A Suggestion-Keep Cool.
The radical organ, the Charleston Re?
publican, seems unduly excited about the
situation, and in effect suggests that the
time for war has come. It talks war,
and bids its adherents preparo for the
fray. This kind of language is not apt
to frighten people much. Gov. Scott
may talk of W'nohester rifle law, and
even issue theso improved arms to the
colored people, and withhold them from
the white people, and still this alarms
no one in these parts. Tho reform
movement, in its opposition to the
dominant party, relies for success upon
truth and argument and fair exposition.
These are the weapons it prefers to use,
and it will authoritatively employs no
other, except in self-defence, under tho
sanction of justifiable necessity. Tho re?
formists understand that this is a war of
ideas. By the supremaoy of idoaB, they
expect to win. At the ballot-box, they
are Willing to make their fight. Thoy
demand lhere, a fair field and a fair fight.
They invite open discussion in the pre?
sence and heariug of the people. Wo
repeat it, then, that it becomes tho
organ of the present regime to keep oool.
Wo think that no war need break out.
The reformists havo no quarrel with thc
colored people, and as to the "carpet-bag"
fraternity, we leave them to their color?
ed friends. AU is quiet hore, so far as
xve know. At least, we aro cool and
peaceable, and no thirst for human
"goaru consumes us in theso hot days.
Because Mr. Tupper strikes Mr. Mor?
ris, it does not logically follow that war
must ensue on the Congarce; and be?
cause Mr. Dawson assaults Mr. Fox, it
is not necessary for hostilities to break
out on that tonguo of land that lies be?
tween the Ashley and Cooper. And bo
cause some friend or foo pulls down the
symbol of Mr. J. W. Denny's political
preference, we do not know that even
this amounts to a casus belli. It may bo
only a kind hint to Mr. Denny to fly his
flag on his own camping ground, rather
than to parade it beyond the limits of
his individual property. Mr. Denny
owns his printing office. Let the flag
fly above it, and let Mr. Denny enjoy all
the honor that appertains to those head?
quarters. But if tho State Printer and
Printer to the Court insists upon stretch?
ing his lines across the Main street of Co?
lumbia, let the flag hang. It will serve at
least "to point a moral or adorn a tale."
PAPAL iNTAiiiiiniLiTr.-This dogma, so
little understood, outside of Catholic
communities, has recently been explain?
ed by Vicar-General Starrs, in St. Pat?
rick's Church, New York. We give his
explanation of it, for the benefit of those
of our readers, who, like ourself, have
been uuable to comprehend either its
limit or oxtent, and who have been anx?
ious, from some authoritative quarter, to
receive a full definition of it.
"The Pope, " says Vicar-General Starrs,
"is fallible as other men, and no Catho?
lic believes that he may not err in doc?
trine, in preaching and in conduct the
same as other men."
The Vioar-Geueral put tho case as pa?
rallel to the decisions of tho Supremo
Court of the United States-from them
there can be no appeal, and are to be
acted upon as if infallibly right. So with
the Pope, tho highest judge in the eccle?
siastical judicial system. He said:
" 'Infallibility' means this, and no
more or less; that tho Pope, speaking e.<:
cathedra-officially from tho chair of St.
Peter, declaring anything as to matter of
faith-is infallible. This attribute be?
longs to all successors of St. Peter, the
visible head of tho church. Christ
prayed for St. Peter that his faith might
not fail, and said, 'Peter, thou art tho
rock; and on this rock I will build my
church, and the gates of hell shall not
prevail against it. 'I give theo the keys
of tho kingdom of Heaven. Feed my
sheep and lambs,' ?fcc.
"All that Christ gave Peter belong* to
his successors. As Peter could not live
always, the power given him as head of
tho church could not bo perpetuated ex?
cept as dologated authority. This doc?
trine is, then, very simple and plain,
when rightly viewed."
MOEE SnooTrxa.-We learn that since
our last ?BSUO Dr. E. T. Avery has shot
two moro negroes, brothers of Duffy
Harris whom ho shot last week, and that
ho has been bound over to appear at tho
next court. All of tho partios shot aro
seriously wounded, but nono of them
dangerously. Tho cause of the last
shooting was tho samo as tho first, viz.,
iusultiug language on beiug ordered to
leave tho place.-Yorlcville Enquirer.
MISCEGENATION*.-Wo learn that a
whito man from "up tho Ohio," married
a dusky damsel in our town, last weok.
Tho respectable colored people aro quito
indignant. Ono of them was hoard to
say, "O, thc30 white men that como
frc m Ohio!"-Newberry Herald.
Tho last surviving membor of a con?
sumptive family at Lowell, Mich., is
said to have recently attempted to cure
himself by roasting thc heart and liver
of his sister, lately deceased, and inhal?
ing the fumes.

We observe that some of oar cotempo
raries are seeking to foreanadow a grand
coup d'etat for Napoleon. It is suggested
that if Napoleon aimil And his importai
crown slipping off his head, he will un?
furl tho banner of the "fierce Democra?
cy" and appeal to the revolutionary ele?
ment of Europe, that has been repre?
sented by tho Mazzini's, the Garibaldi's,
tho Victor Hugo's, the Kossuth's & Co.,
and make kings, emperors and mo?
narchs all tremble on their thrones at tho
awakened power of tho PEOPLE. In our
judgment, if Napoleon is countiug upon
this, ho is depending upon a broken
reed. This, wo take it, would hardly suc?
ceed. Doubtless, thoro is an.impatient
feeling existing among tho masses of
contral Europe as well as of France. But
the appeal to arms, arousing tho prido of
nationality, has effectually overwhelmed
this clement. Just as all France re?
sponded to Napoleon's appeal, when he
stirred tho popular heart with sugges?
tions of honor, prido, glory, victory and
Franco; so, too, no doubt, all Gertna
uy is a unit for "tho Fatherland," und
from peasant to prinoe, under tho in?
fluence of a common nationality, there
is a general determination to fight undei
tho banners of King William of Prussia.
No-to our mind, viewing the mattel
as well as we can at this elistanco-whal
Napoleon needs to savo him and tho Em?
pire is VICTORY. This alono is necessary,
This is all-ossential. Well may victor}
or death be his personal motto, in thii
supremo moment of his chequored career
His star must now shine brighter thar
ever, or palo its ineffectual fire. Wo ad
miro much tho boldness, the scientific
precision and tho gallantry that th?
Prussian army has illustrated. It seem
that Moltko is not too old for a frosl
display of that genius that won Sadowi
for Prussia, and placed her in tho fron
rank of modern nations. But wo do no
hesitato to avow that wo also sympathize
with thc cause of Napoleou. We wish
to say tho least, to find him preserve th
integrity of his borders. Let him elriv
tho invaders back, and let an honorabl
peace bo mado between two great coun
tries, both full of military valor am
military skill.
Napoleon has done much for Fraucc
and wo shall never forget what ho pro
posed to elo for the Southern people, ii
our recent troubles. Our sympathies
therefore, aro with him, and particularly
so, because he is in a critical condition
And were wo a Fronchmau in France

lost in tho defeat of tho present. Sue

Tho New York Times, speakiug of tl
successes of thc Prussians, says:

has yet to bo oxplained. Tho whole can
paign has evidently been a gigantic bim
der on Napoleon's part. If he can sai
his capital, it will bo as much as Iii
within his power. Paris is in a tuniu
of approhousiou and excitement. Tl
Ministers frankly tell tho peoplo th
the}' arc in danger. They talk uo moi
of advancing to Berlin. Their cry no
is: "Help us to savo tho country." Par
is declared to bo in a stato of siege, au
hurried attempts aro hoing made to s
cure it against thc approach of tho eni
my. "A serious effort is necessary," pr
claim tho agitated Ministers. Tho r
vorse must have fallon like a thunde
bolt on tho Fronch people, and it is pr
bably only tho beginning of vast inisfo
times iu store for them. At any rat
tho Prussians havo a position whit
menaces tho safety of tho Empire, ai
tho troops, flushed with victory, wou
obey with eagerness the order to man
on Paris.
? Tho momout has come for tho friem
of Franco in Europe, if sho has auy, I
declaro themselves. Without allies, it
as clear as tho sun at noon-day, th
France must be finally, hopelessly d
featod. Napoleon wished to beat. Prus?
sia ''single-handed*" He cannot do it.
Unless the troops of other powers come
to his assistance, he cannot save Franoe.
Accordingly, the intelligence transmitted
to ns from bur own correspondent at
Paris, is of the highest moment. It
states that Italy has despatched an army
to the relief of Napoleon, and that Aas
tr?a will at onco follow the example. It
is quite possible that Napoleon had an !
understanding before the campaign with
Italy and Austria, but wished to do with?
out their assistuueo, if possible. Wo
stated on tho authority of our corres?
pondent at Paris, somo timo ago, that
Austria had made a treaty with France.
Now is the timo for her interference.
Franco is in a dire extremity, aud nothing
but help from outside eau bring her
through it. The series of battles fought
on Friday and Saturday will henceforth
rank among tho most meir ni able in the
annuls of history.
Is rr A MENACE TO EunorE?-The New
York World says, referring to tho Impe?
rial hints thrown out by Nupoleon:
Between tho victories of Hagenau and
Worth, and Saarbr?cken and the fall of
Paris, intervene mauy serious matters:
au army actually in the field, from Stras?
burg to Nancy, nnd Metz to Verdure, of
nearly half a milliou of men, two-thirds
at least of thom veterans of tho regular
forces; many fortified places; the in?
domitable hatred of tho most passionate
and dangerous of European peoples.
Yet the Emperor oalls upon all French?
men to rise and save their country, and
tho Ministers of tho Emperor declare tho
capital in u state of siege. This, to our
thinking, is supremely the siguilicaut
feature of this day's news-and this
means not so much defence against thc
Prussians as n menace lo Europe. For
it means plainly this, that if tho Empire
cauuot within a very brief period repel
the Germans beyond the Rhine, France
will rise to repel them in ber own fash?
ion, ns of old, to follow them, with tho
flag of thc Republic in the vau of her
armies. This truth, blazing up iu a
night, means moro and worse to the
King, and the royal princes of Prussia, if
they would but see it, than all the mi?
trailleurs of McMahon, aud all the Chas
sepots of Bazaine. It meaus us much
aud as much ?ovil to other princes and
sovereigns also; aud those who know
how deep aud how wide arc tho myste?
rious ramifications throughout tho Euro?
pean Coutinent of the now revolutionary
spirit, and tho still newer revolutiouary
orgauizatiou of our times, kuow well to?
day that things infinitely moro serious
than tho glory or the downfall of dynas?
ties, moro serious, too, than the political
unity, or the political parcelling of a
race, aro hanging in the balanco of tho
tremendous conflict, the first fierce clash
of which breaks on our ears to-day.
News of military and naval prepara?
tions como to us from every side. The
French navy is at work iu tho North.
Transports by the score are hurrying
forward to tho Baltic with armies of in?
vasion. Deumark opens to them her
harbor of Elsinore, and stands with the
sword of tho Vikings balf-drawn in her
vengeful hand, almost visibly panting to
join them in tho assault upon her Teu?
tonic spoilors. Everything uow compels
to action, to action prompt, fierce, and
decisive. No intervention of foreigu
powers could do aught but aggravate the
general peril to Europe which smoulders
iu the particular pori! to France of the
present moment. Whether that smoul?
dering peril shall burst out into narnu,
the events of a very few days-of an
hour, one may almost say, who compares
tho swift moments with thoir pregnant
and dreadful possibilities-must decide.
To draw the sword is one thing, to
sheathe it another. A decisive defeat of
the Prussiaus aud tho invasion of Ger?
many by tho French may still savo tho
Empire from expulsion. It may be
doubted gravely to-day whethor even
such successes as these can still save Eu?
rope from revolution.

MB. EDITOR: ID the course of thc re?
marks which I have had occasion to make
in the present political campaign, I have
felt it my duty to make certain specific
charges against Gov. Pv. K. Scoot. Thoso
charges I have made deliberately, and
in my own time, and I expect to produce
specifications and proofs.
4 Fending these specifications and proofs,
a third party intervenes and makes cer?
tain charges against me. Who this third
party is, I do uot know, but I will say en
passant, for his consolation, that if his
charges against mo are true, and I am tho
monstor which he makes me; have mur?
dered as many colored people aa ho pre?
tends; have committed the crimes which
ho lays to my door; Gov. Scott is u very
derelict Governor, else ho would have had
mo arrested by his constabulary, tried,
convicted, sentenced dud hung. If they
are not truo, the author of them is simply
a liar. Which boru of tho dilemma will
Gov. Scott select?
But, Mr. Editor, my charges aro made
against Gov. Scott, not against ;i paid
editor of a newspaper of donbtlul re?
spectability. Why does ho uot auswer
them? His responsibility to tho peoplo
of South Carolina is ten-fold greater
than mine; my fight is against him.
Will ho meet me on the stump, before
the good people of tho State, and reply
to them? Will ho meet nie in thu pub?
lic prints? I challenge him, and have
uo idea of allowing him to make his fight
by proxy, either on thc stump or through
the press. Verv respectfully.

The traveling correspondent of the
Charleston Courier gives the following
outline of tho remarks ol Col. J. P.
Thomas, at the reform meeting in Lex?
ington:
Tho meeting was called to order by
Major Meetze, who introduced Col. J.
P. Thomas, of Columbia, ns tho first
speaker. Col. Thomas mado a short but
stirring and cloquout address in favor of
tho Uuion Reform movement. Ho most
bappily alluded to th?i conservative tri?
umph iu North Carolina, whero, bo said,
the issuo was identical with that in our
State, good government against bud
government. Tbe people had to con?
front Holden, Kirk, and other minions,
and ho (the speaker) was gratified to stato
that tho people had won the victory.
North Carolina bad beeu carried iu the
iutercat of a peaceful, honest and good
government, and tho result would be tho
same in our State. He said be did not
regard it as inconsistent with the princi?
ples which ho advocated in the past, that
he now stood on thc Union Reform plat?
form. Ho considered tho recognition of
negro suffrage n just and wiso step, lt
was certainly an accomplished fact, and
as honest and truthful men, tho wholo
people should be prepared to deal with
tho question fairly and honestly, ns an
accomplished fact. There were but two
parties in the Slate, he said, aud no
honest mau would for a momcut hesitate
to decido whore his path of duty lies.
Capital and immigration, which were
sensitive, and both of which we stand in
need of, would never How to us until tho
incubus of onerous taxation was remov?
ed from our shoulders. Ho bad met a
Northern Ropublicau iii Columbia, who
expressed these views to him, aud who
had said that this riug which ia ruling
thu State must be removed before North?
ern capital would come here. Ko was
never for a moment despondent. He be?
lieved that the State would stand up
once again. There were no influences that
could withstand this onward march. God
helping and ourselves resolving, South
Carolina will live in the future. Wc shall
stand around tue Reform Platform, and
rally around thc Ropublicau Carpenter,
(cheers,) and the Carolina lintier,
(cheers,) aud the principles they repre?
sent, autl go ou to victory. If wo all do
our duty, GO,0U0 white voters, with their
African allies, will win this election, and
in October next, thc sun will set upon
a banner of victory-the banner of truth
aud houesty.
A DISTRESSING CASE OF DROWNING.
A most distressing case of thc drowning
of a mother aud her four daughters oc?
curred near West Amhoy, N. Y., on
Mouday of last week. The father, Mr.
Ezra Spicer, had gone into the field to
work, and on returning found his family
all gone, but supposing that they had
gouo to a neighbor's, he went off to a
poad near by for the purpose of fishing.
To his horror he there found the dead
body of his wife floating, aud after loug
search, the bodies of his four daughters
were fouud also cold in death. Tho fol?
lowing wero the names and ages of tho
victims of this unfortunate disaster: Mrs.
Margaret Spicer, aged thirty-nine; Sa?
rah R., infant, aged thirteenth mouths;
Miunio F., aged three years; Marion
Isabella, aged fourteen years; Carrie
: Etta (still missing), aged six years. It
is siqiposed that Mrs. Spicer had endured
a great eleal of trouble, and was much
depressed in spirits, and thc horrible
suspicion is intimated that sho deliber?
ately weut out with her children under
pretence of going across after berries,
and after throwing them c ut one by one,
leaped into the water after them to close
her miserable career. Mrs. Spicor's pa?
rents live in Miunesota, and sho was a
womau of intelligence and highly re?
spected among her acquaintances.
A colored mau, named Limbrick
Thomas, was nominated for the Legisla
toro bj' the Reform Convention of Union
County. But, as the Times says, Limb?
rick did not feel that he was competent
to fill so important a position, and re?
quested a friend to say to the convention
that he felt it to bo his duty to himself,
his race and tho State at large to deeliuo
thc houor they had so cordially con?
ferred. He requested that somo more
competent mau bo selected in his stead.
Nothing could induce Limbrick to ac?
cept the nomination. Ho said he be?
longed to thc reform party, and would
roll up his slcoves and work hard for that
party, if they would put honest and in?
telligent candidates in tho field; but if
they were going to put up ignorant ol?icc
seckcrs, he didn't see how wo nre to got
reform, and he might ns well go over to
the Republican party at once.
