This ?H tho caso in tho ordinary affairs of lifo, ur.d it is cqunlly truo in matters of public concern. Too often men judgo tbemselvos good or bad by comparing themselves with othora takca ns models. This io fallacious and will not bear tho test of fair judgment. So, too, aro wo prono to look abroad for comfort io threatened or actual misfortunes, not realiz ing that its source is in tho heart and con duct of each man. In tho consciousness of j a full discharge of every duty devolving on us I ns individuals or citizens rests contentment, and this is no truo in politics as in morals, in government as in religion. Wo aro now in tho midst of a campaign pregnant, in our judgment, with tho highest interests of our State and nation. In suc cess wo seo tho prospect of honest govorn - mont and public security, of union ?nd concord, of ronl unity nnd reconciliation. In defeat wo expect a train of ovtls, likely to poison tho vory fountains of liberty, by fan ning tho spark of soctional bato, encourag ing contrnli/.ation and oudorsing tho past OXC09SCS and corruptions of tito party in powor. By centralization wo do not monn that concentration of powor uecossary to tho preservation of tho national govornment or to tho suppression of outbreaks and violonco in any of tho States. Wo doom this powor logitimnto and ossontial to tho gonoral gov ernment and proporly used a safeguard to oitizens of all tho Statos. Tho danger ot centralization is hotter scon In thc tendency of national legislation to draw into tho United Stntos Courts business proporly cog? I D?r.ablo in tho State Courts, with nil tho at? tendant expenso and inconvenience to tho people This was tho effect of tho national bankrupt law, which, to a great degree, de stroyed tho provhionsof Stato Insolvonl laws to tho injury alike of debtor and oroditor. It is Boon, too, in tho KovonuO laWB and their enforcement, dragging peoplo to Qroonvillo for soiling a hand of tobnoco or a quart of liquor. Moro clangorous still is tho olaim of jurisdiction by tho United States officers when alleged tobo dono whilo cn duty. By this moans the liven of ottr pooplo aro placed at tho .mercy of ofici?is and in nota fow cuses in our State has lifo bcon takon and tho partios permitted to go without trial through tho intervention of tho United States Courts. Thoeo evils will incroaso with ovory Icaso of power to tho Republican party, and thu? our liberties will gradually disappear and local government, tho bulwark of liborty and tho truo sourco of strength in government, trill bo destroyed. Tho highest typo of freo government is tho exorcise of a? little central power as possible, consisten1 with tho propor atrongth and preservation o tho general government. This is tho croei ot tho Democratic party, whilo that of th Republicans is to'merengo tho central powc by inroads on local govern mont. Moro than this, wc feel that in this cainpaig is to bo decided whether wo shall bu ono pcopl in friendship and interest us well as in govern ment, and whether tho creed of sectional hal advocated by thc Republicans shall prevail ovi reconciliation. In a campaign fraught wit such interests, tho Democratic party has m< with disaster. Indiana, tor years ranged on tl side of thc Democracy, has gono Republican h six thousand votes, after a full and exoil ti canvass, amt Ohio has increased its Republic majority. This iu a serious blow lo tho Demi crats, and thc moro so becauso it was so litt expected, and still more so because on tho vc of Indiana many hung tho scale of (ho Novei ber clcctioa. Tho surprising success in Mail hus been moro than counterbalanced by thc su prising dcfcnl Itt Indiana. It is (ruo that t vote in November may show a Democratic su cess, for there can bc no doubt thal tho great' efforts of thc Republicans were put forth carry thc State, hy tho usc of money and tho patronage of tho entirei Government. Ol being safe, nil was concentrated lo carry ! diana. This cannot occur in November, as cv? State ia thc Union must volo Ihc same day, ii no such concentration can bo ngaiu mado in n one Stale, besides, wc may well say, thc cut of thu Democrats is not lost with tho loss Indiana, as thc South with tho votes of N York, Now Jersey and Connecticut can elect, with California or sumo other doubtful Slate one of thc small Slates are lost. However I be, complaint or uuirmuring on our part can remedy ibo difficulty, but may aggravate We need not look to other States for stlOO Tho Democrats in each State should look carrying their own State. In thc ordinary p suits of lifo if each individual should bc wat lng mid criticising ibo acts and progress of neighbor.1? to the neglect of his home affairs ono would prosper. So iu thc political world look ?broad for success will yield nothing defeat and disappointment. Whether in p pcrity or adversity, in successor defeat, in 1 or d?pondaney, our duly is plain. Wo i work and carry our own Slate, both in thc I nnd national election. This is important comprises our full and only duly. Wo look and gather euell comfort nod encourngei from aluoad, as circumstances alford, bul i lind adversity lhere, thc more need of cn and activity on our part lo preservo our I government. In our defeat in Indiana wc sh only sec the more need of energy al home our Stato may not be lost, too. Mopes an teri ti ned that Indiana in November wil found Democratic and we should cherish t hopes and leave our State in no unocrta Work ot home, constant and active work Democrat ic success is our duty, and if \ this nnd fail then wc will have nothing to t ourselves willi. In republican government tho ball tho shield of the citizon and tho ?word which to out off corruption in high pl Uso it with judgment and all will bo neglect it and all will bo lost. Tho Lamo Duck for Congros On last Friday, under a call of B. I'. Blo< Revenue Chairman, a Radical meeting, co ag of one hundred and seventeen ucgrOC ifhile Republicans being present except Rio Kane, luerrick nod Jillson, all Revenue o 1 li net in thc Court House. E, P. Rlodgctt, thc chairman, called thc ng to order, and after a few remarks on lom of speech, kc, in which he tried to he impression that perhaps this meeting ?ave been disturbed, bul that ho had txtra pains to havo it without disturbar nlroduccd Gen. C. J. Slolbrand, Radica lidalc for Congress from the Third Dislric Ktolbrnnd, under thc watchful eye of t )cinocrnts present, appeared very liervoui poke in thc beginning nf national poll! he record of the Republican mid Dcm inities. Ile appeared or lided to appen air in his strictures upon thc Democra Olcged that they were not lo bo trusted: JOOAUSO they were unsound upon thc pieslions of tho day. Second, (hat lin wrong on tho tariff. Third, that altliOUj ,vould never attempt to enslave the negro, Democracy, from their training and cd "or a century, would domineer over ll ivhitc and negro and put him in a ll 901*80 than slavery. Al this point Maj, S. I*. Dendy Int? Ihc speaker ami corrected him, dcnyii ?osilivoly and emphatically that su Ihc teaching and intention of the Dem Stoibrand then went into State polit ipoko first of thc schools and their ration by Ihc Democracy of thc Stale; that thc Democrats of thc State failed I Mite and punish the Radicals thal t icensed of crime; attempted to mnkc pression upon thc mind of tho negro Hi iccusntions wcro without foundation, .ho Democrats did not convict and pu Ltadicals; that if they were guilty tho D were reprehensible tor letting them mnishod. At this point in his speech he challe ?no to show anything against any R< low prominent in tho State J. S. Vernor, Esq., responding to tl ongo, read from thc Joint Investigad lillee on Publio Frauds tho followin nd asked tho General to explain, to w "C. J. Stoibrand, a Northam man, d Major Loo in January, 1809, thro ppointmcnt of Governor Scott, and tomi of office commenced il notion of frauds, perversion of tho funds of tho institution and embezzlements. Ono transaotioo was tho hy potbeoation of $30,000 of warrants on the Treasury with Governor Scott for a loan of) $16,000. Scott sold and usod tho wbolo amount, and thus caused tho loss to tho State of at loast $16,000, if Stoibrand is to bo boliovod. Next bis transaction with Hardy Solomon. Tho salo of certain woolen machinery by Solomon to Qenoral Stoibrand for tho use of tho Penitentiary, charged at $4,000; discount allowed Stoibrand of $1,090. 05, roduoing tho prioo to $2,903.35. ohargod to tho institution nt $0,480, thus allowing a fraudulent profit to Stoibrand of $3,670.G5. And this machinery was worthless and never used. Again, tho account of Hardy Solomon against the institution for supplies in a given period amounted to $42,049.65. General Stolbrnnd'a reports covering tho samo period shows credit on this account in tho sum of $75,170.75, of wbiob largo disorcpanoy Stol brand has given no explanation-indood, ho was not nblo to produoo any accounts or vouohore rotating thereto." Tho (len er al was completely demoralized and attempted to doline himself by sayiug that Senator Caution, of Sparlnnburg, had made a subsequent'report acquitting him. Mr. Veraer asked when this was and Stolbrand replied In December, 1877. Mr. Vernor then replied that no .such report had been made and challenged him to produce it. Thc General hecamo completely confused and tinnily broke down to thc mortification of his audience. Unablo to speak further under this load, ho made a few incoherent remarks and quit, Ulodgetl then adjourned thc meeting. Mr. Vcrner, after tho adjournment, asked to bc heard, but thc negroes refused him an au <1 i unco, unwilling to hear tho truth, having been so instructed, it is supposed, by their lenders. Every man should accustom himself to regard tho ballot not only as ono of tho highest privileges of a freeman, bul as ono of tho most imperative linties of tho citizen. Ho should at all times exercise it A disastrous fire occurred nt tho wharf in Charleston on tho 17th instant, rosulting in tho injury or des I ruction of .ten thousand bales of cotton and sumo real estate and shipping. The entire loss ia estimated at five hundred thousand dollars, tho most of | which is covered by insurance chiefly in foreign companies. Tho fire was discovered about 2 o'clock P. M. on Sunday and was then confined to n singlo halo of cotton. As thoro wcro few pcreous about thc placo and tho wind wan high,.it soon sprcud to contigu ous cotton and then to a cition shod filled with cotton, and finally reached the shipping. Several cotton sheds and some buildings were destroyed or greatly injured. Tinco iron steamships, tho Bedford, Borrowdale and Travancore, paitinily loaded with from thrco to four thousand bales of cotton each, look lire and were greatly damaged, both tho vessels and carg?os. Tho Travancore was scuttled to ?avo it from entiro destruction. During thc Uro tho second mato of thc Bed ford, Wm. Hunter, waa killed by tho falling of thc boom of tho foremast. Several other persona were injured during thc Iii e. none tcrioualy. Tho damage to thc throe ships is estimated at $15,000 and tho total loss and damage is placed at $480,000. Thc cause of | thc Uro is unknown, but is suppo.-ed to bo from carelessness, perhaps t>omo parsing Mooker. All must admit that thc nbsonco of oppo sition and excitement in tho Stato canvass has created a feeling of indifference. Thin muet bc shaken off, if wo arc to preserve what wo havo so hardly won. Whcnovcr tho voter sleeps on his privileges ho is in danger. Tho Slates of Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia hold elections on tho 12th instant The exact result has not yoi been determined, but it is known that thc Republicans have carried Indiana and Ohio, tho formor by about six thousand votes and tho hitter by twenty thousand. Gains havo been made in Con gressmen by thc Republicans in both States, nnd thc Legislature of Indiana will bc Re publican on joint ballot, thus losing ns one Senator in Congress. In West Virginia tho D?mocrate were successful, carrying tho State by from ten to fifteen thousand totes.

Tho loiters from tho different schools indi cated that considerable interest had boen taken in thc causo of Sunday schools, nnd that much had boon dono in tho study of tho Scriptures.

Tho object of tho Union is to mnko a united effort to promoto tho causo of Sunday Schools in our midst, and in this wo hopo that wo will havo thc sympathy of all. T. A. A. In tho loss of Indiana, wo havo tho greater reason to loavo no stono unturned to carry South Carolina for tho Domooratic county, Stato and national candidatos. If, thou, from fniluro elsewhere, wo should loso tho national ticket, our local government will bo prosorved. There- aro indonondent candidatos in tho flold, and while wo have ito fours of our oounty ticket miscarrying, still If ono man nogloots to turn out and voto, why may not another and another, until tho whole voto is a failure.

Tho Ooncrul Assembly on Dcoombor 23, 1879, adopted a Joint HoMoltition "proposing ao nmondmcnt to Section 32, Article II of tho Constitution of tho Stato of South Caro lina relating to u Uomostead, and providing that tho benefits of a lIomuHtoad exemption may bc shared equally by ?ll oltissos of citi zens." This amendment, which will bo submitted to the qualilicd voters ot' tho Stato at tho Oonornl Election itt November noxt, is as follows: "That Seotiou 3'2, Article ll of tho Con?

It shall be thc duty of tho Gene nil Assembly itt their tir.-t session to coloree tho provisions ot' this section by suitable legislation." The intention of thc amendment is to remedy thc inequality or injustice which tho present Homestead law. as applied by tho Courts, occasionally works Under the ttutendtnent the exemption nf $1,000 in hinds nnd $500 in perenna! property is absolute, un 1 tho wife who has a sopttrato estate is en titled to tho exemption, if tho he.id of tho family have nut sufficient prop? orty.

Among tho members present nrc Senator Barnum and Messrs Scott of Pennsylvania, Smalley of Vermont, Hewitt of New York, Barite.-, of Georgia, and Cleveland of New Jersey. The result ol' thc October elections and tho prosecution of the campaign are, it is understood, lite subjects under consideration. Governor Willa of Louisiana and Daniel Dougherty wore also in consultation. Thc situation of the canvass was discuscd in detail, and thc following address was adopted: To thc Democratic and Conservative Voter* oj thc Country: Tho oleotion of President and Vice Presi dent is now boforc you. State and loonl dissensions arc eliminated from tho issues of tho day. .Magnitude of a victory or defeat oatt only be estimated bv the force and means employed in scouring it. l'y fraud and corruption thc peoplo of tho country were defeated in their purpose itt 1870, and thc rightfully elected President was kept from oilicc. With thc combined capital of thc Republican party, aided by repeated assessment upon thc army of office holders with thc power of the Federal govern ment represented by United Stutt s marshals at thc polls, with intimidation, fraud and a resort to every corrupt appliance known to Republican methods concentrated in two States, our adversaries have succeeded in procuring thc probable return of their local candidates, (hm it bo possiblu that in every Slate throughout this broad land thu same methods can be brought to bear thnt were used by the Republicans managers itt Indiana and Ohio'/' Can tho great States of Now York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Colorado, Nevada and New Hampshire bc bought, intimidated and defrauded? Even without the vot? of Indiana, which we bfilicvo will bo redeemed in November, with New York and New Jorsey and tho Stales that are conceded to us, including Mai no, tho ?lection of our candidate is assured. The Republican party have put tn nomi nation for President ?nd Vice-President two men who, by tho admission of their own party and press, are unworthy of your confidence and your suffrages lt is im possible that fifty millions of intelligent and patriotic peoplo will consent lo place themselves upon the humiliating level thus prepared for thom by thc Republican managers, Fellow-citizens, tho first day's repulse at Gettysburg ended on tho 3d, with Hancock in the front in glorious victory. That vic tory secured UH our Union. Tho question is not now tho preservation of tho Union, but of constitution?! government. Hancock is now, as then, in front. Tho repulse is now, then, on omen of victory, which will secure to coming generations tho inestimable bless ings of civil liberty. Ry order of tho National Democratic Committee. WM.

At tho meeting of tho Republi can Committee yesterday Sam Leo gave a pitcrcBquo account of tho politioal si tun lion iu South Carolina, ascerttng tbut Hancock's lotter ou Rebol claims has digustod tho Democrats and disposes them to help tho Republicans in exohauge for support of their local Democratic tickets. Tho Independents, ho says, are courting the uegro vote, and oro determined that there shall bo no intimidation and a lair count. Leo declared that all thc bulldozing io South Carolina is at un end, instructions having boen issurcd against violence, and tint not a disturbance has yet been board of through tho Stuto. Ile believed, ho suid, that if Northern speakers of prominence wero sent to South Carolina thu Rf publi cans could elect their Congressmen in thc Finit, Second and Fifth Districts at least, and that tho National Republican majority being 25,000, und with tho portcction afforded by tho position of thc Democrats, tho State may bu secured for Garfield. Tho Republican committee at uight determined to devote attention to tho districts named by Lue, and to tho doubtful districts in Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee and Mississippi. Scoro tary Sherman has agreed to put in some work in Virginia and tho Oatolitias, and Carl Schur/, likewise has offered his services iu tko samo field. F. W. D. From present indications tho Democrats may bise control of Congress, and to do our part in preventing this, every Democrat in this Congressional District should voto ami work for the election of Cul.
