THE "MARTIAL Law, TALK.
What The New York Herald Thinks
AbOut IL.

[From the New York Herald Editorial.l
Of course the report which comes
from Washington, that the administra-
ton thinks of declaring martial law in
the Southern States, is nonsense. We
are not living in Mexico and the Con-
gress of 1S75did not pass the Force bill.
70 attempt to interfere, with Federal
arms and martial law, in the Southern
elections would be for the Republicans
to give up the struggle. They would
excite q storm of alarm and indigna-
ton in the North which would sweep
the Northern States against them.
The truth is the Republican party
does not deserve to carry any Southern
State, unless it he North Carolina,
where the parties are very equally
matched, and where the Republicans
are az respectable and as certain to give
the State q good government as the
Democrats. They might have carried
q numbe: of the other States if they
had paid only a little attention to good
government down there; if it had not
been S % long the policy at Washington
to encourage and support with the Fed
eral patronage set of graceless and I'M
scrupulous political gamblers and adj
venturers, to the exclusion of honora-
BILE and honest men, who might easily
have been brought into the Republic
can party by the use of a little wisdom
and good management. That the
South is to-day a unit, or very nearly
so, for the Democratic party is the fault
of Republican mismanagement at
Washington. Every man, no matter
whether he is Republican OF Demo-
cratic, who desires to see the Southern
States honestly ruled must wish that
they shall be carried this fall by the
Democrats.

Intimidation.

Editor Press and Banner:
The Death knell of the Republican
party has sounded, yet they are still
struggling against fate, end are trying
to keep alive. We learn that Il of
our neighbors recently had o CONVEX
with a colored man, and was
told by him that deep down in his
heart he was a Democrat and was anx-
ious to join in with us, but that lie
was actually AFRAID Of his life, having
been threatened with death did he
join our ranks.
Now, Mr.. Editor, I have long
thought that a great many negroes
would join us were they not afraid to
do so. / have heard of several who
were thinking of joining but were
prevented by violent threats from hot
headed Radicals. Now, l want to
know whether we are to see those who
are for US intimidatcd, or are we going
to 20 to all such and promise their
complete protection under our banner?
Our Radicals would do we'll to think
on this mootcd subject of intimida-
ton. Come into u ranks colored
mel and you shall be safe.
A GREAT many farmers in the Tenn
pie of Health neiyhborhood were mad
when on gathering their corn they
very often found the shuck minus the
corn. Radical rogues are looking to
the future, and will still stick to their
Radical friends while they consider it
nothing but right that we should sup
port them.

he was sure we could triumph if we
only willed to do so; no violence was
used in Mississippi, but they put a flea
in the ears of the Radical carpet-bag-

more congenial cline; the leading
eolorcd Republicans joined with the
whites in their efforts to get good gov

THE DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERS
TIC
Of this, great gathering at Lowndesville
which gave fresh inspiration to the
speakers and a new impetus to the
cause was the presence OF colored
people, male and female, young and
old, in unprecedentcdly large numbers.
The speakers and those of lis who
had been present at other mass meet
ings of the Democracy could not re-
train from frequently expressing de-
light ut the spectacle presented by the
sea of upturncd sable faces. These
colored people, both men and women,
listened to the speakers one after the
other with undivided and most res
pcctful attention.
Among other oldarmy friends whom
we met at Lowndesville, were Mcssrs.

Sale Day.

Last Monday was Sale Day, and Z
considerable amount of valuable prop
crty was sold by the Sheriff, but ow-
ing to the scarcity Of money and the
unsettled political condition of the
country the property sold brought

beville county. The estate of james

Court.

The OctobcrTcrm of the Court open
Il at this place on Monday last, His
Honor Judge Cooke, presiding. Ma
civil business, except the calling OF
Calender No. g., was transacted. The
Jail was cleared in the disposition OF
the following criminal cases.
The State =. Edward Cummings,
grand larceny-plead guilty-scntenc-
ed to one yearin the ~peuitentiary.

The State VS.. Wesley Knight, grand

The Grand Jury in their Present.
ment presented Trial Justice Bruce for
what they deemed improper conduct
at the meeting ON Monday night. The
Court required him to givehail in the
sum Of one thousand dollars, TO keep
the peace for twelve months and q
day.
The Court adjourned last night to
meet on Tuesday of next week. At q
meeting of the Bar, at which the So
licitor was present, this course was
advisable, to investigate vari-
Gus reports Of breechcS of the peace.
These matters will be strictly investi-
gated and the law fully vindicatcd.
There was more drunkenness on
Sale Day than VIC have noticed for the
pas six months previous.

GOOD FOR LACRENS.
The Democrats all Right.

Tomlinson and others from Column
bia went to Laurens on Thursday
night, arriving unexpectedly about
midnight, with a view Of surprising
the Democracy. The meeting had
been advertised for Saturday, but they
thought to steal a march on the Dem
ocrats by coming u day earlier. A.
soon as they arrived the Democrats
dispatched couricrs to every quarter Of
the County and early in the morning
Il thousand hOrseman greeted the UNI
willing cars Of the d%isgruntled Rads,
and claimed an equal division Of time,
which, under the sound of the
bugle of the "boys in blue,'
was indignantly refused. The
Democrats then expressed their deter
animation to be heard, when the Hon.
y. +. Owens, the man who has so long
misrepreScnted Laur"us in the State
Senate, applied to the officer in COM
mand of the u. S. troops for u guard
to prevent the Democrats from attend
ing their meeting. We learn that the
officer politely requested him to 90 to
that place, the temperature Of which
has always been considered as too hot
for comfort, and added "that he did
not come to Laurcns to interfere in
politics."

Democratic Meeting.

A ncighborhood Democratic meet
ing was held last Friday night below
Stony Point at which the speakers
were ESP. Tarrant, Col. f. A. Conner,
DR.. Maxwell and Capt. Parks. There
were about &cvcnty-live colorcd men
men present, and they generally cX-
pressed themselves as well pleased
delighted and oneof the leaders said
IF you vii! just do what YOU say we
don't want anything better" The I'M
derstanding was that no fire arms were
to be brought to the meeting, and with
that assurance the colOred people
agreed to attend. a like meeting is to
be held at the same place on to-nor-
row at = o'clock with increased interest,
An old colored man presided. One OF
the men said he intended to vote the
Democratic ticket but he would not
join the club because che thought
that meant war" There arc many of
them just that ignorant, but if they
will vote the Democratic ticket it
is all we want. Argument and facts,
at these quiet nc~ighborllood meetings,
We suggest, will do more good than
red shirts and ct cctcra.

How to Cure a bad Memory.

Your memory is bad perhaps; but I
can tell you two secrets that will cure
the worst memory. One 1 mentioned
above TO read q subject when strong
ly interested. The other is to not OH
ly read but think. When you have
read a paragraph or q page, stop, close
the book, and try to remember the
ideas on that page, and not only recall
them vaguely into your mind, but put
them into words and speak them out.
Faithfully follow these two rules, and
you have the golden key of knowl-
edge. Besides inattentive reading,
there are other things injurious to
memory. One is the habit Of skim
ming over newspapers, items of news,
smart remarks, bits Of information,
political reflections, fashion notes, all
in a confused tumble never to be
thought of again, thus diligently Gull
tivating q habit of careless reading,
hard to break. Another is the read
ing of trashy novels. Nothing is so
fatal to reading with profit as the hab-
it of running through story after sto-
ry, and forgetting them as O o as
read. know q gray-haired woman a
lifelong lover Of books, who sadly de-
clares that her mind has been ruined
by such reading.
