SOUTH CAROLINA.

The opinion that the democrats will
carry South Carolina with the aid of a
large proportion OF the colored vote.
seems to have good foundation to rest
on. There was a meeting of colored
citizens held at Early Branch, in that
state, on the 9th ult., at which speeches
were made by colored men for the
Hampton ticket, and L Hampton re-
form club of twenty colored voters was
organized. In the rice districts it is
stated that all the colored men who have
suffered violence at the hands Of the
strikers, and whom Gov. Chamberlain
made no effort to protect, are declaring
their determination to support the
Hampton ticket in the hope of securing
a state government that a protect
them. In his speech at Cheraw, on
the Goth ult., Hampton said: There
are already enough colored men in the
democratic party to carry this election"
1t wnnld be t. curious thing to see the
strongest republican state in the
Union carried for Tilden by the aid Of
ten Of fifteen thousand colored voters.

1t seems, from all account in the Courier
Journal, that the kentucky darkles. who are be-
ing importer by the radicals into Indiana for vo-
ting purposes run u fearful risk. \ reporter Of
that journal has been reliably informed that
their importation has the twO-fold object Of se-
curing their votes and turning them over to the
medical colleges as subjects for dissection. At
least two thousand such subj ects will be needed
by the colleges this season. the usual sources Of
supply having been cut of, and medical students
have u peculiar fancy Tor the flesh of tn. negro.
1t Is well known that 1t far surpasses the flesh OF
white people for scientific purposes. Medical
students are bound to have their subjects, no
matter what stands in the way, and iL is not to
be supposed that they will fail to take advantage
of such excellent opportunities rs are afforded
by the negro emigration to Indiana. AS soon us
the negroes have voted, the radical emissarics
feel no further interest in them, and the ignorant
and helpless creatures fall an easy prey to the
body-snatcher and his chloroform. In fact, the
medical colleges assert their claims before the
politicians are through with the Victims, AID
we are not surprised to hear that numbers OF
the Kentucky negroes in Indiana have already
lIsuDDeured.

able man, who was not predetermined,
would, on examination Of the facts, come
to about this conclusion: Bledsoe and
Carmichael are men who sustain as
good regulations as any in the county,
who have been repeatedly honored by
their neighbsrs with positions of trust;
have given a lucid, full explanation OF
1 ,eir action.
The most that can be said is that they
were mistaken. If the matter grows
out of . mistake, which is best, to let it
90, or undertake to correct it? The
candidate put forward by the convention
is certainly as honest, and as capable II
not more SO than his opponent. 10 un-
dertake to correct the mistake OF two
delegates in the convention by support
ing this independent movement a only
result in Reorganization. in creating
feuds in the party that it will take years
to heal. will give aid and comfort to the
enemy, and even if successful what will
be the result? We will have no better
officer nor one who will be of more
credit to the party. or who will better
serve the interest Of the community. So.
for all the risk, all the hazard we will
have gained nothing. Some loss must
certainly follow.
But for the sake of argument suppose
that the action of the two delegates was
reprehsnsible suppose it deserves con
domination; we do not admit that such
is the case, We believe otherwise; but
for arguments sake suppose such to be
the case, what then! No one has dared
to S
party to it; or with evsr having advised
it; or having been in any way connected
with it. Tho delegates complained of,
state that their action was their own un-
biased free will. As far as Captain
Lesueur is concerned he had nothing to
do with it. But it is charged that he
endorsed it by accepting the nomination.
But it will be remembered that Captain
Lesueur believed that he was entitled
to votes which he did not get, which
would have nominated him anyhow, and
besides the whole convention had en-
dorsed it by making the nomination
unanimous. and as far as the captain is
concerned, the nomination that he ac-
cepted was a unanimous one. Now it is
proposed to rebuke the delegates of
Sni-a-bar by defeating a candidate who is
just As innocent of any wrong in the on.
v%ention rs was his opponent. by electing
a man, who for tho sake of ofice. violates
his pledge to abide by the decision of the
convention, and acts 50 as to disorganize
his party; who persistently charges with
fraud and corruption men whose standing
as gentlemen Of homer is as good as his
own, and who, IS circumstances prove,
are much better democrats.
DR.. Fulkerson complains that we will
not publish the articles of himself and
friends. We profess to be democrats.
and ours q democratic paper. As such,
we support the nominees of the party.
How can we be expected to give space
in u columns. and expend our time and
money. forthe purpose Of publishing ar
ticles which, in our opinion. are calculated
to disrupt and disorganize the party We
support - we believe the communica-
tions find light in the republican organ
in this city. Certainly a much o
fitting medium Of publication, consider
ing the object they are expected to &C.
complish.

selfish ambition of one man may lose
that county to the democratic party.
The loss of that county may be enough,
In the present close contest. to lose the
state of Indiana next Tuesday, and the
loss of Indiana may decide the presiden-
tial election against the democratic
party in November.
When local embroglios are at a dis
lance, we can see how suicidal they are
how they effect the general result.
We wonder that those who wish Tor the
defeat of the republican party will allow
themselves TO be drawn into them. But
when they exist at home, AZ is the case
in our county at the present time. We
forget the general good i'll our selfish
personal contests.
Such influences as these it is that will
90 far towards defeating Tilden, if he Is
defeated. Such local quarrels impair
the strength of the democratic party
wherever they occur. and give no III
considerable ala 10 tue raulcals III Ilei'

set down as a rule, without excep'

in opposition to the regular nominee, th'
republican organ in that county, if there
is one, will aid the boiter. The two
