There is little doubt that the South '' Carolina Radicals will make a fight i this Fall. The speeches delivered at | a Garfield ratification meeting recent-1' lv hekl in Columbia, all point to a i1 disposition on the part of the Repub- i licans in this State to cut something j1 of a dash in the nest election. It is! generally believed that they will put j forward a full State ticket, not with j, aDy hope of electing it, but because it! j would probably tend to strengthen J; the chances to regain one or two of , D I the Congressional Districts. The Presidential election coming off, also,; ( a decent respect for Garfield will no ! ! doubt impel them to make as big a ! ( show and put forth as strong efforts ! as possible. Besides, the Greenback-}, ism and Independentism cropping out i, in some p<arts of the State, no doubt |, go a long way towards inspiring the ! ( Republicans with hope. Greeuback-1 ers and Independents are not over-1 nice as to the company they keep, as i evidencedTJV their recent fusion with I i < the Republican party in Alabama, i ( Indeed, the Radical, the Green backer; and the Independent have a melting j tenderness for each other here in the j South?a strong affinity. What sort of a compouud the three together wonld make remains to be seen. Alolioitta woe nnwillioo fr> rnn 11>/=> rielc ! of showing to the world what manner j i of thing it would be, and it is to be i j hoped that every other southern ! ] State will follow her example. ItL ruay turn out that an effort will be i \ made by this trinity in South Caro- j i lina. However this may be, we should j | be ready, as we are able, to retain j < absolute control of the State, and to j ( elect five Democratic Congressmen. {i There is no need of becoming at all j ] frightened, but it is will enough to remember aud observe the maxim, j "Never despise a foe." The Rids j1 bear watching and it would be no j1 liarm for the Democratic party from ' now until after the election to sleep ' with one eye open. With at least 20,000 more negro voters in the State j' than white, we might very easily be J! over-confident of security. At any 11 rate, what is worth doing at all is j' worth doiug well, and if we should be '' callect upon to whip these fellows |' again, let's give them a sounder drub- j' bing than ever. i' SIC-KS~0?*?BAE. 1 A -meeting of Republican managers : was. held at Fifth Avenue Hotel on 1 lie insfnnt 7'Yom the best in I formation obtainable this conference had four objects: First, to enable the politicians to tneetMr. GarSekl; sec-' end. tofstacke out the Grant meo;' third, to see whether there was any i use in making a fight in any of the j southern States; fourth aud portion-j larly, to help raise money for the cam- j paign. Secretary Sherman attended j ( the conference aod made a speech but _in no part of it did he apologize to f General Arthur, who was present, for removing him from the Custom House ' t or for his letter declaring that Arthur's removal was necessary to secure an I honest administration of that office.! Senator Conliling, although a guest 1 at the hotel, was conspicuous bv his absence. The talk was mostly about , the propriety of making a eonhst iti 'c the Southern States or leaving them alone. Mr. Sypher, of Louisiana, said that if the election of Garfield depended on the vote of Southern States this year, they would better abandon the contest now, for there would be no hope of succeeding. This is a true and telling admission, and underlying it, is easily to be seen the tacit confession of the Republican party of its inability to carry the next election. It is also worthy of note that one of the speakers alluded to the fact that the vote of three of the a/\titV>arn Sfofoa \v?H TIPPPKSarV to the triumph of the Republicans in the last electiou. It is none the less interesting at the same time to hear Senator Blaine calling loudly for help iu Maine and urging, almost with tears in biR eyes, a strong fight in Indiana. Considerable apprehension seemed to be entertained for West Virginia Jso. If "fear is the palid harbinger of failure," the Republicans would as well come out in plain English. and acknowledge that they expeettiefe&t. The 13S electoral votes of the South together with those of tue Dcmociatic States of the North, all of which Hancock has every prospect of carrying as well as Pennsylvania, heretofore Republican, at once bring down the scales on the side of the Democracy. Most of the southern States will, no doubt, be left to take care of themselves, but a desperate effort will probably be made to carry Florida, South Carolina and Louisiana by a liberal use of money. It is bard for the Republican managers to put on a pretty exterior. The disguises are too thin to conceal what lifts behind. There are evideutly 3igns of nneasinesa KEEP THE CLUBS PUNNING. Id view of the much talked-of efforts on the part of the Republicans to do big things in South Carolina next Fall, Lexington County should hold itself in readiness to roll up the very largest Democratic majority possible, and to this eud every Democrat, should be a member of a club and every clab should hold meetings regularly. To insure effective work there should be thorough organization There can be no reasonable objection to joiuiDg a club. No man signs himself away by putting his name on a club list. He simply puts himself in f? position to be of practical servic^. ft is tbo cl?V?o<*Lh<it wo Dnr strength and are able to use it to :he best advantage. Were there no ;lubs or similar organizations by what means could a vigorous political campaign be started or conducted. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Spartaxburg, August 10,1880. Arrived here Monday 4 P.

At night, 8 o'clock, lecteres are delivered iu the Opera louse. I am teacher No. 151 and -till they come. To-day is mv first school day. I expect some candy and .io hickory. More, when I have earned the ropes. W. D. S. Dr. Tanner completed his fast at ioon on Saturday. He at once diauk i glass of milk and called for a Georgia watermelon; this he tapped, dug lis hand into and ate heartily of. When remonstrated with he asked to ie let alone saying, "No, my Lord, I ira running this now." When he placed the glass of milk to his mouth, be remarked: "Gentlemen, you don't believe that's good." His weight at die end of his fast was 121* pounds showing a loss of 3G pounds during the-40 days. The experiment is believed to have been an honest one. Tanner is getting as fat as a pig md as lively as a cricket. He drinks svine and milk, and eats eggs, potatoes and oysters He has increased 10 pounds in weight. This is what a prominent member if tbe Republican National Committee at a meeting in New York on the 5;h, bad to say of the Southern petitioners: ' The}' are simply trying to make all they can out of the fact hat they are Republicans in tbe south and to enrich themselves with money begged to help in the elections. Fhe.se fellows look upon the campaign is a harvest time, just as the delegates from the South did on the Chicago Convention."

Editors.?At the barbecue of Mark Summer, colored, some of the Radical speakers told the persons ' present, that since the election of ' Hampton the taxes were higher than | before and that the promises which l the Democratic candidates then made have notr up to this date, been fulfilled. They said also, that the sureties of D. I. Hendrix, ex-Treasurer, who left the county and State as a heavy defaulter, have not yet been paid up. In addition, they also complained of the taxes for back school claims. At our Centreville Club meeting, on last Saturnay, these matters were agian brought up, by some of the Greenbackers present, which is intended to weaken the Democratic ranks. I deplore very much that , some few of our citizens in the upper portion of the county have lately joined t-*t party. But, in justice to j out^ present administration, I bopej \T*. T,f T) Hnrmnn A n^ifnr will ! V 41*. MW4 4MUW) W.| ..... at once inform the people of Lexing- 1 ton County whether Mr. D. I. Hen- 1 drix' sureties have not made a full settlement with him. Rev. Rast, the 1 School Commissioner, will also please inform the voters bow it happens that the county has to pay taxes to j satisfy those claims. Let him look j over his books and see how, and by j whose fault those claims originated.'1 It is the right of every citizen of the ! county to complain when he thinks j there is a rotten administration of; some of the public officers; but it is |1 also fully as right to deny those ' charges, if tbey are wrong. Messrs. J Harman and Rast are the proper of-1 ficiuls aud they will please, therefore, j as soon as possible, through the j columns of the Dispatch and Summit; Courier, make a plain and full state-! ment of the matter, as it is inteuded j to muddy the now clear runningj stream of Democracy. In conclusion | I only say that the upper portion of j Board River Township will do her i part in carrying the next e'ection for our National, State aud County ofC. iiueiM. I hope all candidates will come over to friend Oliver Fulmer's barbe-1 cue and explain to the people their: view?. Democrat. J [Advertisement.] ! John T. Sloan, Jr., for Solicitor of the 1 Fifth Circuit. i Messrs. Editor*.?It will he Keen by i the notice iu another column that Col. ! John T. Sloan, Jr, of Columbia, has! been announced as a candidate for j1 the Solicitorship ol this circuit. M Col. Abuey after mature delibera- j tiou, concluded on Monday niyht to | decline a reuomiuation. Until be did | f j so I bad beard of no opposition to !: I Col. Abney, and I know that Coiouel; 1 Sloan regrets, as all the Bar and the I people of this circuit do, that Col. Abney felt constrained not to accept ' a reuomination. Col. Abney was the 1 choice of the Lexington Democracy, j 1 but he having withdrawn, I cordially j( endorse and support the nomination ;' of Col. Sloau. I believe that the peo- j! | pie of Lexington would heartily ap-M prove of his nomination. From his ^ having bad considerable practice be- j fore the courts of this county, and 1 j rom personal acquaintance in Collmbia, Col. Sloan is known to many >f tbenr. For bis age, he is one of the brightest ornaments of the Bar of Sontb Carolina. Young, active, energetic, ntelligebt, earnestly devoted to bis profession, conscientious and fair ic :he discharge of duty and a man oi :he highest tone and character, I am satisfied that he would worthily fil! :he position of Solicitor, and that the nterestp of justice would be eafe iL ais bands.
