The Demnorats of Columbia have unanimouslnminlated Mr. Ielard O'Neale, Jr. for mayor, with a ticket I or aherniet composed of twelve well knowni and sterling eit izens. The cor respondmit of #he .News and Courier liltimates that a strong Independent candidate will be oinamited, but. a dispatch to the Augusta Cronicle the (1 y at'10 expreises the probability that Capltin O'Neale will have no op position. We hope for the sake.of tile good amine of Columbia that Captain O'Neale will receive the solid support of all who call I beinselves Denocrats. To hanvo an idependent canlidate at the capital would be a disgrace to Colum bla amd a reproach to the State, and the entire Denocratic party wotald be called oil to oppose him Just its it was bound to aid in defeating Sale and Gayer.

Let the DCmo crats mako a long pull, a strong pull andi a pull all together. The State Convention. Senator M. C. 11utler, in a letter to a gentleman in Che;ter, quoted by the Bul/din, objects to an early State 1Onililtionl. fIl his opinlion it would reilove soIme of( Ith eithusinsil from the valvass, 1n give nll opportunity to solcheiads llad ildellpenldelni to -ake a light. it' they be So disposed. We lo not believe any one will be so un1patrio"ik. or -;(. inlsalleas to hiead anl ildepindenlit movemelnt, or if there be any sil lint he will comaina111d anly f'llowiI. Our. chief obJcetiln lies ini this, thil. while a flew 'parties have beenl ilteresting l"dtlemselvc; ill politics the masses have ben ittlillding to other matters, taking 110 thought as yet of the nominations to be made. Bletweena this time11 lad the first of Jlune they will be too busy with their croips to think seriously of othter maat ters, and( it is .not dlo'n ( them Just ice orI;conIducive to the best interests of the Deimocratic party to compel a selectiona of canidoates before the whole tield is carefully examined. Early' conaventions1 we're the meanls emplloyed ini Pennsylvania and New York to obtaina snap1 Judgments, and1( they savor stronlgly of aebcline poli ties. While we mnake - no chaarge agalist the Executive Coimittee, ad are ignorant of' the motives that in dulced the call, we must say wet wouild rather have a freer' interchanllge of political opinions before the conven tion. We have heretofore made little menCtloll of State politics for the veryv reas.onl that we did nlot wish the con-. test p)recipitated1. The maasses maove slowly, and1( they should halve kt'.e. We hope the press will speak out in thias matter. Let It b)e known whether - the people0 desire the June Conventionl to nominate a State ticket or whether a sep)arate convenationa shiould he calh etd. Delegaites .should bo instructed in this muatter, for we anever knew anyv political body or conavention to resolve any doubt agaianst itself. In toniclusi~on we' would say '(and wve commalendc this p)aragrap)h to the attenationa of the Lanacaster Ledger) that ever since Generalillagood iand General Gary were annaounced as can didates for' governor, we have favored General IHagood. lBut as Fairfild coun ty, as fari as we caan learn, agrees with Ius, we have not thought it ne0cs sary to waste anly words about It, or to shed gallons of inuk in gettinag up a "boom." Tihe people0 of Fairfld are not beguijedi by imaiginiary booms. The Prevention of Crime. - The State has boon disgraced during the past few months by a long list of h.omicides and affrays, for most, of' Which-the unrestrictedl use of whliskey and deaidly weapons is chiefly respon sible. Sober maeh, lnarmned, would nlever have beena guilty of those crimes. We are not advocates of total abstina ence. That Is to say some men cnn use liquor withbout committinig ay excess, and no special. good would accrue from restricting them to cold water. Others, and( we regret to say' it, a very large portion of the human race, have no business to let a drop pass thetir lips, for they are thereby - tranlsformedo~ into brutes or demons. But better that all liquor in the world - he~ dostroyed thllan that one good man perish. Since, haowev'er, Johan Barleycorni *' will ne1 ir be dethroned, measures should bie takent to cr1ipp10le hs power. for evil. Several rfoirman' ~ay be ini stunted. i4quor sh6buk1 not be thrown Sn the dr unkar'ds wvay. Licenlsea shotd~ bM - aparingly and Judiciously gratited.' li ~pglanad, since the law aliloWs ovojt grocer ana(confe3tioner to retAl1 drink three or four glasses of wino at a confectioiiet's and carry a bottle home-wheli they buecome intoxicated. Amng inebriates of the lower class one-half are women. The evil is laid at (lie door of promiiscuous liquor dealthig. Another reform Is tile cultivati.on of a taste for beor and liit wines. .JDr the Coitinent of' Europe these aro national beverages and the peopli.are comptaratively sober; Whiskey is lie Aiglo-Saxon jand Celtic drink, aiol the races are Imtch more intemiperato. If men will indulge, beer is far less harnfil than n hiskey. The laws should be more vigorously enforced, an(d the killing or wounlding of a hunanl being with a pistol should be made a higher grade of offenece than a similar deed with natural or chance weapons. If' the law will not prev6nt the carrying of concealed weapom, it should at least make these walkihg arsenals take their own life in their hauds when they atteipt another's. The Abheville Piressand Banner- well says that the inan who buckles on a pistol to go after another is a murderer at heart, just as ifi he kills hin h is i mu111rderer il tht. -1omicide 'itil a pistol should be punished even if. com nitted il self-delience. Georg4 ihas a law agaist concealed weapons, and Juge Eve. of Augusta, his eitforcd it strictly. When he recently fined an Edgeeld man who had' t6vyed into Augusta with a pistol oil, lietple become convinced he was in elrnest, and tihe consequence is a nimarked dimiuition of crime In that city. Lastly, the sale of liquor to minors should be. strictly proliited; Parents. sit in blissful Ignorance at hm10ino %hile. their half grown sons c.ill for dripks with the air amnd (11111 them oil' with the skill of veterans. It is not the taste of (lie liquor, but the mannishness of tihe thing tlat pleases tihei. But as they learn to love tobaccO qftcr a sos wrestle with tiausen, so they.cultivate, by practice, a taste for liquor. Thi is the fauat of the parents. The' never take any trouble'to iiquire into .this matter, tid (lie saloon .keeper thinks it is none of his business t ) inquire whether the thing is permitted at hlonik or not. So hadI habits are contracted and iita few years the boy who has b'ecome a man, drinks or gambles or buckles on a huge pistol and kills somebody and the commlunltiity is shocked fort a whlile, and then goes on as becore. If parents would look after their children, and oficials would look after the law, much of this erimle (bat now disgraces the State and repels imimigration would be pre v'ented. Wihy the Puzzlo of Fifteen is now Prohibit ed in the White House. 'Twas ill the White House parlor, At. the goodly hiour' of nine, That Mr.. layes was trying VTe puzzle.1( to divine.

Governor Wiltz, on application of the whites in that ,parea, ordered- thither -the Louisiana Field Artillery. They left, by the morning t.rain on Fri day. -'hewhites who refuse the de mfands of the laborers report that' tiie nlegr'oes threatened to burn the sugar houses if their demands are not 'com:. lplied with. The p)lanfters made(1 anI dIayits against the leaders of the strik ers, charging them with -rioting, -as saulting the planters withl sticks atnd pistols, anud goinig from one plantationt to antother and whipping negroes who refused to strike. TIhe parish authboi ties being unable to execute the lawv, appiealed to Governor Wiltz, who, as above stated, ordlered a company of fld artillery to the scente of trouble.
