Messrs. Stephney Riley and VIM. Black fol-
lowed Judge Carpenter, making very elective
speeches. ..,oo,.
and the excursousts re-embarked aboard OF
the Starlight which was eelly decked with
flags. The wharf was crowded with coiored
men, who, as the steamer moved OH, cheered
with perfect good humor for Carpenter and
Butler.
HoMEwARD BOUND.
The homeward trip was very pleasant one.
and by 10 O'Clock the whole party, none the
worse for wear, were landed at the wharf In
IL uuu oCCus iuuSSu1 PASe>a'
trip. There was amability in even the roar
ing OF the brass gun, and the midnight explo-
dons of the enemies of slumber. Captain
Coste did all that could be done to make the
time pass safely and JOLLY, and the committee
at Beaufort were unceasing in their kind at
;tention. The collation. to which the Charles
ton committee and the speakers were invited
was recherche affair, and proved that
Beaufort is still an adept in the
choicest arts of the cuisine. Colonel
Elliott, Dr. Stuart and their colleagues leave
the whole party heavily in their debt. Politi-
cally speaking, the meeting was triumph.
It was evidently the plan of the Radical lead
ers (mainly Smalls and Langley to cough
down and talk down the speakers. They
failed miserably, just as Whipper failed in his
attempt to get up rival meeting. He had
seventy-fve hearers, by count, against the
two thousand who listened to the Retormers.
The effect was excellent, and the Reform clubs
already organized in the county will tell the
tale next month. Beaufort is, with all its
losses, a Joyous place, and when it has another
Reform rally in the style Of that Of Monday
last, ''may we be there to see."
