RrprR11cAs TEsr1uoSy.-The annexed

REPUBLICAN TEsTIMoNY.-The annexed
cheerful picture of the "party of great moral
ideas" is drawn by the Beaufort Republican,.
Elsewhere we publish an extract from the
Charleston Repnbican touching thc elections
defeat in that city. The editor takes matters
very philosophically, and frankly gives his rea-.
SONS for such defeat and attributes it toa lot Of
men who managed by chicanery or SOME other
means to get placed upon the ticket-mcn with
out any character-too lazy to work-not brains
enough to obtain an honest living-and the
consequences are defeat-which We hope will
not end Il Charleston or in the whole State un--
til Tie Republican party is purged and purified
of such scutf and scum-what Horace Greeley
very properly stigmatises as "thicves and car
pet-bageers"-cut away these suckers and'
iscoundrels from the body of the party and it
will be an honor to be called Republican
1t is not only in Charleston that the Repub-.
lican party is cursed with these hangers-on-'
every County in the State feels the blighting
influence of this incubus, and which the party
seem destined to carry until some herculean eff
fort is made to shake them off as in Charleston.
No true Republican can look at these things
squarely without feeling sense of shame steal
across his cheek that such things do in reality
exist-and just so long as this fungus is allowed
to adhere to the party-just so long will it be
cursed and lose what little prestige belongs to
it. These are hard things to write-but they
are nevertheless true, and until these impuri-'
ties are swept away, the name of Republican,
will be 4 disgrace instead of blessing.

Nor A RADICAL TRIUMPH.-The Augusta
Chronicle and Sentinel explains the import of
the recent election in North Carolina, and the
Interpretation given by our cotemporary we re-
gard Just and accurate:
s'The Democratic journals of North Carolina
seem to concede that the State has gone against
convention by majority ranging from 5000 to
$4,000 votes-the lowest estimate being, proba-
bly, the most correct. Although the call for
convention was defeated, and although the Re-
publican papers North and South are growing
Justify thereat, it is an absurdity to term the
result Radical victory. The election in North
Carolina last year-when every advantage was
with the Radcals-demonstrate very plainly
that the Democrats had large working major
ity in the State. If they were defeated in the
late campaign, it was not their enemies, but
wing of their own force, which caused the dis
aster. The constitution adopted in 1868, under
the reconstruction laws, declared thata conven-
ton should not be called to amend it until af-
ter ten years had elapsed. The Democratic
Legislature chosen last August voted in favor
of assembling convention without regarding
this provision. This action Heightened all the
timid men in the party, who were afraid of an
other reconstruction in case the movement
proved successful In this belief they were
strengthened by the Radical journals of the
State and of the whole country. The adminis-'
ton also interferred for the purpose of encour-'
aging this idea. The Attorney General of the
United States stumped North Carolina in the
interest of the Radicals, and boldly proclaimed
that if the Democrats were successful-if
new constitution was framed and officers cleo
ted under it-there would be two State govern
ments for Congress to choose between, and left
the impression that the old government would
be the one sustained Under these circumstan-
ces large number of Democrats who were
anxious for quiet, and afraid of Congressional
interference, voted against convention, and
thus the day was lost"

law Suit in Prospect.

A meeting of the citizens of Anderson was
held in the Court House on Friday night last,
for the purpose of considering future action in
regard to the Air Line Railroad. After full
statement of the present condition OF affairs
was placed before the meeting, resolutions
were adopted to the effect that the attorneys
heretofore employed be instructed to proceed
at once against the corporation known as the
"Atlanta and Richmond Air Line Railway
Company" for violation of the chartered rights
of the people of Anderson in. refusing to con-
struct the Road by this place. We expect that
proceedings will be instituted without delay,
and that a legal decision of this vexed question
will be made at the earliest possible moment.

unusual degree of hospitality, and delegates
received the most courteous attention. The
Association WIS held in the new church edifice,
which was completed only few days befose,

PoEr ROYAL RA1LwAY.-N1r.. Gage, the en-.
gineer of this road, has informed the Beaufort
Republican that work has been commenced in.
the vicinity of Yemasee, and that fifty men are
preparing it for use. Three hundred tons of
rails have been purchased in New York, and,
will shortly be en- rout for Battery Point. The
''chairs" have been ordered from Richmond,
and will shortly arrive. Seven. hundred tons
of rails, contracted for by the old regime, were
to have sailed from Europe by the 2lst of June,
direct to this city, but as yet no tidings have
been heard of the vessel. Upon her arrival at
this port. she will be ordered to discharge her
cargo ut Whale Branch, midway between Yem-
asco and Beaufort.

How TO WIN A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY
The Camden Journal, in discussing the Charles
ton election, makes the assertion that nearly
eighteen hundred colored voters united with
the white people in bringing about change of
administration, and conlmcnds them for intel
lipence and courage in thus acting. Our CO.
Temporary believes that similar victory can
be achieved in the State election next year, and
remarks as follows
These men, therefore, are qualified for the
suffrage having intelligence enough to see the
right and character enough to pursue IT.: The
existence of so large a number of colored men
Of this stamp i'll Charleston is most encour-
aging fact, and raises the question whether the
same clement does not exist all over the State;
and if it docs, whether it may not be developed
and made available to redeem the State in the
same manner and by the same means as In
Charleston. Those means were thorough or. :.
ganization just recognition of the rights OF
said last week, we desire to fight this Radical
faction in South Carolina to the end, tooth and
nail, so to speak, and We do believe the Demo
cratic party, raising the standard of the new
departure" can carry the State next year. We
must begin nooO to select the colored men who
are to help us to victory. First, we must look
to their intelligence, and next to their charac-
ter; and one by one we must separate them
from the mass of the ignorant, blind and pre-
iudiced who can never be made to see the right,
OF or are too corrupt or too cowardly to pursue it.
We must confne our efforts to this superior
class alone and show them that the only saliva.
ton of their liberties and ours is the arrest of
Radical progress in the land. Let us now Or
ganize all over the State, and at once work out
this plan Let us show by the end of the year
that there are two classes of colored men
amongst us, and that We properly appreciate
that better class who prove themselves good
men and true, and entitled to be distinguished
from the riotous and savage crew who are ready
to murder, burn and destroy when citizen
dare exercise the freeman's right to vote for the
men and measures of his choice. Let us make
this movement now, and so surely that it cam
not be made to fail.

- Tho New York World in alludinp to Il

The New York World, in aluding to the
recent Tax-Payers' Convention, says: at is
now stated that the reconstructed Treasurer OF
South Carolina refuses to show his books to the
committee appointed by the convention to IN
vestigate the transactions of the financial oili-
GERS of the State, and in comparing this
brusquc behavior with the piteous attitude of
the State government at the time the convcn-
ton was in session, it is hard not to think we
we're right in the opinion expressed at the time
that no fulilmcnt of the abundant promises
then made was intended To tide over tho
session of the convention and paciiy as far us
possible with fair words the just indignation it
represented, without i'll the slightest degree
meaning any surccase of their robbcrics, was
the policy Of the reconstructed rulers of South
Carolina. The convention, possibly, could not
have done more than it did, but with the
Treasurer, hook, CLOSED to inspection the pco-
pie Of South Carolina can hardly know where
they financially stand

A LIVE HOME JoURNAL.-Last October,
Hearth and Home passed into the hands of
Messrs.. Orange Judd & Co., of 245 Broadway,
Now York, the well known publishers OF the
1Anecrican AgriculturiSt-a journal long without
a rival in sterling value and circulation. The
marked improvements then expected to appear
in Hearth and Home have been fully realized,
and it is now one of tho choicest illustrated
Journals anywhere issued for tho family circle,
adapted to both the juvenile and adult people,
and meeting the special wants OF the house
keeper. Besides it supplies very useful chap
tcrs for the garden and farm, and an important
news sheet, giving q valuable resume OF the
news for a week, up to the moment of issue.
From $500 to $500 worth Of worry fine engravings
bcautify each weekly number. We notice now
a still further mark of enterprise on the part OF
the publishers; they have secured the cXcu-
sivc editorial services of Edward Eggleston, so
widely and favorably known by his writings
in ScriJncr's Monthly, and many othor ,naga-
zines and journals, and especially as tho chief
experimenting editor Of the Nco York l7tde-
pendent for some time past. With this notable
addition to the previously large and strong
editorial force, 1IEARTH AND HOME cannot fail
to merit and command a prominent place i'll
every household, in city, village and country.

- The Southern cotton crop for the season
just closing has been by far the largest i'll ten
wears Besides contributing their share toward
this increase of the Southern staple. the rice
product of the Carolinas and Georgia for 1870
was, according to Commissioner Wells, $4,000
tierces, as compared with $4,000 tho previous
year. Such is tho steady material progress of
a section where Radicals would have us believe
that "nearly every negro man and Republican
white man has slept in the woods for months
every night1-and where the rest of the .popu-
lation do nothing but go about like roaring Ii
or. seeking whom they may dcvour"

The Weather and Crops.

This vicinity was blessed on Sunday last
with refreshing showers-the first in more than
six weeks. Not enough rain fell, however, to
assist the crops materially, and at this writing
the prospect is gloomy, indeed. Throughout
the county, and especially in some sections
more abundant and frequent rains have fallen,
and the condition of corn and cotton may be
set down as somewhat improved.

Ky,) have created one of the most liberal and
noble benefactions over conferred by public
institution upon any people, The Trustees oi
this College havo instituted one Beneficiary
Scholarship for each Congressional District in

full information in regard to all that is necessa-
ry for him to do to secure one Of these Scholar
ships. With proper and welcome delicacy the
names of those who have secured tho Bench
