EDITORIAL NOTES.


Chamberlain. witta5aaii i,ts boasted intel
lcct, is but pig:ly compared with ths
noble type Of the true Carolinian, al
presented in the person Of General
Hampton.
Referring TO the Presiden.'o proclama
ton, the New York Herald gives this ad
vice to the South Carolina Democrats
"The only course 10 be pursued, then. il
TO afford no pretence fer the use Of troops
and to let all violence come from those
who are loudest In demanding protection
The boot will thus be completely trans
fered to the other leg. 1t is better for til,
Democrats to suffer now and show self
restraint by avoiding retaliation than u
meet disorder and lawlessness with simi
| Lar conduct"
| but twelve nicrc days remain in which
to work for the redemption Of the Pal
me:to State. Every Carolinian is expcc
ted to do his whole duty from now unit
our common mother Is freed forever from
the infamous tyranny, oppression and
corruption of carpet-bag rule. Farmers
merchants, lawyers, mechanics, preach
ers, doctors. all have duty to perform
and ne expect them To do it chcerftilly
yes nobly. Every man should make his
Influence COUNT upon his neigbbors, hit
friends and his acquaintances. A united
front will bring the reward of victory
Unity and activity nto the watchword
for every Democrat
The yellow fever has abated considera
bly, in Savannah, and the death rnre from
that disease seems decreasing every day
The Mayor OF Savannah has published &
card, in which he expresses the deer
sense OF gratitude felt by the people o
that cisy for the generous benevolcnc,
and timely sid extended 20 the sufferer
from all parts of the United States, and
announcing that further contributions In
money and supplies are not needed tc
meet the distress and destitution brought
on by the fearful epidemic. II has been
terrible scourge for the people Of
Savannah, and the glad news of its disap.
pcarance will evoke gratitude and thank.
fulness in all parts Of the country.
The Republican meeting Mt Wnlhalli
on sSasaT'lay last was q small affair. Tht
attendance was quite limited OF account
of Bcbinson's Circus exhibiting at Seneca
City on that day, which proved much
greater attraction TO the colored people
than the antics Of Cl,IoYoform Carpenter
Greencr and Co. Only about four OF
five hundred participated in the meeting
including Democrats, and there were only
about one hundred negroes present. Ad
dresses were made by Carpenter, Greencr
Talbot and Others. who refused join
discussion, which had been positively
agreed upon in writing before the speak
ers arrived. Many questions were asked
which worried them considerably, bu
there was no disturbance, although Bryc.
took down about hundred names o
persons who put questions to the speakers
The eolored men seemed more. in favor o
Hampton thnn ever after the meeting
and there is no doubt that the Democrat
gained ground AMONG them, in conse
quence Of the bad faith shown in the re
flsal Of joint discussion.
The Radicals arc prone TO allege thu
Gems. Gary and Butler, of Edgefeld
f'make II their business to incite riots an,
provoke bloodshed. In fact, these gen
tlemen ere held up to the gaze Of tn,
world IN being guilty Of planning massa
cres, and devising tortures for the negroes
Every decent, honest man in South Caro-
lima knows that these allegations are thl
|. vilest slanders and most iunmitigatet
falsehoods upon record; and no one sav,
tho villainous carpet-baggers in this Stat
| and their colleagues in deviltEy ,woul,
venture to promulgate such assertions
But the faetsl OF the recent ambuscad
! nee. E.lsAHelA Conrl Hnu.a yindi.at.
onr friends from such charges most con
clusively, for all accounts agree that But
ler and Gary exerted their great and de
served influence to pregens retaliation
upon the negroes for the cruel and un
| provoked murder of white Democrat
Tho opportunity was afforded them i
simply allow the cotnradea of the murder
cd man 70 act upon their own judgment
butait was the restraining influence o
Gems. Gary aud Butler whiSl prevente'
further trouble and summary vengealc
upon tho negroes. Such, conduct is Il
striking contrast with the horrible pic
lures of their characters drawn by th
lying correspondents of Radical news
papers, North and South. ~ 8 r.
