Our Danger and our Duty. \Ve do not think we can fairly be classpd among those usually designated as alarmists, but as public journalists, we would bo direlict in our duty, if wo did not allude to the present danger, which threatens us. It is currently reported that some of the Radical headlights in this County recently held a caucus in which was discussed the propriety or expediency of that party nominating a mil ticket tins Fall. We are informed tbat they intend running Republicans on their ticket, but that they propose to nominate a Full ticket front the best citizens of Abbeville County, including perhaps four of the six Democratic nominees for the Legislature. The Republicans of this County, as we understand it, concede that the office-holders shall be chosen from the Democratic party, but they propose t<? ?> in flpptino thein. Thi>! course, they tliink. will k?>op the party! organization complete, and in tii*htiniri triin foi the campaign of 18Sft," without j excitini; the enthusiastic opposition .?f| the whole Democratic party. If tin ! Kadicals are not as innooent as doves, we think it will hardly be denied that they are as wise as serpents. During the present seeming division or dissatisfaction in the ranks of the Democratic part> of j Abbeville County, they contemplate put- j ting a ticket in the field equal to our own, and chosen from our own party. If they should carr}* that design into enect, and in the miflst of our own bicksrings, they should present a ticket which, of itself, is more acceptable to a large and respectable portion of the Democratic party, who is able to prophecy the result? The rosult of the primary election in choosing nominees has been known for ten days, and, as we said last week, we had hoped the bickerings between ourselves would immediately cease, and that as a ' consequence, our wounds would heal in good time. Bui it seems to us that little in that direction has been done. The contest between individuals for nominations was conducted with a fierce ness heretofore unknown to the people <*; Abbeville County. As a consequence Hie mortification af .defeat has been greater,' and the impruden( exultation "f the victorious parties have added p<>ignancv fresh wound**. Good judgment, i< would seem, should prompt a suppression ??f any manifest exultation over :i defeated candidate or his friends. Especially i> this true, when the defeated f?art> is ready to charge his want of success r<- his advesary's unfair conduct in the cam- 1 paign. No act ofcommunnities has -riven more general dissatisfaction, by whomsoever practiced, than the plan of "plumping" favorite candidates. Ii has given rise on the part of many to feelings of distrusl as to the course wicli may be persucd at the general election, and unless the fears of a recnrrence of such a reprehensible act at the ballot box, are allayed, there is none j i wise enough to foretell the result of the j general election in November. For the present state of affairs we would not ascribe all the blame to any particular par- ] ty. We merely deprecate the fact thai j there is dissatisfaction, and would be glad : if we can offer a word which may tend t<? j' allay dissension In our ranks. In this L connection we would repeat the admoni- i \ tion so often given by Colonel Cnthrnn,! I that we allow no root of bitterness to!' spring up among us. We are in the face ! t of a powerful foe, with whom w<- ar? *>n | < the eve of joining battle. In that contest |( %ve need the friendly tach of t-lbow of IJ every man in th^ Democratic ' partw ] Without it, defeat awaits us, and ? those who irritate and divide our pe?"?pk ' should rest all the blame. The resolves ( ' of party Conventions, and the obligations i of party ties, will fall to control the votpr 1 where too much of personal feelings on- j ter. We cannot by force of the party lash compel tho voter to support a candidate I whom he personally dislikes. This is ' doubly true, -when the foe offers him a | ticket not inferior to the regular'noinina- j tion and upon which are friends or men ? i>ot personally objectionable. Our <langer is very great, and we would urpe, for . the public good, that all personal biekcr- ( ings cease at once. The nominees, although sotne of them j objectionable to many of our people as! well on account of the nominees thorn-! selves as on account of the means used to) ^ secure their nomination, must be sustain- ^ ed unflinchingly. The scheme of the Republicans would destroy lis. It is a Tro- 1 jan horse, full of armed men. By it our adversaries would in a measure accom- , plish by strategy that which cannot be dono in battle. Jeff David-?The Governor's Action ? in his Case. 1 Last week we published the oflicial opinion of Judge Mackev in reference to j the Dav?d-Franklin matter, as well as ( the Governor's order, transfering the custody of the prisoner from the jail at Ab- ; Dcviue uourt tiouse to the State peniten-! tiary on tho Congaree. Wo are at a loss to understand eithev the motive of Judgf [ Mackey in making the recommendation ' or the reason governing the Executive in j complying with the recommendation. Tn fact, we are at a loss to know why | the prisoner is taken from our jail.' If the recommendation or the ordei meant to create tho impression that there j was danger of the prisoner being lynched i it was an injustice to the people of Abbe- j ville County ; if it meant that there was j danger of his escape from our prison, it j may be construed as a reflection upon the ] care and diligence of our jailer, which, reflection would, in our opinion be unjust. We have a good jail and o careful 1 jailer and we are at a loss to know the I cause of this mysterious movement in regard to Jeff David's custody. What-1 '. - ever-opinion individuals may hold of hisj guilt or innocence, there is no fear of vio-1 lenco to the prisoner at the hands of the j people of Abboville County. While some persons may have felt disposed to sensure the Governor for his leniency in 80 OITcn respiting mo conuemneu man, we believe the great majority of our peoIjSjfe pie will cheerfully defer to the Goverjg|B nor's judgment in the matter. It seems to have given the matter jgreat consideration and we have no doubt ho will do his duty in tho premises. As a matter of fact and of law. JefT is either an innocent mau or a murderer in the first degree, and a number of well iuformed citizcifs assume that there is no half way ground on which the Governor can place Jeff. "While we can readily enough understand why the Governor hesitates to allow the sentence of the Court to be enforced, we cannot see how it is possible for the Governor to turn loose upon any community a convicted prisoner to whom i3 attached so many badges of guilt. It is not just to an incensed community, and such a course might have a bad effect upon the morals of a law-abiding peopie. Whether Jeff is guilty or innocent, it is all tho merest "bosh" to associate the name of McGarvey witn tne muruer 10 clear Jeff of at least participation in the crime. We are informed by the Solicitor that there is not evidence enough acrainst McGatvey to bring him to trial. and wo aro also informed that sworn affidavits by respecJable citizens have been deposited with the Court proving that McGarvey on the night of' the murder was at a certain place, distan twenty miles or more from the scene o the crime. These certilicatc3 in the ab scnee of evidence of guilt is certainly enough to convince anybody of the ab surdity of charging the commission o the bloody deed to him, and at the sarin time clearing Jell' David of the undispu table evidence of his guilt. We feel sun that Governor Hampton has no desire t< paralyse the judicial arm of the govern ment. lie is actuated, we believe, by tin purest motives and a desire to give exac justice to even the lmmble?t citizen. If In should delay the execution for an indefi nite time we shall bo satisfied, but w< trust, without additional light on the sub ject, that Ilis Excellency may not often, this eomifiunity by retuvning lrim to m 1 r\C hie in with a pardon aim ;i amnuuv ... noeenee of tlie grave criino of which h< has been convicted. ^ Disturbing: the Elements. In Marion County it seems that tin Democrats arc lighting among them selves. Col. IUnc, a member of the las Legislature, is a candidate for re-election and from his appeals to the dear peopl< and the poor tax payers, we presume hi: prayers will not go unheard and that hi; re-eletion is an assured fact. The dea people are a grateful folk, over whos< eyes the wool is very easily drawn, lie twecn the Merchant and Fanner and tin Marion Star, no love is lost, while tin proprietors are at daggers points.

We ask the especial attention of on readers to the wise and statesmanlike doc ument oftho Executive Committee to b found in another column. Calm, delifo erate, discreet, just, it cannot fail to moo the endorsement of every Democrat ii South Carolina, while it will at the sam time command the respeci ofonr politic? adversaries. We feel that wo can wit safety sp*ak for the Da-nocracy of Abbe ! ville County when we declare that its sen timents are the semtiments of our pcopb and we also feel assured that we can wit equal safetj* pledge our Democracy to faithful compliance with all the requirr ments contained therein. The address i its efforts to obliterate the color lin meets a responsive echo hero. We mea ; to treat the negro fairly in the future, s j wo have in the past. Our rule has bee one of peaceful persuasion, not one ol ai bitrary force. We intend to treat the ru: gro so that we shall have his respect an confidence. A forced acqaiescanco to on rule is not what we want. To array tli ; whites and blacks against each other is t ' establish a rule of torment, disquiet an unrest. Our sway of kindness sha soothe the turbulent clement and peac shall reign supreme in Abbeville Countj We shall have no violence. > Tlae addxcs3 gives a just rebuke t l' .- *" ' *, -. 11 those who would fight outside the party i'jby raising issues not contained in the -! platform and at the same time pronounrices a just anathema on those who would -. encourage distention or division, for any f reason or upon any pretext. l* l'oad the address,and then roadjl again. - Tl is the host paper that has emanated i* j l'n?in t)cniocratie head quarters since the > j war. -| ? i''"The Whole Ilend is Sick, the Whole I Heart is Faint." [' Wre agree with the Charleston News ana Courier in the belief that "to have ? | "been an original Straightout is not a "j "patent to nobilty in South Carolina." Wc have of Into lieani so inucn 01 mis s and otherels.inis to superiority in judgment and patriotism that' we have become " nauseated and disgusted. If it is an honor to have been an original Straightout Democrat, we think common decency, common sense, and common delicacy ; would prompt these over-wise and su perlativcly patriotic citizens, to allow otht ers t" proclaim their praise. Wo stick t" , the old opinion, that "self-praise is halfscandal." For our own part we want to s hear no more of it. The true rule of mers it should be, not who ww first a Straightr ouf Democrat, but who now best advance cos the interests of Democracy. Some of - theso exceeding sagacious citizens who r> tirst embraced the Straightout policy, did b less for the cause of Hampton and Home - Rule, than many of those who were loss r> precipitate in their action in urging a s change in the public policy of the Domo eratie party in South Carolina.

In the mean the Governor of South Carolina sent Colonel Treutlen, chief constable of the State, to Governor . j Rice, of Massachusetts, with :i requisition for Kimptoii. Later Kimpton was r given a hearing in the city of Boston, be;jfore the Attorney General of that State, I flwi I'lw-ftffinoi" 4 tin flh.'Mvn mill mwiti | i whose recommendation the Governor 11 would act, when quite an array of the I'jbest leg-.il talent appeared on both sides, >! including Attorney General JYouinans, , who it was understood in South Carolina ;; had gone North on a pleasure excursion, : or for his health. J The ease was of unusual interest, and ! has cxcited general attention all over the ' countrj*. The Boston papers have given much space to the matter. The Advertiser publishes Attorney-General Youman's and ex-Governor Chamberlain's speeches in full, covering six columns of the smallest print. Tin* -1 dvaittcr says, "of course there ' is no means of knowing what conclusion [ the Governor will reach in iho case. If , he decides to surrender Kimpton, that, we understand, will not be the end of the I ease, for his counsel will then#apply to ilio courts for a writ of habeas corpus, 011 the ground, we suppose, that his arrest was accomplished without due form ol' law.

' j 4 The Case' of Coogler. , Bi.ackvillk, August 20,1878. r To the Editor of the yeu\iand Courier: , In yourtasue of yesterday I notice an Item bonded "A Curious Case," in whichlt Is stated tliat one Coogler whs convicted at the last .rune term of the Court of Sessions for the County of Lcxlnston of arson, for burning the barn of one Hher.ly In the summer of 1865 and sentenced to be hung under therccentact j of the Legislature. i This is Indeed "A Curious Case," but It becomes much more curious when It appear/! that Coogler should not have been sentenced at all or even convicted. I am of ihc opinion that i coupler was wrongfully convicted and doubly illegally sentenced. Let us see lmw his ease stands. The crime . Wi..s committed in the summer ol 18G3. 1 Jy act ( ! Assembly of JmJl, Statutes at I<arge, . Vol. XII, [' igeOi'i, the punishment for arson is death. Tills act is repealed by act of 1800, Statutes at Large, Vol. XIV, page 175. and . fixe;; the penalty at ten yearsof llf<^ Jniprison incnt in the Penitentiary,according to the ag-| gmvatloh of the olt'cnce, and this has been of \ force ever since and until the act of March 22, , 187tf. Several amendments were made be. lAveen isiil ami lWi'J, but none that cll'eets the Issue before us. It appears, therefore, that at . Mie time of tlie commission of the crime, and , at the lime of the trial, the death penalty , wa" of force against the crime of arson. It In equally clear, however, that. Coogler could not have been legally sentenced under the . act of lHOI, for thai act was repealed by the . act of ls/;<> an-! was and lu no lunger of force. , The act of 1X78 does not revive nor re-enact the act of 1801, nor docs it repeal the act of 1ft ill J?iif. for Mia vi?rir froiirl r*?n.?uin tluit.H 1 might cover the cane* that hail arisen and which ini-:ht arise during the sixty days' graee allowed by the act of 1878, before It ] took elicet, II. wps allowed to remain of force. I Neither could ho have been properly sen, tenced under the act of 18(19, since the pen, alty under that rtct had expired by the 11ml^ tatlon of the act of 1878. It was equally j wrong to sentence under the act. of 1878, since it was not of-force nt the time the crime I was comndtied, and to use that act would be to make It cxp>mt facto, which Is unconstitu. tlonal. So fur from that, the late act does not , take effect upon Its passage, but stxty days . after. Under this state of the law It seems to me clear that Ooojjler was Improperly convicted ; and Illegally sentenced. That he stood upon the same ground occupied by the defendant In the case of "the State vs. Thomas," (XIV ltlch., 1(3,) In which Judsfc Wardlaw says, in delivering the opinion of the court: "There can be no Judgment under the act of 1780, for that Is repealed. There can be none under the act of lsflO, for to punish under it would ' be to make it er. poul/aclo." Tills case and . Coogier's are very like as to the legal points involved, it is certainty my opinion inai ('oogier whs improperly convicted and sentenced. and Judge Aldrich ought not to hesitate tosfcn his petition for pardon. I K. PAX. #r? i The Ticket. Hon. John C. Maxwell has been renomln(ir teil for senator from Abbeville county. Oun ' i>eople have great cause for congratulation I" that they have l>een thus enabled to retain in ; their service one so eminently quail (led to do . hotK.i t>> Ihe position lie Is again called upon - to till. His clear Judgement, tlrmnessot opint ton, and fearlessness of utterance, won the esf to?*iii ?f his Senalorlal confreres, whom we have often heard speak of him In terms of 1 highest pralso. Messrs. Urndley, Hemphill, MeGownn, Rice . and Jlarper have been nominated for the House. The first two were in the last Legis iature?iiwit time whiuh tried men's firmness and devotion?and their record will speak for itself. The oilier three, we venture to predict, will give no had account of themselves when called upon to lay before their constituents a ' resume of the works of their stewardship. Judge J. Fuller Lyon is rem'minuted for ' Probate Judge. The fact that none dared take the flei-l against him is the highest eneo ,limn upon the"manner In which he lias fui1 tilled the duties of hisofiice.

The State Democratic Executive Commit- u tee yesterday adopted unanimously tho following address and ordered It to be publish- a ed. Headquarters State Democratic ) Executivk committer. > Columbia, S. C., August 22, 1878. ) To the People of South Carolina : The State Democratic Executive Commit- _ tee announce to their fellow-citizens that the State canvass will formally open on Septem- _ ber loth. Already thccountles In general are j ready for action, and the Coiiiinltteo cannot doubt that the campaign will be as brilliant as brief. v ? Throughout the canvass the Democracy of t South Carolina will have but one rule of conduct. The platform of 1870, adopted and reaffirmed in 1S71S. Is the supremo law of the uetnocrntic party. isy it the inchest and the . lowest arc bound. No person, or b-Kly of . persons, other than a Plate Convention, can | change or modify Its wise provisions and pa- I trlotlc decliiraMons. Within the lines of the 1 platform the Democracy are safo. Outside of It and beyond it, there is no true Democracy in Soui.n Corolina. No Issue not made In the platform and inconsistent with It can be raised. No Issue made In the platform and con- ' sl?tent. with It can be ignored. i Tlie platform of the Democratic party of 1 South Carolina Is at once a history and a prophecy. It Is the record of what Is past. 1 and the as^nrancof what islocoine. In (tare J declared Democratic principles and Democratic practice. The Issue In South Carolina, as mode by the Democratic party, Is not an Issue of race. On the contrary, the objects of " the Democracy, in retaining control of the State, arc to complete the reform ofnb'i?es, to panlsh public criminals, to maintain the J purity and ability of the Government In all IUbranches, to lower the rnteof taxation and lessen the burdens imposed upon the people, | to ensure pence and concord, and, Including | all else, to give equal and complete protection to every public and private right of person and property. In order tljat the Government,. In the hands of the Democratic party, shall be theOovernment of no one section, of i lit) one race, of no one class, but of the whole ' people of South Carolina, without limitation ? or restriction. So far as time and opportunity have ad- * mitte.1, the Democratic party has kept?to the ( letter and in spirit every pledge or promise made in the platform of 1*70. The State offl- , cers elected two years ago are again the can- I didates of the party. With the same platform and the same candidates holding beneficent possession of every department of ? the State Government, the Democracy of , South Carolina deserve success andean com- i I ...on.1 If A..M 1 1 inccsant work arc indispensable. Unity j must he had. They who slunber on In false 1 security, they who postpone preparation* for < the flght, they who encourage or permit dissension an I division for any reason or upon any pretext, are as much the public enemies as the political lepers whom Democratic rule drives into the l'cnitentlary or out of the State. Malcontents, higirards, disorganizes, shall not pull cown the Democratic party, ali though they may multiply Us difficulties und make the struggle harder and more desperate; and, when the battle Is won, as !t shall lie, the Democratic party, for Its own ?ake, , will pass sentence upon any who, not bclnx , with us, uro against us, and make them, for all time political outcasts, despised by Dem> crats of their own race and shunned by the colored Democrats who have been tried and have kept the- faith. For the white Democrat", the .Ma'c Com mii '.ce are sure, no "ther exhortation lsncedert. They know full well that Democratic rule Is worth having, aiul that what Is worth having is worth keeping, and will he kept. Hy tho colored Democrats, or the State Committee believe, the solhl advantages ofan enlightened and honest government are thor otighly appreciated. They have seen and felt the- dlucrtnce between Integrity and rascality, between lofty Justlcennd partisan rulo. The hope is that th?; colored people, in larger numbers than ever bofr-rc, will march beneath the fold*. >>f tii,;- Democratic banner, and S'iassist the Democracy in perpetuating the work of Govern mental reform and Industri- j al restoration.
