For Shame. The Abbeville jVe.^s and Banner says: "If we are to lake the various paragraphs in our exchanges in refer ence to the necessity of enforcing the law against adultery as meaning' any thing, it would sqem that there is lit tle virtue in South Carolina.

For shame! It js an ill bird that fopls its own nest. Let this defama tion of our own people stop." Yes, let it stop, and the best way to stop it is tq stpp( the adultery business. When we see two lady acquaintan ces meet ?aeji other and then'kiss, we wonder why it has never been fash ionable, for gentlcipeji to follow the i same example.

The Ralegh Observer says "never in the I istory of the world have equal results followed in so quiet a way, a reveju^on like that of Hampton's success in South Carolina.

Our fellow townsman, Mr. Moses Bencini, in 1SG? was captured by some of Kiik's bushwhackers, and Hude W. Green, who had deserted the Confederate army, was his guard. While acting in that capacity, Mr. Bencini one day asked him for a chew of tobacco, which was answered by a gross insult and a jag of bayonet. B. told him he would' sec him again. The two never met since until last Thursday, when they collided at Statesville, and Mr. B. reminded : i rl n Green of the incident in such lan guage as to call for a muscular re joinder at the hands of Green who went for him with a chair.

A political murder at the South I is a deplorable affair, but it appears to us that the assassination of a young girl by a preacher, the poison ing of a husband by his wife, the deliberate marriage of a brother and sister, and the incestuous relations between fathor and daughter, are far more suggestive?far more degrad ing to civilization?far more indica tive of a debauched] condition of so ciety.

Our Duty. he Anderson Intelligencer gives following good advice to 'the Democrats of South Carolina. "The Democrats of South Carolina should remember that the election of a Re publican in New York is due to a split in the Dcmociatic party. Those who seek to divide us in this State will just as surely lead us back into 1 I-1? u the uadical camp, and tbeieforo all good citizens ought to put their feet tfiiuarely upon a~ny indepentism or otlier move which looks to a division in the partv. Whatever evils exist either m the Stale or in the counties can be corrected as easily in the Democratic party as in the U^publi can, and it is the duty of our people to quit talking about voting against the Democratic party because certain things do not please them. If we had i lie Republican party in power there would be even more things that would displease us. Let all of our fights be slr.iet|v within our own par ty, and nil of us iiiijtp ^o crush Re publicanism in every form it may as sume, fcr it is our enemy and the enemy of our country.
