jjH "A WECKLESS LUNATIC WHO OUGHT TO BE
? CAUEI) LIKE A WILD BEAST."
W This desperate man hastbeen driven by
f his iusolcnt and ignoble ambition to medif
tate a measure which stamps him either as
V a Oatuline or a maniac. The most charitaV
blc-treatment his fricuds could bestow on
S him would be to shave his head, put him in
f a straight-jacket, and commit him to some
I kindly managed retreat for the insane.?
If his power wero as great as his temper
/ is ungovernable and wicked, ho would bo a
) dangerous mau to bale It at large. What

i^^^flton on'a charge of treason. The atrocity
| . I of this wild threat docs not consist in the
I ? I intended cQ&acquerf&stL to the victim. The
ft I hanging oR/c*. Hampton would be a small
\ I crime in wfctg*)*ont with the incendiary
'effect of ^trlr^rh^htteuipt. A maniac who
J should carry a torch into a powder rnaga^^kziuc,
or a villain who should send a tool on
that errand, would hardly excite more horror
than on incendiary politician undertaking
to arrest for treason the most popular
and trusted citizen of South Carolina in
the present inflammable condition of pub^
lie feeling in that State. A man m.ust be
absolutely i?>?ane not to know that such an
act wow'd kindle the whole State into a conflotation.
It would "bo absurd to say that
^^^^Mhc author did not intend this consequc^jc,
H^^Kif he should venture on such an act when
popular passions are excited to such a pitch
that the restraining moral influence of
^H|^Hiat has prevented violent outbreaks. If
^^^^Hrovcrnor Hampton could be arrested, tried,
^ j^^Hentcnccd and hanged with as little tumult
m^His attends the ordiunry course of justice,
^^H^Bovcn then the conduct of Chamberlain
^^^^ would be ignoble and detestable. But if
sued ft tnmg woro attempted there would
be ft general uprising throughout South
Carolina and the neighboring States to protect
and defend him, and when violence had
ouce begun in that way all control over popular
passious would be lost, aud nobody
could foresee to what extremetica they
would go. It is uot the one life of Wade

RAISING PROVISIONS FOR LABORERS.
The laborers on every farm should raise
the food they consume. If tho farmer
do. 8 not wish to take risk, let him ai range
with tho hands to cultivate for themselves,
under his direction nud coutrol, sufficient
crops of corn and wheat (not cottou) to
supply themselves and families with bread.
The farmer can secure for himself the rent
of laud thus planted, and receive pay in
work for the use of tenuis and. implements,
and thus losn linthimr till tVir? nilior Imml
COUNTING IN.
It cannot l?e expected that tho result
which hns been reached by the State Canvassers
and Returning Hoards in South Carolina,
Florida and Louisiana, will be acceptable
to the great body of tho American
people. On tho face of the returns as sont
in from the polling places in each of these
three States, the Tilden electors and tho
Democratic Stalo officers had a majority,
and, unless tho votes could be set aside,
wore legally chosen. The method by which
this apparent majority has been totally reversed
will not cotnmaud general confidence.
In South Carolina the manipulation of the
returns which has produced such a result
was made not only by extreme partisans, all
i ? ''uJffilflHfkAf ?^? ^
selves in without much and in
the face of an order of tho Supreme Court
of their own Stato, every jhdgo in which
was appointed by the Republicans. In
Florida a singlo member of the board was
a Democrat, but tho other members, who
out voted him, were of the party now counted
us in the majority. In Louisiana the
board was composed wholly of partisans
whose previous character was notoriously
bad, (the Republicans themselves being
judg.s,) and who years ago had been caught
in acts of great dishonesty in a situation
almost precisely like tho present. There
could bo, from elements like these, no reasonable
expectation of fairness, and few
will be disappointed at the conclusion.
We do not see bow the most expert leaders
of the dominant party can make even a
plausible defense of the course that has
been pursued. If the national government
had been ih the hands of the present opposition
; if the State authorities had likewise
been wholly Democratic, with sheriffs, constables,
registrars, poll clerks, marshals all
of that political faith ; if the Republicans
had been in a feebic minority, with the
whole power of the State and Federal government,
the militia with its arsenals, the
army with its veteran leaders and accumulation
of warlike stores, thus against themv
there might be a reasonable assumption that
their adherents had been terrified and a fair
vote prevented. ?
Rut reverse all the attendant circumstances,
and the claim appears wholly preposterous.
With a Governor and Legislature,
ill5 military authority, and the machinery
of election all in their hands, and backed
by a willing President and the whole powwiui
most plausibility from the opposition,
laboring under so many disabilities,
and not from the dominant party, clothed
as it was with supreme authority, and not
disposed to be overscrupulos in the uso of
it.
If the party represented as in a minority
had suddenly taken violent possessi u of tho
polls, and by force of arms driven away
the surprised adherents of the other side,
this would of - course be publicly known,
and in such a locality there might be a fair
claim for redress at the hands of the lieturning
board. But we have already heard
from every part of the South ; the election
was to all outward appearances perfectly
quiet and peaceful, and no persoAs offering
to vote anywhere iu the disputed States ,
were driven hway or pevented from the exercise
of their lawful rights.
The magnitude of tho changes proposed ?(
in Louisiana must be startling to every unprejudiced
mind. It equals nearly fourteen
thousand votes in the ease of the leading
Tilden elector. Who can believe that .
hero is auy honest occasion to reverse a j
popular majority after this fashion ? Thus. ,
our unscrupulous partisans, openly convic- |
.ed by their own party of a similar fraud t
leretoforc, have, against the face of the re- s
urns, counted in their candidates for the v
Sectoral college, the Legislature and all
jtato offices, and for the Congress at Washou.
n
No right-minded man, as it scorns to us, ?
lowevcr strong his political preference, can
miction such proceedings. We arc far u
lore anxious that thn ,J
r?,..v ..v....StBiiuuia jt
cpudiate this action than that any particu- ja
irc^nir^^^^^payt^ shall be successful ^
it will be) by Sa

hum thus brought upon it, or if rightly ?j
et and treated by the opposition, lead to er
1 entire supremacy in the near future and wi
creafter for mauy years to come?these jt
e questions not as important to the pub- to
i welfare as the possibilities that grow out tal
tho action itself. las
We need not discuss just now the way be
which the Congress should meet this nij

whole of that 'matter into his own hands,

shown, hogs can be raised very cheaply by

It will be observed that the course recommended
above, if carried out, would utilize
,n large portion of our abundant lauds now
idle. Instead of the negro population being
fed froin lands cultivated in the Nonhwestern
States, and his money passing
through the mcrchaut into the pockets of
Northwestern farmers, he woulO,rtj-supported
from the lands of the Southern lurmers,
and they (the farmers,) receive practically
the rent ot a vast quautity of land now entirely
unproductive. The proper place for
the negro in every point of view?political,
social and industrial, is one of friendly subordiuation^to
the whites, insuring 011 tho
one side kindness, rare, protection and
means of support, and on the other cheerful,
steady and reliable labor. The tiuic

Southern States such relation betwccu the

Our friend Geo. L. Burruss. of Carrollton,

Have tried it twice myself with good effect
?in fact, with us it has become a specific.
To be sure we make additions and alterations
to suit the ease, but that is the bnsc.
We once cured a very severe ease of fistula
with nothing else. It wns so bad the owner
was going to shoot it. Wo took it to try
our hand. The weather was so cold we
thought we would cleanse the system ready
for outside applications, but ere that camo
found it getting well, and made a perfect
euro. My brother thought what would
euro that would also cure the poll evil, and
E reduced the same results. The latter case
ad not yet broken. No danger in giving
