Recent wants indictte that spirit;
of rerjrm has reached Col'etOn. OD
the 20lh inst, clu"us of delegates
from all parts of the county assembled
at WATERFORD for the purpose OF con-
sullation, and to make out and prepare
plaus for their future course in relation
to the public welfare. II was under
stood to be caucus purely of co.ored
| men, who intended to take such steps
as will in the ensuing election secure
the administration of public affairs up
on a new basis. After considerable
difficulty, through much opposition,
created by parties not delegates, but
employees of individuals whose inter
esls seemed to be in opposition to the
henest intentions Of tn s. cOlored men
who had thought proper to throw off
the shackles Of party machinery and in
the spirit Of freemen to assemble and
to discuss means to promote their true
interests. Mr.. 4. 2. Holmes was cleo
ted chairman. And here it is proper
that 7 should remark, Mr.. Holmes as
a representative Of the people in our
State Legislature, has discharged his
public trust in commendable manner.
In his reply to the circular of y. 0.
Jones, E,q, clerk of the House Of Rep
rescntatives. reg Nesting his signature
to a call for an extra session OF Il e
legislature, Mr. Holmes says, my sig
nature is respectfully withheld, believ-
ing that the public inter, sts Of the
State would not be bist promoted by
the early reassembling Of the General
Assembly. nor would existing evils be
remedied."
1t has been reported, that our Sem
ator is actively engaged in this call for
an extra session. We very much doubt
if in 80 doing he represents the wishes
of his constituency, but how should he
know what are the wishes Of his con-
stituents? He seldom comes here. lie
may have reasons for staying away.
We do not mean to say that he is
like The r ,man pro consulS who paid
large sums for their offices, and in Or
der to compensate themselves extorted
large amounts from the inhabitants,
nor that the rumors which have been
set afoat by some one. who it is said,
have confessed to paying black mail,
are true. But we imagine that this
extra session was not to be called with
out purpose, and that the hope of
gain was not the least consideration.
One might at least make pin money"
out of the job. And it was this call
for an extra session Of the legislature,
among other things. which induced the
call for this caucus. After the hire
lings, who foisted themselves upon the
meeting were fairly worried out OF

Politics in COlleton.

At meeting held in the town of
Walterboro on the Goth inst, by the
colored Republican delegates of the
polling precints of that county, Mr..
A. P. Holmes was elected chairman
and E. A. Bra5ham, Esq, secretary.
The following subjects were introduced
and acted on.
We, the repre- sentatives Of the people
of Colleton county, in caucus assem-
bled, for the purpose of reviewing the
history of the present administration
of public affairs in the State Of South
Carolina, and to devise means of
escape from some Of the evils which do
exist, declare
!. We find the finances of the State
have been SO mismanaged as to bring
the State almost to q condition of
bankruptcy.
2. While the administration of the
federal government has thrown around
us its protecting influences, and by
every means in its power, supported,
sustained and enforced the rights and
privileges of the people, and it is en-
titled to our Acknowledgements and
ENDORSEMENTS, our State administration
has been weak, vacillating and ex
travagant, and it is undeserving our
confidence.
3. We believe in a free llot-box,
in free speech, free schools and free
press, and these we we will support.
The election law must be strictly and
honestly enforced.
4. We meal to be liberal and will
not allow personal prejudices to in
fiuence us in our actions toward our
fellow men.
5. We will require fitness and good
character as necessary qualifications
for office and we believe that as far as
practicable, there should be a just dis
tribution of offices among all classes of
citizens upon purely Republican prin-
cipes.
+. The present State administration
having failed materially in al. that was
expected fromit, We shall risk nothing
by a change of public officers. Iu
working for this change we will adhere
to the doctrines and principles Of the
Republican party
The following preamble and resolu
tions were also adopted:
"Whereas, there is an apparent dis
position on the part of some Of the
Republicans of our county to create a
split in 4he Republican party in this
county, and then to take advantage
of the disruption, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the representa-.
tives Of the Republican citizens of Col
Teton county. in caucus assembled, dc
pledge ours Ives TO repudiate any mar
or Sci Of men, who may attempt t.
create spli. or rupture within oul
rarks. Also, r solved, That a con
vcntion Of the Republicans Of tie
county of Colleton be held on the day
previous to the regular County nomi
mating convention, and that the chair
man of his caacus be Instructed +,
communicate the same to The leading
Republicans at each polling precinc
within the county.

harmoniously and patriotically in its
work. Having laid a foundation, they
will 60 on and build up purely Re-

part from republicanism, but they
say they mean to purify the so-called

Spontaneous Combustion.

NrIom tuo peuAVIu inquirer, Son
Several weeks ago the new stable of 8.
8. Metzger took fire and burned 10 the
ground In the midst OF q drenching rain:
no fire had been used about the building;
and there was no way OF accounting Tor
the origin OF the fire but by attributing It
TO an incendiary or 10 spontaneous CON-
bustion. The man engaged In painting
and finishing Mr.. Metzgers new house
had been granting shutters for the house
In the stable during the day before the
fire; but 1t was scarcely thought possible
that the fire could have originated from
that source. The stable having been
burned, the painters next day transferred
their granting 10 the celler Of the house.
That evening the inmates Of the house
discovered o smoke and smell ofburning
cotton or paper issuing from the cellar. An
examination disclosed the fact that the
oiled rags used by the painters In granting
had been thrown together In o corner
and had ignited by spontaneous combus-
ton and were just bursting into flame,
This timely discovery saved the house
and settled the question as to the origin
Of tho fire In the stable, Next day O nail,
keg was partly filled with the oily rags
cast away by the painters and set In the
sunshine in the yard. In few hours the
rags and key were found to be on FIRE
Very few people are aware Of the danger
arising from such source,
