amount due us came back. Turn out th'
thieves and elect honest Democrats wht
can and will reform these things.
We want to see the. right men in th'
right places. Honest men should be pu
into our Offices, and thieves should b.
sent to the Penitentiary. The presen
Republican leaders in South Carolins
have shown either in the present or tht
past that they are dishonest, and there
fore they should be turned out, and s
party with honest leaders should assume
control. Until the Republicans can i'm
peach the character of Hampton, or some
one man on his ticket, they should blush
to put forth crew of thieving plunder'
ers to oppose his ticket. Every mar
must decide this fall between honor anG
infamy, honesty and corruption, capacity
and ignorance. Those who wish to re-
deem the State and secure prosperity fol
themselves and posterity, will vote fol
Hampton and his ticket.
The Republican party of the United
States is in a deplorable condition.
Speakers even have to be sent to Maine
to prevent, if possible, State which has
been so universally Republican from
going for the Democrats in this election,
The army Of $4,000 Office holders of the
Union is not considered strong enough to
decide this contest, but armed men are
needed in the South to try to force o
Republican majority in this section by
overaweing our people. The government
cannot spare more than 5000 men to
fight the Sioux Indians, but has plenty
of them to use in subverting the sovcr-
eighty of Independent and free, States.
Republicanism has brought us to the
verge of ruin, and now endeavors to con-
tinue its hold upon the government by
power. Fortunately for constitutional
liberty, the day of deliveraiee is near at
hand. sa
The present Senate of the United
States consists of seventy-four members,
and is under the control of the Republi-
can party as its vote stands Republi.
cans, AZ; Democrats, 90; Independents,
8. The next Senate will have seventy
six members, of which twenty-nine will
have to be elected this fall. If, there
fore, the Democrats can retain their
present places and elect ten new Sena-
tors, they will have a majority in the
Senate, or if they elect nine new mem
bers and the vice president, they will
have control of this body. South Caro-.
lima must do her part towards this desi-
rable result by eIecting q Democratic
Senator, and giving her vote for Tilden
and Hendricks. The result of securing
the Senate will be Democratic Con-
gress, which is equivalent to national
reformation. 40 =, 81. r
The New York Tines in 1871 spoke
thus of Gov. Tilden: "Yote for Samuel
j.; Tilden. The voters of the Eighteenth
Assembly District ought to esteem it an
honor and privilege to elect Samuel J.
Nlden to the Legislature. He has shown
himself gallant, conscientious, efficient
foe to corruption. We appeal to every
Republican to work and vote for him,
and do so the more cheerfully-as we
make this appeal-because he is an hon
est Democrat" His record has moi
changed since that time, and hence the
abuses of Gov. Tilden in the Times du.
ring this campaign cannot have any
weight with honest and intelligent men
1t only condemns the New York Gov.
ernor to suit its own partisan purposes
The people of the United States intend
to show their appreciation of his charac'
ter by eleyating him to the Presidency
The Republican State Convention has
been called to meet in Columbia on the
twelfth day of September. Gov. Cham.
berlain is compelled under the law tc
make his appointment Of commissioners
of election before that time, and they
cannot be changed before the election
It s currently reported that Elliott, the
President of the body, did not convene
it sooner, because he desired to force the
Governor to make his appointments be-
fore the meeting. He is fighting Cham.
berlain, and has made this delay to injure
him. Indeed, it is generally thought thai
Elliott will be formidable candidate
for the nomination before the Convention
for Governor, and, as might be expected
he is managing the interests of his party
to suit his own individual aspirations
When the Convention meets we may ex
pect entertaining accounts of the way
the Republicans conduct political deib
erative bodies.
We learn that Solicitor A. Blythe, wht
is candidate for reelection, and WHIT
has declared for Hayes and Wheeler il

Office of Solicitor considered a politica
one. He is sure to receive the Republi

out of politics, thinks his chances fol

Cothran, of Abbeville, the Democratic
nominee for the position, is an able law

Democrat should vote for him. feeling
that he will make an excellent Solicitor
