It la not ours to Judge bira, but it is to be hoped that no man will bo found who can fully tah o bis place, for from all human appear ances it looks Uko he was one of those instruments of vengeance and ovil which aro somotiues cont to. scourge a section of country by ita venom and maliguoty. His lifo has been devoted to tho produo tlon ofall the hato and discord which bia nature could ongondor botween the two great sections of .a common country, and no far as we recall it, bas bot a single act of klnduess or expression of charity to mark an oasis In bia career,, which baa been a barren desert, so far as all of tho noblo and bettor qualities of maa are aonooraed.

' _ ' ' ',',,, THE ?AIR ON W. ?, PARKER. The occurrence which oar correspon dent from Fahr Play gives an account of clsowliore is an outrage which should not go unpunished, and wo ore glad to know that it is condemned by tho whole people of the section in which' it occurred, and especially, that no citizens of this State wore connected with it. Tho assault upon Parker in Georgia was, from all ac counts which we . have hoard, unpro voked and without a shadow of justlflca , tlo-q ; but with that we have nothing lo do. It wa? in another 8tato, and it is for tho poopls of that Stato to approve or con . demn. When, however, tho parties so far forget themselves as to como to this S tato to wreak out vengeance for them selves, and do so in as indiscriminate and utterly lawless manner aa Was done Ir? this caso, it boom os a matter of great conseqacuco to ouv people. We cannot afford to bavo tho reputation and peace of this State tampered with in any such way. Ono occurrence of this kind does tho South end tho Democratic party more harm than five year? of good behavior on tho part of the wfc?lo pooplo of thia Elate can moko amends for. Such pro ceotllnga most be stopped, if we expect to &^<jj^ve ponnanont peace and good govorn sncnt in tho Soutint We have as A politi cal party promised tho colored people to place thom upon an equality beforo tho law and to extend its protection to thom. Under such promises wo cannot permit out skiera to como with force and terror into their bouses and mistreat their mm liles la tho coat ch for one whose life they would tako because ho had defonded , himself when attacked; As'a politioal party wo arc bound to put a stop to such procood?ngt?, but there Ja a higher reason stopped. That 'reason is because it is wrong in itself. We hopo this caso will ?': ho looked Into judicial)y, and that pcoplo Wttt be taught that tho u> ra must be re .saauiiuj. The great s?tnirlty of the cltU '?tri ?^sia in' tho rigid enforcemont of law, Ii we allow lt to bo trampled under toot In, ene instan^.

The third resolution relates to mo. lt asks mo to "lend my aid to the Domocra oy in adopting a plan of nomination which will bo accoptablo to all Democrats and thus ensuro unity In tho party." It will give mo pleasure to aid tho regular Executive Commlttco of the City Domoc raoy elected on tho first of Ootobor, 1870, iii furthering tho nbovo object In view or my Allegiance to tho rogo/lar 1 D?mocratie party of South Carolina I can f recognise no organisation or eommitteo which docs 'mt epring legitimately from i Quit party. Rt-Bpofl?ully, your ob't sorv't. W. W. SAMS. From this lt will ho neon that neither ! Mr. Salo nor tho Exooullvo Committee of j bia wing of the party wore willing to have any sottlomont, or to treat with the other wing of tho party, unless they wero admitted tc bo tho representatives of tho Domooraoy of Charleston, which amounts to nothing moro nor loss than saying that I? they were allowed to havo their own. woy thoy would confer, but not otherwise. Upon tho receipt of those letters nothing waa loft for tho conven tion to. do but to olthor back down or nominate their man. In this dilemma [they nominated capt.- courtenay, who j was really the only candidato for the I bulee who was ollgiblo to tho nomina tion, according to tho rules of tho up ' country Domooraoy, and wo supposo tho Charleston Democracy havo tho same rulo, vii: that no candidate shall bo nominated for any ofllco who does not ! first plodgo himself to be governed by tho action of tho party. With'UM the role ts that no vote in our primary oloc tiona shall bo wonted If east for any candidato who bas not previously pledged to abide the result. Mr. Courtenay hos repeated ly so pledged himself, while Mr. Solo has always promlsad to abide tho result if bo was nominated, but has nc\;or boen obie to let his patriotism commit bim any further.' Under tho circumstances wo do not soo how tho Democrats of 1 Charleston can do otherwise than sup* port Mr. Courtenay, for ho is the choleo of a majority of tho Domoorntlo party, and his friends have ottered ovcrythlng that was reasonable to sottio tho differ ences in tho *oarfctrv TI?*?

That each parly bo at liberty, aftor *.ho couut, to talco such further action as may ho proper to further conciliation. .Very respectfully, your ob't serv't, JOHN GONZALEZ, Secretary Sale's Advisory Board. This proposition is that oach party ! have a separate box and allow all to vote j at it that they see propor, and aftor tho balloting ls ovor, that they be at liberty to taho further stops for conciliation. TJndor this arrangomont Mr. Salo'? j friends conld allow Republicans and all to vote, while Mr. C mrtenay's, having ! contended that nono out Democrats have j the right to participate in thc nomination of Domocratlo candidates, could not allow Republicana to vote, and then the troublo would havo hoon as great or greater than evor. It amonutod to no offer c'Boltlohiotit, and overy impartial man In tho State will soe lt In this light. Wo have meddled with Charleston pol itics because wo bcllovo it is a canvass i which foreshadows tho conflict that lies ] before us in 1880 in South Carolina, and, tborcfore, that the wholo Stato is deeply intorosted in tho success of puro Democ racy without combinations with Ilepub-. licaiis. If tho Domocratlo parfy of Charleston is defeatod by disaffected ' Democrats, or by combinations with Re publicans, it will bo ominous for the Stnto noxt y oar. Dence, wo think yet that a settlement of theso troubles should bo reached by submitting tho matter to loading Democrats fron: different sec-1 t Ions of tho Stato for > djustment, not in the interests of the candidates, but for tho I '.?olfaro of tho party and of tho State. If | ft ls not done, thoso who rofuso the arbi tration will bo justly chargoablo with whatever disaster attends tho result. In our opinion tho Democrats of j Charleston aro now Butlering for im proper action in thc past It ls tho coali tion of a pnrt of tho party with Cunning ham some years ago which is now the | root from which this bitterness springs. In that canvass they united with tho Re publicans to eloct a Northorn Republican bird of passago Mayor over Gen. John A. Wagonor, a nativo Carolina Democrat and gontloman. This was, lu our opin ion, as wo then Haid, wrong and impoli tic. It was, however, at a time when tho ! condiiiuu ot tho Stato was different fror what it is now. Tho damage to be wrought by that mistake only affeotod the city of Charleston-now it affects the State, and threatens to take away from ?B all that wo havo gainod in good gov ernment, by splitting tho party and en couraging independenti?m, tho most dangortms onomy of our Stato. Since that unfortunate canvass tho Democrats of Charleston have throo times voted to gotbor, and throo timos havo thoy boston tho common enomy. In ono of those j canvasses Mr. Salo was nominated for Mayor, and nil votod for him. Now lt | would ba unfortunate to re-open that old sear of tho Domooraoy. If one wing of j the party submitted to Mr. Halo's nomi-1 nation in ono canvass, Mr. Salo'? friends j should not refuse to submit to another man in tho next, If ho is tho choloo of a | majority of tho Domocrats. This la emi nently a caso which should bo eottlod amicably, and wo trust our friends in Charleston will realizo tho gravity of the occasion, and rathor than imperil tho j State, that thoy will submit their differ ences to tho arbitrament otpuro aud dis interested Democrats, who would no! doubt satisfactorily adjust tho wholo caso. ] DEATH OP ZACH.

His friends then bade him good night and left That IS the lost timo the Senator was soon nllvo. This morning when the office boy called him thora was no responso, and as upon a roDotltlon of the knock silence still prevailed, the clerk effected an entrance through the transom and found that tho Senator waa dead.

On the first day tho attendance was decidedly slim, but yes terday showed a vast improvement in that respect and a very largo crowd was f?resent.

ON tho 20th of May last a Circular was Issued announcing the necessity of re organizing tho University, foreshadowing some changes, and requesting bondsmen to release us from tho obligation to furnish further free tuition, upon specified condi tions. Responses to filis Circuler, though favorable in nearly every case, have not been sufficiently numerous to warrant the Trustees in assuming the responsibility of discontinuing thc fres system. It is onr purpose, therefore, to continue the plan proposed when the bonds were signed. It will occur to bondsmen, nt once, that we cannot possibly go on without their sub stantial support ; (ind that necessity is now upon us to urge most earnestly the pay ment of their bonds. We hope that no stronger influence than that of appeal to your lovo of tho Institution will be neces sary to prompt you to mako as largo pay ments as possible this Fall, and to continue payments until your obligations are fully discharged. We feel bound to accept noth ing as an excuse for doing less, except abso lute necessity. We have no word to in flame your hearts, if tho repeated appeals wo havo made do notmovcyou ; and when wo shall have exhausted oil the means in our power, tho responsibility will rest with you. THOS.
