The SHERIFF OF CoLLEToN DISTRICT
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT BY ONE OF His
POSSE. the night of the Sd inst. +,
several prisoners succeeded in effect
ing their escape from Charleston
Jail. Among the number were a
white man, named Wall, and two
colored men, who were confined
under charge of murder These left
for their homes in Gillisonville, and
the Sheriff of Colleton was telc-
graphed Immediately to look out for
them. Two of the United States de-
tectives were also sent down to Gilli-
sonville, and, on last Wednesday,
the Sheriff organized a posse, and
went in search of Wall and the other
escaped prisoners. They were tracked
to Wallis house, and the posse sur
rounded it, for the purpose of pre-
venting their escape. Wall had,
however, succeeded in obtaining
some inkling of the pursuit, and the
inmates ran from the house toward
the swamp. The Sheriff's posse en-
deavored to overtake them, when one
of the posse, colored man, who had
been entrusted with gun, fred at
the prisoners, but mistook the Sheriff,
who was somewhat in advance. for
Wall, and the former functionary re-
ceived full load of buck-shot, in
ficting a severe, but not dangerous
wound. The prisoners made no de-
termined resistance, but were soon
re-arrested and taken to Jail. The
shooting of the Sheriff was repre-
sented as entirely accidental, the
posse being thrown into some confu-
sion by the sudden escape of Wall
and his confreres from the house.

THE LATE DEMocRAT1c ,CoNvEN-
TIoN.-We publish the proceedings
in full of the recent Convention in
Columbia, and direct to attention of
our readers to the first page of to-
days issue for complete information
as to the action of that body. There
were ten Districts represented, seve-
raj Of them by single Individual.
The Charleston Mercury and the Co
lumbia Picnic, representing the two
wings of the Democracy in this State,
have both announced, III substance,
that the party is now united in policy
and sentiment, although each of
these papers take different view of
the substantial results produced. We
are not disposed to utter one word
tending to bring about division in
our ranks, and will not, therefore,
comment freely ON the recent meet
ing in Columbia. If our friends in
Edgetield and Charleston are salts
fed, So are we OF the up.country.
They are now pledged to sustain the
party, and we trust will work earn
estly and persistently for Demo
cratic success in the Presidential con-
test-not merely resolve, but put
into practical execution, such mea-
sures as will show forcible, actual re-
sistence ut the ballot-box against
radicalism. Let us fight the radicals,
and keep pece among ourselves.

THE RECENT DISTURBANCE IN
ORANGEBuRG.-One of the negroes
who was shot by the Deputy Sheriff
of Orangeburg District, whilst trying
to rescue prisoners from his custody,
died on Monday, and at the time the
train left that point yesterday, an
elaborate investigation of the circum-
stances was progressing Mt the in
quest, which was being held on his
remains by the coroner. Considera-
bic excitement has ensued on the
event, and this was increased by the
extraordinary efforts which were
being made by "burnt district"
Randolph to array host of witness
cs against the officer. The result
will probably reach us to-day.

SOUTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATIC
HURRAH!-The Associated Press cleo
tion returns from thirty-one Districts
of South Carolina give the Republi-
cans fifteen and the Democrats sixteen
Districts. This news is almost too
good to be true; but it shows at any
rate the tendency of politics, even in
the States which have been recon-
structed by the radicals at an enor-
nous expense. Even many negroes
begin to see the folly of being led to
the polls in a body by agents who
care nothing for them except for
their votes. .-Neva,G Journal.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF TENNESSEE.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF TENNESSEE.
At the meeting of this party in Con-
vention, at Nashville, on the 9th
instant, it is stated that q platform
was adopted, formally allaying the
conservatives of Tennessee, with the
National Democratic party; declaring
the doctrine Of secession finally de-
cided by the war, but asserting the
just rights of the States. Strong
ground was declared against the re-
construction policy of Congress-, and
in favor of the rightful supremacy of
the white man in the control of the
Government. The greenback policy
was unanimously and enthusiastically
adopted. "-Charlestom Mercury.

KEEP HEART.-The recent cleo
tions show clearly that the negro
population is becoming tired of radi-
calism, the Democrats having carried
about one-half of the State, while in
the remaining Districts, the radical
majorities are much reduced to what
they were in April The chances,
therefore, for the success of the De-
mocratic party in the November
struggle is of the healthiest charac-
ter. The negro mind is beginning
to wake from the delusion which be-
clouded it, and reason tells that their
interests run in parallel lines with the
Democracy. All that the party has
to do is to work with nntiring energy
and zeal. .-Nemberrv Herald.

him upon the order OF his gong.
He is here-4,0OO, 900 of negroes are
here -and Liberia cannot tempt them
away. They have become attached
to the soil, Theysare fair laborers,
and in that way do. contribute some
thing to the country. W. 49,
Furthermore, they are here free,
and that, with our sovereign assent.
Looking at the question in this prac-
tical way, we have thought, and still
do think, that it is good policy and
just dealing, to give these people q
fair showing-not to seek utterly to
ignore them, but to do what is right
and just and sensible, and to lea0e The
ultimate solution Of the question to the
ethics Of Heaoen and the logic Of ecents;
taking care, however, in the mean
time, firmly to uphold the supremacy
of that race to which this country
par excellence belongs, just as Africa
par excellence belongs to the negro.
But, from the principles announced
in this article, it will be perceived
that we denounce the proposition of
social and political equality among
the races at the South, as incon-
sistent with the interests OF both
races, as contrary to reason and
experience, ard as offensive alike
to God and man. On this point,
let us be clearly understood, for
this is the vital principle that we
hold-we are willing to concede to
the freed negroes of the South all
that may be demanded for them of
Heaven, or claimed, in reason, for
them by the popular voice of this
land; but we will never willingly con-
cede to them the political control of
the country. This belongs to the
white man. If the negro has visions
of social and political equality, let
him seek to realize them in Africa.
If he dreams of titles, and honors,
and Office, let him fill up in Africa
the measure of his ambition. If he
dreams of empire, and dominion,
and power, and all that, let him seek
in Africa the fruition of his fancies.
For him to try this role here, is madIy
to sign the death warrant of his race.
Let him remember that it becomes
him to be modest in his pretensions,
lest he bring upon his people the
iron hand of a master race, upon
whose banner Heaven itself has
placed the emblems of victory and
dominion.

A NEGRO Equality SPEECH. The
negro equality speech of Senator
Yates, on Thursday, is regarded by
many Republicans rs q bomb shell
thrown into their ranks. The key
note of Yates speech was full recog
milton of negro equality, and he de-
clared that it would be useless for
parties to hide their heads in the
sand, supposing themselves concealed
from the pursucrs. Universal negro
suffrage, North and South, was de-
manded at the hands of Congress,
and Congress wonld have to grant it..

The Camden Journal learns that q
respectable colored minister of Cam
den, feeling under some obligation
to candidate not on the radical
ticket, determined to cast his vote
for him in the election that has Just
closed. He supposed he was free
man, and had the privilege of voting
as he chose, but was informed 'by
the proper authority" that unless he
abandoned his intention and voted
the radical ticket, his meeting house
would be nailed up, and he never
allowed to enter it again.

1t is ascertained that the radicals
have determined not to adjourn
Congress until after the Southern
States have organized and ratified
the fourteenth amendment to tho
Constitution, and their radical repre-
sentatives admitted. This is with q
view to securing the Southern cleo
toral votes for Grant.
On the 14th day of June, ninety one
years ago, q resolution adopting the
"Stars and Stripes" as the national
standard, was passed by the Cont
mental Congress.
