men. Seanlon, who was a large
and powerful man, was sealded
from the shoulders down, but managed
to work his way out through the hot
water and steam to the entrance and
thence to the street, and with some
assistance, to his home. Assistance
going to the other man, he was found
to have worked himself out and was
lying ia front Of the tubs, having been
scalded from the face downward, and
suffering intensely. The unfortunate
men fingered in agony until about
three O'Clock in the morning, when
they died. Mr.. Scanlon came here

The South Carolina Democracy.

We referred, a short time ago, to
the resolution Of the South Carolina
Democratic Convention, recognizing
the colored people as an integral part
of the body-politic, entitled to full
and equal protection under the State
Constitution and laws, and expressing
a willingness that they should have
the right Of suffrage, under proper
restrictions as to property and intelli-
gence; contrasting it with the pro
fessed views of the Northern Democ-
racy. The debate that arose on this
was not as to the propriety Of its
main principle, but as to whether it
went far enough, many of the promi-
nent members considering it to be too
vague. They wanted it plainly and
unequiYocalIy stated that the negro Of
proper intelligence had the right to
vote and take part in political affairs.
There appears a slight difference of
sentiment between the Northern aud
Southern Democracy on this question.
Hon. JAMES CHESTNUT said:
For one, 1 am quite Of the opin-
ion that In addition to the very
material announcement that we do
recognize the negro as an integral
part of the body-politic, we should
declare that he shall be admitted to
the functions of government to that
extent to which justice aud his caDac-
~ NAV har10 to- onNTAl0 him NlnA.
will imply the idea of qualified suf-
frage. For my part, [ think it is a
matter of policy matter of right
and certainly 1t IS the legal sequence
of the action of the people them
selves. When they declared enamel
patton, it followed as a legal and logi-
cal sequence that you could not have
in the same State an entire free popu-
lation excluded in every possible man
ner from the privileges f govern
ment. Now, secure to the colored
man qualified suffrage In the wisest
possible way-it viii not interfere
with you, and it viii make bim a good
citizen and a firm ally"
Col. G. ?. THOMPSON SAID:
We have in our midst four NIL
lions of people Of a race which we
believe to be inferior. Their roots
extend deeply into the soil. and the
question which comes home to every
man is. what shall we do with these
people? We cannot let them suffer;
we cannot allow them to be ruined;
we cannot transport them to Liberia,
for they have attachment to the land
as tender as our own. What then?
It is our duty to deal with them as
members of the body-politic. To de-
prive them of all participation in the
Government IS contrary to principle
aud contrary to policy,

The Southern Elections and a BE.
stored Union.
Notwithstanding the determined eff
forts of the late rebels with all the
political and material aid furnished
by the Democratic party of the North.
and the division of the black vote
which was accomplished in many dis
tricts, the Southern States, which
have taken action upon the subject,
have, In every instance, voted in favor
Of Reconstruction upon the Congress
sioRal plan, and have adopted Consti-
tutions which wipe out every vestige
of d~isloyalty. The result is a con-
frmation of the best hopes of the
loyal people Of the Nation, and a solid
cause for rejoicing on the part Of all
who have SO long desired peace and
prosperity under a restored Union.
Examining the results of the re-
cent elections in the Southern States,
we determine several important polit-
ical facts, among which are the fol-
lowing: In every one of the original
secession States, a very large white
vote has been cast for the Republican
ticket; the colored people have re-
fused, save in rare cases, to present
themselves as candidates for Office;
not a negro has come forward for
Congress; the heavy majorities, Ia all
except Arkansas. cast for the Repub-
%licans, secure the electoral votes OF
the FIVE States, which have held cleo
tons, for General GRANT, in Novem-
Der.
In proof of the fact that a very
large white vote has been cast for the
Republican ticket, we have only to
refer to the result in the States of
North Corolina and Georgia. La the
former State the white vote largely
preponderates, and in the latter, the
dispatches this morning advise US
that 1900 white votes were cast for
the Republican ticket. and in both
States it is known and exulted over by
the Democrats of the North, thatlarge
numbers Of the negroes voted the
Conservative or rebel ticket, aud not
withstanding these facts. both States
declare largely for loyal reeonstruc-
ton; and In North Carolina, where
the white vote is so largely in the ma
jority, the victory is sweeping and
complete. 1t is therefore clear that
the Republican party of those States
IS not composed entirely of negroes,
as has been charged. And the result
has been accomplished in spite of the
prescription in society and business,
the threats and deeds of violence,
and the open aid of ANDREW
JOHNSON and the Democratic party
of the North. With the State
governments in their own hands,
and with the hearty support
and favor Of the Federal Gov
eminent, as it will be after the i'm
parchment and removal Of JOHNSON,
we may reasonably count upon a large
increase of strength from the white
voters of the Southern States. With
the late hopeful action of these
States and the success of the Repub-
lican party in the next Presidential
campaign, the complete restoration
of the Union will be accomplished,
and good order, thrift and prosperity
will soon efface from the South the
traces of d~esolation and the troubles
arising from the late terrible war of
the rebellion.

The Madison Courier has a letter
from Bloomington confirming the re-
port which we published about the
selection Of FRED. DOUGLASS, the
colored speaker, as Annual Orator of
the lower classes Of the State Uni
veTsity. Mr.. DOUGLASS. it will be re-
membered, was, upon the nomination
and chiefly By the votes Of the Demo-
cratic students, elected the alternate
of Bishop SIMPSON who cannot be
present. The Courier comments as
follows:
The second choice Of the Demo
cratic students, Mr.. Douglass, is
much better than Mr.. VOORHEES,, their
first choice, and we congratulate
them. They have conquered their
prejudices and obtained a more loyal
and eloquent speaker than they would
have selected if they had been allow
ed their first choice. While Mr..
Douglass is addressing them they can
think of the renowned Hannibal,
HannO, Jugurtha, and other famous
Africans. They might profitably put
in the time between this and the
Commencement in reading up the
history Of the sable warrior states
