THE LEDGER, on Tuesday last,
asked of the Democratic nominees
for the State Senate and House Of
Representatives, whether or not
they opposed any change in the
law creating the Board of Police
and Fire Commissioners? Before
the County Convention Major
Edgington, a thorough gentleman,
able lawyer and sterling Democrat,
was a candidate for the Office Of
State Senator. He was approached
by a leading ward politician, and
was asked if he favored the
adjustment Of the Board Of
Police and Fire Commissioners.
He replied that he did not;
and Major Edgington was defeated
In the convention by the politician
and his friends. 1t is asserted
that other candidates we're also ap.
preached, and for that reason it is
right and proper that the nominees
should rise aud explain. The
proposition was to abolish the Board
of Police and Fire Commissioners,
or to SO change the law as to have
the chiefs Of the Police and Fire
Departments elected by either the
General Council or by the people.
This latter scheme would destroy
the efficiency of the Board and
would make the chiefs independent
of it. The departments would then
become political machines, to be

The most significant voice from
down-trodden South Carolina is the
address of German citizensof Aiken.
Ina calm, impartial address, utterly
dispassionate, they appeal to their
fellow-countrymen o fthe North and
West. They denounce as false all
reports eliminating the white peo-
pie Of South Carolina; and ask for
fair play and an impartial hearing.
Setting out that the miserable poll
tical Adventures who control the
negroes are responsible for all the
troubles in South Carolina, they say
the only crime of the white people
appears to be their earnest, patriotic
efforts for reform. They add:
In all these:diaiculties the whites have,
at first, acted altogether on the defen.
sive, and they have assumed the offensive
only when it became necessary by de-
cisive action to prevent greater diff
c%ulties. In all cases they have shown
their willingness to submit to the proper
officers of the State or to the United
States whenever they appeared, aud
Shove ed an ability to cope with and check
the riotous negroes, Instead of being
antagonist;c the two races have been
and can be forever in perfect harmony.
1t is only the Intervention Of an alien
hand"which has produced a temporary
iiscord. The people are working hard
for q good government which will bring
back prosperity to all classes, and enable
both blacks and whites TO live and work
together quiotly aud amieably, as they
are anxious to do.
As part of the Commonwealth Of
South Carolina, as men who hold no
Office and seek no position at all,
but look to the renovation Of her for
tunes for our own business success, we
cannot stand apart at this crisis, but
must join our hands earnestly with the
party which is laboriug for the result
which appears TO us so vital TO our we'll.
being, and we are anxious that u coun-
trymen should realize the true condition
of affairs here, so that a fair, impartial
judgment can be had 70 our various
friends who know us and our standing
through the commercial registers, and to
our fellow Germans and countrymen
generally, we appeal earnestly and dis
passionately for that sympathy and aid
in our great struggle here, which comes
through an honest recognition of our
position aud aims.

NORFOLK Virginian: The vote
of South Carolina is insignificant
as far as it affects the Presidential
election, but the attempt to deliver
it bound hand and foot in Federal
chains to the Radical party will
rouse the indignation of every hon

THE Nashville Banner of the
24th contains the following cheerful
news:
Governor Porter arrived in the city
yesterday, and is taking a brief breath
ing spell from his arduous campaign la
bors. The Governor is a bit rntbusissiic
over his reception in Memphis, the sup,
posed center Of repndiationism and ell
the other political isms of the day, Des.
pite the crooked political teachings Of
some Of the Memphis papers, Shelby
county, we doubt not, will give Porter a
rousing majority when voting day comes
round.
Memphis being the center Of
"isms" is a good joke. Where Is
the center of the funding ring
"ism," the pe%nitentiary lease 'ism,"
the State-house ring "ism" located?
Why, at Nashville. We are pleased
to know that the Governor is en-
thusiastic and that the Banner feels
that Shelby county will give Porter
a rousing majority, but thep Shelby
county will not.

CARL ScHURz has gone to New

while e~xpatiating on these matters,
should repeat to the people wha. he
said in a speech four years ago.
Thus Schurz in 1872.
Thus it is that the great name, the
great authority Of the Republican party,
in its national capacity, is being used.
this very moment, to uphold the most
atrocious system of government which
this country ever saw. A party which
can not live and prosper unless it be
supported by corruption; a party that
cannot prosper unless it be supported by
a revival of the cid wal feeling, and by
tearing open again the wounds from
which the people Of the United States
have bled so long; such a party, when il
has come to that, does not deserve to
