THE .FAIRFIED HERALD WINNSBORO, S. C. Wednesday Morniug, Aug. 25, 1869. Despories, Williams & Co., Props The Third ((onservative) Party. The eistenco' of a third party in the Southern . States claiming atten tion and respect by achieving two of he nuoat. sigual victories in Virginia andTen-essqe in the very start of its carqer, lllls the Radials with amaze. moent and chagrin, and seems to puzzle the unpiinblpled and incondtant parti san.now at the bead of the govern "Got so completely, that his indci sion and perplexity would be a most ridiculous farco, but for the fact that his petty malice and perfidious false boo d and meanness may lead him to inflIo6 upon the unfortunate but irre pressible Southern people additional outrage and wrong. Let Grant exact the irop-olad oath, if -he please, and if lo date, of the Virginia Legislature. It will. not destroy this party. He 6uld see the folly of attempting it, bj 6imply glancing across the line, and pondering the reaction in Ten nessee that has sprung of the same short-sighted course. This third par-\ ty is destined to grow. It will gradu ally absorb the Democratic party within it, and infuso the vigor of its now life and progressive spirit into that effete organization. For if the DIemod0ratic party will heed the coun sol of John Quinoy Adams, accept ne gree suffrage as something already forced upon the country, and act upon the issues of the present and the fu. turo, it will have cotno up to the posi tion now held by the third party called a.t prosent the Conservative or Con servative Republican party ; and un less the ballok-box be stuffed in 1872, and the votes be counted by the bayo net-a result that would not surpriso us at all, for there are no constitu tional rights now-it will elect its candidate for the next Presidenoy by a tremendous majority. "The formation of a third party in South Carolina would be the destruc tion of the Republican party." These are not our words, but a quota tion from the late contributions of 'I6 Mackeys to the Charleston pa pers, and it is the burden of their charge that Senator Sawyer favors suUb a party, and is using influence and patronage to create it. Bout well and Creswell and Butler take the same view of the matter as affecting the nation, that the Mackoys do as affecting this State. They soo that it is a party of liberal principles and progressive Ideas. But their fear and their hatred cannot provent its growth nor long postpone its triumph, for it is 6he party of domestic peace and national progress, which it is the inter est of all, whether wvhite or black, earnestly to support, since peace and progress will bring contentment, pros perity and liberty to all. This is the party for which we are willing to work. 'tho Columbia Phcrnix having mis represented our position, may publish this. The Columbia Phenix and the Winnsboro News. +The Columbia Phanix gets off the following amusing piece of pleasantry upon us: "The Winnsboro Nuws, of the 12th, announces Its determination to ac6, hereafter, witha that party--oall it. what vou please-that elected Walk er in Virginia, Sontor in Tennessee. 'We must mount the horse,' says the News'to control the reins." Lot us suggest to our friend that he delay to mount, for two reasons : first, the uncertain character of the steed;i sec ond, the possibility of his being thrown. We have not yet decided ex actly iwhat klind of horse that was. In the theantimo, we remain shy. But is not liberal'Democracy a better eharger than .'liberal Republican ism f' This we suggest as food for thought." Wo care, in reply, very little about *hQ name, but it is the thing intended to which we wish to call attention. We have thoroughly examined "the horse," and will risk being thrown. Ito is a young horse, whose appear. ance on the course has been long fore seon by us, but *o have purposely do fors~d callidg attention to his supe $lor vI1nttle and, valuable working qitalities, until the Virginia and Ten ne5ede tietomios that ho has so gloei lywon, *ould rallow,the Democrat ,eqnd of South Carolina to bear qft .fd listen respeetfully to our best thouht.s on subjects which an ae. dietkli oda sid compels us to take ~m~td' prdtesion of teaching it pnIjer and discuss.

C The Columbia Phcnix,1 i$,.ibaI A hithetto, except atintervals,, .born 1 the palm for insipidity and duilness, A and boon a disgraoe to the Capital, has of late fallen into the hands of an enterprising editor who I proposes, it sooms, to make it inter- 9 esting by moisrepresentation. None i who may have read its comments up- I on our editorial on suffrage brought I out by the article from the Washing- t ton Republicatr, which wo published in i full, and which ought to be republish. i ad by the .Phoaniz again and again I for the benfit of "the Conservatives I of the State," could get a fair idea of our position, which the Phanix terms our "new alliance" with the Republi. 1 can. In the aano issue,tho Phwniz mis reproselnts the position of the Wash ington Republican, and loses, by so doing, a card that would bring many a black man over to "the conserva- I tives of the State." "The conservatives of the State I" Where does the Pniz hope to place itself by this convenient phrase I What- does it moan I It proclaims, in the same misrepresenting issue, that "it is too early for native politi cal movement," and it prefers to have I .no position 'till some indofinite future time. This strikos-us as an uncom fortable poise on the feneo. While chiding us for favoring a third party. 1 which, in order that the negroes may understand its nature, we prefer to be called the Conservative Republican party, for the negroes will not voto for the defunct and heartily detested Democratic party, wl-at does the Phwnix mean by its words of promise, and its dissausion from active work, addresded to "the Conservatives of the State I" The Phenix is attempt. ing the calm and philosophic. Its cogitations survey both Rides of the fence. It evidently waits to follow, and dares not lead. Let our readers judge of the fair. ness of the Phmnix for themselves. We quoto: The Winnsboro Nzws of the 17th, states that it regards this as a fixed fact, to wit: that we have now a Gov ernment, both State and national, of the majority-whose will is law, and that its efforts, therefore, will be to make that majority as wise and virtu ons as possible. It proposes to put the majority at once to school, and the first lesson that it wants to teach the Republican party, is to have saia par ty aidpt an eilinatinnal test in the matter (of asaffrago. The advice of the NEWs is good, but we fear that it does not yet command the confidence of Its now alliance sufficiently to have its coinsel accepted. In reply, we do hold, that govern mont by constitutional chocks and balances has passed away, and that government by the majority has been substituted for it, and that to make that majority as wvise and virtuous as Fessible is the only true statesman-i sh iploft us. But Government by the majority is not necessarily govern ment forever by the present majority of Radical destructivos. On the con trary, the present majority is sure to lose seome of its members under the guidance of such observers of the times as ourselvos, especially if other radi cal organs give us as good opportuni-I ties to make a persuasive point as the Washington Republican~ of last week on education the limit of suffrage ; and thou the third party,-the Libor als of Tennessee, the Conservative Republicans of Virginia, the anti Bitter-onders of MississIppi-will be come the majority, and helir will will become the law. This third party will l be supported by many republicans now repelled by the old democratic1 party, under its old baocs as lead ers, and swamping both the names and the dead issues of the Democratico party, will become the majority-par ty. The only kind of government in this country now is the one whioh the Phuene wouldn't have, but has had fori four years, and will have to grin and take for years to come-simple ma jority-government. Grant unoon sciously stated a great truth, the real, triumphant, American, Radical, Do mooratic, antl-republioani idea, wheit he wrote, ini the Johnson-Stanton Im broglio,--"The will of the majority should be the law of the land."' It may develope into imperialsm. But aI fact Is a fact, let thoso make fun of it, who can. Wiso men will heed it, and guide their policy by Its light.

A DititwrE PRizE FiGHT BE; rHESN GALLAGHER AND ALL.N..-&. Coue; August 17.-A diegracdful'and arutal priev4ght took' pmoe t3day between th "bruisers" Gallagher and Allen, resulting in favor of the latter )n the ninth roiund. Toin Kelly and ,ed O'Baldwin were spoonds . for Gal. lagher, and Jim .Ooynn and Bud Ri. lcy for Allen. Larry Wessel was re 'eree. The ring was formed in. a grove, but the sun poured in fiercely. Will Kearney was ringmaster, and -wenty ringkeepers were appointed to preserve oader. The fight began at 1.40. In the first round Allen was knoek. ad down, and-blod freely. He was xlso knocked down onx the second round. In the third round both .re* seived and gave heavy blows termi. ]ating in a Olinoh, in . whiofh Allen went down. At this pint several alubs were thrown at Allen, one of which struck him on the cheek, oaus ing the blood to flow. In the fourth roupd more turrido blowa wero given )n both sides, terminating in Allen's favor. The fifh round was favorable to Allen, although he was knooked >ver the ropes. In the sixth round 4allagher was a little slow in coming tap, andgrecoived two very heavy blows )a the nose, and others on the breast md back, and although Allen went lown at the close, Gallagher got the worst of the round. Tihe seventh, )igth, and ninth rounds were all favor Lble to Allen, and on the termination >f the latter the sponge was thrown ip and Allen declared the viotor. Phe fight was short, but it is said to ave been very desparate. Both of he men are badly punished.

It will be remembered that Dr. T. B. Li.. n denounced Dr. I. F, Michel, d supported his denunciation in part by the tia:mony of Dr, J. F. Johnston. In return, Dr."Michel paid no attention to Dr. Ligon, but denied the stato~nent of Dr. Johnson. In response, Dr. Johnson refused to coninder' Dr Ml chel's denunciations until Dr. M. should purge himself of the charges made against him by Dr. Ligon. At this point the newspaper discussion properly stopped. Dr. Michel, through his friend, Dr. Bruns, of New Orleans, (who,-in connection with Paul HI. Hayne, of An. gusta, Ga., were acting as ftends of Dr. M.), on Monday challenged Dr. John ston. We leairn from. a street rumor that Dr. Johnson deoliied a challenge from Dr. Michel on the same ground upon which he- refused to notice Dr. -M.'s card, naiiely, because he consider ed that Dr. U. had not.purged himself of the charges made in Dr. Ligon's card. Upon this declension, it became the du ty of Dr. BruTis, the friend of Dr. Mi chel, to take the place of thep-.principal. Dr. Jbhnston accepled the chalenge of Dr. Bruns.. Dr. Bruns and his friends left West Point on the Monday evening adcom modation train. Dr. Johnson and his friends took earrinags early yesterday morning for the purpose of getting on the West.point train at a distance from the city, in order to escape observation as much-as possible. F~ortunately (we say fortunately, because no cause of quarrel existed between Drs. Johnston and Bruns), the officers of the law got wind of the anticipated duel. Depue.y Sheriff T. J. Scott and his assistants left Montgomery on the yesterday morn. ing's train, and arroated the party of Dr. Johnston's as they got on the cars The arrested partv were bound over in heavy honds to keep the peace.

Nicr, OF FgAxAe.-A cable dispatch from Paria, announces the decetase of Marshal Adolphe Neil, of France, one of the most. prominent military men and states. men of the Empire. His name revels his origin. oQt an Irishman himself, he is neverth1de0 an Irishman by near descent. -i is te latest instance of the peculiar aptitude of the Irish for military aaire. Marehall Neil was born in Mu(t,- in 1802. He entered the PolytechnicSchool of Paris in 1821 and the Militari Academy of Metz in 1823, and cornrienned his military ca reer in 1826 as.ai second ieutenant of engineers. In 1826,-7 he distinguished hinself in the.txpdition against Con stanti4q iO Algfma, and was promoted, October 25th,-:1837, to command the corps of engineers ip that province. On his return to F4rance he gained distinc tim as a miliary engineer, nnd was appointed colonal in 1840. In 1846 he accompanied Gdneral Vailant in an ex pepedition to Rbmine. He becam.e gene, ral of division in 1853; co'mmanded in 1854 the siege operations against Bo marson, and i (1 855 was appointed ad jutant to Napoldon III., and was em ployed at the siege of Suebastopol. In 1857 lie became a member of the French Senate jim 1860 he took a prominent part in the Italian campaign, and decided by the skillful operation, of the artillery under his cmmand the victory of Solfeiito, after which lie was made a Marshal of' France.

The policy, of absolute and entire repudiation is likely to pre. vail in the West at no distant day. The half way projects urged by Mr. Pendle.. ton and others do not meet.the present views either of tax payers or iontax payers. Senator Sherman has thought 4 that his pending scheme would appease the Western clamor against the debt But he will firid it to be useless. The people care nothing about the deduction of the rate of interest proposed by Sena. tor Sherman. They are against paying any interest. .

An explorer named-Cameron is con fident that there exists, in a remote part of Borneo, a race of men withtsils, and he is going oian expedition to inveart gate the matter. *He also states, confi dently, that far away in the interior of Afrier, a similar race of men is known I to exist. More than twenty years ago, Du Couret, a well known French trav eler in Africa discovered, in a central part of that continent, the existence of a race called the Niams-Nians, or men with tails; and -the evidences laid him I before certain scientific-bodies in IParis were deemed to be conclusive on the subject. It will be interesting to trace I the further developments of this matter, since the discovery of the link betweent man and brute will tend to reinforce the s Darwinian theory of' species. besides a throwing light on tho natural history of the negro. . . .
