?T^???OHV80N. V. A. 9MIT?. ' ?T V..J?VM*? The Brother lu Black. An ord orly and po ac cab lo election is wanted Q?. Novomber 4. It is a oontest between white Democrats, and one whloh should bo Bottled by thom without any appeal to negroes or Kojublloans. Cer tainly tho negro has hud no hand in bringing about tho present unfortunate split in tho Womoorfloy, ?nd ho should not now stop in ns a voluntary umpire botween tho warring factions. Ko should koop out of this fight for bin own pro sont and ' futuro good. Ilaving had no port in tho quarrel thus far, it is no funeral of his, and nothing can bi gained by 1dm by adding himself as fuol >o the fire. If there is any burning ho would reoOivo tho worst of it. It is not tho negro's dosire nor ambi tion to control tho government. Ho kilOWS that tho government which it? good for tho white matt must bo good for him so long os poaco and good order aro maintained. Ho wants tho protection of bia life, liberty and property, and encour agement in the bettering of bia r..r.U. Ju>i welfare This protection and encouragement would bo glvon by Mr. Tillman and his administration. No moro would bo re ceived by tho colored brothor from tho Independen ts. Thoroforo tho part of wisdom dictates to tho sensible negro to havo nothing to do with tho prosont light among tho wi LU i 'Knellis D?cousus Averill." Tho road to ovil is easy, and to nono moro so than to tho independent in South Carolina politics. No sophistry can dis guise tho foot that thoro aro, and can bo, only two political partios in our State, mid those, tho Democratic and Republi can. Thoro is no ground for a neutral, no placo for a mugwump. Ho who ?B not now with the Democracy is against it. regardless of what may havo boon his party affiliations in tho past. Another fad, ?B equally indisputable, that nine tenths of tho whito people of South Caro lina bolong to tho Democratic party, and will support tho nomin?os of tho Septem ber State Convention. Where, then, is tito Independent, and whonco comos Ids support, if suppoit ho rocolvos? He not, deceived hi a name ; ho may poso ns au Indopomlont Democrat or a Strnightout Domoorat, but tho votors aro either whito or black, Democratic or Republican. A few misguided Domo oratB may VOto for tho Independent, but by fat tho majority of his votes must of necessity como from tho Republican ranks. What thou is tho result? Why, don't you soo?-tho boasted Independent, is then of all men tho most dependent, FJeotod by tho Republicans ho must sub mil 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 horso, whoof and dragoon into the Republican camp, and that, too, oven against hin own will. Such was tho history of Mahono in Virginia. Such will bo the end of Haskollism in South Carolina, if attended with any .BUCQ? A Fight for Congress. All tho Democrats in this Congres sional District, who supported Norris will vote for Johnstono to a man. They know their duty and will perform it. Thoy fool that thoy aro bound in morals and in law to do so, and in addition to these considerations thoy must do so to defeat tho dreadful purposo of tho Inde pendents who have always boon de nounced by Wade Hampton as "worse than Radicals." Wo do not givo tho rumors as au I h orita! ive, but thoro is talk of danger to our Democratic Congres sional nominees. It is said that the unholy coalition means to leave out Ave of our Congressmen and give their places to pronounced Republicans. The. scheine is td swap votos for tlieso places and for tho State ticket of tho bolters. In this way tho control of tho State government will bo wrested from thc Democratic party and representation in Washington wili bo turned over to tho party of plun der. Aro our people willing to give up Ilemphill, Johnstone, Staokhousc, Elli ott, Brawloy, Sholl or George D. Tillman and bo disgraced by Smalls Whipper, Deas and such liko? Tho very thought is abhorrent Lot every man then lay asido his business and stand as ono man against all enemies of tho Democratic party anti all Ibo pooplo.-Abbeville Me diam, Thoro can bo no question that every Domoorat in tho Third Congressional District is bound by party fealty to vote for Hon. GeorgO Johnstono for Congress, because ho stands US ino nominee of tho Democratic party. All questions of per sonal proferendi were ruled out hy Ilia nomination, and tho ardent supporters of Col. Norris will now como up like true mon and Democrats to work and voto for Johnstono as against tho Republican nominee. Snell support tho friends of Johnstone, have tho right to demand; witli no less should they bo content. Thon tho samo rulo demands of every Democrat his loyal support of Mr. Till man and tho other nomi neos of tho Sop tember Convention, because they aro tho standard bcarors of tho Democracy as put forth lu th? regular State Convent., of tho party, assembled for tho express purposo of making nominations. No man can make an oxception in his support of tho Democratic nominees for either State or F?deral offices. Tho obli gation to stand by tho party nomin?os is equally binding in both respects. There fore, let every Domoorat in Oconeo and throughout tho Third Congressional I Ha li lol vote tho duly authorized and accre dited Democratic ticket from Governor down in all Stato and county offices, as well as for Congress. .

Tho situation in that Stato is a very desperate ono; the disruption of tho Democratic party, or, to bo moro oeourato, tho white man's party, is threatened, and there seems to bo no remedy for the ovil.. Following this ''is ruption will como political chaos und ruin. Tho situation scorns to bo but a stop removed from negro domination and tho ronowal of tiio troubles that wrought disaster in South Carolina during tho re construction period. It might bo supposed that tho peoplo Of that StatO, after their humiliating oxporh nco with negro domination, would steer cl 'ar of all complications that might load thom in tho direction of negro domi nation; and yot there soonis to bo a largo body of Democrats in Carolina who aro so blinded by prejudice that they aro willing to destroy tho Democratic party and take all tho risks of tho chaps that would ensue. As .Senator lintier truly says, thoro can bo no middle ground in South Carolina; no half-way house Judgo Haskell and tho mon who aro supporting him may call thomsolvos Democrat?, but thoy aro not Tinmorvrnfo. They HTS dt?rttfOyors ot 1101 noe rat ic nulty 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 Stato. Tho Domocratio party in South Caro lina has already spoken, a id in no uncer tain voico. By an overwhelming.-majority of ita voters it has nominated Tillman for Governor, lio may bo a vory* good man, or a vory bad ono-at any - rato he ls tho Democratic nominee, and those who Oppose bim must necessarily play into tho hands of tho Itopublican party, which is composed of tho worst and most vicious elements 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 t?io hands of tho Kopublionns. Thoy may call thomsolves patriots, ami yot thoy aro exposing tho Stato and tho peoplo of South Carolina to tho gravest dangers. Judgo Ilaskoll and his supporters, if they persist in tlioir ruinous course, can not escapo thu Uopublicnn party. As a matter of fact tho negroes have already hold a convention and hitched tho bolters to their cart. All that is necessary is for Judge Haskell to give tho word and tho motloy procession will move. Senator Hampton's Position. Senator Hampton has arrived in Colum bia, and lins authorized tho following statement of his political position to bo made public: "Senator Hampton, who came to tho city to-day for tho Hist time sinco his re turn from Washington, was asked'his opinion on the political situation in thc Stato, and said that he hud written a per sonal lotter to Col. Irby some days ago saying that ho would give his views in a lotter for publication, lie said further that ho would support the ticket nomi nated by the Soptombur Convention, but that ho would not speak at the meetings advertised to bo hold hero or in Charles: ton, as, in his judgment, these would only prolong the existing excitement, intensifying tho bitter fooling now unfor tunately prevailing and tend to widen tho breach in tho Democratic party. In a few days ho will address a letter to Cad. Irby giving Ins views moro fully." Tho People Have Their Eyes Open. Senators Hampton and lintier have re turned to tho State. Both theso gentle men say thoy will voto for tho regular Democratic ticket. Mr. lintier says ho will canvass and make speeches for tho success of tho Democracy, but advises against it. Senator Hampton refuses to tako thu stump for tho Democrats. Practically both these gentlemen slap tho State Democratic ICxecutivo Connnitteo in tho face, and nay wo know better than you do. This is humiliating. Senators Hamilton and lintier bo)d their high positions at the pleasure of the Domocratio party of tho Stato, and it comes in bad grace from* them to turn their backs on their party friends. They have no words of consuro for their per sonal friends who ure bolting, und seem to be enjoying tho present perilous situa tion of affairs. The people have their eyes open ! Butler's Head Is Lovel. EDOKFIKT.II C. H., October 16. fjenator M. C. Huller has been upend ing some time on his estate, Wood lawn, recuperating from tho arduous labors of the recent, protracted Con? gressional session. Senator Butler's official position entitles his opinion weight, and his well-known coolness, courage and sound judgment in an emergency, whether on tho Hold of battle or in the political forum, make it specially important that tho peo ple of thc State should bo informed of his views ami intentions in the present crisis. These considerations prompted mo to seek an interview with Gen. Butler in order that through tho columns of tho Neto? and Courier ho might reach the widest possible hearing among his constituents. Tin; interview did not disappoint my expectations, and ns will bo seen thc distinguished states man displayed all his usual coolness and sagacity. BTANBINQ UV THU PAKTV. I began by stating that the News and Courier would be glad to have a statement from him as to .what would bo his course in the approach ing State election, and which ticket ho woiild support. To this Gen. Butler replied : "I supposed that my position would be sufficiently well understood to make this question unnecessary, but I will stato it without reservation, if you desire it. The Democratic Con vention met in Columbia ou tho 10th of September last to nominate State officers. It was convened in pursu ance of a call, regularly made by tho properly constituted authorities of tho Democratic party, to,wit, its Executive Committee. A thorough canvass of thc Stato had boon made by tho candidates, and tho Conven lion by a vory large majority put a ticket in tho field. 1 shan support that ticket. Whether it is a bad or .' .liyjiir,.'' ! II M i i i a good ticket it is not Cor ino to say. A majority of niy party associates bu? o soi ec ted it and tb at is enough for me. i am not hotter than my party. No man is-speaking of tho party in che aggregate. Whenever the policies, principles or member ships of tho Democratic party bc oome so odious to mo that I cannot maintain my rotations with thom with self-respect, I shall withdraw and joiu somo other party. Thero is no middle ground in this State, ho half-way house. . A man must bo either a Democrat or Republican. Mugwumpry may be tolerable in a community of homogeneous popula tion, whero tho person uni of oithor party has tho qualifications to admin ister govornmont honestly and intel ligently, but it has no ground to siana on in this State. "Yos, tho Convontion has aotod and I shall support its action. I bolievo everybody in tho Stnto was oxpootod to participate in that re markable canvass except Qovomor Hampton and myself; still I will vote tho tiokot. Tho politioal reli?is sanco, tho regeneration which, it was claimed, had dawned upon tho Stnto, esohowed and dispensed with thc counsels of those wno had had some thing io do and to say in sheiling tho policy and destiny of tho Stato for the past twenty years. Tho result is political chaos." THU PROPOSED SENATORIAL S1>EKCIIES. Reportor : " "I seo tho Executive Committoo of tho Regulars expect Govornor I lampton and yourself to address tho people between this and the election. ' Gen. Butler: "Ahl I havo re colyed no such request. I have boon on iny plantation pretty constantly since Congross adjourned and havo not seen many., papers. How did you learn this?" Roporter : "It is sot forth in tho recent address issued by the com mittee." Gen. Butler: "Well, that is some what refreshing, cool, in fact it approaches tho temperature of thc freezing point in view of what I have just stated, after tho door wne slammed in our faces, at a time when wo might havo said or done something to have moderated and tempered tho excited canvasp, which lcd to the disruption of thc Demo cratic party. Ho wc vor, let that go, I am much more concerned for tnc interests of tho State than for nnj individuals or tho conduct of an) individuals, and if necessary 01 desirable I will speak wherever and whenever I can. I am vory 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 mont." NO NUKI) FOR ANY MORE HURRAH. Reporter: "Do you think, Sena tor, it is desirable to havo any mon public meotings and discussions?" Gen. Butler : "No, I do not. There is no need for moro public mooting! and speaking. Tho pooplo under stand the issue at stake, and may b< trusted to act wisely- if let alone The local Democratic clubs ought t< bc kopt actively at work and tho rough organization perfected, hui there is no occasion for mass meet ings*, or loud talk, or recrimination or bard "names. God knows we ll?fv< had enough of mass meetings, vulgai personalities, vituperation and ill feeling for one year. Let's cool of and go about electing a now Stat? Government like sensible mon, am if there is to be any further discus sion let it be of principles and poli eies, not persons. This is no tim for gnscouado and fustian and brag gadocio. Wo have had enough o that. Let's have a little sedate com mon sense" THAT ni.OODSIIKO STORY. Reporter: "Have you soon th? nllegod interview with Capt. Tillmai in which ho is reported to havo sah that Ufo people of Edgofield will no allow tho negroes to vote in cajio'th Straightonts try to vote them ?" Gen. Butler: "Yes, I saw it in th Washington Pout. You may we] say alleged interview, for I don' believe bo ever used such an expr?s sion as that attributed to him. Ii thc ilrst place, it wquld not bo true Thc whito people of Edgofield hav no feeling of hostility to tho negri They know full woll that tho nogr is not responsible for tho Straightou movement or ticket; no more rcspor sible than ai child, and whatever els .you may say of the Edgofield pcoph they afc not moan and oowardlj They strike right oui from the sllOUi der, and it w?nld bo mean and cow ard ly to visit upon the negroes th sins, either real or imaginary, c other people.* If a threat should b made to drive the'whit?

HCSftj0 from tho'polls beoaiiso somol^,,^ Gi. set up an independent tiekofr v;/ bo ciniolly unjust. I shall advise tn negroes pn my plantation to keep on of the controversy. If. what I lean is true thc nbminecu of tho Septem bor Convention or their friends wi make about ns strong a bid for th negro vote as tho Straightonts. S I think tho effort will bo to driv them to tho polls rather.than froi them. I do not believe there hil been any threat of driving anybod from the polls." , Ai/f. WILL WORK OUT RIGHT. Reporter : "What, Senator, do yo think will bc thc outcomo of all th political confusion and how will effect the Stato ?" Gen. Butler: "Oh, Veil,.I thin tho Regular ticket will bo eloote und WO shall all settle down again t peace and quiet, and by '02 corn together again. Don't lose sight < the fact that tho people of thc Sta! Iiavo charge of this business, an they aro geing to manngo it.
