View ox" tho Mat? ter_Democracy Secure? the Sob* ?IMIUK) Interest? of the City and thc State. Let us look into this question and take a sober, practical view of the case. How will tho principio of De? mocracy benefit Columbia and tho State? Take up Columbia first. What do wo need here? 1. We need credit-mercantile credit. Every merchant knows the need, in his department, especially, of oredit. Tho man without capital (and how fow have oapital now) needs credit to give him a start, to givo him some? thing upon whioh to let his sagaoity aud enterprise work. Now, every sensible man knows, that a triumph? ant radicaliom will not bring credit to our merchants. The Northern merchant doubts too much tho effects in the South of radical rule, to ex? tend credit to men doing business under such influences. But let the rulo which the Democracy would i bring about prevail, and such a con? fidence would be established in its normal order of things, that orcdit wonld bo freely extended to our bu? siness mon. 2. We need capital. 8. We need immigration. We need here the settlement amongst us of good, honest working men, mecha? nics and manufacturers from tho North-not men who como with their carpet-bags-butmen who como with their families to settlo down amongst us. But neither capital nor such men will come here freely, so long ns ve have radical rule. This rule is too outrageous-too unnatu? ral-too unwise-too unreasonable. Men will think that it cannot last, and men will think that it ought not to lost. But let the wiso and just and reasonable principles of tho De? mocracy be established here, aud such peace, order and security, os to property, as to finances, as to per eons.twill bo inaugurated, as will lead to credit, capital and immigration. Thus, overy mau desiring the pros? perity of Columbia, will seek to mako tho Democratic party victorious. And iu this result the merchant is in? terested-the lawyer is interested tho manufacturer is interested-tho mechanic is interested-and both whites and colored are alika inte? rested. Tako up tho State next. What does tho Stato need? ? The same that the city needs and more. 1. Tho State needs a return to ' 'cheeiftd, wholesome self-government" ~ ns General Roscncranz has well said. Wo need that tho foundations of the Stato Government rest upon tho solid basis of the enlightened popu? lar will of the Stato-upon the basis of intelligence, wealth, and justico to all olasses. 2. Tho State needs wealth-indus? trial development-organized and ro liablo labor. 8. Tho State needs peace. Now, wo need enter into no argu? ment to show that these groat objects are to be promptly attained only un? der Democratic auspices. The fact is patent to every intelligent mind. Lot radicalism be fastened upon us, and wo fear that our poace will be dostroyed, our energies dampened, and onr industries paralyzed. Let Democracy triumph, and wo believe that it will ooma to us Uko tho sun with bealing in its beams. Thus, Democrats of the city, work for the canse. Thus, Democrats of tho State, fight on. : RIDOBWAT, S. 0., Oct. 28, ?8G8. At the last regular meeting of tho Ridgeway Fairfield Demoorat?o Olab, Maj. Robert G. Lamar presented for its consideration tho following reso? lutions: Resolved, That the thanks of the members of this Club be tendered to Capt. W. L. DePass, of Camden, for the exceedingly nblo and eloquent address with which he has this day favored them. Resolved, That a Committee of Three be appointed to carry the above resolution with affect. Resolved, That these resolutions bo published. After being duly seconded, (the resolutions were placed before the Club by its President, Col. H. C. Davis, and wore unanimously and enthusiastically adopted. Where? upon the following gentlemen were appointed upon the committee: Maj. R. G. Lamar and Messrs. Ed? ward Wm. Davis and Samuel Y. Roseborough. ? ? ? * TIIE TninuNE's LAST "OOTKAGE." The Tribune mentions "the killing of several negro convicts on the line of the Central Virginia Railroad," and remarks, "tho rebel uprising ut tho South grows day by day more bloody and alarming," These convicts, it will bo remembered, killed themselves by looping from a train at high speed. THE CAKPET-BAGGEB.-The follow? ing is an extract from a speech of Hon. T. S. Cox, of Now York: The complaint begins when the myrmidons of political power, tho mercenaries and Jiangers-ou of tho army, the Bureaucrats and adven? turers, who have "no local habitation or a name," seek to spoil the land and people. Such are tho men who, having dislocated, by their devices, the industries of the South, aud hav? ing enfranchised the inferior, and disfranchised tho superior race, steal the honors and offices that belong to self-governments, and run riot in the means which belong to tho people who live in tho States. These men are tho cuckoos who sit upon the eggs of other birds. They are the "dead beats" of politics, the scum which rises to the top of tho political boiler. [Loud applause.] The "carpet-bag? ger" is not to be described exactly as a man with a carpet-bag; but tho fact that the first legislators and spoilers in the South moved around in a mysterious way, with black car? pet-bags, having little to go on and much to get, gave tho name a generic application. He has now a fixed status. He is seldom fouud among white rieuple, but rather cultivating the negroes, inspiring them with false ideas and bad motives. Ho hus no means of support, except ho earns it by his management of negroes. Ho makes out of negro credulity a prey and a living. Ho was nt first a sharper; then on the reconstruction schemes loomiug up ho became a statesman! [Laughter, hisses and applause.] Ho had a bayonet. Ho gave out rations. Ho registered votes. Ho becanio an organio law? maker, a member of tho Legislature. The less ho had, tho more ho levied of taxes. The County and State of? ficers at first filled the goblet of his pleasure. Then ho aspired to bo Congressman and Senator! Now he hath plethora of funds! He has waxed fat and kicked-kicked the negro, and tho negro is kicking back. His present occupation is to attend to the election, coin lies for Northern circulation, and make oil who despise him appear as unrepentant rebels. [Applause. | MELANCHOLY DEATH.-We regret to learn that Miss Lula Daniel, ?oungest daughter of Major Wm. daniel, of this District, came to her death under the following most pain? ful circumstances: On Sunday, the 18th instant, while the rest of tho family were nt church, servants in tho kitchen hearing some one scream? ing, rushed into the house and found the dress of the young lady in flames. She suffered tho most excruciating agony until Wednesday following, when death relieved her of hor suf? fering. So great was her pain, she was not able to give a distinct account as to how her dross caught, but it is supposed she was standing with her back to the fire. [Edgefield Advertiser. COUNTRY THATHNG.-"Please, sir," said a snub-nosed girl, fifteen years of age, to a country dealer in dry goods, "to send ma'am the pattern of your calicoes, and put 'em cheap, for she is going to get a new gown soon, and wants to see what will wash." "Who is your ma'am?" "My ma'am is Aunt Dolly Dee, sir." "Your sister was hore yesterday, and took pattern of all I have." "Yes, sir, I know that; but then she Sewed them all up for patch-work, and would not give me any, but told me to go shopping for them myself." I Hsxlrcsio from ?ito ?oath enrol I na liepablloanc. To THE REPUBLICANS OF SOUTH CA? ROLINA: "Lot na have peace." So Bays oar great and good leader, Gea. Grant. So sa j all good Rep nbli cana. Rn wy w? tile nndcr?ie?e? members of the Republican party in South Carolina. We hold that thc Repub? lican porty is emphatically the party of peace and quiet, of law and order. We hold that any man who will com* mit or encourage violence or lawless? ness, is a criminal, and merits the unqualified condemnation of all good Republicans. We censure, without reserve, all tho recent acts of vio? lence; not only the horrible murders' of Martin, Randolph and Nance, of our own party, but also the firing upon Ward, at Newberry, and tho acts of incendiarism at Abbeville nod elsewhere. If Republicans have been engaged in any of these outrages, we denounce them as falso to the princi? ples of our party, and as criminals justly meriting the severest penalties of the law. Violence is only justi? fied in self-defence, and never in re? taliation or for revenge. It is the business of the law to punish crimes, and not of individuals. We hail with satisfaction tho ad? dress of the Democratic State Central Committee as the harbinger of better and more quiet times. Wo will glad? ly unite with tho leaders of the De? mocratic party in doing all in oar power to prevent incendiary lan? guage, to preserve the peace, to maintain order, and to assert the sapremaoy of the laws. Wo argo upon tho lenders and speakers in the Republican party tho necessity of discountenancing and condemning violence on all occasions. We call upon every member of tho Republi? can party, white or colored, to ab? stain from all acts of retaliation and violence, and to do all in his power to have guilty persons arrested and punished, whether they be Republi? cans or Democrats. Let not tho good name and noble principles of the Republicsn party be tarnished by acts of bloodshed or other crimes. Lot it be Been that the Republican party of the South, like that of the great Republican party of the North, is tho earnest and consistent advocate of law and order, of peace und har? mony, of humanity and justice. Let every Republican bo found ready to assortant! viudicate bis rights and his manhood I at the ballot-box. But every good and true Republican will scorn to violate the law. F. A. SAWYER, D. T.

Jr. THE BANK OF TUE STATE.-Tho mandamus in this case up before Jus? tice Willard yesterday. Isaac W. Hayue, Esq., opened the argument on behalf of the President and Direc? tors of the bank, and also on be? half of Baring Brothers. Tho chief point of his argument was to show that the Act under which the manda mus was prayed, was unconstitutional, because it impaired the obligation of contracts. For this purpose ho cited tbs case of Curran vs. the State of Arkansas, 15 Howard's Rep., in which tho whole matter was examined at length by the United States Supremo Court, and similar Acts of tho Ar? kansas Legislature set aside. Mr. Hayue also opposed tho mandamus, on tho ground that a suit, involving tho samo subject matter, was pending in a Court of competent jurisdiction. [Charleston News, 29th. A disastrous fire occurred on Sun? day night, at Hunter's Point, L. L The fire resulted from an explosion of kerosene on board of a Swedish brig, and communicated to the ware? houses on shore. Threo men lost their lives by tho explosion, and one man was shot by a ruffian during the conflagration. Loss of property about 8100,000. HORRIBLE.-Tho Nonpareil says a young lady was struck dumb on the 4th instant, at Council Bluffs, by the firing of a cannon. An association of married gentlemen is being organized for tho purpose of having salutes fired near their residences once a week. Mrs. Sharkey, the wife of au Au? gusta merchaut, was killed, on Wed? nesday last, by the wad from a pistol which was accidentally discharged while she was exhibiting it to a cus? tomer. NOMINATION OF SOLICITOR.-At a meeting in Pendleton, on tho 22d instant, Wm. Perry of the Greenville bar, was nominated as Solicitor of the Eighth Circuit, composing Anderson, Greenville, Oconeo and Pickeno. Advices from Cuba state that thc negroes with the rebeis, it is said, had made servants of some white people, and were lording it over them in grand style. As no foreign-born citizens, Ger? man, Irish or English, caa reach tho Presidency, the negro, under radical? ism and reconstruction, is placod above the adopted citizen. Eight boys were poisoned Dear Concord, N. H., on Saturday, from eating Indian turnips. Two have died. KtJ^ Joby Russel You o g, a promi? nent young journalist in Now York, is in luck. An uncle in the East In diss, whom he has never seen end seldom heard of, bas been so good aa to die and leave him half a million dollars. We see an incessant advertisement: ?'Church before Party."

The Charleston JSews, of yesterday, contains in full the long and elo? quent address delivered by Col. J. P. Thomas, at Laurens Court Honse, on tho 21st instant. As the campaign is about to close, a number of the friends and admirers of Col. Thomas wero desirous that his views on tho political question now agitating the country should bo placed before tho world through the columns of a newspaper; and as Col. T. has never appeared before tho people of tho sea-board, it was deemed advisable that, his epeech should appear in a Charleston paper. The News, in commenting on the address, says: "We publish, this morning, the full text of tho elaborate aud master? ly speech delivered by Col. J. P. Thomas, Democratic Presidential Elector at large, at Laurens Court House, on October 21. Col. Thomas is well known as a ripe and profound thinker, and his views cannot fail to command the attention which they merit." LAST BUT NOT LEAST-GRAND RAL? LY OF TUB LEXINGTON DEMOCRACY AT THE COURT HOUSE-AN IMMENSE CROWD.-Yesterday was a gala day in Lexington. The train from Colum? bia and tho train from the head of the railroad, each brought to thc Lexington Depot a large crowd of passengers. The procession was formed nt the depot. First came the cavalry escort of malo and female riders alternating, and presenting a beautiful sight. Even Gen. Hamp? ton pronounced this mixed company I the finest body in his Hue that he had ever seen. This corps, finely mounted, numbered about thirty good and true young ladies and young men. Next came the speakers, in buggies and carriages. Then came the processionists proper. With mnsic at the head, the procession moved upon Lexington. Thisreached, we came upon a vast crowd, esti? mated at about ^3,000 persons, of whom there were about 1,000 ladies. Col. J. B. Palmer, tho Chairman of the meeting, then introduced, suc? cessively, Gen. Hampton, Col. Reed, Gen. Kennedy and Col. Thomas. The crowd gavo thc speakers an earnest attention. Gen. Hampton, as usual, showed that his valor in war was' equalled only by his wiso conservatism in peace. Col. Reed was^humorous, strong and effective. Gen. Kennedy was earnest, impressive and eloquent, and Col. Thomas' closing sentiment, that Heaven woald defend tho right and save our stricken State, met with a hearty response. Next Maj. Meetze, President of tho Lexington Central Club, gave some local information, and urged tho people to rally to the polls on the 3d proximo. Then came tho ample barbecue dinner-which closed tho exercises of tho day. After this, the immense crowd quietly broko up. Wo must not omit to mention thal several of the speakers alluded, in s complimentary way, to Gov. Scott'c proclamation, that appeared in the Phoenix, of yesterday. Gen. Hamp ton read the paper referred to, in tin hearing of the crowd, comment?e upon its pacific and conciliatory sen timen ts. expressed bi? great satisfac tion at seeing such a document, ant urged tho people'to sustain the Go vernor, who was certainly a Govemoi de /neto, when ho thus showed a dis position to do them justice and tc pursue the right. And the crowe responded to these suggestions. Tho whole of General Hampton') speech was eminently pacific, and in deed, all the speakers spoke in i similar tone. Tims ended ono of the most sue cessful demonstrations we have at tended during the campaign. Tin Lexington Domocracy, male and fe malo, turned ont nobly. Mark ou word-old Lexington will do he: whole duty to the Democracy on tb 3d November next. Fellow-Demo erato of the State! "Strain ever; nerve and press with vigor on." Wo take pleasure in calling parti oular attention to the fitting of shirts ont or made at the "Ladies' Indus? trial Association." Dr. F. S. Lorrie-, o?

"BEE STORE"-IT IS LIKE THE BEE STORE.-C. F. Jackson surely has a run of trade; his place is crowded each day, and his assistants are as busy as bees. A busy man is a locomotive, and life a track.

In this routine of business he forgets that the physical organization is of the most delicate kind. If a hard iron locomotive needs constant care, and to be well oiled up and rubbed off every day, how much moro necessary is it that all men and women should uso PLANTATION BITTERS, which are tho nc plus ultra of overy thing which is necessary to keep the system in a perfect tone of health.
