About Indictments.

We observe that l.. Oass Carpenter,
q editor Of the Uaios:, and foreman O!
the grand Jury for R;ohland County,
in speech delivered in Newberry, last
Friday. said that "four of the leading
:. .hnlters were under indictment, and
some of them probably would be be-
fore the campaign closed" We should
!be obliged to Mr.. Carpenter if he
~wonld tell US who they are, and how
many leading persons on the side he
advocates, are under charges of felony
and other similar crimes, and if he
will essay to approximate the number
OF how many more ought to be. By
the way, We observe this pitiful result
reported as the labors and researches
of tho Rlohland grand jury, namely,
true bills returned as follows: James
Ovens. VIM. Avery. Henry Bethel,
Hiiliard Ovens, Ell Davis. Polly Gy les,

John B. Harrington, murder; Molly

A Step Forward.

The Republicans of Richland have
split into fractions" and County
politics are very much mixed. Both
Nash aad Minort adhere to Chumber-
lain. La thu: respect they stand on
equal ground. But the willy Mast, has
advanced step further, and added to
his ticket some names from tho Con-
servatiye ranks. It is understood that
these gentlemen, in accepting the
nomination for the repcctive positions,
do not make any political pledges ut
all, but remain FREQ to act as independ-
emily now as before they were go nomi.
nHted. John T. Sloan, Jr., who hus
received the nomination for the Le.
gislature, is popular with all clusscs,
and possesses the full confidence of
the Conservatives. We should be
pleased to sec him in the Legislature.

SOME MoRE EoHoEs OF NoRTuERN
OPINION. The Springfield Republican
looks with favoring eye upon the can-
dldature Of Greene and Dclupy. It
says:
"If it really means unity, fair-deal-
ing aud peace' between the two races,
then its success will obviously be mat
ter for national rejoicing. aud it's de-
feat matter for nationaI regret. For
IN those three words, unity, fuir-tieal-
ing, peace, is found the solution of til.
Southern problem problem that is
begluning To weigh very heavily npuu
all thoughtful minds. Whether Judge
Greene Is elected or defeated, his can
didi,nre Is certain to do good in more
ways than one. 1t canuut we'll fail to
make new aud larger breach III tn.

vlded the two races in South Carolina

colortd voters will fua themselves

anca anti feu'iug growing uii: III IL, VIII

The Now York TribMu. says:
"a close Contest, and perhaps IA
revolution in South CaroIInn rolItlcs
may now be expeotrd. Tho Conseryu-
tive Convention has determined to
make NO nomination. but recon :
mcnds tho support of tho Independent
Republicans. upon u platform confined
to measures Of reform. Tue estimates
of the strength f tho bolt from the
