kTho Negro.
A proposition has been made by a
liill now pending its passage through
Congress to deal with the Negro race
after the same manner which lid the
progressive whites of the troublesome
Jndians. It was well enough in 1808
Mien the colored man promised to
bo o power in the hands of the lie
publican parly, to saddle him with all
the rights and privileges of a citizen.
His ignorance was never once consul
-ered a fruitful source of political cor
luplion,or his inexperience a clog in
flic wheels of government, nor cveu
his vicious habits e. hindrance to civ
ilization, while the possessor of these
unfortunate qualifications was a will
ing tool in a cunning master's hands.
There was no dream of curtailing his
rights or abridging his privileges
*hen the unsuspecting colored man.
snouted his merriest huzzas ot re
joiced over the success of the while
carpetbaggers' cunning, as if the
-All wise rider of Heaven and earth
lind issued a proclamation that the
Millennium had come. There was
indeed no thought of colonizing the
dear colored people in the far, barren
wilds of the West, so long as they
were willing to remain the dupes ol
political trickery or the willing vic
tims of Radical greed.
How vain to think no change
would come. To-day, the kingly- em
blems of nuthoritj' and power are
passing away, and the once domi
nant party sees rum in the near fu
ture. The crown rests not easily
upon the brow of the Republican
monarch ; tho gilded wand has lost
its magical influence in the hand of
Radical leaders, and the dear colored
?people, who blessed the carpet-bag
ger yesterday as a protector, curses
him to-day as a national robber.
The experience of fourteen years of
freedom and eight of Radical ride have
shown the negro to be an optcr schol
ar than the world imagined?a man
of 'bought and a fair amount of pol it
ical sagacity who bids- fair to use the
ballot with some degiee of discretion.
The reformation at the South, he
gun in Georgia and consummated in
South Carolina and Louisiana at the
last election, proves that a change
has come over the colored people,
that they prefer honesty to dishones
ty, and that they will elect native
?Citizens for ollicc rather than import
ed political ail venturers. The cry ol
Union and Liberty, slavery ami the
.lash, forty acres and a mule, nor tin
hypocritical cant of the politico gos
pel preachers, can never successfully
stem the tide which is certainly drill
ing the colored race into the Demo
cratic party. This section of our
great nation is destined to be con
trolled by the intelligence of tin
Southern white man and the political
power of the Southern negro?I he
Liberia Exodus and Western Colour
2ation scheme to the contrary not
withstanding. A judicious use of the
advantage ground, which the Demo
cratic party now occupies, will enable
the Sonth to perpetuate her control
over the States by uniting her citizens
upon such a community of interest as
will baflle every effort to separate
them.

Columbia Water Power.
Tho Columbia Canal, which for the
last few years has attracted the at
tention of our people and many of
other sections, has again been exam
ined with a view of ascertaining what
is possible to be done in the way of
developing this interest of the Stale
and utilizing the immense power so
long running to waste. Mr. 1). M.
Thompson, a mill engineer from
Providence, R. I., is now at tho capi
tal foT the above purpose, and his In
vestigations have been most satisfac
tory and encouraging. The success
ful establishment of cotton mills here
will not only be of direct and and im
mediate ndvnntrgo to (he city of Co
?rnnbia, but would attract tho at ten
lion of capitalists to Hie vast amount
of water power thoughout our State,
ibid bring to us a class of people
whom we arc anxious to welcome in
our midst?a class that will have
something olse to Ihink of besides
polities and cilice seeking. Hereto
fore we have been cursed with the
-cum of creation?the poison of every
liscascd society, ill tho shape of po
?ilieal adventurers, pulpit hypocrites,
Radical teachers and United Slates
olllco holders who haled tllo Sou'.h
and her pec pie wilh all the vim their
venomous hearts'couhl muster. Such
men have poisoned our society, have
divided our citizens, ?snve excited
race hatred, and have engendered
sectional strife. Such men, conic
from where they may, wc never want
ed among us and never will. Hut
the hospitality of every South Caroli
na home and the welcome of every
South Carolina heart arc extended?
cordially extended lo ovev? man who
comes among us to dcvelopc our re
sources, to advance the prosperity of
the State, to aid in reconciling the
difference between our people, and to
J build up our material prosperity by
advancing his own interest. Such'a
class wc need and will welcome, and
I it is to be hoped Unit the report of
Mr. Thompson will go far toward in
ducing this most desirable class of
immigrants to our Slate. Wc have
natural resources abundant to ctnp'.oy
the talent and consume the industiy
'of thousands of good people but not
an inch of land for political Radical
vipers.
Sandy Keitts's Testimony.
We, as Democrats, arc not asham
ed of the truth "let it come from what
quarter it may, nor are we disposed
to dodge the issues to which the cir
cumstances of the last election gave
prominence in the eyes of the world ;
but we do object to our cause being
brought lo judgment upon the evi
dence ol such a man as the one whose
name heads this article. The records
of our courts show that Sandy Keilt
was arrested^ for murder and turned
Slate's evidence only to save bin self
a certain conviction of the crime.
Public opinion charges him with col
lecting money under false pretences,
on account of which he is now ab
senting himself from this communi
ty. The general character, tho man
bears in the neighborhood's any thing
but that of an honest and uiri^h"
citizen, lo say nothing of his bulldoz
ing behavior on the day of election,
and his riotous conduct upon several
subsequent oceasione. When such a
1 man dares to get upon the stand and
swear that he saw "Mr. Tom Alber
gotti picking up Democratic tickets
from the table and shilling them into
the box" it is time to nail the lie to
the counter, and to brand its author
wilh perjury, a crime no one ever
committed more unblushingly than
this trad nccr of the good name of a
worthy citizen. When such a man,
instigated doubtless by a higher in
telligence than his own and for po
litical purposes, asserts that he is
afraid to come back to Orangeburg
"because men like Mike Salley and
others were just low enough to kill
hiX," il is time such mean spite and
contemptible hatred be rebuked ; and
the power, that uses an ignorant and
worthless negro as a tool to perpetu
ate race hatred in the breast of our
colored Citizen?, be made to know
that such conduct will not longer he
federated. Indeed the entire testi
mony of this witness before the Tell
er Committee is nothing but a tissue
of falsehoods from beginning to end.]
There arc two sides to every otics
? ion, .is the Teller Committee learned
from its recent investigation of the
South Carolina election case. There
are also I wo :<:des to tho Teller Com
mittee as v* e will learn when the vote
stands fl to 2 as stubbornly as the
famous {doctoral Committee of 8 to 7.
A Model Farmor.
Mr. John G. ?rnzedl, who farms
about twelve miles below Columbia,
in Riehlnnd county, has set an exam
ple lo all who arc in the habit of
thinking that fanning does not pay.
Last year he inn three plows, tend"
ing about eighty.five acres, and he
made sullicient provision to keep his
family a year and a considerable
quantity to sell, both of grain and bn-|
|COn. His farm yielded him ten bales
of cotton, about 700 bushels of corn
and peas, und any quantity of rough
food lor stock, such as fodder, pen
vines, &c, besides n good many chu
fas, not measured ; nlso, about 1/iO
bushels of potatoes. His wife raised
sixly turkeys and a great many
chickens, of which latter she sohl S2?
or $30 worth. He attributes his suc
cess to the fact that ho and his two
sons did their own plowing, worked
early and late, or, as he expressed it
they "were at work when the whip
poorwills hollered in the morning and
when the whippoorwills hollered in
the evening," and, finally, they ab
stained from intoxicating liquor.? Co

Shooting at a riailroadi Conductor.
Saturday evening, at a station on
the Wilmington, Columbia & Angus
la Railroad, a negro got on board the
train, bound for Florence. When
tho conductor, Captain John Gat lord,
came around to collect tickets, ho en
countered this negro, silling comfort
ably in the second class coach. The
conductor asked for his ticket, but he
could not produce one and refused to
to pay any passage money. Captain
Gailord, of course, put the negro off
the train. As soon as the negro
reached the ground he pulled out a
pistol and lired three times at the
conductor, as the train was moving
oil. but neither of Ihe bullets hit its
mark. Chptain Gailord took stops
to have the rascal arrested.? Wil

Alfred Duller, who it will be remem
bered trotted olf to Charleston at the
bidding of Maekey, that he might
contribute his mite of testimony
against the respectable people of this
county, it is thought raised the "wind"
in a peculiar way. His wife, only a
few days before the reception of the
telegram, had got her knee broken by
the kick of a horse, which of course)
disabled her from work, and since
then has been in bed. Alfred being
out ol money, went to many of our
citizens ami appealed for the loan of
money with which to buy provisions
for his sick wife. Out of sympathy
some loaned him a dollar, other fifty
j cents, and so on, promising each one
that he would pay him next week.

With hearts bowed in sadness we
make this record of ihe deatli of one
whom we bad learned to dove. Indeed
none know JlMMIK bill to love hiin. Just
budding into manhood and endowed by
nut uro with a lino person which he'
adorned with moral and social qualities
ol a-'l.igh order, he gathered ab.uu him
a large and increasing circle ol Irieuda,
and gave promise ol ? long, useful ami
honorable career. But alas! tor human
hopes; upon him whom friends ml mi red
aii.I lavished words of praise; upon him
who was the centre around which play

and upon whom hid loud mother looked
wi:ii especial pride ami joy ? even upon

a rich legacy in the example of his short

character wus beautiful to behold. His
devotion to his widowed mother, was re
marked by ail who knew him in his
home life. His constant stud) was bow
best to please and .-eive her.
Her los>* is truly irreparable. As a
brother his tender care and love was ever
and anon finding expression in deeds ami
words, the memory ol which will be em
balmed in the tears of his brother and
sisters.
As a man und neighbor hin character
was not in the least less resplendent,
by his courteous demeanor and honora
ble dealing he made many linn friends,
ami left them an example "by the which

His body has been committed to its

Ood who gave It, bis memory is preci
