BdiT" Tho United States Court sits in Charleston this month. Somo ol tho parties arrestod in this County, wo understand, will ho carried there for trial. B&' As tho Mackoy investigation matter has cro>?tod ooneidorablo com^ ment throughout tho Stato, wo pub lish on our outsido this week, a letter of ours published in tho Greenville iNows ot tho 24th ult, in vindication of tho courso wo took in tho matter, civiny our reasons for favoring investigation. Wo liko for our people to understand our position on all mattors of public interest. BS^Thc Democratic victory in Miss issippi is now mado complete. Gov. Ames and Lieut. Gov.

Stone, tho Democratic Prosidont pro tcm of tho Senate, has bccomo Governor.? Tho Democrats having controll of the Executivo and LogiHlativo departments of tho Stato, tlioir rotoniion of power will not bo so difficult, jWgrThc Pickens Democratic club has otio hundred and four in number; it is still daily increasing; call on W. T. Me Full, tlio Secretary, rend the Constitution, and register j'our names on the sido of honesty, capacity, and official integrity, and henoo forth and forovcr declare against, dishonesty, incapacity, and official corruption in the administration of government affairs. Organization lias either alrondy, or will very soon bo completed in eight Townships. Let the organization of the Domocracry ol Pickons County for onco in her history be a unit against Radical rule. Her noble yeo - manry cannot bo othorviso than true Democrats to their very heart's corc. And overy one now has tho opportu-* nity, and ho is specially invited, to come forward and bo what his country, his anccstiy, and his God intended bun to bo?a noblo Democrat. Lot thcro bo no shirking of duty. Skirmishing Tho two national political parties aro skirmishing heavily at this timo preparatory to settling down to a general lino of battle. 80 far tho Democrats havo tho vantngewground, and can make an almost impregnable breastwork of the recently .exposed j thioving rascalities of tho lladical a<l 1 ministration. If 11?cy do not win, it, will bo entirely for tho want of good gonoruluhip. The Work of Organization. Tho work of organization in this County is progressing favorably. In Pickonsvillo, Salubrity, Garvin and Pickons Court ilouso Townships vory good clubs have boon organized with a daily increnso of moniborship. Kaetaioo holds a mooting on tho first Saturday of noxt month to organize a club. In Dacusvillo. tho Domoorats havo always been so strong that, wo prosnmo, the}' think it hardly ncoossary to organizo; but this is n mis. tnko. Thoy should loso no tirao or of fort to placo themsolvos in a position not only to hold thoir strongth, but to incroaso it. Tho oitiaens of thin Township aro worthy and trno men, and wc fcol fissured will, in duo season, tako proper steps to perfect an organization. Wo have had no reports from Pump kintown and Easley Townships, and can not say what steps liavo boon taken towards an organization in thom. These Townships, wo liavo no doubt, will organizo in duo time. ? The Enforcement ActThe Supromo Court of ilio United States, after a lapse of two or three yearn, has rondei-cd iLh decision on the Grant Parish (La.) caso. This d^iis* ion is oxtromly important at this juncture, as it rc-aflirms tho States Rights doctrino. Tho case grow out of a riot botwoon tho whites and nogroes, and tho whites wore indictod under tho provisions of Iho Enforcos mont Act. Justico Bradley, of tho Supremo Court in reviewing tho enso, said that tho Fifteenth Amendment to tho Constitution "docs not confor tho right to vote; it only confers a right not to bo cxoludcd from voting, b}' reason of raco, color or provious eons dition." 'This view is uphold by tho Supremo Court. Under this decision tho States still retain tho sovereign powor in relation to suffrago, except it can not exeludo any ono on account of "racc, color or previcn* condition;" but may establish an educational, property, or any oilier qualification t seen proper. Tho decision does not declare the Act unconstitutional, but restricts the jurisdiction of tho United States to cases only whero tho (pies tion of color is raised. -No eases of assault and battery, riot or murdor can be tried under I ho act unions it is committed on account of '-race or color."' The Act iindcr this decision does not provont citizens from combining and refusing to employ any ono \vb? votes tlio Republican or Democratic ticket as tho case might be. Many gentlemen wlio have heretofore been prominently connected with the Republican party in this County, liavo patriotically conio forward and attached themselves to tho Democratic clubs. There is room for all. We have not seen tho result of tho Connecticut election which came off last Monday, and consequently can not give it to our readers. .?. ? . tifdb" Alexander II. Stephens has so far recovered his health as to boablo to return to Washington. Mr. Stephens' services, il his health will permit, to the causc of honesty and constitutional government, will at this time bo invariable to tho country. Distki'.psino.? Mis9 Parker, daughter ol f)r Parker ot Columbia was seriou&ly burned at Williamston last week. Iler clothes, it is supposed, caught Iii'o in a house, and she bad gone near a halt tni'e before she discovered it.

Editor: In tho last Skntinxl I notinn nil iillnninn tn llin fnilnrn of Townships to sond in reports of organizations of Domooratio clubs, which together with a convorsation I had tho other day with a citizon of an adjoining Township, indue cs tho opinion, that perhaps thoso organizations aro not as gonernl as tho exigency of tho caso dornands. 1 am persuaded, howovor, that tho tardiness of soino of tho Townships to organize, and tho inactivity of eomo of our citizens in rogard to tho matter, do not spring from any want of truo Democratic principlo, but rathor from a failure to seo tlio necessity for tlieso organizations in our County, coupled in tho minds of somo witli an antipathy to anything liLeo an obligation or committal, as to how they shall cast their vote. In this, I venture tho assertion, that thoro aro few among us who do not sympathize to a greater or loss oxtont. Wo doploro tho necessity for organization. Wo know that it is contrary to the genius of tho government established by our forefathers; anil it is not without a feeling of humiliation that wo yield to this nocossity forccd upon us by a powerful and unscrupulous faction.? Hut, however much wo ma)' deplore, wo cannot?dare not ignoro it. A rwnubjjoui 01 uiu iiiihgovcrnmoni anu corruption that havo charactorizod tho supremacy of .Radicalism in this Slate will convince tho most incredulous of tho fact tlmt wo are struggling for our very existence as a pooplo. Tho position wo occupy is truly ono of tho gravost responsibility. Wo arc contending with an cnomy base, but powerful?thoroughly organized and armod with every subtle machination that satanic windom can suggest. As a band of stragglers, howover valorous, wc can not successfully capo with this foo. Wo must meet organization with organization. Nor can this bo too thorough. Tho time has came for indifforcnco to give place to solicitude lor the common weal, and for that lclliurgy that has so long characterized too many of our citk zens politically to givo way to a 1 iv^ ing activity in the cause of good governmsnt. Every Democrat white or black; every lovor of honesty or enemy of corruption, should formally enlist hy connecting himself with a Democratic club. It is a humiliating fact, that notwithstanding tho oppression we have had to endure from Radical misrule, the true strength of tho Democracy has not boon polled since the war. Lot us wipe out this disgrace by answering to a man at tho roll call next fall. The .Radical majorities on the other hand, it is boiicvcd, have beon really much less than their nublished afntemmilft? I ~ ? "" *"" Thcso facts among others, afford ? reasonable basis lor ll>o opinion thai a united and well directed ofFort will result in tho election of a Democratic Ciovcroor noxt fall, and tho consc <pior:t ro-cstablishmcnt of an honesl and dignified administration onc< more in South Carolina.
