SON'S BOCTnRRN CAMPAIGN.
Charleston, S. 0.. May 8. Senator Wilson
"was called on to-day by quite a number of cltl
reus. Their intercourse was pleasant and
egret able.
In compliance with a numerously signed re
quest be delivered an add reus tins evening in
Citadel square. An Immense assemblage of
colored Teople was on the ground, probably five
thousaid. A few hundred white persona were
also among the audience. Mr. Wilson spoke
from a stand which was hung with flags and
evergreens.
l)1r-ctly facing him wra the large pile of
kalidlng known as the Citadel, and which was
vised before and during the war as the State
Military Academy, From its tlagHtaff floated
the national bun nor, Aud bull-a-dozeu large
Held guns were trained in front of its wide
portal. It Is utted as the headquarters of the
garrison. The tents of a colored company are
pttcheii In one quarter of the treeless and
thru bleu square, and sentries, white and black,
paced up and down their respective posts, Sol
diers loitered around and made part of the au
dience, and occasionally the beat of a drum or a
bugle noie Interrupted the (Senator's speech,
recalling the fact that the Government here Is
essentially military. It was near Ave o'clock
when Mr. 'Wilson came on the stand. The sun
waS then killing fiercely on the scene, but be
fore the speech was finished the sun had gone
-down.
It. A. G. Mac key, formerly a practising phy
sician here, now Collector of the Port, presided
mr the meeting, and Introduced Mr. Wilson
as a profound statesman and distinguished
legislator, from whom the people Wished to
learn something of the objects of recent legisla
tion. It was In order that they might have that
opportunity that he had reluctantly consented
to -preside.
Prayer was offered by Mr. Randolph, a colored
clergyman, and then Mr. Wilson, who was
.loudly cheered, proceeded to address the large
assemblage of blaok men and women before
biua. He commenced by stating that he was
here by invitation, and that no one but him
self was responsible for what be should say. He
then proceeded to recount the history of Houth
Caroiiijand of her leading men in champion-
log the existence, perpetuity, and extension of
slavery in America. The conflict, be said, con
tinued from 1776 till the opening of the Kebel-
lion.
Up to that time It was a conflict of sentiment
and opinion, but with the opening of the Rebel
lion it btcame a conflict of ainm. After four
bloody years liberty had triumphed, and
slavery had died to rise no more forever. (Loud
cheers and expressions of gratifications by the
colored people.) lmring the past two years, he
continued, since the surrender of Lee's armies,
and since the old Una went up again over
Sumter, we have had again a oonfliot of opi
nion, and it required no foresight to see to-day
that freedom cannot be conquered, aud that
the rollcy of equal rights, equal privileges, and
equal immunities, ol all men .In Amerloa.ls
nereaftr to be the policy of this republic. (Ju
bilations by the- negroes.) In all the contllot
South Carolina has borne a leading part,
and has borne the flag of slavery
proudly defiant as the Ark of the Covenant.
Air, Wilson referred, In this connection, to the
elfcrts aud declarations of Hutledge, Plnckney,
But ler, Vaddy Thompson, Hammond, Calhoun,
Keitt, lloyce, and Bonham, In Congress, aud to
the forcible expulsion from Charleston of Mr.

Carolina law, and imprisoning colored sailors
in her ports.- Continuing his remarks, he said
I do not refer to this by way of reproach; I
state it to show the position which your Stale
occupied under her lead. The lalth and creed
of tire Revolutionary fathers was disowned, the
doctrines of Washington, Jefferson and Madi
son were repudiated. Bold aud able young men,
accepting the theories of Mr. Caluoun, became
the enthusiastic champions of human bondage,
and drove the moderate men, the old Jackson
Democrats and the Henry Clay Whigs, out of
the public councils. They boldly and deflautly
proclaimed In Congress their right to carry
slavery Into the Territories,- and to maintain
it there by positive law. And when we, fearing
iim fi'urliiir the verdict of future aires, re
fused to accede to their demauds, they raised
t standard of revolt, and Inaugurated the
Bebt.?on. We fought for four years the men
of the Houth. They exhausted their posses
sions, sent their young men to battle
fields, and made sacrifices which cannot
but win the respect of the world. Their sons
fought with heroio valor on more than six
hundred fields; but the cause of the country,
the caose of humanity, of Christian civilization,
triumphed, aud slavery sank into a traitor's
grave, to leave a traitor's name in the history
ol the republic (Applause by colored men and
women.) This 1- a brief record of the contest
ol ideas from 1776 up to this hour. The fruits of
your Ideas and principles are now clear to the
c mprehension of the whole Christian and
clvi ized w.Tid. You realize that your ideas
iinvn nerished. You may go In yonder
atrett. and naze ou the spot where stood
the hall In which, your gieat proclaina
tion of disunion was nw.e, and you
dnst and ashes, but you cannot ever
see dust and ashes whre the ideas aud princi
ples aud policy oftlieltebellion are to-day. They
8re gOUe, glinimeriug UIU1U mouimiua ui uuiuge
thm were. You are further from them to-day
than you were yesterday, and' you will be fur
ther from hem to-morrow than you are to-day,
(Cheers.) No action of yours, no power on God's
earth, nothing but the power of Almighty God
and He will not exercise It can bring back
again the policy associated wit h human bondage
in America. (Applause.) These men around
- ta ni Ahnnt me are free to-dav as free as the
Governor of South Carolina or the Mayor of
Charles ton. (The colored men ana women oueereu
and waved their bats and handkerchiefs, and a
Degress to illustrate her view oi tne status ex
claimed "Free as de frogs.") Mr. Wilson oon-
tinned: 'They are not only free, butihey are
citizens Ol the great aii-conqaerimi auu uuuuu
nutrable republic of united America. (Cheers.)
. Their rights, privileges, and Immunities are as
' Bacred as those of the oldest families of South
Carolina, and no power in South Carolina or
' out of it can bring back slavery can deny
citizenship to these black men, or place them
before the law in a position of inequality.
(Cheers.) This Is achieved. It lathe will of the
North American republic. I trust you will see
to it that the constitution aud laws of Houth
Carolina are made to conform to these vital,
' triumphing, and loving principles of liberty
and right. I trust that the State or South Caro
line, which led iu this great contest, will turn
her back square on the past and face the
coming future. Every word spoken, every line
written, every act performed, to preserve for a
moment longer anything connected or asso
ciated with human slavery, aud with the po-
" llcv of South Carolina In the past, is only a
burden on South Carolina in the future. I say
to you, men of Charleston, your cause is lost,
and lost forever. Your State, which had her
fortune Invested In lands and bondmen, has
become, in proportion to her numbers, the
poorest State In the Union. No State has felt
theefleofsof this Kebelliou more than South
Carolina. You want capital here to make your
fields blossom again. You want farmers hero;
yon want diversified industry; you want anew
acting, living polioy, to place South Carolina
alongside of the advauoing and prosperous
States of the Union. Then, In God's name.be
as brave In the right as you were In the
' wrong. Send -your able men to the
pnbllo councils. Commission them to speak
' and to vote for liberty, for Justice, for education.
J believe I express the wish of the people of
my State and section, when I tell you to-day
that our people do not want your lands, your
blood, or anything else you possess. They only
' want these poor enfranch' ;d bondmen to be
fortversteured in their txjual rights; they only
want to see your State a great, free, prosperous,
lroud Commonwealth again. Addressing him.
elf specially to the colored people, he said:
You are now the peers aud equals of every
other man in the country in Four rights, and I
trust vou will be theequals of every other man
In devotion to country. In love of liberty, of
lustloe. of education, and of Industry. Vou have
been made free. Ko man can now enter your
cabin, and take from yon the wife of your
bosoui or the children of your iove. (Sensa.
Uuii, wmI mviauri oi L'flo, fw4 hQti.") piOQa
can separate you now. (A n egress, "No, my
Lord, they cannot." Another said, "That Is a
glorious thing") Your rights have now been
wcured, and are hereafter to be secured, In the
Constitutions of all the States. Never vote
unless you vote for your country, which made
you free. (Expressions of assent.) Keglster
your names. ("We will.") Vote forauulted
conntry. ("We will.'') Vote for the old flag.
("We will.'') Vote so to change the Constitu
tion of this State that your 11 Denies may be
consummated and made secure. ("Yes, bless the
Lord.") Cherish no hates nor prejudices grow
ing out of your past relations. Never say or do
anything to provoke a war of races.
Do not hate your late masters. No body of
men since the world began has ever been
riunlnht'd more than they have been punished
n this great contest. Their brave leaders!
Where are they? Defeated; some of them are
in exile, their ideas all lost, every object In their
lives-gone, never to come back again. As the
country grows and becomes the foremost nation
of the globe, their record will grow darker and
darker. It Is a terrible fate. God knows I
would not lay any more burdens upon them.
If the people of South Carolina honestly,
faithfully. In the right spirit comply with the
terms ana conditions of reconstruction, I be
lieve that their Senators and Representatives
if they can take the oath, and they must take It
will be admitted Into Congress, and that the
whole controversy will be settled. Lay down
your platform of principles, invite everybody
to stand upon it, give to all the right hand of
fellowship, and you can carry South Carolina
lor the great Republican Union llberty-lovlng
party of the country by twenty or thirty thou
sand majority. (Cheers.) The lreedmen of
south Carolina hold In their hands the desti
nies of the state. They can pi ice It abreast of
the most liberal and progressive States in the
oountry, or they can be f.dse and recreant, and
let It linger behind the age, the derision of its
enemies and the pity of Its friends. Will
you do the first? (Shouts of "We wllL")
All of you in favor of doing it hold
up your hands. (Thousands of dusky hands
were here elevated.) All opposed to doing
It hold up your hands. (The same number or
bands were again raised, to the great amuse
ment of the white portion of the audience.) Mr.
Wilson set himself to correcting the blunder of
the colored people, and again put the affirma
tive and negative of the question In a way that
could not he misunderstood. This time all
hands were raised in the affirmative and none
In the negative. In the course of some further
remarks, Mr. Wilson declared that the loyal
people ol the country would keep the Govern
ment In the hands of Its friends. North and
South, and that if the persons who are now dis
franchised assist loyally In the work of recon
struction, their disabilities would be removed.
This he stated as his own opinion and belief,
and not by any authority.
Mr. Wilson spoke again in the evening at a
colored mass meeting in Hibernian Hall.
He leaves to-morrow for Beaufort, and will
be in Savannah on Monday,
. EQUALITY IN RAILROAD CARS.
Charleston. May 3. The directors of the
Charleston City Railway Company have volun
tarily adopted the following resolution :
JRriiAvtd, That tbe cars be thrown open to the
public, aud that Instructions be given to tbe several
conductors to recognize the rlgbt of all persons to ride

Charleston, May 38 P. M. The resolution
of the Charleston City Railroad Company, sent
you to-day, was transmitted by the President
of the Comnanv. J. S. Kiirirs. to Maior-Genprn.1
Sickles, who wrote the following in replyt .
Dkab Sir: I have great pleasure In acknowledging
the receipt of your commuoicallou of this data, trans
mitting a resolution of tbe Board of Directors of tbe
Charleston City Railway Company, by which It is
declared that the cars of tbe Company are open to
tbe public, and tbat the rlgbt of all persons to ride
therein is recognized. I trUHt ibis action of your Com
pany will be appreciated hi the right sense. You have
removed an occasion for collision and disorder. You
have added further and emphatic testimony of tbe dis
position of the people of the South to accept in good
lalth tbe legitimate consequences of the enfranchise
ment oi me coiorea race, in me concession or a com
mon riKUt to share privileges conferred for the bene
fit of all citizens. Vou have discharged a plain duty
In the manner most conducive to tbe public interests.
It Is more gralliylng to see tbe citizens themselves
laic i lie lnuiauve in measures leuuing 10 promote
tranquillity, concord, aud peace, than to find myself
constrained to exercUe authority to secure those
ends; hence, I have not yielded to the Impatience of
those who desired to press Ibis question upon the
attention ol the military authorities, feeling confident
that la this, as In other similar mailers, a more satis
factory and permanent solutiou would be found in
the voluntary action of those most Interested In
doing equal justice to the freed people.
I am, sir, very respectfully, I. K. SICKLES.

BBCONSTBUCTION IN BOUTH CAROLINA LETTER
FROM KX-GOVKHNOH PERKY,
Charleston, B. C, May 8. Ex-Provisional
Uwawr Perry pM wrUlea aaoitiw loiter
against calling a Convention nnderthe Military
act. He argues that If called It will be the first
slep towards a general division of landed pro
perly among tho negroes. He says It Is
against nature and reason to suppose that an
ignorant minority will not pursue their
own Interest regardless of right. Thou
sands of unprincipled whites will nulte
their destiny with the negroes for the sake or
spoils and plunder. He thinks It better that
Congress should confiscate the lands, than that
such degradation should be voluntarily ac
cepted, and says he will live under a military
government, no matter how absolute aud des
potic, sooner than vote a negro government for
South Carolina, which every man will do who
votes for a convention. Headvlses every man,
not disfranchised, as he values his life, honor,
and property, and the peace of Boolety. to
register promptly and to vole, indorsing on his
ticket, No Convention."

THE EIGHT-HOUR SYSTEM.
A FKHIAlt RIOT THK8ATEKED IN CHICAGO OKKRRAL
SUSPENSION OP BCBIKBH8 AN ARKKD MOB
PARADING THB STRKBTfl, ETC.
Chicago. May 8. The trouble caused by the
attempted inauguration of the eight-hour sys
tem by the laboring men of this city Is on tbe
increase. The malcontents have received large
additions to their members. Nearly all of the
laboring classes have Joined the movement.
To-day bands of men armed with elubs have
paraded the streets of those sections where
the manufacturing establishments exist, and
wherever labor Is active, notifying employers
to employ no men hut on tbe elgtit-hour plan,
and threatening worklnpmen with vlolenoe in
case they should persist In performing tbe full
amount of work.
Meetings have been held of laboring men In
various parts of the city, at which It has bean
unanimously resolved to work only eight hours
per day. In some cases, willingness nas been
shown to submit to a reduction of wages for tbe
present. Tbe employers stand firmly, warning
tbe discontented, and offering protection to the
workmen. The latter, however, have In most
cases thrown up the r work.
This morning a mob of two hundred closed
all plnoes of labor In Bridgeport. Tbe mob was
finally dispersed by a polloe detachment, by
Whom nine of the ringleaders were arrested.
The authorities are making every exertion to
quell any disturbances that may occur. The
entire force of the city has been specially de
tailed, and one hundred and sixty special
policemen have been sworn In.
The Dearborn Light Artillery holds Itself
ready to proceed to any qnnrter at a moment's
noilce. Owing to the great activity and deter
mination of tbe police, no serious disturbances
have occurred to-day.
The lumber yard, mills, and workshops gene
rally throughout the city are closed, and labor
mostly suspended. It is feared that to-morrow
will witness an outbreak of the spirit of law
lessness and riot. N. Y. World.
' Arrest of the Principal.
Boston. Mav 8. A smart earthquake In finan
cial circles disturbed the equilibrium of opera
tors in Btate street and Its vicinity to-day,
occasioned by the failure of one of the most
extensive manipulators in r ranitiin,uutnooiut,
uancocK, Huron, copper f ans, uecia, etc., in
this cltv. and Oorvdon in New York. At about
3 o'clock this afternoon, Mr, John Lelghton was
arrested ou a process sued out, oynew xors
parties, and conveyed to co nlortaDie quarters,
where tie will be confined, awaiting a requisi
tion from the Governor ot New York.
Ills failure is moderately estimated at a mil
lion of dollars, one house having a claim
against him of near $880,000, while his assets are
Inconsiderable. He was well known as one of
the most dashing outside operators in the
financial arena of the Hub. He was afraid of
nothing, and had the nerve and confidence of a
Hon, as he was among the bears and bulls. His
failure Is now the only theme ot remark In the
streets and at all public places of re-sort, and at
present It Is Impossible to estimate bow serious
the disaster may he in quarters where his tracks
are not covered up.
Arrest of a Boy Accused of Five Murders.
A boy named Fitzgerald, seventeen years old,
has been arrested in Islington, Miss., charged
with five murders. The Lexington (Miss.) Ad
vertiser, speaking of his an est, says:
"The premlsea of his father were surrounded,
and lu a short time he was discovered emerging
from an open field, endeavoring to reach the
woods, some distance off. He was hotly chased,
and was captured after having been struck by a
pistol ball from one of the pursuing party, which
-made a slight flesh wound In tils face and
brought him to the ground. He was carried to
Noxubee county, the scene of bis last crime.
It seems young Fitzgerald killed a negro in De
Boto county, iu this titate, a white man In Ten
nessee, a freedman on bis father's premises
since tbe surrender, and assassinated Mr. John
W. Shileutt on the 2ttth of February last, at
tbe residence of Colonel Richard Cooper, In
thiB county. His crimes culminated in the
murder of Mr. Nunn, of Siimmervllle.on the
12th, and his capture on the 18th."

THE TRAGEDY AT BftKERSVlLLE.
Further Particular.
BVKN1NO TELEOBAPH SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE,
. Auskcom, May 3. This morning the peaceful
community of Bakersvllie. about six miles
from this place, was startled by tne dlsoovery
of a murder almost as great as tbe Bearing
family murder. Mr. James Yeates this mora
les attempted the murder of tils graudctilld, a
little girl eight years of age. The following are
the particulars this morning at 8 o'clock: Ue
went to his son's house twice, and went away.
Me came back trie third time, the little girl
being butty sewing carpet rags for her
mother, when he aaked her If she was going to
tuke a walk with him this forenoon. Hue
replied "No," but she would this afternoon;
whereupon he caught her aud struck her fllrst
on one side of the head and then on the other;
the first blow with the edge of a batcbet, the
second with the top of It. Her mother was lu
the yard, and ber brothers aud slater playing in
the room with her at the time, lie then went
home, took a razor, and went up stairs, and ou
his wife following him he pushed her
buck. He weut to his room aud fixed
a gallows, and getting on a box, first
cut bis turoat, almost severing the wind
pipe, and tben kicked the box from under
himself. His wife giving tbe alarm, some of
the neighbors weut to her assistance, but found
him dead. It was all done lu a very few
minutes. It is supposed he had become Insane,
and on determining to kill himself, ulso
thought of the child, for she was a great favorite
of bin; he has often been heard to say when he
died he wanted her to die also. It seems be has
thought of It some days. Yesterday lie took
tbe little girl outou a pond of water near by, In
a small bout, three different times. It Is stio
poKed he wanted to kill her there, but his heart
failed him. The child Is the daughter of Captain
Washington Yeates.

THE PRISONER
Winnemore, when being brought tin in the van this
morning, bad an epileptic fit. aud when brought into
the coiiri-rooul was deadly pale. Ha sat In the cor
ner of the duck, wlib bis hand to his face, and had the
appearance of one who felt considerable compunc
tions of conscience at something.
1 en jurymen were secured out of tbe regular panel
c:.:arday, and a special panel of nliy was ordered,
returnable at lo o'clock this morning, wnen only one
additional Juror was obtained. Another special
venire of twmuy-Uvs was oroered, returnableat half
puHi 8 tins afternoon, lu order to obtain the remaining
Juror. The Court adlourned until then.
Tbe following are "the Jurors, witb their occupation
and business, thus far obtained:

the parks enticing plaorg of retreat in the midst
of blocks solidly built, and presenting an
almost unvarying mouoiouy of oolor. size, aud
external appearance. The advent of May. not
withstanding It came surlily, brings with It the
return of sweet sougalers, whose thrilling notes
of freedom bear strong contrast wltn the hum
of busy voices, and rattling noises In the streets.
Who does not like to retreat to them? Alder
mania Individuals, who have sat in cushioned
seats all day, are oonlent to crowd, toad-like,
on mushroom stools. Our citizens delight to
walk through theae forest epitomes. Aud the

All ball to these pleasant resorts; would that
we had more of them.
Thb Cash or Oottleib Williams Thb War
rant for His Execution is Read to Him in
His Cell. At 12 o'clock to-day, Brier iff Henry
C. Howell proceeded to the County Prison, for
tbe purpose of reading to Oottleib Williams the
warrant for bis execution on the 4th of June
next, which was signed by Governor Gear v a
day or two since. The BlierlfTwasaooornpanled
on tbe occasion by Mr. Enoch Taylor, his Chief
lrputy; J. E. Baiter, Esq., nis Assistant Soli
citor; Mr, J, It. Chandler, one of the Inspectors;
Dr. Bmlth, the prison pliynlclan; the represen
tative of The &VKNINQ Tklkuapu; and two or
three others.
The cell In which the prisoner is confined Is
on the north corridor or the third floor, letter
E. Its dimensions are about eight by fourteen
feet. To the left of tbe entrance lies a small
mattress upon the floor. Opposite this Is a
small stand or table, and these, together with
a broken-backed chair, comprise all tbe fur
niture In tbe apartment. Tne only things in
addition that Were notioeable were a Bible and
prayer-book, wbich lay upon the floor near tbe
bend of the bed.
The prUoner was dressed in a shabby but
clean uniform suit of brown, and in his right
band he held apiece of a broom-handle, with
the assistance of which he frequently enforced
what be had to say, by bringing It down upon
the floor In an empbatlo manner. His face is
quite pale from long confinement, his lmprl
bonmcnt having laaled, as be himself men
Honed, for eight months.
When the HherlfT and acoompnnylng party
entered the oell, Williams waa Introduced to
the former by the prison-keeper, recognizing
him with a nod of Indifference. Mr. Howell
then addressed him as follows:
"Williams, I am here to-day to perform a
very unpleasant duty. It Is to read to you tbe
warrant which I have received from the Gov
irnor, fixing your execution for the Ithof June,
one month from to-day."
The prisoner nodded his head In response,
muttering the words, "One month" partly as
an exclamation, and partly as a question. The
Sheriff then proceeded to read the death-warrant,
during which the prisoner stood leaning
against tbe wall at the rear of the oell, occa
sionally stroking his face with his hand, but
exhibiting tbe most astonishing coolness and
self-Buflicleticy throughout.
' When the reading of the warrant waa con
cluded, the Sheriff again addressed the pri
soner, assuring blm tbat his doom was now
fixed, and that he must not look for a pardon
or reapite.as there was ho possibility of either.
He therefore exhorted blm to thiuk only of
the future, aod to prepare at once to moot his
fute.
In answer to this Williams responded that he
was ready to die to-day, having repented of all
that he bad ever done. But be waa not guilty
of this thing (referring to tbe murder of Mrs.
Miller), and the time would come when his in
nocence would be proved.
He complained, however, that the minister
who bnd visited him at limes, had not, been to
nee hi in since last Sunday, and that ten days
bad elapsed between tbat visit and the previous
one.
He was told that the clergyman in Question.
the Kev. Thomas Allen, of t he Episcopal Mis
sion, had not attended blm more frequently,
because the Governor bad not, until the pre
sent, fixed tbe day for his execution. Now tba
the time was appointed, it was promised that
Mr. Allen would show him every attention,
and he was exhorted to listen to him, no matter
bow plainly he might talk.
"Yes," exclaimed Williams at this point, "he
did not talk plainly to me last Sunday, saying
I was accused of three other murders, with
which I bad had nothing to do 1"
Tbe prisoner then staled that he would have
preferred a Catholic priest, but he did not
think it best, as be did not wish people to
think that he had made a confession to his
spiritual adviser which would never be mude
public.
He was told that he could have a minister of
any denomination whatever, but he expressed
himself satisfied with what bad been told him.
stating also tbat be had been brought up a
Lutheran, at the church at Fourth and Cherry
streets.
Williams further adverted to a visit which
one of his brothers paid him yesterday, speak
ing of him In the kindest terms. But he stated
that he had another brother In the city who
would have nothing to do with him. lie had
even been compelled to subpoena him on tbe
trial, and then be did not attend, but sent him
word that be "might sutxipuu, and be d d."
In conclusion, he stated that every attention
bud been ehow$ him by the keepers, and he
requested only one more favor a supply of
tobacco, which was furnished him at once.
Throughout the Interview the criminal talked
with the utmost freedom and ease, exhibiting
no apparent emotion, and giving every evi
dence ol a sound and Intelligent mind. Though
cilppled in body, his Intellect is evidently un
impaired. 1
