The News and Courier.

We call attention to the prospectus Of the
Charleston News and Courier, which appears
in this issue. The News and Courier is the
foremost paper in the State, and perhaps in
the South.
While VIC do not agree with it upon State
policy, VIC conccdc to it honest and patriotic
motives. and believe it "wll accept, in good
f"ith, the dccioion of the State Convention,
upon the question whether n 'straight-ouC
ticket shall be nominated" and if such should
be the case, it will certainly be found in the
front rank, striking right and left for the
cause of Democracy and honest government.
Those who desire the greatest amount and
variety of news can not do better than sub.
scribe for the News and Courier.

The Judicial Convention.

The Keowee Courier suggests that inc Ju-
dicial Convention to nominate candidate for
Solicitor Of this Circuit, be held at Seneca
City. The Abbcville Medium suggested Bel.
ton, to which we said in our last issue we
had no objection but upon reflection we agree
with the Courier, as Seneca City is evidently
the most convenient for majority of the
counties composing the Circuit If the dele
gates to the State Convention do not nominate
/" candidate for Solicitor, We trust the con
vontion will be held at Seneca City.

The Hamburg Affair,

The Northern newspapers are full of edi-
torials on the Hamburg affair, denouncing
Il in the severest terms, and many of them
are manufacturing material out Of it for the
enlargement Of the bloody shirt. Governor
Chamberlain has been to Washington to get
troops, but the Attorney General and Score
tary of War informed him that all the civil
remedies must first be exhausted. The Rad
icals in Congress are on the rampage about
1t, and the Republican party evidently intend
to make oil the campaign capital they pos
sibly can out Of il. II is an unfortunate af.
fair, and puts the Democrats to disavantage
in the North, not withstanding, nearly every
decent white man in the State denounces it
as an outrage, and desires the perpetrators
brought to speedy trial and punishment
The civil authority is ample il properly exe
ecuted, to protect every citizen in his rights,
and punish crime wherever found, but the
Republicans mistrusting their own machin-
cry, post off to Washington and call for bay
onets. If Governor Chamberlain will only
put the civil authorities TO work in the Ham
burg case, he will have the moral support OF
nearly every white man in the State, and no
one knows it better than himself; but then it
might, by fair investigation, be developed
that certain Radical leaders fomentcd the
diff Guilty for political effect, and they would
loose good oportunity for flying the bloody
shirt The effort being made. by the Repub,
lican party to make political capital out OF
the affair would be unworthy any other party
especially when the law is ample for its pun>
ishment, and the execution of it is entirely in
their own hands. Nothing but political
change in the State will ever bring about
peaco and security

Governor Chamberlain in his bor-
anguc to tho negroes of fBoaufort made

EDlToR SEETISEt; i am itsf3rmsd thai you
are q member Of The C9anty Democratic
Executive Committee, I fAerefots, take the
liberty Of asking your committee, through the
columns OF your excellent paper, that oil your
readers may give the matter some thought
whether our young men under twenty one
years of age will be allowed vote In the 2ri-
mary election, I am sure, some haveyenroll-
ed in our. Cldbs.Who ere not ltwshty one,
and learn that they would like to vote In the
primary. think oil who are eighteen years
Of age, If they enroll, should be allowed
vote. Think kit proper for,youro committee TO
discuss this question--oonsult together and
determine at your next meeting whether or
not any who are under twenty one years Of
age shall be allowed o vote, and let the people
of the country hear from you, / am satisfied
that our people will oheerfully abide your
decision in the matter.
We have very many noble hearted worthy
young men between the ages Of eighteen and
twenty one years, who would be highlylploas-
ed to enroll and vote with us in the primary,
ana would cheertully and promptly rally to
their country's call; to any known duty de-
| volving upon them; would render any serv>
ices in their power TO our country, State or
nation. Is it not meet and proper then, to
allow them vote. They will not expect to
vote in the general, legal, election in the fall,
| knowing as they do, that it is prohibited by
law. 1t would give them great encourage
ment though to allow them vote in the pri.
mary, which / think we should take the
| greatest pleasure in doing. The affairs Of
our nation will in few years be managed by
our young men who are to dHy under twenty
one years ofage. All the important matters
and oil the high positions will soon be turned
over to the worthy young men-the boys who
are to day in their teens.
Respectfully,

DBMocRAT.

VNIIE canvass now opening is the most i'm
Il portant in which the people of South
Carolina have been engaged since the mo-
mentous election of 1860. Upon its result
depends the veal or woe of the State and the
Union.
THE NEWS AND COURIER will, as ever,

the past, has done what it could to serve the
Interests, and preserve the rights and liber-

Nor A LAWFUL MILITIA COMPANY,
BUT A SELF>ORGANIZED MoB.-Attor.
ney General Stono says in his report
that this Hamburg militia company
was organized in the time of Scott,
and by his authority, and that it had
almost died out. The fact is this: II
had totally and cntiroly died ont--and
long ago Tho Doc. Adams mob was
got together in May last-by Rivers,
Schiller, Lee, Sparnick & Co.-ior tho
worry purpose it has 30 lately sub
sorved. Thoy stole tho arms from
Roll, the postmaster, with whom thoy
had boon lodged when tho compa ny
ceased to exist; and Schiller got the
ammunition from Columbia for them;
at tho coat of tho State of course. Tho
idea OF their having kept ammunition
from the timo of Governor Scott to
this day, is suprcmely absurd.
Mr. Stone certainly docs not know
the negro. Why, they would have
fired away tho animation at cat

Doc. Adams company was an insolcnt
and lawloss mob, fatally bent upon
mischief And Schiller was the follow
who got tho ammunition. And the
animation was to shoot whito mon
with-and whito womon!-and white
children! Whonovor Radical author
tiles or Radical individuals give me-
groos guns and ammunition, 1Ohite men
are to be shot. And it is very well that
VIC should watch-and sometimes turn
the table. Lot us continue TO watch.

The Meeting ON monday Nieht.

-~'NN~N-NSJ
The "indignation meeting" on Monday
night, says the News and Courier, was not as
success full as Daddy Cain, for personal rea,
CONS, hoped to make it. Whlpper and Bin
oft were not there, and Cain was the central
figure OF the show.
The speeches were thoroughly mischievous
in tone. While parading their desire that
the laws should be enforced, and proclaim
ing their willingness to trust to legal process
es for redress, the speakers, with one or two
exceptions, left no word ansaid that; was
likely to inoito their audience to violent and
unlawful acts. Tho addresses and the reso>
iutions, as whole, were too monstrous for
publication. Never was more fendish de.
claration made than that "there are 0,OO0
black men in the State who CON bear Win
chester rifles and know how to use them, and
that there are 100000 women who can light
q torch and use the knife" These are the
diaboical utterances of colored men who
would be the first TO fee II there were even q
hint of danger. They are professional agita-
tors, who expect to find their profit in dis
sension and turmoil. Whom the political
cauldron boils they hope, like other scum, to
rise to the top. For the oolored people who
hear them and are duped by them, they care
nothing. They are willing that these shall
be slain, if they can save their own hides
But such rascals as those who bounded on
the colored people on Monday night, and they
alone, are responsible, and must be held res
ponsible, for any disturbance that may arise.
Make them understand this, convince them
that they, and not ignorant negroes, will be
held accountable to the last farthing, and
there will assuredly be no collision if they
can avert it.
The folly as we'll as the criminality of such
demagogues as Cain ought to be evident Il
even the most thoughtless coored man. They
contented that the laws do not punish white
men rs black offenders are punished. The
laws they derde were made or patched up by
Radicals; they are expounded by Radioa
Judges; in two thirds Of the State criminals
whoever they may be, are tried by negro
juries. Instead of there being any truth in
the assertion that the colored people are
punished more sharply than the whites are
|
other Radicals go unwhpt of justice, while
tic whites arc punished with the utmost Sc
verify. The records of the courts show this
When tho whites are acquitted, in the colored
counties, it is only because their innocence is
so manifest that even colored jury could
not be blind to it.
We say this without temper. South Caro-.
lima is in the hands Of the Radicals, and
until there is change in the relation of par
ties, we must expect that the minions Of tn,
law will favor those who elect or appoint
them TO office, and will have very little con
sidcration for those who oppose and denouno,
them. But it will bo time enough for tn,
colorcd people to cry out when they find tha
their Judges and juries discriminate agains
them. Until then, il is both wiser and safe
