PICK ENS C. 11., S. C.: Thursday. Jnnr 22,187?. Tho Ne^ro Vote Wo noticed somo time since, that ono ot tho Democratic Clubs in Andorson County, requested tho Intolligoncer and Journal, tho two papors of thnt county, to dovoto as much as ono column cach wcolc to editorials, specially written for tho onlighton** mont of tho colorrd v'of.orR nf t.hnl county, with tho viow of influoncing them to voto with tho whites, and tho Democrats woro rcquostod to road and oxplnin thorn When opportunity afforded. This, as a thoory in politics, mitfht do vory woll, but wo aro afraid that practically it would provo a fails uro. Tho nogroes, as a class, aro not capablo of comprehending or appreciating nowspapor arguments, hosidos thoy havo heon taught to mistrust all such arguments, howovor woll meant or kindly givon. Uut wo would not discourago any effort in that direotion, to draw iho aid of tho nogro void to ilio nalivo whitOB, where itpropcrally unci naturally should go, for thoir intercut aro identical, but a hotter plan, wo think, would bo a littlo inoro personal and individual effort on tho part of tho whites. Tho nogrocsaro oithor thoir hired laborers or tonants and thoy aro thrown in daity intorcourso with thorn, which affords an opportunity of conversing with and instructing thom in thoir political duties. Tho nowspapor is a groat |>oliticivl lover when pr'oporly supported, but without tho individual efforts and corporation of its party frionda it is almost powerless. T!io nogro would more readily bolievo the arguments of his employer than those of a nowspapor, whilo tho oiuployer might very properly call the nowspapor to his aid. Our poo-.

No person, or clue.* of mon can exort tho influonco over tho negro as tho farmor. It is with them that tho negro, prin-* cipally, has nil his interconso and looks to for instruction and assistance. In all matters rolating to his indiviiuul 'voltaic, he seeks their udvioo and counsel, but when it comes to mattora of politics ho is a stranger to them. Why is this? Simply because the employer, or former master has nevor made any well directed advances towards him. Ilo has cursed and abused mm bocauso ho did not ?co hi? true political intcroht and vole with llio whites, forgetting tlint thore was a certain clans ol men, who for political advancement and personal gain, woro daily infusing tlio poison of Radicalism into his mind.

Tho Domo ! cratic clubs might tako up tho consideration ot this subject and doviso a plan by which much good might bo acoomplishod.

On Sunday, the lltli inst. rain commenced fulling in this section, and continued at intervals, during day and nigbt uutil Saturday night following, when it seemed that the Heavens had opend and tho Hoods turned loose, causing the most doelructivo freshet that, within tho memory of tho oldest inhabitants, has tfioiu.l 'PI.~ i urvi Tioiiuu uun ouvuuu. j nu uivurn (uiu Creeks were overflown and the water extended from bill to hill, washing largo channels through the bottom lands, covering up the corn with sand and mnd, causing, in many instances, a total destruction of the crop. The up-landa, though not so extensively washed* have been seriously damaged. All the bridges in the County, with but one or two exceptions, so far as wo havo boon ablo to learn, were washed away, and those not washed away, were considerably damaged.

Personal intercourse with lending Democrate from every section of the country, who have been in Washington during this session of Congress, and a careful scanning of tlio principal Democratic journals from every State, has forocd upon mo the conviction tha4 ! there has not been, for many years, so great | ft determination to succoed in a Presidential olcction, as exists now in tho Dounooratio party. Tho necessity for bucoobs was never mora keenly folt; nor litis there boon, for years so muoh roason to expoct suocess. Upou tlicso points wo aro agreed; it is only upon tho question of policy that wo aro divided.? But oven then, tho willingnoss to yield profercnocB to what shall seem to be the wisost coilrso is almost unanimous; and it only remains to determine wliat the wisest courso is. Tho fact is not disputed, I boliovo, that neither party can win without the State of Now York. And it is also agreed that Administrative Roform is to be the chief issue of (lie campaign. I It was, therefore, to bo expectcd that Gov. Til Jen should be selected as the man most certain to bocoiae the next President of the United States, if nominated by the Democratic party. Believing him to be so, I liavo, from time to time, frankly stated the facts o^ his career, as the leader of Reform movement that has relieved the Democracy of the great State of New York ofa blighting disgrace and made him the most popular man within its borders. AN A1USTOCKATIU PUDLIC KOBIIKH DROUGHT TO ORIKF. Tlio ideas in the preceding paragraph were suggested to me by reading in Ihc New York Herald and Tribune of to day (tho JWorld is strangely Bilout) editorials on tho conviction of Gcorgo D. Lord, at, lhiffalo, of frauds in the management of tho Canals. The Lord family have been to the State of New York whatTwoed was to tho city; with the difference that while Tweed was plebinn and vulgar, tho Lords were aristocratic and "res* pectable." When Governor Tildcn commenced war upon tho Canal ltiug, this family and I )???? wnrtllliv nntl i^owopfnl r?nnt\or*I inn<t <lo fied him, precisely as did the Tweed Ring.? But the people were on the side of justiconnd honest government; they have sustained Oov. Tilden at every step, and, yesterday, tho chief member of the Canal King was convicted of crimes that may send him to prison for fivo years. Is it strange that Governor Tilden is opposed, wheu many of those fighting agwinst him arc struggling to save themselves from the penitentiary? Hut, for every ihief unit rises against nun, uvu iiuiivsi men i-umu iu m? support. Tho Tribune Bays of Lord's conviction: "Among (ho pooplo nt largo this cvifjenco of the practibility of tho Governor's rcfo 'ins will make a deep impression," nml (hints that the question of Governor Tilden's sire ig(h and popularity is settled. The Herald akes a similar viow of the matter. COMPROMISE CANDIDATES arc beginning to loom np in both parties, in view of tho possibility that tho friends of the gentlemen most prominently mentioned in connection with tho Presidency will become bo embittered against each other [that tho nomination of none of tho rivals is possibleOf the Republicans Wheeler, of New York' Washburno, of lllinoise, nt>w Minister to France, and Governor Ilarirnnft, of Pennsylvania, arc most spoken of?)Vhecler, perhaps, ahead. Among tho r&mocrats, if neither Bayard, Til len, Hancock, Hendricks Thurman or Parker can be nominated, Gov. Thomas Swann, of Maryland, will be strongly urged as n candidate. Mr. Swann's public career is unspotted, and his private character is without blemish. And, in speaking of Governor Swann, I am reminded of a fact that comparatively fow persons consider, ll.n ? ?f nul.lin n.All It is tins. Tho Government official who 1ms nil the; help ho requires, who is provided from the T'ublio Treasury with all tho money he requiros for the payment of expenses which he may deem necessary; has a fine time of it compared with (he conductor of largo private enterprises, whose duties require of him that lie shall not only prosocuto them to success, but shall also provide tho means for doing so. George Law, Cornelius Vandorbilt, A. T. Stewart, Thomas Swann and a sooro of other able and wealthy railroad men, projectors of steamship lines, inventors, and others, whose pursuits in private life have contributed to the wealth of the country, and to give it a high place among the nations of the earth, hr?vo no! only performed duties through life similar to those of our host Cabinet Officers, and equally boncficial to tho people, but have been obliged, also, and at the same time, to perform the incomparably more difficult task of raising the means for the payment of expenses. Of Mr Hwunn it may bo said that lie has never touched any enterprise, of either a public or private cliaractcr, in which he has not accomplished his purposo to tiie satisfaction of all concerned ?whether as Governor of his Male, Mayor of Baltimore, a Representative in Congress, President of a railroad, or in any other of the various enterprises of private life of which no huh ucon tne director.

It ia not possible to foresee what the cfTcct will be upon his chances for tlio nomination at Cincinnati; but it would scorn hardly safo to nouiinato a man for President whoso brain may have been seriously affected by apoplco* tin effusjon. Still thcro can be 110 doubt tha Maine's illness has had the effect to create great sympathy for him, even among his po litical enemies, And the tolcgrams from Cincinnati give assuranco that none of his friend" have yet deserted him on account of it.
