The People Un/ed to Maintain the Organization of the Party, and Prepare, la/ Trait.inj and Discussion for the Com* jitcx Issues of the Future. Rooms of tub State A Democratic Executive Committer, > Columbia, S. C. November 22, 1882. ) To the People of the State: The State Democratic Committee congratulate the people of South Carolina on the success which attended the ellorts of the Democratic party to elect their candidates, and preserve intelligent, just and economical rule in the State. It is especially gratifying to the committee to know that peace reigned throughout the State on election day, and that the conduct of the election, under the stringent provisions of wise laws, is unassailcd atid unassailable. With the excep tion of a single county, where the Democrats placed no candidates in the field, the whole Slate is in Democratic bauds, and six oi the seven Congressmen are the regular candidates of the Democratic party. There is undoubted cause for rejoicing in such a triumph as this, especially as, for the firs? time since 1870,a determined endeavor was made to defeat the Democratic party by joining the labors of a lew malcontent whites to the votes of the ignoraut and prejudiced negroes. The political campaign on the p irtof our opponents was marked by vulgar virulence, and by unscrupulous vituperation of the most eminent men in the State. The whole Democratic party was arraigned and condemned for imaginary misconduct; audit was broadly asserted, in defiance of the facts or in ignorance of the condition and the needs of the State, tlirt the litne had come when the D.moeracy should bo removed from power, and he succeeded by the combination ot contradictory elements which, animated by the expectation of pubi: . - i l - i....I .... l .? i - - i uu |'iuiiiu i, u.iu uniii'ii.rfni iu ujijiusc ana Jo loaf tl.o Democratic party. The most shameful part of the whole husiuess is that the officers ol the Federal Government, who are appointed for the pub lie service and whose wages are paid by the people, gave unhesitatng, unremitting and unscrupulous support to t be an ti-Democratic candida os. The election fund which was raise?l by assessments upon the tens of thousands of persons i i the Government service was used liocly in South Carolina The demagogues, who pitted themselves against the candidates of the Democratic p ?r*y; wtife sustained at all points by the officers of the United States Government, and by the money iilehed from the lean pockets ol Government clerks?whether poor or wclNto do, whether men or women ? in every part of'lie country. Great as ilie difficulties of the p Jiticnl situation were, the Democracy h ive elected their candidates as the lawful and legitimate result of a just administration, wise nominations and liberal principles. It is also a welcome fact that the manner in which Federal patronage has been abused is admitted to have had much to do with the political revolution in the North and West at the November flection. The State Committee, however, cannot be uumimllul of the circumstance that there i? in the plenitude of our strength an element of weakness, and that the party should prepare in tiuie for a contest that will he more severe than that through which the Democracy have passed. The platform of the Democratic party adopted in the State Convention last August announces, in general terms, the principles which should be the rule of our political action and conduct. The Democracy in that platform demand economy with efficiency in the conduct of the (iovcrnmcnt, popular education as the bulwark of free institutions, honest home rule, fair trials by impartial juries, reform of the civil service, the prohibition of assessments upon the public servants, for political purposes, for any reason and in any disguise, a reduction of the duties on imports, and the sacred maintenance of the public credit, National and State. Here is the chart for our guidance, and if our path he illumined by the declaration that what we most desire is "justice and equality in the State, so as to ........... i. ............ .....t ,,....,1 ,..;n i,.,?......... races," and iliat what wo look to and work for is an "indissoluble I nion of indestrucliblo Stiitos," wo cannot go a>;ray and shall bo proud of our position as Democrats and as members of the party which represents '.he great principles of American progrc s. die Democratic party is the soul of action. 1 has confidence in man and an abiding re ;unee in his high destiny. It seeks the largest liberty, the greatest good. Its object is to build up the great interests of the man to the least detriment of the few. I. ' without neglecting the ircscnt. It estahti. "s the present witlu ,t failing to provide ' the future It cans for the weak and pernii.' no injustice t the strong. It is the pwuocr of huma ity and the conservator of na Vuis. It I'd only win 11 it ceases to he trrn^to itself. We recall here the essential principles o Democratic faith as declared by Thomri .Jefferson eighty years ago : "Krjual and exact justice to all men, of I . . ! : wnaicvcr siato or persuasion, religious i r political ; peace, I'oiiiineioo, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alii? iinees with none; the support of the State Governments in all their rights, as the most competent administrations lor our domestic concerns, and the surest bulwarks against anti Republican tendencies, the preservation of the General Government in its whole Constitutional vigor as the sheet-anchor of our peace at home an I safety abroad ; a jealous euro of the right of election hy the people, a mild and safe t^.nvctive of abuses which are 1 >pp"d l?y lite sword of revolution Wat re peaceable r air tlies are unprovid d ; absolute aeouie-e uee in the decisions of th ' majority?the vit >1 principle of republic-. from whi'dt thevo is no appeal but te? force, the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism; a well disciplined militia, our best reliance in peace and for the first moments of war, till lobulars may relieve them ; the supremacy of the civil over the military authority ; economy in the public expense, that labor may be lightly burdened ; the honest payment of our deb s and sacred preservation of the public faith ; encouragement of agriculture arid of commerce, as its handmaid ; the diffusion of information, and arraignment of all abuses :it the bar ol the public reason ; freedom of religion ; freedom of the press ; and freedom of person under the protection of the habeas corpus ; and trial by juries impartially selected. These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution an 1 reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should ho the creed of our political faith, the text of civil instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should e wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to'rotrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty and safety." A more forcible cxp >sition of Democratic principles is no where to be found. Whenever and wherever thov have been the guide of the party the party has boon successful, and its success has been honorable to itselfand useful and advantageous to the country. In the judgment of the State committee, the active organization of the party in this State should he continued, in order that the Democratic clubs may be in full vigor when the time shall come for entering up >n a new political campaign. The Democratic clubs can now he made politicial schools, so to speak, in which the pr neiplos of the Democratic party in their practical application shall be taught and explained. A genera tion of S ih Carolinians lias grown up since tlie secession of this State, an I those \v!i > had not seen the light when tlie firstgun oi' the war was lirod in Charleston H ub >r are now of full age and capable of casting theirj.votc at populai elections. They have grown up in the midst of turmoil and excitement. War was their cradle, reconstruction their nursery, revolution the attendant of their early youth. For them, as for many who are older, the name of I>emocrat has no special significance, beyond its local and limited meaning as tlie designation of those who possess the intelligence, the experience and the nroperty in the State. It is indispensable to tlie w6ffare of the Democratic party in South Car oliua anu a paramount necessity for the maintenance oI' good government, that the young people of the State, and tlie older men besides, shall become familar with the Democratic faith as taught by the Fathers of the Republic, and shall see in the Democrat io party souu lhiiu nioicthau an agency for preventing misrule and for securing decent government in the State, 'i he v>hole neople sliould be made to understand (hat only by the assertion and supremacy of Democratic principles can the liiiteil States be maintained as the II. public of llepublics. and that only through and by the Democratic party, which lias been from the be gin ling the party'of the people, can republican institutions in their lull vigor ami efficiency bo maintained and preserved. There are many complex tp.icstions that must be decided by the people at the next election and the next, ami it is needful that the people shall pass upon them deliberately and intelligently. The State Committee hope, therefore, that the 1 >en.oeratie clubs hruu bout the State will he made a means of instructing the people, so that every good voter, by the discussions in which he shall participate and the expositions he shall hear, will be instrue'ed as to his own rights and the rights of his neighbor, his obligation to himself and those around hint, bis duties to the State, and his doty to the I 'nimi which our fa hers in the original. 1 hirtecn States formed and cent-nted with their blood ? tin; I nion which, under Democratic guidance, shall be the home of liberty and of pi ogress and of comfort lor all those who by birth or by choice, have the privilege to be called Americans and freemen. ?J aMi;s F.

Throughout the I * 11 ion there are eaten ?7?"i,000,000 worth of eggs each year. The improvements achieved in imparting perm uieuce to that freshness which is one of the essential attributes of the egg to urike it marketable are certainly iugeuious. The recently invented process of crystallization is one of the tn >st curious mctho Is ofguarding against this blight of staleness. Uy its agency the natural egg is changed into an auiber-huod vitreous substance, which, while reduced in bulk, lias imparted to it the property of rem lining in edible condition for years and resisting the deteriorating effects of climate. What is more singular than this is that when thus treated the eggs can bo transported to any place without injury, and eau afterward be restored to their orgiuul condition when desirable by adding the water which has been artificially removed from t ie shell.? This simple process is called "desiccating," and the principal companies engaged in thus preparing eggs are situated in New York and St. Louis. It is said that neither salt nor cxtraueous matter is employed in producing "desiccation." The egg is merely reduced, by the removal of the water, to a cansolid ited mass of yolk :ml album en.?

It is a custom of souio unscrupulous dealers to palm these 'Tuned"' eggs off ou purchasers as "fresh country eggs," and it can bo done with ease and sueeoss. In the "desiccating" process such fraud is iai? possible, for the very sufficient reason that an egg that is tainted, even though it be ever so slightly, cannot be crystalized at all.

The question at issue between the two governments is the same that has kept South America Stales in a condition of turmoil throughout the greater part of their ex.steiiee. It is aquesti on of boundary. There j is a large tract of territory called "the . Missions," which has been held practically , by the Argentine Confederation lor a great many years. Brazil lias set up a claim , which Las never been abandoned, that tlits territory is j art of its p sessions. The cause oft he controversy is a confusion in the nunc of two rivers. There are two streams called by the same name, one of which is south of the disputed territory and the other north. The Argentines claim that the northern riv r is the boundary line and Brazil claims that it is the southern. It is reported that the nations t:rc putting their armies on a war foothing and are purchasing war vessels in I'higland with a view to pending hostilities, which may commence at any time. 11 is understood that the good olliees of the American ministers to the respective governments will he proffered, with the view of settling the difficulty without resort to arms. It is notoxpeeted, howevevcr, that their efforts will result in a very long postponement of the war. ? - An Kditoh's Businkss.?

Wiiisti.k ??tlioquestion is now asked why a girl may not whistle quite as touch as a boy. This is followed by tho question why a boy should bo allowed to wh??\le at all. To soino people, ovoa if they b<j food of other kiu Is of uiusic, tho whistle of V^oy is an abomiiutiot^AsJ^ 'tlW llfSlC" for them to conceive of it. Coaip iralively few ?:irls whistle. They hive naturally thought tint if it is thus for the boys it I uiust be quite as bad I'or themselves. As whistlers the boys have generally dene themselves and their art such injustice that whistling as a means of m iking agreeable music, has not commended itself either to their parents or their sisters. A boy practices whistling not as a musical accomplishment, but, for the most part, simply as a means of making a noise. In this he renders himself disagreeable, for noise without music is sold on considered lovely. Tito rcGncmcut of the girl is generally greater than that of the boy. She studies the ait of making herself agreeable, while low brother impudently expresses his lack of care as to whether he is agreeable or not. The girl stops before learning to whittle, and asks whether or not her whistling will make her couipany desirable. Having an idea that it will not. she refrains. The injustice which most boys have done to themselves in the matter of whistling, and which they have also in consequence done the girls, is that they have whistled badly. Often there is 110 more t une in their whistle than if they were whistling to call a lost or missing dog. This kind of whistling is not worth iinitatiu<r. either bv his I o n ! sister or his grandmother. It' the girl engages in it she merely makes herself disagreeable. On the other hand, if a whistlei of either sex whistles a goad tune in a graceful manner the result may be pleasant enough. The whistling machinery is susceptible of culture to a high degree. Those who have doubts as to this will bo convinced oil bearing a trained class of whistlers either boys or girls. There are m my organ pipes which are not nearly as musical as a well executed human whistle. If the girl will whistle well, let her whistle with the largest liberty she chooses to enj >y. There is nothing very demoralizing about it. ? l'ltilmh /j>/ii<i Times. . ? . ? .

No man can vote there unless he pays the State, City or County tax, and unless lie can read the Constitution and write his name on the registration list. This is Republican lawmaking. If a man changes his residence in Huston after May 1, his name is liable to be dropped from the voting list. If he has not paid his poll tax he is disqualified. The collectors will not attempt to force him to pay it until after the registration, when he finds himself disfranchised. Then they will put him in jail if he does not pay, and he loses his vote all thcsauic. T.o number of males of voting age in Massachusetts is 502.(513, and at the election in 1830, the number of votes east was 282,512. More than two thirds of the voting population was disfranchised by the tax and educational qualification. This is worse than in South Carolina, where there is reason for limiting the vote because it is a certain y that the uncontrolled vote of the whole negro population would give tlu State Government to knaves and fools and destroy the people by taxation.
