fcIII I ? 11,11 tie Press and Banner. E?j Ilusjh "Wilson and !!. T. Ward law. Wednesday, June 28, 1882. The South Carolina Unlm-slty an<l; the Baptist Courier. I Tn tlio lust two issues of the fiaptist j, 'Coxiric*- Jtherc af pesr what rr.iirht justly It be termed remarkable editorials. The signature, "F.," we presume, was in- < tended to indicate that the author was the t Seamed and pious Rev. J. C. Furrrfrari, D. ( T>., one of th* assistant editors of 'lhat'ex- i celleni veligious newspaper When we a say the productions are remarkable, we should perhaps qualify the s^xeitkur, f.^-.d C say that they are remarkable afc emanating v from the pen rf!" ft write? possessing the; n ottrrrnmentx and character of their author, j t X.-lrk ft is no less remakable that such r cditoritt!s should be found in the columns's "<-f otte of the highest toned religious ( newspapers of which we have any ae- 1 fjuaitttanee. The fact is, they are so much r\ out of keeping with the general character! 1 of both the author, and the nowspape.- in i which they appear, that we are lod to j a doubt whether the whole matter is not i really a joke, and intended as ridicule r npott thcstock-in-tradeof cross-roads pel- i i'ttcians. ( The Buptixl Courier in these articles, at ! convenient intervals througout their en-1 ( tiro length, apologises lor criticising meji action of the Legislature, and does so in 1 a manner to lead us to believe that that : i paper thought the General Assembly had ; c committed some unpardonable sin, and h first the author was almost heart-broken i c would at least veil his face, because r of excessive ssWvencss on account of j g tho grievous sin Which our Legislators! a had committed. These articles also make! c imputations against the truthfalness and ' 1 honesty of those who voted 810,000 of the ? ^ 1l/nftn nn an inctifllfinn ! r jo uiuiiuj iw nuvp UM i..?viv....v.. | . which has done more for the culture and a refinement of the people of South Caroli- j r 11a than every College in the State. Thejt talk about poor overburdened taxpayers, j I mid poor people generally, is without jf force except wherein that paper may belt able to pull down our former high stand-j c nrds in education and in thought. The il-! i lustration of the man of ante-bellum j days with his large house and spacious' a barns and stables, if intended to prove that we do not need as high education a how as we did before the war, is fallacious c indeed. The world progresses, and edu- J t cation in the sciences and arts, must also | a progress. We need higher education to- c <lav than we did twenty years ago. c mir intnndrvrl to I r do so or not, ho has cast an f unpleasant reflection upon tbo honesty I and integrity ot those who voted for the S appropriation. As a matter of fact, we venture to hope that the advocates ! nf higher education are as patriotic, as honest, as intelligent, and as able representatives, as those who oppose the high- 1 "*tr education. c The Courier says : "The large-minded I "General Superintendent of Education ( "sought larger appropriations for it [theIt "public schools,] but the Legislature con- j s icuiuii luvuistn ts ? ua <1 w?i- I * 'tribution for something else. He asked j v "for bread and thov gave him a stone." t Translated into plain English theaho^ejo Isontence means: "The Superintendent of 8 Education, afterspending ?415,000 on the s public schools, appealed to the Legisla- f ture for more money. That body refused t t'> increase this enormous appropriation J for common schools, but appropriated i ?10,000 for higher education at the State |C University." When the advocates of t An prtVi r>nl n i n rvkfni n . r\ Vl'llllIlVSi 1 OV,iJ??WlC OIUV.CCU 111 UUUIII1- I w ing the enormous sum of $415,000 for " the special object of their solicitude, s we submit that they should not grumble r about expending the more pittance of t ?10,000 for higher education. 1; The whole tone of the Baptist j a Courier's editorials seems to be in exact fc accord with those who seek votes of the c poor by arra3*ing them agninst the pros- o perous and thrifty. In our opin- j( ion the the thrifty and prosperous n people of the State are entitled to j( some consideration from any man who ^ rises to the exalted position of editor. The people who work hard, who econo- s mise their time and money, who deny u themselves the luxuries and the vices. ? in fliof thaii* romSlina mor lin /*rt?n_ j.. wiuci .. ,.,?v w.w- J, fortable, are at least neighbors and follow 0 citizens. Tlie few people who pay the ^ bulk of the taxes are worthy of notice, C( and should be allowed to participate in p 'Rome of the benefits of the government ^ ' which they support. It has been charg- 0 'cd time and again, that the State Univer- g wity is not for the poor. But every intel- ^ iigent man knows that that College is for c, all the boys of the State. Even if the tj Stnte University should by accident j, benefit the rich more than it did the tj poor, in a spirit of fairness, are they notj y entitled to something in return for the] enormous amount which they contribute] ^ to the common schools? j ai In reply to the statement as to the sale! q of delinquent lands by tlie .State, may oj we not ask if the Furtnan University, whose spokesman is now so solicitous of the welfare of the poor, did not at one time employ the Courts to enforce the payment of sums thus subscribed, regardless of the inconvenience of its ^ friends, who in an unguarded moment 0] "had been induced to give their notes for c] what they were really unable fo pay, and ft, for which thev may have received uo re- ^ turn whatever. ^ In reply to the insinuation that the advocates of higher education, who favored n the appropriation of ?10,ft00 for the State ? University, had misrepresented the posi- ^ tion of the professors in the religious" ^ Colleges, we would ask the learned Pro fessor Furraan to tell the readers of the Baptist Courier how often the friends of the religions Colleges have made efforts p to get Legislative appropriations for their own respectivo institutions. And we r would also ask him to state, as a matter ^ of fact, if, in a final and united effort to p get money from the State, the professors of th? denominational colleges, did not, f in some way indicate that they would 0 cease their opposition to the levy for the j South Carolina University on condition '$ that a large amount of (he people's money I be appropriated for each of their colleges * If it is true that such propositions were j( made, directly or indirectly, are the f( friends of higher education to be hlam- a rd and chargod with falsehood, because of their integrity ? If it is such a sin to n make appropriations for a State college at Columbia, then how much greater the g sin, and how much heavier the expense, to make appropriations to support a denominational college in every quarter of the State ? . a In conclusion: We would not be mis- ^ Understood. We are friendly to all the colleges in the State. We wish each and every one of them the greatest success, ^ but whenever representatives of the de- a nominattonal colleges attack the Soutli Carolina University we may have some- c tmno 10 say in repiy. ?>e uavs iub highest respect for Dr. Furman, and we mean no disroapoct to him personally. Excuse Us. W'c confess our inability to give our Legislature any good advice just now. ^ They will please excuse us this time. We j ^ are completely at sea, and know not what j 'is best. It really seems that there is|j. much discontent and dissatisfaction!^ among our people, and we know not what' o will unify and please them. We have no J j acknowledged leader. Every man seems | to strike out on an indepennent line for ; himself and tho nearest office, and the j ^ mass of the voters are merely waiting for' ^ something to turn up. In the meantime , we hope that our farmers may not neglect! their potato patches. There will he sure j to be a demand for potatoes next Fall and "Winter. J Registration ox Kdisto.?"M. E.,"| writing from Kdisto Island on the lotli instant, says: "The registration of the s voters of this precinct was held yesterday ^ and a part of to-day, during which period ! 862 voters were registered."?A'ew.s and a Courier. t From the number of voters registered v on Edisto Island, in less than two days, v it would seem strange that there should v be complaint of lack of tiiue to register L any voter. , 1 "Would it not hev*?l) for the T.episln- j 1 ure, at the Extra K??sion, to take stops; o ?t!l a Constitutional Convention?

Even if we needed ai lew Constitution, we would like to know I , vhere we could find delegates who could ! \ nake a Constitution half ns good as the * >ne we now have. With our present i dcas of sending incompetent men to the * jencral Assembly to make our laws, we ire of opinion that a Convention in South ' Carolina would make a beautiful job of he proposed new Constitution. If a legislature is incompetent to pass a Regstration law, or a railroad charter, with?ut tinkering and working at them for ^ rears, we should liko to know how they j. :ovld make a Constitution for the Com-L nonwealth of South Carolina. The main J j 'round for seeking a new Constitution is ! I mthority whereby our roll of paid ofli-j^ ers may be increased. Already the;, democratic party has added the names of j J] ibout one thousand officers to the paj'j oil. If they can do this within six years J ifter their solemn promises of retrcnchnents, what would they do if the Consti- L ution did not protect us to some extent? | Jut for the protection which ?ve have I ^ TOm lilt!

From such a calamity may ho good Lord deliver us. We want no .ssembly in Convention to barter away c mr rights, for the sake of personal politi- \ al prefermbnt, or that will saddle an ad- ? litional army of office-holders on the t >eople in order that a Court House may r >e built at every railroad tank in the t Hate. c t rudsre JFackey Returns to the Radical Camp. l Judge T. J. Mackey, who With Judge j'J F. H. Cook, cast his fortune with us in;s >ur struggle of 1876, has returned to the | d Radical camp. Judges Mackey and j c ?ook, it will bo remembered, were soon j r hrown out of office, but Judge Mackey, ,9 ucceeded in securing his re-clection. * f Vs the term for which Judge Mackey s vas elected, was expiring, for some reason [ a hero was a very general expression of j C ipposition to his reflection in 1S31, and s o plainly was the current of popular v entimcnt discernable, that Mackey re- c used to allow his name to be used before v he Legislature, at the re-election of the f fudges last year. Being a politicion, and n bad odor with the Democracy of South Carolina, his only resort was to return to ^ ho old party of corruption. Tho News ^ Cnnricr tViinL-c Mint "it. i?i nlfijisniit t.r> ' be rid of Mackey on any terms and ^ 0 say we, but we do not think we are ^ id of him. On the coutrarv, we believe hat he will be as a thorn in our flesh. lie s as wise as a serpent and as cunning as fox. With a foe like this to watch and C Eike advantage of the errors and Indes- 1 retions of our officers, our Courts, and : t ur law-makers, we shall believe it little a ?ss than miraculous if Mackey dees not rjake his power and influence felt. It is Jle to blind ourselves to the fact that fackej-has the talent,and the sagacity to c ike advantage of our errors or short- ti ightedness. Mackey, we believe to bo ^ nscrupulous, but we think that ho can- [ ot wish to restore the old order of things y 1 South Carolina. The present faction t< f the Democratic party may be defeated, ^ lit we never expect to see illiterate 0 ornfield negroes filling the most im- a ortant offices or sitting in the General b Lssembly?Mackey must know that the ^ Id Radical negro rule cannot be restorod. ti lut he can run for Congress, and if he ti oc8 do so, he will ccrtainly ' enliven the J| invass," even if he does not after v le election warm up some of tho Super- t< itendents of Registration, rnd the elec- it on managers. We see it stated that ? [ackey has already commenced -an ac- <3 011 of some kind against the Superinten- ft ent of Registration in Chester. This Z :tion was commenced in the State " ourts. Tho public are as able to judge e f the result that will follow, as we are 1< The General Assembly. 0 The Legislature of South Carolina met e: esterday in extra session, ostensibly to 'district the State into Congressional ^ istricts. We haven't studied out a map tl r countios, and aro therefore unable to w fTer our Representatives any valuable ssistance in this job which will be a dif- a cult one, if everybody and everybody's ti indidate is pleased. c< The subject of a State Convention will Q( o doubt be discussed, and it is possible, C( iat the destruction oT the country may o e determined upon. If so, the Convenon plan, would no doubt be as effective a < nnv Ti One other matter will no doubt receive a,1 le earnest attention of a portion of our ^ leprcsentativca. We refer to the quos- S| on of making some ten or twelve new \i ourt Houses. Of course there is no ? eneral real need of this additional ex- a( ense, but private enterprise and local s rido will 110 doubt prompt a strong ef- d >rt in that direction. We are squarely pposed to new counties anywhere. The registration law will no doubt bo " iscussed. ei The fence law will come up again. The Columbia Ditch, and those patriot- n *. citizcns of the town who want fortunes u >r their right of way, will need further j ttention. v The Confederate monument will need h n appropriation. | r The Railroads may come in for a little entle treatment. c. The whiskey dealers have grievances to r< edress at this meeting. A great number of axes, of various 0 orts, will have to be ground. In fact, n tie axe-grinding will bo the biggest job P f the session. The length of the session no man can p iredlct, unless he knew the quantity of tl Aca w ^nuii, uiiu mu nuinoor 01 new 01- * ices which it will bo found necessary to ^ reate. Taking all this into consideration, it ^ rould be well for our farmers to plant large crop of potatoes. To be Hanged. Guiteau, the Presidential slayer, is to ie hanged next Friday. No sentimental-1 P ty can save him. He has been denied a j y eprieve and he ninst go. There is a dif- j p jrence of opinion as to the justice of i ? anging him, just as there is a difference I ? f opinion on all other important quos-1 n ions. V\ e doubt not that a majority of, k ersons think that Guiteau ought not toj* ave shot the President, but would it not! j o eviden- e of insanity if we were to eay s hat there are no persons within the bor- r ers of this county, wlio do not thiiik ? hat Guiteau did light in "removing tlie a 'resident." 0 r c 9 New County. t Although Abbeville has spent nothing jj or public buildings, the county is now I omeS.s,000 or $9,000 in debt on last year.1 c Vith this deficiency, and a tax which is a .1 ready heavy, we hear that it is proposed J) o make a new Court House at Green- j, vood or Ninety-Six. For onr own part, c ip do not see how any Representative * v ho has the good of the whole comity at ' mart can support a measure which will. |; >e so disiistrous to the county. I - 'lie Office of County Commissioner. I Without noting in the interest of any j iartii'ul.ir candidate, we believe it not to'r c amiss to ask the attention of o'ur poo- j 1 tie to thy great importance of electing ood men to act as our financial agents. )ur County Commissioners hold the ? : nntt rSf flirt UUSL Jill J.JU1 UlUl> vi <?i?j w* ounty officers, and yet strange to saj', 1 ms importance is attached to the proper hoice of these officers than to any other fficer. The County Coin missioned coftrol some twenty thousand dollars of our ^ nonev, less the Court expenses, and it is veil for us that we elect "to this office men iosscssing clear judgment, strict integriy and practical business tact in the con- . net of our every day affairs. Men who ro acquainted with our wants, and who re not strangers to the difficulty of raisng money. Men who have no Axes to ] rind, and who do not belong to anybody, 'lie highest county office dwindles into nsignilicance when compared to the 5mlortance of a good corps of County Comnissioners. Let each of the candidates j nter the race on the principal of the flurival of the fittest, and let each voter act ipon the information of the candidates, so local or outside claims or prejudices hould inflnence the voter. We need the 1 >cst men, regardless of the locality in < rliich they may chance to live. If the j andidato is a eitifcert <*f Abbeville county. nd is the best man for tho office, ho hould be supported. Changing Basc? Onr friend, the- QhartcMon News and Courier, at one time was Srt anxioUs durng the sitting of tho Legislature 16 llitve he registration law passed, that it pubished an editorial, which, in our opinion ,t the time, virtually ordered tho mem- ' >ers of the Legislature to vote for it. Cow that paper has "no nervous regAi-d ] or consistency,'* and is quite willing tp epeal the law, if it is ascertained that it , vill lessen the political power of the vhites. We merely state facts. We lave no comments. We have no opinion s to whether the law should be repealed i ir not. We ivere opposed to its passage, ; >ut we are unable to express an opinion io\v. Of one thing however, we are cer- ( ain. If we are correctly informed, there iced be no "nervousness" about the ( workings of the law in Abbeville county, t is said that more whites than blacks lave been registered in this county. The Greenville News, the newspapnrs i if his own Congressional District, and a ! ery few others in different parts of the : State, are clamoring for the election of ; he Hon. George D. Tillman for Goverlor. For our own part, we care very litlo who shall fill that office, but when we onsider tho public good, we believe that he people of South Carolina cannot do letter than to re-elect the present incum >ent, the lion. Johnson Hagood. The fillmanites, wo presume would not be ! atisfied with Hampton, and there is ev- , lently at least a portion of the State who lo not want Tillman, and as nobody can I oasonably object to Hagood, wo do not! co why ho should not be continued in oficc. We aro not wedded to Hagood, but j hould feel free to advocate the claims of . bolter, if he should be brought forward, lovcrnor Hagood has beon truly a conervative officer who has not interfered nth either the Legislature or the Judiial departments of State, and as far as vo have been able to see, he has neither rionds to reward, nor enomics to punish. 4 ^ + TnE Confederate Monument in Colum>ia was struck by lightning last Thurslay, and badly injured. The soldier that urmounted the pile was thrown to the ;round and badly broken. Already ef? orts are being made to replace it. - The Eagle, by Mr. J. A. Selby, of tolumbia, is on our table. May it live ong and prosper. Mr. Selby is ono of he oldest newspaper men in the State, nd we should he glad for him to succeed. Mere Sentiment. Tlio Abbeville Press and Banner in an xcellent paper, but we think it entirely oo sentimental on the disqualifying eature of the Registration Law. It is no i ime to quote poetry when thieves are ! rying to break into your house and rob | ou, yet this is just'about what our co?mporary does wheu it objccts to dis- 1 ualifying tnen from voting because ' hcv are thieves. The law bears equally ! 11 both races, and the fact that a consider- | blenumberof negioes are disfranchised i y its provisions while comparatively few I rhite men suffer a like inconvenience, is ] o fault of the law. but rather shows the ] jndency of our colored fellow-citizens to i ike what does not belong to them. The 1 iw isa goo'd thing. It disfranchises no- J ody. A man disfranchises himself by iolating its provisions. We would like i he a philanthropist, but we can't afford ; at the expense of the interests of our tate.?Orangedurg Times and Democrat. The ease of the good government in outh Carolina has no more ardent and lithful champion tnan tho Times and )emocrat, but that journal, it seems to s, is sometimes betrayed by the very exass of its zeal for so great a causo* into xcusing and palliating measures which Ivor strongly of legal injustice. As >ng as our organic law remains unhanged all discussions a3 to the expedincy of permitting convictefl thieves to xercise without restriction tho right of uffrage, or as to the policy and Justice of ebarring them from that privilege, must o both futile and irrelevant. It may be lat the preponderance of sentiment ould favor the abstract justice of deprivlg such men of the franchise, if the queson were not affected by the existence of positive law ; but while that law counties to operate, no enactment which [inflicts with its mandates should be de nded because it appeals to the impulses f patriotism. The highest patriotism ousists in oboving and upholding the rganic law of the State as established by le people. The position of the Press and Banner s to the disqualifying provisions of the Registration law is grounded on grave nd inexpugnable constitutional objecons, anu is therefore, in our opinion, ell taken. Such jealons care for the Lability and sanctity of the fundamental iw is rather to bo praised than condeinnThough the enforcement of this disanchising feature may result in political dvantace or even undoubted good to the tate, such results cannot but be deemed early bought, if their accomplishment ivolVes a palpable evasion of the Constiition. Section 1 of the election law provides no person who shall have been convictri of treason, murder, robbery of the oods or chatties of another with or withut violence, whether taken from the erson or otherwise, or of duelling, shall I e allowed to vote." Tho effect designed to be produced by iiR cause is the disfranchisement of conicted thieves, that is of. persons who ave been convicted of larceny. Such efined distinctions are neither sanctiond by the commou law, nor recognized by tie Constitution. Nothing can be more, ertaln than that, by the common law, nbbery and larceny are two entirely istinct offences. There can be no obbery without violence, either actual r so imminent as to produce fear; either is larceny which is not from the! erson, or in the presence of tliej erson, robbery. On the other hand! ireenv from the Derson. if it bo aocom- ! anied by violence, fulls strictly within lie comuion law definition of robbery, 'o speak, therefore, of robbery without | iolence and not from the person, is to j se language which contradicts itself. i The Constitution is very explicit. Art. j *111, See. 8, reads as follows : "The General Assembly shall never pass any i law that will deprive any of the citizens j of this Stato of the right of suffrage, ' except for treason, murder, robbery, or ! duelling, wnereof the person shall have J been duly tried and ccnvicted." That the term "robbery" is here em-! iloyed to express the exact meaning; iven to it by the common law is too ob-! ions to admit of argumont. Its juxta- j iosttion to the words "treason" "murder" | nd "duelling" is alone sufllcient evidence j f this. The framers of the Constitution ; learlv had in their minds some of the ; nost' heinous and flagitious crimes i nnwn tr? tJvo law If iu nnrpnunnnhln til i upposethat under the term "robbery" i hey intended to include the comparative- ! v venial offence of larcenv, as being of. nfficent enormity to justify disfranchise- j nent, while such antrocious crimes as I rson and rape were omitted from the \ atego.-y. If the Legislature, as is prob- I ,ble, sought by this objectionable feature f the election law toexclude from partiipation in the right to vote all such per-, ons as should bo convicted of larceny, hen it indubitably transgressed the liih-; t.s of its rightful authority by eimcting a aw repugnant to the Constitution. I The viows of the Press and Banner hnrncteriznd as "sentiment." but thev re nevertheless wise and patriotic, anil! t is to he hoped that they will be vindi- ] ated, should the constitutionality of this j n\v over be called into question in our ] o~rts. No amount of casuistry can ro- j uto the logical conclusions, based on the 1 oinmon law and the Constitution, which ] irononnceit incotnpetent for the Legis- j nture to disfranchise man for "larceny." ,j Georgetown Enquirer* j MWWMWMM?WMMWMBBMKWWWMPMTWM IMej's Appeal to Haipton. ] ."HE MAN WHO NEVER VIOLATED^ A PROMISE IS CALLED UPON { TO SAVE THE STATE FROM POLITICAL RUIN ?

TVadc Hampton, U. S. Senator, Washing- | 'on , Pear Sir: Theoccasion upon which I ndjress you must form my sufficient excuse Tor trespassing on your valuable time. The magnitude of this occasion will be best appreciated by a brief review of the events that made I It possible. In August. 1870, you were nomi-| nated for the office of governor of South Cur-| ollna. While your nomination was made ostensibly by a Democratic convention, the platlormon which you were placed was distinctively Republican. You were announced as the standard-bearer of governmental reform, and the aid of all goodeltizerts. without retard to race or party, was invoked in support of your candidacy. The first authoritative rALT. TO THE WHITE PEOPI-E of South Carolina to organize apnlnst the banded fbes of jijJnd government enme from Governor I>. II. Chamberlain in 187.5, who. referring to the opposition of corrupt Republican leaders to his earnest effort in theeausiof ndmtnlstrat I ve reform, announced to I ho public that "the civilization of the Puritan and the Cuvaller Is In danger!'' To meetandovercome that danger he and I had jointly revived to move outside of the regular Republican organization If necessary. lie turned hack from what I deemed the line of duty, recoiling before the red danger signal which the massacre of unoffending colored citizens at Hamburg had exhibited to his eyes. I knew .i? ?!.) V.l? ?r mhlto /.111. zenshlp gave any sanctlori to thnt. wanion deed or bloody murder, nnd I walked alone, and to the hitter end, the path on Which we had bolh entered together. The first artlclo r>f the platform on which yon stood, arid which I cheerfully state, as a Just tribute to Votlr iikalted character, you have never violated by deed or word, was as follows: "We accept In perfect good faith the thirteenth, fourteenth, nnd fifteenth amendments to the Federal Constitution : accepting and standing upon them, we turn from the settled and final Dast to the ereat living and momentous Issues of the present and the future." On reading this declaration of principles thousands of Republicans In this Stato SHARED MY SIMPLICITY OF FAITH, and reposed confidence In the apparent mlraete by which the Democracy had been led out nf the dim twilight of Its evil traditions Into the broad noonday of modern progress, and had recognized at last the Inviolability of American citizenship. In that faith not less than 31,000 colored Republicans cast their ballots for you In 187(1. They now recall, with unavailing regret, the fable of the "Feast of the Lion," who, having Invited all the neighboring animals to share his hospitality, did not leave the fate of those who trusted to 1> s royal word long In doubt among observant; travelers who saw the tracks of many an!-' mals that entered his cave, but could discover! ? fw.B.lnli! (ft alrnm thot nnv l.oH nvor I turnpd from If. You opened the campaign by declaring that you held your "alleglnnce to South Carolina as higher ant} more sacred than" your "allegiance to the National Democratic party." Addressing the colored people of Edgefield, In the course of that canvass, you spoke as follows: "They tell you that If the Democratic party gets Into power your tights will bo taken from you. Now, my friends, these rights are secured to you by the Constitution and laws of the United State. They are Irrevocably fixed as is the sun in the heavens. We don't want to take your rights from you, and could not If we wanted to. I tell you now In the name of the Democratic party, and In the name of the gentlemen associated with me upon this ticket, that if we are elected not a single rleht which the colored people now possess shall be lnterferedwlth. I go further: Jf I am elected governor of this State and the legislature should undertake to lake away any of your rights I would Instantly reslen I The party lo thof on/1 T trnnlfl rothor IK crc\ down to everlasting defeat than have it break those solemn pledges!" I NOW ASK YOU. SENATOR HAMPTON, to behold how your safeguard has b?en violated. Read the following extracts from "the election law of 1K82, In the light of "those solemn pledges" of 187fl.

The writer adds hat; 'If the election for Congress Is to be held at a i separate polling place with but one box. ev-1 pry itlitei-atc n'nyro will be either tired where to put hi* ballot." This political moralist, who *'ln the catalogue" Is supposed lo "go" for a Congressman from South Carolina, rHEJT ANNOUNCES IIIS CriERISTIEO BELIEF that "until thor Democratic parly shall get control of the Presidency and Us hundred thousand offices, and. above all, until the Democrat'c party can repeal the infamous! Federal election and reconstruction laws, without having the repeal thwarted by a veto, the South can never be secure In her rights." No such appeal to political savagery will i avail If you speak out now. Your voice will be heard and heeded by the general assembly, where many honorable Democrats, the best blood and brain of that body, stoutly resisted the passage ot the present election law to the last. If your appeal Is dlsrosrnrdeil, rest assured, sir, that there are In this State thousands of good and true Democrats who marched with you under the ensign of South Carolina Into dlsus'roils war, that brought them DEFEAT WITHOUT DISHONOR, who will unite with the colored citizenship and bear you Into the chair of the chief magistracy, surrounding you with ?i governmentwhich Rhnll represent the whole people, iind prove to the country that white supremacy may be maintained In this State without violating the sanctity of the ballot or the rights of the humblest colored citizen. The pending election will be of more momentous consequence to the colored people than any ccr held In this Stale. At that election a constitutional amendment will be submitted which provides that no person con vlcted of larceny shall ever cast a vote In this State. If that amendment Is adopted IT I LI. GIVE A TERRIBLE STIMULUS to our 300 or more trial Justices, for the most part unlearned in the law, but all Democrats, appointed by the governor, to convict colored votehs. Every accusation of larceny against colored citizens will involve apolitical trial, and for them the altar of Justice will surely be the altar of sacrifice, where their citizenship will be constantly immolated, and this without trial by Jury. I, too, sir, gave "solemn pledges" to thq^ 4,000 colored voters who, under my leadership In this Congressional district, supported the reform movement of 1878, which resulted in your election as governor by a majority of l,t:Jl votei-. To the full extent of my power I have kept, and 1 Intend to keep, those pledges; hence this letter When the United Slates soldier WALKED HIS BEAT INTTTE STATE-HOUSE nnrt his bavonet was the symbol of nubile or dor. my ai<1 was invoked and cheerfully given, and I alone conducted the negotiation with the President-elect, and framed the argument which convinced that stainless Chief Magistrate. PreslnentHayes, and his patriotic Cabinet, and resulted in restoring this State to civil rule. With the same sincere purpose to advance the common good of this people that impelled my action then, I am acting now. \v lthoutclalmlng any gift or prophesy, I venture to predict that the person who shall claim to derive his title to a seat In the United States Senate from an election by members of a legislature elected under thccxlstlng elect ion law will never tie seated In that body. For the same reason I am satisfied that no democratic aspirant for a seat in the House of Representatives at Washington will be admitted tosuchseat. The doctrine that tin? certificate of the governor confers a prima acle title will be abrogated as to this State, for the sullied seal of South Carolina will Itself be recognized as a badge of fraud. You have thepower, sir. to give repose to this long-dlstracteil commonwealth on the liaslsof eotml Insticeto both races upon her soli. This Is the cause of her whole people, whose shoulders are being peeled by the exactions of the lien holders and monopolists, who fatlen upon their substance while this baneful unrest continues. As a consequence, the Stale will soon be stranded beyond the flow of capital, with no tide of immigration or commerce laving he- borders. What a learned historian wrote of Athens In the Middle Ages may soon with truth be written of South Carolina: Nothing Is left of the once proud and beautiful Alliens, the Altar of Greece, but rocks, ruins,and demagogues."

He Declines to Become a Candidate for Governor and Urges Unity Among: the White People. and Courier.] Washington, June 17,1SS2.?Several friends have written to me urging that I should become a candidate for Ooveruor, and to those I have privately given my reason why I could net do so; but as the press of the State has in various quarters broached this matter, I deem It proper that my views should be made known to the neoplo so that there may be no misunderstanding of my position. It is not necessary for me I trust, to say mill 1 WOUIU Willingly mum; tiu.r ^uinimni sacrifice for the'beneflt of tte Ktnte, or that my services can always be commanded by my fellow-citizens shr.uld ail emergency ari*e demanding them, Hut in myjudgement.no snch emergency now exists, and apart from this there are many other cogent reasons why I should not enter the contest for the office. In the first place several gentlemen of high character, unquestionable ability and large experience, personal friends of mine, have been suggested for this honorable position, and from that number one can be selected who can fill the place wjth honor to the 8tiite and to himself. Under 110 circumstances would I antagonize these friends, and this reason is of Itself sufficient to control my ambtion in this matter. Hut there ure many other rcsons of great fortfe which influence me. I am anxious to withdraw from public life at tho earliest practicable and proper moment, and I am therefore unwilling to enter upon new duties, or to assume new responsibilities. It was only in response to what I regarded as an imperative demnnd of the people of my Stfl.te that I consented to be their standardbearer in 1X76: obedience to the popular will has kept me in public life from that time to the present, but I do not conceive that there will bo any necessity for my ontlnuance in it much longer: certainly thero can be none for my seeking a place which can be worthily filled bv any gentleman who may be nominate ed by our Convention. I beg therefore that I may not In any way bo considered as a Double candidate. Iam profoundly grateful for the unvarying kindness of my felllow-cltliens which has been manifested so often In en mnnv Wftva. find If thrh* kltlil Democracy Is that the majority should rule, and those who oppose the measures mentioned will have the opportunity of ascertaining at! the next election on which side the majority stands. Should It be the popular will that these laws should be repealed or modified, the next Legislature can take action In that direction. We may rest assured that no redress of any evil can be had by the restoration of Rodlcal rule, and In the present condition of races and parties In the State an Independent Is, If psslble, worse than a Radical, for lie Is an enemy w. steals the livery of Heaven to serve the I. 11 In." In the tfreat fight we are maklhg to preserve the civilization of our State, he who Is not with us Is against us, and no specious pretence of love for the "dear people" can hide the cloven foot, Let me therefore, as one who has had every polltieal aspiration more than gratified and who seeks nothing save tho prosperity and welfare of his State, urge our people most earnestly to stand firm and keep united. Let every lover of his State register at once and be ready to vote. Let us nominate our best men for all the offices. Let us adopt and! carry out in good faith the principles which | gave us success in'70, and we shall again be1 successful. I venture to ofTer this advice to' my fellow-cltlzcns because of the trmt and; confidence with which they have honored 1 me; because of my anxious solicitude ;'or the] preservation of good government; because my public career Is drawing to a clone, and I above all, because I do not wish to nee the! greatprlnclplesand tho grand cause for which j brave men struggled so zealously and devot- i ed women prayed so earnestly in '7H lost by * apathy, lndiffercuce or treachery in '82?or, over.

[News ank Courier. | The Washington correspondent of the Augii.itn Chronicle and Con-it UutionalM does not Tike the remarks of the New* and Cburicr about Senator Hrown's proposition to allow 1 each Senator "a literary feller' as secretary at! a salary of Sl.lflX) a year. Wo said that it would furnish the m<>uns ot providing for some of the ont-atelbow newspaper men aud other sycophants at the public expense. The Chronicle's correspondent suspects that the out-at-elbow newspaper men would not have reaped much of the reward, and. If they had been Invited to the offices, I10 says, their pay would have been richly earned. Our friend h:\vs also "that 11 any men In our profession are to be helped, why not let the poorer memb.-rs have some chance for preferment." We are exceedingly glad whenever a deservIngjournallst obtains prefermentof any kind, but our position Is that a Journalist docs a wrong to himself and to his employers when h*. tjikns anv nlaue which can be considered u reward for past services, or payment In advance for service* to be rendered hereafter, to the pernor) from whom, or through whom, the preferment come". There Is a pood deal of human nature among Journalists, nnd ltlfi not to be expeeted that he Is appointed a private secretary or "laborer," or a committee clerk or a deputyassistant-door-keeper, with little to do and a big salary, will tell any unpleasant truth about the Senator or Congressman who gives him the place. Such places are bribes, or are intended to be, in too many cases. When a Journalist, whether out-at-elbow or not, wants to he in the Government service he has a perfect right to get there, but he cannot be Independent and untrammelled In the discharge of hIs duties as a Journalist if he is, at the same time, dependent on the favor of one of the very men whom it is his part to watch and to criticise, when necessary, in the interest of the public and for the benefit of the people. We can lllusyate our meaning by a special reference to our friend, the correspondent of the Augusta Chroncle. It is generally reported that lr Alexander TI. Stephens should be elected Governor of Georgia, Mr. Randall will be appointed Ills private secretary, ana air. Stephens could not tlnd In (he United Slates a more accomplished literary counsellor and associate. Hut Mr. Rnndull, for the very reasons that Would make him so valuable to Mr. Stephens, would then be a most unfit person to represent the Chronicle and Constitutionalist, as Its Atlanta correspondent, as he would not he at liberty to criticise his chief, no matter how sorely criticism michtbc nccessary. The Journalist, in fine, should form no entangling alliance, and should owe his first duty and his only duty to his newspaper, and through that newspaper to the public. Kvery where there are too many Journalists already who eke out painfully small salaries with Congressional pap. These Journallstare not free when their "friend" is.In question, and they are expected to pay that"frletid"for his Influence by slobbering over him in the columnsof their newspaper. If the lists were published of the newspaper correspondents who hold Government sinecures during the sessions of Congress, by the grace of dlfTereut Senators and Congressman, a pood many things would be clear to the innocent public which are now inexplicable. 'The Eutaw Cadet," or "Under the Kew Flap." r From The Xeu's and Courier. June lOfA.I This Is the title of a serin', story, th** publication of which will beirin In the weekly New* of July 5, and he contl ;ued from week to week until concluded. The author is Mr. J. Wltherspoon Ervln, whose Bride of 81. Da vid'a wns so well received by the readers of the Weekly Neu>?, This story mnde his name familiar In every household of the State and gave him rank as one of our purest and most charming wrlteis of Action, one on whom the mantla of the lamented Siinms seoms to have fallen. The Eulaw Quiet was originally published, under another title. In the Yorkvllle Enquirer, about fifteen years aero, but it had recently been re-written and Improved, with a View to publication In book form, when the author, yielding to our solicitations and Impelled by a pralseworty desire to build up periodical literature In his native Slate, consented to dispose of It to the Weekly Nrw?. Many of the Incidents narrated in the new story actually occured In the history of the Eutaw Regiment(27th South Carolina Reclmentof Infantry. C. S. A.,) and were recognized by members of the regiment when the story first appeared, ns wero also several of the Characters, although the name of the regiment was sedulonsly suppressed and was not a', that time mentioned In the tetory in a single instance. Th? lupse of time has removed the reasons that then Induced the omission of the name of the resiment, and it is now, with pleasure and pride, embodied in the title. Of course many of the Incidents aro purely fictitious, but they are nevertheless feelings still continue these can be shown In no manner more gratifying to me than by allowing me to seek the quiet and the repose of private life, for I assure them that I shall lay down the responsibilities and the honors they have bestowed upon me with far greater satisfaction than l assumed them. But while I cannot enter the field as a candidate, I shall cheerfully do all In my power In behaifoi the nominees of our parly If the Convention gives us pood men and a good platform. Every true mnn In theStatc should feel impelled by the highest sense of duty to do this, 1f wo hope to preserve the Inestimable blessings secured to the .State by the heroic efforts of the people In 1886. The perils that surrounded us now are nearly If not quite as great as they were then, and the incentives to united action are Just as urgent. It IS only oy Keeping our liumo unuiurwrii that we can maintain home rule and honest government, and It is disheartening to leel that our present dangers spring not from the strength of ouropponcnts, but from divisions, lealousles and dlsssnslons among ourselves. If mistakes have been committed by the representatives of our party, the people hold in their own hands tbeabsolute power to remedy whatever evil has been done. No error that has been committed by their party can Justify any man who has the Interest, of the State at hcort In deserting Its ranks, for all needful reform ran be had within its organization. I regret therefore beyond expression to see dls* satisfaction in any quarter, because of opposition to some of the measures adspted at the late session of the Legislature, Without reflecting in the slightest degree upon either the wisdom or the patriotism of that body, I think that their action In regard to the Registration law and the Stock law was unfortunate; but myopposltion to these laws Is no reason why I should desert the only parly that has given honest ard good government eln/?r> l.hn wnp Sfv contention of South, anil the life and manners or the people and soldiers of the South Uurlnz the War and we confidently predict that the Eiitaw Oulet will provo one of the most popular serlaf stories that the Weekly News has ever presented-to its renders. Mr. Ervin's story will bo followed by a thrilling romance Irom the pen of an aocopllsheil South Carolina lady, who, under the nom de plume of Uose Ashlelgh, has achieved a wide reputation and of whom the New York Star says "Uose Ashlelgh, ofSouth Carolina. Is the coming novelist of the South.'' Miss AIdrlcb's story Is entitled "Tlic 'Cavalier and Puritan, or Love and Ijoyntt)/." The scene opens at the close of a forgery trial In New \ork, and Is Immediately transferred to the battlefield of Trevlllan's Station, where the Southern forces were so gloriously victorious, and thus It runs from one stirring scene to another until, In the denouement, the power of the two great principles and the character of the two types of man embodied In the title are fully Illustrated. It Is a tale of the War and the HecoustrUctlon era, and will be read with Intense Interest. Depraved Humanity.

The tlmel when men could win their way to success' with the weapons of physical warfare is past! -especially in thisStale where people are not j easily bulldozed and where no man seeks a j flght long without finding It. Such a course leads inevitably to the grave or the prison > now. If Senator Flshburne and Col. Cash conduor their campaign as they have begun i they will either have to kill somebody and go i to Jail, or be killed themselves belore Novem-1 ber; and the material in both Is too good to be so rccklessly wasted. ? 4^ Judge Cothran for Governor.
