Kq event, since the 1 UttTTT?rable
Campaign of -"when Radicalism
"wtjs um^jfopctl and Democracy whs
^^j^rttul once more? 'in ?'control of
the. a Hairs of the Stale, has happened
,of greater significance to our people
than the municipal election held in
",o,ur chief city on 'J ucsday last. In
that d'om/jo'ign the' pecpfe/who h*ad
become lircd'cf the oppression they
had so long suffered, united in a com
mou cause and achieved at the ballot
box a sweeping victory over those
whose purpose Jit was to grow rich
at the expense of the citizens'; so in
Charleston, there was a community
of sentiment and interest' among her
people, which rallied at" iTie noils to
wrest the city frdtn don fusion anil the;
hands of those w'.o sought to bin hi
themselves up upon her rt'rlii.' ' As,
Gen. Hampton on that occasion h?re
the slandaid of true Democracy,
through the most terrible opposition,
to victory ; so- Capt. Courtenay on
Ibis lead the party of Honest govern j
?racne and "coimd-pi tuendes lo d sue-:
'cess "ns^grand as that ''achieved inj
1S7G. A de'leaf at that" liibc
would have been most disastrous, re
sulting ultimately' in the 'disintegra
tion' of the Democratic party by g'.v-.
ihg an indefinite' It'ase of p?we'r'io our
Unscrupulous opponents; so defeat ii
the late municipal election would
prove to be ruinous lo our hopes by
giving p: eminence anil influence to Iu
depcndcnibm that'' would finally des
troy ofcr party organization4-*- -it w?uld
Imvo 'been a calamity to the entire
"State. Victory, 'on the one occasion,
?was ilealh to'P.adiealism ; so in this,
we trust, It 'tvi'll'bc death to Indo
pendentism. ? ? i
i The result of this C})nrlQSlori elec
tion brings out a lew facts" which the j
yiistiffei'ted poilion of our citizens
might remember : First, that our peo
ple, notwithstanding the hue and cry
against it,'correctly understand the
importance of party organization and
will not allow lit lo be broken up I y
the schemes of* those who oppose De
mocracy ; that the 'influence df1 princi
ple exercises a" groa'lef power ovei \
Che masses than that-of leaders work
Hug for selfish cuds ; aiid that the d?}
lor fraud and bull-doziilg, on the pan
tsf politicians on' election occasions,
Vs Omk'd jir South Carolina.*' These
facts, established as ihey 'arc by this
election, ought certainly lo bring
pack into the folds of I heir parly,
\hosc who have wandered away under
false fHih;*?0sioii8 and make them j
lirm adherents to the principles con
trolling the conduct of their fellow
itizens. The remedy for parly pl'-j
ibrs is not lo be found in Indepcild
bnlunn -or in boltiDg, but in a candid
fend fconest' rii?c?ssiori of differences
tand a iii m'.rc'ard-.-c lo abide by the de
cision of the party:- In view of the
sluhbprn opposition f?ltfi overcome
Uid'lhc'gfcat'Interest 'at' stake, such
a'fcblirsc Is the only sensible one and
best calculated to give success. Had
lids policy been pursued there would
have arisen' no occasion1 for a split in
ths Charleston Democracy or Tor re
proached of one phrty against another.
Jt is*very1jitf(j?ittaiit that (hu feelings
of bitterrie38',icrtg*indercd by this con
test, should soon die 'out, arid that

The Freodm?p-s Bank.
The most gigantic fraud, Over per
petfrbtctl'by organized rascality npo'n
tin ? innocent people, was that of tile
Frccdmutrs8 Savings Rank, incorpora
ted1 i'lvUic pdroiesl days of Radical
ism 'by a Republican Cqpgiess and
manipulated'by a - act of dishonest
politician^ BtyHng'tlicinsclvcs friends
of the ?'oppressed and 'down-trodden
colored people of the South." The
most wonderful feature of this y.vi:?-!
dlo js that the vcrjf men, mafry Of j
I horn, who deceived the ignorant no'
gro by ihoir plausible words and fair
promises, are ?tili in our midst and
dare lo walk with their heads up
among honest people and their inno
cent victims. Akin to this, and none
the less impudent, is the fact that tin
very men who controlled that Con
gress, are still active workers in lie
Republican ranks and seem to thiul
that Ihe victims of their broken fail I
and base deception ought to come up
to their help: against the Democratic
party, against' an honest government,
and BliH inorc, against Ihe Southern
whites the natural friends of the col
ored people. Money approximating
I two millions of dollars or more was
paid by the colored people of the
South out of their savings, into this
bank, was squandered by the Repub
lican politicians and no accounting
ever had to show the depositors what
ever became of their money, or what
drove the bank into bankruptcy. Is'o
effort was ever made by Southern
Radicals or Northern Republicans lb"
jsonjpel th?"5t0clcht5h1dr8 to clo^c up
the affairs of the bank, or to niakje a
public exhibit of Hs assets or the
moneys on hand. If it had not been'
ihe good fortune of the country for the
! Democrats lo ^et control of the gov
ernment/'.no, cfjfort would ever have
bceh'ihadc tocxposelhe fraud or lo re
pay the colored pcopicu dollar of their
savings. The first movement in this di
rection* was IQado last week by Hon.
IM. jV(/'Connor, a Democratic mctn
! bcr of Congress from South Carolina,
! who ; 1 ! 1 iri 'oduend a bill requiring Ibis
Trtjpji Cpmpany to make out a full;
I aiii; complete inventory of all moneys,'
claims and assets belonging lb the
Savings bank ; r? quiring the Treasu
rer lo sell all personal and real estate
I of the company composing llnl bank ;
and after si:: mouUis to pa3*'to the
depositors Cite 'balance of deposits
! that may have been paid into his
! hands ; and also appropriating a sulll
Icicul turn of money necessary lo com
| plele the payments, to meet Ihe ends
[of justice, u:ul, thus in some measure
j lo wipe out the stain on the govcr
| incut put upon it by Northern Repub
licans and Southern Radicals.
Surely this r.ct alone, of Mr. O'Con
nors, is siillicilcnl lo prove to the col
ored people'who arc'lllcif friendg, and
which pariy'is mbre prompt in doing
them justice and. {'.warding them all
the rights under the law and Constitu
tion. Let Ihe campaign'of 1880 at
| lesl their appreciation of the man who
(lares lo Inaugurate such a movement
and their confidence' in the parky
which dares by their Volcy to c'oii
suEiale so just and to honorable a
scheme in their behalf. It is the mis
sion of the Democratic party to deal
fairly by all men, and the ability lo
pcrfo*m successfully this great duty
will depend very much upon the col
oied vole of the South which WC feel
sure will be coidially given when the
dCC'isiou demands it. ' ''
m ? -
The ponvicis.
Much has becil spoken in the Leg
islature and written in the papers
upon the cruel treatment of the con
victs practised by the pa i lies w ho
have leased them, from the Slale du
ring 'llyp present jear. If all ihe re
ports bo'true, L is bad enough and
the matter needs1'investigation by the
State authorities at us caily a day as
possible, Punishment, not inhuman
ity, is the purpose of the law, aud il
is certainly stepping beyond pur
pose lo stiller any such cruelty lo be
inflicted upon convicts. Tho State,
thtough her representatives, is alone
responsible and should make every
jcll'ot t lo correct ihe evil?not by put
ling the criminals in the rcnite;iliaiy
or jails as bo many fattening pens
whole they may liyr. anti'dm in idle
ness, but under the law's of a Chris
tian humanity and ah enlightened
reason., make them industrious labor
ers in just such holds where they will
be most profitable lo the Slate, in
the present condition of poverty of
our people, it is impossible for the
State l???d to any considerable extent
in Hit building of railroads, highways,
canals', or other internal improve
ments by money as was tistjal bpforc
the1 war ; but she can nitl more effect
ively Hiart cv'cr by letting out her
convicts under certain restrictions of
of comfort, diet and health us the
honor of Ihe Stale and Iho welfare of
the convicts may demand. Indeed
v/c take it to be nnthing a miser' to
make tho prisoners, serving out tbeir
sentence term in our county* jails,
Work' 'the roads, build bridges nnd
otherwise serve Hid ' community,
against which they offended, as ihe
authorities' might deem proper. Our
Comity'Commissioners by good man
agement' might save 6ur citizens hun
dreds'of dollars if they had'access to
cheap Iqbor. To' the criminal, labor
is punishment und answers the pur
pose of the law ; but cruelly to that
criminal is a crime against the law,
punishable as oilier crimes arc pun
ishable. Such a disposition orcr-imi-,
' nals is nothing now in u Christian
country, but is practised by tho most
advanced states ot' Europe, and for
aught we know, in portions of our
own country, working profitably not
only lo the Slate but' the criminal,
making him industrious and accus
tomed lo labor, so that when he is
igain restored lo freedom he may be
ible to make a deCent living honora
ry and* honestly.
The Legislature.
The activity with which this body
went to work at tho'beginning, and
the commendable anxiety of its mom
bers for a shdil session, seem lo be
falling off sotiic what as the work and
the session progress. Each day wit
nesses t(h'e'tnlroduelioh of a host of
preliminary bills and thus i?" large
amount of work, of no special ifopbr-,
tance, 'has been placed before the
Legislature, which will require more
than the time nlTottbd at the C";..
menccuu-nt for the session. Indeed
unimportant matters seem lo receive
more attcnliou now than important
measures. According to the expe
rience of the past lids state'of things
indicates a quantity cf gas iii the
'shape of set speeches, "which must bj
J discouraged by the less ambitious
members. What wo need is the con
sideration alone of a few vital' matters1
by tho committees lo lie acted upon at
an earl}1 day by the Iloucc'a'nd Sen
ate, and then an adjournment will be
in order. Let the speech makers hold
their fire for next fall when ample
opportunity will lie allowed every
, one lo show his patriotism bolh by
word and deed.
A Good Time to Sei I Cottori.
If Mr. Forwood is correct in his fig
ures and estimates?and as presi
dent of Ihe international cotton c.\
I change he should be?il. verifies the
position recently assumed in these
columns, and sounds a fresh note of
warning lo our planters not to hold
on to their cotton too long in antici
pation of higher prices. Nothing is j
more evident than that the present j
boom is based entirely upon specular
lien. Certainly the trade abroad his
not revived sufficiently to justify a
demand for the staple greater than
has been the case in previous years,
and now this prominent Liverpool
merchant adds his evidence to show
that the present high prices rest on
no'safe or substantial foundation. 1,1
is obviotiH, therefore, thai, sooner or
laier, n icaclioii knuat > set in, null
when it does','prices will be likely to
decline r.s' rapidly as they have ad
vanced. The safe course for our far
mers to pursue i:> to take in their pro
fits while they have them. AI pres
ent prices, they can realize hand
somely On their crops, and can be
placed in condition to begin opera
j lions next year under much more fav
orable auspices than at any time since
the war.- Then when the decline1
I comes they will' bo saved harmless.
jTho speculators who have artificially
raised the price of the staple will be
the only onos'hurl, but the country
at large will nol ho in the slightest
ilegrcn injured thereby.?Savannah

Electioneering.
That a certain nnjoiptt of clcc
tionccring in legislative bodies is ne
cessary,fair and'just, wp admit; but
that our legislators should devote too
much tinielo canvassing for men for
ollice, and gambling in ??futures^' in
politic9, is, we think, unjust to their
constituents* Legislation, gentlemen,!
legislation is what the people waul, if
any is necessary ~, und not culling and

' housewife dues Apples and' peaches for
