To the People of South Carolina: It was referred to tho Stato Central Execu tive Committee, by the late Democratic Con vention, to inquire into the disabilities imposed, by" reason of the war, upon a portion of our people, "restraining them from the exercise of | tho elective franchise in South Carolina, and to publish the conclusion attained, for the information of the people of the Stato. The committee in discharge of that duty, announce that they have examined the subject, and beg to slate: 1. That- no such disabilities now ox ist by or under tlie acts of Oougress, known us the Re construction act, the State having been of ficially declared to be in the Union. 2. That no such disabilities exist under the so-called amendment, known as the fourteenth amendment to tho Constitution of tho United State*, tho disabilities therein expressed hav ing refcreueo to office-holding, and not to votiug. 3. That no such disabilities exist by the so called Stato Constitution of 1868, under which it is claimed that tho State has been recon structed and restored to the Union. 'The''undersigned thcreforo, announce that no such disabilities exist by force of any law, or supposed law, or authority whatever; and they urge their hitherto disfranchised fellow citizens, in every part of the State, to exercise their right to vote at tho coming election for President and Vice-I'rcsidcnt, of which right they have been so long deprived by military power. By order of tho. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. Tho Work to be Done. ? fft'-'i' ?'? ' ' The Democracy of the State are holding Mass Meetings, at which eloquent speeches are made, and much music freights the sum mer breezes. .! These are days of social gather ing, and of good cheer; und they accomplish much, in the great work of campaigning for Soyroobr and Blair. They stir up the listless and idle, they stimulate afresh the activity of | working men, and they impress, moro than one would at first imagine, the class in our midst, who are delighted with pomp, and dis play^ But wo must guard against a very serious error in this regard. All this speech-making, bdirbcouing, marching in procession, etc., is but tho SURFACE WORK of the campaign ; and it amounts to nothing, if not preceded uud suc ceeded by earnest work pf< a different kind. Every man in the community must work NOW, "day in and day^out," and must not depend altogether upon public harangues, however cloqueut they may bo. if we accomplish great yo.'iulis, we must do it mainly by the action of intljvltlnals upon individuals,?"hero a little, nnd thoro a lUth>/\ y?e donH citro to hear of D.qiupcratio gains of.j.irgo numbers at a timo; because theso conversions may be the results'1 of mere momentary impulses, and if ?Q .will will not bo lasting. But we want to lonrn of RadTolfts'komifr'g o'vorj'ono at a timo, calmly unddtliberalcly. We want to hear of ncc-s ifljpns p/r ptJQ'.or.two this week, and one or two next, to cash (dub in tb,e District's and we Will feel confident that these accessions will be pormaae'nb. A* for any other accession's save ' thojo that will be permanent and relia ble, we don't want to boar of them. They load us into false calculations^ and do more harm than good. As rogards our section of South Carolina, we have roaSptJ to b? hopeful of tho future. In November, wo vote for PrcsidjMjjyl^l^ aud for member of Congress. Tho^eni Anderson, By ul fbrrtV^l'be\iJp^ ington, Ornngcburg, Newberrj and Richlnndj Of these, four will give Demoerntie majorities. In Orungoburg wo can reduce the Radical tun 'jority a* great doldTWo'are' kmndeWthat W arb within bounds, when wo say,; that thoro are 400 white voters iu this District, who did' not vote in tho last two elections. Add to this, the number of illegal, Radical votes cast, amounting to at least 250j and we have al ready a considerable chr.ngo iu the relative strength of the two partic'sV' What wo desire to impress upon our renders? is this. Each man ought to be, pot only a roter, but a iro?/rer. .Early and lato, his heart ought to he in the glorious cause of the Demo cratic Party. He: should.stir,up his neighbors; he should ndvi*o his ? employees ;? ho should regularly attend meetings of his club; he should cheerfully and faithfully porform any duty assigned him; and he should give as liborally of his means, as he can afford to do. Above all, ho should never despair of the cause, how dark soever the signs of the times ; butshould bo hopeful in the gloomiest hour, and watchful iu the brightest. We shall roap, if j wo faint not. The Mnino Election. Ou last Monday. Maine went Republican by a majority variously estimated from 17000 to 22000. This is no surprise. The Eastern States will probably nil givo their votes for the Republican Ticket in the Presidential election except Connecticut. In comparison with provioua, votes, this shows but little change in the relative strength of the t wo parties in Maiue. In 1860, the majority for Lincoln over nil the other candi dates combined, including Bell, was 27,704: over the Democratic candidate, his majority was 29,750. Iu 1864, Lincoln's majority over McClcllan was 21,122. The voice of the Democracy will soon be uttered in the great Central States; and will be tho true voice of the American people. Bev. W. G. Connor. We clip the following from the ChrUtian Neighbor published at Columbia, S. C.: From the Texas Advocate, of August 20. wo loam that Rev. W. G. Connor, of the South Carolina Conference, takes, or has taken the Superintcndcncy of Chapel Hill Female College, the first Monday in this month. While we regret Bro. C's separation from us as a beloved and worthy member of the Con ference, wo hope that his lot and labors in Texas may be pleasant and profitable to him self and his, to them and theirs, and, above all, advance the interests of Christianity. May the presence of the Holy One go with and keep his servant. What Mr. Lincoln Thought of Them. We clip the following from tho Wilmington, N- C. Morning Slur: "As the carpet-baggers profess the deepest reverence for tho memory of Abraham Liucoln and tho highest respect for his opinions, wo bog leavo most respectful ly to call thcit uttcntion to tho following ex tract from one of his letters. Under date of | November 21, 1863, Mr. Lincoln wrote as fol lows" : Dear Sin; Dr. Kennedy, bearer of this, has some apprehension that Federal officers, not citizens of Louisiana, may be set up ob candidates for Congress in that State. In my view there could be no possible object to such elcctiou. We do not particularly need mem bers of Congress from those, States to enable us to get along with legislation here, What wo do want is conclusive evidence that res pectable citizens of Louisiana are willing to be members of Congress, and to swear support to tho Constitution; aud that other respectable citizens there, are willing to vote for them. To scud a parcel of Northern men here as Representatives, elected, as they would be understood, (and, perhaps, really so,) at the point of tho bayonet, would be disgraceful and Outrageous; and were I a member of Congress' then, I would vote against admit ting any such man to a scat." There is no doubt whatever as to the genuinoncss of the above extract, and we commend it to tho careful and'1 reverential perusal, of all the oarpct-boggcrs. a ?"? ?I , j [communicated/] .BnANcrivii.i.e, SVC.. .Sent ember 12, 1868.

Eight large pities, among tho most important on the South Pacific coast, have ceased to exist. Many more cities are reported to have been more or less a flee ted. and the effects of the shock wero ex perienced at many points northward from Ari ca to Callao, a distance of about G50 miles, and southward to Cobija, a distance of about 280 miles. We can get soino idea of the ex tent of the devastation caused, by imagining the whole coast of the Atlantic, from New York to Charleston, to bo first laid in ruins by the upheaval of the ground, and then inunda ted by an oceau wave from thirty to sevonty foet high and next by supposing this calamity to bo followed at an interval of three days by another shock, which should prostrate one-half of tho buildings in Georgia and the Carolinas. It is computed that 300,000 persons aro home loss and wandering throughout Peru, destitute of shelter and food. The number of lives lost is calculated as extending from 30,000 to GO,* 000. Singular* Incident. In a recent speech at Buffalo, N. Y., Hon. John T. Hoffman declared that "the day of the sword is passed," and related the follow "An incident occurred at the meeting of the National Convention which was ?.n omen. Thut grand hall where the Convention met was full of patriotic men. Upon its walls were placed the shields of thirty-sevon States, and around every shield was the American flag. Upon the platform stood two bronze statuettes of noble soldiers, one leaning upon a great bronze sword. The Convention had been in session for several days; ballot after ballot had been token. First one was up and then another, aud at last a gallant General, whoso name has never' been mentioned anywhere save with respect?I mean General Hancock. No man knew whether on tho next ballot he was or was not to be chosen. Everything was uncertain, when suddenly the great bronzed SWOrd la tho hand of ttmt noble- ntninc anefK ped asunder at the hilt. It was not touched by mortal hands?no human agency broke its. Somo mysterious, invisible, and irresistible power snapped it at tho hilt, and the word went forth that the country was henceforth to have a statesman and not a soldier for a leader." [Tremendous cheering.] Letter From Gen. Forrest. The following is a copy of Gon. Forrest's letter to the correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial: MKMPOIS, September 3, 18G8. v I have just received your letter in the Commercial, giving a report of our conversa tion on Friday last. I do not think you would intentionally misrepresent mo, but you have done so, and I suppose because you misun derstood my meaning. The portions of your letter to which I object arc corrected in the following paragraphs: I promised the Legis lature my personal influence and nid in maintaining order and enforcing the laws. I havo never advised tho people to resist any law, but to submit to the laws until they can be corrected by lawful legislation. I said the militia bill would occasion no trouble unless they violated the law by carrying out the Governor's proclamation, which I believed to be unconstitutional and in violation of the law, shooting down men without a trial, as recom mended by that proclamation, I said it was foported?and I believed the report? that there are 40,000 Ku-Klux in Tennessee, atfd I believed the organization was stronger in the othor States. I meant, simply, when I said tho Ka-Klax recognize tho Federal Govern ment, that they would obey all State law?, ??d that they rocognize all laws and will obey them, so I have been informed, in protecting peaceable citizens from oppression from any quarter. I djd not say that every man's house Was picketed, and I did not, mean to convey the idea that I would raise any troops, more than that no mm could do it in five days, even if they were organized. I said that Gen. Grant was at Holly Springs, and not Corinth, I said the charge against him was false. I did not utter the* Word "liar." I cannot consent to remain silent in the matter, for if I did so, under an incorrect impression of iny personal viows, I might be looked upon as one desiring a conflict; When, in truth, I am so adverse to anything of the kind, that I will make any honorable sacrifice to avoid it. Hoping that I may havo thir explanation placed before your rotrdW, I remain, very respectfully. N. B. FORREST, - mm ' mmm i - Tho senatorial term of Hon. Jennys A . Hsy ard; of Delaware, will expire on the 4th of next March. The Wilmington- RcbnblteniY says : "The oWof aspirants for tho place are Thomas F. Bayai\\ Sorr of the proyent senator, and Governor Saulsbury." Hon. Thomas Ewing of phio,<;>rho .was .n mombpr of General Harrison's' Cabinet, and hrts lohg been u distinguished leader of first tho Whig and then the Republican party, though latterly ho has .been one of the President's supporters, is out in an able letter reviewing tho situation and touohing the duty of the un pledged voters. He has arrived at the con clusion stated in the following paragraph.: "But I must hasten to ' a close. Until re cently I had intended to support Gen. Grant , for the Presidency, aud would do so still, in the hopo that the Democracy will obtain a majority in the House of Representatives, and thus hold a restraining power ; but fuels which I have shown above render it impossible. Bad men with more intellect and more force of character than himself have possession of him, and if he be elected President will, pro bably, continue to rule him, and the country with him; and some of tho worst existing abuses cannot be corrected against Executive opposition. In looking over the whole ground most carefully, and weighing consequences well, I have come to tho conclusion that it were bet tor that the Domoeracy prevail in the coming election, and thus divide, for the present, the legislative, while we restore tho executivo and judicial powers. No evil can ensue. We shall have a season of repose and time for reflection before called on again to not. Thoro is pro found philosophy in the old Scotch proverb : "Tho showers fall H?ft when the wind in still." Mixture of Races.?Agussiz, in his late ly published work on Brazil, bos the following on the mixture of races : "Let any one who doubts tho evil of this mixture of races, and is inclined, from a mis taken philanthrogy, to break down the barriers between them, come to Brazil. He cannot deny the deterioration consequent upon au amalgamation of races more widespread here thau in any other country in tho world, and which is rapidly effacing tho best qualities of the white maa, the negro and the Indian, leaving a mongrel nondescript type, deficient in physi cal and mental energy. At a time when the new social status of the negro is a subject of vital importance in our statesmanship, we should profit by the experience of a country where, though slavery exists, there is far more liberality towards the free negro than he ever enjoyed in the United States. Let us learn tho double lesson, open all tho advan tages of education to the negro, and give him every chance of success which culture gives to the man who knows how to use it; but respect the laws of nature, aud let all our dealings with the black man tend to preserve, as far as possible, the distinctness of his national char uctciistic, and the integrity of our own." The Democratic State Central Committee of Missouri havo issued an address to the people of that State, in which they protest against the infamous attempts which arc being made to deter qualified persons from registering as voters under the law. In the name of the Missouri Democracy, they say, "we.declare that the only purpose of the party is to secure a fair and impartial registration of the people uudor tho Registration law. That done, the Democratic party will abide tho poople's will, lawfully expressed at the ballot box. But the people uro assured that 'as the laws protect us while we sleep,' with them we will make com mon cause against all usurpations designed to defeat the will of tho people, lawfully ex pressed. To that end we recommend to ull persons to report every violation of law result ing in their rejectiou, as voters, to these head quarters, aud such reports will be considered and receive necessary attention, without any costs to the party aggrieved." ?????<-?-????

Affairs in Tennessee are growing worse and worse.

A crisis is certainly approaching in Tennessee, and when it comes, there will be hot work on both sides. It might be averted | by nil the white Conservatives leaving the State and surrendering their property to the blacks and scalawags* but wo think they are not likely to do this., They are more inclined to stand their ground and protect themselves, and perhaps they* are right, though it may not be loyal tu s:iy so.
