Ask the Democrats of this County to re-

dates takes place on Friday, the 18th instant,
and urge them to attend promptly and make
tho primary success, and not let it prove q
failure as some of its opponents predict 1t

ations, and leaves no room for manipuations

The Power of the Military.

Secretary Robson and GeneralT. Morris
Chester, the colored Assistant State Superin-
tendent of Education of Louisiana, had an
interview with the President to day, the cons
yersation being about Southern political of
fairs. The President told himhe had given
up all hope Of carrying any of the Southern
States except the Carolinas and Louisiana,
but that, as to, Louisiana, troops would be
furnished and measures would be adopted to
bring out tho colored vote, and money would
be supplied for campaign purposes and to ex.
eoute the plans mado for carrying the State.
Chester returns to New Orleans with letter
from the President to Marshal Packard tell
ing him not to be in hurry to resign the
marshalship, as he wishes him to put in ope-
ration the plans he has formed for carrying
tho State.
The above is q special telegram from Wash
ington TO The New York Herald. The Caro-
linas and Louisiana arc to be carried for the
Radical party by the use Of money and Fcd>
eral bayonots Already the Hamburg diff
Guilty has afforded an excuse for using the
troops in this State, and if any more excuses
arc needed they can be manufactured to order
by tho Whipper-clan.

They have appeared in great mum bers about

We Trust

Our Democratic friends viii generally turn
out on next Monday, and take part in select
ing delegates to the State Convention. We
think they should give an expression to their
views as to State policy, so that their dele,
gates may know how to act in tho convention.
We are sure that "straight out" ticket from
Governor down, is earnestly desired by the
Democrats of this County, and think it proper
that they shotld so express themselves in or
der that the State Convention may distinctly
understand their position.

ANOTHER EDGEFIELD HoRRoR.-On
Tuesday last, an Oppressed negro
caught the seven year old daughter of
Mr.. Louis Prescott, small farmer
naer Red Hill, in Edgefiod county,
on hcr way from school, dragged her
off into the woods, and there COM
mittod crimo upon hor, upon hu-
manity and civilization, at tho recital
of which tho blood fairly curdlos in the
human veins. The most remarkable
feature of this terrible crimo is that
the father, law-abiding citizen
mounted his horse and rodo ten milos
to n Trial Justice for tho purpose OF
obtaining warrant for the arrest Of
this devil in human shape who had
committed tho outrage. His noigh-
bors, IL seems, taking the proper Wow
of tho affair, without legal warrant or
authority, but acting in the spirit Of
that higher law which was mado be-,
fore the statutes Of South Carolina
were ever dreamed of, arrested tho
scoundrcl, and report says "lost him'
in tho WOO ds.-Rogister.
