RADICAL INYIInTDITION.

have the right, nevertheless, to
! point out to rabid critics Of South
Carolina and South Carolinians that,
even If evory "outrago" tho news
napcrs manufacturo were Il concrete
fact, moro "outngcs" arc commit
ted by Black Radicals npon Colored
Democrats in South Carolina than
are laid at tho door Of tho Demo-
cratic party. A complete list Of
the attacks made upon Colorcd
Democrats in this State, during tho
past month, can hardly be procured,
but some sample outragcs havo
. come to our notice:
On September 2G, Policeman
Squlres, u colored Democrat, was
set upon and beaten almost TO death
by mob of Radical negroes in this
city, while in discharge of his duty.
On September 25, 9. p. Chisolm,
a C. lored speaker, was interrupted
and wantonly insultcd by Radical
negroes, during a Democratic meet"
ing at Snider's Cross-Roads, Colle-
ton county. Where was Section
$500, "
On October 8 an attempt was
made by Radical negroes to break
up Il Democratic mass meeting ut
Georgetown. The rioters were
undor the leadership Of NIoultlio
Armstrong and supper Top" Har~
mott. Woodbury., IL colorcd Demo-
crat, was beaten almost to death by
the mob, and w. H. Dorroll, q
white Democrat, was severely in
!urcd while attempting to rescue
him.
On October 16 several colorcd
Democrats wero threatened and
abused at Fort Motto by black
Radicals, and incendiary threats
wero made against mombers of the
party by negro bullics in the streets
OF the same town.
On October IT, John Williams,
colored Democrat, was attacked by
Radicals at social party to which
he had been invited, in Anderson
county, and was beaten, fired on,
and pursued to the residence Of Mr..
). A. Gaines, who with difficulty
protected him.
A week or two ago. Jackson
Allston, colorea Democrat, was
wantonly attacked by Radical he =,
groes at Levv's Cross-Eoads, in
Beaufort county, was beaten and
fired ut IL number Of times, and
forced to fee for his life
At Clay Hill, in York county,
early in October, four negroes were
arrested and committed to Jail for
beating and attempting to kill
colored Democrats.
There is a more seriOus case vet.
EARLY in the morning of September
rs, in the streets of Lancaster,
Joseph Jones, black Radical,
stabbed Frank Massey, a colored
Democrat, in the breast, and ut last
account he was dying. NIassey's
offence was that he had declared
himself in favor of tho Democratic
candidates.
To cap the climax, the Republican
clubs throughout Barnwcll have re-
solved that every colored man voting
the Democratic ticket shall be os-
traciscd by his fellows, expelled from
their churches, suffered to die with
out the attendance Of his nearest
and dearest relatives, and must DO
bHried By the hanls Of Democrats,
il buried all.
Scores Of similar instances Of i'll.
timidation, beating and wounding,
where colorel Democrats were the
victims, can be readily given. Our
only object is to remind tho public
again that there are two sides to the
soutrage" The experience Of tho
present canvass confirms fully tho
experience of tho last. White men
arc incapable. under the severcst
provocation, of the brutality which
the negroes display in dealing with
those Of their own color who Join
the Democratic party, and arc treat
cd as traitors to their ce.-Nears

is curious to know what inducements ts
were used by tho Republican mana
gors with the Florida returning
board in 1876, that s'neutralized or
ovorcamo the influence of the money
the Democrats seem to have been so
ready to spend. There was clearly
a good deal of corruptiblo material
