M. C. BUTLER, GEN. J. B, KERSHAW and probRbly other distinguish? ed speakers will address the citizens of Sumter County, white and colored, at Sumter on Wed? nesday, Aug. 31st. The people, en masse, will no doubt turn out. awBMfjaaHBBBBBaaaBHaaaaBhBaBBMrx DEATH OP A GOO!? CITIZEN. We are euro that we but utter tbe sentiment of our entire community, when we say, that in the death of Mr. ARCHIBALD ANDERSON, Sumter has lost one of her best citizens. The afflictive event occurred on Saturday last, after a pain ful illness, from pneu? monia, of but four or five days duration. Mr. ANDERSON, who was a native Scotchman, had beon a citizen of Somter about thirty-three years, and during all that extended period of time, maintained an unblemished reputation. He was firm and fixed in his prineiples-a lover ! of truth and justice-unwavering in his friendship-mild and devoted in his family circle. His death is an affliction to our whole community, but upon the dear ones he leaves behind him the blow falls with unusual severity-for to them he was as dear as tho apple of the eye. May the balm of heavenly consolation be applied to their wounded hearts. Ilia funeral services-winch took placo at the Mothodist Church, on Sab bath afternoon last, and, in the absence of his pastor, Rev. D. MCQUEEN, wore performed by Rev. H. M. MOOD-were attended by a large concourse of our people; the lower and upper floors of I the Church being filled, and many color? cd people in attondanoe. He died in the triumphs of a Gospel faith-his last words being an expression of his trust in the Saviour. "How blest the righteous when ho dies." Ui%. Attention is asked to the School notice of Mr. Taos. P. MCQUEEN. His past success as a teaohor in our midst is well kuown, and we ask for him, now, again, a liberal share of patronage. PltlvSEUVICDl'IllHT. Wo are indebted to the Planters' Warehouse for samples of the "Dexter Fruit Jars," empty and "filled." They arc of glasr id so constructed as to enable everybody to put up their own fruit and egctables at moderate cost. They are really worth looking after. By all meaus get some of them. SACRILEGIOUS THIEVES. Two cane seat chairs were stolen from the altar of the Methodist Church, at this place, a fow nights since. What could not bo said of the wretch, who goes into the house of God to steal ! BUSINESS CHANGES. Our advertising columns show that the firm of PATE & TAYLOR has been dissolved-that our young friend C. E. ?MTBUS has become associated with Mr. L. G. PATE, under the name of PATE & STUBBS, aud will continue the business, and that Mr. G. E. TAYLOU, will indi? vidually continue as the special agent of Geo. W. Williams & Co. Our very best wishes attend all concerned. REMEMBER, That thero are but two sides to the contest now raging in this State. It is honesty against dishonesty. No man eau disparage one side without helping thc other. No honest man can be neu? tral, because his very neutrality is cn. couragement and countenance to dis? honesty aud adds one to Scott's vote. WE CAN WIN I North Carolina not only overcame a majority against her of twenty thousand, tacked by Holden's armed militia, held ?fl tcrrorcm over the State, but redeemed herself by a handsome majority-from ten to fifteen thousand-making a ohangc of between thirty and forty thousand votes. One-half this chango, (if every mau who is opposed to tho present cor. rupt ring will vote) will carry South Carolina ! Will tho peoplo do their duty ? We call upon them, in the name of everything that is honest, and that is dear to thom, to put aside their pre? judices and go to work. Theory is worth but little, unless it can ex vf,n !*. own rhonomeiift ; and it must effeot his without contradicting Itsolf; tboreforo, tho hots are sometimes assimilated to tho theory, Miher than the theory to the faots. Suoh has '??n fully demonstrated in the past history of los perfoot cures effected by the use or tbs "Old parolina Bitters," whiob bas become the only ro? uble remedy for roissmatlo complaints, fevers ???ci, ?to , in the South. ' Bate, Kure, Reliablo, is Wlneman's Worm Candy, ' PROCRASTINATION IS THE THIEF OF f?ME," tboreforo you who are afflicted with V*9i'*I'sia, Indigestion and loss of nppoiito, ATL*7 not, but uko Sumter Hitters and be curred. The lift two week* bu witnessed a> change of sentiment among our people, in favor of the eauditatee of the Reform Party, which surpasses, jo ?o brief a period of time, even oar mott hopeful expectations. Wo eaid in a late iaaue, that our people were true at steel. We knew of whom we spoke. The great heart of our white people ia being stirred, and they are coming np to the .apport bf CARPENTER and BUTLER tn .olid phalanx. .Here aid thora only a dissenting voice is heard, except among, the avowed white Radical*, who are few io numbers. We have cheering account?, too, from the colored people io various parts of the country. Many of them, we are told, are dissatisfied with their present leaders, and desire a change. They have, not realized aqy of the expectations that have been excited in them-they begin to feel the weight of taxation-they eoe their masters with pockets full, and rolling in wealth, whilst their little all is taxed, and the last dollar dragged out of their pockets to pay it. If our people but do their doty, the oolorod man will not long be separated from us in feeling, as he is not now iu interest. . VINDICATION. Ur Editor .-In reply to "Sumter's" communication-in answer to hil nu? merous persecutors-published in your issac of the 3d, we shall condemn him out of his own mouth, or at least defeat him by his own statements. He seems to have an extreme aversion to the strong, concise, and venerable tongue of the old Romans. Appears to esteem ita mystery,and one, too, in close alliance with the black aot. Now we con? fess that although by no means inolined to be boastful of our scholarship, we yet do not look apon the Latin language in the same light as we would view thc hieroglyphics of anoient Egypt, and so far from regarding it as having any? thing to do with darkness, in any shape or shade, we on the oontrary believe it to be a great medium of light, and have seen it, when eorreotly used, irradiate an entire page with "one flashing line of light." Wc presume that "Sumter," notwith? standing his disrelish for Latin, will not objeet to our making use of a La ti o ism, which, from frequent application, has almost becomo an Anglicism. We allude to the term "non sequitur." Does "Sumter" know the meaning of that expression ? If not, we shall at once proceed to point out to him wherein it consists. He shall surely realize thal "Ex ante cedentibus et consequenti bus fit optima interpretation "Sumter" advises us to go to the histor! oal record, and iuforms us that wi shall thero find it an invariable rule that "social equality has always boer conceded before political." He adducei the status of the Poles, Hungarians Irish, and last but not least the Jews, io proof of said rule, whioh he laysdowi as a premise, and from which he arrivei at the lame and impotent conclusion that the negro will necessarily an? forthwith attain social equality so soot as we recognize the fact that ho i already imbued with political equality If this conclusion be not a "non sequi tur" from that premise, then we ar igooiant of the meaning of the term First. What conceivable analog, can there be between any of the abovi mentioned races and the African ? W have always regarded them as branche of tho great Caucasian tree. Tko Poles were certainly entitled t ?sooial equality with their conqueror! being not only pure blooded Caucasian! but also one of tb? most aristocrat! peoples of the continent. Some among the Jewish race can als boadt of their lineage, besides bavin enjoyed as a race, a national mon training and education, such as no oth< antique Caucasian tribe can lay olaii to. Can "Sumter" pretond to say th he has been comparing "like things t like ?" Secondly. "Sumter" has made tl oracle of history prove too much fi his case. Ile makes it say that sooi equality preoedes political ; wheres granting for the sake of argument thi his historical analogy holds, and wh is the faot, so far es the negro South Carolina is concerned. It is that he has not on had political equality, but has luxariati in political supremacy, for at least ti years past j and "SunV.e?" hims? says that ho has not yet enjoyed soci equality even with Radicals, who ha no social status to lose. Docs "Sumte still consider bis analogy appropriate As to the theories contained in 1 Michelct's "L'Amour," he has view them correctly according to our vie They may sound very well in Frenoh, b are decidedly outre when expressed plain English. We tell "Sumter" plainly, that t evil of sooia1 equality is muoh more I to be inonrred through oar remain i in a state of masterly in aotivity, a as an immediate consequence, p mitting ourselves to be robbed s despoiled of our all, than by rcoogn ing the political privileges whioh ht been conferred upon the black man, a if possible, by so doing, obtain an hon administration, and so save from sp what remains of our substance. Th is no greater leveller theo absolute want, sod thia ir ?ll surely come upon oar poo P1^*!. **. l^?f?^?Hf oon tinae. ,4 M Wot thiuk "Sumter's'? logic of tb? kind sty ltd coercive.

[From the Samtor Nows, Aug. 14.] **A ' DBHieCBAT.? In consideration of thc simplicity of tho writer of a communication in tho Watch ma? who calls himself "A Demoor*t," we will inform him that tho CAPITALS ia our ort iel?, which he quotes, explain, aa we thought to tho dull*at?>ompreho& .ion what wo ment. .We repent thara : "WHAT TB* COCMTRT OWES TO TBS REPUBLICAN PABTY," "At tho close of the lat* war THE TOTAL INDEBTEDNESS OF TUE UNITED STATES WAS ABOUT THREE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS." "THIS IS THE WORK. OF THE REPUBLI? CAN PARTY." That is to say, Mr. "Democrat," the HtpuhH. can Party bar* saddled this enormous debt upon tho country ; and we will add that for every dol? lar of lt which they have paid they have robbed the count ry of at least two. Is "A Democrat" satisfied? The veriest dolt, who can read plain English, will not fail to see, by compar? ing the above, that the matter originally taken from the columns of the Soott organ and published in the editorial columns of the Sumter News, has been so garbled by the JVeios^io its reply, as to make it say and mean an entirely different thing. The head of it is cut off-(the source from whence it was taken)-the bowels and vital principle have been extracted, and the remainder is distorted into a weak fling at the Radical Party. This attempt to shirk the responsi? bility of the publication of the piece, is so exceedingly small, and at the same time so transparent, as soaroely to be worthy the notioe, of an honest DEMOCRAT. jjr-W- The many friend? of Mr. THOMAS HAIR respectfully announce jim as an independent candidate for a soat io tho Logislaturo from Sumter County, and solioit for him tho support of THE CITIZENS.
