EDITORIAL NOTES.

the House of Representatives, died at
Rockbridge Alum Springs, va, on the
10Th inst, after long and severe suffering.
He was good man, an able lawyer, a
pure and upright statesman, who had the
confidence and respect of all parties
His death is loss to the nation.
The Columbia Register states that it
hears that Judge Mackey has announced
fatty that he intends to support Hamp-
ton for Governor. If true, it will show
him to possess more patriotism than many
persons have creditedto him. There is
still room for a few more Republicans to
come over. ;, We will welcome them as
returning prodigals, provided they are in
earnest. - - H.'. - -;
Gov. Chamberlain meets cool comfort
everywhere. At Newberry and2 Edge
field he was fairly Hayed alive by the
Democrats, and at ,Orangeburg the col.
ored people informed him that they did
not care to hear him speak. He is in
need of all the comfort he can derive from
the praises of his own paper Before
this campaign is over he will learn that
"the way of the transgressor is hard"
The outrage mill must be kept running,
and to furnish little gristforit Sherman.
has ordered a company of United States
troops from Atlanta to Edgefeld. Let
them come. The officers are gentlemen,
a and the soldiers :, are white men. They
will help US to get, what we want--a
.peaceable election. They will also help
US to elect Tilden!a Hendricks, for the
people of the North are tired Of Federal
interference in Southern affairs. =.
There is food for. the reflection of the
Republicans in the fact that there never
has been "a President elected efrom the
party opposed to the politics Of the
Speaker Of the House Of REPRESENTATIVES
elected next before, the Presidential elec-
ton. e; Hon. M!hrCyuKerr,s the present
is a Democrat? Unless the
,piireessedsnts Of the past are overcome, a.
Democrat will be :theo next. Presidenti;-
OF, in, other words, Tilden and Hendricks
arelto be the winning men. o'''
:, The Unions Herald sorrowfully admits
that atithings look blue for the Republicans
in tits State. and says that the position
o'f the party is the reverse, Of reassuriug.
Itieomplains of the Republican leaders,
aud, charges that they have sounded the
retreat before the. battle was begun. We
expect nothing, Instrumentation and vail
ing from the Republican press of South
Carolina. They see the writing upon the
wall, and are preparing to die with their
infamous party in November.
The Usion-Rerau objects to division
of time with the, Democrats at public
meetings. IT. knows its speakers cannot
meet the truth and:force of the Demo
cratic speakers, and prefers toi condnet
the canvass On the old one sided lying
fashion, 4 IT wishes to send its speakers
out to yillify- and traduce the whitessso
that theytcan. can have it'all their own
way; This has; however, played out, and
we are determined to have "a fair and
equal hearing at. all their meetings they
can9haye ethe: same at ours. IT, may be
disagreeable to them, but the Union
Herald had as we'll learn that its pleasure
will not control this canvass. It issome-
body. else's turn to be pleased now.oi This
little pSoyocation will only train the Re
pablicans to fortitnde to sustain diefeatin' !

The President, through the Secretary
Of War has issued an order to General
Sherman to keep all the troops not used
in fighting the Indians in readiness to be
Used for preserving order in the States
where there is likely to, be disturbance.
The cause assigned for this order is the
resolution oof the House of Representa-
tives, demanding that criminals be pun
ished for political offences. This is a
great stretch of Interpretation. Because
the House demands that the laws be exc
cuted is no reason for the President to
talk about sending troops until they are
called for. Poor Republicans They
are catching at straws, and any excuse.is
better than none. If the, President
wishes to send troops here we do not
object for We believe they can help us
to carry the election. 1t will certainly
help to elect Tilden and, Hendricks.
The tidal wave is coming, and Grants
puny: hand has become so .palsied by
corruption that it cannot check the flood
Of popular Indignation. The country
will purge itself Of the thieves this. year,
and elect Tilden and Hendricks in the
United States. and Hampton in South
Carolina. .!ai946li naHl l:.d" - IN !

Agricultural Implements" The guns
we're muskets of the State, aud the box
contained sixteen muskets and two hun
dred rounds of ammunition. On their
arrival at Newberry, the negro who
claimed to be "H. Bailey" called for the
box, and, upon being questioned, said that
it contained shoemakers' tools, and that
he made no other claim than for them.
