mules with shorn names and tails and auribul

from the experiences OF 1876 the good effect oil

battle with the valiant Radicals cavalry force
might be the best. They have been saying some
most alarming things lately. The phllipics OF
some of the gifted colored orators who have
recently been holding forth so boldly IN the
byways and back streets Of Columbia are more
powerful than " fleets and armies II would
be wise precaution, therefore, to go to Column
bia on the 7th prepared to make hasty retreat
in case of a rout by the brave boys IN black or,
taking another view of the matter. a pretty
good business might be done at "intimidating''
by merely putting on formidable appearance.
Why, on big Tuesday at Abbevle, ia 1876,
Chamberlain had his Imagination SO heated by
the sight OF red shirts that he actually heard
bona fide click OF great big pistol His sense
OF hearing became so acute that he got to dodg-
ing without method. The poor fellow no doubt
believes to this day that that was the most
critical period in his whole career. He could
not be convinced that some South Carolina
heather did not cock pistol oa him. Who
knows what little galloping and few lusty
rebel yells would do for Columbia? The entire
atmosphere OF that beautiful city might be pu-
rlled by the expulsion OF the last Radical
there. The South Carolina Republicans are 80
easily, so thoroughly, and SO much intimidated
that it's as good as fox chase to get ont after
them. Rad is funny enough any way you
take him, but when he's scared he's enough to
make even Yankee laugh. We have had di-
version enough, however. over this much
abused, budozed party, and as IT would give
forth no worse an odor dead than living, its
speedy extinction is a contamination devoutly
to bs wished for. The intimidation process is
all sufficient for this determination. a very
little fright and the average Rad is dead all
over" Try the experiment next Tuesday. All
that is necessary is to ride about in small par
ties and look pretty savage; II any OF the
faithful are near they fall like ripe corn be
fore the reaper"

Law,on is blessed( y with politicel meetings
this week. On Tuesday evening Messrs. Park
hurst and Copley held forth to large and pa
tieut audience that on the whole was well
pleased with the result, and, judging from the
efforts the Democrats making the next day to
decry the arguments used, there must have
been some very telling hits. On "Wednesday
evening both parties were entertained by the
advocates OF their respective faith,-the Demo-
Gratis assembling in Doolittie Hall and the Re
publicans at the Chapel, which latter place was
filed TO oyerfiowing by an appreciative audi
ence that remained until late hour listening
with evident satisfaction to an excellent ad-
dress 10y Mrs. j. w. Travis, OF Hartford. This
lady is doing valuable work in behalf Of the
cause which she advocates. She is pleasant,
forcible speaker, and, although discussing po-
litical topics, does not forget what is becoming
to herself as lady. On Saturday evening next
Judge A. j. Mills, OF Paw Paw, is announced to
speak.

AS the Democratic press and Democratic
stump speakers persistently deny that bull
doing Is one OF the principal methods used to
carry elections in the Southern States, we have
thought it worth while to furnish our readers a
little Southern testimony as to the truthfulness
OF the reports as to the terrorizing and intimi-
dation by the Ku-Klux and Red Shirt busn ss.
The following is from the Lexington (S. CO
Dispatch, (Dem.) Of September /, 1880:
Before our next seue the Democratic party
OF South Carolina will have opened the cam =
paign by grand ratification meeting at Column
ba, and we take occasion second time TO in
sist upon large attendance from Lexington
county. The conduct OF the campaign on the
part of the Democracy should be vigorous and
aggressive. We are IN the ascendancy and sho'd
remain there at any cost. Let every good man,
no matter what his calling, spare the time to
lend some aid in paving the way to another
Democratic victory. Senators Bayard, Vance,
Hampton and Butler will be present to make
speeches at this meeting on the 9TH. Who that
can possibly afford being there would miss see
ing and hearing the great statesman Bayard
and the nimitable Vance? Captain d. j. Grif-

WASHINGTON, ~. u, OCt. 10, loOU.
Correspondence Of The True Nortnerner.
The Democrats here are drawing such poor
consolation as they can derive from the French
provcrb that there is nothing so imminent as
the improbable"
1t was improbable that Name would not give
decided Republican majority it was improba-
BILE that Indiana would go Republican and it is
improbable that Hancock will be elected ,-ex-
tremely improbable indeed so little probable
that scarcely the most sanguine Democrat even
hopes for such result. Usually, to say that a
city wears broad smile, would be to exagger-
truth with regard to Washington now. An
acute observer from a foreign country could
not help being impressed with the cheerfulness
light heartedness and facial radiance Of the
population OF the American capital. Since the
elections in Ohio and Indiana an ineffable joy
fulness has been palpable in the faces OF almost
terrible apprehension mas been removed, and a
burden has been lifted from the heart not only
of the government employee, but also from the
real estate owner and from almost every resi-
dent of the city. change OF administration
would result, owing to our wretched civil ser
vice system, IN change OF at least half the
population OF the city. Matured business rela-
tons would be broken up, thousands of real
estate owners would be compelled to dispose Of
their property at fatal sacrifice, and not even
q tornado levelng half the houses OF great
city to the ground could be more disastrous in
it's effects than would be the advent OF a new
political regime.
1t should be one OF the first duties OF the new
Republican legislative body, which we may now
hope will come in with the next Congress, to
establish our civil service on such secure and
solid foundation that it may not be the foot
ball Of political parties and prolific source OF
corruption for political aspirants. We Nigh.
well learn lessen from France and England
in their management OF this branch OF the ma
tional service. Gladstone may come and Bea
consfield may go, but the government goes on
as ever except In change of cabinet officers
and the heads of foreign embassies rendered
necessary in a change OF policy. The faithful
and efficient government clerk retains his place,
and this branch Of the government service is
conducted with such economy as is unknown in
the United States an economy that never can
reward for political service, or as sinecures for
the sisters, cousins and aunts Of successful
politicians.

BLooMrsepALE Oct. 10.

On Friday evening last Mrs. Travis, of Hart
ford, spoke here on the political issues. The
impression had gone out that she was gwen to
getting off her text and deyoting her time to
"woman's rights" ETC. In justice to her we
say the latter topic was not touched during the
evening. She was listened to with marked IN
terest. Her topic was well handled, and at
times she was truly eloquent. We think her
speeches, il OF the same character as here, are
calculated TO do good in the campaign. We are
to be favored with Messrs. Rowland and Hilton
next, as l see by The Northerner. We will not
extend to them the Tom Corwin greeting, but
shall expect something as good as they gave
the Gobers some time since-whch was good
as anyone could digest we'll, and, from remarks
since, think some OF it, like fat pork in win
ter, stuck to Gresnback and Democratic ribs.

General Garfield, in his speech to the bust
ness men OF Cleveland, described the Repubi-
can party as an organization that can give the
business men OF the country policy OF insur-
hand against all the evils that can come to you
from bad legislation and the reckless wicked
ness OF bad finance" The truth OF this is APP
preclated by the majority of the people. And
It is this knowledge, with the inestimsble value
OF such insurance, that stimulates business
men in their support OF the Republican party.
1t is this faith that will utterly overwhem the
Democracy.

EDITOR TRUE NoRTHERNER:
A long time has elapsed since have found
time and strength to write up Hartford items,
AS ny attention has been quite thoroughly oc
cupied in another direction, while the malaria
of the climate has so affected my system as to
destroy good deal OF my natural energy and
vitality; 30 please excuse.
Hartford people were somewhat disappoint-
ed on account of the upfavorable weather on
Monday. They expected quite mass meeting
as j. c. Burrows was to DO present and address
the people, and notwithstanding the inclemency
OF the weather he was there and SO was the
crowd at least good many more than could
get IN the hall to hear. 1 think it was generally
conceded 10 be very telling speech aud one
calculated to open the peoples eyes and make
votes.
As this is the only day have been at home
for week can give no more Hartford items.
Filled my appointments for last week and had
crowded houses every night but one, and that
was Saturday evening, when it was too cold
and windy for human beings to so out unless
obliged to. The Opera House at South. Haven
on Wednesday evening was filled to overlooking
and many vert away without getting in. At
Breedsville on Thursday evening the Demo
Gratis held their club meeting, yet my audience
room was so full many had to stand. At Bloom
ngdsle on Friday night it was just the same,
although there was fair and social held in
connection with the Baptist church, for which
they had been making preparations long time.
But the people Of that town are alive and thor
onghly intelligent, and going up to the social
after the political meeting 1 spent an hour very
pleasantly. l think that as general thing the
Republicans in this State are too Indifferent
they are SO cure Of victory that they rest on
their oars. A simple victory ia not en- ough SO
long as we run along nearly even-handed, just
80 long the Southern element is going to hope
and work. Ought We not to roll up such ma
jorlty this fall az shall make them see that
their cause is lost ore--that no power on
earth can ever make it successful?

Now that the October States have so emphat-
ically endorsed General Garfield, let us hope
the attacks OF the Democratic press upon his
character will cease. 1t is fitting that the Dem
ocratic party, as National party, should meet
its death without slandering pure and honest
man. What Democratic orator dare stand up
now and tell intelligent voters about the Credit
Mobllier and DeGolyer scandals, after the
splendid answer given by Indiana aud Ohio to
these false charges charges that we're refuted
by the people Of Garfcld's own district in an
increased Republican, majority OF 120O0,-
charges such as have never been imputed to
the candidate OF political party before Let
us hope that this first campaign OF SANDER by
party against an opposition candidate will
meet with such an overwhelming rebuke that
the lesson will be remembered through all our
history. Alexander II. Stephens said, and we
begin now to see the truth OF it, that to attack
Garfield's private character would elect him.

for selling, in violation of the local option
law, the defense established that the Home
Sanative Cordial was compound tincture

it a real medicine, and declared the defend
