d trustworthy, and who can be

ligent and trustworthy, and who can be
elected?
1t is folly to believe that the split in the
Republican party will set two Republicans
in the field, and 80 divide its strength that
a Democrat can be elected. The Republi-
cans are determined to carry the city elec-
tions, by hook OF by crook. They will not,
for the sake of this man or that, expose
themselves to The probability of failure
At the eleventh hour one candidate would
be Withdrawn at any cost, and the fight
would be as before, between Democrat and
Radical, resulting, as surely as the sun
shines, in the crushing defeat of the Dem
ocratic candidates.
There is but one way to make the city
secure, and that is to refrain from making
any Democratic nominations. We may then
hold the balance of power, end elect mod
crate Mayor ard respectable Board Of
Aldermen. There is no other counsel that
CON now be offered to our people, and we
are firmly of the opinion that o contrary
line of conduct will be tantamount to guar
anteeing the election of Mr.. GILBERT PILLS
BURY and @ Board of Aldermen of the same
complexion with himself.

The N1illedgeville Recorder, a well known
Georgia paper, gives to the cotton planters
the following sensible advice: Eve would
"advisc our farming friends to sell all their
"cotton at the present ruling prices-23,
"o4, o5. Don't hold with the expectation
"that you can gel 80 cents. Cotton may
ego up to that sum, and then again it may
"not. Be contented with q good paying
"price, and allow the buyer margin to
"make little som mething for himself. With
"out the speculator, where would your cot
sston be in price? 1t is to him that you
ssare indebted; for in his desire to make,
ehe buys and holds to throw up prices. He
"wants to get his profits out Of the manu-
"facturer, who must have cotton. Don't
discourage him from buying, for if you do,
"dOwn goes the price. Give him margin
'to encourage his bids, for il you drive the
"speculator out of the field, the manufac-
"turer will have it oil his own way. You
ocan make nothing by embarrassing the
"speculator. He has the capital, and will
''invest in something else, if driven out of
"the cotton market"

CHI A R ES TON
MORNING, OCTOBER 81. 1868.
Mob Law.

AS was to be expected, the murder OF
Randolph, on Friday last, has been the sig
nal for other acts Of violence. On Sunday
a white man was fired on near Newberry
C.. H. by o party of negroes; on Sun
day afternoon a railroad section-master
was shot and seriously wounded by ne
groes near Clinton; on Monday morn
ing the colored President. of the Union
League at Newberry was killed by party
of white men; on Monday night mob Of
negroes assembled in Columbia for the pur-
pose of assaulting oolored Democrat who
had been on stumping tour and was ex-
pected to arrive in that city by the evening
train.
These outrages, following each other in
so rapid succession, indicate what will be
the consequences throughout the State If
vigorous measures are not. at once adopted
for vindicating the offended majesty of the
law In this matter we know no distinction
of person or of party. We do not desire to
attach the blame to either Democrats or
Radicals, for both have been at fault. But
we maintain our proposition that every man
is entitled to equal protection under the
law, and that no man, whatever his color,
should with impunity take the law into his
own bloody hands. This is the position OF
every thoughtful man in this community,
and it is the only one consistent with our
political professions, as well as the practice
of our lives.
The colored people, to their credit be it
said, have, in this district, behaved soberly
and WE'LL under circumstances which were
calculated to arouse their bitter feelings.
They evidently understand that the great
mass of the people of the State are not re-
sponsible for the deeds Of. o few lawless
men. They doubtless know the inevitable
result of any deliberate attempt at counter
violence; and they are, we believe, disposed
to rely upon the lew for their own protec-
ton, and the punishment of the m1rderers
of their fellows. This they may safely do; for
in such course they will be sustained by the
white men of the State, who, while they
demand the fullest security for themselves
and their families, are resolved that equal
security and protection shall be given to the
whole colored race. No political feeling
will in this obscure the vision of our citi-
zens. They know what is just and right,
and will act'upOn their knowledge. OF this,
we hope, they will soon be able to give
substantial and unmistakable proof
