THE DEAD DElfooRAcY.

The boastful exp preston Of; Republi-
can orators that the Democratic party
! is dead has become so 4anailiar the.
doubtless nanny began to- believe ii
to be true.
There never was grander delusion.
Democracy, which means the peoples
government, embodies the idea and
true principles of freedom more fully
,thon any other term or party name.
The Democratic party was the ruling
party ofshe country until its unfortu.
nate division into the Douglass and
Breckinridge wings.
The war then came on and the Doug
lass wing naturally went with the
opposition, and has continued in
this position in consequence of the
i'll feelings engendered by the war.
Time is gradually wearing away these
animosities and the two wings are
again coming together, SO that soon
Democracy will resume its position in
the politics of the country.
Besides Republican corruption the
disposition to make color basis of
political action, and ofmaking Repub
licanism and negroism synonymous
terms. has contributed largely to this
change Of popular sentiment. 1t is a
dangerous and destructive policy.
The temporary suspension. ofthe
Democratic party. has been a blessing
to it, for it will cause the looping off Of
many Objectionable features and enable
it to come forth untrammeled as the
herald Of freedom and good govern
ment, which is itslegitimate mission.

LEGISLATIVE.

The Committee to whom was refer
red the matter of printing for the Gen
eral Assembly awarded the same to
the Republican Printing Company at
$4,000 per annum, being 100000 for
the two years.
On Friday considerable discussion
took place on the bill regulating the
pay of members of the Assembly. The
bill provided salary of $40O, and ten
cents mileage. Amendments were offer
ed to make it $500 and 5000. After
great deal of time was consumed, the
bill was referred'to the Committee of
ways and means.
The following bills have been re-
ported upon favorably by the Commit
tees to whom they were referred and
will then be discussed by the Assembly:
The bill to make the office of County
Treasurer elective and fixing his COM
pensation at 5 per cent on the first
$4,000, 2per cent on the next 80 600,
l per cent on the balance collected.
The bill to,require registration of
voters before elections, and to prevent
fraudulent voting. 1t is thought this
bill stands bad chance ofpassing.
The bill fixing the salaries of Audi
tors, in which the Auditor of Orange
burg is to receive $1,000, and his clerk
$500.

OUR CIRCUIT JUDGEshIP.

AS we predicted in ourlast, y. P. Reed
has been elected Judge ofthis circuit.
Just before the Gubernatorial election
he advocated the claim of Chamber
lain to the Office of Governor, and
now just before the judicial election
Chamberlain in turn advocates his
claims to the Office of Judge: Reed
said in his letter of explanation that a
very short time would prove the wis
dom Of his course, and there isno doubt
that Chamberlain has taken the .wisest
course for the good Of his party. Just
such inaugurals and such steps are
necessary for the salvation of the Re
publican party and Chamberlain is
sensible enough to see it, and act upon
it, despite the modification of old Re-
publicans at seeing this Democrat,just
said to be transformed into Republi
canism, preferred to them.
Reed is kr own in Washington as the
Democrat who beat his Republican
opponent for Congress in 1868, and his
election will therefore be regarded as
animprovement in South Carolina, ,and
exert a favorable influence for the ma
tional Republican party. This IS q
wise policy in Chamberlain's admins
tration.
Reed is said to have been converted
into Republicanism, bu5 however this
may be, the Democrats in the Legisla
ture voted for him, and we give them
credit for knowing what they were
about.
1t is true one of the papers near his
homo said that "his influence is least
in the section where he is bestkLown,"
but We hope that this stroke of policy
on the part of the administration, may
not be without some good to the people
ct large, for the Democrats who sup
ported him must aassuredly have acted
for the. best.

LOUISIANA AFFAIRS.

Governor Kellog and his allies are
endeavoring to secure from Congress q
recognition of their government, and,
ifthey succeed, there is no doubt that
something more than mere recogni-
ton will be necessary to keep things
pleasant.
A Conservative legislature will soon
assemble, and inasmuch as the Radi-
cal government has made it SO that a
mere legislative majority can impeach
the Governor, it should not excite sur
prise if they take. advantage of this
circumstance to place in power the
lawfully elected Governor, McEnery.
Hence the anxiety of the Kellogitcs
to cause immediate action on the part
of Congress.
What the policy cfCongress will be
is very doubtful, when we consider on
the one side the natural disposition to
take care of their friends, but on the
other side the necessity of legislating
for the good ofthe Republican party
i'll the campaign of 1876. Such con-
siderations may dictate a course of
caution as in South Carolina, and thus
even Louisiana rOay bc relieved of her
oHpressors.
