Our Duty
Thoro con bo no greater satisfaction IT a
person, when misfortune or disastor has be
fallen him, than to know that ho has dis
charged his full duty, and that his nogligoneo
or indolence has not produced it. 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

"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

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

so instructed, it is supposed, by their lenders.

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

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

Several cotton sheds and some buildings were

as follows:
"That Seotiou 3'2, Article ll of tho Con?

Tho oleotion of President and Vice Presi

of tho day. .Magnitude of a victory or

and means employed in scouring it. l'y
fraud and corruption thc peoplo of tho
country were defeated in their purpose itt

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

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

Fellow-citizens, tho first day's repulse at

is not now tho preservation of tho Union, but

NEW YoitK, Ootnbor 10-Their victory

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

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

to devote attention to tho districts named
by Lue, and to tho doubtful districts in

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. Aiken. It is
(ho height of folly to sit at homo election day
and expect others to prosoryo our rights. All
should vote, and as no man can vote by
proxy, all should go to the election on the
