The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1876-10-19
South Carolina.

The wholly unauthorized interference OF
the Federal Government in the local affairs
OF South Carolina we do not believe will
end in what the villainous concocters OF
the scheme designed: conflict between the
Federal soldiers and the white citizens OF
the State. The. most that can be accom-
plished to the advantage OF the Radicals
may be the reelection OF CHAMBERLAIN and
the casting Of the vote OF the State for
HAYES; but we do not believe even that
will be accomplished. Multitudes OF
negroes, tired Of the vile uses made OF them
by the corrupt Radicals, and determined to
be made tools Of no longer, will at the ap-
,lroachins election vote with the southern
white people. We sincerely believe that
enough Of them will do this in South Caro-
lima to elect HAMPTON and give the State to
TILDEN. @1t.
We see by the Charleston Courier that
General RUGER, with two companies OF in.
fantry, entered Edge6eid, South Carolina,
on the 14th instant. They were accompa.

six deputy 1narshals under the command Of

without exciting any sensational demeanor
amongst thelwhites. The Radical leaders
addressed about thousand negroes.
: CHAXBERLAIN. was not on the ground. A
meeting of whites and negroes Of some two
thousand was addressed by Governor BoN-
HAM, Generals BUTLER and GARY, and Mr..
I TILMAN. Their.adYice was the best. They
counseiled the people to keep away from
Republican meetings, and to avoid the trap
which the Radicals had set for them. The
scheme on foot was understood, and the
white people, they said, did not intend to
afford any excuse whatever for the high
handed proceedings intended for effect at
the North. The speakers declared that the
fight in Edgefield was already won.
The soldiers were kept in backyard
ready tomoye when called; but they were
not called. The days doings were happily
concluded without any disturbance what
ever.
We sketch these occurrences to show that
our South Carolina friends have their own
resentiul feelings well in hand, notwith-
standing the grieyous provocation to which
they are subjected. Our friends OF the
I North. we feel, may relieve their minds of
apprehension as to South Carolina. They
have the Radical tyranny displayed in bold
relief. They seethat the corrupt party in
