CAMDEX, MARCH 31, 1870.
Our Duty.
We have before us a high d*tjr to
perform, in endeavoring to reclaim out
State from the prostrate condition in
which she now lies. A contest is before
tt?, calling into action" all the wisdom
and strength which we possess.?
Tho leading papers of the North use
the words "South Carolina," as a synonym
for bribery and corruption. The
actions of leading officials, and legislators
of this State, have brought about
this state of affairs, and ignominy and
disgrace attach to her entive people.?
Bribery has been resorted to in such
opened and avowed ways that we no
* longer hear it questioned or denied by
members of the Legislature, but on the
contrary, it is freely admitted by them
to be a fact beyond dispute. It is no
longer an honor to belong to the Legislature
of South Carolina, which has
ceased to legislate for the good of her
citizens, and is converted into a political
job-office, where money, and that
alone, pats the machinery to work.
Is this not a sad spectacle to those in
whose bosoms honest hearts still boat?
Is it not sufficient to awaken righteous
indignation in a patriotic heart ? Is it
not sufficient to bring the burning blush
ef shame to the cheek of every honest
citizen of the State ?
Whence this hellborn corruption, this
infamous prostitution of power by the
people's representatives ? Did it originate
here on our own soil and among
our own people, or did the wave of revolution
foist this monster upon us, to
prey upon our material resources, and
bring disgrace upon us all alike ?
Ye meo of South Carolina, ye citizens
white and colored, answer!
.. Shall we any longer suffer ourselves
to be blind tools of wickei men, men
without honor or principle ? Can we not
all unite in one grand effort to make
our State, our own ? The smoke and
turmoil of Federal politics have been
wafted away into the distance and no
Tod get are the angry passions of two
years ago at work to separate our white
and colored citizens. They can now
^ unite to approach the b^llgt^hax, as.
of our boihmon countij.
Ak ( Shall we refuse to unite? Does distrust
still prevail to keep us assunder ?
It cannot be. Every intelligent man
knows wfia have the power of controlliogthe
ballot box, and! consequently of
the .State. And no man would advocate
any trial of strength upon the same
issues that were before us two years
ago, for the purpose of suffering defeat
a second time. Therefore, we ask the
whole people of the State to unite in
restoring to its proper channel our
State.. It it oars, and we, the native
born people, should control it. Have
we not men, natives to the soil,
competent to take charge of the Government,
and administer its functions
properly ? Are strangers and foreigners
the only living men who are capable of
t governing our people ?
Theso are the questions which it behooves
every man, no matter what his
race may be, to answer. We desire all
to ponder these grave questions and
conscientiously determine them according
to the best lights before them.

Municipal Election.
It will be seen by an advertisement
that the books for the registration of vo.tors
at the election on Monday nest,
4(9 opened this morning. As no one
will be allowed to vote who does not
rogister, it is important that every one
should attend promptly to this duty
High Waters.
The heavy rains of Saturday eauscd
a considerable rise iu the river, and on
-Monday much of the laod on its banks
overflowed, greatly damaging those who
had their lands prepared for the crop.
Much of that work will be to do over
again, which will retard planting operations.
To many the injury will be se.
rious, the work being backward on acoount
of the past unfavorable season.?
.We understand that the overflow of the
Lynches Creeks have done considerable
damage on those two streams.
The water had commenced to recede,
hut the rains of yesterday afternoon and
last night will doubtlesseause it to rise
again, and as it is still raining, the probability
is that we shall have as high
a freshet as has visited us for several
years.
The Mayor aod Aldermen of Charleston
have raised the salary of Mr. Distriot
Attorney Corbin ro 82,000 a year,
just two and a half times the old compensation.

are gentlemen of well known wealth a

preponderance of women over

the population of the other New

Inspired by a strong sy npathy for this
Republic iu its recent detth struggle
with the worst of despotisms, I left my
native oountry (Holland) iu company i
with several other young men and
joined the ranks of the Northern unity
as a private soldier in the regiment
before mentioned.
Mr. Whittemore, who was chaplain,
acted also as postmaster of the/egimeut,
and repeatedly demanded and received
of me and my comrades 50 to 75 cents
for every Je.kr mailed by us for Europe
and committed to his ch rge.

furlough to Charleston, South Carolina,
where I mailed a letter home to Holland
and was surprised to find the post
age was only 21 cents. I expressed my
surprise to the postofficc clerk, who as
sured me there was no mistake, and,
that if I had paid more to anybody before,
I had been cheated. I will ud I

Labor in Russia.?DcBow't Review
says: "Mr. Zimmerman, of the
Russian Prest, Moscow, visits the United
States with a view of ascertaining
the state of the labor question. We
have communicated to hiin the resultof
emancipating our serf, which are upon
the whole, encouraging. It is true they
do not produce so much in the weight
of staples as formerly, but as the philanthropic
consumers pay double as.mueil
for these staples a formerly, we areget1
ting on quite well. Besides, the freedmen
are generally docile and useful.?'
The China coolies have been tried in .
Russia without results satisfactory tp
the Government. This we learn from
loforraution derived troni otner sources.
But Mr. Zimmerman informed us that
the immigration of harvest labor froni
one part of the Bassian dominions to
another, has long existed in that country.
He states that from certain parts
in central Russia some 60,000 laborers,
male and female journey on foot from
one to three hundred miles into Southern
Rus-ia. There tbey assist in the grain
harvest, and then return before winter
to their own homes. It is plain that
with our railroad facilities, the surplus
labor of (he Noithwest and Eastern Atlantic
States, could be brought into
October to the cotton and sugar harvest
and returned in time to begin the planting
and cultivation of the cereal crop
at the North, about the 1st A'|>ril.
