No Fancy Picture.

The more the complexities and
difficulties that the law and its adj
ministration throw about the
qualification of voters and the
conduct of elections, the less are
the chances for, the best, citizen
ship Of the, country to obtain an
expression of its will, through the
ballot-box, when bad and unscFu-
pulous men have control of the
whole machinery of the elective
franchise. So-called safeguards
against fraud then serve equally
to ensure the Preparation and the
impunity of fraud. Revolving for
malities, impertinent objections
Vexatious distractions, insulting
and menacing inquisitions are stu.
dl0nsly multiplied. Good citizens
may thus be kept from registra-
sion or from voting but the sys-
tenn has nothing in it repulsive to
the reckless or characterless. The
consequence is, that all processes,
preliminary and final, of an cleo
ton, become the spoil of political
thieves and bandits. They have
everything in their own hands.
The law, as they use. it or abuse
it, enables, them to, organize all
the mystery they want for the
the accomplishment of their pur
poses. Quiet, peaceable people,
virtually DISTINGUISHED, can only
look on and await results, in the
hope, if experience has not
quenched hope, that their, worst
fears may not be verified. This
is no fancy picture; and yet it is
very faulty, for it falls far short
Of the reality.-[N. O. Bulletia.

South Carolina Politics.

Warrington, Nov. 4.-Informa-
ton received to day from South
Carolina, states that an important
conference of the representatives
Of the Reform party will be held
at Columbia next week, to take
into consideration, as the call
states, 1.-the dangers of the body
polite, and for adopting such
measures as may seem best calcu-
lated to insure the protection Of
society and the political redemp-
ton Of the State" This call pro-
ceeds as follows: 4
"In our anxiety to conciliate the
colored man we have gone just as
far as dignity and honesty permit.
We have accorded to the freed
men a full recognition of all pri-
vate rights, and from that recog
milton we cannot and do not re-
cede, yet no. impressions of mo
ment has been made upon the ne
groes, and, as a race, they as Bit
terly oppose the efforts of the
whites to reform the Government
as they did two years ago. They
are incapable of conviction by
reason, or they are satisfied that
a continuance Of Radical rule will
confiscate to their uses, under the
forms of law, the lands and the
homestead which they are taught
to believe belong of right
to that race. There is too much
reason to fear that the colored men
cannot be won by Cancellation and
forbearance, and while we do not
withdraw one syllable of our &C.
quiescence in his status as a citf.
zen, the white people of the State
cannot pander to his passions, nor
allow him to make white race his
political and social interiors. We
cannot live as we are. The time
is approaching when we must
abandon our country or save it.
The time has Gene when the
white people of the, State should
be fully organized, politically and
socially, in the interest of decency,
security and peace"

we found ourselves suddenly con-
fronted, among the hedges Of

They were crying for money, and
extending their most monstrous
deforgnities almost so as to touch
us with their hands, So hideous
and loathsOme are these creatures
that all pity sinks into a passion
of recoil from them. Their hands
dropping off finger by finger and
joint by9joint; their noses eaten
away, their lips rotted OF, their
voices hOarse and unearthly, their
forms shrunken-oh, / cannot
make words say, in any force of
violence, how dreadfully repulsive
