day of October, A. D. 1875, was at the
Brick Church, st. Thomas and St. Den
mis-; it was before the arrival of the
Democrats G. G. Bowen had arrived in
advance of them. The negroes had al.
most all arrived, and were mostly armed
with muskets. / heard the negroes say !:
IF Delaney speaks we'll have row and
take him down. G. G. Bowen said dis
tinctly in my hearing: Conceal your
muskets.' They (the negroes) at once
did so until the row begun, when they
jerked them out and began firing on the
whites, who were mostly unarmed, and
those who were armed only with pocket
pistols. saw the row begin. The ne.
groes suddenly ran for their arms and
began charging the whites with muskets
at full cock before shot war fired. And
1 solemnly state that it is my firm belief
that they fred first. was in position
to see the contrary had it occurred, and
am sure the negroes fired first; but
even were I wrong, no white man fired
until the negroes were advancing on
them with muskets presented as 'afore-
said" .
When the reporter left Cainhoy last
night, the white citizens who had left for
Cainhoy on Monday night had returned
to the city, having been relieved by a
body of about seyenty-6ve gentlemen
from the city, who remained there all
night to guard the women and children.
DR.. Horlbeck remained at the village ;
DR.. Simons returned to the city. Up to
the hour of the departure of the steamer,
no negroes were seen in the neighbor-
hood. It was supposed that they had all
collected at Daniels Island, some ten
miles from the village, where they were
under arms.

Is II South Carolina or Mexico 2 /,

Arbitrary illegal arrests by federal SOL
diers, under the orders of federal deputy
marshals have begun in South Corolina.
Governor Chamberlain, candidate for re-.
election, opposed not only by the Demo
Gratis but by considerable and increas-
ing faction in his own party, fears that
he will be beaten. Accordingly he ap-
peals TO the federal administration for
the loan of soldiers to help him to intim-
;date the recalcitrant voters Having
arranged board of State canvassers OF
election and returning board, the ma
iority of whose members are candidates
on the same ticket with him, and are
thus by q monstrous perversion ofjustice
entitled to decide the vote in their own
favor; having further managed that OF
the ninety-six commissioners Of -elec.
ton in the counties seventy should be
his declared partisans and forty office
holders who hold their places by his ap-
pointment; having thus prearranged the
count in his own favor, Mr.. Chamberlain
now summons federal troops and federal
marshals to arrest citizens known to be
opposed to him in politics. And all this
in the United States, and under: the
auspices of party which once called 1T
self the pre.eminent friends of liberty,
and some of whose leading members held
the Fugitive Slave law to be unconstitu-
tional because it interfered with the
rights of the, States. az.
Mr.. Charles, Francis Adams, in a re-
Gently published letter, warned the peo-
Die against the revolutionary tendencies
M the Republican leaders. Was he far
wrong? a. multitude of respectable. citi-
zens, among all the Republican members
of the Supreme Bench of the State, assert
publicly that there is no trouble, no .po-
litical violence or lawlessness in South
Carolina. The citizens who have been
arrested have submitted quietly, i The
Governor himself has made no pretence
even of an effort to subdue lawlessness ;
he has done nothing but issue q violent
and incendiary proclamation and sent for
federal troops, like his prototype, Perrin;
in Alabama, who shot hole through his
own hat and then called for the soldiers.
Does the Republican party Of the North
consent to such revolutionary acts as
this? Is this a, sample Of what. itgpro,
poses to do if it is continued in Powerfof
another four years? If so,. then the
safest, the only safe course for Northern
voters, is to turn it out. There can be
mo doubt On, that subject, This is not
IMexxitco,;;''' bpultt," these acts of Governor
Chamberlain this misuse Of federal troops
and federal power, would, if continued
four years longer, set. US a long way to.
ward Mexico. If its granted that the
POLITICAL party which happens to posses osss etl
tHe federal government may march, its
soldiers into the States for political plr;
poses. then we have paved the way broad;
iy for general and civil disorder. Ifthese
proceedings ,ss in South Carolina are not l!,
promptly disowned by the Republican
candidate every Northern citizen who ,o
has a stake in the country. ought to vote
against him.--Neau York Herald. &.

oun in his hand, and, moment later,
they raised the guns, took aim and fired
directly into the crowd. The Democrats
were then completely surrounded and
eniladed on every side, and general
rush for the boat followed. The firing
ceased long enough for the negroes to
load, and they then poured another vol
ley into the crowd. The firing appeared!
to be promiscuous. The white men had
no guns, and did not see single white
man fire a shot. / heard two or three
pistol shots, but don't know who fired
them. In retiring with the crowd from
the stand with my son, A. G. Bennett,
and Just as we ascended little bank,
two negroes came out of the bushes on
the top of a little hill and took deliberate
aim at myself and son and fired. I was
wounded in the instep of the left foot
with small ball, apparently q buck or a
large duck shot. Ny son was shot In
seven places, two shots entering the hip,
two in the calf of the leg and three In the
foot. ..'2
The negroes were armed with muskets,
and some ten or fifteen were picked up
in the road where they had been dropped.
The party reached the boat as best they
could, and the negroes held undisputed
possession of the field. No attempt was
made to 60 back for the missing, as it
was as much as our lives were worth. l
do not know the names of the killed or
wounded except from hearsay; and other
particulars of the difficulty / have also
only by hearsay. I conscientiously be-
lieve that the whole thing scas a preconcert-
ed plan, by whom I cannot say, to take
advantage of the slightest pretext and fire
upon the unarmed crowd; for the mo-
ment the disturbances started, thenegroes
rushed to the bushes in every direction
and begun promiscuous firing.
J. r. Jenkins, the well-known colored
Democrat who was at the meeting at
Cainhoy yesterday, said, in addressing
the Fourth Ward Colored Democratic
