My friends mid fellow-citiiehs of Geor?

the people -of this State have, also, a
peculiar claim upon me. My father was

Mn. EDITOR: I was much interested ii
your editorial remarks, of tho 2itu inst,
ou the f>u bj oct of co-operative co ito i
factories. You ha vee tr dak. the key not
of Southern prosperity, wealth ' and in
dependence. If our dear1 sonny Sont!
is to be built up at all) ii abo is ever t<
get from under tho "heel of Oppression
aud out of the "slough of despond," i
must bo done by manufacturing its gfea
stupln Utfp' yarns and gppds. , The Soutl
must make herself not onlyjbhe oottoi
producer 'but the cotton manufacturer a
this continent. Until, -this.- is doue he
.planters will pe mere "hewers of wooi
and drawers of water" of tho factor,, th
speculator and the manufacturer, au
tho country will continue to languish
Agricultural writers may talk about di
versified agriculture, and' all that sort c
thing. No doubt they aro right to
great extent, but, after all, cotton is th
chief reliance of tho Southern plante
and his great money crop. Tho impoi
tant question is how to realize bimse!
a more remunerative share of the.profit
1 of its production. Tho answer is, mani
factnie it." Wo cannot afford to wait o
the slow motions and hesitating Bteps c
foreign capitalists; and, indeed, thore'i
no reason why we should. The co-opt
rativo plan will not only furnish th
means but will placo the factories ju:
where they ought to be, viz: In -tl
iaauds o? thu planters. Lteb them thin
of this und figure ont how many thoi
sands would be saved to thom by thef
means, to soy nothing of tho labor tin
would be Introduced, the thrift tin
would follow labor, the wealth thatWoul
follow thrift, and tho prosperity and ii
dependence that would follow wealth.
Now, Mr. Editor, cannot 300 farme
be found in Kiohland County who wi
put $500 apiece into a Richland Go-Op
rativo Cotton Faotory? I will gladly t
ono of them. SOUTHLAND.

DEAH Sin: I have the honor to aoknow
ledge the receipt of a communication
from you enclosing two extracto from
newspapers, upon which yoa request
my criticism; and I inTer from your let?
ter' that yon wish to learn my opinion
npou the publia questions discussed in
those artioles.
You are quite welcome to know them,
if you aro willing to accept them nu Birn
ply the sp?culation of au individual. I
represent nobody, and do not boast a
follower in tho world; nor do I know
that my notions are Shared by uuy con?
siderable portion qf??ny party.
Thy people of the United ?States feel
instinctively that they are going wrong,
but they are told that it will be dan g?r?
ons to retrace their steps. They know
that the path upon, which they have en?
tered is besot with pitfulls; but even a
bad pass is butter than the precipice.
Tho sweep of renotion is stayed by the
dread of revolution. The policy of
shrewd Democrats, and the duty of good
citizens, is to dispel this apprehension
no matter bow foolish it may seem to
them. Short of honor and good faith,
no sacrifice should bo deemed severe
which would suffice to lay that hauutiug
spectre. For that reanon I deplore thc
baiting, hesitating afcdp with which the
Democracy is sneaking up to its inevita?
ble position. For Ibis cause I . share
yotfr regret ot the studious ambiguity
wliioh, seems to search for a sallyport
through,, .whiflh. to.' dodge.; its destiuy.
And while I better like tho spirit, ]
equally cbndefou the policy of those wh?i
only prbtilqim'ed their purpose'of r?yo;
lotion. Such indications of sentiment
annoy me, Simply because they prolong
a situation fraught with groat danger tc
the dearest interests Of. us all. Thc
dominant party eau retain apowsr whict
has grown too great for the public wet
fare only by au indefinite extension o
the moral conditions of the civil war
Tho Republican organization' caa rall;
to no cry but a slogan , and conquer un
der no atanuard buta spear. That part;
needs strife to insure ita success, bu
good feeling1 is necessary for good go
vefnm^nt. , ' .
Now, the hostility to the ?fteentl
amendment is tho stock-in-trade of th
fomonters of strife; is it worth gratify
ing at tho risk of permanent subjection
The South is galled to-day not by th
presence of that amendment to the Con
stitution, but by the utter absence of th
Constitution itself. They feel a Con
gross which assaults them, but they fin
k%A '"'.ons ti tullen to Toteot- tb?n}? I? i
not silly, then, to squabble aboat ai
amendment Which would cease to bo ob
noxious if it was not detuched from it
context?
It is quibbling upon a technicality c
law and roftnquishing the substance c
liberty. The Constitution was struq
down by the assault upon Sumter, an
all co hst i tu ti ou s must necessarily fa
before the face of the supremo nrbitrt
meat bf wai*'. It cnn never be lifted n
while war is flagrant, Tho people wi
never resign the attitude of hostile vig
lauc3, which '?3 tho real significance c
the present administration, until the
know that no ono of their'war trophit

and the good uaturo which they repres:
What, then,- is tho menning of- the gre

but the equality of nil men before tl

" ' Thc Kn Klux Sensation.
B:"? Th? - Republican newspaper* of thin
?tete are ooo stan ?y d ?SOUBS? ng tho op?ra?
tions of tho Ka -Klux, And sensational
^headings are parked before their rea'ders
on every occasion that ia ofTerod, to prove
tho existence of .a wiuo-spread' organiza?
tion throaghoat tho State under Chi's
myeterious ga iso. Bren private difficul?
ties are magnified into Ku Klux.outrages,
and the people of the North learn through
this channel that South Carolina is daily
witnessing tho most horrible deeds of
bloody revenge against Republican of?
fice-holders. ' Now, we aro free to admit
that there have been too many of these
lawless gangs in some sections of tho
State, but tho truth is not near so bad
ns tho Radical journals aro disposed to
believe. It has become the fashion to
neild Ku Klux notices, with a skull aud
cross-bones, and horrid imitation of a
coffin, to evory obnoxious character who
has rendered himself locally infamous by
his official conduct or private misdeeds.
lu many instances, these "warniuge" are
the poorest kind of jokes, as witness thu
attempt of a Republican .office-holder in
Georgetown to frighten Congressman
Rainey and his other political associates,
and which had tho efb-et of making the
aforesaid Congressman play the dunce,
by writing a lengthy lutter to tho editor
of the Washington Chronicle, enclosing
a copy of tho terrible "warning."' It is
a very poor joke, however, and yet it
nerves to point a moral to sensational
journalists, if they would only heed its
significance. Is it not possible that a
portion of the Radical party are'seeking
by this method to rid themselves of
fut-midaule rivals within its ranks ? Or,
if this is not the object, do not these
bloody epistles.proceed from a desire to
feed the Ku Klux sensation, and thus
perpetuate their power over the deluded
negroes, by proviug the dangers through
which they are passing for the sake of
Republicanism ? So tunah for tboso
notices emanating from within the folds
of the Radical party, whether intended
ns jokes or for some covert purpose. But
wu have no doubt that a majority of tho
warnings whieh como to light are sent
by persons outside of that party. And
yet, what do they amount to? In cer?
tain casos, the effect has been to drive
away pestilent characters from tho neigh?
borhood, but the greatest number result
in simply nothing at all. The recipients
never hear of their dread pursuers again,
aud the whole affair ends m'a little furce.
Whore has the genuine Ku Klux ever
given warning of their approach? We
believe there is such aa- organization,
and that it was originally intended for
the purification of tho country and thc
protection of good citizens against law?
less characters. Bat its purposes have
been sadly perverted, and in this State
there ?re humerons dc-ids attributed tn
to this organization never contemplated
for a moment in the secret recesses of
that mysterious band. Indeed, we con?
fidently believe that only one Or two in?
stances of retribution may be . rightfully
charged to the Ku Klnx. And yet there
have been numerous onlrages perpe?
trated. Now, what is the. remedy?
Tho unconstitutional aud unwise power
placed iu the hands of tho President will
not bring about a better state of thing*.
Tho experience of S'nte authorities, im?
mediately after hostilities ceased, whou
they were assisted by nearly one-half as
many troops as now compose the United
Str.tes army, attests the futility of nt
tempting to pot down these outrages bj
force. Gounter organizations snob a^
are now suggested Will not accomplis!
the object, for a general conflict rna}
shortly bo oxpeited in that event. Bui
wo say to tho Radical jon rn als "keep thc
peace" in your columns, by refusing tc
publish the exciting, sensational narra
tives which have disgraced thom for tb<
last several weeks. Avoid the semblauci
of injustice, and rely upon tho sober, ro
fleeting portion of tho population tc
bring order out of chaos. All this pan
dering to tho sensational is destined tc
feed the il une, and tho people will no
hold you guiltless if the tnaclstortu i:
reached, und tho Statu is p'.nudged inte
an itfternecino war.
Everj' Democratic newspaper in flu
State, when tho occasion has offered, he.
condemned the so-called Ku Klux out
rage? in unmistakeable terms. In com
mon with many others, wo have not beet
called upon to give expression to on
opinions ou this subject, except in i
gonerul wuy, ns this locality has b'eei
entirely freed from this unhappy condi
tion of affairs. But there is an impera
tive demand for peaco. Tho Stato need
rest from plundering officials, burden
some taxation, and aggravating, sense
less commotion.. Tho demand is fo
calm, dispassionate action, d?lib?r?t
and prudent counsels, nnd an entire ab
sonco of all violenco, that the mode am
manner of extricating the State from th
hands of bad, vicious men may be deter
mined npon and accomplished. With
out these thi?gs, ' oil effort is useless i
prevent tho most lamentable oonse
cpiouces of anarchy and general ruin.
