Wltindedy Morning. January 6, 1876
Valedictory.
With the proient issue to; miate
my connection with the editoria
dopartm ent of the Nmw and HERAJP
Having accepted a position on the
editorial staff of the Charlostoi
Netcs and Courier, it becomes no
cessary for me to sunder ties which
have bound me closely to the poo
plo of Fairfield and to relinquish a
task which though sometimes irk
some has been in the main attendei
with pleasuro. During my man
agomont, as before, it has boon the
aim of the NEWs and HERALD to
conservo the best interests of th<
whole people, and, while manifosting
no partisanship or fanaticism, to
maintain right and to denounce
wrong, wherever found. The
difficulties attending this self imposei
task were lessened by the conscious
ness that the pulse of the paper
throbbed in unison with the pulse
of its readers ; and to their cordial
support is due any good which
may have resulted from its efforts
The past three years have been
marked by political gloom and
financial embarrasEment. It
seemed at one time that the lane
would have no turn-the dark cloud
no silver lining. But impercepti
bly*the future is brightening, and
the dawn of a bettor day is at hand.
Political violence and robbery are
creations of the hideous night fol
lowing reconstruction. The world
finds no pbce for them now. The
besotted villains who do not yet
comprehend this fact are encom
passing their own destruction.
They are excrescences on the body
politic and will be lopped ofE The
noble stand taken by Governor
Chamberlain and the determined
support of all good elements with
in and without the State give as
surance of a victory for reform, if
the people but do their duty. And
the feeling of outraged decency in
the breast of every true Carolinian
at the recent insults perpetrated by
the Legislature will insure the
necessary energy. South Garolina
will be redeemed.
Great financial embarrassment
still prevails. This wvas caused by
the changed condition of the peo
pie brought about by the war, by
the extravagance which attends an
inflated currency, and by the mis
government of the party in power,
which banisfied capital from the State.
.But the people are gradually learn
ing to adapt themselves to the
change in their condition. They
are learning to 'become produce: s
as wvell as consumere. And the govern
mojnt is becoming less and less an
engine of confiscation. Theo is
theref or6 reason to hope for
osmo1LitedL to hin. Ho then asked if
ho could not stty at the hotel, but
the ofieors info:incd him ,thamt their
#rders woro to carry hiin to the
City Hall. He thmen wont with the
officers to that place. Judge Snead
required him to give a bond for one

be done justat fthat time, so ho ~vas
kept in custody. The oflicers who
wvent to the Augusta Hotel in quest
of Mr. 'Woodward found that that
g tlpian had disappeared., He had
o dontly heard what was .idtended
V and thereforc kept out of the wvay.
The offieers remained about the
hotel during tho mnorning.

consideration and determination of
the Conservative people of South
= Carolina, and other issues that are
certain to arise within a fev muths,
are plain to every thinkig. person.
It is useless, as it is impossible, to.
disguise the fob. that we have
reached in State affairs a griss more
1 fraight with interest and iniiportance
than any through which we have yet
been called to pass.- To meet these
i issues, to puss safely and tiiumphant
ly through this crisis, vill require z,
i degree of determination and sagacity
which our people have never yet
6 been called upon to exercise. To
keep those questions contiu$ 11A and
forcibly before the peopie of Fair
field, shall be my constant aim. To
expose the misdeeds already done
and still being done by our present
State government ; to applaud the
right arta condemn the wrong in
whomsoever found ;to bring about
such a unity of sentiment, with such
an effoiency of orgaunizaition, among
the Conservatives of Fairfield, as to
make them the power in the State
that they deserve to be ; to furnish
them with as much as possible of the
information which they may need
for the complete. accomplishment of
these ends ;-such shall be the ob
jects of my efforts while I occupy
the editorial chair of the NEwS and
HERALD. Beyond the domain of
politics, there is likewise much that
calls for investigation and discus
sion. Such subjects will receive
their due share of attention. How
far my achievements may fall short of
my desires, can only 4bo deter.
mined hereafter.
Conscious of. my inability to do
full justice to the task that lies be
fore me, and fully recognizing the
responsibility that now devolves
upon me, I invoke the indulgent con
sideration and the friendly co-opor.
tion of the good people of Fairfield.

Many republicans who, a year
and a half ago, denounced Moses
as the most infamous scoundrol that
ever lived, voted to make him judge. t
Of such men is the radical party J
of South Carolina largely cor n
posed.
Steps have beenr taken in many 1
counties of the state, to hold public 1
meetings for the purpose of endors
ing Governor CJhamnberlin 's action li
in the matter of commlissioning 1:
Moses and Whipper, and there is
every reason to believe that those
meetings will be full and -strong. 4.

it has been profuse in its strictures
upon Southern men, Southern ac

roud for sotpposing that he wvas
glad to find an lausWible excuse
'or his course. That the election of
~hese two men is, to quote the
Qohvernlor's woei1I, "a horrible dis

[From ithne'Joston Otobo, 'Rep.]
The singlo case in which a South
ern State has esoape(l from abomina

throwing "Radical rule" is that of
South Caroina. After a series of
ridiculous 'und shameful bureses
on State admiinistr~ation, the better
elements united' in suppof-t of Mr.
Chamberlain, a . ,republ ican and a
man of Northern birth, who has
proved tp',be what the best of re.

South Carolina cannot maintain thn
posi ' hiBspha ' s~eeded in

Gov. ~ses aff'd Mr. Whipper as
eirdtiit judges indicates that the old
influences are still at work trying to
pull the State back into its degrada
tion. We wish, for the sake of the
republicans, that it wore otherwise,
but we are forced to the conelusion
that at present it is bettor for the
Southern States to hav'e the conser

The Color Line in Africa.
WARTUNGTON, December 27.-In
formation has been received from
Liberia stating that several of the
native tribes encouraged by the sne
ce ss of the Goilero tribe near Cape
Palmas, made an attack recently on
the settlers in Another part of
Liberia, but were vigorously re
pulsed. A private letter says that
the peaeo the republic is some
what disturbed by the question of
color. President Roberts is much
embarrassed on this account ; the
fact of his not being of pure African
blood being very objectionable to
manyv. An intelligent negro from
the W~est Indice is the principal
agitating spirit who seeka to
establish a political color test, taking
the side of the blacks against those
of light complexion. .The more
orderly of the Liberians would re
joice if they eguld be relieved of the
leader iin this course of mischief.
