Various opinions exist us to the strength of the Independent ticket, which now appeals ?1q the negro vote to defeat the Democratic nominations in South Carolina. For our own part, we believe that the Independent ticket will receive fewer votes, than would a regularly nominated Republican ticket. Fewer white men, and fewer negroes, , will vote for an Independent ticket against the Democracy than would vote for a Kepub"" Trv,?onniiilpnt liean ticket?aamuung w iuC ticket is Democratic to the back-bone. The responsibility of the voter for the suitableness of candidates ceased when the.Demo* cratic party made nominations. The duty of every Democrat, according to our way ?l thinking, is to support the Democratic tick- , et. If the nominees of the party were brought outirregularly.it lsjcertain that the Bolters __ who are appealing to the negro vote were no! nominated in the usual way. It occurred somewhat thus : A Radical in Charleston " suggested " a ticket. A handful of dissatisfied Democrats after wards met In Columbia and nominated the before mentioned ticket. After that a number of negroes met In con. ventlon in Columbia, and j" endorsed " the aforesaid Independent ticket, which had been ? " suggested" by the Charleston Radl. cal. _4 The people now have two tickets which were "suggested.'' The Democratic ticket was "suggested" by the .March convention of Farmers. The State Democratic nomina tiDg convention nominated that " sugges* tlon," The Independent ticket was " suggested " by a Charleston Radical. The Bolters "nominated" it, and the negroes "endorsed'; It. It remains for every citizen to do exactly as he pleases. If he wants to vote the ticket " suggested " by the Charleston Radical, and which was afterwards nominated by the ~ Bolters, and "endorsed" by the negroes, it ( is his privilege to do so. Every man has a . right to choose his leader. i Ifany citizen chooses to prefer a "sugges- 1 k lion " by a Charleston Radical, to a " surgesI lion " by his neighbors, kinsmen and friends ! I (the farmers,)?he can be his own judge and choose bis own associates. i H Let no voter from spite, or from any .presumption that, ho is better than a ma; , Jority of the Democratic party, " scratch ' i or refuse to vote the Democratic ticket in 01[ der to put Bolters, or Independents in office. We have nothing unkind to say or to think of those who choose to vote for the defeat oi , the regularly nominated Democratic ticket. We would say, however that we are sorrj 1 that this division of sentiment has arisen. ( (We are sorry that those who have ruled and I held office in South Carolina, or those of their j f-torwio irhn nnw unpk oflif.e. should turn theii ; backs on the white Democrats of the country. We are sorry that those to whom we have S looked for fidelity to the white people should now seek to divide us. We are sorry thai the " best people" think so poorly of their while neighbors. The SlanJer Case. We believe both the plaintiff and the dej fendact, and their frlendsjare reasonably well satisfied at the result. The verdict for the defendant, Is as far as we have heard, generally accepted is a vindication of his character, and the amount of the verdict is not sufilclently large to Injure the financial oonditlon of the plaintiff. The jury, evidently .were not Inclined to hurt either. They gave the verdict In vindication of the plaintiff,|and theaniount was placed at sosmull a figure that the defendant was ^ not hurt. While we believe there Is a growing sentiment to settle and even up everything by dol lars and cenis, yei in mis secnon 01 couniry Juries have not been in the habit of awarding ' large verdict to persons seeking; mouey damages for slandere d character. , ^Y'hlle the Railroads are held to strict ac<* countablllty for accidental Injury to tlie per- <j & bod, It Is also true that the citizen may maK " llcionsiy slay bis neighbor with almost abso- i 1 lute safety from suits for money datnagtsby ?; the relatives of the deceased. j if a railroad may be sued and mnde to respond in money damages for accidental Injury ' to the person, It would seem that tl>e citizen ? should be at least held accountable for inten- t tional Injury to the pers' n. I, The finding of the Jury in such cases might K insure the payment of a given amount in t JL money, or else a certain term of service in I " the penitentiary. Compared to the Indolent or thriftless citl- c zen who may be entirely independent of " Sheriff's levies, the thrifty and industrious citizen Is put at a disadvantage, without the J alternative in sentences for reparation of dam. age to a neighbor's life. ? 4 ?-r- ? { "Kuie or kuiii. " i 1 It has been often charged that there was an e!ement;iu South Carolina which.would either ruleorruln. Until recently we have not believed a word of any such statement. Now, ' we are almost persuaded that there Is such a spirit pervading that element, and which idea Is still more thoroughly impressed upon their satllltes, who, like their leaders, may be profoundly impressed with the belief that they are better and :purer than the great mass of the people who compose the Democratic party. Nobody doubts the sincerity and honesty of tbelr belief. ? Dissensions and divislous among the people of the Democratic party have occurred from time immemorial aud we believe that history has not recorded an instance where by revolutionary action, bolters and independents have accomplished any permanent good for themselves, or where they have effected any great harm to the Democratic party. The Democratic parly will still live, and the great mass of the while people will oorniningle .and associate together politlF cally. I There never was a time when there were not a few white men who thought they were L better or wiser than the rest, and wanted the | offices by the votes of the negroes and we I suppose there never will be a time when such F a condition will not be the ease, therefore, we . | see no special reason why the people should now be discouraged or cast down. ^ Individuals may quit the Democratic party for any of the oonceivable motives which may prompt them to do so, but the party which has existed for a hundred years will manage to gel along at any rate, and when they have had time to reflect upou the error of their way, they may return to the Democratic household. Rut if they choose to stay out of the ranks, the act will furnish additional reasons for fidelity on the part of those who have faith in the majority of the Democratic party of South Carolina. *49 _ Chnuge of Hours. l.et none forget that the polls will hereafter close at four o'clock, instead of at six o'clock, as heretofore.

If the Democratic party has not bf>en true: to its pledges to the negro, Is anybody more j to blame than the members of the Indepen- j ilent ticket ? I)itl anybody ever hear that tlicy pleaded the cause of the negroes before they wanted their votes as Independent candidates for office ? Doesn't It look very much like ttie Independents thought the Democratic party was good enough as long as they, or their friends, were kept In ofllce, but now when a new set of officers are to go Into ofliee, doesn't it seem that they would deliver us over to the enemy ? Even if the negroes should elect the Independents in 1k:?>, will they not in elect men of their own set next time? The negroes would then have no more use for Independent Democrats than the Demo erats had for Indepcndeut Itepublh-a in ls7i!. The Independents. The independents in Abbeville are not a numerous class. In the first place, the county was largely in favor of nominating Tillman. Of course this large majority will stand as a unit for the Democratic nominees . It may be a bitter pill for many to have another and a new set of white men to go into office, yet we hardly think that any citizen of Abbeville who may have any hope of Democratic preferment in the future, will vote against the party in the hour of its peril. Independentism is tlie half way .station to Radicalism, and when independents go back on their party, the Supreme ruler of the universe alone can tell where they will land. Raising aSpeetrc. Charleston Sun. There Is a Spectre in the closet of the Democracy of.South Carolina which will not down it any man's bidding. It is the ghost 01 a people's ballot slain, in the direst emergency and by appeal to the highest and first law oi nature, the right of self-preservation. Gentlemen Democrats! White men ol South Carolina! cling to the potltlcal anchor as yon would to the cross for your soul's salvation. For by It we are justified or damned as certainly as there is any truth in the luw o.' moral reason ! We do not clearly see?we think no man clearly sees the end which the present course of events Is working out. Thnt.it is to some food purpose we trust as Implicitly jus we oe liove that Hod is wise and just. But, for the present, it seems to us that "men have lost their reason." Here is the position of Judge Haskell, according to his letter to "Mr. Charles," publish ed in the News and Courier this morning. Havlug entered the lists as the champion md vindicator of the Democratic regime since 187<?. against the majority voice and wisdom f not alone his own faction, but of his own party, lie appeals to the negro vote to aid In assisting him to overthrow (he white supremacy in the State established in that year. md oilers them, t>y all the pledges of Wade Hampton to them In 1876to sec that they have, i tree vote and a lair count If they vote for (lira against Tillman, who (without having jvor been in power) has violated those iledges. By virtue, we suppose, of the control of the election machinery, lie promises to give them i free vote and ajfair count as an Inducement *> vote for him. He seals his promise with an oath taken on ,h? pledges to them of Wade Hampton iu S7ti. He wisely refrains from saying anything ibout how those pledges were fulfilled, And he asks them to sustain him in vlti.il;i*ting the various administrat ions since lh"0 because of their truth and fidelity to the ne jro's rights and Hampton's pledges in ISTii. These overtures arc made to a people who .hough in a numerical majority Iu the State tave been rendered an absolute nullity as-a lolitieal factor by the methods pursued by ,he administrations which they arc called lpon to vindicate and sustain in Justice to hemsel ves. (Judge Haskell takes the negro for a bigger 'onI than we believe him to be if he thinks he vf 11 swallow this bait.) All this was done, we sny, upon the plea of t higher law?that of self-preservation. Once .hat ground is deserted, where, in the name of iod, do we stand! Justice and equal political rights to nil ! Yhat madness to assert it? It Is true that Wade Hampton only pledged limself in 1S7Gto "accept" the loth amendment "in good faith." Does Judge Haskell propose to carry out Its :onditions "In good faith ?" He lordily jrushes away the Imputation of fraud. Does lie propose to sail into office, if he can inder false colors? The giving of the franchise to the negro inder just and equitable conditions, we boldy assert, would be the act of a statesman. "If his p^rmi-sion to vote for a ruling class, n the name of "the true Democracy," Is the Ulljr CAVU&v, wo piuuwuiivv ?i ? iiiuiv iry dodge which is unworthy of his accopance. It is nothing more than \vc have always contended. Political expedients are always lerogatory. We shared the negro out of government, without regard to political principle under the pressure of necessity.) The sin, if it was a sin, redounded upon us. We, the majority of us, were. In turn praetlsally shared out of participation in public iffairs for fourteen years. The negro is docile uuder domination. The Anglo-Saxon is restless under the uuust assumptions ot rulers In the history olSouth Carolina no ruling lass has survived a quarter of a century's existence without mortification. The suppression of the negro vote by the uperlor Intelligence and tract of the white ninority was In time further improved upon . >y ttie suppression of the majority of that vhite vote. The expedient which coulcl be 1 afely practiced upon the negro, however, ( vas quickly recognized and repudiated when urned against the white man. He might idnilt Its salutary character when exercised igalnst the black, but he never could consent o it as against himself. Hence the appeal of Judge Haskell and his lefeated clique from the majority decision'of nen of his own race to the more uudescemng and malleable masses, as he imagines, of he colored people. And he invites their support now not that hey may share with him in political power >ut that they may belt) rivet upon the white nnjority the same political disabilities as hose under which their vote has been renlered "passive," to use Judge Haskell's own vord In his first manifesto. The recent Democratic contest, against the locislen of whlch|Judge*Haskell revolted, had no rciHuiiu iu nit- rigiu t?i me urgro 10 vcue uid the question was never thought of until ifter Judt;o Haskell's action In appealiing to he negro against his par:y. It was not until ifter he took this reckless step that Tillman md any occasion to make the foolish utterinoes he did. But submit the question on Judge Haskell's >\vn grouuile, as one which has altogether to lo with the right of the negro to vote: Tillman may have threatened to prevent the negro .'otlng. but, for fully a decade, under the eglme which Judne Haskell appeals to him to vindicate, his vote has had no more effect lpon the affairs of this State than a passing jreatli of wind. What Tillman threatened hey have carried out to the utmost possible imit. rrom Philip Drunli to lMillip Sober, "I am shocked to see this thing.

'It demolishes every argument he has advanced for his present position!" "Hoist by his own petard!" "The coropletest boomerang I ever saw!" These are some of the many congratulatory expressions which we have received concerning the Haskell expose which appeared In these columns Monday. In 1887, when Judge Haskell and his present associates were supposed to be firmly fixed in the seat of power as political dictates of the State, he denounced an attempt in tills city to have a free expression ?)i the will of . the people in an election for municipal oliicers as notonly treachery to that city, but to tlie state; and hedeciared th.it if it was successful would be repudiated by the State." To-day Judge Haskell Is leading an Independent . movement In Columbia and stan Is convicted ' out of his own mouth of treachery to tlie Stale. i "If for the sake of personal dislike to leaders,'' he said, "the Independents ruin the par ty * * * they will he condemned by all j the people of the State, they will he condemtied by ail the people of South Carolina as traitors." Judge Haskell has pronounced sentence tip- I on himself, and stands to-day a self-condemned traitor lo the people of South Carolina. i In 1>77 he said "this [Independent! movementis leading book to the condition of af- j fairs from which they were rescued in 1870.'' In accepting his nomination as the head of an Independent ticket In 1890, he says: "1 to 1 night represent the same principles?the duty of a man to his country and his God?which 1 were represented ill 1870 by Wade Hampton." Yet Judge Haskell has himself said that an Independent movement will lead back to the . condition of adults from which Wade Hump- * ton rescued the.State in 1870. View it in any lightyou please, Judge Haskell cannot mainlain his present position and escape convict- j ing himself of being either a l'ool, a lunatic, uruliar. In 1877 Judge Haskell said : "In South Caro- 1 Una It Is not a matter of local issues or personal preferences; It Is a matter of life and 13 death." Yet In IS'JO he involves us in "a matter of life and death'' on a question of purely "personal preferences." ' There is only one way by which we can 1 hope to maintain honest (rovernment,and every true citizen is bound to adhere to that," _ said he In 1S77: "the way Is to obey the voice nf the majority of the Democratic party." ,J ludge Haskell has not only disobeyed the voice of the majority of the Democratic party, but he basset, at defiance the voice, repeatedly pronounced, of the majority of ills own lactlon of that parly. In his own words, "he is u deserter nod should be so treated." The dlsplny of fireworks wlil take place near the O. & S. depot There will be plenty of room for nil to sen any don't miss it. Tlie Resistor Right. "Why we cannot Support Haskell," is the snptlon of the Columbia Register's leader,! lowering nearly four columns, this morning. The Register argues from the premises 1118t I rillrnnn was allowcil to conduct his campaign is a .Democrat and whb not read out ol thn:y jarty at the outset, and is therefore entitled ,o the support of the purty whose nomination ic secured. "It says: "If the Tillman men, by their acion in putting np a candidate outside of the vsrnlar method ami organizing for his supiort. placed themselves outside the Democrat o pale, it was our right and duty, as Demo rats, to declare them out of the party nnd to neetthem as much under the lead of the regilar organized Democracy." Haviog failed to "read him out ot tlie party" it consequence ol the action of tlie March Convention in nominating him the Register lolds that the so-called "Straigtnour niciion annot Justly oppose him now, since his 10ml nation has been confirmed by the rcgjlar organization. This Is all popycoek. There never was in.e when Tillman and the large majority of voters in sympathy with the movement lor a !hange could have beeu either practically or .heoreticully 'read out of the party' for choosng their own candidate. There is no known principle of Democracy that could have prevented Tillman from appearing before the Democratic nominating Convention any more :han It could prevent Earle or Haskell from >o doing. / However, for the rest the Register's article sastrongone. It reviews the entire campaign, notes and comments on all the silent 1 incidents and finds the Unskcllles wrong on r jvery count. It winds up with an appeal to every one to Mick bv the party, contends that there is no 'sp'lt, and c.in be no split, that We the people i >fSouth Carolina, refuse to give our consent Lo," and bravely says "If that grand old party must go down In South Carolina, we will go lown wlih it. with its tattered banners In our 3 traspandour trust in God unshaken. No. fellow Caioliniaus. the party of Jefferson, the party 01 Charles I'lnekney, the party of AnJrcw Jackson, and above all tlie party of Ualhouo cannot go down in South < arollna, unci, we and our children after us not bear ihu responsibility and the shame thereof." Hn^ood Won't Follow Haskell. t Barnwell Pejple. ( In a conversation with General Hagood t r>n Monday he expressed hlmsell substantial- t ly as stated below. To those of our readers who may entertainjthe purpose to sustain the Haskell movement we counncud his briel but logical and unanswerable definition ol the situation. The issues are so plainly put Unit, ihe most artful sodhlstry or words and argument can not blind any but those who will not see to the danger and duty of the hour. General Hagood said: "The convention of the 10th of September ' closed the campaign as far us Ihe Democratic party is concerned. Mr. Tillman and his associates were nominated by an overwhelming majority of t he party after a lull canvass of the state. That action cured, in my Judgment, the Irregularities that had occurred before and any fuithcr resistance, no matter by what name it may be called, appears to me to be>iuiple independentlsm. While Mi. Tillman was not my preference and while 1 did not approve the methods of his campalgne and while 1 resisted within the lines of the party his nomination 1 have accepted the result In good faith and shall give him ray support. In so doing 1 retain my own convictions but acquiesce In the decision of the people with whom I have sought to serve the State during a somewhat lengthened lite. "I appreciate the cause of complaint of those who have put lorth the Haskell ticket, 1 know their high character and unselfish patriotism but to my mind their action is to be deplored. If it i* a mere pretext ugalnst Tillman and his methods, is the game worth the caudle. ' If the ticket 5s put up to win It can only be in fact by a coalition with the Republican* however speciously disguised, and thus the , ignorant negro vote of south Carolina is. accepted as the arbiter of her destiny, not oilly In this crisis but for the indefinite fuuir<V'\ ~ ( The ludepentlcnl Ticket. .Summersvllle News.
