“Upon all Public and General Q,uestione
the People Ever are in tho Risht.”—
William Uenry Drayton in 17715-
Tins utterance by one of South Caro
lina's most gifted and earnest patriots,
prior to the signing of th - declaration of
independence, conveyed at that time a com
prehensive and aggressive idea pf political
and personal liberty. A century of sue
eessful Republican government by an Anglo
iSaxcn race has converted this advanced
theory into a fundamental principle of Re
publican government and a po!iiical axiom
of as undeniable truth as any laid down in
Euclid. The people both in theory and in
practice are the actual sovereigns in this
country. Their will may sometimes be
circumvented by the skillful manifestations
of cliques and associations upon the weak
chords of human nature, but as sure as the
night succeeds the day just so sure will the
reaction inevitably come which will sweep
a tv ay and utterly annihilate the peripatetic
intiucnce of those who have deceived or
overthrowu them The very essencp of Re
publican goyernment, as founded on De
mocracy, may be expressed i i one short
phrase viz. “the rule of the people.”
This of course does not aypiy when a re
public is built upon an' aristocracy like
Venice and Genoa for such governments
soon dwindle into oligarchy and finally ex
pire in the arms of monarchy.
The “rule of the people” or in other
words a Democrat ip Republic, in spite of
all the argument that jealousy can hurl
against it, is beyond a doubt - the most dir
vine inspiration of Qod to man on the sub
ject of government, affording more personal
and political liberty than any other mode
of government ever designed for the con
trol and happiness of meek humanity. If
then the “rule of the people” is sucli an
important integer in the structure ol oust
governmental svstem, why is it that
cliques and small politicians arc continually
striving to circumvent or evade this true
source of all power? Why is it necessary
that the Democratic party of <L;s State
should have recourse to conventions to
nominate candidate" when the people, the
constituent imits of tiie paify, are the true
and only power, and have an inalienable
right to indicate directly by their ballots
who they wish as public servants? Is it
net reasonable to suppose that a compa: n-
tivcly small body of men like a county con
vention is more easily operated on by un
due influences than the people at large
when exercising individually their rijjht of
suffrage ? Is it not probable that the heat
and excitement engendered in the mind of
an unsuccessful aspirant before a comity
convention, is more apt to break out into
the .fires of discord, than if the decision
was rende ed by the united ballots of the
rank and file of the party? The people
will be called upon in the near future to
choose their public servants for another
two years and .ve caution the people, the
Democratic people of this splendid young
county, to stand fast in their ranks, and
i r.t to delegate she power of nominating
party candidates to a convention when they
can do it more efficiently them.-e’.ves by the

LETTER JPPTODS.
Editok Aikejj Journal.—We hove few
newspapers out here and' do not know much
of what is going on, buft we learn with a
little feeling of dismay that our Legislature
has met again for the thin} time in less
than a year. It js *iou v tles» all right but
we remember with satisfaction the thirty
days sessions and three dollars pev diem of
other days, and we still have faitli in the
motto of a newspaper published in the old-
times in this county declaring “the best
government is that which governs least,”
and we feel now ns if we do not want one
cents worth more of govemm >nt than we
cau possibly do without. We therefore
hope and trust our distinguished members
of the legislature will push their investiga
tions to a close with Hie least delay com
patible with the public good. And all this,
the more on account of thr great tidal wave
of investigation that threatens to cugulph
all the oocnpitions of this country, a wave
that set in with the Beecher investigation
and which excited our disgust long before
the United States Senatorial Committee in
terrogated our domestics concerning onr
remarks r.t our dinner tables in regard to
the Ellcntnn affair. It is true 1 have made
an effort to conquer my repugnance to their
investigations ns far as regards the matter
of the^^blic de* t, but my opportunities
for getting information are so limited that
I cannot form tiny opinion about it, and i
wish to state my case to you to ask if there
is any hope of my getting relief in ease the
legislature succeed in ordering the payment
of the old debt dollar for dollar in gold.
My unde, although not a rich man, in 18til
gave $1,000 in gold for a bond of the State
Carolina, he went into the State militia and
was kitlcl in the Stony Hill fight. At his
sale in 1800 l paid §700 in greenbacks for
the bond. 1 also bought a small farm at
the same time and went to work to do my
best to n ake a living foi my large and
growing family. Now whep the bayonet
government took possession of the State
you know how badly everything went. In
a word niy help stole everything from me
and there was no law whatever to convict a
thief. At last my place was advertised by
the tax collector ami as the only means of
raising money 1 had to sell bond. No
body seemed tc want it, I ut after somo de
lay a broker got rid of it for me for §400,
He .'aid he sold It to one of our wealthiest
carpet bag statesmen who being flush of
money was pilling to pay a little more for
a thine than its market value. Now this
was very hard qn pie and harder still on
the orphan children of my uncle, pho had
not only spent his money for the Slate hut
had also laid dpwu his life in her defence.
What I want to know is does the legislature
propose in paying these old bonds dollar
for dollar, to pay me back the three hun
dred dollars I loot and my uncle’s family
the three hundred dollars he lost, if so it is
no more than just and proper. But if they
mean to give that wealthy carpet bagger
who now holds that bond a bonus of §000
on his repudiation and rascality and as a
reward for all the ruin and misery he has
wrought to me and mine I shall never con
sent to it; but 1 will always denounce it as
the crowning outrage of all that I have suf
fered. Please satisfy ua by an answer

the Committee on the Judiciary have agreed
to bear the representatives of the holders
of the bills of the Bank of the Slate on Sat-
turday the 19th inst. Them seems to be a
general desire that something should be
done at this session to remove the danger
of embarrassment and confusion to the fi
nances which would result from the tender
of these hills for taxes, and as these bills
are an ante bel’.iini obligation and are not
affected by any taint of Radicalism, there
is a general disposition to provide for them
without further delay in some way consis
tent with the interest of the State.
^SEIZED BY
Victor Hugo’s Thrilling Fiction Para-
jelled in Real Life,
The “Augusta Evening Ncwb” says:
“Early last summer a party of Capo Flat
tery of Makajy Indians, returning fiom a
visit to their friends, the Songish, of Vic
toria, encamped the first afternoon out on
the beautiful Bay of Metchosen, V. I. The
weather being very fine, most of the party
went bathmg, and among the number a
maiden of perhaps eighteen snniiners, who
had accompanied her grandfather on the
trip Dcsiiing seclusion, she went round a
point away from the other bathers, a d,
being known as a bold swimmer, is sup
posed to have taken a header into deep
water. However taken, it proved to have
been a plunge into the arms of death, for
when the swimmers reassembled around
the camp fire the girl was missed, and, not
withstanding a diligent search that even
ing. could not be found. The following
moruing, with sad hearts, the party left;
but very soon those in the fo'emost canoe,
fin rouuuipg the first point, saw (the water
being oalm and clear) a hitman body as if
sealed on the sandy sea bottom, with what
soerr.c i like a flour bag immediately behind
it. The natives knew what this meant
As soor. as the canoes got logether, two of
the most active young men managed with
daggers to disable (he monster (for it
was a gigantic devil fish) that the octopus
with its victim was brought to tho surface,
The loregoiug facts have been communi
cated to our informant by an intelligent
mid respectable halt breed woman from
Metchosen. who saw the body of the drown
ed girl with so.'-ie of the- prehensiies of the
tnoliisk ili adhering io it. .81ie compared
the head of the octopus in size to that of a
fifty pound flour sack, full; and said that
the tentacles were twelve in number, of
different sizes, and the largest about the
circumference of a man’s arni.

A PERFECTED COTTON HARVESTER.
Mr. C. R. Smith, of Raleigh, N. C., has
invent]* 1 and patented a cotton picker
winch promises to work a revolution in the
harvesting of cottop, and it is said will do
tiie work of one hundred laborers in the
field. The machine is about the size and
weight of a two-horse wagon, and is upon
three wheels, the centre .one running be
tween two rows and the other two outside
of them. The two driving wheels from
which is worked the machinery, are high
enough to carry everything above the cot
ton. The front wheel is about half the
height, and worlds under the machine on a
pivot joint, to which arc attached the
horses, which walk between the rows. The
picking machinery consists of two hundred
finger shaped cards on jndia-rubbe 1 , work
ing up and down through the stalks as the
machine advances These cards will not
take holt) of anything but the lint of tho
open cotton, and lakes that whether it is
upon the ground or (he top of tlje stalk.
Leaves, twigs and hulls, will not stick to
them, but the cotton touched ip ever so
small a degree iusfantly adheres, and
not l«t go until brushed off at the lop by ;i
brusher, wh nee it is taken on an apron of
bands and deposited in a receptacle to the
rear in a light straight form, entirely free
from dirt. The whole machine is reduced
to iis lowest simplicity, has adjustable
parts, is very durable and easily managed.
The driver by leaning back in bjs s*)! 1 con
stop the picking in order jo drive to the
place of deposit and unload. This is done
without throwing the wheels out of gear.
The harvester is estimated to pick out the
cotton at the cost of one dollar per bale,
and in every way is a complete machine,
as has been proved by practical use Mr.
Smith proposes introducing his machine as
thoroughly practicable i'er the ensuing
crop, and to this end will sell it in each of
(he pottqn States aj manufacturer’s cost,
$200, so as to establish its worth, although
$300 is the price. Or the patentee will sell
in whole or in part his invention, taking a
"mall D- r cent. iu. cash with the balance to
he made on* of the machine.

When the editor had read it he said:
“Oh, 1 sen; an udveitisement.”
“No; not an advertisement. We prefer to
have it go iu tho local column,” replied the
manager.
And seeing that (he editor Iqqked scepti
cal, he continued:
“ It will interest a great many of your
readers and help a good cause , besides, we
have snent so much money getting up our
cutcrtaiununt that we can’t afl’ord to ad

by sending a biiIts notice in your church

The visiting brother asked what notice,
and the editor wrote and handed him the
following :
“ The ‘ Weekly Chronicle’ for the coming
year will be the best and cheapest family
paper in Maine. Iis proprietor has had
much experience, and has all tiie helps
which a large outlay of money can procure.
His paper has a larger circulation than any
ether published in the country, and is t j
be furnished at only $2. It is certain that
no one can spend that amount to a better
advantage. Be sure t j take the ‘ Chronicle,*
and subscribe for your friends.”
The manager hemmed and hesitated, and
then said, sclemnly, that he doubted
whether it would be judicious to read such
a notice, but suggested that if it was printed
copies might be distributed at the door of
the vestry, on the evening of the entertain-
j es,' -aid the editor, “but it would
attract more atieuv:..,, in tin. middle of a
