LINE" UNTIL he GETS IN CONGRESS.
Few of our readers, probably, arc aware of
the existence of the new Radical weekly sheet
published in Charleston, called "The South
Carolina Republican" 1t is somewhat more
pretentious than the negro papers OF the same
ilk which have preceded it, but differs but
little from them in the general style and spirit
with which it is conducted LII lis third issue,
which appeared On Saturday it says:
We receive the address OF the Democratic
Stat Committee, III regard to recent murders,
lust rs VIC 90 to press. Otherwise We should
print it in our columns. We cordially COM
mend both its spirit and Its language. We
heartily respond 10 the invitation TO Unite with
Democrats to re; rcss Ni9!c.ce; NeplcdSc IT,
public lns to do their utmost to promote peace
aud good will.
As a sample of the style i'll which this
.splcdses is 10 be kept, we notice in the same
issue of the Repu )lican the following editorial
paragraph. Observe sits spirit aud Ian
Guage:'
The Torch.-Tho stables occupied by Mr..
Joseph Crews, at Laurens, have neen burned

Again, abiding to the reception Of the news
of the murders of Nance and Randolph, it in
dulges in such pleasant threats as these:
The first thought was retaliation. The rifles,
muskets and ether weapons were tekcd down
and cleaned and loaded. They are loaded still.
Many said: "Abbevlllc shall be heap Ct ashes

little danger OF outbreak. But under the spur
of q single fresh murder, some nla5H tcdp J1oF-

THE HAPPY FAMILY.
From the same paper we get the following
record OF the doing If the city Radicals, which
may interest some of our readers

ional and the city elections. lie concluded
with moving vote OF thank 10 Mr Jinks'

MARSHAL EPPISG STILL IN THE FIELD.
The Republican thinks that the press of busi
ness in the United States Court ndiates "de-
cided confidence in the United StItes Goverll-
ment, the United Staies Court, and the United
States Marshal, Attorney and Judge. The fact
is that the business men and the community
at largo believe in the United States.' Else
We arc reliably informed that Hon. J. p. NJ.
Epping United States Marshal for the District
| of South Carolina, is candidate for election
rs Congressman at large. Alessrs. Epping aud
Jones were chosen at he last election and their
credentials not acted un. Dir. Epping deems it
right ard proper tina; the same course be pur-
sued until dclinitc action be taken by Congress.
