This is certainly very lucky for Grant,

IrRox AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENCE


ST. JAMES SANTEE, s. c., June 8.
A meeting was held to-day at the Thirty
two-mle House, st. James Santee, by the
rowdy Radicals, liberal and unlibera, for the
purpbse of electing chairman of their party
10 the parishes The meeting was organized
by electing Moses Reid chairman, and F. B.
Drayton secretary.
Trial Justice w. G. Pinckney then assumed
the duties of the chair, and explained the
the object of the meeting, as well as great
many other things, which he has often done
before, such as his original birth and training,
also what he had done for his people, allndDg
often 10 "Old massa" and his government,
ABUSING Northern men who had settled among
,ls most bitterly. and appealing TO the sSmpa-
thies OF his hearers at great ienstni 1s Iae
ney and the Campbell parties, both leaders
asnlrInp to the office to be filed, the Campbell
lltss became impatient, and called on Inc
chair for the election. efhe chairman tried In
vain TO call the meeting TO order. Pinck-
ney still stubbornly refused to surrender the
stand, and his opponents began interruptlDg
him by interrogaling him, and deny his as
sertions, and accusing him Of repeatedly sell
Ing them out and of trying to do so now; also
of being bought with bacon and red corn by
the candidates he supported. He IN turn
denied the charges In q profane and sacrile-
gious manner. He, however, In due llme
gave wa. and allowed one Of his opponents
to take ne stand, who had not spoken long
before hc assalled Plnckney's character IN
such way as 10 prove nnbearable. Plnckney
Interrupted him, and being backed by MS iol-
lowers, all talking 30 as TO render any aistlnc.
lion impossible, the excitement grew nlgn and
words rIpened to blows. The speaker was
pulled down from his stand, when ne made
straight at Plnckney, and they closed ior the
opening of general row. rush was made
by both parties at them and on them, also lnto
a room where there is an armory OF STATE
guns.
Bites, pistols, knives and clubs were now
nonrished in fury, everybody doing or want
ing to do something 10 somebody. The secre,
tary lett table, books, papers, &C., and ieaped

home he went. Some were running 10 ana
fro, wild with excitement, and some win

the mob, and, finally, the Campoellltes were
driven from the field with no one nnrt.
Pipckney's face was somewhat bunged. The
victorIoIs champion now returned to his stand,
and calling his crowd around him, ana WIN
heart and eyes too full to speak, rebuked MS
followers for allowing him to be Imposed upon,
and boasted of having shed blood TOR them,
said he was now truly soldier Of the cross.
He now went on with the business, ana ac-
complished his election without dissenting

GREELEY rs 4 POET.


Horace Greeley, the very same who is candi-

least he has written one. We presume but few OF
the present generation Lave ever read line OF
Greeley's poetry, and we will not keep them walt
ing. In oook Of typographical MIscellanies, pub
llshed thirty three years ago, when the Tribune
was young and Its editor vigorous We find the
following!
Sonnet-A Portrait OF q Lady.
By HORACE GRRBLEY.
The blissful June OF Life love to gaze
On its sweet wealth Of rlpening loneliness,
And lose the thought that DER my saduehlns
days
Grim care has worn clouds which Will depress
In spite Of stole pride and stern resolve:
Beauty like this the waste OF life redeems
Round it-their sun-the coldest hearts reVolve,
Warm'd back to youth and gladdsned by It's
beams.
But lady tn that mild. soul-speaking glance,
Those lustrous orbs returning heaven Its hue,
greet an earlier friend-forRive the trance?
IT'S nature only, tmaged here 30 true
That, briefly. forgot the painters art
And hailed the presence OF Queenly heart.
