As Usual.
The time will never come when the
puro mioded moralists of the North will
cease to misrepresent, hate and abuse
tho helKdeserving wretches of the
South. We may cry: "Let us have
peace "Meet us half way and shake
hands with us across the bloody chasm/'
and "He serves his party best who
serves his country best"?we might do
all of this until our tODgue would refuse
to give utteranco to our words; we
might go further, and clothe ourselves
in sackcloth and ashes and pray three
times a day with our faces turned towards
Boston, and still the Fame course
will be pursued by those immaculate people.
of whom Chamberlain, Cass Carpen
ter and Whittemore are St representatives
that have prevailed ever since they got rid
of their slaves by selling them to their
Southern neighbors, and will continue
to prevail until the end of time. In one
breath they applaud as a virtuous and
praiseworthy act in the State of Massachusetts
what they condemn and utterly
abhor in South Carolina. A
crowd of men could bully and break up
a convention at Worcester, but when a
body of poverty stricken, long suffering
and patience-tried Democrats go in red
shirts to a Radical meeting down here
in South Carolina, aud request and are
granted a "division of time," and then
proceed to say what they think of the
manner in which the colored peoplo
have been misled and deceived by their
leaders and so called friends, and bow
the State has been plundered and well
nigh destrojed?wheo we do this, the
tender heart of the great North is made
to bleed, and a fear is excited tnat the
wards of the nation are about to be de?
prived of some of their rights under the
law.
Bot what are the facts ? For eight
years the white people of South Carolina,
representing as they did the
wealth, intelligence and virtue of the
country, were deprived of a voice in
the government, were plundered and
robbed, and subjected to every insult
and wrong that a hellish malignity
?1 - 1 4. it J 4
C0U1C1 conceive, u ut uioae urucuv
friends of suffering humanity never
uttered one word on our behalf, or in
condemnation of those who were ruining
us. During this period, colored
men were forbidden to vote the Democratic
ticket, and where they dared to do
so they were ostracised, abused, whipped
and in many instances killed, and yet
those advocates of morality and of the
doctrine that all men were created free
and equal found not a word of
censuro for tho oppressors, or of pity
for the oppressed. Do wc distort facts?
Every citizen of South Carolina knows
the truth of what we say. It is known
that never until cow could a colored man
vote in Kershaw county again9t "the
party" without molestation on the part
of his own race. It is a fact that not
a drop of blood has been shed in the
present campaign, save that of Frank
Massfcy, a ctflW&i Democrat hi' LtaCai*
ter county, who was shot and dangerously
wounded by a black Radical on
account of his political opinions. But a
thousand colored Democrats might be
killed, and those large hearted philanthropists
would never discover anything
wrong in their manner of leaving this
world. Oh, no; ic is all important with
them whose ox is gored. And this
being the case, we may regard the hal?
loballoo raised by the northern press over
the presence of Democrats at Radical
meetings as nothing more than usual.
Do what we may, we need expect no aid
or comfort from that quarter. Upon
ourselves, and ourselves alone, depends
our salvation. So let us move constantly
forward in the course marked out, and
never look back, uor to the right or left*
until our work shall have been completed.
Democratic Clubs.
The Democratic clubs of Camden
have many limes beeu culled upon to
meet at their hall to consult together regarding
the present campaign, and out
of a membership of 135 names they
cannot get over forty or fifty members
to come to tho moeting. Why is it
that they do not turn out ? If there
ever was a time 10 the history or old
Kershaw when she needed active work
on tho part of her good citizens, now is
the time. One of the most important
elections ever held in the State is soon
to come off, and one which is to decide
whether we are to go on in prosperity
and happiness under a good government,
or bo thrown back under Radical rule
when villainy, rascality and corruption
will again assume sway over us.
"We all know what Radical rule is,
and wo do not want to see it again. It
has bankrupted the State Treasury and
ruined all our public institutions, besides
paralyzing nearly every branch of industry
in the State. Knowing that such a
_4.i. ;n i a. :/
siuie 01 mings win come auout again u
tho Radicals win, can any good citizen
content himself'by thinking that bis
neighbor's work will do for him, and that
his presence at the clnb is not necessary
to insure success ? Friends, this will
not do. Too many of you think that
way now. The mere fact that you intend
to vote the right ticket is not sufficient;
you must work for it with all
the energy you have. The time is
drawing near, and in that short time
everything must be done to give us victory.
This is the turning of the scales.
If we win now, we will be safe hereafter

the Democrats of Camden are asleep
and indifferent to tbe situation. The
Radicals are not so badly demoralized
as many of you think they are, and we
will havo to work, one and all, if we
intend to beat them

Apples are so plentiful in New 1
Hampshire and prioes so low that the
farmers cannot afford to pay for picking ]
thetn. Barrels, on the contrary, are in
such demand that when some thieves
entered a barn in South Seabrook the
other night they emptied tho apples on
the barn floor and carried off only the
barrels.
The Mount Vernon (Ind.) lynchers
are carrying out matters with a high

says parties are ridiog around notifying

and that already many have fled
in terror. It is again reported that the
old man Harris escaped the fury of the
mob by jumping out of the jail window
and taking to the woods. Mr. Hayes
should turn his attention from affairs in
South Carolina, and consider whether a
call for troop3 to suppress negro-killing
in Indiana would be admissiblo under
the passe comitatus clause of the army
bill.
A ship canal through tbe Peniusula
of Florida, from Matanzas Iulet to the

Some of the bodies of the drowned
in the Princess Alice disaster were
taken from the water, robbed and thrown
back again, and in more than.one case
drowning passengers were passed by
boatmen with the remark, "Oh, never
mind bim, he's alive; look outfor the der.d
ones." This is owing to the regulation
which provides that a reward of five
shillings be paid for the recovery of
dead body, but fails to reward the
rescuer of the living.
Little Hattie Engo.l, eight years of
age, did justice a good turn in Jersey
City on Tuesday by recognizing Edward
Burns in court as one of the men who
robbed her father's house some weeks
ago. The entire family, except the girl,
were bucked and gagged at tho time by
burglars, all of whom wore masks. Oue
of the villinns took off his mask to wipe
his face, and u moment's glance at it
made such :i vivid impression on the
little girl's mind that she easily picked
out the fellow from a parly of three.
On Thursday last, while the wife of
Houston Dcmere, a planter in Bryan
County, fifteen miles from Savannah,
was returning from a visit to a neighbor,
she was followed by a well-known
negro named Giles, who beat her and
attempted to outrage her. but was prevented
by the timely arrival of a gentleman.
The negro fled, but was captured
on Friday, aod while he was in charge
of a constable Mr. Bemcre shot hint .and
then surrendered himself. The negro
died on Sunday.
The Grateful South.?The people
of the North still continuo to send us
food, clothing and money. Tlicy have.1
noc weuried of well doing. Their com-;
mittees are still at work and their great j
dailies aro still urging collections for J
our sick and deslituto people. With a I
generosity unbounded they arc piling
up measure after measure, eacli one
larger than the other, and all overflow*
ing, even after we have said, "Thanks,
we havo enough and to spare." What
can we say ? Words will not tell the
sense of gratitude we feel at an exhibit
of manly perseverance in a good work
surpassing anything the world has known
before.?Memphis Appeal.
Advices from the West received by
the Kansas Pacific Railroad Company
say that the sheriffs of Saline, Rice and
Hays Counties, Kansas, with a strong
posse, attacked the rendezvous of a gang
of train robbers west of Brookfield on
the eastern border of the Great American
Desert, seme two hundred miles
west of Kansas City, on the 19th inst.
Amonf the caDtured was Mike Rouke,
? n i
leader of tho gang and a notorious desperado.
They wounded Dan Dement,
who, however, escaped, and three others
of the gang also got away, but the posso
started in pursuit at onoe, going south
towards Fort Dodge. Mike Rouke waB
the leader of the band that robbed the
Atchison, Topeka and Saute Fe trains
at Kingsley, and the Kansas Gity, St.
Joseph and Uounc:i liiun iraiu at
Winthrop somo months ago. It is bolievcd
that his capture will break up
one of tbe etrongost and uiost desperate
bands of thieves and robbors ever organized.
One hundred and fifty 'possums, confined

from Walhalla. They were consigned
to a well known colored caterer of Col*
umbia, who proposes to put them up,
fatten them, and deal them out to his
customers, where they would do the
most good. The shipper has ovidently
mado a mistake in tbi3 business ven*
lure; he surely forgets the fact that
Mr. Chamberlain and his followers are
institutions of the past, and that " 'possum
meat" will not be as popular in the
future as it used to was, and the 'possum

a "gnashing of teeth," even if there was
an absence of ".weeping and wailing,"
