A Radical Meeting

Was held in Walhalla on last Saturday
We were not at the stand, as the day was
very warm and the speaking some distance
from our place Of business. We arc informed
some two TO thrco hundred persons were pre-
sent, mostly negroes. One Of the speakers,
we arc told, said they wanted fair election,
and they would have it or blood. We sec no
disposition on the part of our people to desire
anything else but fair election. Our oppo-
nonts have all the means in their own power
and we only ask them to be charitable and
give us what is ours, free vote, fair count
and a faithful return. Col. GRAHAM, of
marion, is reported to have said, his (the
radicaD side must win, because it had the
control of the purse, the sword and the ballot.
box. We hope neither of these elements of
strength will be used in the sense alluded to !;
but that the voluntary votes of every citizen
peaceably deposited will be honorably counted
and returned. This is all VIC ask

The County Canvass.

The apparent indifference and inactivity
of our candidates for County Offices is ccnsu.
rable in the highest degree. The issues at
stake are of Importance to every good citizen,
and the field Of Legitimate discussion is wide
aud inviting. While the nominees will re-
ceive the general support of the better class
Of citizens, they should not set down with
their arms folded and expect everything of
their friends. Party nominations can only
be made effective through the earnest efforts
and active interests of the nominees them
selves The endorsement they received
through tho County Convention is strong
spoke in the wheel, but they, in return, owe
a duty to their friends. The County election
is not all of the issue at stake, and should
not SO be regarded. Go forth and battle for
the cause of Reform. Our opponents are
actively working in way worthy Of a better
cause, and shall these representatives of the
property and intelligence of the County
CLOSE their mouths lie that seeks prefer
ment should work and win it. They 90 out
with our God speed, but their election must,
in part, be due to their own vigorous efforts.

Lecture.

Rev. DR.. TURNER, professor in the New
berry College, delivered on Sunday night,
at the Methodist church in Walhala, the
first of series of lectures he purposes to de-
liver to young men, at such times as his
other duties will permit. Among the dan
gers to which young men are subjected, he
mentioned two arropos to our present con-
dition. The first is hcedlessness or blind
ness to, or disregard Of the consequence Of
their actions. Young men are too apt to act
hastily from excitement, not counting the re.
suit, and thereby to involve themselves and
their friends in serious trouble. An appa.
rently trivial matter often is pregnant with
Of terrible saa @'ggnnGqsdbs ggnG sbsakeA AGe o
the instance Of fly having deposited an egg
IN the bark of tree, which was afterwards
used for ship timber. When the vessel,
frcighted with human souls was far from
land, Travelling with the waves and winds,
this piece Of timber gave woy, and all the
lives on board were lost. The decay pro.
duced by the worm from the egg deposited by
tho fly had weakened it, and such were the
consequences. In the present heated can.
vass, our young men cannot be too guarded
in their conduct. A single act heedlessly
performed might involve themselves and their
fniends in serious trouble
The next danger Of young men is the want
offlrmness, This, too, is great evil. After
one has weighed well an act, and found it
right, he should perform it with frmness and
fearlessness. His energies should not be
suffered to become crippled by reason Of des.
pondency or fear of want of success. This,
too, applies to our present condition. While
we should act with cautious regard to right,
when satisfied as to our true duty, we should
perform it without hesitation. Lct us. all
then determine in this canvass to do our
whole duty, only restraining our conduct by
proper consideration for the right. and put
ting peace and order paramount to evor7
ether consideration

Crime.

| Every reader of the New York journal.
must DO amazed at the daily record of crimes
committed in that city. Scarcely night
passes, but tho morning light discovers some
new deed of human dcpravty. Murder, sui
eide, and burglary are among the fashionable
fruits of darkness. Instruments of peace and
common utility, such as the axe and the
shovel, arc converted into weapons of 'obbery
and murder. This cxcites no comment as to
the law. abiding character of that people
The reader may be astonishcd at the frequent
repetition Of these horrible crimes in great
city, enjoying high civilization. and living
under the moralzng influences of the Press,
the Bar, tho Pulpit, and the other lights of
tho Nineteenth Century. This is all we hear
of it. Crime is crime there If one man
kills another, it is called murder. There is
no effort to give it political significance.
The Ku klux has not even an imaginary ex.
istence among that people. They SEQ no
need of arming the militia for the prcscrva-
ton of order or the suppression of crime
The peace of society is entrusted to its lcgiti-
imato protection, the strict aud impartial cx.
ccution of tho civil law. Why is not this
the case in South Carolina Why cannot
our Northern brethren view us in like
light? Why is every little assault paradcd
before the world as an instance of political per-
secution? There have been moro and greater
crimes pcrpctratcd in the city of New York
in one mouth than in our State in twelve
month
We look upon crime as the Legitimate fruit
of human depravity Wherever society cx.
lists men will be found who, with or without
motive, will violate the laws. Any difference
of opinion, political or otherwise may prove
the source of difficulty, which may result in
homicide. But that man who wilfully mur
ders colorcd man, will, when occasion offers,
equally readily kill white man There is
no need or sense in ascribing such acts to 20
lticaI partizanship. Whatever be the motive
in any case, we hold that crime in this State
is of rare occurrence; that the civil authori-
tics arc amply able, in every instance, to vim
dicate the laws; and that the arming of the
militia is not only useless, but has tcndcn-
cy to excite rather than mitigate the evils it is
pretended to cure. Arm an ignorant mob to
suppress crime or to preserve order 1t is
adding fuel to the flame, and the Governor
should know it.
