Disband;ng the NIiIitia.

The Columbia Phenir, of Tuesday
last, says: The Governor was wait
ed upon by several of our citizens yes
t,rday, and the conditions of affairs &C.
riously discussed. He expressed bis
earnest desire to preserve the peace,
and promised to do all in his power to
accomplish that end. The colored
guard in charge of the State arms has
been removed, and the care Of them
turned over to the United States SOL
dicrs. Drilling and parading colored
companies, at late hour of the night,
has also been prohibited.
We are Informed that the Captains
O! the different militia companies in the
District were served with an order from
the Governor, yesterday, requlflne
them to return the arms issued to them.
This is move in the right direction,
and will teId materially to allay the
excitement. 1t is presumed the order
has been extended throughout the State.

A Nice Body of Commissioners.

Kcrshaw County can boast of Com
missioncrs of Elections, who proceed to
canvass the votes FIVE days before the
law allows them. They begun with
needle and thread on last Friday morn
ing, to hang up the Reform Party
All around the festive board, in the
Probate Office, sat expectant radical
candidates for official honors, with coun-
tenauces wreathed with 'lcompiacent
smiles whilst the learned commissioners
counted out and threaded the ballots,
the various managers and others keep
ing "tally."
One of the Rcformers happened in
about the time they had stluDg up fifty
or more, and was so taken by surprise,
that he did not know what to say, and
finally, taking pity upon their ignorance
he read for their benefit the election
law. 1t fell like a bombshell, in the
'"happy family" Two of the Commis-
sioucrs vowed they had never seen the
law, and he other said he had read it
carefully. They then proceeded to ask
with great trepidation, what we were
going to,do, but we declined giving an
answer. They next desired some disin-
terested party tocount the votes and see
il they tailed. That proposition was
also declined. At seeing that their
nerves were paralyzed, another Reform
or present, suggested that they had
better put ballots, needle and thread,
together, back into the box and replace
the cover which was finally done done.
This is the character of Scots ap-
pointees.

Our Duty.

We have reflected upon what was cur
duty under the present circumstances.
We have long since made up our minds
that we would be defeated in this cleo
ton, and are therefore, not at all sur
prised or angry at the result. We have
though, unaiuchingly and earnestly,
advocated the claims of the Party of our
adoption, and We do not now, nor will
we ever regret that we have
done SO. Our adhesion to the
Reform Party was the result of honest
and conscientious convictions. Our
opposition to the Radical Party and its
measures, as we'll as its exponent, the Re.
publican, was equally CONSCIENTIOUS,
honest and earnest. We desire peace
as we'll as any other man or Set of men,
but We feel convinced, that the white
man of South Carolina will be denied
that peace which brings prosperity, as
long as the doctrines upheld and preach
ed by the adherents of the Radical Party
are advocated by its leading men and
organ. 1t is like the happy era of the
millennium to the manner in which these
enemies of peace, cry out to US to for
get that we have been engaged in po'
litical campaign, and 60 on with them
shoulder to shoulder in tho march Of
progress. The question is: shall We
forget the past? We say, by all means,
no. Our hearts and feelings are inter
ested in that past; particularly, the

The Boston Traseiter, welcoming
little rain which fill there the other
day, remarks: l.a - -
1t is hard to make citizen of Boston

has been experienced for many weeks by
large sections Of New England. 1t re-
euires sight to realize fully that the
pastures, and even the fields to great
extent, have been US brown as in De-
ccnber; and that cattle, for weeks, have
been fed at barns, as in mid'wlnter;
that brooks, aud streams, and ponds,
and springs have been .ons exhausted
except in rare cases; and that 1t has
been as necessary for our: farUers to
ecouomize in this use Of water as for
ships company when on allowance.
And yet this has actually been the con-
dition of large sections of New England
for weeks past. The state of the coun'
try was not only distressing, but really
alarming; for in case of fire the inhabl-'
tants were utterly detcnce!css.
