To win. in 1880 will require all the ^ ^ Fpgacity,. forbearance, and unity that the Democrats can muster. Republican leaders of the Maine stbrol have long seen that the keen ing alivo of.sectionnl antmontics an 1 the preventing of any friendly alli ances between the North and South ia the only hope of their party. On this .chord they are playing ?with n\nVvc!oii3 success With j.hrr: snicul hypocrisy they prate about peace, but they don't want the ?war ever to end, because, with the establishment of true harmony an d good feeling between the sections, comrs'the downfallufaheir dominion. Their battle cry is "a solid North" against, "a solid South," and every straw is used for its verification. Although' possessed' of' neither brains nor character, that child of for tune, VIvfo.tS. 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. Evc-ty thing points to him just now ns the standard-bearer of the Re pub i enns in the coming Presidential con test. Under .-.these circumstances what should be the Democratic tactics? In (.to* opinion a continuation of that spirit of moderation and broad statesmanship which will break down the charge of sectionalism on the part of the South, and show that il the South \i solid, it is solid for constitu tional liberty and not for see tional aggrandizement. ? In this connection we regret lo sec the quarrels which are going on be tween Northern and Southern Demo crats in ( engross which are giving so much encouragement lo our political opponent's. Democratic principles' are broad and national and not section al. As a proof of this we o.ily have to refer to iho 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. It is therefore not si cfionnl, and any tendency to make it so will result in our ruin. The South cannot elect a President ill one. If therefore we ali enate our Northern allies we con sign ourselves to tho certainty of all the horrors ofGrantism. By wisdom, concession ami 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 our candidate. Why abandon this policy ?Ooc3 any Southern aspirant crave tho ctnolu incuts of the Presidential barth ? Can we afford to allow such paltry considerations of private gain, or in- j vividual 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 people, the material blessings of free government und equal rights. In furtherance ol this object let us select, as our standard bearer that man whose name and character will be a living denial ol every charge of sectionalism, and will resto.'e the party to its true national reputation. Sweep at Home. In a i-ecent 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 belter turn their labors in this direc tion. IH'.tllis? We regret to learn that Mr. .T-?ies Johnson, of theFo-5-- "no WlU? lllke? sick wl-;,~ ^tendance upon the susc Court, and compelled to return to his home, died ou last Friday of pneumonia. We are also pained to receive the intelligence that Mr. N. P Jcfeuat, a most estimable citizen ol Lexing ton County, died on Wednesday, of the same disease. Again wc are called upon to note the ariivai, on Friday, of the re mains of Mr. Eugene Clover, a son of th" hite L. C. Clover, former Clerk of Court. He was pursuing his Studies in the up country at the time of his death. Although a mute, Mr. Clover was a young man of in telligence, and gave every promise of 11 USCful future' Tho liu??r.d -->.-. vices were performed at t'uj L.itli.: - ran Church. Mrs. Elizabeth, Staley, an old in habitant of this County, died on Mond and was buried on We.Lies day at i! s Presbyterian grave yard . She was an old laty and highly esteemed for her excel ent qualities. Her funeral look place at the 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 beiore his death. He was a member of the Hook and Ladder Company where he made many friends by his sterling, social qualities, an I faithfulness in the discharge of duty as a fireman . Revs. O. A. Darby and Manning Brown performed his funeral services at the Methodist Church on Monilay, where his many friends and his com 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 ping off on the road-side of life, and we are forcibly and daily reminded o{ the realities ofthat eternity which will sooner or later become the por tion oi each one ol us who survive. mm ? -mm? !Vatli;iiiicI l.otlgo?

Election in Branolivillo?A Nuootin-j Encounter. B ranch vim.e, S. C. Feb. 1, 1879. foliar Ormii/cbttry Times: Quito an exciting election was held hero yesterday for Intendant and Wardens. The I Ion. \\r. II. Rccdish was urged for the first posi tion by a number <>f bis friends, but declined to enter the field, as the color question was a port of the con test, which he deprecated with many other good citizens. Mr. John C. Reeves headed the Democratic and Mr. E. T. R. Siuoak tho Republican tickt t. The light was a very warm one indeed, a num ber of whiles Jiving openly espoused fmoak's side! At the. close ol the poll there wet>.soinc fifty-odd votes in the boxJrir\7?c3s of tho pol I list, which were'irau^Sit a':e>rdi!i g to law. This A?'ticr^^eloctiou was declared by the nhnager.s. Mr. Reeves and his tjcjket got in by a handsome majority. A notice of protest, however, was served upon tho board of managers, and a judi cial investigation mty bo the. out come of this day's work No one knows how the excess of votes got into the b ?>, and certain it is, that all law-abidiig citizens de plore such exhilyf^rV of disregard for the purity of our elective system. Where it will end, nLpneknows. It is an fugus growth which has taken root in our body poiiic, and m iy yet prove :? very Upas tree to our civi lization unless Irownen down ami dis countenanced by honorable tn.m. A man may be excused for disregarding his obligations for society now and again when prompte! to do so by tho Iftw of Belt-nrescjjfttiion but there is no paliation ijf^suse for a total abandonment of otv&sAelfto wrong doing. Tins I say without reference to any individual or party. The evil seems to be general in its nature, and the caustic should be app'icd gone. ally. Last nicht a personal encounter took place between Mr. A. F. IL Dukes and Mr. John SV, Fairy, in which the former was shot twice in the rijht hand, and the 1 attcr three limes, once if each thigh and once near the groin.

One word brings on another until reason is dethroned and passion bent on revenge, ta es her comely place and urges its vie.im with amazing recklessness to the commission of deeds he would blush to contemplate in his calmer mo ments.
