COLUMBIA, S. C. Tucsiay Morning. V6v. 10^1874. rh* Democratic Party ?na the Colored . Psspie. The question of treatment of the colored race i? one of the moat im? portant which the grand sucoeBS of the Demooratio party will devolve upon it. The defeated and disoom filed Republicans will, of course, en? deavor to stem the tido of this success, by 'reviving as many of the war oriee and reconstruction policies as they can. They will represent that the liberty of the newly enfranohised people ean oaly be consummated and placed beyond contingency by those who have claimed to be par excellence their pecu? liar friends. We shall expeot to see inflammatory appeals in their behalf. They will pretend that their civil rights, their .privilege of the suffrage, their manhood itself, will be all jeo? pardized unless they continue iu the position of their protectors. But we 'expect to live to see them routed from evon this position, and tbeir absurd claims in this regard contested. The world moves und is moving ra? pidly iu thin oountry. The oo lored people are not stationary. Tnoy are becoming enlightened as to the false attitude in whioh circum rtanoes and the interested designs of bad men have plaoed them. They uro beginning to feel the responsibilities of good oitizenship, and naturally dis? trust those who have imposod upon them, by using them aa tools to ad? vance their owu ends, and by placing them in opposition to the peace, ad? vancement and prosperity of the Slates where their lot has been cast. They will just as naturally be careful about the formation of uow alliances. There will be a remuaut of the old an? tipathy to Dem >orats to be sarmount? ed. Bat surmounted it will be, and , those coueideratioos of interest,, olicy, good feeling, good government, which 03Qonly.be promoted in the eud by jordrul understanding between the two races, will assert their proper sway. We look, therefore, to see in so great while the Demooratio white maa aud the hitherto Radioal blaok msQ banded together in political ac? tion. We find our thoughts upon this snbjeot80 well conveyed iu an editorial article in tbe Now York Herald, that we transfer it mainly to our oj! vraos, with onr unqualified endorse? ment of its soundness, good sense, and ?spirit of justice. A high'duty is now imposed upon onr people in the Sjuth, and, accepting with thanks the compli? mentary laugoage of the Herald to the organizing faculty aud talents for con? trol of Democratic politicians, North and South, we must, at the same time, be heedful of its suggestious in our dealiug with the sensitive Nor:h. It is a great thing to regain political con? trol. It will be the solution of our own troubles, and the restoration to us of our just politic*! power. We mast be on our guard that we do not forfeit by any rash or ill adoration, any element which tends to the achieve? ment of the great result. Our safety, oar escape, lies in forming into line with the great Democratic movement which is sweeping tbe couutry. Our duty and our policy blend in the deter? mination to make friends of the colored people, and in the cordial recognition and enforcement of their full rights. Bat, as we said, the whole problem has been so well discussed by tho Herald, that we forbear auy further re? marks of onr own, and ask the atten? tion of onr readers to its just ob.erva lions: "We have no doubt," it says, "that the rights of tbe negroes will be more secure in Demooratio tuau iu Republi? can bauds. It is the tendency .and effect of tbe Republican policy to anay the negroes iu hostility to the beat classes of tbe Soutberu popula? tion, and thereby obstruct the ascend? ancy of intelligence, character and property in Southern politics. Negro saflrago has proved to be a great evil, chiefly on aoconnt of the divorce ef? fected in the South between numbers and intelligence. The Sonthern blacks have been formed into a political party under outside guidance aud control?a party whioh had a set of interests, or supposed interests, separate from1 the general interests of the Southern com? munity. In a healthy state of politics there is a'solidarity' of feeliog be? tween the prosperous aud the poorer j classes, and although there may be two parties?as tbere always are iu freu conutries?they are composed ou both Miles of tbe nub aud the poor, the in? telligent and theignoraut. It is the prerogative of intelligence to control ignorance, and tbe chief evil of South? ern politics since tbe war has consisted in such an organization of tbe hlaclls as has arrayed them in opposition to the enlightened local feeling of the communities with which tbeir lot is cast. Bat as soou as Federal influence shall cease to control the negro mind, intelligence and capacity will re-aasert thoir sway and negro voting in tbe South will be m safe as thu immigrant vote baa always bean in the North. The Deuiooratio party.will have no temptation to deprive the negroes of the right or suffrage, because it will have no difficulty in controlling tho negro mind when the potent Federal influence oo-operatea with local intelli? gence i? stead of frustrating and de? feating it. "Evou nnder the great disadvantage of having the Federal influence up posed to them, the Southern Demo? crats have mude some headway in con? trolling the negro vote. Iu thu recent election in Louisiana, quite a propor? tion uf the negro citizens acted with the Democratic party. As soon as Democratic ascendancy is established in Washington, Democratic negroes will be as common in the South as Republican negroes, and the uegro question will then cease to be un ele? ment of disturbance. The true inte? rests of the negroes are identical with the true interests of Southern whites. The negroeB cannot prosper when the oommnnity iu which they live is im? poverished. Tbey can find remune? rative employment only when the wlleels of business ure iu full activity. Ii capital yields no profit, labor cannot expect constant employment or good wages; and the most importuut lesson the Southern negroes nave yet to learn is, that tbey cannot thrive on the de? pression and ruiu of the owueis of property. Their credulity has beeu too long abused, uud their simplicity deceived, by interloping demagogues, who have iuouloated the idea that they have u separate interest from their white fellow-citizens. This state ol things is likely to continue, so long as the nogro mind is led by thu Republi? can party; but withiu a year or two after it is left to local control, a major? ity of the negroes will bu steady Do mocratio voters, and the negro pro? blem will disappear from our politics. "The Democratic politicians, botii of tho North and the South, have always displayed a rumurkable capacity for controlling ignorant voters. There bus always baeu a large class of uned? ucated whites in the Southern States, but there was no section of the conulry whose politios, previous to the war, wo o so completely controlled by its intelligent classes. It has beeu in former times the uctivo party iu ex? tending suffrage; it has always beeu foremost iu defending the political rights of citizens of foreign birth; it has always felt the most undoubting confidence in its ability to array the most despised orders ot the commu? nity on its own .side iu politics and make them its faithful allies. The Democratic party has a geuius for managing such classes of voters, aud it would belie itt- antecedents and ten? dencies if it should attempt to disfran? chise the Southern negroes instead of attempting to manage them. Iu past opposition to negro suffrage is* a tran? sient phase of politios which has beeu further prolonged than it would have been if the Freedmen's Bureau and the carpet-bag influence had not got so decided a start in the coutrol of the negro mind. Had the South been left to itself after the elective f auchiso was oonferred on the blacks, the South? ern State governments would have fallen as completely under the influ? ence of the old governing classes as ti?'j* ?TviC wuCu tiiG oc?uj? Cicio?co f^O successfully managed the uneducated whites. Nothing ia more certain than that the mass of the negroeB will never act independently iu politics. It is their destiny to be led. They have thus far beeu led by the Republioun party, and arrayed by it against the enlightened public sentiment of the Southern communities; but from the moment the Democratic party gains control of the Federal Government tbo Republicans will have no advantages for acting ou the negro mind, which will theu fall under tbu coutrol of local opinion. A war of races can iu uo way bo so surely averted as by giv iug the intelligent olusSes of the South an opportunity to exert their natural ascendency over thu uegro mind, and subordinate it to the ideas und public sentiment of their section. A war of I races would be, soouer or later, inevi | table, if a distant outside influence were kept perpetually acting on the' negro uiiud und moulding it into j.-a- I lous hostility to the white population." | -?.- I Usually, election news has opened Weil for the Democrats, and then grown rapidly worse, as the official re? turns cume in. Tku contests of this year have proven an exception to the rule. Day after day the news gets better. At first, tbu Democrats had only fifteen majority in the House of Representatives, then twenty-five, then fifty-four, and now, after all tho re? turns ure iu, tho telegraph puts it at seventy seven. Better still, tho States which have gone Democratic will elect Senators enough to reduce the Radical majority in the Senate to eight, possi? bly six. At this rate, it won't tuke long to got a two-thirds majority iu j the House and a good woiking mnj ?ri ty iu tho Senate. Neulky ?The Courier Jour mil re? joices more over Negloy's defeat iu !

We are authorized to announce- that the trains on tbo Camden branch of tho Booth Carolina Railroad wilt ran daily daring Fair week.

Tue People's Favorites.?R ise and Harry Walkins had a very fall house, ia-t night, uod tho new society play, "Led Astray," was very acceptably rendered. To-night, Irwiu's Hall will likely buurowded to witnesB the repre? sentation of their highly-popular "Trodden Down"?Mr. WTatkins' own production. Mr. uud Mrs. WatkinB arc great favorites with the South Oa tolitiu public, und thesimple announce? ment of their preser.ee here is suffi? cient to make thu season one of profit to them and of entertainment to the citizens of Columbia. Aud here we would say to the visitors to our city that tbey will now have tho opportu? nity of spending a few boors every evening during tbo week iu an agreea? ble manner. Tue Fair ?The gala week begins to-day at the Fair Grounds. Yester? day was bustle, bustle, bustle all over the grounds, aud to-day, doubtless, the apparent confusion will be in? creased. Tho Secretary's office was a scene not often witnessed hereabouts. All hands were busy from early morn? ing till late at night, and not more than half the entries were completed. The stock department is elegantly filled up. Thoroughbreds from Boa ton, New York, R'chmond and Sooth Carolina have occupied all the stalls on the Fair Grounds aud many in tho city; heavy aud light druft stallious, mares, fillies and colts, ponies, males and jacks tiro on exhibition from all over the Stute. Tue cattle stalls and sheep pens are full. The hogs aro not uumerous, but very fine. Oor farmers ure above raising hogs, it seems, and have lost their lovo for bacon; at least, home-made bacon. Chickcr.fi are crow iug, ducks quacking, pigeons cooiug, rabbits nibbling und dogs barking all over tbu grounds. The mechanical department is well tilled. The plough? ing match for a premium of 8100 seems to bo the anticipated feature of the Fair. And the ladies' department is full of eatables, drinkables, wearables und all that could be wished fur. The prescucu of the people is all now that is lackiug to make this Fair the grand? est success sincu the war, and uo doubt tho crowd to day will be as large as it ever is ou Tuesday of Fair week, and this afternoon's trains will increase our population by several hundred, per-* hups thousands. The programme for to day is very fine. At ID A. M. thu exhibition will begin by a display of oattlo in the are? na, each led by the bailor. From 12 till 2 P. M. tho horses will be exhibit? ed, first by the halter, followed by saddle, single and double harness horses. The exhibition of coltlo will bo under the charge of Superintendents James McCutchen and H. A. Meetze. Tho exhibition of horses will bo ma? naged by Superintendents Johnson IJagooJ uud W. H. Stack. v Thu Committee on Cattle arc Messrs. D. P. Duncan, Union; J. \Y. Parker, Columbia; Robert Beattie, Uniou; Al? fred Aldrtjb, Barn well; M. M. Buford, Ne wherry. The Committee on Horses ute Messrs. John S. Drown, Baruwell; T. O. Sunders, Sumter; J. K. Vance, Ab? beville; J. G. Graham, Columbia; T. W. Rubb, Fail field. The members of the committees are respectfully requested to call ot the Secretary's office promptly at 9>i o'clock this morning. The Truth of the Affair.?A gen? tleman from Edge field, who ia tho? roughly acquainted with ?11 the par? ticulars of the late election, informs ua that not a gun or pistol was fired i on tbst day, except at Liberty Hill.1 1 A colored man, by name Nobles, wens to that precinct, an be said, to raise a fuss. He slapped a white boy'a face, and struck a white man with a along shot, and was killed. There were some quarrels, as UBual, elsewhere, but no collisions. The most orderly election our informant ever saw was at Edge field Court House. Home Manufactures.?There is on exhibition at the Fair Grounds a large and magnificent lot of msohinery and castings of all descriptions, which are entirely home manufactured, including the painting, bronzing, ko. They are from the Congaree Iron Works, Major Johu Alexander proprietor, and reflect great credit upon his skill and superior workmanship. The list of articles ia too lengthy for enumeration here, but we advise all visitors to the grounds to go and see tho collection, and hence? forth know that there can be as fine articles in that line manufactured in Columbia as can be obtained in the North. Indian Summer ?This is the Indian summer-time. Nature, seemingly re? gretful at being compelled to unloose the restive BoreaB and lot him go howling over the world, gives as a short respite after the equinoctial stormR, wherein we may warm our selves in the sunlight once more before tbu price of ooal shall begin to soar. The days s?e warm; the skies wear a sort of 6obdued cerulean hue; the hill? tops are decked in red and gold; the i valleys lie half hid in the hazy blue cf the atmosphere, and?persimmons are ripe. It ii the time when the beasta of the field aud thu fowls of the air be? gin to cast about fjr their winter boui ding-ho uses. The grizzly bear spends his afternoons in examining bids for frost-proof shakedowns. The partridge and rabbits are industriously ! engaged in staking off their territorial luud claims. The wild fowl have bought their tickets over tho various air lines, and are now winging their way to sunny Southern duck ponds. It would seem that this is one of Dame Nature's shopping seasons. She is out looking for fors, and getting her shoes hulf-soled before the snow falls. Of course, it would be sheer folly on > her part did she not court tho weather clerk for a few glimpses of sunshine to enable her to do her trading com? fortably. The school-boy falls a prey to the seductive hickory-nut and al? luring coiuqtiepiu. He imbues his hands in walnut juice, and ia happy. Verily, if he be a real and true boy, there is no good in him. Now, too, the dusky aborigines of the Western plains put uew feathers in their scalp locks, auu spend the day, from early mom till dewy eve, in chasing the lus? cious buffalo. But when Luna hangs her silver crescent or golden shield, as the case may be. iu thu sky, he does u-wooing go, for it is the red warrior's love-making time. Thus, between buf? falo steaks and soirees, he is in his glory, and forgets that chill December means icicles and small-pox, and an unseemly scramble for Government blankets und fire-water. To him the season is the matt auspicious of all others. He rogards it as the gift of his most honored deity, the god of the South-west, who sends him the gentle South-west wind, and to whom he be? lieves his soul will go after death.
