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.

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."

COOKING STOVES.
It is a well-known fact that the Cooking Stove
has heretofore found but few admirers in the
SOUTHERN COUNTRY,
hence its,utility is but little known. In consequence
of a complete revolution in the system of
labor in that, portion of our country, and domestic
duties devolving mostly upon those heretofore
unaccustomed to perform such labor,
Tlie Oooliing Stove
is now sought after as the most
Burial aifl Late-savins Male
that has yet been invented for cooking purposes,
at prices within the reach of all who desire to
use them. As agent for a well known manufacturing
establishment, I am enabled to supply the
people of Camden and surrounding country

of any size required, at prices that defy competition,
