IT Is NOT a matter of much credit
to Charleston that ex--Judge Wim.
M. Thomas is looming up as a
leader of the Democracy, and that
he should question the sincerity of
C91. Edward McCrady, Jr., and
other gentlemen of such standing.
Judge Thomas has long boon the
Charleston correspondent of the
New York Sun, and his course has
forfeited what respect people
otherwise might have entertained
of him. He has libeled Governor
Hampton and the Democrats of the
State, time and again, in the most
malicious and yet, happily, silly
manner. The Charleston Democra
cy must get rid of Thomas.
The Poe in the Field.
As has been predicted, the Radi
cal party in this county is again in
the field. A County Convention
will be hold in Winnsboro on
Monday to sond delegates to the
Radieal State Convention in Co
lumbia on the 7th. Precinct meet
ings have already been held through
Fairfield, and religious revivals,
which mean polities, have been in
full blast for some time, An at
tempt will be made to elect Logis
lative and county tickets. The
ticket will, of course, be black, as
no white man will suffer his name
to he used by the Radicals, but the
race will, .nevertheless, not be a
walk over. It behooves the Demo
crats to bestir themsolves and pro.
pare for an active campaign. It
may be necessary to repeat the
events of 1876, when every Demo
crat was ned,ed, and all of them
were not quite enough. Two
duties present theiselvos to the
Democracy-..$rst, to nominate good
candidates, and next, to elect them
at the polls. If the people get to
quarreling among themselves about
lawyers and the phosphates and
the usury bill and the fence law
and other minor issues, they will
all be swamped together. Pro
cisely these dissensions have stimu
lated the Radicals and givcn them
hope. They have ielt that before a
united Democracy their chances
wrze hopeless. But just so soon
as these difference.s arose in tihe
different counties, Radicalism waked
up. The leaders in the low coun
.try are very defiant. Smnalls and
Whipper and Swails are injecting
all their old venom into the cam
paign. They defy the government
and dare it to prosecute th~eim.
Why they are not already in jail is
a puzzling question. But, as it is,
they are making trouble. They
and their cohorts.must be promptly
met by a united party. We are
.not yet fully out of the woods. We
want everybody to help.
SOuTH oAROLINA NF~IWB,
The Radicals are waking up all
over the State.
Hampton county is to have an
mndependent candidatp .for -,he
Senate.
The artesian -.well in Charleston
has reachesd a depth of nineteen
hundred and sixty feet.
One Columbia man has made one

The work of constru~cting .the
Charleston jetties will not be comn

Gilmore writes to a friend in Co..
Itumbia.
There was a .bloody fight between
two negro men near the Charlotte,
Columbia and Augusta Railroad
depot, in Columbia, Monday after.
noon. Sticks and rooke were used
very effectually.
A white lunatic on th.e Oreenv,ille
n -as betn . lVrought down to , be
train near Williatnston, on Monday,
and escaped to the woods.
Mr. E. R. Allen, of Barnwell
county, who was shot at Allendalo
on the 23rd ult., by E. M. Williams,
the town policeman, died on the
17tb. The killing resulted from a
quarrel in a bar-room about politics.
The general impression seems to be
that it was not justifiable. Williams
has not yet been arrested.
Nine convicts escaped from the
penitentiary on Wednesday after
noon, by way of the river, which
forms the western boundary of the
enclosure. One was shot to death
by the guard ; five others, one of
who was slightly wounded, were
recaptured on an Island, and three
are still at large on the island,
where they also will probably be
recaptured.
Thero is quite an exciting politi
cal canvass going on in L-mcaster
couuty over the Senatorship, the
rival aspirants being Gen. Jno. B
Erwin and Col. Jno. D. Wylie. The
primary election system prevails in
the county, and there seems to be a
regular old-time political tussle.
Recently, a third candidaic, Rov. W.
F. Brasington, has been brought
out, and there is no telling how the
light will end.
Honest John Patterson said re
cently that lie believed the Adminis
tration would back out of the posi
tion it had assun?od with re erence
to the revenue agents imprisoned in
South Carolina. Ho savs the
President told him that there would
be no use in rosistinco if the State
Courts refused to give tlp the
agents, because the army could iot
be used as aposse omitcatus, and he
did .not lioliove there could be a
posse raised i.n Sou.th 1Carolina in
opposition to the de.cisionn of the
State Courts. He added : '.I told
Hayes he would yet" see the necessi
ty for troops in the South."
A youth named Robert or John
Quiucy Adams, living near Colui
bia, was shot and instantly killed
recently by a man named ,ovi
Elkins. The boy, his imother and
Elkins, who lived together, wore
engaged in a playful contest over
thl) pos.ess,oi of comue trifle, having
socured which the boy started to
ruim oft, when Elkins seized a gun
which, he declares, he thought was
not loaded, and aiming it at the boy
ordered l,im to halt. Th command
was disregarded and Elkins pullel
the trigger, the gun lirel and the
boy dropped dead with a load of
shot in his body. Elkins has sur
rendered himself to the authorities.

Reliable reports from Havana
state that a no ro riot broke out
there on the 22d ult. in the locality
known as Los Sitios. The principal
cause of dissatisfaction among the
blacks seems to have been their
continuance in slavery after the lib
eration of all those who lately siur
redered at the collapse Qf the ro.
bellion. During the disturbance
the polico charged, sword in hand,
killing and wounding a great many.
'T'he rioters then disporsed, and fled
to the swamps aroun(d Atare's castle.
Only a few arrests were made, and
all the ring-leaders escaped.

Viary, but had obtained a nevy trial.

and this has been made intensely
chronic by the insane idea, eem
