Every citizen should go to the polls on next Tuesday and vote the Democratic ticket straight through, from Governor down to School Commissioner. If the Democratic party is ever de stroyed in South Carolina it will he hy Democrats fulling out and fighting among themselves. Let us, therefore, in An derson County remain true to our party, and by voting solidly for its nominee?, help to continuo its influence ami con trol over tho government of our Stite. If Anderson County should BIIOW a revival of thc Independent spirit by any disaffection from the nominees of the party at this time, it would prove very disastrous to tho Democratic party, and to tho best interests of the whole State. Every Democrat ought, for the sake of his party, to vote tho straight Democratic ticket on next Tuesday, ami volo the whole of it. Wo notice in the News and Courier that Hugh Kane, ono of tho notorious Lathi murderers, was nrrested in Charles ton on last Saturday for fighting in the City Hall Square, and token to the Guard House, whore ho was released on boil. It will be recollected that Kane was wrested by tho United States au thorities from thc Stato, and taken into custody by tho United States Marshal. Kane is charged with murder, he has had no trial, and yet he is at liberty and found fighting in tho streets of Charles ton. Redmond, the alleged trafficker in ardent Bpirits in, without trial, declared an outlaw, and Kane, ono of tho alleged murd?;ar,?- of young Ladd ie, without trial, Bet at liberty, and this by one o? tho best governments tho world oversaw. The contrast does not speak well for the administration of law and justice by tho Federal authorities. The difficulty which existed in Hamp ton County, growing out of the candidacy of Maj. Warren and Coi. Moot e for the State 8cnate. and which at one time threatened to divido tho Democracy o? that County and insure a Radical suc cess, has been happily adjusted, tho Democrats re-united and ?heir success rendered certain. Maj.. Warren with drew from tho contest, l?aving Col. Mooro tho undirputed Domocratic can didate for the Senate. Maj. Warren not only withdrew from tho contest to pre vent division in tho party, but now to insure the success of his party warmly advocates the elsction of his opponent. By this action ho lins mado self subser vient to party ; ambition to the triumph of principio, and ho will receive the com mendation of every true Democrat. If the true spirit of Democracy which ani mated Maj. Warren and his friends, ani mated all political aspirants and their friends, Democratic rule would not only be attained but perpetuated. The arrest of citizens of this State by the United States for alleged violations of Sections 5,608 and 5,520 of the United States Statutes still continues. Sixteen citizens of Williamsburg were arrested last week upon affidavits mado mostly by ignorant negroes, carried boforo a United States Commissioner and bailed for their appearance at the next term of ile Uni ted States Court. Tho objects of these nrrft*ta. it horotnfnrn oiynrna\arl ia nnt* apparent. It is to influence the present election in Sumter, Williamsburg and other counties, and to revive in the North hatred and ill-will to the South by the report of Southern outrages, and . thus influence the election in Northern States, and pave the way for the Presi dential election in 1880. Tho difficult; is that bad mon, such as Lee of Sumter, and Swails of Williamsburg, go to Wash ington and thc sdcicistratiss lend sn ?ar to their outrageous stories, and act opon them as if true ; that false affi davits are made by ignorant negroes in culpating those whom they dislike, and all this prompted by corrupt party lead ers for party purposes. Tho Courts of the State protect the humblest negro in his rights, and if those rights were as sailed in Sumter and Williamsburg as alleged, these Courts afford ampio pro tection and redress; but the United States' Court wal resorted ?o for tho sim ple reason that protection and redress was not the object in view, but political capital for Northern climes where the troth could not be ascertained. -A ?H>b b?<?^* oban th A jail at Mount Vernon, Ohio, ono night last week, took out four nogroes and hung them in the j-ii y?rd. Anothcr-wos quartered in his cell, after his throat was cut. And yet wo have beard no call for troops. They b?d hefln guilty of ? gross outrago upon four Htliogms. AN INDEPENDENT. Such hos lircn the general public de testation of ?ill attempts to distract and divide the Democratic party of the Stair by Independent candidates placing them* Helves itt direct antagonism to the ex pressed will of the party, that we know of but a single professed Democrat who has announced himself a candidate in violation of the will of the party. Hon. James I*. C?'?"1,<?u, of Charleston, hav ing failed to receive the nomination for the State Senate from thc Democratic Convention, announced himself as an Independent candidate, ami a few days afterwards wa?, hy acclamation, unani mously nominated for the Senate hy the Radical Convention, with Bowen and Mackey at its head. \?'o must express our profound astonishment at the pus" tion which Mr. Campbell now occupies. He was just after the war elected United States Senator, and for thc last two years was in the State Senate. His position is so anomalous that he has lost thc confi dence of thc Democrats, and the Radicals ill uso him only so far as they can through him injure thc Democrats and advance their own corrupt party, after which they will cast him off and leave him in nil thc glory of hit independence, without any party to regard or fear him. He ha.i dug his political grave. The man who in this critical period of our State's final redemption seeks to foment division in the Democratic party, because he is not the nominee, and relies upon Radical votes for his elcct'on, will lind that he has committed thc great irre trievable error of his life, and that HO parly in the future will trust him. The election of Mr. Campbell will be the de feat of tho Democratic and thc success ol the Radical party. The Radicals nomi na ted him not because he was their choice for Senator, but because they hoped that his candidacy would divid? and weaken the Democrats, and enable them to elect their ticket to thc House. Wc do not censure the Radicals for the nomination, They knew"that it was thc best they could do to promote tin success of their party, and that if thc move should be Kiicccssful, it would he the beginning which, if tolerated by the Democrats, would certainly give the State in 18S0 lo the Radicals. But what shall wo say of thc Democrat who, upon thi eve of one of tho most important pol ?ti cal battles ever decided at the polls, du serts his part;- gives aid anti com for. to thu enemy, and gathers around him their dusky and drunken hordes, that he may defeat the regular nominee of his party and gratify his ambition at tho expense of his parly and the best interest of th whole State? This we know, that he should go to the Radicals where lie proj erly belongs, and bo numbered by all the respectable people of the Slate as one of them, for then Ito would be deprived of his power for mischief in thc parly, and as harmless Wi (Jowell and Mackey to ?n Quciice the hilliest and intelligent masses of tho Slate. The independent candidacy of Mr. Campbell is an injury lo tho Democracy of the whole State, and his election would prove a great misfortune to thc j people of Charleston. Charleston is the chief sea port city of the" State, and as such should bo the prido of every true Carolinian. The interests of Charleston and the whole State, whether political, financial or commercial, are mutual and identical. Her commercial relations j with tte werld should stimulate the agri cultural interests of the country, and these should build up and establish the supremacy of her commerce Mr. Camp bell, if elected, can do nothing for Charleston. His position in the Senate will bo an isolated one. The Radicals ill uso him only so far as they cnn pro mote their partisan ends, and ho will have lost his influence with the Demo 5, As Independent, arrayed agu i list his party, ho could not expect tile cordial and confidential political re lations with tho majorities of thc two Houses of tho Legislatura which tho in terests of Charleston demand, and which are so necessary to Charleston in shaping the legislation of the State. EUROPEAN COMPLICATIONS. If the despatches from Vienna pub lished in the London Standard are true, thc trcr ,y of Berlin has utterly failed to settle the questions which have agitated and threatened tho peace of Europo for tho last half century, and Europe stands lo-day upon tho verge of a great war in which will bo involved tho principal powers as well as certain Asiatic States. That Russia failed to receive a recom pon ce for her outlay in money and loss of :fo in her wnr with Turkey by tho Ircaty of Berlin is true, and other Euro pean powers, especially England, rccog nizing this and the immenso resources of j Russia, fear that Russia has ulterior de signs, and that nothing less than thc stipulations of tho treaty of San Stefano w?li satisfy her. Tho political situation in Southern Europo and Asia at present | threaten tho peace of nations. England lias collected a largo forco south of j A f?b?s??*?c zT.l Ru.--5"!? os tho north England designs tbo conquest of tho j country, nnd it is expected that ?ho will soon declaro war against the Ameer ana take possession of the Southern part of j the country ; if so, Russia will take the Northern part, and theso two armies soon como in conflict. Can tho conflict be coralncd to Arda or will it involve the whole of Europo? Tho situation in Eu rope is as critical as in Asia. Russia re f?aCA to ?v?c?nie inc Dobruschn, andris collecting an immenso forco on the lilies, especially the strong strategical points, o? Mio late conflict. Tho evident design of Austria, Turkey and England is to circumscribe the power of Russia and de prive her of tho fruits of her costly and hard won victories. It can scarcely bo expected that such a power as Russia will submit to this, and if she fails to se cura by diplomacy the fruits of the late war to which her victories entitled her. it is not at all improbable that abo wit! again appeal to arms to secure her just rights of conquest. It is to be hopfd that tho conflicting interesta of European powers will bo peaceably adjusted, but if war rv auld come it will result from tho ambition of Austria, the faithlessness ol the Turks, and the intrigues of England. . ? mm, , . -- A inmuy ot emigrann? on tho wity to Texas camped overnight in Bedalia, Mo. In the morning tho man packed all thc things lu tho wagon to continue the journey, except bia aged mother-in-law. whom he loft at tho side of tho road. Howevor, a mob compelled him "?taire ht r t lung. M)XT TUESDAY. Every citizen ol thc Stute owes it to himself and posterity to give next Tues day to the State and the caine of good government. Ail work should be sus pended, and each ono feel that the suc cess of Democratic principles depended upon his vote being cast ami his personal exertions at tho polls. Lot no one re main nt horne. Thc ballot box is the palladium of liberty, ami our only hope of an intelligent and honest admiration of tlie State and Federal government?. The cleetion of our State, Congressional and County tickets by a bare majority is not enough, they should bc KO large as to overwhelm thc Radicals, and to teach all Independent? that when the Democ racy speak through their conventions and primary elections, it is thc voice of the party and not of a faction, and that those who ?lo not heed it will he swept before thc popular indignation as chair before the whirlwind. THE POLLS. On next Tuesday tho polls will bc opened at G o'clock a. m. and closed at <> o'clock p. m. Wc urge upon Democratic voters the necessity of being at the polls when opened and remaining Until they are closed. More can bc accomplished in swelling our majorities on the day of election with thc colored people than at any previous time. Apathy on thc part of the people will assuredly lend to di minished majorities in this County, and have a depressing influence on thc Dem ocratic cause throughout the State, and lead to future complications which may prove most disastrous. A hearty sup port of thc ticket, thc whole ticket, without any twitching, is the most unmistakable sentence of condemnation which the peo ple of thc County can poss upon all in dependents and disorganizes. Every mimo scratched from thc ticket encour ages Independents, tends to thu disor ganization of thc party, and plays into thc hands of the Radicals. At the next election we vote not for men hut foi principle ; not for our dioica between Democrats hut for Democrats as opposci! to Radicals. AN' OPPORTUNITY. Thc colored people of the State hav< now an opportunity tn prove that tlioj have in? ill-feeling towards tho whites and do not propose to array thcmsclve as a race in antagonism with them. Th Democrats have for two years given then au honest and economical administration of thc government, protected them in al their rights of person and property, an by the equal ami faithful udministratio cf the laws secured them thc same pr? lection as is extended to thc white 1 his protection was not secured tu thvi by tho corrupt government of Scot Moses and Chamberlain. The colore people know that their taxes are niue less under Democratic rule than the were under Radical domination ; th; their rights arc better secured to them I) Gov. Hampton than they were by tl Radicals, and that the relations betwee thc races are now more harmonious tim ut any tune since the war, und k no wit: all this they must feel it a duty to vo at thc coining election thc Democrat ticket, and secure n continuation of tl government which has brought peace thu Statu and absolute protection them. It is not only their duty to vo tho Democratic ticket, hui it ic- tin highest interest, for if they now arri themselves against tho whites they mt be assured that they will bring upi themselves the future evils of bad go cr?ment from which they have just i caped. The colored people have now i opportunity of showing to thc wor their appreciation of honest and uprig rulers, und their abhorrence and cn demnution of corrupt, bad, theivingl .:. cm. They should now catt otT their h leaders, and make friends with thc with whom they are identified in i teros*. There is a decided disposition in BOI counties in the State to tight thc Den eratic party, and thc insidious and th geroua policy of running Independ? candidates has been resorted to, by t enemies of good government, to acco plish their desire to 0"alroy thc Den eratic party and promote their own tereala at the expense of the public go This has induced the nomination nf depon c.nt candidates in Charleston a elsewhere, which, if allowed to go i checked, will result in the speedy MI ruction of Democratic suprema Our people cannot now allow ludep dents to succeed. Even if they abo bo our best friends, wo should frown th down ?'.nd scorn them. All truo Dei crats of South Carolina should holt contempt and disrepute any man who tho sako of office would antagonize party ot good government by running an Independent candidato now.

You man?, Attorney Gen ral of .South Carolina, arrived in the ?ty yesterday morning, nnd during the ay called at the White lionne. The oh- I ct of his visit was lo refute the slanders lat the sinai ls-Lee gang of conner- ' dorcd conspirators have entertained the j ["ministration with. Ile had an inter- j icw Mr. Hayes, and the condition of j Hairs in South Carolina was thoroughly j iscussed. Cen. Youmans declared that j ie stories of "outrages" i i his State ; ere entirely without foundation, and ad been started and circulated by de igning persons for political effect. Ev ry personal difficulty growing out of thc j olilical canvass or arising from other j autos, is magnified into a political out tge by persons who are or hope to be ereonally benefited by this policy. The democrats arc conducting a vigorous anvass, General Youmans said, and arc ndcuvoring by reason and argument to nnvince the colored people that their in crests are necessarily thc same as those f the white citizens, and that they hould join with the latter in electing i ood and competent men to office. All brough the State Democratic speakers are invited their opponents to meet hem in joitit discussion, and have asked lie Republican speakers to divide time ..?th them at their meetings. Thc mass f Ute colored people have been anxious o hear both sides of the questions at ?sue, and all ol' the respectable leaders f that party have accepted thc proposi ion for joint discussions ; but a small lique of designing Radicals, consisting f Smalls, Swaiis, Lee, Rainey ami a few tilers who feared the effect of fair and pen discussion, objected to Democrats . ldressing colored meetings, ami have ought to prevent il. In the palmy days f carpet-bagisin the^c men figured .mung the most unscrupulous knaves kho robbed thc State, and some of them nive been branded by the courts as cum min felons. They are now seeking to day t'nc same game which told with such >fiect in tonner years; they raise the cry d' oppression and outrage upon the col .red people, and spread lies broadcast brough the country to make political agitai, (?en. Youmans said some of hose men had rendered themselves pcr onally obnoxious in certain localities, md that in two or three pl nc _'s difficulties ind occurred, but they were not more roquent or of any greater magnitude in South Carolina than occur during a ?oated political campaign in any North um State. He called .Mr. Hayes' alton ion to the fact that while Speaker Rail lai I was addressing ti political meeting u Philadelphia the night before, some merson in the audience throw a stone at lim, which barely missed his head, ami von ld have proved fatal had it struck lim. If that had occurred with a. Re publican speaker in South Carolina, Gen. Youmans pointedly remarked, it would lave furnished material for the most dia bolical political outrage that hat! been lerpetrated during the campaign. The nnst trivial persnnai difficulties in South Jarolina are enlarged, exaggerated anti iinbcllished and sent abroad as evidence if Democratic oppression. He contended hat South Carolina is as peaceable as my State in the Union, and that the laws ire as rigidly enforced there as any where. Governor Hampton lias executed lie laws impartially ever since his in "jgurat'.ot?, and he wi!! continue to do o. Tiie couria of the State are in opera ion, and with complete power and juris notion, and all offenses against the laws viii be punished regardless of the politi :al status of the odenders. General Youmans detailed thecircum itanccs connected with thc difficulties >n Sumter and Williamsburg counties, and liowed that persona*! and not political celitig had been the chief cause of thc rouble. He proved conclusively that al! he stories of outrages have originated villi a few designing men who are can lidatea for ofhee and hope to hold tilt eluted vote by creating ill-feeling be ween the whites and blacks. Gen. Youmans is one of tho first men ? South Carolina. He is intelligent ligh-toned and honorable, and because This many good qualities he was electee a his present position. His simple state lent is enough to overthrow the Mvorr vidence of a thousand such as Smalls .oe, Swaiis and their gang. - Jefferson Davin, Jr., whose death ! in Meinphifl from yellow fever has been announced, was in Louisville a few weeks unce.
