Postmaster Boone Interviewed. From South Carolina Direct--A Tale or Violence and Fraud. The following tale of terror is told in the Wheeling, (West Va.) Intellgencer Mr. Boone, of Newberry, South Carolina, was in the city yesterday. He is a native of North Carolina.

but has lived in South Carolina for twelve years past, and is postmaster at Newberry, which is an important town near the centre of the State. lie is also an intelligent and respectable geu tleman and a Republican. le gives some interesting political experience. all 'of which go to confirm what the Democrats are pleased to term the "bloody shirt" stories of the Radicals. or, as the Wheeling Register would express it, the "base fabrications" of carpet-baggers.

Mr. Boone is not a carpet-bagger. IIe is what the native rebels down there term a "scallawag" -which means, in their eyes, a recreant Southerner-that is, a person who does not go in for bull-dozing the regro and defrauding him at the polls of his vote, and who sympathizes with the Republican party. He says that his county has a Republican majority of about but that such is the terroism that has been inspired by violence and fraud that the party has pretty much quit voting, and allowed the Democratic bull-dozers and tissue ballot stuffers to have. their own sweet way.

He was asked whether the claims of the Democratic papers that the negroes voluntarily vote the Democratic ticket is true, and he replied that it was far enough from being true. They are Republicans altaost to the very last voter among them, and the sight of a Democratic negro voter is one of the very kind. IIe knew of two negroes who were called Democratic voters who carried two sets of tickets to the polls as a blind, but when about to deposit their ballots took good care to put in the Republican ticket. This they did from the necessity of their surroundings, as we could easily show if it was just or prudent to particularize them. Mr.

Boone fully confirms the stories about the violence and blood shed, that have so alarmingly paralyzed the opposition to complete Democratic sway in the South. He. tells of the tragic fate of numbers of leading Republicans who have stood at the polls in order to see that the negroes were not imposed on in the mattcr of tickets-tickets distributers as they were called. Incredible as it may seem, he says that nine out of ten of those men paid for their activity and prominence with their lives. They were shot on some pretext or other at the polls, or by the wayside, or in their cabins.

It was not an unusual thing some time ago for the Democrats to arrange a row at the polls-a sham fuss among themselves-during which they would shoot negroes around the polls, killing; or maiming them, taking good care to single out the most prominent and influential among them. Sometimes assaults of this kind: would find a pretext in stories about an intended attack on the part of the negro0 The approved method ns vogue is to stuff the ballot boxes with bogus Democratic tickets. It is less tronblesome, and more effective than shopting. This follows as a sequence to the former method. The negroes being demoralized and under cow, it is easy to poll a big vote, and let it pass as a negro Democratic gpte.

Mr. Boone says that while he has nothing to comnplain' of in the way of intercourse with his political opponents, yet his social ostracism is about as complete as it could well be. He receives next to no consideration at all in sccial life. And simply beeause he is a Republican. Some time when his term expired, an effort was made to prevent his reappointment.

A petition to this effect was presented by Congressman Aiken to 'Rostmaster-General Key. Mr. Key askedif there were any charges against The Congressman had to say ntwant him reappointed. The Post- master-General replied that it was not thie policy of the Departmeot to pay respect to petitions of that sort, and sent Boone a new commission. This circum.stance he alladed to simply to show.the lengths to which Democrats go down there to make life among them annoying and intolerable for Republicans of any prominence or activity.

He had been careful to not talk politics to them, simply because he knew it was idle to do so, but the that he was a "scalawag" was an unpardonable crime in their eyes. The readers of the 1ntelligencer can judge from the actual experience of Mr. Boone under a Bepublican administration about what the lives of Republicans would be, in any point of view, under a Democratic administration. If they have no social recognirtion or freedom of citizenship now, 'what will be their fate when their bulldozers have complete control under the patronage and favor of a Democratic administration Gov.

Suns. ('to I)EA SIR You will please file in the office of the Secretary of State this my resignation above. Respectfully. W. D.

SIMPSON. After the filing of this paper the oath of office was administered to (ioveruor Jeter by Judge McIver, and the office was formally turned over to the new incumbent. Governor Jeter immediately issued his proclamation announcing the event. The change occurred very quietly, and some time afterward was spent in Governor Simpson in retiring, furnished the following to the press CoLUMBIA, September 1, 1880. To the People of tlc State of South Carolina-I have to-day resigned the office of Governor of the State of South Carolina for the purpose of qualifying as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

This act lifts from my shoulders the heavy responsibility which has rested upon me for the last eighteen months as Chief Magistrate of the State, and in that point of view it brings relief, but at the same time it has suddenly sundered the relations which have existed between you, the people, and myself during this period. These relations have been most pleasant and agreeable to we, made so your confidence, encouragement and support extended to me at all times in the discharge of my official duties. and when the time has come for their severance they have been broken with more regret than I had anticipated. For this your uniform kindness, permit me as my first act after resignation to acknowledge umy heavy indebtedness to you and to tender the sincere thanks of a most grateful heart, and permit me to say further that you may rest assured that amid the important duties incident to the high office of Chief Justice which I expect sceu to assume, this past confidence on your part will not be forgotten. On the contrary it shall ever be remembered and shall nerve me to the utmost in the faithful discharge of those duties.

In turning over the office of Governor to my successor, I am gratified to believe that the State is in a comparatively prosperous condition, more so, I think, than at any time since the war, and with the promise of a still better and brighter future. Peaee and good-will prevail generally, the rights of all are secure, the laws are faithfully, fairly and firmly adminis bred, and the people in every portion of the State, safe under the protecting wing of a just State Government, arc bending all their energies with great success towards individual progress and general recuperation. To this end every act and aim of mine has been directed, and no one rejoices more in this success than myself, and while I am not vain enough to believe and do not claim tha. my administration has been the cause of this happy state of things, yet I have a proud satisfaction in believing that it has thrown no obstacle in the pathway of the State's progress, and at least that the RepubliC has suffered no detriment at my hands. The remainder of my term has now devolved under the law upon the Hon.

T. B. of Union, President of the Senate, who, will conduct it to a safe termination, at the same time reflecting great credit both upon the State and himself by that purity of character, ardency of patriotism and soundness of judgment which he possesses in such eminent degree. Now, invoking upon the people of the State, individually and collectively, the richest blessings of a beneficent Providence. I beg to subscribe myself, very respectfully, your fellow-citizen.

A Famnily Joint D)iscussion. ongressman Aiken's Eccentricities-His Remarkable Speech at Townville. Anderson Inte1Uigencer. On last Saturday afternoon the citens of Townville and vicinity, who had attended the Grainge meeting during the morning, reassembled for the purpose of hearing some political speeches. Maj.

George W. Merrit, President of Fork Democratic Club, No. 2, presided, and introduced as the first and principal speaker for the afternoon Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken, the nominee of the Democratic party of the Third District for Congress.

Col. Aiken spoke almost entirely upon National politics. He gave his reasons for preferring Hancock to Garfield for Presiden. and arraigned the Republican nominee for the lack of moral courage and an undue love for money. He expressed the opinion that if Garfield should be elected, our people will never see another Presidential election, but that the country will drift rapidly into somec consolidated power at Washington.

lIe complimented Garfield's ability, but said he is totally unreliable, and that his election would forebode the greatest misfortune to our government. C2ol. Aiken then arraigned the Northern Democrats for insincerity and prejudice towards the South. lHe said that the North only allowed the South a very small proportion of the apprm. they had the brains, the money and the culture of the North, and were m11ore to his ta.st:- than the I )eorats.

'r. and thought this the 'rovt ir(uble the Democrats will encounter in the Presidential elcetion. He said that the host of office holders in the Vnited states exercise great inIilen.ce, all of which will be given to in order to retain their own positions. ie thought the contest in Indiana a very important one to the Democrats. for if we carry mndiana we t.

we will carry the Presidential election. but if we lose Indiana then we have very little prospect of success. Col. Aiken closed his speech by saying that if there is a Democrat in South (arolina he is one from head to foot. How to Get Sick.

THlE CHARACTER OF THE MfLK depends mnch upon the food upon which the animal is fed, and unless stall fed cows are fed exclusively on grass their milk will be almost always ac'id. Cows fed upon cabbWage, turnips an brewers' kas give a milk unfit for the use of infants, as it causes diarrhoa and cutaueous eruptions. Nothing contributes more to maintain the good quality and qjuantity of the milk than the scrupulous cleanliness of the shed or stall. When refuse matter is not promptly removed, tihe milk has a bad taste and odor of which it is difficult to deprive it.

Milk is a great absorber of all odors and gases, therefore it is necessary that it should never be kept in the same room with vegetablcs, fruits, fish, oils, meats or sour milk. Experience has shown that the effect ofs BOILTNG1 THlE MTLKA checks its tendency to sour and extracts a portion of its cream.

But this is out of the question. lhere are two alternatives to us: 1st. Let politics alone 1nd allow the State and County to back into the hands of the gnorant and corrupt Radicals or, 2nd, Go promptly to work and nake every exertion and sacrifice retain the fruits of our victory 1876. There can no longer be my doubt that the Radicals will make a hard fight in this State to 3arry its electorol vote and to win back several of the Counties that have been wrested from their grasp.

these efforts they will receive the moral and material aid of the National Republican party. All the talk about the North's not sending money to South Carolina is a and a snare, intended to Lull the Democrats into a feeling of security. At the recent meeting of the National Committee in New York the members of the Committee, in open session, spoke in opposition to sending funds to aid the Southern Repulticans but this session was followed immediitely by a secret session that was the real business meeting, the other being only designed for effect. The negroes in this State, certainly in this County, are as thorughly organized as they were in 1876, and it will require just as hard work, or harder, to overcome them. The Democrats should set about their work at once, and earnestly ind vigorously urge on the fight.

not sufficiently organized the arganization should be completed it once, and the campaign of 1876 should be repeated with increased and We have two conths for the campaign, and there an immense amount of work to done in that time. Every should stand ready to do his aart. If we be united, ear'nest and selfsacrificing we will win the vicory but, if, on the other hand, we divided, indifferent and disposed take our ease we will meet with tertain defeat-and such a defeat is no trueo son of South Carolina emLf contemplate without a shudder. 'ol. Aiken and the Northern Democracy.

Col. Aiken has broken out again ni a speech in Anderson County a ew days ago, as reported in the nltelligencer, he took occasion to na1ke a bitter attack on the Democracy. This seems to be sort of hobby with our Congressan. At the big Democratic meetrig at Newberry in the campaign of .876 he spoke the same sentiments are contained in his Townville peech, and reiterated them in his amous letters a year ago in the harleston News and Courier. What Col.

Aiken has in view in his irades against the Northern it is impossible to conceive. course is certainly not calculaed to help the National D)emocracy its fight for the Presidency. If 'ol. Aiken can say nothing good of ur Northern allies he ought to ave the good sense and prudence keep silent on the suLbject. If he Northern Democrats are not hat they ought to be if they enortain erroneous political views Sthey are not friendly to the South, ey are certainly more in accord ith the sentiments and interests of1 he Southern people than the are, North or South.

It poor policy to be squabbling and in the face of a common nemy. If there are evils to be orrected within the National party will be time enough to do it after he party gets into power.

An incident of the day, which came under our personal observation, and we are off As we sat by our open window watching the surging crowd and their way to the Spring Park, our attention was arrested by what to us was a very grand. solemn sight.

Years ago, when but a child, we have lingered hours in the gloaming listeng to him sing his wonderful songs, laudng Seymour, ridiculing Grant, and from that day to this he has never swerved in his fidelity to the Demoratic cause. Fearless and truthful he stands amid his race a living monument of constancy. 'We had on a visit from two friends whom it has not been our pleasure to see in some time, Mr. W.

Mr. Mauldin tarries but a few days in our midst, thence to Anderson, where he will engage in business with the firm of Ligon Hill.
