a chance TO bribe they can't why he didn't ask

that he suspected them of more moral princips

The report Of so impartial an eyewitness as the
Southern correspondent of lhe Cincinnati CONNER
cidi, Mr.. II. V. Redhed, confirms fully the other
descriptions which have come To hand of the bull
doing campaign IN South Carolina. He says the
plan of operation is decidedly aggressive, but the
aggression stops this side of assassination and
bloodshed. Every county ana almost every district
has It's rifle club artillery company OF some such
semi-mlitary organization, who generally go armed,
wear red shirts, aud work upon the feelings of the
tmid blacks, who can always be reached by dis
play OF force but never by argument If the Re.
publicans appoint local meeting. the nearest rife
club will put III an appearance aud demand divis-
ion Of time. There is ordinarily no violence, but
the almost invariable result is TO break up the
meeting. A demand for a division from the rife
clubs and the orators who 90 with them, must DO
complied with, or the meeting can't be held; that
is the occasion will be made so uncomfortable for
the Republicans that the subsequent proceedings
will interest them no more. One by one the blacks

meeting away. and attempt 10 hold 1t elsewhere
a sOcalled division" This Is the " Hampton
plan" In the words OF its author, the " color line
Is wiped out" and freedom of speech and action to-
tally destroyed by this simple system.
