EXTRAORDINARY DEMOCRATIC REACTION IN
SOUTH CARoLrNA-The telegraph informed us
yesterday that the Democrats had gained majori-
ty 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 sint the State-Spartanburg Oconee, Green
vile, Anderson and Chesterfield. But this gives
only faint idea of the extraordinary reaction in
the popular vote in the State as compared with the
vote on the new constitution We find that in
Union County, the Democratic gain has been nearly
two thousand, in Kershaw over seventeen hun
dred in Laurens over thirteen hundred, in Ches-
ter over one thousand, and so on throughout the
State. These local elections show the strength Of
the conservatives in South Carolina, and are indca
tive 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 important; and We suggest that
hereafter at every election, there be united effort
in all the Southern States to bring out every con-
servative vote that can be relied upon. We have
always believed that the white conservatives, with
such sensible colored voters as are not under the
thumb screws of the Radical carpetebaggers and
submissive to arbitrary military direction are ca
pable of controlling every State in the South. It
would be a curious but to us not unexpected E.
vent to find the Southern States instrumental in
electing Democrat as the next President of the
United States. They can do it if they hy.-Ne,o

OUR INSOLVENCY..

IF an individual in the ordinary course of bust
ness transactions becomes unable to meet all his
liabilities in full, he thereby loses his standing and
credit in financial circles and just so long as he
remains in this condition of insolvency, so certain
is it that he can make no further progress in his
affairs. He must at once 60 into liquidation pre-
paratory to commencing business anew for it be-
comes impossible for him to operate successfully
against the dstrust created by his inability to meet
his obligations ..
This principle applies alike to communities as
well as to individuals; but operates perhaps more
harshly in the latter than the former. A commu-
nifty of individuals, the majority of whom are in
solvent, is looked upon with general distrust by
business men to such an extent, that even the few
that may be solvent, suffer from the misfortunes
of the majority. Business operations, with them,
labor under the general tightness of the money
market; their credit is more or less impaired the
flow of capital is restrained their local invest
ments rendered precarious advances or credits to
customers and clients made impossible, and bust.
ness operations more or less restrained Andmuch
greater is the hardship cntailed upon the nsovent
from similar causes. This state of things must
continue until the causes producing it, are reno
we'd. There can be no general prosperity where
there is general insolvency. for the two conditions
are 80 directly in opposition to each other, that
they can never exist together in the same commu.
nifty.
The fact that this condition of insolvency per.
vades almost every community in the South and
that the circumstance is notorious, presents suff
cient reasons upon which to base the conclusion
that we can never advance towards prosperity un.
til the conditions be removed. The more speedily,
therefore, those who occupy to each other the re.
ation of creditor and debtor, consent to an adjust
ment based upon the ability of the debtor to pay,
the sooner may We expect the return of that pub
lie confidence which is necessary precursor oi
progress; and following closely in its wake comes
an easy flow of capital, without which there can
be no real prosperity.
The creditor who insists upon claiming the whole
amount of his debt from his insolvent debtor and
is waiting for better day coming, in which he
hopes to collect in full will, we believe, wait long
time, only to become convinced at last that he did
an unfortunate thing not to take what might have
been had when offered. Such men are locking the
wheels of progress as mere gratuity for surely
they must become convinced that such course
will result fruitlessly.

men in every community, in the way of establish
ing basis Of settlement between debtor and cred

Two weeks or more of drought, after the wet
Spring, has given farmers time to clear out the
grass, but is beginning to tell against the corn
crop. Cotton is later than usual, but otherwise

and will fall far short Of the promise it gave some
weeks ago. Rust has been the principal impedi-

The recent impeachment trial gave rise, IT we
believe the newspaper men, to an enormous q

unsophisticated ancient, nothing could show q

their passion for gambling. There is nothing that

incitement to gambling is torpid intellect. Saw

THE PRESIDENCY.

Rumor has it, that Chief Justice Chase has an.
nonnced his readiness to accept the expected plat
form of the Democrats at New York, on the fosrth
of July, and is entirely willing to become their
standard bearer in the Presidential race. The
Democrats ought not to beg him to accept their
honors. The Chase movement seems, therefore,
to be gaining strength, but knowing ones say that
he cannot be nominated. Pendleton's chances
seem to stand next in order, but the knowing again
say, that none of the prominent candidates can get
the nomination; but that it will fall upon some
person whose name Is yet behind the curtain

VETO OF THE ARKANsAs BILL.

WASHINGTON, June 2O.--The President to-da,
returned the Arkansas bill to Congress with hi
objections. The veto message says: "The ap
proval ofthis bill would be an admission that tht
act for more efficiently governing the rebel States
and the acts supplementary thereto, were prope
and constitutional; whereas, the Presidents opin
ion is unchanged in this respect, but rather streng
thened by results attending their execution. j
Arkansas is not a State, this bill does not admit
her; if she is State, no legislation is necessary
to her representation in Congress. Each House
under the constitution, judges the election returns
and qualifications of its own members, and nothing
is necessary to restore Arkansas but the decision
by each House of eligibility Of those presenting
credentials. This is the plain and simple plan o.
tho constitution Had it been adopted in 1865
instead of legislation of doubtful constitutionaliy
and therefore unwise and dangerous, restoration
would long since have been accomplished"
The President again recommends the adoption
of the constitutional plan. The terms proposed
are scarcely applicable to Territory, certainly not
to State which has occupied a place in the Un.
ion over quarter Of a century. The President if
unable to find any authority for the conditions Of
the bill in the Federal Constitution. The elective
reserved by constitution to the States
themselves. The bill fails to provide how Arkan;
sas shall signify her acceptance of the Fundamental
notification. 1t is seriously questioned whether
the constitution has been ratified according to the
law assumed to be in force before its adoption =
The Arkansas Constitution restricted franchise on
its ratification by tests unknown in the Reconstruc
ton acts among them the acceptance of political
and civil rights of all men. 1t is well known that
large portion, if not large majority of electors
do not accept this test, and if applied to voters
North, there is reason to believe many of them
would remain away from the pollsrather than com.
ply with its degrading conditions.
The President concludes ''Should the people
of Arkansas therefore, desire to regulate the elec
tive franchise so as to make it conform to the con-
stitutons of large proportion of the States of the
North and West, and to modify the provisions
referred to in the fundamental condition. what is
to be the consequence? Is it intended that de-
NAL of representation shall follow? And if so,
may we not dread at some future day recurrence
of the troubles which have so long agitated the
country? Would it not be the part of wisdom to
take for our guide the Federal Constitution rather
than resort to measures which, looking only to the
present, may in few years renew, in an aggraya-
ted form, the strife and bitterness caused by legs.

the crasure of the names of two Democrats from

that unless the bill became a law, congressional
