than it is iu thc power of organized human
society to abolish crime, But tho Demo
cratic party of this State have thc satisfac
tion to know that no commonwealth in tho
Uuion of cqunl population is moro peaceful
than South Carolina, and that in no State
anywhoronro thc laws, without respect of
party or condition, moro fearlessly and
faithfully administered. To tho low wc
remit thoso who have grievance?. From
tho law alono and under the law tho Democ
racy oxpect and oompcl redress.
The Executive committee, however, con
bider it of tho utmost importance that there
shall not bo even tho fainted disturbance
of the publie peace, or any nppronoh tc
turmoil or disorder. Wo must regard thc
interest ??of thc notional Dcmocruoy ns well
us thc interest of tho Democracy of South
Carolina. Face to face ns wc oro with tho
momentous issues for ourselves and thc
rcpublio, we must not give any excuse for
interference with our canvass, or afford any
pretext for tho introduction this year of
tlic hostile clomcnt which proved uo embar
rassing in thc campaign of 1876.
Thc Executive Committee arc confident
that tho Demooraoy will pursue without

pursue it to a glorious and tranquil end.
Tho justice of our course gives courage;

Booie MAKING VP. JOURNALISM.-Few
men havo boon more fortunato as book
makers titan Alexander II. Stephens,
whose "Constitutional View of tho War,"
two volumes, has sold, it is said, to thc
oxtcnt of fully 70,000 coppicH. Ho re
ceived a royalty of 25 cents a volume, and
has In consequence made $85,000 from tho
work-moro than most professional authors
make in their entire lives. All this and
more ho lost by his partnership in thc
Atlanta Sun, of which ho was for sonic
timo political editor as well ns co-proprictor.
He is not n man to koop monoy, for which,
indeed, except so far a? independence goes,
ho cares nothing. Although for many
years in receipt of a handsome inoomo
from his.law praotioe, and notwithstanding
his simple tastes and habits, hin unlimited
hospitality and constant giving to all who
need, or assumo to need, help, have pre
vented his acquisition of anything like
fortune. In foot, ho is ranked os a poor
man, largely owing to tho Atlanta Sun.
Journalism is always an oxpensivo expri

Tho store of McBsrs. His & PuUcn, at this
pince, was broken into on tho night of tho
13th instnnt, and about seventy fivo dollars
in goods nnd monoy stolen. Tho mouey
stolon consisted of silver nnd a two
dollar bill on tho Mecklenburg Hank of
North Carolina. Bills of tho above bnnk aro
very senrco in this scclioa owing to tho failure
of that bank somo tinto since. That bill may
ho thc means of detecting tho thieves, nnd
any on coming ueross such a bill will do
Messrs. Ilix &> Pullon a favor by reporting
snmo to thom. Tho goods consisted princi
pally of ready mndo clothing. Ono pair boots
also was missing, nnd somo tobneco. So
far thoro has been no clew to tho thieves; not
oven thc slightest suspicion. It is hopcd<
though, that tho thieves will bo caught up
with. House breaking is something that has
not been known in that community for some
timo pnst, nnd it would ho well porhnps for
us if wo could succeed in nipping tho "new

Wednesday, tho 30th instnnt, has been net
for tho County Lodgo of Oood Templars to

reasons thc Lodgo nt this placo desire it to bo
indefinitely postponed. Thoy will not bo able
to moko any preparations for it. and bosides,
they do not think it n suitable time, ns the
people nro too busy to turn out. lt is hoped,
therefore, that no delegates will bo sent boro
from any of the Lodges. Tho County Chief
has been notified of tho dosiro of this Lodgo.
When they do have a meeting here thc Lodge
wants to make it n grand success.
Fair Play can smoko the pipo "of content

tosk of having Mr, James Seaborn elected
