Democrats have received five times the
violence from Republicans that Repubii-
cans have from Democrats, and Governor
Chamberlain has made no effort To stoD
these troubles beyond asking for troops
and when troops are sent here they are
not stationed at the points of trouble.
When the writer says he feared the in
Perception Of his letter he proved his
lying, for the postmaster at Walhalla and
the route agents along tho llail routc are
Republicans. The statements about the
United States flag are equally false.
There never MAS so many uatio1al flags
In this State before, and it has never Gre
ated the enthusiasm IN South Carolina
which it does to-day since the times of
notification. These flags adorn every
campaign stump, and are carried by
nearly every club iii the State. There is
better feeling in South Carolina towards
the Union than has existed in many
years. We would really like to renew
our national fraternity, and nothing, not
even the bloody shirt speakers of the Re
publican party, can induce South Caro-
lima to pursue IT,. course falsely attribu-
ted to her.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Captain Lloyd has been sent tc Abbc.
vile with company of United States
troops. They are spoken of Us gentle
men, and the people of Abbeville do moi
regret their presence. Their presence
will not do anything to damage the cause
of Democracy in that County. The
bloody shirt programme has simply
played out, and the sooner the Republi-
cans recognize the fac. the better it will
be for them. United States troops ars as
much of protection to one side rs they
are to another.
The U.,ion- Herald is unable to manu-
facture sufficient campaign falsehoods,
therefore il has gone to copying the ficti-
tious correspondence of other papers,
which it knows contain the most slander-
Gus fabrications put out in the interest of
Morton's bloody shirt canvass.
The States of Indiana, Ohio, West
Virginia and Colorado vote on next
Tuesday for State officers. The Demo-
Gratis will get the lions share of these
States, and after that no reasonable per-
son will bet on Hayes and Wheeler.
The bloody shirt and Carl Schurz
speeches were like oil and water, they
would not mix, aud hence added to the
Democratic canvass In both Ohio and In
diana.

A CARD.

Having been suggested for nomination
by the Democracy of Anderson County
for the position of g representative in the
next General Assembly, desire 10 return
my sincere thanks to the kind friends who
made the suggestion i'm the card published
last week, IN we'll IS to those who have
indicated an endorsement of the sugges-
ton since it's publication. From defer
encc to their wishes, regret that circum-
stances impcl me to tho opinion that |
should decline to become candidate at
this time. The race is too far spent to
make it advisable to introduce new can.
didntcs; and my principal reason for
declining to run is, thut do not think
the best interests Of the Democracy would
be advanced by my candidacy. Besides
this, personal considerations render it to
my advantage not to become u member
of Che Legislature, if could be elected
for it would call me from my profession
Mt busy season of the year, and also
render it necessary for me to employ
some one to take my place in the edito-
rial work. OF course, however, / would
chccrinlly forcgo any personal intercs. il
the people Of my County needed my
services i' any position, but l am salts
fled TINT men can bo selected from tho
candidates already announced who will
serve the County MS efficiently as I could
do, II not more 30. I do not believe it is
possible for man to render more eff
cient service in any sphere than he can
do by editorial work, and my friends
may rest assured that no man takes q
more lively interest in the SUCCESS of the
State and County Democracy than do.
have given tic greater part OF my time
and attention to assist in it's achievement
since the first agitation Of the question,
and must congratulate the people upon
the fiattering prospects before them.
desire to complete this battle as O private
and not as an officer, and hence have
made these plain statements in sho hope
shss mag convince my friends that nj
though ! appreciate their compliment,
yet it is best that should not enter the
canvass as candid:tc.
Very respectfully,
E. B. MURRAY.

go with what force ne could control ami
act as n posse comitdtus under the orders
of Deputy Sheriff Patterson, Of Barnwoll.
His command numbered four hundred
and seventy-ive men, and they were COL
lected in thirteen hours. Among the
number was the Colored Democratic
Club of Rarnwell. No arrests we're made.
and after securing the country in search
OF the rioters the command dispersed to
their homes. His report estimates tho
number of colored men killed at thirty.
The Beaufort Tribune understands that
Judge Wiggin denies that he gave any
orders to Gen. Hagood in regard to this
affair.

NORTHERN HEN In pHE SOUTH.

The Union-Reraid, Gov. Chamberlain's
mondacious organ of the bloody shirt
stripe, speaks Of the generous contribu-
tions from the North 10 the yellow fever
sufferers, and then says: "In the South
we read of, see and feel tho Northern
man ostracised and threatened to be BAN
ished and starved, if not murdered, for
his political opinions. And this is free
America" If by the Northern man the
Union Herald means the Industrious, in
telligent honest settler in our midst from
the North, the article is infamously false
and sianderous of our people. There are
Northern gentlemen in this County, who
have settled amongs. ;;s since The war,
and who have been Republicans, that are
respected and treated with sufficient re-
cognition and kindness to induce them to
make this their home when they were
able to have settled elsewhere. They
have come here rs citizens of integrity,
and have sustained their reputation by
their conduct. Hence, they ara treated
as friends. If, however, the Union
Herald means by the term Northern men
the political bummers wko have come
down South to cngender discord between
the races, then its statements ought TO be
made true if they are not already so.
But they are not treated so because they
are Northern men, it is becauae they are
political thieves and disreputable villains,
who had no recognition among respecta-
bic men at the North. If a set of thieves
were to GO to Massachusetts, they would
not receive social or business recognition,
but would be accommodated to peni-
tentiary cell, We have the evidence of
verdics from a jury that ex-treasurer
Iarhcr WIS tnieT; the statement or the
candidate of the Republicans party for
Attorney General that Gov. Chamber
lain has been guilty of felony the affi-
davits of mon from Pennsylvania to vari-
Gus swindling acts upon the part OF Sem
ator Patterson; the verdict of Congress
against the respectability of Whittemore
by his expulsion for selling cadctship;
the conviction of G. G. Bowen for bieamy.
and a long list of such charges against
numerous Others of these adventures.
No respectable man could counteuance
men of this stamp, and 1t is useless for
the paper owned by Gov. Chamberlain
to endeayor to work up "A prejudice
against oar people. We have been ruled
By these rascals until both white and
coiorcd citizens feel that our business
and our respectabiIity demand that they
DO turned out to make room foe honest
men.
