They ore better organfzed they they were then, and thoy arc betterarnied. Al their Campatmn Clubs bear vifles, Instead of banners or térebes, and they are every one of them commartied and drilled by ofticers bearing mill- tary titles, and respected and obeyed as military leadess.

A RAEAD-AND-RUTTER FIOSCRIPTION, 1t must be understood that the campaign of violence and Intimidation to which I'have re- terred s confined grlnc!pnll v to the remoto country distrlete, In the farge towns and citics, however, the Demacrats have not been {dle. * Hera they cannot murder Republienns or drive them awny by violence, Knowing this, they have organized a system of starving them out'ef the 3tate, and’ to-day tn Columbla it fs absolutely hnnnsslhle for a " Republican shop- Kkeeper to do business, or for ¢ Revublican me- chanie or laborer to find employment. The banks are a1l n the hands of Deiocrata, and they will give no accommodation to Republican merchants. The workinen arc nearly ail ne groes, and unless they will pledge themsclves ta vote for Tilden and Hampton they may starve In the gutters, but they will find no em. ployment. In proof of this statement I will again furnish evidence {rom Democratic sources. The following resolutions were adopted one week ago by the Democratic Campalgn Club of this city. They have since been repeatedly pub. ahed {n the Zeylster, the organ of Tilden aund Hampton: Retolved, That it is the senee of thia Club that thetling has come when we must dietinguieh our friends from one for that we must manfully show onr preferences in tho emplayment of, and in trading with, those wha support the grana moveo- ment of reform and honecet government to those who are endeavoring to folst upon us the same corrupt and dishoneat adiminlatration that for oleht years han had no ebject but the dezradation of the name of South Carolina and the personal aggran- dizement of the corpet-baggers and u few rence ades. . flesolved, That ramars being current in the city that certaln merchants In this ward are going to rhow their preference for tha present Administra. tlon on tho 7th of Novemuer next, that the Presi- dent of this Club do appoint a Commitiee of thres or five, the duty of this committen belng to present the roll ta every man in the ward for sip- natures, thereby giving tn each one the opportunl. ty of vindicating himeelf, and_at the same timo enabling the honest laborers for reform to dia- criminnte between friends and focs, and that they report at the earllest possibe time. Resolred, That this resolution shall apply cqual. 1y forcibly to parters about stores and oflices, ‘car- penters, ‘mechanics, Larbets, butchors.” hack. drivers, and infact toovery onc who reccives wages from the honest cltizene of this ward. How well the order contained in theae reso- Tutfons has been obeyed will be understood when I state that there is not anc rhopkeeper of any kind In Columhia who does not profess to be In favor of the Democratic ticket. There are hundreds of Republicans amnong them: they are Amerfean citizens, but they darc _not ex- press their real politieal sentinients, They are slaves—nbsolutely elaves—in everything” that relates to politics, The following fncldent witl rove this: Last evening I was walking on the Main strect of Columbln with one of the best and most favorably known merchants {n South Carolina, Hols a'Southern man, but hns al- ways Licen a Republican, IIcwas telling ine of some of the outrages that have recently been practiced by the Demaocrats, aud, growine ex- cited, rafsed his volee romewhat. Buddenly he stopped shart, and much to my surprise eald: ‘No, I don't think it's_golng to rain! Just then two promincnt Demacratic pollticians rnsned us, and my friond whispered: Great iod, I hoyc they didn't hear what I sald about Hampton! " SWhyi" I cxclaimed in nstonishment. SWhyT" he replled; “ why, but because they would report my words all over the State, and ruin my_ busincss in o week., You don't live liere, and don’t understand such thines, hut 1 assure yotu that the white tradesinan in South Carolina who does not at least pretend to sup- port Tiiden and Hampton might as well shut up shop; hie would not eeil a dollur's worth of goods {1 a month.” ‘Thuis systen of proscription affects even the humblest man in tho community. To<lny I went {nto what used to bo the beat patronized barber-shop in Columbin. I found it ailent and deserted, and the black proprictor told me with tears (n his cys that m.-nnfn | his customers hoed left him because he would not pledge himself to vote the Democratie ticket, And still he fs a citizen of what has beon called the frecst coun- try in she world, @OV, CIIAMRERLAIN'R BXPERIENCES IN THE CAM- TAIGN. Some duys eince, Col. Haskell, Chalrman of tho Bouth Carolina Democratic State Central Committee, nddressed a lotter to Gov. Ciam- berlatn, chatlenging him to meot Gen. Hampton on the stump, and Informing bim that every thing hu (Chamberlain) was reported to have sald while In the North about the terrorism pre- valling in the State was false. Uov, Clumber- Tain has responded in a lettor which fills four- teen columns of the Columbis Unfon-Herald, Gov. Chamberlain neeents the chalenge, aud In doing so ealls Col, Tnskell’s attentlon to the “rcompulsory ™ joint discussions fn which he was compelled to engage eome two monthsago while canvassing the State. Wo quote what hie eays about 8 meeting held at Edzeficld: 1 went, on the 12th of August, to addressa Tle- publican’ meeting ot Edgelield Cdurt-llouse, Thin mecting had heen called by n.‘mmlrmnn of the Tepublican party of that coiintyyat my lfustance; and, as rmnozs had repeatedly reached me that the meeting was (o he in rome way lnlerrnptrd by the Democrats, I invited one or two Republican epeak- ers to accompany me. ‘The lon, Robert Smalls, member of Congress fram that district, airo nccom- panled me, Wo reached the Court-llonse atd u'clock in the forenoon. Almostimmediately upon my arriyal I found the town rapldly filling with mounted white men, who algnalized thelr arrival in town by riding rapldly through the etreets, and uttering alnost continiously the shout or cry which you mnst pardon mo for describing by it famillar name as_the **Hebel yell, "~a sound to which wo wero well accustomed in Vieginia twelva years ago, By 11 o'clock this crowd of monnted vhite men numbered, 1 judged, (00 or LU at Jenst, Command of these men waa_apparently formlly nssume at the public quare by Gen. M, C, Butler und Gen, M. W, Gory, and ‘they pro- ceeded 1o the grove where a stand had been crected by the Republican Cowmmitice far the speakers. T whonid mention that nbort 10 o'clock several white gentlemen had called at my hotal and anked that Democratic speakers shoutd bo heard at our weeting, 1 auswered thut we hal aeveral Tto- publican speakers present who would require the whole day il they all xpoke, but 1 suggested that these guntlemen should veo the Republican County Chalrmun, sud stated that | would personally cou- sent 1o ony arrangewent they might muke with i, The Cualrman, being engaged in preparn- tlons for the meeting, did not mect these geutle- men, and no arrangement was made, At 11 o'clock 1left the hotel and proceeded to the grove. On arriviug, J found the mounted white men who had ascembled in town, witha large mumber of other white men. occupying one wutire half of the space around the atani, and one end of the staud was nlreude broken down by the white gien who liad crowded npon It. 1 stepped upon the stand fn cumpany with Judge Mackey und Senator Caln, the Republican County Chalrman. Simultancously Gen. Uutler and “Gen. Gury mounted tho stand, with a number of thoir fallow. ers, The white men vociferously cleered Uen. Butler and Gen, Gary as they appearcd upou the stand, und_the speaking was actually “opened by (en, Dutler, who returned his thanks to his tollowers for their presence und thelr tribate 10 bim. 1l was followed, in response to deafene ing calls from his party, by Gcn. Gary who an- nounced ln emphiatic und plain te that thev—he and his party—had come there Lo be heard, ond that they shanld be Beard; that the lHadical leuders had failed to make uny sreangement for a division of the time in speaking, but thiat he snd s frienda should b heal vith ar withuut our consent; ond he added, with great signidcance of tone and man- ner, that **if any tronble touk place In conses quence, the reaponsibility and consequences wonli be upon the Kadical leaders,” During all this thne uo ftepublican hiad bevn allowed 1o speak, A lance at the crowd of white mon. who by this ime covered the stand and swarmed around near) three sldes of it, Lesides climbing Inta the tre above our hoady, all, sa far ss I could obscrve, heavily armed with ||lnml¢. displayed in many in- stancea on the front of thelr persons, and even held in their hands, couvinced me that any attept to refuse the demand made, or even to abendon the meeting, would result in collision ond bloodshed between the partles. tharefure advieed Senator Cain thet wo had no alternative but to yield to the demand; and, aftor s moment's consultation, 1 announced that we wauld divide the time, glving a balf-hour each to three speakers from each party, Senator Caln thon propused to call tho meeting to_order, and 1o snnounce the speakers, but Gen. Gary declared that they wanted 1o Chalrman, and accordingly [ stepped {mwnrd undor these circumsinnces, to address the mee ing. From the beginning to the end of my haif- hour 1 waa interrupted by the crowd of white men with joers and insults of every kind. Twice dur- fuyg iny remarks the confusion and f{aterruption were 20 complete that, after valoly appeailug to the crowd to sllow me to hearid, Gen, Butler had the decency 1o cone forward and so far restore order as 10 bnel‘ permit nie to rosume my ro. worke. Of the whole half-hour atiotied to nie, | certalnly was pot pernitted Lo occupy over iwenty minuics with any remarka snch as {ghould natu- rall In truth, { spoko under great constraint, and o con. scionaness that uny word might preeipitate 8 bloody collleion, which 1 had’ oo means of preventing or controliing.

At 3:i0 left the grove, in order to reach the Cola train at Plne Hlotse the same evening, amid a tor- rent of jeers and yolla. which continied to reach my ears without cessation undil 1 had passerl be- yond the lmits of the town. The meetine, though called and arranged for in nvel{ particular by the Tepunlicana, was at no time anid in no sense ander our control: only two of the sIx ltepublican speak- ere from abroad who were present were permitted toapeak at all: and, under the preesure of the white men who crowded upon i1, the platform was brouzht to the cronnd hefore | left the acene, At this meeting the Hepuhlieans ware told in thie most (-m‘unnl: terms thatthe Democrats had made up their mindstocarry Edgefield County, and that they would carry it: that their leaders would be held to aceount personaliy: that the white people mast /and ehould rule the county. The whole meet- ing uiay be justly described ae a torrent of abase of me pereonally, and an exhibition of force and thrents desicned to Intimidare the colored vater and their leaders, Afterwe had reached the trabn, at the scveral raflroud statlons in Edxfleld County, n number of armed and mounted ten who had attended the meeting at the Court-House en- tered the car In which we sat, and, with rade and threatening menners, addressed their jeers and (n- aumta to Gen. Smalls and myself, especlally warn- "'f s not ta come to Edgeficld again, will add that the foregoinzaccount of the meete ing at Edgefield has been made from written mem. oranda made by me whiln on my way to Columblia, and after my arrival at home the same evening. Nothing has been overetated, though muels that was disgraceful Los necesearily been omltted in this description. 5 Gov, Chamberlain spoke at Newberry, at Ab- boville, at Midway, and at Lancaster; and each of these mectiugs was but a repetition “of the one held at Edgefield, The armed * cavalry ? appeared at all of them, bullled and insulied the speakers, and compelled a division of time rith such of their own leaders as they chose to put on the platform.

Capt. Kenney, former proprictor of the Marfon House at Scdalin, aud a Mr. Keeland, both of whom clmm to know Frank well, could not identify hfm.

There are other men who lknow the Jumes boys well, but it is believed none of them will” take the risk of fdentifying cither of them., Dr. Mosher, of Sloux City, who was stopped on the road necar that city and robbed of his liorse snd clatbing at the timo the James boys werehelng so closely pursued in Western Towa, will be sent forand the parties at Northield, Minn., who saw the gang at the tine of the robbery, will be asked to come liere ond view the prisoper. Chlef McDonough is by no means certain that this man {s Frank Jomes, but he feels that he f{s ono of the band that robbed the Northficld Lank, and, if not Frank James, {s Cal Carter, At all events no pains will be spared to effect Lis identifieation. The wound of this man cor- responds Lo the one said to have been recelved by Frank James. It s located In the same place and presents . every appearanca of having ~ been foflicted some_weeks ago. Te soys the injury was re- ceived while hunting squlrrels athis home fu Western _Loulsfung, and that he went from there to Dr, Nolan's, near Independence, Mo., for surgical treatment, This story recelves no consideration whatoves A BLOODY ROW.

Mr. Bott pastor. There hos been trouble brewing—a la Beecher- ‘IMiton—for the pastor with the cuphonious name for a long while past. And the matter- ings of the storm have been growing louder and louder. Indeed, some months ago there was an outbreak in the sbape of charges and disciplin- tng, & committee of investigation, and other theolomical whitewashing, This resulted In a cessation of hostiities, but the plans of minis. ters and church commitices arg ns subject to fallure as those of worldly people, and the truce was ended in a sensational and amusing manner last evening, The Hev.

They lairly gusbed with éarnest pathos and religious feeling. Suddenly, awmid this scene of solemnity, during the hush which fol- Jowed the song of pralse, o member trose, and, in a Joud, clear volce, which arrested the atten- tion of every one, he sald: ©1 have an article in my hand—anarticle con- tainlug charpes against” the pustor of this churdln’ Thers was a buzz of comment and u liush of expectancy throughout the church.
