Political Notes.

The RAIDS say the Democrats are
opposed to Free Schools. How about
the RAIDS who tried to pass tho Civil
Rights Bill, and thus destroy them oil /
= This Democrats Of Lincoln county
have nominated John S. Wilkinson to
represent them in the next Legislature.
= Tho Democrats Of Boone county
have selected John Powell as their
candidate for the House Of Delegates.
- Tho Republicans Of MonOngalia
will not hold their primary election I'm.
til the 18th Of September.
The JacObins aro very much
alarmed aud dilgruniled because the
Democrats arc tremendously holding
conventions aud making nominations
all over tho State. It destroys their
prospects Of another "limited co.part.
ncrsbip" with the Republicans. Don't
you sec?
The Republicans and Jscobins of
tho First Congressional District arc in
a right smart muddlc-The Jacobins
want to run John j. Davis again, and
some Of the Republicans favor the plan,
as the only means Of defeating Col.
Wilson, but the large majority Of the
Republicans think that inasmuch ms
they supported Davis before, the ia.
collins. should now support Republi.
can, particularly as they comprise a
large majority Of tho mongrcl party.
At the election in Kentucky, on
last Monday, the Democrats carried
the State by handsome majority.
There was great falling Of in the
Republican yotO in nearly every coun.
ty. The Civil Rights Bill and the
uncivil salary grab and other thciying
schemes, are doing tho business. Ii
is operating like Paris Green on The
potato bugs.
Gen. Butler predicts that there
will be Democratic Governor and
three Democratic Congressman elected
in Massachusetts, this fall.

CAN WE 1R U;s1, 1,HEarr

Before every election the Republicans
have been just as blatant about reform
MS they are now, and yet the result
has always been from bad to worse.
Judging from the past, we have little
to hope for in the future, and that flu
ture is still more darl1ened now by the
prospect of nothing better than Cham
berlain for our next Governor. 1t is
boasted by his admirers that no Off
clal wrong can be fastened upon him !;
but however this maybe, he is not clear
OF that suspicion which his past asso.
Citations have brought upon him, and
which makes him very inconsistent
candidate of the champions of reform.
If the Republicans really wanted re-
form they would hardly select as their
standard bearer the boon companion
of Scott, Neagle and the rest of the
State house Ring. Surely if they can
not find an honest Republican out side
ofthis company, they must be in u bad
plight.

ACCOUNT FOR YoURsELY YEs.

The Taxpayers Convention passed
resolutions and formed. on paper, a
complete immigration Bureau; but
judging from the fruits, the work does
not seem to have progressed much, if
any, beyond the paper upon which the
resolutions were written. We believe
it was made the duty of the Delegates
from each county to go home and in
augurate the movement in their sew
eral counties. In some of the counties
this duty was,in manner, discharged;
but was it done in Orangeburg? Dele
gates from Orangeburg, we call upon
you to answer this question, and to
give an account ofyour stewardship.
in this line! We pause for a reply!
The people you represented are enti-
tied to it.

A Trip to Cherokee Spring.
/ ICHEnoKEE SpRIEo. Auo Ok /

ohAhohEE 'ohEE oPRIKo, Aug. 70, 1874.
My family and self left our home to
visit this delightful summer resort a
week ago. We were worn out when
we got to the village of Spartanburg,'
Tor itwas tedious days journey. Hay
ing to remain at Alston from 8 o'clock
until l o'clock, there was nothing to
while away the hours, but look at Mr..
Elkins fine crop of "ku klux" corn, the
finest 1 ever saw. This curiosity in
farming, each farmer had to go to the
field and see for himself.
When at Spartanburg we had eight
long miles to travel in the night with
out moons light. Dreadful we
thought the road, although our driver
informed us that it had been worked
and wasi in fine condition. Our hack
was very full. Two of the largest
ladies of the lower country. with chill
dren in their laps, occupied the back
seat, a good size man with child in lap,
grown servant girl and child of six
occupied the next, or middle seat; the
driver and a boy of twelve years aae5A,
o stout two hui hpana7ed Z srfedaand and fifty pound
man had the front seat. Thankful to
the c,lrcful driver and safe footed
mules, at 10 o'clock we found ourselves
in front ofthe Cherokee Spring Hotel
half alive and half awake (the young
ones having been lost in slumher hours
ago). Our land lord mot us with a
hearty welcome and soon invited us in
to sumptuous SUPPER enjoyed it
and retired for the night. 1 took sew
eral days to get over the tiresome
journey, but the delicious water, brac-
ing atmosphere, and generous and
nicely gotten up fare has completely
revived me. Fruit is here in an
abundance, and the finest kind of mel
ons of the sweetest varieties. Captain
John Bowman ofyour county, with
lady and son are over here in fine
spirits.
A calico ball came off here last
Tuesday night. The young ladies
looked like they were dressed in hand
some silks. The hall and parlor were
dressed in wreathes which looked 30
cheerful. Ice cream and cake were
plentiful on the occasion. Spartan
burg sent some of her handsome gents
to dance with the fair daughters who
came from different parts ofour State,
who think came here for pleasure, for
they look too fresh and sweet to say
they have bad health. This is truly
healthfnl and delightful resort. 1
recommend it to you my low country
friends who have chills and fever all
summer and almost shake to pieces in
September. Here is the place to cure
all diseases. Board is cheap and pleas
ure plentiful. Come and see for your
selves. A VISITOR:

It advises that "both classes of our
citizens be represented in the nomina-
tions by the best men of their own
selection" General Kershaw in his
recent letter, also recommends about
the same course. After referring to the
change in public sentiment at the
North he says:
After all, however, our relief depends
mostly upon our own people. Let them or
ganize and consolidate all honest men who
can rise above unworthy prejudices and party
slavery, to rescue the State from anarchy,
ruin, and, in the end, a bloody despair.
There are others, on the contrary,
who strongly advocate edo nothing
policy;" who seem 10 think that in
some mysterious way things will change
for the better, in time, without our
agency. To such we would say that
We do not object as much to the mac
tivity as to the want of organization,
which invariably leads to disintegra-
ton.
We admit that since the rejection
by the colored people in 1870 of our
proposition to disregard color and
party, and look only to honesty in the
election ofmen to office, we arc un-
willing to put ourselves in the humili-
ating position of going to them again,
unless they show disposition to
abandon their preiudices, and meet lis
half fway; but we cannot see why their
refusal to cooperate with us, should, in
the slightest drgree, cause us to recede
from the principles which we laid
down in the reform campaign. Such
course would give just ground for
suspicion ms to our sincerity. If we
felt that our position was just md right
why abandon il because the colored
people refuse to accept it? let the
colored people do as they please. 1t
would be degrading to follow them up
Let our platform be broad enough for
all men to stand upon, regardless of
race, color or previous condition. Let
it be placed OF record SO that North
ern sympathizers, ifthere are any may
see that we are in earnest to redeem
the State, peaceably, five can, and
Southern ngitators may be paralized
in their efforts at misrepresentation.
Abstract party issues should be laid
aside; for they have no more to do with
our present political necessities than
Bismark has to do with the Beecher
scandal. All we want is an honest
government, under which we can al
prosper alike. The Republican party
