?unday Morning-, June 7, 1874. Theory and Practice of Cumulative Voting. In the first Tax-Payers' Convention, Mr. Chamberlain said that it was ne? cessary to modify the absolute control which a mere numerical majority has obtained over the State, and to secure for intelligence and property a proper ?representation in the affairs of the ?Government. He seemed to anticipate some opposition to it from the Con? servative side, aud answered it in ad? vance. He asked: ' 'Are the opponents of this measure, on this floor, so in -?tease in their devotion to politioel ndeas that they will refuse a proposi? tion whioh gives to them a representa? tion of one-third and a corresponding influence in pnblio affairs? I hope not; for when, by foroe of political success, they have gathered a majority of the State to their side, there will then be left to us who differ the same righ's we are now acoording to them. Is it not fair, just, right? Its imme > diate results are relief from present .grievances, aud it points to the future, where all interests, no matter what may be the political fortuues of the State, will be protected?" He asked of the oonvention something that he -could take baok to his political asso? ciates, by means of which he cooid in? duce them to concede thin right. J,Lei there be peace between ua now," be .said, "and prosperity hereafter. . Strengthen onr hands, who desire to '?cwhat iu us lies, to make South Ca - folraa safe for evory man in his life, - oaroer .and private interests. I Bay aflain,dtie*.ght. Grant it." The Convention treated the speaker .with all proper respect, and adopted the report and resolutions whioh he 1 ? iiad-advocated beforo it. This was its ? uoaver. Thus was he prepared aud ?aaescboraged to make the Boheme prauti- 1 oable. What he has done or left un- ' done, iu making it acceptable to his party, we are not disposed to disouss. '->!Dhe evils from which it might, if "put , ' into operation, have relieved us, exist , to-day in greatly increased foroe and , . number. It is more desirable uow , ? than then; it is more necessary iu the ] .degree of the exaggeration and inten- , eity of the wrongs which afiiict the l ..?people above what existed then, that .they shall be made to cease. A hun? dred things can be said iu favor of , some muasure which looks to repara- < tion of injury, aud to adjustment of difficulties on a satisfactory basis, than , ? could have been advanced then. Now wo stand on the verge of a preci . pice. Quiet as things look, the fires of a just discontent, of a withering iudig natiou, of a fixed purpose, are horn? ing in the hearts of the people. They will not stand this thing mnoh longer. They will require more than, promises and pledges, only made to be broken. .They-wilt not be satisfied with honeyed ? words. They demand thorough re? form. They insist upon a ohange in the oharaoter and composition of the government. If they cannot get in .-demuity for the past, they are resolved at least to have security for the future. Without any special authority to say so, we say what we believe?that the adoption of the principle of minority representation, by cumulative voting, by the Republicans, would be regarded most favorably by the Conservatives. .It is a concession whioh the power of numbers may make to the power of intelligence, dignity and property, ?without injury to their own rights, without diminution of their proper influence. Indeed, if carried out to its practical consequeuces, it will re? sult iu good to all und hurm to none; and it would be the olive brunch of peace between parties uud races here. Do we not all want peace? A word to loading Republicans, Mr. Chamber! tin included. Tho time for your nominating convention id draw? ing near. The office.-, honors and emoluments of even such a poor wreck as South Carolina have utcructious for you. You are, or will be, candidates for place aud power. These are your thoughts aud aims. Has it occurred to you, also, to think of the pacifica? tion of the State? Do you entertain -any care or ooooern at all for the rights, feelings and interests of a largo . portion of the people, now absolutely denied to them' or shamefully disre? garded? We have here reproduced to your view' your own theories, your own pledges. They have long slept, while Pandemonium has boeu let loose upon uh. Shall thoy sleep on, or will you promptly oome forward to put them in practice and test their results? To us, thoy promise some good; to you, they, import no harm. What nay you? Having had theory,! shall we .now have practice? ?9H?^AX^M<mar-?-?Artax onion wn organized in Marion Township, ou Monday last, with forty-odd members. Hon. W. D. Johnson was elected Pre? sident; Fred. D. Bfryaut, SecretaryJR and James Watson, Treasurer, after some deliberation, the President ap? pointed a committee of qiuo to see. if practicable, .within tho next ten days,, every tax-payer iu the township, and iuvite his uotive co-operation aud in? duce him to become a member of the union. Also, a committee of three, to communicate with men in other town? ships and orge upon them the impor? tance of organizing at once iu each township, iu order that the County union might be formed, :n accordance with the provisions of the constitution, on the first Mouday iu July. On the same day, a tux uuiou was organized in Sumter, aud tho follow? ing officer.1! elected: President, Dr. J. C. Hay ues worth; Secretary. Dr. J. S. Hughson; Treasurer, D. J. Wien. A tax union was formed iu Spurtan burg on the 1st inataut. The muetiug, which wus large and enthusiastic, was presided over by Hon. S. Bobo. It adopted a spirited preamble and reso? lutions, and recommended u plan for the organization of township and County unions. The Hock Hill Grange, iu a spirited article on the necessity of organization, urges the formation of tux unions iu York County. It says that Y/ork was lost two years ago from lack of concert of aotiou among the Conservatives. Though the State may again be doomed to a slavish degradation, there are hanging upon uer outskirts Counties that can and must be redeemed from the bauds of their present rulers, und York is one of them. Possessed as she is of a white majority, it will be a dis? grace to Uer if she is louger controlled by the Radicals. This is the right tone. What the Grange saya of York is applicable to several other milk-and-water Counties. It is time for honest men iu them to hold back no longer. Things will never improve till we exert ourselves in earnest. Timidity and supincness are ruining the country. It is a fatal mistake to indulge iu despondency. Resolution and activity, tempered by Jiscrotiou, can accomplish much, bad is things are and ugly as they look. -? ? ? ? Gold ok the Dec-use.?The pre? mium went down yesterday below eleven, showing, evidently, that, under i normal state of things, und iu the absence of any special exciting cause, the tendeucy is to decline. The panic last winter sent the premium up con? siderably. Then, as the country be? gun to recover from that disaster, gold gradually went down responsively. But wheu Congress passed the bill to expand the currency tho premium rma | again. After tho President vetoed that ! bill gold, begau to decline, until it now ; comes down to 10J3\ Of course, the Government sales and proposed .sales: of gold have an effect upou the mar ket, but the fact that the Government; ha.s gold to &ell hhown au improved condition of the finance.- and of the | busiuess of the country. It there, should be no other tiuaucial disturb j ance, there, is no reason why gold j should not go to 10, where it was be-; fore tho pauic. -t-??..- I The Wretched Condition of Lou- j isiaNA. ? Tho Herald publishes u long interview with Dr. Cattau, who rt- j turned to New York, Thursday uviiu-j ing from Washington, wher-/ he had j reu.hired to the Executive Department > a report of the result of his investiga? tion into the condition of affairs in the overflowed portiou of Louisiana. He says that Louisiana, butweuu the flood and the complicated condition of politics, is in u most uufortuuute cou- ? ditiou; that misury, wretebeduesn, want aud despair, uro constant com- j pauious of both whites und uegroes. | There is no money in the Statu, aud I aid must come from outside. The General Government mu-t take charge of the levees. Thu Stuto cannot fur-1 nish means, and it will be several years before the overflowed portions cuti { entirely recover. All tho people of the Statu are repudialors, and the negroes, especially, favor repudiation ! ol all Stute debts. This will be the: issue iu the next election in Louisiana. In fact, all over the South the people attribute the deplorable couditiou to carpet-bug rule. Cattau thinks a po litical crisis is inevitable in Septem - ' her?secret meetings being constantly held aud secret organizations formed. Civil war is probable between the whites und blacks.

Winnsboro Neics. i .ft si i..- afi^. - Jtoob Dtnohin Tbxas>?A corres poudent, writing from Georgetown, Texas, May 27, tu tbe Austin Stales man, gives tbo following: Yesterday morning, at half-past 1 o'clock, hq armed force- of men, num? bering 103, entered tbe town from the E nt of Beltou, Bell County, in dis? guise, und proceeded at onoe to tbe County jail. Tlioy were baited by the Deputy Sheriff. Major S. E. Wilker son, aud a guard of five citizens, who were informed that it was useless for ihem to reust, as they were deter? mined in their desigus. After a little parleying, the guard surrendered, and was placed under seutiuels. The De? puty Sheriff was permitted to reuiuvo bia wife aud child from tho upper ?tor_., wheu they proceeded to break ope a thu jiil, aud shot down and killed nine prisoners. The j-a.il con-1 trincJ eleven prisoners; two oi tiitm | were eonliued in a separate ceil from : the murdered men, and one of tbwui j was designedly left aud tho presence of ! tho other unknown. The reason us- | signed for this act was the supposition ! thnt the frituds of the prisoner- coll- I templuted a jail delivery. Below 11 give the names of the murdered pii- 1 sou era: W. L. Colemao, Coryilll County, killing his wife; Crow, Burle-I sou County, horse stealing; WiutieM . lie.-knell. Hamilton Couuty, robbery; ! Marion McDonald, Wiliiam-on Couu ty, horse ? atoaliuy; J. T.

Norwood.?The St. Louis Globe] pays this high compliment to Seuator I Norwood aud his speech: j None tho leas keenly sarcastic, none tho less merciless in its trouy, none the I less skillful in its analysts, uoue ihe less powerful in its logic aud over? whelming in its grouping of Jaw., pre. cedout, historical research aud acute human observation, is the speech which tbe whole Senate listened to lu awe, surprise and delight, and which was afterwards the talk of Washington City for a week. Thu South baa but few to plead bur cause at tbe national oapital, but surely this last measure? this Civil Bights Bill, as it is called? the dying bequest of a mau who has done more to destroy the L'uiou, cor? rupt patriotism, aud make Americana loathe aud despise tbe very uurne of a republic, than all the Puritans and all the euuucbs and ail the barren womeu that ever oame out of Massachusetts combined?will not be forced upon the country under the keen spur of parti? san necessity. But whether thu Civil Bights Bill passes or does uot pass, tbe country owes a debt of gratitude to Senator Norwood, for a speech which will do probably as much to stem the tide of fauutieism still rnu uiug high at Washington as way that * oould possibly be made after mouths of preparation, study ami finish. 'It | exhausts the subject. It is keen aud i tuerciles*. but th? ulcer was a dreadful I one, ami tho kuifu had to go to tbe [ hilt. 1 -.? -? - ! A (ineat Ciianoe.?A great chuuge j is evtdeutly passing over the N ?rtli. In advocating that no distinction be ! made in decorating with flowers the graves of Federal or Confederate sol? diers, as theuuunal custom upw is, tbe Boston Advertiser pays a high compli? ment to tho bravery of the men who lought for the South, aud even goes so tar us to admit that they fought "for a principle which they held deur, aud for which they were williug to sacntic > their lives." It desires that the auimouilies excited by tbe war should now cease, and calls upou the blue and thu grey "to uuite iu paying uoromou honors to the heroic dead of both armies." The Boston Globe, iu laugaage still more complimentary to the South, says: "It is because of the bravery shown by our Southern brethren in the war that our victories have such lustre, I and it would be as unjust to deny the ' sincerity of the great body of our 1 opponents as to lmpngu their cou- ; rage. They fought for what they be-1 lieved to bo Ihe right. * * * The people of this country, North or j South, cannot afford to keep ap the spirit of antagonism or di-trnst which ' iuvidious distinctions in the decora- : tiou of the graves of their soldiers | would naturally excite, it wo are to have a geuiitue Union?one of hearts as well as of hands ?we must cultivate tbo amenities and pi rpetuate the les? son of the devotion illustrated ou both sides of the great contest as t he best means of iu-uring the devotion to those great priuciplesof constitutional liberty which were there enforced." ; Thu Biltimoru Gazette adds to this: "Now, let General 11 titier return those spoons." A letter appears in the Now York \ Herald from Lieutenant Hynes, ol the ! British ship Challenger, iu which he I asserts that he has passed over tho j locality laid down by Captaiu Willies as that of a continent, ami fotiud no ' laud there. Little or uo importance is attached to the statement since the Lieutenant upvuks of meeting with icebergn, whose presence proves their I proximity to laud.

The committee recommended, also, that thu board should order tho dis? continuance of the co-education of the sexes, except iu a few cases where the board might esteem it wise aud uafe to gruut a special pet mit. This gave rise to an excited disousftiuu. Thomas Fields, the Superiuteudeut, who was present, maintained the position be had taken iu bis report, and said be concurred in the committee's report.

To all, particularly invalids, spring is a trying season. Indications of sick? ness should at once be attended to. Fatal diseases may be caused by allow? ing the bowels to become constipated, and the system to remain iu a disor- * doted condition, until Ihe disorder has time to develop itself. An ounce ot prevention is worth a pound of core, is ! au old aud truthful saying. Therefore, we advise all who uro troubled with tho complaints now very prevalent?head? ache, indigestion, disordered liver, i want of appetite, nausea, or feverish j skin, to tula', without delay, Schonck'e I Mandrake Pills. Wo know of no remedy so harmless and decisive in its 'action. It at once strikes at the root of the disease aud produces a healthy j tone to the'systcm.
