A serious riot occurred ut

and the meeting went on smoothly

that the negroes began tho difficulty.

The Republicans show ull these at
tributes in the assistance and countc
nance given to Packard, Chamber
lain and other dcmagogucs of the
same stamp.
Chamberlain, in his wordv letter
to Col. Haskell, said that he had
heard tho clicking Of pistols at the
Abhevlllc meeting on Big Tuesday"
-whcn the Democrats insisted upon
IN equitable division of time. It is
now stated, upon unqucstionablc
authority. that what the nervous
Governor did hear, was only tho
spr'nging of the valves upon tho
instruments of the brass band!
Livery act Of Chamberlain and Lis
crew bhowsa degree of desperation
which is but the natural result of tho
progress now being made by the
united Democracy. They SEQ that
without some extreme measures and
high degree of good luck, their
doom is sealed. Hence their high.
handed donSs and hence their con
stant cndeayors to bring on Il dis
t'ubancc that vii. afford prctcxt
for martial law. Their game is Il
desperate one. But they will lose.
Already are their chances poor in
decd, and defeat is certain on the
seventh day of November.
Chamberlain has made formal
application to the President for
troops to suppress "dom"stic vio-
lence' in this State, which, ho al-
Ieges, the civil authority is power
less to quo'l. The application was
to be considered by tho President
and his Cabinet on Tuesday last.
Chamberlain is now showing his
whole hand, His statement that
domestic violence exists in the
State, and that tho civil power is
resisted, is utterly and wilfully false.
His game is n desperate one, but
ho cannot win. He will never again
govern the State Of South Carolina.
Mark the prediction!

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch of the Sd
inst, we clip the following.
DTTrTopTtpnujo nDE1T oyOIU


In less than two weeks ourgreat Expo
sition opens, and there is every reason to
believe that it will be one of the most
sussessiul events in the history of the
city, With the experience of last year to
warn ofmistakes and show wherein inn
provements can be made, everything
this season has worked smoothly and
expeditiously, aud everything this year
tends to show that the Exposition will
in every way be superior to that Of last.
We learn that arrangements have been
made with the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company by which their travel from the
west to the Centennial will have an OPP
portunity TO remain over from morning
until evening thus giving them an OPP
pertunity, of which they will certainly
avail themselves, to see our home Expo
sition, and this will also enable our eX-
hib'ors to place their goods before the
ped of the South and West who will
be passing through the city-an opportu-
nifty which but for the Centennial. they
would not enjoy The fear that has fire.
quently been expressed, that the Cen
tennial would attract our people away, to
the detriment of our own Exposition is
certainly foolish one. The class who are
visiting and who will visit Philadelphia
is to a very great extent made up Of those
who, even were there no national Expo
sition, would leave the city at this season
for the sommer resorts, and no fears are
entertained by the management that this
will operate against them. Great i'm
provement will be made in many Of the
special departments this pear. Especial
ly will this be the case in the Art and
Florists department. Mr., Clarence
Johns, the we'll known Pittsburgh artist,
will start this week for Philadelphia. for
the purpose of making arrangements for
the loan of quite anumber of very excel.
lent paintings by artists of repute from
the private collections Of Philadelph
and in this connection we learn that
Governor Hartranft has kindly promised
to loan the managers either Rothermel's
"Battle of Gettysburg" or the one of the
same subject by Weldroth. The latter
though not so large, has been more fa-
vorably noticed by connoisseurs, In
conclusion we would say to those who
want space, that they should lose no time
in filing their applications, as it is al
ready a matter Of competition and is dai-
ly growing more so.

The young man, probably thirty years of age
was at the depot anxiously awaiting the coming
of the train that would start him on his way to
Philadelphia; his anxious mother was there with
him, and as the train halted, she attended him to-

while she made him sweat with the following ad-
vice.
"Now John, do be careful; if you have to
change cars any where, be sure you git on the
right track, and remember, john if any nice

was standing in the main hall, awaiting the re-
