election of Grant being now conceded
apd5 proclaimed by the Democratic
Press Of South Carolina, the so called
Democratic party Of South Carolina
has stepped upon tho platform of the
so.callcd third party MS advocated by
tho Winnsboro Nc'vs, and is in reality
Conservative Republican party, that
clings, with o delusivo hope that ma
tional Democratic politics CEN aid it,
to'a namo most unpopular with the
eighty thousand black voters in the
State, who surely cannot be expected
to show more intelligence as to names
not meaning things, than tho very
leaders of Democracy, when acknowl-
cdging that things have changed, but
insisting that names should remain.
g. We hold that the anti-radical
party (thc papcr of largest circulation
in tho State has suggested tho name,
though We would prefer not ncga-
tive, but a positive name, such rs
Liberal or Liberal Rcpublican,) be-
ing now q republican party, acknowl-
cdging all the just rights Of the ncgroc,
rhould now study the science Of 'tnig-
gcrology." BY "niggcrology" wc
mean tho study Of the ncgroc character
with the design of conciliatipg the no
groo vote. Hitherto wo could not
even commence the study. But now,
the blaokman's rights being conceded,
we defy the carpot-bagger inccndiary
to mako single bid for the support Of
the black man, that wo, if VIC will
only first examine that bid closely,
cannot honorably and effectually over
bid. The land commission bid, for
instance. 1t really seems to be the
main dependence Of the Radicals.
But it is clear we can manage that.
The lame editorial Of the South Caro-
lima Rcpubhcan, in reply to our pro-
posed method Of dealing with that
cunning clap-trap, is significant.

tion Of our programme "has united

oilice-holdcrs. There must be power
in n programme, that alarms and
antics tho ofiiocsholders. Perhaps,
too, it may Irestrata them this winter,
to some extent at lonst. Itmay make
several that wo could mention bid for
fifty thousand votes. We are willing
to join with suoh as show respect for
our just rights, whom it is in thoir
power to tramplo them. We propose
to watch closely.
