A CARD. Having been suggested for nomination by thc Democracy of Anderson County for the position of a representative in the next General Aanemhly, I desire lo return my sincere thanks to the kind friends who made the, suggestion in the card published last week, as well ns to those who have indicated an endorsement of the sugges tion since its publication. From defer ence to their wishes, I regret that circum stances impel me tn tho opinion that I should decline to become a candidate at this time. The rhea is too far spent to make it advisable to introduce new can didate.; ; and my principal reason for declining to run is, that I do not think thc best interests of the Democracy would bc advanced by. my candidacy. Besides this, personal considerations rentier it to mv advantage not to become a member of thc Legislature, if I could be elected, for it would call mc from my profession nt a busy season of the year, and also rentier it necessary for me to employ some one to take my place in the edito rial work. Of course, however, I would cheerfully forego any personal interest if the people of my County needed my Hcrvices bi any position, but I nm satis lied that men can ho selected from tho candidates nlready announced who will servo the County as efficiently ns I could do, if not more HO. I tlo not believe it is possible for a mnn to render moro ofli cient service in any sphere than he can do by editorial work, ntul my friends may rest assured that no man takes a more lively interest in thc success of tho Stntc and County Democracy than I do. I have given the greater part of my timo and attention to assist in its achievement since tho first agitation of the question, and must congratulate the peoplo upon tho nattering prospects before them. I desire to complete this battle as a private and not as an officer, and hence have made these plain statements in tho hope vhr.t I .issy convince my friends that al though .1 appreciate their compliment, yet it is best that I should not enter tho canvass as a Candidate. Very respectfully, E. B. MURRAY. NORTHERN ?SN IN THE MOUTH. The Union-Herald, Gov. Chamberlain's mendacious organ of tho bloody shirt stripe, speaks of the generous contribu tions from the North to the yollow fever sufferers, and then Bays: "In the South we read of, seo and feel tho Northern man ostracised and threatened to be ban ished and starved, if not murdered, for his political opinions. Aud this is freo America." If by tho Northern man tho Union-Herald means the industrious, in telligent, honest settler in our midst from tho North, the article is infamously falso and slanderous of our people. There are Northern gentlemen in this County, who have settled amongst us since thc war, and who have been Republicans, thntare respected and treated with aufflcieut re cognition and kindness to induco them to raako this their home when they wcro ablo to havo settled elsewhere. Thoy have come hero ns citizens of integrity, and havo sustained their reputation by their conduct. Hence, they aro treated as friends. If, however, the Union Herald means hy the term Northern men tho political bummers who have como down South to engender discord between tho races, then its statements ought to be made true if they aro not nlready so. But they are not treated so because they aro Northern men, it is became they are political thieves and disreputable villains, who had no recognition among respecta ble men at the Noitb. If A set of thieves were to go to Massachusetts they would not receive social or business recognition, but would bc accommodated to a peni tentiary cell. We have the evidence of a verdict from a jnry that ex-trsasurcr Parker v.aa a thiel ; the statement of the j candidate of the Republican party for Attorney General that Gov. Chamber lain has been guilty of felony ; tho affi davits of men from Pennsylvania to vari ous swindling acts upon the part of Sen ator Patterson ; the verdict of Congress against the respectability of Whittemore by his expulsion for selling a cadctship ; thu conviction of C. C. Bowen for bigamy, and a long li?t of such charges against numerous others of these adventurers. No respectable man couti couutenauce men of this stamp, ?ind it ia useless for tho paper owned by Gov. Chamberlain to cudoavor to work up a prejudice Against our people. We have been ruled by these rascals until both white and colored citizens feel that our business and our respect ability demand that they bo turned out to make room toe honest met). - Senator T. C. AV.dr?W8. tho moat in fluential Republican in th? County of Orangeburg, hos announced that ho in* tends to vote for Hampton and au honest government. A PRECEDENT. Tho Union*HeraH ls endeavoring to make ?ta rendors think there is something very culpable in thc oouree of the Demo crats in some parts of our ?tato because they choose to give their patronage to Democrats instead of Republicans, and prefer letting their lauds lie idle rather than hire or rent to a Republican. A? a gcucral thing it is bad policy to allow politics to make dividing lines in boni ness, and under an ordinary condition of affairs we should condemn the practice, but as things now stand there is no just ground for any such censure, for South Carolina Republicanism is so corrupt and infamous, its consequences are so injuri ous both to labor and capital, and il* ex istence is so utterly destructive of peace and prosperity that no good man can lend it any countenance without feeling that be is nursing a viper which i' con tinually biting bim and his country?'' en. No man of integrity would intentionally think of keelong in his employ a pro fessional set of thieves, nor would bc furnish dwellings to a set of tenants who afford harbor and protection to such thieves, and yet thin is exactly what the property holders of South Carolina have been doing in a political sense for several years. Thc loaders of the Republican party arc undoubtedly, as a set, corrupt, thievish and seditious, and although wc believe the masses of the Republican party are politically honest, still, by their votes, whether intentionally or not, they repeatedly foist upon our people the government of these leaders, and arc therefore rmnonsihle for it Monee there can bc nothing morally, socially, politically nor legally impro|?er in n Democrat deciding to patronize his polit cal friends, and declining to aford sup port to the men whit arc antagonist!.; to his interests sud to tho welfare of the State. No sane man would ?ny that a person should employ a servant who, however honest he might be, would fur nish a thief with a key to iiis corn crib to steal his com. Then, why say that Democrats should furnish labor to Re publicans, who, by their votes, put thieves into positions in which they can and do squander the exorbitant taxes .hey levy and collect from thc property of the State, nine-tenths of walch be longs to Democrats.? But whatever may be said of this course, there is one thing which wc wish the Republicans to remember whenever they complain of it. It is that the same thing is carried out through the entire North, East and West, and therefore wc of thc South will only be imitating the example of others if we adopt it here. In New England thu lahorers in thc fac tories would not think nf voting against thc interests of their employer, and in tho Middle States thu miner would not dream of getting employment where he voted against tho interest of his employer. There is no reason why thc farmer should not exercise the same influence over his laborers which is done by thc manu facturer or miner. But moreover, even the United States government exercises this control over ita employ?es, thc office holders, for if au officer votes against tho party in power, even if he is a clerk, he loses his position. Therefore, wc have tho high sanction of the national admin istration to sustain the position of some Democrats, that they will only give em ployment and patronage to their political friends. And last but not least, whether thc position is right or not, Governor Cham berlain has set the precedent, and it ill becomes the paper which he owns to con demn others for doing what ho ha? led off in. During the canvass two years ago ho repeatedly declared upon the stump that he would appoint none but Republicans to office. This was announcing the prin ciple for himself which bc POW condemns in others. How can tho Governor, wdto declares he will appoint none but Repub licans to ofhee, complain of tho Democrat who will employ none but Democrats tn work for them ? Thc Governor holds tho omc?t iu trust for tho benefit of all the people, while the property of tho citizen ir nis individually ; hence, if tho Gov ernor makes partisan uso of the offices entrusted to bis care, is it wrong for a citizen to employ bia property in such a manner aa to advanco his interest and tho interest of the whole State? Gov crnor vnamoeruun is too omi. mnu ?no hoisted tho flag of political proscription in this State, and if he is demolished nt his own game, he and his party must blame themselves. EDITORIAL NOTES. Captain Loyd hat been sent tc Abbe ville with n company of United States troops. They arc spoken of as gentle men, and tho people of Abbeville do nut regret their presence. Their presence ?viii not do anything to damage the cause )f Democracy in that County. The iloody ?birt programme has simply played out, and the sooner the Rcpubli :ans recognize the fact the better it will >o for them. United States troops nra as nuch of a protection to ono side as they iro to another. The Union-Herald is unable to manu acture sufficient campaign falsehoods, hcrcforc it has gone to copying tho ficti ious correspondence of other papers, rhich it knows contain tho most slander ms fabrications put out in tho interest of derron's bloody shirt canvass. Tho States of Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia and Colorado voto on next 'ucsdny for State officers. Tho Dem? rala will get tho lion's sharo of these tates, and after that no reasonable per on will bet on Hayes and Wheeler, 'he bloody shirt and Carl Schurz [leeches were like oil and water, they rottld not mix, aud hence added to tho )cmocratic canvass in both Ohio and In iana. - A roan was indicted in Alabama for arrving concealed wonpons, and a Unl ed States Marshal, in whoso employ the nan bad once been, took umbrage at the ndictment, and demanded tho nam rs of Ito grand jury, for the purposoof nutting eton to "all such outrages." The heriff whom he addressed mildly replied bat it could bo determined on tho trial f tho case whether the man committed ho breach of law while be was in the mploy of thc Government, and suggested hat indictments had been foundatSt. .oula and Chicago against some pretty S;h officials, which had uot been cnn' ercd outrages.

Vile following letter from our neigh boring town of Walhullu to a paper in Minnesota, ha? bevn neut tis, with an in quiry as io ii - tfUtu . WALHALLA, OoorifcE Co., S C., I September 1st, 187<>. j E'litor? of The Pioneer-PIXM and Tribune: ! wi-!; to ?iake a .!:'.'...!::.?.?;'. t" you in regard to the politic* and the safety of northern men down here. I came down here to look out a home for myself and two or three other families. I came to thin town about July 7th, and aa it was necessary faunie to reujui:>. for I a time, i engaged to make a run of four I feet granite illili stone* for a mill in this 1 town. As ? was a northern mau the; seemed to seek me out to lind out my politic. I gave my views freely, but carefully, isaying that a large majority of thc best classes north thought''it wouh'l be a great mistake to et thc Democrats get control of thc gos eminent for thc next four years. They all wanted to know why. I told them, "because you would annul the war department, stop the pen sions (unless you could have pensions too) and yon would put in your claims to get pay for your slaves. Two out of three said, "Why not? The whole world knows it would bc right and just." That is the sentiment here. It went on very well until two weeks back, w hen General Wade Hampton made a speech here, and he lins fired up thc old rebel heart. Ile said he was never whipped, and he had been praying for tho last ten years that he might live to strike one more blow for his country-which was received with real old rebel yells, such as I heard when they had their arms in their hands. A few evenings ago, as ! carno home from my work, in front of my boarding house there was gathered a group of negroes, ten or twelve in number, and a while Re publican talking to them. Ho said, "Here ls a Northern man ; let's sec what he saya about your joining the Democratic Club." This evening, as they had called the col ored men for that purpose at the Court House, 1 said 1 hoped the time .rould soon come when tiley would all have the right to vote either ticket they pleased freely and without fear; but 1 could not see how a colored man could want to vote thc Democratic ticket this fall, ns things were too unsettled yet, and a few other words to that effect. I looked up and three white men had hurried from the front of their stores, and they said they hud come to hear. I said there was an opportunity for any one who wished to speak ; that I had tried to answer a ques lion for these men, and I saw the tire flash in their eyes, mid I turned and went into the house. This evening I wa? lob', that there was parties here from Georgia and North Carolina watching for me, and if I wanted to finish those stones und get away from here, I must stay in the house in tlie evening, and if any one spoke to me about polities, to answer, I would have nothing to do with them, or I would not he safe. My informant told me this as a friend. Ile is a leading mason (so I heed his warning. I He was walking up the street Home years ago with a lieuten ant of a colored company stat ?onad here. Thu lieutenant had been invited to a party, and was shot dead while walking, and this mau was arresjted, hut as them was no proof he waa acquitted. I have heard hun say that many would have to bite the dust this full if they did not ?top their lies to the niggers. If I could write one-half what I have seen and heard, you would uoi have faith in me. Please change my address on your pa pel f-ou) Highland, Macon County, N. C., back to Heaver Palls, Renville Coun ty, Miun., ns 1 shall leave these parts and go back amongst the grasshoppers if I live to get away ; and 1 do not intend to come down here unless I do so as a vol unteer for the government or the union. They snv their salvation depends on car rying this election, and they are going to do it at all hazards. If vou think best you may print ibis, I will direct it to the postumster, and request him tu h ar ul it tu you, for I fear it may b-^ inspected if addressed to your paper. Respectfully yours, CHARLES lt. ELDREDGE, An Old Subscriber. P. S. I served three Years in thc war ; went out iu the Second Company Min nesota Sharp Shooters, Uerdan a First Regiment, und they know it here. This afternoon the people of this town floated a Tilden, Hendricks and Hampton fiug with the stars and stripes across the street in front of thc main hotel with thc stars and stripes desecrated with this motto inscribed on it: "Reform or Death!" This is a Democratic County as there are but few colored people, and white Repub licans ure very scarce down here. It is rather hot for them to stay herc. They were d::ided about raising thc stars and stripcb, one said if they raised it it would be cut down, for they would not sec it floating over them, and those that put it up told mc that they did not like to see it, but it is evident it is to get the colored vote. I shall remain herc and finish my job if I live long enough or for n few days. Truly your.?, C. R. ELDREDGE, This letter is a fair sample of the false hoods written about our people by do signing politicians or paid minions of il.n Kt,.o.K. >ki?? "_:_ ?ir._ ?ss meetly s...~i campaigners. >? *- pro* nomico tho letter a tissue of lies from beginning to end, in every material state ment made in it. The letter reads like those written by professional correspon dents, and must have been so, for any other than a practiced liar could not have put so much of. falsehood in it. We do not believe that any sensible mun in thc State expects or thiuks of getting pay for the liberated slaves, or of hav ing the Confederate debt pnid. Of course wc cannot say that there is no mnn who holds tn ese opinions, hut wo can say that wo have not met a single mun who lins said ono word about these, or either of thc?? subjects, and there has not been a single line in n newspaper iu thia Stato advocating either, that we have Been or heard of. Thc platform of the Democracy of this State is a sol emn pledge to accept as irrevocable the results of th? war, and Gen. Hampton has pledged his sacred honor to sustain tho reconstruction acts '.f elected. Ho has never made an inflammatory speech in this canvass, and whenever ho Bpcnks of thc United States soldier does so in terms which are respectful and complimentary, and whoever represents him as speaking otherwise is n malicious slanderer. As to personal danger thero has not been a (vhitc Republican hurt in the State luring thia cauvaos, and no colored Re publicans have been troubled for political purposes except in the Hamburg and Ellington riots, which vero begun and ?rried on by them, aud thc whites were )bligcd to defend themselves. We do not fear truthful contradiction when wo my that so far as we have been able to earn, (and we exchange with, nearly all, f not aii, the State papers) thc Dcmo :rats have not even committed An excess u any except tho Hamburg riot, and tho Republicans refuse to bring them to trial ibout this matter until after tho cloction, >ocau80 of the strong showing that cnn ie made against tho Republicans in this natter. While this ii the fact, Democrats have leen killed in tho Hamburg and Ellins on and Charleston riot*. Others have icen beaten by Republican mobs, and louses and gins have been bumed. Tho Democrat* have received five times the violence fruin Republicans that Republi can* have fmni Democrat!*, and Governor Chamberlain has made no effort to ston these troubles beyond asking for troops, and when troops are sent hera they are not stationed at tho point-; of trouble When thc- writer says he reared the in terception of bb. h iter he proved his i lying, for the postmaster at Walhalla and thc route agents along thu emil route are Republicans. The statements about the United States flag ?ire equally false. There never a?b ?U iiuuiy national flags ill this .State before, and it luis never cre ated the enthusiasm in South Carolina which it does to-day since the times of nullification. These flags adorn every campaign stump, ?ind are earned by nearly every club in the Statt-. There is a better feeling in South Carolina towards the Union than has existed in many years. Wc would really like to renew our national fraternity, and nothing, not even the bloody shirt speakers of the Re publican party, can induce South Caro lina to pursue th ? course falsely attribu ted to her. POLITICAL NOTES. - In the recent election in Arkansas the Republicans c irried but one out of thirty-one counties. - Thc irrepressible Judge Mackey suvs that "every man on thc Republican tick et has a well defined criminal record." - lielknap has determined to go to California to live, unless thc election of Haves re-opens a pluce for him in the Cabinet. I - Senator Janies M. Smith, a Repub lican mendier of thc hist Legislature from Barnwell county, has renounced radicalism and returned to the Demo cratic fold. - Major Theodore G. Barker, of Charleston, has been appointed by thc Htate Executive Committee on the Dem cratie tmlcet for jilector at Large, rice General John A. Wagoner, deceased. - Tile full returns of the late election in Arkansas are published, showing the vote on Governor and Secretary of State. Thc Democratic majority lacks but a mero trifle of 40,000, and will go over that in November. - It is an encouraging thing for those who hope for reform in thc administra tion to remember that the increase of thc Democratic vote in Vermont was 4422 chile thc increase in the Republican vote wu-s only 418. - There is nota single white man in South Carolina, who has the least spark of self-respect about him, who can vote thc ticket nominated by the Republican Convention without feeling that hu is doing wrong. - The Republicans are straining every nerve to carry indiana, well knowing that defeat there means ruin to them in November. But the prospects aro that they will be defeated in Indiana, and, thu chances aro, in Ohio also. - At Rantowle's, in Colleton county, a Colored Democratic Club has tn formed on n rice plantation. The Club is headed by Capt. Juck Holmes, fore man on Mr. Fishbtirnc's plantation, and its membership already is 40. - Tho State Democratic Executive Committee have appointed J. Adger Smyth, r'sq., of Charleston, to fill the vacancy on tho Committee caused by thc resignation of Col. John H. Evins, of Spartanburg, who is a candidate tor Con gress from thc Fourth District. - Hon. Joseph Segar, now Republi can candidate for Cong:ess in thc Second District of Virginia, hus been greatly dis gusted by tbs publication ol u letter written by him in 18G8, in which bc said: "I abominate as I have always abomina ted, universal suffrage, either for black or white men. I regard negro suffrage as the veriest absurditw that was ever con ceived by human hallucination." - A number of negroes employed in Atlanta have notified their employers that they will give up their situations on the 1st of October, in order to remove to South Carolina, where, they say, wages aro better. This is looked upon as a political trick of tho enemy, a na done to strengthen tho rapidly waning fortunes of the Radical party iii this State, and it would bo well to look out for imported colored voters. - Dr. Benj. L. Brisbane, editor of the True ."youth, published nt Brunson'a, S. C., and also a minister of the Gospel, wdio has always heretofore rigidly adhered to thc Republican party, has now declared for Hampton and Reform, and is doing much good service for thc ticket in his quiet way. Like Judge Cooke, he still adheres to bis Republican principles, and will vote for Hayes and Wheeler, but will support our State ticket. - Tho records provo that the number of officeholders has been increased during President Grant's administration from 54.267 to 94,119, or at the rate of more than 6,000 a yea- -, that during almost the whole of this pern\\ the country has been Buffering from great commercial de pression, and nearly every home baa felt the pressure of hard times. This is the army with which the Republican leaders hopo to overwhelm the voice of the peo ple nt the coming elections. - Tho woman suffragists of Maasachti ttett*, losing faith in the honesty of tho professions of the Republicau partv of that State, in regard to their cause, held n State Convention lost week, and adop ted the ticket of the Prohibition und Labor Reform pai des. Tho combination hope to poll tit tee i to ighteen thousand votes, and thus defeat their late friends, j They claim to hold the balance of power, and* if so will make trouble in the Re publican camp of Massachusetts. - A mass convention of Union sol diers and sailors, who desire a reform in the government, is called to meet at Albany. N. Y., on tho 19th of October. Tho cati is signed by Major General Hooker and several other LToion officers, and it declares : "The enrollment already made at these headquarters shows con clusively that a majority of Union sol diers and sailors a.c not in favor of tho perpetuation of Granusm in the election af Hayes and Wheel..r as stated by Gen eral Dix and other Republican leaders, but in favor of reform and thc election of Samuel J.
