~~B. B.'MURRAY, Editor. THURSDAY MORNING, OCT. 30. 1879. J-'IOHTIXf* Mil. T?XDKN. Tlio AVtri and Courier of last Thursday contains an uri ido ?how'og that .tho nom ination of a candidato for tho Presider.?*; I next year lias narrowed down to a BOIC- ] lion between Tilden, Hancock and Bay ard on tho Democratic eldo, and arguing in favor of tho selection of tho later. With tho conclusions of this article we fully ngroo, but wo cannot endorso tho tone of tho New? and Courir- towards Mr. Tilden when lt Bays ? Mr. Tilden cannot bo oloctcd boonuso ho cannot socoro thc vote of Ibo Build :-;o\ith. Tho argumou. is that tho local necessities of the Southorn nooplo will !m pe? them to Vote for tho Democratic candidate; whoovcr ho may bo. This 1B plausible v.-hero local noods come into play and tho vote for Vrcsldentlal oloo torn is combined with tuo vote for Stuto nod County officers. It IB futile In South Carolina, wbcro a citizen muHt cast two votes in different places, if ho would give bis RUpport to Mr. Tilden. Under tho Act or March 22, 1878. thoro must, nt Con gressional and Presidential elections, be two ballot boxes for each precinct, which boxes must bo kept "sepa* tte and apart tind not in tho samo apartment." In ono box aro deposited tho ballots for Con KioKsmcn and Presidential Electors, and in tho otbor hex tho ballots for State, Circuit and Cor.nty offtcera. Now thoro is ab much puMle spirit and ns much loy alty to tho Krllonal Democracy in South Carolina as <u any other State, but Mr. Tild?n is regarded ss a chronic sneak atid constitutional toward, and nolthor tho inand'ite? of Conventions nor tho ap peals r-r ho Press viii induce tho people to put themselves to any troublo to vote for bis Electors. To uotniunto Mr. Til den is to throw nway tho electoral vote of South Carolina, and to lose two or threo Congressmen. Can tho National Democratic party afford lt? Nor IM tho evil confined to Sonth Carolina. Thoro whl bo ttonblo with both Florida and 3 louisiana, if tho candidato bo Mr. Tilden. To ?peak plainly, whilo tho South, wield ing enormous powor, is not disposod to dictate who l'hall bo nominated, it has already said that tho nominee shall not bo Mr. Tilden. Wc do not nj;rc J with our contempo rary in 803-ing tho vote of this State win not bo carried for Mr. Tild?n, os wo bo liovo that South Carolina is a Democratic State, and that her propio will voto for tho nominee of tho party, whoovor ho may bo, knowing that bo is ?uro to bo a better man for the country than any man tho It6f??b??cs7i3 will nominate. Wo bc liovo the samo is also truo of Louisiana mid Florida, for thu Southern States can not afford to pei mit a Republican HUCCCBS next yt ar. Any thing liko tho policy in dicated by tho Newt and Qmrier would bo worse than suicidal to ourselves. It is nothing more nor less than encouraging Indepondontism, which 's tho biddon rnat o that ls already prepared for tho De mocracy In South Carolina. If our poo plo prize their liberties and tho blessings of good government, they must stick to gether in politics, voting tho ticket nom inated by their party, and tho whole ticket, whether it oults them porsonally or not. Wo aro now lighting to establish great principles, tho success or failure of widen docido tho final destiny of our Re public Men aro matters of small conse quence in Huck a struggle, and personal lihou or dislikes should hevo absolutely no control ovor a man's ballot ofter tho nomination hes h. con mado. It will not do for a man to say that ho will not vote n part of tho tiokot and still claim to bo a Bound Democrat, for tho discretion which ho exorcises cari bo oxerclsod by others os to other parts of tho ticket, and by still others as to tho wholo of the ticket, in each and every of which cases tho voter ls giving aid and comfort to tho enemy. It would present thb spoctaclo of mon claiming to bo Democrats and yet hoip h<3 te oloct Republicana, as John Kelly and his followers are doing in Now York. Wo hr.vo no doubt that wo havo a plenty of John Kclloys In South Carolina, but wo do not boliovo thoy will find any con siderable following. Whatever fight, therefore, -.vc have te make on Mr. Til d?n Bhould be mado insldo of tho party, .and not in such a way as to weaken tho organization or to encourage disaffection aud indopendontlBm. Our objection to Mr. Tilden ls both as to tho proprloty of his nomination and os to its oxpodloucy. Wo boliovo it would bo unfortunate, bo cause he would bo kept explaining and apologizing.during the v .. io canvass, keeping us on the defensivo throughout. Ho is not the strongest man In Nov/ Jersey, Connecticut or Indiana, and has no moro strength, if as much, in New York, than Senator Bayard would bava Wo ere decidedly in favor of Bayard and opposed to Tilden, until tho nominating convention is over, and thoa wo are in favor of whoovcr lt nominates. This is, we behove, tho proper gronud tor ? tho - South. XBIAXiBV JTTBY. Tho Grand Jury of Fairfield County, hr. a recent presentment, discussed tho present Jury ny Etom as follows: Wu tinnrtstly Vir/Uovo that S SSW law ls now needed. "?ndor tho present Bysto'rt one villain upon a Jury ts equal to oleveu honest men, and may in all cases, oven of tho most flagrant nature, defeat tho onds of justice and run tho country to endless expenso by making mintrlals from tenn to term. If sixteen Jurors were drawn, with twolvo to agree, tho difficulty might bo remedied, and with? Out somo chango wo fear that trial by tnry, as at present practiced, although ho boastoo bulwark of civilization, will be brought Into ridiculo. Wo do not agroo with the Fairfield grand jury. ? It Is true that the present jury system possesses those imperfec tions wbV/i are incident to tho frailty of all human institutions, but lt bas been teated for ccntrir.es, and tho wisdom bl mau bas neve, ^jeen able tb improve on lt. There in no uso for a better jury law than we now have, for if the 'Jury Com? Missioners do their duty none but good mon ?a?'got upon our Juries, except as nu accident, and tbvm lt iii n*t poaslblo for them to do moro than make a mistrial, which leaves the case for another hearing ct tho next term. It rarely foppen? that two mist rials cvx?s?, wu ? is by gy ?-???S common tohave mle trish* at all. If there aro poor Juries tho .Grand Jarles ahouM get niter the Jory Comm?alonors, Tacro Irrtbo placo to look for correction of the kind of evil tho Fairfield Grand Jury complains of. Wo had, therefore, better leave our trial by Jury unmolested. It foe seryod our ancestors well for centu ries back, and we should] bo^uow io rn&ke any change |n it, oxoopt iYomtikno to time, to- guard its purity and its com epl thoy W?1 CHARLESTON'S i'OUTICAL MUIJ2>M'~ Tho Charleston municipal canvass has assumed a most dangerous and unfortu nnto B'tapo, not only for tho city itself, but for tito Democratic party of South Carolina. That our readers may fully understand tho situation, wo will sum marise lt briefly boforoinnklrn any com ments. Thc prosont Mayor, W. W. Salo, who was elected by tho Democratic parly, hos rallied around him o party which seeks bia re-election ut all hazards, I and, in order to uccompllsb this end, his friends secured a division in tho execu tive eouim:ttoo appointe ' 1 tho last can vass on tho question of conVentioti or ur convent'on. This coinmltteo unfortu nately uougbt to porpeluuto Hs control and decide tho quostltin* coining up in this canvass. Mr. Halo refuse* to promise to abldo by tho action of a Democratic convention or oven a primary election, ht which none hut Democrats aro to voto, claiming that ?if lt^ta fairly managed ho will bo ro-olcctod, and, If it is not, that ho will not he bound.by it. Capt. W. A. Courtenay Is another can didato for Ibo nomination, and has re peatedly pledged himself to abide by tho action of a convention or of npriu. v ?lection at which nouobut Domocratnu. 9 to vote. Ile ls entirely competent, and is a gontloman of high character and scru pulous honor. Mr. W. J. Oayor ls an Independent can didate, who expects lo run in botwoen tho two factions of tho Democratic party. Tho situation Is vory nearly, if not quito, as tmioh muddled in tho city of Charleston as it in In thu state of New York, and tho outlook wo fear ls about as gloomy for tho Domocrallo'party proper. There is no doubt that tho Democrats could olect their Mayor, If thoy could be united ; but from pre sent appearances it will bo impossible to unite thom. Mr. Salo is determined to bo ro-olectod at all hazards, and, therefore, whilo ho has nomo eminently ronpoctablo citizens sup porting him,', he in backed up in a large measure by llopublicann and thoso who euro very llttlo for any fixed political principles. Tho Charleston Democracy ls evldontly very poorly organlzod, for If it had any strength of organization, such conduct as Mr. Halo bari boon guilty of, would not for an instant bo permitted. Unless ho pledges hlinnnlf to, bo bound hy tho action of tho Democratic, party un conditionally, ho ls unworthy of tho con fidence of that political purty, and show? that ho is purely solfish. Wo regot to noe this spilt in tho Democracy ,</ Charles ion caused in tho interest of a man -..lioso oourso is tending to break down party lines and introduce tho enomy In a most dangorous dlsgulHo into our ranks. Wo fear that the regular nomlneo, who ever ho may bo, cauuot bo elected, and that either tho Independent candidate or, what ls worBO, tho bo'/'ng candidato will win. Wo Bay lt is ?vorne for tho bolting candidato, or tho candidato who will not be govornod by tho party action, to suc ceed than fur tho Independent candiduto, because tho independent han no opportu nity of injuring tho party, unless voters deliberately profor to loavo tho organiza tion, whilo tho candiduto who runs as a Democrat, but refuse? to submit to tho party action, proteases what ho has not, in ordor to compasa what would bo out of bia roach, If bia real principles wcro understood. This in a very serious ques tion to tho Htato, and both wings of tho Democratic party of tho city of Charleston ought to call in tho aid of impartial Dem?crata from dlflbrout soetiona of tho : 'tsto to nmko fuir and unbiased mica to regulato tho nomination of tho candidate and thon compel all partios to submit to thu result. Something should bo dono to savo tho city of Charleston, for a defeat of tho Democracy there may lead to tho olection of au Independent State tlckot noxt year. Both parties should make concessions in ordor to avoid euch a ca tastrophe. Now York votes for Htato ofQcors on next Tuesday, and as the re ?ult draws ?carer our hope grows lass. Tho indlca iona oro that tho Empl.ro Htato will Join Dhlo in tho Ropublioau rankB. Governor Robinson bas made an excellent Govern . ir, but tho odds against him aro too groat, [n the first placo, this la tho year of tho Republican tidal wave, and ali of tho ?tatea aro giving Increased Republican najoritlos - BO that if tho samo gain ls undo by tho Republicans of Now York boy would carry tho Stato on an even race. It ls, however, from tho dlsafloc ion in tho Democratic party that the do bat of tho regular candidato is almost issurcd beforp tho olootlon. John Kelly ios played tho political traitor well, and he misfortune ls that he hassurcoodod n scouring a fair following throughout ho Stato, which is enough to Insure tho ileetlon or cornell, ll appearances aronot looeptlvo. Tho friends of Governor Rob eson, however, claim that ho will carry ho State because his canvass has boen roch a business-like matter that whilo it nu done effective work it has mado vory Uti? display. Tho campaign has boon londnotod by Mr. Tild?n'a peculiar moth id of individual work which securer, lists if all tho voters in tho Stato and notes hoir political standing after whloh they tro approached personally and persuaded into voting right. By this moans Mr. Eildon predicted within one thousand of Ibo vote that would bo cast for him In Jio State of New York whon ho mn for ?ovomor, and came within five hundred >f tho vote In that State on tho hist presl iontlal election.
