Satuiday. Morning, November 1? 1873.
A Mew Deal,
Soeao itema of Columbia news appear <
ia the Atlanta Sitfuiu, wiiio'h we nave
not heard ueie. A correspondent rep*
resents the politicians as already bos;
with' their'Blutes. 'o.i>. Melton, Esq.,
Professor of Law in the University, is
spoken of as a probable candidate for
the office of Chief Justice, against the
present incumbent. Senator Robertson,
it ia said, has declared himself n candi- ]
date for Governor, aud supporters are
flocking to hie standard. We know- not
what degree of aoonraoy there may be I
in these statements, and shall indulge,
in no speculations oonoerniog them.
They are probably nnfonnded. Whet
wejjropose to.iiotioe is, that attention is
already directed to the prizes ahead, and
candidates singled oat, The signs be-,
gin to appear of a new movement, and
of n re-diatribqtion of the good things.
Divisions are sore to occur in the Be
publican - party, and perhaps an oppor?
tunity will bo afforded to the better men
in it to undertake those reforms whioh
were lavishly promised, but conve?
niently forgotten aud ignored. The
extravagance, inoompetenoy and reck?
lessness which hare characterized it
doting the present -administration, are
bearing their legitimate frnits. Divi?
sions and alienations are springing up.
There are Republicans who aee and la?
ment this folly and gross injustice, who
are ashanfed of the prevailing corrup?
tion, and ready in their way, and as
far aB. they, may safely do it, to rebuke
it. The colored people, who mainly
oonatituto the party, are becoming cog?
nisant of the necessity of a more libe?
ral, just and diBoreet course. Many oi
them are ready to rally to a standard
whioh will represent a policy more
equitable and- more moderately pitched.
They wish to bring down the taxes, ad?
just the debt?throwing out its fraudu?
lent part?exaot economy in expendi?
tures, extend the benefits of education,
and reoognize the fact, that the respect?
able white people of the State, although
a minority, have rights and feelings
whioh are entitled to respect.
The toadyism of pandering to their
ignorance and prejudices is hav?
ing some ro-aotion. They know that
improper motives are at the bottom
of such flattery. They have keen eyes,
which enable them to distinguish be?
tween a gentleman and the imitation of
one. It is to be regretted that they
have continued so long nnder the con?
trol of bad men. They are beginning at
last to see that it does not pay. Many
of them are capable of seeing their true
interest aa laboring men and tax-payers.
It is only to be found in honesty and
fair dealing. This country ought to be
dear to them, and every danger whioh
threatens its permanent prosperity and
honor, should find as stern opposition
from them as from the white man.
They cannot but. see now the character
of the men whom they have followed to
their own injury and the ruin of the
State. As for the Democrats and Con?
servatives, natives and others, they wish
the black people well. They are bound
to them by associations whioh estrange?
ment, reproach and injustioe even have
not broken. They would gl*dy see them
prosper, grow in virtue and knowledge,
and attain to comfort and respeotubihty.
It is impossible for them to do it under,
the lead they now follow. What a pass
- things have oome to, they can all now
see. And they are beginning to see it
plainly. If they will take the mure
moderate, more just and more intelli?
gent of their party, black or white, as
guides und advisers, they will oertainly
promote their own interests, aud do the
country the only justice they oau now
render. Whether they embrace con?
servative doctrine or not, is a matter of
comparative indifference. No one objects
to their being Republicans. Opinions
are of little moment. It is conduct that
is important. Let that be squared by
honesty, decency and modesty. Let
them put op and elect the purest men
they have in their party, and they will
And their interests advanced, their com?
forts increased and their elevation better
secured. We wish them to rise to the
proper conception of a freeman's rights
and duties, to ffco themselves from po?
litical servitude, and to form and culti?
vate ogreeaple'relations with the olass
which prinoipilly employs them, and to
whi?bthey are more indebted than any
other. Let them search their party for
honest men, and withdraw their confi?
dence from all others. Let them slough
off the rotten and offensive matter. Lot
them thus repair the evils they have
done, Or oonsented to, as best thoy can.

poses. Two long iron bolts! have been
pot in the centre building, the better to
sec are and strengt lion it The'exhibi?
tion hall will be larger than heretofore,
as a new building haa been constructed
for machinery, gins and agricultural im?
plements. The stalls for cattle have
been put in a more accessible and suita?
ble place, and water pipea connected
with them. A new gate ia to be opened,
and roada run from it to the exhibition
hall, oorv sheds, horse stables, ?fco., and
vehiolea will now enter by one gate and
have their exit by tho other, thus avoid?
ing eonfesion.
We learn from General Butler, the
efficient Secretary of the Association,
that admirable arrangements have been
made between it and the oity antboritiee
for polioe regulations. The beat order
is guaranteed and may be confidently
expected. No games of chance of any
kind are to be lioensed or tolerated on
tho grounds. Railroads, it ia expected,
will run extra trains as far as the Pine
House, S unit or or Florence, Ne wherry
and Chester. Col. Dorsey, represent?
ing the Charlotte, Columbia and Au?
gusta Railroad, will convey passengers
to the Fair and return for. three cents a
mile. Other roads, it is hoped, will.'be ?
as liberal. The only condition required
upon which this advantage will be
granted, is that the ticket-holder shall
have his ticket stamped by the Associa?
tion. The Edgefield Sabre Glob, Oapt.
Gary, consisting of forty sabreurs, well
mounted, and thoroughly disciplined
and practiced, will certainly attend; as
an organization. They will come through
on horseback, and arrive in Colombia
on the evening of the 11th November.
A mounted escort will meet them at the
river, and oonduot them to their quar?
ters. The commander- has offered a
prize for the fastest quarter horse in the
club, and already tho-o are a dozen en?
tries. The manoeuvres, bword, play and
exorcises of this company will constitute
an unusual attraction. Altogether, the
arrangements for a good Fair are excel?
lent, and the prospects for a fall attend?
ance promising, notwithstanding the
tluauoial stringency.
