Charleston Eleclipn.
No cveiit, since the memorable
ctrmpafgh q[ Jl&t? when Radicalism
'Svhs Tjctbrbncd and Democracy whs
^JJ$&&& ' once more? ?'in 'control of
the affairs of the Slate, has happened
of greater .significance to our people
than the municipal election held in
pur chief city on Tuesday last. In
tbaJL campaign the' pcopfe/who had
liecomc tircd"of the oppression they
had so long suffered, united in a com
mon cause and achieved at the ballot'
box a sweeping victory' over those
whose purpose Jit was lo grow rich
at the expense of the citizens'} so in
Charleston, there w?s a' community
of sentiment and interest' among her
people, which rallied at' tTie noils to
wrest the city frdu'i Confusion rind the
hands ot 7bo.se w'.o sought to build
themselves up upon her rum.' As.
Gen. Hampton on that occasion bore
the standaid of true Democracy,
through the most teirible opposition,
to victory ; so- Capt. Courtehay on
this lead the party of Honest govern
?rte;ic c.nd "c?ijnd'iu i nidi pies to a sue
'ecsa "ns^grand as that'' achieved In.
1870. A deteatf at that' Tube
would have been most disastrous, re
sulting ultimately in the disinlogra
iron of the Democratic, p?tyy by g'.v
ihg an indefibitc Idase of powe'r'lo dun
^unscrupulous opponents; so defeat in.
the late municipal election would
prove to be ruinous to our hopes by
giving p: eminence anil influence to In
depen'dentiam that'would mi ally des
troy oAr parly organization^ -it Wtilild
Imvo 'bcen'^a calamity to the entireJ
?St ile. Victory, on the one occasion,
"was death to 'Radicalism ; so in this,
we trust, It 'will'be death to Iiule
pendentism. ' '? ? ? ' " 1
t The result of this C}|?rl23lon clec
tlpii brings out a lew fact?'which the
ytiSJiiffei'tcd portion of our citizens;
might remember: First, that our pco-,
pic, notwithstanding the hue and cry
against it, correctly understand lhcj
importance of parly organization and
will not allow lit" lo be broken up I y
the schemes of'those who oppose De- j
mocracy ; that tlic iplluence df1 piinoi- i
pie exercises a ' grorfloi* power overj
Che masses than that-of leaders "work-j
\ng for selfish ends ; and that the da\
for fraud and bull doziilg, on the part
bf politicians on' election occasions,
Is Ondl'd jir -South Carolina.These
facts, established as they ate by Ibis
election, ought certainly lo bring
yiae!: into the folds of their parly,
those who have wandered away under
false fm?peosiohs and make them
llrirJ adherents to the principles con
trolling the conduct of their fellow-j
itizens. The remedy for party pr-4
IbrB is not to be found in Indepcnd |
hrrtiemor In bolting, but in a candid
fend Honest'cViGctission of differences
fend a linn' re'sbk'c lo abide by the de
cision of the party." In view of the
stubborn opposition fjjr?fe overcome
Mid-the'great'lule-rcsl 'at' stake, such j
'A'fcbiirsc is the only sensible one and \
best cnlcuHiled lo give success. Had ?
lids policy been pursued there would
have arisen' no occasion for a split in
the Cjmrleetor! Democracy or for rc
proach?b bf oiVc phi ty against another.
jt isfvcry1tif(j(il1tant that (lie feelings

The Freedm?p's Bank.
The most gigantic fraud, dver per
pc't'rhtcd 'by organized rascality 111)0*11
ten ? innocent people, was that of the
Prccdmnrfa Savings Rank, incorpora
ted 1 i'lvUie par&icsl days of Radical
ism 'by a Republican Cojugiess and
manipulated* by it ' Oet of dishonest
politician!) BtyHng'tlipinsclVca friends
of the ''oppressed and down-trodden
colored people of the South.'' The
most wonderful feature of this swin
dle js that the very men, maf.y of
thorn, who deceived the ignorant nc-!
gro by their plausible Wolds and fair
promises, are still in our midst and
dare to walle with their heads up
among honest people and their inno
cent victims. Akin to lhis, 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 thinl
that the victims of their broken faitl
and base deception ought to come up'
to their help: against the Democratic
oaity, against' an honest government,
and sliU more, against the Southern
whites the natural friends of the col
i ored people. Money approximating
two millions of dollars or more was
paid by the col?rc,d people of the
South out of ?"their sayings, into this I
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. No
effort was ever made by Southern
Radicals or Northern Republicans to
ccmipvl- the stockholders to close up
the affairs of the hank, or to make a
public exhibit of its assets or the
moneys on hand. If it had not been'
the good foi lunc of the country for the
Democrats to ^et control of the got-1
erncient/' no, effort would ever have j
beeriVihadc to cxposethe fraud or lo re- j
pay the colored pcopiea dollar of their
savings. The first movement in this di
rection v/as nja.de last week by Hon.
M. jtVO'Connor, a Democratic mem
ber of Congress from .South Carolina,
who 1 introduced'a hill requiring llnsj
Tr$c? Company to make out n full!
j am", complete inventory of all moneys,'
claims and assets belonging tb 'the
Savings hank ; v quiring the Treasu
rer to sell all personal and real estate
iof the company composing the hunk ;
and after si:: motittis to p'ay to the j
depositors the 'balance of deposits j
I that may have been paid into his
I handy ; and also appropriating a sulll
leicnl sum of money necessary to com
plete the payments, to meet the ends
iof justice, a::d, thus in some measure
! lo wipe out the slain on the gover
' incut put upon it by Northern Repub
licans and Southern Radicals.
Surely this act alone, of Mr. O'Con
nors, is sullicrent to prove to the col
; orvc! people 'who arcotlfcif friends, and
which pariy'is ihhrcprompt in doing
them justice und awarding them all
the rights under the Jaw and constitu
tion. Let the campaign1 of 1880 at
test their ajipvcciatibn of the man who
dares to inaugurate such a movement
and their confidence' in the party
which dares by their Votcj to con
sum trie so just and to honorable a
scheme in their behalf. It is the mis
sion of the Democratic party lo deal
fairly by all men, and the ability lo
pei lb- m sdcccsslully this great duly
will depend very much upon the.col-;
lured vole pi the South which we feel
sure will be cotdially given when the
decision demands it. '.' j
The Convicts. j
Much has been spoken in the Leg
islature and written in the papcis
upon the cruel treatment of the con
I viols practised by the parties w ho
j have leased them, from the Stale dtt
j ring 'th'p present j car. if all the re
ports bp-true, L is bat) enough and
the mailer 'needs''investigation by the
Stale authorities at as catly a day as
possible. I'unishmenl, not inhuman
ity, is the purpose of the law,-and it
is certainly stepping beyond thai pur
pose to stiller "any fetich cruelty lo be
inflicted upon convicts. The Slate,
thiough her representatives, is alone
responsible and should make every
if'florl lo cot reel the evil?not by put
ling the criminals in Ihc Penitentiary
or jails as uo man}' fattening pens
where tlicy mny ljvr, anll'die in idle
ness, but under thp la\ys of a Chris- '
liau humanity and ah enlightened 1
reason, make them industrious labor-j
era in just such lichls where they will
be most profitable lo the Slate. In 1
I the present condition of poverty of
our people, it is impossible for the
Slate loif.id to any considerable extent
in tire, building of railroads, highways,
canals', or other internal improve
ments by money as was tisiutl bpforc
the war ; but she can aid more ell'ect
ively lhart cv'er by letting out her
convicts under certain restrictions of
of comfort, diet and health us the
honor of Ihc Stale and tho welfare of
the convicts may demand. Indeed
v/c take it to be mithing amisc" t?
ttiaks tho prisoners, serving1 out their
sentence term in our county jails,
Work.''the roads, build bridges and
j otherwise serve the" 'community,
j against which they offended, as the
I authorities might deem proper. Our
j County'Commissioners by good man
agement; might save our citizens hun
dreds'of dollars if they had'access to
cheap labor. To'the criminal, labor
is punishihcnt ejid answers the pur
pose of the law ; but cruelly lo that
criminal is a crime against tho law,
punishable as other crimes arc pun
ishable. Such a disposition oTci'imi
. ?? ? ? .
milt, is nothing new in a Christian
country, but is practised by tho most
advanced states ot* Europe, and for
aught wo know, in portions of our
own country, working profitably not
only to the Stale but'tho criminal,
making him industrious and accus
tomed lo labor, so lhat when ho is
igain restored lo freedom he may be
ible to make a deCent living honora
?ly and honestly.
Tho Legislature,
The activity with which this body
went to work at the'beginning, and
the commendable anxiety of its mem
bers for a shd:t session, seem lo be
falling oir Boiiic what as the work and
the session progress. Each day wit
nesses *Th'eIntroduction of a host of
prcliinihu'ry bills and thus d large
amo?hl of work, of no special impor
tance, has been placed before the,
Legislature, which will require more
than the time alfoCted at the, c t..
mencemcnt for the session. Indeed
unimportant matters seem to receive
Tcnve attention now than important
measures. According to the expe
rience of the past this State 'of things
indicates a quantity cf g'ns in the
! shape of set speeches, "which must bo
j discouraged by the less umbilicus
j members. What we'need is the'c'on
I sidcrution alone of a few vital' makers!
liy tho committees to be acted upon ut
an early day by the Houcc and Sen
ate, and then an adjournment will be
in order. Let the speech makers hold
their fire for next fall when ample
opportunity will bo allowed every
.one lo show his patriotism both by
word and deed.

A Good Time to Sei I Cotton:1'
If Mr. Forwood is correct in bis fig
ures and estimates?and as presi
dent of the international cotton ex
change he should be?it verifies the
position recently assumed in these
columns, and soi.nds 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
more evident than that the present
boom is based entirely upon specula*
lien. Certainly the trade abroad his
not revived sufficiently to justify a
demand for the staple greater than
has hern the case in previous years,
and now this prominent Liverpool
merchant adds his evidence to show
thai the present high prices rest on
no' safe or substantial foundation. Jl
is obvious, therefore, lhat, sooner or
later, a reaction munl ? set in, and
1 when il docs'; prices will be likely to
decline r.s' rapidly as they have ad
vanced. The safe course for our far
mers lo pursue is to lafce in their pro
fits while they have them. At pres
jent prices, they can realize hand
somely on their crops, and can be
i placed in condition lo begin opera
' lions next year under much more fav
jorable auspices than at any lime since
the war.- Then when the decline
comes they will' be saveil harmless.
The speculators who have artificially
raised the price of the staple will lie
the only'onds* hurt, but the .country
at large will not ho in the slightest
degrcn injured thereby.?Savannah

Electioneering.
That a certain ajiiount of elec
tioneering in legislative bodies is ne
cessary, fair and' just, wc admit; but
that our legislators should devote loo
j much time to canvassing for men for
office, and gambling in "futures^' in
politic9, is, we think, unjust lo their
I constituents. Legislation, gentlemen,
legislation is what the people want, if
any is necessary, and not culling and
drying men for offices as the good
housewife dbcs'ftpplcs and' peaches for
marke]. As to "futures," let the peo
ple lalte care of thorn. Only look at
prcsunl duty, and 'meet it fairly'and
!squarely, Is a place lo be (filed?
Measure the man,carefully, and if he
fits, put him in ; if. he docs not, cast
him away into the iiibbish of the
temple, where lie belongs.? Yioman.
