With considera ble emphasis they nsk why not take the proffered hand, let by gones be 'by-gottes and enter upon a new era fin Southern progress? Why not? This.docs not seem to be a specious -argument, but fuir reasoning, and, in view, of the recent .election, calls for sober thought and'a'just reckoning. What* ahs'wer has the South to make in the face of the amendments which were decided by the Supreme Court to be ?ui.conslitutional; of the recon struction ucts which placed the intel ligence and civilization of the South under the control of ignorance and barbarism ; of the Louisiana frauds and tthe South Carolina dual govern ment ; of the election laws which v ere intended to wipe out cur control of local'htfairs ; and of the Curse Inflict ed upon her through the eiv'l service by foisting upon our citizens dishon est ''carpel-naggers.' Let the South maintain her solidity, accept the situ ation as she now finds it mid owe al legiance do no. party, and one hun dred and thirty-eight electoral votes will always secure the power to lake care of herself, at least, until the sin cerity of- Republican friendship be tested or the duplicity of Northern Democracy be proven. The South is jn no strait, and need not be hasty. JThe Cry of Fraud. a*Tlie"unexpected result of the recent erection throughout the "North has arOOsed'tbe leaders of tho Democratic panty of that ? section to .something more-than their usual campaign ac tivity. The uepubtjean vole of.New York, particularly "Unit of the city, was unlocked for ami fell like a thun derbolt! from a cleur'sky on the De mocracy of tho country. Illegal vot ing is Charged in very nearly every district of the State to nn extent suf ficient to invalidate the claim of Geu eral Garfield and to give the electoral vote to General Hancock. To make Ibjg apparent to the-whole country, the Stale Executive Committee ate bestirring themselves to inaugurate such, an investigation us shall not fail of tho end. It seems that the vote U largely in excess of the actual popula tion, especially in the cities of New York and Brooklyn} and that other frauds common in the pun lice of the Republican parly have been perpe trated in the rural districts which can tie made to account for the unexpect ed tcsull iu the Stale on the 2d hi nt, ant. These irregularities arc not positively assorted, but merely hinted at, and leave the South in doubt as to whether ?he should become reconcil ed to the inevitable, or hope for a -*?oo This is indeed poor sali fac tion,and we are oiapuoexi ioi,?,i.. the whole matter as on \\ par with Oilier shams of the Northern Democ racy?a mere subterfuge for their ireachery to the South. Our great Ilde!est lies in our Mate and county governments. These are secure, and iV mntlers but little to i s what may lie iiu". Outcome of this investigation. |f the new administration will let us alone, we can work out :i future for South Carolina and Orange burg Conn ty as bright and as glorious as ever the past has been. Republicans Alarmed. There is a very noticeable nervous ness in the Republican party ami in business circles at the Ts'oj lit over the reported investigation of the laic Re publican victory at. the polls, now being niudc by the Democratic eoui milteeG in New Y?uk. What nil] come of the mailer we do not know, but rather think the frauds pet pel ra ted by tl.o Republicans at this ch clinu are not giouter liiitn the Electoral Commission fraud of 187(1 j*nortlo we think the ?'soll tMd''of the Nmihein I Democrats in 1880 any more eiiniinal than the "sell out" iu 187(i. We weic jinictd to submit lo {he one ami will, we suppose, submit lo this, lb side t?en.

Social Intirrimidati?n. .Jt was well kaowu previous to the late election that hundreds of bur col ored otizcus intended to cut loose from their" old party lies, and to cast, their voles for the party of honesty | and good government. This purpose was not peculiar to the colored peo ple of Orungcburg Oaunly, hut gene ral throughout the Stale, and was both a source of gratification to their white neighbors and of chagrin to to their old party leaders. To pre vent it, therefore, became a necessity, and every means was employed, even the most cruel and barbarous,', to keep the colored voter within the Radical parly. To appease the bold er, false promises were held out, and,| to inlimmidate the more timid, the parly lash was unsparingly used. Colored Democrats were turned out Iof the church, denied the privilege of communing at the Lord's table, and their services refused as Sunday School teachers. Wives wire insti gated by parly leaders, and in some eases by Church olllcials, to separate from their husbands. Female Iricnds indignantly rejected the society ol ;cvery one .against whom there was the slighnst suspicion of affiliation with the Democrats. Complete cstra Icism from both church and social cir cles was the certain fate oi" colored Democrats up lo the day ol' election, and from morning to night of that day they weie watched, followed up and threatened until the Radical tick et was cast. This slate of things calls fur a remedy, and, before another election, it must lie provided, or the same troubles will confront us then as now. Those who advise such pro ceedings and, instigated by the devil', urge our ignorant colored people to such a disreputable aud barbarous course of conduct, must he made to desist or quit Ibe count)'. There can be no peace for our people as long as such breeders of strife and confusion arc in our midst. Radical Violence. Never before have we hoaid of so much liotous conduct and lawlessness at an election us on the 2d November I instant. From-.cvcry precinct in the county wo he ir ol armed mob.-:, either countenanced by United State .Mar shals or Jed by them, Uucatching voicrs aud driving them Iroin the polls. Celored Democrats were bea ten, and, in Some localities, (he man agers of tlie election were beseiged,, inlcrfeicd with and prevented by col ored mobs from discharging their du ties. Hundreds of colored men yelled I about the rrounds like wild savages! and reeklcs-ly ttrt-d their' guns in every direction. More barbarous scenes were never witnessed in I he wilds of Africa than at some of the election precincts in outh Carolina on the 2d instant. Tim grounds about the polls were not the only theatre of such exhibitions, but the savages, returning home after the coupling ol Ihe voles, stoppetl in front of hones where the wives and children of white citizens were sleeping and cursed and yelled and lircd guns and pistols until the whole place was alarmed. Such conduct amounts to crime and the laws of Ihe state so declare it, and every offender should bo arrested, [tried and punished as the law in such leases provides. Kveiy man and wo man known to be guilly should be re pelled and at once brought to an uc counl. The pence of.I he county, the safely of the citizen, ami the majesty of the demand oiic'n a course.
