Below will be found sketches od the lives of Tilden and Hendricks: SKETCH OF GOV. TILDEN. The name of Gov. Tilden has beea so prominently before-tbt coutry foi the past five or six 'years, that hiu public record must be thoroughl3 failiar J1pr .readem Fronv. the New YerWoVorl4o:vw: *ndense a. briefly as may be a few of the mosl interesting facts in his biography. Governor Tilden was born at Nev Lebanon, in the county of Culumbi: and State of New York in 1814. On of his ancestors, Nathaniel Tilden was Mayor of the city of Tenterdeu Kent, England, in 1623. He wa succeeded in that office by his cousii John, as he had been preceded by hi uncld John in - 1585 and 1600. H removed with his family to Scituate in the colony of Massachusetts, ii 1634. His brother Joseph was on, of the merchant adventurers of Lon don who fitted out the Mayflower. From his father Governor Tilde1 inherited a taste for political inquirie; and in his companionship eijoyed pf culiar:opportunities for acquiring a early faniliarity with the bearings c the various questions which agitate, our country in his youth. Young Tilden entered college in hi eighteenth year. The fall of 183; when, he was to enter college, was rec dere& memorable by the second electio of General Jackson to the Presidene and Martin Van Buren to the Viei Pe.idency of the United States, an of Wiliiam L. Marcy to the Govei norship of the State of New York. Mr. Tilden had not been long a Yale College "before his health gaN way, and obliged him to leave. Aft( some rest he-was enabled to resui his studies, and in 1834 entered tE University of New York, where 1 completed his academic education. R then enterei the law office of the lal John W. Edmunds, in the city< New York, where he enjoyed peculis facilities for the prosecution of h favorite studies of law and politics. Even as a college student, Mr. Ti den developed no ordinary aptitut for politics and economics, and h contributions to the press on the p litical and financial topics of the d were marked with decided ability ao insight. Upon his admission to the bar M Tilden opened an office in Pine stree in th cityof New York. In -the fall of 1845 he was sent the Assembly from the city of Ne York, and while a member of th: body was elected to the Conventic for the remodelling of the Constiti tion of -that State, which was to cot mence its sessions a few weeks aft< the Legislature adjourned. In both of these bodies Mr. Tilde was a conspicuous authority, and le permanent impression upon the legi lation of the year. He inherited r fortune, and dsite his strong tast< and Eigh quaifications .for politic life; he soon realized the imnportan< of devoting himself assiduously to h~ profession, and it was not long befo he became as well known at the b as he,.had been before known as politician.: His business develop' rapidly, and though he continued take more.:or less interest in politic matters, they were not allowed aft, 1857 to interfere with his profession -duties. - His war upon. the Tweed Ring, New York city, again brought him the front as -a politician, but he rea peared as the possessor of a large fs tune and consequently with leisure f his favorite pursuits. In 1874 1 accepted the Democratic nominatiu for G overnor of New York, and w eleeted by a majority of 53,315 ov Governor'Dix, the RBepublican cans: date. Governor Dix had been elects two years previQusly by a Republica muajoridy of 53,451. Mr. Tilden is now in the sirty-.thu year -of his age. He is five feet tF inches in height, and he has wh physiologists call the purely nervo' temperament, wIth its usual accot paniment of spare figure, blue ey and fair complexion. His hair, orig nally chestnut, is now partially silvere with age.. THOMAS AND)REWS HENDRICKS, The nominee for the Vice-President on the ticket with Governor Tilde was born in iskingum County, C September 7, 1819, and is consequen ly in his 57th year. Unlike many our notable statesmen his life was n one of hardship .during,~his earli years; on the contrary, he receiv all.-the senenits ardsing from bei ng co neeted witha wealthy family, and fi ishpd his. education at Hanover C< lege"in .1581. Immediately aft gradtiating from college he began tI study of law at Chamnbersburg, Pi and was admitted to the bar in th place in 1843. Returning to India' soousfter,- he entered upon the pra ties of histprofession. Being pure: morals and egeful in money mattei he. has.as a sequence accumulated -moderate ?rtune. Personally the is a charmi-abont him that wins hi friends wherever he goes, which a counts forliis present great populart with the .masses. At the bar~ he w; distinguished for learning, subtle and eloquence, and has always bei considered a dangerous opponent 1 bis legal rivals. In 1848 Mr. Hendricks was chose a member of the Indiana Legislatui and in. 1850 he served in the Sta CQnstitutional Contention. Durni the next five years he represented t1 IndianapQlia district . in Congress, as for fear y#ra after was commission of the generel lan office. In t memorable esmpaige of 18G0 he r 'for Governor against Uenry $. Je and was defeated. .In the election 1862 -there was a politieal 1ruilen and Indiana elected a Democrat ~ ~z yr ~ Hendricks has shown masterly know ledge ; but there is one matter upon which he has ever been es'pecially solicitous, namely, the school system of Indiana. As a member of the Constitutional Convention he was ac -tive in securing ample provision for popular education, and placing its support beyond the vicissitudes of politics. Governor Hendricks is a man of medium height and symmetrical form. He is erect, active and vigorous. His face is manly and handsome. The features are large and expressive, and while there is a soft, good humored expression in the large blue eye and in the mouth, the brow, the forehead and full heavy jaw show wisdom and resolution. His complexion is florid and his hair and side whiskers are yet untouched with gray. He looks like one who has lived a happy life, en countered no great sorrows and yielded to no great vices.

The Herald is in the higbest respect aFan ,e ily Newspa r, devoted to the material in. terests o e people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an e dvertising medium offers unrivalled ad e vantes. For Terms, see first page. if The Sectional Issue. Last week we endeavored t.o show s that the Republicans having failed to I- nominate Bristow, had virtually aban e doned the reform plank of their plat S form, that with Hayes as their leader Reform could not be the controlling d issue of the election, and that with Tilden as standard bearer the Demo cracy was invincible on that question. We stated that the financial question could not be made an issue, and inti wmated that there was nothing left to t the Republican party except to insist a' that the political and legal rights Sof the - regro are not fully secured and that the South is not sincere rly reconstructed; they will assert that the mission of the party is not tyet ended, that the amendments are famiiliar to our lips but have not taken 0root in our hearts, that the fruits of lthe war will be lost, that the South e will again have the ascendency in the s Government, and that a Democratic e President will, in fact, be a Confede rate President, and a Democratic Con dgress a Confederate Congress. The o campaign will necessarily take that tdirection. The Northern people are exceeingly jealous on that subject, and i~n that state of mind it would be n easy to create the conviction that we o were not sincere in our professions. Reform and low taxes would go for naught as compared with the possibil e ity of Southern ascendency, and Hayes a would be carried into the White House as by a political whirlwind. Hence the r danger of overdoing the expression of thtgo etnna eln it might possibly appear that it was all put on for deception. A man may like his d mother-in-law right well, but there is no necessity for kissing her every time the meets her. As a matter of fact, .we are convinced that the immense smajority of the Southern people are i- sincere in their professions, that they conscientiously meapi to carry out the amendwents to the Constitution, are loyal to the Union, have divested 'themselves of sectional hate and pre ,judice and participate in the feeling of t- gratification at the greatness of the of common country. But i': cannot be tdenied that there are a few .who are not thoroughly reconstucted-the ~.term contains a sentence-and it is to n- the doings or mnisdoings of those few )1that the Republican party may be be er holden for success. It behooves, etherefore, during this campaign to al atlay the.fears of the North by showing Ia that the immense majority of the -South have their heart on their tntongue, and then to prevent that small minority of unsatisfied grumblers from re any violence-the very shadow of in ni tiidation should be avoided. The -Mississippi election we predict will be 7a fruitful subject of campaigning har angues, and the rifle clubs organized a in this State will come in for a liberal 'y share of comment. However innocent they may be, eanDot people perceive what interpretation will be given them tewhen organized shortly before an eleo igtion; where is the need for them. Let ~your sabres rust for awhile and take to d ub bel.s, and let surgeons.and chap r anhen to theirletmaebusiness. anA company or two in a city to asit the e epolice in case of emergency is all the OfIniltary we need. We have had - Iig of jNe pysige to last us for a ic eentur~. ~nd w~ liavo a ~oo4 4eal LQQ and a red sash at its proper value. bc To reiterate, if the campaign would be ta confined to the subject of reform Til- qi den would be sure of election. There fr is not an intelligent voter who is not cc aware of the fact that only through of the Herculean efforts of a vigorous re former the Augean stables at Wash- G ington could be cleaned. But as we tu are satisfied that Reform will not be cr the issue of the campaign, we did not b( think it amiss to sound a note of warn- re ing in reference to the only other issue tj which the Republican party can sue cessfulry make. The Augusta papers of Sunday were filled with an account of a se rious affair which occurred in Ham- r burg. The following is a brief account M of the affair : On the 4th of July a negro company was parading the s streets of Hamburg, when two young men from Edgefield were going up the street and attempted to pass the r( company, which refusing to give way, the young men had to remain where they were. The negroes conchided that they would arrest the young men P for coming in the way of the company, and accordingly detained them in custody until Saturday morning. The Y young men employed counsel (Gen. M. C. Butler) to defend them. Gen. Butler succeeded in getting the young men off, and had the captain of the t company indicted. The constable of h the. court was sent to arrest the captain, t who refused to be taken; the company h in the . -meanwhile had assembled o and were marching up and down the s street. Gen. Butler and the Trial t Justice went to the negroes and tried c to persuade them to give up their i arms, fearing that as feeling was run- v ning so high a contest might be pre- h cipitated, And knowing what the result would be, tried to evade it by peace- a ful means. Gen. Butler told the ne- d groes that if they would give up their C S arms that he would name twenty of the most substantial men in Edgefield L County who would be responsible for t them, and who would turn them over s to Gov. Chamberlain. The negroes refused and a general row took place, S which resulted in their (the negroes) ] being driven into a building, which , was soori surrounded by white men s who had come in from Augusta and I the surrounding neighborhood. -The colored men in the building each had C two rounds of ammunition, and theya shot aroun d promiscuously at the crowd without-; a young white man named 1 T. Mackey Merriwether, standing in a the crowd, was shot in the head by a minnie ball and almost instantly kill- 1 ed ; in the meantime a piece of artil lery from Augusta had been brought a over and the fight became general. As the negroes would attempt to es- 1 cape from the building they were shot c at, in several instances with fatal ef-t feet. About 12 o'clock Saturday night the ring leaders, Doc Adams, captain of the company was among those who were captured, and a guard appointed to take them to jail, but as the guard started with the pris oners Doe Adams was shot in thg back I and killed by some one in the crowd. Gen. Butler condemned the action in severe terms, and it is said by the pa pers conducted himself during the whole affair admirably. The number killed and wounded in this affair wast 10 negroes killed and wounded, and1 one white man killed and another t wounded. Editorial Review.I Speaker Kerr is in bad health. 1 Gov. Chamberlain delivered the lit erary address before the students at Wofford College. < The Sunday Sun has one column in its issue headed with the euphon ious title of "Chin Music." Gen.

Tilden baa received congratulatory telegrams from seven ex-Governors of South Carolina. That's enough to elect him. The race for the Governorship wax eth hot over in Georgia. The promi nent candidates f.or the position are Colquitt, Janies and Johnson. Carl Schurz says, "THumbug, thy name is Democratic reform."

The Extradition Treaty between reat Britain and this country is vir ally abolished, and consequently I iminals go unwhipped by justice, cause our noble Secretary of State fuses to comply with the wording of e treaty. Oh, these naughty newspapers- they ill find out very unpleasant thing3. oth Hayes and Wheeler,they say, were ver known to vote agaimst any job, ceived their back pay with wonderful juanimity, and altogether were on the ake when in Congress. Tilden, they Ly, made his money by vending the agical, tragical patent medicines. Bristow, as our readers know, has signed his office as Secretary of the 'reasury, the resignation has been cepted and he has taken formal ,ave some time ago. Grant has ap ointed Senator Lot Morrill, of Maine, is successor; the Senate has con rmed him but the Senator has not as et accepted; he knows the office is ot a bed of roses. He has since ae pted. What has become of the Washing. Dn Washington Monument; we have ot seen it for 25 years; it was a lit le petrified stamp then ; wonder if it as grown any since; the Centennial ught to be ashamed mit himself. It trikes us that somebody said once hat Washington was the father of his ountry; his children might have fin hed that little rock pile; we hope it rill be done by '99, the Centennial of is death. "Perhaps Queen Victoria has made mistake in not assuming, as the Lon bon Times advised her to do, the title f Padishahinstead of Empress. Padi hah signifies Sovereign of Sovereigns; et Padisha wouldn't have placed her Laughter Beatrice on a par, according o the* court of etiquette, with her ister, her Imperial and Royal High ess, the Crown Princess of Prussia, .nd her sister-in-law, her Imperial ad Royal Highness, the Duchess of dinburgh. Npw, having discarded rhat, in the estimation of her Indian ubjects, would have been the highest ossible title, the native ruler of Af hanistan, which adjoins British In ha, has himself appropriated the title f Padisha, so as to outrank her Royal d Imperial Majesty." Served her right. We had thought letter of the old lady ; we thought her bve all such petty jealousies ; busy ~mbaming the sainted- inn age of her eloved Albert for everlasting preserva ion in her heart. To think that for uch silly childishness thousands -of iople might have been slain in a war >etween England and Russia makes ne think very highly of the civiliza ion of the age. The Glorious Fourth. CHARLESTON, July 5, 1876. We are fighting it out on this line still, Lnd with a prospect of winning, not vithstanding the assaults of the lively nusquito. Eyes and general condition oth are improving under the invigora ion of the breezes, Artesian baths and esh whiting. Though there are some Iiscomforts attending a visit at this sea on, yet the trip has been one of un nixed pleasure, and we shall strike ent and return home in a day ortw vith much reluctance. Yesterday was he glorious Fourth, the first we have pent here in thirty years, but thescene was changed-the colored people cele rating the day. The display made by he military companies was very. cred taLble to them and presented an attrac ive appearance, but we were told that t was not near so large or gorgeous as >l former occasions, evidently showing :at the military fever of this element i abating. As this was the first dis >ay we had seen of this kind, we were >f the opinion that the "colored troops ough& bravely" under the gircumstan es, although they could iiot keep up he elbow touch, and sadly wobbled in heir line of march. Among the horses f the Royal Wagener Cavalry-15 nn-and the field and staff we im igined could be aeen some of the iden ical old horses which used to figure.in he long ago time, but nodoubt this was only fancy. Only one of the num ber seemed under inspiration, and he ranced arnd carolled to the intense md undisguised delight of the old man nas on the side-walk, who could be ieard blessing "de lord" and clapping ;heir hands at each caper of the lively imal. He was ridden by a magnifi >ently dressed gentleman, with large -ound face and closely shaven head, and ~vhose little eyes seemed fairly swim ring in a sea of gressy perspiration. ve took him for the redoubtable Col. Bam Dickerson, but subsequently learn id he was some other distinguished indi. idual-Col. Sam having remained at 1me in a* fit of sulks. Many others nust have kept out of the procession or that or similar reasons, as the total umber in line, counting the twenty-five arp g a little under five hundred. )n the side-walks, however, tqap w*g 1 reason to complain of any lukewarm esinattendance every foot of ground 'each to the side, the bucket of water :ontaining the regulation number of ive bottles of sassafras beer. How we onged to be a boy again and step .up Vith three cents for a tin cup fall of the "miliar beverage. It used to be so ,ood, and no doubt is so yet. We nissed the familiar ginger-pop wagon -what has become of it? How many -eminiscences were recalled-how sweet he candy and pies used to be-how the Fourth of July new shoes pinched our bet-a pugilistic encounter under the ity hall steps, and how the under boy's nose bled-how small and dingy ,be little shop to the south of the guard house looked now to what it lid then. Ice cream was dispensed there then, now it seemed to be occupied by a poor cobbler. Even the chimes of old St. Michael's, though familiar, did not ;eem quite as familiar, as in the past perhaps the manipulator did not feel the inspiration. It was impossible, bowever, to fail recognizing the old tunes, especially that of Taffy the Welsh man-according to history this ancient individual bore a bad character, for it is said that "Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a thief, raffy came to my house and stole a piece of beef." If Taffy lived in this day and genera tion he would not make much stealing Newberry beef. But we close down on the misty past. After a dinner-with our good old friend. C. B. S., the prin cipal feature of which was okra soup, prepared as it only can be in Charles ton-delicious and fit for a king-and with the inner man fortified and supplied with sundry other good things, we took the avenue cars for the Battery, which on this occasion was occupied by the colored people. The scene which here presented itself far exceeded anything we had anticipated-it was a perfeem sea of humanity, and of the darkest description; the city and the islands had poured out their inhabitants and White Point Garden was full. Refresh ment tables were scattered around by hundreds, but the old maumas were pot kept busy, the crowd was an impecu nions one, iced lemonade grew warm in pitchers, ice cream relapsed into its original form, ties settled ot sliced cake, watermelons wilted, for buyers were few; no doubt the crowd was hun gry and appreciative, but the ability to indulge was lacking, and the cake ven ders as they chewed the cud of bitter fany-about the only thing chewed on this occasion-contrasted the present with the past when de buckra made up the-picture. From a pleasant seat ini the City Railway Co.'s office we could see the panorama, and we confess it was one of interest-everything was deco rous, no fighting og, squabbling, even the three boys who divided one saucer of cream between them succeeded with out falling out, nor was there any drunkenness. The principal sport of the ebony dainsels and their swains was a play entitled "Too-la-loo," something on the order of "can't catch dat squir' rel," or "Miss Mary's got de motion." There were a score oi- more circles in~ which "Too-la-loo" was played. The way in which it is done is thus: a ring is formed, one of the fair (?) ones steps into the centre and walks round, or if a dancer, dances while the ring clasp hands and sing: Go bunt your lover, Too-la-loo! Go flod your lover, Too-la-loo! Nice little lover, Too-la-lool Oh! I love Too-la-loo! The girl selects a partner and the cou pe perform a jig, then there is more singing, and it winds up with a buss which can be heard beyond the confines of the ring. A score or more of these kisses taking placc simultaneously forms an agreeable sound. There were some speeches made, but we preferred watch. ing the motions of the "Too-la-oo" per. formers, :and the poor old huckster women, for whom we felt much sym. pathy. As the stars begani to, show signs of lighting up~ we left, buti not so the colored Fourth of July- celebratists, who, we were told, remained-until mid night, some even staying until daylight next morning. Hoping we have not wearied you, we close. OEeial idst er Patents Issued by the United States Patent Office, for the weeit ending Friday, June 80th, 1876.

EDiToR :-In your editorial of a recent date, noticing the proceed ings of the State Executive Committee, you give them your hearty approval. You say that heretofore "every man wanted to take hold of the rudder, and pilot the ship through the breakers, as it were," and that "there has been too much talk and too little work." In this we must beg leave to difer with you, and must confess our loss in seeing how -any one could come to this conclusion,. .after noticing :tle cam paigns since the..war. (Just here we would remark that we speak of South Carolina, and more particularly of Newberry County.) Generally, in every town and city, there are a set of drones, or street politicians, who are always grumbling at everything that differs with their views, planning cam paigns, setting up candidates, &c., and are ever ready to point out the causes of disasters. But not so in the coun try. Every one knows, that know anything about the country people, that they have blindly followed their political leaders, without tver stopping to speak or even think for themselves. They cansidered their old generals and ante bellum leaders to be honest and right in everything, and blindly followed their dictates, regardless of consequences. They asked no reasons and demanded noexplanations. When asked to vote for the Yankee general who led a corps through the South and laid our country waste, they did so without a murmur. When called upon to give their sufrage to the scalawag, Judge Carpenter, they did so, because our beloved General Butler was upon the ticket.. No, sir, there has not beeu enough talking, enough thinking, or enough "buncombe," as you choose to call it, but the time has come when- the people will thi4w off the yoke of party tyranny and act for themselves. In the form laid down by the State Executive Committee, for adoption by local or precinct clubs, it is plainly seen that all individual rights are etirely ignored. The people must bare no choice outside party lines. The cry now is party, not men and principles. The very things that the negroes have been condemned for-b) following party not men-the Demo ratic party would have the white voters to do. They would make o' them political slaves, for the aavance meat and perpetiuation of the party. We have been led to believe that this was past, and that all .men should unite, irrespectivE .of party or race, and elect good and honest me-n to offie But hear the Committee: "Artielt sixth. A mian may become a niemiibei by pledging himself to sustain and support, to the best of his ability, all regular nominees made by the Demo ratic party,ecither in State or County,' and in' the-seighth -article it declares t< be traitors all who do not follow the mandates of $he party-a sad cor mentary of our boasted freedom What freedom is there when a votei cannot cast his ballot for whom hi pleases, without being aeensedi 0o1 "giving aid andecomfort to the enemy?' It is an established fact,.that there i a great deal of engineering and log rolling in all nominating conventions especially where there are so mmnj andidates to b~e nominated, and very often by compromising measures the most -popular and competent do not get 'the nominations. Because certait men are placed upon a ticket bya convention composed of delegates froir the different parts of:the country, it does not follow that the strongest and bet men are put forward. Now, thiu is a fact, and it is a presumnption apoi the part of 'the 'Executive Committed to force menuto vote for a ticket, miere lj because it isa Deinocratie ticket. We think it high time that all this "bcombe" should -be done away with. Iat the peopie look not sc much to the interest of party as-to the good of the country. Let their alle glance to :country .e paramount t( party.. Let us put good men in of fee whether or not they be Demo. rat or Republican, greenbackers o1 hard money men. It is men we wani now, not party. Party lines should be eradicated and all-whites and blacks -n-should stand upon the same plat form, vis : reform and 'good govern' ment. If the eolored voters are will ig to go with .u.s; as a people, but no as a party, do-not attempt- to foret them into an organization against hei wishes.. . 'The National Executive Comumittei annot lay down forms and rules foi the government of South Carolina, neither can the State Exe cutive Corn mittee lay down rules, for the govern ment of eaeh particular county. Th4 stading of differen&0 counties are dif ferent, and what would be 'applicable to one, would be the reverse to ano ther. Where . there is a county thaI hs aw wite majority; it is a very easy matter to set up forms for. the- govern ment of Democratic clubs, but it is very difRealt for the Executive Corn mittee to jead us in Newberry County, with a negro or repubtican majority ol 1,700, to a successful issue. Each county must adapt itself to the peeu. liar circumstances in which it is placed. Newberry cannot elect .s straight Democratic ticket, with the odds~of 1,700 against us. Newberry must act different to other coun ties that .have a white majority.
