WINNSJORO. S. 0. MATURDAY NOVEMBER 23 1878. ic. ,grNANVI, EmRTOU. jY&. &.'1EYNOLD8, A8SCIATH EDITOR. Tim LATE A. T. Stewart is reporte(l to have said "Constant advertisiiig brought me all I own." There's 11mil lous in it. Ex-Aj)jUT%ANr AN) Inspector-Gener al lI. W. Purvis has reached his level. He was arrested in Charleston a few days ago for being drunk and dis orderly. THURsDAY LAST was set apart by the City Council of Charleston as a day of thanksgiving. It was generally ob served. President Hayes has appoint ed the 28th of November as a day of general thanksgiving. The Senatorship. In a little more than a week the Legislature will be called upon to elect a successor to John J. Patterson. At present only two gentlemen are nentioned in connection with the office-Governor Hampton and Gener al Gary. Governor Hanpton, it is said, is willing to accept, in which case we presume there will be no opposition to him. But certain par ties are opposing his election on the ground that he can do more good as governor, and that. he should till the term for which lie has just. been unanimously elected. In answer to this, we hold that Governor Hampton has been of sufficient service to South Carolina in the past to allow him to choose the arena in which he wishes to serve in future. Besides it is by no means certain that he is more needed in the Executive Mansion than on the floor of the Senate.' Talk as we may, the grand contest of 1880 must be opened in the halls of Con gress. The Democratic party in South Carolina can take care of itself. The National Democratic party needs all the strength it can muster. Despite the foul slanders and indecent. abuse of hired Radical organs, Wade Hump ton wields an immense influence among the conservative inen of the North, and they will listen to his words. We wish menofeonservatisin and national reputation in the Senate, to aid in directing Democratie coun sels. While we regret to lose him from the Chief Magistracy of South Carolina, there is no one in the State we would rather see in the Seniate than Wade Hampton. And we trust that no innuendoes as to his motives will cause him to swverve froma what he believes to be his dunty. The peo pie of South Carolina wi'll take care of his rep)utation. General Gary is a gentleman of ability, shrewdness and boldness, hut we do not agree with the Straightou/ Democrat in believing hinm to be necessarily the other alternative. Should Hampton ref\use to run, the Senatorship will not be carried oilf by any one without a fieree contest, as there are quite a number of prominenat men in the State who would grace the position- Without going furthaer, it may be mentioned that geographaicalI reasons militate strongly against General Gary's chances. Edgefield already has a Senator, a Congressman, a Solicitor, and possibly, a Speaker. The rest of the State would like to get a small share of the good things lying around loose. We will add, in conclusion, that if Governor Hampton is sent to the Senate, the Hon. W. D. Simpson wvill make as good a governor as can be. found anywhere. The Colored Man's True Policy. Radidal ohickens are coming homne to roost. For a week or two Decmo orate were arrested ad lib>ittm on trumped up charges, and Radical marshals, commissioners and witness es had a good thing of it. But the tables are turning. Several negroes have already been arrested on the charge of perjury. Several more ini Williamsburg are eluding the sheriff. Sam Leo has been punt in~ jail for the *ffence of not keolung open the pro bate judge's office as thme law requires; and ex-judge and present commission er, Wiggin, who. was dragooning Barnwell, has been put in jail on the charge of' accepting a bribe while solicitor In 1875. This teaches the colored man a use f\ul lesson. It shows that the timie has passed for throwing Innocent I1emO erate into jail with impunity, and that it is no longer safe to swear failsoly at the biding of Radical leaders, It aiso shows that every attempt to eXc cite animosity between the races will tcooil upon the heads of the weaker. During the past two years of' Hamp ton's administration, while Dem~o oratic sup)remacy was everywhere acknowledged, the -blacks ernjoyed greater tranquility than they had ever before experienced. Accepting the situation, they were kindly treated by the 'whit-es. But during the hist month,01 Since Rtadical emii:aries have been permitted to plot for a new era of hate, the State has beenl violently disturbed, and the blacks, in sotiko sections, aire ini a condition almost its bad as they were in 1876. If Gralit with all his troops could not preserveo peace inl the Southli, it is absurd to ex tet tIhat 1layes, aflr sui t'orinig fthe liere(st pllsionls tu be aroused, canl enforce good order with a feV ticky Ulited States llarslsl, imost ofAwhoi should bw inl the pelitwintiary. Tilhe wellare of the blacks depids mitirely uponl the prosperity of' the wihites, and an Ceniv at home is ir iore poteit than a friend abroad. If the blacks have any sense or reason they will form an alliance with their Demo cratic neighbors, and go hand In hand with them for good government, which means a Democratic govern. ment, pure anld uiidefiled. 1ut if they persist in supporting such men as Smalls and Mackey and Raincy and Sam Lee and Swails for ofilee, they are merely heaping up wrath upon their heads; and while the leaders will floe the masses are bound to sufler. The Northern Hadicals are returning to their old tacties. They are trying to make the South "kill the niggers." The peace that has been obtained since the South became Democratic has beei gall and worm wood. And all the arrests that have been made have (he ulterior piurpose of exasperatting the whites dowii herel to the extent of violence. Will the colored people consent to have themselves killed for the pur pose of aeuding Zach Chandler to the Senate or making 3laiie I'resident? We think not. We believe that the masses are conitent to live in comfort, and safety. Right here we congratu late tile colored people of Fairfield in showing the good sense to refuse to follow the old Radical leaders in a hopeless tIght. Many voted for the Democratie cHnidiate.s and the others refused to support a disgraceful ticket. Thi result is perrect peace inl Fair field, and entire harmony among Ill her citizens. This is the true policy to be pursued, an(I if tile colored peo ple of Fairfield only stick to it, they will live ill perfect safety, reap) the ftiits of their labor, and perform their part in solving the industrial problem of the State. If not there is no telling what dangers may be inl store for all classes. AN Ori ROGE CAUGHT AT LAST. Ulnited States Commissioner Wiggin was arrested at Blackville on Wednes day on a warrant of Trial Justice Allen, charged with malpractice as solicitor in 1875, in taking a fifty dollar bribe to comupromise a case of g4rantd larceny, lie was arrested after ho lad adjo)urned his court, anid had1 intormed his marshal t hat all prisoners hiereaf ter arrested must be carried to Comn missionier Williams, at Aiken, as lie would have to go to Beaufort. it. is supposed that lhe knew of the warrant fo,r his arrest, as he kept his room until the arrival of thme train, and the constable was forced to arrest him after lhe got on the cars. Upon his being arrestedl lie called for United States Marshal Ihmurke, uand ordlered hin to arrest (Counmty (Conistablle Atta way, Hie wvould tnt leave the traini wit hout a show of force by the con stable. Afltr his arrest lie was taken to the hotel. where lhe attempted to scr'een himself by pretending to open 'onrt withI a view' of t ryinmg Constable Attawayv. Hie was takhen to Barnwell this afternoon. FoUrL MURIDER IN $IUMTEI.-Rev.
