?FF A IRS IR DARLINGTON. Prospects of the Union Reform Party ... v The Rascalities of the Ring. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. ] DARLINGTON, August, 18T0. We breathe a little more freely in this op. pressed county. It does really seem that the dawn of a better day slowly rises. That un? happy conjuncture of unfortunate circum? stances and evil Influences, which placed, and for BO long a time has kept, the people of this " county_colored as well as white-In the mer? ciless powers of "the meanest of mankind," bas spent its force, and healthy Influences and right feelings now struggle hor?fully for their ancient and legitimate control. It is not im? possible that the county will be carried for the Union Reform party in the approaching elec? tions-certainly it will give Carpenter and But 1er a handsome vote. The very best local weapons for the contest are in the hands of those who are fighting for Reform. The un - bounded power or Whitemore and the large Republican majority Inspired the scoundrels who had got Into office with a reckless confl ' dence that prepared for them their downfall. They threw the reins on the neck of their cu-1 pldity, and they covered their rascality with the very thinnest of disguises. Their exposure has, consequently, been easy and overwhel? ming. > The exposure, made in" open court, of .the unscrupulous villany of the; county commis? sion was so complete that not even the worst - of their party have bad the "cheek" to defend them. In reviewing the history of their trans? actions as a board, the difficulty was to find a single act that had been performed decently ana honestly. The conduct of Lanny, the county senator, in buying, as agent of the land commission, a body of land for some? thing over $5000, and then selling it to C. P. I Leslie, as his own, for over $11,000, lt has -been found impossible even to palliate before a colored audience. Besides, too, the power of the notorious Whittemore has at last been broken. This man had acquired control over the colored people of this section more complete and uni? versal than that of an absolute monarch. They . .thought him Omnipotent, and' looked up to him as something more than man. He said he .could do whatever he wished, ? nd they be lleved him. He was feared as weU as loved. . It was thought "uncanny" and c angerous to say a word against him. His ejection from Congress was a rude and unexpected shock to - the raith of his followers, but they received his explanations and stood by him. When, how? ever, the representatives of the whole people of these United States again drove him with - contempt from their hall, the spell was broken, and the idol fell from its pedestal. It ls un? derstood that he now declines a re nomination for Congress, and it 1B not believed that fears of an indictment, alone dictated this, withdrawal. Prominent colored Republicans say that it had become evident that he could not secure the nomination. The talk is, now, that he asks for the position of county senator, and may fail in getting even that. Last Sat ure av a Radical county convention was held at Darlington ' Courthouse for the purpose ol nominating for - the county offices. The day wa3 spent In a fierce wrangle. Whittemore was reminded, to his face, of nla disgrace. Colored men boldly declared themselves resolved to have honest men in office, and the ring of low fellows, with Whittemore at its head, who hive hitherto ruled the county, became at last so alarmed Vat-the'strength of the discontented thai, ..without risking a vote on a single nomination, an j adjournment to a day in nex : month ' was obtained. - The Reform party ls at work organizing. The signs are encouraging. The whites are throwing off despair and apathy, and many of ' the best of the colored men of the county have declared themselves with ns. Our prospects ' brighten daily.. The campaigning party will ; be here on-the 5th of next month, and we ex . peet much from the speeches of -.hat dav. - CHARLES DICKENS'S WILL. - ?The Pride -which Ape? Humility.'* [From the Saturday Revltw.] i . > Mr. Dickens's will stands on different -grounds, and'as the world's judgment'has j ' been invoked on its merits, we must say tbat1 it strikes OB aa bei np rather a raia fal docu? ment. .The natural reluctance to say thia t is diminished by the fact that the will was writ 'ten to the world. Ur. Dickens's last charge .. ria mankind is of the nature of a solemn re ? script, ?rbi et or bi, quite as much as a testa? mentary document. It ia a pi?ce justificative ; which implied that there is something to jae tify. It is not the first time teat fdr. Dickens has invited the whole world to survey his private and domestic concerns. His will is th? complement of that arrant.-e document which Mr. Dickens published-and which Meesrs. Bradbury A Evana would not allow to be published ID a periodical cf which he was ?dator -and tb ey were proprietors-when he separated from tis wife. As to tue rights or wrooRs. of thatjjeparatioD, or rather of what *? "led to it, we pronounce no judgment, because wo have no means of formina; a judgment. Anyhow the incident furnished ?. remarkable 'rabeence of good taste and, as most people thous, ht. of good feeling, sod all on one side Mr. Dickens paraded his dornest! J life to the world; Mrs. Dickens from that day to tbia his kept a modest and creditable ai enoe. Tbat Mr., Diekens had wrongs we iiball neither deny nor affirm: that Mrs. Dictions' had none, lt woold,be hard to believe. On; wrong she .certainly had; ano was assailed by her hus? band in public. Mr. Dickens might have had justice ail OD his aide; we do not say that be had not; ont generosity on that occasion be did not display. And generosity be has not displayed in bisN ??ring testament. With the ** worat taste, Mr. Dickens, when m tbe vigor of life, affronted his wife by ma (cmg his mai ried hie public prooexty; and dying, lie bas re peat ?jd the wrong and offeree. Profuse and -jwictnoua ;and-stilted in -his expressions of ? gratitude to n is wife's sister, li be:-al in the pro 1 - vision that.he baa mada for ti at lady, not forgetful of sfeother lady, ho has reduced bia wife's iDoome by one half after h:n death, with . something of a self-laudatory announcement that he has already been far too g?nerons to hex during bis ufe. Ho leaves to tra wife, aa ah annuity, the inte rest of ?8000, coupled with the boastful reminder tbat be ha:: since then separation allowed ber ?600 b year. We hardly call thia "brave" or "earnest." If *Mr. Dickens had been annoyed, br his wire's temper, or lack of sympathy with his noble "nature, soma lingering touch o:f the haman kindness of *hioh we are told that he is - the '-evangelist might have warmed bis heart or j ? hispan when he came to speak ot the mother of Lia children with the-words of a dying man. -.His heart miRht be all charity ami all love to the whole human race, but it was chilly enough to one dispossessed lady, that lady his o wo wife-who, whether she bas wrongs, or sorrows, at least kept them to herself. To Misa Teman and Mise Hogarth Mr. Dickens very likely has duties, and he his cheerfully recognized them oj word and deed. Are we to believe that all his duties to bis wile were slimmed up by giving ber aa anuuity without ?ningle ward: of recognition, or if it were meedla, of forgiveness. and reconciliation? 'titer saying this, which only a sense of duty, stimulated oy the provocation offered by Mr. Dickens's worshippers, bas extorted from ns. we shah not wisto our time in exposing the ' bad taste of what the illustrions testator in? serts in his will about bis funeral. The osten? tation ot u'ioe tent?t lousness is a? off-naive as tho display of the most exaggerated love of posthumous honors and expensive obsequies; and among the social vices which Mr. Dick enee's works have exposed, the pride which apes humility ie rather curiously illustrated in his death. DICKENS'S INK AND PATER.-III the biOTa , phy of Charles Dickens, which has just b?een issued by Mr. Hotten, attention is called to the novelist's use of blue Ink. It is true that he always used a particular blue lak, which has the advantage of drying quickly, and of not clogging the pen by much use-advantages . shared by the violet Ink, now also in vogue. The fact that Mr. Dickens always used ink of decided and unalterable blue ls not better worth mentioning than another fact, namely, that he always wrote on blue paper. Now. blue Ink upon blue paper will try the eyes of most ordinary men, and some who have had scores of letters from his hand have a vivid re? collection of the difficulty of reading the pain? ful dazzle of blue upon blue, if the communi? cation was a long one. The printer who had to read his minutely written manuscript In blue upon blue must have had aline time of it. The point ls worth noting as an illustration of \ the physlcaLjperl'ectlon of his vision. Though he himself somewhere speaks of his eyes as none of the best, there never wan a man who surpassed Mm in powers ol seeing. Of course he brought a mental power of seeing to aid his aesight: but the physical organs were in their ad perfect, and did their duty with infallible accuracy and in ten ri ty. Their quickness of | ^prehension was prodigious.-.landon Daily j AMERICAS TRADE VNIONB. We extract the following interesting facta in regard to trade unions in this country from a long article on the subject in the New lora Evening Mail: Trade unions have only lately been formed in this country, but their growth has been very rapii. The first really serions attempt to es? tablish them was made in 1855, by william H. Silvias, of Armagh, Pennsylvania, an iron moulder, who, by bis writings, speeches and other labors, probably d d more than any other person to influence the formation of trade associations in the United States. Through his efforts the iron moulders organ? ized themselves into an international union, which now numbers over two hundred branches, with about 17,000 members. Newell Daniels has also exerted great influence upon American trade unionists, fie was the original projector of the order of the Knights of St. Crispin, which is second to no other trades association in size and influence, and ?B at pre lent attracting the greatest interest in the community. It has over three hundred branches, with an estimated membership of 75.000. nearly half of whom are to be found m the New England States. lite Bricklayers'National Union represents some 17,000 members, and is noteworthy on ac? count of the protracted bat unsuccessful strike which it maintained two ve irs ago. Without referring to other individual trades, we present a list of all the leading national onions throughout the country, taken from reliable sources: Branches. Membership. Miners.201 Iron Moulders.200 Knights of St. Crispin.300 Bricklayers. 70 Carpenters and Joiners.. 80 Cigar Makers. 95 CoopcrB 20 Machinists and Blacks'ths. 120 Locomotive Firemen. 35 Printers. 112 Total.1,232 174,500 It is difficult to obtain fail statistics of all the workingmen's societies in the United States, aa in many cases they have never been collected, even by the members themselves. American trade unionists are mostly united in favor of the eight hour prinoiple, which, briefly stated, claims that every mechanic should receive ten hours' pay for eight boura' work. Secondly, they are in favor of co-opera? tion, whenever tbs principle can be applied so as to make the laborer share in the profits of the capitalist. They are strongly opposed to the convict labor system, which they con ceive allows unjust competition in favor of the contractor for such labor. The Knights of St. Crispin refuse to admit any one who has served a term in any pend institution into their order, and other trades are equally rigid in their op? position to the prison-taught mechanics. Strikes, while theoretically discountenanced by some trades, are practiced by all, and are held to be the moat powerful agents which the workingmen eau employ to gain their ends. Lastly, ali unionists believe in trade unions and seek to extend them. There are other subjects-such as arbitration, apprenticeship, piece versus day work, and immigration-in which they are interested, but no definite views have as yet been promulgated upon any ofthemby the mass of workingmen, au J B J they are of less importance at present. The leaders of the workingmen may be di? vided into two classes. The first is composr-d of actual mechanics who have always worked at their trades, and who have t: e interests of their associates at heart. They are mostly native Americans, and men of intelligence and character. Th?ir homes are comfortable, and will be found to contain books, pictures and other proofs of intelligence and taste. Were their influence equal to their merits we might have much greater, hopes for the future we! firo of our workingmen, but unfortunately ic cannot compare to that of the second class of leaders. These are the charlatans and dema? gogues, most of whom properly belong to no trade at all, but aim to make the labor move? ment av steppingstone for political advance? ment. Strikes are a favorite re eon ree of working? men, yet in bat few cases have they accomp? lished any desirable results. They tend to produce bad feeling between employers and men, and in a number or instances have failed utterly. Wnerever they have been successful it has been at the outset, but in almost every case where they have been protracted the workmen have had to yield. This was to be expected in view of the su aerier power of en? durance .of capital to labor, the unionists usually having but little means to support themselves in id'eness, while the employer has alwavs some investment to depend upon. The bricklayers' Btrike in 1868 lasted fourteen weeks in the busies! season, and cost the workingmen alone, in the shape of relief money and lost wages, $100.009. The prin? ters' strike last year lasted eleven weeks and cost $60,000. The first proved a total lailnre, while the latter had to be compromised, after causing a large part of the business of tbe city to be sent to other places, some of which has never returned. Summing up all the strikes which have occurred since 1867 alone, they have led to the loss of fully Laif a million dol? lars by the men engaged in them, while the employers have lost probably doable as much.
