The Liberia Emigrants. Mr. A. B. Williams, who was sent with the Azor by the News and Cou rier, has sent back his first letter, which was published in a Supplement Friday. The letter is exceedingly in teresting, but is so long that we can not undertake to reproduce it. The following editorial in News and Cou rier will give a pretty fair idea of the voyage: To-day we publish the first letter received from Mr. Alfred B. Wil liams, who sailed from Charleston, on the bark Azor, bound for Liberia. This letter give s particulars of the strange and sad events briefly men tioned in the cable telegram fro:n Maderia, and brings before the public, with strong yet tender touches, the light and dark sides, the mingled tragedy and comedy, of the Azor's terrible voyage. Reading this letter, so fresh and racy while so thoughtful and discriminating, we congratulate ourselves upon the success which has so far attended the boldest adventure in the history of Southern journalism, success largely due to the constancy, courage and ability of the gentleman who, with phonographic accuracy, re produces every noteworthy event in the novel experiences of the African emigrants from Charleston. Sailing from Charleston on April 21, the Azor put inat Sierra Leone on May 28, and reached Monrovia at midnight on June 2. The bark proved herself to be a fast sailer, as we anticipated, but the winds were baffling and, with the long calms, pro tracted the voyage. When the Azor was only two days out, it was discovered that the pro visions generally were bad and unfit for use. There was asuperabundance of meal, flour and rice, and a good quantity of pork and salt beef, but the flour was coarse and black, and the meal only fit "for hogs to eat." There was meat enough, but it was not meat supplied by the Exodus As sociation. With the exeeption of five barrels, the meat belonged to the stores of the emigrants, intended for their sup port in Liberia until their first crop should be made. This is a bad begin ning, as i is mentioned by Mr. Wil liams that the emigrants are entirely without money. How they will live in a strange land, penniless as almost all of them, are helpless as are too many of them, we shall hope to learn in sub sequent letters. The emigrants proved to be docile and obedient, but it was impracticable to make them sparing in consuming - food and water, and impossible to make them tidy and cleanly in their habits: They would take no'exercise. Some of thema did not venture on deck during the whole voyage. Cold water they regarded with holy horror. Between decks, in the morning, there was as much dirt and confusion as can be found in any crowded negro hovel on the Carolina coast. Capt. Holmes and his officers caused the whole ship to be regularly swept and scraped, and required the bedding and clothing to be aired and dried frequently. Serious sickness might have been avoided but for two facts. One, is that there were cases of measles aboard when the Azor left Charleston, and the other is, that George Curtis, who was represented to be a competent physi cian, proved himself an arrant igno ramus, as conceited as stupid. Mr. Williams says that the Rev. B. F. Porter, the President of the Exodus Association, assured Collector Baldwin at Charleston that he "knew" Curtis was qualified to act as ship's physi cian. This agrees with our informa tion on the subject. Collector Bald win was wilfully and deliberately mis led. In truth, in the words of Mr. Williams, this man Curtis "knows about as much about medicine as "a street-car mule." More mischievous than a mule, Curtis administered med icines of the nature and probable effects of which he knew nothing. To a poor creature who had the measles, Curtis administered, in the course of one morning, "Coffee, with an infusion of ginger, a Dover's powder and Friar's Balsam." She died the same day. Calomel and jalap were the favorite prescriptions, and it soon became necessary for Capt. Holmes to prohibit any further ex perimenting by Dr. Curtis. The enii grants had been assured by the mana gers of the Association that a phy sician from Washington would accom pany the Azor. Upon this they re lied. Not only was there no phy sician, but there were no such medical stores as good spirits and wines, sago and arrowroot. When stimulants were needed for the sick, the slender pri. vate stores of Capt. Holmes and Mr. Williams were resorted to. With a short allowance of water, with food of poor quality, and without a physician, it is not strange that the death roll should have been so large. It stands thus : [Here follows the list of the dead twenty-three in al. There were two births during the passage. For the deaths that took place abroad of the Azor the Liberian Exodus Association are, in the main, responsible. Their deception, their bad faith, their mismanagement, their falsehoods an evasions, led to the long delays in Charleston, to the im pecunious condition of the emigrants, and to the sickness and death of more than a score of the ignorant and thoughtless people who hoped to find in Africa more freedom and more ease than they knew in the South. Theirs is now the freedom of death, and the ease of life eternal. It cannot be doubted that Capt. Holmes and his officers did all that men of discretion and experience might do to lessen the discomforts of ~h~ na~enc~ers. and to save them. in ting to each and every one the ex anple of equanimity, patience, and unosteutatious bravery. We shall be able to publish in a day or two, we expect, a letter from Mr. Williams, giving the experiences of the Azor and her duskey freight at Sierra Leone, and reporting formally the arrival of the bark at Monrovia. Only the first chapter is yet published of what will prove to be a story of real life and adventure stranger by far than fiction.

The Herald is in the highest respect a Fam ily Newspaper, devoted to the material in terests of the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. For Terms, see first page. FOR GOVERNOR: WADE HAMPTON. Shoulder to Shoulder. It is apparent to the most casual observer that there is not that unity and strength of organization among the Democracy that characterized the party two years ago. A feeling of security has taken possession of many; they think that victory has been won, and there is nothing more to do but to enjoy it, forgetting that feternal vigilance is the price of liberty." We do not take the role of alarmist. There is no im mediate danger of a return of the rabid radical supremacy such as pillaged and disgraced the State from 1868 to 1877; but there is danger of losing apart of the ground already gained. We should not forget for a moment that the Dem ocratic party is in the minority in this State, that it required the uni ted and the most heroic effort in 1876 to elect our State officers, and that the sante unity and a like effort will be required to perpetuate the victory. Does any one suppose that the Republi can party of the country will quiet ly stand by and see South Carolina, with her five Representatives and her two Senators, pass completely into the hands of their opponents ? If he does he is greatly mistaken. That party well knows that if the Democracy carry this State this fall for State officers, Congress and the Legislatture, two years hence she will be able to choose all the seven Presidential Electors. The Republicans of the North are not ready yet to give up political pow er : they will make every effort to retain it, aiid their chief efforts will be directed to this and two or three other Southern States. The Republicans in this State- are quiet now. It is their policy to be so, and thus to lull the Democracy into a fancied security. They are still organized, and no organization was ever more complkte. They are ready to seize upon the first oppor tunity that offers to regain some of their lost ground. That oppor tu nity is the Congressional and Legis lative elections. Ulpon these points they will concentrate all their forces. They have declared that they can and will elect three out of five Rep resentatives to Congress. For this end the North will furnish money and other support. They see the Senate slipping from their grasp, and they hope to regain the House. If they succeed in this, and if Grant be the candidate for President in 1880, as he is almost sure to be, they will certainly carry the elec tion. As to the State Legislature the Republicans will make a hard fight for it, at least such are the in dications. Do not be deceived be. cause they are so quiet. They are not dead, nor do they sleep ; they are working in the dark. At a large meeting in Richland County last week they resolved to make an effort to carry that County. They expect to carry Charleston, Wil liamsburg, Beaufort, Orangeburg and other Counties where they have a large majority ; and in Counties where the two parties are nearly equally divided they expect to elect Independents. For the State offi cers they will make no fight, and this fact may lead some into the error of thinking there will b.e no opposition in -any quarter. Our firm conviction is that there will. be The HRALD, let it be distinctly mnderstood, is no man's champion. t has no axe of its own to grind in he coming campaign, and does not ropose to grind axes for others. rhe editors understand their rights )oth as private members of the Democratic party and as Editors of i Democratic paper.

As Editors they know no candidate till the nomination convention has put the seal of its authority upon him. Plain Talk from the Governor. At the reunion of the survivors of "Hart's Battery," at Blackville, the 4th, Governor Hampton made a speech, in which he said that he was satisfied the Democracy could carry the State upon the platform of 1876, and upon no other. If that policy be adhered to, and he could aid the State, his services were at the command of the people of South Carolina; but if, through the ma chinations of demagogues, other policies were injected into it during the .coming Convention, he could not, no not even for South Carolina. surrender his principle. To save the State he would willingly sur render his life, but his honor, never ! We are indebted to the Journal of Commerce for his speech' in full, which is as follows: My Friends of Barnwell: When I was invited here to participate in this re-union, and to help to do honor to the valor of Hart's Battery, a com mand to which the people of B3arn well contributed so much, both in men and material, I came to be a silent participator. not to make a speech. So I have not come with any preparation, for I reme.mber that when I came to old Barowell last snmmer, your distinguished leader, Gen. Hagood, who was then running the machinery of the campaign, told me that he had the most perfect COD tempt for all speeches, and that they did no good in the world. [Laughter.] Hie also told me that as I had to speak, anyhow, I might as well go on, but not to make it longer than ten minutes. [Laughter ] I complied with his request, for I felt satisfied that under the martial law which he semed to have established her'e, if I had spoken more than ten minutes he would have me taken out, court-mar tialed, and shot on the spot. [Ap plause and laughter.] I can scarcely say more to you than to say what Burke once said, when asked to follow a great speaker in a debate in the House of Commons, I say "ditto, ditto," to all that has been said by General Conner. As I sat and lis tened to the advice of that man who has made so matny sacri6ees for the State-as great sacrifices as any man could make-I knew that I could wet listen to better advice. That it was the sound judgment, discretion and conservatism which marked his course throughog. When I heard him advise you to scorn office seekers, ad look only to men who would su bordinate their own to the public in, terest, to send our best men to the legislature, I felt that he was the one man whose voice should be the best and truest exponent of the true sentiment of the good people of-South Carolina. (Cheers.) If I would add anything to what he bas said, it would be to assure you that the victory is not yet won; that on your conduct during the next two years depend the future prosperity of this State; whether your future shall be glorious and happy, or whether it will be like the dark past of the last ten years. Will you serve God, or mammon ? If you listen to demagogues, to men who will harangue you, and who will tell you that the glorious platform of 1876 was well enough for a promise, but that you should not heed the pledges made then, I say you may as well relinquish the fight right now, for South Carolina will soon be returned to the hands of those who misgoverned her two years ago. Not only that, but we shall LOSE THE PREsIDENTIAL ELECTION and make the great National Demo cratic party a failure. [A voice We'll never do it.] I don't think you will. Barnwell claims to be the banner county of the State, and she has established her right to the claim. [Cheers.] Why ? Because you re eognized the equality of every citizen before the law. You went to the col ored people and asked them to aid you in redee:ning the State. You told them that their rights would be pro teeted; you appealed to them to help you to work out the redemption of our :ommon country, and they came to your help. Would you now, when hey heeded your call and helped you in your hour of need, turn your backs upon them, forget your promises, and -a to them, now that you have helped 3ension in the ranks. Our success in State as well as in national t politics demand entire harmony and I unity in feeling and action. We i want no hybrid Democracy. If the 1 party be true to its principles we I' shall carry the election in every I part of the State, andin 1S80 we shall be prepared to give the whole i electoral vote of the State for the i Democratic candidate for the Presi dency. Let the Democracy of New berry County, at least, see that they do their duty. Redmond, the Outlaw. Carl McKinley, special corres pondent of the Charleston News and Courier, has succeeded in ob taining an interview with Redmond, the outlaw, whose exploits in North and South Carolina has rendered him famous, and for whose appre hension, dead or alive, there is a reward of $1,000. McKinley's un dertaking was a dangerous one, and he deserves great credit for its successful accomplishment. He went to Pickens Court House and there addressed a note to Redmond, asking an interview at any time and place and under whatever restric tins the latter might require, and put it in the hands of a friend of R.'s. In a few days a favorable an swer came, and the interview was had~away up in the mountains of the Blue Ridge. The correspond ent describes Redmond as twenty three years old, handsome, frank and gentlemanly. He is a native of Georgia, but removed to this State when a boy, where he sup ported his aged and infirm father, a bed-ridden mother and three sisters by working on the farm in the day and distilling at night (this was be fore the revenue laws.) After the passage of the revenue laws the offi cers got after him; they arrested his father, seventy-eight years old, and carried him to Asheville. His mother was so frightened that she died in a few days; his father died a few weeks afterwards from fatigue and exposure consequent on his ar rest. The next was the killing of Duckworth, a revenue officer, who attempted to arrest him without a warrant. Sometime after this he was betrayed by a man named Van Hendricks, surrounded and cap tured, together with a young 'nan named Amos Ladd, the same that was killed only a few weeks ago by revenue officers in Pickens County. He escaped from his captors with his hands tied, and then returned single handed and rescued Ladd from a -dozen officers, wounding several of the party. While under arrest, Barton, one of the officers, robbed him of his horse and $186. He went to Barton's house and de manded back his horse and money. Finding Barton and his w:fe in straitened circumstances he took $100 and gave them the other $86 and the horse. We cannot follow him through his eventful career. Redmond declares himself ready at any time to surrender himself to the State Conrts for trial, satjshed that if fairness and justice be done him he has nothing to fear ; but he says he is not willing to be tried by the United States Court, where the revenue officers could swear his life away, or pay some one else to do it. If Bedmond's tale be true, and it reads like the truth, he is a man more sinned against than sinning. A Greenville correspondent of the 2Vews and Courier saks : "It seems to be the general impression that none of the old members will be returned (to the Legislature). The most interest centres in the re election of Gen. Gray, who is opposed by ex-Judge Cooke." Well, it's none of our funeral, but if Greenville County is so utterly demented as to prefer Cooke to the gallant and high-toned Gray, one of the best and truest men of the last General Assembly, then-well, may the Lord have mercy on them. T he Southern Christian Advocate will hereafter be published in Char leston, by Walker, Evans & Cogs well. It is no doubt gratifying to the Methodists of the State to have their Church paper in their midst again, and they will give it a hearty support, as it will certainly deserve it under the editorship of Rev. F. M. Kennedy, D. D., and Rev. S. A. Weber. We gladly put the Advo cate on our exchange list. Win. P.

As far as my official career, I chal leoge any man to put his finger' on a single act of mine which is not in ac cord with that platform. The people of the State gave me that platform as a chart and compass, an*d I have used it as my guide. We have accepted the platform of the National Demo cratic party, which recognizes the equality of every citizen before the law, and we must abide by its rules. [Cheers.] In all parts of this State from where old ocean meets the .shore to where the Blue Ridge kisses the sky, we have promised the colored people to carry out these pledges in good faith, and I tell you that I and the gentlemen who now hold the of fices in this State would rather resign -yes, would rather cut off our right arm than violate a Single one of these pledges. [Cheers.] I have heard ru mors about fraud and counting in. It has been said that' the machinery ol election is in our hands, and that we could easily covnt in our candidates. NO COUNTING IN. Let those who think so banish the thought. I tell you. people of Barn well and of South Carolina, that il once you countenance that sort ol thing, in a very few years the peoph of South Carolina will not be wortl saving. That policy can't be success. ful, for the men who now constitut( the Returning Board would die befor( they would perjure themselves.

Ouro Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 3, 1878. One effect of the Potter Investiga tion has been to make Senator Kel logg, of Louisiana, the favorite at the White House. An affair which has damaged so many Republicans has helped the fortunes of thisone. Kel logg is said to have gone to New Or leans poor, to have had no legitimate occupation while there, and to be worth two millions of dollars now. His "luck" is as great as that of Hayes. Now that this Louisiana mess is before us again, it is worth while to remember the character of the people who carried that State year after year against all the intelligence and hon esty there was in it. Except Packard there -is hardly ore of that host of carpet-baggers who would be believed under oath. Eliza Pinkston, by the way, whose wounds and bruises had so conspicu ous a part in the affairs of 1876, has made a confession, to the effect that politics had nothing to do with the killing of her husband or with her mutilation, and that she was paid five hundred dollars for exhibiting herself and her miseries'to the visiting States men. She adds to this story another which is so exquisitely characteristic of the Louisiana Republican that it makes one believe all that she now says. It is that she put the most of this five hundred dollars in the hands of one of Hayes' electors, and could never get it back. In the investigation here the most important fact developed in'the last j few days is that made by William E. ) Chandler, that Mr. Hayes and his im ) mediate friends, prior to the settlement 'of the Presidential question, had de cided to throw Chamberlain and Pack ard overboard and had made arrange ments to secure Republican Senators from Louisiana and South Carolina.
