JUDGE COOKE.

We commend the determination Of
Judge Cooke as expressed in the follow
ing letter. If the other Judges in the
State would follow this course, they
would add dignity to themselves and in
crease the purity Of the bench. This
action of Judge Cooke will elevate him
both in the estimation of the bar and the
people of our State: SOS ,,yt

DEAR SIR: I have just received the
news in this quiet, prosperous town, that
on last Saturday, the Republican Con-
vention at Greenville, elected me dele
gate to the Congressional Convention,
for the 4th District. Wishing to have
nothing toldo with politics in the future,
and thanking the Convention for the
honor conferred, most positively decline
to serve in said Convention. This being
my determination, I have thought it
proper to inform you, at the earliest mo-

piled in time.
I am, very respectfully, your most obe-
dient servant, ~

THE. .RICE.FIELD STRIKERS.

r
During the past week the strike among
the rice-feld hands in the lower part of
the State was renewed by mob of about
thirty negroes crossing from the Beaufort
to the Colleton side of the Combahee.
The ColIeton hands were receiving one
dollar per acre for cutting rice, and were
satisfied; but the strikers who numbered
in short time to one hundred and fifty,
would attack the hands upon the differ:
ent plantations, and beat them with slaves
and clubs. The strikers said they had
orders from Gov. Chamberlain, and in
tended to stop the hands from work. At
the request Of citizens of that vicinity
previous to this, the Governor had ap-
pointed Trial Justice with Constable
to execute the laws there, but at the time
of the strike they were both gone, and
when the Governor was telegraphed. for
assistance, he was in Washington beg
ging troops. The work was evidently
done by bad and designing men, for the
hands of one farmer said that they were
instructed to strike for s1.5O per acre,
and were not to use violence to the whites
unless a negro was shot, and then they
were to use the torch. Congressman
Smalls used his influence to disperse the
strikers, and succeeded. The planters
have agreed to accede to the demand for
$1.5O per acre, This matter is serious
one, and the welfare of the. State demands
that the leaders be properly punished.
The Governor has not been as blatant
about the. outrageous conduct of these
negroes, as he has been about wrongs
which or y exist in his imagination.

RADICAL STATE CONVENTION.

Special Dispatch to the anderson Inteuigencer.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. l3, p. m.
The Radical Convention organized
yesterday by electing Smalls temporary
Chairman. He is opposed to Chamber
lain, but his election is without signif-
cance rs to the final result. The COM
mittee on credentials has not yet repor-
ted, and the Convention has adjourned
until this afternoon.
Chamberlain has majority at present
favorable to him, and is likely to receive
the nomination on first ballot, as matters
now stand, though Thomas G. Dunn, the
opposing candidate, is gaining strength.
The party is confused, and evidently
crest-fallen. The carpet-baggers are the
ascendant element in the Convention.

Gen. Fitzpatrick, who has been stump

Gen. Fitzpatrick, who has been stump
ing Indiana for Hayes, wrote him letter
recently, stating that if they made a
financial canvass the Republicans would
be beaten, but that with plenty of
money and bloody shirt canvassRthe
State is safe for the Republicans. 1t
seems the RAIDS believe him, for all the
United States officers are being assessed
for campaign purposes. Even Grant has
given $1,000, and the poor female clerks
in the Treasury and other Departments
at Washington have each been made to
contribute FIVE dollars or upwards. This
is the sortof civilasryice reform the Re-
publicans want. Fortunately, neither
the bloody shirt nor campaign green
backs can probably make Indiana Re
publican.
The latest phase of Radical infamy
shows itself in the fact, that the Southern
carpet-bagger is directing the crusade
against the people. Senator Robertson
has not been consulted in Washington
about this State, although he has fire.
quently been at home, and Patterson who
has not been here for six months, is CIV
ing all the testimony about our affairs to
the President and his cabinet. Under
his and Chamberlain's influence it is an
nounced that the troops are to be brought
from Texas, where they are needed to
protect our Mexican border, and station
ed in this State, where there is no use
for them. 1t has further been said that
they intend to stop joint discussions be-
tween Democrats and Republicans in
this State. It may be taken for granted
that the carpet-bag whelps in the South
will do all they possibly can to defeatus,
but it is consoling to know that the.
United States officers are generally gen
tlemen and not adventurers. We have
nothing to fear from them, and therefore
these miserable plotters against reform
mud respectability will no doubt come to
grief on the 7th day of November.
