France and the Centennial.

Among the European nations there
is not single government that looks
with friendly eye on this Republic
with the sole exception of one
France. True. the oppressed Of all
countries-the English, German, Ital.
ian, and all "tl'ers-love America,
the home Of freedom, but the gov.
ern,neDts Of these counties, those
known as the ruling classes, look on
this republic with i'll concealed hos.
tility. 1t conlll not we'll be otherwise,
for this nation is a living protest
against the dcspotic systems which
these rulers uphold and defend. They
all respect America, for they dare not
,lespisc her, but France alone loves
her. France is the only nation whose
people will I've represented ut the Cen.
tennial. The governments of the 9th.
er countries will be alone represented.
While other nations were discussing
in packed councils the projects Of ex-
pending little money in connection
with the Centennial, as an industrial
exhibition. the people If republican
and freedom-loving France were
pouring in their subscriptions for the
erection ola statue to Liberty in New
York bay. Aud this commentlablc
action Of the French people received
the countenance If tho government,
President MacMahon himself coutri-
butlng to the fund.
And now q movement has been set
on foot in France, under the auspices
Of two IF the most distinguished Of
living Frenclmen, Victor Hugo and
Louis Blanc, to represent the work
ing classes Of the nation, by sending
to Philadelphia a deputation Of 1000
French workmen. They will bo no
strangers when they come hitller to
celebrate the Centennial of American
Independence. Their fathers fought
for our liberty at the Brandy wine and
Germantown, in the dark days Of the
Revolution. They sent to our aid
their fleet, and arms, and ten millions
Of money; and when the English
Corn wallis marched with his empty
scabbard out Of Yorktown, he passed
between the lines Of Washington and
Lafayette. France is the friend If
liberty and the foe to tyranny all the
world over and it ia but natural that
she should greet enthusiastically, in
this hundredth year Of its Indepen-
dence, the American Republic, whose
principles Of freedom she has herself
adopted, and which, as Wendell
phillips truly says, will, before an
other generation has passed away,
make her once more the ruler of Hu-
ropc.-Irish World.

How DRINKING CURES APoPLEXY.-
1t is the essential nature of all wines and
spirits to send an increased amount of
blood to the brain. The first effect of
taking a glass of wine or stronger form
of alcohol is to send the blood there faster
than common; hence, the circulation
that gives the red face. 1t increases the
activity of the brain, and it works faster,
and so does the tongue. But as the blood
goes to the brain faster than common, it
returns faster, and no special harm re-
suits. But suppose a man keeps on
drinking, the blood is sent to the brain
so fast in such quantities that, in order to
make room for it, the arteries have to en-
large themselves; they increase in size,
and, in doing 50, they press against the
more yielding, Aaccid veins which carry
the blood out of the brain, and thus di-
minish their size, their pores, the result
being that blood is not only carried to
the arteries of the brain faster than is
natural or healthful, but is prevented
from leaving it as fast as usual; hence, a
double set Of causes of death are set in
motion. Hence, a man may drink
enough of brandy or other spirits in a
few hours, or even minutes, to bring on a
fatal attack of apoplexy. This is literal
ly being dead drunk.-Dr. Hall.

Intimidation Of Negro Democrats.

MIR. Redheld, the correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Commercial, has been travel
ing through South Carolina. His atten-
tion seems to have been particularly at
tracted by the conduct of the colored
people towards those of their own race
who have espoused the Democratic cause.
He gives as Il result of his observation,
that the negr who dares to take such a
course, becor Us to all intents and pur-
poses an OUT EST; that the black Demo-
crat is regart., d as traitor; that he is
ostracised, denied the consultations of re-
ligion by expulsion from churches, and
prosecuted and assailed upon all occa-
sions.
This plain, unvarnished statement,
from the correspondent of a Republican
paper, is proof, strong as holy writ, that
negroes in the South are not intimidated
by the whites. Men who are cowed and
intimidated never dare to manifest their
hostility to their opponents so plainly
and aggressively. The negro is not SO
sternly Independent, or formed of such
heroic stuff, that he would insult and re-
vile bis enemy were his own life or prop
erty endangered by his so doing.
It cannot be denied that the negroes
in the South have been entirely under
the tuition of Republicans since the war.
Every idea of politics which they have is
drawn from the teachings of Republicans:
The negro is not naturally fanatical
or intolerant on the contrary, he is good
natured and docilc, pursuing his own
course, and not disposed to interfere in
the affairs of his neighbor. But the ne
gro is a child, with the strength and ca
pacity for mischief of man and under
the teachings of Republican politicians,
he has become violent and dangerous
fanatic lacking the intellect to see where
uurestrained fanaticism will lead him.
His nature has been changed how much
for the worse, we all know.
Whatever persecution and ostracism
may be visited upon the white Republic
can politician in the South, is but a nat
ural sequence of all this. The whites
see that the negro mas been transformed
from faithful, affectionate and tractable
servant and friend, into violent and

entirely to the white Republicans alone
for instruction the inference is plain
that he has got his new rules of conduct
from that instruction.
The white Democrat sees his person
endangered and his property destroyed
through the teachings ofthese Republic
cans; yet nowhere is the Republican
denied the privilege of worshipping the
Almighty in his sanctuary nowhere is
he assailed with brutal insults; and the
most bitter of them can walk fearlessly,
by day or night, without fear of a howl.
ing mob at his heels. Let the riots and
assaults upon colored Democrats, which
are of daily occurrence in the South, and
the experience of Mr.. Red6eld, speak for
the tolerance and good feeling inculcated
by the apostles Of the party of moral
ideas. 49,. ,.....r,
The conduct and teachings of the two
parties in the South are exhibited in
contrast before the country. We are
content To abide the decision of all nom
partisans for the vindication of the white
Southerners.-Journal Of Commerce.

WILL THEY WIN3

The whites are so united and determ-
ined, and have so many "ri1e teams"
that they would certainly win were it not
for the large Federal force in the State,
we'll scattered, and with positive orders
to see that the blacks have all the rights
guaranteed to them by the Democratic
platforms and Scott Lord resolutions.
As it is, they may win anyway. One
day I think they will, and the next day
think they will not, and am all the time
of the opinion that the chances are pretty
evenly balanced. As to the Federal
troops "intimidating" the whites, the
very idea is so positively ridiculous that
I can not write about it with patience.
The stuff which appears in Northern
Democratic papers about the army being
used to intimidate the whites, and pre-
vent a fair election, is idiotic. Every
Federal soldier and every musket and
every cannon in the service might all be
moved into South Carolina, and it would
not keep one white man from voting, not
one. Everybody here understands this
perfectly we'll. What the South Carolina
editors have to say about it is for effect
up North, and not because they fear that
all the troops in creation will keep sim
gle white man from voting. 1t is per-
fectly clear to me, and think to any
man who comes into the State and ac-
quaints himself with the condition of
things, that, without the presence of
troops, the whites would overbear and
override the blacks to such an extent that
no fair election could be held. There
might not be bloodshed, but simply a
sort of terrorism established that would
frighten the blacks from voting the
straight ticket, as nine hundred and nine

General Wade Hampton.

/ The campaign of 1876 has, since its
opening, been one of great results. 1t
will be remembered many years to come
not only for the historical event which
will mark its close, but for the episodes
which illustrates its progress.
General Hampton, who has been, so
far, eminently successful in steering the
ship of reform through the troubled and
muddy waters of the present campaign,
is, by his nomination for governor of
South Carolina, the most prominent man
in the ranks of our Southern reformers.
This admirable man, regarded i'm his;
entirety, estimated as q warrior; states
man and patriot standing in q glorious
roll of great Americans, deserves the
mighty acclaim with which politicians,
press and people have greeted his pas
sage from private into public life. 1t has
been the privilege of his happy nature
to cultivate personal friendshipwith'all
classes of his countrymen, the colored
people not excepted, so that his State has
warmed towards him, as he is going to
reach the eliminating honor of his life,
the honor to become the redeemer of his
native State. This personal sympathy is
as rare between statesman and q nation
as it is delightful. q ~. 3's..i..''
We consider General Hampton to bea
mastery speaker; we call him, though
we are blessed with many an excellent
orator, the best and most powerfulspeak-
er of the campaign. His speeches are
void of pretty gossamer phrases which
might give them certain but useless
brilliancy but they abound in honest,
entreating language, which, coming from
the heart, takes hearts by storm. His
fine temper, natural dignity of Thought
and bearing, and his consummate tact in
the adjustment Of violent contentious,
exert themselves with brilliant effect in
the present campaign. He is never
weary, is never caught mapping by his
foes; and if the people ofSouth Carolina,
seeing him thus brave, become more
trusting and more hopeful every day, who
will blame them for it? As the spring
of the campaign:is Frightening into sum-
mer, and the work Of reform becomes
rougher and more hard, we see him dou-
BILE his energies, and see the eye of every
true South Carolinian follow admiringly
his victorious course. fgi;f
His remedy for the wrongs of his ma
tive State was heroic. He would leave q
peaceful home, which gave him every
thing that can mako man happy, to ex-
change it, led by. the truest patriotism,
with the perilous road of a political cam
paign.
Whatever the results of his patriotic
endeavors may be-his State win be
proud of him and will guard his memory
as beautiful and sacred trust.-Jour7,al

While valors naughty champions wait
Till all their scars are shown,
Love walks unchallenged through the gate

AUGUSTA, September 19.
This morning almost as many rumors
as were circulated yesterday were flying
about the city in reference to the troubles
near Ellenton. A different report could
be obtained at every street corner. AT
about IL o'clock telegram was received
from q young man from this city, who
was at the scene of the disturbance, to
his employer, stating that fight had
occurred the night previous, and that Two
white men had been killed. A little later
another telegram was received from an
other party announcing that Mr.. John
Williams had been killed and Mr.. Sam
uel Dunbar wounded the previous day.
During the morning several rifle clubs,
mounted, from Edgeield County crossed
the bridge and rode down Broad street
towards Sand Bar Ferry, which they in
tended to cross on their way to Rouse's
Bridge. Among these were Capt: Bussy's
company, twenty-five men, and Capt.
Boilers company, twenty men. Upon
the arrival of the Aiken accommodation
train we learned that the two companies
of Federal troops at,Aiken had received
orders, on Monday night, to proceed at
once to the scene of action, and at 10
o'clock in the evening they took UP their
line of march across the country tor
Rouse's Bridge. Three men from each
company were left at Aiken in charge of
the camp. The distance from Aiken to
the bridge is about ffteea miles: At 8
o'clock the passenger train OF the Port
Royal Railroad left the city and proceed
ed to Ellenton, were it met the up train
which reached: that point the day, preyi,,
