The x-'oreu-'UllL
In the days of sectional "persecution of
;the So?tiil one of the greatest crimes nt
,tempted by the Republican party, was
-.the* passage of the Force Bill. It was
.as merciless and cruel as the repressive
^measures of the Duke of Alva in the
LoftTbhn tries, m the sixteenth century;
but it was inspired by a diabolical cun
ning that was born of long practice. It
would have* crashed out in the Southern
States every semblance of Irce action,
and would have subjected us to the abso
-Jute'wUJ of the President of the Uuited
.States as completely as tha satrapy of
a? Eastern monarch is under his despot
ic po\ver.
Let us look at It for a moment. In the
Forty-second Congress.'the Republicans
had suffered in representation.' In the
Senate, there were 57 Republicans and
17 Democrats: in the House 138 Repub
licans and 103 Democrats. Mr. Blaine
was' Speaker. To revive the waning po
litical power of the Republicans in the
South, and to save tlie hateful carpetbag
government here, which had burdened
us with debts and dishonor, an Act was
"fltroduced which established a policy of
constructive treason more infamous thau
that trampled iii the dust by the Com
mons of England, and held up in ??Hal
lam" to.the undying hatred of all liber
ty-loving people. It notouly allowed
? suit In the United States Courts against
any person who should deprive any
one of tho rights of a citizen under the
Fourteenth Amendment, and made it a
penal o I fence to conspire to take away
any such rights, but it also provided that
inability, neglect or refusal of any State
Government to suppress such conspira
cies, or to call upon the President for aid
io do so, should be deemed a denial by
such ' State, .of-equal protection of the
""Saws ofits citizens. It further declared
such conspiracies a rebellion against the
Government of tho United States, and
authorized the President, when, in his
.owitjudynient, the public safety required
it, to suspend the writ of Habeas Corpus
in any district, and suppress any such
"ilKU:re,etion by the nnny ami- navy.
This suspension of the Writ of Habeas
^^Pwpjiis, at the simple will of ?ie Presi
dent, was absolutism in full. '.' '
This outrageous act of tyranuy was
just about to he imposed upon the peo
ple of the South by the Raift?fl parly in
Congress.. The Democrats in au appar
itlyjiopcless minority
cTeat
dispirited and with?. .t compact organiza
tion. The measure was about to pass,
which would put the South absolutely iu
the' hands of the President, beyond the
reach of the great Writ of Civil Liberty,
the Writ of Habeas Corpus, enabling
him to scud armed mon and arrest any
citizen and imprison him in a military
fortress, not to be reached by any Court
jpf Justice^The. Democratic leaders in
e House were unequal to the emergen
d regarded th.o passage of the
foregone conclusion. At this
here sprang to the front, a
pion bf the rights of the
person of a Northern Dem
arouscd the Democrats of
the awful iniquity of this
by the skillful use of
jtactics' day after day' pre
yenfe7Hfll"|P"feage. Public enquiry over
'?.he country was aroused at tire unusual
spirit manifested by -. the Democrats;
public opinion began toutter its voice
against the obnoxious BiT{. and 'the re
sult of. the Democratic filibustering w;is
the failure of the measure. 'The South
had still left to her the opportunity of
Vising aud crushing out the carpet-bag
v'excrescences, niiscalleU State Govern
ments; and our redemption in South
Carolina'was still possible, and' waVac
complished m J87G.
1 The Northern Democrat who thus
came to the rescue of the South iu this
most critical hour was Samuel J.'Ran
dall, the merchant representative ' of
'Philadelphia; and from that time to the
prcseut, the Southern people, who do
not forget their friends of their'Hour of
need, have felt au attachment for the
heroic patriot and statesman, whom
gome of the newspaper politicians are
vainly trying to slander and traduce, bv
accusing of sentiments he never express
ed, of acts he never committed, and of
votes he never cast. But. the people
are stronger than the politicians; and the
rnaxim that '?Republics are ungrateful,"
does not apply to'South Carolina.

After condemning Pennsylvania Demo

What Does the Record Say ?
In Its reply to our article, published
two weeks ago, the Georgetown Enquir
er devote1? nearly two columns. There
is nothing in the article tliat we care to
notice except the insinuation that this
journal is influenced by Mr. Dibble m
its utterances on Ihe.tarWfquestion. We
are uot surprised at our cotemporary
making this charge, as we would judge
from the tenor or its long editorial that it
was hard pressed for material out of
which to construct such a lengthy arti
cle. We might reply to this insinuation
by asking the Enquire? 11 the Kcirs and
Courier formulated Its opinions ea the
torhT question because 4,we dr. not r.e
mciuber having se3n any remarks by our
esteemed cotemporarv" on the subject
prior to the attack of the News arid Cou
rier on Mr. Dibble. But we make no
such charge. We give the Enquirer cred
it for being sincere in Us utterances on
this as on every other question that may
arise. Besides, we do not believe in that
kind of newspaper warfare. We believe
ni a fair, square, manly fight, and when
we are reduced to the extremity ot mak
ing such personal chargeB against a
brother editor, wo throw up the sponge
and retire lrom the field. Having said
this much by way of introduction, we
will now see how much truth there is in
the baseless insinuation made against us
by the Enquirer. In speaking of our ar
ticle, our cotemporary says:
"The Times and Democrat con
cludes its article by saying that it is the
advocate of Democracy and not of " Mr.
Dibble, aud that it would be recreant to
its duty if it'failed to raise its 'feeble* voice
ngninst making the tariff the leading is
sue in 1S84. Our cotemporary has rais
ed its ?feeble' voice and we hope tho
Democracy is correspondingly grateful.
Our cotemporary in doubtless sincere,
but we cannot but express our regret
that it failed to perceive its 'duty' until
Mr. Dibble had declared his intention to
vote for Randall. At any rate we do
not remember having seen auy remarks
by our esteemed cotemporary prior to
that time expressing views similar to
those subsequently announced by Mr.
Dibble."
It is almost a pity sometimes that the
beautiful fabrications of man's imagina
tion should be demolished by plain, un
relenting truth. How nicely everything
fits when we call our imagination into
play. ? We build castles one momentand
pull them down the next. We have no
doubt but that the Enquirer imagined
the above charge to be true, but when
we tum on the light of truth our readers
will discover that like all" imaginary
structures it will fall. In our issue of
May 3, 1883, in an editorial headed "The
Real Issue to be Met," we said:
4 The most important thing for us is
the election of a Democratic President in
1884, and to accomplish this we can't
afford to drive from us a single vote,
and a 'tarill for revenue only plank would
baud over all the pivotal States to the
Republicans. Let us act cautiously in
the matter, and not throw away the
bright prospects that are justahead of us
to satisfy the ambition of any man or
set of men.'
Again in the same issue in an editori
al headed "Food for Thought," in which
we commented on a statement of the
editor of the New York Sun that free
trade would cause the Democracy to
lose several States in 1884, we said:
"According to this, 'free trade' would
cause the Democracy to lose Louisiana
and Georgia, and also New Jersey, New
York. Connecticut, and probably Indi
ana. ' The loss-of these States would
certainly defeat the Democracy. In dis
cussing this questiou the American Reg
ister says, aud we commend its utter
ances to the nien?jMfi^eJiarfcK who
gee m_ de ten uinjjjfl Wwfehiu0"
^^^couIdpJHqJJI HpHWBfffrom
our columns, but the above is sufficient
to disprove the charge of the Enquirer,
when it is known that Mr. Dibble did
not announce his intention of supporting
Mr. Kaudall until sometime in the early
part of July. Our esteemed cotempora
ry will notice that we did perceive our
??duty" sometime before "Mr. Dibble
had declared his intention to vote for
Kandall," and that we are still raising
our "feeble" voice against the Democra
cy committing suicide in 18S4 by making
the tariff the lcadiug issue.
The Public Road*.
Senator Butler has completed his
series of articles on the Road question.
Tho gist of the whole matter is, thai he
suggests the levy of a capitation tax of
one dollar on each person liable to road
duty, and the organization in each Coun
ty of a paid working force under a sal
aried supervisor. The great difficulty
in this plan, it seems to us, will be the
collection of this extra head tax. Many
would pay it, while others would set off
or run the State to expense for its col
lection. Besides this, it is said that this
extra tax would be in conflict with the
Constitution, which declares that the
poll tax shall not exceed one dollar aud
shall be devoted to educational purposes.
Might not Scnal or Butler's idea be car
ried out with the p.escnt system so
modified as to make the payment, of the
tax cither iu money or work optional,
but requiring the law to be carried out
strictly to the letter under heavy pen
alties in case ot default? We also en
dorse the plan of the Xewbcrry Observer
lor holding County Conventions to dis
cuss the matter for the enlightenment
and guidance of our Representatives in
their legislation. The crops arc now, or
soon will be. laid by and our farmers will
have time to consider the subject. The
question will uudoutedbly come up In the
next Legislature, and it is important
Unit it should be fully and satisfactorily
discussed by our people before the meet
ing of that body.
Tax Luxuries not. Noct'.ssitrlos.
In our opinion the Virginia jlomn
crate have made a great mistake in de
claring squarely for the abolition of the
whole internal revenue system, if it
means, as it must, the removal of the
tax on whiskey, beer, tobacco, cigars
aud such luxuries. Wc believe that it
is just and fair to raise money for the
support of government by taxing luxu
cries, and not the necessaries of life that
the poor man must. have. We know
that the object of the Virginia Demo
crats is to do away with (he nuisances
of the internal, or rather infernal, sys
tem. But it must be done iu a better
way than by the infliction of such an in
justice as this. Money has to be raised
mr government. If you dou't raise it by
taxipg luxuries, you will have to raise it
by taxing necessaries. We are opposed
to doing this any more than is absolutely
necessary. Let those who are most
able, and who have most at stake, pay
most Into the public treasury. People
who can afford to smoke tine cigars and
drink whiskey are able to pay the tax,
and ought not to mind doing it,

A l'lna for the Girl?.
Mr. W. S. Hall.' writing m the News
and Courier. presents very strongly the
claims of the girls upon the State for
higher education. Tie says: * I would
like to a?k why it is we appropriate an
nually $32,100 for the free education of
the boys and not one cent for the.girls?"
Of couse, he refers here to higher educa
tion. He also says: 4\A. large per cent,
of the teachers of the State are females,
and it is a well known fact that almost
evcrv man who has attained auy distinc
tion attributes his success to his moth
er's training." It has been said by
many able thinkers that as the mother
trains the children of the household, and
her influence is thus incalculable upon
the world, the education of the girls de
serves prior attention to that of the boys.
Mr. Hall's letter is strong and deserves
consideration.
Tlie Rcstl Issue.
We commend the following article to
- th"( careful perusal of our readers. It is
from tlie Amsrcan Register, tho central
organ of the Democracy, published at
Washington, D. C. This paper is high
ly indorsed by the Democratic Senators
and Congressmen, and Its utterances are
therefore entitled to consideration :
The Democratic party is preparing to
enter another presidential campaign. In
terviews are had here and there; opin
ions are expressed upon this man and
that; lines of policy foreshadowed, and
all the movements which iudicate great
political commotion are evident to the
most casual observer. There is a per
ceptible seeking and a great demand for
the leading issue. One is certain it must
be this, and another is equally positive
that it must be something else; one in
sists that measures are demanded,, and
. the other, that the need of the hour is
men, born leaders, who can sway and in
fluence popular opinion. The most nu
merous crowd are they who insist upon
the tariff as the great issue?some want
ing to leave it as it is, some wanting
moderate protection and some others as
much of it as the party will stand, but
all are firmly persuaded that unless there
is an issue there Is no use in making a
fight.
Has it ever occurred to the Democrat
ic leaders that there is au issue now be
fore the country, and one that has at
tracted public attention for some time,
an issue grander and broader than mere
questions of tariff constructions or the
abstract considerations of purely econo
mic measure^, an issue that the fanner
in the West and the mechanic in tlie
East thoroughly understand, although
they mav know little of the science of
government ? There is such an issue; it
is wider aud deeper than all others, and
it may be expressed in a few words:
Democratic control because of Republi
can greed and corruption. View it as
you may, and argue it as you please,
this is tho real issue; all others siuk by
comparison. It is the one issue which
the country can understand and upon
which the battle may be safely fought.
Back of idl the broken promises, the hon
eyed words ot reform, and the moral
spasms of the party of ideas aud progress,
lies this.one controlling, dominating aim,
and that is party power. For this, any
reform is promised, auy pledge made, or
any position assumed. It vitalizes every
issue, galvanizes every promise, and in
fuses life and vigor into every campaign.
The reality of the present lends strength;
the prospect of the future inspires hope,
and together they open tiie sate of the
i apitalist and the heart of the ambitious,
until the sinews of war flow iu streams,
and the excitement of party conflict wid
ens into the acclaims of victory. Over
all the qualms of conscience which honest
men may feel; over all the demands
which reformers may make; and over all
the break: aud bolts which independence
may organize, is heard the slogau of par
ty strife and the watchword of party con
flict. It is always aud ever the same,
??public plunder." This is inscribed
upon its banner, and by this sign they
conquer. In this common aesire all fac
tions mingle nndnlUprms of belief agree.
Half-Breed, and the Free trader and the
Protectionist sink their differences for
the party good. Platforms are nothiug:
the past is a blank aud the future a ques
tion, but the duty of the hour is success.
If any thing is popular it is praised and
accepted; if questioned, no position is
taken, but the party is always all thiugs
to all men for success. The soldier is re
membered by patioticmenrion; the negro
placated by renewed assurances; the capi
talist interested by secret pledges; the
laborer quieted by liberal promises, and
m every method and by every ineaus
known to political strategy, points arc
made and positions won, until, merged
into one struggling mass, the party, intent
upon a single aim, aud that success,
moves forward to conquest aud victory.
Against the victorious legions of the Ite
pulican party, plentifully supplied with
arms and amunition, and entrenched in
the power and plunder of a long and cor
rupt reign, it is useless to fulminate edicts
or prcseut issues. Well dcfiue.d princi
ples ot* policy may serve as staudards
around which the thoughtful may rally,
but the moving, propellmgjpo wer must bo
the defeat and overthrow of the enemy.
True principles of Democracy as disting
uished from centralism, viz: individual
liberty, home rule aud honest govern
ment, are enough for the common pur
pose, and amply sufficient for party decla
ration. The common people, the working
masses, have neither time nor patience to
fathom the mysteries of tariff and finance,
but they know what personal liberty
means and what honest government in
dicates. Let Democratic restoration be
the aim, and considerations of public
policy the object. Let the aim be first
to overthrow, aud the object afterward
to reform. This is the platform the peo
ple want aud for which the popular mas
ses are willing to battle. Let us not
confuse the public mind with many dec
larations, nor puzzle the people with
nicely drawn distinctions upon political
economy. The issues are already joined.
They are known and read of all men,
and are, in a word, whether the liberty
living doctrines of the Democracy shall
prevail, or the country remain in the
power of those, who have abused its con
fidence and been false to their pledges.
This is the question of the hour, trans
cending in importance all other ques
tions, and upon thi3 simple aud naked
proposition the country will have to
divide. Upon some things there will
have to be a compromise ; for there is a
diversity of opinion touching some ques
tions, but upon the great central idea,
the triumph of Democratic principle,
there is no division. Every Democrat
knows what the party stands for and ad
vocates, aud it would certainly not be
wise to confuse that large body who are
ready to vote with us upon the simple
proposition of a change of rulers by drag
ging in a lot of issues certain to lead to
disagreements and doubts. The coun
try was carried in 1S7G by the cry of
Democratic reform, and it can be carried
next year by the staighlforward procla
mation of Democratic doctrine. This
antagonizes no special interest nor sec
tion. 11 means freedom and good gov
ernment for nil, and every man who
wants to sec this restored again will
range himself upon the Democratic side.
Let the men nominated be the pledge of
reform, and tlie principles of the party
the platform. With meu whose devo
tion to Democracy cannot be questioned
aud whose administration can be safely
relied on to bring about an era of good
feeling aud public confidence, the party
may appeal to the votiug masses for sup
port, aud enter the campaign with all
rcasouablc hope of success. Indeed, with
nothing fo produce division and every
thing to encourage harmony, the Demo
cratic party may hope for such au acces
sion of popular strength as will settle iu
advance the result of the struggle,

Charleston's Centennial.'
Monday was Charleston's Centennial
Day. and it was celebrated in a style in
every way becoming the grand old "City
by the Sea." The day was ushered in
with the familiar chimes of St. Michael's
bells pealing forth upon the morning air
in sweet and delightful music. Every
train brought visitors' from the country,
and soon the streets presented a scene of
unusual life and gayety with new and
joyou3 faces, and bright and attractive
bunting floating from the windows on all
the important streets. At 5 o'clock in
the afternoon the exercises commenced
at the City Hall. Here portraits and
relics of antiquity connected with the
history of the city were on exhibition.
Among the portraits was one of Hon.
Richard Hutson, the first Intendant of
Charles Town, which was furnished for
the occasion by a citizen of Orangeburg
jn whose family it has been preserved
for over a hundred years. The Centen
nial poem composed by Pau! H. Hayne
was beautiful and well sustained the re
putation of the sweet Southern poet.
-Mayor Courtenay then closed with a full
and able oration, giving an interesting
history of the old city. Gov. Thomp
sori, Lieutenant-Governor Shepard. and
many other prominent men, were pre
sent. In the evening, the crowd enjoy
ed the most magnificent display of lire
works ever witnessed in the city. The
day was one long to be remembered and
well worthy of the celebration that was
given. Charleston has passed through
many eventful scenes in the past cen
tury. We only hope that a glorious
fiirture is in store for her.

13 It Right ?
Our high officers, in the Federal scr
vice especially, are .paid enormons sal
aries to attend to certain public duties,
and yet they think nothing of leaving
these duties to go fishing,' hunting, or on
any pleasure-seeking expedition they
may fancy. They da not seem to realize
that they.are paid fop-their timc,and that
lb belongs to the people. There is no
objection to reasonable recreation, but
a wholesale abandonment of the offices
by all hands at the same time for weeks
and months seems to us to be trilling
with public charges. The following will
give an idea of the absenteeism at head
quarters at Washington at the present
time:
-The President and Mr. Lincoln have
gone on a jaunt to Yellowstone Park,
with no intention of returning to Wash
ington before the early part of Septem
ber. Judge Gresham has accompanied
them part of the way. Mr. Teller is in
Colorado, looking after his fences and
his future. Mr. Folgcr went to the
Louisville Exposition, after having just
returned from a visit to the interior of
New York. Brewster, Attorney-Gener
al, established himself at Long Branch
before the general exodus from Wash
ington began. Mr. Chandler has been
to Concord for several weeks, trying to
elect himself Senator. Mr. Frelinghuy
scn has been rusticating iu New Jersey
for a month or more, leaving the De
partment of State in charge of his young
son-iu-law, John Davis."
County Convention?.
The Newberry Observer says: "It
would be a good idea, we think, for the
fanners in every County in the State to
hold county conventions for the purpose
of discussing the public road laws, with
a view to devising some better plan for
securing good roads. They have more
practical knowledge of^the subject than
any other class of citizens, because it is
a matter that comes directly under their
observation and experience. There will
no doubt be some legislation on this sub
ject at the next session of the General
Assembly; and conventions of this kind
would go far towarda^haprng such legis
lation intelligently.' Now, while far
mers have comparative.'leisure, would be
a good time to bold such conventions.'' j

The Newberry.Observer tsays: "The
Democratic Conventions of the States of
Virginia, Ohio*- and ^Pennsylvania have
all declared in favors of a -tariff .for re
venue, with' incidental protection. Sen
ator Hampton; according to a- reported
interview in the Philadelphia Press,
entertains similar views; and states that
such is the opinion of the -people of. the
State on the subject of the tariff. Then
where is the sense of all this-talk in cer
tain quarters about "free trade ?" That's
what we would like to know.
It is said that the remains of Noah's
Ark have been found by some Turkish
Commissioners on Mount Ararat. It
corresponds to the dimensions of the
Ark as described in Scripture. The
natives, it is said, were afraid to ap
proach it on account of a spirit of fierce
aspect that was seen looking out of one
of the upper windows, but the Turks
were not afraid and entered. It will
dqubtte68 be removed to some Ameri
can museum.
The Abbeville Medium says: "The
tariff cannot be a national issue. It will
split the Democratic party. The weak
in the faith will go helter-skelter into tiie
folds of the Radical party and the friends
of the Constitution and of liberty will be
utterly undone." That is the whole
thing in a nutshell, and is the reason
why so many good Democrats oppose
its "being runde the leading issue in 1884.
The Augusta Chronicle says: In a
speech, in the Senate, forty-six years ago,
John C. Calhoun,rebuking the Abolition
ists, said: "Emancipation itself would not
satisfy these fanatics?that gained, the
next step would be to raise the negroes
to a social and political equality with the
whites." This was considered the rav
ing of a madman at the time of utterance.
It was really the prediction of a seer.

WOMAN! H?T
DR. J. BRMHJPS
FEMALE REGULATOR.
This famous remedy most happily meets
the demand of the age for woman's peculiar
and multiform afflictions. It is a remedy for
Woman Only, and for One Special Class
of her diseases. It is a specific for certain
diseased conditions of the womb, and pro
poses to so control the Menstrual Function
as to regulate all the derangements and ir
regularities of Woman's
MONTHLY SICKNESS.
Its proprietor claims for it no other medi
cal property, and to doubt the fact that this
medicine does positively possess such con
trolling and regulating powers is simply to
discredit the voluntary testimony of thous
ands of living witnesses who are to-day ex
ulting in their restoration to sound health
and happiness.
BRAD-FIELD'S FEMALE REGULATOR
is strictly a vegetable compound, and is the
product of medical science and practical ex
perience directed towards the benefit of
SUFFERING WOMAN i
It Is the studied prescription of a learned
physician whose specialty was Woman, and
whose fame became enviable and boundless
because of his wonderful success in the
treatment and cure of female complaints.
The Regulator is the Grandest Remedy
known, and richly deserves its name:
WOMAN'S BEST FRIEND,
Because it controls a class of functions the
various derangements of which cause more
ill health than all other causes combined,
and thus rescues her from a long train of af
flictions which sorely embitter her life, and
prematurely end her existence !
Oh ! what a multitude of living witnesses
can testify to its charming effects. Woman!
take to your confidence this
PRECIOUS BOON OF HEALTH !
It will relieve you of nearly all the com
plaints peculiar to your sex ! Rely upon it
as your safeguard for health, happiness and
long life.

thronged with travellers to the Eternal City,
full of zeal and perseverance, for which the
old Romans were famed. Pilgrimages in
those days were no doubt as beneficial as in
our own modern times, and travel is, as it
always has been, an admirable remedy for
