THE DIVISION OF PARTIES IN THE
SoUTH.-A South Carolina cores
pondent of the New York Times,
writes that the prevailing antagonism
between the whites and negroes in
that State, which owes its origin
entirely to the interference of out
siders aud strangers, and the forma-
tion of secret negro leagues, inacces-
sible to the whites, have had the
effect to bring all white men into the
Democratic party. On the Republi-
can side. is the negro or radical party.
The line of demarkation is so we'll
defined, that q conservative gives up
his social status, if he even accept a
nomination by the negro party, al
though he make no concessions of
a political character in order to Sc
cure such nomination. The tendency
of things is clearly toward more
strictly defined party division of the
State. While the blacks are most
imperious in their demands, in view
of the certainty of their supremacy,
the whites are uniting, to a man, and
forcing every individual, of every
color, into one or other of the par
ties. There is no more halfway
work. The Democratic Club of ne
groes in Columbia is sustained and
encouraged by the whites, and num-
bers over hundred members. I am
told. These negroes have the best
time of it, for the whites distinctly
announce the policy of patronizing
their friends before enemies, and this
policy is enforced.

EXTRAORDINARY DEMOCRATIC RE-
ACTION IN SOUTH CAROLINA. The
telegraph informed us, yesterday,
that the Democrats had gained a
majority of the Districts in South
Carolina at the recent local elections,
having secured sixteen out of the
thirty-one Districts. There are
about five white Districts in the
State-Spartanburg, Oconee, Green
vile, Anderson and Chesterfield. But
this gives only q faint idea of the
extraordinary reaction in the popu-
lar vote in the State, as compared
with the vote on the new Constitu-
tion. We find that.in Union County
the Democratic gain has been nearly
1000, in Kershaw, over 1,7OO, in
Laurens, over 1900, in Chester, over
l 1000, and so on throughout the
State. These local elections show
the strength of the conservatives in
South Carolina, and are indicative of
what they are capable of doing when
they bring out their entire force.
Beside the practical benefit, locally,
of the conservatives in the South
polling full vote, the moral effect in
the North and West is highly impor-
tanty and we suggest that, hereafter,
at svery election, there be united
effort in all the Southern States to
bring out every conservative vote
that can be relied on. We have
always believed that the white con-
servatives, with such sensible colored
voters as are not under the thumb
screws of the radical carpet-baggers
and submissive to arbitrary military
direction, are. capable of controlling
every State in the South. It would
be o curious, but, to us, q not unex-
pected event. to find the Southern
States instrumental in electing
Democrat as the next President of
the United States. They can do'it if
they try.-Ne,o York Herald. ~

FIRES IN NEwBERRY.-Th kitchen.
flour and smoke-houses, of Mrs. Hen
son, near Jalapa, in Newberry Dis
sx'ict, wore entirely consumed by fire
last Thursday night. The contents
of each building, with the exception
Of small portion of meat, were lost.
The fire is supposed to have been the
work of an incendiary.
On Friday afternoon, another fire
occurred, which at first sight appear
ed to be in town; but it was dis
covered to be on the premises of Mr..
Jack Hair, about q mile distant; and
proved to be kitchen, which was
consumed. This kitchen was the
principal building on tho place-the
dwelling having been destroyed by
fire on Sunday, the 23d of July, 1866,
by soldiers of the garrison then in
command OF this. place. Mr.. Hair
does not live on, the farm, it being

DEMOCRATIC DINNER AT GREEN
wooD.-We, the colored members of
the Democratic Club of Greenwood
and vicinity, take this opportunity of
extending our sincere thanks for the
splendid barbecued dinner given us
on Saturday last, by the white mem
bers of the club.
Our unwearied exertions in assist
ing to carry the majority of votes cast
in the late election, were but the
promptings of our hearts and calm
deliberations of our minds.
We feel truly thankful for the COM
pliment, but would here insist that
the perilous condition Of our common
country calls forth the full extension
of every nerve and grandest thoughts
Of our best minds to thwart existing
evils.
Let us beg the citizens of old
Abbeville-the birthplace of Cal
houn. McDuffie and host of others
to disseminate into every corner and
lndoctrinate into every heart, Demo
cratic principles. Work! work! We
intend to die working! Democrats,
is this not the propitious hour?

ohief Justice chase ON tho situation.

The following confidential letter,
says the correspondent of the New
York Herald. from Chief Justice
Chase to personal friend, has been
handed to me. It SO distinctly marks
the present position and sentiments
OF Mr.. Chase on important political
questions, that I do not feel at liberty
to withhold its publication:
WASHINGTON, May 25, 1868.
MY DEAR SIR: You are right in be-
lleving that I "shall never abandon
the great principles for the success of
which 1 have given my entire life. "
L adhere to my "old creed of equal
rights" without one jot or title of
abatement. I shall be glad if the
new professors of that creed adhere
to it as faithfully
am amazed by the torrent of in
vectives by which I am drenched
Almost everything alleged as fact is
falsehood out of the whole cloth.
Where an allegation has little fact
in it, the fact is so perverted and
travestied, that it becomes falsehood.
l know no motive for all this, except
disappointment that Impeachment
has not thus fur proved a success.
coupled with a belief that I have
done something to prevent its being
success. [ have not been partizan
OF impeachment certainly; but I have
not been partizan on the other side.
AS presiding officer over the trial, my
conscience testifies that I have been
strictly impartial; and I am sure that
any one who reads the report will say
SO. Individually, I have my convic-
tlons and opinions, but I have very
seldom given utterance to them. In
deed, do not think that the case, in
any of its aspects, has been the sub
Ject OF conversation between myself
and more than four or five Senators,
and then only casually and briefly.
No Senator will say that I have sought
to influence him.
The real ground of denunciation is
that have not been q partizan of
conviction; and this denunciation I
am willing to bear. They may de-
nounce and abuse me, and read me
out of the party if they choose. I
follow the old lights, not the new.
What the developments of the fu-
ture may be, I know not. I neither
expect nor desire to be a candidate
for office again. It would, however.
crafty me exceedingly, if the Demo
cratic party would take ground which
would assure the party against all at
tempts to subvert the principle of
universal suffrage established in eight,
and to be established in all of the
Southern constituencies. Then, I
think, the future of the great cause
for which I have labored so long
would be secure, and I should not
regret my absence from political
labors. SALMON P. CHASE.

CorToN CONVENTIONAL conven-
ton of cotton planters and manufac-
turers met in Boston on Wednesday.
Amos Lawrence was put in the Chair,
and made speech, in which he
recited some of the facts concerning
the production and the manufacture
Of cotton, which foreshadowed dis
aster, he said, to those engaged in
manufacturing. Yet the failures had
been few-the immense profits made
IN 1864 giving strength to withstand
losses. There are now 6,4OO, 900
spindles in the United States, which
cost $25 each, or S16O,0OO,OOO. The
capital employed to work them is
$50, 100000, or $3.50 per spindle,
making in all $24O, 900, ,OOO-to say
nothing of shops for making machine
ry and producing supplies, which
may be estimated at 800, 1000, 900.
Seven years ago, one-seventh OF
the cotton produced in the United
States was manufactured here. Now,
we manufacture one-third of the
product. In 1851, the price of cotton
was IL cents; in 1864, 81. 80; in 1865.
40 cents; and in 1867, 151l cents per
pound. These variations were most
unfavorable; but, as said above, the
immense gains of manufacturing of
1864, bolstered up the manufacture
ers.
Mr.. Lawrence then gave an expla-
nation of the objects of the associa-
tion, viz: reliable information to the
manufactures, protection against
unjust legislation, increased capital
to the cotton grower, and improved
instrumentalities for cultivating and
clearing the crop.
He asserted, what all know to be
true, that the United States has q
greater capacity for the production
of cotton than any other country,
and that the markets of Europe could
be regained. He further affirmed
that the heavy staple goods could be
manufactured Mt the South and on
the Western thoroughfares cheaper
than they could at the North.
TO the two classes embraced in this
cotton interest, the chief difficulty
that presents itself, is the abominable
and unconstitutional reconstruction
measures Of Congress. The unex-
ampled and mad revolution which
has placed the black slave at one leap
into the political arena as the equal
of the white man, has inflicted an in
jury upon this cotton interest which
years cannot repair. If manufacturer
and producer would unite in an effort
to redress the outrage by which this
injury was inflicted, they could
achieve more for their mutual good,
as well as the good of the nation,
than they can in any other way.
