district commanders are evidently
beginning to feel their oats.

REM1TTANCEs TO THIS OFFICE.-As
several letters have failed to reach us.
we desire to say to all our friends who
may be making remittances to this
Office, to do so either by Registered"
letters or through the agency OF the
Southern Express Company. The
latter is reliable and safe mode OF
transmission on any line over which
it does business. We hope those in
terested will attend to this request.
TELEGRAPH1c DISPATCHES. s.-The
Picnic and Cleaner are the only
papers in the State, outside OF the
city of Charleston, that receive and
publish the latest telegraphic de
spatches, market reports, etc.-Ame-
rican and European. Recollect, also.
that the news in these publications is
furnished throughout the upper Dis
tricts twenty-four hours ahead of the
Charleston papers. The subscription
to the daily is IS year; tri-weeklv

REMEDY FOR Dull TIoIEs.-The
best remedy for dull times is to ad-
vertise freely. Merchants should not
let their stocks stay shelved until
they become old, stale and unprofit-
able, for the sake of the small ex-
pense it would cost them to adver.
tise. If they try it regularly and
persistently, they will find the in
vestment to be q paying one.

The New HOSE CARRIAGE. 1t has
been already stated that the new hose
carriage presented to the Indepen.

New York Herald says that it is on
exhibition in that city, and describes
it as follows:
"The new hose carriage lately buili
by the New York Firemen's Associa-
ton has been placed on exhibition al
the rooms of the Association, corner
of Sixth avenue and Fourth street
The carriage far exceeds the one lost
on the steamer Andalusia, and is sup
piled with about 500 feet of new hose.
Her running gear is of polished iron
the wheels painted in carmine and
gold, the hose reel of polished rose
wood, surmounted with silver plated
rings. On the front panel is the fol
lowing inscription: Organized 1887;
on the rear box panel the word 'Inde.

that this supreme duty is for every
citizen of Virginia, not disfranchised,
to register promptly. Its arguments,
addressed to the white voters, are
very conclusive, and appeal to all
the rich and the poor, the great and
the humble-as the only way to save
the State from lapsing into the condi-
ton of Tennessee. But while the
Times thus strongly appeals to the
white class of voters, its policy ought
not to be misunderstood. It says,
very properly:
''We do not ask every Virginian to
aid us with all the talents, energy,
public spirit and means with which
God has blessed him, in making the
registration as complete as possible,
for the purpose of denying to the
negro single right which can be
claimed for him as an incident of his
liberty. By no means. But we wish,
when complete and thorough regis
tration has revealed the strength of
the white men in this State, to teach
the blacks, by our ibe-ality towards
them, that their best friends are their
former masters
While party organizations and
party divisions among the Southern
people of all classes are to be depre-
Gated, it is incumbent on all to work
in union, with unceasing energy, to
push forward the work of reconstruc-
ton as prescribed by Congress, for
until that work is accomplished, we
will have nothing but unrest and dis
traction, and no stability i'll the great
producing interests OF the country.
AS the Times says, we can have only
peace, good will and unity of action
and purpose by forgetting the past.
Old party lines and old party prcju-
dices should go the way of those dead
principles which We only remember
as relics Of 1.-The world, before the
deluge" of civil war swept its bloody
waves over us for four years.
Let us, then. have but one party
in this State-a party, call it by what
name may be most advisable-but q
party which adopts as its platform
restoration and peace, and a full ac-
cordance to all of every class among
us, of every right, privilege and i'm
munity which the laws Of the country
confer upon them. 1t would be worse
than useless-it would be suicidal
to rake up the ashes of the past, to
revive party feuds, or to re-kindle
animosities. The only partythe best
interests of the South demand at this
time is n Union party, whose plat
form will be divested of all sideissues,
either resurrected from the past, or
Matched up now by discontented and
disappointed politicians. Such IA party
is the only one that can succeed in
the South, and the only one that can
lead her back to the paths of pros
perity and peace.

TEE CHEAPEST PAPER IN TIE SOUTH.

We huve often spoken Of the many excellent
characteristics of the Charleston Daily Neus; to
these it now commends itself by great reduction
in the price of subscription. From ten dollars
per annum the proprietors have reduced it TO six.
In this we think they have acted wisely, always
provided they can defray the expenses of publica-
zion, which we know heavy, at the reduced
price The reduction cannot fail TO increase their
subscription list largely. especially as they have
! saddad also Tri.Weekly, TO be published at three
;aoizarsa gear. The Meas is an excellent paper,
giving the earliest, fullest, and most reliable intel.
ligence on nil current topics. This department,
under its present management, has received spe-
cial attention. The news is judicousy selected
and presented in a brief and senientous form
Space is thus economical, and the reader benefited
in getting much larger variety of matter fer his
daily perusual.
The Neps has been goahead paper from the
beginning. Its proprietors are enterPrsing and
wide-awake, and having the inside track mean to
keepit. We like their spirit, and will do what we
can to encourage them. We would recommend.
therefore, all our readers who desire good cheap
live metropolitan paper ut once to subscribe to the
Charleston 8sy sysys.

NEWS I'M RRIEF.

- The rumors of conspiracies among the negro
population in Mississippi have become SO frequent,
that Governor Humphreys has been compelled 10
issue proclamation warning them to desst. The
organizations are stated to be for purposes of muir
der and plunder, and mean white men are mixed
up in them. The steps taken by Governor Hum
phrcys meets the cordial approval of General Ord,
who promises military aid in preserving the peace
and bringing the wicked men who wantonly dis
turb it, to punishment.
- White men are in bad rcputc about the M
tiona Capitol in these latter days, and very broad
distinctions are made on account of color Mr.
Schenck the other day proposed that the privilege
of selling ale and beer should be bestowed upon a
colored brother, although the same privilege was
fatly refused white man only short while ago..
Mr.. Schenck's consistency is admirable, only it
goes all one way.
- The criminal court at indianapolis (Ind.) has
decided ths.t the State law forbidding marriages
between the whites and blacks is not made null by
the United States Civil Rights Law. The case will
be taken to the Supreme Court.
BY order of General Ord, the Mississippi
convention is to meet at Jackson on Tuesday, jan
uary Z, and that Of Arkansas at Little Rock on
shs same day.

AN ENCOURAGING WORD.

The Atlanta Intelhgencer makes the following ex-
tract from letter addressed to the proprietor Of
that journal by highly cultivated and distin-
guished gentleman residing North of the Potomac;
who has reecat,y visited II ashingtou, and who is
encouraged to believe that prospects are becoming
brighter for the South. The writer says:
Il believe there is good ground for the hope
that the Radical power is virtually broken, and
that We are near realizing the beginning of the
end' of their infamous reign. The friends of the
President do not now hesitate to assert that he has
achieved great triumph, and, | am sure, thatthe
people of the North mean, by the recent elections,
an endorsement of his course and determination
to return to the rule Of the Constitution the
ly hope, not only for the South, but themselves.
They are determined that negroes shall not rule
this country, and, unless the people of the South
forge their own chains by surrendering their in
dependence and manliness of spirit to the dicta-
tion of a temporary and infamous military press
ure, ard fail protest against the great crime of
forced negro domination sought to be fastened
upon them by the fends in human shape, the time
will come at no distant day, when the State gov
ernments will be remanded back to their rightfu
owners. l know that it must require almost super
human courage and endurance, with large ad
mixture of fuith in the ultimate success Of truth
and right, to bear up with confidence under the
accumulated and aggravated weight OF infamies
perpetrated by the controlling power of the gov
ernnent with apparent impunity upon the defence
less and down. troddeu people of che South, but if
they are true TO themselves and to their birthrght
this forced and unnatural negro domination will
be of short duration. AS to what is the best
course for the people to pursue, do not pretend
to be statesman enough to decide, but l am sure
that they should never, by word or deed, counte-
nance, in the remotest manner, the unnatural and
barbarous claim Of malignant and unprincipled
power to force upon them subsection 10 the negro
They should resist by every means in their power
the extension of suffrage to the semi -barbarous
hordes in their midst, which consented to) cannot
result otherwise than in the complete and utter

criminals without presentment of Grand Jury.
4. The Tax Collectors not compelled to re-
