An Interchange of Population
We believe that Gen. Butler is
rght, tl lit mi interchange of popu
1: tion between the North nntl South
is what the country wants. Wo feel
Falisfkrl that it would he best for the
South.
The Be] uldicans are constantly
agitating the question of the nrgrn
rxrdus, and proposing the'r coloniza
tion to themselves in tho West.
11 ?y [ rofess their groat love for
these people, and their auxiety that
they n ay be transported to some
clime where they may enjoy their
political and social rights under their
own vine and iig tree, undisturbed
by the cruel peoph\ of the Sou'h,
and yet they never utter a word
about taking them to their own homes
in Ohio, Massachusetts or Indiana,
where they'might be elevated by the
influences of Northern civdizat ion.
and enjoy the practical effects of
Northern kindness an! philanthropy.
In faCt, when the colored people a
few months ago commenced to go
from Louisiana to Kansas, the pcop'e
of Wyondotte in that Northern
locality* held a town [meeting and
issued a proclamation signed by the
Mayor, the e'ergy, and all the promi
mnt citizens, forbidding these colored
emigrants'from landing.
Now in view of the fuel th it the
people of tho North brought the
slaves here, and have] the credit of
being their best friends, this conduct
is unkind and inconsistent.
We don't want them to leave, but
if I hey will, we think it best for
them to be scattered hum rig the white
people of the North than to be put
ofl in a territory tothemselves w lure,
unsupported by the e'evating influ
ences of" civilization, they may fall
back even from what they h'ive
gained fiom contact with Southern
Bociety.
We ; believe, tc o, that if any con
sider able number of them should go
North and their places be supplied
by the whites, it would he beneficial
to the South in throwing us inor e
upon our own resources, and mak
ing us more independent. As
long as we have the negro to depend
on for work, we are disposed to do too
little of it ourselves.
While the people oft ho Smith have
exhibited,wonderful pluck and ener
gy, since emancipation, in adapting
theninelves Lo tho situation / there is
no doubt that in this line the pecu
liar institution of tmr country has
been a great injury tons. Our chil
dren should be taught to work, but,
under tho citcumstauces it is difficult
to do so.
Another great advantage of the
interchange spoken of is the removal,
to a great'extent, of the cause of
sectionalism aim political strife.
Let she white and colored popula
ton of tin; country be more equally
distributed, and, besides the better
opportunity for tho effects of enlight
enment, the causes of disturbance
would cense to be localized.
Any sudden aud violent dislorti >n
ef 01 r industrial system would be
ur.wife, and we would recommend
nothing of the kind, but in as much
as there is a disposition for change
manifesting itself, ns the exodus fever
in the Southwest shows, we would
prefer to see it tnkc the direction in -
dicated in the views wo have here
expressed.
To The Colored People.
"We suppose that t lie advice of a
Democrat will be little heeded, but
we tay in all sincerity to the colored
people that their Wisest course is to
join the Democrats at ouce, and work
together with them for tho develop
inent of a common South. What
good has ceme to the masses of tho
colored people from their blind devo
tion to the Radical party wo are un
able to see. All they havo done has
been to enrich a few cunning leaders,
like <. !:.'!.? I-.Mlain find < orbin who

Ii Ving rasier lhan ever before.
We have heard predictions from
the best business men, bused upon
facts, ti nt tnore'prosperous times are
dawning" upon us. IVaoo reigns
throughout the land. Schools for
both in COS aie established, and the
teachers are regu'arly paid. The
hill for the establishment of a higher
grade ol education in the Slate has
been passed by the Democratic
Legislature, and by it equal advan
tages arc given to each race. The
Institution for the colored youth has
already been started in connection
with Claflin University, while that
for the whites in Columbia has uot
yet been established.
The laws nro fairly and justly
adminis tcred. What more is wanted ?
By keeping aloof from the Demo
cratic party the colored people de
prive themselves of their full share of
representation. The last Democratic
Convention was obliged to deviate
from the rule and give them ou the
ticket a ;u?-er representation than
their numbers ou the party roll en
titled them to. W\l are glad that
this was do he, but \\c would prefer to
see a larger enrollment of colored
men on the club list. They can't !
complain of the distribution of the
offices if they dont put their names
down on the party roll, ami act with
it.
We advise ihetu'to do this at once.
Our iuteri'Sls are the same, and we
should vote together. The South is
an agricultural community in which
the whites and blacks are equally
engnged and interested.
The North is a manufacturing com
nvunity. The interests of the two are
antagonistic. Through the F?deral
tariil'laws, fur instance, thcNorthern
manufaciu:cr is protected, while the
Southern agriculturist is taxed on
articles of living brought in from
forctgu cou.itries to such an extent
that we have to pay a groat deal
more than the value This makes
living harder for the. poor man.
When ilio "?.Luc i penp'o in rr?Torij
refuse to vote with the while people,
they-arc only, like Samson, bringing
the building down on all alike. They
arc voting toV help the New England
manufacturer, agai nsL themselves,
the tillers of the ground. They are
helping to l:ccp up the unjust pro
tective tar ill' of the North East, and
staving oil' Southern prosperity.
Why not stop this loolishucss at once,
and, trusting each other, lot us work
together f >r our common good.

The Republican Presidential
Cards.
The sudden collapse of the Re pub
lican opposition to the new army ap
propriation bill, it seems by advices
from Washington, develops the little
game on 'he political ch esfboard
that the Radical Presidential aspir
ants have been playing. It appears
that the matter has now become too
transparent to the administration,
and the tactics are somewhat modified.
Grant's friends thought by raising
the cry of "revolution," and exhihit
ing a necessity for a '"strong hand" to
j nip press the new rebellion that "the
man in the saddle" would be demand
ed as the party nominee. Therefore
the opposition and the vetoes. Hayes'
eyes however are opening to the plot,
and he sees too that the Republicans
can't afford to go before the country
in the coming campaign as the avow
ed champions ol bayonet rule. There
fore the change ol policy and Repub
lican back down in preparation for
the administration candidate against.
Grant, who is most likely to bo .John
Sherman.
Thu contest on the a ppropriation
bill has now gone glimmering in tho
presence of tho currency question.
And, with tho Green backers and
Democrats drawing votes against
each other, the Republicans will have
an advantage
The greatest wisdom of our leaders
is needed in shnping our policy on

Thin ia natura] in view oflho up
parent rapidity in whicli men in
nie renn tile ami other occupations
have accumulated furtuncs, and the
enticements which allure in this
direction. But wo are in a great
measure deceived by this fictitious
prosperity. The ratio of failures in
nicrcanti'c lifo to those in tho agri
cultural is almost as ten to one. The
(armer ma y rot make money as fast,
but he is happier and more inde
pendent. If he attends well to his
business there is a certainty about
his living, and a pleasure in tho sys
tem of his affairs which well repays
for all his hardships and solitude.
There is a freedom from many of the
harassing cares which attend almost
every other occupation.
Agriculture is the most honorable
and independent of employments, and
there is every reasons for old farmers
to be contented with their lot, and for
our young men instead of wandering
about largo cities in search of their
fortunes to go home, and stick to the
/arm.
Horrible Crime and Swift
Vengeance.
On last Sunday the body of a young
woman was found in the woods near
VcrnonsviMe in Spartaubun? County
I. cj ? J
shockingly mutilated. The remains
wire identified as those of Miss
Fiances Hcaton of a family favor
ably known in the County. The
appearances indicated that she had
been outraged under circumstances
of horrible cruc't.y, robbed, shot, and
her throat cut. Suspicion fell from
the first on Johu J. Moore a white
man living within a few,hundred
yards of the scene of the tragedy. His
reputation i very bad, being kn >wn
as a thief, a sharper and desperado,
fhe evidence tl gainst him gra lil ally
accumulated. So outraged was the
community that a body of 150 mount
ed men pr< cccded to the jail, and fin 1
ing him outside under a bridge guard
ed by the authorities, took him t > the
identical spot of the foul deed and
swung him to the first limb. Maj.

The Chester Trouble.
An unfortunate difficulty has arisen
in tho camp in Chester in reference
to the appointment of a Treasurer
and Auditor.
A primary election was held in
which nobody received a majority of
votes. There wero two gentlemen
however, who received a decided
plurality* Gov. Simpsou however, it
appears, passed them by in tho ap
pointment, and appointed others,
whether by the recommendation of
the Senator and Rep rcsentatives wo
are not informed.
Tho action of the Governoi has
caused great dissatisfaction.
The Columbia "Register" writes a
long editorial on the subject iu which
it advises acquiescence on the part of
the people.
We regret to sec these difference-*
arise, but to us it <ecms that tho wish
of the people should be the aim of
the Governor, and in this light we
think a new election is tho only way
to restore harmony, and settle tho
difficulty.
Changing Tune.
The Republicans who have been
boasting all this time over what they
sly'c(-I a first-class Democratic
hi under, have at lart come to find out
that they, and not the Democrats, were
the blunderers. The. tables have
turned, and the backing down is now
on their fide. All their bluster was
only to force the Democrats into a
disadvantageous position, but failing
iu this they now conceal their dis
appointment with ill grace.
As is to bo expected there is al
ways a large class of wise acres iu our
own ranks who join in the shout of
Democratic blunders.
One thing is very certain, if the
Democrats have been given to blun
ders, their blunders have taken a
very fotInnate direction in tho past
few years. They have managed )
blunder themselves into power.

Justice
We have nothing to say of Mr.
Tilden as a candidate for the Presi
dency. He may not be available,
and we want the man who can win.
But wc think the assertion that Mr.
Tilden "backed down'' in 187G, and
would no*, take the office to which the
people elected him, totally unjust. It
was not Mr. Tildeu, in our estimation,
but the Southern Democrits who
bucked down or compromised by
establishing the Electoral Commis
sion. Mr. Tilden has always acted
with becoming dignity, both before
and since the election.

As to Gen. HumpU n's views on
the appropriations, they are not
original with him. In the first cau
cus, after the first veto. Bayard,
Stephens) Speer and Tillman boldly
announced this doctrine, and they
were the only ones who did so, al
though silently backed up by others.
A little while ago, if I mistake not,
some of the very papers that denounc
ed Tillman as a "soaptail'' and "sub
mission ifet" arc now lauding Hampton
as a patriot. As Mr. Thurman says,
with a blast on hi* bugle, "this will
never do !'' If Hampton is wise how,
Tillman had wisdom in advance. If
