THE JOURNAL. JOHN KERSHAW, Editdffuid Proprietor. CAMDEN S. C., AUGUST 24,1871. How the State Cau be Saved. The question of race so complicates all political discussions amongst us, as to give but little opportunity to the truth to struggle to the light. If an honest negro, impelled by conviction, votes with the Conservatives, he is at once branded as a traitor to his race, and untold persecutions pursue him in all the relations of life. Opprobium and social proscription drive his family from church and his children from school, and his best friends only hold a cold and distant intercourse with him. Yet, the same people who thus rigidly insist upon fidelity to race, are loud in their clamours for a total obliteration of all recognition of questions of color, race or condition, sociably or civilly. This palpable inconsistency, of itself, is sufficient to demonstrate that they are in error, transfixed either upon one horn of the dilemma or the other. The claim of the Radicals to the support of the colored people is based npon their alleged services to them as a people. The first lessons they taught these trusting people were that they were freed by the Republican party at the expense of a million of lives- and. billions of their beloved dollars, and consequently were bound to serve the party, right or wrong, until the very crack of doom. They rung the changes on the outrages inflicted upon them by the slaveholder while they were in bondage, and excited their hate towards the "rebels," as they termed us, by every conceivable exagger ation that an inventive and malignant imagination could conceive. No wonder that, under these circumstances, we find all political questions merged into that of race. The result has been as these ' f&lse teachers foresaw?the undue, almost unlimited elevation of themselves, greedy and needy adventurers and their baser associates in social and political crime, . at the expense of the poverty, humiliation and degradation of all who do not share with them in the public plunder. ' Having in this manner embittered the colored people against the whites, and sown the seeds of, perhaps, eternal and irreconcilable enmity between the races at the South, they secure the continuance of their 'ascendancy, so basely and viciously attained, by claiming the merit ol having deserted their own race from disinterested love of the negro, and demanding their favors as a compensation foi the well-deserved social proscription ol their own class. Hence it became a moral impossibility for a decent white mar at the South to become a Republican, and most difficult for a colored man tc become a Democrat or anything conservative. If there is to be any restoration ol - good government in this State, under the existing organization of political forces, it must be by teaching the better class of negroes higher and truer ideas of theii privileges and duties as free citizens of a Republic, and procuring their co-operation. The barriers of prejudice against any affiliation between the classes in any political movement, are so formidable, that few of the colored people can be brought to brave them by individual effort, however clearly they may perceive the-necessity and the duty of such a pol"''iicy. There must be strength created by combinations sufficiently powerful to emancipate them from the thraldom of party dictation, and to protect them socially and personally, from party proscription and persecution. Let all the conservative elements of our colored population combine and organize as a colored conservative party, not allied to the Radicals or the Democrats, but banded together as good citizens, determined to overcome prejudice and hate and seek the advancement of their race and the security of their rights and interests, by supporting good laws and good men for office. If 1 ktr tliia time norf vn?r mey ucgm uu.v ..v?. ^ v.. they will be in a condition to secure any reasonable demands peculiar to them as a class, by a union with that party which ^ill aid - them in procuring a good government, just and favorable to all. If . the white people of this State are not prepared to meet them upon such principles, then there can be no good government,. no peace, and no prosperity to South Carolina, under existing conditions. At all events, if there- be such a class of ; colored people amongst us?a class which ' desires peace, amity, and a pure, honest and just government?willing to accord to the whites the means of self-protection, . while securing itself?willing to "live and let live," let them come out of Sodom and plant themselves upon Truth, Justice and the Law, and we promise to meet ihein. Why not Confer ? The Barnwell Sentinel mentions approvingly a proposed conference of gentlemen assembled at Columbia, from the various counties, to consult upon the political situation of the State, and Interchange their thoughts and suggestions thereupon, representing nobody, responsible to nobody, and binding nobody.? The Charleston News objects, we think unreasonably. Why should not ari}r two, three, thirty or fifty citizens meet when and where they will, and confer upon ... _11 1 any or ail topics, religious, morai, sucnu or political, shaping their conduct therein as seeracth them best, on their responsibility as citizens or as men ? IIow about the Press Conference of March, 1870, a much more formidable anil important affair than the meeting of individuals, however exalted ? For ourselves we arc for conference, and early organization, not djitation, and we hope ike Nctvs will be rej resented at any conference held, and will aid the gentlemen comprising it in arriving at that consummation so devoutly wished for by all true-hearted Carolinians, the News included, the mode of best redeem- ' ing the State and securing unity of effort to that end. Loniaiana. Certain United States officials in New Orleans attempted to control the action of the Republican State Convention, a few days since. Marshal Packard, with some of Grant's bayonets, managed the entire business, basing his action upon a supposed disturbance, which, however, did not occur. The Radical papers insist that the greatdisordcr and confusion, consequent upon the action, is not chargeable to the Republi^m party, striving, with this pretext, to cover up the wido and unhealable breach which exists in that party out in Louisiana, and to cast alL the odium upon Packard, for doing what Grant and his henchmen gave him the gower to do. But we insist that as that party gave to Grant, in the first instance, his authority, and have since followed in his wake, praising everything done by this Presidential tool with fulsomeness, that they must shoulder all the consequences which ensue, and not attempt to charge the blame where it docs not properly lie. Correspondence of the Camden Journnl. Charleston, S. C., August, 191S71 Dear Journal: Though so much has been .? said generally about our "late elections" and their success, yet we would liko to have our own special chat with yotl before the subject is dropped altogether and the more so as we would like to give a little honor where it is due. Very few men realized the extent to which the struggle would reach, before it 1 had got well under way, but the first day of i registration revealed to them a suspicion of what it was going to be, and there b?gan that most exciting interest which for one whole week stirred up every man old and r voune to take an active part in the work. L " w ( Men, who up to that time had proposed to have no interest in the election became constant watchers at the polls, young men turned ! out leaving their business and consenting to be under theguardance of some trustworthy 11 and cool headed man, in order that they ' might be guardians of the peace, and not - incediary matter to cause the two inflamable ' elements to take fire.?And much is duo to , the prudence and caution of these same young t men. Ther were of courso many hot headed . ones among them, but each man came there , with his mind imbued with the idea that he was to use every effort to prevent a row, and therefore every man watched his neighbor, and if he saw him in the way of danger, that inclined to let his temper get the bettor of his descretion, he was quick to lead him away from the object of annoyance and so perhaps 1 save many lives. Each individual acted ' upon this principle, the wisdom of which is ' proved by the result for it is note worthy that though the feeling of both parties i (black and white) were wrought up to the highest pitch of excitement, yet no one was k tVv/v /vnlvr 11lftof TT*na fnl'on Vv*r n 11 U(t, UllU IUC UU1J 111V tuav n i?o vaauu ktj t* United Sta'es soldier, as is generally believed. No one who was on the ground and saw the threatening appearance of things gen. erally can hesitate to give honor to these young men who stood there ready to imperil their lives if need be, but determined that that need should be very urgent which would lead them to apply the force which '(hey held there in the intersts of peace and justice. But the benefits of this calmness will not cease with the success of the election. The black man began to realize on that day that his former master felt too kindly toyrards him to mako an issue of blood whith him. Ilis eyes have been opened and truth begins to dawn upon him, the truth which will burst upon him like aTull flood of light as the sun bursts forth from a cloud upon an April day, brighter by contrast, when the Wagener party -demonstrate by their action that they will rule not for the benefit of the white man only, nor like Pillsbnry poor "old man," for the black man only, but equally in the interests of both. In Charleston he will learn that his former master whom he trusts with his money and even his lifo, iB also his best ? friend in politics, and infinitely superior to the vampires who have been stealing his vote to put themselves in power, and under the plea of doing him a service have been taken the very bread' from, his mouth. Gen. "Wegener's administration will influence the vote of the whole State, and that it will be a good influence, there is little room to doubt. The colored man is quick to learn, where his real interests lie, "and when he finds that his former master is only striving for good government, and put truth,, honesty and justice in the place of villainly, extravagance and corruption, then ho will be willincr to throw aside his preiu dices, forget his lessons from false teachers and join hands with liiin for good government. But ho will not learn all this without some assistance, and it is tho duty of every white man to mako every effort to make rplain to the mind of the black man, that his vital interests are altogether bound up with those of his former owner. Citizen. A Noble Benefaction. The Trustees of the Louisvillo Medical College, (Louisville, Ky.) have created one of the most liberal and noble benefactions ever conferred by a public Institution upog any people. Tho Trustees of this Collego have instituted one Beneficiary Scholarship for each Congressional District in the Southern and surrounding States. By this means vry many poor but deserving young men will be enabled to obtain a thorough medical education. Any one wishing to take advantage of this Benefaction which is worth to each student at least 8200, has only to write to Dr. E. S. Gaillard, Dean of the Faculty of the Louisville Medical College, Louisville, Ky., when he will receive a College catalogue with full information in regard to all that is necessary for him to do to socure ono of these Scholarships- With proper and welcome delicacy tbe names of those who have secured tho Beneficiary Scholarship will be known only to the Dean /? .1 n ii Ti _ A x- - 01 trie r acuity. it is unnecessary to cui^mend thoso who have established thoso noble Beneficiary Scholarships. Their act will bring them commendation whorever it is known. In accordance with the old Hipuoeratic oath, forbidding physicians to charge the families of each other for services rendered, the Faculty of this College will make no charge for teaching sons of physicians, and as no physician charges a c'orgym in's family tho sons of clcrgymo is will receive the same, privilege. Tho next College session begins October 2d, 1871. As lecture fees charged for each student who has not obtained a Bonoficiary Scholarship, amount to $120, annually, the public can appreciate tho munificence of this benefaction. * "Fly Loo."?The Cincinnati Commercial has discovered a new species of gambling, which it calls "Fly Loo," and thus describes: "It is in testimony that every afternoon, from twenty to thirty of the very flower of our njcruiujl/lic pupuiumm ICHIC luaumu^iuuui, and under locks and bolts gives themselves up to this satanic game. The players solemnly seat themselves aronnd a table, each with a lump of sugar, and a card bearing in plain letters his responsible name, and representing so much money in front of him, and with a silent gravity that would become a watch meeting, and the illy-concealed anexiety of men staking their all on the cast of a die, await the advent of the first fly. On the buzzing insect comes, sweeping now toward this lump, then veeringofftoward that, sending thrill after thrill of anticipated triumph or expected disappointment through the frames of the anxious watchers. At last the agony is over. The atomic insect, all unconscious of the important part he is playing, the reversals of fortune that he is causing, settles lightly upon a partcular lump of saccharine, and twenty-nine disgusted men lose from $5 to ?25 each, while the delighted representative of tho sweet morsel chosen scoops in the whole pile."
