4 3 E C , .. .] +(~ *1.:1." WINNSBORO, S. 0. iJ'URSDAY, JUNE 6, 1878. X. MEANS DAVIS, EDI'on. JNO M. iCEYNOLDS, AsSOCIATP h9DITOn. A Dastardly Attempt. The intelligence that a second attempt in three weeks has been made to assassinate the Emperor of Germany, has caused a shock. No sovereign in Europe is more uni versally respected and admired than Kairier Wilheln, while by his own people be is revered as a father. Itis gratifying to learn that despite his great age of eighty-two years he is in a fair way to recover. This worild-be assassin cannot be hanged too speedily as a warning to other murderous villains. This is the fourth attempt on the life of Empe. ror William, the two first occurring many years ago. Colored Democrats. Considerable discussion has been evoked by the query whether col. ored membership to the Damnocratic clubs should be solicited or not. The News and Courier, after re viewing the discussion, continues as follows : If the colored people are willing, however, to become Democrats in gooi faith, it will require grave deliberation to dotormnio whether it is not wiser to let them in, and give them a voice in the par ty, than to leave them outside as a bait for Independent Democrats. The In dependent, not the colored Demo erat, is the rock ahead in South Carolina politics, and the more colored Democrats there are the less voters will there be to appeal to the ambition of the Independent and Make him hope that, with their help, he can defeat the regular candi dates. That this is a matter of grave de liberation none can gainsay, nir will many contend thit sincere colored Democrats should be excluded from our party organization. But the question of sincerity is very per plexing. When colored men voted for Hampton in the teeth of count less obstacles and despite the most outrageous bulldozing, from the Federal administration and from ),ne influences alike, they should be received into full membership. But these eleventh-hour colored Democrats who wvant to get aiboard now that the ship is in full muotion, should be viewed with suspicion. Their admittance will do more to destroy the party than all the Inde pendent moves that can be deviseo1. An Independent is obliged to get o utside of party lines ; and party fealty, where alU enrolled Democrats are above suspicion, will mash out all opposition. But admit an inflnx of wolves in sheep's clothing, and the very men who in the other aLl. ternative would be Independents, will pander to the pre3judices of the worst elements of the party, and thus become the party nominees, Sgood Democrats being compelled to -aupport them or to organize a bolt, the latter ailternative being impossi ble. New recruits to the Democra.. ey should be compelled to undergo the baptism of a general election before being received into full com munion. As a general rule it is .much safer to reject applications from newly pledged colored Demo.. e rats, especially those who have have heretofore been blatant i~dicals. Let us beware of the r.eeks bringing gifts. After Sherman with a eharp Stick. The Petter Investigating Comn ~ anittee has developed some ugly facts aboiut Secretary Sherman and ',Stanley Matthews. A Louisiana adical named Anderson (not the * * eturning Board knave) testifies that the Radicals purposely re .tSrained from voting in tlhe Fel-' 0tana and other 33omocratic .parishes a ' order to o'y 'fraud anud thus tiow ouA thesie counti,es. He wasn 43 upervisor and saw that the elec ~ on was perfectly fair, the blaoks i.n ~onumbers voting the Demuoera-. ticket He refused to make st1ffraut, bni as these 'were promised office if they estood by the party." Yielding to those promises he forged the pr'oper papers. Bo,. coming angry with his confederates, he. offored the Democrats for $4,000 to reveal the whole conspir.icy. While they were considcriug the proposition, the news of the Oregon vote was received, and Anderson received the cold shoulder. He then stuck to his crime, and after the inauguration of Hayes claimed his reward. Failing to receive it, he now confesses. He produces the copy of a letter purpoting to be from Sherman, in which he is prom ised protection and office. Slier.. man on being questioned about the latter made evasive leplies, of the following import : I can only say this, that I believe upon my responsibility and the oath I have taken that I never wrote snch a letter s I have no recollec" tion of ever writing such a letter ; if this letter was written, it Inst have been, if I am not mistaken about the dates, on the day when the returning officers first convened to open the returns ; I think it was on the 20th ; at that time I knew but little about the transaction ; the papers had not been opened ; J do nit believe I ever wrote that letter; at the same time there are things !in this letter that I would have said to these or any other men who were engaged in the performance of what I believed to be tbeir duty, if 1 had been asked; but I do not believe I wrote that letter. This shifting and quibbling by the Secretary was a great disap pointment to the Republicans, while the Democrats believe they can prove the guilt of the Visiting St ltesmen even more cleariy. A letter from Hayes has been pro duced, recommending Anderson's appointment as a special case. All this has an ng'y look, even to the e>nservative correspondent of the New Yo. h Herald, TOWN J JO.J)INAxCr$. (Published by Authority.)
