"Ctovr-rnor Chamberlain husatlast'made n feint towards preserving the peace in South Carolina, lt is n step not taken without con; (deration of a ccr{aint kind. /I'oitefson Wtffgcfitcd it, Orant npproved ft, tvad Chamberlain, ?ot..withed a brief struggle with his conscience, orders that thc rifle club* be disbanded. Only a week ago thc ?tovOruor did not share in the apprehensions of Patterson in regard to tronble in South Carolina. Od the contrary, he said most emphatically to a reporter that ho could riot believe that cither party would seriously cont?mplate any'ovcrt afct/wbich would lead to ? col lision, as Hitch a conflict would necessarily be bad for. both parties. He added : "The Democrats have everything to gain hy pursuing a pacific course, and wliilo there may bc occasional disturbances, Uko the affairs at Hamburg and at Aiken, I do not believe there will be any general disturbance." Since these flews were ex pressed South Carolina has been quiet to a degree exceptional in a political cam oaign. A sherill"a posse secured order in Barnwell and Aiken: tho d?termination of thc white people to protect thc colored Democrats from negro mobs has main tained peace in the streets of Charbston, and every day the report has been that all was quiet on the Combahee. in fact, the only Ker ?otis breach of the pence that has occurred Hinco Governor Chamberlain returned to hia ??>at of government was the brutal whipping of Emanuel Robin son and other negroes of Caw Uaw town ship for declaring their intention to vote the Democratic ticket, the lash being applied by zealous Republicans of the same color. What, then, has brought the Governor around to Senator Patterson's way of thinking and led him to issue thia warlike proclamation? It is simply the discovery that unless something be done to break up the wonderful Couservaiivo organization, and to stir up thc whites to resistance. Gen. Wade Hampton will bo the next Governor of South Carolina. A pietext for the intervention of the mili tary nnn of the Federal government must be made, ?nd Governor Chamberlain has ci ./ison ted to do bia part in this direction. Another blooddottlng like that nt Ham burg would bo a jgodsend to him and his party. The object of his proclamation ia, therefore, not to preserve the peace, hut to provoke war. The uature of thc rifle clubs, against which Governor Chamberlain's proclama tion ia directed, may not bo generally understood in this section. These organ izations grew out of grosaiy partisan leg islation, placing the entire militia of the State in thc hands of the negroes. Near ly every oflicer and every man in the South Carolina militia is a negro. The whites would not serve under negro offi ccrs, and they could not enlist without danger of their companies being assigned to regiments commanded by negroes. Under Governor Scoft'a administration immense appropriations wero made for tho purchase ot arms and ammunition, and tbeso wero distributed throughout the State with a lavish hand until every negro was supplied, whether enrolled in a militia company or r.ot. Naturally, tho whites saw dangc * to their interests in this stuto of afTaus. All attempts to procure arms from the State for indepen dent, companies proving futile, they re sorted to tho organization of sabre and rifle clubs, composed of men who bought their own uniforms and arms. So far from condemning this step, the Conserva" tire Republicans looked upon it with favor, audi ff we mistake not. Governor Chumbcrloin, among others then of thu class, waa elected to and accepted hono rary membership in several ortho associ ations thus" formed. Further, he has even spoken of them in tho North as on honor to tho State. Such -nu association is vtbfe AVashlngton Light Infantry bf OfaitrlcsCoh,' -winch has" brion foremost in advocacy of reconciliation and peace, and tho members of which, at Bunker Hill InBt year, and nt Philadelphia a few months ago, manifested, ut considerable personal sacrifice and expense, their zeal in this causo. For five or six years thcJie clubs have been ii. existence, and no dis turbance of th? poico can bo.traced to thqir??dl.?ence; ort ti;* contrary, their.la reason .to .believe that they have been a conservativo force ?'nd served & good pur pose in keening tho armed negroes from rash acts which might hare brought on rrtee cbh?i?l?}* But 'thb'VroubJo ia that5 being white, the members cf then* clubs are Democratic, and. ' Doing thoroughly organized nnd disciplined, they consti tute- a political Jiowcr which is. used.with great effect ta thia canipaign. <Thcir dis organisation would, in Governor Cham* herlnin's opinion, break tho backbone of tho Democratic party. If thc edict of the Governor should bo resisted by force, an additional point would bo fained. Happily, however, thero is reason to be lieve that the Governor has counted without hjiJ&ost: v.Tho^reibfcl*' ofr&iuth CarpHna, have .resolved to near and for bear to the utmost in order to elect thc. R ufo vm ticket. It is stated that tho clubs will formally disband, retaining their arina, which, "it't ! lin. exception of two companies, are th'?r%ww property.

It is < true he was foremost among those who i rebelled against thc rightful authority of ! the United States, and fought uninter ruptedly during thc civil war; but ho i maintained throughout tiwi bitter time, i as he had before and a* he has ?ince, a < hij'h and deserved character fur gallantry ? (A tptthi ' Thc other is a man who' has ! consol ted with thc thieves who ba ve plundered, South Carolina, and has : sharetj ?o'their spoils. Though of lute i ho has put on the pretence of integrity, Jet he is an out-and-out political fraud, lampton in a man against whose honor not oven lu-* worst enemies venture to allege anything. When, n few weeks ago, the State was in turmoil h cen u .so of disturbances growing mit .of antagonisms between tho blacks and whites, Cham berlain, instead of remaining at his poet as Governor at Columbia, abandoned the Ktate und hurried to Washington to aar the aid of United Hintes troops to help elect him again to tbesa'mo oflic?. Only lately has he returned to South Carolina, having obtained thc soldiers for whom ho asked. But the most significant thing io the South Carolina canvass is the attitude of Gen. Hampton toward the negro citizens. A proud man, bred amid all the ruce Crejudices of thc State in which slavery efore the war had its securest footing, accustomed t<> look upon the negroes an his natural inferiors, people to whom to grant favors and from wnotn none could be asked, himself a large slaveholder and the very tyjie of th* aristocratic South Carolinian, Gen. Hampton ia now tra versing the .State, arguing with tho en franchised hincks, arching to still their fears of the results of a Democratic sue? cess in the coming election, nnd solicit ing their votes to tho end that peace and prosperity may again dawn on South Carolina. It is a spectacle well worth the contemplation of all men ?rho doubt the candor of the South In accenting the resulta of the wnr, the citizenship of the hincks, end their entire equality before thc law. Gen. Hampton ia known to the negroes throughout thc State as no other* of the native South Carolinians. Ho is familiar to overy colored citizen, and is respected by them all. We doubt not that in casting away tho prejudices against the negroes fostered by hi) rear* ing under tho conditions which slavery imposed, and in patiently instructing, as he is doing, the black voters ns tn what arc their true interests, he is gathering to his support a largo following of these preriously misled people. One has only to rend Gen. lin m pto n'a speeches, bear ing in mind hi? proud truthfulness, to see how fair, considerate, nnd honorable- his intention? toward tho negroes aro and how sincere his purpose to defend their rights equally with those of their fellow citizens of a lighter skin. Nothing has occurred Hinco, the war which more surely indicates t ho safety of the negroes' privileges as cniranchi-cd mon nod lawful voters, than this CMIVABS of Wade Hampton in South Carolina. It affords happy promise that that plundered ano outraged Statu may this year redeem herself from the thieve? who have rioted on her re sources, nod that tho political division which has hitherto been drawn on the lit.: c r color mp./ bs obliterated.

Xftetn three months iri ( bdnAlit, belong to thc year 1877. , rise t?ralas already arrived when every f. i ? begin t? make bia arrange- j menta for next. year. Plans must bc laid and means for putting these plans into execution must be provided. lu view of nil the facta in the case, it become* every Souther", farmer to consider seriously whether or not it is his duty to .make lome chunge in'the mode of agrie kural operations heretofore practiced in the colton portion of thc South. It is use less to repeat that too much attention has been devoted to producing cotton and too little to rawing provisions. There ia not s farmer in the country who hos not been advoctliag this doctrine for years. Still, but little change has been ma lo in the [iracticc of farmers generally, it is use ess to say that it is the capability of Koo tl--rn ; oil to produce cotton that gives the So'lth ita natural advantage over many sections of the Union, and lt ia the cotton of the 8outh that gives the South ern people power. No more auicidal policy could be adopted by tho South than to abandon the cultivation of cotton. The South, to be prosperous, must raise cotton ; but to raise cotton nod nothing else, is to take tho control of toe cotton crop oat of thc hands of the producer atm put it wholly into the hands of speculators. The true theory respecting tho cultiva tion of cotton, is to mako thc cotton a money crop and nothing oise. In other words, cotton should bc produced for the sole purpose of procuring money w'th which to purchase those things which cannot, on account of soil und climate, be produced in thc South, or which, ou account of a deficiency in natural facili ties, cen not be manufactured in the South. The present is thc proper season of the year to make arrangements for such a change. To ctfect such a change in tho agricultural system of thc South, n chango must bu made in thc extent of Southern agricultural operations. Large farms, it seems to us, must bc divided into a number of small ones. Such a chunge would encourage individual en terprise und infuse energy into a greater number of individuals. Such u chat.^3 would give tho laborer tho alternative io cither starve or work. Now he depends upon thc land-holder, arid seems perfect ly satisfied, provided he gels something to eat, and is absolutely indifferent whether he make? anything or not. Some change, it seems to tis, is de manded, liia burden ot tho laboring class falls open the land-holders, os folly t? If the laborer were an irrational brute. He has no reliance upon himself, und worso than all, he has no self-respect. Both these thlugs are wanting, to a lamentable degree, by a large portion ol tho laboring class of tho Soiilh. The circumstances by- which they are sur rounded, and the manner in which they have hitherto been dealt with, have a tendency to perpetuate this ?tate ol things. The change which the country dc: marida, io order to be prosperous, carino) bo m nd o tn a day nor even in a y cir. Il has, however, to be commenced some time, and thc present ia as fit a time ni any other. The'change may bc inaugu rated by eowing large crops of sinai grain in the fall. It -viii too late to.tull about planting less cotton next spring if no more p.ttmjtiou than usual is dc voted to small grain. When sprint comes it will be cotton or nothing. I tho Southern country could only be prc vailed upon to produce ?is own supplies one half of the average cotton crop wait h soon make the Southern people rich. lt is not wise to complain beforo wt aro hurt; but the indications arc tha 1877 will ho very "similar to 1876.
