The gentlemen who were arrested in Sum-
ter and indicted on the charge OF being con-
nected with the party of men who, last Oc-
tober, made threats against Mr.. DuBose and
Mr.. Robertson, and afterwards burnt their
stores, have all been discharged. In the
strongest case, in which Mr.. Robertson and
his employee swore to the identity OF three
of the party, the accused were acquitted,
having proved by the most conclusive and
upimpeachable testimony, that Mr.. Robert
son and his man were entirely mistaken in
their suspicious.
But the gin-houEe OF DR.. J. B. Witherspoon,
three miles from Sumter, was burned on Fri
day, and the Clubhouse OF Mr.. 7. 3. Fraser
was burned on the previous night. These
are the natural results Of Governor SCOTS
proclamation, which was plain invitation
to the negroes to take the law into their own
hands.

The CoLorcd Vote.

The only plausible objection that can be
urged against a persistence in the policy Of
manly ard uncompromising antagonism on
the part of our white people towards the
men who represent Radiculisnl III South Car
olina, consists in the fancicd danger OF re-
pelling from our ranks those intelligent COL
ored voters whose aid will be so necessary
in hurting from power the present dishonest
and abominable State Government.
1t would, OF course, be idle to deny that
the larger portion OF the negro vote will, in
any event, be cast against us. But the col
ored people are not all fools; and, though the
majority OF the ignorant field hands through
the country may still be deluled into sup
porting the selfish knaves whose catspaws
they have been so long, there is large and
constantly growing element among the COL
ored population whoshave the shrew1ness
to see thattherc is and must always be full
identity OF interest between the whites and
themselves. Bitter experience has taught
them how unscrupulous are their Radical
masters in making pledges and how faithless
IN performing them; and they are fast OPEN
ing their eyes to the systematic selshness
OF leaders who, in every instance, quietly COB
BILE the official oyster while they throw the
shell to their black dupes. From this class
of the colored people, who, already strong in
numbers, are even stronger in intelligence
and influence among their own race, welook
with confidence for help in the great work Of
the political redemption Of the State.
The white people are ready to guarantee
to the colored citizen the full enjoyment Of
political equality and Of all the rights to
which he is now entitled by law. We may
not offer the ''social equality" or the forty
"acres and mule" which have formed the
staple of Radical promises ever since the
close of the war; but what wlo offer, W,
mean in good faith to give. Showing the
freedman as we can and shall do, that it is
only from those among whom he has been
born and reared, and not from strange and
hungry political adventures, that he has to
hope for substantial and steady assistance in
his efforts to better his condition, we shall
gradually but surely win him over to work
with us for the common veal The white
men of our State can each bring, on an av-
eraxe, at least one colored man to the polls
to cast vote for the overthrow Of Radical
ism. Active zeal and individual exertion
only are needed to accomplish this result.
With colored vote added to every white
vote that can be polled against corruption
and robbery, where would Scott, Chamber
lain, Kmpton & Co. be? Are not the in
terests at stake worth the effort? Let the
taxpayers ponder it we'll

4 "Lost Cause"

THE Columbia Pdtenic OF Monday has
striking leader upon "thc duty of the Amer
:sican patriot in this period of his country'S
"carccr," in the course Of which it says:
"The Wnnsboro' Ne,ss take it for granted
''that the principle OF State rights is gone
"and gone forever. We take issue with the
Z" .Nees There is lost cause, but this is
"not it. We admit that it may 20 down
''beneath the Surging waters OF centralza-
.stioa. We admit that it reels and tottcrs
"bemeath the blows that it is receiving.
"The country has decided against the right
"of secession but there are State rights and
s'there is State sovereignty Short OF seces
'sion, and there are great States, North and
'sSouth and West, that still cling to this vi
sstal doctrine, ami there is, too u great party
''that still pats this forth as its cardinal
''creed No, not yet have we despaired of
':the republic as its case may now
''be. Not yet have we given up the cause
'of constitutional government and OF free
"and cocqual States. 1t may suit some men
"and some journals to take the current, as
"it passes by in its mad career and with its
"turbid waters and call it their irresistible
fate so to do. But not so with others of
"more hopeful aud faithful souls. They in
'sintend to struggle with the storms offate.
"They intend to take arms against sea OF
"troubleS, and by opposing, end Them Aud
"we will remind our friend aud all others of
"'littIe filth, that scattered all over this
sbroad country-from the lakes TO the gull,
"and from the ocean to the ocean-are good
"and true men, mostly of the Democratic
'party, who, with the cooperation OF patriot
sic recruits from other parties, intend to
"make persistent effort 10 overthrow the
"dominant party, and to bring the country
''back to its normal condition"

The Negro Candidates for the supremse
Bench.

After all, ". J. Whipper is not to be al
lowed to walk over the course and seat him
self without opposition on the Appeal Bench.
The friends OF Wright are working like
beavers, and the contest will he sharp and
close. And, in truth, the place is worth
fighting for, apart from the dignity OF the
thing. The Associate Justice is to be elected
for six years, ending in 1876, and this long
lease OF the judicial ermine warrants des-
,perate struggle. 1t may happen, however,
that the expected division OF the colored
forces will enable white man to slip into
glory.
Both Wright and Whipper are pretty well
known in the State, but a word about them
NAV interest "outside barbarians," who
know little cf the personnel of the South
Carolina Legislature.
Wright is State senator from Beaufort. lie
is Northern negro of some education, and
did claim to have been admitted to the bar
in Northern city. He has all the charac-
teristics of the full blooded African, and is
now bringing suit against the Richmond and
Danville Railroad because he was elected
somewhat unceremoniously from the ladies'
car on that road by a very rebellious con-
ductor.
Whipper, whose star is in the ascendant,
is as black as the ace OF spades, but qu1st
and unobtrusiye in his manner. He was
raised in Detroit, and during the war joined
a regiment OF volunteers. When freedom
came in he found himself in Charleston,
where he practiced in the provost courts.
subsequently he practiced law in Beaufort
He was delegate to the Constitutional Con-
vention of 1868, and represents Beaufort in
the lower house OF the General Assembly.
Whpper is shrewd and sensible fellow, but
very poor lawyer, although he was en-
poyed by the General Assembly to codify
the laws OF the State.
These are the two candidates. 1t matters
little which wins.

We are we'll aware that Congress, in its
own opinion, is omnipotent, and that, ac-
cording to the received Radical doctrine, the
powers OF the majority are limited by their
discretion alone. Yet we can scarcely be-

Bingham to pass bill making it "an Of
"fence punishable by flne and Imprisonment
"for any person to propose to repeal the rat
"tlcation Of any proposed amendment to

Strike at Granitcyille.

A correspondent writes that the spinners
Of the Granitcville Factory struck on Thurs
day morning for higher wages, asserting
that their pay was wholly insufficient as
compensation for the work done. There was
at the time of writing every indication that
the strike would fail of success, as by l
o'clock the superintendent, Mr.. George
Kelly, had filled nearly all the vacant places,
and the work was going on as though moth
ing unusual had happened.

GORGO SUGAR AND REIN e D
- SYRUP.

We would invite the attention OF Planters to
the consideration Of some OF the advantages In
the cultivation of S0RGO as Crop, which are,
the small amount OF lnbOr; the hardy character
of the plant in its ability TO endure without ma
terinl injury. both drought anu wet; It's freedom
from the attack OF worms; its early maturing,
and the fact that the Seed and every part OF the
plant ls Of great value.
In consequence OF The imperfect method
hitherto adopted in preparing the Juice OF this
Cane there las arisen prejudice, and the belief
that Sugar could not be produced, but only very
inferior Syrup. But, by the discovery Of the
Southern Process, these opinions have been COM
pletey reversed in the minds OF all those who
lave examined anu tested this Process. as they
realize tlat not only pnrc Syrup, superior TO the
best Chemical Syrups of the Refncrics, is pro-
duced, but also Sugar equal to the best New Or
leans, in such quantity, as to make it without
doubt, the most profitable crop that can be plant

Coins of the New Testament.

And when he had agreed with the laborers
for penny day, he sent them into his vine
yard. Matt. Xxx. %.
A penny day seems small compensation
for laborer; but the coin in question was not
the penny of the present day, but was a de
aarius, silver coin, the intrinsic value of which
was fifteen cents This gives one better idea
Of the value of labor at that time And it shows
that the good Samaritan was more liberal and
generous than the usual reading of the text
would indicate. Luke X 35. He gave the poor
man that fell among thieves two silver coins of
the value of thirty cents. We have reason to
believe that was at that period ten times as vau-
able as 1t is at present; In other words thirty
cents would buy as much as three dollars would
now. 1t thus appears that the Samaritan, be-
sides the other valuable things, wine and oil,
which he bestowed upon the injured man, gave
the s'host'' money enough to pay the boarding
of his guest for some time, perhaps for several
weeks, because this interesting event happened
in the hill country of Judea, between Jerusalem
and Jericho, where the charges at the inn were
probably quite moderate Thus liberal pro-
vision was made for the Intervening time which
would elapse before the benevolent man would
return from Jerusalem. And in case be should
be delayed in his return, he said to the inn
keeper, ''Take care Of this man, and whatsoever
thou spendest more, when | come again I will
repay thee This generous and neighborly
conduct of the good Samaritan our Lord COM
nends, with the injunction, ''Go thou and do
likewise ". 81.
