VINO M"st Lfkely to support hioRes.
There ls one thing in which the
Union Herald writers perfectly agree
in yesterdays paper. According to
one Of them, it is the evident purpose
OF the Democrats to sustain Moses,
either by their votes or silent inhn-
ence; according to tho other, th. evi.
dence of this is furnished 10 the state
ment of Senator Robertson, that he
has heard such thing mentioned.
How easy for men to believe what they
think it their interest to believe
They suppose that there is a certai
odium in the Conservatives support.
ing Moses, una they love to lay it on
thick. But such allegations deceive
no one. They nrs only sure proofs Of
the desperate condition of those who
use them. These are the same men
who in the Union Herald lot off Moses
and Maxwell. when between them they
"lost" the joint resolution to prosecute
Parker; and the same men who shield.
ed him when he evaded and braved,
by the use Of Minort's troops, the ser.
vice of writ of the Court. And We
are not go sure but that they will sup
port him yet for Governor. Why
not? There is not particle OF reaso n
against their doing so, according to
their own laws of political conduct
But there is great deal to prevent
Conservatives or Democrats accepting
the same peculiar rules They cant
"tnrn about, and wheel about and do
just so."

Intelligence, composed of five white
and seven colored citizens, selected by
the prisoner, who had forty challenges.
The evidence developed the fact that n

THE ArTEMprED ARREST AT BEnroN.

The ATTEMPTED ARREST AT BHLroN. =
Representative Cochran. Of Anderson
referring to the statement in the
Union Herald that the feeling in Beltor
was very strong against Mr.. Darling
and that it was only by strong dis
play of personal courage that he was
epabled to escape the mob assembled
at tho depot to prevent his departure,
snye:
have received reliuble Information
that no mob ssembled ut Beltou Ia
prevent Mr.. Dnrling's departure. A
few Of the friends Of tho d.ceased,
(uot citizens Of Anderson County,
when they asc.rtnined that Mr.. Bar.
ling was on board tho train, deter
miu'rl to urre. him, but. utter npusut-
lug with ou. Or more lawyers. they
were Informed that Il would be unimw.
ful ~ mnke the arrest without u war
rant. While trying TO procur. !. war
rnnt. the train left. Dues IT look
reasonable that mob wonld regard
tho law and wait for warrant buforc
making the arrest? am satisfied Mr..
Darling did not intend to convey the
idea that he was in danger of the (>o-
called) mob, or that the citizens of
Anderson County would do injury to Il
legally constituted officer in the dis
charge OF his duty. Anderson, ns is
we'll known, is one of the most pros
porous and law-abiding Counties III tho
State. Until her citizens act to the
contrary, let her keep her laurels.
While We would be pleased to have
the troops spend the summer with u.s.,
rest assured none are needed at Bel
ton. or any portion of Anderaou
County, to protect al officer fro LII I,
mob.

TIE SPREAD OF JOURNALISTIC ISDE.
pENDENcE.-The careful render Of
newspapers cannot fail to notice sig
nificant change for the better within
the past six months. They have
grown more independent and less par
tisan. The number of old fashioned
organs, papers which praised tho party
through thick aud thin, can now be
counted on the fingers. and, if the list
be confined to the daily press, one
hnnd will supply the digits needed. 1t
is hard work to find a journal, always
excepting those in Washington, which
does not occasionally indulge in criti-
cism. and the vast majority condemn II
good deal moro than they praise.
There are doubtless two causes for this
encouraging change. One is, that tho
independent press hns demoralized the
organs and made their business unpro-
fitable, by giving the public moro
satisfactory article; and the other is
tho bad condition of party lines and
the tendency on all sides in favor nf
boiling. g.-Ne,o York Tribune.

ing predictions concerning ,be fall

vass, but as the course Of the five

whole satisfactory, the result ns to
them cannOt be in doubt. Vermont is
sure for the Republicans In Ohio,
Iowa and Indiana, the Democrats aud
independents have hatterlng pros
pect. In Georgia, the Democrats will
elect the full delegation. It is impos-
sible to predict who will be counted
in" in Louisiana. Alabama and Della
ware are in doubt. with the chuucer in
favor OF the Democrats. Kansas will
probably go Republican,. and Massn-
chusetts the same, with some doubt ua
to the Districts of Dawes aud Hoar.
Michigan, it thinks, is welded to its
idols. Missouri will elect an entire
Democratic delegation, with possibly
one exception. and replace Schurz
with a Democrat. New Jersey is in
doubt, with the chances in favor of the
Democrats. In South Carolina. any
change will be surprise. In New
York, the Democrats will make large
gains. No one Gun venture to predict
tho result in Illinois and Pennsylvania,
but the chauces are in favor of large
Democratic gains. In Arkansas, the
Democrats WALL elect majority OF the
delegation. Florida will go Republi-
can. Kentucky and Maryland will
elect unanimous Democratic delega-
tions. In Minnesota aud Wisconsin,

some members. aud Texas IL snre to he

A REPUBLICAN ON CIVIL R1aurs. :

1iEPCBLlCAS ON CIVIL RIGHTS -
Hon. W. F Hall, Of Merriwether, Ga.,
q prominent Republican and a mem
ber of the Legislatures OF 1868 and
1870, writes letter to the Griffin
NerS. in which he discusses the Civil
Rights Bill. and takes strong grounds
against the measure. He says:
As to the Civil Rights ;Bill, it is
wrong in principle. ali tho citizens oi
this country, irrespective of race. color
or nativity, are equal before LIE law
are equal in civil aud political rights.
That ia enough. No wise man will
ask more. Our social relations ought
not to be made a subject of lcgisla
ton. Taste. habit, feeling. inclina
ton, ought and will in the end control
them. Tha Civil Rights Bill is the
offspring Of fanaticism and ambition.
Of oourae, hope it will not become q
law. If it docs. evil and evil only will
be its fruits. and the more evil to the
Yankee race.

his immediate election. It is sought

has determination and vigor. He is

by the British Government, his long
exile and his eloquent voice and effect
I've pen. exerted in this country in
behu]f of constitutional government
and against the insidious approaches
OF dsspotio power, have deepened the
attachment which his countrymen feel
for him. He will be strong acquisi-
ton to the home rule party. 1t is to
be hoped that the British Government
will make NO difficulty about his return
to political life, upon the ground that
his term OF punishment as u convict
has not expired. He is no friend to it,
but the gravamen Of his opposition is
his belief Of its injustice and wrong to
Ireland. He loves his country and is
able to serve it with distinction and
advance it BY his counsels. The field
upon which he now proposes to enter
is one Of wide usefulness. We trust
he may here realize his highest expect
ations, and that the storms and trou.
bles of his past life may be contrasted

success OF it's closing days
