f T. H. CLARKE, Editor. ? G. 0. ALEXANDER, Proprietor. P CAMDENTS. CT 0CT0BE1T23~1879! a A Solid North vn. A Solid South. Tb# recent elections in tha great 0 States of Ohio and Iowa fully satisfies a us as to about what is the political sta- 1 tus in the North at present. It is deep- n 1 y to be deplored, and is extremely uu- * favorable to the oountry. Living:, as a . ?j i d we do, under on? government, unu uuviDg a common interest, it is a pity that D the two great factions of this country, c which a few yearn age were engaged in internicene war, should be now arrayed in this manner. We can see but little remedy for it, and can only look to c time, the great enre for all evils, to heal } and bind up the trouble. The South, c unfortunately, after the bloody strife, t was governed and ruled by a let of peo- t pie so foreign and alien to all her inter* j est.?, that the conditiou of affairs here ] was worse than war. Our people bore { r ~ - ""-"t nAh nnt.il t'nr* 11 J UI Q iuug b!UlV| ouu uvw ? ?* - | bearance had ceased to bo a virtue did | they make any resistance whatever. ? As if by divine inspiration, and certain- j ly with diviie approval, they rose up 1 and threw off the galling yoke. iNotby t force of arms, as is charged ; not by j sword and fire, bnt with the peaceable | agency of the ballot. This gave us a < solid delegation in Congress, and placed | eur State affairs in our own hands, i The revelations of rascality that were i brought to light proved that we were ! right, if nothing el6e did, and was a i fall jnstification of our position. It i verified all that we had said, and was i proof positive to the world that we ] were right. In spite of this, however, | our Northern brethren have taken a mis- ' taken view of things, and they charge i that the power of 1860 is now being 1 resuscitated. That we are growing in defiant strength, and that the present generation will walk into power with the full plume of war floating to the 1 breeze. Perhaps the lenient manner in ' which these criminal have been treated ' may hare had something to do with it. 1 Of this we are not positive, but it is 1 deeply to be regretted that sueh is the case. Mr. Blaine, Mr. Conkling dnd ' Sherman have but to hoist their bloody flag, denounce nod misrepresent us, and 1 they have a following. Col. Butler, to and zest to it ail, must carry on his ' "nigger dogs," and the play is complete, ' the icenery is lovely for Radical eyes, ' and the great demoniactic farce be- ' comes a reality. Well, so it is. >ve ' cannot help it. We must be patient, 1 and bear the ills we have. Right will prevail, and as it i> oar standard, let us 1 inarch on without trembling to the final < goal. t s Oar State Fair. r We are exceedingly gratified at the c present outlook for oar State fair. Our ^ people seem determined to make it a ^ etiAAACc anrt frmn all nn*rfi?r<? Wft leam - of the flattering outlook. This is en* B couraging. It is time for South Caro- t lina to show by her public exhibitions . what she is capable of, and in no wise e can she do this as well as at her annual I fair. The Northern and Northwestern States pride themselves upon this great gathering of their people, and it has added much to the growth and wealth of those States. Let us then do our all to make it a success, and let our people turn out and meet each other. A friend ly shake of the band, a good strong grip and an interchange of views will do i much to dispel gloom and renew the old feeling that used to exist in oar State. We trust that the turn out will he large, ^ and that the heavens may be propitioas for the occasion. The Crops.?Their Results, ami C What is Best to be Done. We believe that a very wide range and 'atitude ii given to newspaper men in their range as advisers, counsellors, Ac., and this being so, we venture, at this important season of' the jear, to throw out a few suggestions. The rj crops, as a general thing, are not up to the high standard that thej at one time promised. Corn in many sections is a failure, and cotton far behind. This, with the heavy decline in the price of our staple, makes thing very serious in many instances, and every possible remedy (should uow be employed to ar- j rest the evil sequences of such a state j of affairs. In no way can it better bej done than by planting a full crop of all | of the fall products. Oats, wheat, tur-j nips, &c., will all tend to lighten the ] burden, and in the pinching months of j ^ May and J une will come in as a grand j -V I lief l<> the overburdened farmer. W e , tiould look carefully to these things, Dd see that we are not behind. In lis way a great deal of sufforiug may t avoided, and much good accom- ' liahed. Wipe out jour leins.

Butler auid His Blood Hounds. Sometimes we are unable to form any ipinion whaterer of human nature. iVe see so much of it,. in its true or leformed state, we know not which, hat we are frequeitly befuddled. In his'connsotion, we are obliged to ex; )ress our great indignation at Colonel Butler's operations jn New York. Surely if this "to do" that he is natcnog op is an index to his character, he >elong3 to a very low type of mankind, ind in no wise displays the foul or udgement of the noble name that he mrs. We are glad that ha is no kin ;o our illustrious Senator. He is showng to the N*w York people what we inow nothing about?that is a real pack )f blood hounds; and we will e?en go further and venture the assertion that aiuety out of one handrcd are totally ignorant of this radical devise down South. Of cours^ he is pandering to the lowest taste of the vulgar populace, and at the same time catering to the radical^fanatics. We presume be is hired to do this dirty work, or he ex* pects to make something out of it. ro say tho least of it, he draws his rj?o??roo if fh?q hfl a nleasurc. from a very muddy cistern. The Hired Uonvlcts. The sweet sounding melody from the persons who hired the State convicts from the State penitentiary, is a mockery and a sham. It is an absurd idea to suppose that the enormous mortality there reported could hare occurred unless brutality and outrage were the order of the day. We charge, without fear of contradiction, that the contractors of the Greenwood and Augusta Railroad are responsible for this enormity. Upon a recent visit to Columbia, we were credibly informed that the backs of these convicts were in some instances so lascerated that they were is offensive to the olfactories as they nrert to the eyes. This is a. shame. We know that the penitentiary is a jlaco where sharp rigour should be exircised, and the convicts should learn hat it is to be no bed of roses; but inch acts as these are disgraceful, and eflect upon our people no little disredit. We bslieve the directors of the lenitentiary to be innocent, but in or- j ler to prove ttns, we can upon mem to how up this terrible disgrace.
