TERRORIZED SOUTH CAROLINA.
PICTURE OF "PoLITICAL MEETING -
WHICH WADE HAMILToN's OUTLAWS
ATTENDED.

Governor Chamberlain, in his recent let
ter describing the condition of the State,
says, concerning a meeting held at Edge
field:
| went, on the 10Th of August, to ad-
dress a Republican meeting at Edgefield
Court House. This meeting had been call
ed by the Chairman of the Republican
party of that county, at my instance, and
as rumors had repeatedly reached me that
the meeting was to be in some way inter-
rupted by the Democrats, invited one or
two Republican speakers to accompany me.
Hon. Robert Smals, member of Congress
from that district, also accompanied me.
We reached the court house at 8 o'clock in
the forenoon. Almost Immediately upon
my arrival found the town rapidly filling
with mounted white men, who sgualized
their arrival in town by riding rapidly
through the streets and uttering almost
continuously the shout or cry, which you
must pardon me for describing by its famil-
lar name, as the "rebel yell "a sound to
which we were well accustomed in Virginia
of mounted white men numbered, Judged,
five or six hundred at least. Command of
these men was apparently formally assum-
ed at the public square by Gen. NJ. c. But
Ter and Gen. NJ. W. Gary, and they pro-
ceeded to the grove where a stand had been
erected by the Republican committee for
the speakers. | should mention that about
10 o'clock several white gentlemen had
called at my hotel and asked that Demo-
cratic speakers should be heard at our
meeting. | answered that we had several
Republican speakers present who would
require the whole day if they all spoke,
but suggested that these gentlemen should
see the Republican county chairman, and
stated that would personally consent to
any arrangement they might make with
him. The chairman being engaged in pre-

THE bill to pave Pennsylvania avenue
hangs fire between the two Houses. 1t
has passed the Senate, and only needs the
action of the House and the Executive ap-
proFal to make it law. Why does the
House hesitate? 1t provides for an unob-
jectionable commission, whose duty it
shall be TO select the kind of pavement to
he used, and sufficient safeguards to pro-
tect the Government against loss or fraud.
The time is not far distant when the ma
lions of the earth will visit the Capital Of
the United States, and the opinions then to
be formed of the progress and spirit Of our
institutions will be influenced to great
est national thoroughfare, {. e., the princi-
pal thoroughfare over which the National
Government has complete jurisdiction.
There is no reason to believe that the CON-
mission contemplated by the bill will
adopt an expensive or extravagant pave
ment. Good concrete or substantial as
phalt will answer every purpose. The
talk about the Neufchatel pavement, which
costs exorbitantly, is simple nonsense. In
wet or icy weather it is slippery and
dangerous, both to man and beast as well
as to vehicles. Past experience shows that
drivers avoid 1 street, on which this pave
ment is laid, during the kind of weather to
which we allude. By all means let the
bill pass in some form without delay, so
that We may be rescued from our present
DISGRACE and he h1acrad with n chpan and

The brilliant victories achieved by Presi-
dent Grant over the serried ranks of trea-
son at Donaldson, Vicksburg and Rich
mond are scarcely calculated to more
endear him to his grateful countrymen
than the effective snub administered by
him to the ex-Confederate House in his
recent message. 1t is said that contempt
will even pierce the shell of the tortoise,
and the Springers, Hills, fuckers and
Lsnsrs surely possess sense enough TO
discover that the President intended fully
what he has inimitably performed. 1t is
only surprising that the President should
have taken the pains he seems to have
done in dealing with these political block
heads and charlatans. Nor were the char
acters above referred to the only ones
who needed q wholesome lesson relative to
attending to their own business. The
Detective Press will find in that unique
message full and complete refutation of
the base ISLANDERS which they have been
circulating in their vile columns for years
Loyalists everywhere owe the President
an additional debt of gratitude for the
splendid service he has rendered in thus
rebukiDg these impudent disloyalists and
doughfaces.

AT TEE last meeting Of the directors of
the Texas and Pacific railway it was de-
cided to complete and open one hundred
and eleven miles of the road; first from
TeIsrk ua to Paris, upwards of eighty
miles, and second, between Dallas and Fort
Worth, upwards of twenty miles. This
will employ some two thousand laborers,
and makes continuous line of about 500
miles from Eastern connections to Fort
Worth. The company is now in the market
for 12, 900 tons of railway-iron, to lay down
upon these sections of the road. The work
is to be completed in ninety days.
