We have inquired among promi-

Wen wager a cigar that it is a radi-

also inform the Ledger that the De

The white radicals of this State are
showing their love for the negro in a
very significant manner. They are
particularly and unanimously opposed
to Yardly, colored, for Governor, and
call him a disorganizer, although they
have no nominee for that Office. And
to show their greater love for the
black man, their papers and leaders
are supporting Gen. Nancy, one of
the bitterest secessionists of the late
war, for Governor. We ask the ne,
groes here, can you longer vote with
a party which makes tools of you in
as shameless 4 manner as this? Vote
for Porter if you can ; if not, vote for
Yardly, one of your own race.

he claims to have always been a

be high tax man all the time he
was in the Legislature.

CHARLESTowN, S. c., Sept. IA
serious riot occurred late last night
between colored Republicans on one
side, and colored Democrats and white
men on the other. Pistols were free
ly used on both sides. The rioters
held King street, the main thorough
fare, from midnight until sunrise,
breaking windows, robbing stores and
attacking and beating indiscriminate,
ly every white man who showed his
face. a large number of persons
were injured. Several of those shot
are in a critical condition. Intense
excitement rreyaiIs.
The riotous proceeding of the Rice
field strikers on tAe Combahee has
been renewed and the situation is re,
garded as serious.
The trouble was caused by gang
of colored rowdies, calling them-
selves Republicans, attempting
to abuse colorc! men who affiliate
with the Democrats. The police
finally succeeded in dispensing the
rioters. The whites have been arm
ing, and by noon it was impossible to
purchase a revolver in the city, the
stock being completely exhausted.
The colored Democrats held meet
ing to>n;ght, guarded by 1 GOO armed
whites, and no one attempted to
make q disturbance.
AT this hour, 1880 P. NJ, there has
been no serious collision, thougharmed
crowds Of blacks and whites are gath
cred at various points and continue
in very excited condition. Buck
ner, one of the whites wounded last
night, died this afternoon.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
New YORK, Sept. Z.
THE NEW YORK GovERNoRsHtP.

THE NEW YORK GovERNoRsHtP.
Every day brings further indica>
tons that, in rendering to Horatio
Seymour the nomination for Govern
or, the Saratoga Convention did the
wisest thing that it could have done.
Gov. Seymour was the man to whom
all eyes voluntarily turned as the
leader of the allied forces in this strug-
gle. 1t is to be regretted that his
health will not permit him to under
take the duties of the command, but
the way in which the leaders have
shown their power to guage the pub
lie sentiment, and their readiness to
Weld at once to that feeling, has done
an immense amount of good. Gov.
Seymour has also, even in declining,
done us a great service. His letter
puts the issue for which we are fight
ing SO plainly before the people, that
none can fail to understand. Hun
dreds come into our ranks continually,
solely as the effect of this transaction.
1t is very clear to see, from the result
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1876-09-14
VERMONT

on Tuesday, that the sentiment of dis
content which has been aroused
against the discreditable record of
Grant and his Administration, is very
widespread, and is rolling on with an
immensely of strength. The Green
Mountain boys were considered to be
so firmly intrenched in their rugged
Businesses, and so well defended by
Republican barbados, that the enemy
could make no impression. There
was no mistake about the bitterness
with which the fight was to be waged.
Everything that skill and energy
could do was done, and it is doubtful
whether any campaign has ever been
conducted with greater enthusiasm.
The result cannot but be satisfactory
to those who are striving to curtail the
evil opportunities of the presentrulers
of the nation. The Republican ma
jority is considerably smaller than had
been expected, while the same percent
age of Democratic gain in other States
will give the Democracy almost
every State in the Union. 1t the
Vermont election may be regarded as
an indication of popular sentiment
throughout the country, the election
of Tilden and Hendricks by over
whelming majorities is assured. Also,

editor of the Maryville Republican,

BIRDS.

Each department loses several nils
lion annually through insects. Birds
are the only enemies able to contend
against them VIGOROUSLY. They are
great caterpillar killers and agricul-
tural assistants. Children, don't DIS
t,rb their nests.
Children will be paid % confines
for every 800 May bugs placed in The
hands of the garde champetre.
Would it not be a good idea for all
cur children, both grown and undcr>
grown, to stick up this notice in their
memories, and let it influence th,ir
action? And it would not be out of
place for oranges and other agricul-
tnral societies to consider and enforce
the observance Of such valuable policy
for farming interests. This shows the
necessity for proper legislation to pro
tect the agriculturisL's interests
against the Wholesale killing of birds,
that has been gong on for years. Ev-
erything that will aid in destroying
noxious insects should be fostered and
protected as an aid to the great I'M
DERIVING interest of farming. Kill
nor destroy anything that helps to
make way with the greatly increasing
army of insect pests.-RudL San.

comes the sound of victory. 1t was
expected that this State would give a
Democratic majority, but the returns
which we have received show that
the triumph has been much more
complete than the most sanguine had
anticipated. In both these States a
full vote has been cast, and it must
be said that the results are very en-
couraging to us and dispiriting to our
opponents. And such are the pros
poets all over the country. Even
from the
