The Seitlinel of last week denies that

bar county officers the sum of one hun
dred dollars, if be would give bis print,
lag tp ibii Sentinel. Wc reittcrate the
Charge. The editor of the Sentinel ap>
preached Qapt. J. W. Lancaster, Sheriff
of Barnwell county,, with the following
proposition: • “I will give you orm hun
dred dollar*” or ,‘*I will allow you a
chance to make one hundred dollars if
• . v'*V r - v *y v ^ r » % ^
' you will give your printing to my puper.”
'The editor of the Sentinel afterwards ac
knowledged to F. M. Mixsou, Esq., that
he did offer to pay Copt, J. W. Ijanoas/
ter one huudfST ‘‘dollars if he, Capt.
Lancaster, would givs his printing to the

racity between the Sheriff BnrnAyell

, If anything were needed to show the
utter rottenness of the Republican party
wo coaki not rely cn stronger evidence
than on- the letters published herein.
They were pet written ty the rank and
file of the party but by it* leading light*—
the cream of B<iphbltcanism. They ore
endorsements of the veriest set of villains
that ever disgraced any order of civilizat
tion. Of this we now have the unani-
nous verdict of the Republican leaders
themselves. ‘
The first contains the ful 1 text of John
Sherman’s famous epistle to Weber ami
t Anderson, the authorship of which Sher
man has not dared individually to deny
^but bos left that task to the unscrupu-
fous Mrs. Jeoks. It is os follows :
“Now Oataujw, Nov. ao, lyte.-Messrs.
. D. A. Weber and James E. Anderson—Oen-
Uemen: 5iour note of even dabt has just

eountry si larxe, oao ever forgot the obli-
Usi ions under whfeh you have placed ue
should you stand firm iq the position you
i 'have taken. From slonirand intimate ao-
qualntance with Governor Hayes, I am

of March os may b« practical, and in such
manner as Will enable you both to leave
Loaifll&ua should you deem It necessary
mim*?- ' truly yours,
•/ -V M JOBX BBKltltAM.” |
The next two are from President
t^ayes himself in the interests of L. G.
I)cnni« (any relation we wonder of car
pet-bag Dennif of Columbia?) eharuo-
toraed by the Republicans as “a daj/er.
Ate kind qf tcoundnl." They ore as fol
lows :
*1 particularly desire that Mr. L.G.
, of Florida, shall be appointed to
* the first suitable (changed. afterward to
spod) place, and I think he is well), fitted
■safe, for it '-gju . # R'lk Haarae.’

The following resolution, introduced
by Mr. James Thomson of BlnekriHc
was adopted:
Whereas in the opinion of the Demo
cratic County Conventioh of Barnwell
county, held this 15th day of'July, J878,

State Conventions in proportion to the

the — day of August, 1K7S, do submit
to said Convention, with suitable pream

Resolved, That hereafter all State
Conventions of the Demociatie party of
South Carolina shall be composed of dele
gates from the several counties appor
tioned among themi in proportion to the

Mr. Editor : The question “Who
shall wc send to the Legislature ?’’ is the
topic of the hour, and is being freely
discussed. In all modesty, I would like
to make a few suggestions which occur,
to me as bein
which, ns
scarcely afford to neglect.
The term “Representative” is a very
significant one: infer nliu. Webster
gives the tv\o following definitions:
‘•'Fitted to represent, '‘eahibitinj lilt^
nestwhile, us a noun, it is “one acting j
for another. ” Now, as “like'unerringly
begets like,’’ our General Assembly will
inevitably be composed of .representative
Representatives, that is to suy, of Repre
sentatives exhibiting a likeness to those
who sent them there, e.ntl the more
thoroughly their characters assimilate 4o
our own the more completely will they
be " fitted to represent” us. So the world
will judge, and not inaptly, both us and
theta.
. The Lighei; the respect then we enter
tain for <yir reputation abroad as a God
fearing, moral, and intelligent people, the
highei will be the gnidg, in these three
particulars, of our Mouse of Rcpre^nta
lives; and, as a logical sequence, the
purer will be our laws, the more whole
some will becomaibc tone of our socie
ty, and, proportionably, the more intelli
gent and happy will be tbo people. But
on the other hand, if we have become an
irreligious, immoral, Vicious and*igno-
ront people, we will show it to the world
through the medium of qur Rcprcsenta
five*, we will seal our own disgrace,
cqmpa&} our own ruin, and our children
and our children’s children, dutifully
copying from the models kc have setup,
“like begetting like,” will gradually sink
down below contempt.
It appears to me that the great need
of the time is good men and intelligent
men ; men gootl enough to fear God and
bate vice, and intelligciitcnough to rei-’
cognise, the fact that the largest propor-
fion of our publfrtronlifts spring from
ignorance. We already have a supera
bundance of laws.' It would be very
to its people, and a disgrace to th* State,
and the people have a right to demand
citlmr the eutiro abrogation of the public.

school law, or the creation of a .system
that shall ensure to tlic people something
like substantial cdueatiorfilj advantages.
No people, as ignorant fts the mass of
our people is .now, is seonre in the pos
session of its liberties, its privileges or
its rights. A few unpriuc’pled, nmbi
tious demagogues may, at tiny time, by
flattery, a display of glittering but empty
talents, and shrewd, artful combinations,
draw them into a bottomless pit. lyno-
ranee is flic xfioeny that .destroys the lie-
l>ulUcon aj>fle. The people, in a Re
public, ore the sovereign rulers t they
-s very important, apd
a sensible people, we can
rule through their Representatives, and,
as an ignorant, weak monarch has often
found in his minister a Nemesis, in the
Shaj e of a usurper, a tyrant, or a para
site crushing him in its toils, so the peo
ple of a Republic, ruling by their Repre
sentatives, have but two roads open to
them, their Representatives leading.
One road to happiness, prosperity and
pc^ce, or *. V slavery, poverfy and vice.
The education of the people is the vi
tal question of the hour. No man should
be sent to^ the Legislatikre who does not
so regard it, who does not consider it
paramount to every other consideration,
and wlio will not pledge himself to de
mand a thorough consideration fur it.
The whole matter lies in a nut-shell. A
public school system that will keep the
schools open long chough to impart in-
stmetron, a remunerative pay for the
teacher who devotes himself intelligently
to bij calling that will eneoutage and se
cure an efficient staff of teachers in every
county, and a unifqnu scale of iustiue■
tion. This, or no public school system
at all—but remand the‘people back to
their own resources and Independent

NI k. Editor: While 1 do not pro
fess to be a politician, yet believe it to be
the duty of every good citizen to give his
opinion upon matters of public interest
to the State and county in which he
lives, and now that the colored men
have been fa vend !v impressed by the
libs^Fftltpulic) ..e e 1 tbem by our Chief
Magistrate, t >- .leh for liberal polhi-
cal conswbjNie} sentiment- and integrity
ol character. Let us learn a lesson here,
this is the key note to the'solution of
the problem involving the c lured vote.
This question of the best manner oFicon
trolling this vote is a question with
which the democracy of the South will
have to contend at a very early day, and
every step made towards adjusting it
sliquld be made with ..deliberation and
caution. The colored men are ^citizens
and voters in our country tluugU they
are ignorant. These facts tve cannot
help. They must be fairly dealt with
by the Democracy ; any other course will
fail to do away with the prejudice width
now exists and unite them with us ,n
.furtherance of peace ant] good govern-
nuent. Wo arc bound to acknowledge
the c-t lored men our political equals,
made so by “the powers that be” in out
nation and State where our destinies are
cast, and we cannot annul or change
them if we would while the colored man
holds the balance qf power as he now
does in many of the counties. The white
man should not ignore his rote. If he
does it is at the peril c( his own interest
and that of our common country. With
these facts being true it becomes a ques
tion of no common, interest how wc
should place ourselves politically with
the negro so as to Control and direct the
influence of. his vote., We-certaialy car
not do it by standing aloof and
him to the manipulation of unxer
and cunning politicians, ecjL’vags
carpet-baggers. We must a$>i.ine a
sition that will enable us tq brin£.our sa-
perior intelligence in contact with the ig
norant voter and thus iMbrc readily com
trol it, and there can be no better time
than the present to take this position that
it may have on influence in Ihe coming
election. I am of the opinion that Ab
beville and Greenville counties have
adopted the true and wise policy, for if
the Democracy should cast off and dis-
t»y the Wushlnsion Artillery.
At .a special meeting tho Wash

Qualification No. 1: Wisdom. Y«Te
want wise rather than knowing men.
Many of our most knowing men nre
our greatest fools, and. conversely,
many who Jtnow comparatively little
are our wisest nrem Our legislators
need knowledge, indeed, it isindespen-
sable, but without wisdom it is practi
cally useless. Knowledge is like brick
pd mortar aud lumber—-wisdom is
ke the completed house. We. must
have the former, but they will never
protect us fivra the weather until tho
rehltect evolves a house from them.
It may be asked, what is wisdom on
the part of a legislator? I answer, in
seeing what is needed on the part *of
the people, and then what is tho best
means to be used in obtaining it for
them. By best, I do^notmean in tho
sen«»e, will it pay ? - for wisdom never
asks that question, only to prevent us
from attempting the impossible. This
question, will it pay ? may do for a
corrupt aud dishonest Radical legisla
tor, but never for what the name Dem-
woya Iocs imply ao^hoiKWikbUv^u t h-
ful, brave *nd sincere legislator, and !
am sorry to say >o*t here,* that too
tnueh of ibis “wiUjit pay’*Fbas ewayed

•o-cailed Democratic , legislator*.

of our comiibo oqucfty!* p*ace,
when our legislaton consider the in
terests of the people, but)* never safe

committed such horrors- have in the
time to come, when they pro no longer

raitted tiiia horrible mixture of parri
cide or matrici.le and cannibalism
calmly turn again to tho decent work
of life, ns it he were not corrupt In all
his limbs and all his memory too?
Such fius are the origin of long trails
of transmitted uncleanneSs, which
threaten posterity as fearfully as they
threaten the society in which they hap
pen. Of course, we do not mean that
in a society wERdi is both heathen and
per sihly at least almost incapable of

ories and associations will traneruit
quite tbo same fopl taint that they
would in a Christian country. EUt al
low what you will for this, and the
prospect is still fearful enough. The
man who cannot free himself from the
memory of such unnatural crimes
xhicb will appear to cleave to his very
body au wwll as his aojil, can never
jeAd » quiet natural life again, or even
transmit to his children, if he should
have them, a nature free from a cer

starvation is little, compared with the
moral misery of a race perpetuated by
