We see that Maj. T. H. Russell recently
'ade a speech'to about thirty men near
Volumbia, in which he denounced both the
Demooratio and Republican parties, saying
l'hat they both had outlived their usefulness,
&o. He denounced the Ldkislature for
passing-the stock lAw, and the registration
law. Wheu the stock law question was
1rat agitated In Anderson County he was:
,one of its strongest advocates, and con
11inued to advocate it until finally'adopted.
*e has always heretofore commended the
*4aw most heartily as being one in the line
of true agrioultural progress. His voice
was always raised In its defense. We heard
him have a very heated discussion not a
great whi'e ago with an old ant-streek law
farmer of this County, in which we thcught
'consideralle passion was aroused on both
aides. But predto; he chfrnges- He is now
'trying to organizce a Greenbank anti-Dem

IuIlbert was corrupt. had been bribed be

again. Blai'ne was then Secretary of war,
*nd was fully a'pprised of the bribe and
a gl'eed to do all he could to carry out the
- 'urposa'sof Shipherd & Co., and for t hut
* uoae adlopted a hectoring, overbearing
~policy towards Chill, that caused several
eomplientions and came very near involving
4war in which thousands of lives and vnil
noD et dollars would have been spent.

fiatter, but what action will be taken res
gnains to be seen. The Republicans have

I was !old this morning that the tock
Law Ku Klux are also operating in Kershaw
county and tat the barn f Col. L. W IR.
Blair was burned down on last Saturday or
Monday night. It is believed th-at the deed
was done by those who are opposed to the
stock law. It is said that Col. Blair hail
begun to plant. without fencing, that a let
ter upon wvhich there was a roughly drawn
coffin was left at his pInce warning him to
be on the lookout, and that after this warn,
ing nad been given -his barn was fired. I do
not know that there is any truth in the
rumor, but I give it for -what it is worth.
-In another letter the correspondent says
that Mr. Frank IIanpton' had given the
poor'people df -his neighborhood permis.
sion to fence 'in four hundred acres for a
pasture, and that after the fence had been
completed the Ku-Klux burned tip about
forty pa'nne'is of the fence. They also
burned tip the pottery works of Captahi
Stork about ten miles from Columbia. No
doubt the Greenback -Radical speeches made
in that vicinity has had a great deal to do
with the violence of the anti stock law people
In this County when the 'law was first
passed, the feeling in opposition to it was
nearly as great as that exhibited by these
people in Richland and Kershaw, and in
one section of the county, a hundred or
two pannels of the line rente were burned
up. This was also the case- In Greenville
County; but as soon as the law went into
oporation, and those who opposed it so
strongly saw its practical worki-rgs, all op
position ceased, and, some of those very
men who opposed it so streanuously are
now its strongest advocates. It will be so
in every other section of the State once the
law is fully in operat-ion. The great mis
take made by the Legislatture, and one we
opposed at the time, was postponing the
operation of the law in some of the coun
ties until the first of October niext. 'Ihe op
position to the law will be kept uip in those
counties tint il after it, goes into opera. ion,
and the demagogue will have a good field
to work in during thle next elect ion. There
miay be trouble in those couintie dturing
the next canvass. but if the lawv had been
put into operation the first of April, all
opposition would have died out before the
next. el'ction. Those who are trying to
render the lag inoperative by acts of vio
lence miuy repent of their course before they
are thurouigh withI it. It is an Act of the
Legislature and can not be annulled except
by the Act of another Legislature,-and it is
the duity of all to obey it, huorve'er much
they may be opposed to it, so long as'it
reniaiins on our Statute books. Violence
begets violence, and those who are now
hreateninig the farimeris who favor the law
withI personal injuiy and are destroying
their prtoperty, nmy meet withI a retaliation,
att the hands of those mhen, more ter
rible than they have ever bhought of. Obe
dience to law is always the best policy. andi
itf the law, after a fair trial, should prove to
be oppressive or injurious to any particular
section of the State, or class of ouir people,
it can be repealed or modified so far as
that, particular section or class of people
are concerned, so as to give them suich re
lief as the circumastances of the case may
demand.

advocates -of a protective tariff. The Am
erican laborer of thie future would demand
an open mitrket--not tree trade, but fair
tde. cheap labor and -poverty are t winc.
China had the ilost cheap labor, and was
(he poorest country iin the world. England
built the only railroad in China, and that
was torni u by the Chinese. There is no
wealt hi w ithout intelligence. The forces of
nature ire inert till quieke'i by the wand
of genius. A foul stream always pollutes a
pure one. No uank would elcome -negroes
to this country if they were not already
here. The country would 'be better oif
without. them. They were and are a curse
to the South, and the South would be in
catlculably better ol if she could be rid of
then altogether. White men would settle
the South and make her rich and powerful
bitt for t lie presence of the black. The n
groes made labor dishonorable, and kept
white men at. a uistance. Anybody who
thought this race problem acttled wts
