Fourth, atu. W\oodIdock, Connecticut,
will not -in thm I),ho eiiats, and it
is very vey d)ubtful whether it will
injure Presith nt Ii ryes. Even
lahiine did not allule to the South
011n policy, but coltelit(d hiiiimelf
with riding the Canadtca :annoxation
hobby. An attempt by (ihamuborhtin
to censure any one for political
tergiversation, double-dealing or
falsiehood, requires a vast amount of
cheek, even for him.
Judge R. B. Carpenter has written
to Governor Hampton, resigning the
judgeship of the fifth circuit. Con
uidering that ho had nothing to resign
his course is quite commendablo.
Ho protests against the manner in
which he was ousted, and claims
that the proceeding will appear
absurd to a ealmly thinking posteri
ty. As Carpmitor is out now, we
will merely remark in the languago
of Chamberlain, wo have no time to
waste in "slaying the slain."
The Russians are not achieving the
speedy success they promised at the
beginning of the war. Recent dis
patches indicato, beyond a doubt,
that they have been repulsed at
several points in Asia Minor, and
have, in consequence, raised the
siege of Kars and Batoum. The
weather will soon be too warm for any
further active operations in that
quarter. In European Turkey they
have boon more successful. Over a
hundred thousand troops are said
to have crossed the Danube, and
the Turks have beon forced back to
the Balkan Mountains. No decisive
battle has yet been fought,
It must be remembered, that
however important the office of
clerk of the court may be to the
aspirants to that oilico and their
friends, the public generally aro
much more interested in the selec..
tion of county commlission1ers. This
board has control of all the county
moneys, the county institutions and
the public roads, and on .its
mnaglineint ldopends the general
prosperitiy. Tihe nominations for
theso officos should be emade first
before the balloting for the clerk
shilp begins.
The first duty of the County
Conveuntiom , whenl it mleets, should
hue the n: ~.on of a se t of resei;u
tins of the following tenuor:
IAt. Tt' I the Convention demands
t~ihat all Domoera:uts shiu all heartily
support the nomlinees of the Ca

Convention until he shall' haivo
ple'dged himiiself to ab)ide b~y t he

its' mrmlIin)oes, and not to accep1t

D~emocratic nomination.
3d1. That no0 person will 1be
d (eemed~ a Democrat whio aspires to
or receives offico in a-ny other way
than through a Democratic nomi
nation.
The adoption and ob~servance of
such resohutions will remove any
danger of independent candidates
It seems, after all, that there is to
be a hereafter 'for the Louisiana
Returning Board. -These functions.
- aries hlave been arrested on a crimi
nal prosecution for forging and al
tering returns last November. Their
arrest baa oeused considerable com
mient. .Hayes has thn b~ad taste to
' express indigniation in -Consequence
Sof it. Northern paplers say tihe tiial
\'vill tend in no way to solve doubts
eoxisting as to tile Louisiana .eloeto
iral veo, as tihe jur'y will-not be'ia
qpartial. We opine that .onr North
rern ibr(thren mistake the *animufus of
,the Louisianla rpeople. Their pur
pose is not to make political capital
for the next election, but to inflict
deserved punishment upon ,the
graeless scoupdrels to whbom alone
have been due all their past troubles.
About the time that Madison Wells
and bin on~~rerm ar.e ju, d in te
Louisiana penitentiary, we trust
that our immaculate ox-board of
State canvassors will also be lan
guishing in Richland jail for their
contempt of the supreme court.
The colored people of this State
are said to lie iuch agitated over a
moveinmit on1 foot to procure ia
wholesale exolus to Liberia. At the
mueetug held inl Charlestol hlst.
week the determlinnl ieeldu il Ce
general to pick up bag land in1g e
and leavo at on( . It is alrdly v
probable LI tt i m ovmnic: tiii will
Iamllonllt to much. Tle li:torv of
every Southcrn Stato sineo rc'on
struction shows that the restoration
of Democratic supremacy is inv aria
bly followed at first by a desire un
the part of the colored people to
emigrate to somne other land ;ad
that after a few months, owing to
their inability to incur the expense
of removal, and to their discovery
thst Democratic rule does not sub
ject them to the horrors they had
pictured to themselves, they bocomo
again contented and resolvo to
remain at home.
The instantaneous loss of
the entire labor of a State would be
a serious evil. But as this could
not possibly occur in South Caro.
lina, under existing circumstances,
the present movement is not worth
serious notice. Moreover, as the
emigration would be limited and
confined to the restless, shifting
element of our colored population
we could well afford to spare some
fifteen or twenty thousand to Libe'
ria. We should therefore be rather
disposed to favor the idea.
The Duty of the Convention.
The Democratic County Club will
meet in Winnsboro on the 14th, to
consider an election for the vacant
county offices. Thorn was perhaps
a question, whether the the County
Club would itself nominato or
whether, deeming itself morely a
part of the collective machinery of
the party for a general purpose, it
would call a convention for the
specific purpose of making nomina
tions. Little doubt now cxists tiit
the Club itself will proceed directly
to the solcetion of the candidates.
A grave responsibility rests upon
the mewhers of the convention.
Not because they have to nominate
a eleik of the court and three couni
ty commihssoners, for the mere
selecin of four competent men01 ini
the whole coun111ty of Fairfiekd is anI
easy and compara l~tive-ly tivial mat
ter. Thoe quevstion who .shmall hoid
ollico is but a baigatelje in comnar
ison with the" n.cessity' fo Dem o
cratie i upreacy in the State.
That .is thme Conlsidera tionm restin g on
the Convention1. The~ party is yet
in its inlfane).- ThFle elev in inm
Novembier wvas on ly the- upr;isij
an1 CXtuper ated iaeole to om. tho w
a corrupjt andh v iciou dynastyh05I . Theii
next step), and~ on10 of fuilly equal
impilortamnce, is th~e crys,.tall i:m tion of
all the existing elemnt s in to one(
homogeneous whole ; so ihat the
nowi (dynasty may be firmnly en
trenched~ in po0wer-a task requlir ing
even more care and labor than .the
destruction of the old regime.,
Last year the cr-y was simply
"down with radicalisml." Upon this
platformn stood B3our-bon D~emocrats,
Old Line : Wigs, Conservatives,
Jiborals, Republicans and all deceut
men, .irrespective of p)arty. Byv
their united eflorts the rotten old
fabic was tumbled to tihe ground.
But it is far easier to pull dlown
than to build up. A mob) can de
stroy, but to erect regnires patience,
skill and organized effort. To this
task-of re-erection must tihe Decmo
cracy now appl1y itself. The~ par-ty
must solidify its organization, biing~
ing back into the ranks all who may
be incjined to stray off. Its dluty is
to ad~opt a broad .and liboeral plan of
action, founidedJ on the surest prin
eiples ; for principio always wins ill
the end. The horrible and dis
gracofhil end of the Radical party in
consequence of its utter wvant of
anlything like . principle is a frightful
warning to all future organization.
Now, one o~f. the first principiesof
repnblican innmautg is tata te
majority must rule, and that the
minority must yield. Another is
that the majority must use its
power discreetly, and With a (1110
regard for its opp1onellts, so as to
demand their respect. It must
plursle i broad beat en track so that
the faiiness of its victory can':ut bo
ullestioneld. Then aie its measures
entitled to a hearty support.
The Democrats of Fairfield have
ihu8s'n their delegates to attend a
c(;nv( 1tion called to subserve the
i .d. tere(sts of the people. They
expct the coniventiol to deliberate
iam:, t urely, so as to evolve some
policy that will strengthen the
larty. The primary object is to
h arlonize the J)emocrats ; the
seccnd, to neutralizo external op
posi tion. No member of the Con
vr-.itiOn should be actuated by p1r -
son1al favor or persoulal etnity. He
must merge hillS f and his private
motives in the goieral welfare.
Each individual has the right to
push his own or his friends' claims
or to oppose rival aspirations to a
certain point. Beyond that, le
must not go. This is what the
people demand, and weo have the
confidence in the c(nvention that it
will not disappoint them. Let the
convention b)o imul)led tboroughly
with the sense that harmony is of
the utmost import ance : then let the
voice of the majority ho clearly heard;
and the people will move u1p1 ill solid
colWi1um1 to the support of the noi,'
nations. Every Dueocrat must de
his duty.

POLITICAL NOTES.
President Hayes celebrated tho
Fourth by lving his picture taken.
About the same time Mr. Blaine was
making faces at him in Woodstock.
Mr. Pendloton denies that he has
entered into any combination with
anyone to have himself elected
United1. States Senator from Ohio,
11s miuch as ho would like the posi
tion.
It is estimated t.hat ninety per

sin are members of the political
(coIlit tees, and the Priesident's

State conunlii t :e.
The man Who introduced the ros
olution inl the Iowa Convention
indorsing the President's policy is
one of the most bitter opponents of
that policy in the State. Hte wanted'
the convention to show its hand,and
finally got what he wanted.
Since the President has issued his
order the Milwaukc e K'ivs fears
that there will be no Republiean
convention in that State this year.
The oIlicesholders being barred out
it is doubtful if enough Republicans
can be folid willing to serve as
delegates.
The ilepublicans of Trrinmbiull
county, Ohio, roost (langerously
high. At ia convention the other
day they cm phatically and evident ly
without fear declared that it is imex
pedielt at this time to adopt a plat
lotm. This party is so in te'llectuail
ly heavy that it will probably break
the fence down.
The election, in Ohio this year
will bo for governor, lieutenant
governor, judge of the siupreme
court, attorney-general, treasurer,
school coluissionier, inemtbir of
the bo:ir of public works. The
Democratic convention will be held
on Jufly 25..and the Republican con
veitioni one week later. In addition
to State otlicrs nimembers of the
Legislature are to be chosen.
The c 0 rgia Constitutional Con'.

however, a sufficiently strong con--.
