u soldiers Account Of TninGs.
IA A special despatch from Washington
>kays: Information has been received
er. OF an event which illustrates an
Entirely new f.atur. of the policy OF
he south Carolina Democrats, by
n-ans of which they intend TO be vic
'orious in avery county and Coagres-
ional district OF their State in the CON.
I'M election. u
For long time they have been at
york trying to intimidate State Senator
Duncan, OF Orangeburg county, a col
bred man, and to force him TO resign
bis seat and suspend bis work In the
present CANVASS. Failing to scare him,
they have now found white man
ho swears that in II. last canvass
Mr.. duncan promised him, If success
6ul, to secrre his appointment az
County Auditor. A warrant for
HE arrest of Duncan was mad"
'put by the D-,nocYts immediately after
obtaDing this sta:.nent, and just be-
4|bre the time appointed for the meeting
y the chairman Of the Precinct Com
hittee OF the county at Orangeburg
Duncan, who was county chairman, was
arrested and lodged in jail. Bail was
procured in the sum OF 81 800, it being
Furnished by a Mr.. Webster. There
n pom the same iniorner swore that
Webster was also promised by DuHcan
Ah- Office Of County Treasurer, and a
Warrant vas issued for the arrest Of
Webster, thus rendering him ineligible
'as a bondsman. Duncan and Webster
swere both locked up in deiault of IS,
bOO0 bail.
People In Washington who know
Webster say that he is a man Of unlm-
3psachable character aud Of much in
tiu-nce. H. was q Methodist preacher
BIZ New England, and, before the war,
iWent 10 South Carolina as u repres-n
tative of the Northern Methodist ch arch.
|lle has since been, and is thought yet
|to be-, the presiding elder OF the North
Iern Methodist Conference Of South Caro-
Dina. lie was, tor some years, Prssi-
dent of the Clafin University, Of
tOrangeburg, and editor Of the Free
Citizen. He is well known throughout
the state, and wields considerable in
tluence, but has made himself obnox-
lOus to the Democracy by his fearless
championship Of the colored race.
n Current events in South Carolina now
eeem to herald the early dawn of a
peace as profound and sincere as that
" Which prevails in Mississippi and Ar
Kansas. Governor Hampton, in re-
GENT public speech, claimed that all ex.
eept two counties of the state are sure
% 60 Democratic, and that those two
,yre only doubtful. Republicans there
md in Washington conced- that the re.
tArn of single Republican to Congress
~ no longer thing to be hoped for.
The Democratic victory is already won,
1bt by the conversion ofRepublicans to
We support of Democratic principles
80 Democratic candidates but by their
practcal disfranchisement.
f "A private letter, written by a gentle
man who went to South Carolina origin |
ally as the surgeon of Northern regi. |
u1ent, and who married AID settled
there, describes the state Of things as
~ sees them as follows:
MA We are not allowed to hold any meet
Ings. Even our conventions are brOk-
sp up by the red shirt Democracy. Re-
ph bllcais can no more exercise their
and par y rights in South Cays
Dina than they could in Russia or China.
tfte ION In the South is asham and a
Seproach To the American nation. You
AZ appeal to the courts. Bosh You
night az we'll appeal to the devil to
pfotect you in your religious rights.
Ihey openly declare that no Republican
rneetings shall be held, and whe 'er
pne has been attempted it has been
Violently broken up. J.
