Il GOOD BEGINNING.
The Colorcd People have had Enough
of Radical Lying.

BeANoHvILLE. September II.
Que Thomas B. Pohl was to deliver an ini-
tiatory Radical harangue at this place on Sat-
urday. But the colored men were not as deep
" interested in him Us he seemed to be in
them, therefore but few were present at the
meeting. Some that we're in town on being
asked if they were not going to hear the
speech, replied that they had heard enough Of
Radical lying already. The speaking did take
place, but not in Branchville nor at the hour
appointed, for when the hour for speaking
came few Reformers we're present, and it
seemed that the speaker did not feel disposed
to face them for upon being called for he
tried to exSuse himself by stating that he
would address them somewhere that night,
and said that no Reformers should be allowed
to be present; that they would report the pro-
ceedings to The News and they would make
political capital out OF it; that they should
punch them oat, drive them away. Some one
in the crowd cried, "Yes. shoot 'em, shoot 'en. !"
He then proceeded by reading the coummuni-
cation from this place published in The NEWS
Of the 7th instant. He denounced the writer
as an eavesaropper. But alas, it was too true
he dared not deny 1t. The meeting broke up
did not attend but was informed that he did
speak. Ee referred them to his past political
career, which can say was not very bright
one, but did not tell them that he had ex-
pressed bis sentiments to some one not mIny
hours before that, by saying that he was as
good Democrat at heart as any man, in the
State; that his desire is to pacify the feelings
of animosity that now exists between the two
races. But if his Saturdays harangue is a
beginning, we would advise him to withdraw
from the attempt.
There will be Reform meeting held here
on Saturday next for the purpose OF organizing
-iorm Club. May the good work steadily
advance as it has done since the commence
ment of Reform, and the band OF thieves that
now rule our State be driven to their riahtful
desert. E.

spot 10, 600 Prussians, gradually increased to
$1,000, and struggled against 10000 French.
Though the official list doea not yet extend to
this sanguinary encounter, there can be no
doubt as to the CORE ctuess OF the privatein-
teligeuce forwarded me. which gives the total
losses at 2297, OF whom 81 are dead and 1886
wounded. Accordingly, every twelfth man
was killed or wounded. Some companies lett
nearly half their men on the spot. as. for In
stance, the 5th company OF the 4sth tRhlne.
Iapders, } which went with 25O men into the
fire and came out with 129, and the hrst COM
which. on the evening of the battle, consigned
lot comrades either to the grave or the hos
pitaI. Passing on to thu tremendous three
davs' battle near Metz, we have but private IN.
te.igenee, and this only referring to individual
detachments; yet we know already enough to
imagine the rest. On the 14th, in the action
named after Pange or Courceles, the 4oEh
(Rhinelanders) lost 81 officers and o9l rank
and file; in otherwords, about one-third OF its
complement. A rifle battalion in the same
locality was by the enemy's fire deprived OF 8
OF it's officers and 270 rank and h'e-i: e., OF
third of the officers and fourth OF the men.
On the 14:h as well ns on the 16th-the latter
being the battle of Marsha Tour or Vionvllle-
the losses of the Prussisns were comparatively
greater than those Of the French, the former
being on both occasions greatly outnumbered,
yet holding fast to the enemy with ouil-aog's ;
tenacity, to give their main force time to come
up and engage him in right earnest. At Mars-la-
Tour the best blood of the country was split
like water. Within a few moments. by the
unexpected unmasking Of mitrailleur bat
terry. Count Westarp Count Wesdelen, Baron
Kleist. Henry vi, Prince OF Reuss, Baron IN
Grimm, Baron Witzleben, and many other
noblemen Of high rank and position,. were
killed. The grand finale at Rezonyille,- or
Graveotte, on the 18th, where the Prussiano
hosts at last assembled in strength, are said
to have suffered loss OF 1900 Gombatants,
was worthy Of the beginning. Nor did the
French suffer less. In the three actions near
Metz they had nearly 5000 dead, aad 10000
dead, wounde |, and prisoners. together.

They were out drilling yesterday. and made moi
fine appearance.

the war. organized company and we're not
accepted. But company. great many OF
whom hare boarded at the big house IN Co.

Several of the colored people are dissatisfied
with the nominations. and gay they will not
vote the ticket. Their dissatisfaction arises
from one of the nominees for the Legislature,
Mr.. b. Bryce. They say he has too many ofhces
already.
Some of the colored folks had a ''set-to' to-
night on the strength OF the drilling and nomi-
nations. One poor fellow had his head shiver-
ed with bottle. OF rather both head ana bot
tie were shivered. It was altogether among
themselves, who, from the noise they made,
had lively time.
We arc told that work will commence on the

a brief conversation the gentleman left the

The Empress was so strong that she was

action of the convention bald at Florence on
the 10th ult., for the purpose Of nominating q
suitable person to represent the First Con-
gresslonal District in the Congress Of the Unit
ed States For the honor that has been con-
ferred upon my poor name am profoundly
grateful, as well as for the courteous terms In
which you, as the organ Of the convention,
gence. At a time like the present. and under
the circumstances by which we are surround
ed, may be permitted. to dispense with any
mere ceremony Of words and come directly to
the point, by announcing promptly and frank
ly that accept this nomination for veal or for
woe, and shall endeavor to deserve the gener-
GUS confidence which inspired the action of the
convention.
For the present, it will be enough to say
that hail this event as complete vlndication
of my countrymen, from the slanders that
have been so industriously circulated against
bellon and Ku-Klux outrages are to be dread
ed here, as threatening the public peace, the
world has now before 1t the strange anomaly
Of such people selecting for their repre-
sentative in Congress one whose whole life
has been devoted to the Union! With Carpenter,
Butler, Kennedy and other distinguished gen
tlemen already before the public, proclaiming
in behalf of the people of South Carolina that
they accept in good faith the inexorable logic:
of events, they have summoned to the field In
the same cause one who must entirely mis-
represent them If they are enemies to the
peace OF the country and the integrity Of the,
Union.

their fortunes-their proud and noble spirits.
