The Address or the State Demc cratic Committee. At a meeting of the state central executive cowtuittee of the democrat ic party, held in Columbia on Thurs day, the 6th instant, the following ad dress to the people of the state was unanimously adopted and ordered to be published : THE AD.DRESS. To the People of South Carolina: The state cenwral executive com mittee of te democratic party do not deem it necessary to publish any lengthy statement of the reasons which induced them to meet. at this tims. It is sufficient to, say that events- with which'the people of the state are pain -fuly-familiar made it indispensable that -therorganisation.ofshe democrat io-pr tia South. Carpina should. be revived, as the speediest and most tracticable means of bringing together our hitler'ascattered forces, and of concentrating them in the struggle into wiich we are forced for the main teaanee of liberty and law in the state. Thus it has become the duty of the state coimittee to take such steps as wiR e'abre the people of the state to begia the work of party reorganization aeew-and make it thorough and colaplae. rn he oontest in which we are abiit to engage we must win. De fiat eii be borne. Success, how -=avezgsndt be.expected to erown our Aabors nless there be- absolute unity in the democratic party, together with such. discijline as will insure the promptand tfiient execution of its *JpAiey'when deelared. From our ad -versaries must we learn, at last, the lesson of organization and activity. When the agencies on which society relies for ihe conservation of its varied interests menace those interests with destrmetion, and threaten a whole peo ple with rain, politics are no longer a Juatter of seatimeut, in which the citi zen-is free 'o engage or not, according to his taste. Upon the management of our political affairs depends the se eurity of property, as well as the safe ty of person. By political movements aloe- ean the purification of the state government be accomplished. Only through political instrumentalities can honesty, fidelity, capability regain a prepbnderating influence in the coun ils of the state. To poltics, -taen, fur their own salvation, must the peo ple of South Carolina now address -theaiselves with the vigor, the persis - teev and the systematic endeavor - whi~h mark their conduct in business ol~q~ d ietbi-wise~ to declare e~iy befors the party .which~ shall f eet toQit is ready for .both de -brao and acttoin ' The officers m ,ust-et be hosen-til the rnk and die of the political .arniy shall have heen musered in and trained. .There =sisMl be, in fine, such organization iachVWariftownship -and county, That when the sta-te convention shall assemble, it shall represent, by its del egates, the known wishes, opinions and purposes of the organized demo, c racy of the state. Then will its voice be the voice of the people ; its deter nation theirs; its fight their battle .o such organization, searphing and ~r-reacbing, should, the people of the state without delay address themselves. Without it the state cannot be saved ! The state convention, when it shall '-'- assemble, will determine authorita - - tively the policy of the party; and by the decision of that convention shall we all be bound. As, however, the demiocratic party, as such, has had no active existence in South Carolina for some years, the state committee desire -- to say emphatically that, in recomn miending? its instant and comiprehen sive organization, their sole purpose is to obtain an honest and economical ~overnment in South Carolina, which shafl maintain, without abridgement or change, the public rights and liber -ties,of the whole people, and guaran - tee to all classes of citizens the bless * idgs of freedom, justice and peace. And in this erisis in the constitutional life of the state, when civilization it sel(is in peril, we look for and confi dently expect to receive .the sympathy and aid, of every citizen whose aims * and desires are like unto our own.. In common with their fellow-citizens the state democratic committee have watched, with anxious solicitude and growing confidence, the course of the present governor of the state. They recognize and appreciate the value of what tie has done in pi-omoting reform and retrenchment during the past year. They appland his wise and patriotie~ -conduct in exerting his whole officeial power and personal influence for the undoing of the in-famous judicial elec tion. And they declare their belief that-the democracy of the state, rising above party, as he has done, will give an unfaltering support to his efforts, as governor, for the redress of wrongs, for the reduction of taxation, to obtain a inst administration of the law, and to inake the state government a faithf'ul guardian of the public and private in terests of the people. 'Therefore, the State executive comn nbttee earnestly advise the people of the state to reorganize thoroughly the demo eratic party, in preparation for the State democratic convention, which will meet at a time and place to be hereafter desig Dated by this committee. The follow ing gentlemen .are charged with this organization of the party in every pre cinct, ward and township in their re spective counties : Abbeville, J. S. Cochran; Anderson, James A.

Izlar; In conclusion, the State commiutee earnestly say to their fellow-citizens that we are not as those who are with out hope. The magnitude of the task before us can hardly be over-rated. Every step is beset with difficulty, if not danger. But, knowing this people, the committee are confident that the future can be wade as bright as the present is dark. This is the accepted time! By organization, labor, patience, boldness and liberality can peace and plenty and political security be restored to the State. M. C. BUTLER, Chairman. SAMUEL, MCGOWAN, WM. WALLACE, J. S.

Tai EDomF1ELD MEETING.-ThIe meeting at Edgefield court house on JIonday last,cealled to protest against the-election of Moses and Whipper, was the largest held .theze in miany years. The court house was packed to its utmost capacity, many colored people being present. The meeting was called to order by General M. C. Butler, who nominated Colonel Tbom as G. Bacon as chairmana. Colonel Bacon said that he fully apprecia;ed the exigency of the occasion and the hour. Carolina had, in his long ex perience, many trials, but this was her sorest, and hie for one wanted to evoke the aid. of God. Prayer was then of fered by the Rev. Mr. Round. . Mr. J. R. Shepherd was then elected secre tary. A committee on rcsolutions was appointed. Durirg its absence Colonel H. D. C.apers delivered an im passioned address, after whieh the committee reported the following reso lutions: Resolved, That the recent action of the legislature of South Carolina in the election of Whipper and Moses to the judicial bench is an outrage upon christian civilization arnd an evident expression of a determjined purpose to degrade the manhood and insult the virtue of our people. .Re.solved, That we have no hope but in the organization of the demo cratic party in South Carolina, and that this meeting~ pledges itself to abide by the action of the executive' committee of the democratic party in South Carolino. Gen. M. C: Butler supported the resolutions, which were enthusiastical ly adopted. Furman University.

In acknowledging the receipt of the resolutions of the Orangeburg be'r, Governor Chamberlain handsomely says: Personally, I elaim no merit for my recent action. I. did no wore than any right-thinking man in my place must have done. But I am deeply grateful for the proofs which every day reach me of the approval of my fellow-citizens. The recent judicial elections in the first, second and third circuits cannot be tolerated.

WEDNESDAY, JAN. 12, 1876. A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. The Herald is in the highest respect a Fam ily Newspaper, devoted to- the material in terests-of the people of tiis County and the State. It circulates extensively. and as an Advertising metlium offers unrivalled ad vantages. 'or Terms. see first page. The "Register" Has moved into the old quarters of the "P1ionix." It is set with the type and printed on the presses of that mythical bird. We have full confi dence that its flight will be more steady than that:of the former occu pant of the eyrie. The beak and the feathers and claws may all be very good, but it takes a little brain sub stance to direct the flight. We credit the Register with haviag that indis pensable ingredieut of a successful aerial. voyage. Fly! Speenlation and Gambling.. We clip the following from the New York Herald:. In an action before our courts to recover from Jay Gould the. value of a contract made by him as a speeulator in -Wall street, his counsel Mr.-Shear man, has entered- an extraordiBary plea which is worthy of consideration from .everal points of view. -Mr. Shearman takes the*ground that Mr. Gould in dealing in "puts" and"calls" is-simply gambling, and that there fore when he loses he is not to be compelled to pay. his contracts. In other words, Mr. Gould appears in the coar& through his lawyers and prac tically swears hat his business 'is nothing more nor less than bettiot and., that, he-.i,*entitled to the same release from apy obligation it involves that he would receive if he were the keeper of a faro bank~ or a lottery, or if he had made a wager on the result of an election. We have d4ways contended that, morally, this business of "puts" and "calls" on Wall street was gambling. We believe that if the courts were to decide thequestion from a strictly equi table-point O[ 'view they would so rule. If Mr. Gould's defence is sound, then what is Wall street but a vast gam bling concern ? Our "business pros perity," our "immense stock values," are no more than the passing gamn ber's chips over the faro board. For the last year Wall street has been as much of a gambling den as Mr. Morrissey's saloon at Saratoga. The principal stocks bought and sold have been gambling stocks. Jay Gould, the principal operator. swears to that fact. He swears that while he was doing business in .the eyes of the world he was gambling in his own eyes; that while he was making "con tracts'' for stocks and gold be did not mean to keep them unless it was to his own benefit. The shamelessness and frankness with which Mr. Gould makes this defence would be looked upon as an -astounding revelation iis any age but the one in which we live and from any man bat Mr. Gould himself. There really seems to be no end to the infamy of which this man is capable in prosecuting his designs upon the credit of the c.ommunty. If the Court should accept his plea and decide that this kind of Wall street operation falls within the legal definition of gambling quite a new phase will be put upon this species of business. It would then be tile dn.y of the District Attorney to get the whole street indicted for gambling and proceed to enforce tile penalties.. There would -be no more excuse for not breaing it up than-for not interfering with the gambling dens of theo ity. it may be difficult to draw the line bet ween legitimate mnercan tile speeula tionand gambling. We must allow a considerable degree of latitude to the operations of speculators; we must not hamper their energy to such ani extent as to take away the stimulus to exertion. It is depiorable that the chief stimulus to work is the desire for wealth. Such, however, is a fact which we must accept. Without this desire to hoard man would never have acquired the present state of civiliza tion. It is to be hoped that other motives of a higher order may in the future be made more prominent in centives to work, and that this result will follow the progressive develop ment of man's moral nature. But we are getting into a different chan nel. That the operations of Jay Gould above alluded to amount to gambling thereof. we have little doubt. But whether the fictitious sale or a con tract for a fictitious future delivery of any commodity comes within the pale of legitimate speculation is a subject which wight be profitably considered even in a latitude lower than New York. THE SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR enters its thirty-fourth volume with the present num ber, and we trust with good prospects for the future, for it deserves well of those for whose i.nrce its nnhlisher.: abors so faithfully. Editoril Review. The Clafflin University at Orange burg was burned. dwn on the 6th inst. Advices from Liberia represent that the war with the natives is practically ended. Col.

It is reported that a rew ultTa radi cal paper will -be started in Columbia since the Union-Herald has espoused the cause of reform. Congressman Wallace has intro duced a bill to secure the erection of a United States court house and post office at Greenville. The Governor has appointed Col. A. C. Haskell, Col. J. P. Low, and T. S. Cavender, Eaq., commissioners to audit claims under the Big Bonanza Bill. Public meetings were held in York and Barnwell 'on Saleday. At the latter place a committee was appoint ed to request Mr. Wiggins to resign his Judgeship. The veneralile -Church of St. James Goose Creek, was reopened on the 2d inst., on its 165th anniversary, after having been closed fer nearly a quar ter of a century. Five cents for a half-ounce letter' and, two cents for an ordinary news paper, are now the universal foreign postage rates.between the countries in the Postal-Uuion.

The above named firm is, however, sufficiently near for all pratctical purposes. It is reported that Attorney-Gene ral Melton is going to resign and Judge Carpenter is. to be appointed to his place. Report says that Judge Cook will take Carpenter's place and Gen. McGowan is spoken of as Cook's suc essor.'- All this is surnmise, .hs far. 'A.-meeting was helde at 'tSatur day- at Laurens; J. Wistar Simpson, Esq., in the chair. Resolutions were passed condemrnatory of'the acts of-the Radical party and endorsing the action of the Governor, and calling upon all true men to join the Conservative par ty in the approaching election. The meeting on sale day at Edge field in refercnce to the late election of Judges was large and enthusiastic. In the judgment of the people, the organization of the Democratic party was the only hope of delivery ; they pledged their eo operation to those couties upon- which those corrupt Judges had been foisted in their re sistance to such outrage. - t Chester Judge Mackey made a characteristic speech at the opening hour of the new year. He said, among other lively things : "Whip per's infamy is local, Moses's infamy is national. Their election was the apocalypse of political villainy." We don't know exactly what the learned Jdge means, but we suppose he al ludes to the pouring out of the spirits of wrath. It was found upon an investigation ordered by Judge Maher, that the Jury box of Aiken County had been foully dealt with. the names of a great many goo.d men had been extracted and others of bad character, mainly notorious negro politicians, substituted. The Judge promptly dismiksed the grand and petit juries, ordered bench warrants to be issued for the arrest of the jury commissioners, and then or dered an extra court in March. An enthusiastic meeting was held at Sumter on the third inst., to pro test against the election.of Moses, Jr., to the bench. Resolutions to resist such wrong at all hazards were unani mnously passed. Mr. Moise closed his remarks with these words: "Should F. J. Moses, Jr., by any legal trickery, attempt to ascend the steps of the courthouse to take his seat as judge, I, Carle H. Moise forty-six years of A happy man is John Alired, Of Rome, Ga., who remarks: "I am fifty-two years old and dotet owe a dollar; have~u't bought a busTiel j< Of cort or a lwuud of meat siucethe p war; nevr had a cross word with a g neighbor in my life. and nev-r swore a an oath ; never buy any clothiig- 1 have them bpun, woveu aadi..ade at P home; never had a lawsuit with any g one, and never was a witness in court." The people of Rockingham, N. C , d are gettiug enthused on the brass band i question, as we see by the Spirit of v the South,. that the innocent citizens, r who have no experience in such mat ters, are to be waited on for a sub scription of $350 to pay fur iustru ments and instruction. The Spirit of the South thinks it will be a valu- s able acquisition to the town. t The circular note sent by the Wash ington Cabinet to the Courts of Eu rope on the Cuban question, advises the formation of a confederation in the Spanish West Indies resemblingr the Canadian, with local independent I rights and a Governor-General ap- s pointed by Spain. The abolition of i slavery would be'a necessary condition of such arrangement.' Uncle Sai desires to hear the voice of Europe on the subject. Mr. Bain, at George's,.S. C., shot and killed a negro whon he caught in I the act of stealing a -sack of corn from his bin. A jury of fourteen, com posed equa,lly of .whites. and blaeks, after due deliberation, rendered a ver diet to the effect that Mr..Lovick.' Bain had justifiably shot and killed one Sinco Jenkins, while.stealing corn from his granary on thq night of Dec. 29, 1875. Look out thieves, a New berry jury might do likewise. The note drawn up by,.Count An drassy, the Austrian pretpier, relative to reforms in Turkey, has received the approval of Russia, aid is understood to have been dispatched to. the guar- i anteeing powers. :The note. -proposes equality for all religious denomina tious, and the introduction of- provin cial and cornmunal.self-government, and that, the first results of these changes in. the insurgent provinces, shall be the imposition of taxation-:by the provinces themselves, and the abolition of serfdom. According to the Washington cor respondent of the Springfield (Mass.) JBepublican, Speaker Kerr -dn .no deny that the Pacific railway commit tee is made up to be favorable, tio the southern Pacific project, and Mr. Kerr adds that he thinks "the people of that section (the south) entitled to a fair .commnittee and report, and then it is for the house, in the present condi tion of the treasury, to say that it can not vote any more subsidies." The Memphis Avalanzche is rejoiced at the -wake up of the committee. On New Year's day the "Union Republiean Party" of Charleston, held an abortive "mass meeting" to approve the -election of Moses and Whipper. The amass' consisted :f about 150 men-nrestly womea and boys~- Pink ney, 'the Santee-okMtor,'- was. partien larly severe -on the Governor.-. He advised th3m not to be scared as they had the National Guard and -the U. S. troops-to helpthem. (We are not afraid of the Federal -army but the National Guard makes us tremble.) "Red Hot" Jones said the Democrats had called Chamberlain a thief and now he was proclaimed a great re former. Now, why in the name of God, can't Whipper and Moses re form too. ..Rather than be sold outt by a bald-headed Massachusetts yan kee he would elect .the H,n. A.;G. MagraLh Governor. After some-mnore of the same sort by o her orators,. the following resolution was passed: Resolved, T bat we solemnly pledge ourselves, without regard to conse quences, to support and maintain the laws of the State and, the United States, to uphold and support the ac tion of the Legislature and the Courts, and to this end we pledge our very existence. It was by this time very dark. and the little band of malcontents "folded their tents like Arabs and as silently stole away."
