'rIIE Nrts AND HEaALD is aware o
the fact that 'Oovernior Stone o
Mississippi says that no one justifies
the Kemiper trag'edy. Neither dc
we justify it. Neither does an;
good citizen justify any murder. I
was a 'crime of an aggravate(
nature, deserving of severe punish
- mont at the hands of - the court of
Kemper county. We do object tc
treating it in a inanner such as to
indicate a belief that the wholt
South is responsible for it., and must
'hasten to denounce it for fear of
having to shoulder the responsibili
ty. Still more do wo reprehend the
dishing up of the tragedy in a high
ly sensational style, with a plentiful
:garnishing of details, having allathc
'ppearance of exaggeration.
Governor Stone apparently per.
formed his whole duty in repairing
immediately to the scene of the
oc 3urrence. Ho found everythiing
quiet. There was no pretext fom
executive interference. The pro
siding judge promised to hold an
extra term of court to try the mur
derers. What cause existed for i
howl from the Northern press
None. They should therefore have
been simply told to mind their
'business, and hang their own cut
'throats and assassins. Mississippi
can take care of herself ; and it
should he presuimed that she will
-punish crime until she has shown
'thai :he will not. Time enough
then to vilify her. That is tfh<
position of TiE NEWS AND IIEaALD.
An election for Probate Judge of
Richland comnty takes place to.day.
The Democratic candidate is Andrew
Crawford, Esq., a. young member of
,the Columbia bar. This is an ad
mirablo selection. Mr. Crawford
has the qualities requisite for n
first class officer. The Radicals at
-first nominated Mr. B. I. Boone, but
he refused to accept the nomination.
They then fell upon that chronic
-office -seekor, Warren R. Marshal],
so well -known to the people of
-Fairfield. We should have thought
that it required a greater amount o.
cheek than even Marshall possesses
to leave our county after losing al.
hope of obtaining office init, and tc
offer as a candidaite in anothoi
-county before getting a seat well
warm in'it. Since Whittemore left,
Marshall is ,the champion carpet
bagger of the State. He doubtless
thought he sawv a good thing ir
Rlichland, but he has failed. Th(
Radicals, discovering that he is noi
a citizen of Richland county, with.
drew his name, and deternined t(
run no candidate. The race is nov
betweoen Mr. Crawford and a Captair
Di xon, an "indoependent" candidat<
'of the "workingmen." If th<
Demecmaoy of Rlichland do thein
best, they wvill crush Mr. Dixon5
taspirations, and thus teach a lessor
to all "independent" cand(1idaltes

&A Demooratie Love Feast.
:Four years ago, President Gran
hhnd'juset-ontered upon his secon<
term. .The Democratic par'ty, iude
*thie lead of Horace Grooloy, had sui
fored disastrous defeat, andl wa
- completely domnoralized, shattered,
. gone. Its funer'al sormon had bmeer
preached by throo.-fourths of th
newspapers through the land, it
requiem was chanted in every politi
'cal gathering. But suddenly cami
the tidings of a great meeting ai
'the Manhattan-Club in Now York
'The leading Democrats of the coun
.try colecd there, and over table
groaning with delicacies, and <bo
-twoon tho popping of ehampagn<
'eorks.;gave again the hand of follow
iship .and ;pledgod .themselves t<
,renewed effort. WVho -meeting ,was

a cartoon in H!arper's Wekly rep
resenting the Democrats as skole -
tons in swallow-tailed coats, gibber
ing and chattering and grinning
over their sumptuous feast. But
the result of that feast was the
tidal wave of 1874, and the Demo
cratic triumph at the polls in 187(.
Manhattan Club gave another
feast on the evening of the twelfth
instant, and all the swallow. tailed
and short- haired Democracy were
present. Tilden, Hendricks. Itobin,
son. ])orsheiner, Ingersoll, Parke
Godwin, Dana, of the Sun. Clymer,
Tarbox, Senators Kernan, Ihn(lolph.
McDonald and McPherson, Erast us
Brooks, Roger A. Pryor, Oswald
Ottenlorfer. David Dudley Field,
Chief Justice Curtis, Governor
Bedle of New Jersey, and a host of
lesser lights were pre:sent. Mr.
Tilden spoke for the first time since
he was cheated out of the presi
dleney. His trum1pet gave forth no
uncertain sound, and he showed
that he had lost nothing of the
vigor and acumen which had so
eminently distinguished 1im
throughout the campaign. His
deninciation of the great wrong
p:rpetrated 'n over four m illi' rs of
votCrf: was most severe. But in
conclusion. in ringing tones he bade
the pcople he of good cheer, that
the great wrong would he righted.
Hendricks and other speakers
followed in the same strain. and
called the party on to victory
There was no despondency at this
meeting. All present were exultant
over the bright prospects of the
Democracy, and evinced the grcat
est determination to n inl.
This meeting is remiarkable only
in having brought Governor Tilden
and Governor Hlehd-icks out of
their retirement. An active warfare
will now he waged, and the Repub
lican party will be made sick. As
the love feast of 1873 led to the
tidal wave of 1874, so this feast is
the precursor of a sweeping Demo
cratic triumph in 1880, and a per
manent return to constitutional
government, and consequent pros
perity and happiness for the peJple.
