Two capitalists in New York take the loan nt seven per cent? payable on the collection of taxes, or at the con venience of tb*? State. No security was required, awi lt o money will bc borrowed entirely on lim credit of the State's honor. This ls still another evidence of j tbc benefits resulting from Democratic i government ir? South Carolins. Tho famous Underwood gang of ma rauders have revived their raids in Louis and Carter Counties in eastern Kentucky, and non' number some two hundred noted desperadoes, who have driven tho farmers from their plantations and are pillaging the country which is sparsely ecttlcd. Thc Governor has ordered a portion of j State militia to the scene of thc riot and will crush it out nu speedily as possible. Some fighting is anticipated, but law and order will be speedily restored. The fence law in occasioning very hunted discussions hi norm- sections of our County, and we regret tu learn that ?uiiic persons are endeavoring to make thc measure n subject of divbinn on thc color linc, and even going so far as to assert that they will maintain thc pres cut fence tiystcin if it requires bayoneta tn do au. They bad as well realise now a? nt some later day that tho bayonet will nu longer bu n factor in thc control of public mensure? in this country. Whatever the ballot box says about this question will bethe law, and wo urge all gund men to frown down thc efforts of any man who seeks to array race against | race. If it is a race question, then all white men ?tight to stand togcthcr but it bas, in our opinion, nothing to do with ince, anil wo will in future publish the proceedings of any assombly which seeks to present n ruco issue out of thc subject, that our people may bo informed onto th i secret workings of tho question. We desire n full, free and fair discussion Let us try to ascertain what is best for thc general good, and then ndopt it. There is no reason for any bitterness, and wo hope there will bc none of it in future. MORE TROUBLE FOR HAYES. The Louisiana Returning Board is still receiving thc attention of thc public. Last week the Grand Jury of one of the Slate Courts in New Orleans found in dictments against J. Madison Wells, T. C. Audei.-um, LOUIB M. Kenner and G. Cnsanave, charging them with having "on the 4th of December, 1876, falsely and feloniously altered and published as tiro tho altered, forged and counterfeited election returns for Presidential electora from th ) parish of Vernon nt tho election of November last by adding 158 votes to each of tho Hayes electors and deducting yi)5 from each of tho Tilden oloetor*. Ball bas been fixed nt $5,000. Cash has boru furnished by Welts nnd Kenner. Anderson and Casan ave will surrender themselves and furnish bond." This in dictment if properly pushed will ao doubt reveal to the public the truo inwardness of the rascalities practiced by this Board, and lay karo tho deformity of Mr. Hayes' title to the Presidency. It is thereforo not to bo wondered at that tho Returning Board President is worried over these in dictments. Tho President thinks, it is said, Ui???i? offenses of thia nature weio condi ?cd by the Foster-Matthews bar gain, but wo imagine ho does r.ot realize tho magnitud? of the offense which is alleged to have been committed, or he could not in?aginejt^?S..cftndoned by a bargain made by some of his friends. Does not tho President know that a I felony cannot be condoned except by the punishment of the criminal, and that if Foster and Mattheus had mttdc any bar gain shielding tho Board from prosecu tion for felony, they could bo prosecuted themselves for compounding a felony? Mr. Hayes has reason to believe from tho submission cf our pcoplo to his usurpa tion that the country ia prepared to stand almost anything, but such barefaced im pudence as saying that such crimes as J this Board aro charged with was con doned to make bim President, and there to ro Hie perpetrators should not be prose- ! culed, is not calculated to inspire the country with any high regard for his in tegrity. Mr. Hayes received the Presi dency, tho most precious pieco of official property owned by our people, knowing that it had'been stolen from tho persons chosen by tho suffrages of nur nntinrj, and now objects, to tho prosecution of the thieves, who it is aileged atolo the office for bim. Ho .ia a pretty reformer, and deserves tho ruppert of all who can pocket their principles to pay tribute at tho shrine of euccessful rascality. It ia generally believed that If tho j prosecution is successful in convicting j tho members of the Returning Board on this indictment, Mr. Stanley'Matthews, thu new administration Senator from Ohio, and John Shcrrr.bG, Secretary of the Treasury, in Hayes' Cabinet, will be indicted for subornation of perjury, and for aiding and abetting: fraud. There is l said to bo very littlo doubt of ?he con viction of tho Board, for numerous wit ness? are present to prove the charges, and the afluir is creating the profoundest anxiety in administration circles. Wells has written letters tb Washing ton, threatening full exposure unless bo 1 is saved from punishment, and nothing can be obtained from the prosecuting at torney ns to thn couran ha will p*S5!!e, but it is expected that a member of the : rcturnirsg-beard wilt tum State's evidence and divulge the fact that they we?e ad vi?/ lo pursue the corpse they did by some bf tho visiting statesmen, ?cot to j Nww Orleans by President vi rant Should thing? take this torn Mr. Hayos j will hardly be euabled io rctrdp the Presi dency, and thc death1 knell of Rcpnbll can ism will be sounded at no distant doy. Tho country helices ibero was fraud, ? tt^e PtCild^nt knew of it, but If 'd be confirmed by A oi a cc* t ofiuftUec, the dtscon pcoplo would assnme th? ?ro ?cr?cfct tornado of wfAth to : inland towards every tiy or indirectly a upon our re be watched by anxiety. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. Russia bas met with a decided chock in her progress through Armenla by an army of tho Turka passing secretly through Persian territory, which ts ttcu tral ground, and surprising the Russian forces by au unlooked for attack In the rear. The result has unsettled all of the Russian platts for operations in Asiatic Turkey, and tho invading army ia now in thc fortified camps awaiting reinforce ments. In the meantime thc Ottoman forces are becoming inspired by their successful maneuver, und it in probable they will worry this portion of their ene my's army vory considerably.. The Sul tan is withdrawing his forces fro?? Mca ? tenegro, which will add an additional sixty thousand to the army opposing Russia. On the Danube very little has been achieved by thc Csar'aarmy. Only about one hundred and twenty thousand Ruwiacs have crossed the Danube, and tho Turka hove been aucccasful in de feating several efforts for ?, further creas ing, while thoso already over have been ? unable to gain any decided advantage. Thia .state of thinga results from over confid?nco on the part of the Ruuiaus. Thoy were out-generulcd in Armenia and foiled upon tho Danube, hence wc do not anticip?t? ny veiy nctivc movements ii util thej have bud some weeks to re cover from these reverses. The portion of the Russiana in both Armenia and on the Danube ia a safe one, and hence thc principal object gained by the ^urk? ?M a delay in the advance, which will throw the campaign so far into thc Bummer as to place thc Russians under great diitad vantage? in auch u warm climate a? that of Turkey. It ia, therefore, not improba ble that there will be very little hard fighting before noxt fall. The great Southern hater, James O. Iilainc, Senator from Maine, was one of tho oratora at Woodstock, Connecticut, on tho fourth of July, and thc fury of hi? .. rath wa?, as ini^^i. have been ex pectcd, poured out upon the South. He opposed tho annexation of any portion of Mexico, because he feared it would go with thc South, and favored tho annex ation of portions of Canudo, becatMC it would go with thc North in politics. Wo agree with him that ho part of Mexico ought to be annexed, but our reason ia that we fear it would fall under the control of the corrupt carpct-bnggcra who Mr. Blaino would fain have contin ued in power down South. Ilia Canada r?beme has no probability ncr life in it, and thereforo bia remarks upon it were simply the effusion of his ganious brain. The true intent of thc speech was to atrike tho President a blow by inducing tho belief that hin course waa working advantage to tho South. Mr. Maine ia one of tho old Republican stagers who is unable to learn that the war has ended, and hence ho continually croaks about sectional divisions. Ho and Chamber lain aro doing good work in breaking down Republicanism in tho na.'ion, and we hope they will canvass tho whole country upon tho issues they are at present urging. FEDERAL EELATJUNK. Judge Cooko has taken a high and commendable, position upon tho subject of State and Federal jurisdiction in bis charge to the Grund Jury at Grconvillo during tho late Court. Wo congratulate the Judgo upon asserting tho rights of the States, and hops thia manly express ion on hie part will bo rigidly enforced. The Judge said : GENTLEMEN OF T?>.E JURY: It is Sroper that your attention should bo irestcd to ino manner in which it is aaid tho internal revenue laws of the general government are being enforced by her subordinate officers to tho great oppression and outrage of many or tho citizens of thb State. I koonipo?'\V?i'Ji?i jorJii'&cfosrgQ. so generally made by al most the entire press of tho State, be true o? not ; of thia it is your dutv to inquire, ana presentment make. Tho peace of society demands no less of your body. These officers of tha government, be lieving that when proceeded against foi violations of the State laws, they CAW move their cases into tho United State; Court, and go unwHipped, of justice, have no doubt grown reckless as to how they discharge their duties, BB well as embol dened to oppress ana outrage the citizen, If upon investigation you should find this charge sustained, you will preacul all persons who may have engaged in oppressing your people, and i undertake to say two very important things will bi accomplished. First, this class of United States officers will soon learn they cannot longer violate the State law with impuni ty. Secondly, that they will bo tried it the State courts regardless of the act o Congre?, which authorizes them to trans fer weir case to tho United Stcteo courts In saying this, I am sot unmindful o my oath -ol' office, co wit: That ? recog nize the supremacy of tho constitutioi ana laws of the United States over th constitution and laws pf any State.

JUDGE CARPENTER RESIGNS. .TiitW p.. ?. Csrpcr.t?r wr?lea ?rora Washington a tetter lo Governor Hamp tow rwlgnlng the Judgeship of the Fifth Circuits He claims the legal title to the office, and expresses the belief fiat his administration of the taw was acceptable to the people of his Circuit, but resigns because bc docs not wish to preside over a peoplo who do not wish him to be their Judge, and bccnur.c bc docs not desire to produce any discord lu this State. This is a new role for Carpenter to play in, and every one easily perceives his object. He is an applicant for thu position of District Attorney ol'.South Carolina, and this letter with its apparent fair tone is intended to induce Ute President to look upon him as a persecuted but magnani mous Republican. He is too well known in this State for this letter to induce any support from our people. The idea of bis desiring to suppress discord is quite amusing, for he has shown himself to be tho very embodiment of that quality. Again, if Judge Carpenter claims to bc Judge, and bad learned of thc action of the Legislature through the papers, we would like to know why he was neglect ing bis duly by absenting himself from the State at thc time of Edgefleld and Richland Courts? The truth is Carpen ter knew he was properly deposed from a public office which he had no right to, and he also knew that the rejoicing of the people was not only for the high character of Judge Kershaw, but also for tho great riddance tuey secured in his removal. Carpenter's letter is as fol? lows : WAMHIN?JTON, D. C., June 30,1877. T? hia Excellency Wade Hampton, (hir er nor of South Carolina: Sin-I have received In for mat iou through thc public press that thc Legis lature of South Carolina have resolved that my election tut Circuit Judge of the Fifth Circuit by tho tjcgl datUre preced ing was invalid, und have proceeded to elect a successor in consequence of thc vacancy thus created. As I was elected hy the concurrent and unanimous vote of both Democrats mid Republicans; ns my administration of Justice while I held this high and respon sible office has received the warm, and I have a right to believe, the genuine com mendation of thc learned and able bars of the two circuit? over which for some years I have presided, and as the resolu tion of tho Legislature distinctly alleges a legal informality as thc only ground of its action, I am permitted to believe that no personal charge affecting either thc Eunty or ability with which my duties ave been performed is implied in this removal. I am aware that in the conscientious discbarge of these duties it has been my fortune to difTer with tho public convic tions of the now dominant party upon certain questions where both tue interests and passions of tho people wero deeply excited, and I can understand their im patience nt differences which seemed to interpose technical obstacles to thc com plete results of n long sought and hard won political victory. I also appreciate and even sympathize in the pride und pleasure with which the people nave welcomed the able and con scientious gentleman who has succeeded me. I cannot, however, acquiesce iu the correctness of thia novel construction of tho organic law ; a construction which involves the abrogation of a plain man date ef thc constitution by u ucpariment of tho government inhibited in express terms by that instrument from all cogni sance of the subject, und which does not seem to have suggested itself lo either the General Assembly or tho courts until a supposed political necessity rendered it expedient; norean I recognize tho pro priety of a decision made by a tribunal void of jurisdiction, and whose action without impugning its integrity is cer tainly partisan. I believe that I am still the Judea of th? Fifth Circuit cf the .5tate ofpouth Carolina, and that my successor is exercising an illegal and usurped authority. But as I have no leelre to administer thc laws of the peo- ' pie who do not desire me, and ns 1 nave \ no intention to fur.'^h a cause of discord, [ place in your bands my formal resigna- ' lion as Judge of tba Filth Judicial Cir rtirfrof South CifcNijpa. 1 I know that there rMB^thoso to whom , bis proceeding will appear absurd, but I ; lave had too large an experience of tho j bar and peoplo of the State, too long be lieved in tho omnipotence of truth, and i the ultimate triumph of public justice : not to feel assured that tho timo will ? some when tho propriety of my action will be recognized end the peoplo arrive ' it the conclusion that the only guarantee Tor order, peaco and prosperity ia a judi- ' :iary just and bravo enough to resist not inly the passions of tho people, but tho ; inconsiderate and illegal ration of the jther departments of tho government. I am, sir, very respectfully, your moat obedient servant, R. B. CARPENTER.

Chamberlain, who has recently abandoned bia home in thia State and taken up bia domicil in Nen York, delivered a Fourth of Jilly oration at Woodstock, Connecticut, of which we give tho substance below? In thia speech it will he seen that the carpet-bagger lt very aevtre in hit* condemnation of tht President} and thc demonstration which followed bia ?peech alie*? that the Re publican party ia barely dividen, for thc President of the meeti lg ?tated that ht did not agree with Mr. Chamberlain, nm culled for three cheers Tor the President which wcro readily given by the crowd and thia waa followed by three cheers foi Mr. Chamberlain. Home Democrnth pupers arc criticising Mr. Chumberlait for thia apeech, but we fail to pcrccivi that it ?B any concern of ours, for tin aplitting up of thc Republican party ia i desirable thing for the Democracy, nut wc should assume the position of looker on at tho contest, in order to let tin breach be os complete and extended ni possible. It ia w?ten that a house di vided nguinst Itself must fall, and a? th? Republican house is divided, if tin Democracy will only aland together, wi shall reap the benefits flowing from tin inevitable fall of Republicanism. Mr Chamberlain is unintentionally doinj good service for the Democracy, for bj weakening Hayes bc increases tin chances of the Democratic party. Tin following is a synopsis of his apeech : He plunged at once into "thc groa public question with ?'hieb it has beti my fortune recently to bc connected,' disclaimed having "any private- grieJi to present," and declared that he apofci "fr<?m a profound sen??? of duty," and "too, because others do not." To th? auestion why he attacks President Hayna . outherii policy now when it is irrem a bio, and attacks upon it will distract tin party, he answered that "it ... thc simph dictate alike ol duty and honor to opposi and attack those who are betraying thi party which has trusted them." Comitif then "to discuss n presidential policy,' he pronounced such a policy "an anom nly and ?rlense," savoring of bad fniti and having "a native ind historical odoi of treachery and intrigue." He charac terned that policy as consisting in "tin abandonment ol' Southern Republicans and especially thc colored race, to thc control and rule of that class at thc ?South whoso traditions, principles and histor) are opposed to every ?tcp ami feature ol what Republicans call our national pro gress ?ince I860 ;" and "in thc proclama tion to the country ami tho world thal thc will of the majority of the voters of a State, lawfully and regularly expressed, is no longer the ruling power in oui States, and that thc- constitutional guarantee to every State in this Union of a Republican form of government and of protectio.'i against domestic violence, is henceforth ineffectual and worthless." (hiv. Chamberlain then recalled thc facts of the Louisiana situation when President Hayes assumed his office, to eh Ow that he found the Packard State government "complete in its organiza tion, unquestionable in its solidity, ex 0??>t upon grounds which directly and c/lally impeached the validity of his own title that thia regular government was menaced by domestic violence in precisely tho way required not only to justify but to demand the interference of tho President to protect that government by the military forces of ibo United States. Ho then ieviewed at length and with force the familiar argument tor this view of the case, drawn from thc section of tho constitution which provides that the Un'tcd States shall guarantee to every Stato a republican form of govern ment and protect it against domestic valence ; the act of 1795 authorising the President to call out the militia for thie purpose ; and thc decision of Chief Jus tice Taney in the Rhode Island case thal by this act the power of deciding whetbci tho exigency had nrisen upon which th? government of the United ?tates is bonne to interfere, ia givr a to the President. Having thus shown what the Presi dent ought to have donc? he reviews hi: actual course. "Assuming the right t< preservo the peace in Louisiana by thc military forces of thc United States pend ing Iiis negotiation?, a right the exercise ai which was a bold and flagrant usurpa lion unless derived from the duty whict he was at the very moment refusing tc perform, he enters upon negotiation: witli tboso who by armed violence enc in military array aro menacing tbi lawful government of the State. Sir, J have ."-cen the hot indignation of out raged patriotism poured upon tho weal ola man in who.se feeble hands the grea rebellion found tho nnwer? bf this gov crnmcnt in 1860, because he treated witl tbe leaders and agents cf that rebellioi and could find no warrant in tho conati lotion for 'coercing a State.' I couh frame on excuso for James Buchanan He was the decaying fruit of half a cen tury of Northern subservience to South ern dictation, tho poor dregs of a worn out politician whose life hod been anon in cowering submission tc the will c those whom ho was now called to con front. But what ahall be aaid of thi President, educated by the events of th last .seventeen years-tho long and peril ous struggle to save the nation to free ?l<iro and justice-the representative of Early whose life and inspiration in ever our of its existence hns been politic! justice and freedom for ali American cit zens-a President who had literall climbed to his high scat over tho dca bodies of hundreds of loyal mon in Lot isiann, who had met death in forms ft moro terrible than any battle-field I order thnt the liberty of which they hu tasted might bo kept for their children James Buchanan could atty ho negotiate with thoso who were in arms against tl United States, in order that ho might 1 peaceful agencies preservo the integri of the Union and avert a fratricidal wa This President enters upon his negoti tiona with thoso who are in arms again tho lawful government of Louiaiana, order that hn might tho more surely b tray tho friends who had truated him ai the cause he waa sworn to uphold." Qov. Chamberlain then considered t! ?)-.i??it?rn nWiia? ?herc T"- r.uch "C, rhealic violence" in Louisiana aa requir the President's interference, of com contending that thcro was, and declnr that "enough has now been presented warrant tho conclusion that Preside Hayes' action toward tho State of Lc isiann was a plain ami palpable dbrcga of tho rights of that State under the co etitution, and of the duty imposed by t constitution upon the President or t United States." He explained that bad take? the LcuisisTm ?iso because facts were clearer than those of the Sou Carolina one, though he regarded t legality of his government m the lat State as perfect, and "therefore regt the action of the President toward Sot Carolina with the same disapproval a? regard his action toward Louisiana." "Wo have now seen," he continu "what are the features of what is v? called Pr?sident Hayes* Southern poli I ask no one to go with mo further tl the arguments which I present sh fairly carry him. For myself, I ti leave to denounce it, here and now, unconstitutional and revolutionary, si varsivo of constitutional guarantees i fake to every dictate of political hoi public justice, and good morals. Th is no point, feature or form of this pol that has support in a fair construction the constitution, or as honest view pf (acts which are involved ; wi I bell li requires oily ia careful nxamioaM uniruuenced by /uawkUh sentiment the cowardice which shrinks from nt larHittr lim K}Md"ci r;:;.", v.'!'..-, "S? . . - o *. ? ?v***?*?vw . \JIMV TI a*/ jinn chosen by our own paiiy. to convince all who have ever sympathized with the principles of tho Republican party that such a pol: y deserves, upon all legal and constitutional grounds, the condem nation whlcn I have pronounced upon it. "Hut when we look further and inquire what other defenses of this policy ar? of fered, wc are loft In a mane of eubtcrAiges. contradictions, falsehoods, fallacies mid inanities. Conspicuous in this list is the claim made hy tue President himself and echoed by his defender??, that this presi dential policy is in accord with the plat form of the Republican party, with the President's letter of acceptance, and with his khowi; view? at. the time of his nomi nation and during tho canvass. I call this the chief of subterfuges, if not of falsehoods. I confess ? ca Jtiot under stand or measure thc audacity which prompt-, such a claim. When, where, by I whom, before the nomination, or after it during the canvass or during the long agony of suspense which succeeded the canvass, will you find from President Hayes or any representative of him or of the Republicau party, high or low, a hint of ?tien a policy ? ft cannot bc found. Never till tue country heard with amaze ment thc ft~st whisperings of the ihfchin at ions of Stanley Matthews and the Ohio clique who stood nearest the President, the basest r assagc I have ever read in our political history,-did any portion of thc 'public or of thc Republican party imagine that the President would enter upon such a policy or course of action. It is impossible to overstate this general fact. Especially is it impossible to over state thu deliberate, long-continued, iin rcmitted efTorts, made at every stage of the struggle from November 7 to March 4, to inspire thc Southern Republicans with fidelity to thc Republican cause. If doubts arose, with electri'.' speed came nev assurances that Hayes, if elected, wt uld vindicate thc rights of those who were fighting his battles at the South. Is t'.ic despicable suggestion herc made that President Huyes knew nothing of all this? Sii, it is incredible. He did know it; and he stood by, willing to seo men risk ing, by day and by night, for mouths which seemed longer than years, their lives ; av, losing their lives hy hundreds, to lift bim to thc Presidency, upon lying assurances, if what he now says bc true, that he would protect and rescue them by the great powers of tho office he should receive. Every man who stood near to thc President, every man whom the pub lic had a right to regard as his faithful representative, joined in these assurances -assurances which carried no doubtful meaning-assurances which meant to tho beleaguered omi fainting soldiers on those outposts of freedom, that succor and help would come if only they defended to the lost, tho ground which they had won. Sir, when 1 think of these things, my heart grows hot with indignation, and a curse comes unbidden to my Hps. for thc men who thus played with thc blood of brave men and women as the gambler plays with- his dice. Such treachery passes my comprehension. I slum'J ex {lect that those who engaged in it would lear echoes like those which greeted the ears of thc terrified Alonzo when all na ture seemed breaking into voice to herald his crime : O, lt is monstrous ! monstrous ! Methought thc butoirs ?poke and told me of it ; Tho Wieds did sii.? lt to inc ; and tho thunder, That deep and dreadful orp-.n-pi ti", pronounced The name of Trosper. It did has? my trespass. "Noj fellow-citizens, I know not how long his policy may have been meditated in thc secrecy of the President's own mind. I do know that he did not hint it, '-e would not have dared to hint it to tho country, at any hour from the timo he was a nascent candidate for his nomi nation till he sat in tho seat of the Presi dent," Gov. Chamberlain next took up the claim that the President is only carrying out the Republican platform, which pro claims the permanent pacification of the South to bo a great duty of the party, ex Slains that he wrote that section himself, celares that everybody knows that "tho unanimous voice of the convention was for the 'immediate and vigorous exercise' of all the powers of the government in repressing violence and protecting the rights of every man nt tho South, and indulges in this reminiscence in jproof: "The committee on resolutions at Cincin nati, composed of one member from each State, met for conference and discussion After remaining in session till a late uour, it was determined to appoint a small sub committee, to whom should be intrusted the work of preparing a platform to bc submitted to the whole committee on tho following morning. I had the honor to be named upon the sub-committee, and I well remember that the venerable Col. Richard W. Thompson of Indiana, now the secretary of the navy, just as the sub committee were withdrawing to enter upon their work, said : 'Gentlemen, I. have attended ten consecutive national conventions, and I must leave this work to younger men ; but let me say one word to you who are on the sub-committee. We must win in this fight. Deal cau tiously with t~w currencyquestion. Give us something, if necessary, on civil ser vice. Satisfy our Pacific friends, if you can, on tho Chinese question. But on tho Southern question let our Southern friends (turning toward me) have anything they icanl. My people, and the people of tho West, want Southern Republicans, white and bl nek. protected, and they want an end put finally to thc violence and lawlessness which exists at the South.' " Gov. Chamberlain equally denied that ?ho President's letter of acceptance fore shadowed his policy, aud in proof ap pealed to every man who has any knowl edge of tho Hnirit omi tone of the cam paign. "I appeal to tho President's own vietrs, expressed often and to ninny per sons, that it was the Southern question and the Republican doctrine of completo protection to all men at thc South, which was the foremost issue in the canvass, the ?besti?n upon which the party must rely or success. And when tho canvass was ended, and defeat was believed to have como to our party, tho words of tho Pres ident, ?he only words of President Hnyes which ever really touched the heart of tho country, were expression? of regret that the result must bo so disastrous to the colored race at the South and to Southern Republicans. I need not tell you, fellow, citizens, how deeply those words touched the hearts of tnoso of us who stood on those perilous outposts. And I need not say to you that a great er defeat than tho election of Tihlnn hn* come upon us, a defeat at the bands of our friends, a defeat which has degraded and demoralized tho Republican party in all its ranks-a fatal and immedicable wound which no enemy cou'n have in flicted. "But we have heard another excuse urged for tho President's policy, ono which for a time was often in tho Presi dent's mouth-that his policy was exper imental, tentative, and if it did not work well it could be abandoned and revc-ioc-d. Was over before such transparent folly and hypocrisy presented to this people as a serious argument? It was manifestly Sut forth to deceive and beguile Until the ecd was accomplished. Doubtless it served its purpose. It has already been abandoned. No step taken by tho Presi dent can bo reversed. No ground sur rendered can bo recovered. Henceforth South Caiolina and Louisiana aro as firm ly linked with tho "solid 8outh,-* in all Its political fortunes, as Kentucky or Geor gia." The speaker next took up the pleas that Haves was justified in his pol ic v bc cause Grant bad failed in another, pro te-stcd that Grant's success or failure bod nothing to do with Hayes' duty, declai.d that he couldn't toll what Grant's policy was, so different was his course nt differ ent times, but held that "whenever dur ing his eight years of service President Grant firmly executed tho laws and up hold the lawful governments of the South ern States, political success was the result. ?fr Wbcucrer, as in Miaaisabi, malign in ?_......_i us_?" 24?!? rv,.... I-. duty, defeat, lasting, comete defeat, was . the result." Gov. Char ^rlaln concdcd as foliov.s: A political . ty, fcllowititt?ns, whick cannot bear tfcat in om polttlcal war? fare has little vitality, Jip claim to pub lic confidence. But ni, knowledge of political history gives intno example of a party strong enough i long survive cithe.r'tho abandonment . ?ta principes or timid and time-servin acquiescence in thc treachery of ita lelcrs. Such is the attitude, in'my judgncnt, of thc Re publican party to-day, .Whoever has watched the course of theresent admin istration hus aeon thc ^moralization which alway? artemis thoihandonmcnt of principles spreading Uotigh all tho channels and activities of ti government. Look at civ'l-scrvicc ret)m-a policy vital, fundamental-a poli; which means the absolute freedom of a tho servants of'Jic gov noient, excep t?ic very few who diatiticUveiy and nuysaarily repre sent tho political opinioi of the party charged with the adminstition, from all allegiance tc, or connectio with, thc po litical fortunes of any pay ; the ?elec tion of such servants witleyca b.uid to thc political opinions of tbse who arc to serve the government. Iii? is the re form to which thc admin tration stands peculiarly pledged. Hast entered upon it? Has" it shown a caprity or purpose to execute it ? Nb j theiicccssities im posed upon the ndiuhlistition in its ef forts to buy thc support or silence the opposition of partisan .ade.s to thc Southern policy has nicely defrauded uso! this reform. I aili as a proposi tion which rests on accur.e observation, that to this hour offices hac been granted or refused, conferred or tacn away, with a? much regard to politic! ends ny the present administration ai by President (inuit during any portion fbi? adminis tration; and, I will not jrbcar to add, with far less honorable rothes. Mark the appreciation ? thc principles of civil-service reform, whe you near it announced that eight yura of service give? a right to thc Prcaicut to remove thc most faithful officer! Or again, when you see the Secretar of thc Treas ury devoting bia mind t thc elevated work of removing, with.ut regard to other causes, all but one ola family I Look next at thc rclatima of thia Lid ministration to thc prcscit financial is sues. President Huye* las heretofore entitled himself to thc couidenceof hon est men by his course on .bia question. Nothing, ?ir, but thc iiec&jUy of gaining support for his Southern, policy could have induced him to contemplate an al liance with the silver conqiraey -a con spiracy which regards silver with favor only because it baa lost at virtue aa a standard of value, and, as > currency, is cheaper than greenbacks. It is thc in herent and unavoidable weakness of his present position, thc effect o'bia wretched Southern policy, that ho oust c nciliate an outraged party, so far m poss.-de, by yielding now to tho dcoaud for the spoils," and now to the demand for "cheap" moncv. Again, the Republican party, by all its recent platforms, is pledged to oppose the grant of subsidies to pr.vate corpora tions. Yet no man, who io-day ?nowa anything of tho currents and influences which are gathering at Mashington, is ignorant of the fact that t vast scheme is steadily maturing, unopposed-if not favored-by thia administration, which aims to take from our public domain and our public treasury untold subsidies to build a Southern Pacific rai way, a rail way for which there ia no prosent public need, and from which private capitalists would shrink with conten??'.. In tho train of this gigantic effort at public robbery will como thc revival of tho de funct Northern Pacific, the building of levees on the Miaaiasippi, a.id kindred schemes sufficient to again corrupt tho morals and blast the prosperity of tho whole country. And all this is the price which must bo paid for the privilege of overthrowing two lav;Ail State govern ments and trampling upon the principle upon which our governments and institu tions rest-the rule of the majority I Sir, there are laws of moral cause and effect as true and certain as any physical laws. No political leader, no political party, can forfeit honor or desert pinci plcs at ono point and maintain them at others. Integrity is indivisible. You cannot bc dishonest on ono subject and honest on others. Thc President's South ern policy concei ved in bia own mind, a shock and offense to his party, reckless of justice and constitutional duty-if unop posed-will more and more weaken the moral bonds which have hitherto, in spite of all its failings, secured to tho Repub lican party the confidence of a majority of thc most intelligent and prtriotic Americans for moro thau 20 years. - A large number of crates of elegant Carolina peaches are daily being shipped direct to New York by the Southern ex press Company-tho company having made special rates for thc accommodation of fruit growera, which enables them to put their fruit in the New York market in forty-two boura after the crates ?eave Columbia. Wo arc glad to seo this, and hope to see a large trade done in this way. It has ofton been a cause of won derment to us why more attention had not been given to tho cultivation of fine fruits around Columbia, as wo know there is a perfect gold mine in tho business. In our limited experience, wc havo seen biting frosts como after tho peach trees were in bloom, and yet aeon a fine crop of fruit the following summer. Unicas wc aro greatly mistaken, this was the case last spring. With a soil that will pro duce everything that will grow anywncro ebio in America, if properly cultivated, and a climate unsurpassed in ?ho United States, thero is no reason why thia section of tho State should not produce thu finest fruit, and an abundance of it, overy year Georgia nud Carolina peaches bring fab ulous price in tho North for tho ?implo reason that they aro in the market so much earlier than the Maryland, Vir ginia and Jersey fruit.
