We are not champions for o against National Banks. indeed on experience with Banks of any 1,n has been extremely limited. Th reason for this is obvious-to us and, we may add, not by any mean satisfactory. Suffice it to say it ha not been because we had any fear o *Banks-quite the contrary. The papers from all parts of th United States are full of the Green back party and their opposition t< National Banks. Now, it is but sin pie justice to~our Banks at home t< examine into the manner of theil management before we take sides and see whether or not they are the monsters that some writers woul( have us believe they are As an example, we take the Na tional Bank of Newberry ; for wi know more about that one than an' other. This Bank has been in suc cessful operation since July 1871 It commenced with $100,000 capita paid in, and in March 1872 inzreasec it to $150,000. Its business hai .been largely with the farming par' bf our community, the general idet being to assist the farmer during the spring and summer to make hif crop, and in the fall and winter tc furnish money to market it. And it can be said, to its credit, thai there has not been a day since il commenced business that it has noi responded to all demands made up on it for money to move the crop; and, by its liberal policy towards the cotton operators, has allowed full and free competition, the resuli of which has been that this has beer one of the best cotton markets in the up-country. The officers of the Bank have kindly ft"nished us the following statement, from which ii will be seen who are the stockhold ers and customers: There are 67 stockholders--54 in the County, and 13 elsewhere; average stock to each $2,238.80, held as follows Merchants, 17; Bank officers, 4; Physicians, 3; Lawyers, 5; Clerks, 2; Societies and Trustees, 5; Far. mers, 11; Widows, 11; Married women, 9--of the idows and mar. ried women a large proportion are also farmers. Over $125,000 of the stock is owned and held in this County. On the first day of September last, the beginning of the cotton year, its loans amounted in the ag gregate to $229,136.52, divided into ~ lev~n~ ~ fc11rvrtc~. ~ f~rnswn chants, hold the bulk of the stock. and that the farmers are its largest customers. Be it said to the credit of the farmers that the Bank has lost less by them than by any other class of its customers. It would seem from the above statement that the National Bank of Newberry has been managed in the interest of the citizens of the County, and is still so managed, and it is a rare occurrence that we hear complaints. At the same time the rates of interest charged are high ; but when we consider the taxes paid by the Bank it is not too much to allow for fair dividends and the risk of business. The tax paid by the Bank is 3 per cent., amounting to $4,500 annually-under radical rule it was $5,500. This tax is as follows ; on circulation 1 per cent., $1,350; on deposits j per cent., $650 ; on stamps $550 ; State and County tax $1,650; Town tax$300; total $4,500. Reduce the tax to what Banks in this State paid be fore the war, I per cent., and mon - ey can be lent at the rates current then. The Greenback party wants Uni ted States Treasury notes issued in lieu of National Bank notes ; in oth er words, they want the United States to fornish the currency for the whole country. This would amount to the United States doing a banking business, which we do not think the government should undertake. The National Bank system is a good one, the best this country has ever had. The cur rency is secured by a dep9sit of U. S. Bonds in the United States Treasury, and the notes circulate in all parLs of the country, and the bil. holders are absolutely safe even if the bank 'hould fail. We believe it would be a great calamity to the country sho.-d Con gress repeal the 10 per cent. tax on Bank circulation and allow the States to charter Banks of issue. The result would be that the cot"1 try would be flooded with an irre deemable currency issued by Banks with no securitybut the stockhold ers' liability ; and it would open the way for speculators and adventur ers to oi-ganize Banks of issue whose notes wor'd not circulate away from home, and in many cases wor'd re sult in disaster to the billholder. We hold it to be the duty of the government to protect its citizens in~ the issue of a sound currency, 'and one that will circulate freely in all parts of the United States. A d we think the present system the -best that can be des ised. The gov ernment should take up the Treas ury notes as fast -as the National Banks will issue their circulation to take its place, which they would soon do if the government shorld relieve them of the tax of 10 per cent. on their circulation and the tax of 4i per cent. on deposits. 'While politicians are making a great deal of capital of the Greepm back question, we think that with the resumption of specie payments, which will certainly take place the 1st of January next, the country will be satisfied with the present circulation, and the question will not enter into the elections of 1880. State News. The Republican Convention of Darlington County has nominated a ticket composed of colored Radicals, white Radicals, white Independents and white Democrats. The Richiand County Repupli cans have nominated for the Senate, Andrew Lee, white ; for the House, A.'W. Curtis, col., E. W. Weston, eol., W. R. Marshall, white. The Lancaster Republicans have made a straight-out nomination for the Legislature ; a white IRepubli can for the Senate, and a white and a black Republican for the House. The Democratic Convention of Charleston County, on the 15th inst., nominated Gen. Rudolph Seig ling for the Senate and seventeen members for the House, three being colored. Three white D)emocrats have been arrested in Sumiter for violation of the Enforcement act. The affidavits were made by CJoghlan, white Radical, and the warrants were issued by Sam Lee, the mulatto Radical who has been causing so much trouble in that County. The prisoners were carried to Charleston Friday, where one was discharged and the others were bailed. Pr*' Wood. The aggregate yellow fever deaths up to the present time is over 10, 000. The estimated cotton crop this year of the United States is 5,000, 000 bales, 1,000,000 of which will come from Texas, ?~VflA~ %~t Mt. Vernon. The Democra'ic Convention c Charleston County, at its late sei sion, adopted the following resoll tion: Resolved, That it is t: order of this Convention that n member of this Convention, presei at the Convention, shall be eligib for nomination to any office. That is strange. The cry "send your best men to your Coi vention, and "send your best me to the Legislature;" but how ca both be done in the face of such resolution as that? FOR THE HERALD. Retrospect-Present Prospee How marked the change in ti political aspect of South Carolina sin the overthrow of Radical commoti( in "76. T- cc is not a true heart citizen-not an individual who possessed of the least fragment patriotism-who does not feel, wellih up in his bosom, a spontaneous tc( ing of thankfulness to the Suprea Ruler of events, for this miarvelo change. The circumstances by whi we were then surrounded are st fresh in our minds. It was nothi unusual to see flaming up in t gloom of night the flame of the i cendiaries torch, not at all a nov scene for peaceable and inoffensi citizens ' be roused from their slu bers by the roaring flames or t crashing timbers of their burni buildings ; life itself was by no mea secure. The great mass of our pegi had come to look upon corrupti and theft in government officials as matter of course; nothing but fal hood and perjury in our courts w hoped for, which rendered it next impossible to reach and punish crin of the most atrocious nature. T most sacred rights of citizens we desecrated with most unblushing ar: auce. The groans and murmurin of an oppressed and 'poverty strick people, :were treated with suprei contempt by the party then in pov and by-the miscrable autocrat w was set up to misdirect the affairs the nation. The heart sickens in cc templating the terrible scourge flicted upon the Southern people the miserable horde of thieving va pires which Radical misrule sent do among them to plunder and oppr them. But thanks to a benefie( Providence, with ?ne of the noble a honored sons of her soil at the hel our beloved State has emerged fr< the gloom and oppression of that t ig period, and to-day the sun of pr perity bids fair to dispel the last ~ tage of the desponding darkness whi then enshrouded her, and to quidl into life her prostrate energies a resources. The present is not, p haps, in all respects, just as we woi have it, nor could we reasonably pect that the ship .of State woi right up and sail smoothly in so sh a time after escaping from the terri breakers through which it has pass and the injuries which it has sustain, Are. we not having a glorious gove: ment when compared to that of t years ago ? We feel secure in I possession of life, liberty and prope and the laws are fairly administer in every part of the State. The future promises well if eve citizen will do his duty. The b: thoght of a repetition of the es through which we have passed, shioi cause us to avoid any course whi has the least appearance of a possi ity of jeopardizing the advantas which we have struggled so hard obtain. Let us, by our united effor determine to hold the ground whi we have won. It is unfortunate: our County that there is so much d content manifested concerning the ; tion of the County Convention at last meeting. Some have gone so as to put out a ticket in opposition the regular nominees. This is wrong and in direct opposition to t interest of the party. But fortunati they have not, as yet, been able find one who is willing to endans the success of the party for the sat faction of personal ambition. Soi who have been called upon have fused, and we hope and believe will refuse to become candidates such terms. Although there are good many in this part of the Coue who are not pleased with the nomnii tions, yet they are almost unanimo in the determination to support it, a look down with contempt upon al one who would suffer himself to put out in opposition to it. At meeting of Smobkey Town Club a n tion to.support the regular nominati was almost unanimously carried a we trust and believe that this is t general feeling throughout the Count Other parts of the State are unit and harmonious in their efforts to rc out Radicalism. .Let not Newber be behind in contributing her sha in accomplishing this object. No o who is reasonable has ever hoped th every individual could be pleas with every man put forth by the Co vention. H.ow infinitely small, ho ever, the sacrifice of personal feelii ,quired in this matter to the good be accomplished by union and he mony in our own ranks. Somec o ject that the action of the Conventit or the manner in which it acted w illegal. The Convention itself beii the criterion of public opinion, befo what tribunal shall we arraign it prove the illegality of its proceedin Let us go to work, throw personal fc< ing and preferegee to .the wiinds at do all we can to promote the gener good by putting the finishing tout o Radicalism this fall. .SMOKEY TOWN VOTER.

EDIToRs: Allow me throug your out-spoken and manly columns to hay e a little talk with the fifty-one who silentl: 0 but most earnestly and sincerely oppose it the uncalled-for resolution adopted by th le fifty-seven on the memorable day of ou last Democratic County Convention. What is now to be done? ShAll we stat is aloof and cry "hands off," while the cot flict is raging ? Shall we say to the fift; I seven, As you did not consult us as to tI mode of battle, and virtually denied us ti privilege of assisting you in putting forwat ,n the standard bearers in the struggi we will now withhold our support and I you fight alone ? It is true that both armi are, to a considerable extent, demoralize yet the fight goes on, and as the day a pointed for the final battle approaches, will continue to wax warmer and warme t. Shall not the fifty-one, at least on this Ia day, when the decision is to be made, wil ie their united forces, join in with the fift ce seven and completely and forever demoli )n that party which has been the occasion so much ruin, shame and corruption ? d If things have not been done accordiE 1 to our way of thinking-if injustice h of been practiced, still we have much le worth fighting for. We have a Hampto not a partisan, not a fire-eater, not a po little selfish, sneaking office-seeker. th would sell all for self aggrandizement, b 1S a man, a noble Christian man, the grandt h man,-(statesman) in our opinion, upon tl ill American Continent. We have gentlemin upon the State ticket along with Hampto And then we have an Aiken, true to hit he self, to his country, to you, to me, to al n- a man who stands opposed to class legis el tion, to monopolies, and who is the frie: of the laboring man; who, if he coul would sweep from the country those t - thousand ills and curses brought upon lie by a monied power which tend to make t ac rich richer and the poor poorer. This tr ns man "has an opponent; the others mi have. Surely we ought to contend manfu. )le for them. And although we oppose a: OD condemn, and shall forever do so, the ma a ner in which the nominations were ma 5e- for the Legislature by the late Cout ,a Convention, yet we have good and tr men, South Carolinians to the manor bor to upon the ticket who are not in the least es blame for the mistake that has been ma< he At this critical juncture no question re greater importance can be suggested. must be decided avd that in a very sli 0- time. It is now too late to call togeth s the members of the Convention and a en them to undo what has been so wrongfu ne done. In our opinion this should have be der eoae imniediately after the adjournment the late meeting. It is always best, ho 110 ever humiliating it may be, to retrace o of steps to the place wLere we took the wro >n- path and get ourselves right. Such a cont often saves much repentance and many : b rets and tears. But the die is cast, a by o-morrow, so- to speak, is the last dv ul- Let us forget the present and everythi vn that mars our peace, and look to the futu SS We have nothing to be ashamed of, nothi nt to .r pent of. Our record is clear, and years to come we can refer with pride nd the vote of the fifty-one. We mustr L, condemn the fifty-seven, at least not all >mi them. I1 have too much confidence int patriotism and nobleness of heart of ma who voted with the fifty-seven to belie seven for a mement, that they acted frt is impure motives, that the wrong commiti ehi was intentional upon their part. Some en them see now, as we saw then, that uadopt that resolution under the then ext nduig circumstances, was setting a most d: yr gerous precedent, and that suca action b< LId at least the appearance of putting a p 2-. mium upon political dissension and stri ild But they were sincere in what they d Division, strife and hatred were threateni rto sap thueyfadation upon which Ale rested. Honest, patriotic men were anxion ed looking each other in the face and scriou; d asking, what shall we do for the best? T idea was entertained by some that perha the best solution of the dilliculty would wo to nominate the two individuals . wh< he criends were warring with each other. T -ty idea oni the morning of the Convention a don the day before was.warmnly pressed b: few influential men, some residents a some,.non-residents of the County. Sot .y of the delegates were led to believe tI three-fourths or four-fifths of the Conv< etion was in favor of such a movement, a ls that- all breaches would be closed up a Ld and no othsers made; and that this was t ch best and quickest way out of our dific - ties, and f'or any man to withhold his fluence from the movement would be es commit a blunder that might, perhaj to lead to blood-shed and the defeat of ts,. party. Having but little time for reflectik cb many doubtless thus voted for a resoluti ir that, perhaps, they would not vote for1 .day. We do not say that all were tht is governed, neither do we say that all s 1c- the terrible mistake that has been ma< its but we do give it as our candid opini ar that had not such influences been broug to bear ~upon the minds of delegates tI to the resolution in the form in which it a all offered would have never been adopted, a he that the day is coming when the people Bly Newberry County will refer to this matt as a time when a dangerous precedent w to established and a grand mistake m~ade. :er If the gentlemen nominated had been 1: t- in the field in the regular way, we wou tIe to-day hear of but little opposition to t e- ticket; which fact goes to show that t dissatisfaction arises more from the mann in which the nominations were made th D to the nominees themselves. Therefot a the great majority of the dissatisfied a ty called on to overlook, for the present aleast, the doings of the Conyention, forg< ating for the sake of the County the appi us ent injustice in the case, and rising up am ad doing their duty like men, even if it has lbe done under protest. Those who obje be to the men ncminated, and we knowv th in nearly every instance that such objectio a in individual cases extend only to one ma 0- and in iome fe' instances, perhaps r,) tws yn are calel upo'. for the sake of country, id. they can Ott-out doing violence to the bei feelings, to vot,e the whole tipket. Som we know, cannrot vote the entire ticket, ai 7-we are the last man to say to such, sti: ad conscience, throw away self-respecr, ot violence to every principle of honor, sh ryour eyes and take[the dose. No, we < rnot say that, but we do say to all th re we ought to be very certain that we wou D be thus acting before we conclude that s at will scratch out a single name from th ad ticket. But if we find, after proper refle -tion, after carefully weighing all matte upertaining to the subject ~in t.he sc.ales 'justice and patriotism, that we cannot vo ig the ticket in fall then we should quiet to cut out the offensive name or names ar yote the balance of the ticket. This tick bis our only chance for success; therefore v can conscientiously ask even our color< U friends to vote for it, beligving that it wjli I as far better for them and us that said tick should be elected over theirs. *This seems to be the best, wisest ar re iost patriotic course for the fifty-one art o their friends to pursue. The party mut . come together, not to justify what td 1-. Convention has done, not to declare th: d the very beet ticket that cogid be faum hias be'en putj in tie field, nor to encourag ithe party to repeat such a thing two yeam h hence; neither to encourage office-socket that such things will always be successi' and that the people will quickly acquiest in them; but to conie together to win fight over a terrible enemy, for the sake< people, of home and friends, of wives an children and all else that we hold dea: ., Let us enter the fight, help again this victor3 n.1 n edta wheall issafne. when th 'e gran ai~d then when all is safe, when the prau we may not pull." And if there should be any who love office more than country, let .. h us frankly say to such that the day for that - kind of patriotisin is past, that having been e rocked in the cradle of adversity, educated P, in the school of experience and taugbt the d %dtw of true patriotism, we have learned to know a man when we see him, to recoI e nizv a cloven foot though nicely concealed, aind "hat we will horeafter make our own sel. etion of a man and do our own eler tioneering. ONE OF THE FIFTY-ONE. October 1th, 1878. That Boy. d -- a, Dramatis personn.-A young Anerican in roundabout and leggis, s perched upon the fence devouring a ' huge piece of miuce pie, and a mai it den of five summers, in pantalettes, r looking very wishfully at the gormand on the fence. Young America-" I . say, sis, does your mar make mince h pies ? If she does I'll bet they aint f so good as my mar's." Little Miss, (timidly)-" I like mince pie awful i well." Young America-" Well, ft now, that's funny. Just look here n, (drawing a quarter of a pie out of his Dr jacket pocket) and it's boss, too ' Aint my mar good ?" (carefully stow ing it away in his pocket.) That boy ie "is father to the man " who must m have his cigars and any other mascu n- line luxury hit contemptible selfish ness craves, while his poor sickly a wife must do the work of two women id (" girls waste more than they earn," d, he says,) and. for the want of a little n money to parchase a few bottles of e Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, the e sovereign remedy for female diseases y and weaknesses, she is literally dying ly by inches, and all because of that was 2d culine selfishness that would not divide e the childish luxury with his playmate, ty and now tacitly refuses his wife the e luxury of health. n, 0..... te A CARD FROM DR.

While I appreciate sk the kindness of those who placed my name on that ticket,whoever they may be,andwhile ly I shall be glad of their support and'the sup an port of all good men, and shall, when elected, of be a representative of the whole County, yet w- having been nominated by the County Con ur vention on the regular Democratic ticket, I ag propose to take my chances with that ticket, se and to stand or fall with it.

Peterson, Esq., 0 in nonination for the Legislature by persons t whose nanes are not disclosed. I have be lot lieved all along that those nominations would of fall to the ground without any action on my be part, especially after the withdrawal of ay Judge Peterson, which I had every reason to rbelieve would take place at the proper time; -but if this ticket is to appear again I feel tbat emy silence might create a misapprehension ed inregad to my position in the premises. of I aebeen nominated for a seat in the to Legislature by a Democratic Convention of st- this County, called by the proper authority n and regula~rly constitated and organized. It ris trne that I did not seek a nomination, and rethat I consented to become a candidate only e at the urgent solicitatioir of friends who in fsisted that I could serve the interest of the Id Democracy by so doing. But having received ng and accepted the position of one of the wve standard-bearers of the organized Democracy ily of the County, I feel it my duty to stand by -ly that nomination and cannot consent to a le nomination on any tigket that conflicts with the regular Democratic nominations. .p I do not wish to be understood as rejecting be the votes at the ballot box, of those who Is h appen not tohave had part in my nomination 1is by the Convention; on the contrary I desire ad the support of all the voters of the County, Sa for I feel that I shall discharge my duty to ad the whole people of the County. But I am a ncandidate of the Democratic party and can nnot be the candidate of any other party 1 tat shall devote my energies to the election of n the whole regtilar Democratic ticket as i: rad stands.
