Let BygOnes be BygOncS.

Governor Tilden speaks out manfnlly
on the question of Southern claims, not
evading the issue in any way, but meeting
it squarely in every particular. His policy
is, simply, let bygones be bygones. The
civil war is over and all questions per
tanning to it are settled. They must not
be reopencd. The fourteenth amend
ment must be maintained, executed and
enforced in absolute good faith. No
rebel debt can be assumed or paid, and
no loss by the emancipation Of slaves or
damage caused by the war will be allow
ed, whether covered by the fourteenth
amendment or not. The Governor thinks
the past cannot be considered at all, but
that the only safe rule is to turn to new
and better future, and on that basis to
assure peace, reconciliation and fratern-
ity. These sentiments are not only man
ly but statesmanlike. The country has
too long been fighting over again the
issues settled by the war instead of bury
ing them with the dead Of that fratricidal
struggle. When the past Is entirely for
gotten, and only then, will there be per-
feet accord between North and South and
q return of that prosperity which only
peace and unity can quicken and create.
1t is for these reasons that we say with
Governor Tilden, let bygones be bygones

most atrocious system of government

A CARD.

Mr.. EDIToR-I understand that there is a
rumor in circulation that Rev. G. w. Single>
ton came to me on Saturday the 9th inst, and
asked to be put upon the Republican ticket,
for the Office of School Commissioner. will
simply state that O. W. Singleton never inti-
mated anything of the kind to me, neither do
l think he ever thought Of any such thing,
from the fact that he had heard me say that
did not believe there was any man in the
County foolish enough to offer himself as a
candidate on the Republican ticket, and if
there should be, would not support him, as
there would not be any CountyIticket by the
Republicans. Respectfully,
AL0Nzo NJ. FoLdRR.

"Silently came black boat DER the bllows.
Stealthily grated the keel on the sand,
Rustling footsteps were heard through the
willows,
Then the dark boatman stood waving his

Whispering, come over the ehadowy river.

When inexorable death calls upon the verv
young or very old to take voyage across
the dark waters, II is not q matter of aston
ishment, since the grim monster usually
beckons to those ages first. When, however.
he departs from this rule, and lays his icy
fingers upon O man just in the prime Of life.
as in the case of NJ. s. HENDRICKS, we
are inclined to question why God in His grett
mercy did not select victim from the for ner
classes.
He was suddenly attacked on Sunday the
10th, and after much severe suffering, died on
Monday the l1th Of September, 1876. In
him We loose O gallant soldier-who fought
and bled for the "Lost Cause" Society
looses cheerful spirit. Humanity true
friend. Fond parents and loving sisters loose
an nRectionate son and brother.
He leaves many frieuds who deeply regret
his loss. Also, bright little boy about
years Of age, to tread the rugged path of life
alone, his mother having been called hence
about one year ago.

The New York Governorshin.

Some time since the New York Democracy
met in Convention, and nominated Horatic
Seymour for Governor, but he declined to
accept, on the ground of bad health. This
necessitated the re>assembling of the oonven,
tion on the 18th instant, when Lucius j.
Robinson, present Comptroller of the State,
was unanimously nominated for Governor,
and Horatio Seymour was placed at the head
Of the Presidential Electoral ticket. AT
first, the declination of Mr.. Seymour it was
thought, would injure the chances of success
of the party, but the nomination of Mr.. Rob-
inson dissipates all such fears, and the New
York Sun says the nomination will give uni
versal satisfaction, and insure a large Demo
cratic majority in New York in November
New York may now be considered for Tilden
and Hendricks, which insures their election
beyond n doubt.

INTERNATIONALLY bloody shirt flyers have
been inf1aming the Northern mind by horrid
stories of intimidation of colored people by
the whites in the South. We shall anXiously
await the comments of the Northern bloody
shirt journals on the Charleston riot, which
was produced by Radical negroes, intimidat-
ing Democrats of their own color. This is the
only kind o. intimidation in the South. Ne
groes who are disposed to vote with their white
friends are prevented from doing so by their
own color. We have heard that certain yicious
Radical negroes in this section have made
threats against all of cir color who ioined
the Democrats, swearing that they would
hang them, sc. We will here inform them
and every body else interested, that ev-
cry ooiured uuu IN r1cKvns County, Hnu ue
sires to vote the Democratic ticket, shall do it,
and whenever they are molested or nterferred
with, the man who DO so will be held
strictly responsible for it. This is n free
country, and every man is guaranteed The
right to vote rs he pleases.

The Cauapaigu.

Hampton and the other nominees on the
State ticket, are having an ovation wherever
they go. In Greenville, the largest gathering
Of people ever Known in the up country,
greeted them. In Spartanbura, six or seven
thousand persons we're present at the meet
ing, amongst them several hundred colored
voters, who enthusiastically endorsed tho
cause of Reform and home rule, Al like mum.
Der greeted them at Union, where there were
unbounded enthusiasm and great confidence
in success The most gratifying, feature of
oil these meetings il. the, large number ofcol,
ored men who join in the procession, and
boldly declare themselves Democrats. One
half the colOred people in, the State would
vote che Democratic ticket were it not for
intimidation from their own race. But many
OF them are coming out boldly and deRantly
for Democracy, and once the ice is fairly
broken, and they learn that the whites will
protect them, in the full enjoyment of their
political rights, even with life itself rs was
the case in Charleston, thousands of them
will fall into line, and onthe Tth day of No.
vember next, Radicalism will receive such an
overwhelming defeat that it will never dare
raise its head again in South Carolina. Let
the good work, so auspiciously begun, be
pushed vigorously forward, and let every
man, who has the interest of his State at
heart, do his whole duty and make the victory
complete and lasting.
