Win at Home.

An excellent up-country newspaper-tne
Laurensville Herald-explaiDs, very forci-
bly,, the reasons why our public charity
should begin at home. 1t does not, Tor
moment undervalue The Importance oil a
Democratic victory in 1872, bnt it canuldly
declares that neither Democratic President
nor Democratic Congress could heal the
wounds, or remedy the evils, from which this
people suffer. The only certain and constant
cure is an able and economical State govern
ment. Until that is secured, as our contem-
porary rightly says, all other questions are OF
minor Importance. The Herald concludes
it's article as follows:
"To secure the end 80 much TO be desired, q
spirit of concession must prevail. The good
men and conservative men OF all parties must
unite In the herculean effort before US; and no
issue, which has tendency TO distract. or keep
old wounds fostering, should be permitted 10
enter The contest We want the whole LOAF If
we can get il; but II we cannot, we prefer the
half LOAF 10 none at ALL for 1t s certainly the spir
1t of true patriotism, In all great emergencies.
to secure TO the country the greatest possible
good Leaving national questions, for the
tend to the work TO be done in our midst.
Upon the victory at home depend the peace
and prosperity oil our State, rather than upon
the result OF the general elections throughout
the United States. To work is 10 win. Let
every nan, then, 60 TO work as If success de-
pended upon his individual effort, feeling al
most we'll assured, If Conservative larly cun
carry the State elections. that we will De count
ed among those who gave their strength to Sc
cure general Democratic triumph. Be lnis
as 1t may, we must be sure 10 win at home"
A policy similar to that which the Herald
proposes has already been suggested in these
columns. We grant that purely Conserva-
tiYe movement will not suit the politicians,
but their loss mag prove the peoples gain.
A corrupt and tricky political government
Injuries every man in the State, except the Of
fce-holders who share in the general plum
der. A just and thrifty government benefits
every citizen OF the Commonwealth. And we
fight against the present State administra-
ton, not because OF the political opinions OF
its members but because they are, with in.
significant exceptions, wastefu, incompe.
tent and wholly disreputable. And in advo-
eating the formation OF Conservative party,
when the time comes for organized working,
we simply desire 10 bring together all honest
citizens; not for tho defeat OF Republican
doctrines or for the victory of Democratic
truths, but for the election-wilhout regard
to par,y-of public officers whom all classes
and colors can respect and trust.

BOLLIN.-Dled, In Columbia, S. G., on Thurs.
day, the 23d ult., Mr.. CHARLES J. BoLLIN, In the
5Oth year OF his age.
Mr.. BoLLIN was born In Marsellles. France. and
came 90 this country at a very early age. Accus-
toned from the beginning to h W his way by his
own eXertiCns, he engaged at once In business
where his labors were crowned with considerable
success. A quarter OF a century ago ne entered
into the employment OF the south Carolina Rail.
road Company, and for q long series 0f years held
the arduous and responsible position OF agent or
the company at Columbia HIS fidelity, his ener-
~ and MS devotion to the interests OF the com:
pany caused him to be held In high esteem. and
when, a few months since, falling health com.
PEELED him to tender his resignation, the board OF
directors unanimously adopted a series OF COM
pllmentary resolutions acknowledging his long
and faithful services, and bestowing upon him q
natlering token Of their high appreciation and
regard.
As a citizen Mr. BoLLIN was universally respect.
ed. Public life was not TO his taste, but he serY.
ell with credit az an alderman OF Columbia and
was for several years a director OF the Exchange
Bank Of that city. In both positions he justified
the confidence reposed in hun, anu merited, and
received, the approval OF his elbow ciilzens.
The life OF Mr.. BoLLIN was not eventful. when
we have said that he was unsell h, generous and
atiectionate the tale is well nigh told. But no
friend or foe ever appealed TO MIN IN vain. Inc
gates OF his biz heart were never closed. A child
like tenderness OF word and manner marked his
intercourse with his relatives, aud with the near
or ones and dearer ones who now mourn his loss.
And II q veil uf doubt and misfortune darHened his
closing da, on earth, IL wa only, in Gods mer.
CIV, thai there might he greater Joy in heaven
over the wanderer who died In the bosom OF the
church, reposlng his every fault, with trembling
confidence, in the bosom OF his crucihed Re-
deemer.
May he rest In peace.

threats have destroyed property to the value
of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and
almost namberless lives. Heferner was leader
in this hellish band, andEwas arrested for the
cold-blooded murder Of an unarmed stranger.
On Friday night, q cold, blustery evening, the
vigilance committee met at Armory Hall, on
B street, 30 quietly that few knew anything OF
the matter. Sentinels admitted only those
who had the password, and sent all others
about their business. There were not far
from one hundred of the vigilants assembled,
and all were armed with pistols, shot-guns and
the muskets of the Emmett Guard,
which they found and took possession OF
at the hall. About ! o'clock the snerln
and under.sherif at the jail were aroused
by a knocking at their door, and, drawing the
holt, a dozen men with levelled guns rushed
In and demanded the keys. They were re-
fused, but searched and found them, when
thew soon took out Heferner and led him to
the Ophir mine, where a beam projected from
a building across q deep cut for a car track.
Across this a board was placed, on which the
prisoner was made to stand while a rope was
noosed around his neck and fastened to the
beam overhead. Heferner was cool and firm,
protesting his innocence, and making no con-
fessIon. When the small board upon which ne
stood was removed; he gave a spring upward
at the same time, making his fall still greater.
His body was found in the morning, still sus-
pended where the vigllants left 1t. The nands
and feet were tied, q towel bound across the
ewes, and pinned to the left lapel Of his coat
was a small placard, on which was written !:
s.Arthur perkins-Committee No. COL" The
coroner,s Jury rendered the obvious verdict.

The "CounciI of Safety"

A Radical paper, with a bray as OF trump
cts, prints what it calls a most remarkable
document-"The Constitution ofthe Council
stof Safety of South Carolina" This docu-
ment is said to have been in the possession
of our Radical neighbor for several months,
and 10! it now demands to know whether the
constitution is a forgery or a genuine article
We now see this so-called constitution for
the first time, and we print it that the people
of the State may become acquainted with
ssthe secret political society" which pro-
poses, il there be such a society, to preserve
the peace, to enforce the laws, to defend the
persons and property Of the people, to
labor for the restoration of constitutional
liberty as taught by our forefathers, and to
reform abuses in the State and National Gov
ernment. These be noble purposes /; they
are the purposes for which all good citizens
should live, and, if needs be, die. Secret po-
litical societies are not to our taste. We
have always condemned them. But it
must be admitted that there are times, in
the history of every nation, when the dagger
of the assassin and the torch OF the incen.
diary can only be met by organizations
which, by their secrecy, rapidity and GER
tainty of action, will strike terror into
the breast of evil doors. That South Caro-
lima may be spared so grievous a calamity,
is the earnest hope Of all who have her in
terests at heart.
We know not whether the Council OF
Safety has any active existence +; no"
do we know more Of its plans, il it
does exist, than is set forth in the So
called constitution. This. however, We
frankly say The "Council Of Safety" pro-
poses nothing inconsistent with law and
order nor does it appear to contemplate
any other forcible movements than those,
as in Laurens and Chester, which are de-
manded by the supreme necessities of self
protection and self defence.

The May Convention.

So great is the agitation among all classes
of the people upon the subject OF Debt and
Taxation, and so general is the determine
ton to find a way-or straight, or crooked
out of the difficulties and dangers which be-
set the State, that the Convention invited by
the Chamber of Commerce and Board OF
Trade Of Charleston will no doubt be held,
and will, it is hoped, be'a worthy exponent
of the views and desires OF the taxpayers OF
South Carolina There is no political axe
to grind. The plain purpose is to give those
who pay nine-tenths OF the taxes, while they
have no voice in imposing them, an oppor-
tunity of counselling together, so that the
people may obtain, if possible, some securi-
ty against o continuance OF the profigate
legislation which is fast running the State,
and has already brought thousands to the
threshold of the poorhouse.
That the Convention, if composed OF the
right men and acting in the right spirit,
will do good, there can be no question.
The people, cropping about in darkness. ask
for q guiding light. They demand that, If
there be a peaceful remedy for all our
troubles-and we believe that there is-that
the remedy shall be put before them. I'm
less this be done the younger citizens OF the
State, driven to despair, will not be restrain,
ed from cutting the knot which their elders
fail to unite.
OF all times, this is the time when the
grave and thoughtful representatives OF the
wealth, intelligence and virtue of South Car
DINA should assemble in council for the sal.
yation of their people. But, that their
words may have weight aud power, the del
egates to the May Convention should be
chosen with %scrupulous care. They should
be staid, responsible men, of high position
and moderate opinions, recognized through
out the State as citizens who do not weigh
personal ambition in the scale with the pub
lie good. Such q body will command re-
spect at home aud abroad. Its recommen-
dations will not be idly made. And if the
Convention shoald succeed in solving the
social aud financial problem, its members
will, indeed, have deserved we'll Of the Com
monwealth. They may fail, but it is their
duty, and ours, to exhaust all the means
which suggest themselves for redeeming
South Carolina from the incubus of igno-
rance aud vice, social disturbance and finan-
cial trouble. For what may come there
after, this people cannot be held to account.

Counting Up the War.

The German newspapers are counting up
the wonderful results of the seven menths'
war, which was declared in Paris on July
10, 1870, was virtually brought to an ind
by the capitulation Of Paris on the 18th
January, 1871, and was finally closed on the
18th February. The war lasted 2lO days.
During the first seven days Of the wal the
armies from North and South Germany were
concentrated, and within thirteen days their
strategic march to the frontier was accom-
plished. The army, numbering between
500, 900 and 600, 900 men, was transported
over five principal lines OF railroad, each
one forwarding daily on an average, $4,000
men, together with the necessary horses,
artillery, munitions and vehicles Of trans
port. Four corps da'mse were thus con-
yeyed to the French boundary, some OF
them 800 miles, some 500 miles, and, during
the transportation, men and horses had to be
victualled and cared for. This is the most
extraordinary concentration OF an army on
record. History has nothing 10 ompar
with it.
Deducting. the days lost in concentrating,
and the time which elapsed between the Ca
pitulation of Paris and the treaty Of peace,
we have, for the active duration OF the war,
$50 days. During this time the German
troops fought Ii grand battles and l56 bat
ties OF less importance, captured rs fortified
places, 600 pieces of artillery. l2O eagles or
flags, 1850. officers, and 1863, 900 men.
This, on an average, is 8 great and rs
smaller battles, 4 fortresses, 20 eagles, lilo
pieces of artillery, 1850 officers, and go, 500
men a month. This gives a fortress taken
every six days, a grand battle every ninth
day, and q minor battle every day. This
looks on paper like a triumphal march, yet
one German regiment, the 18th, lost 81
officers out Of 81, and 1913 men out ef 5000.
The SD regiment also lost So officers, 7
colors and 1881 men. Most Of the regiments
of the Sd Corps lost 40 to so officers, and
1000 to HOO men-proof that there must
have been desperate fighting.
