The organization of an independ ent movement in Marlboro is excit ing much comment and criticism at this time, as well it might, when it is considered that there is no surer way of disintegrating the Democratic party. We know nothing nf the causes or grievances which have led to this movement. We hear much of rings aud cliques. The Broad street clique and the State House clique is a by word every where. Now we say most emphatically, if such cliques exist, they are a burning shame and dis grace, and ought to be crushed out forever by the bold and free hand of patriotism. But, gent leinen of .Marl boro, we say, with equal emphasis, that this purification should never be attempted out side of the Democratic party. If you do, Samson like, you pull clown the walls of the temple upon all alike, and destroy (he whole fabric of good government. We do not say that you are unjust in your complaints, and we recognize that respectable citizens have engaged in your movement, but we say that you are wrong in the method of your remedy. Fight cliques aud crush our rings of course, hul don't go out side of the party lo do it. The remedy for all of these ills, which are grievous and hard to be borne we admit, seems to our mind to be (dear and legitimate. It eon sists in bold and free agitation and argument within our own ranks, be fore the decision is made by Convcn tion or Primary, bill when the verdict of the party is rendered by a majority of its members, it becomes every true Democrat to acquiesce freely and gracefully. This spirit was magnificently manifested in the late State Convcn tion, and by none more brilliantly than the. gallant Sheppard of Edge field. It is better and wiser lo bear the ills complained of, than to rush into others of greater magnitude. We. all have equal chances of mould ing the opinions of our fellow-men, and if we fail to bring them to onr way of thinking, or to open their eyes to the truth, it is better to sub mit than to become desperate. Gen. Gary was the first man In South Carolina who nominated Gen. Hancock for President, X STRONG POINT. The great strength of Hancock's nomination consists in the fact that he cannot be represented as the can didate ol* t he South. Bayard was the choice of the South, and was pressed forward by almost all the Southern journals. The only clue that the Northern IV diesis can have is, that Hampton got up in the Convention, and pledg ed for him the vote of the Solid Soul h, hut this individual blunder will not weigh much. II would have been best, in our estimation,if not a South eru man had said a word in his he half, hut still the fact is undeniable that Hay a I'd was the Southern candi date from first to last,and it will be di Die u 11, in spite of Hampton's speech, to put this coloring on the Demo cratic, nominee. AN UGLY OEVELOPM ENT. It has just come lo light that a large discrepancy exists in the amount of the bills of the Hank of the State filed in the office of ('ol. J. C. ('cut, who was appointed a special Commissioner in the matter. Mr. .lames Laughlin, Col. Coit's clerk, certified to each package as it was counted,and the strong suspicion and accusation is, that he has tampered with the packages. The defalcation is considerable, and Laughlin has been committed to jail in tin- failure to give boud for $50,000. Laughlin asserts his innocence. The matter also involves the charge of tin pardon able carelessness, if nothing more, against Col. Coit, which is nil fort II unto, it? he has been unanimously nominated on the Democratic ticket for Comptroller General. The ease will however ho judicial iy investigated, and the guilt be placed where it properly belongs. A VICTIM OF TIIE (OHE. On Tuesday at 2 o'clock a duel was fought at Du Hose's Bridge in Darlington County between ('ol. K. I*. C. ( ash cd' ( hesterlield and ("ol. Win. M. Shannon of Cainden, in which the latter was instantly killed. Col. Shannon fired lirst, the ball striking the ground near < 'ol. ( ash'-, feet. ( ol. ( ash then fired, the ball passing through Col. Shannon's heart, and death was instantaneous. The affair has c ast a gloom over the whole community. The difficulty grew out of a ease- in Court against Mrs. ( ash. in which Col. Shannon was one of t he lawyers, and il will be remembered by the public that sov oral duels had prev iously been at tempted out of this unfortunate case. To use the words of the "News and Courier.'' "a sweeter gentleman than Col. Shannon, one more polish ed and refined, was not to be found in South Carolina." lie was a nm sistcnt member of the Episcopal Church, but was doubtless driven to the duel by t he severity of t he at tacks of his adversary. A CYCLONE IN COLUMBIA. (>:: Monday, about J o'clock, this city was visited by a dreadful rain, wind and hail storm, the effect, of which were manifested principally at the pendentiary. The entire third ston of niiii hincry hall attached to this institution was swept away there being at the same time 23? eon vicls, comprising men women and children in I lie second story cd' the building. Panic stricken, a great number of these- leaped from the windows (o the ground, resulting in various injuries, some having their legs broken, anel others injured in \ arious ways. The storm came up so suddenly that no warning was given. Other damages of less extent lire reported in other purls of the city. During the storm lit the penitentiary, there was ample op|?ort unity for t he prison eis to escape, but no attempt was made. As soon ns the fury subsided. Col. I.ipscomh arranged the guards to prevent escape. COL. SHANNON'S FPNKKAL. The body of Col. Shannon reached his home' on Monday evening. The town of Camden is said to be in mourning, and deep sympathy is felt for the family of the deceased in their sore alllic lion. All express confi dence in the rec titude* of ('ol. Shan non's motives. An immense con course of people followed the body lo its last resting place, and the fee-ling manifested testified to the love and admiration which w:;s held for the dee-eased in his own home. mmmmammamfmammmmm ANOTHER DUEL. It is rumored that the Shannon ('ash quarrel is not vet ended but that the sons of the principals will continue the matter. Young Shan non is said to be pledged to avenge bis lather's dealh. DEATH OF DR. BLAND. Dr. Bland, of lidgclicld, who was shot by A. A. Clisby, Esq.. at the municipal election in that town in last April, died from t he effects of the wound on Monday, in the full triumph of a gospel faith, lie was buried in the Baptist Church yard, his funeral discourse being preached by Rev. YV. T. Hundley, in the pres ence of a large concourse of people than had ever assembled on a pre vious occasion of the kind in the vil lage. The ceremony was very im posing and affecting. THE DIGNITY OF THE LAW. The jury of inquest over the body of Col. Win. M. Shannon rendered the verdict "that he came to his death from a pistol shot wound, said pistol being tired by E. B. ('. ('ash." In accordance with this verdict 'Coro ner (ioodalc immediately issued a warrant for the arrest of Col. ('ash which has been transmitted to the SheriH'of < 'hesterlicld (bounty for oxe cation. Such is the verdict of public opinion that it is believed in this case that the dignity of the law will be strict ly maintained. Let this be done with unfaltering hand and the public interest will be protected. ?KKICK < 'LKBK Col S'CII.. July 0, I SSO.
