RRFORM IN HORRY.

The Horny Ne,cs. of the 9th inst.
contains an account of u meeting held
at Conwayboro' on the 4th, in the
interest ofthe Reform movement, which
seems to have been gotten up and COM
posed chiefly of colored citizens. A
large number Of them assembled in the
Court House, aud having put Braxton
Brown, one of their prominent leaders
in the chair, Hon. j. T. Walsh, one Of
the Delegates to the Reform Convention,
was called upon to speak, together with
T. w. Beatty, Esq, Col. 7. F. Gillespie,
aud Augustus Thompson, and Rev. H.
Jones, colored. The meeting was har-
moricus and enthusiastic Fhe follow.
ing preamble aud resolutions we're
unanimously adopted;
Whereas, We the citizens of Horny
County Of every race aud color, have
become satisfied that we have been
guilty of grievous mistakes, which have

general welfare Of our native State

errors, We will bury the past and will
hereafter strive together in the cause OF
Honesty and Truth.
That we heartily approve Of the priu-
ciples set forth in the Platform adopted
by the Convention at Columbia on 18th
June last, and declare that they should
be supported by every true son of South
Caroline.
The Ners says:
On the adoption of these resolutions
the meeting adjourned amidst loud
applause, and hearty striking of hands

Never before, not even in the days oi

COST OF MANUFACTURING COTTON
YARNS.

It is stated, says the New York Econ.
omist, that the cost of manufacturing
cotton yarn in the cotton Statos is Eve
cents per pound less than At the North.
There is no reason why cotton yarn and
cloth cannot be much more sheaply
produced in the South than at the
North. Cotton, in its manufactured
state, 10 very bulky commodity, and a
dangerous and risky article of transport
tatiou. 1t wastes immensely, also, as
dirty or wet portions are unsaloable ox-
cspt as paper stock, Tho establishment
Of factories need not cost any more at
tho South than 1t the North. It is oou-
ceded by manufacturers that steam pow.
or, ell things considered, Is as cheap as
natural voter power, SO the absence of
water privileges need not initiate
against tho erection Of cotton factories.
Labor can bo obtained az plentifully and
chebply IN the cotton growing States az

party and tssst the negro as onr equal.
The Columbia RAewin and The Charles
ton Nesos take another method Of com.
batting our views. They point to the
high character and standing Of some Of
the leaders Of the Reform party, and
claim that the honor Of our State is safe
in such hands. We are inclined to say
to these writer's as Lady Teasle said to
Joseph Surface, "Dont you think we
may as we'll leave honor out of the
argument" As test Of the sincerity
of these "honorable," call honorable
men," we will put question.
Suppose, as is now rumored, the Re.
publicans should nominate Cardoxo for
Governor, will the Reformers support
him : No one has ever doubted his
honesty, NO one has had any charges to
bring against him. He is Republican,
native South Caro!inian, = man of
good abilities and fine education. IN
addition to all these claims upon their
sympathy, he is sufficiently colored to
identify him with the negro race, who
should, according to the Reform doc,
trine, have q full share of the Offices.
We think We hear these gentlemen
indignantly reply-"We have already
pledged our support to the Carpenter
and Butler ticket" What then be-
comes Of the freedom from party
shackles which was 80 eloquently urged
at the Convention, and which is q large
element in all their arguments against
the "League."
This attempt to bolster up a cause
with the names of men who have hith-
erto been true to the South, ought not
to carry any weight. Do we not re-
member how that great writer and
able statesman, Hammond, abandoned in
1858, the whole of bis former princi-
Piles, because he thought he saw the
prize of the Presidency looming up
before him,f Have we not seen the
gallant Longstreet, he who hurled our
columns against the foe with courage
unsurpassed in the history Of the war,
have we not seen him, embrace the
corrupt and rotten carcass Of radioalism,
in its worst and most disgusting form.
It will not do to tie ourselves to
names. We want principles, and if
they come to us unheralded by ancestry
let them wear the simple garb of truth,
and We will follow them.
When those to whom We should look
for counsel and for guidance, in this
hour of peril, invite US to the orgies Of
negro equality, and their direful con-
sequonces-we repudiate their teach.

on the 4th July, says:

We have already, in these columns,
explained our opinion Of this movement,
and expressed our sympathies with the
objects Of the leaders of the Reform
Party. Governor Bonham, au houored
and distinguished son of South Carolina,
with public aud private record beyond

with the new movement. Butler, Ker-

Guilty resulting in the death of at least
one person by bayonet thrust, occur
red at Gadsden, yesterday. It Seems
that meeting was being held, for the
purpose of appointing delegates to the
Radical Nominating Convention. which
assemblies in this city on the 22d, when
the friends of the different parties-not
satisfied with abusive language-came
to blows. From tho mass Of exciting
reports in circulation, it would seem
that Philip Epstein (white) called
Senator Nash id liar, when the
latter knocked him off the platform.
Some of Nash's friends resented the
insulting language and assaulted Epstein;
whereupon colored man, named Wash
Bynum, drew his knife and used it in
discriminatory and effectively, wounding
not less than seven or eight persons,
Bynum was run through the body with
bayonet and instantly killed. The
fight now became gcn eral bayonets aud
fence rails being the weapons used.
One Of Governor Scett's militia COM
panies was on parade, which accounts,
our informants soy, for the presence Of
the death dealing implements. Probate
Judge Wigg, Senator Nash, Represen
tative Thompson and other prominent
Republican Office holders and seekers
were present, but succeeded, by q pro-
per use of their legs, in reaching the
railway train. A colored man, named
Sye Davis, says he thought he made the
best time on record, but found that the
individuals mentioned above were
equally as good on run.
1t is impossible, owing to the exotic.
ment and the contradictory statements,
to learn how many persons were severely
hurt--tho estimates ranging from thirty
to one hundred. The last seen of Mr..
Epstein, ho was making good time down
the road, pursued by several infuriatod
oolored mon, with rails in their hands,
and serious fears are entertained for his
safety. The crowd was so dense on tho
railroad, that tho train was forced to
move slowly for somo time, to avoid
crushing into tho excited mass. Pas
sengers assure us, that when tho train
left, the battle was being vigorously kept
up, and, doubtless, other lives we're lost.
One member Of the "Republicau Band"
of this city, was wounded in the Log

1t becomes our painful duty (says the
Marion Star, 9th instantly, to announce
to day ono OF the saddest cases Of death
by drowning, that has probably ever
happened in this section. Last Satur.
day, Mrs. G. p. Bolton, the daughter
of our friend T. w. Boaty, Esq, of
Conwayboro', and we'll known to many
of our citizens as Miss Cora Beatty,
while bathing with her little sister in a
lake near ber fathers house, ventured
too fur, and both were drowned. A
colorcd man seeing their danger, hasten
cd to their rescue aud was drowned.
About eighteen months ago.. tho
deceased, then Miss Boaty, lovely girl
of sixteen, was married to Charles
Pelham Bolton, one Of the most talented
and promising young Lawyers in this
part of the State, and when wo saw
them on their return from their bridal
tour, We thought that lorg and happy
life strewed with fowors was before
them. But ia this VIC we're sadly dis
appointed, for in less than one month
from our announcement OF this happy
marriage, it was our painful duty to
announce the death Of My. Bolton. And
to day, ere the once happy wife had
laid aside tie habilimcnts Of morning
for the one whom she had chosen as the
partner of her life, we have to announce
her demise 10 tho unfortunate manner
referred to.
