Gov. Manning's argument against
this measure was neither clear nor con-
vincing to my mind The point he
seems to make is the humi1iating thought
that "the people who controlled the Go

time when, it. first became colony are
to be confined to this ono point" He
seems I'd forget that we are now below
this point, and il We are to, ,reaohlit Or

self, il it is but in the direction of what
VIC wish to accomplish. I am III favor
OF this plan of voting for two reasons-
First. l think it is right; right that
minorities should be protected and
heard, and although it might not be pro-
they have to bear their share of the bur-
dens of government, so they should be
permitted to speak and receive an honest,
just consideration for the interest they
represent If the Democratic party of
South Carolina we're in the ascendency,
still it would be just and right that the
minority should be fairly aud honorably
represented.
Second, nm in favor OF it, because it
is one step towards the end for which we
are working.
It is true If this plan be adopted Spar
tanburg may lose one of the present class
OF representatives, and these being good
men it would seem hard to make the OK.
change. But for the general good we
con afford to do it. The good of the
whole State is what we should work for,
and not any mere sectional pride or per-
sonal qualification. The moral effect
that would be produced by the presence
and influence Of forty-fve good mon
would be felt for good. Who can fail to
see how one good man, as ho stands up
in the majesty and strength Of truth aud
honesty of purpose, sends terror and
confusion to the hearts of those hcnt on
mischief SO would tho presence Of
these men deter much of the mischief
and frnstrate many of tho evil designs
that have their origin and co,npletion IN
our corrupt Legislature. l speak only
for myself in this matter, and while l do
not claim that everything may be accom-
piished by It, yet it is worth trial, and
may lead to beneficial results.

ROBBERY. -On Friday night last, two
men, believed to be negroes, forced their
way into the house, near this town, oc-
cupied by Dir. Hugh Omelvaney and his
sister. They ore both aged people, and
Mr.. Omelvaney had been in bed sick for
several weeks, and was, therefore, una
bic to make any resistance. They stole
about $3.50 in money, aud watches, rings
and other things to the value of about
$50. 500 Of the money belonged to
Mrs Nuncy McCants. who had deposited
it with Miss Polly Omelvaney for safe
keeping. Miss Omelvaney could not
identity the men, but believed them to
be colored. ~ Chester Reporter.

VICTOR HUGO AND THE FOURTH OF
,IuLY.-The New York correspondent of
the Philadelphia Ledger, writing on Sun
day last, says: 1.-The International Work
ingnen' 8 Society have resolved to call q
mass meeting in this city to express their
sympathy with the Partisan Communists,
whose real character, they say, is not
correctly understood here, owing to the
persistent misrepresentation OF the Yer
sailles Monarchists. The preliminaries
were arranged last night at conference
in Stanton street. The 4th of July will
probably be tho day and among the
speakers, it is said, will possibly be no
less parsonage than Victor Hngo."

Hotel de Vile, were brought out, their
hands tied behind their bucks, and then
marched ont by the main gateway
through double file OF soldiers, and,
area in front Of the Hotel lie Vile. were
ranged in row and made to kneel down
close together. There was nothing on
the whole plaza but three empty scaven-
ger carts, which stood in p line at the
rear of the prisoners. WHEN the COM
pany was in ltrie aud rendy to fire, Col.
Guizot stepped forward and told the pri-
soners in few words thrt they we're to
suffer death for having been caught in
the act of setting fire to buildings and
dwellings in Paris. At this moment the
women uttered piercing screams aud be-
gan to sway themselves back and forth.
An officer stepped forward and made
them keep still with the fat Of his sword.
A few moments afterwards voliey was
fired, and when the smoke clenred>away

Three Of the womon who were. in the
middle row, between the men, were still

The Radical Game.

If any one doubts the design Of the
election order, or the falsity of the Gov
ernor's promises about a fair and
impartial" election, let him read the
account below of the attempt of a
hired Radical scoundrel to create a
disturbance at Gonzales, a few days
ago.
Here we have the evident fact before
us, that the plan of the Radicals is to
hire the most abandoned and desperate
characters in the State for the purpose
of provoking disturbances, getting
up rows, ETC., in order that the Cover.
nor may be furnished with a pretext
for declaring martial law All the
six shooters, slung-shots, brasskuckles
and clubs; all the desperadoes. plug
uglies and thugs that can be found OF
imported here to order, will be EN-
ployed for this purpose. Let Demo-
Gratis and respectable citizens be Oh
their guard and use every means 10
avoid breach of the peace:
ALMOST Row.-After the parade on Mon
day, and the men were dismissed, some eight
hundred persons assembled under the shade
trees on market square to hear a speech from
Col. Sayers. The crowd was composed of
both white and black, and at the urgent re-
| of NJ ha laAfar 81
mounted a wagon prepared for the purpose,
and proceeded to discuss the several important
issues of the day. He addressed himself
principally 10 the colored people, all of whom
paid him the most earnest and respectful at
tention. In the midst of his speech he was
shamefully interrupted by stranger in the
crowd who denied the truth of his statement
This produced some little excitement, when
the stranger threatened to have a bystander
and Col. Sayers both arrested by the police
and lodged in Jail. The excitement then be-
came in intense, when the stranger put spurs
to,his horse and rode off at full speed to the
Courthouse, the crowd following him. Here
he was very insulting in his language to-
wards several of our citizens who were en-
deavoring to prevent difficulty. The civil
officers, however, promptly dispersed the
crowd, while colored police took charge Of
the stranger and carried him off, 1t was af-
terwards ascertained that this man is q Rad
ical, that his name is Rogers, and that be
lives at Hopkinsville. His whole condu ct
was very disgraceful and uncalled for, and it
is generally believed that he came here for
no other purpose than to create a disturb
ance among our citizons and thereby afford
Gov. Davis pretext for placing our county
under martial law. All the circumstances
justify this conclusion, but the better jude-
ment of our people prevailed, and the evil
intentions of designing men were thwarted.

Mr.. Robertson made a resume of
the various appropriations of the

cient.
Mr.. Mclean opposed the resolution
He thought sufficient provision, a great
deal too much provision, had already
been made. If it was correct it might
be reached in the future by a special
relief bill.
Mr.. Slaughter spoke in favor Of the
appropriation.
