L. a c. Wednesday Morning, Befit 1, 1P89. No Hew Fart) -But New Vitt. - We are not disposed to ignore the li? beral apirit that has boon manifested noi : only in Virginia and Tennessee, but also in the ranks of tbe radical party else? where. Nor are we inclined to indulge in any harah criticism upon the plausible notion entertained by some thai another party organization on the" part "of* the Democratic masses of th? South would result in good; We favbr latitude ; of Jhonfut ?nd ex? pression, and advocate independence even within the lines of ppr ty, forma? tions. Yet we submit that'there can come no good from tho proposed ?'third party"-atleast, to -tibe anti-radicalists. We need, evit?me ^?hrnal has well ex? pressed it, net so mttoh a new pnrty os new vigor, Hence, it is, entertaining these views, that we are. gratified to find that littio favor attends the suggestion to form "a third party" in South Caroli? na, It ?S likely that the an ti-radi cal peo? ple and press will romain united, as nsu all,'' jj^'j?^SA?sfiod that tho Ba?d move cab dO' no teaod to the anti-radicalists, and if co'uB^mrfla.^?d, would do harm, 'Shd hnrrn only. At this time, to say the least, it would divido tbe whites, ??nd gain no strength from tho colored rotors. Already has the chief organ of the m dioate^^ on this point. is no ground for com promise.. It holds that South Carolina "Republicen is ni" is as pure natue artioio over gots to be. If radicals elsewhere have been proscriptive and ?xtromo, not so here! In South Ca? rolin's^ from tij$ first, radicalism has been liberall Ahr} it adds that the Re? publican party of South Carolina stands n cm, and has ever . stood, upon the very ground since taken by Walker, in Virgi? nia, and by Souter, in Tennessee. Thus, it argues, why establish a "conservative Republican party,*' when you have got one already ? Now, these views will no doubt be ac? cepted by the great majority of those who have been* sustaining radicalism here. And if so, it can be seen at a glance what chance there is for the .'third party" movement. No; not in this way, Carolinians, can yon redeem your State; nor can you get any nearer to your salvation than earnestly to ud here to a liberal Demooracy. In that faith let us romain firm. Let tho columns remain united, though open to acces? sions; and when we do win a victory, lot it be ono the fruits of which will be en? during and substantial. Though,, however, no new party is called for, let it be borne in mind that there is room in the old for new life new energy-new vigor. In the last Presidential canvass we favored a pro? gressive and a liberal policy on tho part of the national Democracy, und we ad? vocated a qualified suffrage for the freed? man as not only right in itself, but ns a necessary concession to the opinions of our friends in the North. We believe that time has vindicated tho wisdom of tho policy adopted by the South Caro? lina Democracy, though success did not reward their efforts. Now, as then, wo advocate a liberal, progressive Demo? oracy-one that recognizes accomplished facts-that deals with living and practi? cal issues, and one that will commend itself to the support and confidence of all true, moderate and reasonable men, and bring iuto hearty co-operation all of tho best elements of the State. The Montgomery, Ala., Advertiser de? clares that all that can be said of the bat? tle of Gettysburg is that Gen. Leo failed to carty the position of the Federal army-that "it was a cJieck of the invad? ing force, and although the effect of this chook was, remotely, of exceeding ad? vantage to the Washington Government, still, in a purely physical sense, the ^at? tie was really a drawn one." "Subse? quently," it oontinues, "Gon. Lee, after awaiting and apparently courting attack for three days, retreated into Virginia without tho disorganization of a single brigade." General John Coburn has written an? other lotter in favor of tho removal of the national capital. Ho speaks of the new demands to be made for millions for buildings iu Washington, and urges that if the same amount were expended in a self-sustaining city, no further calls would bo made for city improvements. He also thinks that thc capital should bc removed from the social iufluoucesof thc East, and placed where the purifying, nationalizing and patriotic power of the great Mississippi Valley shall bo felt. -?????.

TIM Haw Kodlcal Mala laSamt* Ca^ollaa. From tho demagogue-like speech at olaasJ? hall-?rom tipo tone oj? several. edj?briels in me CBarlostOn? Republican, ar? from tW-ideas imt^for?-by tkV Columbia correspondent of eaid paper, we observo the new role of pseudo-Re? publicanism in this State. Having j doped tho colored voters, and bound most of them fast in party chains, the ridiculous o Cfo rt is n ow m ak?u g to array th? poorer class of whites against what is colled "thor aristocracy" and "big men," and radicalism is commended to the laboring2 class of whites ns tho very thing for thom-! Unfortunately for tho argument, wo are all very poor now, ex? cept, for tho most part, those adventurers and' native' renegades that are preying npon the body of tho State; and, as for "aristocracy," tho only aristocracy that we know of is that of intellect and virtuo, excepting the aristocracy of tho bond-holders, whom it is-the special duty of radicals to uphold. The potty effort will scarcely suooeod, nor'can all tho labors of ps?udo-Republieanism com? mend it to intelligent, thinking men. Certain it is that the strong bond of sym? pathy between all those who. oppose the intriguen, corruption and misrule Of the ruling party in this State, cannot bo dis? turbed by tho obvious artifices now being employed. Another poiut: It seems now to be regarded very desirable to secure .,-hUe accessions, It appears that it is no longer deemed safe for the radical pyramid to rest upon, a bitch base, and the white stone which tho builders have heretofore refused they would now like to make tho. corner stone. Accordingly we are asked to believe that, under tho influence of "State Senator Wimbush's" eloquent harangues in Chester and Lan? caster, a number of white men came forward and struck hands with tho per? suasive orator. And so. too, we aro told that the Loyal League of Columbia is in a flourishing condition, meets freqjently and numbers so many whites among its faithful member^ Now, if there are 100 whites who meet tho League in .Tanney's Hall, as tho Republican's correspondent says, the community would doubtless like to know them-not for proscription -not for malediction-but for curiosity. Titree Prominent White Citizen* Seized and Hard} Escaped Hanging-Tlie Rtugleadera Captured. From a gentleman who arrived yester? day morning on the train from Macon, we learn the following particulars of a negro riot in Burko County, which, but for tho prompt measures of the white citizens, would bave been attended with most serious results: It appears that the dead body of a ne? gro was found on Sunday morning at Herndon, Station No. 9, on tho Central Railroad. Tho cause of his death was unknown, but the negroes in that vicini? ty at once attributed it to the Ku Klux; and as a rumor to this effect soon circu? lated, gaining additional horrors as it spread, tho excitement among them be? came intente. From all the neighboring plantations they began to assemble, evi? dently summoned by some controlling authority, until nt least 300 armed men were holding angry council. Without going to any examination or inquiry as to tho cause of the death, they determined to tako tho law into their own hands-or rather to disregard all law, and hang th reo of tho most promi? nent citizens of the place, ns they al? leged, in retaliation for tho murder of one of their color. Accordingly, they ar? rested three brothers namoi! Jones most respectable citizens, and doubtless well known to many in Savannah-whom they dragged away from their terrified families without explaining thc nature of their designs upon them, or allowing a last word, and hurried into tho woods. Without delay, they began to make preparations to hang their tbreo victims, who now for tho first time realized the horrible fate awaiting them. With ad? mirable presence of mind, ono of tho brothors begged to bo allowed to go un? der escort to say farewell to the families of tho three, and give soire last direc? tions to them. To this, the yelling de? mons would not accede; but, finally, through tho intercession of one of the negroes, whoso heart was hardly as black as his skin, they consented, und the brothers parted, with this slender thread of hopo buoying them up, that the de? lay might afford timo for a rescue. Ar? rived at his house, Mr. Jones managed to escape from his escort and make his way to the station just as a train was coming in. His story was quickly told, and, as quickly ns a locomotivo could do it, the train was backed down to Milton, where a forco of fifty armed men was hurriedly collected and en route for tho scene of this outrage. Meanwhile the hanging party had delayed their opera? tions, waiting for tho return of those who had escorted Jones, while they, in their turn, ignorant of the direction he had taken in his flight, bad kept up n vain search, not daring to rotnrn with? out him. Tho arrival upon the scene of theso fifty determined and well-armed men put an end at once to tho court of Judgo Lynch, rescued tho two con? demned men and caused an instanta? neous stampede of tho negroes. Several of the ringleaders were, however, cap? tured and given up to the proper au? thorities, who will, wo trust, deal with them as t"hey eminently deserve. \Savannah Advertiser.

Nc ono who has ??? tb? proced?.gs of$3on*ees*?noe th^entarenoe im%o that bfj ofV?tfWr^-bag olaso of member* oatt have faned to notice the little infla .erj?? that j?bjs olass exerts. With rare ezoeptiona, these persons iure wanting in thoso intellectual and moral traite that command respeot; and the foot, generally admitted, that they have obtained their offices by petty means, canses them to stand iD no enviable Hgbteven ia tho eyes of mon in tho North of their own party. Speaking of the carpet-bag class of Con? gressmen, tho New York World says: Now.that the people of the Southern Stntes are slowly emerging from the con? dition of captives to recover their rights with their duties as citizens of the Union, it will beginj perhaps, to be clear to all men's perceptions not only'-that tho chu-a of persons known as "carpet-baggers" really aro held in contempt at the South, but, also, that they deserve to bo hoi'1 in contempt, and thnt in tho North ns will as in the South. The carpet-bag in it? self is a harmless necessary impediment enough, nor is it intrinsically contempti? ble that a man whose whole worldly goods are compressible within a carpet? bag should pack them into one, tnko it np, and set forth in search of fortuno. Honest men, men of sense and of cha? racter, with or without carpet-bags, are needed in the South, as they aro needed in tho West, in the East-wherever there is work to bo done, wherever there are re? sources to bo developed and opportuni? ties to be put to profit. Nor is there any reason to suppose that tho South, any more than the Wost or East, desires to repel such persons from its borders. The "carpot-bagger" whom the South abhors is co sich.person. Tbc true and odious "estipeJ-bigger" is apolitical ad? venturer who hus got piase hod pelf for himself by making the poverty and pa litical prostration of tho Southern whites work together with tho credulity and ig noran ce bf the Southern blacks for his peraojnal. advancement. All honest and respectable Northern leaders of tho party with which such adventurers have neces? sarily acted know perfectly well that the I arts and influences by which the "car? pet-baggers" have gained their object are influences and arts which no honest and respectable man could possibly uso either at the South or nt the North. Knowing this, they naturally shun all but the most strictly formal associations for strictly political purposes with such persons. Tho average radical Congressman frcm the North is not much of a boro, nor does he greatly resemblo the Douglas of Sir Walter Scott's chivalric poem. But he has sense and self-respect enough to make ns sharp a difference between the official and tho personal daims of the average radical "carpet-bagger" from tho South ns was made by (ne grim Old Earl between the official and the person? al claims of tho Euglish envoy: "My manors, hallo, and bowers shall ?till Bo open at my aovoreign'a will To each one whum he lista, howe'er Unmeet to be the owner's peer ; ??#?#? The hand of Donglaa is his own, And never shall in friendly grasp The hand of such as Marmion clasp." This abject and twilight condition of the radical carpet-baggers in Congress is one of the many hopeful auguries of the near dawning of a better day. Tho con? tempt in which these men aro held is re? acting, slowly, perhaps, but surely, upon tho system which has called them into being. Tho spectacle of a class of Con? gressional Pariahs representing tho ty? ranny of nu ignorant minority over an intelligent majority, cannot but be revolt? ing to a free people. Armies and acts of Congress may muke such a spectacle pos? sible for a time. They cauuot make it for any long timo tolerable. PITCHED BATTLE IN TENNESSEE.-Au exciting fight took place at Pocahontas Station, on the Memphis und Charleston Railroad, last Monday. A notorious horse thief had been arrested a few days before and committed to jail at that place. On Monday morning, about 1? o'clock, a party of some ten men, strangers iu thc region, and supposed to bo residents of the neighborhood adja? cent to tho village of Jonesboro, in Itawamba County, Mississippi, rode into Pocahontas, and after "liquoring np" pretty freely, commenced swaggering about tho village, expressing their deter? mination to rescue the prisoner, if they had to shoot every man in the town to do it. This put the authorities on their guard, and when the rescuers were drunk I enough to begin their little gamo, they wore met by a posse of determined men. A fight ensued, commenced by the ma? rauders, in which they were terribly worsted, the first volley of the posse bringing six of them down seriously wounded. A regular battle was gone through with, in whioh, strango to say, only ono of tho citizens was wounded Mr. George Nnglo bciug shot through the thigh. Tho horse thieves, findiug themselves out-generaled, mounted their horses and fled in hot haste, leaving two of their wounded in the hands of tho authorities. Pocahontas, on tho borders of McNairy County, Tennessee, and about seventy miles from Memphis, is tho rallying point for as desperate n gang of ruffians us ever cut a throat or stole a horse.-Memphis Appeal. Tho recent marriage of thc Governor of Florida is thus feelingly noticed iu tho Pensacola Commercial: His Excellency Harrison Reed, Go? vernor of Florida, by tho grace of tho "Voudoo," has taken to himself a wife, during his recent trip North. Wo feel very kindly on all such occasions, and our joy and warmest wishes for the Go? vernor's futuro happiness aro only damp? ened by the fear that the State of Florida will have to pay tho expenses of the bridal tour, as sho has already paid the expenses of a private law suit and a poli? tical excursion. ----Sr-*"11 i . Rx-Pr??ld?nt JrArMB Darli-Ei-Poot i?Mte?-G?ei?er?l Reagan's Statement. The following ia jw extosot from a late fetter of Mr. Itegafj de&din?his late chief from certaiqc unf ou?ed Aarges* ( " Ia this connec&n I tank it right.for me to ' ^nko a staMme$t il jostle to Air. Davis, which has not heretofore-laen modo public, as far as I know, and a part of whioh is only known to him and myself: In coming through South Caro? lina, he and myself riding ahead of our company, passed a cabin on the roadside, when he asked a woman who was stand? ing in the door for a drink of water. On handing it to him sbo said, "Are you President Davis?" On his replying in the affirmative she said to him, pointing to ?? little boy barely large enough to walk a little, "That's your namesake; we call him Jeff. Davis." He took from his pocket a gold coin, apparently the size of a three dollar piece or sovereign, and, handing it to her, told her to give it to the little boy, saying to mo as he rode off that that was his last piece of coin, whioh he'had kept as a sort of keepsake on account of its being a coiu seldom seen in this country. * Subsequently, when in company with several members of bia Cabinet, the sub? ject of their finances was mentioned, and their poverty was made, among themselves, the subject of passiug amusement. Mr. Davis took out his pocket-book and counted, I think, about S270 in Confederate Treasury notes, then nlmost entirely worthless, and said, laughingly, that was his fortune in money. He then added, that it was a sourqe of jfrat?fi?ufioi? rather thau of re? gret that uinitfelf and nearly all the mem? bers pf b.i? Cabinet hud sacrificed their private fortunes in the struggle for the liberty of the people. I will also add that when it was determined, after the 'surrender of General Johnston, to trans? fer the field af military Operations to the West of the Mississippi, one of his Cabi? net told Mr. Davis that ho had money enough to take them both across that river. Theso facts aro given to show the in? justice which has been done to ono whose hopes, and thoughts and energies were all wholly devoted to tho cause, then so denr to us, in which he was engaged; and who, amidst his all-engrossing pub lie duties and responsibilities, took no thought of his private fortune or of his personal safoty. I am persuaded that the wise, and good, and honorable, ev?>n among those who thought him wrong in his support of the cause of Southern independence, and imperilled their lives in opposing him on the battle-field, will accord to him sincerity of convictions as to the righteonsnoss of the causo in which ho was engaged, integrity of purpose, and those great qualities of head and heart which titted him to bo tho leader of a heroic people in a great struggle. I know the time has not yet fully como for explanations like this to be received without offence to the prejudices of many good people, who have only viewed Mr. Davis of late years as a public ene? my. But I trust now, since that cause bas been forever abandoned, the gene? rous and just will see that I but perform a duty to one who, while he is in a dis taut land, is yet very dear to me and to millions of others in tho United States. The President of tho Norfolk, Va., Board of Trade, recently recoived a let? ter from Commodore Jansen in relation to the proposed establishment of a line of steamers between Norfolk and Flush? ing, in which bc speaks against going to Liverpool to meet the New York interest, but advocates the opening of direct trade with Holland. He says thero is no difficulty about establishing this trade on the Holland side, for all tho present and future exports from Norfolk will find n ready market there; but thc difficult.) is on the Norfolk side, where there is no market for tho German exports, and on account of tho mixed population, and the want of centreing railroads and other avenues of drainage from tho interior country. He has been telling tho Hol? land merchauts not to go to New York among tho thirty-six steamers that arrive thero every month, and have great diffi? culty in getting return cargoes, but to send their steamers to Norfolk, with cash to buy retina carg?os from tho planters, because they aro poor. In the beginning ! there will be difficulty in disposing o? the cargoes from Holland, as well as in iuducing emigrants to go to Virginia, but in two or three years he believes a brisk trade can bo built up. To succeed, how? ever, ho says there must be earnest and fuithfnl co-operation on the American side. Ho hopes to receive n substantial offer from Virginia to present to the Di? rect Trade Convention, which meets in Flushing in October, so that Norfolk and tho South may rolizo tho benefits which mnst assuredly acciUo from such a lino of commerce. As North Carolina, Tennessee, Ken? tucky, and even the States of Illinois and Indiana, may eventually bo largely benefitted bj- the selection of Norfolk as the port on this side, tho nttontion ol I capitalists should bo at onco onlisted in j the subject. Norfolk has one of tho best . harbors in tho United States, and is ad I mirably located as tho groat central entrepot for n largo portiou of tho pro I ducts of tho valloys of tho Mississip? pi and Ohio Rivers. What it wonts now is tho opening of tho water lino to th'; Ohio, and several railroads to tho Mis I sissippi, connocting | with thc Pacific roads and thc trunks to tho North-west and South-west.

Alexander has resigned the Chair of Mathematics and Engineering in the University. It is well known that Gen. Alexander filled his chair with distinguished ability. In his resignation the University loses a Professor, who by his fine attainments and high character, reflected honor upon the institution. ROBBERY.-A man calling himself Mc Rae, who was stopping at thc Washing? ton HonsOj succeeded, on Sunday night last, in robbing some of the boarders of clothing, a silver watch, and a valise. The valise was marked "W, S. S., Co? lumbia, S. C." Said McRae is described as being sallow complected, aud inclined to stutter. Thc family of Mrs. Stratton, tho proprietor of the house, also suffered some loss. Ir IS THE FIRST STEP THAT COSTS. A story is told of one of our amateur cotton planters which is worth telling. Ho came with fine enthusiasm to the conclusion that tho time for picking had come. So he ordered his boy to tako his basket and pick only what he noticed was white. In half au hour's time, the boy returned with a basket fnll of while cotton blooms. It i.s said that Mr. E. does not agree with Mark Twain in his opinion that cursing is in order only when one thinks of "taxes and house rents." Wo aro indebted to the Hon. Eugene Casserly for a copy of his speech on the fifteenth amendment and tho labor ques? tion. This speech was delivered in San Francisco, Cal., July 28. It is an earn? est protest against Chinese importation. He states that from ber vost swarms China could, without feeling the loss, throw upon our shores 10,000,000 ol able-bodied men-2,000,000 moro than all >he able-bodied males in tho United States. Ho urges the policy of pro? viding against this Asiatic avalanche. The speaker thoroughly reviews tho whole field connected with tho Chinese, and advocates broadly and squarely the interests of white as opposed to Chinese labor. The United States Court, which is in session in Greenville, Jadgo Bryan pre? siding, was engaged from Monday until Friday evening, of last week, in the trial of our esteemed fellow-citizen, Cap? tain Wm.
