James Chesnut, Chairman Executive Committee. Political Harmony. Wc published, last week, a letter written by General Kershaw to a friend, giving his views as the policy of the opposition party in the State. This letter has been copied by the whole Statu press. Republican and Conservative, almost without exception, and favorably received, as expressing the sentiments of a patriot of known wisdom, moderation, and gallantry. The letter was remarkably mild in expression, and contained nothing, so far as we could see, to offend any person, whatever might be his party, professions, or color. Nevertheless, this gentle epistle has fallen apparently like a bomb shell into the camp of the politicians nf the UnionJ/ernld ring, and has caused the wildest consternation, which displays itself in the bitterest abuse of Gen. Kershaw, and the whole opposition. The editor and correspondents of the Union-Jfrralil can find nothing to say against the character of General Kershaw, of course. and, for lack of material, arc obliged to go hack to the war and the period ol' Reconstruction, front which they hsh up oiu una expioaeu charges, their favorite stock in trade, and serve them anew, with all the paraphernalia of bombastic nonsense and reckless falsehood. The animus displayed about this letter is really remarkable, ami calls for explanation. Gen. Kershaw docs not offer himself as a candidate for any of the offices, the lovo of which is the life and soul of the Republicanism, and interest in the colored uian, of which certain politicians boast themselves. If he did. their hostility might be explained upon that theory. He only, in a letter to a friend, expresses the opinion that partisan hostility should be buried, that all good men should combine to save the State, and that full justice should bo done to all classes of citizens. The officeholding ring are afraid that their constiiuents might be disposed to take h'?ui at his word, and offer him political preferment, knowing that such a course would be iiatu ral. Hut it would also be the death of their hopes, and must therefore be pre vented by all available means. To maintain their ascendency, it is necessary that the colored people should mistrust and hate the white people of the State. Had lien. Kershaw advised the formation of white leagues, intimidation of voters, forcible resistance to the government, and other violent and revolutionary acts, his letter would have been kindly received, and. no doubt, published as a campaign document. But when he proposes to sink everything 111 the good of the State and tho welfare of its people, his motives are misrepresented, the extended hand of friendship is called the treacherous velvet pair, previous utterances ofh is are thrown into his face without any statement of the circumstances which called them forth, and nothing is omitted which can prcju dice his friends against him. -'--I- ? ..l?.... ,i.<. r ??r 011' II 11*4?J tii tl UJ CJ l/V V, il | i| v jnyiji I ?/i v.?i tain Republican leaders in South Carolina. They are bitter and n?roin^rumisimj enc_ inics ol" the good people of the State, as ai! thieves are of those wlmut they plunder. Friendly overtures exasperate them more than the most outspoken hostility; for how can a man rob those with whom he ha^ once joined hands. JJufc yet, win n their villany became so great arid intolerable as to eon'ipe! an appeal to the National government and the pub'tieopinion of the country, the burden of their uong was that the good people of the Mat? will not harmonize. will not conciliate, and persist* enil ivlus?- t' take any part in the gov. ortiuu ut. If none of our professions aro to he believed, wo luiM be txco-ud ii we put no faith in the promises of rcf< rut, which are now so loudly made. \\ e have heard the same thing for the last six years, as each campaign came ar uunl. Two years ago, poor Closes was a sain'; m w his quondam friends can find no paint black enough to portray hi.* resemblance to an incarnate devil. Now, Mr. ('Iian.bcrLiu is the great deliverer, who is lopui iii. foot on fraud,, f f * L v r corruption, bogus bonds, and high taxa-1 lion, and crush them to the earth; two] years hence, where will lie be? Most prob-1 ably shelved and labeled by the side of much abused Scott and Moses. A Proposition. The letter of''Reform," in another column, contains a proposition, by which the vexed question, of how all discordant political elements may be combined, may be settled. The plan, is. that an e<jual representation of white and colored men. from each school district, meet in convention, and nominate a ticket that ali can support. This suggestion comes from one who is no politician by profession, and no office seeker, but an intelligenCcitizcn, who has been thinking over schemes for taking the government from the hands of'"rings," whether state, county, or precinct. We arc always glad to afford the people an .opportunity of speaking through our columns. Genera! Kerslum for Governor. The Greenville Enterprise and Mountaineer has the following : " We have very little doubt but that Gen. Kershaw can be elected to Congress from the 4th District; but if the colored people of the Republican part)*, who arc clamorous for reform, are sincere and honest, and arc willing to accept a gentleman for Governor who will do justico to all honest men in the distribution of his patronage, and who will sweep out the thieves, they can put themselves right before the Federal Administration and before the couni trv at lartre. bv electinir Gen. Kershaw * * J 0-7 ^ w Governor of the State of South Carolina." The Lexington Dispatch says: "It is stated that Gen. J. 13. Kershaw will be a candidate for Congress from the 4th Congressional District. We would prefer to have him as a candidate for Governor.? A better man could not be found in the State, nor one who would be more capable of performing tho duties of the office.? We will stand by Gen. Kershaw ever} time." Tho Kirtgo Springs IHJIit-uifj-. In the early part of last week there were grave apprehensions of serious troubles at Kidge Springs, in Kdgefield County, on the line of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Kailroad. A diffieulty oc? jcurrcd between a white and a colored man in reference to some business settle' mcnt. This quarrel was taken up by the blacks generally, who armed themselves, and assembled in largo numbers, apaparcntly intent upon a fight. The whites prepared to defend themselves, and sent to Columbia and Augusta for arms and ammunition. Quite a uuuiberof Geor gians came over from Augusta to assist their friends at Ridge Springs, and for a day or two a little war cloud threatened. But finally prudent and wi^o counsels prevailed, and peace was rctorjd. One ot the ringleaders has been arrested, and, no doubt, Judge Carpenter will give him the ; benefit of the law, when ho next hold? Court at Edgefield. We are happily lice from such disturbances in Kershaw, and i : the effort of all should be to preserve our j present friendly relations. The cause and motives of tHese difficulties and the duty of law-abiding citi_ zeiiB, when they arise, arc forcibly stated by the Charleston A* <rS and Cvurtrr, in the following article, which we copy entire: Following swiftly upon the heels oi the Georgetown riot, in which only negroes are engaged, comes the tidings of a disturbance in Edgefield County, in this State, in which the blacks are the aggressors. A strong detachment of whites was instantly sent from Augusta to Ridge Springs, and any force that may be re(juired to lvstore pcaco will be promptly t l-I.A/l \I,.w? lw.or?;i,. ill l 11.. limits. ,,| I U1 *'t V?7V liVUIVilJi III I IIV llll uiv V* j an innocent and outraged people, do we thank the gallant Georgiaua, those men joi'brave deeds and lew words, who tell us : that we can counton themto help us in any 1 and every emergency. They mean it, and we know that tlicy mean it, and the magic touch of the elbow will have its effect ?n?>t in encouraging disorder, not in encouraging bloodshed, but in securing trail juillity to the Mate. There is some reason to fear that the jSouthern Radicals, lirst in warlike talk and last to face the flashing of the guns, are bent on egging on the negroes, their dupes, to conduct whi .h is likely to lead to collisions with tlio whites. The object , is to check the rising lide of Conservatism, and to secure to the Republican party at least those Southern Stales which they ; uow control. A military government, j composed of I nited States officers of high rank, would be inliuitcly more acceptable I * * 1 A? I \ ? 1* 4? _ ! unci puuurauie m oduui i aruiina. n.r exJ amplo, tlun the rule of a Chamberlain or | a .Mom-s; but this could hardly be the result ol'a race conflict, which would probably cause tlie I'nitod States forces to Inarrayed on the side of the State author: ties; who, so strengthened, would continue, without let or hindrance, their spuli ation and tyranny. We cannot afford, therefore, to play into the hands of the white lladieals by rushing into a fight ' where a tight can. by any honorable means, be avoided; nor should we \ i.?it on the heads ol the rank ami lile of the negroes, the responsibility for what is, in truth, the wilful and deliberate wrong i doing of their concealed leaders. It seems to us that the proper com -o to pursue is i this: The largest toleration and greatest i moderation should be practiced in deal-tig J with the negroes, and. under no circumstances. Should the whites strike tho tirst blow; but when the blacks, despite pru dent reserve and patient remonstrance. I commit an unmistakable act of violence, ; towards man or woman, they should be [promptly and sharply punished, and the T'Vyrr'^'^'iV" ii'iHi^BTTiBWnffTiBB?f effort should be made to cause full punishment to fall on those who. whether present or absent, are known to be the directors of the neuroes in whatever unlawful thiiif; the) do. There arc half-adozen liieu in each county who arc at the bottom of every act of violence which the negroes, as a body, attempt to commit. They arc the men who hold office and pocket money, and upon their heads, relentlessly but without vindictivencss, must and shall bo put the responsibility for every drop of blood, of white man or of black, that, through their action or inaction. shall be shed iu the South. Peace, honor, prosperity ! That is what we seek; and Peace, first of all. Carolinians are men, who have wives and children to defend; and when they are struck, they strike back, and strike hard. FOR THE JOURNAL. Messrs. Editors: Our County is now quite excited about the approaching elections, especially the colored people, and though not a politician in the least, I have talked some with a few of the leading colored men around uic, and am led to believe, that if the proper plan is pursued the two parties can be brought together for the mutual benefit of both. The plan I wish to propose is this: Let a convention be called to meet in Camden, composed of two white and two colored delegates from each of the twelve School Districts, which would givo forty eight members in the convention. Let this convention nominate a ticket for the State and County officers of an equal number of white and colored persons, said nominees to be the choice of both parties, our white delegates pledging the conservative party to respect and guarantee the rights of the colored people, and likewise the colored delegates pledging their party to respect the rights of the conservatives. 1 believe, Messrs. Editors, that this can be done, if the proper efforts arc made by our leading men. This is my plan, and I hope you, who are so much more competent to do so, will lay it before your readers in such a manner as to call out some of our honored leaders. Reform. for the journal. K?Ne Hall and " Jack Sprat.*' At a meeting of the Kershaw Base Ball Club, it was Ucfohrd, That a Committee be appoin ted to prepare a suitable reply to a communication in a recent number of the CamJm Journal. i The following is the accepted report: ) Messrs. Editors: We were much I surprised to see in the usually eonserva! tivc columns of your valuable paper, a : fierce, and, with due respect to the auithor, one "Jack Sprat," whoever he may | be, a most unjust attack upon what we i consider the healthy, manly, and most re j spectablc game of "base ball," just at this i time so much in vogue among our people, I affording, wo claim, and defy proof to the ! contrary, healthy exercise to the young ,! men engaged in -it, and an attractive ,! amusement to all of our people, the old J and young, men, women, and children. wives, mothers, daughters and sisters, who .: give the sanction of their presence ; and jour clergymen take an interest in and api prove all that is done upon the ground. One would suppose that such a match, as was played between the "Kershaw" and "Cauiden" Base Ball Clubs, a lew days I ago, was such a scene of riot and debauchery n? could only be witnessed at a prize I tight between "plugs" in the neighborhood I of some Northern city, where the men ! were "beastly roughs" and the women ' their lit associates. This would seem so, when the word "despicable" is so evident ly implied. Now, Messrs. Editors, what was the true coudition of things. You, we know, were present, and one of you hold the position of "Empire," and can testify?was i there an oath, was there a ribald exprcs ' t-ii.ii tpnu t )wn>n n ilfAn eA' ltmiivt* c?i vfl .Tl'Ulj tltiO UIVIV 1? Ul\'|r VI ii'JlU'I, ?.? 1 V water, on the ground, did you, or any one else see or hear 3 single v.ord, look, or act. that would warrant the reflection cast by the aforesaid "Jack Sprat." or that the j most innocent could not have listened to I without a blush ? I It seems scarcely worth while to enter into an argument against so wanton an attack upon the amusement of a whole : community?in that community?but 1 since you have given if the sanction of your columns, wo feel ourselves bound, as representing this Club, and in the name |of this Club, and every member of it, to I protest against charges so utterly without ] foundation, and which betray, upon the part of the writer, a complete ignorance i of the manner in which the game is conducted among us. and the character of . r> j the gentlemen who compose the Clubs, and j that of the ladies and gentlemen who parjticipntc in the pleasuro afforded by the ! pauic, as well. Wo as-oire ".lack Sprat," as he calls j himself, that if he is always willing that everything lie dues, shall he dune in the | presence of the women he respects, he need not hunt up one to advice with j anumg the ' Spirit Hoppers," (<|tiesli"iiu | hlo company at hcl.) and moreover, wlm know just as mm-h about I!a e Hall and the men who play it, in this community, ; as he docs?no more, no les>. And we would advise him to cut the companion: slup without delay, for we are inclined to i {believe tbatthey aie of the Pc-vil, and1 j have known good men trained into evil ways, by consorting with them ; and are I tempted to explain the hJiucinatioii un-i der which he seems to labor in this particular matter, to the bedoviluicut of the Siren he seems so much taken up with. Saul made but a poor out of it with the Witch of Kudor. So, Sprat, look sharp, or you will get into some bog, ami never find your way out. Very respectfully, II. C. Salmond, B. 0. Kennedy, I. M.

Yesterday ovc?ing about seven o'clock, a diabolical deed was perpetrated in this city, which has aroused the indignation of our people. The fiendish act plainly shows to what degree of barbarism the negro of the South bus degenerated, and what the whites may look for as long as they are shielded in their villainy by the strong arm of the law. It seems that while Capt. Butler, thcagent of the South Carolina Railroad, accompanied by his wife and child were endeavoring to descend from car No. 15, at the corner of Broad and Marbury streets, they were prevented from doing so by a mulatto named Gabriel Murrel, who blockaded the steps. Capt. Butler then pushed Murrel one side and extended his hand f/* lt?o Iinlrv* Iiav n tvlinn slip IV UIO ITUV IV IJUip UCl " ?IVM ??v was violently pushed by Michael Murrcl, a brother of Gabriel. Gabriel then drew a pistol and discharged it at Capt Butler, the ball entering at the left temple and lodging in the brain. Captain Butler fell and in a few seconds was bathed in his blood The frantic calls of his agoni/.eu wife drew several gentlemen to the spot, who rendered all assistance in their power, and conveyed the dying man to his residence at the corner of Greene and Marbury streets, where lie received inu mediate medical attention from l)rs. Campbell, Ford, DeSaussurc, Eve and other prominent gentlemen of the fraternity. THE MURDKKEK AT HAY, As soon as Murrcl had committed the deed he dropped his pistol, turned and fled, but was met by Policeman Tiriley. who ordered him to halt. Paying no attention to the command. Tinlcy fired at him, the hall grazing his lips. Finding that there were more pistols than one in , the neighborhood, tlto ruffian turned, and j ! while muttering some insolence pretend" d j to draw a weapon, hut. discovering that i I the pistol of Tinlcy was pointed at his 1 breast, quickly threw up his arms ami | surrendered. The trouble did not < :t?i. I here, however, for a crowd of ncgriv - so.m gathered, but in their attempt to ;? . .e the prisoner, Michael Murrel, who was seized by another policeman, caused the club of the policeman to descend upon ; the head of Michael, which brought him to terms. They were taken to jail, when the news Sl'RKAW T.IKF. WII.HFIKK I throughout the city, carrying with it cn ii j stomal ion in every quarter. A large number of citizens .assemble^ armim! I Capt.

The jailor rcmmi-tinj ted, but in vain. "Open your doors or 'they will he forced," came the stern and imperious command. The gate yielded, and the body proceeded to the cells of the Murrels,secured their prisoners and i marched them to a lonely spot. Til K MlllNKlHT C?U RT.
