to secure his vote and influence for the
purpose of obtaining the repeal of the
charter of certain ferry, the interests
of which we're opposed. to those of his
own on account of its proximity. Names
and dates were given, with other corrob-
Grating circumstances unnecessary to be
repeated here. This expose created a
marked sensation in the crowd, which
Whipper desired to counteract, and de-
mapdcd then and there the right to reply.
This was refused, whereupon he declared
he would be heard, and attempted to In
terrupt the. speaker by harranguing the
crowd in his immediate neighborhood.
A scene of indescribable confusion re-
suited, the throng being swayed to and fro
in its excited mood and cries and shouts
of various purport rending the air on all
sides. The excitement ran so high that
the Democratic speaker called upon the
Chief of Police and United States officers
present to preserve order, declaring
emphatically that if they did not the
whites who. had called the meeting would
do so for themselves. This threat, and
the fact that FIVE or six drunken negroes
who had been particularly boisterous
were Immediately arrested by the colored
policemen and hurried off to the guard
house, had some effect in quieting the
disturbance, and the speaker attempted
to proceed in his reply to Whipper's
argument.
THE DEVIL OF DISORDER
was up, however, and could not be laid,
aud for the next hour and half the
meeting was characterized by Intellectual
attempts to be heard and preserve order
on the one side and by whoops and yells
of interruption and irrelevant inquiry on
the other. Mr.. Janney finally gave up
the contest, and Adjutant General Purvis
(colored) was called upon by the negroes
to take his place.
At this point the Chief of Police inter-
fered, and, appearing on the stand, an
nounced that as he had found it impossi-
BILE to preserve order, aud as many of the
crowd were already drunk or fast becona-
ing SO, and as the numerous arrests
already made seemed to have little or no
effect in deterring others from creating
a disturbance, he felt it his duty to &C.
cede to arequest just made by several
peaceable citizens, and order the meeting
10 disperse. This was at midnight, and
the curtain fell upon the only scene
which has come under my observation of
disorderly public meeting in South
Carolina. Your readers are left to judge
who exercised most forbearance and who
were the disturbers of the peace. The
meeting was called by Democrats for the
purpose of hearing a Republican judge,
and was broken up by negro rioters.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. 1S, 1876.
Of all the public meetings which have
been held in this State during the pres
ent political campaign, no other has per-
baps excited so much interest, or was so
full of significance, as that which took
place in Columbia last night. When l
state that the notorious W. J. Whipper
(the corrupt negro politician who was
elected Judge of the most important cir
cult in the Stale at the same time with
the not less notorious F. J. Moses, Jr.,
and whose joint election has perhaps
caused more excitement here and more
attention abroad than all the other doubt
ful experiments ofhis party in the State
Was present, and invited by the Demo
cratic Committee to divide time and
speak on the issues of the day as viewed
from his political standpoint, the full
import of the scene may be appreciated.
The meeting was an impromptu affair.
Judge e. j. Mackey, who had just re-
turned from q visit to New York, was
invited to deliver an address, and notice
had been given early in the day of his
intention to do SO. He failed to make
the necessary railroad connections, how
ever and did not arrive at the hour ap-
pointed. As q large crowd had assem-
bled in front. of the hotel for the purpose
of hearing him it was determined to in
yite other leading gentlemen to- take lis
place, and in accordance with this plan
Colonel J. G. Gibbs, D. Wyatt Aiken
democratic candidate for Congressman
from this district, and Colonel j. G.
Bacon delivered stirring addresses in be-
half of General Hampton. Despite the
usual and standing orders of their lead
ers to the contrary, large crowd of ne
groes had also assembled, and listened to
these speakers in quiet and without in
terruption. Passing over this part of the
proceedings as of no special interest /
come at once to the feature of theiocca
sion. The chairman of the meeting an
nounced on behalf of the Democrats that
they were willing, and even anxious, to
hear from the other side, and invited
them to put up any one they desired to
hear, assuring them of a respectful hear
ing so far as the whites were concerned.
WI. Whipper, who happened to be in
town attending the sitting of the Supreme
Court, which had the matter of his cleo
ton under consideration all day, was
present, and was at once loudly called
for by.his partisans, who were informed
that he desired to speak. No more OBJ.

CHICAGO, May 81 was overwhelmed with

Sun in your issue Of the 7th, concerning the
preparation of birds for ornaments. Can it be
that such cruelty is carried on in civilized
community, without exciting the indignation
Of the pcoplei thought I had witnessed
cruelty In its worst forms, in the
manner I have seen poor, feeble, half-staryed
horses beaten and bruised in our own city.

things that make them such delicious food have
passed in order to pander to their superb appe-

blessed songsters were treated so ficndishly to
add to the transient beauties OF our tolettes, to
humor the capricious whims OF Dame Fashion.
remember time in the past-the blessed
past, of my early childhood, when tender
old maple sugar bush played its mystic part,
with the echo OF the Woodman's AK mingling
with the Whispering and sishing OF the wind, as
it toyed and sported through the Quiyering tree
tiny birds Of beautiful plumage, their
wild songs echoing out through the mystic
woodland, now in drifts OF gladstone joy, again
in plaintiye accents Us if bewmling lost love.
Amid the whirr and music Of the larger warblcrs,
and the buzz of the beautiful plunlaged hum

were passed. And can it be those cherished
friends Of my youth, OF their like, are SO ruth
lessly murdered to hulnor the whims Of my sex?
