The discussion which has been going
on, ia the newspapers, with regard io
party names, involves tho shadow cather
thad tho substance. It is a bootless de?
bate, nnd we may as well turn oar atten?
tion to more substantial matters. Tho
essence o?TT"??riy"l8^
and policy, aad .not in its namo. For
ourselves, wo desire to be understood as
projJoBifag^o(wj po new nnrne for tho De?
mocracy ei tiler here br elsewhere. True,
we have distinctly laid it down that our
Democ' acy is liberul, vital and progres?
sive; but wo have no special desire tb at it
should spring forth.'at this time, or auy.
other timo, with any prefix whatever.
The Winnsboro Neics and the Orange?
barg Neios proposed to ajnk the name of
Democracy into that of "Conservative
Republicanism.'* But we desired to fall'
into no "slough of despond,M such us
wo felt this might result in, and so wo
ob^ectei.' ? The" Charleston Nenes, in'
State politics, wants tb sink "Democrat"
inW^'Abti-^^ at?d the Barn
well Journal suggests that "Conserva?
tivo" would -be less offensive than ""De?
mocrat" to radical ears polite. ' With
due deference to our respected co tempo?
raries, it appears to us that no great re?
sult? will be effected by that means,
whatever name maybe agreed upon.
Names, espeoiu??y when taken for an
open and avowed purpose, will influence
very few suffragans. Aa for ourselves,
thia journal is a Democratic one, and its
mode pf making proselytes and gaining
adherents is to commend Demooraoy to
its opponents by the fair, just and liberal
principles it upholds and the open policy
it advocates. A* before distinctly stated,
oar polioy proposes to make South Caro?
lina prosperous; and for the immediate
present, we deem it wise to array against
the radical regime all the anti-radical ele?
ments Of the State. In this way, we aro
anti-radical-as much so as those who
assume that specific name. But we are
that, and more than that, when we come
to look at tlie general political principles
that we uphold. Apart from these con?
siderations, do our friends not see that
there are solid advantages to accrue to
us from association with a national party?
We admit that every State should subor?
dinate the interests of any -J at ional party
to its own local interests-for with the
State rests the great body of our rights.
Primarily, we should certainly look out
for ourselves. We should not depend
upon others for relief. And should the
question spring up as between the inte?
rests of South Carolina and the interests
of any national party whatever, it would
not take us long to apply the Democratic
principle and provide for home interests.
But this wo suggest: Assume that there
exists no antagonism between a State
and national party; let it be taken for
granted that their iuterests are concur?
rent ; and does it not at once appear to
the impartial mind, that there are pecu?
liar and eminent advantages to accrue to
a State party from an alliance with a na?
tional organization? We need not seek
to establish the proposition. It is self
evident. But to illustrate: Does not the
radical party ia South Carolina derive
aid and comfort and confidence from its
connection with the general radical
party? It certainly does. And we take
it that it is not the less true that the au
ti-radicali8ts of South Carolina would
derive no little advantage from finding
themselves ia accord with a body of men
North, Sooth, East, and West, having a
common purpose and a common party
bannar. Hence it is that, in our opi?
nion, our "Democratic alliance," to
which wo have before referred, is not
a suggestion to be contemptuously thrust
aside. That "third party" movement
is very far from being a success. The
elements that go to compose it, are
yet floating in empty space. And who
knows but that they may yet quietly
enter the Democratic mass, enlarging,
and strengthening, and vitalizing it
leaveniogAthe lump, if you please. Who
knows but that the New York Herald
may not be right and sagacious when it
suggests that all opposition to radicalism
must concentrate in the Democratic organi?
zation, or else be frittered away. Our
hope is, that the Democratic party will
wisely adjust itself to the circumstances
around it, and be a party for the coun?
try, and the whole oountry. Our hope
is, that it may step out to rescue tho land
from the reckless role of the reigning
power. If it shall come up to tho mea?
sure of its duties and responsibilities,
who can say but that the name of Demo?
crat may yet be a pleasant one in tho ears
of a united country.
Having said this much by way of plac?
ing ourselves reclus in curia, we shall
henceforth deal with the kernel, and lay
the shell aside.

end hinted that martial law for Edge

upon.
There is no earthly nso for martial law
in Edgefield,-without it be to quiet the
guilty fears and assure tho personal

civil government as wo"stilt posse!?
bab, that is nonsense! We meun to say
that wa hope, for the aake of such poor
odds and ends of peaco as we still enjoy,
that Governor Scott will not listen to
these suggestions. It is too late in tho
progress of this revolution to repeat the
ghastly experiments' in 'Tennessee and
Arkansas, whilo tho paasious of the war
were not yet ourb?d. There is no surer
method of lighting np -a war* of-.races
hero than to add; to the ?iyjl grievances
of tho people, nil but intolerable as they
are, the presence and domination of a
black militia. The negro guard around
our jail, abd the ammunition within it,
hre quito enough. - For God's sake, let
martial law stop at this.
There is peril nu.d blood in this matter
of martial law and negro militia, and we
beg Oeweruor Scott to consider weil of
it. The whites wish and mean no harm
to tho ne^?oesr-^we say it emphatically
but they certainly do mean to protect
themselves, their families ami their pro?
perty, against tho perils of a barbarian
mob, inflamed' tp desperation by a half
dozen alien and traitorous white men.
Tho presonce of militia will intensify this
purposo, for they will be regarded not as
protectors of the peace of society, but as
shields and guarantees of safety to tho
devils who have done, and are still doing,
all the mischief. The people of Edge
field have been gratuitously and need?
lessly insulted, degraded, trampled
upon, tyrannized over, as people never
were before-never! We will not and
oannot put up with a militia here after
the Brownlow or Clayton pattern. If tho
so-called civil administration, of which
Governor Scott is the chief, is powerless
to preserve order in a "reconstructed
State of the Union," then let us be
turned over again to tho protectiou of
the army of the United States. Any?
thing is preferable to a militia rule,
swayed bj* such wretches as would sway
it here. Tho risk of life-death itself
is preferable to any such rule ns this. It
is too lato for a repetition of Tennessee
and Arkansas history iu this matter.
With respect to tho meeting recently
held in Edgcfield, where 5,000 persons
wore said to bo present, according to
radical account, the Edgeficld Advertiser
says:
Now as to the number of tho au?
dience, there was not a human being
over 1,200, if so many. And ns to tho
presence of "both races," the whites
were confined to some three or four citi?
zens of the town, who went out of mero
curiosity, and soon left in dusgust; and
to H?ge, Jacksou, Realf, Eichelber, and,
perhaps, a half dozen of our residont
State Constables. Even the few pro?
fessed white Republicans {very few, thank
God!) who dwell in our midst, were not
present. These Intter, as they always do
on such occasions, evinced no desire to
herd with the negroes and carpet-bag?
gers. Tho meeting was the least re?
spectable one we havo ever known to bo
held iu Edgcfield.
Hogo's speech, as published in thc
Republican, is a bare skeleton of tho
speech he actually made. The former as
compared to the lattor is as houoy com?
pared to vitriol. As mischievous, as
venomous, as weak, us ridiculous, as it
appears in the Republican, it was ten
times moro so in tho delivery. We did
not hear it, bul wo have heard of it
from certain colored people, radicals,
too, who are neither fools nor liars. In?
deed, wo think Hogo rather disgusted
the more sensible portion of the blacks.
VniTUB'S RBWABD.-An incident like
this comos to the reader like au oasis to
tho traveler. It shows that, even in this
world, where vice in all its forms PO gene?
rally prevails, and even in gay and not
over-virtuous Paris, humanity at times
displays its finer features. An exchange
says:
Thc stormy times in France havo
yielded a rich harvest to Gabrielle, the
beautiful and well-known "newspaper
girl," at Paris. She is a handsome young
woman, of undisputed virtue, who has
established such a reputation that all
Parisians and strangers consider it au
honor to pay her double price for the
papers whioh she sells, and during the
riots she received os much as fifty francs
per journal from many of the rich young
men about town. She has amassed a co?
lossal fortune already.
DELEGATES TO THE POMOLOOICAL CON?
VENTION.-General Hagood, President of
tho State Agricultural and Mechanical
Society, hos appointed the following
delegates to represent this society iu the
Pomolog?as! Convention, to meet in Phi?
ladelphia on the 15th: Dr. A. P. Wylie,
of Chester ; H. W. Ravenel, of Aiken;
and B. C. Prossley, of Charleston.
We have received the prospectus of
Washington College, Virginia, of which
General Leo is President. Its Faculty is
an able body, and its curriculum is au
admirable blending into ono of the
classical and mathematical systems of
education.
One of our exchanges states that in
the death of General Rawlins, the Sooth
has lost its best friend in Grant's Cabi?
net.
WarJbad%fi? afflioSTior aotafrUtp*
?astitermina?d in Iiis death, Waehing
Jpn,f#hortly aSer 4 o'clock, yesterday af
tbrnobn. Gtetferal BavHas ,mj be ?aid
to havo exemplified in the circumstances
of bis death a trait which is attributed to
him a? characteristic-steadiness and
faithfulness in the discbarge of doty
for lie appears to have continued in the
performance of the functions of bis im?
portant office of Hec reta ry o f War ?4moat
op to the last) day of his existence. His
attack was n hemorrhage of the lungs,
which ueized bim less than a mouth ago.
Hu recovered so that he was able to rido
out, and even to resume bia functions ia
the War Office, but relapsed. From that
time his condition nltcrnutcd betweon the
extremes. There are probably few men
whose death will be more felt ia the na?
ture of personal loss by the President.
Qeneral Rawlins was yet a young man.
He was born February 13, 1831, in Joe
Davies County, Illinois, and there re?
sided till he entered tho military service'
in 1861. He commeoced lifo humbly,
having been originally engaged ia char?
coal burning, during wbioh time, how
over, ho made the best of all opportuni?
ties for procuring au education. In
1853 ho began tho study of tho law in
Galena, and ns curly as a year afterwards
was admitted to the bar as a copartner
with his law instructor. But while con?
tinuing the practice of his profession, he
manifested some interest in politics also,
as ?a Democrat. Ho adhered to Mr.
Douglas iu 1860, and as tho candidate
for elector in ' the First Congressional
District of Illinois, canvassed the Dis?
trict in behalf of the Douglass ticket, as
was conceded with ability.
Having done, in his judgment, all that
one in his position could to avert Hie
war, when it did come be eagerly deter?
mined upon his course, and after thu
first battle of Bull Run ho commenced to
raise the Forty-tilth or "Lead-mine" re?
giment, Illinois infantry, when, in Au?
gust, ho received from Qeneral Grant,
with whom be had been acquainted from
the time of bis settling in Galena, the
tender of a position on his staff, which
he accepted. General Rawlins joined
General Grant on the 15th of September,
at Cairo, Illinois, os his assistant adju?
tant-general, and was with him from
that time iu all his battles and cam?
paigns, until the surrender of the Army
of Northern Virginia, at Appomattox
Court House, except about two months,
when he was absent for tho treatment of
a bronchial affection. Commencing as
captain, he was in 1862, as chiei of staff,
promoted to lieutenant colonel, in 1863
to brigadier-general of volunteers, and
in February, 1865, to brevet major-gene?
ral of volunteers. March, 3, 1865, he
was appointed chief of staff to the lieu
tenant-geueral commanding, with the
rank of brigadier-general in thc United
States army, and was subsequently bre?
veted major-general United States nrniy,
to rank from March 13, 1S65.
In 1866 Congress created thc title of
General, which, was bestowed on Lieu?
tenant-General Grunt; at tho snmc time
General Rawlins was designated as chief
of staff to the general commanding tho
armies. Shortly after General Grant
had entered upon thc Presidential oftine,
he nomiuatcd General Rawlins to thc
Senate aa Secretary of War, and he was
confirmed, relieving General Schofield,
who had been discharging tho duties of
tho office. Thc relations between the
President and General Rawlins were in?
timate and confidential, and the former
had great faith ir. tho judgment nnd in?
telligence of the lutter as n temperate
and discreet adviser. General Rawlins,
it is stated, had made himself, as chief
of uta fl", well acquainted with the recon?
struction laws, and with this experience,
he devoted himself anew, aa Secretary of
War, to the work of reconstruction, aud
constantly urged tho conciliatory policy
reflected in General Grant's letters and
official communications nt the close of
tho campaign.-Baltimore Sun.
The Mormons, it is reported, aro now
discussing the question of tho propriety
of abolishing polygamy, and David
Smith, the sou of the well-known Joseph
Smith, the founder of tho sect, has been
denouncing tho practice in his sermons
lately delivered at Salt Lako City. Brig?
ham Young, the present leader, who
professes tp bold power in trust for
David Smith, is also reported to have
told Mr. Colfax, two years ago, thal lt
was not improbable a new revelation
might bo received abolishing polygamy.
Under these circumstances a change in
tho institutions of the Mormons may be
expected. The Pacific Railroad has been
completed, and tho difficulties expe
I rienced ia 1857, ia Beading oat troops
and supplies to Utah, will not be in?
curred. Polygamy is forbidden by the
laws of the United States; the present or
future administrations may endeavor to
euforce the statute, and the success of
tho United States army will bo certain.
Again, the Mormons desire to build a
railroad from Salt Lake City to Promon?
tory Point, the assistance in land grants
and bonds from the Government cannot
be asked for unless obedience bo pro?
mised to the laws. The current of emi?
gration is also bringing settlers around
Salt Lake and tho isolation of the Mor?
mon community cannot be preserved.
As far as the dispute in the sect is con?
cerned, David Smith is reported to bo 'a
man of education and influence, is under
thirty years of age, whiie Brigham
Young is ignorant, and his powers are
on the decline. The influence of tho re?
form party, it is supposed, will be very
great, and will effect a ohange in the
castoras.-Charleston Courier.
A STEAM PLOUGH.-The Sumter News

SOLETtfN DENIAL BY LORD II?HON ON HIS
.> ? DEATH-BED.
fi Iq a conversation I bsd with tho late
Field Marshal, the Dake of Wellington
thor warrior of Waterloo-and having
reaa my "Biography of General Presi?
dent Harrison," he was pleased to say
that he wished such ,a peu would do him
justice after his death? iu regard to the
only event of his life in which justice
had not been done, viz: "It is said that
I could have saved the .lifo of the brave
Marshal Ney. X could not. I tried.
But King Louis XVIII was inexorable."
The Duke of Wellington then told me
circumstances of proof, which aro now
in my manuscript autobiography. In a
similar manner lLbrd Byron "wished jus?
tice upon one theme, viz: that in regard
to his sister, and he besought a friend,
to whom he wrote, "not to sutler un?
merited censure to rest upon his name
after death." To tho Countess GuiocioU,
the Countess of Blessington, Viscount
Canterbury, (formerly Speaker of tho
House of Commons,) tho Count D'Orsay,
and tho Cornwall Trelawney, he solemn?
ly denied the truth of the imputation,
and from those personages I received that
denial in solemn conversation.
There is, however, another proof more
solemn. When a man is assassinated,
and in his dying moments he proclaims
his murderer, it is proof of the criminal,
and all other dyiug confessions are re?
ceived with oqunl reverential solemnity.
I now transfer the reader to the death?
bed of Lord Byron at- Missolongbi, on
April 19, A. i>. 1824. There were pre?
sent, among others, Count Pietro Gamba,
the brother of the Countess Gniccioli;
Trelawney, of Cornwall; William Fletch?
er, the valet, and Colonel tho Hon.
Leicester Stunhope, afterwards the Earl
of Harrington. This gentleman honored
mo with his friendship to the day of his
death, extending over a period from 183A
for more than twenty years. I was inti?
mate with him and in Im confidence, and
often was bis invited guest in London
and at Ashburnham House, his country
residence. This was tho democratic no?
bleman who introduced tho free press in
India, and was the patriotie champion,
with his friend and democrat Lord By?
ron, for the freedom of tho classic land
of Marathon and Miltiades, and towards
that noble cause advanced from his own
purse tho sum of ?16,000 (S80.000.)
Within the dying hour of the groat poet,
Lord Byron requested all to leave the
chamber, except Colonel the Hon. Lei
cester Stanhope. The poet then knew
that he was dying, and said to his friend,
"Stanhope, I wish you to take charge of
my dead body to England. See that it
is buried iu tho g?-ave of my mother."
[Both these dying wishes were fulfilled
by the friend.] "Stanhope, I declaro to
j you, at this solemn moment, that the
former accusation by Lady Byron against
mo and my faithful sister was
A lie, an odious, damned Mel
Upon my soul, a wicked lie!
and so defend us when assailed."
Col. Stanhope took the hand of this
dying friend, and said:
"Byron, tho name of Augusta being
added to that of Ada at the baptism of
your daughter, and at tho request of
Lady Byron, ns told me bj* your sister,
dispersed that slander forever; but if you
would be happier, send your dying de?
claration by yonr confidential valet,
Fletcher, and order him to see Lady By?
ron, with your death denial."
"I will do so," said tho dying poet.
"Send Fletcher to me. God bless yon,
Stanhope. Of all men you I best love.
Yon will live to seo tho freedom of this
classic land when I shall be no mo
Adieu!"
With manly tears Col. Stanhope bade
adieu to his friend forever, and within
half an hour thereafter Fletcher was at
the bedside of bis dying master. Then
took placo tho oft-repeated broken sen?
tences cited by Mrs. Stowe and others,
but now explained by tho previous inter?
view with Col. Stanhope:
"Go to my sister-tell her-go to Lady
Byron-you will seo hor, and snj*-"
Here his voice failed from exhaustion
But had be power, who can doubt but
tho dying man would have repeated to
his faithful valet what he had already
declared to bis faithful '-?end?

V?? had the pleaauro, yesterday, of
mootiug and conversing with Goneral
W. B. Miles, who hfa j dit retornad
from California, tb which ?t?te! he was
.ant by ive Immigrant and' Labor Con?
vention held at Memphis last July, for
the purpose of investigating and report?
ing npon Chinese labor, its adaptability
to the wants of the South and the prac?
ticability of its chop introduction. Gen?
eral Miles devoted one month to travel?
ing, examining tho country and observing
and studying the peoplo and their insti?
tution. lu ad vance of his report we can
state that tho General confirmed the
opinions of all intelligent and impartial
persons who have visited California, as
to the great value, superiority and
cheapness of Chinese labor. An active,
sagacious and inquisition gentleman ho
made a thorough and minute examina?
tion into tho manners, habits and cus?
toms of the Chinese. He visited the
various establishments in which they aro
employed, the woolen factories, tho ma?
chine shops, the foundries, tho farms,
the mines nnd ou railroads; in fine, in
every department of industry and manu?
factures, and he fouud in every relation
*nd position they were regarded as the
cheapest, most reliable and trustworthy
laborers in the State.
As house feervautft, tliey aro' esteemed
\B incomparably superior to all others in
their cleanliness, docility and fidelity.
Their labor can be obtained at about
Diio-third tho rate paid for other labor.
Ct is for this reason they are persc
mted and oppressed by certain classes
in California. These classes, embrac?
ing a large number of voters, political
aspirants sud party leaders, find it to
their interest to sanction the denuncia?
tion of the Chinese, but oven these ad?
mitted to General Miles that for the
Southern plantation there could be no
jotter laborers. Geueral Miles assures
[is that the Chinese are more than ordi?
narily shrewd in making a bargain and
taking care of themselves.
Though the mission and purposes of
General Miles wero seriously interfered
arith and discouraged by Boutwell's let?
ter to the Collector of New Orleans, he
had every assurauco that if proper se?
curity bo afforded against any attempts
ou tho part of the Government to pre?
vent tho introduction of these laborers,
the full demand of the South could be
ia a few years satisfied, at rates which
would render it tho cheapest and best
labor in the world, und to tho productive
wealth and improvement of our section.

A MILD COUPUMENT.-Thc Philadel?
phia Inquirer, a radical paper, says:
"Since tho surrender at Appomatoi, j
South Carolina has given less trouble
than nuy ono of the other insurrection?
ary States. First in war, sho became
first in peace. The ordeal of battle
brought sense to the former hair-brained
cavaliers. They bent their spears into
priming-hooks and their swords into
plowshares, abided by tho issue of tho
war and did what they never had done
before-went to work iike good citizens
iud enterprising Americans. And with
what result? Tho yield of products in
that Stato this year will amount to 830,
iX)0,000; or an average of $74.69 per
head in a population of G70.000. How
ilifferent and much better these results
thau those produced by repining about
the inevitable.
"The other cotton States, though less
industrious than South Carolina, have
also done well. The yield of the staple
this year will Aggregate 3,000,000 of
bales, and tho average value of all their
crops will amount in money value to SGI
per head of population. This is progress
in the right direction. Yet tho South
can do even better. Freed from the in?
cubus of slavery, that fertile and hitherto
comparatively barren section of our coun?
try will blossom like the rose. There are
clements of almost boundless wealth in
tho great section that treason tried so
hard to make waste forever. With a
faithful devotion to the Union, a stern
determination to oboy and enforce nil the
laws of the land, tho reconstructed States
will eutcr upon a career of prosperity
equaled only by tho marvelous progress
of tho North and West. Our Southern
brethren aro bat standing on the thres?
hold of their great future-their real de?
velopment has only begun. A generation
of freedom will set thom fairly on the
high road to tho groatuess which they,
in common with their sister States, are
destined to achieve."
An anecdote is told of Frederick tho
Great, that just before the battle of
Bosbach ho said to one of his generals,
who was on very intimate terms with
him: "If I lose tho battle I shall retire
to Venice, and there practice physic."
"Ah," replied the general, "always a
murderer, always a murderer!"

DON'T RE DISCOURAGED.-If you have
dyspepsia or auy disease of the liver re?
collect it was contracted some time ago,
and ha3 been affecting you probably for
years. You cannot, therefore, expect to
get well by one dose, or in one day. It
has taken a long time to confirm your
disenso, and if you will just take one
tenth of the time in trying to get well,
(by using Simmons' Liver Regulator,)
you will have cause to bless the day you
heard of it. Try it; keep trying it, and
be well. S4J3
BE BEAUTIFUL.-If yon desire beauty
you should use Hagan's Magnolia Balm.
It gives a soft, refined, satin-like tex?
ture to the Complexion, removes Rough?
ness, Redness, Blotches, Sunburn, Tan,
Ac, and adds a tinge of Pearly Bloom to
the plainest features. It brings the
Bloom of Youth to the fading cheek and
changes tho rustic Country Girl into a
Fashionable City Belle.
In the use of the Magnolia Balm lies
the true secret of Beauty. No Lady need
complain of her Complexion who will
invest 75 cents in this delightful article.

? 'Where is Drake 8. T. 1860 X?" We
have heard this question asked many
times, and for all we know fora year past
he might be dead. Recently, in New
York, we called at his Laboratory in
Liberty street, and there found this gen?
tleman barricaded behind a tremendous
pile of boxes, distributing funds to a
Sunday School Committee. Oar busi?
ness was to seouro an advertisement. He
said: "My dear sir, what lathe use of
advertising the Plantation Bitters? They
sell better now than when I advertised
at such enormous expense, and now I
have not made a contract for a year. I
have all this amount to give to the poor.
To satisfy the press, however, who haye
always been my friends, I think I will
give you a little something to do again,
for I have improved the Bitters greatly,
and it may be well to have yon let tho
people know it." And so he ran on in a
happy, cordial, appreciative manner,
showing us the wonders of his place and
the cords of certificates. Everything is
on a magnificent scale, and is done with
neatness and promptness. While there
we saw at loast forty orders come in for
these celebrated Bitters. Oases were be?
ing shipped to the four corners of the
world. Drake is not dead, nor his Bit
tors either.-Exchange paper.
MAGNOLIA WATER.-Superior to the
best imported German Cologne, and sold
at half tho price. S4J3
