THE FRIENDS OF PEACE.

The Reform party is the party Of
peace. The Scott.Moses Ring depends
for success upon keeping up question
Of race and alternating the blacks from
the whites. They have already succeed
ed in getting up war in .feclin9, which
is the precursor of war 10 .f;.ct. Their
programme is to iguorc aud rule out the
white population. No country can
prosper whore one half, aud the most
intelligent half, of the population, is
thus prescribed. The Reform party
calls for Union and peace, and gives
fair play aud fair showing TO both
races. IF this country is over to have
tranquility end prosperity, it must be
on this basis. Of course, the pap
suckers and their hired tools will de.
nounce it, for when it triumphs, their
occupation will be gone.
But if the negroes could be properly
enlightened (and evory mau should tax e
pleasure in doing this) they would see
that the Reform party proposes iu no
way to interfere with their rights, and
gives them the good will of the white
race, without which, in the long run,
they cannot prosper.

The Journal Official Of this morning
says -tlie French troops who, to tho
number Of seven or eight thousand, were
engaged 10 the affair before Wsisseu-
burg, had to sentend with two Prussian
army corps, including picked troops of
the Prussiap Guard. The Journal adds :
'.1n spite of inferi0rity Of their numbers,
our regiments resisted the assaults of
the enemy for several hours with ad
mirable heroism, when they were forced
to give way. The loss Of the enemy
was, 80 severe that he did not dare to
pursue, while At Saarbruck we hare
broken tho Pfussian line, aud our own
remains intact"
La Liberts, this morning publishes a
private dispatch sent at midnight last
night from Strasbourg, reporting that
0lcMahOn beat the Prussians yesterday
evening, and that the latter had eyacua,
ted Weissenburg.
Telegraphie communication with Weis

La Libtrte says NlcMahon moved
yesterday towards Weissenburg. He
was but two hours march from that
point, add his men marched at quick
stop. He has between sixty aud seventy
thousand men. To-day there will be
about two hundred and fifty thousand
men concentrated near Weisscuburg.
The loss of the Prussians in the
recent engagement reached ten thousand
five hundred in killed and wounded md

WARDLAW FOR REFORM

During his speech at Saluda Old
Town (Newberry county, Gen. KER-
SHAW read the following letter from
Judge D. l.. WARDLAw, endorsing the
Reform movements:
ABBEyILLE, August l, 1870.
My Dear General-I regret that
during your hurried visit to this place I
had not an opportunity for full con-
ference with you. The labors for the
public good in which you are engaged
merit my hearty appreciation, and
trust will be crowned with the success
which they deserve.
Who is not for an honest administra.
ton Of the affairs of the State? Abb
stract questions upon which heretofore
parties differed, are now superseded by
practical issues which involve the hon
or, perhaps the existence, of our State.
What is established must be ackpow.
lodged. The means Of mproy ont left
to us must not be neglected in idle
discomfort with changes which have
taken place. Is there corruption in tho
administration of orr public affairs p
Are some Of our public offices filed by
men either incompetent or dishonest?
Have there hocn shameful instan ces of
bribery in the Legislature (? Have tho
guardians of the public funds been
engaged in specializing with them for
theii private advantage Have our
crippled resources been burdencd by
taxes imposed arbitrarily and upjustly;
tho public debt enormously increased,
and the public money squandored in
wastofu! extravaganza? Ifthess things
be SO, they must DO corrected before the
return Of the State to prosperity .dsn be
reasonably expected. Every man who
does not derive some advs ntages rom
misgovernment has an interest I'm
putting an end Ito it, and no way Of doing
this SO plain as by turning out Of Office
those who have misgoverned.
have withdrawn from public affairs.
but l cannot forbear from giving my
hearty commentator to those who are
striving to expose and correct public
abuses.
With high regard, I am truly yours.
D. LsWARDLAw.

HOW THEY TRIUMPH!

Last week witnessed the glorious
victory of tho people of North Carolina
over Holden, resulting in giving the
conservatives two-third majority in the
Legislature and Eve out of seven mem.
bers Of Congress. This Was achieved on
idcntica'ly the same plan and platform
adopted by the Union Reform Party OF
this State, which tho people of North
Carolina had the good sense to carry
into the canvass. And they have their
reward, for they have saved their noble
State.
Tennessee has done the same, and
the same good sense and united action
will restore goed government. to South
Carolina.
The Radicals have thus been utterly
routed in Tennessee and North Carolina

SHOULD DEMOCRATS DO

They should unite with all who are
in favor of an honest government and
90 in to win on tho Union Reform
principle. No man becomes Rcpubli-
can by voting for Carpenter, and no
man becomes a Democrat by voting for
Butler. And no man deserts any priu.
ciplo or espouses any heresy by voting
for both. "Let dead issues" remain out
Of view, and adopt the course earnestly
advised by the N. Y. World, which says
it would be folly to do otherwise. This
course has redeemed Virginia, and last
week carried North Carolina and
Tennessee triumphantly for the Con-
servatives. The World of tho 5th inst.
says:
The South can be relieved only by
Northern Democratic Intervention, and
Northern Democrats may claim TO under
stand the public sentiment of this
section better than our impracticable
Southern brethren. Unless they will
permit us to act upon our bettor know.
ledge of the situation, they must resign
themselves to the tender mercies of
Radical domination.
We tell them, therefore, in all candor
and plainpess, that they only rivet their
chains by further opposition to negro
suffrage. It is not by negro votes that
they are oppressed, but by whito votes.
1t is vain for them to inscribc on their
political banners that they arc "whito
mans party" so long as their tyrants
consist Of Congress elected by white
votes. Negro snffragsis 10 tho result of u
whito movement. The negroes did not
ask iorsuffrage till tho white Radicals
put it.into their heads. Tho negroes
would vote rightly enough, If the white
Radicals did not mislead and deceive
them The reconstruction laws were
passed BY Congress in which tho South
were NOT represented at all; by a Con-
grcss, therefore, which was wholly
elected by white constituents. 1t is not
by negroes that the South is oppressed,
but by white men its most dangerous
onomies are the white Radicals.

JUDGE CARPENTERS RNnoasED BY
JUDGE RGLovRR AND THE ORANGE.
BURG BAR.

The bar. of Oraugeburg, upon the
retirement of Judge Carpenter from the
bench, held meeting, Of which Judge
GLOVER Was chairman, and passed sun
dry resolutions complimentary to the
former. In communicating those reso-
lutions to Judge CARPENTER, Judge
GLOVER writes as follows:
Hon. r. B. Carpenter-MY DEAR
SIR: The enclosed resolutions were
unanimously adopted by the memb ers
of the Orangeburg bar, and I am char.
ged with the pleasant duty Of commu-
nicating them to you. Permit me With
sincerity to add, that the praise bestowed
has been fairly won by your honest, able
and impartial administration of pu blic
justice.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant.
