The counties that elected more

conference did wring as the call was

'Tis a pity that decency can not be
regarded even by politicians. It is
said that Governor Evans has been
beseiged by about ten applicants for
the place of clerk of court, made va
cant by the death of Col. Graham.
Any man who seeks to go to the
constitutional convention by appeal
ing to factional prejudices is no
friend to the people, He is simply
wanting to gratify his ambition and
when that is done he is done.
Watch him!
Often have we urged the building
of some kind of manufacturing in
dustry and as yet uo response has
come. Do our people not see that
we are fast losing a golden oppor
tunity? Are we to let our neighbor
ing towns go on and grow up while
we are standing still? Take the mat
ter of a canning factory; very little
capital is required to put such an
institution in operation, and all that
is necessary, is for those that have
-fnoney to get a little enterprise on
themselves. Some of our neighbor
ing towns have built canning fac
tories and in every instance large
dividends have resulted. We can do
the same, then why don't we?
About all of the counties through
out the State have responded to the
"Forty" call nd the people are
watching the outcome of the confer
ence which meets in Columbia to
day. It is to be hoped that the con
ference will result in solving the
knotty problem now confronting us
and that strife and discussion will be
a thing of the past. There is no
man whohas the welfare of the State
at heart, but what knows that a peo
ple conditioned as we are cannot af
ford to continue quarrelling with
each other, and if the conference to
day will put forth a plan by which
the white people can get together
they will have done a work far-reach
ing in its effects. Any fair-minded
man, be he Reformer or Conserva
tive will w nly put his shoulder to
the wheel to r about a more
kindly feelinig, if the same can be
done without a sacrifice of principle,
and when a fair and just proposition
is made, those kicking against it be
cause their political advancement
might be retarded by it, will and1
should be looked upon as firebrands
feeding upon the passions and preju
dices of men for their individual ad
vancement.
To convince our people that we1
must come together, they need not
go no further than to read the ac
counts of some of our contested elec
tion cases. It is suprising to see the
backing the enemy have. A few
years ago, no white man with a par
tiele of decency, would attempt to
disrupt our State government nor aid
in unseating our representatives in
Congress, but to-day there are white
men, that is, they have white skins,
who for the sake of gratifying petty
spite, would actually aid in unseating
our representatives and put in their
places negroes. As for the class of
men referred to, we are forever
against them, never do we want any
political amiation with such, but there
are thousands of men in the State
who do not belong to our faction
that are also opposed to the negro
alliance and itis to these we must
hold out the olive branch. We are
now passing through a critical period
and white men most band them
selves solidly together or the few de
signing unscrupulous demons, to
gether with an ignorant mass will
again get control of this government
and will make the days prior to 1876
a paradise in comparison.

WA8NGON, March 25.-Although
there is considerable gossip in regard
to the decision of the supreme court on
the income tax case, nothing authentic
can be ascertained. The general im
pression is that the court will be di
vided. It is certain, however, that no

Recoliectins of Potter's EII.
BY RZ. wX. W. MOOD.
The visit of Lieutenant Waterman of
Potter's army in the town of Manning, S.
C., on the afternoon of the 8th April, had
greatly revived our spirits, but the quiet
for a little while after we parted from him
was significant. The negro troops and
their followers from the surrounding
country who had flocked into the town,
had camped in the large open space above
our home, many taking possession of the
very commodious and elegant acadmy
building. It was not entirely completed.
The fires they had kindled in different
places, around which they sat and laughed
and talked presented "a picture." About
this time the stars were shining and the
fires were burning brightly, (at the ex
pense of our fence). I remember a burley
ignorant looking negro came looking
around like all the rest had done. For
from their first entrance there had been
no privacy whatever. They came and
went just as they pleased. There was no
let or hinderance. He was near my bed
looking stupidly at me. These frequent
visits and intent looks, with eyes resting
upon mine, kept me continually dlsturbed
and expectant. I asked this creature,
"where are you from"? -De white mens?
I dunno where da come from, but we col
ored troops, come from all about. Some
of us come from de sea islands." "What
is your General's name?" "Dunno, sar."
"Do you know him?" "Have you ever
talked with him?" "Yes, sar, we all talk
wid him. Ebry soger talk to him." "Do
you like him? Is he kind to you"? "Yes,
sar, he's a good man; he's a Baptist preach
er." This was told me by several others,
and Lieutenant Waterman had heard the
same.
The fires around us had burned low, the
talking and uproarous laugher had quieted,
and for a while, a little while, there was
quiet. Utterly exhausted in mind and
body both Mrs. M. (sitting in the large
rocking chair with the babe in her arms,)
and the writer dozed. The servants too
had sunk down in utter exhaustion upon
the floor; none of us had eaten anything
during this long and eventful day. How
long we slept I don't know, perhaps a half
hour, when I awoke excited. There met
my eyes, standing leaning against the door
facing, a tall light-haired officer, white.
He was in uniform and looked very hand
some. He was smoking a cigar, nearly
consumed, for he took it between his fore
finger and thumb, and spit upon the floor,
puffing the smoke directly into my room.
I spoke at once: "What will you have,
sir?" He did not reply, but taking from
his -vest, which was buttoned up to his
throat with very small brass buttons, a
bit of paper, and reading from it, asked:
"Is that your name?" (I didnot like his
tone, it did not comport with his face. He
was a handsome man.) Ire plied: "Leave
off the y, and you have it." He stepped to
the mantlepiece on which the candle-(ah!
that tallow candle, how Irecall it all) stood,
and holding the paper to it, said: "Yes,
I have it right; (It struck me at once his
not remaining in the room. He returned
to his position just in the door); "that's
your name?" I nodded assent. "Army
scared!" derisively. "The presence of
these negro soldiers have been a terror to
us this whole afternoon." "Why are you
not in the army?" "I serve my country
better out of the army. I could not stand
the wear and tear of a soldier's life."
He threw the stump of the cIgar towards
the fire place, and lighted another from the
candle. While lighting it I observed an
elegant. lashing ring upon one of his
fingers. Hewascareful to return to the
door and not remain in the room. "Have
you ever been in the army?" "No. I have
remained with my family during the war
leaving them only when official duties re
quire me to do so." "What doing?""Preach
ing. I am a minister of the Gospel."
P-r-e---h-i-n-gr he sarcastically drawled
out. I began now to fear him. I was
satisid I adfallen into bad hands and
longed for Lieutenant Waterman to defend
me. His manner implied business. He
puffed his smoke rapidly into the room,
and spit more frequently upon the floor.
I was convinced that he meant to do me
harm. Hlewas arough in United States
uniform.
S"You are army scared. It is an easy
ing to lie in wait, watching for your
enemies; surrender to them; shoot them
down, take a back atreet, come to bed and
say you are sick.' "It was you who shot
down our guard in the street as they rode
into town.', He had became, while utter
ing these short expressions, excited and
puffed his cigar vigoroaisly; knocking off
the ashes with his little finger, and spitting
frequently on the floor. Mrs. M. had now
become aroused, and she pushed her chair
as near to the bed as she could. The two
servants stood as near us they could also.
We were all alarmed. "What is he going
to do?" was in my mind. "It is not worth
while to deny all this that you have charg
ed upon me, for all the town knows that I
have not been out of this bed since Friday,
and that I am sick and have had my physi
ian to see me. It is useless to make this
charg aginst me. You have been misled
"Who has been here to-day?" "I can't
tell~ionly that the yardand house have been
crowded with negro soldiers the entire
afternoon; we were worn out with the con
fusion. We have been intruded upon so
constantly that no opportunity has been
allowed us to prepare food, and all our
cooking utensils have been stolen from us.
I-am innocent, entirely so, of all you say."
"Have any white soldiers been in the
house?" "Yes, the Provost Marshal with
several others were over the house witb
ighted torches just as night set in." "Did
they find anything?" "rhey were after
arms and ammuition; there was hone in the
house." "Was any other white man here?"
"Lieutenant Waterman was here. He
had his tent, he said, near our fence."
"What business had he here?" (saying
this with an ugly emphasis. I was con
vinced that W. was disliked by him.) "I
don't know; but he came in to advise us
how to save our provisions, advising us to
bring it all into this room," pointing to the
meat, lard and rice on the hearth. We
have, however, lost all our corn and fod
der."
"And you took an active part in hang
ing several helpless negroes not long ago
one of them was an old man," He made
,his remark with an increased venom in his
tone. "All this has been reported to us."
We are informed of all this one-sided
>usiuess." "They were hung for no cause,
and had never had a trial, and we are here
to look into it all and straighten it all up."
"There were several, perheps five, negro
men hung here several weeks ago. They
were found with guns in their hands and
when the attempt by the sheriff to arrest
hem was made, he and his posse were fired
upon from ambnsh. This is my reccollec
Lion of this affair. When they were arrested,
hey were tried and hung. "This whole
>untry knows this." "What had you to do
with it, for they tell us your were there?"
"Nothing, only that as a minister cof the
Gospel, 1 Visited them as soon as they were
irrested in prison. This I did every day
snd after their trial. There is nothing that
[have to regret in any of this matter. I did
ll I could for them. It was a sad affair
spon us all." "Did you see them hung?"
"No; I accompanied them on their way to
Lhe place of execution, and when not far
iway, I had prayer with them in the road.'

Lures and singing with them.) They all
Lhanked me for my attentions and my
prayers. and I paited from them feeling
-urry forj the.b-nt the im had b.an violat
ry." He~ be-. gjuidly all I sauid. bolding
is cigar (it was nearly consumed,) in his
ingers. His severity and vexed manner
seemed to be less, and leaning forward, he
raised his voice, saying, emphatically: "I'll
ee you again," and he withdrew down the
back steps as he had entered; at least we
moncluded he had entered the house from
hat direction.
And Dow that this ruffian, for so we took
iim to be, was gone, his last words rung
n our ears, "I'll see you again." He meant
is not to misuuderstand him;he'll certainly
return, but what possibly will be his busi
iess? And we lay anxiously pondering the
ords, "I'll see you again!"

The conference Is to be a momentous
one. Nothing is to be out and dried,
but the idea is to have a full and free
discussion of the situation, viewed from
all possible standpoints. This is shown
by the Invitation to the leaders of all
factions of white people in the state.
Twenty-nine out of the thirty-five
counties in the state are certain to be
represented. One county, Chesterfield,
has refused to send delegates, and so
far as can be ascertained, no action
whatever towards sending delegates
has been taken in the counties of Barn
well, Beaufort, Berkeley, Colleton and
Orsngeburg. In Newberry, Charles
ton, Hampton,Lexington and William'
burg, meetings were to be held Mon
day to elect delegates.

The volume of business through clearing
houses gains a little, being 14.1 per cent larger
than last year, for the week, but 32.1 per cent
less than for M3. Most of the increase is at
Now York. and here and elsewhere partly due C
to active speculation. Bankers report a decid- t
ed decrease in commercial paper offered and
Western banks give evidence of a larger de
mand by reducing balances here.
Failures during the week have been 278 in
the United States against 244 last year, and 36
in Canada against 50 last year.

EXODUS OF NEGROES
Senator Morgan Expresses His
Views on the Subject.
[ALKS FROM A SOUTHERN STANDPOINT
Ee Believes the Blacks Are Anxious to
to Emigrae and That the Whites
Want Them to Go-The Sen
ator's Opinion.
WAsHINGTON, March 25. - Senator
!forgan, of Alabama, thinks the pres
mt exodus of negroes from the south
o Africa will increase rapidly in pro
yortions, and he believes that the
ime will soon come when the govern
nent of the United States will take the
natter up officially and aid in their de
ortation. In discussing the question,
se said:
Africa is the natural home of the negro, and
6 majority of them desire to return to that
ountry. They cannot well be blamed for en
ertaining that wish. for there is nothing in
his or any other white man's country for the
Lfrican race. Suflicient time has elapsed since
he slaves were emancipated to demonstrate
he white man's superiority in all the walks of
life, and my observation is that most of the
egroes are convinced already If they remain
aere they will always occupy inferior
iositions and continue as of old to be little
aore than servants.
It has been. I know, asserted that the ne
roes of this country do not want to emigrate,
iut the contrary is true. It is probably a fact
hat some of those who live in cities prefer to
emain in this country. and this. I think. is
specially true of mulattoes: but the large
iajority of the country blacks want to .:et
way, and the only thing which holds them
A re is their ignorance of the means of de
erture and their inability to pay thier pas
age. I belleve that if the means for their
ransportation could be furnished gratis, a
ilion and a half of negrocs could be trans
orted to Africa in the next twelve months.
Senator Morgan also asserted that a
arge majority of the white population
a the south would prefer to have the
rgroes go. He said:
It is certain that many of the planters, the
wners of large plnntations, prefer to iave
tem remain for the reason that they favor
Leir labor in comparison with a certain class
f whites, but this element is in the minority,
nd the poorer whites and the professional
lasses In the south prefer to have the negroes
ont away. The poor man does not want their
ompetition, and all classes object to negro
quality in political affairs. as all feel that
ey stand directly in the way of securing a
:.ore desirable class of residents, by prevent
:g immigration. Furthermore, it is not true,
i it seems to be suppsed, that only negroes
im do the labor in the southern states an as
rtion which is substantiated by the fact that
lie cotton crop of this country has increased
rom a little over three million bales before
ite war to nine million bales.
The senator expressed the opinion
hat congresswould take the problem
f exporting the negroes in hand at no
istant day. and said he expected that
rithin the next three or four years the
-overnment would be found providing
ieans for their transportation.
