An orderly and peaceable elect y on in wonted on November 4. It in a contest between white Democrats, and one which should bo Bottled by thom ?vithout any appeal to negroes or Republicans. Cer tainly tho negro bas had no hand lu bringing about tho prosont unfortunate Split in tho Democracy, and ho should ?ftot now stop in a voluntary umpire between tho warring factions, ito should hoop out of this fight for his own pro sont and futuro good. Having had no part in tho quarrel thus far, it is no funeral.of his, and nothing eau b j gained by 1dm by adding himself as fuol to tho Uro. If thoro is any burning ho would roooivo tho worst of it. It is not thc negro's desire nor ambi tion to control tho government. Ho knows that tho government which is good for tho w h ito man must bo good for him so long as poaco and good order aro omi ula i nod. Ho wants tho protection of his life, liberty and property, and encour agement in tho bottoring of hi? material welfare. This protection and encouragement would bo givon by Mr. Tillman and his administration. No moro woidd bo re cd veil by tho oolorod brother from tho Independents. Thoroforo tho part of wisdom diotates to tho sonsiblo negro to have nothing to do with tho prosont fight among tho whites. "Faollls Dccensus Avernl." Tho road to ovil is cosy, and to nono moro so than to tho Independent in South Carolina politics. No sophistry can dis guise tho fact that thoro aro, and can bo, only two political parties in our State, and those, tho Democratic and Republi can. Thoro is no ground for a neut ral, no placo for a mugwump. Ho who is not now with tho Democracy is against , it, regardless of what moy havo boon his party affiliations in the past. Another fact is equally indisputable, that uino touths of tho white people of South Caro lina bolong to tho Democrat ic. party, and will support tho nomin?os of tho Soptom bor StaUj Convention. Whore, then, is the Independent, and whence comos his support, if suppoit ho l'ocoivos? Ho not decoivod in a name ; ho may poso as an Independent. Democrat or a Straightout Democrat, but tho votors aro cither white or black, Democratic or Republican. A fow misguided Demo crats may voto for tho Independent, but by far tho majority of his votes must of necessity como from tile Republican ranks. What then is tho result? Why, don't you soo?-tho boasted Independent is thou of all mon tho most dependent. Elected by tho Republicans ho must sub mit to Republican dictation, and if ho maintains his supremacy it must bo in and through tho machinery of tho Repub lican party. And thus tho deluded Inde pendent is carried over horse, whoof and dragoon into the Republican camp, and that, too, ovon against his own will. Such was tho history of Mahmie in Virginia. Such will bo tho end of Haskollism in South Carolina, if attended with any .BUCOJ Congress. All tho Democrats in this Congres sional District, who supported Norris will voto for Johnstone to a man. They know their duty and will perform it. Tlioy fool that thoy aro bound in morals and in law to do so, and in addition to thor.o considerations they must do so to defeat tho dreadful purpoRO of thu Inde pendents who have always boen de nounced by Wade Hampton as "worso than Radicals." Wo do not givo tho rumors as authoritative, but thoro is talk of dangor to our Democratic Congres sional nominees. It is said that tho unholy coalition means to leave out (ive of our Congressmen and give their places to pronounced Republicans, Tho scheme is to swap votes for theso places ami for tho State ticket of tho bolters. In this way tho control of tho Stato government will bo wrested from tho Democratic party and representation in Washington will bo turned over to tho party of phill dor. Aro our pooplo willing to give up Hempliill, Johnstone, Stack house, Elli ott, Brawloy, Sholl or Qcorgo D. Tillman and bo disgraced by Smalls Whippor, Deas and such like? Tho very thought is abhorrent. Dot every man thou lay asido his business and stand as ono man against, all onemlos of tho Domocratio party and all tho pooplo.-Abbeville Me dium, Thoro can bo no question that every Democrat in tho Third Congressional District is bound by party fealty to voto for Hon. (Joorgo Johnstone for Congress, because bo stands aa tho nominee of tho Democratic party. All questions of per sonal proforenco woro ruled out by his nomination, and tho ardent supporters of Gol. Norris will now como up Uko truo mon and Democrats to work and voto for , Johnstone as against tito Republican nominee. Such support tho friends of Johnstone have tho right to demand; with no loss hhouh. they bo content. Thou tho same rulo demands of every Democrat his loyal support of Mr. Till man and tho other nomin?os of tim Sep tember Convention. beoailBO thoy aro tho standard bearers of tho Democracy as put forth in the rogular Stato Convention of tho party, assembled for tho express purposo of making nominations. No man can moko au exception in ids support of the Democratio nominees for either Stato or Fodoral offices. Tho obli gation to stand by tho party nominees is equally binding in both rospects. There fore, lot o voi y Democrat in Oconee and throughout tho Third Congressional Dis trict voto tho duly authorized and accre dited Democratic ticket from Governor down in all Stato and county offices, as well as for Congi ess.

(?a., last Friday ^i_"tim.niiimittcd three weoks rr""-! .v oid daughter of ono lino to tbCectod citizens. OAK (JBOVf Boging creek, on Itt South CatxiB? ."" ? ... varollna presents to-day, saya tho Atlanta Constitution, an object losson that may weil bo studied by the people of tho South. The situation in that Stato is a very despera to ono; tho disruption of tho Democratic party, or, to bo moro accurate the white man's party, is threatened, and there seems to bo no remody for tho ovil.. Following this dis ruption will como political chaos und ruin. The situation scorns to bo but a step removed from negro domination and tho renewal of tho troubles that wrought disaster in South Carolina during tho re con st rue t ion period. It might bo suppled that tho people of that State, after their humiliating experience with negro domination, would stcor clear of all complications that might load thom in tho direction of negro domi nation; and yot there seems to bo a largo body of Domoorats lu Carolina who aro BO blinded by prejudice that they aro willing to destroy tho Domooratic party and take all thu risks of tho chaps that would ensue. As Senator lintier truly says, there can he no middle ground in South Carolina; no half-way house. Judge Haskell and tho mon who ore supporting him may call themselves Democrats, but they aro not Domoorats. They are destroyers of Democratic unity and harmony, and thoy aro preparing to lot down tho bars sb that negro domination in ono shape or another may run riot in tho State. Tho Democratic party in South Caro lina has already spoken, and in no uncur tain voico. Hy an overwhelming majority of its voters it has nominated Tillman for Oovornor. Ho may bo a vory' good man, or a vory bad ono-at any-into he is tho Democratic nominee, and those who oppose him must necessarily play Into the hands of tho Republican party, which is composed of tho worst and most vicious olomonts in South Carolina. Tho mon who. aro bolting Tillman's' nomination may call themselves Demo crats, but thoy aro anything but Demo crats; thoy aro playing directly into tfio hands of tho Republicans. Thoy may call thomsolves patriots, and yot thoy ai'o oxposing tho State and tho people of South Carolina to tho gravest dangers. Judge Haskell and his supporters, if tlioy persist in their ruinous course, can not escalio tho Republican party. As a matter of fact tho negroes have already hold a convention and hitched thc bolters to their cart. All that is necessary is for Judge Haskel! to give tho word and tho motley procession will move Senate;- Hampton's Position. Senator Hampton has arrived in Colum bia, and has authorized tho following statement of his political position to bo mudo publie: "Senator Hampton, who came to tho city to-day for tho first time since his re turn from Washington, was asked his opinion on the political situation in thc State, and said that ho had written a per sonal lotter to Col. Irby soino days ago saying that ho would give his views in a letter for publication, lie said further that he would support the ticket nomi nated by tho September Convention, but that ho won d not speak al the meetings advertised to bo hold here or in (diaries: ton, as, in his judgment, these would only prolong tho existing excitement, intensifying the bitter feeling now unfor tunately prevailing and tend to widen the breach in tho Democratic party. In a few days ho will address a letter to C<d. Irby giving his views moro fully." Tho People Have Their Ky cs Open. Senators Hamilton and butler have re turned to tho State. Roth those gentle men say they will volo for tho regular Democratic ticket. Mr. butler says he will canvass and make speeches for tho success of tho Democracy, but advises against it. Senator Hampton refuses to tako tho stump for tho Democrats. Practically both these gentlemen slap tho State Democratic Kxecutivo Committco in the face, and say wo know better than you do. This is humiliating. Senators Hampton and butler hold thoir high positions at the pleasure of the Democratic party of the Stato, and it comos in bad grace from them to turn their backs on their party friends. They have no words of censure for their per sonal friends who are bolting, and seem to be enjoying the present perilous situai tion of affairs. The people have their eyes open 1 butler's Head ls Level. EDOBFIRI.D C. H., October 10. Senator M. C. lintier has been spend ing some time on bis estate, Wood lawn, recuperating from the arduous labors of the recent protracted Con gressional session. ?Senator Butler's o?ieial position entitles his opinion weight, and his well-known coolness, courage and sound judgment in an emergency, Whether on tho field of battle or in tho political forum, make it specially important that tho neo-' pie of the State should bo informed of his views and intentions in thc present crisis. These considerations prompted mo to seek an interview with Gen. Butler in order that through tho columns of the Netos and Courier ho might reach the widest possible hearing among his constituents. The interview did not disappoint my expectations, and as will be seen the distinguished states man displayed all Iiis usual coolness and sagacity. STANDING RY TH IC PAIiTY. I began by stating that the News, and Courier would bo glad lo have a statement from him as to ?what would bo his course in thc approach ing State election, and which ticket ho would support. To this Gen. Butler replied : "I supposed that my position would bo sufficiently well understood to make this question unnecessary, but ? will state it without reservation, if you desiro it. The Democratic Con vention met in Columbia on tho 10th of September last to nominate tiftato officers. It was convened in pursu ance of a call, regularly made by tho properly constituted authorities of tho Demooratio party, to-jivit, its Kxecutivo Committco. A thorough canvass of thc State lind been made by the Candidatos, and the Conven tion by a very large majority put a ticket in tho field. I shall support that ticket. Whether it is a bad or v'v -^-y+Vv -.*}>/'.''V?'.l.l. - ? _ ^_ _ ; a good tiokot it is not for mo to say. A majority of my party associates havo soleotod it and that is enough for mo. I am not bettor than my party. No man is-speaking of tho party in tho aggregate. Vvhonevor the policies, principles or member ships of the I)omocratio party be come so odious to mo that I cannot maintain my relations with thom with self-respect, 1 sholl withdraw and join some other party. There is no midd lo ground in this Stato, no half-way house. . A man must bo either a Dom?ornt or Ropublioan. Mugwumpry may bo tolerable in a community of homogeneous popula tion, where tho personnel of oithor party bau tho qualifications to admin ister government honestly and intel ligently, but it has no ground to stand on in this Stato. "Yos, tho Convention has aotod and I shall support its notion. I believe everybody in tho Stato was oxpootod to partioipato in that re markable canvass except GoYornor Hampton and myself; still I will vote tho tiokot. Tho political ro??is sanco, tho regeneration which, it waa claimed, had dawned upon tho State, eschewed and dispensed with thc counsels of those wiio had had some thing to do ar.d to say lu souping the policy and destiny of the Stato for tho past twonty yoars. Thc result is political chaos." TUR PROPOSAI) SKNATOUIALSI'RKCUKS. Roportor :c "I BOO tho Executive Committco of tho Regulars expect Governor Hampton and yourself to address tho people betweon this and thc election. GonV Butler: "Ahl I have ro cotyed no such request. I have beon on iny plantation pretty constantly since Congross adjourned and have not seen many;papers. Row did you learn this?" Roporter: "It is sot forth in thc recent address issued by the com mittee." Gen. Butler: "Well, that is some what refreshing, cool, in faot it approaches tho temperature of thc freezing point in view of what I have just stated, after tho door was slammed in our faces, at a time when wo might havo said or done aompthing to have moderated and tempered "lie excited canvass, which led to the disruption of the Demo cratic party. However, let that go. I am much moro concerned for thc interests of tho Stato thar, for any individuals or tho conduct of any individuals, and if necessary 01 desirable I will speak whorcver and whenever I can. I nm very tired and worn out with politics after thc long and tedious session, but I will readily do whatever I can to restore harmony and allay political excite ment." NO NUKI) VOR ANY HORK HURRAH. Reporter: "Do yon think, Sena tor, it Is desirable to havo any mort public meetings and discussions?" Gen. Butler : "No, I do not. There is no need for more public meetings and speaking. Tho people under stand tho issue at stake, and may b< trusted to act wisely- if let alone Thc local Democratic clubs ought t< bc kept actively at work and tho rough organization perfected, bu there is no occasion f<>r mass meet ings', or loud talk, or recrimination or hard 'names. God knows we llaY< had onouih of mass meetings, volga personalities, vituperation and ill feeling for ono year. Let's cool of and go about electing a new Stat' Government like sensible mon, an? if there is to be any further discus sion let it bc of principles and poli eies, not persons. This is no tim for gasconade 'and fustian and brae gadooio. Wo have had onough c that. Let's havo a littlo sedate com mon sense." THAT BT.OODSHKD STORY. Reporter: "Have you soon Uv alleged interview with Capt. Tillmai in which he is reported to have sal that Ufo people of Edgefield will no allow thc negroes to vote in case' th Straightouts try to vote them?0 Gen. Butler: "Yes, I saw it in th Washington Pow. You may wo say alleged interview, for I don believe he over used such an exproi sion as that attributed to him. I thc first place, it would not be trw Thc white people of Edgefield huv no feeling of Hostility to tho negri They know full woll that the ncgi is not responsible for thc StVaightoi movement or ticket; no moro respoi sible than a child, and whatever eh .you may say of thc Edgefield poop! they afc not mean and oowardl; Tliey strike right out from the ahou der, and it would bc mean and COM ardly to visit upon the negroes tl sins, cither real or imaginary, < other people.?

I do not behove there lu boen any threat of driving anybod from the polls." , A1??. WI I.I. WORK OUT RIGHT. Reporter : "What, Senator, do ye think will bc the outcome of all tb political confusion and how will offoot the Stato?" Gen. Butler: ?Oh, \veil,.I th . tho (tegular ticket will be eloote mid wo shall all settle down again t peace and quiet, and by 'J)'2 cou Logothor again. Don't lose sight ? thc fact that thc people of thc Sta have charge of this business, ai they arc going to manago it. Thc laid they wanted a new deal and tin l^ot it-rathor more, perhaps, till Lhey bargained for; but to uso r impressive, if not very ciegan phrase, I don't think they have b jff more than they can chew. "As to thc effect upon the Stat why that will depone! on tho ne Administration. Thc nominees ha' iioen enjoying thc pastime of th roi ing brickbats at thoso in ofiio Very soon the brickbats will beg Lo Hy at them. You know there is groat deal of difference in tho two situations of hittor and hittoo, so to epoak. Thoy havo boon tho hitters; now thoy will bo tho hittoos.

If thoy aro iooU?h and blatant and orratio tho S 4? te will suffer, and at tho noxt Jolootlon, whioh is not vory far off, lrflo people will bury them out of sight. Some of them aro untried in tho. adminis tration of public affaire, but I pro. for to hope and bolievo they will aot prudently and gradually got a firm seat in tho saddle. Thoy doaoryo nt loast a fair trial, and that I havo no doubt they will get,"--Charleston News and Courier. HIOKOKY GKOVK, S. C., Oot. 16. Mr. Ii. M.
