THE EscHaRLEsToN JUDGEsHIP.

% Governor Chamberlain has issued .
proclamation declaring Judge Reed to be
the lawful Judge of the First Circuit,
: and forewarning any and every person
from interfering or aiding and abetting
any one else to interfere with his Court,
and declaring that he will raise force
sufhcientIto sustain if any process of the
Court is obstructed: The proclamation
is ontspoken and manly. In it the Coy;
ernor does virtually what the IntslEgencer
urged he should do in an article some
weeks since. 1--WE take it that the Cow
errnors is sincere, and will execute his
threat. If SO, we commend him for it!
The trouble, however, is that Whipper
may secure judgment from the Courts
in his favor. 1t is a pity the contest
had not been brought on in Judge
Shaw's Circuit, SO that Chief Justice
Moses certainly could not have sat in
trial upon the cause. ALI is well, how
ever, that ends well, and we are not dis
posed to criticise, for the present, at
least.

Second Days Proceedings.

rs "2o COLUMBIA, August 16.
The Convention was called to order at
eleven o'clock this morning by President
Harllee. The committee on rules repor-
ted that they had compiled set Of rules
from those formerly in use in the House
of Representatives of this State, with the
addition of providing fol. the previous
question. The rules were read and adop-
ted.
Col. Cothran, of Abbeville, offered
resolution that the sense of this Conven-
tion be ascertained as to whether, in the
approaching campaign, the nominations
for State officers when made shall be of
straight-out Democrats, and that for that
purpose the Secretary call the roll and
the members vote when the names are
called.
Mr.. Barker, of Charleston, said that
the resolution as worded would place his
delegation and others, which were in
structed as to postponement, in the posi-
ton of voting against their instructions,
and suggested that the resolution be lin
tied to that question first.
Col. Rion, of Fairfield, desired the
sense of the Convention directly upon
the matter, and not in the eyasive man
ner in which the resolution, however in

CHAMBERLAIN AT ORANGEBURG.

A correspondent Of the Register, gives
the following account of the way in
which the Governor was cut short in his
0rangeburg speech: ,naj1cqua
tal His Excellency. at first refused to as
sign his reasons for Withholding the COM
missions of Whipper and Moses, but after
being pressed said that was no vacancies
existed lin those circuits to which these
men had been elected, he could not, un-
der lis oath of Office, recognize the action
of the Legislature ; that the election was
illegal, etc. At this juncture the negroes
became enraged and confusion broke
loose. "You are liar, sir; you won't
commission Whipper because he's mig
gerp "You're Democrat, you dirty
scoundrel n "Come off that stand, or
we'll pull you down !" were few Of the
expressions made use of by the negroes.
Chamberlain, seeing that the game was
up with him, slipped into a carriage
which he had arranged to have in close
proximity to the stand, and made haste
for the depot, where with his carpet-bag,
he took the 2 o'clock pm. train for Col
umbia. ;. While leaving the ground where
the speaking was going on, several ne
groes followed him, saying, 'Leave here,
and don't you ever put your foot in
Orangeburg again."
It has transpired, since that if Cham
berlain had remained here all day he
would have got into trouble. There is a
large number of leading Radicals here
who swear that if he is nominated they
will vote for Hampton. He was the
guest of DR.. Webster, of agricultural COL
lege fame, while here-a fact which of
itself embittered a crowd of scalawags
and negroes against him. . ~ y

AFFAIRS In ABBEYILLE.

5a The Republicans of Abbeville had a
public meeting on Tuesday last. We
learn that there were about $500 persons
present, white and colored. Coy, Cham
berlain was introduced by Col. Cothran,
who also followed in reply to:the Gov
eror. Other Republicans spoke, and
were replied to in every instance by
Democrats. The speeches were listened
to attentively;, and without interruption.
After the speaking, the crowd returned ,to
the village, and we learn that a disturb
ance ice occurred in which guns were fired,
the negroes stampeded, and left hurried

Information as to the whereabouts
of Frank Otis, native of Ireland, is
wanted by his brother, Michael Otis, at
Ninety-Six. s. c.. he is nearlysix feet
high, fair complexion, brown moustache,
broad-shouldered, and was peddling in
Cheraw when last heard from. Address
M. Otis, Ninety.Six. S. G.
Pittsburg Post: The frenzied appeals
now being made to the colored men of
Allegheny county to vote against the De-
mocracy are not without cause. We
have been informed by reliable parties,
and some Of them colored men, that
there are three or four times as many
colored men going to vote the Democratic
ticket this year as voted it last. They
are beginning to find out "the shams aud
illusions" of Radicalism.
It was no doubt very creditable feel
ing of solicitude for the welfare of our
Southern brethren, that caused our Presi-
dent to desire that the protection of the
military should not be withdrawn from
them, and that other soldiers should be
enrolled for service against the Indians.
The people at large, however, who have
to pay the. bills. would prefer that the
South was left a little more to look after
itself. They object to any unnecessary
increase Of their expenditures, and think
that by this, time their brethren, of the
warm and sunny lands ought to be able
to take care Of themselves. They desire
olive within their incomes. 90

New York Sun: Zach Chandler and
his National Committee complain with a
loud voice that merchants and bank
ers and brokers and retired rich men who
have hitherto been liberal in their sub
scriptions to the Republican party, do not
offer their large checks voluntarily, and
do not even answer the urgent appeals
made to their patriotism as they once did.
All is suddenly changed in this respect,
not only on account of the hard times,
but for other reasons, which will be made
known pretty clearly in November next.

the Republicans left Newberry whipped

the Republicans left Newberry whipped
out and disheartened. They have no
hopes whatever of carrying the State by
joint discussions. They should be met
:by Democratic speakers. on:aevery stump

the blaze. of truth which can be hurled
against them. This isthe plan to redeem
the State. Whenever they have meet
ings every white man in the county
should attend, if possible, and fearless
speakers should meet them.
The Columbia Register says thatL. G.
Carpenter, Grants appointee to the posi-:
ton of Internal Revenue Collector. when
he returned from Newberry, after the
castigation his party had received there,
met crowd ofnegroes in Columbia and
said to them, "Well, boys, the Democrats
are going to carry South Carolina this
year; but when they do, Columbia and
Charleston will be laid in ashes" To
this white man standing by responded,
"and you will be buried beneath those
ashes" Such speeches as these deserve
the most unqualified condemnation, and
any man. making them deserves an old
fashioned public lashing. We ought not
to have any such inAammatory remarks,
and if they produce trouble let our peo-
pile remember and execute Gen. Gary's
resolution, that we,will hold the white
leaders of the Republican party of this
State first responsible, the mulattoes next
and the black man last. The colored
people are disposed to behave themselves
and be orderly if they could only be left
alone by these infamous and deprayed
carpet-baggers and scallawags. Since
writing the above, L Cass. Carpenter de.
.nies that he made this speech, but two
young men Of Columbia make affidavit
that they heard him use language as bad
and very similar to that charged. His
ldismission from office will be asked for.

! THE DUTY OF THE HOUR.

There is but one object that now en-;
crosses the political attention of all Dem
:, ocrats and honest men in South, Carolina:
That object isthe establishment of DEM
ocratic supremacy by: the election of
Tilden and Hendricks: Hampton, and
Simpson. Whatever may have been. our
differences upon matters of policy, we
are now in ranks together and are bat
;tling against common foe. There can
be no spirit Of rivalry, no exultation nor
humiliation among. those who have SO
noble a purpose animating them in a
common cause against corruption and
iincompetency. The past is no longer
remembered, and cthei unity of our peo7
pie is for the first time since reeonstruc-
ton complete The platform of the re-
cent State Convention proclaims, uniyer-
sal amnesty to those who will join In the
grand effort now being made ito redeem
our State There should hereafter be
no elimination nor recrimination over
that which is past. No man in this can
.yass should be twitted on account of
what he has been; but all who honestly
join the common rally against our foes
should be respectfully, even cordially,
received. This battle is not to be fought
uponthe dissentions of the past 1t can
not be won by any such course, but it is
by the extension Of the mantle of charity
to all who are willing to combine with
us that triumph is to be achieved in No
vember.' 1t is the duty of all to harmon
ize as far as possible the conflicting
elements around them, for we cannot
afford to.lose any force or time in settling
unnecessary disputes. Those who are
united in this move should have conf
.dence in the purity and integrity of pur-
ipose7of each other. Acrimony should
be avoided, and uniform courtesy should
be extended to all. All Of US have made
mistakes, and none should wish to mar
the harmony of our effort for the re.
demption of our State by hating in the
march to victory for the purpose Of graft
flying any trivial difference of opinion.
There is now greater unanimity of feel
ing in South Carolina than has been wit
messed since the war, and every man
should endeayor to preserve it.. AL
ready the united front of the Democracy
has caused the minions Of corruption to
quake for fear that The day Of reconing
for their gull. is, at hand. We, have but
seen the beginning. The unity which
to-day prevails among the whites is des-
tined to win over many Of the negroes,
and the prospect is. that the change in
our government will be accomplished by
an overwhelming majority.

New York Herald: The reform pro-
fessions of the Republican party belle its
record. Had it done its duty during its
long tenure of power, there would be no
urgent need of reform. The real ques-
ton on which the Presidential election is
to turn, is, whether official honesty and
administrative reform be more important
than the protection of negro rights in the
South. If the country regards the negro
as paramount, it will elect Hayes if it
regards the reform question as paramount,
twill elect Tlden.

Suber, an official of Lalrens County.
This matter shows that there Is a!dispo-
sition on the part of those who have the
State arms to put them out clandestihely
among the negroes, They wish toget up
more Hamburg difficulties, and we warn
the colored people not to be their dupes.
The organization of these secret armed
bodies of negroes will assuredly bring
trouble, and the poor negro will be the
sufferer. We only regret that these
things are .necessitated, and especially
that the fomenton of these disturbances
are not the sufferers. - ''.'.
1.-The division of time programme works
like charm. The meeting at Edgefeld
was grand success. Generals Butler
and Gary met and demolished Governor
Chamberlain. and Judge Mackey, and
after the Republicans got through held
Democratic meeting of; their own.
The success was complete. At Newber-
ry, on last Friday, joint discussion was
had between Messrs. Chamberlain, Hoge
and Jillson, on the Republican side, and
Messrs. Lipscomb, Aiken and Pope on
the Democratic side. The discussion
was scathing to the Republicans, and
nothing but facts and arguments were
necessary to overthrow the emissaries Of
Republicanism on this occasion. The
order of the meeting was excellent, and
