SOLUI-AtA, CcsSUer ., kSfO.
Judge T. ]. Mackey, presiding Judge
OF the Sixth Circuit, which embraces the
counties in which lawlessness existed in
1870, ,arrised- in-this city to-day, and
interviewed him on the situation. He
bas been connected with the Republican
party since 1855, IS vice president of
the Grand Council of the Union League
of this State and vice president of the
National Association war Veterans. It
WAS at his instance that Confederate SOL
diers OF Lancaster County exhumed the
bodies Of deceased federal svldiefs in
February, 1874, receiving therefor the
thanFs Of Gen. Sherman and Gov. Noyes,
Of Ohio.
CHAMBEBLA1N's PROCLAMATION.
He says the proclamation of Governor
Chamberlain, of the 7.h inst, which yir-
tually declares the white population OF
this State in armed insurrection against
the laws, challenges the Indignation Of
every citizen in South Carolina who is
aware Of the real facts aud has any re-
gard for truth and justice. There have
been, no doubt, acts Of violence, resulting
in law of life in Aiken and Barnweli,
which demand that the severest penalties
of the !av should be enforced against
guilty parties.
WORK or REPU BLICAy MANAGERS.
But those acts are not Justly attrihuta-
BILE to any determined plan on the part
OF the whites, but were the result of
armed collisions, which, in my Judgment,
have been premeditated by the present
republican managers Of Gov. Chamber
lain's canvass. At least this is the case
to the extent that the passions Of the
blacks have been dcsigncdly aroused
against the whites in those sections to
the extent of melting them to assail
white citizens or TO refuse obedience TO
process Of the courts where the complain
ant is white and the offender colored.
The scheute has borne bloody fruits, and
doubtless acts Of personal vengeance were
inflicted by whites on blacks after an
actual conflict had ceased in retaliation.

GENERAL POLITICAL PLOT
that armed collisions with the blacko
should be forced on the whites, thus sup.
plying raw material out of which they
would manufacture the bloody shirt 10

true emblem Of the South Carolina De-
mocEacy, with the view to influence the
result of the elections pending in Ohio
and Indiana, and thereby the election of
Hayes and Wheeler, the candidates
which have supported throughout my
canvass in this State. To avert the exc.
cution Of this sanguinary scheme called
upon the chairman Of the Democratic
State Executive Committee, at Columbia,

ted, and which has eliminated in the
proclamation of the Governor to which
have referred. The negro appears, by
some fatality, to be the
MARTYR or THE AMERICAN SYSTEM,
and the balance of humanity certaialy
appears, so far as he Is concerned, to be
on the side Of those whites with whom he
has been associated from early life, and
who are disposed to view him, even in
his fiercest mood, more in sorrow than in
anger.
A distinguished writer upon the game
of whist has stated, "When' in doubt play
q trump" The carpet-bagger's code il.
"If the Northern interest in the campaign
flags have negro killed" And thus the
ardent and pushing blacks are thrown
perpetually by their leaders, like living
cannon balls. against the solid column Of
the whites, and the negro is invariably
broken by the impact. Indeed, the war
itself furnished an Illustration of the diff
ference between the vievB of Southern
snd Northern men in utilizing the negro.
The Southern white man advanced far to
the front to save the negro, while the
North sometimes sent the negro far TO the
front 70 save the white man. Governor
Chamberlain is thoroughly familiar with
the best mode of utilizing him in O rolit-
ical canvass, and understands how to serve
him up az first class horror.
THE REPUBLICAN, PROCESSION.
One of the most remarkable instances
of the mendacity Of the age is contained
in the statement Of the Republican State
Executive Committee, who charge. in
their recent address to the peote = the
United States. that the Demcc,~, in
Columbia and its vicinity are SO malevo-
lent that the Republicans cannot ratify
the nomination OF their national eandi-
dates BY a torchlight procession with safe
ty to their persons. The fact Is that on
the night appointed ljy the Republicans
