Senator Bayard. Tim political issues herptoforc cx iqlpig between, the two contei^ding parties qf the cojpntry being likely to be absorbed into the one great (ines tion of Imperialism, as represented by Giant ami his supporters, against q Copstitqtiqnal Republic, of which the Democratic party is the exponent,, it becomes necessary in the approach ing campaign for the Democracy to put in the field a candidate for the I Presidency of irreproachable eharap I ter and of definitely pjqnoiinced views 'in faypr of tl;p Constitution as it is. The cause of the Constitution, more than ever before, should be the cause of the parly, and to defend it either against usurpation of power on the part of ambitious |pai*.erQ or against direct overthrow by any'man or fac tion, should be its imperative duty. 1 Such a course would bring to the par ty's support thousands, of good men in Ibo North and West, even from among the Republicans, who revere the system of government inaugurat ed by our forefathers and will earn estly oppose any effort to destroy it. In every section of the country there are a number of voters who affiliate with no party but arc true to the gov ernment and will not hesitate to throw nil their influence with the Democracy on the side of the Consti tution and the laws. These inde pendent voters will not give th^ir sup port to Gen. Grant under the issues bis friends have made. Indeed every ninn at the North, who does not en tertain the absurd idea that the South is still in rebeilioh and needs to be kept under further probation by the government, will espouse the cause of the Constitution, if "ft candidate ol the proper type, pure in character and of unfjnestioqed statesmanship, he nominated to oppoae the ultra views of the extreme Republicans. Who can meet the requirements? becomes a question of the first impor tance to the country at this time. It is evident that no politician, Ijjte Mr. Tilden, can ; or any man whoBC sple qualification is'S sectional popularity like Oov. Seymour ; or any one whose only chance of success depends upon any single noble act, howevpr worth) , like Judge Fields ; or one who claims ilie candidacy because of the section in which he h ppens to live, like Mr. Thurmau. Such men will do for or dinary occasions; but in a crisis like this, when the very existence of the government itself is held in noise, the country }ooks beyond the individual nudthu locality fur qualifications of liberal statesmanship, which represent ii) themselves the principles of a J{e publican government. In no man can these great principles 1)0 found more completely embodied than in l)>e per. son of Senator Bayard, of Delaware. He stands as the only American statesman agnlnst whom no charges can be brought save his peace ppceeh at Dover in 1801, which was the enunciation of Beiilimenls entertained by foil r-fff lbs of the honest slates men of thai day, Mr. Linpoln not except ed. Outside of his ppljlicul views, he represents a financial policy popular with the capitalists of the North, and will command their support as cer tainly as any other man in the conn try. The record shows hitn a<; a man of peace and a Jover of libeity, ujid as a statesman vyjio can lisp above parly influences, wljen they untago: nize the interest gf the entire people. When the political issue is not com plex but simple likp that of Imperial ism against the Republic, a singjc act, or a single fault loses its sign j li ounce in the greater qualifications of high statesmanship, liberal views and purity of character. To these the citizens Iftok and upon these success in the next carppnign hinges. The question of availability can scarcely be conpidp/ etl here. No one thought that frpm the rocq-d of Gen. Hampton, he could by any possible means be made available as a candi date for the Governorship of South Carolina in 1870. Yet, with his ante cedents brought prominently before .tjie people, on the simple issue of an honest government ngqiust a dishon est ane, bo wns elected Py nn over whelming vote. Senator Bayard is as available ns a candidate for tho Presidency of the United States in 1880, as Gen. Hampton was for the Governorship .of South Carolina in 187fi, and if nominated will as cer tniply be elected; The salvation ol ihe Stalo was accomplished in the one by the defeat of Chamberlain ; so will the salvation of thp nation he. ac complished in the other by the defeat of Grant. The War on tho Gamblers. The authorities of Charleston have been thoroughly aroused to the im portance of at least checking this great evil, and ate waging a relent less war on tho many gambling dens that infest the city. This evil exists Dot only in Charleston but tuen who ply the devilish art may be found in eyery town throughout the country making n disreputable living on the downfall of their fellow men. It is known that combinations are formed by professional gamblers, who go sys tematically to work honoring the un wary into their dens and then lleece them of every cent they possess. To increase the enormity of the crime, the inveigling is not confined to men, but youths am} eyen little' boys arc omi|P the innocent victims of their wicked machinations. If there'bc any spccies,of stealing more criminal than another ; or any tfeprpdaljpn upon a community more appalling in its ef fects than another ;or any calling more degrading thai) qnplher, that stealing, depredation and calling is tjip gam blers. It is the duty of every jjqnesl man and virtuous woman tp put it down by any and, eycry legitimate means within reach. No license should be granted for the keeping of any such establishment, ljjetter suffer a town to become impoverished than to raise money at the expense of the charac ter of the community and the good morals of its young men and boys. We hope the day is not distant when there sffall not be n gambling; den found In tile whole country. Geo. W. Williams. Our readers havo scared)' forgot ten the excitcmcut caused in financial circles by the announcement one year ago of the suspension of the house of Williams, Birnie Co., of New York. In a public statement Mr. Willjaras charged the necessity for this step upon the unwarranted use by Mr. Birnie of bonds sent to the firm ; and for ins own protection he resolved Up entpr trpon the course of conduct which subjected him to severe criliplsm by the press and pub lic. A series of law suits were at once instituted by the New York partner as rnueh to overwhelm Mr. Williams in inextricable trqubles as to defend himeelf from unjust charges. The first and, it is said, the most important of these suits was fried two necks ago in Charleston, and the unanjmous verdict of thp jury, after ten minutes consultation, was given ,n fRVOr ?f Mr- Williams and completely exonerates hint from all blame but justifies him in the course of conduct pursued. The evi dence taken both in New York and Charleston sJiowq M^ r. Birnie to have been both treacherous and corrupt in his management ol the business of the firm. Tirnber Cullers, In connection with a cnl| for a Timber Cutler's Convention tq throw around this interest the protection its importance demands, it is suggested jn the Colfefon D'V^P?rqt llj/jt 15the principles and influence" of the Grunge be extended to the timber business. The relationship existing betwoen this and the agricultural inter ests i? so intimate, because those en gaged in the further must iicpcssariiy Imj concerned in the latter, that the suggestion seems to lie not only rpn sonablc hut absolutely necessary. Orangehurg County has as large an interest in this business as our sister county, aw) tjic same necessity for protection exists here as in Collcton. In order that there may be concert of action on the part of all concerned, we call the attention of our timber get ters to the matter. To ttnjle the two interests in the Grange organization may work for the mutual benefit of both by increasing its influence and securing a better protection to the farming and timber interest. Let the matter recciye thp necessary consid eration. A Fallen Editor. Dr. Luther It. Dickinson, editor and proprietor of the Planter and Farmer, published at Bichmond, Vn., has been detected in tho comnjissior; of forgeries through a term of two years upon the firm of Messrs. Jeter & Dickinson, of the Religious Herald, Rev. Dr. Geo. B. Taylor, Baptist Missionary to Rome, and Rev. Chas. p. Taylor, of North Carolina. This dishonctl practice might have been successfully conducted indefinitely hail it not been for tho death of Dr. Jeter, which necessitated a settlement of his nffnirs. Knowing that an qx: posurc was inevitable, Dr. Dickinson left Richmond and has not been heard fiom since. There is nothing more sad than the fall of a man supposed to be beyond the shadow of suspicion. I From the family connection of Dr. Dickinson and his position iu society as a leading citizen this is. especially so. - m ? mm - _ finubbed. It seems as if the most cordial re lation does not exist between Gen. Sherman and President Hayes. Ina repent sentence of a Court Martial in the case of a druujjun Infantry Lieutenant, tho President mitigated the punishment to a forfeiture of wages and a reprimand in general Orders Gen. Sherman. Instead of obeying this order bq a good soldi er ought to do, the General publish one setting forth that he did not think this a case worthy of his no tice. It is quite interesting to per sons outside of the ring to see such skirmishing going on inside; it may be the signal guns of a desperate bat tle to bo fought" in the near future. Democrats being only slightly inter ested will enjoy any diviaon that throws discortd and confusion into the ranks of Republican leaders. Fire at Branchville,. Tin-; most destructive lire ever known in Branchville occurred on Wednesday last about three o'clock in the morning. The fire broke out in two localities simultaneously and before it could be arrested destroyed eight buildings in the business por tion of the town. These were the stores of Messrs. Fred Syphrct, L. W. Loryea, John Byrd, Jacob Kar iah, dwelling of Mr. A. J. L. IvI wards, the postollice building, and two others tho owners of which we failed to learn. Messrs. Sypbret and Loryca were partially insured, but the others lose everything. Consid ering tho close proximity of the houses, and the absence of a fire de partment, it is a wonder that the larger portion of the town had not been burned. Its safety is due solely to the earnest and noble efforts of the citizens who worked long, faithfully and unrcinittihgly until the raging flames .were subdued and their homes saved. Y/c learq that die colored people oame up manfully tp the help of the white citizens and did nil in their power to arrest the fire and sarp the property exposed to danger. There is scarcely a doubt that the fire was the work of incendiaries. Breaking out simultaneously in two localities at least three hundred yards distant from each cii:pr, the time when it pecurred, a nil'tit her accompa nying pircumstanccs?all go lo con firm this, opinion. Well directed ef forts may lead to the capture and punishment of the fiends. In the meantime a well organized fire de partment should bo a" matter of thonghtby onr'B'ranchville friends. We clip the1 following additional particulars of tho lire from the Char leston 2\T< ws anil (?QW'ter of'yester day : Branchville, March 1G.?This town was evidently simultaneously fired lo two places this morning about ?1 o'clock. Qne fire was set in "what ig kppwn litre as the Whetstone dwelling, owned by Edward Brothers. The buidlng was unoccupied as a res idence, but there was stafcd in one \ of the looms a small quantity of fod der. From this building the lire was communicated to the postollice ad joining, and both buildinjp were speedily roduccd to ashes. There wrq no insurance on cither building. Loss 82,P0O. The postmaster, W. II. Reedish, lost about SHOO in per sonal property. No insurance. The other fire originated in what is kpowp as "pown town," the section ip wjiiph most of the business bpuses are located. It was set in the grain bouse of Mr. L. W. Loryca. The buildings in this locality arc situated c|o60 together, and the flames were soon communicated to the main stored whenpe tjiey spread tp the stores oc-I cupied by J. D. Byrd, J. Karish and! W, F. Syphrctt, -the unoccupied slorcl of D. K. Coleman, and the warehouse owhci) by B. p. Moycro, all of which were destroyed. Mr. Loryea was in sured to the amount of S3,oQ0 on his buildings and stock in the following companies: St. Paul of Minnesota, Merchants' and Mechanic*' of Virgin ia, and Petersbprg Insurance Compa ny <>f Yirgipi"' M'8 l?as '3 about 8-1, 500. J. I). Byrd was not insured Los? $?()0. J. Karish not insured. Loss 82,000. W. F. Syphrctt was insured lo the amount of $ 100 in the Lynchburg, Virginia, Insurance com pany. His loss is estimated at 8700. I Cqjeman is probably Insured. B. D. Meyers is uninsured, and his loss will probably reach $l,'0j6?. There nrp some ugly rumors afloat as to tho ori gin of Hie lire, but so far nothing def inite is known. Washington, March 17.?The fol lowing telegram was received at the potdofilct department to-day : "Buaxcuvii.i.e, S. C, March 1?.? This town was set on lire in two places simultaneously ubput 1 o'clock this morning. Among many other valuable buildings destroyed was the postolliee. Most of the government property was saved. W.

II. RiUGS, Chm'n. Tho Radd. We clip the following item from the Sea Island News the only Repub lican paper published in the stale, and we suppose it .is authority in Re publican matters: "Wc are satisfied from the best sources that ho State ticket will be put in the Held by the Republicans, and if the nominee of the Democratic party is one against whom Republicans have no bitter re membrances and in whose courage and truthfulness they can rely, every eir ort will be made by the leaders to bring out a full vole cjf tfce colored people Wc are told that in spmp counties a county ticket will bo run and onp for the electors for President. This will be the case in Charleston, Georgetown, Surater, Orangcburg. Beaufort and one or two others, and such is the general desire in Wash ington." So Orangcburg is to be one of the counties in which the Radical: are ^oit:g to run a county ticket/. Forewarned is forearmed.
