The responsioilily for bayonet election a rests with Hayes and the Republi cans, and with ibis wc can meet tho people in I8S0. Dr. Webster 3 Lsller ia tho PJ. Y. Tribune Wc nave before us some extracts from a leltcr written by Rev. Ahm/, i Webster, of Crangebu rg, to the above paper upon Oraugeburg allairs. Time and space forbids us ji-i now from discussing fully lh > ^natters touched upon, but we desire to call attention to some of the salient points. '1 be letter np? ns with the follow ing sentence: "Tlicy (tho colored people) feel most keenly that they :i re unjustly deprived of their politi i al rights." Now i' the colored people arc de prived of their political right?, that i is, the right tu v to and hold .? ': \ wc would a&k, i:i the first place, !i > ?:; is it that I>. (!. Frederick, a colored j man and a Itepublican, represents I Oiangeburg County in the Legisla ture, having been eloote 1 by white and colt i\d votes; and Ephraim C'u minings, another colore 1 man, is one of our County Commissioners. We wuiider it Vermont, Dr. Web ster's home, docs any bt tter ? Again, if tho colored people are deprived of their rights in South Carolina, how is it that they have twice carried Beaufort County since the election of Hampton;and the last time the R(-publican i\< mince. Mr. Colli,is, takes his place in the Dam ? era tic Senate against Col. 1*211 i >tt, tho Democratic nominee, an od tod bom red citizen uf Beaufort. We don't doubt but wh it thn D s n - 11 rats have adopted the best plans they can lo wiu if possible, but the Republicans did the same when they v.tio in power, and even worse, for we are told that testimony was taken be I ore the grand jury t-i tho effect that they stuffed the ball >t boxes in j 1870 in eiir C atnty. We know, to o, I that tho Mackey House, in order to j count Chamberlain in actually uu- I dertook the high-handod game of. throwing out Kdgofield a:i 1 some < ther Democratic County. Wo know, too, that the white peo ple have shown the greatest patience and consideration towards the colored people. Ever since the war they have followed them up and actually subjected themselves to itisu Its and indignities in order to get the oppor tunity to argue with thorn and per suade thorn. They would nol listen to them or allow them any share in the government unices they became scalawags. But logo on Rev. Webster says: "No one thing has been more disheartening to the ficcdmcn of this State than tho apparent combination to refuse an adequate remuneration for labor, Tho colored people are (dien lett uithout the means oi secur ing employment, even when this is the only means they have to live.'' I Mow this is not. so. There is no combination, and never has been any, | to regulato the price of labor iu Oraugeburg. This is a mutter that : is h it entirely to the .supply and de-1 maud. ?lten cotton plauters bid against each' other for laborers to j nidi an extent as to render the crop j unprofitable. Nor tlo wo helieve that wages uro any lower hero limn iu New England. If wo run g<-t the .statistics wc will? compare the wages of tho New Eng land factory girls, with those of our lahorers. We feel sure that tho re suit will he fa voluble to our laborers. But if 1 r, Webster is so concerned about the low wages of the colored man, is he setting a better example ? How much more does be pay to his In bt rei s than M r. Cnrnelsbu, or any other of bis Democratic neighbors? If (his is so it would si cm natural that the freed men would fleo^from tho cruel Democratic employers, and rush to Dr. Webster fir good wages and 1 ind treatment; at any ra'e they would never leave him to go to such employers. What are the facts / Again Dr. Webster speaks of the free linen fading into the hands ol tharpers, and losing their land and iho j ayments on it. This conveys the idea that the white people horo arc iddicicdto cheating lb.-in, or treat ing rlK-m tut1 inlly, Of course bad men will he found every where. But it cannot be said thai tho Southern people are mo in to the fiee bn ui. Tin.re is an niluchmeui between the old master and histd.-ivo which will never die out. Provisions are often made for tin in in the wills of their masters. One ease of this kind occurs lo us jutt new; thai of a lady of Port Motte willing or granting two acr- s of valuable lau 1 to a faithful old family servant. Such ca.;cs are numerous The mlc referred to can be found lc-dny in the Clerk's ? flice for record. Land loo is freely sold af reason able p rices ; t.d < u It i g credit, and cut up to suit |)U rob users. M my ofyhem are Incoming laud owners having raid for their land and doing well. Again, is Dr. Webster blind to tho fa t that since the inauguration of Dimocratic tule, the colored people have exactly equal school advantages with the while people who pay nearly all the (axes; and that the schools are better than during Radicalism, and they Would bo better still if it wer? not for paying the Radical debti' We refer him to what the Boston Ifwahl says about this. 'I l.e fact is, tin re would be content ment in this land, and htrmniy be tween the races wcra it not for agita tors. it is just such letters a^ llieso that iiillame tho Northern masses and keep a'ive the spirit of sectionalism which i-cenia to be the Republican Shibboleth. Tin* IraproVenit and Danger. It is impossible to c^ta^is-Ar^ condition at present with what it wa a few years ago without being struck with the difference. We do n it moan iIicj (Hffereiico in a political point of view alone, but materially as wall. So,far as politics are concerned the difference is very e\ide t. We wit ness no longer swarms of office-seek ers and loafers in our town or around the Court House. He have no more Radical conventions or political gambling houses, but everybody has gone to work. Nor is this all. Our material pros pet Is have brightened. Taxes are' low,and fo are the necessaries of lifo. Our fanners aic not in debt to the extent that they were. They are not using guanos or phosphates as in limes past, but are looking to their own manures. A spirit of economy has taken possession of the people which will surely lead to prosperity. Tho bubble of speculation has bceu piickcd, and every thing has settled upon a so'id basts. Wit!) ind strv and economy we belie' c a good time is ah* id. There is a danger however, that we should guard against. While a rest from politics is pleasant we should not fall into a state of apath y and indifference on this subject. A great di al of the prosperity of a coun try depend/ upon its government. If however, by indifference to tho suf frage we allow the government to fall into bad hands wo arc injuring our neighbors as well as ourselves. The suffrage is a precious boon which every citizen howover humblo or great uhouhl exercise with fidelity and a .-en.se of responsibility. Indiffercuco to it is fraught with danger lo our liberties. . - 11 mm- ??>??????? ? Free Schools. Although wo note so littlo appre ciation among the colored people at home for tho work which tho Demo crats arc doing for all, black as well as white, it is gratifiying to read the following from the Boston ?'Herald" in reference to our free schools ; j "B aiiug in mind that llio colored j people were, und uro yet, taxpayers to i only a slight extent, it will be seen that the property owners of the ?South aro entitled to groat credit for tho nlu* ciity with which the) have consented tu the tuppoit office schools for both rue, s.-' It was saitl in tho days of Rvpubli enn eumpremncy that if the Demo crats obtained |)owcrthey would shut up tho schools against tho blacks. It is now practically demonstrated and the negroes know that this is a Radi cal lie.# While the free school system is not as perfect and thorough as wo hope to have if, it is far better than under Republican rule, and every body knows that black and white tint re equally the advantages, regard less of the fact that the whitej pay nearly all tho taxes which support tho schools, The Latest from the Front The Democratic caucus in Wash ington met on Tu sday and after a full and, in the main, harmonious consultation, decided to substitute for the section tacked on to the Appro priation Ri 1 which Hayes vetoed the following : "Section G. That no money appro priated by this act'is appropriate 1 or shall bo paid for the subsistence, equipment, transportation or com pensation ol any pal' o. the army of tin; United Slut! s to be used as a police force to keep the peace at the po'ls at any election held Within any State" Two other bills were a'so ordo cd | j to be prepared, the full text of which j we have not the space to gi\e this week.
