DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IN OcoSEE. =
The Democratic ticket for County
officers has been elected by maiori-
ty OF about three hundred and fifty
votes. The officers elect are as fol
lows: Clerk, Jessie w. Stribling;
Probate Judge, Richard Lewis;
Sheriff, James Fl. Robins; School
Commissioner, r. S. Porcher; Coro-
ner, S. b. Mauldin; County Com
missioners, A. 10y, w. II. Davis and
james Zachary.
Our correspondent says:
''Democratic clubs are still being
formed here, and I think Oconee
County can say she has more clubs
than any other County in the State.
A club has been formed here for the
colored people. Wallace Hicks. their
President, made some very suitable
remarks Mt their first meeting, and
gave them some very sound advice.
1t wolld have done some of the
League good to have been present
They are leaving the Union League
colors and joining the Democratic
ranks. They say those are their only
true friends, and what is gool for
the white man is good for them.
Last week another League meet
ing took place. One of the officers
bought gallon of whiskey to treat
on. Some of the colored Democratic
folks being in town, got wind of it,
went mp and joined them, but only
rs long as the whiskey lasted-whcn
that was gone, they were gone, too.
One poor fellow who had left his bag
of corn down stairs to get his drink,
found it gone, or rather found it not
at oil, when he came down. Jokes
are played on the Union League all
the time. Charleston Ne,cs.

Removal or Political Disnbiiities--
The Truo Pxinciplc.

REMOVAL or Political. Disnbiiities--
The True Principle.
South Carolina journals publish q
letter addressed to o resident of that
State by Mr.. Sumner. who, in reply
to an application for thetremoval OF
political disabilities, expresses the
opinion that, to make exceptions to
the general policy in individual cases,
swould be to open the door to innu-
merable applications. II hope to
meet such cases as yours by some
general enactment" Mr.. Summer
adds; ''and, as soon as the condition
of the country will permit" he pro-
misses to advocate the removal Of all
disabilities.
i, 1t is satisfactory to find the radical
Senator from Massachusetts q convert
to the principle which his colleague
long ago asserted, and On opponent
of that other principle, on which
extreme members Of the House have
attempted, to Justify exceptional
legislation. The measures which
have been introduced on the subject,
do more harm than good. They
enumerate q few scores of individu-
ais, on whom it is proposed to confer
the benefit of amnesty, as reward
for services rendered to the promot-
ers of the new Constitutions. It is
not pretended that these persons are
alone entitled to relief. They are,
confessedly, selected from q vast
body of equally deserving citizens,
simply because they have friends in
the House, or have rendered them
selves conspicuous during the pro-
,gress of reconstruction.
The Republican majority is thus
placed in the position of party to
discreditable bargain and sale-a
party that uses its power to reward
pretentious adherents, without re-
ference to the claims of others, the
real merit of the question to be de-
cided, or the effect of favoritism-or
what wears the look of favoritism-
upon the feelings of the Southern
people. Instead of conoiliating op-
ponents, such o policy adds to exist
ing irritation, and is used as evidence
of d desire on the part of Congress
to dispense ipartizan favors rather
than to administer justice.
The only satisfactory way of deal
ing with the question is by some
general enactment to afford the ne
cessary. relief. AS personal matter,
it never will be disposed of properly.
AS means Of doing out recon-
pense for party service, it must al-
ways lack moral consistency and sue
cess. !" It should be proposed and
carried as q measure of liberal and
enlightened statesmanship-ns a
means of obliterating some of the
remaining traces of conflict, and
putting an end to the most plausi-
bic cause of discomfort. In this
broad sense, we interpret the pledge
implied in the adoption of the Carl
Schurz resolution by the Chicago
Convention; and the Republican
party will gain immensely by its
enactment at the earliest possible
moment. Mr.. Sumner evidently
thinks that the fitting moment has
not arrived; nor has it while the
States are kept waiting for admission.
After admission, however, should
properly come amnesty, generous,
non-partizan and complete.

them from the galows. Whether it be right
or wrong that treason deserves death, it is
certain that the people of the North did not
permit that question to be raised; in their
magnanimity they put it aside, and required
of traitors no indemnity for the past, i'm
posed no punishment for their crimes, but
demanded only security for the future. 1t
was Peace for which we longed, and are we
now to learn that we were wrong in seeking
to establish Peace in the spirit of mercy
rather than in that which demands an eye
for an eye, and tooth for tooth We
must believe so, if we can believe Frank
Blair, Wade Hampton. Howell Cobb, the
leaders of the Democratic party North and
South, and the unanimous voice of the Re-
bel press. In 1860 AMI 1861 these identical
threats were made by the same men, but
the patriotic masses could not credit their
sincerity, till the attack upon Sumter proved
that the South was in deadly earnest. 1t is
the duty of the American people to profit
by that terrible experience. We are warned
by the Democratic party itself that its tri-
umph means War; that it intends that Blair
and Seymour shall establish the principles
of the Confederacy. That warning it would
he criminal folly to despse. 1t is Grant who
represents in this contest the great cause
which he represented in the war, and only
BY his election can Peace and Order be pre-
served and permanently established.-M Y.

BEAUTY OF OLD PEoPLE.-Men and wo-
men make their own beauty or their own
ugliness. Lord Lytton speaks of a man 'who
was uglier than he had any business to be-"
and if he could but read it every human
being carried his life in his face, and is good
looking or the reverse, as that life has been
good or evil On our features the fine chsel
of thought and emotion are eternally at
work. Beauty is not the monopoly of bloom,
ing young men and of pink white maids,
There is a slow growing beauty which only
comes to perfection in old age. Grace be
longs to no period of life, and improves the
longer it exists.

Grape Wine.

Mr.. EDITORIALS this is near the season
for making grape wine, send you the FOL
lowing recipe, which is so simple and pro-
duces such excelant wine, that | hope every
one having grapes will try it;
FIVE GALLONS WINE.-Express the juice
from twenty pounds grapes and rinse the
pulp and skins in as much water as VIII
cover them, mash them and strain through
a coarse cloth, ado ;his to the juice and put
in two pounds of brown sugar to each gaI'
lon; when the sugar is dissolved, pour tho
whole into a keg, having the bung open,
and let it stand where the temperature WIZ
be about 20 degrees until JerD'o"t4eteo" e
ceases !: then bung tight, and let II rest !or
month 10 settle, when it should be drawn
off nnietlv the keg well washed, and the
vine returned to it, adding oac pound good
raisins-and if the wine does not seem
sweet enough, two pounds sugar may oe
added TO the whole. The necessity OF 40
inc this depends upon the KIND an" quality
u The rb Sine should remain until the keg is
ra,tsd tLe next season, when 1t may be
bottled for use.

SLEEP.-Exercise your body and your
mind till you are tired, and no longer sleep
till you are refreshed, but no longer; when
the bed becomes irksome, get up if ciIcum-
stances permit; when again Nature calls for
rest, follow her dictates and regard not the
time or hour. In health, custom rules but
when sickness takes the helm, nature will
not be controlled. In good health, seven
or eight hours sleep is generally sufficient;
a disposition to lie in bed beyond the usual
hours generally arises from some derange-
ment of the digestive organs In sickness,
if the patient is favored with sleep, nothing
will so soon renovate and restore strength /;
when nurse perceives her patient inclined
to sleep, let everything give way, no matter
what time it happens. A patient should
never be awakened to take medicine no
medicine can be so beneficial as sleep, which
is the balm of Gilead of this state of being.
and comforts both mind aud body beyond
any other things. Sleep is sound, sweet and
| refreshing, according as the alimentary or-
gans are easy, quiet and clean.

A DIsAGREEABLE BEDFELLow.-Three
gentlemen, while in Providence, on business,
stopped at one of the best hotels of that place
and asked the clerk to prepare a room for
them-one with double beds, so than the
trio could room together. The clerk an
swered that he could accommodate them if
one would sleep with stranger, as all the
other rooms were occupied. After some
hesitation one of the number said he was
perfectly willing to sleep with the stanger.
The trio were soon shown 20 their room,
where they beheld seated on one of the
beds, partially undressed,a a gent, who ap-
peared to be an excellent specimen of the
genius dandy, as he stared at the new comers
through an eye-g!ass which he held daintily
in his fingers.
Our friend, who had promised to sleep
with the stranger, quickly disrobed himself
of his outer garments, and after seating
himself on a chair beside the bed occupied
by the dandy, commenced to scratch his
head vigorously. This proceeding astonish-
ed the dandy but his amazement was con-
siderably increased by hearing our friend
say to one of his companions
Jimmy, did you bring your fine tooth
comb with you If you did, lend it to me,
for my head is very itchy !"
The dandy started on hearing this, quick
ly dressed himself, and, with an expression
of disgust on his countenance, left the room.
1t is needless to say our friend slept alone
that night
