There was very large meeting at Oak
Grove, St. Andrews parish, on Thursday, and
another equally large and enthusiastic
Lambs farm, both of which were addressed
by The Hon. O. G. Bowen and other speakers.
At both places, Mr.. Bowen made terrible
Onslaught upon the Scott Ring and Its para
sites In this county. He said that the thieves
would sell out the State and swindle the people
out of all they had; that 1t was the duty OF
every Republican support General Grant;
that he had no compromise to make With
Greeley nor the Democrats, and that there
was not money enough In the country to turn
him, poor as he was, from his purpose 10 clean
this State from stem to stern, and to inaugu-
rate an honest, upright and able Republican
administration. He closed, In both instances,
an effective appeal by calling down the ven.
geance OF the people upon those who had, In
and out of the Legislature, sold them and
their rights, and dragged In the dust the honor
of the party and the name of the State. he
was frequently interrupted by manifestations
of The Widest enthusiasm. Mr.. Bowen Is,
and hos always been, o Radical, but unlike
other prominent leaders his pockets are
empty, and he Is unquestlonably earnest In bis
movement. Such work from Mr. Bowen Is
surprising, but his constituents know him
best, and he is certainly their ablest and most
popular leader In this section.

JUDGE ORR IND THE RING.
The Hopes and Fears OF the Radical
Politictans-The p q N and the
Baekers OF Orr-Parker's Gold Mine.
ErRoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT


COLUMBIA, June II.
There Is no apparent political actirii!
among the Radical grandees at the capita
just yet. The idea seems to be to stave off The
Republican nominating convention as long al
possible in the hope that the white people
may be tempted to take same prior actor
and thus neutralze the efforts Of the dis
affected Republicans within their own ranks
and consolidate the vote Of tho party and
re-establish The Ring. Scott, Moses, Jr., and
Neagle, are spoken Of by the Radicals
as the most probable candidates for Governor;
It ls believed, however, that there is strong
opposition being organized against either Of
| them or ar member of the Ring. Orr will
lead, or direct this opposition, under insruc.
tlons from Washington; the object being to
relieve Grant at the North, as far as may be, oi
the odlum of the present rotten concern which
Scott heads, and to give promise of something
better in the future. Scott occupied con.
spicuous seat in the hall when Orr made his
speech here some time since. He seemed to
enjoy hugely the clumsy eulogy Of Grant, and
Orr's elephantlne antics over the ''bloody out.
rages," but took his closing remarks about the
State government In high dudgeon. all the
other white Radicals who were present went
up and congratulated Orr alter his great effort,
but Scott sulked out with his head down, and
would give In no paw or his to man 30 want
ing in politeness as to speak of honesty In his
presence.
A few days ago, Orr delivered second edi-
ton of his Columbia Grafton at Abbevile, en-
larged though, and doubtless vastly improved
by most vigorous attack upon Scott, Moses,
Jr., and the present State Government gen.
orally.
Thus the fight has commenced, and 1t will
probably wax warmer and warmer as the CAM
paign progresses. Orr has no Insignificant
strength among the Republicans in the State,
and If, as your correspondent was Informed
by a leading Radical to-day, he has the ear of
Grant and the Moguls at Washington, Scott,
Moses & Co., despite their lavish use Of money,
may have TO succumo. Orr, 1t is said, does
not expect to be Governor, but to get In some
more reputable character than Scott. he
himself looks to higher honors-a Cabinet
position or a foreign mission.
There are no new developments In the legal
proceedings against Parker. He is, or pre-
tends to be, making up full exhibit of his
receipts and expenditures for the last two
years, for which document the plaintiffs are
waiting.
A Republican who ought TO know says that
Parker has five hundred thousand dollars in
vested In fve-Lwenty United States bonds,
which he has picked up since he has been
conducting the financial affairs of this pros
porous Commonwealth. QUI VNE.

WASHINGTON, June %.
Radical leaders here are In great tribulation
at the demonstrations oil over the country in
favor OF Greeley, and are rendered desperate
by the fact that no one now denies that the
Bllimore Convention will endorse hfs nomi
nation, and In that nomination presage their
own defeat. They have set the Radical cam
palgu committee, With Zach. Chandler at Its
head, to work on:a file OF the New York Tri-
bune from ils first Issue down to the present
date, and have a large force of clerks, "goy-
erRment employees" engaged In Compiling
therefrom everything That Greeley has ever
said editorially during his long political CO.
reer against the Democratic party. This is
to be published as q Radical campaign docu-
ment, and used freely in Democratic dis
tricts.
Leading Conservatives here laugh at the
project ,and believe 1t will not dlssuade cor
poral's guard of Democratic voters from
Greeley's support. The administration Is wo-
fully frightened at the intelligence received
from Indiana of extensive defecLions from the
Radical ranks Orders have been given to
food the State with speakers and documents,
and twenty thousand dollars vii be used In
that State alone. Similar fears are expressed
about Pennsylvania, and Cameron is expect
ed to foot the bill In that State.
