THE NEWS AND HERALD. WINNSBORO, 8. C. ruzb?.Y, APRIL t, , r 1879. R. IANB DAV.1, EDITOR. eJNG. S. REYNOLDS. ASSOCIATE EDITOR. TrE LAWYERS of Columbia have unanimously resolved to give their servie s free of cost to any party in dicted for political offenses in the United States Courts, on the ground that It is the duty of the bar to protect citizens from the encroachments upon their rights under the guise of law. This is patriotic conduct. THE MURiEF of Judge Elliott, of Kentucky, by a disappointed suitor, Tom Buford, has been already pub lished. Further accounts stamp it as a terrible tragedy. After the adjourn ment of court Judge Elliott. met this suitor, and expressed sympathy .for I him, whereupon lie was asked by him to take a drink. The judge declined, and moved 'on, but had scarcely passed when the assassin, raising a shot-gun to his shoulder, deliberately fired a load into Judge Elliott's back, killing him almost instantly. When Buford saw he had succeeded, he came for ward, put his hat under his victlin's head and said, "Now die like a man." le tJiei kissed the muzzle of his gun and behaved like a lunatic.' It is said that Buford once fired three shots at his brbther, and .subsequently fought with another man with pistols on a fair ground wherq fifteen thousand people were present. IIe was a dan gerous mnan. Such being his record, even insanity should not save him from accounting for this bloody crime. A Heterodox Opinion. Sometimes the boot gets on the other foot. It has been generally believed that Federal supervisoi's are the abomination of Democrats and the delight of Itadicals. Yet here' coins United States 'Marshal Kerus, of the eastern district of Pennsylvania, and testifies before the Wallace-Teller Committee that at the last election in Philadelphia, supervisors were ap pointed at the special request of the Democrats, and that no Rlepublicans asked for them. The explanation of this is fbund in another part of. his testimony that Phifadel phfia, with her hundred arid fifty thousand votes, is entirely under Republican rule. The whole police force of twelve hundred is Itepublican. Two-thirds of the election districts have Republican majorities on the election'boards, and. In November the witness appointed seven ktijdre .. and seventy-three deputy marshals, all Republican.. The testimony of-Ma'rshal Kerus is of such a character that we are not surprised at the conclusjin ho reaches thiat supervisors and marshals are n'ot necessary in Philadelphia. From . his standpoint we should say not. 'The BIaek Hegira. One of the mnoi!t significant events of the day is the singudar negro hegira from the South. It is estimated that between two and three thousand have already gone up the Mississippi by steamner to St. Louis, and the strange exodus continues without dimninution. They are bound for the West 'mostly for Kansas. They are deaf to all well meant advica to return to the South, and evidently believe that any white mian giving such advice is their enemy. The movement Is a~ general surprise. It was one that'apparently started among the bla*ok people themselveS, how or wvhen nobody knows, agd the negroes keep their own counsel about It. Persons of'liintited intelligence are often not unlike nreasoning animals In the way of following blindly on in a given direction in which they flave been started, like a flock of sheep fump)ing ovet' a fence. The migration of the blacks having begun, it is not Oasy? to tell where it wvill end. Some. thing much like a panic seems to have sot in. *They appear generally to be moving towards Kansas, although some hun dIreds of them staid in St. Louis. Topeka is the point they are generally aiming for. Of the first batch tha't arrived, great numbers wvere most des titute. Many of the latter arivals have bronght money and household goods with them, &nd . home-made wagons, and scrubby little mulos with rope harness. It is thought that Senator Wiindom's scheme to colonize them has induced this strange exodus. The movemnent will hardly amount to muoh; but should it assume latgeo- proportions the danger is ntot only that labor will be come scare here, but as the New York Hrrahcl sug ests, that ia fewthousands settling In the doubtitd Northern States wvoul make these solidly Rlepub lican, and c use the solid South to be confronted y a solid Noth . Advices 'om 5iorra Leoine 'repre sent that e French have'annezed the *English sland of Mataeong, on..the coast of fiecu. "Plain Hints to the South." The following -editorial from the Philadelphia Times, one of the .ablest jou'nals Fin the Union, a representit tive of honest, liberal sentiment, in the North, and a foe to bloody-shirts arnd stalwart Republicanism, is published to give our readers a just conception of how opiniion is moulded at the North. It will be seen that the Times deplorus the situation but deems it necessary to state it. in its true colors. We do not subscribe to the article in niny points, but we give it1 that our readers tray judge the temper of the bigoted No-. tht when the liberal North entertains tnrese views. And as sueces= in the North is absolutely necessary for Democratic suprenacy here, it would be well to consider care fully the warning. The Times says: The Wilmington (N. C.) Sun is usually one of the most judicious of., the Southern journals, but it quite misapprelhends the current of public opiniot, especially in the North, when it assumes that all Federal election laws shoul be unconditionally re pealed.' "' do not pause to liseuss the constlit iut wind question that, seems to be the Favorite plea against all measures which grate harshly upon the old Slate Rights notionls of the South. The one answer to all such argunents is, that there has been a great war; that States Rights, as taught by the South, perished in the conflict, and that. from the arbitranme;,t of the sword there is no appeal. States Rill Its chose its own arbiter, and the judgmetit is irreversible. It is clesrly within the power of the uation to protect the purity of its fountain of authority. The farts that power was grossly ibused in the revo lutioul:y timaes, and that fraud chieved its greatest victories under the prctence of preventitng fraud, do. not aflect the issue. They teach how errors are to be 'corrected and how arbitrary powers are to be revoked; but they do not teach that Presidential and Congressional elcetionis are to be given over to trained ballot-stuflers in Pihiladelphia and New York, or to bull-dozers or adventurers in the South. One Presidential election has been perverted by sysntenat'e fi. ud, and it is in tie power of Congress to pre vent a repetition of so healless a wound to free goverrnent. Mar-shalls are not needed under any circumstances, and it" authorized to interfere with voters, the party that happens to be in power will ever use them to hinder the honest Vote of the opposition; but supervisors fron both parties, ap poitel by the courts, with power to Aheck fraud by official scrutiny and ,ertain expos'e, are needed 'in half f Ilhe Southern States andt in all the leading cities of the North. Their dLuties can be so defined that inter rer'ence with honest electors would be impossible, and they should be in such close accord with the judicial power as to make fraud face the "due pricess of law" whenever. i attenpted the pollution of the 41allot. A word on another point in answer to our respected North C'arolina con temporary. The demagogues "whose constaint cant is the 'Confederate riradier','" ' have "the ear of tIre I 0) pe''of threNorth. Th'ley have it, niot b~ecause th e Northern people are at war with the Southrern people, nor' because the North does not dlesire to cleal out generous justice to the South, but because a fewn fools in the Southr sonrstanrtly supp1ly the troops of lemlagYoguies in tire North wvith abund'ant material with whlichr to assail the whole Southern section of the Union. lPlls speech ini reply to Blaine in the House in 1876, and Lamar's speech1 ini reply to Ulainre in 1879, did more to r 3kinrdle rrationral hatred in the Nort i d to give Nor'ther'n demagogues tire ear of tire Nor'therrn people0, thanti all tire priudenrt ard conrser'vative men-of' the South nn counrteract in haltf a decade. Th'le peopl)e of tIre North are nrot dr'iven ''to the 1)011s like sheep are dirivetn to tire shambles," .but they do r'esolve all LlQuhbts on sect ionral issues against tire South, whren tire South .allows itself to be goaded Into follies by Northern demnagogures. Oneo fool int tire South is f'ood1 enough for a reg'imnt of Northrernr placemnerr whro rely solely' uipon sectional prlejuldices to keel) themr in powver, and thre sooner tire South stops fooling, the soonrer thereo w~ill be peace. -If' ap average -fool in tire North was of just eqjual power with an average fool in tire South, the North could ia,rgely over'lap tine South hr darm:rro to ,itself', but Northern fools tre inrrnoterrt to hrarmi the North hn tihe South, while Southern t'ools are tire whlole stodik in trade of' tire r'evo lutlonists who are ever ready to sacr'i flee tIne tranquility and prosperity of the whole counrtry for power. Threse may riot be gratef'ul wor'ds to the Sun but they are thre wvords of truth ari sobernress. DIR. C. H.
