man he had
charged in '6s with prostituting his power.
This Induced the chairIaan to send three mes
sages after Mr.. Mcintyre to come and defend
himself and his candidate. But Mcintyre knew
what Fox was saying could not be ceatro-
| verted. and felt no disposition to "bresk a
lancen with him. besides, he had seen others
writhing under the sting of Fox's sarcastic wit;
and, whilst he acknowledged 1t fashionable in
his party, felt no inclination to become himself
martyr.
Among the speakers at this meeting were
tie two Trial Justices Jacoby; and, as 1t is my
| purpose to give you an account Of the acttngS
and doings Of the several trial justices OF this
county, I will begin here with the FIRST OF
these, Sigismund A. Jacoby, who used to ply
the trade of peddler, and is now located IN
Sheridan Township. In pair OF huge, nat
and angular feet, the toes almost on line
with the outer seams OF his pants, are pair OF
little, shriveled, knock-kneed legs. supporting

huge head. covered with mass OF matted

ewes almond-shaped, and beyond the reach Of

O caricature, and you may form some ialnt
idea OF this little monster. He who supPoses
this picture '!overdrawn," can very soon nave
the evidence of his own senses to prove that
1t falls far short OF coming up to the original.
Nor is his mind less deformlty than his body.
Ignorant, vicious, interruptions and vindlcGVe,
he is ft tool for Scott or any other tyrant
who may require his services. He got in debt

Robinson Co. A clear case OF perjury mas
recently been proved against him, IN which
some Of the most Radical men in the county
swore they would not believe him on his
oath. A travelling Snowman who was takef
III at his store, was permitted TO remain IN tue
piazza until in the very agonies OF Heath,
when he was removed to On old emr:y OUT
house. where he died. Jacoby sold his team.
wagon and animals, and pOcketed sl4O Jor sr-
penseS and services.
The League hos been reorganized in his
township. under his supervision, and the way
he controls may be inferred from the follow
inc: Mr. Fox was inrited BY the colored people
to speak at a meeting in Jacobys neigheor-
hood. On his arrival, Jscoby ordered him TO
quit the ground; that he only came there ITO
tell desc people dam Democrat lies" and
called on the colored people TO drive him
away. But Fox was of sterner stufl than 10 be
intimidated, and, by his conduct, gave courage
to those who had invited him 70 demonstrate
with the nfuriated little beast But ne only
became more furious, and swore that they
:.should not listen to dat dam fella. Fox be-
gan TO speak in spite OF him, when he rushed
up to Fox, cursing and brandshing his hsts.
This was more than Fox could stand; so he
turned on Jacoby, and, in a tone not TO be mis-
taken, said 'sSit down aud hold your tongue,
Won damned little thief" This brought shout
from the crowd, and caused the little wretch
to subside.
Clothed with judicial authority by our peace
this creature is feared and despfsed by the
people of his neighborhood.
In my next, will give you sore of the rich
eat and raciest trials and decisiCls on record.
Everybody is on the qui uiie for Carpenter
and Butler. All things promise an immense
and enthusiastic meeting on the 23d, notwith-
standing the ''irrepressible" Klein has ordered
everybody out to work the roads, so as to pre-
vent 1t. The day Of Radical grace is wei nigh
spent. and that Of retribution is at hand-and
they feel il. JUAN.
