IT Is UNFORTUNATE for the Demo-
cratic party that it cannot control the
ruf1ians which belong to it long
enough to get into power. Just
when it needs public confidence it
loses it. Just when the people are
beginning to feel that the party has
reformed and means well, and that
the Devil has been cast out of it, the
cloven-foot shows itself, and the
old-time rascality crops out in full
bloom. Democracy has a horrible
load to stagger under; and, TO add
to its burden by increasing its
power, would be little short of cru
city. When it succeeds in civilizing
Georgia and Texas it may turn its
attention to the nation. If the rifle
and knife prove effective civilizing
agencies in those States, it may pay
to introduce these novel instruments
of political reform q little further
North. But we fear the experiment
will fail. Conversion through fear
is not very lasting, and the power
thus gained is only for a day. De-
mocracy should issue proclamation
to the faithful, urging them to APP
pear honest and law-abiding citizens
until the party is .enthroned at the
national capital. 1t will be HARD
| work for the faithful to affect the
disguise, but it may pay if kept vi
for score Of years.

PooR DOG TRAY.-The Cha mberlain
organ was in self-accusing mood,
yesterday, in saying "they have our
past and reckless mis-government, ex.
travagance and corruption for mex
haustible themes of vituperation and
abuse. We have been weighed in the
balance by the great Republican party
and found wanting; and such king
dom is numbered and finished. We
must reform, not only in words but in
deeds, or lose the control of the State. {"
That sounds pretty well, "such king.
dom numbered and finished" But
how is it that thus played out, as you
say, you dare ask not to be forgiven
upon repen .ance, not to be allowed to
go upon promise to Elm no more, but
for the chief places in til. kingdom Ii q
our correspondent, OF yesterday, said
to be ''lauded and rewarded" It is
not true repentance to crave the op-
portunities OF SHINING again, in the
very act of q pretended humiliating
confession. Don't try to trade in your
penitenoe.

The Nominating Convention,

The State Radicul Nominating Con-
uention met yesterday, at IL NJ, in
the hall of the House of Representa-
tives. It was called to order by r. B.
Elliott, Chairman of the Convention of
1872 Two candidates we're put in
nomination for temporary Chairman
r. B.. Elliott and @. NJ. Wilder. The
latter WAS elected by a vote Of SO in his
favor to 68 for Elliot and for Rainey.
Wilder's address, upon taking the
chair. was brief. in which, however,
the pregnant sentence, that "the day
has come when rings will no longer
rule over South Carolina" made an
incredulous ripple Of smile to pnss
over the faces Of the numerous ring
leaders and their adherents. There
are five Counties with contesting dele
cations. These were referred for con.
sideration 10 q committee of one from
each County represented in the Con-
vention. A great deal of time was
consumed in senseless aud unnecessary
motions and points Of order. The
fussy fellows appeared. as was to be
expected, in full force. The failure to
elect Elliott is reg lrded as significant
OF lack Of strength in Chamberlain,
whom he supports. That may or may
not be. The election of Wilder, in all
probability. points to third candidate
yet to be brought out. The Indications
are yet not decided. They will more
distinctly appear in the election for
permanent Chairman. Our hopes are
not encouraging that any man can re-
ceive the nomination who will desire
it, or be- u fit man to conduct reform
in the State Administration. Iu spite
Of Wilder's declaration, it appears to
us that very little more than ring ma
terial is to be fonnd in the body. But
We hope we are mistaken.

nest truth, we have only poor aud
evasive apologies for all the horrid
oofFupyions that makefthe State eink.
We have the plaim Iset up that tlobody
is toSblame ior ali the outragss and
.evilsthet have been co hmitted. Mil
.lionS upon millions have been added
to the public debt, and yet nobody ia
blamed. The sense OF responsibility
is lost, I he barriers to Legislative aud
official robbery OF the State and peo-
pie are broken down. Aud here is the
robber band again summoning their
followers to the carnival OF plumber,
apportioning the parts each is to play
IN the coming raid. and dividing out
the Offices and emoluments each is to
receive. The Blue Ridge Scrip. the
Conversion Bonds, and an Iliad of
fresh woes to the struggling people are
now to be let loose upon them. Truly.
when We contrast what might have
been with few bold. manly aud ho-
nest spirits to take the initiative, with
what ss and is to bo in the policy aud
personnel Of this Radical party, we
wonder at the patience of the people.
and are amazed at the mysteries of
that Providence which permits it
longer to cumber the ground.

Purvis VI. Patterson.

At political meeting few days
since in Newberry, as We learn from q
correspondent. and as We also soc in
the New York Herald correspondence,
Pnrvis said that, though South Caro-
lima was on the verge Of an exciting
election. "she was more peaceabIe to-
day than she has been at any time
since 1861" That is tho opinion of
the Adjutant aud Inspector General of
the State, and is certainly q good off,
set to Patterson's declaration that we
have daily murders and murderons
outbreaks in South Carolina.

means by that is, the way that elections
have been managed in this County for

wit: 10 vote often. early aud late.
Have your own supervisors of cleo

ing on until she came to one Of more
promising appearance, she once more
entered, and quietly asking for the
principal, inquired of that rather snowy
parsonage if there was need Of an APP
prentice in her business.
"No. An apprentice is not wanted,
but good trimmer is"
"Can l not learn ?" asked Judith,
thinking it could not be much of an art
to place ribbons and flowers on hat.
80, yes" replied the finished milliner,
raising her eyebrows; "but it is some
body already taught that We require"
So Judith gave that up. Next she
tried a large trimming store, in which
the day previous she had purchased a
piece of lace for collar. The woman
in attendance recognized her, and know
ing the value of such personal appear
ance behind her counters; was evidently
inclined to make terms.
"Are you quick at figures ?" she in
quired; and poor, confused Judith was
forced blushingly to admit that she was
not; whereupon the trimming merchant
regarded her with some astonishment.
81 had forgotten that must be quick
at figures,r said Judith, and departed
with a face crimsoned by shame at her
ignorance.
Still not willing to return to Mrs. Bra
zee's without another effort, she walked
on, taking note of what she saw against
a future day. Going into sewing
machine store, she asked on what terms
they would employ anyone in this busi-
ness, and was told that they gave moth
ing to those requiring instructions; but
that to competent persons who could
teach the use of machines to pur-
chasers, and do fine work, they gave
four hundred dollars year. Though
unable to reduce this sum into fifty-two
parts, Judith had some ilea of its inad-
equacy to purchase many such dresses
as the one she had sent home the day
before, and thanking the polite attend
ant, again sailed into the street.

Work on the Sulphur Mines

Ii was our pleasure, las Friday, II.
twenty sixth instant, TO travel from New
Orleans TO New iberia in company with Mr.
De!Iam, of Kentucky, the new contractor,
who has come 70 sink n shaft 80 feet in
depth TO the sulphur deposit Of the Calca-
sieu mines.
A few days before Mr.. DeHam was pre-
coded hy about sixty miners and laborers,
most of whom have tor years been engaged
with him in similar work on mines OF
various descriptions in Virginia and else
where Their tools, baggage. etc. were
taken from New Iberia 10 Ca!easieu i'll
wagons, while these hardy sons of toll,
most OF whom are white, made the Journey
on foot. The few women who accompanied
them went with the wagons; but only a few
were married or have their wives along.
Mr. DeHam himself passed through Yer
mlionville on the stage on Saturday. the
twenty-seventh, and no doubt began work
vigorously on Monday or Tuesday last.
As many have expressed doubts OF the
successful sinking OF shaft to tie depth ot
400 or 500 feet into the bowels ~ The earth,
we will mention that Mr.. Dellam considers
that q comparatively small undertaking.
when compared with the work on some
nines where he has been engaged. which
were sunk 10 far greater depths, Ia locaiI-
ties where Tie natural formation OF the
earth made the undertaking much more
difficult and hazardous. Not unirequently
are shafts sunk TO depths OF 1909. l-0o or
800 feet, and in one Of the Western gold
minese shaft 1890 feet deep has beeB sunk,
rom which rich quartz is being aunua llv
aken in large quantities.-LouiSsGHG Co. |
