Gov. SCOTT, of South Carolina, has Just is
sued proclamation which constitutes curl
Gus commentary upou the asseverations of the
Democracy that all their ways are peace Gov.
Scott, after offering reward of $4,000 for the
apprehension of the parties guilty of the MUIR
der of Randolph, the Radical Senator, con-
tnues:
Reports are being daily received at this De.
partment that the laws are violated and set at
defiance; that peaceful and unoffending citi-
gems are murdered in cold blood, ard the muir
derers are not only permitted but aided to
escape from justice; that families have been
forced to abandon their homes and property by
the fear of violence; that the authority of the
State government is openly derded, and that
threats of violence and of death are uttered
against prominent members of the Republican
party II they shall attempt to visit their dis
tricts for the purpose of discussing the poiiti.
cal questions of the day; that declarations are
openly made by persons calling themselves
Democrats of their determination not to per-
init their political opponents to vote at the
ensuing election; and to enable them to effect
their purposes and to overawe the people large
quantities of fire arms Of the most approved
descriptions have been brought into the State
and secretly distributed; that the public high
ways are picketed and patroled by armed men
who stop and interrogate passengers, and FREE
with them politically; and especially is there
an apparent systematic effort by abuse and in
timidation to deter colored persons from the
exercise OF the elective franchise: and all this
in trausgression of law, in derogation of the
peace and dignity of the commonwealth. and
In violation of the rights of citizens
The Governor concludes as follows:
In the eye of the law the rights of every cit.
tzen, white or colored, are equally sacred, and
equally entitled to protection and vindication
and ii is my duty and determination to use all
the power at my disposal for that purpose, and
il my efforts to accomplish this by peaceabe
means are frustrated by turbulent and lawless
men resisting the executive authority 10 the
person of its officer, shall be compelled, how
ever reluctantly, to arm and organize sufi
Gent force of loyal citizens to overcome the
resistance, and the responsibility of the conse-
quences, however disastrous and depIorable
must rest upon the heads of those who pro-
voked them.

The very latest proposition is the best line
Washington Democratic Junta are IN faVor OF
Withdrawing Seymour and Blair as candidates
for President and Vice-President and leaving
the electors, If Democrats shall be chosen to
that office. to vote for whom they will. thus
avoiding the useless task OF endeayorjng TO
harmonic "the Youthful indomtable Democ-
racy" sufficiently TO put new men in nominal
ton. We say this plan is best, because it re-
calls the almost forgotten fact that there are
electors and that they once had certain impor-
tant functions to perform besides the mecban-
ical one of depositiug a vote for President al
ready elected by the people. Orr constitution
was not originally so democra tic as it has since
been made by the people. sour fathers" did
not intend that a President should be chosen
by popular vote, but that the people should
select the most trustworthy of their number
who should in turn make choice of President
according to the dictates OF their own iudg-
ment. But the wisdom of our fathers has
been turned into folly by the conduct OF their
children, and the electoral college has become
useless piece of machinery with nothing to
do except to record the result Of the popular
vote, while its original design is only call
ed TO mind by the mad vagaries of a broken
down political party
There is no doubt that in this case the chill
dren are wiser than their fathers. ANY limit
alton upon the democratic character of our in
stitutions is an awkward anomaly of which
the people are impatient. In this case they
have set it at naught, only the necessary OBJ
servance of constitutional forms after their
spirit has been ignored involves certain I'M
pleasant consequences, or at least renders
them possible For instance, Abraham Lin
coin had in 1854 majority of over All 900 of
the popular vote Yet by reason OF the choice
of President indirectly through the agency of
electors a change of 10000 votes would have
defeated him. In other words it is possible for
a President who receives comparatively small
part OF the popular vote to be elected. This
might sometime happen when the electors
pledged to the successful candidate receive but
a small majority in their States, while those
who are pledged TO the unsuccessful candidate
receive large majority in theirs.
Among the lucid ideas which President
which he has expressed in several messages to
Congress that the constitution should be so
amended as to make it conform to the present
practice without any of the disadvantages
which now arise from it.. The existing Demo-
cratic dilemma will not be useless if public at
fention shall be directed to this subject and
necessary steps taken for a reform.

WHEN the Plantation Bitters were first made
known to the American people some seven
years ago, it was supposed that they were an
entirely new thing, and had never before been
used. So far as their general use in the United
States is concerned, this may be true. 1t is
also true that the same Bitters were made and
sold in the Island of St. Thomas, over forty
years ago, as any old planter, merchant or sea
captain doing business with the West Indies
will tell you. 1t is dist nctly within my recol-
lection that on the return of my father (whO
was sea captain, and doing an extensive
. trade in the tropics,) he would invariably
have these Bitters among the ships stores, and
our family sideboard was never without them.
For any sickness, it matters not how severe or
tr1ing, the decanter of these Bitters, by a
different name, was always resorted to as a
sovereign remedy.

THE CAMPAIGN OF GRANT.

l have no pretension to be Judge of militia
ry affairs, but to my humble apprehension, the
of Vicksburg, of Chattanooga and of Rich
mond, wiil-the more closely they are studied
the more decidedly reveal a capacity of the
highest order in the man who conducted them.
That they prove perfect firmness, tenacity and
self.devotiou, is beyond dispute. To be great
soldier necessarily implies many of the highest
intellectual faculties. No man can be great
soldier without being thinker, and this is the
very reason why successful soldiers are apt to
be dangerous in a republic

More Causes of Blood Poison

Excessive labor or undue excitement sometimes
occasion serious sickness by causing an accelerated
motion to the blood Grief and anxiety hurt by
making the blood to circulate slower. Both causes
may produce serious evils to the health unless pre-
vented by timely aid. Here are admonished OF
the superior advantage of BRANDRETH's PILLS.
For if the blood goes too fast, from other
causes, they allay the turmoil and healing balm
to the brain. While, should the blood circulate
slowly, tinting the skin with dark hue, they at
relieve the blood of its excess of carbon; thus they
relieve the mini and restore the health. Should an
organ be weaker than the rest there impure matters
from the blood will be deposited. This is the way
jumps, boils, tumors, carbuncles, are produced. All
arc cured, often prevented, by the use of BRAND
RETH's PILLS.
