I -A good plan to es Ich the cotton thieves, who make it a practice to Visit cotton fields in the night, pick. What the}' can. and carry it to the nearest store and there sell it for rot gut whiskey ami coper as, and molds- j ees, pressed into refuse tobacco leaves, ' would be for every planter, who has bands working on his place, to give to the shop keepers their names, the terms upon which they aie employed, etc. By these means, the bosses of country stores would know the standing of a:l the men in their neigh borhood, and whether, when any of them offered them cotton for sale, it was theirs or not. Jt is not likely that a man who has no crop of his own would be found selling any other than stolen seed cotton, Furnish the thop keepers with the proper informa tion, and then if they continue to buy, there is a way to make them dance for it. If by the grace of God one of them should get before Judge Heed, he'll wish that hi bad never turned a cotton sack "inside out to get the last lock.'1 Disfranchised. The Democratic platform proposes to recognize and acce nt albthn ?Mjr^jri? men IS io~llio"" i* cdernl Constitution. The political freedom of all men is commented upon and acknowledged in that instrument. It calls for all honest men, of whalevcr political faith, to tako sides with the Demo crnts, in their struggle to obtain pos session of the government. It is not , even required that a man shall change his politics to become a mem her of the Democratic party. "Come in," they say, "and we will protect you." Is'ovr let us sj-e how the Democrats propose to deal with Republicans,? those, for instance, who wiDgoover to them. At the meeting of the Democratic club of this Precinct, held at Engine Hall, on Monday night last, a rrsolu lion was passed unanimously and with "vociferous cheering," declaring it to be the intention of the Democracy to nominate for office "none but straight outs," and that "no man be placed upon- the ticket who had held oflice under Hi a Had teal government as a Republican.'" As the only accessions of note to the Ochlocracy from Mis Republican parly, arc generally of Ihat class of < x-oflicehbhlers who are politically dead with us, the resolution of the Orange Democratic club does not cause much sorrow in our midst. Was it nur-, though, athiustunde: tho rilis to those honest. Republicans who changed their pifUhnl member ship from 'the broad and Catholic organization ofthc Republican party {<> 11 to pr iscriptivc roll of the Demo cr<i<y? We offer Democrats better forms then tl ose. They can join our party as :ini:>y as have nunind to, and we ni-suro" ilfcm that we shall pass no rt solutions placing them - at n<disad vantage in our tanks. The disfranchising resolution pass < d by the ()raug;> Dew or ratio (dub on the !i7lii of August, A. I). iRT's will be duly considered by Republicans. It will revive and strengthen innuy a weak kneed fellow in our party? mennlInn*', the gunge of battle bus bem niriingcd,bv the Democrats, and the leaders of our party will govern themselves nccordiiig1 v. Senator I'tUterson hus been invited to stump the Stale of Maine. He will piohubly' sVeei-pt the invitation. Blen vs. Honey. "At tl?is time South Carolina hati not a .single Democratic Congressman, not one representative of the sixty thousand 'whites who possess the bulk of the property."-"-AVtcs nnd L'?Uricr. J And what of it? Is it property or men who should vote and rule, ac cording to the principles of free government.? If 'fifty c?ltfrod men ?own tho Irfnd in an entire county, and rent it to five thousand tenants, which have the best right to olect the coiicty's representatives to the Legisla ture, the filty landlords or their five thousand tenants? Mr. Vanderbilt'a property m csfianpJted "to bo worth from $30,000,000 to $1 OO,-0"9O;O()O, ami 'either sum is far greater than the entire taxable property in one Con gressional district. But if Mr. Van det bilt ever supposed that ho should be permitted to aeud several repre sentatives of Cougress, he was too sensible to express his opinion. How 1idiculnus would the property-owners of Charleston appear if they were to announce .publicly that infatttrc they would deny -t-hc right of men who do mot own property to vote an they plcasctL Neither Federal noT State ?constitutions recognize any distifiction between rich and poor men at the polls and it is the hoight of folly for the Chnr'cstou Mews and Courier to arrogate the property owners of South Carolina any political superiority over those who do not. The rulo of a class of men elected to power on account of their wealth, solely, has always been marked by its selfishness rather than by true statcamanahip. Washington, Hamilton, Adams, and Franklin, without a dollar in their purses, were of far greater worth and honor to the State than a legion of rich men, whose highest aim, like that of the crowd at Athena, ia to buy cheap and sell dear. Shifted Again. Speaking of the coming election lor Governor, the Neics and Courier of Monday last, snid editorially: "The niofit prominent as Well as the most available candidate, or course, is G o rcrnor CIi a m berla in. The Shifter supports Hampton but bets on Chamberlain. - .i-----M:m]ini-i? - A company of United States sol fliers has been stationed nt lilack v lU? - -jSv _ r j-i - - most quiet county in the State since tho war; but we suppose that if any attempt nt intimidation is made here, the United Slates marshal will not be slow in ordeiing a number of''the boys in blue" to Orangcburg. Wal lace is in for free speech and we opine will pee to it that that law is observed in this State. Wo recommend men of both parties to moderation and prudence. A while back the Columbia Union Herald, the nursling of the South Carolina Treasurer, exclaimed that the Centennial Liar had brook loose again, whereupon a brother quill driver hinted that he was not aware of the fact that the Cuhn-Tlerald mau had temporarily suspended. In these partH we never noticed any suspen sion ciJhcr. The needfuls hrtve been turned sut daily with1 unirevfa ting exactitude: Gov. Chamberlain nas issued a proclamation announcing his inten* tion to appoint throe Commissioners of election in each county of the State: and in order that each politi cal party shall be fairly represented, he proposes to appoint on each board two Republicans and ono Democrat. And in till cases he will endeavor to appoint fair minded and just men. One thing we are obliged to notice, viz: t hat our friends in the conven tion, sopped up every ollice, them selves?didn't leave a crumb of nn ollice for nil outsider! We don't tlii:i-k- this exactly fair, because being invited to the dinner it don't look right for'our Hosts to eat all up, and have lilcir gilt sis tlie privilege of washing the dishes. Now if there is a man in the world who wants an-office it is the senior editor of *4?is- paper? and expected it, loo. No one as yet has invited him to run as ritt' inde pendent candidate, but we '.fill meet any committc: on that subject with tmen arms. The county ollices are still optii to competition?We would like the office of coroner, until after the election, if we can do no better. ? Mar$ff*?r? Plaut*? r, '1 he above is from the pen of C. W.

V; C. A Financl er Arrested Ex-Governor Robert K. Scott, of South Carolina, a few days ngo ap plied to Judge Douohue for orders of arrest in two suits against ilardy Solomon, late president of the South Carolina bank of Columbias. He charges in one action that about Juno 14, 187" 3, Safoin'off borrowed ?5,000, aud gave him as a' collateral a certi ficate of deposit in the bank of which ho was president. The complaint charges that Solomon fraudulently managed the bank so as to render the certificates worthless; that ho dis posed Of $100,000 stock he had in the bank to the corporation, tlreiv as prc3i dent closed the bank and had a receiver appointed, and that, in consc quenec of such action, wilfully taken, the defendant was cnablod to scerets his money where his creditors could not reach it. The papers in1 tlib second action charge that on the loth' of December, 1875, Solomon secured the loan of 858,500 consolidated South Carolina bonds of the valuo of $12,350, to be returned in mrty days, it l>eing dis tinctly agreed' that the tittle to said bonds should remain in the plaintiff, but that" the defendant could hypo thceato them, The charge is made that he converted the bonds to his own use for tin; purpose of secreting his money from his creditors. Mr. Solomon was arrested yesterday by City Marshal 1*. J. llanbury on his return from Saratoga to this city. The defendant was admitted to bail in $'20,000, E. B.

Wagner. GcuernI John A. Wagen er died ou Sunday at Walhalla, S. C. He was born in Sievern, in the Kingdom of Hanover, in 1816. He emigrated to this country in 1831, and shortly | afterwards settled in Charleston. General Wagenbr was a prominent nnd useful citizen, and his death at this time is a great loss to our State. Our Charleston cotcmpornMcs pay deserved tributes to hia private worth and public enterprise. In 1848 he founded tho present thriving and prosperous town of Walhalla. He was the founder and President of the German Fire Insurance Company of Charleston; he organized the German Fire Fngine Company; he organized tho congregation of the German Lutheran Church of Charleston, und several Masonic Lodges. Ho was prominontly identified with the sever al societies of his fellow-countrymen. During the war, he entered the ser vice of the State as Captain of A'rtil I lcry and was promoted Major, Lieu I tenant Colo hoi. After tho war he ! was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 18G5, and an influcn [ tial member of the State Legislature. Ho was elected Mayor of Charleston in 1871 by a handsome majority. Gen. Wag en er was elected a dele gate to the St. Louis Convention, and was recently honored by the Democ racy as an elector at large for Tilden aud Hendricks, being elected to the last position by' the unanimous voice of the Convention. For a number of years be edited tbo Zeituwj, and "his nctivo brain, from early manhood up, wna ever at work devising ways and menns for calling into being institu tions that had for their object the good of his follow-countrymen, aud of the city and State of bis adoption.''* His monuments ia Charleston aud South Carolina are many. In tho lnngungo of tho AW* and Courier, "Gen. Wagener had strong convic tions, aud was not unfrequently very tenacious in supporting nnd carrying them out. Jh this way he often an tagonized proj?dicc.1 nttd alienated thoso who had been his supporters; yet it has b^cn the fortune of few men in public life to have won and kept to tho last so largo a following of warm steadfast personal friends. [There was about him a magnetism that! sccnictl to Sin hip hint as an Agamemon?a king of men. In him Charleston has lost on a of her most active and useful citizens, and South Carolina a faithful and clcv ted son.' .A. Card..
