Political Meeting at Belton.

We are informed that the Republican meet
ing at Bolton on the 31st was rather slimly at
tended, considering that it had been announced
several weeks in advance. Speeches were made
by Judge Orr, Capt. Earle, Congressman
Elicit, and others. The burthen of the
speeches was the great necessity for the
reelection of President Grant, because OF
his efficiency in putting down Ku Kluxism.
Some Of the speakers were severe in their de-
nuuciation of the ring, the fraud and corrap4
Gon of State officials, &c. We trust these will
continue their castigation of the party until
they shall have been driven from place and
power Let them keep up the fire, and prove
their faith by their works. We understand
that whiskey was afoat to some extent.

The Saluda Association.

We presume it is generally known that this
religious body will celebrate its 10th anniver-
sary with the Baptist Church at this place,
commencing on Thursday morning, the 9th
inst, and continuing certainly over the ensuing
Sunday. We understand ample preparations
have been made for the accommodation Of del
egates, ministers and visitors, and it is expect
ed very large concourse of citizens from the
surrounding country will be present. A stand
has been erected in a grove some three or four
hundred yards from the Church, in the midst
of the most comfortable surroundings of water
and shade, at which the public preaching of
the occasion will be conducted generally,
whilst the House is occupied by the represen-
tatives of the churches in counsel. 1t is ex-
peeted that the occasion will be most inter-
ssting one, and this community will be delight
ed to see its friends from the whole surround
ing country present

n@r A correspondent of the Beaufort Repu6-
Scan giving an account of meeting at Law
tonville in that county gives the following re-
port of the sparring between two of the princi-
pal speakers:
Whipper then took the stand. He proceeded
to point out the fact that Senator Smalls had
voted for every administration measure, and
that he YVES now going back on the Columbia
ring merely for political purposes: He charged
him with being corrupt, and added that the
whole delegation was equally SO. The valida-
ting bill, the Blue Ridge swindle, etc, had re-
ceivea the vote of every one except himself
He wound up by defence of Northern men,
asserting that he was proud of having been
born freeman.
NJ B. Myers then took the platform and made
telling speech. He raked up many damaging
charges against Whipper. Said that he had
swindled the State in connection with the Land
Commission, the Sinking Fund, and in the
Legislative expenses. He asserted that he
could prove by witness present that Attorney
General Chamberlain had paid Whipper five
thousand dollars to be left out of the impeach-
ment resolutions. Upon being requested to
show his witnesses he rather weakened, but
persisted in asserting the truth of the charge
from his own knowledge.

Mr.. Summers Letter.

To the exclusion of other matter we publish
II this issue the letter of Hon. Charles Sumner
to colored men who had asked his counsel il
reference to the candidates for the Presidency
He answers them fully, freely and frankly
avowing his preference for Mr.. Greeley, and
shows the coored man that he is more theil
friend than President Grant has been or will
be in the future. Mr.. Sumner has always ad
vocated the freedom and rights of the colored
man, and we can but hope they will heed hi,
wise counsel now.

Public Meeting. on saleday.:

On Monday last there was q large and inter
esting public meeting held in the Court House,
the object of which is best stated by the reso-
buttons published in this issue. II was not our
fortune to be present, but understand that con-
siderable interest was manifested in the object
of the meeting. Hon. ]. P. Reed made one OF
his rousing speeches, and those who heard him
speak of his effort in highest terms. The res
olutions provide for a call of State Conven-
Mon on the 2Sth inst, to be held in Columbia
Just one week after the Republican Convention
Present indications point to split in the Re-
publican Convention; and for the sake of hon
est government it is sincerely hoped that there
will be enough honesty in the Republican
Convention of the 21st, to stem the current OF
misrule and corruption, and nominate men who
are decent, honest and capable. Should it do
30, then the Democratic Convention of the
2Sth will add its hearty amen, and by its voice
and votes assist true Republicans in reforming
the State, and giving to the people true Repub-
ican form of governments government in
which both white and colored men, and their
children after them, will feel secure in their
life, liberty and property. The Democratic
party is organizing-not for the purpose Of
mere opposition, but that it may husband its
strength for the coming contest, and that it
may throw its whole weight in favor of reform
Its present motto is
ITO catch the manners living as they rise,
And to shoot folly as IL flies"

North Carolina Election.

The latest dispatch from Charlotte, N. c.,

has been very close. The Liberals and Demo-

and two-thirds of the Legislature.

DEATH OF THE NOTORIOUS CAPT. HAMIL-
ToN.-From private source, we learn of the
prevalence of rumor at Thomson, of the
death of the notorious Capt. Hamilton, who
will be remembered as the leader of q band OF
robbers, horse thieves and murderers convicted
of their crimes in McDuffie County. At the
time of his death, Hamilton was undergoing q
sentence to the penitentiary for ten years hard
labor on the Airline Rairoad.--Augusta

it became right jolly. The candidates were

sure it cannot be best Tor the c0l0red people TO
band together in hostile camp, provoking an
tagonism and keeping alive the separation of
races. Above all, there must be no intimida-
tion, but every voter must act freely, without
constraint from league or lodge. Much better
will it be when the two political parties COM
pete for YOUR votes, each anxious for your sup
bort. Only then will that citizenship, by
which YOU are entitled to the equal rights of
all. have its natural fruits. Only then will
there be that harmony which is essential to a
true civilization.
The present position of the colored citizen
is perilous. He is exposed to injurious pres
ure when he needs support. But see no early
extrication except in the way proposed. Let
him cut adrift from managers who would WELD
him merely as a political force, with little re-
gard to his own good, and bravely stand by the
candidate who has stood by him. If Demo-
Gratis unite with him, so omuch the better. The
association once begun must naturally ripen in
common friendship and trust.
I am for peace in reality as in name. From
the bottom of my heart am for peace, and l
welcome all that makes for peace With deep
felt satisfaction remember that no citizen who
drew his sword against us has suffered by the
hand of the executioner. In just association
with his humanity will be the triumph of
equal rights when the promises OF the great
declaration are all fulfilled, and our people are
united as never BEFORE in the enduring fellow
shin of common citizenship. To this end
there must be reconciliation, nor can | with

is offered, and reach forth my own in friendly
grasp. am against the policy of hate; | am
against tanning ancient flames into continual
life; am against raking in the ashes of the

ashes; extinguish the flames; abolish the hate
such is my desire. And now, turning to the
Democratic party, hold it to all the covenants
solemnly given in the adoption of a Republic
can platform with Horace Greeley as candidate.
There can be no backward step.

Fact VS.. Fiction.

from the Bunalo Express. nff nItIo
A good story is spoiled by recent de-
yelopments in st. Louis. 1t will be re-
membered that story went through the
newspapers last summer that Nilsson
lost several valuable diamonds from a
car window while travelling from Mem
phis TO st. Louis, and that reward OF
five hundred dollars was offered for their
recovery, and that in August last Pat
rick Flynn's calf unearthed them in
front of Flynn cabin, near DeSoto, on
the Iron Mountain railroad. Nilsson
was notified that her diamonds were
found, and it was said that she sent the
finder FIVE hundred dollars, in accord
ance with the reward offered, and the
diamonds were reported to have been
forwarded to the owner.
II now turns out not only that the dia-
monds were less valuable than reported,
but that no reward was paid, and their
delivery was not made at that time.
During Miss Nilsson's recent visit to
st. Louis. Flynn came to the city and
called ais the Southern hotel to see her,
and while lling his story in the hotel
Office, he was arrested, taken to the po-
lice station, and as he alleges, required
to give up the diamonds Flynn, feeling
that he had been forced to yield posses
sion of the jewels in an unjust manner,
and that his chances for procuring the
reward were slight, put the case in the
hands of a lawyer, who had an inter
view with Mr.. Jarrett, Nilsson's agent,
and the matter was settled by paying
Flynn one hundred dollars. The dia-
monds were stated to be worth four thou
sand dollars, but now their value is esti-
mated at only about four hundred dol

us the other dayin our isanctum with a
How do you do, old fellow?"
Hello, Tom,h said we. "where have
you been so long?"
"Why, sir, I've been down on Severn
river, in Anne Arundel county. taking
Shanghai notes on the chills and fever. y
.Ah, indeed. said we. "are they yery
bad down there -, s,ef
Rather had" said Tom ,drvlv
There Is one place where they have
been attempting to build brick house
for eight weeks; we'll, the other day as
the hands were putting up the bricks
preparatory to finishing it, they were
taken with q, chill and shook the whole
building Completely down, and kept on
shaking till the brioks were dust of the
finest quality. Just at that juncture,
the chills came on with renewed force,
and they commenced shaking with such
gnsto, that they were entirely obscured
for hours, and the people Of the neigh
borhood thought the sun in an eclipse"

why, / was sixteen miles further
down the river the other day, and saw
four men carrying big pine log from on
board schooner to the shore. The
ehills come On, and they shook the log
which was thirty feet long, all up in
pieces of the proper length for frewood,
and then taking reshake Of It, split and
piled it up, at the same time shaking all
the knots out of it.
Can't believe anything like that,
Tom"
Its a fact, p said Tom, aud he re-
sumed-"t there's a farmer down there
who, in the apple picking season, hauls
his niggers out to the orchard, and sets
one up against each tree. In short
time the chill comes on. and every ap-
pie in the orchard is shaken off the trees
to the ground.

sides with our hands.
