Philosophers Stone which transmutes all
things into gold. All things, all the beauty
of art, the strength of science, the richness
and variety of civilization must have basis
of hard, physical labor. Now, a marked
characteristic of the American people is, that
while they like business, and have talent
and force for guiding and directing it, they
do not like to lay hold with their hands.
You may bet the last dollar that he knows
we'll how to appropriate good share of the
results Of labor as compensation for his
supervision, but he shirks the physical
work. The country is amply supplied with
the material to supervise or direct. What
is required is the manual labor that produ-
COS. AS population increases, cultivation
improves, and hence any given area produ-
ces more. Skill is necessary as well as work,
for it is only skilled labor that is we'll paid.
But it is unnecessary to more than glance at
the manifest reasons which should induce
us to favor immigration into the South. We
must rid ourselves of certain policies that
were the natural adjuncts of ante bellum civ
ilization. An altogether different condition
of things exist, and this necessitates dis
similar conduct.
I have passed over the country, gentle
men, from the territory of almost perpetual
winter to the country Of evergreen-of UNI
ceasing spring and summer. have observed
with interest the changes of climate, the va
rieties of soil, the different productions which
enrich the country, but in no part of it have
seen combination Of superior or, in my
judgment of equal advantages, with those
which distinguish the territory bordering on
the 34th degree of latitude III the Southeast
Atlantic. Let us endcavor to make the sec
ton in which our lot has been cast all that
bencfcient Providence designed it to be.
If such be the popular will, the future is
secure.

TO DEMOCRATIC CLUBS.

At the County Convention held on

Resolred, That the various Democratic
Clubs be requested within the next nine
ty days to indicate their preferences to
the County Chairman, whether nomina-
tions should be made by primary cleo
tions or otherwise.
The time designated in the above reso-
luton will expire on the 7th of May, and
it is hereby requested that the Clubs will
discuss this important matter at their
meetings in March and April, and report

"AND STILL THEY ESCAPE"

Charleston has recently been the stage
upon which has been enacted another of
the frequent farcical attempts to punish
Republican official by means of the
Courts in this State. NJ. McLauglin,
one of the County Commissioners of
Charleston, some time last summer forged
claim against the County of Charleston
in favor of one Ashe, whose name he
signed to the affidavit that the debt was
Just and due. He was indicted for forge
~ and convicted. After conviction his
attorney, Gen. Connor, moved an arrest
of judgment on the following grounds:
"That forgery was not felony, under
the statutes of the State, but only mis-
demeanor, and therefore punishable only
as misdemeanor. The Indictment was
defective, because it charged the forgery
of claim, when i'll fact claim could
not be forged. 1t should have charged
the forgery of the signature to the false
affidavit, and the indictment should have
been laid with intent to defraud Ashe, in
whose favor the claim was made out.
The county owed Ashe no money, and
therefore there could be no intent to de-
fraud Ashe, whether his signature was
genuine or forged"
Judge Reed said that he regretted that
he was compelled to sustain the motion.
Thus, the defendant was dismissed. The
case was a plain one, and the Solicitor
has shown very marked ignorance of
the law or deliberate intention to allow
a guilty officer to escape just punish
ment. Under an Indictment for obtain
ing money under false pretences, convic-
ton would have been sustained and the
offender punished. The pretended efforts
of the Republican party to purify itself
have all proven TO be shams, and show
that some of the officers of justice are
conniving at the escape of criminals.
This is the record the Republican party
has made and is perpetuating Cor itself in
the Nation and the State.

PUBLIC OPINION.

GODLlC OI 1~NlOAN.
7 had a conversation, this morning,
with a gentleman, keen observer of
men and things, who has travelled in
eighteen States during the last three
months, and under circumstances which
gave him unusual facilities for ascertain
Ing the opinions and wishes of the people.
MY informant found, everywhere, intelll-
gent Republicans, not professional politi-
cians-that is, not dependent, in any
way, upon public employment-who
thought that the best interests OF the
country require that the next President
shall be q Democrat identified 1cith the
cause of administration reform. The feel
ing expressed was that the Republican
party, rs an organization, has become so
permeated with corruption that mere
change of its leaders can not be produc-
tive of reform, and that change Of party
is essential The prevalence of this feel
ing, among men who have voted the Re-
publican ticket for twenty years, was,
my informant says, surprise to him. 1t
is not because these men have ceased to
be Republicans, but because they recog-
nize the fact that their own party is
rotten to the core. They will not, how
ever, vote for Democrat unless he be
man in whose devotion to honest admin
istration of the government they will
have implicit faith. He must have no
taint of cliqucs or rings about him, but
must stand forth as a representative of
the whole people. What the country
needs is a man in the Presidential chair
who Will do for the United States what
Samuel J. Tildcn, the Democratic Gov
ernor of New York, has done for that
State. Such man the Democratic party
must nominate, and he will sweep the
country. Who he will be it is now too
carly to predict; but the party must find a
standard bearer rho ,cW command The con-
fdcncc Of the nation.

The only really good thing in the
letter Of Hayes acceptance of the Re
publican nomination for president is,
that he "would not accept the office for
second term, even though it should
be rendered him." All of which is
well enough, but human nature is ial,
lible, and Hayes would not prove an
exception 10 the rule.
