Hints to Republicans.

Editor A6beuiNe Press ard Banner:
We certainly have reason to con-
gratulate ourselves on tho improved
aspect of the political future of oui
beloved State. The dark cloud ol
ignorance and corruption is beginning
to show q silver lining. The masses
seem now to family realize that some.
thing more than fidelity to party and
the gift of nonsensical "gab" is rcquir
I'd to qualify an aspirant for office
Still, the scales have not all fallen
from the eyes, as evidenced from the
moral and intellectual status Of some
tho prominent aspirants now in the
field. The impudcnt ignorance o1
some people is really astonishing
The idea of a man seeking to become
a Legislator-makcr Of Laws-who
with difficulty can read print, is per
fcctly ridicuIcls. 1t really ought tc
be crimo. The opinion seems pref
ty general, that unless the Republican
party rnakos a vast improvement In
tbs character and qualifications Z"
Its nominees for the various officers
both county and State, in the next
campaign, the result will be exceed
ingly doubtful, and will surely sea
The fate of the party in the elections
of 1876. Hundreds of leading Re
publican statesmen in the North are
closely watching the course Of event:
in South Carolina. The great prin
ciple of universal suffrage is to bt
tested, and the balances are trem
bling. The colored masses OF thl
State are on their trial as voters
There is nc Disgusting or putting
away the solemn truth, however dis
tasteful or incredible it may appear
to many. The rostrum, the press
and even the pulpit is speaking IL
thunder tones throughout the Nortf
and West. These voices cannot b.
safely disregarded. The colored peo
pie must remember shat there are il
the United States about ten whit
men for every colorcd man, and tina
the disparity in numbers is isincreasins
every day by immigration. Just 81
soon as the colored people lose tn
confidence and support Of the North
their doom is fixed. The fate OF rc(
men will be theirs. Then how su
premely ridiculous, and insancly sui
ciJal it is for them to raise the ques
ton of color; to voto for a man sim
ply because he is black. Let th'
watchword Of the next campaign b.
an honest and economical administra
ton of the government in all it's de
partments. This can only be accom-
plishcd by good and competent 9th
cials.

The Corn PANIc.-The Darlington
Southoyner quotes our paragraph, and
makes the following additional state
ment, in confirmation of the same
view
awe clip the above from the Able
Vile Press and Banner Of last week
This statement comes from one of the
most fourishing counties in the State
and it shows conclusively the effects
of the system prevailing in most por'
tions of other counties. While corn
can be had in some Of our stores al
s1.4O for cash, yet we know OF nc
farmer in this county who has it tol
sale, and very few but who are pur
chasers. We know Of corn being
sold at s1.7O, and oven higher on liens
And we know Of a number Of persons
who have lost horses and mules from
working on short allowance. Who
can say under such q state of affairs
that it is better to raise cotton to tho
neglect Of corn?"

PARsON LEE.
To a drowsy country village

To drowsy country village
Came q certain ParsOn Lee;
And q man so quantity different
From all the other men was he
That the !Suuire himself, the skeptic,
Came to church to hear him pray,
And to note the strange things uttere'
BY this marvel of the day.
The excentric said this planet
Was true and goodly place,
And the only thing it wanted
Was the more Of heavens grace;
land he sought to show the people
How to think and work and live,
So that each should help the other
And unto the needy give;
How the door that leads to heaven
Was most amply broad and wide,
And how each could turn the handle
And 60 easily inside;
That the very gentlest natures
In the world may yet be strong;
And how truth is always wisdom,
And all wickedness is wrong.
He explained how true religion
Was day-working, nothing more;
That this world was not an ocean,
Nor we pebbles on the shore;
But that thinking men and women
Should find better things to do
Than in twisting Gods commandment:
Or quite breaking them i'll two.
GAS for acting like our neighbors,
Why, we none of us are fools
You cannot be made Christian
Under everybody's rules,
If your neighbor's not as good as
He or you would have him be,
Just you 60 ahead and beat him."
Said this candid Parson Lee.
Next, he told them how complaining
Was noXious choking weed;
That the flowers scarcely blossomed
Ere they changed to hoinely seed /;
How that seed again sprang upward
And bore many fiow'rets more;
And that life was ever fading
And renewing DER and o'er
So, this man, by honest talking,
Worked his wonders in the town;
But he never cared for praises,
And he laughed at high renown.
Yet the people loved him dearly,
And they blessed God for the sight,
Till at last the master left them,
On cold, dark winters night.
Thus he went, they knew not whittier
Have you ever met him, pray?
You would know him by his smiling,
And the sunshine on his way.
l., l<5o
Over land and over sea,
But no traces can discover
Of Our missing Parson Lee.

bad BLOOD !!

"a corrupt tree,n saith the Inspired

nor can corrupt blood impart health,
beauty and good flesh, or spirits. 1.-THE

be enjoyed in its full perfection where
the blood is kept in pure and uncor'

The following sketch OF Rev. VIM.
S. Plumer, D. D., LII. d., is taken
from the Columbus Inder:
Upon the right of the platform, in

be seen regularly and steadily the
majestic form of this father in Israel.
With his hoary head, acroWn Of glo.s

som, unmarried by single thread,
with majestic voice supported by im-
pressive mien-all backed by his rep
utation in the church, Of longest
standing, for pulpit and platform, clio.
quence and goodness and Theological.
learning-he is the marked man OF
the Assembly. DR.. Plumer isseyen-
ty-one years old, yet in bodily yigor
and in the fullness OF his intellectual
strength. He is the leading Profess!
or in the Theological Seminary at
Columbia; is a theological author Of
distinction; was Moderator of the.
Huntsville Assembly, and is the only
man, living or dead, who has had the;
honor of presiding over the Assem-.
blies of our church and Of the old
undivided church. He has been Pro.
fessor, besides at Columbia, in Alle-
ghany Seminary; has been pastor,
during his long life, in the cities OF
Petersburg, Richmond and Baltim9ra.
While in the former city, he founden
the Central Presbyterian. which Iyes,
to bless him to this day; it was tifst
called the JHachman Of the South.
The special characteristic Of his elo-
quence is earnestness and solemnity.
lie speaks like Elijah upon Carmel j
and, as he lifts himself up before the
gathered people, and in the name Of
thc Lord, and with his own awful
emphasis, says: "How long will ye
halt between two opinions? It the
Lord be God, follow Him; but II
Baal, then follow him." it is not hard
to believe the days of the prophets
arc restored. Without disparagement
10 any, DR.. Plumer may be pronounced
the most notable and distinguished
member of tho Assembly.

A Cornwall farmer told Us that his
cattle were so gentle and kind that
they followed him all over the farm,
and in passing a haystack they would
often call him, upon which he obli-
gingly gave each one q lock Of hay.
The traits referred to are not uncom-
mon among domesticated animals.
Wo were visiting family last week in
the vicinity of Goshen. and, having
occasion to cross field whcre malc
cow was grazing, when he followed
us to the gate with an eager express
sion, and, lifting the gate off its him
ges, he took after us at full speed.
No doubt he would have called when
We passed haystaclz, bit the folks
were waiting dinner for US and we
couldn't stop. So VIC left our coat

Johns family had often visited al

visit had most cordially pressed US to
return the compliment.

suddenly to the city of B, where
our relatives resided, and without
having time to write or apprise them
of my coming, I was intending a visit
to the family of Mr.. John Smith.
