THE HAMBURG AFFRAY.

The unfortunate collision between the
whites and blacks at Hamburg has
evoked a wide comment from the news
papers throughout the country, and af-
forded an opportunity for the gravest
charges against the white people of the
South. Of course, this occurrence will
be improved to the utmost extent by the
Radicals, whose party has so persistently
and successfully waved the "bloody
shirt" in former campaigns, and it is not
likely that they will forego any partisan
advantage which may accrue to them,
especially when they are needing politi-
cal capital to prevent an overwhelming
defeat before the people. The masses of
the Southern whites do not and cannot
uphold the perpetrators of murderous
deeds, and they are incapable of making
apologies for cruelty and butchery wher-
ever practiced, but they are entitled to
fairness and justice from every quarter,
and will patiently bide the time when
the American people, without regard to
party affiliations, will look upon colli-
sions between the races in the proper
light, and not connect these outbreaks
with reasons of political nature.
The tragic affair at Hamburg had its
origin in the presence of an armed negro
militia, whose insolent bearing towards a
couple of white men provoked the diff
Guilty. The refusal of this defiant mob
to yield obedience to the civil authori-
ties was the next feature in the t. 9uble,
which was supplemented by threats
against the peace and good order of
society. These are the primary causes
of the bloody result, and afix the re-
sponsibility of its origin upon the Off
cials of the State government, under
whose orders this militia was lately re-
cruited. The locality was favorable to
bringing together large number of
white men, citizens of South Carolina
and Georgia, who were witnesses of the
defiant and threatening attitude of the
negroes. These citizens demanded a
a surrender of the arms in the hands of
the militia, which exaction was without
the authority of law, and an attack was
made to enforce a compliance with this
demand. Both sides were then clearly
beyond the restraints of legal authority,
and were attempting to secure the mas
terry. In the fight which cnsued, the
whites were victorious, and captured a
number of prisoners. Subsequently, a
number of these prisoners were cruelty
and brutally murdered by those in
charge, and we join in the universal
condemnation of this act. These are
the facts of the difficulty, as VIC under
stand them.
We cannot perceive the justice and
propriety which seeks to attach all blame
to the whites in this affair. The negroes
were the aggressors in the first instance,
and placed themselves without the pro-
lection of the law when they refused
obedience to the civil magistrate. 1t
was natural and inevitable that such
defiance would provoke collision with
the assembled whites, and it cannot be
expected that an infuriated mob in any
community will be permitted to assert its
disregard of legal authority, without
meeting resistance from any quarter
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1876-07-20

Such resistance necessarily brings the
actors on the other side into similar
position, when the civil authorities are
incompetent, unreliable and inadequate
for the emergency, as matters stood at
Hamburg. Prince Rivers was notorious
ly inefficient as a civil magistrate, and
upon his conduct a large part of the
blame attaches. Yet, he was permitted
to summon the jury of inquest, examine
the witnesses, and make up the verdict,
upon which the State authorities are
willing to go before the country, and
stigmatize the white citizens of South
Carolina as lawless desperadoes, by call
ing for troops to suppress disorder and
preserve the public peace.

Neaus and Courier has very ably shown
how culpable he is for the State debt in
articles published two years ago. Upon
the subject of the conversion bonds, this
paper, in an article of October 19, 1874,
says:
1t is true that it was made the duty of
the Treasurer to issue Conversion bondsin
exchange for State stock surrendered to
him. But the Conversion bonds were
worthless, unless sealed by the Secretary
of State. The Secretary of State, in those
days, was Mr.. Cardozo, the present Treas
urer, who nominated Mr.. Chamberlain
for Governor in the State Convention.
Mr.. Cardozo was confident that bonds
were sent to him to be sealed, as Conver-
sion bonds, which did not represent any
stock or bonds surrendered for CONVEX
sion. Very properly he refused to seal
any more bonds, and appealed to the At
torney General (Mr. Chamberlain for
advice. Mr.. Chamberlain told him that
it was none of his business to know what
the conversion bonds were for, and that it
was his duty to seal all the bonds that
were sent to him, and they were sealed,
and the swindle was accomplished.
There is one more point. When, under
Mr.. Chamberlain's orders, the Bogus Con-
version bonds had been sealed by Cardozo
having already been signed by Scott and
Treasurer Parker, they could only be
made use of by hypothecation or sale
and the only persons in the State who
had authority to sell or hypothecate any
bonds in possession of the State were the
Financial Board, viz: Messrs. Scott
Parker and Chamberlain.
jam saws! We have shown that the
Conversion bonds could not have beer
put in negotiable shape had not Mr.
Chamberlain instructed Cardozo to sea
them, and that they could be pawned OF
sold, when put in shape, only by three
officers, of whom Chamberlain was one
These facts put the Governor in an un
enviable position. he acted properly
in creating this debt he is acting improp
erly now, and if he is acting properly il
upholding the consolidation act now, hi
has acted improperly before. Hence
his action on this matter is not creditabl'
to him. Neither is the Neacs and C0urie
very consistent in its laudation of him a
this time. We shall next week take VI
the veto power, and follow our contem
porary through his eighteen grounds TO
sustaining Governor Chamberlain.

the crank and file." Now, we venture
to assert that two-thirds of the white
voters in this State strongly favor the
nomination of a discreet and honest
Democrat for the Office of Governor, and
they are to be included among those who
will interpret such a nomination as the
signal for "fraud and force, intimidation
and slaughter" Is this the true mean
ing of the Mews and Courier? Will that
journal pretend that the mere advocacy
of certain policy endows man with
brutal instincts, and impels him to the
commission of heinous crimes against
the laws of his country? Are all men
to be Judged by this standard, when diff
feringwith the MeWs and Courier9
We would remind the advocates of
cooperation that impugning motives is
dangerous weapon for them to handle,
and that it is just as easy for the
''straight-out" Democrats to accuse them
of being in league with Gov. Chamber
lain to carry the State by "fraud and
force" Is not the Governor at the head
of the militia, which is armed with the
most approved weapons? lii the absence
of this armed militia at Hamburg, is
there the remotest probability hat a col
lision between the whites and blacks
would have occurred? According to the
official report of the Attorney-General,
the militia company under Doc Adams
has been q mere skeleton until two
months ago, when it was recruited to
eighty men, and by whose order and
under whose direction? From the ear
liest days of the negro militia until the
present time, tbe Governor has been
deemed responsible for any outrages and
excesses committed by them, for it is
necessary to gain his consent before arms
can be distributed or kept among the
militia. Then, if the logic of the Nea0'
and Courier prevails, Gov. Chamberlain
contemplates overawing and intimidating
the white people of South Carolina by
the presence of armed and excitable ne
groes, with the view of insuring his re-
election, and the advocates of co-opera'
