TilUUSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1881.
AHE WK HL1X1) i ~
We regret very much to notice by
publications iu the A' res <n/</ Kurier
from different scctiotis of the slate
that there is a sentiment against im
migration How extended this sen
timent is we are unable to say, but it
corroborates exactly, as farjas it goes,
what the Northern people say of us
thai wo don't want strangers to come
in our midst. In one of the extracts
alluded to the author is positively op
posed to Immigration, and asks if our
own increase will not be suilicient to
build up our waste places. We don't
believe that this sentiment is general
It is so narrow thai it must l>c limit
ed to. a very small circle. Still, the
apathy of those who think differently,
keeps us in a comparatively stagnant
stale- Can any o::c who has witness
ed the election scenes in the lower
tier of Counties in one .--tale serious
iy say that we don't need immigra
tion V Does the man who thinks that
the natural increase of our race will
lie suilicient to develop our resources
ever realize that the colored rauo is
increasing in this way faster than
the whites? 11* our slate is to be de
livered over to such a sentiment as
this, South Carolina would be a dark
place to live in in the future, and we
would speedily seek a better and. safer
home. Hut we cannot think thai
such is the case. Immigration alone
can save us. and the sooner we rea
lize it the better. It is not thcimmi
gratibn of laborers we want, but of
laud owners, who will become one of
US, and whose interest iu good gov
eminent will be identified with our
own. We look at this matter too
much with an eye to present gain, in
stead of future safety. It is the po
litical question, and not the agricul
tural one. which now agitates us?
ami that man who is so immersed in
the scramble for the almighty dollar
thai lie can't see it, is blind to the
best interest of our people.
TIIK COLORED PEOPLE.
Tho colored people present an enig
ma even to Ihos? who mow '.hem i est
As a inn sa, I hey are qiiici and mio
tensive, and as lahoters the cannot lr.1
excelled, hi business relations they
cooperate with the white people, find
are kind and accommodating in their
depositions. Kverv thing works
smoothly until the subject of politics
comes up. Then they are in direct
opposition. Retwoen elections there
is entire harinoiiv, but so soon as
election day commences to roll around
thi'discordance begins. They grow
sullen and don't wish to be talked to.
Their minds are made up and they
will listen to no argument, except
from the Radical leaders who have
complete possession of their ear.
When they have invc.sf men's to make
or desire adv ice they go to their old
inn.,; ei s. but when they go to the polls
as a race they vote directly against
the whites. The}* are blind infatua
ted followers of the Radical party if
it carries them to ruin. With a kind
of political religioiM fanaticism, th y
will vote for a rogue if lie is on the
Republican ticket in preference to tin
honest m m on the Hemocratic ticket.
They don't 16 >'.. at the ticket they
vole, as a lYoeaian would, tu ither
knowing nor caring who is up m ii
so that it is I be blue backed Republi
can t icket. They don't icnlizc for a
moment that it is to the interest of
the South for the whites and blacks
to vote together. The whites have
made every advance towards them,
a mi all their prollers have been rejec
led. They refuse to harmonize. Re
conciliation seeiiH to be farther oil
how than it ever has been. All ol
this is the result of the teaching ol
i ||}??-? seekers t'o whom therecon cilin
.ion of the races would be a death
i low as it would, dep -Vi them of Ihcii
iivocatibtn ?Vh'jf'itjr a Gobi r and

MACKEY'S MUHT.
K. NY. .M. Mnekny war, (u Orange*
lung on Monday taking testimony
in, his Congressional eon tost ease
against O'Connor. M. I. Browning
and A. C. Dibble Ksqs., -'took charge
of Mr. O'Connor's interest. The
following of Maekav's witnesses were
examined on Monday: Nestor
Curry of Fogle's poll, II. D.Edwards,
school teacher, near Zeigler's; K. M.
Gray, school teat her, near Avers1;
M. K. Wilkinson, school teacher,
Kasterlin's; IS. F. Aiken, Jamison;
.Johnson, tin- post master of ('<('> who
was taken up and put in jail last
we*k for forgery: d. G. Moore Jr.,
Lewisvillc; Bcnj. Moullin, Ft. Motte.
The testimony was the old stereo
typed story, fair elections at the
polls thrown out, and repeating or
excessive voting elsewhere.
The examination was continued on
Tuesday. Some of the more noted
wit ucsses were then examined, a mong
them the lucky Straker who is now
luxuriating iii a fat''V'1 oral oilicc.
The most notable event of this day
was the opening ofthc famous miss
ing or trav? Hing box, said to be that,
of Bookhart's poll. The history of
this box i.s rather interesting. In
the fust place, after tin- election, in
stead of coming to the Board of Cottii
t v Canvassers in the regular way, it
got into the hands of Commissioner
Laihrop, who informed the Hoard
thai he had it and was ready lode
liver it up. Tho Board, however, did
not see lit to take it in this irregular
way. It therefore remained with
Mr. LatItrop, who, :iscounsel for the
Radical Candidates, carried it w ith
him in company with these candi
dates on the Railroad to Columbia to
tlii' meeting of the State ('ntivn> scrs.
In this city it took the rounds of the
I hoarding houses and to the Slate
Mouse and finally found its way hack
to Orangeburg. From this circum
stance it is styled the travelling box.
.On Tuesday the unusual proceeding
was undertaken by order of Maekey
of opening this box, which, besides
its peregrinations, was left, sii.ee i'.
returu from Columbia, in Mr. I .at It
ropsolllee, the rendezvous of Mein
lire, Webster, Garlaeh el. rutmi.
Maekey acted as Chairman and hath
top as Canvasser, and the duo count
ed ihr votes of this purported Book
hart box,'n::d declared iIis election
! for tin ?ood people of t! ai conimiiui
| ly. 'i heir doelnir.tion wits '21:! lie
publican am! CO Democratic vote.-.
Still untre singular yet, Maekoy gave
directions to his clerk, after this eon t.
ling, to pill ll esc voles in a package
and send them to Congress with his*
ccr'.il'n ate. This is certainly a hov
e! prt eedure.
THE WRONG NAME.
We see some of the papers styling
tin' meeting of the whites or Denn,
era Im in Greenvill? to coalesce with
the negroe." for good govern incut "a
new depart ur.i". This rounds <{iiccr
to us tlown iii Orangeburg. We
have been at litis "new tlepnrture"
scheme tlown here for many year.-,
j and we are doing less at it now than
we did a( the beginning. So complete
has been Lite failure tint the mos',
conservative men, the men who have
been making the g/enlrsl tttlva* c s
have given Up in despair, '' he col
orcd people as a mass have refused
every oiler and concession of the
whites. We have oUered to gi\e
them on our ticket the representation
their numbers entittle them to, and
they have r< I'll seil all. It therefore
seems very strange it* us to speak of
this thing as a "new departure-"

An interesting debate lias taken
place in Congress on Senator Log
an's bill for the pensioning of Geti.
Grant. Senators Hay a rd and Hill ]
take the very sensible | ositiou that
the bill is objectionable on the ground
of its being a special measure, aud
they are opposed to special legisla
tion on this subject. The Democrats
favor a general bill granting pensions
for life for all Ex-Presidents,under
which ('rant would come in for his
share, but they are not disposed to
provide a special dish for him alone.
A most foul and brutal outrage and
murder was committed near Prosper
ity S. C. last Wednesday on the per
son of Miss Bessie Werts, daughter
of Mr. William Werts, a beautiful
and estimable young lady about
twenty two years ol age. The dia
bolical deed was done by two black
licnds by the name of Dave Spear
man and Sam Pair who have since
been righteously hanged, under the
operation of lynch law, to the nearest
limb.
The word love, in one of the
Indian dialects, is chemlcadamough

fact that Indians never have but one

leadcnioughkonagegnger affairs at
once.
Hen. Hill says, in Congress, in Iiis
speech on the Grant Pension bill,
that Grant is a Republican corn r

the Republican party must take care
of his funeral.
