Tolly, Secretary. the phemaby election. The Primary Election on last Thurs? day resulted in the following nomina? tions : For the Legislature, R. W. Simp? son, E. if! Murray and E. M. Rucker; Foi' Clerk of Court, John W. Danjels; : .> For Sheriff, James H. McConnell; For | Probate Judge, W. W. Humphreys; For School Commissioner, R. W. Todd; For Cotnty Commissioners, Ezekiel Harris; For Coronet Joseph W. Keys. Messrs. Hugh M. Prince and R. P. Clinkscales hava to ran over for the Legislature, and Messrs. J. H. Jones, R. Marcus Burriss, R. 8. Bailey and G. A. Rankin for the two remaining County Commissioners. Tbe election passed off quietly, and while very, few persons got the whole ticket voted for, still every voter can probably Console himself with the reflection that he got some of his men nominated. The candidates this year were good men, and, inasmuch as,there was a large number running for each office,- of course some very excellent gentlemen have- been left out for the different offices. All of them, however, received good votes, showing that their merits are appreciated by the people.*4 The ticket will. probably be completed next Monday, and then all Democrats in the County will unite to give the National, State and County ticket as a whole a rousing majority in November. col. aikkn's speech, again. We do not agree with our correspon? dent, "Citizen," in his view of Col. Ai ken's Townville- speech, for whether Hancock or Garfield is elected the Demo * cratic party is the party of the Constitu? tion, and the South together with all lovers of the government of our forefath? ers owes it allegiance. Success nor de . feat can alter principles. "They are un? dying, and so long as there remains a spark df that flame of liberty which was lighted in America by tho eloquence of Patrick-Henry, established by the sword of Washington, and perfected by the brain of Jefferson, so long will the doc? trines and principles of the Democratic party survive, and so long will it receive the support and admiration of the more patriotic portion of our common union. This great party may be in a minority, but its salutary influence alone presents the destruction of tbe principles of our government. There is no difference be? tween tbe Democratic party North and that party South, and it is unfortunate to have any elements of discord introduced between the two. Particularly does it ill become any Southern Democrat to berate tbe national Democratic party af ?.er that magnificent exhibition of disin? terested sympathy and patriotism dis? played by the illustrious Bayard, Thur nan, Eaton and their compeers who sat ;even alone against an overwhelming najoriiy of malignant and vicious Re? publican in tbe United States Senate, lefending tbe people of the South when ve had not a single voice upon the loor of that body. The prolonged fights igainst tyranny and agression were nade by them for us when we could 10t defend ourselves and we owe them a asking debt of gratitude. We are in - avor of standing by tbe Demoaratic party how and all tbe time, for when it ?joes down the free institutions of America will fall as surely as the republics of Greece and Rome and France have per? ished when the party of liberty died in their midst. Let us adhere to the party of liberty. If it triumphs the victory will be ours. If it fails the calamity will rest equally upon the whole con? fines of our republic. THE SAME OLD FAMILIAR CRY. The Republicans are now in a sore ex? tremity, and have turned their whole effort to abuse, misrepresentation and vilification of the South in the hope that they may hide the fraud, corruption and usurpation which has characterized their administration of the government. Their campaign arguments are the bloody shirt, the rebel brigadiers, the solid South, tho Confederate war claims, the Southern war debt and payment for the negro. By- holding these sectional issues up to the country, and fanning anew the strife which burned in the Northern breast fif? teen years ago, they think to terrify the credulous and timid, to keep their ranks from depletion, and by at least pretend? ing to have a living issue to present to ihe country, they hope to keep the voters jf the Union from discovering that the party only lives in the past, and, having tccomplished its mission, any further lease of power can only result in mis :hief and injury to the country. It has 10 promises for the present or future, but tpends its time in estranging those ele nents of a common country, which it is lie most sacred duty of the statesmen of ?oth parties to unite in concord by the level?pment and promotion of those iommon interests which are possessed by nen in every section. The Republican ampaign is a crime to liberty, to the Union and to civilization. The parly vhich conducts such a canvass should be etired from, the control of the govern nent, and the indications are' that this party of hato and corruption will meet ts just doom in November. The election in Maine still remains ?o ionbt. The Republicans who have com? pete control of the election machinery >f the government have held back mail treasonably the returns, and now have he contest so close between Davis (Re? publican) and Plaisted (Fusion) candi lates for Governor that it will take the >fficial Court in Jannary to decide who las been elected. This course has raised ;he cry of fraud and tampering with the >allots which will cost the Republican party thousand;; of votes in November, ft is their old habit. They stole tho Presidency in 1876 and there is no doubl, hat they mean to steal the Governorship n Maine now. If successful in this they till try to steal the votes of other States n November so as to count Garfield in is a return for his services in counting Vir. Hayes in during the count of 1876. This is the Republican programme, and lothing but the most decided expression m the part of the people in favor of Hancock can secure his election. The party of fraud and violence will not hesi ;ate to resort to any measures which may 3e necessary to retain their usurpation of -he government. Our friends in Abbeville are having a rreat deal of trouble in making their nominations for County officers. They adopted the majority system for nomi? nating their candidates, aud at the first election secured tho portion of the ticket we published last week. At their second primary the following nominations were made: For the Legislature, John M. Morrah ; For County Commissioners, W. F. Cowan and J. F. Livingston; For School Commissioner, E. Cowan; For Coroner, James Shillito. A third elec? tion for the 24th inst. has been ordered to complete the ticket by nominating one member of the Legislature and one County Commissioner. We are not like? ly to have so much trouble in thh County, though it is possible to have a failure to elect -a full ticket of County Commissioners on next Monday. Governor Jeter has ordered Attorney General Youmans to appear and prose? cute the Cash-Shannon duelling cases at the approaching term of the Darlington Court. In this the Governor has done his duty, for every interest of our society and the vindication of law require that these cases should be vigorously and ably prosecuted. Attorney-General Youmans will no doubt do all that can be done by an able and accomplished advocate, and it only remains to be seen whether the Courts and juries will do their duty in the effort to suppress this crime. NORTHERN YIEWS OF OUR STATE. What Senator Bayard's Coinpaulon Saw, Heard and Thought?Peace, Prosperity and Loyally?A Reminiscence of Green? ville. A reporter of tho Wilmington (Del.) Every Evening has interviewed tho Hon. Wm. G. Whitely, who accompanied Sen? ator Bayard on his recent trip South, lie said: One of the most pleasing features, to me, was the reception accorded to Bayard through the whole route. Had ho been the Presidential candidate, or even President, the people could not well have given him a grander ovation. At every station tho people were there in crowds. Little country stations, where you would think hardly anybody lived, turned out as big crowds as they could get up, while in the important towns the recep? tion was something to see. At Columbia the State troops and a large body of citi? zens turned out to meet us at the depot at 6 o'clock in tho morning and escorted us to tho hotel, and afterwards marched in parade to tho grounds where Bayard was to speak. "Everywhere we stopped they wanted Bayard to speak. At about "half the Elaces we passed through they received im with cannon salutes in addition to their cheers and calls fora speech. This was the case from Norfolk to Wilming? ton, (from Washington to Columbia wo traveled by night) and from Columbia to Anderson, it was the same thing at every station. "At Greenville they wanted Bayard to turn out at midnight and mako a speech. We*, were stretched out in a sleeping car and sound asleep when the train reached Greenville. Tho crowd at the depot sent a deputation into the car to warke Bay? ard up. He told them they must excuse him as the cars would not stop long enough for him to say anything and the deputation left the car satisfied, but tho crowd outside,still continued to clamor for Bayard. "On our return to Norfolk, on Friday night last, we were met at the depot by an immenso crowd. Bayard made a lit? tle speech to them and they escorted him to the place of meeting amid the firing of cannon, and fireworks and bonfires and music, and, after the meeting, they escorted him to the hotel. "I saw it stated in some paper," said the reporter, "that a majority of Senator Bayard's auditors at Columbia wero col ored people; was that tho case?" "No; the majority at all tho meetings were whites. There were a great many colored people, though, in the audiences at Columbia and Anderson, and many colored people turned out in the parades at these places." "Do you mean that they marehpd iu line and carried torches in Democratic parades ?" "Tho parade at both these places were held in the daytime, and participated in latgely by negroes. Nearly all of them were mounted on mules and wore red shirts; tho whites wore red shirts also. One of the negroes, a farmer in a small way, owning nis forty acres and a mule, as many of them do, told mo he had come fifteen miles to see Bayard. Some white men came as far as forty miles. Bayard spoke about an hour and half at Colum? bia and Anderson, and over two hours at Norfolk. The meetings were large, at least they would bo called large here. At Columbia and Anderson there were about 3,000 people; at Norfolk, bctweon 4,000 and 5,000." ?"How did tho audience impress you ?" "Very much as an audience of our own farmers; the people at the meetings were very much like thoso I have seen at meetings down ;n Kent and Sussex and on tho Eastern Shore. Somo of them spoke similarly of us, saying: 'Yon look like our own people.' One man in par? ticular expressed surprise at this. Said he: 'Why, Bayard, and you don't look like Yankees at all!' " "How about the Southern outrages Colonel ?" * "So far from seeing anything liko ill treatment of the darkies, I was struck with the terms of familiarity on which the whites and blacks associated, both at tho meetings and on the streets. While Bayard was speaking I circulated around in the audience and talked to many of the negroes. I asked one darkey what he gave for his mule. He said $100. " 'Where did you get the money ?' I asked," " 'I borrowed it from my old master,' ho said. " 'Do you own your land ?" " 'No; I rent it. I don't like to own land because there is so much trouble here about the title to land. My brother bought a tract and the title was defective and he lost it.' " " 'How do you rent your land ?" " 'I rent it of my old master. The first two years I had it for nothing, for clear? ing it up and putting a house on it,' Since that time I pay $2.50 a year rent for each acre.'" "How do you crop?" "I put 30 acres in cotton .and on the other 10 acres 1 raise corn and provisions to keep my family and my mule. I raise from 10 to 20 bales of cotton each year." "He further said that he was doing very well, and every colored man who was willing to work could get land and get credit, and could do weih I asked him if he was a Democrat, and he said "yes." " 'Why are you a Democrat?' I ask? ed." "'Because,' he said, 'the Democrats treat mo better than other people.' " "The only trouble he had In being a Democrat, he said, was that it cost him more to get his cotton picked. The usual Erice for picking cotton is 40 cents per undred pounds, but becauso he was a Democrat, the Republican negroes charged him 50 cents, and he could not get other labor." "Why could ho not get Democratic ne? groes to pick it?" asked the reporter. "Because," replied Colonel Whitely. "nearly all the Democratic negroes had cotton of their own to pick? That's the way I found it. The negroes who work on the farms and plantations as hands, and those who are too lazy to do. any work at all are, as a class. Republicans; the enterprising and industrious ones who carry on their own littlo farm or rent land and till it, and there are many of them, are nearly all Democrats." "This darkey," continued the Colonel, "further said, in reply to ray questions, that he could not read or write, but that bis sons could do both. While we were talking up came another, a great, strip? ping big negro, and he was also riding a mule." " 'What did you give for your mule ?' I asked him." " ?I didn't give nothing.' " "'How was that?" " 'I got him from my old master. I went to my old master and asked him if he would sell this mule to me and he told me to take him along if I wanted him, and I did.' This darkey also told me, the same story about tho 50 cents cotton picking business." THE TERRIBLE BUTCHER OF HAMBURG. "There was one little thing that hap? pened on our trip, that I must tell you. In our car were Democratic State candi? dates and State officers, among them Gon. M. C. Butler, the man about who so much has been said in connection with the Hamburg massacre. About that affair, by the way,, Butler told me that he 'was not at Hamburg, and did not know anything about it till it was over. When wo came to Anderson we found it to be a little village of about 2,000 people, only one hotel I think,|and it was crowded on account of the meeting. - Tho State Com? mittee had sent up a negro servant along with us, and tho next morning I said to him, 'Jim, how did you get along last night?' 4I got on very well,' he said, 'but I couldn't find any place to sloop at first.' 'What did you do about that?' 'I went to Gen. Butler and told him about it, and he told mo tobring my mat? tress into his room.' 'You slept in Gen. Butler's *oom?' 'Yes sir; I slept in Gen. Butler's room all night.' I was astonished, and thought to myself how few Northern men of Butler's standing would allow evtn a white servant to sleep in tho same room with them." "I noticed everywhere we went the general satisfaction of the working ne? groes with their present condition; their good-humored and well-fed look, their mules sleek and fat aud themselves sleek and fat. I am satisfied that if they were just let alone they would all go to work. Thoso that did work were perfectly con? tended and were treated in every respect just as well as the white people." NO SECTIONAL BITTERNESS. "The feeling of the people towards tho North has no bittt-rness in it. All they want, they said to Bayard and me, is to be let alone and allow ed to go to work in quiet and retrieve themselves. The Un ion and the flag, whenever mentioned by any of the speakers, wero cheered more lustily that anything else that was said." THE COTTON CROP. "The fields of the eastern Carolinas" were white with cotton bolls, and the picking of tho crop had commenced. Most of it was upland cotton; it grows about 21 feet high. Wo saw no Sea Is? land cotton, our routo lying too far in? land ; but wo saw on the poorer lands a good deal of what they call "bumble bob cotton," which grows about 10 inches high." It was about this kind of cotton that a Southern Congressman told a Northern member, who inquired tho derivation of the name: "Why you see, it is so called because a bumble bee can sit on the ground, and, by simply turning around, suck the honey out of all the blossoms on a plant without moving from his place." HOW ABOUT THE CENSUS ? "I inquired about the census returns in every place I was in. They told me that tbo census of 1870 was taken by United States Marshals and their depu? ties who were many of them utterly un? fitted for tho work. At least one-half of thoso deputies who took that census, they assured mo, could not write. The present census was taken by competent men. This accounts for a portion of the alleged fradulent incrcaso in the returns. But the real increase in tho population has also been very great. I never saw so many children in my life; large fami? lies of them playing around nearly every farm house, and unusual numbers in the streets of tho towns and villages. There seemed to bo a peculiar fecundity every? where we went. But the creator part of tho increase apparent of the census re? turns, 1 was told everywhere, was, ow? ing to the ignorance and incompetency of tho deputy marshals who did not half take tho census of 1870." THE GOOD TIME COMING. "Tho present cotton crop promises to be 25 per cent, ahead ofany former crop, and one planter told me that two or three more crops liko it would repay him for all the losses of tho war, slavos and everything. Many expressed the opinion that slavery was never a paying institution, and they could got along belter with free labor, if they could only got hands enough. There is a scarcity of labor, and white laborers are particularly wanted. It used to bo said that a white man could not work in ; the cotton field, but that is all nonsense." i "Tho country is being improved by the cutting up of somo plantations into smaller tracts, by renting 40 aero patches out to these negroes to till for themselves. ? By this means the land is better tilled ? and yields moro per acre than the large tracts did in tho days of slavery. In the i Western part of North Carolina we trav ' eled through a fine farming country, ! where cotton gives way to corn and other ' cereals." Nipped in the Bud. Augusta, Ga., September 18. A difficulty having arisen between Julius L. Brown, a son of United States Senator Jos. E. Brown, and Dr. G. W. Westmoreland, of Atlanta, growing out of cards published in reference to politi? cal matters, a meeting was arranged to take place at Sand Bar Ferry, South Cai* olina. Both parties were arrested in At? lanta Friday. Westmoreland gave a ?5,000 bond to keep the peace and Brown was released on giving a twenty-live thousand dollar bond. Westmoreland and his second came on to Augusta and went over to the Carolina side of the river, where they remained last night. This morning they received a message from Brown stating that ho would bo un ablo to come as ho was under bond. Westmoreland and his second returned to Atlanta this evening. ? Chairman Barnum has declined the nomination for Congress in the Fourth Congressional District of Connecticut, which was given unanimously. He says "the impropriety of my being a candi? date and at the same timo personally conducting the campaign as the Chair? man of the National Democratic Com? mittee is manifest. The latter position must necessarily occupy my entire time and attention until election. An alter? native of duties is thus presented. In my own judgment and in the judgment of others whose opinion I value, the re? sponsibility and labor of the graver and less agreeable position must bo ac? cepted." ? Charles Francis Adams wrote, An gust C, to the anti-Tammany managers of the Democratic mass meeting in New York: "The Democratic nominations appear to mo unexceptionable, and I only hope that if they should prove to be rati? fied by the voice of the people, they will not be again frittered away by fraud. I have no more to say." The letter was misdirected, but turns up now when it is likely to have considerable more effect than the first week in August. S NOTICE.
