The Caucasian if the supe rior of all races, and the Negro and Mongolian races must be satisfied with such rights as they enjoy under the; beneficent laws of our country, with-j out attempting to he the dictators or lawgivers of the Caucasian. This, country' is ours and our children's | children’s, and while we are willing to accord the privileges of our grand and humane Democratic institutions to such of the dark raccsas are among us, we insist that they must remem ber that it is our vine and fig tree, and while they may enjoy its hospitable shelter, they must not mutilate the beautiful branches which aflord them protection. The man who tries to strike down the Democratic party’ in South Caro lina, if lie he a white man is false to his race and the teachings of history’; ■ If he he a negro, he is false to Ids own I personal Interests, because he strikes! at the only' party which is able to j guarantee him security’ and honest | government.

We feel satisfied that the j statement about their “soreness” was j only a slip of the pen, and that no ; harm was intended by the young gen- j tlernan who represents the A'ciex and I Courier at Aiken.

Dr. James B. Hamilton, of Geor gia, who was a surgeon in the Con federate army and a friend of Ben Hill and Yancey, has given the fol lowing as the tree version of the dif ficulty* between them: “The trouble between Mr. Hill and Mr. Yancey,” lie said, “grew out of polities, and dated back to 18o0. It came about in this way. When Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, was in Congress he made a very* strong speech against the com- promise measures as proposed by* Mr. Clay. This was, I believe, in the olst Congress. It is generally* known as the compromise of IS-iO. When Con gress adjourned Mr. Toombs, for some reason or other, in the campaign for Governor in Georgia, felt it incum bent on himself to change his views, and made a very powerful speech in favor of the very* measure he had so earnestly opposed in Congress. Mr. Hill replied to Mr. Toombs, and was so hard on him that A. H. Stephens came to the assistance of Mr. Toombs. Mr. Hill then proceeded in another speech to show up the inconsistency* of both Mr. Toombs and Mr. Ste phens. Mr. Stephens took offense at what Mr. Hill said, and sent him a challenge to mortal combat. The challenge was borne by Judge Thomas W. Thomas. Mr. Hill informed Mr. Thomas, who was a more powerful man physically than Mr. Hill, that he eould not accept a challenge from Mr. Stephens, that Mr. SU j-’iens was an invalid, whereupon Mi. Thomas ters of general interest. We thank j suggested to Mr. Hill that he, Thomas, Senator Butler’s Letter. It so seldom falls to the lot of a country editor to receive words of commendation from any source, that we cannot resist the temptation of publishing so kind and encouraging a letter from our able IT. S. Senator, Gen. M. C. Butler. The letter was j marked “personal,” but upon a care ful perusal we see no impropriety in its publication, as it deals with niat- zatiou and hone renegades to the d government, Caucasian race. and Agricultural Prosperity. t It is estimated that the magnificent food crops of the South will save to , her in this single year tho enormous sum of $100,000,000. This immense i saving, supplemented by a fair aver- j age cotton crop, should enable our* people to invest in those matters of! comfort about their homesteads which j our Senator for his kind expressions, and hope he wil pardon the liberty we take. Enar.KiKi.n, S. C\, Sept. 1, ISSii. Mr. Chax. K. li. Drayton: My Dkah Sih—I have just finished your editorial on Greenbackism, and must congratulate you on your suc cessful diagnosis of this political ail ment—we can scarcely* call it a dis ease. I think you have about “hit the nail on the head,” if you will par*Ion the expression. Their princi ples do “vary according to the lati tude in which the particular Green back organization exists.” “A camp ing ground for political tramps and malcontents of all parties”;—that is exactly* so, and a miserably* poor camping ground they* have selected, the cranky conceptions and they have long needed, and also enable I V/ ,?* i c,alllv >’ /•inceptions | absurd pretences, this Greenback per- tliem to improve their farms and in-; formance exceeds them all. If they would call themselves Communists, farms and in vest in such implements as are neees- , nary* in this ora of free labor and pro- ! gressive ideas, for the profitable and i economic preparation and cultivation ! of the soil. Upon the judicious utilization of this vast sum hangs the prosperity of the {^outli for years to come. If dis bursed in a wise and conservative manner, every*industry* will be bene- fltted; hut if the spirit of wild cat speculation and extravagance is turn ed loose, it will melt away* like snow before the noonday* sun and leave us poorer than we were before. Agriculture is the original basis of all wealth, and upon the prosperity of the farmer all other occupations are so deeply interested that his mis takes or successes cannot he viewed was not an invalid, and he could tight him. This Mr. Hill declined to do, assigning as a reason that he was a class leader in the Methodist Church. That ended the difficulty’. When Mr. Hill was sent to the Confederate Sen ate he was very much opposed to tlie war. Yancey was a lireater and a great hater of President Jell' Davis. Mr. Hill assumed the championship of Mr. Davis in the Senate, took sides with and defended him in everything lie said and did. This so exasperated Yancey* that, one day* in the Senate, after Mr. Hill had concluded a speech in defense of Mr. Davis, he rose in his place, and in that sjyle of his, which was simply 7 inimitable, proceeded to charge Mr. Hill with inconsistency and a want of ardor for the cause of the South. He brought up Mr. Hill’s past record, and finally referred to the Stephens difficulty 7 , and intimated that Hill was a coward. When he did that Mr. Hill picked up an ink stand and threw it at Yancey, just grazing his check hone. Yancey, in dodging, slipped and fell backward over his desk, thereby* hurting him self slightly. That was all there was it.”' “Tii atfopted, nilll'e themselves thi mics of good government, w they choose to masquerade as pendents or boldly flaunt the ^ flagof the Republican party. Pol? solidarity is as important as ev fore, anrf there is less excuse thi any previous canvass for dis* and desertion. Opposition Democratic candidates and the ocratic platform, in this campaign, must be taken as proof of invincible ignorance, or of greed and ambition that would sacrifice the brightest hopes of the State for the gratification of personal desires. The State Committee earnestly urge their fellow Democrats to exert them selves to tlie utmost to bring out a full vote, and to spare no pains to sv'ell tlie ranks ot the colored Democracy. By well-considered laws, repeating and ballot-box stuffing are alike guar ded against. The Democracy, there fore, can go into the canvass with the assurance that the strength of thc'on- position will not be increased?by trickery or fraud, and with the satis faction of knowing that, in South Carolina, there shall be, beyond dis pute, a free and fair election. By per sonal exertion, in exhibiting and ex plaining to individual voters the ben efits and blessings of Democratic rule, the Democracy’ can command the in- tellfgent support and continuing co operation of the colored people. To this end no labor, no persuasion, no argument should be spared. So will the Democracy’ be proud of the tri umph they* shall enjoy 7 , as the lawful and legitimate result of just adminis tration, wise nominations, liberal principles, and systematic and unflag ging work. This wo owe to the State, and we owe it to the traditions of the master-race to which we belong. Victory we must have; and Honor with victory 7 . Signed—James F. Izlar, Chiinnan; G. 1). Bryan, J.
