"Organization" Wc publish ou the first page of litis issue, from the Koowee Courior, one of tlic best Articled wo have yet read on the subject of "organi zation." The article is mainly addressod to the rotors of Oconeo county, but is equally applicablo to the voters of thia County, and wo auk them to read it carefully and weigh the arguments without prejudico. If thoy will do this, we feel assured that no intelligent Domoorat can como to but one conclusion, and that is, that every word ie true, and that the only hope of redemption from Radical thralluuiu lies in thorough organisation ?nd consort of action amongst tho whito neoulo" of llio State.

If (he system should bo adopted, it Will disarm tho opposition of the cry of "clique," or "Court House Iting," This haB beon erne of the strong carda of tho opposition in tho past, and they have boon successful by it in soouring tho aid and support of volors who claim to be Democrats. It has been repoatodly assorted by this class ?f voters, that if the Democrats would adopt some plan of making nominations by which a full and free ?xprossion of prctcronce Tor candidates could be had, they would cease their opposition, and come squarly :nto tho ranks, and voto tho nominated ticket. If tho plan is adoptod, (and wo apprehend but little doubt of it,) an opportunity for tosting tho siucority of their declarations will be atfordod. Every voter in the County, provided ho is a member of some club, will have the opportunity to cast his voto and use his influenco for tho candidate of his choice, for any Connty office. The votes aro to bo counted in the presence of tho club, and (lie name of each oaudidato with the number of votes he receives, sent up through delegates choscn by tlic olub to the County Oonvcntion, when the whole number of votes received by each condidate in all the clubs is to be ascertained, ami I he man recoiving the great ost number, declared tlic nominee of the party, for the ofiioo for which he was voted for. This will be, virtually, an election by the people, and no one can Bay that the candidates were brought out by a "Clique" or' Court House Ring." Tlio mouths of disappointed aspirants, malcontents and disorganize , will be effectually shul 011 this hobby, and tlioy will have to resort to soino other pretext for their ormosition to licmocraov.

Lot thoqe who favor tho plan, but havo not joined any olub, do so at onoo, in order to be able to voto on the question, and if thoro bo any opposed, lot ilio.m join for the same reason.

Mr. John L. Harmon, nged seventy two, and his wife, Mrs. Harmon, aged some fifty years, were murdered by ne groes in their own house. Ono of tho fiends was arrested, when he made a full confession. We have not room for all the particulars of the murder, but clip tho following from tho Kdgefield Advertiser: "The confession of Austin Davis amounted to this: The schcmo had been concocted a week or ton days before tlie pcrpclration.? Some dozen or more negroes were in the secret. The actual perpetrators, however, are the men now under arr st. .Stephen Lake struck Mr. Harmon the first blow on tho head with a .stout dogwood club, then n .second Mow, which fcllod him. Mrs. Hurmon shrieked. Another negro fellow Ktruck hor to the floor, also with a dogwood club. Slic fell faco downwards, nnd was dead. The negro preacher now enters, and, lifting her body, cuts her throat from car to car. The body drops again upon its face?the hands ho hidden that the numerous costly rings were not taken off Ihnm- Tlmn Mm Vimlw t\f Mt> Ilnrmou in turned over. 11 o is not quite dead, and one of the fionds strikes him a torrible blow upon the forehead, smashing it entirely in. And again tho proacher wields his knife. Mr. Harmon's throat is also out from ear to oar. "And now commonces tho saturnalia of plunder. The negro women appear upon the scene, and there lu a "general row" (l)avis') words) over the body. The women wrangle over silk dresses and jewelry, while the men ransack the whole houso. "They strive to distribute the booty "equitably." Everything movable is oarried off And now gallons of kerosene oil are poured upon the bodies of (lie victims, and tho floor in saturated. Mrs. Iliirmon'a hotly is so saturated that when the clothes arc taken oil the skin adheres to them. Then a negro woman applios tlic torch, and the murderers depart. The blood, flowing in streams, mixes with tho oil and stays the flames! "Tho details arc so numerous and so shocking that it is impossible to record them.? Such devlish brutality was never before heard of." Tho criminals were six in number, all colored, their names being: Larkin Holloway, .Stephen Lake, Austin Davis, Marshall Perrin, JelT .S'utilow and I'M Perry. Mr. Harmon was a highly respectable citizen, and before the war was a man of wealth. Since tho war he has not possossed much wealth, though ho was in good circumstan cos. Tiic citizens were ho incensed at the horrible outrage, Ihey at once, ns noon na the guilt of the parties waa clcarly established, resorted to lynch law. The following conclusion of a dispatch to the Nowa and Courier, tells iho rest of the story. The tolegram is dated Abbevilla C, II., May 21th. 'To day they paid the awful penalty of their crimo, the pooplo having decided that (he machincy of the law waa too dilatory a mone 01 treating such wretches. There was no sccrccy whatever in the manner of their execution. The prisoners wore faken forcibly and in broad dnylight from tlie custody of lhe sheriff and shot to death in the presence of three hundred citizens. Tiie firing party was composed of no less than one hundred men, and the hundred shots put ft speedy end to the guilty wretch"1 . Ilolloway and Pen-in were prcachera." I OUR WASHINGTON LETTER Washington, May 24,1870. presidential. Jtt lias bocomo ovidont within tho past wook, that tho Ropublican managora aro laboring to dissominnto tho idea that tho coming Prosidontial oloolion will bingo upon tho Ootobor oloo tion in Ohio. Tho Republican Organs, undor tho immodiato control of tfco party managers horo, announcod immodiato!y aftor tho Domocrntic Convontion in Ohio last wook, that as Gov. Allon was dofoatcd last fall, tho Ropublicans would bo cortain to oarry Ohio in'Ootobor, and that that would rosull in tho dofoat of tho Domoorntic party in tho gonoral clcction inNovombor. This assertion is a slmli~ T> ..? iAk.iK iuw j\u|mi ui luiui uifn, jjuo luitu 111 tuu hopo that it may discourago weakkneed Democrats. I lb uttov falsity in shown by tho simplost calculation.? Thoso Southorn States which wo arc oovtain to oarry, with Now York, Now Jorsoy and Connecticut, will, with tho addition of California and Orogon, givo us a majority in the Electoral Collego, an<l oloct a Democratic President. With a candidate who can carry tho States named, tho Uomocratic party cannot oo uoicntca. A rofcrcnoo to tho figures will show that if wo carry Ohio and Indiana, and loso Now Yorlc and Now Jersey, or Now York and Connecticut, wo shall bo defeated. But if wo carry tho last named States, and loso Ohio and Indiana, will win. Wo don't intond to loso Ohio and Indian, wo intond to carry thorn both. Hut it is just as woll that our llepubliean friends should understand that tho Domocratio party doos not dopend on ihoso Statos for sucoesa, and that thoir loss cannot defeat us. 11 u< Airnim ?nrv nptn uAnuTrn ii ci VJUUII xv# uiji I have ft little story to tell of Mr. Ferry, the Michigan lumber dealer, who presides over tho Senate. Tho Senator ia young, rather good looking, and is unmarriod. lie is a member of the church, President of tho (Jon> grossional Tcmperanco Society, having taken tho placo of Vico-Prosidont Wilson, and has tho reputation of being a romarKaoiy moral man. l have just heard ft story, however, which ruth or shakos my belief in hid excessive chastity. A young lady, good looking, intelligent, and above reproach an regards morality, was riding in tho horso ears the oilier night, with Mr. Fcny, whom she know by sight, sitting vis a vis. Tho Sonator cast sovoral anxious glances toward hor, but recoivod no oncouragomont. Singularly onough, tho businoss ongagomonts of tho Senator required him to leavo the ear at tho sumo timo tho lady alighted. Tho routo thcnco to hor homo lay through a park which a .J i I. ? D i / II 1 mho uutorou, uiu ouiiului ii'iiowing ncr. In ft Bccludcd portion of tho park ho "liovo along aido" of tho young liuly with "Th's is ft boRUtiful overling Miss," "Sir!" roplied tlio astonishod ftnd considerably frightonod iomalo.? "I sav this ia ft lovely evening," res pondod tho Senatorial himbor dealer. Slio Btoppod in tho walk, hoping that ho would pans on, hut ho failed to tako tho hint, and ntjain obtrudod his viows in rogard to tho wcathor. "Sir," said bIio, indignantly, "I know who you arc, nixl if you valuo your roputation 3'ou had hotter pans on. If you daro tii speak to mo again, I will call tho police!" It is needless tu nay that if tho lumber dealer failed lo tuko tho hint, ho minded tho kick, and passed oa without annoying tho young lady t'urthor. MARYLAND IN THE KIF.I,I). Tho friends of Hon. Tlios. Swann, of Maryland, aro nctivoly arid earnestly urging him as a suitable candidate for tho St. Louis nomination. Mr. Swann is a man ot a high order of ability and unblemished porsonal in tog rity, and his experience in public affairs is surpassed Ly very fow men in this country. As Mayor of Baltimore) (Jfivni'iiftr rtf Mnrvlnnil f'.liiilpmnn an important committoo ol tliollouso, President of aovoral Kailroads ho has invariably succoodod.

Mr. Swann'a friends havo booon a littlo too lato in bringing bis namo forward for tbo first ]>l;ico on tho tickot. If, howovor, ho can bo inducod to accept tho oocond placo, it is possible that it will uu lunuuiuu iiiiii, VIRTUK HKWAUDKI). It It am been understood, ovor ninoo ?Snperviftor Tutton, of Ponnyfdvnnia, saved BabcocU from going to the |.eni? lentiary l>y taking upon liiiuscH (lie responsibility of having provontod tho chango of oflioors to look into tho whiskey frauds in Missouri, that ho was to bo rowarded with tho colloor\f f Ka s\( I wvi UIM|/ v/* tliu A VI U \J& JL IJIIMUUI^nilM. That is, having domonatratod that ho was guilty of tho blunder, if not orimo of provonting honest investigation by tho Internal Kovonuo Bureau, and thereby oausing a loss of many millions of dollars to tho Troasury, ho is to be promotod to. a position whore ho will navo many millions to handlo. Proof that Baboock had dono this thing would havo convictod him of conspiracy boyond nil poradvonturo, and sot him to work Rawing stono in a striped suit; but proof that Tutton did it ontitloa 'lutton to rownrd. Not a word is said against tho charactor or administration of Comly, tho prosont Collector of Philadelphia; cn tho contrary, ho Is ono of tho fow appointees of Grant who is universally rognrded as "honost" in pecuniary matters.? Jiut Tutton wants his placo. TUTTON 18 A RF.NENUE DETEOTIVK, a spy paid by tho Govornmont to inform on taxpayors and rovonuo oflicors 11 is business is, historically, political^', socially, literarily, dramatically and literally, disreputable. .He is a com. trion informer, and tho elements that go to mako up that aort of eharnetor noed not bo descanted upon. To lio, to dccoivo, to luro, to soduco, to seok eonfidoneo and betray it, to protend friendship and soli tho victim for money, to shadow" men and "spot" Ihom, to put up jobs, wiito decoy.lottera, soil illieit goods as bait, and lay traps pf all sorts for tho woak and unweary? theso aro tho dovioos of a dotoctivo. It is a bafo rule to disboliovo all dotectives on oath, unless strongly corrobo* rated by roliablo evidenoo. Tutton naa rooenuy neon rominaoa ny <jommissionor Pratt, rn a aharp lotter, that ho ia nothing raoro than a dotoctivo. It scoma that tho suporvisor, that ia, Boaa Spy, ol tho Internal lievontio in Ponnyalvnnia, livoa in Downington, Chester County, and that ho opened an oftlco in hiaown houao and chargod thn Government rent for it, which wo may bo auro waa equal to ita valuo.? Commiasionor Pratt eould find no au^ thority for tho payment of this rent under tho law, and also thought Philadelphia the proper locality for the Supervisors offioe; ho he dirocted Tutton to loeato in a room fiirniahcd muro ior till' purposo iij- uio uovtiiiniciit. Tutton, big willi tho consciousness of powor gained in Having Bnbcocic, declined, and nskod Commissioner Pratt's authority lor the change.? Whereupon, the heavy ex Sonator from Indiana, eamo down upon Tutton with a notification that lio was nothing but a detective, and a subordinate of tho Uominispioner j which "reason why," couched in somowhat tart phraseology, has boon reproduced and posted up around tho Custom House of Philadelphia, for tho amusement of tho tidowaiters and othors.? Still, Tutton is more of a man to Grant's liking than (Jomly is, and tho chances aro in his favor. .Republicans in Philadelphia Imvo taken tho alarm, and nskod tho President to dosist, on tho ground that it will injuro tho party, boeauso tho pooplo will supposo that Tutton's appointment is a reward iov iiio liabcooic lotlor. bo tho pooplc will. And tho pcoplo nro right. ? The Negro StrikoTlio rice planters on tho Combahec and other rivors of tho low country, recently reduced the price of day laborora from fifty to forty cents a day, or rather tho prioo of tasks, for if wo understand tho system of work on these plantations, it is to give (ho laborer a cortain prioe for a certain amount of work. Tho planters hnvo been paying fifty cents for the hoeing of an acre of rice, which is about a l.nlf roni-ls f,*..

I5y working alt day ho could mako one dollar just as easy as fifty cents. The stagnation in business, scarcity of money and the general depression of the times, forced the planters to make n reduction in wages. Sambo might havo quietly subia it.iu n.o ~e <i.

They have sinco been roaming the country ami forcing all other laborers to join the strike.? whipping many who were not disposed to yield to their unreasonable demands. There has been no outrages or violence committed by then", upto this time, but it is evident that they cannot hold out natch longer, and wil] bo forced to submit and go to work or to committing depredations on the property of th? planters. The Governor has been appealed to, to restore order and preserve the peace,? The only steps thus far taken by him, Is the appointment of a good citizen as trial justice in the disturbed district, but he will evidently bo powerless to restore ordor unless he bat a force to sustain him. Tho Charleston Journal of Commerce appeals to tho Governor tc call for the aid of national troops in dispersing the mob rioters. This is a course that we enr not approve of. The Govornment troops have no right to inter<erc with local affairs, ami il the Governor desires the aid of an tirraod force to restore order lie can get it at home ii he makes a call on the proper class of citizens There is much excitement over the ufflii throughout the low country, and at Ihi' time wo cannot <^ny what will be the tormina j lion of it.
