N0ETHE?N AND SOUTHEEN
DEMOCEATS.
There ie a class of men in the South,
y who seem to take special delight in
berating our Northern allies; who
claim to be fighting with them against
a common euemy and for the same
principles, but who, nevertheless, are
loth to lose an opportunity to give
them a nudge or a sly lick. This
looks like bad faith. A man helps
yon successfully to defend yourself
against the attacks of a mortal enemy;
no matter how little the assistance
he may have rendered, do you
owe him thanks, or blows, iu return ?
To turn npon him while ypnr foe still
has bis eye upon you, would be desperately
foolish aud suicidal, to say
nothing of hideous ingratitude.
Northern Democrats have been our
defemlers since the war through good
and evil report Northern Republicans
have been our bitter euemie-\
. first, last and all the time. To turn
oar backs upon the former would be
equivalent to offefiag an embrace to
the latter. A beautiful picture that,
with a white feather. juLjapld relief
H2S the Soutn will ever puOselfln a po- q
sition for sncb a caricature, the adBH
vanced ideas of a few of onr political c
worthiest? the contrary notwithstand- ^
M| It is rather a late hour for the 0
BB^true Southern people to be turning 11,
IV ui) as a set of grumblers. We had a !
(hard time from 1860 tolSTG, but now j ^
that ordeal is over, and we bave:?
abundant reason to rejoice. We
should uow turn our efforts towards
. securing a National Democratic victory
in November next. This cannot a
be accomplished by fomenting dis- I
cords. Northern and Southern Dem- t
ocrat8 shonld move op^ solidly to-: f
getber. There should be no differ- r]
ence between a South Carolina and s
National Democrat?one and iusepa- I
rabJa l
of the South should not be too i
hard to satisfy or too prone to find i t
fanlt with Northern Democrats. We j
could uot have expected to be the ; s
f ; pets of the National government or t
treasury. Besides, many thiugs that! v
we desire and, perhaps, ought to; L
have, it would be impolitic and ut-1 s
terly useless to demand. But stillj I
the cry is made against Northern t
De mocrats of doing everything for j e
themselves and nothing for the South, t
This is not true, and its only fouuda-,
lion is that they have simply been ; ]
unable to lift us into that favor which j \
we would have gladly had. With a ; i
President to veto every measure that < (
was uot Republican or that smacked i
^ ' of showing even decent respect to the i
South, it was impossible that any <
great blessings should be showered j
upon ns-from Wasbiugtou. It is easy ; J
to expect too much of a good friend,;
and it is but too natural, should he j ]
fail to meet all the demands made ;
upon him, to suspect or accuse him |'
of selfishness or treachery; and iu|i
nine cases out of teu, though uutrue,;
yet a most plausible complaint maybe
made against him. It is no trou-;
hie for an ambitious politician, who :
may be short of thunder, to fall back
on the supposed short-couiings of our j
frieuds in the North, and acquit hitn- j
self loudly and cunningly.
The Democratic party has higher
aims ana purposes tupu vj seuuic appropriations
either for any or for all
iections. It is a party of well-defined
principles, principles drawn from a
: borough analysis and a true and historic
interpretation of the Constitution.
We believe that it is upon the;
ir'umph of these principles depend
*?he welfare and stability of this govermenfc.
We should not be hired
patriots, but patriots in the true sense
of the word. Because we do not get
ali that we want is no reason why we
t^ould go to sea without chart or
.r-mpass. We claim to be the party ?
Constitution, as the fathers in- i
^ied it. We should hold on to the
*iueiples thus handed down to us,
md not sell our birth-right for a mess ]
of pottage. If we do not admire j
Northern Democrats personally, we Bust,
nevertheless, admit that they
xnd we are of the same political housejold,
and if division occurs, the Democratic
party will fall. We are not
ashamed to be classed in the same '
political school with such men as ^
Seymour, Bayard, Tburman, Hanoock
ana a host of other such North- ,
orn Democrats. We have not yet
taken hold of those advanced ideas
that would cause us to feel contempt '
for the followers of such men as these,
[ndeed, the Democratic party North
and Sonth is eood enough yet, and,
likely enough, the day is not in the
near future, when the Southern people
will be found flying into the arms
nf the Republican party, for the sake
of prejudice against Northern Democrats.
COURT.
The Court of General Sessions was
opeued on Monday, Judge T. B. Fra
ser presiding.
The Clerk being absent on account
of illness, Mr. Justice Muller was appointed
to act in his stead. The So
licitor also being absent Mr. Rice was
appointed to act. His Honor's charge
to the Grand Jury was brief and to
the point He charged them to look
into the offices about the Court-house,
to hold a strict supervision over the
Trial Justices and Constables, and to
see that the School Commissioner and
trustees do their duty in using the
public fund to the best advantage
If any special legislation is needed,
the Grand Jury may make such suggestions
as they think proper.
Only one bill of indictment was
handed out, State v& Jacob Sharp?
Malicious mischief. No bill was returned.
The petit jurors were discharged
at 1 o'clock till to-day at 10
A. M., when the Common Pleas opens.
The Grand Jury made their presentment
at 5 P. M. The Court of
General Sessions was then adjourned
till the next regular term.
PRESENTMENT OF THE GRAND JURY.
To His Honor, Judge T. li. Fraser:
We the Grand Jury of Lexiugton
County beg leave to make this our
final presentment:
1. We congratulate the county that
there is no criminal bhsiuess requiring
the attention of the Grand Jury
and that there is not a single case
of complaint made against any of the
county officers.
2. We have heretofore examined
the various offices and to-day have
casually done the same, and we believe
that every official is properlydischarging
his duties, except that
the County Commissioners either
from fear of incurriug public disfavor,
or a lack of proper appreciation of
the care and comfort of the prisoners
confined in jail, have utterly disregarded
every appeal made, both by
the calls of humanity and the recommendations
of former Grand Juries,
and say they can do nothing. In our
la.:f
e recommended t\iat the County h
Jommissioners prepare plans for c
uilding a new jail with estimate of n
ost, See., and present them to our n
ody at the preseut term. This rec- 1
mmendation they have failed to no- L
ice, and we, therefore, have nothing a
efioite to recommend as to this mat- x
er. W. B. Plunkett, Foreman. i

Progress of the Campaign. j
Notwithstanding the incessant rain, s
u immense crowa was preseui, at me ?
)emocratic meeting at Pickens on ?
be 11th iustaut. The Spartanburg t
iaud discoursed splendid music. ?
?he boys in red were numerous and (
bouts after shouts filled the air ,
i'ickens is Democratic to the core and ?
oay be relied upon to give a large j
Qajority to both the Stute and Na- ^
ional tickets. t
One of the largest and most enthu- ?
iasiic meetings of the campaign was ,
leld at Greenville on the 13th. There ,
vas a tremendous turnout of the (
>eauty and chivalry of the Piedmont ]
lection. Greenville has always been J <
Democratic, and the best efforts are j (
>eing made to roll up largely increas- j (
id majorities for couuty, State and j f
Sectoral tickets. j t
The meeting at Abbeville on the |,
LAth was a graud success. The town !,
vas throDged with people, the day j ^
vas beautiful, and everybody boiliDg;
>ver with enthusiasm. A thousand j.
nounted men in line, headed by the j
Spartauburg cornet band, weut to the i
stand, where speeches were made by 11
Hagood, Kennedy, Thompson, But- j
ter aud Kichardson.
The Democratic State Campaign!
party were received at Union on the j
loth with the greatest enthusiasm.
The procession cousisted of 500 red- j
shirted horsemen. There was great j
cheering when the U. S. flag waved j
along the lines which formed at 10 A.
M. There was a large crowd, including
hundreds of ladies at the speaker's
stand. Geus. Butler, Hagood
and Kennedy, and Cols. Thompsou
and Cad. Jones spoke until 2 o'clock.!
A sp leu did torchlight procession es-j
corted the speakers to the stand at 8 ;
o'clock. Cols. Richardson, Evius and J
Duucau spoke until 10 o'clock to a j
haudsoine audience, the ladies being j
out in full force. There was a gen- j
eral jubilee at night, with fireworks,:
salutes and incessant yelling.
Mr. Ti'den has sent his check for one j
hundred thousand dollars to the National
Executive Committee of the Democratic
party, and when thanked for his munificent j
contribution replied that if inore was necessary
to inform him.
Negroes arc now allowed to sit on petit
and grand juries in the State of Kentucky,
their names having been put on the lisis in
obediv nee to the recent decisions of the j
United States Courts. On the llith instant, :
at Louisville, was the first time they sat us ;

THE DUO ABROAD.
Kotes by the Way?A Day on the River
James.
Since leaving home I have seen
much, a description of which will
probably interest the readers of the
Dispatch. Between Columbia, Charlotte
and Richmond, nothing worthy
of description was noticed, save that
in the upper part of North Carolina
a vast improvement in the appearance
of the country was seen. The
land seemed a vast deal more fertile,
and there was a marked improvement
of farms. At Salisbury, N. C., we
saw a number of pretty young ladies
wbich made us think of home.
As the train made a turn around
the banks of the James, the beautiful
city of Richmond came in view.
On approacbiug nearer, the black
fumes from a hundred fire works, assuied
us that we were neariug Virginia's
metropolis. The long bridge
which spans the James was passed,
and we found ourselves at the grand
depot amid the usual rush which generally
congregates on the arrival of a
train. Taking breakfastat the American
Hotel we were ready for a stroll.
The first place of interest was Hollywood
Cemetery, a quiet burial
ground lying along the James River.
We entered from the eastern gate and
soon our eyes caught sight of the stupendous
monument built by the ladies
to the Confederate dead. It is
built of rough stones, piled one upon
another in the shape of a cone. Wild
vines clamber up the sides, and this
grand tribute to our fallen brave will
long be a Mecca to which Southern
feet will turn. While strolling in the
cemetery we came to the grave ol
President Monroe, which consists ol
a pretty iron monument enclosing the
vault in which are interred the remains
of the great American, so notec
for his activity and progressive spirit
The remains were removed to tbeii
present resting place in 1858, "as at
evidence of the affection of Virginic
for her good and honored son."
Few burial grounds can be mort

as nature has vied her charms wit!
those of art, to make it au approprt
ate restiug place for the silent dead
Vast numbers of soldiers who fell it
the late war are buried here will
naught else to mark their graves anc
gallant deeds than simple woodet
stakes. From the cemetery the sur
rouudiDg country may be seen foi
tnaDy miles, dotted frequently wit!
palatial residences. As a fitting ad
denda to the own quiet solitude o
the place, the low murmurs of ttu
historically famous James River fal
upon the ear like a ceaseless, solemi
dirge. The cemetery has been ren
deted literarily noted by the beauti
! ful poem of an unknown author enti
tied, "Twilight in Hollywood."
Passing beyond the limits of th<
burial ground we came to the Rich
mond Iron works, which are certainb
iuterestingj^wagery stranger in tin
kyt?iff?. moaldfffg covers a
irge scope of ground, and throughiut
the whole space there is a ccntinlous
"tanglement of machinery,"
anaged by large numbers of soottyooking
men. Huge blocks of red
tot iron are taken from the furnaces
iud after being rolled through the
uachines a few times, are converted
nto thin bars 15 and 20 feet long.
Che machiues are so arranged that
vhen a piece of iron is passed through
o one side it is immediately taken up
tnd returned to the other side again,
tud this is continued until the desired
iize is attained. The long bar iron
lsed by our farmers for making plows
md horse shoes, are pressed oat from
hick blocks iu less time tkau five
niuutes. A popular resort and probibly
the most interesting place in
cticbmond is the Public Square. The
grounds cover many acres, in the cen;re
of which stands the State House,
i troly elegant building. Graveled
valks lead through the whole place,
ilong which are placed numerous
?eats under the thick leafy trees,
lumbers of tume squirrels play iu the
square, and their many graceful tricks
jontribnte not a little to the pleasure
5f visitors. West of the State House
stands the famous Washingtou statue,
ibout which probably most of our
readers have heard something. The
main pedestal, some forty feet high,
is surmounted by a bronze statue of
Washington on horseback. The horse
is represented in a charging gait, and
the colossal arm of the great General
is pointing Southward. Around the
base of the pedestal stand six Virginian
representatives of the revolutionary
period, iu various appropriate attitudes.
Many other things of interest could
be incorporated into this letter of
what was seen in the City of Richmond,
but time is precious, and I am
not much disposed to write at present.
