United States Senator Robertson
thinks there is no help for South Caro-.
lima, unless che can help herself, and
he is disposed to lead in desperate
effort to that end.
We clip the above from q Radical
sheet OF this State, with some slight-
ing remarks, which we omit. It is
very singular, and not little incon-
sistent, that with all the talk about re.
form within party lines, and the copi-
ous promises that it shall certainly
come, We never see the name of any
one mentioned which can be accepted
as guarantee that any is meant. One
would suppose that reform could best
be carried out by men least mixed up
with rings and jobs and the bad odor
OF crime and fraud. There are men
in the Republican party who are we'll
thought of and we'll spoken of. But
those who control the public Radical
sentiment never as much as allude to
them. Judge Maher's name has been
mentioned for Governor, but family
as compared with the cries for Moses.
Chamberlain, Scott, &c. He, and
such as he, are kept studiously in the
background.
We do not know what amount Of
truth there may he in the statement
which we place at the head OF this ar.
ticle. If Senator Robertson is dis.
posed to take the course therein indi-
Gated, the better elements of his party
ought at once to rally TO him. Tho
Republican party in this State sadly
needs man who will sink the partisan
in the patriot. So far, there has not

The last year or two of this notorious

days we're racked with fever, filled
with horrid imaginings Of his victims

PLAIN WORDS FOR TIE PEOPLE,
When broken down in health, strength

should ask'a medical uan whether an

question to be- decided is, what the in
vigorant shall be. A standard tonic
and restorative, which has been many
yenrs before the public. and in which
millions Of the intelligent classes 70.
pose the fullest faith. seems, in case
like this, to present the strongest
claims to the confidence Of the pru-
dent invalid. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters may be truly said to possess
these high recommendations. Its tri.
umphant progress during a period OF
over twenty years. its present popu.
larity, and the uniform SUCCESS which
attends its use in indigestion, nerv-
GUS debility, hillary complaints, fever
aud agne, and all ailments which de-
press the physical system and enervate
the mind. cntitle it to the rank of u
standard national specific. It is re-.
earded in that light by the community
at large, uud hundreds of thousands Of
both sexes resort tn it at this season

Reform by Exclusion or Those Who
Have Betrayed Trust.
The Greenville Mountaineer and En-.
terprise proposes plan by which il
thinks the State may be effectually re-.
formed. The object to be accom-.
plished mainly is to sweep the State
Government of thieves and bring them
to speedy punishment. The agents
who are expected to do it are the peo.
pie. white and black, irrespective OF
party. who have held no Office, County,
State OF Federal, aince the war, and
the fundamentally is to be precinct
or neighborhood mass meetings. to be
afterwards represented in a County
convention, and the County conven-
tions to elect delegates to State con-
vention. The meetings are to be held
after thirty days public notice, the
whites and blacks each holding their
own. From each GLASS are to be ap-
pointed executive committees of five
or seven men, known to be honest and
not to have held Office. These will
together constitute o County conven-
ton, each committee or delegation
representing the population, white and
black, that sent them. The County
conventions thus organized, to pro-
ceed on the same basis to elect dele.
gates to a State convention, in number
corresponding to the members of the
Legislature from the County. This
body of men, white and black, reput-
ed to be honest, and not having held
sag caace, :si!l proceed, after organiza-
; tion, by two-thirds vote of all pre-
sent. to elect candidates for the seve.
RAJ State officers. The name of no
one is; TO iDe considered or voted for
who haa held any office Of emolument
by salasy, fees or perquisites, County,
State or Federal, since the war. The
next step is to bring to punishment
the men who have robbed and dis
honored the State by such steps as
may be legal, proper aud practicable.
The delegations, after returning from
the State convention, to have called
meeting to nominate a County ticket
for the Legislature. and to take such
action in reference to the County cleo
tions as honesty and fair dealing de.
mand.
We have given the scheme of our
contemporary, and recommend it to
the consideration Of the people. No
comments occnr to as at present, fur
ther than to say the objects are. of
course, commendable. Whether it ia
altogether practicable, when We oonsi-
der the constituents, condition and
bias Of the voting population, may
admit Of doubt. It will take intelli.
gence, earnestness, will and energy to
carry out. These, We hope, may be
found enlisted in it, and, should they
be, we cannot doubt good result.
Office.holders and those who depend
upon them will not regard it with fa
vor. Corruptionists will consider il
an unweloome innovation. But if the
people want reform really, il they
would have responsibility and capacity
introduced into the government to re-
place the trained soamps, who live by
plunder. who have brains only fol
plotting pillage and hands ready te
seize everything that comes in the
way, by this plan or some other, they
should begin to work soon, and sue
cess cannot be doubtful.
