The Republican Triumph. It i8at last known that the so-called Republicans virtually the thieving hordeof foreign adventurers and plun derers, have carried the State fur that infamous Ohio Doctor, 11. K. Scott.? "^The Devil takes care of his owd," is a well established dogma and his Satanic majesty has a trusty crew of his own now manning the ship of State. The lust of gain, has effected this 6ale of the crew to their captain. The Devils own weapon, lying, has aided to bring about this result. His pet liar. Chamberlain, who lies by hundreds of thou-sands, was an active tool in erecting this manger'of filth. Again has the voice of the people spoken) again has that voice been that of the Devil and not of a god. Again, have the colored people drawn the line of hatred between the whites aud thcmsolves. Again have they declared their absolute determination to remember, forever, the lashes of slavery. Again, have they said "there shall be no peace between you and us." Again, have our promises been spumed, our warnings unheeded. Again, have i we been told that we are a raco of liars ?nd deceivers. This is the last time - i n that we intend to put ourselves or awow ourselves to be put in this humiliating attitude. It is the last time that we will undertake to advise or interfere with the colored people. They have declared "war to the knife;" we arc prepared to meet the issue. Henceforth let no ruan deceive himself. He is feeding men who are dragging himself his family, even his innocent children to starvation. Can you afford to feed that man any longer. ? You cannot.? You can scarcely live now, what is the j prospect for the future? Darkness, deepening darkness. Comparing the future with the past two years, and confiscation stares you in the face. The appalling taxation will be the means of that confiscation. IIow then can you escape the general bankruptcy? Certainly not by retaining nor feeding, employing nor giving a home to those who have brought this upon us?those who make war upon us?those who have sought and are seeking our ruin. For the present, of course, necessity compels us to use them, but only as means to an end. Let us all UDite upon the oil" nmofipril hnKis of tlio restora VUIJ WV11V. tion of South Carolina to her proper position among the States of the Union. That basis is the importation of ichite labor pom abroad. Let us but offer that lab?r the proper inducements.? Let as but offer to each man a small portion of the uncultivated lands that we own, in exchange for his labor for a given time, and immigration hitherto, a myth in this State, will assume the gigantic proportions of a real substantial enterprise. Then will we bo able to have our interests represented and eared for in the general assembly. Wo need not then ash for represcntion?we will have tho power to demand it, and we will have it. This is no chimerical idea. In the State, there are of wood, uncultivated and marsh lands, not less than twelve mill ion acres. One fourth of this, or three millions could be easily spared, and scarcely missed, and if one hundred acres were given to each immigrant, thirty thousand could be supplied. But the advantages of bringing immigrants here would be soon felt. Land would instantaneously appreciate in value, capital would flow in, other immigrants would come preparsd to purchase, and the^ultimate results would be the enrichmectof every branch of industry. Then let us unite in this grand and glorious task. Far removed from and above the arena of politics, this scheme should be carried out, for it is to our mind, the sole practical method of enriching our people, and leaving a proud heritage to our children. As to our political actioR, let it be distinctly understood that since the question has resolved itself into one race, we, the white people of South Carolina, intend to stick to each other, in one vast brotherhood. Let us form a "Caucasian League," but let our actions be able to bear the garish light of day, and not hid in the shadows of tbo^ night, deep engaged in hellish plot.? Let us throw our banner to the brcezo, and inscribe upon that banner our determination not to interfere with State politics, until wo can make ourselves heard. As a balance of power party, we can sometimes take such action as may redound to our interest, but ex- ' ccpt at such times, we will touch not politico. Let us be what has been forced upon us, "a white man's party!" Again, let no man deceive himself.? The lines have been unmistakcably drawn. Let us accept tho challenge thus thrown down, and if we do not use our intelligence and capital to a better purpose than heretofore, we are unworthy the name of men or Carolinians.? We owe it to our honored dead, to our grey haired sires, to our aged mothers, to our wives and children, to ourselves, to fight out the battle of South Carolina's redemption, upon higher, nobler and more lasting grounds than we have heretofore occupied. Let us go about it at once. It was our duty to endeavor to effect the reconciliation of the races, as has been done by the Union Reform Party. It was our duty to recognize as accomplished facts, what is embodied in the Constitution of tlio United States, in the XVth Amendment. This we have fulfilled. Our efforts have been met by stern, implaeablo resistance. We have fought the fight, and we have lost it. We sacrificed no principle in that fight, nor will we sacrifice any by undertaking to effect our redemption by the means herein advocated. We do not propose to go back of the sentimei\ts embodied in the platform of the Union Reform Party, in reference to the status of the colored people. We leave that question where wc found it. It was done without our assistance, but none the less thoroughly done on that account. The sentiment of the entire Democracy at the North, is in favor of a complete recognition of the rights of the colored man embodied in the Constitution. Some of the Democratic States have openly made it a part of fliii 11tit irifliin flirvm?r*lrrnc nnrl fVto t?nn. V?i\i JUU I! IVUIU Vkl VUJOV/J 1 UUU KUV VUUveniious of other States have adopted it in their platforms. We would be going backward, not forward, in denying what we have openly advocated.? We would be stultifying ourselves and prove that we arc base deceivers, were we now *o recede from the position we occupied in the late campaign. Since then, we have faithfully done our duty in this respect, ar.d have failed to effect the desired result, we repeat, that we sacrifice no principle in occupying the ground that has been forced upon us, viz: that of a white man's party. We wouid, indeed, sacrifice the principle of sc!J-rc*pect, wero we to continue, after such a result as wo have seen, to en^ deavor to bring about union, peace and harmony between white and colored.? it is me result 01 t/icir action, not ours. They have drawn the line, not we.? They have rejected our overtures, not wc, theirs. They have withdrawn themselves within the pale of race, not we. They have forced this upon us, not tee upon them. So let it bo them We now, for the first time understand each other. You, colored men, have declared your determined purpose not to go tcitk us. We accept your decision, calmly awaiting the time when the Government of the State of South Carolina, shall be carried cn by Representatives of the entire people. When the intelligence aud capital of the State shall be represented, as well as the ignorance and labor, in the General Assembly.? We have gone far enough. We have sacrificed pride and prejudice, every thing but our sacred honor. To that wc will hold fast, though our hcart'sblood be the penalty. Rut there is a God of justice, "who rules in Heaven and among the inhabitants of earth." lie has his immutable and mysterious i - A.1C1 - _ J purposes LU IUIUI, ULIU upuu UUl edge of His justice we rely. We accept this condition of things, as one of the decrees of his wisdom, and await the current of Ilis sovereign will; This Journal had its representative in the Press Conference held in Columbia in March last. We were in favor of a movement which culminated in the Union Ileform Party. With no private or personal motive, but for the general good of the State, we went into the movement, and have persistently advocated it throughout. We stand now, where wo stood then, perfectly unbiassed iu our minds as to the true status of the colored race, acknowledging our acquiescence in the law of the country, believing that the colored man had a right to participate in governmental affairs, in which they were as much interested as we, and anxious only to promote tho welfare of the State. For the cause of Reform we have labored earnestly and anxiously, nor do we regret our course now, nor will we ever. We have attended the Radical meetings and listened to their speakers. Wc have sifted those speeches and compared them with official records, which we were obliged to take as true, and have no hesitation in saying that more contradictory, false, preju I diced, incendiary, blackguard, slanderous, vilej offensive, abusive, malignant, base and unreliable speeches, nef9r were made in any age, clime or conn* try. The living present tffis; never once touched in connection with the principles of the party of Reform. The dead -past, which no power can cl|inge, formed their entire stock in trade, and unjust, ungenerous and malicious the use they made of it?utterly unworthy of gentlemen living in a christian country, professing christian principles? altogether worthy of savages living in a heathen country, professing barbarian principles. To be asked to associate ourselves with a party upholding and revelling in every crime which disgraces the calender, except murder, for which it is;too cowardly,'is an insult to any man :attenrptiog to live according to the dictates of conscience, and "to shape'his life as awaiting dreaH efcerniT * ,1 -f? nn fnr mir tj. xc is asKea ui us iv oc? ? idol, the lust of ill-gotten gain, and to sell our soul for a few peices of silver. We caonot contemplate such a request without feeling intense ^Iisgust and utter contempt for those who are so vile thomselves as to propose such a thing. So much for oar action in this mattor. To the whites "Who did not go "with the Reform party, we havo to say that they have been utterly bliud to their interests. A short sighted policy may have induced them not to oppose the Scott Ring, but wisdom would have suggested to them to work heart and soul for the success of the Reform party. They may enjoy the custom and patronage of 6omo of tho Scottites who had grown wealthy by plundering them and others, for a short time, but they will deeply regret their action, when, two .years hence, they see the public debt piled mountain high, and their neighbors sold ont on every side, to meet correspondingly high taxation.? We consider that they have proven by their action, that they prefer Scott and Ransier to Carpenter and our own Butler. There is no getting out of this position. They who profess and act upon old Democratic principles, have done more for Radical Republicanism than if they had voted for Scott & Co., because they not only refused to vote themselves, but their example deterred others who would have voted for Reform. In this, they have shown con-1?: ?1 - !>?* (1 lia wlin ia tint fnr nq. Uiusiveijr, Luuu us nuu ?, is [against us." The proper reward for such apathy is the continuation in power for two years longer of the vile crew now over us. Two years more of this rule, will cause these sticklers to principle to be ready enough to get rid of of those they helped to place in power. Shameful, disgraceful, nonsensical, ridiculous, absurd, self-stultifying action! Now let us look at our future. Chaos seems about to return, at least to this portion of the world. Anarchy will be the result of this terrible state of thiDgs. No man will sit coolly down and see his homestead sold to keep up a govern % ? lit. ment of thieves, roDOers ana wouia-De murdefcrs.

Why a war of faces ? Because the colored man, trusting you, will support you in your acts, and because you trust him, and by your acts, endeavor to bring on what we are trying to avoid. But you will be the firil sufferers, should that evil day come.? After that, we cahnot see. To the colored people we Wonld say, that the time will come, and soon come, when they will wish that they had heeded our warnings, and believed our assertions. We want you to educate yourselves and your children, so that your ignorance cannot be taken advantage of by those who have designs upon every honest and iudustrious citizen.? When the smoke and dust of this conflict shall have passed away?when your passions and your prejudces are Anlm vnaflftn men m na Kur UUUIC'ij UUU VlillU 1 vuuuu IVUUU4VU U\.? sway, then will her promptings cause you to regret that you havo rejected our gospel of peace and reconciliation. You will see then, that we spoke the words of earnest soberness and truth? you will see then, who deceived you from base and selfish motives, and Who were striving for their country's good. The shackles of your mental slavery will be stricken off?the bandages will bo removed from your eyes, and yoti will feel and see that you are doing all that you possibly can to degrade yourselves in the estimation of your best friends, and if you arc not careful, the great national republican party, through whom you were endowed with all the rights and privileges which you enjoy, will take axcay those rights and privilegesj and banish you to the wild forests, as has been done to the poor Indian.

The Rural shows manifest signs of regularly increasing prosperity, and yet how the publishers continue to supply it at the marvellously low figtire of $2 per annum is a miracle to us.

The Shooting Affair at Chester.?A gentleman from Chester, who arrived in this city ycstcrdry afternoon, furnishes the following paiticulars of the recent shooting affair in that town: On Tuesday last, two men went to Chester in a baggy, stating tnac tney bad como from Latfrcus, and one of them who was rather communicative, said that "he knew something of the affair at Laurens." Constable Burke bearing that be had said this, arrested him after he bad taken passage on the Charlotte train. Ho managed to escape from Bnrkc, who shot at him twice without hitting him. The other party, who was named llichardsoD, was followed hy a DCgro constable Darned Ross, who met him, quietly seated in his buggy, in conversation with Mr. Adam S. Walker, about five miles from Chester* Ross simply said to him, "I have eome to arrest you," and fited at hita Vrith his pistol, severely wounding him in the arm. Several negroes being present, Richardson feared that he would be crowded and retired some distance, endeavoring to get a chance to shoot Ross, who dodged among the trees, and finally succeeded in getting possession of Mr. Richardson's buggy, in xvhicb he returned to Chester, Icav* ing Mr. Richardson wounded in the road.-1?

" i Totho Surviving Officers and Soldiers of the Confederate iSrmy. - The last sad rites are" over, and all that was mortal of ohr beloved and honored chieftain, General RobeHEdward* Lee, has been committed to the grave. 'It1 is now only left ;to Us to discharge the duty, so sacred to surviving affection, of building and decorating bis tomb. Admiration for his great qualL ties and fame, may ' prompt others to raise fhe lofty column and imposing statute; but love for his person reverence for his virtues, and regard for his memory, dictate to comrades in arms, as their first care, to.properly enshrine liis'remains. .

And hpre in the temple reared by himself,.the home of his adoption, will be his fitting,' and we believe, his enduring restingplace. We hold this conviction because his remains now rest in the . spot chosen by those who alone had a right to decide, because this spot would most likely have been approved by' the illustrious dead 'himself had his self-forgetting mind everdwclt for a mo ' ment on such a question; because it holds his memory aloof from the-possible contaminations of party politics; because it accords with the custom observed by the great Father and servants of. the State, all of whom preferred unostentatious resting places; and because' his tomb here will be really tnore useful in connection with the last work of his; exemplary life in perpetuating the good influence of the College of Washr1 iugton and Lee throughout the South.1 We therefore invite his brethren and followers in the momentous, struggle whichhas made his name and their owninimortal, to unite in constructing here a Mausoleum worthy the foremost man ofail his time. On the day succeeding the death of Gen. Lee, the Confederate soldiers who escorted the body from his residence to the Chapel met and at once resolved ' to form a Memorial Association; and at an adjourned meeting on the 15th of Oct, when the funeral obsequies were concluded, they adopted a plan of organization An Executive Committee, with a President and Vice-Presidents for the Southern States, have been appointed, and the Association will soon be incorporated. In order that the poorest In our ranks may be enabled to join upon an equal footing with all others in the pipus work in view, it has been determined that any Confederate' soldier may become a member of the Association upon the payment of one dollar, and that the names of all the members shall be enrolled in suitable books to be preserved in the Memorial Chapel.
