E. B. M??tRAYt Editor. THUP8DAY MORNING, 8KPT. 18,1879. THE 8U00TIHQ OF DiiYCE. Even so respectable A paper as the New York Herald thus distorts tbe assas sination of Alexander Bryce, Jr., ia OcoDce into a political crime : Tbo results of tbe shooting of Captain Dixon in Yatco county, Mississippi, seem to be considered by tho South bs oh tho Whole feyorable, for South Carolina has adopted the Yatoo plah ahd thereby suc ceeded in ridding the State of a native horn Union men. The Victim waa A Ia* an der Bryce, of Walhalla, a good citizen and a man of '"harschet and reputation, but ono Who had long been guilty of the crime of active Republicanism. Carrot-bngger influ ence South Carolina c?n afford to laugh at, but a native Republican is altogether dif ferent from tho insane theorist from ibo North. The people know him, trust his judgment in other mattera, and a fair sharo of tl tem arc likely to accent his political ad vice. Mr. Bryce was undoubtedly a thorn in the Bourbon side; bul tho trouble is all over now, for he was assassinated near his own home a week ago. Verdict of the Jory, "Death at the hands of persona unkown. Arrests, nnno; press comments, ditto. Whether tho South Carolina Congressmen will bo as reticent as those of Mississippi remains to be seen, but so far thc affair bears very distinctly tho Yaroo stamp. The fLv-i is that every right thinking man in the Btato condemns the kUling ni Bryce. He was a bad man, it is tra?1, but tho manner of his killing was Let j mean and cowardly. It was the net of ?orne personal enemy unconnected with politics, and probably of Bryce's political party. The moot vigorous efforts oro being mado to convict and punish the perpetrators of this outrage, and tho family of Bryce themselves bavo no idea that politics had any connection with tho offenso in any way whatever. Tho Herald owes it to its reputation for fairness to correct the impression it has created through wrong information. The Democrats of Charleston aro get ting up sericus difficulties among them selves over tho simplest questions re lating to the approaching municipal can vass, about which a differenco of opinion is to bo expected, but over which un ex hibition of feeling is cot justifiable. Tho troublo grows out of tho discussion as to whether a convention shall bo called lo decide upon tho propriety of a primary election, or whether the executive com mittee shall order it and prescrib?; rules for conducting it. According to all precedent tho convention should bo called, hut if it is not done, and fair rules are prescri* ed, there Is no justification, for any lack of harmony in tho party, and the people of South Carolina will unqualifiedly condemn tho city Democ racy if they set the precedent of splitting over any such trivial matters. Tho State expects Charlestou in this contest to nominate her ticket fairly, and then to elect it by a handsome majority. Per sonal questions should not be allowed to enter into the election, and the men who are pushing themselves forward at all hazards shonld be sternly laid aside to make room for some better and moro ac ceptable candidate. Wo cannot afford to encourage thc independent idea in t'lis State. Wherever it has obtained a foot ing a Republican triumph has followed, and men who aro unwilling to abido tho action of the Democratic party, whether it suits their personal choleo or not, ought to he classed as Republicans,'for "they are the most dangerous enemies of Democracy in South Carolina, and tho most powerful and efficient allies of Re publicanism. They aro usually office hunters or their strikers, and aro as unfit for public confidence os they aro selfish and unpatriotic. i Tho campaign in Ohio is not progress ing very promisingly for tho Democrats. Tho forco of rinpt. backed by nil tho money which ia heeded to carry their object, ia too great for the real party of *the people and of the country to make much headway against them by au hon est canvass. The result next month may provo'a surprise, by the election of General ; Swing, but from present ap pearances it looks like the Republicana would elect Foster. Senator Thurman hos been taking part in tho canvass recently, and has been dealing some heavy and well directed blows at tho party of greed and ring plunder. In a speech at Co lumbus a fow nights ago, tho senator thus defined tho issues between tbe par tie?.: It Is not fear of secession or of tho rc csiabl'Jament of slavery; that1 prompts tho'Radical leaders to degrado and do base tho States.- Tho cause Ilea far doop er than that It grows out of tho lang and novor-ondbig efforts of consolidated capital, stoking special privileges by ? moans of l?gislation, privileges that tito mass of people do not enjoy.

Tho issue is now squarely presented, and we are bo glDcmg the fight which ia to terminale ia the triumph of the principles pf free or fo centralizo t3iis rcpab ita who-'aro. fall ros ail over the ic independent have too much f any such folly. Tho ?pli; in tho Democratic party of | Now York is a most serious and, we fear, fatal atop for us, so far as tho prospect for a Democratic President in 1880 ia concerned. The State id tho lost elec tion went Republican by a clear ma jority, and everythiog pointed to a very closo and doubtful contest between thc two parties thie year, had tho Democracy remained in tact. Thero was, however, too much selfishness and greed for office among ita leaders for this happy condi tion of affairs to occur. On thc ono bnnd was Ex-Gov. Tilden aspiring to control the State of New York in order to pro moto his prospects for re-nominatlon for the Presidency in 1880, by showing that he is the candidato who can carry tho State, to demonstrate which ho conceived it necessary that his choice, Gov. Robin son, should bc re-nominated. On tho other hand, John Kelly, thc leader of j tho Tammany societies, hates Tilden, and desires his own promotion, so that he was unwilling to submit to the nomination of j Robinson or nny man Tilden might name. With this spirit of rivalry be tween these two men, who were de termined to rule or ruin, the convention met. In addition to thia there was very bitter antagonism towards Governor Rob inson personally on tho part of the Tam many leaders, because ho had rer?ntedly vetoed their measures and thwarted their plans for tho government of New York, and as soon as it was ascertained that Robinson would certainly reccivo the nomination, tho Tammany delegation, beaded by John Kelly, bolted and formed a soparate convention, whoso action has to all appearances destroyed all hope of | Democratic auccess in Now York, which will also seal our hopes of victory in the Presidential contest nest year. Tho re sult of this convention shows that, with tho excoption of tho Tammany delegates, Gov. Tilden controls tho Democratic party of New York, and can count with certainty upon receiving the voto of that State in thc convention to nominate thc President next year. It has also joined tho issue between Tilden and Colliding, and tho contest will decido who is master of tho political situation in Now York. Upon success in this canvass depends tho future of these two prominent politi cians. Success in nil probability means promotion to either one of them, while failuro means to Gov. Tild?n, at least, political death. Thia being tho CUHO, it will induco Mr. Tilden to assume n most activo part in thc campaign, nnd may crown tho party with success in Bplto of tho adverso appearances. Gov. Robin son hos made n moat excellent executive, and tho dofection of Tammany will only strengthen him in tho Stato of New York, out.ido of tho city, instead of weakening him. Tho only question is can he gain enough to mako up tho los.? ho will sustain in tho city. Wo do not believe he can, and if not, his defeat ia certain. If defeated, tho country can nscribo to Messrs. Samuol J. Tild?n and John Kelly the distinction of being champion marplots, though they may not | j bo able to achiovo recognition as distin guished statesmon and patriots after theil . exhibition at tho Syracuse convention.

Cox, l>eing sworn, says I That on last night (tho '?Mb of August, 1870.) deceased was at my house I live about fifty yard* from deceased. About one hour in the night bu ?tarted back homo. 1 came to th * door with him, when I saw some person lu tho road out toward thecreok. Could not tell wheth er Ibero was ono or two or more, I called his attention to it. We said we wi-uld step down that way and see who it was. As wo started lie said bethought il was his mule that had gotten loose. Wo then started together in that direc tion to soe If it was ibo mule. Tho object passed out of our sight behind the nill towards tho creek. I got ahead of bim about fifteen or Jwcnty steps, Deceased was still cominis on. As I advanced uenrer tho creek saw two men sta iding in tho colton. 1 went towards their! to seo who it was. Deceased waa still coin ing on behind me. I advanced to within ten steps of them ami nuked them who tboy were. They made no reply at that timo; thoy both presented their guns. I asked thuin what tboy meant. Asked thuin thc second tlrnu. They asked mo who I was. I told them who I was. Tho larger ono of the two wanted to know who that other mau was, and pointed in thu direction of tho deceased. Told bim il was Alex. Bryce. Ho then stepped to the other one and handed bim a pistol. Heeined to bo a navy size ; then rete ned to bis former position. 1 then asked them what was thu matter that tboy would not talk. Just as I asked them that Alex. Bryce started to wards tho bouso in a run, when the taller one fired bis gun at tho deceased, as I Vsik it. The other ono then saya I will speak and speak now, at tho sarnu timo ho brod on doceasod and started in pur suit of bim, lie bad te inako a circle to get round mc and ran up near to de ceased, I think within six or soven sdeps, and fired a second time. Think bo was using a double barrel shotgun. When bo had tired tho last timo deceased called to mo and says "Como hore, Jcsso." At that time ho fell on his face and died right away. Both tho men thou turned and ran off out of sight. 1 saw no moro of them. I don't know that I.know who they wero. They wuro dressed in dark clothing, with their coats buttoned up to tho chin. Had on dark hats. They bau on, aa I think, frock coats, and one of thom was a rather tall mau. Tho other was a low, heavy Bet man. Saw their tracks. Measured tho tracks. Think I woi '.d know tho samo tracks again If I wero to see them. Tho tracks came from tho di rection of Massiah Cobb's and went back the saino way. Deceased never spoko to either of the parties. DisTHEsaiNQ ACCIDENT.-Last Mon day a hasty messenger brought to town tho sad nows that Mr. D. U. Addy, son of Dr. Wm. JJ.

Instantly a negro man terkel up tho cap of tho gin and this allowed Mr. Addy's head to bo pulled into it.
