Last week we published the particulars .' of an assault by a negro upon the person ^ of a iv*1te woman, in FalrfieTa county, P" and tli'c subsequent lvhcHfhg of a culprit co uehfr \Vmnsboro. Last Monday the '4 )?cies clnd Cburicr bftng^ Intelligence of j K*^cventeeu-year-oldVi(Sgroboy, com milting a similar crime n'pon the person of a bl white girl at "Rock Hill, aged fifteen years, {} who, at the t'imfe, was with some children w 'gathering plums. The offender had been 'captured ftt last accounts, and we have uo doubt that by this time, he has suffer-, en cd and paid dearly lor his rash act. !th j 'the face of of the certainty of death, it is is Vtningo that any man should Iny violent I bands upon the person of a woman in i South Carolina. As far as our memory | serves us, no single instance Of 'dscapo I has been noted. In every instance af-j'dc rest and identification has quickly TdVl'owed. And the criminals have forfeited es their lives to the stern demands of jus- {J? <ice. With the past record of tnes'o to crimes and the fatal consequences reS'ult- ?j,( ing therefrom, it is indeed strange that men should not be rest rained from com- ro knitting an offence, which is certain to bring prompt and disgraceful death to the th perpetrator. While it is true that it is wonderfully th strange that such outrages are of such fre- ^ quent occurrence, it is not Strang that the A publication of such acts impart to our ^ people everywhere more or less of a feel- lh 5ug of distrust and anxiety for the per- ^ sonal safety of those most dc.iv to us. Our people should be cautious indeed to ti 'avoid running any risks. We presume J*1 the people of Rock Hill a week ago, rx thought as little of their town being the ^ scene of such a crime as any other com- ta munity in the State. Although the cnl- th prit is sure to die for his crime it does not tn :??<:'m to doter evil disposed men from committing the highest offence against ,n society. it Later.?The newspapers of yesterday J* *>ring intelligence of the hanging of the w negro.

Amerievn Register. su Is there vitality and vigor enough left In the n: Democracy to recuperate under the slander* th and abuse heaped upon It by the myrmidons tl ofnower? This Is a pertinent Inquiry lust R' now. One of the subtle devices or tbe ene- bt jnles or the Democracy Is to say that the Democratic party dead, or it ha? not Hie In knd vigor sufficient to recover. Aud weak- cr fcneed and disaffected Democrats give ear to this shallow artltlce. It la true that the Dem- ai oeracy has been kept out of power a icrog fine. But that has been by trick, btratagein. In fraud, and usurpation by the party in power. tl< But a good cause involving the welfare and 8I' liberties of the people, is never to be given up hi on account of defeat. Hummer sohners and d< sunshine patriots will falter find blunder.and bl desert in an emergency. But the true patriot si and philanthropist will die in the last ditch tb before he will surrender to the enemies both ki of the people and their liberties. The pro- to gre*s and development of free Institutions bi have had to pass over a long, rough, and of bloody road, and against the opposition of ill- al gotten power, and the chicanery fraud oi un- in hallowed ambition, resisting it al every step, or The Democracy is the party of the people, The term itself signifies a governmehtof tbe w people. Those who want the reign of one su man. or of a few over the many, will of ta covrseoppose it In every shape and form, and lu by every device, fair or foul. But truth and si: light must finally prevail, aud then the/aitftfal will have their reward, not only in honors m juslyduo them, but In the approval of a good to conscience in a great cause, worth more than If ?li the offices, honors, aud omolumentaof the government. fa , . , In Tl Democrats Stand to Colors# di [Lexington Dispatch.] ^ .

If lie ok testimony on this subject he had to take ie testimony of the very negroes who, had sen sent out to Supervise this election iti the itcrest of Mac-key. because they were the en that the majority of the committee said ley relied upon. ,He would have to take tl:e | stimonv of men who made these voluntary tidtVvlu lb the interest ot Mackey. There as scarcely a man friendly to Dibble who mid help In respect lo this matter, so far as| ? could see from hisstandpoint. but was. as 11 ' 1 belbre, In the very camp of the enemy. The committee said: "No; we know you' e surrounded by the enemy; we have tied ! >ur hands and feet, and we deny your ap^li- \ IHOII ; WBUlllJf JWU illlj .....V. j i go South yourself and lake this testimony to linve the conimlttee Investigate the uth touching the allegation of fraud ntid I langeand forgery, corroborated iis you have | sen able to corroborate your allegations." I y that was an outrage, n legal outrage. I! ?eak with deference of the committee, bemse I accord to then* the same disposstion to ! honest UlAt I claim for myself. But I say j i eveiy than who knows any thine about ap-1 Icatlons of this kind that it was a legal outge upon the rishls of Mr. Dibble. In a Court, upon an application of that] lnd.lt is not certain that the Court would) . en receive testimony on the other side. In | 1 application for a continuance the Court aliws affidavits to be read for the purpose of aking a prima facie case. In applications it generally sufficient to make a probable luse. The parties cannot be expected to in-1 ounce ail ItlC testimony put u:, v.-ipvvu.>ij j hen the parties testly th?t the testimony! ? must necessarily have will come from un- j iendly witnesses. That was all stated before the committee, id, I repeat, they refused to make any lnves-! nation themselves, or to allow anybody else! i make it, but upon the expnrte affidavits I roduced therfc, questionable as they wer<5, all j i the same form, probably nil of them print1 in the City of \Vnshincton and sent down | icre and filled up by men entirely too willIB to do so. the committee denied tlieappUition. It is said that wo were persistent in insisting om time to time upon this point. I confess have been very jierslsiettt, because I f.*el lat It w&s lu the Interest of justice that if .Icn.mo ivfic nllntvert to he tried uoon te-Kti ony thus impeached, tlius interfered with, I ius allowed to renmin for un indefinite time i the surreptitious possession of a man whose iterest It was to chance nnd forge it. then no I an coming into this flouse would ever have i ly guarantee that the integrity of his depotions would ever be preserved, or if tamper1 with and materially changed, that he ould be permitted to prove and show It. A part of the proposition coming from the emocratic side, and it Is the part belt un;rstood upon which I now stand, is what we jve always proposed: not that this seat lould bo accorded to Mr. Dibble If he was ot elected to it, not that it should be gi veh to ackey unless he proved himself entitled to but that the report should be recommitted ith instructions to the committee to investlite upon such testimony to be taken In a ay known to the law?where the parties had le right of cross-examination?the charges of and and forgery reflecting upon the intgrity of these depositions. The proposition was made long ago, and the immune cuuiu huvc ui'.nwvu . ?have been taken which long since would ive settled the question as to the condition ' this testimony alleged to have beor. forged ! : tampered with; they could have done that ther oy appointing a committee of their rn to take the testtmony or allowing comexly else to go and Uike It, taking other depotlons about the Intesrity of which there mid be no question. But they did not do it. j Now wc come to the question, and I ask any Dnest man on the other side who proposes lis investigation to be governed by the prinplesof law, who Is willing to be controlled ir those principles whicn have been crystalcd by the wlnaom of aces, and which have en found by thejudlclal tobeof importance i protecting the Integrity of testimony?I ;k them whetherthey propose to be governed ! those principles and to suppress these quesonable depositions, and say to the contestit: "You come here with unclean hands; >u must take this testimony all over again you expect Its consideration;" or will you tubllsh the precedent whlce says to every intestant, "If you can get the depositions in- J vour possession by any process you please, italn possession of them surreptitiously, tep them an indefinite length of time, I lange them to suit yourself, and If your adrsarins cannot prove after thirteen months ive elapsed after they have discovered what iu have been doing, mat you have materialaltered the testimony, you shall obtain mr seat upon that testimony InterMneated, tcred or rorged, or at all events when j'ou ive had full opportunity to makeInterllnea>ns and alterations in It. wheh full and ame opportunity lias bcch offered forforgery ?" Now we ask that this testimony beretsiken, ken under such safeguards as will afford the dinary protection In the taking of testlmor for Its preservation and integrity. Then if should turn out that Mackey is electcd by t jhtornlne thousand majority or bo eight! indrcd majority, you will not had mestand-| g In the way of awarding to linn his seat, though It might be questionable, If you .?nld apply t'ie principle which you at-1 mpted to apply in the Ltah ease, whether! ere 1h not something in the manipulation 01 Is testimony that might show Mackey Is not | st the proper person to occupy a seat in this Dusc and to participate In making the laws r the people of this country. rhe principle here presented is all-lmpornt as compared with the mere question liether Mr. Dibble, honorable ax he is, Intel?tual as he is, worthy as he is, shall coutlni to occupy a scat in tit in House. It is alljportaut whether the principles I havemon>ned be maintained, whether the laws shall observed In future contests In this House, liether the statute shall be adhered to or Aether every safeguard designed to preserve e integrity o' testimony shall be broken iwn and trampled under foot^so that every [venturer shall be invited to tuke possession the testimony affecting hiseleciion contest id change it to the uttermost, provided that}; : be' cute" enough not to be discovered. ' THE INTIMIDATION AT THE HEJKLTtU ( POLLS. rhe majority of the committee never refer this testimony, so lar as I have been able to e. excopt lu a single sentence, where'n they y there Is nothing whatever In the test! mof of the contestee to Invalidate the returns nit were rejected. Had such testimony been ven to invalidate a Democratic majority the epubllcans could have seen them had they of only half the size. They look through one end of a telescope of intense pow er to observe charge Of Demoutlc violence and intimidation, and the otli- j end at charges of Republican intimidation : id fraud. Do not misundersand me. I am not asserU i g whether upon these charges of intiniida-j r>n and violence these returns should or. lould not be rejected. The whole cavc Is exblted through the false medium of forged positions on one side of the case and cared and changed testimony on the other de. Whether through the dark rifts any of ie sunlight of truth comes or not we do not 1 low. We say that the medium Is too unsafe j i be made the predicate of Judicial action. I it we assert that the Republican committees ; elections and a Republican House have on : I occasions rejecte<l returns for vloience and timldation on testimony of tb6Ruinc weight, even of much less cogcflcy. It Is Immaterial for us to say whether we ould, if the testimony was reliable, reject icto returns or not. We know that the founlns of evidence haw been poisoned and polled by Mackcy artd his henchmen, and we lould reject the poisoned stream. If. however, we considered the alleged testlonv, all must admit It presentsastrongcase iJustify the exclusion of the returns. And excluded, O'Connor had over 3,000 majority, i One strong consideration presents itself in vorof exclusion, and that is the unlawful iterference of pretended deputy marshals, hey swarmed at nil the polls in the country istrlcts. They assumed authority and claimI the right to arrest the managers of eleoon; they Interfered with voters and com;lled them to show their ballots. By their rannlcal and arbitrary acts, and under eol of United 8tates authority, they destroyed emocratlc ballots. They not only had no authority in fact at ?y of the polls, but the Federal Judge presld- ] tie in the South Carolina Circuit before that cctlon made and propounded a decision that . i no part of the Congressional District ex . >pt the city of Charleston could deputy sa. rvisorsor election be appointed, norgener-' deputies for election purposes; that the su- j rvfrors of election for the country district : id no power except to be present at the polls , i witnesses, and had no other right what-' fer; so that these pretended ollicers weresim-: ly usurpers of authority, depriving voters of. le secrecy of the ballot. In flagrant violation | ' the statutes of the United States. No one . in say how the vote would havestood if thi.41 iolenceand Intimidation had not been exerted, and under the rule prescribed In Mc< rary these returns were liable to be exuded. Whenever tMs question of Intimidation is ilsed the Republican party make themselves , lerry at the idea of u negro bull-dozing a I l?lte Democrat. The suggestion is the fruit of extremrjlgnor-1 ice, as a general rale. Such may sometimes j :cur. Rut the violation and intimidation I >niplained of is that of tl*e colored toward j lelrown race. They expect a white man to i ote Phe Democratic ticket, and demand that j colored man shall vote a Republican ticket, hey Insist on keeping up the color line. ?*ben a negro wants to break over It they i roscrlbe him in church and society, abuse Im in public and private, and If they cannot I :>ntrol h'is better Judgment as to political , tatters, they assume to control his vote by !

It Is understood that the leading Democrats and Republic.,,, I., nni hi>D., iil.l,,1 toacrecas to whether a Democrat or Rcpub-j lican shall be nominated for Congressman at, large. The Republicans Insist that they will not goover to the Democratic wine of tneLlb-j era I party. Many Republican leadersare hire! In sympathy with the Convention, but not as j delegates. The Convention adopted resolutions against | the existing county and State Governments, i demanding a free ballot and fair count, the | repeal of the Prohibition Act submitted to the i pe >ple last August and rejected, favoring a! liberal systerii of public instruction by the j State and National Governments, and urging an application or the fund arising from the j tax 011 spirits to common schools under the' supervision of the United States.

'J'he pastor Is the colored preacher who has become famous for his sermon entitled, "The sun do move.'' The youth referred to inn away from home and told many lies to his mother, hoping at the same time "that God would paralyze his tongue if what he stated was not true." Soon afterward he began to talk with difficulty. He conllnued in this condition lilt the night of the church meeting, when In as loud a voice as he was able, he made the same dechualIon, calling upon God to paralyze his tongue. Immediately afterward he was unable to speak, and there was treat consternation. The congregation beilcve that the boy has been struck dumb for lying.

JLil At/ T UitOAA Sermon bv tlie Rev. K. L. Hnrper in the Metliodisl Ciiurcli at Abbeville. " Wim tift-sinz through Ihc Tulley of B:ica msko It a xv< 1< ; lilt* rain uls'i fill<-tli tlie pools.?1'?. Si: 0. Three times n year It was customary lor the Israelites to repair to Jerusalem to celebrate with suitable services, the goodness and mercy of Jehovah. 'J'o those who II ved nt the extremities of Palestine, or who had emigrated lo regions beyond. the Journey must have been Ion;; and * toilsome. A portion of the route l>y which some had lo reach the city lay through a sandy desert. No fountain with fringe of palms relieved this dreary waste. No stream meandered through It, delighting the eye with its crystal flow, and charming the ear with Its gentle melody. To pilgrims this place was known as "th?? Valley of Haea." The word "Baca" is derived from a verb which si"nl(les to weep. And doubtless this name was applied to It on accfhint ol the tears which sprinkled it as travelers toiled through Its scorching sands. Relief, however, was lobe found In this valley by tho?e who crossed It on their, way to participate In the worship at Jerusalem. While ordintlrily it was dry, yielding no water to refresh the exhausted frame, the Israelites had now only to dig wells. to prepare pits, and rain from heaven would supply their need. Thus they could "go from strength to strength, and every one of them In Zion appear before God." As the special dwelllhg-placc ot God, Jerusalem was a type of heaven. Alul we cannot tlilnk of "thetrlbes going up to the testimony of Israel, toglve. thanks unto the name of the Lord." without being reminded of our own pilgrimage 11S Christians to the "city which hath foundations, whoso builder and maker Is God,."' As in Iho ease of the Israelites, som<-begin their journey almost within sijjht of the city's spires; 011 the steps of Infancy they glide through Its Jeneled gats Others seize the start", and commence their march among distant hills: with silver locks and bent and trembling forth, they draw near the celestial city. Our route, too, has Its "valley of Baca." It has. Indeed. Its meadows gay with roses .Of Sharon, and Its mountain-tops from which We catch fur off glimpses of the city of peace, lfut. it has also its "desert place"?a place .Vvlicre trackless sands and sultry winds and burning sun unite to oppress the spirit. "Through much tribulation we enter into the Kingdom of <iod." Pilgrims are ofton found weeping on their way to Zion. Prostrate beneath some friendly juniper, they are heard-like Elilah moaning Jt is enough: now. O Lord, take away my life." But not thus should we traverse thlw dismal vale. It is our privilege to "rejoice in tribulation," Those who pass this spot on other eniind than ours may well weep and larnertt. The desert of affliction yields 110 Joy totheslnfal ami Impenitent. But there Is comfort for believers amid the severest tiials They have only to open wells' and'the rain wf.l filll them. They have only to applj ehelr thoughts and energies a? directed by the 1)1 vine word, and heavenly consolations will reward their labor. "They that tValt upon the Lord shall renew their strength'; the.v shall mount up with wings as eagles; the.v shall run, and not be weary ; and they shall walk and not faint," Fellow-Pilgrims, are any of you this morn' Ing In the "\ alley of R:ica" ?

Tue first well I would have you open?or t/> drop the II mi re, the first f.iet I would havt you consider, Is the brief duration of youi aflictions.

The second well I would Have yoii digthe second fact I would tiave you cousidcrI Is tlie Divine origin of your nfllictions. I Who made the valley ofFaea? He whnsi hand reared Lebanon with Its cednrs am Ciimiel with its excellency. lie knew, whet He meted out Its length, how often It wouh be traversed by the Israelites in thelrjoutne; to Jerusalem.

The greater xtiumbe | of our afflictions as Christians, however, aris ! from the direct appointment or permission c God. We were prudent lu < ur investments yet riches took wings and Hew away.

O brethren, totiini through Baca's vale, come, open the wHlthe ruin will quickly till it,?coino, conslde the Divine origin of your afflictions?it wil put nerve into your hearts and strength am tlcctness into your steps. What gave sucl buoyancy to the spirit of Job in the midst o his disasters ? It was n quail from tlie well o which I speak. The Saheans and Chaldean hal destroyed hi* property; the hurrlcanc had bulled hlschildien beneath the house o their festivity; but. not lo these did heascrlb his losses; he saw in them but the subordl nate agents of a higher will; and he exclaim ed , "The Lord gave, and the Lord hath takei away ; blessed lie the name of the Lord." I was this same well which so often refreshen I)anid in the midst of his culimiilies. We find him taking comfort front the thought "When my spirit was overwhelmed witliir me, then thou knewcxt my path." And w? hoar him saying, "I was dumb. I opened no my mouth, because lltou didst it." 3. The third well I would have you dig?thi third fact I would have you consider?is tin manifold use* of attlctlon. Did the valley of Baca serve no useful pur pose? Did it not test the loyaLity of the Is raelltes to Jehovah? Would any one tol through tts sands unless hfc reverenced the authority which commanded the Nation t< make these pilgrimages to Jerusalem ? Lov< to God nnd zeal for his service were presup posed In making these annual Journeys. Ant notice says the psalmist, "Blessed is the mar whose strength is in thee ; In whosehcartare the ways." ''The ways" were trodden beeausf loved, as conducting the pilgrim to the house ol God. The valley of Baca was of furthei use in developing theenorgy and patience o the Israelites. In addition lo this it served t( illustrate the all-sufficiency of God. llo\< streugthenin*; must It have been to the fain of the Israelites to see the rain deeend and til Mmnltc wlilpli Miav hiifl itlii? til evmctiitiim f> Divine succor ! The valley oftJacauiso |>rc pared tliein In appreciate more fully lli< pleasures awaiting them at. Jerusalem. Tlx fatigue which tliev hail undergone put new notes of gladness Into tliclr song ns they praised the God of Jacob in his holy temple Brethren, is there no analogy between tlx uses of this valley a id the ail vantages to Ik derived froxn our own afflictions? I)o noi trials test the strength and sincerity of oui love to God? The weeds whose roots barelj cMng to the soil Is scorched and withered by the fierce bonins of the summer sun, while the goodly tree whose roots penetrate far be low the surface is stirred ami quickened into more vigorous and fruitful life. How quickly Is more vapor dispersed by the rising wind ; how little recks the mountain the fury of tlx storm. The miner who lias found a lump oi gold is better satisfied afler lie lias submitted it to the proper lasts. But to know that w< are regenerate of which our trials Help t? make us aware is more important than te know that we possess millions of gold. Afflc tlon also serves to develop and beautify char acter. Some plants do not bloom until attei tiiev have undergone a winter. It is often thus with ourselves. Not until we have been subjected to tne snows of adversity and tlx withering blasts of multiplied afflictions do we unfold the beauties of the Chrlsilar character. "Tribulation," say* the apostle "workcth patience"; and the estimate which is put upon patience in Scripture we may learn from the words. "Let path nee have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect aui entire, Wanting nothing." Affliction bhowf us how God can sustain us under the tnosi unfavorable clscumstaces, They thus magni fy His grace, and give grounds for the exerclM of a stronger faith. Affliction, by contrast will slso enhance the Joys of heaven. Tlx longer the tempest, the sweeter the calm ; tlx harder the toll, the more welcome the rest O brethren, why so sorrowful in itaca'svale' open this well?the water will replenish II consider the u?es of your affliction?y?iu wil renew your strength and go 011 your way re Jolclng. 1. The tourth well I would have you open it prayer. "Js any among you afflicted?'* asks St James ; and his answer is, "I.et him pray.' As a source of comfort In trouble, prayer If recommended in Scripture not only by pre cept but also by example. See Jacob in tlx gloom of night standing alone by the brook Jabbak. Me is alarmed at the prospect o meeting i:sau, He remembers his brother'* threats. lie seeks relief in prayer. H< wrestles (physically as well as spiritually) foi a blessing. The morning dawns; but noi ; more radiant !: the sunshine, not more scrent j are tuc heavens, than that triumphant man Hear Davhl recalling with thankfulness tlx efflcacy of prayer In his afflictions. "Iu th( day when I cried than answered me, an: shcngiiicnedst n.e with strengih in my soul.' iSee the Saviour preying In Gcthscmanc. ant mark the flight Of t tie angel as he descends to strengthen Him. Hear Paul pleading lor the removal of Ills "thorn in the flesh," and sec ! him rising at last, not with the thorn extract ed, but with such a sufficiency of grace that he can glory in his Infirmity. The tree ha? only to strike its root Jin to the earth, and, in some mysterious manner, nourichment will ; will be furnished it; and tiie sou! in trouble has only to reach into the unseen and take linn hold of Goo. and, in some hidden way sustenance will be uflorded.
