"Indopendent Denocrats."
The Columbia Relgister of the 2d
inst. contains a )clgtly editorial
on "Iiid'epqOiA6nt Denocrats." After
showing hat this genles onlco
flourished in Democratic counties,
the article continue:
]hoi independent Democrat has,
cmanged his base of operations, Ho;
has lorsalen the whiite counties,
whih are unalterably and irre'Versi
bl'y Dlinoeratie, and ha2's iigrated
to the moiddlo country, where he10
can pursuo hit dusiris with botter
hopo of succss. .The demoralized
opposition is food for the preV of
his genius, and lie scizes at 01100
ulponl tle opportuity to SOeCuO a
coalition with the disintegrating
Olnients of that defunct party, by
which to hoist himself int public
office. Shornt of their natural lead -
ers, many of the iegroe:i arc ready
to eling to whatev(er ofrers suecess
in fightiig the Duiemovirat s. and it im
not surprising that tho independent
Demociat'readily gains their conli
deNce and support. His welcome
as'sistyrneo affords themI, anl opp1or.
tinity to rally one again for thi
defeat of pulro DeOlmoc racy, which
they hvo be6n taughtil for years
IIIeans an invasion of their iights.
It must, not bo -xpeeted 'hat the
ignorance and stupidity of the nogro
rave (ali be overcome in ia single
0ami1PIlign, nor that a few months of
Democratic rule will obliterate tho
falso and slanderous teachings of
the past tea years. The indepid
ont Duml"ocrat fully appreciates the
situaton, and is manking ISIo . of the
CoIditioni of the negroes to Itirt.l
his sulfish ei(s. It is vell to guard
C,ho public mind against these
devices of secret enemies, and to
keep lconstantly in view the
nocessity for strict party organ ia
tion, 1util the last tvestige of daniger
has disappeared.
Fairfield and Newberry afford in.
staices to illustrate thie drift of our
r.marks. The recent election in
Newberry was won by the rogular
Democratic ticket by only a small
majority. Tho opposition was
rallied .y a ebronio vilifc-s;ekCr,
w%ho took advantage of tile dissatis
faction among Democrats to ar
range a ticket with his own IIIII)e
uiponl it, and headed by Major C. H-.
Siuber for the Legislature. Major
Suber wavls Ibheit it the Sprinigs,
but lie r iejecte( a v overtures to
lend his namne and influence to an
idependent ticket, andi now
declares that, if the contest had re,
suilted in his elect,ion, "(.here would
haive beeni no alterniative for him bjut
to refuse to serve." His wdcl
knoW'u htegrity andit -purity as a
D)emocrat oxonieraLt( lim from all 11
blamie ini conneiction with the indo
pondenlt ticket. His p)opulairity
among the colored p)eople was used
as a mieanis to further the ends of
the disor'gaizwers. But the eflort
failed, and no-one will rejoice at its
A special election tatkes place in
Fairfield shortly, and a siniilar
miovemnint to divide the D)emocrats
has ant existence there. Thej1 name
of Capt. S. B. Clownev heatds the
ticket, although lie repudiates all
conniection with the attempt to scycer
the Demnocrt ic party. H is influence
antd pop)llulrity are' seizeCd uipon by
disgruntled Democrats to effect a
temnporary object, which can only
result inl tihe permi)anient evil to the
regular org mza'ion. The tr:rm;lh of
such a coalition with the defeated
Radicals will loud encouragem~n t
to future efforts in this direction,
and render it difficult to reunite tihe
Democrats in the next camp)aignm.
The only safety is to combine the
influence and oertions of all good
D)emocrats to make the present
effort a signal failire, and avert the
diiliculties whuicht will increase in
priop)ortion) to the success of the in
.dependent ticket at this timte.
In both instances, we believe, the
pretext hashboon thiat the nomina
tinig conventtionls wore niot the direct
and immnediato creatures of the peo
plo0. Tho allegation is that the
noinaitting power' has been retained
by delegates elected somo) timot ago,
or that they were not chosen for
this express purp'1oso. It isl porti
nont to ask, admitting tihe'fu force
of thte allegations made, in what
manner -the creation of an indepen
dent ticket wvill rectify mistakes of
lthis'ohiaractor ? iW.ill a split .ini.thie
party, 'for the reasons~ assigned,
tend to.corr.cot the abuse-or misuse
*of delegated authority ? Does not
the mode of redress sought by dis
satisfied Democrats involve graver
consequences than- simple mistakes ?
It is a crime against the organization
itself, which cannot be condoned by
excuses of this character. The
*positive and inevitebI efroot.is to
assail the intogiity of the party, and
produco the utmost discord whero
peaco is absolutolv essential to sue
COSS.
Tho Register is mistaken in bb
lioving that the pretexts for running
indopendent 'tickets in the two
cout4i3 arO tie same. In Newberry
tho nomination was made by a con,
Vontion, tho members of which, if
wo are not mistaken, wore elosenl in1
April 187!, for the purpose of snd
ing delegatos to the Stato Domo
Cri tic Coiiven tion w hihellelected de
"ates to tho St. Louis Convention.
Theso delegatos claimed to hold for
two years, and they mado the county
nominations last fall and also n1om1i
nated for tho vacancies filled last
week. Strong cause existed thero
for 'disaffection. It was justly
charged that the convention was
not a representativo body for tht
puirposeo of iaking nominations at
this time. It was dmeianded that
delegates bhuld be chosen fresh
from tho,people. This was refused
and the refusal served ar; tho pro
text for the independent ticket.
The Democrats of Newberry. not
withstanding this, pioferred as a mat
ter of poliCy, to stand by the Demo
cratic nomination rather than give
aid and counteance to the Radi
cals.
No such epretext exists ill Fairfield.
The delegates were chosen fresh
fr<nu the people anlid went into tho
C(niveltion for a specifie purposo.
Doth parties used the usral meaus
of furthering their objects. The
nomination of Mr Rerr was per,
fectly fair and v.lid, and all dule
gates, and aill mmnlbers of the party
who participated in le primary
elections,8 are hmolt hv it. If tha,i t
nomination cannot bind the party,
then there is no party. It is idle to
talk about rofusing to go with the
party. There eamnot bo threo par
ties in the county. Nino tenths of
the peoplo of Fairfield are either
Democrats or Republicans, and one
party or tho other must rule.
Tho F,nce Law.
NMams. Eyditors.
Doforo taking any specilic action
on the fence law, would it not bo
well for tihe people to look carefully
into and e.Xmlino its probablo work
ilgs ? In the first place, a law to
be oflicient miust have a penIally
attached for its violation, and one
too that ca:n in case of necessity be
sucessfully enforced. Examine
care fully, if you please, sections 3
and 4 of the p)resout fence law, and
youl will there find that the poenalty
as1 it no0w stands is certainly a nul
lity, and really, in plain language,
aumounts to nothing, from tile fact
that it cannot be made to affect one
party in every twenty throughout
the county, in caso5 of violation. An.
athor p)oint is wvorthy of considera
Lion. To pass it as a townishiip
measure, or in any other shape than
for the whole county, could certainly
be very unwise and impracticable,
us it entails a~ considerable expense
rn townships wvhich pass it, inl thme
buildinlg and keeping up of division
fences where contiguous townships
dIo not adopt it. Hence wo see
when we .examine it, that while it
would be a good law for a coulnty or'
lifferent adjoining ed unties, it cer -
Lainly becomes a very poor one for
u single towl'shipj or evon several
townships w hich ar'e not contiguous
lu the same11 county.
Thme law as it now stand(s, is cr
tainly not well considered nor prop
arly matured, and-to say the least
of it, is very imrperfoet :oonsequent.
ly, we thing before passing it b)y
singlo townships, it should bo prop.
or.ly exatmied, amnd looked into with
somel degroe of
