There Know no siicli! party in South Carolina the <Jreeii-j "kick party. While il is true that thenare a set of men tramping around in va-j nous parts of the State claiming to lie Greenback (is, they are in reality public' enemies. As proof of this, it is plain to everybody tliat they array themselves I -against sill the property-holders, and all! tho respcetahle people o! intelligence in tho State. So offensive has been theiri vitrification of (ho decency of the State, and so disgusting has been their appeal? to the negroes that nearly every decent man in tho State who commenced the campaign in sympathy with them, has returned to the Democratic fold, where lie proposes to remain. As far as wcj have been able to learn these so-called <ircen backers, or more properly named, ?i./> <it' lVcene.v f.nd Decent Poo j-Jo, n:ako no claim upon anybody except negroes. Those assertions wo believe to ho facts, and wo feel sure iliat there is not a white man in Abbeville county v.*ho will vote for a crowd of ottieo-seek<rs who are tlio lowest that have ever offered for oflieo in South Carolina. Chamberlain and liis eiow were respectalile, as compared to them. In a way, Chamberlain and his followers, did seek the countenance and support of sonic of our respectable, educated, and propertvIsolding people, but Mcl.ano and liis eiowd, denounce everybody, ar 1 every'thing, including our churches, with which the white people are associated. We ask our people to read Colons i'iarv's patriotic address to the voters of Abbeville county, llo speaks the words of soberness and truth, and we trust ths't liis words of counsel may not be disregarded by any citizen. No man who claims the fellowship, and friendship of his neighbors should remain away trom the polls next Tuesday. It is a fact that the negroes cannot occupy t,hehigli places in this Government, until their education, their morals, and their ability lit . them for those ofiicos, and thoy might ju?t well learn the fact now as later. In connection with this, wo would say that a division in the Democratic party is In-) ovitablo at a day not far in the future. Hut that division is obliged to cm no from the top?and not from the bottom.; i?r>r can it originate in the hearts of public enemies. When that ib-| vision comes, it will appeal to a higher j sense of riirl-1, an equal dissribuiion i of justice. a broader freedom, ami a' purer civilization.

We shouid not be tos;sn-J by every wave. Several j-ear* .is:"*, when the State elec, tions and the National elections were'or<Ieretl to be held on the same day, every ItoJy thought well <>{ it. Jiesides a day's time to every voter, the Treasury of the State was thus saved at every election, a direct outlay of about enough to ?i:pport tins Stale University. At present 'r wo see no special need to fro backward. If we separate our State elections from the National elect ton*, wo fear that it will V>e yielding onr representation in Wash'? ington. This .ve would not like to do. Wo have as much right to representation in \V;Lsnin??ton. as aitv neoplo on the globe. The citizens of South Carolina havo as much pride in the honor and in the glory of the National government as the people of any State. Tho government at Washington is as much for us as it is for anybody. ; This country must not be remanded to _T the control of the negroes, and we are not V foilvineed that a withdrawal of our rep+ lesontation at Washington will redound " k to our *roo<l. With the present lights before us, we confess that wo do not know how we ' fcliould vote on this amendment. Tho amendment which would disquali fy 'lie sinner from voting, becauso he had committed some minor olfenco, is too severe a penalty to lie iuflictcd by a people r of our advanced civilization. Wo do not r believe it proper to put a brand upon every man who may bo technically guilty of a petty theft, and it is barely possible that the world at largo might be uncharitablo enough to charge us with a motive in adopting this amendment?to reducc negro majorities at the ballot-box. The w hite people of this State are a bravo people, and a bravo people, arc always gen?.rrmu iiiul never iinhist to tho weakest or tlio humblest citizen. In our judgment, an examination into the records ol our Courts, would prove ineontestably, that we can, under our present laws, pun. }.<di the negro with all the severity whicli may l?o consistent with the dictates ol humanity, and a proper regard for jus? * tico. The amendment as to forming new counties, is one which will involve an immense amount of money to be derived Jrom the citizens and tax-j?ayers of the State. As our readers know, we qo not believe it for tho public good to increase our officers, and add to tho taxes of our people. We are aware that citizens living at a distance from tho Court House tire subjected to inconvenience in coming to Court. Cut this can bo remedied in j>art, if our Legislature would tlx the mileage and pay of jurors at a rato nearer sufficient to compensate them for theii time and expense. When the Democratic party went into power, they erred in reducing the fees of witnesses and jurors, and as a result much dissatisfaction now exists. Tho fact is, our peoplo should have less business in Court as witnesses and jurors. Wo believo we do not overstate tho facte when wo say that threefourths of the criminal business of o.:i > Courts should be dono by trial justices, _ Tbo trial justice who cannot try a nogic tor stealing a hog should be turned out ol Wy.

A? kooii as our Legislators can bo induced to inject some practical common [sense into the execution of the laws as to I petty crimes, our Court expenses-?(now greater than tiioy wore in Radical timer.) ?\viI!

The Right to Vole. Article X VIII, Section 2of the Constitution of the Stato of South Carolina ! says : I "Kvery male citizen of the United States, oft ho ago of twenty-one years stis'l upwards, not lnhorhify initlrr the <() < | 'ihihMrs vf'inrfl in this Constitution,, withi out distinction of race, color, or former i condition, who shall be a ro*i<lent of this State at the ti'mo of the adoption of this < 'oustitulion, or who shall thereafter reside in this State one year, and in the i County in wliieh ho offers to vote, sixty I days next preceding any election. shail | l>e entitled to vote for all officers that are now, or hereafter may he, elected l?y the j people, and upon all questions submitted to tho electors at any elections: J'rucitlai, j That no person shall be allowed to vote I or hold office who is now or hereafter ; may lie disqualified therefor by the Constitution of the I'nifed States, until such disqualification shall l>o removed by the Congress of the United States: I\on'<lrfJ further, That tio person, while kept in any alms-house or asylum, or of un; sound mind, or confined in any public | prison, 1 hall bo allowed to vote or hold office. ! Section It shall be tho duty of the i fieneral Assembly to provido from time j to time for the registration of alt electors, i Section S. The General Assembly shall never pass any law that will de! prive any of the citizens of Uiis State of | the right of suffrage, except for treason. 1 murder, robbery, or duelling, whereof ! the persons shall hove been duly tried and convicted. j Section r_\ No person shall be dis'ftanchised for felony or other crimes icommitted while such person was a ; sl:\ve. I The following is the ncccpied definition i of robbery : [ "The felonious takinj of money or I irootis from the person of another, or in i his prose nee, against liis will. by force, or thy putting him in fear." XoTK.?7?o&! bery differs from thai, as it is etltnrlod by I open violence: whereas theft is commitI tod by strait,'/, or privately. With nil those plain authorities before liis eyes J inline Presslev decides that a j person found guilty of grand larceny or ; potty larceny is not entitled to register or to vote, even though the crime had been i committed before the passage of the reg! Nt rat ion law. On this subject Article I, 'Section 11 of the Constitution, says: I "No person shall be arrested, imprisoned, despoiled, or dispossessed of the j property, immunities, or privileges, put jout of tiie nrotevtion of the law, exiled, , or deprived of his life, liberty, or estate, i but by the judgment of his peers or the | law n't' the land. And the General Assembly shall not enact any law that shall I subject any person to punishment witli out trial by jury ; nor .shall he be punish ! e,d but by rirtwe of a law already established, o i promulgated prior Jo the cjl'encc, ; and legally applied." Wo know that the position of Judge is a difficult one to fill acceptably, evon under the circumstances attending ordinary eases in his Court, but when our political ^aioty is involved his difficulties are increased ten-fold. Holding the high opinion which we do of the otlico, we arc always pained to see decisions coming from it, snob as has just been made by .Indue Prossly, the abstract of which may be found in another part of the Press and Hanner. If Judge Pressly's decision is good law, why the necessity for a Consti tutional amendment on in:u poim j>> ;h:s decision of the learned Judge, we are reminded of a most wonderful law of which Judge Mackey atone time spoke at Anderson on the oocasion of a political meeting. lie claimed that among the archives of the Stato was to ho found a stock law, which was still in force, and similar to the stock law which was then being discussed for Anderson county, and which ha<since become the law of the Slate. Mackey, the politician, spoke of the existence of this law of which nofjody had ever heard, but Mackey, the judge, said nothing about it. Of course, if this decision is ever rev-owed by a competent Court, the ruling of Judge Prcssiy will be corrected. By What Rule Shonld a Rppresehta* tivc he Goyerncd i Wo think our opposition on this matter -v.:<;'l plainly enough to be fully undv-r>tv>d. Last winter, when the question was an individual one, the editor of tho Intel liffcnccr voted against the Amendment. It was, however, submitted to the people, and we hold thata memt^r of the Legislature does not properly represent his constituents where he votes a^ainit their will, as expressed at thobal! lot box. Therefore, as a citizen we shall : vote upon the proposition to amend the Constitution, so as to reduce v 1..,, n wmrpsftntft ; me SS7.C OI uminii;.!, ............ i tivo wo shall vote whichever wav the peo Mr of Anderson county by their vote in j November instruct us. ; The question is purely one of policy and not of principle. It is not morally | wrong to have either largo or small coun tics. The real question is, as to the rela, tivo advantages or disadvantages of tho two systems. Tho people themselves are interested in the solution of the question, ! ir.d tlu-ir preferences should prevail. We have not readied this conclusion to 'reap tho advantages of popular fooling, p>nt afler a deliberate conclusion as to the ! duties of a representative. On matters j of principle no man has the right to surj render his convictions to his constituents, I hut upon policy alone ho only proper!v ! represents his com ty who obeys the will j of his county where it is formally enun< eiated, at the ballot box. If there were , no formal expression of opinion wocould j exercise our individual judgment, bej lieving that tho reasons which would in' (iuonco our conclusion would induce a i similar judgment on the pari of the neo| p!e. This, however, cannot be done ' where the people formalllv vote for or j against a particular proposition. Hold; ing these views, wo deemed it proper to | make them public beforo the election, in i order that tho people of onr count}' j might fully understand that their vote ... ?. /.nnufinn vmild | I1JMHI llll> VVI V itll|?>l control a portion, if not all, of their delejgation in the next Legislature. Wothink 1 that our friend, the editor of the Press i and Banner, will see that our position is I the correct one, and that bis efforts .should | be directed to enforcing these views upI on the delegations from Ihs various coiuj{tics of the State. Tho people of the sevi eral counties havo a right to settle this ; question, and their Representatives should carry out their wishes, whatever : thev may be.?Anderson Intcllijenccr. j In sotno particulars we entirely agree ' with our friend, but in others we do not. j For instance, if tho people of Anderson, or any particular community in that j county, want a bridge, a charter, a road, | or anything else which alone effects them, it is certainly tho duty of tho Rep, rcsentatlvo to yield to their wishes. Hut , when a question of Stato policy is made, j then our friend, who has just been nomi1 naled for the Legislature, rises to a more :! exalted position than that of representing a community or a county.

Our good brother the editor of the ; Christ,tin Neighbor, is much exercised I because so many of the nominees for i Stale office arc members of Hie Kpisopal ; Church.

If our friend, the Christian Neighbor can bring no more < serious charge against any one of the! . nominees than ihat ho is an j-,piscopaiiau we are persuaded our good brother can j | j ho induced to forgive him just this onoij time.

Carolina University. j - The Hev. 1J. Lathan, D. D., of York-I vllle, has just published his book, the j "History of the Associate Reformed Syn-| ; oil of the South." We have not had the j opportunity of reading that hook, but an i | extract from it in the Associate Reformed1 | l^'csbt/fvr ar), speaks something of the; I personal animus which governs its an-1 ithor, and furnishes one moro proof that: i personal book-writing is 110 better, and J |no more to lie relied upon, than personal I ; newspaper writing. Although it has {been half n ecNtury sineo Dr. Cooper was a Professor of Chemistry in that College, 'and although the Stato Legislature and ; the Trustees of that institution removed j ihim when the charge of infidelity was ; made, yet that Professor's infidelity is cited for the millionth time, and each jtimoforthe evident purpose of injuring ! that institution in the eyes of the public. We talco pleasure however in giving Dr. Lathan credit for saying that this chavge j against Dr. Cooper was in 1823 to he| fore the fathers of the College boy of the j present day was born. Since Dr. Coop- j |er's time we believe no such charge has. j been made against the College, aim wnon tlic enemies of higher education by tho; j State, cito their objection to the South! Carolina College as being based upon tho I fact that Dr. Cooper was discharged from the Faculty in 18S1, beeauso of his infidelity, they virtually vouch for tho corj rectness of tho institution for the last fif1 ty years. When the opponents to an injstitution are forced to go back for fifty years, to find cause of complaint, Uj ' might be well enough for them to conj tinue to speaks its praise in this way. | A Pretentions Critic of Newspapers. j The- Rev. Georgo T. Rider in a late j number of tho Xorth American Review I undertakes to rid ionic the newspapers ofj : tho country, which arc not conducted in j accord with his ideas of true journalism, j 1 Any religious zealot can pretend to criti- j | cise the secular press, and it soetns to us ; that self-sutficient men niako a bus| ness of arrogating to themselves superior 'ability for unjust censure of tho netfrspa[ pers of the country. We presume that no one would claim that the publishers , of newspapers arc perfect in themselves, 'ami it is certain that they cannot make, ; perfect newspapers, but any man of edu- j cation, claiming to be a Christian should j be ashamed of himself for such a foolish j and senseless tirade against the press, asj j that recently made by the Rev. George T. i j Rider, which may bo fouml elsewhere in j this issue of the Press and Banner. His j I article is so full of bis words and classical allusions, that the reader is naturally j impressed with the idea that he wished j j to bring out all his wares, to be exhibited I on this occasion. Tieing a preacher of, i the gospel it would seem that ho should j : first turn his attention to the improve-, j incut of the religious press, but he does j ] no such thing, lie only tries to ridicule' (the ten thousand secular editors of this j I I country, while proving himself a nini compoop. The sccu'ar press has done as : much for the dissemination of religious J truths, and has done as much for the el's-1 I vat ion of public morals, and lias contribI nted as much to the advancement of pub1 lie intelligence, as all other atrencies <-om! bined, and it is idle for the R'-v.
