' Ko riior Hampton, we notice, is
repotted as saying that the pcop.o <;f
South Cnii in.a, and of tlic South
gtneially, lliink that Mio Appropria
tion bills, and partieulatlv the Army
bill, ought to be passed. We respect
fcuator Hampton's opinions, hut, in
this instance, wo tire louiideul he
misjudges the people. There ii a

they knew that, bad su li a policy hs J

not have been elected Governor, \

This is very t i i.e. 'lie piop'c

republicans and compromises of
high political p.iucrplo have, invari

gotten that, had tho "News anil

2870, General liumpton would not

If wo estrnngo these powerful allies
and thereby bring about a "solid

the Republican party and throw our
selves back jij?t. where we were tbre-j
years ago. The Southern Stale * cm
uot elect a President nor control
Congress by themselves, an I unless

Hampton and llutler wo esteem as 1
Bouud. At any rate wo think tlt.it
they have ihc beat opportunities of
judging, and wc bt lievc that they are |
acting fur the best interest of the
pa rty.
It is true, ns is always the case,
some individual speakers have in the
excitement of del ate, let fall injudi
ci< us ( xpie-.-Ions, but these are in no
way binding upon the party. The
responsioilily for bayonet election a

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

iiillame tho Northern masses and

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.

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.
