To win. in 1880 will require all the ?Fyencitv, forbearance and unilv that the Democrats can muster. Re] ublicat? leaders of the Rlainc school have long seen that the keep ing alive of sectional animosities an I the preventing of any friendly alli ances between the North and South . a is the only hope of their party.' On this chord they are playing with marye'ous success With ?jTunrs saical hypocrisy they prate about pence, but they don't want the war ever to end, because, with the establishment of true harmony and good feeling between the sections, comf.?nhc downfall of-their dominion. Their battle cry is "a solid North" against "a solid South," and every straw is used for its verification. All Rough possessed1 of ' neither brains nor character, that child of for tune, UlyscsrS. Grant; is taken upas the most effective embodiment of this war-like sentiment, and as the recog nized leader of the'Northern armies, is expected to solidify the North. Eve-iy thing points to him just now ns'the standard-bearer of the Repub i enna in ihc coming Presidential con test. Under, these circumstances what should be the Democratic tactics? In our opinion a continuation of 1 hat spirit of moderation ami broad statesmanship which will break down the charge of sectionalism on the par t of the South, and show that if the South ii solid, it is solid for constitu tional liberty and not for sac lional Aggrandizement. ?In this connection we regret to see the quarrels which arc going on be tween Northern and Southern Demo crats in Congress which are giving so much encouragement to our political opponents. Democratic principles are broad nud national and not section al. As a proof of this wo o.ily have to refer to llio war, which while it arrayed the sections against each other, the Democratic party was as broad as the nation, and was found on both sides. Jt is therefore not .s< clionnl, and nnv tendency to make it so will result in our ruin. Tlio South cannot elect a President alone. If therefore we ali enate our Northern allied we con sign ourselves to the certainty of all the horrors ofGrantism. By wisdom, concession and unity in the last National Democratic Con vention which nominated Til Ion, we carried lour Northern States and, al though cheated out of it, elected oil r candidate. Why abandon this policy ?Ooes any Southern aspirant crave the emolu ments of the Presidential harth ? Can we allbrd to allow such paltry considerations of private gain, or in vividttal ambition to stand in the way of the establishment of Constitutional liberty? We trow not. Let who may, en joy these honors; but give us, as a ncoplc, the material blessings of free government and equal rights. In furtherance ol this object let us select as our standard beater that man whose name aud character will be a living denial ol every charge of Sectionalism, and will restore the party to its true national reputation. Sweep at Home. In a recent discussion in the Legis lature of New Jersey, it was develop ed that s iding valves were used to facilitate the stuffing of ballot-boxes. This is ahead of anything in the South. The Teller Committee had better turn their labors in this direc tion. I>CtlllS ? We regret to learn that Mr. .T-*??ies Johnson, of theForVi ?"? wft8 tllken sick whil" "I attendance upon the Ai.st Court, and compelled to return to his homo, died on last Friday of pneu monia. We are also pained to receive the intelligence that Mr. N. P Jefcoat, a most estimable citizen ol Lexing ton County, died on Wednesday, of iiic same disease. Again we are called upon to note the nnival, on Friday, of the re mains of Mr. Eugene Clover, a son of the late L. O. Clover, former Clerk of Court. lie was pursuing bus studies in the up country at the lime of his dentil. Although a mute, Mr. Glover was a young man ol* in telligence, and gave every promise of a USClul future' The l'unoi-.vl eoi?. vices were performed at tin Latin - ran Church. IM rs. Elizabeth, Staley, an old in habitant of this County, died on Mond and was buried on Wednes day at i! o Presbyterian grave yard . She was tt:i old lady and highly esteemed for her excel etil nualities. Her funeral took place at :he Metho dist Church, where a large number of her friends gathered to pay the last respect to her memory. J. C. McKewn, an active and promising youth, is the. next victim of the grim messenger. He was a young man in the vigor of youth, and was sick but one week he.'ore bis death, lie was a member of the Hook and Ladder Company where he made many friends by his sterling, social, qualities, and faithfulness iu the discharge of duty as a fireman . Revs. O. A. Darby and Manning Brown performed his funeral services at the Methodist Church on Monday, where his many friends and bis Coln rades ol the Fire Department assem bled in sadness to pay him the last testimonials of respect. Thus jne by one the young and the old are drop pi ng off on tlie road-side of life, and we me forcibly nnd daily reminded of the realities ofthat eternity which will sooner or later become the por tion ol each one ol us who survive. ?1 ? mm Xatlinniol Lodge?

Eleclion in Branohvillo?A Shooting Encounter. Brakciivillb, 8. C. Feb. -1, 1879. I'di <>r Orantjvburi/ Time*: Quite an exciting election was hclil here, yesterday for Intendant and Wardens. The Hon. W. II. Roc dish was urged for the first posi tion by a number of his friends, but declined to enter the field, as the ei lor question was a part of the con test, which he deprecated with many other good citizens. Mr. ?lohn C. Reeves headed the Democratic and Mr. E. T. R. Smoak the Republican tiekit. The light was a very warm one indeed, a num ber of whites Jiaving openly espoused Pmoak's side, At the close ot the poll there weii.some fifty-odd votes in the box^fl'vWss of the poll list, wh"?ch wcre/iniM^B'it according to law. This ?toiie;^^election was declared by the tjtnagers. Mr. Reeves ami his ticjtet got in by a handsome majority. A uotico of protest, however, was served upon tho board of managers, and a judi cial investigation miy bo the out come of this day's werk No one knows luiv the excess of votes got into the b is, and certain it is, that all law-ahidiig citizens de plore such exhiilrTT^oV of disregard for the purity of <mrelective system. Where it will end, n?j):io knows. It is an fugus growth vhich has taken root in our body poli.ic, and may yet prove " very Upas tree to our civi lization unless frowmtl down and dis countenanced by homrahle mm. A man may he excused for disregarding his obligations for society now and again when prompte 1 to do so by the law ofselt-prcsciMtiion, hut there is no paliatiou tn^^use for a total abandonment of otvi's ?eif to w rong doing. This I say wUhout reference to any individual or party. The evil seems to be general in its nature, and the catiftic should he applied gone. ally. Last night a personal encounter took place between Mr A. F. II. Dukes and Mr. John \V, Fairy, in which the former was shot twice in the ri ght hau I, and the 1 attcr three limes, once ii; each thigh and once near the groin. Dr. Grissatt was called to Mr. Dukes and Dr. Ott to Mr. Putty. * Tbc aflair i- much to be deplored, as both ge itleinon are well known, and have large and respectable fami ly connections in our County.
