", as claimed by the Eya-N,inoisan, Ike
Clements ran q thousand votes ahead of
his ticket, the conclusion is Irresistible
that he drew to that extent from the
Democratic party. A 1t is not claimed
that Mr.. Willis (who is to be the Repub-

OF the legal liability Of mercantile ageucy

been adiuaicatel in Canada. An agency In
Toronto, protesting, through its system OF
espionage, to know the financial standing Of
certain retail dealer, sold its so,called
knowledge to Wholesale dealer, who pro-
ceeded to sell to tho retail dealer upon tho
purchased hypothesis thht he would receive
the money for his goods In dus time. The
Wholesale dealer'a prospects Of getting paid
were, shortly after this transaction, rendered

dealer recovered $524 At law from the 1ues.

THE SOUTHERN REHELLION.

No print elsewhere several narratives.
gathered from our lnails, showing the deter
mined spirit OF rebellion that exir:s in tho
South tho resolution Of tho Southern Til
denites that, notwithstanding constitutional
guarantees, tho Republican negroes ahall be
DISTINGUISHED at tho forthcoming election;
md tho terrorism TINT prevails In nearly every
onaof the Southern Statos, md wo call tho ear-
most attention of our readers TO these reports.
Forewarned should be forcarmod, and IL, In
case Of the election Of T1LpEN aud IIgs-
DntoKs, th1s spirit Of rebellion should asaor..
itself anew, rs It did In 1861, the Union mon
Of the North cannot complain that thoy were
betrayed. We commend to cur readers tho
extract from speech delivered ut Walhalla,
8. G., On the 4th inst. by ex.Gov. D. +.
PEanE, one Of the most prominent atlyocatea
Of T1LpEN and WADE HAMPTON in TINT State,
We especially commend to them the closing
sentence OF that speech, In which
he adyisca that ogery Southern Republican
shall bo ostracized and branded with in-
fanny: "And hero / would appeal to my
Democratic frionda all over the Stato to stop
all social intercourse With any nun .aho l.
base enough to b T. Radical, Lot him feel by
your conduct toward lin that tile brand OF
infamy Ia on him and lis children. IHis IL

This was tho talk Of the Southern tlre.eatcrs
before the War. 1t means intimidation, ter.
rorism, disfranchisement. It means that tue
same agencies which were employed In the
days Of slavery to prevent Union mon from
expressing thoir principles shall be employed
now to prevent them from exercising the
constitutional right Of suffrage. we call tho

Two Of tho Republican Conventions to
nominate candidates for Congress in this
County meet to-day. The three districts
arc now represented by Democrats. These
three men were dectnred elected by small
maiorities, aggrcgating less than 1000 in all.
No believe that the three districts will, sep
a1ntoly md unltediy, give HAYES and
WHEELER large majority, md that each
district 1nay DO safely depended on to elect
tho Republican candidate, provided the can
didate bo man who ought to be elected.
While believing that each Of these tiatricts
is certain to givo HAYES and WHEELER
handsome minority, 1t docs not follow TINT
the nomination for Congresa will be eqniva-
lent to an election, unless the candidate
ahnl1 be worthy Of tie respect and confidence
Of tho public. Unlike tho Democratic party,
the Republicans cannot DO whipped iato tho
support Of any person who may manage to
got the nomination. Republican voters are
apt to discriminate, and, where nominating
Convention selects the weakest and most un-
fitted man, these Republicans arc npt to ro-
dress the error Of tho Convention by lefcat-
ing tho candidate at the polls.
The Republican majority in each Of these
districts is not 30 largo rs to warrant Con-
vention in taking any risks, or in giving any
complimentary nominations, or in attempting
to force upon tho party any candidate against
whom there aEe my weli-fouuded objections,
personal or political. The Republican party
in tho country, and especially in Chicago,
has declared for sound money. The imitation
party "a making its own nominations, and has
no right to expect the Republicans TO adopt
either its currency watering platform or ita
dilution candidates. Tho Republican party
should select as candidates to represent this
commercial oity in Congress men Of personal
integrity, Of intellectual ability, md free OF
all entanglements In tho way Of claimants
or aa ngonts Of claimants. Our congressman
should go to Washington free OF ali suspicion
Of personal aggrandizoment, and be able in
their own persons and character to vindicato
the purity mud integrity Of tho Republican
party. II tho Conventions shall nominate
such candidates, there will be no fear but
the nominations will be ratified at tho polls,
and the Conventions will undoubtedly seek
to mike SUCCESS certain by discarding all
mere personal considerations, and naming
candidates who aro sure to bc elected, aud

The Charleston Nt,es and Courier, ono OF
the most active supporters OF TrtpEN and

very work suggested by thu Democratic
speaker mentioned above. It singles out
the Republican merchants Of charleBton,
black aud white, and recommends that no
ono shall deal with them, and other papers
throughout the State arc following tho sanlc
course.
From these and humorous otler reports Of
similar character 1t is evident that there fs
no protection in tho South for any man,
black or white. who Is known to be Repub.
lican. Tho whole South is in the possession
Of an armed Democratic mob engaged in
breaking up Republican meetings, aud shoot
Ing down or driving away from their homes

Republicans. Tho samo mob will prevent
them from voting on election day unless
thoy vote tho Democratic ticket.
There is but ono remedy for this The
South Inns carried this question outside Of all
political considerations. It Is now question
Of order OF anarchy, Of obedience to the laws
or rebellion against against them. The Ne-
>publicans Of the South must have rolief The

right to think, to act, to vote aa

publican, ho is shot down at his areslde or
in his bed. II he refuses to nttond Demo-
