Dr. Hepworth says that there Ia no real foun-

The Color Line.

The sagacious correspondent of the
Cincinnatti Commercial, whose lettor
on South Carolina affairs we publish
to day, says the Charleston News and
Courier, takos it for granted that tho
whites in this State will organize on
"the color line," and on that line cars
ry the noxt election.
The color line is drawn in South
Carolina; but it is drawn by tho cor
rupt Radical loadors, and tho limo is
the black limo and not tho white line.
Elliott, Leslie, Wh'ppor, Nash, Swais
and others determined, somo time ago,
to consolidate the colorcd vote as the
sole means of retaining and augment
ing thor power. Whon tho Judicial
election came on thoy advocate the
election of Whippor on the puro and
simple ground that he is black man.
AS such they demanded his election;
as such he was elected. And his olec-
ton was the expression of tho dcters
mination to 9 draw tho black line
against the whites, as tho surost way
of preventing any further co~opera-
ton of white Conservatives with
black Republicans.
Tho whites have not drawn tho
color line; nor do they intend to draw
it. They will organize tb oroughly as
whites; thoy will havo their candidates
as their State Convention shall deter.
mine. But thoy will havo platform
that should command tho confidence
of tho colorcd people, and candidates
whom the colorcd people as we'll as
tho white pooplo can trust. They
will invite the colorcd people to aid
them, and work with them, in socu-
ring just, capable and trustworthy
government. And we believe that
thousands of the colorod pooplo will
be found in n limo parallel to that of
the whito Democrats, marching not as
Democrats but as honest Republicans,
towards the goal of Reform.
Thoro will be no fight on tho color
limo in South Carolina, if the whites
can avort 1T. AS we said in tho be-
ginning, the black limo is drawn
against the whites, but that black line
is brokon, and, in the noxt canvass,
wo expect to havo strong force of
colorcd auxilaries.

How HENRY CLAY WAS SOLD.
Some time before the introduction of

Secretary Of State under President

riage. While passing through the
State Of Pennsylvania, Mr.. Clay told
Gov. Metcalt that he had received
intimations that in certain town
they were approaching he would be
honorcd with an ovation by the citi-
zene. Just before coming to the
town Governor Metcalf, who had all
along been driving, suggested to Mr..
Clay that he take tho lines and drive,

people. Gov. Metcat alighted from
the carriage, and being asked wheth,
ey he was Mr. Clay, answered yes,
that lie was glad to meet them, ETC.,
and at this the crowd fairly hoisted
him upon their shoulders and trium-
phantly started with him to the place
of reception. Looking back at Mr..
Clay, who still sat in the carriage

cried: "Drivor, take those horses 10

New York, January 4.-Super~
vising Steamboat Inspector, Addison
Low, of this district, has sent his re.
port on the burning of tie City
Waco, off Galveston, on the night of
November 8, last, by which 48 lives
were lost, to Washington. After re-
viewing the testimony he says that
the conclusion of the local board Of
Galveston, to the effect that the fire
originated in the ships cargo from
material that would ignite by friction
or spontaneous combustion, and that
coming in contact with somc sub d.
stance it caused explosion, killing or
stunning the passengers so, that if
any escaped, thero was no chance of
saving their lives in such q sea as
was then running, was justified in
some respects by the testimony. He
says that the burning of the foremast
under the deck and the length of time
it would tako to burn is conclusive
evidence that the fire originated
under the deck and burned for some
time before being discovered. lie
thinks it would have been good iudg
mcnt on the part OF the Captain to
have kept the ship under way, stand
ing off and on till ho could have
Gre ssed the bar in safety, inasmuch
as immunity from accident during q
long voyage causes the ships crew
to become careless unless kept cou-
stantly on the alert, and the setting
of the night.watch under these cir
cumstances is dangerous to the safety
of passengers. He concludes that
Messrs. Mallory & Co., agents of the
line, are liable to the penalties of the
law tor carrying petroleum., and cali
ed the attention of the department
to the unsatisfactory and indefinite
provisions of the law in relation to
the transportation of that article.

Arrest of Distillers,

a sensible man "up a tree" even
II he should be O faithful lover and
drinker of whiskey, says tho Green
vile News, looks down upon the il
licit distiller with no sympathy, but
with little bit of contempt, that the
disliller should subject himself to ar
rest, and his family to the disgrace
which follows the imprisonment of its
head as common fclon.
We don't mean to write moral
lecture on whiskey drinking or whis.
key distilling, but we simply say that
the man who persists in illicit distil ,
ling, when he finds tho Government
is determined to break it up, is play
ing game where the chances are
five to one against him, and where,
if lie wins, he loses, in any event.
On Saturday night last United
States mounted force brought in three
prisoners, having captured thirteen
distilleries, five stills, caps and
worms, and fifteen thousand gallons
mash and beer, and a quantity of
singlings and whiskey. Now look at
this thing Gs you may, besides the
punishment of the prisoners and the
Disgrace of the families, it is an alb
Solute loss to the country of thous-
ands Of dollars.
We have no desire in this place,
either to oppose whiskey distilling
on moral grounds, or to consider the
question of the profit, and loss of
Illicit distilling; but we say here,
now, that whiskey frauds have, in
tho Northwest, and all over the
country, drawn down upon the whole
business of illicit traffic in whiskey,
the power of the Government to
suppress it, and the determination of
the people at large to sustain the
Government in the effort.
We are willing to admit that the
enormous tax on whiskey is the cause
of all the trouble, just as a high pro-
tective tariff invariably creates The
smnggler. The temptation is too
strong for poor human nature to res
sist.
We don't condemn man for
what thousands have done before
him, and thousands will do after him,
but We warn our people Of the noun
tains that tile United States Govern
ment means to put down Illicit dis
tilIing, and the man who runs against
the Government now, is a fool. He
will find no mercy in the courts.
