them to the bench In two of tho moaN
important Ohio circuits, Cincinnati
and Cleveland, for instance. How
would you fcol about i'll
This man Moses is tho worst of the
Iot' lie is q moro corrupt man than
" hlppcr, the negro who has been
elected Judge of the Charleston Cir<
cut, tho most important in the State.
Wh'ppcr is an ignorant negro, and it
is doubtful if hc ever read law book.
| Dut he ls not stepped in iniauity like
Moses, who is known over the country
as the robbcr Governor. Ho is noto.4
riously corrupt, and besides being in
no wise qualified for the position of
Judge. With Moses and Whipper or
the bench, tho South Carolina Courts
VIII degenerate into bargain and sale
shops. The scales of Justice will in4
cline to the side of tho highest bidder.
These judges wcro elected by tho
Legislature in the absence of Govern.
or Chamberlain. Had the Governor
been at the capital he might possibly
have defeated it, as he still has some
little influence with the skillet heads
OF the Legislature
WHAT WILL BE THE RESULT?
Tho whites arc aroused, the color
line is drawn, and before long YOU
will hear of "grcat Democratic vic4
tory in South Carolina like unto that
in Mississippi.
Tho Governor has refused to sign
the commissions Of Moses and Whips
per upon merely tochical grounds
something that he would not have
thought Of doing, rs he says himeelf,
had these judges elect been decent
mon. But how he is to carry out his
point fail to sec. There seems nc
escape from Moses and Whipper on
the bench but the complete overthrow
OF tho SO called party which elected
them. And that is what is coming. t
say to the reader, and hope he Wilt
remember it hereafter, look out for
Democratic gains in South Carolinaf
For long time the whites have wan :
ted sufficient excuse to rise up and
overthrow the African government
under which tboy live, and now thcy
havo it. Not white Republican in
the State, from tho Governor down,
nor Republican journal, protonds to-
justify the election of these notorious
men TO tho bench.
Governor Chamberlain has tried to-
make tho Legislature behave itself-s
often going into caucus and talking
to them with tears in his cyea, but to
little purposc-aIthongh Chamberlain
was elected AS an tra-Rcpubhcan--.
defeating the Liberal Republican,
whom tho Democrats supported --hS
cant control the African Legislature.
The campaign in South Carolina
next year will bc very bitter, if not
bloody: The whites will now draw
the "color linc," and at tho samo time
throw all tho blame upon the blacks.
We know what tho color line means.
If any there arc who don't compre-.
hond the term, they can havo light by
spending fcw days in Mississippi.

Nesbitt was the next speaker. This
new champion of Whipper, it will be
remembered, was elected on the In.
dependent Republican ticket, and
placed in public position by the white
votes of the county. Up to this time
he has generally run with the decent
members of his delegation, and it was
somewhat a surprise to see him nun
bering himself with the renegadcs.
who now are, Mclaughlin, Davis,
Pinckney, and finally Nesbitt. This
speaker talked a good deal, and en-
deavored to tell lis hearers that the
time had come for action. The Le-
gislature had elected w. j. Whipper
Judge of the first Circuit; it was the
duty of every colored man to SEQ that
he took his seat. He voted against
Whippcr, because he thought it was
his duty to do so lie had found
since that he had been wrong,
and was now as ardent a supporter
of Whippcr as lie was then opposed
to him. 1t was the duty of every
honest citizen to support him, be-
cause
TIE LINE OF COLOR
had been drawn. 1t has come down
simply to a pcrscction of Whippcr on
account of his color. What arc we
to do! The Iegislaturcd must be
sustained and Whippcr must take his
seat. Now how are we TO do this?
LPinckney here cricl ont: eight,
that's lho way well DO it," But this
was no: rcl6hcd by tie crowd, who
yelled ont in concert "Nv! No! don't
lets fight" The old maumas shook
their heads knowingly, and sagcly
remarked to each other, 81 tell you,
my sister, these are troublesome
tines"
Primus Green here asked Nesbitt
why he had voted against Whipper.
Ne, bitt hesituci for 6oinu ii;:lc ;;nc,
and cndeavrred 10 get out of it by
starting off on new tack; but Pri.
mus pushed his question, and after
some little c'hterence with his friends
on the stand, Ncsbitt gave as his
reason for voting against Whipper,
that he thought Whipper was a par
tisan. This answer delighted the
crowd on the stand, who seemed to
consider it a complete quietus. Green
wanted to know why he didn't think
Whihpcr would be a partisan now.
This question, however, was not ans
wered, and Green satisfied himself
with asking Nesbtt how much he
had been paid for turning renegade.
w. Ii. Thompson was the last
speaker, and by this time it was
nearly dark. Thompson said that
they proposed to offer resolutions
countermanding the resolutions pass
ed by the Broad Street Clique, at the
llibcrnian Hall, which sustained
Chamberlain. They proposed to
sustain the action of the Legislature,
and repudiatc Chamberlain.
The secretary, A. L. Stevens, then
read the following resolution, which
was adopted:
Resolved, That we solemnly pledge
ourselves, without regard to consc-
quences, to support and maintain the
laws OF the State and tho United
States, to uphold and support the
action of the Legislature and the
Courts, and to this end we pledge

Whereas, the Legislature has clcc-
ted w. >. Whiprcr and f. S. Moses,

action of the Legislature in this mat,

2 That the people Of Sumptcr

regarded as being devoid Of the nee
essary legal attainment, and who is
also notoriously corrupt.
3 That we regard the action of

than to start ku-Kluxism again.
They will drive the negroes from the
polls and kill every one, if necessary,
to carry the next election. Broad
street is supporting the Ku-Klux
business, as she did before. 1t means
our total annihiation or the next
election for the Democrats. But don't

The requisite amount Ct applause
of tlis ell rt was made up by the
vigorous rapping and stamping of the
crowd on the stand, and the next
speaker was "Red-IIoL" Jones, Sen.
atol from Georgetown. Jones said
that lo was very sorry that be had
not bad the line to prepare an eia
