trouble of getting the true facts of the
'ot.se, atid they areas follows : During
the c.unpaYnii of 1872, Mosea borrow
'ed from loster Blodgett, now of
owlhti y, sundry amounts of imlonev,
and gave therefor sundry notes en
.dorsed by J. L. Neraglo. Tho notes

ii'g lilt tigett allowed the notoS to
stand over. But Moses did not stand
up to his agreenint, and Blodgett
p laer d t ho notes in suit atnd recovered
judgment. Last week the levy was
ordero-l, and \loses having no visible
eifoets, the shieriff attached Neaglo's
Iridge, which is the best paying

owns. 'I'hereupon the latter became
quite in digant, and being about

swore eternal vengeanee against
Mose's, anid declared that he would
kill himi unless the money was im

.4o Much Politics.
Ono of the greatest evils urde
which our country now labos is ni
excess cf politics. It does not con
fine itself to matters pertaining t
govern ment, but invades the spher
of relli:on, and endeavors to fraim
laws for society. It too frequentl:
forms the criterion for doterminuin
the fitnoss of aspirants for public po
sitions whoso very nutuio and 'th
duties they impose would scom t
forbid the preadifoo of any influono
save that springing froin a high sons
of duty. The 'auso of this uudu
power of politics is found in the na
ture of our government. It is th
constant' dhn, 'not onl-y of politician
and demagogues, but of teachers an
writers on political sok'nce, to in
press their followers and pupils wit
the magnitude of the citizen's rights
and the duty of all to aspire to th
enjoyment of tho'higelist of thei.
Nor is this teaching confined to th
sphero of those whom we have mn
tioned ; it invados the sacred domai
of religion,- and the pulpit, instead o
being the herald of "peace on cart[
good-will towards men," is made t
porform the part of a political new
journal, in lauding the deeds of on
party, and denounding 't'lh faults c
another.
Nowhere is the evil of this-stato c
things more readily aind forcibly 'Vrt
sented than in South Carolina. 'thI
negro, naturally enthusiuisti and fai
of sensatiou and novelty, has been A
constantly exhorted to a due Dppic
ciaticn of his inmnenso privilege
that he lains so echterea his tiough
upon alS 0110 thome as to.be not ur
frcquontly negligent of those thing
that pertain to his happin is
and material well-boint. Farm-wor
is frequently abandoned, in favor <
a political gathering or uninIIob
parade, and both planter and laborc
made to auffer. We have known
more than one instanco in whiich
imijority of the laborers on a fart
have had "orders" to leave work an
moet at the county-seat to listen t
political harangues, and thiU too, i
in the midst of an active oampnaig
but whon thero would seei to be n
possiblo need of any such demonstri
tion. Much harmi is likewise dono b
"runners'' who, having nothing bett4
to do, visit the different farnms,
enlighton their colored brethren upc
what is going on in the polities
world, thus causing further interrn[
tion of, work and much injury to LI
labor or. We have not spaet
enumerate the numerous bad result
of this excess of polities, but th
ca sea cited are suflicent to show tb
general principles involved.
We are of course aware that tI
negro gives but little hood to tLI
advice of his friends beyond the limi
of his party, but we bring the matt
to his attention in the hope that 1
he may be broughit to reali2
thio evils of his present thraldom u
political influouceis, and retolvet
give his timo less to suoh matters, ani
mocre to those which will conduce
his real happiness anid the welfare<
the commnunity to which he belong:
An Appe'al to thci Fiarmers.
We call especial attention to a coni
munication addressed to the niepnbl
ean farmers of the State. The writ<
is a colored minister, located in' th
county. Ills letter contains sever.
striking points, and we hope) it we
be generally circulated and hee
by the class to whoni it is addre*sset
The difficulty, heretofore,. t~a bee
that the mnasses of the colored peopl,
though we believe honiest at hoor
have allowed themselves to bo di
ceived by demagogues and politici
triecstors. They have been tangl
that it makes no diffeurence how mut
stealing goes on, provided their or
loaders d o the st ealing. They belie,
that this is the pay they niust give
few carpot-baggers anid politicians f,
keeping themn out of slavery.- The
never for a moment realize that
any one could put them back int
slavery, lie could do so bottar thirou
the aid of tho present Laegislatujro the
through that of an honest and hig
toned body.
It has beori psroved over and 6v
again that a majority of the Leogial
ture can be bought up to support ai
