H- CLEAVESA resort to violence under some circumstances can be defended, and even commended, but the scene that the city of.Charleston witnessed on the 6th inst. will be universally condemned by the ihi k ing portion of citizens, in this country to whatever political party they may belong. That it should have been participated in by adherents to a party, one of whose fun* damental principles is freedom freedom of speech, and freedom of opinion? ? all the more to be regretted. Placing it on no higher ground than thai of party it is to be deplored as a dan gerous spirit within our ranks. It is a spirit of political intolerance that even now the strong arm of the national government has been invoked to suppress in the South, and is equally abhorent when manifested by republicans against democrate, as when exhibited by democrats against republicans. It is natural for the colored man, with liloK-n-i* ftp fto nasi en vivid in his I>UV iiUTWtJ V* VHW WV ? ? memory, to view with disgust the desertion of those who up to a few weeks ago were loud mouthed in their expressions of fielty to the republican party, and to become indignant at the hypocrisy that they have just cause to believe is manifested by these new couverts to democracy; but however insincere they may be in their new found opinions, no matter if they have the price of their opinions in their pockets, and have crooked " the pregnant hinges of the knee, where thrift may follow fawning, " they have a right to these opinions, and slionld be free from molestation tberefor. But the democracy in these scenes ol violence are but reaping what they them solve? have sown. It is but t he outgrowth of the spirit manifested in the attitude assumed during the present campaign, in parading their force of arms at meetings called for peaceable purposes, showing a manifest disrespect to law, under a plea of self protection from a danger that would never exist if they by their course , did not fan the sparks into life and ac tivity, and when the flame breaks forth beyond their control, they lay it to the machinations of Republican leaders forgetful that example is more potent than precept. As well might Hampton, Simpson, Sims or Conner, be accused of bciug responsible for the Hamburg slaughter, as for leading republicans to be held responsible for the mob who held possession odE* some of the street* of Charleston on 1 the night of the 6th. The.-- troubles will cease as soon us there L a greater disposition on the part of both parties to cali -? - /?.i 1 i. iL 1 upon tne servants or tne law to ineir protection, and we are sanguine that with 1 the completion of the organization of the ' additional force proposed by the city, and ' & frowning down by peaceably disposed ' citizens of this Donneybrook u who'll : tread on the tail of my coat " style of ' conducting the canvass these sceues will ( bo numbered with the events of the past. ' Boss Tweed lias been captured just at t the right time. Tilden is plooming him- i self on being a ring smasher, and he will fi bow haw* a? opportunity to sKow him. * aelf, and see that the couits do not let e Tweed escape as easily as the democratic i Sheriff of New York did, and who has j c been retained in office by Tilden. j s xi. to.annaMMoimca*???. -tuc.Credo ]W chiller, as u-cd in America, .-iguifics an interior combination or "ring.'* organized by tlic managers of a | corporation, through which. by meant) of! contracts ma le with themselves )>y them-1 solves, (they being the directors both of the outside corporation and of the interior \ ring ot "credit mobHier,") all the available funds, credits, and receipts of the 'Corporation proper can be made to pass into the hands of the inside manipulators. In other words, an American credit mobilier is a method of robbing a corporation and yet escaping the penitentiary-~-a legal fiction, under .guise of which stocks, bouds, franchises, and assets may be formally, delilierntely, and safely stolen. This method is well known to have originated with, and to have been invented, devised, and fi:>t put in operation by one Samuel J. Tilden, of New York, a gentleman who, having .accumulated a fortune of several millions of dollars through its in-ti umentality, is now put forward hv the Democracy as the Democratic Conservative-1 'Reform" candidate for the Presidency. Mr. James Parton, in his "Manual for the Instruction of Rings," published in 1816, says: hi* plan (the credit mobilier) was first adopted, as far as known, in the United States by an eminent lawyer of Wall stmt, S. J. Tilden." The testimony taken by the Congressional committee on the Union Pacific railroad, in ls72, shows that "Mr. Tracy, Judge Black, and Samuel J. Tilden, (all Democrats,) were the principal attorneys of the 14 Credit Mobilier of America, " that Samuel J. Tilden was a large stockholder in the Credit Mobil ier, and that Samuel J. Tilden was counsel for both corporations, the Credit Mjbilier and the railroad company at one and the same time. These facts are testified to by Cornelius S. Bushncll, one of the directors af the Union Pacific railroad, and by others. The witnesses also swear that they were assured by Mr. Ti'den that the Credit Mobilier scheme, by which the Government and the investing public were robbed out of $43,OoO,OOU in construction contracts alone, was 44 a compliance with the law. " A lawyer who takes fees from both sides is generaly considered a disreputable character. A man who enters into a ponspiracj to rob his fellow-citizens or the public is usually termed a thief. Yet Samuel J. Tilder stands convicted upon the record both of just such a violation j of professional honor and of a pecuniary | partnership in just such a crime. All those republicans who were proved I t)'have been connected with this) Credit Mobilier, have been dropped as ] party leaders, but the democrats have placed at the head of their ticket, the J | man who first adopted this system in the United States, and yet we are told he j is an honest reformer. j AttoRNEY-G enERAL Stone has written a letter to the Governor, explaining his reasons for agreeing with Judge Wiggin, iti the course he pursued in the Hamburg cases. He calls attention to the suit now pending in the Supreme Court, to test the legality of the grand jury, showing that if the court should decide the present grand jury is not legal, all bills found by it would be void, but states that he would have proceeded with the cases had there been no other grounds for a contin. vancc, and gives these grounds as follows: "The witnesses on the part of the state are chiefly colored persons resident in Aiken county. This class of persons has become greatly alarmed and intimidated during the past few weeks by the presence of armed bodies of white men who attend meetings in their neighborhood. Whether they have reason to apprehend injury from these men or not it is needless to inquire, so long as it is apparent that they are alarmed and intimidated. While these witnesses contiuue to feel in this way theii attendance at court could not be depended on, and even were they present they would testify with reluctance aud fear, and the value of their testimony would be greatly weakened. On this ground alone it would have been my duty to have moved to continue the cases. Again, since the time when many of the accused parties surrendered themselves and were admitted to bail an exciting political contest has opened in tlii state and the events connected with the Hamburg riot have been discussed by both parties and from different standpoints. The cases have thus come to have, to some extent, a political bearing and the real issue as to who are the guilty parties has been overlooked. The attempt to try the cases while this political contest rages would, in my opiniou have been equivalent to a trial by the passions and prejudices of juries and not a trial by their calm, unbiased judgment. This would he true whether the juries were composed of men of either or of both political parties." No unbiased mind will contend that under existing circumstances an impartial trial could have been had. To a great J extent these eases, occurring when they? lid, have had a political significance attached to them, and this feeling was tafcen advantage of by the democratic leaders of that sectiou to call a mass meeting in the day on which it was thought these 1 *ases would be called in court, and the 1 own of Aiken was crowded by mounted i truied men. It is almost generally oon- i ;cded that no conviction will be obtained, 1 md whatever the result, whether of con- i notion or aoquittal, happening when tk* mtire State is in the turmoil of an cxcitng po'itical canvass, how readilv would s ither side, i? a verdict contrary to their r ympathics was delivered, charge that the ? l i . i??aaaaw if yil w 4> 'In'.- to tho weight of parti/an iuiiucuce. ll<>w much better then to dcfer the?e cases to January, when the lapse of time may have toned down partizan bitterness iw. identally connected with the struggle for political supremacy in this State. Labor Troubles. During the past ten days the strike in the rice fields in Colleton county has been renewed. We have seen nothing as yet to change our views that the system of issuing checks for labor is the primary cause of the tmuhle, and the only objcci tionablc feature in these troubles is that the laborers are not content to quit work themselves, but use violence against those of their own class who are willing to continue work at any price. On Friday and Saturday trouble commenced near Pocotaligo, on the Ilcyward plantation in this county, and Sheriff Wilson arrested and lodged in jail nineteen of the strikers, who will have a preliminary examination on Saturday next. There was no store on this place but cRcks were issued on a store-keeper in the vicinity. The only way to put a stop to these troubles is to apply the law to both sides. Those who issue checks issue them contrary to statute, and if there is any virtue in the law it should be enforced, and on the other hand those who have used violence, should be punished in proportion to the enormity of the offence. We can see^io other solution out of the difficulty. + + It is amusing to read the democratic gush that the correspondent for the Charleston Ncics sends occasionally to that paper from this place. For instance we cull the following sentence from his letter of tho 8th inst: "The grntifying phase of these proceedings is in finding that there are as many educated colored men coming into the Democratic ranks as will enable a selection irom among tnem ot some to nu some of the positions and offices that will be in the gift of the Democratic party when triumphant." This is throwing a pretty small sprat to catch a mackerel, and we woujd suggest that if this is the idea of "intclligont colored members," (the now name adopted by tho democratic clubs for the occasion) in their signing the roll, they had better look to other aUtts that have gone democratic, and they will discover that they will have to use a very powerful magnifying glass to discover one "intelligent colored member" who has been selected to fill any position or office. Look before you leap. Wf. hear it reported thai some of the j trial justices in the disturbed rice field i district ot this county, are issuing peace ; bonds against numbers of' colored men, and when thev have entered into recou nizance to keep the peate for a year and a day, are endeavoring to impress on the minds of the most ignorant that this en ! tering into bonds prevents them from vo tin^during the time they are helu to keep the peace. We trust that this information is unfounded, but if it is not, those trial justices, who are thus abusing the trust imposed upon them by their oath oi office, should be removed forthwith. The strike in the vicinity of Pocotaligo and Gardner's Corner must be on the increase. Major Morrison received a dis. patch from Sheriff Wilson at Columbia, to meet him to-day (Thursday) at Sheldon with a company of one hundred of the State militia in this county. We have received no information as to the strength of the mob, or the plantations on which the trouble has broken out. A subsequent dispatch was received by Morrison countermanding the order for the militia. Wf. notice that most of our democratic exchanges in this State have from half to three-quarters of a column of advertisements announcing candidates. This explains the meaning of that portion of the democratic platform that charges the republican legislatures with creating "a multiplicity of unnecessary and useless offices." These offices will be "unnecessary and useless" to those democratic candidate who do not get in. It is quite amusing to see how ingeniously those who prepared this platform worded it so as to hide its true meaning from the rank and file of their party. "I know when Hampton gets in, I shall have an appointment as trial justice in this towu, and then won't we put it to the niggers." This is a conversation*} that was overheard at one of the small } towns along the line of the Port ltoyal j railroad, and shows that many of those j who make the most noise for Hampton and reform," never lose sight of the main chance?office. Hampton and of5ce, would be t better rallying ery for & majority of the noisiest ones. The Charleston ( S. C. ) Journal, a lemocratic paper, says : "We are not j ifraid of United States soldiers. We are | lot going to fight them, and they are not i joing to fight us." Sensible. The; t iiwmw i duva. 7f ini? v A?niTtttn piesidenl wiil not permit the s?>l?licrs to > molest one law abiding voter, whatever j J his politics may lie, in the least. United , i States soldiers never yet controlled an : election under a republican, admini'tra- I ! tion in any state. All this talk about j j the president ordering troops to prevent j any legal voter from casting his suit rage is idle flummery. But no more Hamburg affairs will be prcmitted.? Louisville. Commercial J "There are now only three prisoners in the Abbeville county jail. The election j is approaching and every commitment to j jail takes away one of the radical majori- \ ty. All the thieves and scoundrels belong to "the party," and it stands them in hand to keep away from the clutches ot the law." At the last session of the United .States District court in that section of the country twenty-eight were sent up for breaches of the excise law, thus decreasing the democratic vote. Wc suppose from the above paragraph the people of Abbeville want to strike a balance some how or other. 1 # i The Columbia Register complains that Messrs. M. B." Moses and C. M. Hurst of Sumter were removed as trial justices because they "came out for Hampton. We scarcely think this could have been the cause, although Gov. Chamberlain announced in Beaufort that the first requisite qualification for official position in South Carolina, under a Republican administration, was the republicanism of the appointee. Will the Register, say whether under a Democratic administration, appointees to office will not, necessarily, have to be democrats. We know tlinf ? renlv in t.he affirmative will be well received by the rank and file of the democratic party. i i "Democracy covers Pine House, like # i the locusts in Egypt." So says the Edgefield Advertiser. This is a reason why the people in November will not vote i the democratic ticket. They have no ' wish to have one of the plagues of Egypt cover the entire State. I Maine has gone republican with from twelve to fifteen thousand majority. We notice that democratic organs claim a 1 democratic victory in that State. If they are satisfied certainly the republicans are. Some of the democratic newspapers in I this State are tracing the bad provision t crop of last season, and the consequent , suffering of the colored people during the . present summer, to the influence of radiI cal office-holders. What next? Capture of Tweed. i London, September 8.?A dispatch to Router's Telegram Company from Madrid, says : " William M. Tweed and ( his cousin, William Hunt, have been ar. rested in the port of Vigo, near Pontcvedra, aboard the Spanish merchantman Carmen. Tweed was travelling under the name of Sccor. Both prisoners have been lodged in the fortress at Vigo. It will be remembered that the Boss * o .1 I i P ,T n* , escaped, trom tne nanus or ine omcer who had him in charge, when on a visit to his wife. In February last a Span" ish cutter passed up St. Helena Sound 1 and deparied the next morning, supposed to be bound to Cuba, by way of Port Roy, al. The pilot who took her out reported that a man who bore a very striking rer semblance to Boss Tweed was a passenger. Before going to Spain it is reported that he went to Cuba, and they may be seme truth in the pilot's report th t be had seen him on board the Spanish cutter. I ^ Political Riots in the North and Sonth. The political canvass will be turned into what is really a campaign it it is to continue as it begins. The fatal street fight in New Orleans; the riot near Kingston, N. Y., between Irish republicans, who were raising a flag pole, and Irish democrats, in which a number of persons were injured; and finally, the affray in Charleston, S. C., presents a gloomy future. The last fight is the most important, for we cannot have a war of races in the north, but it is possible to some extent in the south. The origin of the Kingston riot is singularly like that in Charleston. In the one case Irish democrats, the majority of their race, assaulted the Irish republicans, and in the other negro republicans attacked negro demo c ats.?N. Y. Hera hi. What Yance Thinks. Driven into a corner at one of his meetings, Vance has been compelled to confess the worthlessness of the democratic protestations in regard to the constitn tional amendments, and their acceptance as a settlement of the questions involved. Both the amendments, and reconstuction acts which preceded them he denounces as frauds; even the abolition of slavery be stigmatizes as " fraud upon the constitution. 'r The position thus taken by ( Vance is not new. There is not at this ( moment a man of mark in the southern ( J wing of the democratic party who has j not again and again scouted reconstruction and its results as tho products of fraud and usurpation. The national | democratic convention of 1866 condemned ] them as unconstitutional, revolutionary and void, and otherwise allied itself to ^ : the policy which aims at the overthrow j of what the republican party has accom- . plished. t The pretense now made of submission , to reconstruction and the amendments is, j then, palpable hypocrisy. It simply ^ means submission as long as the republi- a cans have power to enforce it and no Ion^r. z I 1 fin(i> ' n?ru.Y,re- --a """" " | Tin* ( liarlesion Hint. It i.s the democratic ox that i.-. gored in the south this time. A riot has broken | out in Charleston. S. C., in which sonic democratic nogroej have been fired upon ; by republicans. Wc are rejoiced to hear that there is in this statement a suggestion that u tlie color line '' has been broken.

The harbor of Port Royal i? the finest on the Atlantic coast south of Norfolk. Jt does seem rather strange that two such cities as Savannah and Charleston should spring up about equally distant each side of such a magnificent harbor. New trade follows old. When Savannah and Charleston were founded and growing up it was by people who were governed by other than commercial considerations. Particularly was this the case with Savannah. It was necessary for the country people to be in easy and quick access to the towns. These two cities were on the main land, so that in emergencies, like attacks by Indians they could escape thither. The harbor of Port Royal is surrounded by numerous Islands, while Savannah and Charleston arc on the mainland. Before the days of railroads the cotton and country produce was brought into town in wagons, and the gopds purchased there went home in the same way. Then the rivers furnished a means of transportation to both those cities from the iuterior. Thus there was no local trade to build up a city at Port Royal, and although it possessed superior facilties for a heavy foreign trade, it was not as conveniently located for the trade of its own neighborhood as the two seaports on either side of it. The place was almost unknown until the famous naval maneuver of Admiral Dupont and its imnnrtnnm for militarv nnrnnsAs ninrle 4"rv' j r ? rv its name to the world. Since the days of mule team transportation has passed away and the export trade of the country has grown to such enormous proportions, the value of good harbors, with plenty of water on their bars, are more thought of. The carrying trade has many more competitors. Such a seaport as Port Royal must now grow. The exports of grain from the West is probably the most important auxiliary to its growth. But with all the prospects of I its becoming the great seaport of the | South, and tlfe fourth in the United [ States, it is not yet, nor will it become so by mere writing and talking. The direct trade must be actually established by the putting on of the steamers to run to Europe as talked about, and offering in' ducements to shippers to patronize it in preference to other routes. They will want to know by actual experience whether it is for their advantage. Very likely the transportation lines will have to lose large sums before there will be enough traffic to give them any profits. Than to accminodate the grain trade in the West large sums of money must be spent in erecting elevators and wharves. Millions of capita! are nece * sary to carry out the ideas of the founders of the new seaport of Port Royal. That need be no obstacle to its becoming all that is anticipated. But those whose hopes are staked on the realization of these anticipations must put their shoulders to the wheel, and not depend entirely on capital coming to them by the attr iction of merely what natural advantags will bring if utilized.

The accounts of the progress of yellow lever in Savannah, are not as encouraging as last week. The weather this week has been favorable to its propogation, and its effect is marked by the increase of the death roll, aud the increase of new cases. The precise increase of new case cannot now be arrived at, as the Board of Health, have discontinued reporting the number of new cases. In our last issue wc reported the deaths up to Wednesday morning. The following is the mortuary report of yellow fever cases to the 12th inst: Wednesday 12; Thursday 6; Frida.T9: Saturday 10; Sunday 13; Monday 20 Tuesday 21. This gives a total death list for the week from yellow fever of 91. The Savannah Benevolent Society ar? calling for volunteers to look after the sick. Thcv also need potatoes, fowls, grits, flour, and other articles of food for the .-irk and needy. These can be sent to John F. Wheatnn Esq. chairman of the the Benevolent Association. Other lowns are responding liberally to the calls for aid.
