lFRoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENCE

Previous to the overwhelming defeat OF tne
Radicals in Charleston your correspondent,
who has had opportunities Of hearing the
views OF South Carolnians of all shades In pc
Itics, found that little or no thought was taken
In regard to the State elections next year.
The Democrats or Conservatives, depressed
by the defeat of the Gubernatorlal ticket at
the last election, deemed 1t almost useless to
make any further opposition, while the Radi-
calls, relying upon their sthirty thou
sand majority" to carry the day under
any and all circumstances, appeared to be dis
posed to let matters rest until the last mo-
ment, and then elect any persons who may be
the .Ravori!es of the hour. But with the
Charleston election great change Is mani
tested. The Radicals, disheartened by defeat
80 unexpected and so complete In their strong.
hold, are casting about for the s'coming man, "
or men, who will unite their factions and Ia
sure victory In the gubernatorial election.
The Conservatives, elated ln ratio correspon-
ding to the depression OF their opponents, are
talking hopefully, and recognize the fact That
the same self-sacrifce, zeal and determlnatlon
which the Charlestonians exhibited, will, fex-
ercised by the citizens OF the State next year,
place as glorious victory in their grasp.
Republicans, one and all, whether OF the
4elany black, the DeLarge brown, or the
Bowen white, call for thorough reorganiza-
ton OF 1.-THE party" But then arises the diff
Guilty: The native white Republicans, with the
majority of the negroes at their backs, clamor
for a native party, and q general invitation
for the carpet.baggers to take "back seat,
and If they "do not like that to leave" the
State. This element speaks fayorably of e1-
Governor Orr as their nominee for Governor,
Lieutenant Governor. 1t Is claimed by many
that 80 lar as Orr Is concerned his views are
known, and 'Sarkis e wlllin'." But It Is
urged by some, that while the Ex-Governor
has control of the wires for Scott's seat, yet he
has other wires In operation tor his election to
the United States Senate, as soon as elected
governor. His supporters for the office OF gov
ernor urge that his aspirations are serious
objection to his nomination, as If successful It
will give the control of the State to Cardozo,
whom they are willing to trust with the second
but not with the frat place in the State. The
putting forth OF the above ticket will, II Is be-
Neved, unite all factions, Orr securing the sup
port of the whites, while Cardozo is sop
the land, Insist on making dist1aftion regard
ing color, &e. As before stated, this ticket Is
spoken of by the scalawags and blacks. The
carpet-baggers. who speak of the election at
all. have very little to say; but many express
the opinion that the ttorney-generals (Cham-
berlain) chances for the nomination for Cover

elements of the party. They say nothing deh.

place, but deem It essential that colored man
shall be placed In nomination, and that more
of the State offices be given to that race. a
few think that Pillsbury should be given some-
thiny to console him for the loss OF the Mayor
atty, and doubt not that he will get quite
number of votes In convention for the office Of
Lieutenant Governor. However, If 1.-The par
ty" be successful he will be cared for. There
is great anxiety among all Republicans TO
Alcertain from the Conservatives what man
General n. c. Butler will be supported for the
place, andseem TO dread his nomination. They
consider their chances Of success very uncer,
tain, unless they can 80 mix up the State and
United States politics as to confuse their 6e-
nighted followers, and thereby, while making
them vote the straight Presidential ticket, Ia
sure their votes for the straight State ticket.
The Conservatives talk little OF men put
much of the platform for the coming cam
paign While many are In favor OF an out
and-out Democratic platform, the majority
believe that 1t is the best and only secure
plan to make the issue not one OF politics.
but, like the people Of Charleston, unite the
honest and good men Of all shades OF color
and opinion, and make grand, sole attack
upon the bands of marauders who, altnougn
laden with the substance OF the good people
of South Carolina, are organizing anew 70 Sc
cure another lease OF the privilege OF unre'
strlcted robbery. Generals j. b. kersnaW,
M. G. Butler and James Conner are mentioned
In connection with the Governorshlp, but Gen.
eral Butler Is generally regarded as the man
for the place, and the only one who can
lead the people to victory. CHARLESTON.
