The grandest politioal deounstrations over vitnessed bore is now in progress in honor of the recent Conservative victory in this State. Railroads and st.coators brought in hundreds of per r: froi other counties. This even ing there is a grand illumination, torch-light procession and bonfires. The whole city is alive with excite mot., cannon firing and the di-play of firc-works. Thoiu ands of persons are in the procession and on the streets, but good order and foelin&~ univera'l. ly prevails. There are n'o motto"., devices and transparenets to give of fence to the ttefcatt l party, nnd everything is oouducod in the most dignitled and conciliatory manner. The speech of Colonel A. M. Wad deli, the Conservative CongreFsman elect, is considered importa n fore. shadowing to some extent the future policy of the Conservative party with regard to the negro. The tviiwing is an extract: "Without presuming to dictate to others, 1 will expresa the hope that one of the first acts of the next Le gislature, which will be largely Con servative, will be a formal deolaration of their ii 'ontion not to disturb the black man in the enjoyment of the rights guaranteed to him by law; that they will restore, if possible, the school fund, of which he, in common with his white follow-citizens, have been robbed, and will pay the debt of universal education, which is duo from the State ; not as the Republi. cans have done, in promises unfulfill ed, but honorably and to the very last farthing of the means at their con mand, and that their whole course will exhibit them as reformers and not as revolutionists." The Negro due to be '{ipcd Out. It is charged that Gov. Scott is en trusted with the special mission from his Northern brethren, of the total destruction of the black race in South Carolin,.-the same as Holden, Bul look and others, in the Southern States. It has leaked out., that Con. gres,, shortly after the close of the war, favored a conflict of races in the South-thereby inking the Southern whites the agents in the destruction of the black race. And it has re cently come to light. that R. K. Scott, Governor of South Carolina, advooat ed this policy to Gon. Wade Hump ton, Iie said to Ocn. Hampton, that "lie was tired of the negroes-that he wished to rid the Stato of them." Scott has sought every opportunity to bring the two races into collision, and having failed up to this time, he has how issue'l arus unid fixed aniniuni tion to the negroes for the purpose of p recipitating thle wicked purposes of his pauurt y,k knowi: g as lie does, that a conflict will result, to the discomfueit, uro and dostruction of the negro race. More, Gov. Scott is well aw-ire of the fatt, that the white poipulation of the state are armed sutfl:ient to meet any attack from the colored peo ple; and the nhites refusing to ac ee :o his wihesu~ in coimmuencing the conflict, accounta for his distribution of armas and ball cartridges amnong the bhe,ks. The plans are well laid by the Northern people. It is not the purpose of the North to sacrifice the wvhitu population of the South, only what is actually necessary in the ex, tinotion of the Afrieanu race. Gov.

Lu iNosToNs:'S 1ATIC.-A letter a be-en re-ceivedu in this city from a troii. lady now s(ojouirning in Syria, whIich assumes to shed some now light on the mysterious destruction of Dr. Livingatone in A friia. The wri.ee made the acqmun:tanicoof Ca1?v in Bur Ion, British Consul at Daumaiset:, a man noted for his travel both :n the New WVorld and the Old. tu m p tion to be well inform,rl as to u he~ trib's of Central A (ica and DJ;.

He was first persuaded, much against his wish, to mnarry a rude and bluster'ing native prineees, and when ho afterwards pro. posed to leave Mrs. Livingtone in order to prosecute stillfurthuer Is to pographical anveigations, hisi fond father,ia law stuch strong objections that he was virt:ually kept a prisoner, and thus it happened that the honeymoon was so outrageouisly prolonged. The Captain says the reason this tact hans never'been made pubil.ic is that the Doctor's friend., fee-ing outrage-d by the trarnsactio,, have succeede'd until recently in keep. ing it secret. The letter adds that *"Captain Burton himself married the handsomest woman in liugland," so that -h,e cnn hardly he moved with eetvy to wards his fellow.traveller, and as he speaks fourteen difTSrent langnages, his ciapatcity for tellin~g the truth would be ~onsiderable--erog poet Julye 20. -The only property R.

WINNSBOROa Wednesday Morning, August 17, 1870. Tuae l3aIIot ftecommenemded in Our Primuary Meetings. A more general resort to the bal lot in our primary meetings, while tending to awaken greater interest in I public affairs, would largely extend the influence of the active few who uow, in our several counties, through picked chairmen and packed commit tees, in fact control them. But the kind of work done by the active few would be changed very much for the better, since it would be obliged to take the form of persuasion and ar gument, rather than that of enunoia tion and explanation. Publie meet ings in our County towns are now l simply enouncements of what a few t men have determined on beforehand, accompanied perhaps by some little 1 courteous explanation. They are not deliberative bodies at all. The Chairman and his Committee are go ing through a farce of deliberation, it it is true, but at soul, they feel indif ference for the remarks or suggestions of outsiders. The consciousness of such a state of things effectually quelle debate, and kills out interest. The speeches, pro or ,con, are flat, and to those in the ring, stale and unpro fitable. The meeting is not called for the purpose of deliberation and deoi slon, but to appoint a delegate,or nomi- I nate a candidate,that some County Tri umvirato have settled on, during their a lunt private consultation, when sitting a in Committee of the Whole upon the 1 State of the Union. It seems to I us absurd to suppose that public spir. it will grow, if this thing continues. 1 It is the nurse of intellectual conceit amongst our loaders, and of intellec tual indolence amongst our people. The remedies are various, and If the blacks will only split their vote in this election, will come naturally enougb,in the speedy formation of two parties, watchful and jealous of individual prominence, except when resulting facom the use of the ballot. The bal. lot will certainly play a leading part in whatever remedy may be hereafter applied, it perhaps, then, would be well to introduce it at once In our primary meetings throughout the State. That the public meetings of Fair field do not now really represent the decisions of the entire intelligence of the County, cian perhaps be in part proved by reference to the fact, that, at the only really large public meeting during the last three yeers, the one in t:,a fahl o,f sixty-eight, the programme of' resolving to employ no laborers thaut might vote for Grant and the lRadical ticket, which that meeting was called to recor d, (for It was not supposed that it would, by the merest accident, become a delIberatIve as sembly,) was defeated by the nskil ful common sense of two or three un pretending citizens averse to public debate. And so, If every publio t meeting were as full as that one, men would have to argue, debate and per suade, or see their calculations most wofully disappointed. Let our meet ings, then, be large and full, and as t one moans of bringing about a full f attendance, let it be well understood em that upon all im portant matters there s will always a be a fair ballot open to i all. . Let South Carounua Now Do I Likewise. e If two years ago t)he people of North i Carelipa had come forth .every man of thoem and east their votes, they would have escaped the evils of which theIr glorious Conserattve vIetod~ of , las6 week will npw soon (ree .thens. Let us reoellecithat i our last elio- i tion twenty thousand bleek. did:aot care to votes If tblar is tpeqed,i * full white vote will edegin t tha~ th^ tropob efprts we can gaini ten oaAnd pk votes at least, sbd tn at aseo, .victory is doubly. sure, et -s fall Into line with Virginia, sOsaOs and North Carolina. --..- 0. .4 - - -" ublic Spirit and how to En- c courage It i We are glad to chronicle the inter t taken in the Iarbaoue, since it is an. idenco of the fact that public spirit ( not altogether a thing of the past. v Te hear that at least seventy-five v ieep will be slaughtered on the coca 2 on, besides beeves and hogs in pro. t ortion, and trust that we have not een misinformed. In reflecting over the methods of wakening and keeping alive public Airit, such is this barbecue shows, in ie country, in this State, it has >emod to us, that, if citizens would sort to the ballot wore generally in hoir township or neighborhood meet igs, and also in their large County teetings, a healthier and more earn at interest in what nearly concerns 1 hem all, would perhaps gradually row up and spread. Thu proper ray to appoint delegates, candidates, mportant committees, &c., is by bal ot. Let every neighborhood in Fair iold, for example, ballot for dele. ates to a nominating convention to seet at the Court House next month ; nd when met, let the convention bal ot for candidates to be run for Coun y Commissioners, County School Jommissioner, Probate Judge, and bree Representatives in the Gonoral kssembly. If the Republicans are rillirg to unite with the Union Re ormers on a compromise ticket, let hem indicate it, and name their hoice, in time for the Convention to onalder it with courtesy. We know that the causes of a lack f public spirit in the country which eads citizens to leave the manage nent of their politics to a few active nen, are various and deep, and not to >e remedied by any mere quackery. We, nevertheless, throw out the sug lestion of a more general resort to )allotting, as something that has a endenoy to do good. Under this resent system of a picked chairman mnd packed committees, three or four nen manage the entire County of airfield, and the same is true of oth ir Counties in the State. The ballot ystematically resorted to, would very ften quietly and silently and unox eotOdly astonish the community, and hose that usually manage its politics, y the names it would bring out at lie head of important committees, nd for delegates and candidates ; mnd the men flung forward by the allot would warm into entlusia: m rom a consoiousnes3 that strong riends were quietly behind them. Intil something of this sort is de nanded by public opinion, cordial banks are due to those few citizens who undea take much drudgery, to 'erve the people to the beet of their Lbility. If citizens will not take the rouble to attend a public meeting, mow can they do otherwise than feel ustly grateful to those public-spir it d and active moz who do take the rouble to do so, and thus pay in full, or whatever honor their trouble may ring the m?

PoLiTICAL AND GOVERNMENTAL RE. FORM.-Tbe honor belongs to the great State of Illinois of initiating the first and most important move move for reform of our State govern Ientits which has been attempted since the late war. One of the most do pilorablo of the consequences of the war has been the rapid declino in morality, and in regard for the true principles of Republican freedom and good government in our State and municipal systems, and in the vast in cr(lase of corruption, venality, and selfish and partinu aggrandizement. Thc accession to power of the radi cal party, with their profound con tempt for the old ideas of the fathers of the Governncett, with their ten dencies to political usurpation, aid to the unscrupulous u.e of political pat ronage for personal and party aggian disenient, regardless of the old land., marks and limitations of constitutioon al republicanism, and of the funda mental provi.uins of Magna Charta and bills of rights, has spread corrup. tion through all the States, to an ex tent which is not paralleled in any other country in the civilized world, and which has caused the trul,, and patriotic of our citizeus to despn - of the future of our Republic.-New Or!ens 'Times.
