THE undersigned, Chairmen of the several

that the statements made that Mr. A. S. Wal
lace has been duly nominated in the Fourth
Congressional District, is not true. No nomi-
nation has been made by tho delegates to the
Conventions; for the reason that there were
contending delegations from Spartanburg,
and we accuse Mr.. Wallace friends of at
tempting to pack in their delegates, i'll order
to control the nomination. We refused to
submit to what VIC regarded as fraud and
outrage against the rights of the people who
entrusted us with their interest. III the no.

Wallace attempted to place the extra delegates
IN the room. i'll order that they might outvote
the legitimate voters, and thereby control the
temporary organization. This, we would not
submit to, and hence, there could be no nomi-
nation, as the Convention was never organized.
There will be IL Convention called in the Fourth
District, to mako Il nomination of Congress-

WHAT TO Do WITH WHrrTEnloRE.-An
editorial in the New York Tribune says:
We see it stated that Mr.. Whittemore,
the rejected cadet-peddling Congress
man, purposes becoming onco more. q
candidate for the place. from. which he
has been elected. We should like to
know how it happens that this criminal
is at large, to run for any Office. Who
is the District Attorney in South Carroll
no, charged with the duty of prosecuting
notorious offenders against the statutes
of the United States? Why has he for
months neglected this plain case, and
how much longer does he propose to
neglect it?
Here is tho law which Mr.. Whittenore
has broken:
eff any member of Congress shall,
directly or indirectly, receive any pecu-
mary or other valuable compensation for
procuring any Office or place under the
Government, he shall be liable to indiot-
ment for misdemeanor in United States
Court, and upon conviction shall pay q
fine not exceeding $4,000, and be i'm
prisoned in the penitentiary for term
not exceeding two years, and be there
after disqualified from holding any Office
of honor. profit, or trust, under the Go
vernment of the United States."
That the proper officer may have no
doubt as to there being sufficient evil
dence of guilt to warrant the promptcst
proceedings, we recall to his attention
this almost unanimous declaration of the
House of Representatives:
"Resolced, That B. f, Whittemorc,
late member from the First District of
South Caroline, did make appointment
to tho Military Academy at West Point
and the Naval Academy Mt Annapolis, in
violation of law, aud that such appoint
ments were influenced by pecuniary con-
siderntions, and that his conduct in the
premises has been such rs to show him
unworthy of o seat in the House of Rep
resentatives, and is therefore condemned
as conduct unworthy of the representa-
tive of the people, ~
Now why has not this notorious Of
fender been brought to justice? Why
are we threatened with the disgrace OF
another canvass in which ho shall be q
prominent candidate? Why must We be
subjected to the possible humiliation OF
having this man again presented for
membership at the bar of tho House?
We call upon the District Attorney and
the Courts to do their too-long neglected
duty. And we coll upon Attorney Gone
raj Alderman to see that they neglect il
no longer. Open the ponitentiary doors
for him, and let us have Oh end of Whit

The Laurensville Herald, referring to
certain statements. published in the ra-

difficulties in Laurens District. says:
We copy the above from the Charles
ton Republican, clipped from distinct
issues of the Scott organ, not with the
view to give them the lie. but to prepare
the people of Laurens for what the seal
lawags intend.
Now, there has been no trouble in Lau-
rens, except that the Scott militia fired a
hundred guns into the houses of Clin-
ton, occupied by women and children.
No white man was oncerned-nobody
hurt. Jos. Crews furnished the car
tridges that were fired on the women and
children.
Our people are warned to be ready for
any emergency. These scoundrels in
tend mischief. Witness, the paragraph

Organization and Activity Needed.

Organization and Activity Needed.
Tho platform adopted by the recent
radical convention, pronouncing the pre-
sent administration Economical, wise
and honest" and alluding to the "happy'
situation in which we stand, is the best
argument for the reform movement that
any intelligent citizen could want. Here
is body of men containing such spirits
as Whittemore, Bowen, Mackey and other
larger and lesser radical lights, who meet
in solemn conolave and with not word
about the patent corruption and fraud
that have been practised; with not a
word about the Land Commission swim
dies; they laud the situation and illus
trate spirit of brazen effrontery. The
time has come for prompt, efficient, or
ganized action on the part of oil good
citizens who seek the prosperity of the
State. Under the banner of Reform,
now upborne by Carpenter, Butler, Ker-
shaw, and other kindred spirits, and to
be carried from one end of the State to
the other, let all the elements of opposi-
tion to the reigning regime be promptly
gathered. And then let thoso elements
in each County be organized. Without
compact and thorough organization, no
effective work can be done. Let each
County have it's local and general clubs
and go vigorously and energetically to
work.
With the reform movement carried to
q successful end, we can see for South
Carolina bright and encouraging flu
ture. Immigration would be stimulated,
trade would receive an impetus, capital
seek Investments here, and the regene-
ration of South Carolina be quickened.
Peace, security, and prosperity, would
be the result of reform consummated.
Judging from the reports made in the
Charleston Ne'0s and Courier, of the re-
cent meetings ct Pickens, Pendleton and
Anderson, we have no doubt about the
spirit of the up-country. That portion
of the State-than which, no other
portion is moro vigorous, and patriotic,
and true-will heartily embrace the re-
form movement; and we are suro that
no influences that may be brought to
bear upon them, by self-seeking parti-
sans, will divert them from the support
chat is due to reform. Nor will the re.
suit be otherwise in the low country, and
the middle country. Everywhere, the
Intelligence and the property of the
State will be found unit for rctrench.
ment and reform. We ask that tho re.
commentator of the Executive Com
mittee of the reformists, be complied
with, and that q thorough organiza
ton be made in each County in the
State.

lib POSITION OF FRANCE. The New
York Times, which has been notoriously
so French paper" ever since the inaugu-
ration of the present hostilities between
France and Prussia, has completely
changed its front" on the ''secret
treaty" MS q pivot. The Times says:
"The disclosure Of this conspiracy
changes tho aspect Of the whole strug-
gle. The attitude of Prussia, it is true,
is not affected by it, but France oocu-
pics position which threatens her with
disaster immeasurably greater than
any she has sustained since Waterloo.
While pretending to be acting in good
faith with the English Government, Ma
poleon is revealed in the act of con-
irving q coup d'etat for parallel to
which We must go back to the early
days of his rule. Belgium seemed so
secure that no one Of late years believed
in the renewal of French aggression.
Yet at the moment the Emperor Napo-
leon has undertaken the gigantic task of
'subdueing Prussia, he has managed, by
trick of inconceivable baseness, to set
England at his throat. Henceforth it is
no longer an issue between the North
German Confederation and France.
''The power which Napoleon most
breads, now stands behind Prussia with
her sword drawn. It is scarcely possible
to imagine any loop-hole by which the
Emperor can escape from tho not he has
spun around himself. His objects in
waging war against Prussia were at least
debatablc. Count Bismarck's policy has
often been such, as we have pointed out
of late, to cast suspicion on great cause.
But there can be no two opinions with
regard to the attempt made by France tc
entice Prussia into O crime which would
have had no counterpart since the parti
ton of Poland. France seems doomed
to defeat in the awful struggle which she
has taken upon herself, and she will have
to thank the Emperor for the humilin
tion. If Prussia can beat her single
handed, there may bo no outside inter
ference. If sho cannot, it is quite clea,
that tho English fleet and English armies
will go to her support, and when thai
happens. tho days of Napoleon's rulo are
numbered"
