KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE.

On the 18th day of March, 1870, Judge James
L. Orr was interviewed by correspondent of
the New York Tribune, and gave utterance to
the following severe denunciation of the Rad
ical party, with which he is now associated:
''The results of the last three years have sat
isfed the people that all the present evils of
which they complain might have been averted
by showing to the colored voters that they intend
to maintain their new rights Large numbers
of the best men in South Carolina are even now
willing to espousc Republican principles, and
would doubtless do SO bit for the distrustwhich,
as gentlemen of character and intelligence, they
naturally entertain to7oard those arho, by accident
al circumstances, haze been placed in the lead Of
the Republican party-naen aoho do not, and
nercr did enjoy public confidence; men a0ho are
ignorant, corrupt, dishonest and unfit, by reason
Of their early associations, for decent society
They were adroit enough, however, to make the
more ignorant among the negroes believe them
to be their best friends, and By employing aHMt
arts of the demagogue, and an unscrupul0us use
of disgraceful agencies, they succeeded in being
elected to the most important Offices in the
State"

Is Gov. Scott a Public Speaker 2

| The friends and adherents Of the present
Chief Magistrate of South Carolina allege that
the reason he has not appeared before the peo-
pie in this campaign lies in the fact that he is
not public speaker, and that Judge Carpenter
could literally use him up on the stump. We
have no doubt as to the latter statement, but
must defer as to the assertion that he is not a
public speaker. Did he not travel over seven
hundred miles, away from the capital of his
"beloved State" and there make a speech de-
famatory of every decent man in the common
wealth? When Gov. Scott charged in Wash
ington last March that South Carolina was a
nest of assassins, and declared that the Win
chester rifle was the best law to govern the
freemen of this State, he was making public
speech, most certainly. This celebrated effort
was very unsuccessful, it is true, as campaign
argument, but nevertheless it was made by Gov.
Scott in the presence of hundreds, and it does
not become him, or his aiders and abettors, to
deny his capacity to get upon the stump in the
present canvass. Furthermore, in order to draw
the colored people to their mass meetings in the
up-country, the Radical leaders have always and
invariably circulated the report that Gov. Scott
was to be present and make speech to them.
1t would seem, therefore, that like a great many
other Radical arguments, they would have the
white people of this State believe one thing
and the negroes understand another thing. To
the whites, Gov. Scott is excused from speaking
on the ground of his inability to cope with
Judge Carpenter; while to the colored people,
the idea is continually kept before them that
Gov. Scott was about to descend from his lofty
place and give them counsel in true Radical
style. The truth is, and all honest men must
admit it, that Gov Scott feels securein the con-
fdence of the negroes, and he does not care for
the good opinion of the white people, so long
as he can manipulate the negro vote and have
the colored people follow him blindly. He is
the Governor of one party and one race, to the
exclusive of the other party and his own race.
Else why does not Gov Scott answer the charges
made against him By the Reform candidates
He has not deigned q reply, and has shown
an utter contempt for the white people on all
occasions. This he will continue to do, if re-
elected, and he should retain the affection and
devotion of AM black race. But we have strong
hopes that this enchanting picture will be
changed on the 18th of October, and that Gov
Scott will realize the fact that he can no longer
keep the colored man in abject slavery to his
person and party.

Nominated for Congress.

Delegates from various counties in the Third
Congressional District met in Columbia on
Tuesday evening, September 9th, for the p'lr-
pose of nominating candidate for Congress.
On motion, Col. J. P. Thomas was called upon
to preside over the Convention, and Mr. w. E.
Carwile requested to act as Secretary. The
name of John E. Bacon, Esq, of Edgefeld,
was placed before the Convention, and he was
unanimously nominated to represent this Con-
gressional District in the next Congress of the
United States. Judge Bacon has already rem
dcred efficient service in the cause of Reform,
and having received the endorsement of the
party, it is our duty to unite upon him at once
and endeavor to elect him as our Representa-
tive in Congress.

WIN. F. Packer, Ex-Governor of Pennsyl-
vania, died on the 9th ult., at Williamsport in
that State, aged 81 years. Mr.. Packer received
a liberal education, and as long ago as 1880 be
came prominent in the politics of Pennsylva-
mia, prominence which he maintained through
the changes and vicissitudes of forty years. In
politics MIR. Packer was Democrat. His
gubernatorial term of Office extended from
1858 to 1861. In the former year he was the
Democratic candidate for Governor. His op-
ponent on the Republican ticket was David
Wilmot, author Of the ''Wilmot Proviso." A
third ticket, the American, was in the field.
Mr. Packer defeated Wilmot by 1871 MAORI
ty, and his majority over all was 1859.
Through his long life, both as man and as
politician, Mr.. Packer enjoyed the confidence
and respect of his fellow-citizens, and in his
death Pennsylvania is deprived of one OF her
worthiest and most honored citizens.

The Valiant Koge.

1t was announced last week that Solomon L.
Hoge had been commissioned as Brigadier-
General, and had set out upon mission to
Laurens. He reached that place on Saturday,
and after consulting the immaculate Joe Crews,
returned next morning, without the object of
his visit being made konwn to the public. The
Laurensville Herald thus notices our valiant
Representative "The newly appointed Gener-
al, it is supposed, will grace his spurs, having
distinguished himself as foot-knight in 1868,
in remarkable night retreat through Ander-
son county" We presume that Hoge will be
about as punctual in the performance of mill
tary duties as he has been in Congress, and will
absent himself only when it is necessary for
his health.

nsg- Hon. w. P. Price, of Lumpkin, has
been nominated as the Democratic candidate
for Congress from the Sixth District of Georgia.
Mr.. Price was formerly editor of the Greenville
Enterprise and was member of the South
Carolina Legislature for several years He re-
moved to Dahlonega, Ca, which is his native
town. lust after the war closed, and is now a
member of the Georgia Legislature. His abil-
tiles and moral worth entitle him to the highest
positions in the power of the people to bestow,
and we take pleasure in recording the fact that
this just recognition of his services has been
made. The nomination of Mr.. Price is equiva-
lent to election, as the Democracy of that Dis
trict are largely in the majority.

Terrible Freshet.

After an unusually protracted drought, Vlr-
ginia has been visited by one of the most di-
sastrous floods recorded in modern times The
rain commenced falling last Thursday, and the
telegraphic accounts since that time are per-
fectly appalling. The freshet embraced the
upper valley of Virginia, along the Shenan-
doah, and in the region about Lynchburg.
Millions of property has been swept away, and
the destruction of railroad bridges, buildings Of
all kinds, grain, tobacco, fences, cattle, hogs,
horses, &C., is incalculable The number of
mills and dams destroyed within the range of
the food is estimated at fifty. Many lives were
lost at various points, and the details are per-
fectly heartrending The principal streams
upon which this great destruction ensued' are
the Shenandoah and James Rivers. Weregret
that our space is too limited for the publication
of the recent dispatches concerning this terri
BILE disaster.

IMPORTANT TO TOBACCO DEALERs.-The
Commissioner of Internal Revenue has directed
that the laws in relation to stamping tobacco
be rigidly enforced, viz: that stamps used on
tobacco boxes must be put upon the sides of
the box, instead of the head, as heretofore.
The stamp must be so affixed that it will lap
over upon two sides of the box. This will pre-
vent the use of the same stamp for more than
one box. Hitherto it has been an easy matter
to remove the head of the box without defac-
ing the stamp, and thus enable those who were
disposed to defraud the government to use the
same head in dozen or more different boxes
Dealers who have tobacco stamped upon the
heads of boxes will insure the safety of their
stock by at once stamping the boxes upon the
sides. Revenue officers are instructed to seize
all tobacco not thus stamped.

other fiduciaries to sell certain evidences of in
debtedness," &C., be so amended as to extend
relief to such persons who were regarded good
at the time, but owing to subsequent develop
ments and the Homestead Law are not good.
We recommend that they be also included in
the Bill, under such safeguards as the wisdom
of the Legislature may direct.
7. We recommend that the Offices of Auditor
and Treasurer be elected by the people of the
County, and that the Assessors be elected by
the citizens of the Township where they serve.
But in our opinion, many of these offices might
be dispensed with, and we trust that this mat
ter will be carefully considered by the Legisla-
ture at its next meeting.
8. We recommend that the Grand Jury con-
tinue to be drawn annually, as we believe this
to be to the best interest of the County.
9. We recommend that the right to traverse
and the paying of State witnesses be repealed.
10. We find the present fee bill grievous and
oppressive, and especially to the poor We
therefore recommend that the new fee bill be
repealed and the old fee bill be reinstated.
IL. We hold by the Constitution the citizens
of this State have right to elect their Justices
of the Peace, and we recommend that the pow
er given to the Governor to appoint be revoked,
and that the election be given to the public,
according to the provisions of the Constitution.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Importance of the Governors Election.

1t is asserted that undue Importance has been
given to the election of Governor in the pres
ent campaign, and that there is greater neces-
sity TO put honest men in the Legislature, in
order to reform the abuses of past legislation.
We will readily admit all that is claimed as to
the prime necessity for sending good and true
men to both branches of the General Assembly.
But the people should not overlook the vast I'M
portance of electing a Governor in harmony
with the prevailing sentiment for Refrench-
ment and Reform Aside from the immense
power welded by the Governor in pardoning
criminals and making appointments of public
officials, the authority vested in the Chief Mag
istrate to veto all measures enacted by the Cen
eral Assembly is alone sufficient to induce the
most vigorous efforts in behalf of electing an
honest, capable and impartial Governor. 1t is
admitted by men of all shades of political
opinion that neither the Radical or Reform
parties will be able to control the Governor by
two thirds vote in the next Legislature Thus,
if Gov. Scott is reelected, and there should be
a majority of both Houses opposed to him, it
would be quite easy for him to veto any meas
ure, good or bad, they might propose; and not
having the necessary two-thirds against him,
the Legislature would virtually be controlled
by the Governor on all questions of public mo-
ment The people must not be misled by any
specious arguments, but work manfully for the
redemption of the State. 1t is vitally impor-
tant, for the successful establishment of an
honest government, that the next Governor
should be in full accord with the present de-
mand for low taxes and prudent expenditure
of the public funds On the one hand, Judge
Carpenter is pledged to secure this boon to the
taxpayers, in the event of his election. On
the other hand, Gov. Scott has not uttered a
syllable during this canvass that gives the
slightest hope of any effort upon his part tore
lieve the masses of these enormities and op-
pressions 1t is question of plain, common
sense as to whom the people will support, and
we have no fears that the ingenious devices and
miserable subterfuges concocted by the Radical
party, and its aiders and abettors, will deceive
the people, white or colored.

the gentlemen present who were advertised to
speak on that occasion. Large numbers OF
people from every section came here, in COM
nliance with the invitation which had been ex-
tended through these columns, and they were
naturally anxious to know the reason for the
failure of the speakers to attend. But it was
not in our power to crafty their inquiries, and
we are yet without any information as to the
cause of the disappointment
