yee AMONG THIEVES. almage’s Latest Visit tothe Haunts of Crime. THE MAJESTY OF THE LAW. Startling Pictures of the Night Bide of City Life. + - The Rev. T. De Witt ‘Talmage, D. D., yesterday morn- Ing continued his series of sermons on the “Night Bide of City Life,” preaching this time about ‘Thieves end Assassins.” The Brooklyn ‘Tabernacle was erowded as usual, and among the andience were a lage number of clergymen, After the opening hymn, “Stand up for Jesus”—during which all the congre- gation stood up—Mr, Talmage gave ont the weekly notices, among which were the announcements of the Thanksgiving services of the Tubernacle, the fair of the Sisters of Charity in aid of St. Mary’s Hospital end the eighth of the sermons on the “Night Side of City Life” for next Sunday, the subject of which was Snnounced to be “New York and Brooklyn Club Houses.” Tnen Mr. Talmage began bis sermon with the text, Luke, x., 30:—‘*A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, ‘end departed, leaving him half dead.” The scene of these highwaymen’s attack, ssid the Pastor, was a rocky ravine, where robbers have a first rate chance. The scene of this lonely road is re- Pested every night in our great cities, I have spoken to you of the night of pauperism, of debauchery and ehame, of official neglect and bribery. I tell you now of the night of theft and burglary, the night of pistol and dirk and bludgeon, the night of assassination. In feply to the quostion, “Who is my neighbor ?"" Christ 4s setting forth the doctrine that wherever there is a Man in trouble there is your neighbor. Before I get through I will show yon that you have some very dangerous neighbors, and also what is your moral esponsibility in their regard, I said to the chief official: rive me for the night two stout detectives, men who not only are muscu- lar but look muscular. Show me crime,” T said, “the Worst, the most villanous and the most violent.” I took with me only the officers of the law, for I never waut any one to run risks on my account. Having undertaken for Christian purposes to show up the lower depths I felt I must go on till the work be completed. “Why did you not first look for the criminal classes of Brooklyn?” It was not for any lack of mateyial; there is no place in the land where youcan get your pocket picked more easily. There are sll kinds of crime from manslaughter to chicken theft. (Laughter.) But the great depots of crime for all this cluster of cities are in New York. Brooklyn sin is as enterprising as possible for the number of inhabitants; but a million people on an island—what ®@ stage and what an audience on which and before whom crime may enact its tragedy! Nothing impressed me more on the night of my exploration than the respect which the law compels. ‘Why do those ten ruftisns instantaneously stop their blasphemy and uproar and wrangle? An officer has only turned back the lappel of his coat and displayed his badge of authority. Government is ordained of Heaven, and any police officer, so far as ho does his duty, is a deputy of the Lord Almighty. When one’ is backed up by omnipotent justice he can do any- thing. A DEN @ THTEVES. But what is this glazed window and these mys- terious goings in and coming out? It is what the Bible calls aden of thieves, They would not admit it. It can’t be proved to be such, for the keeper and the patrons are the acutest men in the city. Before ch man is ee of beer or stronger intoxicant. ey Will not drink to unconsciousness, but will take only just enough to excite thelr courage. * They want their hands steady and their eyes clear. Bome are talking over last night's exploit; others are planning for to-night. Thoy are in collusion with # servant who is to leave aback window un0- locked. They know the time the wealthy man goes home inobriated and how they shall come out of the dark alley and bring him down with the slungshot. this den of thieves how many false keys, ngly ‘ket knives, brass knuckles and revolvers! There irc a few vulgar pictures on the wall and the inevita- bie bar. Rum these people must have to rest them after exciting marauding; rum they must have be- fore they start for a new cxpédition of arson or larceny or murder. Not ordinary rum. It has been te four times—first by the manufacturer, then y the wholesale dealer, then by the retailer, then by the saloon keepet. Having been poisoned four times it 3 just right now to fit one for any cruelty or despera- jou. These men have calctlated to the last quarter of & qlass just how ranch is enongh to qualify them for their work. They are professional criminals. There are about two thousand three hundred of them in New York. There are the bank robbers—abont nixtyin number—who bind the watchman snd have the do- liberation of a whole night to see whether the cashier is keeping his accounts corteetiy. (Laughter,) ne are the men wi want to look in your directory, and. after dropping the directory investigate the money fe. ‘These are the forgers who get one of your can- celled checks and one of your blank checks, and practice writing your name. These are the ‘pick - rkets—abo pocl at six hundred of them—who ride be- side you in stages, holping you pass the cheuge— (aughtcr)—and stand bedde you when shopping, and weep beside you at funeral: #ometines bow their heads beside you in churches, doing their work with stich dexterity that your affliction at the loss of the money is mitigated by appreciation of the skill of the operator. (Laughter.) The most successful of these are females, on the principle that when a woman is good she is better than man, but when bad she is worse, Some of these thieves take the garb of clergy- men, have the dignity of doctors of divinity and look as it they were jnst going to pronounce the ic- tion. (. iter.) Some dash in jewelry windows, snd before the clerks know what tho excitement is tre a block away, looking innocent and ready to join in the pursuit of the offendor, with stentorian voice crying “Stop thief!” (Laughter.) WHO TAKES THE PROFIT. You wonder whether these men and women get tich... No. It is the receiver of the stolen goods that gets the profit. They live poor and die poor and tre pocr to all eternity. Among these professional triminals are the blackmailers, who make people pay or have their characters tarnished. Ihave no advico bog the guilty, but an honest and upright man ne never fear them. Do not tamper with them, but hand the mattor over to the police. A man in a cavern SS be & tigress might as well let hor bite off one hand on the be fae that she would let him off with the rest of his body, No one’s character is, bed sacrificed till he sacrifices it himeelf.

CAUHRS OF CRIME. TH: But whet has made this crime? New York is now Lage, op its corruption in polities eight or ten yoarr ago. Do you think the frands enacted in 184%, "dy, '70 snd ‘71 could go on without demoralizing society from top to bottom? Think of the sham elections of. 1963 and 1469! Think of the when & criminal was auditor of the public accounts and some of the police magistrates were worse than the criminals brought betore them, sad when the most notorious thief sifce the creation of the world was State Senator! Those times put thousands of men on the wrong track. “What have I to do with this sabject?”’ you say. You have to do with it, and in the Inst judg- ment you will have to anawer for your relation to it. The larcenies of New York cost the people $6,000,000 per year, This mighty expendituro puts its tax on every bill of lading and every yard ot goods.

NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET. tions that are working out reformation for our cities. Ayoung man who had taken $2,500 from his em- ployer came to ane and confessed it. I told him to pay it back. “1 can’t,” saidhe, Then T said, “Go home and kneel down and ask God's pardon, then yo to your store and tell all to your employers. If they are decent men they will forgive you and help you to start again.” “suppose they don’t?” said ho. (Laughtor.) “Then,” I said, “you have the Lord God Almihty to help you throngh, and no man ever Aung himself at Christ's feet’ but he was helped and | delivered.” (Applause.) , Another young man came to me and said that he had taken @ large sum of money from his employers, but had paid it almost all back, and could pay the rest in two weeks. It was a delicate case. IT said, “God don't ask you to disgrace your- self or your family. Pay them every farthing in two weeks. You won't die within that time, Isee by the Du have beea paying that yon are going to be livered, Ask God's pardou for What you have done, and never do so again.” WEATHER PROBABILITIES, ‘The fact is there is going to be a second delty, will rain more than forty days and forty nig! will be a deluge of mercy, and the ark that e on it will have five doors—one on the north to let the frozen populations come in, one on the south to let the sweltering and sunburnt enter, one on the east to let China come in, one at the west to let America en- ter, one at the top to let Christ descend, with all his flashing escort of cherubim and archangel.

It it THE BRIGHT SIDE OF NEW YORK—NOBLE CHARI- TIES OF HER CITIZENS AND SPLENDID MUNI- CIPAL INSTITUTIONS DISCUSSED BY REV. DR. NEWMAN. The Rev. Dr. Newman delivered his second dis- course last evening on the “Bright Side of New York” to an immense and highly respectable audience. “What more should be done for the destitute and vicious classes?” asked the Reverend Doctor, ‘As we have, therefore, opportunity let us do good unto all men’’— Galatians vi.,10, New York can justly boast of 315 charitable organizations, which disbursed in 1877 $6,500,000 in cash, food, fuel, clothing and nied- ical istance for the relief of the destitute and for tho improvement of the vicious classes in this great metropolis, ‘This is a glorious fact and is an honor to our Christian civil- ization; and if one-half the million of people resident here are classed among the poor then the other half gave $12 50 per person for the relief of the needy, But even this immense sum does not include the amount given indiscriminately to those who may chance to apply, or by churehes and societies not mentioned in the ‘Official Handbook of Benoyolent In- stitutions and Charities of New York.”’ It may be that the unknown charities are as great as the known. ‘The record is on high. The left hand has not known what the right has given. In many cased the recipient knew not the generous giver. Disgttised as a stranger the good Semaritun has visited the home of wretched- ness and want, and leaving found himself “twice blessed.” New York has never turned a deaf ean to the cry for help. When Ireland was smitten with a estilence that walketh in darkn nd destitution New York responded with a magnificence worthy of her wealth and intelligence, SOME CHEERING SIGNS, In considering the bright side of New York the Doctor said, in addition to the facts which I gave last Sabbath night let me give others on this occasion in proof that New York has a bright side. Our public jibraries are accessible to our citizens, where our metropolitan youth can grow familicr with the gr inasters of thought in every department of litera and where the workingman and apprentice boy and the gir) who earns an honest livelihood by honest toil muy freely drink at those fountains of useful knowl- edge. Our Young Men’s Christian Association and our Young Women's Christian Association open their gates to all who may come for social enjoyment and religious benefit, And it is the pride of New York that our metfopolitan press keeps eternal vigilance at the portals of our liberties. Our daily papers claim the right, and the same is accorded to them, to pass judgment upon every public man, institution and movement. Their criticisms are correctional and promote the best iuterests of society. Our press is ubiquitous. It is the photograph of our daily lives and the telephone of our daily utterances. Little or nothing pes the vigilant eye of the re- porter, while the odftor gives tone to public opinion. A city with such a press must have a bright side. It is an indication of the better condition of New York that our better citizens have risen en masse and hurled from power those political thieves who plun- dered our city. And this power abides and can and will be used whenever duty demands. In connection wath our municipal government we have depart- iments wherein all the great. interests of society are conserved, Our public benefactions are worthy the Christian name we bear, our an are severe to punish, our police is the best in the world, and so sate is New York that even @ clergyman can make his midnight explorations through onr dens of in- famy without losing his pocketbook or shocking his modesty. ‘HOW CAN THE DESTITUTE BE HELPED ? But what more should be done for the destitute and vicious classes of our city? This question is sig- nificant when we remember that in 1379 25,000 fatn- ilies will need relief, 1 would invoke law to give aid to your missions of charity. Let us invoke law. It is the province of law to restrain the individual for the benefit of the muss and restrain the mass for the benefit of the individual. Burke says law is benesi- cence in action. Law is restrictive and protective, and should also be preventive. ‘The benevolent may continue to give, but we should not force them to give when by judicious legislation we may largely remove the causes which render their benevolence a necessity, Some of these causes are beyond the reach of preventive laws, but there are others whieh can and should be removed. Our chorities are addressed to two classes—the impecnniows and the pecunious. | The impecunious are niade up of two classes—the unfortunate and the idle. The unfortunate are those who have lost their property or employ- ment or health and are poor from ono or all these causes, These are to be pitied and aided. If sick, send them to the hospitals; if well, give them work. But the intentionally and habitually idle should be com- pelled to work. Laws should be made to meet the yicious and indolent, and in the provisions of such laws the tramps should be to. Prohibitory laws should be enforced against the importation of upera from other countries and their reshipment jen again should be insisted upon. The bright side of New York will be mile considerably brighter by a vigorous system of missionary effort. We must lead the musses of this metropolis to Christ. 18 BROOKLYN SINLESS?—REY. DR. . HATFIELD DISCUSSES THE COMPARATIVE PURITY OF NEW YORK AND HER SISTER CITIES, Tho Rev. Mr. Hatfield, of the Eighteonth Street Methodist Church, preached a sermon last night on the eubject:—"Do the Recent Crimes and Disclosures Prove New York Worse than Other Citics?’ His texts were:—“Iniquities prevail” and “There is hope in Isruel.” The reverend gentle man said, in substance, during his discourse that from the press, platform and pulpit the an- nouncement is made that iniquities prevail, that crime is on tho increase, and that this city (which contains no inconsiderable portion of the country’s population) is infected with s dreadful contagion and is as corrupt as were tho cities of the old times. We ato told by « distinguished divine who has explored the dark places of this city by night that New York is very bad, that it is & moral cesspool, and that it is a wonder wo are not swallowed up by an earthquake or destroyed as were Sodom and Gomorrah. There can be no ques tion that crime and © wickedness abound in our city; bat thet it is worse than others in the land, or that all the wickedness is on this side of the East River may be fairly questioned, That the “ity of Churches” is withont a den of infamy is more than the Brooklyn preacher can make us be- lieve. But the idea of that city’s yoodness is a capital mivertisement for those who want to rent or sell hones in Brooklyn. But a little expidration by the Police officials at midnight in that city would reveal wome things that have not yet been disclosed to my brother in the nrlir fe as much iniqnity in Chicago or San Francisco as New York. Here is & paradise compared with London, Paris or Viens; but f am not here to paint the bright or dark sides of New ‘ork, nor to make invidious conrparivons bewveen this city and others, nor to apologize for wrong, nor to make it appear that we are more righteous than we are, but toc tention to the fact that crine and wicked ; that they seem to be inerean- ing rather than diminishing; and this fact onght to oovasion alarin aniong the friends of good order, and lead them to inquire the cause of this state of things and the best means for their removal. scarcely a day passes that We are pot shocked by tho report of somo brutal murder, daring robbery, astounding fraud of gigantic burglary. In addi. tion to these the grave, heretofore. supposed to be too anered a spot to be desecrated, is opened by sacrilogions hands, robbed of its teedeures, anid neither the skill of the detectives nor the large amount offered for the arrest and punishment of the criminals has been effectual. HUMAN DSPRAVITY TO PLAME. Now, what are the chief causes for crime through- out the land? The first reason is to be found in tue depravity of human nature; the second motive is money. Human life and property would be safe but for the inordinate desire for money. Thero is nothing too mean or degraded; nothing too daring or pro- fane that men will not do tor money. 1 attri this general demoralization that prevail the extravagances i living thet were brats ly the Inte war, aud the reaction in consequence of the shrinkage in values which nécosaarily followed, If we look for sfartier solution of the problem of the prevalence.of crime in our city wo shall find it in. the mixed population composing it. There are among us forty nationslities, representing 400,000 foreigners, who help to make up the population of New York. They have been arriving at the rate of 200,000 a year, an@ I would uot prevent their com- ing,’ because it would be contrary to the genius and spirit of our government to erect a barrier against immigration. Statistics show that of 5,000 arrests in this city, made in one year, a large propor- tion of them was of foreign birtl, and that this large element has much to do in sheping our municipal affairs. They brought with thei their rationalistic, comrunistic, ayti-Christian, unti-temperance senti- ments, and are scattering them widely among the one Another and more prolific cause of crime is ‘he dram shop, There the plans are laid for theft, burglary, arson, murder and other crimes, It is the opinion of men in the legal profession that if the drum shops in this city were closed there would be little use for police — officers, little business in the courts, and three- quarters of our jails would be ctupty. ‘To remedy this evil some say make the penalty’ more severe. ‘This was tried and it failed. Others say multiply the number of the police force; instead of 2,500, let there be 25,000 officers. The churge has been made that our system of police is defective. I repel this slander on the character ot the police, some of whom are the best men that walk the streets, Because every crimi- nal is not detected the charges of complicity and in- efficiency are mado; whereas, after so much udroitness and study on the part of criminals, the wonder is that they are discovered as quickly as they are. HOW TO REMEDY THE EVIL. As the chict cause of all moral bea | is the cor- ruptness of the human heart it would seem wise to begin at the source in ordor, to remedy the evil. ‘We must labor to improve mah’s moral condition; he must be educated to sce the wrong, and that he is accountable for his actions. The means for the ac- complishment of this work is in the Gospel. New York is was myer over to Satan, as some think, There fare dark places, wicked men ‘and deeds of infamy among us; but here we have 490 churches—400 Prot- estant churches—with a membership of 80,000. There are 420 mission and Sunday schools, in which 120,000 children are beng trained for usefulness here and heayen hereafter. We have an open Bible, an un- trammelled pulpit and a press that speaks boldly on all questions pertaining to the public good. Let us sustain the mission schools, the churches und tract and Bible societies, These are our great bulwarks against the increasing tide of sin and iniquity. ‘There is hope for New York, though it has its evils; but with all these it has a great deal ot good. Do you tell me that vice is mighty? Virtno is mightier. Is crime alarming? There is powcr in the Gospel of Christ to overcome all wrong and make our city as the garden of tile Lord. STANDARD HALL, LECTURE BY PROFESSOR FELIX ADLER ON THE “MISSION OF RELIGION.” The mission of religion is to contend against ego- tism, said Professor Adler, yesterday morning. In attempting to do this we should be careful to avoid two dangets—that of asking too much and that of asking too little, There is a legitimate regard for our own interests; we have duties toward ourselves, and those who inveigh against this fall into contempt and their influence is specdily paralyzed. But we must not ask too little, either; there are some who say that even when we perform some act of unselfishness it is#with reference to personal satis- faction: Iam gratified to feel that it is I who am capable of such self-sacrifice. Now, it is true that there must be a consciousness of my personality as the starting point of the virtuons action, otherwise it would float in air and blow nowhere; but be- cause this is trae it does not always follow therefore, the objective end of the action. fact of egotism as an inherent element of human nature must ‘be opposed the other fact of sympathy as equally native in our hearts. Sympathy may mean joy in the joy of others, or fellow feeling with others pain; both ‘are spontaneous impulses. It is incomprehensible why persons should desire todispnte what is the source of 40 much that is beautiful and noble in life; even the higher, animals are capable of uxselish feel- ings. Darwin relates the story of a baboon which came to the rescue of a younger animal of the same troupe which was surrounded by the dogs, though he risked his own satety in so doing. There was no calculating self-interest in the mind of this brute; only a strong natural impulse of sympathy with a fellow brute in distress. Do they credit us with less natural unself- ishness than baboons? ‘THE AIM OF RELIGION. < If the mission of het Wes is to subdue egotism, sympathy is ite ally and instrument. All the great reformers have understood that this is so; they ap- jerern to the social aympathies more powerfully than ad before been done in their age and people, and the social sr apes of the masses led them to triumph. Buddha brought the message of equal rights to the lowest orders of the Hindoo system of caste; Jesus annonnced to the fishermen and mountaineers of Palestine that “the last should be first and the least greatest,” they that were last and least to become as the greatest. Savonarola, in modern times, recommended his system of re- ligious reforms by practically attempting the politi- cal enfranchisement of the citizens of Florence. We also must base our social sympathies it we would build up gennine religious reform. If we would wait until the majority are intellectually ripe tor what is called free thought we should haye to wait too long, but we can make them morally ripe; we can teac them to appropriate with their sympathies what they fail to grasp with their understandings. Professor Adler then went on to show at some length the insnfticioncy of mere sympathy us a prin- ciple of conscience. First, because it if uncertain and capricions and arbitrary; there is yo pro, ort! between the degree of our compassion unu the actual deserts of the sufferer, In the second place, syimpa- thy fails as a safeguard in cases where wrongdoing is connected with joy instead of pain. When men follow their animal passions sympathy does not stand between to warn them, but rather leads on the eyil Ten® in them, because they give Joy even while tl are sin- ning. Our morality is too much based on sentiment. ‘This will not suffice; principles alone can avail to make the senses serve the soul. Lastly, sympathy fails because it often leads to the very 0] bo of what is desirable, Meu dread the sight of pain and -flee from it, even because of the exquisiteness of their sympathies, It is remarkable indeed that the one philosophy which makes sym- pathy the basis of cthics, and the two religions which are pre-eminently founded on sympathy, unite in advininng men to escape the ills of the world by light. The philosophy is that of Scho- benhaner, The two religions are Bnddhism and Christianity, All three declare “The world is bad— abandon the world.” The religion of conscience ad- vances and says likewise, ‘the world is bad; but it Lec catty shalt et it better.” guage petul; it preacl larger duties as the salvation ot mankind and righteousness as the light of the ages, “at HOME AND ABROAD.” St. Anne's Church, corner of Front and Gold streets, was crowded Jast evening, the occasion being a lec- ture by Rey. Bernatd McHugh. The reverend gon- tleman has travelled very extensively in foreign lands, and the subject of his eloquent discourse was mainly devoted to a passing glance at some of the old capitals of Europe, from & religious as well as an historical Point of view. So graphic and pictur- esque wero his descriptions of some of the time- honored landmarks abroad that one even thoroughly conversant with the scones and situations set forth could not fail to be delighted with the lecturer's method of imparting his views. The lecture was dee by grand musical Vespers, Rev. Father foMoel, the pastor, officiating. Father Mclingh was moat felicitous in the style in which he described his travela in London, Paris and Edinburgh. ‘Tho jecturer said of Dublin, the tal city of Ireland, that it stands to-day the first Catholic city in the world. Jn that city more perhaps than any other the mune of a great and learned orator like Bossuet, or Bourdalouo, or Massillon called together » Catholic Pare gee that could follow him in his highes! hta of eloquence, and on whom hia most allusions to the recondite and abstruse would not be thrown away. It has long, even in Handel's day, been an axiom with composers and playwrights that what would i muster with o Dub- lin wudience would rank as first class anywhere clea, ‘The lecture was listened to with earnest attention by the large audience aud ina secular building would have won the heartiest of own for the learning and keonness of observation by which it was marked.

POLICY OF THE RADICAL DEMOCRACY. aa How Colored Men Were Prevented from Voting. PROTEST OF A. HAMPTON DEMOCRAT. The following letter, addressed by Mr. James B, Campbell, of Charleston, a life-long democrat, to, the democratic voters of Charleston county four days be- fore the recent election, gives @ scorching and in- structive exposure of the misconduct of the extreme democratic leaders in the State before the election. It will be seen that they procured the passage of a law applying to the black country, which made it impos- ble for the full negro vote to be cast; they rejected a proffered alliance of the colored voters; they repu- diated the Hampton policy of conciliation and jus- tice; they denounced all democrats who hesitated to act with them, and it remains only to say that when the election came on they stuffed the ballot boxes with fraudulent tickets and counted in their own men in defiance of law and justice. The following is Mr. Campbell's Ictter. He is a promixent lawyer of Charleston, a man of the highest character and social standing, and though elected he ‘was counted out because he chose to stand up for jus- tice and right :— To THE Democratic VOTERS OF CHARLESTON County :. ‘Ten days ago I addressed you to announce myself a candidate for re-cletion.

I acquiesced and accepted just as I was lewing the State on a profes- sional engagement ut Washington. During my absence the Democratic County Con tion met snd unanimously ratified the nomination. ‘This was done without one word or sigu trom me to induce it. ‘ No pledge was required of me to abide by its ac- tion, It was well understood and known that I would give none and would act independently of the Convention and committee in the matter of receiving yotes from any quarter that might offer to support me after I had been put in nomination. As to my opinions upon public affairs generally, and especially as to the policy of the party with re- apect to the colored vote, they were also well known, and for that reason { suppose I was not asked to make any pledges. ‘hoy were open to be expressed to the Convention, to its committee or to individuals, high or low, that should ask.

During the last session of the Leyislatnre a bill came from the House reducing the nuniber of voting precincts in this county, It came without any notice to me@from its promoters. During its reading my attention was called to so much of it as ap) our county. HOW VORING WAS PREVENTED. The number of protincts was reduced about one- third in the city and about two-thirds in the country, compelling the voter in some instances to muke a round journey of even forty miles, others of twenty, twenty-five and thirty miles, and in the greater num- ber of cases from five, ten and fifteen miles. Most of the voters «re laboring men, pour and without means of transportation. ‘In St. Andrew's parish, consisting of Jumes” Island and the main territory, the poll on the main was abolished, and that on the island only retained, with &@ navigable stream to crores, and no bridge nor regu- larly kept be Tcalled the attention of the Senate to these omissions, and moved their restoration. It was done, and the amendments made without objection or a dissenting voice. on © investigation I found that the timo for keeping the polls, compared with the number of voters, made it uext to impossible to feceive all the votes, and qnite easy for partisan managers to defeat the largest-part of the votes, Thus the time allowed is 720 minutes. On John’s Island the number of voters is not less than one thousand, ‘There is now but one precinct, two hav- ing been abolis! The timo therefor allowed to wach voter ior the required oath, statement of name, residence, registration aud for such questions as any one or all of the managers may please to ask, is leas than foriy-lve 6vOvlGS, less than three-quarters of a aniunts, Is any further explanation necessary? For the honor of Charleston £ hope uot. Subsequently the Vill came back irom the ise with the amendments disagreed to. ‘Then it was that General Gary sppeared as the representative of the Charleston democracy, aj pointed by the chairman of your exevutive ‘¢: mitte., He announced that your chairman had instru him w say that your committee wished the bi pass without the amendments, and: had asked him to so inform the Senate. then denounced the measure as @ barefaced viola- tion of the pledges made, and repeated again and gain, not only to the colored people, but to the whole @untrs. 1 was not measured in the terms “I used; they necd not be repeated. Koch one of you, according to his value of tair play, justice and good faith, will fancy what Isaid. What do you say to such legizlation or ih for it? Inow say it is disgraceful to the da blot on its good name. ‘The Senate went with General Gary and the com- mittee. Then it was that 1 pledged myself to make the question before you if the time should come ant esk whether you approve and stand on such legisla- tion or reject it. It is simply this and nothing else :—Does the democracy of Charleston mean to dis- regard and break its plighted faith made before the whole country? Your Convention gave its. judgment and made the time for trial when it rejected me. Its judgment is now on appeal before you. It is not a contest between two candidates. If it were there would be no contest, for I would not be in it. ‘The battle is over a question of morals and char- acter—I represent one side, the committee and their nominee the other side, You are to give j ent. It cannot be against me personally. for 1 have no personal wishes in it. My wishes are for what I believe the policy of the democratic party of Chairles- ton and of the State. Ihave none other in thi inatter. My conflict is with the committee, not with tho party. It is within the party and betore it*not with the personnel of the commnittec, but with its policy. ‘That there is a deep-wented and widespread dissetis- faction with the administration of our party cannot be successfully denied. The fact is nt and weil known. The causes are not difficult to find nor to understand, i seme memeocnaess goss. ‘There are already two distinct and opposing politt- cal ideas pervading the democracy Fao the Ntate. Upon one idea rests the poliey which those who tench it call “the aguressive policy.” It is typified by forcible intrusions into republican meeti: clabaing to divide time and by the disgraceful precincts law have described. It had its initial and historteai illas- tration in the maesucre at Hainburg—the Glencoe of the nineteenth century—the Decus aut Dolor ot South Carvlina, as may suit the taste of those who may con- template it, The glory of its paternity is dipmted and Edo not venture to decide, ts zealous organ is a Georgia newspaper, which lately undertook to sup- press Mr. ons, the greatest living Geotian. ‘Tho result of that adventure diminished the roeaca of its ainbition. It now poises its wings to an humbler flight. Iam its prospective victim ‘‘st all hazards,” We shall seo. The other idea was promulgated Governor Hampton thronghout the SS of 1676, and since then, in his utterances at tom in at Blackville di the summer, and but just now at luring Beaufort. The policy which rests upon that ides = most properly be called Hampton's policy. The }, but thus rar concealed, conflivt is to be between these two ideas. Tho democratic organization of Charleston county favors and endeavors to enforce the “aggressive policy. It does enforce it upon its candidates, The substantial conservative material of the Charlestoh democracy adheres to the Hampton policy. Another eloment, not less Lye ad but more im- Puleive, active, impatient and restless, adheres to the other policy. It ie the power which to-day governs Charleston, Lem for and stand to Hampton's policy, I am un- compromising in my opposition to the other policy. Thatia my position. It is irreconcilable to the prac- tice and power of the “aggressive policy.” That policy i# tounded in bad faith and hopeless of good in this county. There is in Charleston county # numerical radical majority of not less than from five thousaud to six thousand votes, No matter how much we may dis- like to admit it, we cannot change the fact, for we have to deal with it ae itis. This great rity con- tains but a limited number of persone who are by education or ability fit for or qualified to bo represen- tative men. sae Celera of such # state of things is that their votes have more than ones been offered and preseed npon nominees of the Demoeratic Conven- tion.

I will now at the time of my election I denied all the organization in power:— At the election of 1876 the radical nominations re- ceived about six thousand more votes than our nomi- nees, ‘The seventeen persons thus elected to the House, where the upper country held undisputed power, were ojected from their seats upon the pretext that the white men of Charleston had been intimidated and thus a fair clection prevented. It was a bitter, unmerited and grievous insult to Charleston, But it was accepted. It might hi been spared and the purpose accomplished by ex- pulsion or by allowing resignations. A REPUBLICAN OFFER. When @ new election was to be held the committee of the radical purty made a written proposition that neither party should make party nominations, and that a full delegution, all orthodox democrats, should be elected. Fitty naines were submitted as speci- mens of what ‘was? meant, but with the careful declaration that they wore mentioned not to limit the field of choice, but to illustrate what sort of men was meant. I had encouraged with such influence as I could apply the making of _ this offer. It was the opening of «halfway house and the opportunity for s permanent solution of further contests in this county. The Proposition was not accepted, nor, as I have undcr- stood, was it treated to the civility of an answer, It ‘was strangled in the committee; was never subinitted to the public for its opinion. This is history. Imake no further comment, except to say that men who being intrusted with the duty of lifting.a minor- ity into power and could reject such an opportunity have not the political sagacity, to say no more of them, that ought to im confidence, From that time I have offered no allegiance to the muchine that proposes to work the demo- cratic party of Charleston. Under its auspices and policy there is no hope of making the county democratic, because it will not allow its nom- inees to be supported by the majority. Lam repronched because I will allow the vote of the majority to come to nie. ‘The great effort of the campaign of 1870 was to ob- tain these votes. It partiully succeeded. Governor Hampton, more than any othet man, bas it. It is no Teproach to him. He has the confidence of the col- ored voter because he makes no promise that he does not intend to keep. He practises good faith and jus- tice to the colored people, and they have taith in him. The democratic committee of Charleston procured a law which is a fraud upon any promise to give the colored voter a fair chance to vote. it, and for that reason he says he will nd, being @ candidate, why should I not you why glance to allow him? Thave not run after him, made speeches to him prs forced him to hear me, as the committee has one. In truth, the committee wishes the vote upon a dif- ferent theory, if atall, They will not have it upon the easy termes of good faith to the negro. That’s their only trouble. Icannot help them in it nor out of it, Ephraim is joined to his idols. Let him alone. few words for the visiting orators, There is-no one but themselves better informed than I am of the true purpose of their visit and why they were invited. Itis true I am an obstacle in their way—the somewhat cause of their prospec- tive bitter disappointment. But it is not against me that they rally 50 promptly and with such frantic zeal. They look further and higher. The next con- test, if they can secure Charleston, will be with the Hampton policy, opea oud avowed, and with and against him as soon as they seo their way, Earth- works may be too strong to be battered down: they may be undermined and destroyed, Teonsider myxelt fortunate, and I am happy and proud, that I do stand in their way and thet T tnay possibly be the instrument to save Charleston from being inconsciously betrayed and surrendered to that political school or idea which they so harmoni- ously represent.
