"Just to All. Servile to None."
Our Court IIouso was thronged to a
perfect overflow yesterday in a convention
of the taxpayers of this county.
Xo indifferent spirit was manifested by
the good citizens assembled, but work,
business and reality was the order of
the convention. The Camden Journal
was sustained in a manner truly
gratifying to us. Thanks to all of our
friends and taxpayers. It shows us
&a "just to all, but servile to none,"
save right.
The Political Outlook.
We have read with intense interest
u???/nD f.illnivf'r? them
OUr c.v. .v..v
closely as the)* have surveyed the political
field. TYc regret to be forced to ac
knowledge that from what we can
gather, the outlook for the Democracy
is quite misty, if uot exceedingly cloudy.
So far, the decrees have been against
us, and the near future, when tho important
elections take place, give but
little evidence of a brighter sky. Maine,
tho pine State, that but a year ago was
torn from radical rule, after a strong
contest this fall, has dropped back into
the arms of her political darlings?the
Biaincs and the Hailes. California recedes,
too, from tho gallant stand which
she recently took, and now joins hand
id hand with the enemies of good government.
New York, the great central
pivot upon which depends to a great degree
the success of our next Presidential
nominee, is torn into dissension and
discord, and throws to thp breeze the
flsc of two Democratic candidates for
Governor. The honest, rood yeomanry
uf that state are opposed by Tammany,
the cradle of Tweedism, and the crib
that fattened Tilden into the position
that his lack of nerve failed to give him.
The split is no light affair, and bids
fair to dismember the party and allow a
Republican victory. Governor Robinson
who has so^ faith fully served the
party, and upon whom there is neither
mo* v* indorsed by all good
inen.and his deieat'Vrrrt**?4^_4ejjiora.
bio in the extreme. However, he is
cripple i id the house of his friends,
aod wo fear tho result.
Ohio waxes warm. The clarion voice
of the gallant Ewing rings from mountain
to valley, aDd day by day his re?
sistless eloquence appeals in fervid language
to the people of the great "Ruck
Eye" State to 6tan<] and hold up the
standard that Jefferson and Jackson
once bore. His opponents, too, are
moving heaven and earth to defeat him,
and both sides peom sanguine. We are
hopeful, but see nothing particularly
bright. The bloody ?hirt still waves in
every campaign, and its crimsoned colors
lose none of their brightness as the
contest goes on. The Chisolm murder
is painted in gory hues, and acts that
would be a shame and disgrace to our
age and country aio manufactured
against us. Eager ears listen to them
and believe them, and justice veils her
face while she blushes at the wrongs
that we are forced to bear. In short,
the dial is against us at this time. This
is not an encouraging ouuook, ana ir
grieves us so to speak, but it is our
view, and wc trust that the clouds
which now, politically, look so dark
may yet burst in mercy o'er our heads*
The Price of t'otlou.
^-?*^Jyi|^^^^^cch^^ocotton during
curred in the faco o^thetmfa^JTRWw
report of the condition cf the crop.
It might be accounted for in two ways.
The rapidity with which tho crop has
opened, and the haste to put it in market,
may have overstocked it, or tho
decline is the result ot speculation.
This latter reason is the most probable.
Tlin mgrl-Af 5i? fnfiippa whinh nnw
seems to influence the price at all
times, was oversold For September delivery,
under the impression that prices
would decline sharply when new cotton
crime in, but receipts not meeting expectations,
stocks running low*, und
large orders being received from Europe
to buy the new crop, an upward
movement for the first of the month
was natural. Now all these contracts
have been filled, and a deline is the result.
The quotations of futures for
the Dext six months are low, but we
are inclined to believe the price will
advance. The total visib'e supply of
cotton in the world on September 13
was 202,5S5 bales less than last year :
t;.e stock in Liverrool and afloat vras
17ti,000 biles less than last year; and
the stock at all United States ports was
l'r.OOO bal? s less than last year. While
t!>e crop of this year is several weeks
later than last, it is also considerably
shorter. Hence, as soon as the uneasiness
subsides on account of the settlements
for this month, and the real status
of tho crop established, the pi ice
w 1! assume something like a firro basis, ,
anci while it may not return to the figures
at the opening of the market, Wj ,
* ' m-m
think it will iuijrov ? upon the present
price..
Considering all the conditions. l>usi<
ness for the new crop, we believe, is
promising. Stocks of cotton are low
all over the world, manufactured poods
are in small supply and large demand,
1 '* * tKnt w.n tr! 11

he so large as to exceed the necessities
nf actual consumption, or that the
financial disasters of last year will be
repeated. We do not advise our people
to hold their cotton for higher
prices, for the advance may not be sufficient
to pay for the risk, but we give it
as our opinion that cotton will have to
tako a rise before long.
[From our Own Correspondent.]
On the lVincr.
A slow ride, with genial company,
landed me upon the historic grounds of
Kingville. A fast ride, and no company
brought me to Columbia. At this
time Columbia looks real business like.
Cotton is coming in rapidly, and thrifty
merchants with full hands stand ready
to welcome it. In fact, lam impressed
with the spirit of business that pervades
this city just now, ?.nd it is gratifying
to see the spirit of cheer that belongs
to all.
Of course the duty of your humble
correspondent was not to buy or sell.
To tret advertisements and subscriptions,
etc., and to peek Executive clemency
for a poor convict was hip work. Our
columns will attest to the success of the
former, while work not yet done, but
hoped for, must bear me out in the lat*
ter. I visited the penitentiary to see
the unfortunate Pcbvuhl, aud to obtain
from Col. Lipscomb a recommendation
to His Excellency, Gov. Simpson, for a
commutation. While there, I saw
many of the convicts from Kershaw;
and, of course, tho far famed Turnage.
Poor fellow; his pinched and haggard
look, his shriveled limbs, his cold, sharp
and wild eyes quickly impress you with
the fact that he knows full well that the
sunlight of liberty nc longer sbines for
him, but that the sentinels pace and the
watchman's turnkey is to be his future
existence with this cartii. I could but
feel a sympathy for thq friendless crca.
turo as I shook his clammy hand, and
as he in accents (I believe him) express
ed his delight at seeing me. Whatever
may be said of him, he has one trait in
his nature, sometimes Dot fouDd in those
frea frnm hi* primes?I mean gratitude,
It was a source of pride and gratification
to hear Col. Lipscomb sneak ol
the deportment of the unfortunate man
whose release I was trying to procure. l,I
have no hesitancy in saying," said the
colonel, "that he is one of the urns!
trustworthy inmates of this institution
- toid I shall take pleasure in accompanyingyo
-*-4U$JjLovernor jn his behalf.''
We went to GoveTTTTrt-au*,^ but hi:
unchangeable rule that he woula~lTaiv?,
pardon, respite or commute was striotlj
adhered to, unless recommended by tin
judge All of our talk amounted ti
nothing, and I was forcibly struck with
the^fact that when he says "no," h(
means no. While courteous, mild
ea!m, dignified, you fail to see in him
that gushing, manly sympathy of hearl
for poor fallen man which so strongly
impressed you with the character of
Governor Ilampton. Hut, indeed, it
takes generations to produce such men
as Washington. Lee, Thornwc|j udc!
Hampton. The Governor is looking
well, and seems bright and cheerful.
| Here let me speak of the excellent
discipline and beautiful condition oi
the State Penitentiary. There is scarcely
ever an occasion when the more rigid
rules of discipline are enforced. The
cleanliness of the prisoners and the
yard is really surprising. Everything
moves like clock work, and I do believe
that the day is not far distant when
this institution will be a source of revenue
to the State. *To Col. Lipscomb,
too much praise cannot be given.
My prosy letter is already gettiug too
long, and the remaining portion of my
trip I will give you nest week. I leave
tonight for Augusta, where I expect
to meet many old friends.
