I ou kh9m now desperate was thc}strUggic be-
fore the last fight. do not come now 10 lull
you into q false security. l do not say to you
that you have everything your own way, and
have but to nominate your candidates. i say
that believe this campaign is Jrdu9M wiM al
most equal danger as The last. We had then an
open fight to make. We had an organized and
disciplined foe to encounter in the field. z,We
knew just what~we hsdste expect; ahd every
man worked as though the destiny of the State
depended upon his own individual resourccs.A
All this is changed. My opinion is that the
Republican Convention did not nominate State
ticket last week because they knew that if they
did we would have every man in the State ral-
lying to our standard, and we would gain VIC
tory grandcr than the last.
THE RADICAL CONVENTION.
Not having the manliness 10 endorse the adj
ministraiion ofthe last two years-though many
Of them had been sent TO Columbia with instruc
lions to do so, and Though many had told me
they desired to do so-thcy have endeavorcd to
make political capital for the Northern Radicals
ty cnunciatinS platform false as false can
be. They charge that they have not put tick.
ct in the field, because they could not do that
without personal danger, and they passed that
resolution in the capitol of South Carolina,
within hearing Of the Executive of the State,
and when they had entire control of the State
House, placed .ia,their haAds bX the- Democracy
Of South Carolina FOR the, purposes Of making
such nominations. They did not place q ticket
in the field because they knew 1t would meet
with certain defeat; and I warn you now that
this course has been pursued las warned mem
bcrs Of the Legislature months ago that it would
lie pursued) for the purpose of devoting their
every energy TO controlling the ensuing Legis-
lature. They have not put ticket in the field,
but tell you that in every county where they
ihink they have shadow of chance of success
they will make n determined fight for the Leg
islature.

The Yellow Fever.

The Yellow Fever.
We are unable 10 give our readers even an
approximate idea of the terrible havoc the yell
low fever is making oil along the Mississippi
Valley. The reports we received by last nights
mail are truly distressing. The town ofSGren-
ada, Miss, is almost depopulatsd. One writer
says, "to enter the place is death, and nothing
moro than dash at 1t, glance from safe dis
tance. can be undertaken by any one not tired
Of life." A funeral hes passed every hour since
last Monday. No one darcs to leave the town
aud no one will enter II. And still the dread
seourge is spreading. On Tuesday 1876 new ca,
ses and Al deaths were reported In New Orleans.
Nurses AMI Doctors are stricken down. Money
and provisions are earnestly called for.

The A66epiklP Iress and Banner. thinks that if
the United States officers had R(h lsft TO their
own devices at Greenville, withoaethe'help Of
tho keys of the Jail, the country would have
sr27g with the AnnQupcement Of the contumacy

have rung with the announcement that Feder-
al officers had broken into State prison, and
taken out, by force, prisoners held for trial fof
murder under the finding Of Grand Jury
stake, and this State, we think, had the oppors
'unity to make the whole people understand the
consequences of the authority claimed by tho
United States. The Press end Banner does not
appreciate the magnitude of the question, and
seems timid, to boot.---NeWs and Courier. 81 !.

Com munications withheld.

We have received two communications for
publication this Week attacking parties who will
be before the Convention next Monday as Cam
dates. We have withheld these communications
for the simple reason that their publication at
iksfafEo be- "a act of injustice, "a u x0ull
give the parties no opportunity to reply to the
charges made against them. Our aim is to do
what we believe to be strictly just to oil, with
out considering friend or foe in the matter,

Important Decision.

Important Decision.
Judge Kershaw has filed judgement In the
Office Of our Clerk of Court, holding tho Act Of
March 10, 1872, entitled "An Act for the relief
of the widows and orphans of persons killed
because Of their political opinions" better
known as the kuklux pension tax act-to be
unconstitutional, null and void, as violating the
provisions of Sect. H. Art. 1, and section and
3 Of Art. TX, Of our State Constitution, and Sec
tion 10, Article Of tho Constitution Of the Uni-
ted States.
A like decision six years ago would have
saved Union County, seven 10 eight thousand
dollars.

THE NEW YORK CANALs.-Governo Ho-
RI ito Seymour calls attention to the fact that
the increase il canal-freights last year was
ls.0Oo.O00 pounds over the previous year,
while the bulk Of railway freights did not in
crease. He adds that, having had an extern
sive correspondence with western merchants
and shippers, he ascertaincd that an impress
sion prevails among them that the State is
about TO abandon its canal system, and that
they therefore deemed it prudentto be on TIE
lookout for such combinations with the rail-
way companies as must be for their inter-
csts. They had consequently neglected to
ship by canal as much as they otherwise
might have done. He is OF opinion that
.'thc canals are to continue chief, ii not the
chief, source of prosperity OF the State !;
and he has no doubt that when the false i'm
preston is removed from the western mind
there will be large and rapid increase OF
freight from that direction.
