At the great labor demonstration in
New York on Tuesday last fully one
hundred organizations were represented
and there were at least 20,000 men in
line, and many of the bands played the
''Marseilles.' The mottoes carried
were 'Pay no rent,' 'All men are born
alike and equal,' 'Labor built this
Republic r labor shall rule it." 'No
man can make land, hence no indi vid
ual .Artfem it.'
A tail ve to obey the scriptural is*
junction, " 'Obey your husbands,7 had
a sad ending in Chicago. Paul Toll

tneuThome, and calmy inquired : 'Will
you obey me after this V The wife re?
plied evasively, whereupon he shot her
dead, and then stepping into an adjoin
I ing room shot himself through the
heart. They had been married two
years and had one child.
A Nevada girl bad a very perceptible
moustache, and on the morning of her
wedding day she undertook to remove
it with a caustic preparation. Her lip
was burned to such a black and swollen
condition that she refused to show her?
self to the guests. As the bridegroom
would not consent to a postponement,
the ceremony was performed, privately,
and the company consoled themselves
with a dinner. The bride started on
ber honeymoon journey closely veiled,
and unkissed by her friends.
The Beaton family of Scarburgb,
Cal., have turned their farm into a
separate kingdom. The nine members
passed a formal declaration of indepen?
dence a few months ago, and crowned
the husband and father as king. They
hoisted a new Sag over the house, an?
Bounced that their hundred acres were
no longer a part of the United States,
and refused to pay taxes. They are to
have a war on their hands, for the
sheriff intends to make an invasion.
The suffering in Germany for lack of
employment is great, and the natural
gain in population is about 500,000 a
year. Under such circumstances, sev- i
end German statesmen are convinced j
that emigration is inevitable, but they j
have begun to argue that thc great j
stream of people pouring out might bet- j
ter be utilized for the benefit of Ger- j
many than in enriching America, !
England, and many other countries all j
over the world. But colonization has {
not yet been favorably looked upon by
the German Goverment, whose aim is j
the concentration of its powers within J
tts own compact domain.
Judge Mackey bas written a letter to j
. Col. Cash, declining his proposition to !
'agree upon a joint canvass' with him?
self and Mr. Hemphill in the Fifth Con?
gressional'District. He characterizes
the fight as a 'triangular duel,' a kind
without hurting anybody. He close8
this characteristic epistle to Col. Gash
by expressing the -fear that our wran?
gles in the face of the enemy will re?
call to the minds of our audience the
story of the fox, who said to his com?
panion, as he heard the hounds give
tongue upon their trail, Good-bye,
brother, we shall meet at the hatter's.

THE GREENBACK TICKET.
The friends of the Greenback party
must feel chagrined at the woeful fail?
ure of the State Convention in nomi?
nating a ticket. In the face of the
boasts which its leaders have made
with reference to its strength and influ?
ence in the State, the nomination of
such a ticket savors somewhat of the
ridiculous ; and will certainly suggest to
the minds of some of the more irreveren
tial lookers-on, a dearth of material.
Not that the gentlemen whose names
appear for the varions State offices, are
otherwise than good, honest men. We
know nothing, personally, about them.
But it has been customary for political
parties heretofore to AU these positions
with its ablest and most popular men,
and unless the Greenbackers hate
widely departed from the custom, the
promises which are so confidently made
to its constituents will not he fulfilled,
or brains is a less important factor in
political progress than tho world has
hitherto believed. It may be, however,
that the party is abundantly supplied
with talent, and it may be, that its talent
may fill the minor offices, or quietly en?
joy all the blessings which are con?
templated in the overthrow of De?
mocracy without the annoyance of po?
litical life. This would do admirably
unless the voter should forget his inspi?
ration and inquire abont the candidates
for State offices.
Superintendent of Education*
Geo. Capers, who was nominated for
this office by the State Convention, has
declined to serve, and the Executive
Committee will fill the vacancy caused
by his resignation. Among the gentle?
men spoken of, Col. ?Tas. D. Blanding
stands very prominent, and would be a
strong addition to the ticket if chosen.
Bis reputation for zeal and energy in
the cause of Democracy is not confined
to Sumter County, while his ability and
the continued interest he has ever mani?
fested in educational progress are suffi?
cient qualifications for the office. We
?lip tbe following from the News and
Courier :
30L. JAMES D. BLANDING, OF SUMTER,
NOMINATED.
To the Editor of tlte News and
Courier : Permit us to nominate for the
>ffice of superintendent of education Col.
lames D. Blanding, of Sumter. He is
i scholar of excellent attainments, a
lilligent and systematic worker, devoted
;o letters and to the cause of education.
Sis name would add much to the
strength of our ticket, and his election
would be the best gurantee that the
?ood work so well begun by Col.
Thompson will be continued earnestly
iud successfully.
The Seventh District should not be
thrown aside and forgotten, and we ap?
peal to the more favored sections of oar
State to remember that we deserve some?
thing at their hands.
SUMTER DEMOCRATS.
Hon. J. S. Richardson's Example.
The following letter from Congress?
man Richardson is another evidence of
the integrity and manliness of that
honorable gentleman, and a noble ex?
ample to others who may be tempted by
the --flattering and alluring picture1'
presented by the Greenbackers and In
iependents. Placed in a District with
aa overwhelming Republican majority,
with no chance for election on a regular
Democratic ticket, he nevertheless de?
clines to accept the nomination from
any other party, though offered with
the assurance of bis election. This de?
rision, however, is one which will occa?
sion no surprise to those who know
bim, for bis course has ever been such
that the event could have been safely
predicted :
GLENN SPRINGS, Sept. 1,1882.
Mr. CHAS. A. BUCHHEIT, Secretary
of the Greenback Labor Party, Flor?
ence, S. C -Dear Sir : Your official
letter of the 26th August, directed to
Sumter, bas been forwarded to me here
and was received only a few days ago.
I am sure your letter was conceived and
written in the kindest spirit to me per?
sonally, and I am grateful for the
honor intended to be done me. To
have won the --well-don*" of one's
fellow-citizens, to whatever party they
may belong, is always gratifying to the
public servant, and I am no exception
to the general rule. "ID behalf of the
Independen t-Greenbackers" aod -'of
many of the leading Democrats of the
Sixth Congressional (my old) District"
you ask me to run "as an Independent
Democrat for Congress in the Sixth
District.n Your letter is not the ouly
one I have received, nor is your party
thc only one which has written me
urging me to a similar course, aod
giving me assurances of support, aod
hence I think it the more important I
should answer it at once. You say
"we want good men to represent us.
We .want the office to bunt the man,
not the man the office." And you tell
me that "the voice of the people is in
your (my) favor." That "the Demo?
crats will support you," "the Indepen?
dents will vote for you," "and the
colored voters will ignore entirely the
Democratic ticket and victory is yours."
This is indeed a flattering and alluring
picture to one who has, by the redis?
tricting of the State, been deprived of
all chance of re-election iu bis own
District, and especially to one who,
like myself, has served my two ternis
in Congress under all the disadvantages
I have had to contend with-two con?
tests for the seat to hamper and weigh
me down and a heavy debt incurred in
each, as much iu the interest of my
constituents as in my own. Could I
look alone to my own interest it would
indeed be a gratifying prospect to be
able to continue to represent my people
iu Congress. The honor of doing so
would indeed be great, while the ex pe
rie nee acquired would render the ?
vice comparatively easy, as well
better fit me to serve them. And
me it would even be more than th:
For to give up public life is to me
retire to seek a support out of a lc
practice which was given up to ser
my constituents. But, my dear si
there are other, and allow me to sa
higher and more important, consider
tions, in my judgment, involved in th
matter than mere personal honors ai
employments. I believe the good
the State, of every man, woman ai
ohild in it, of both races, is invol
ed in the success of the Democrat
party. That party has given 01
State the only government we have h;
since the war worth living nude
It has given us the only govern mei
which bas furnished protection for li
and security for property to all the cit
sens of the State alike, the only 01
which has made an honest effort
educate the people, and the only 01
which bas furnished the quiet, repot
and peace so necessary to prosperit;
The improvement of the State sin?
1876, among all classes and in evei
department, has been marked, decid?
and continuous. It has simply bee
wonderful. Before it came into pow?
there was nothing but retrogression an
ruin, and to defeat this party now wi
lead to incalculable evils. True, it hi
been claimed that there hare been son
laws passed which have not met the et
tire approval of the people and whic
some of them suppose to have been ut
timely ; and it bas been said that som
things have been omitted which perhaj
should have been done. But this nee
?ot be either admitted or denied. Fe
it is impossible to please all, and per
fection is not the lot of humanity, an
when the worst has been said that ca
be urged against it bow marked ha
been the improvement in our conditio
on what we endured until the Derne
eratic party relieved us from the evil
rule which preceeded its advent to pow
er. I did all I could in 1876, i
1878, and again in 1880, to put an
keep that party in power. I did it be
cause I believed it was for thc best in
terest of the whole people of the State
without distinction of party or race
[ have seen nothing to make me thin!
[ was wrong, or tbat any other part;
trill or can do better than it has don*
jr will do for us in the future. And ii
National politics the Democratic parti
is the party of local self-government 0
?conomy, of low taxes of civil service re
form, and the only party which labori
md strives for their interest as a g ai ns
ihe interest of the moneyed class, th?
bondholders, the banks, the railroad mo
lopoliesand the protectionists. Witl
bis party I am allied on principle as wei
is thorough interest, and with it I h av*
vorked since I have been a member 0:
Congress. Success to this party meant
he obtainment of all these great anc
rrand ends. I cannot, therefore
unsent to do anything to lesser
ts chances of success or to undo th?
pork for which I have labored hard foi
be past six years. I have given to il
ny time, means, and I may say, mj
jeal th, and I cannot for the prospect
)f mere personal honors and emolu
nents accede to your request to run ac
LU Independent Democrat against the
;a D did a te of that party. To succeed
por myself would he to defeat my party.
If I could do this, J would not. No ]
jave worn its honors when it saw fit to
;ive them to me, and I will strike nc
jlow against it for personal considera
;ions, and least of all because it may
lave been my fate, as you doubtless
suppose, to suffer in tbe redistricting of
:he State. As I have served it, I trust
aithfully, in the past when prosperity
united on my path, I shall endeaver to
>e true to it in the future, though the
.oad may be a little rough. With these
riews you will see how inconsistent, yea
JOW impossible it will be for me to
?un as an Independent candidate for
Congress.
Tours, respectfully,
JOHN S. RICHARDSON.
River and Harbor Appropriations.
The New Torie Sun has recently
printed a list of all the Congressmen
?r i th their records on the River and
Harbor and Naval appropriation bills.
While we agree with the Sun. in regard
ng these appropriations, especially the
atter engineered through by Roach and
Robeson, as regular steals, the expla?
nation already made by Congressmen
Evins and the unquestionable integrity
)f the gentlemen who represent us
>ccludes every other idea than that they
vere actuated by the purest of motives,
ind compels the belief that they were
convinced, from their standpoint, of the
necessity and wisdom of these appro?
priations. The following is the list as
published of South Carolina Congress?
men :
Aiken, D. Wyatt (Dem.)-A bad record for
m honest farmer. Not recorded at any time
)u the River and Harbor steal. Voted with
bolman to kill the Roach-Roberson steal, and
roted for the ste.il after its engraft meo 100 tbe
?arnl Appropriation bill. Bas been renomi?
nated, and ought to get licked.
Mackey, E. W. M. (Rep.)-Put into the seat
>f Samuel Dibble (Dem.) by the Robeson
Ring. Voted for tbe River and Harbor steal
ind against the veto, dodging the vote on the
increased steal. Dodged the vote on the
Holman amendment, and voted for tbe Appro?
priation bill containing the Monitor steal.
Evins, John H. (Dem.)-Not recorded on
the original River and Harbor steal, voted for
the increased steal, and voted to override the
reto. Voted ibe same as his friend Aiken on
the Monitor steal. Renominated, and ought
to be sent to grass.
Richardson, John S. (Dem.)-Dodged the
rote on the River and Harbor and on tbe Moni?
tor steals to tbe end.
Tilman, George D. (Dem.)-Voted for the
original River and Harbor steal; afterwards
thrown out of the House to make way for
Robert Smalls, a colored Republican, who
followed bis Alabama brother, and voted for
the increased steal, and to overide tbe veto.
Voted with bis friends Aiken and Evins on
the Monitor steal.
A negro woman was testifying in a
Tennessee court, when she was inter?
rupted by the Judge, who asked. *Do
you not know you are lying?* 'Yes,
sir,' she replied. She Was asked a
number of other questions, but gave no
answer, and the Judge ordered
her to be removed from tbe
court roora. It was then discovered
that she was paralyzed, and incapable
of uttering a word. She died a few
days afterward, and the belief is preva?
lent among the negro population of the
neighborhood that her death was a visi?
tation from God in punishment of ber
perj nry. _

The Greenback State Convention.
A Full State Ticlcet of Nobodies.
The State Convention of the Green?
back Independent Party met in Colum?
bia, Tuesday. 5th. Delegates were
present as follows: From Aiken 3,
Anderson 3, Berkeley 6, Charleston 5,
Chester 7, Clarendon 2, Colleton 3,
Darlington 5, Edgefield 1, Fairfield 13,
Georgetown % Greenville 2, Kershaw
19, Lexington 10, Marion 7, Marlboro
3, Newberry 1, Oconee 2, Orangeburg
4, Bichland 16, Sumter 2, Williams?
burg 4-120 in all, about one-fourth
of whom were colored. The conspicu?
ous figures in the Convention were ex
Judge T. J. Mackey, of Chester, J.
Hendrix McLane, of Columbia, T.
Augustus Sanders, Esq., of Colleton, T.
H. Bussell, of Anderson, D. R. Elkins,
of Alston, and (until he was expelled for
being too disorderly) Senator Fish
burn e, of Colleton. These men were
conspicuous in the Convention by the
activity they displayed and the promi?
nence they took in the proceedings.
Ex-Judge Mackey was the only man in
the Convention of whom the general
public know anything. Rev. I. D.
Durham, of Aiken, presided. A mo?
tion by ex-Judge Mackey to nominate
a fall State Tioket was adopted. D. R.
Elkins nominated J. B. Campbell, of
Charleston, for Governor, but apon be?
ing assured that he would not accept
withdrew the nomination. J. Hendrix
McLane was then nominated by accla?
mation. McLane in accepting the
nomination, said, "If you will give me
your unflagging support we will have
this government. I am willing to spend
all my efforts, and, if need be, die in
the attempt to carry our movements
throngh. If yon stand by me and fol?
low me throngh I will be Governor of
South Cordi ca, or by the Eternal, we
will have a military government." The
other State nominees are : For Secre?
tary of State, Thos Baskins, of Sumter,
Comptroller-General, Simeon Corley,
of Lexington ? Attorney-General, C. B.
Farmer, of Colleton ; State Treasurer,
W. H. Stanton, Oconee ; Adjutant and
Inspector-General, J. T. Johns, of
Darlington ; Superintendent of Educa?
tion, Rev. I. D. Durham, of Aiken.
The following Congressional nomi?
nations were made : For the 1st Dis?
trict, J. B. Campbell, of Charleston ;
3d, T. H. Russell, of Anderson ; 4th,
David R. Elkins, of Fairfield ; 5th, T.
J./ Mackey; 6th, Dr. - Bowen, of
Marion.
Somebody ought to hold J. Hendrix
McLane. He is developing into a bad
man and has enuciated the ominous
sentiment, 'McLane for Governor or
the bayonet.' While there is not an
alarming probability of either of these
contingencies, the choice between which
is doubtful, the public nerves are too
much unstrung by the Greenback
movement itself to permit Mr. McLane
to go about spreading devastation and
dread in the reckless manner be has
begun.
The Greenback ticket, which the
desperate McLane swears to lead to vic?
tory, is all tail. There is no head or sug?
gestion of a head visible about it.
From one extremity of this tail to the
other there is nobody to represent any?
thing bnt crankism and political disap?
pointment. A large proportion of the
members of the convention, were ex-office
holders or office seekers. T. J. Mackey,
who seems to have been the ruling
spirit, deserted one party in its ex?
tremity and was kicked out of another,
and after being a devout Republican
and a red hot Democrat has become a
violent Greenbacker on short notice.
But the whole business is too su?
premely ridiclous for posible serious con?
sideration. A third of the delegates,
were colored, and several of the whites
Radicals, and by their own apportion?
ment of representation-a delegate to
every five members-the Greenback
party in this State, black and white,
Radical and Democrat, is jost 600
strong.
[For the Watchman and Southron.]
Uncle Dick to the Democracy.
Well bots, the fuss Ts all over-the Con?
vention has sot-the ticket bas been chosen,
aod the poor candidates' critters can settle
down to a little rest.
The Convention did?6nt rate, tool It did
seem a little sort of queer for thia set to
'-regret" what them others had done a month
ago, about the Sumter Glob fizzle, bnt bless
you boys, it was all right-it was for the
sake of peace and harmony, and will be so
taken and excepted by al!. Let it poe3-we
have washed out onr dirty linen at home, the
snarl is over, and all is quiet along Turkey
Creek.
And now about tbe ticket-well raebbe,
there are some names on it that I and yon
don't like, and some left off, that I and you
wanted to see put on-but the solem fact is
that they bad so many good men before them,
tbat it was bard to chuze ; they did their
best, and it was very good.
Euny bow-we can't growl-it was our
doing-we all as members of onr presink
clubs roted in our delegates to the Conven?
tion, and tbem delegates choze in the men
they thought best-so after al), boys, it was
us that did it, don't you see. So don't let
us get mad that our man got set back, and
call bard names about it-but let us put that
there ticket in on the 7th of November, by a
big majority.
You know the old say in "Fox puppy-eye,
Fox deer-eye 1"
[Our correspondent doubtless means "Vox
populi, vor Dei I"-Ed.]
And bless yer boys-it is a good ticket to
ninia. Why if it was in your old uucle's
electiooaring days, bow be could ring out
about the craft, whose keels should avoid a
lee shore, in a way that woul a-mayes the
peebles, and that c'carU-j in the morning"
but oh my, old rye and cew ralgia has taken
all of that out of the old man long ago.
But come on boys, coats off for a good
fight all along the lines, from "the sands of
Lynch's Creek to the high hills of Stateburg"
only for a month aod a half longer, and then
victory is bound to pearch upon our ban?
ners-(1 suppose tbe Committee will buy us
some before theo.)
It is going to be a pretty stiffish fight too
the black-faces and green-backs will be solid,
but bless yer boys,
"We've done it before, and we'll do it again, j
We did it so well, that it gave us no pain,"
as tbe him says.
Go in boys-we aint got the words bolter
or independent in our County diekshinary
stick together, talk over as many niggers as
you can, aiid vote early and often ou election
day, and let's bear no more chat of indepen?
dent tickets. Your UNCLE DICK.

KNOCKABOUT SUITS.
(PATENTED.)
Ten Reasons why the "KNOCKABOUT" is the best Suit now
in the market for Boys' wear.
I.-Because tbe "KNOCKABOUTS" are made from double warp and doBble-and-twtet,
untearable and wear-resisting fabrics.
II. -Because tbe "KNOCKABOUTS" are trimmed in the most substantial manner, none
bot indestructible materials in thread, linings, buttons, ?c., being used ia their
manufacture.
III. -Because the "KNOCKABOUT" Pants are made with our Patented "Caralry Knee,"
thereby insuring the greatest durability.
IV. -Because the "KNOCKABOUT" fabric being a light color is not objectionable, as many
suppose, for it is in reality a neutral shade which will not soil easily, and will not
show the dust
V.-Because the "KNOCKABOUT" as its name implies, is a neat, serviceable outfit, and
is well calculated to stand any amount of rough usage.
VI.-Because tbe "KNOCKABOUT" is produced solely to supply a want of an honest
wearing, substantially made BOY'S SUIT at tbe low price of $5.00.
VII.-Because tbe "KNOCKABOUT" bas proTed an inestimable blessing to every Father
who has to buy, and every Mother who has to mend, the clothing of the irrepressible
boy of the period.
VIII-Because of the above given reasons the "KNOCKABOUT" Suits commend themselves
to the taste, judgment and pocket pf those to whom the amount of monty expended
during the year for Boys' Clotbing'is no inconsiderable item.
IX.-Because, since ''nothing succeeds like success," the great success of the "KNOCKA*
BOUT" thus far proves it to be just theASuit that was needed for Boys' wear.
X.-Because knock-abont as much as yon will, nothing will be found to knock the
"KNOCKABOUT" Suit that is manufactured for
05.OO.
