district is an advantage to the few men who
control that organization but it is a
curse to the people, because such
an organization, having no opposition,
soon becomes corrupt and falls into the
hands of designing men. But even us
a matter of mere party expediency the
Southern democrats ought to welcome tho
independenr movement this fall. 1t does
not follow that independent candidates will
be elected wherever they are nominated.
But as two parties are inevitable it is far
more for the true interests of the Southern
people that both parties shall contain and
be controlled by citizens OF good character
than that they shall fall back to the former
system in which ono party was led by
vicious and corrupt men with no interests
in the States they sought to control. More
over, Southern democrats should remember
that the cry of ''solid South" has still
power over the minds of Northern voters,
and that it is certain to be raised by the re-
publicans in 1880 if they have plausible
pretext for it.
The rise of n vigorous independent
~
pears to us, therefore, on all accounts an
event TO be welcomed by the country, as
beneficial not only to the Southern commu-
mites, but to the country at large. 1t will
do much to fix the policy of both the ma
tional parties in 1880 and compel them to
announce real questions and abandon the
old and dangerous sectional issues The
Southern Independents would, two years
hence, naturally cooperate with the repub-
licans; but they would do 80 only on the
condition that the Northern republican
party should meanwhile throw overheard
the carpet-baggers, cease to claim the negro
vote, and make the republican truly ma
tional party, with platform of principles
acceptable to many good citizens in every

Pennsylvania is attaining an unenviable
place in the annals OF rioting, and the law
less influence seems extending to its re-
ligious exercises Precisely what offence
against the Catholic canons it was that in

Strupinski from his pastorate over the Poles

correspondent describes it generally as con-
juring or sorcery accompanied by the work.
ing Of miracles. Fortunately we are not
called upon to discuss this interesting point,
but to proceed with the state of things
that followed his removal. To him sue
ceeded Rev. Alexander Lanarkovich. Now
the flock boasted the luxury of two sets of
Poles, one of which only understands the
Polish and the other only the Lithuanian
language. While the miracle-working
Strupinski could preach to both, the less
miraculous Lanarkovich could only make
himself understood by the Poles proper.
Great discomfort among the Lifts Here
they were pining for the words of salvation,
and while the regular Poles drank in the
good tidings the benighted Lifts sat athirst
and unslaked. Then, it appears, arose George
Muscovitch and Andrew Marousky and
Peter Cutcavitch and asked fve hundred
fellow-Litts if they hadn't got souls to be
saved? They believed they had. Then,
urged somebody, they must drive off the
uni-lingual Lanarkovich and get in q BIZ
lingual ski or witch, as the case might be.

his sermon from manuscript-a most unusual
occurrence with the great Plymouth preacher.
His subject was "Weariness in Well Doing"
feeling he declared to be MS old as the apostles.
DIR. Hepworth's pulpit was occupied by the
Rev. Mr. Matthew Hale Smith, who discussed
"Religion aud Infidelity." The Rev. Mr.. Hall
pointed out the difference between the ways of
God and the ways of man; at st. Pauls Roman
Catholic Church the Rev. Mr.. Mcclure enlarged
upon the duties of pareuts, particularly during
this vacation season; the Rev. Mr.. Sweetser
considered the Eternal Presence of Christ"

Gov.rnor H.mp,on'. Good Advice.

Governor Hampton's Good Advice.
Wade Hampton's speech on the Fourth
of July to the people of Barnwell county
was in fact addressed to the people Of all
South Carolina, and deserves to be read,
and carefully read, too, by all Southern
democrats. The Governor admonished bis
people tOstandiby their promises Of 1876,
and she told thenI nplginly that he at least
msans to dc sorfefa4e occasion of his adj
monition appears to- have been q PROPOSE
ton by the Barnwell democrats to reject
the votes of colored democrats at their
primary meetings. They appear to have
Bourbons in Barnwell who are silly enough
to think they can fling away the negro
voters, or at least allow them no share in
the preliminaries Of an election, the nomi-
nation of candidates and there appears to
have been some rascally talk, besides, Of
counting in anybody we pleased"-of sue
ceeding by fraud in the fall elections, that
is to say.
The people of South Carolina, white and
black, are fortunate in the possession of q
man like Governor Hampton, who is not
only just and honorable himself, but has the
courage to tell his people the truth. He
is perfectly right in what he told them.
South Carolina is on her trial, and it is
quite possible, if her people permit the
baser sort Of politicians to control the elec-
tions, that they shall ind themselves flung
back into the woful condition from which
the wisdom and courage of Governor Hamp-
ton and those who stood by him rescued
them. We are sorry to think that such
suggestions as Governor Hampton alludes
to in his admirable address could be
for moment tolerated anywhere in
the State !; but it is pleasing to see
that his stern rebuke of them and
his repeated and reiterated assertion
that he and those who were chosen to the
State offices with him mean to redeem to
the last iota every promise made to the
blacks, were received with repeated and
continued applause 1t belongs to the
honest and honorable citizens of South
Carolina to stand by those pledges and to
put down every rascally attempt to violate
or evade them. The honorable fame of
their State is ut stake in this matter. But
this is not all; they may rest assured that
any attempt to prevent the blacks from vot-
ing, or from having their votes honestly
counted, or to treat them many way un-
Justly, will be carried all over the Northern
States, and will surely bring back upon
them the plague of misrule from which
they have but lately escaped.

have made the Henley course perfectly fair.
When England learns, as we have, that the
only absolutely fair course is one where
either there is no current or it is exactly alike
for all, and where the lane of each crew is
exactly as long as those of the others, she
will have fair courses. even though she goes
to the lakes for them, as we do, she will get
rid of her reputation for jockeying. and she
will as gladly bid goodby to washing and
fouling, the principal expedients in that
jockeying, as we in most of our races did
long ago.

Tnx WEATHER The centre OF low pressure
recently in the district of the Northwest has
moved to the Upper Mississippi Valley and the
lake region, with light rains. Cloudiness pre-
walls ina the latter district, with moderate winds
aud general high temperature. Except off
the east coast Of Florida, where dis
turbance has moved from the Gulf, the
Atlantic coast weather is warm aud
fair. The depression of Saturday off New
England has moved eastward, followed by
slightly higher pressures. The barometer has
risen in the West, beyond the Missouri, but the
high pressure viii probably lac exhausted within
= few days. As il is, within all the districts
from the lakes to the Western Gulf and be-
tween the Missouri River and the Allegheny
Mountains the barometer is below the mean.
The temperature has risen in the Eastern,
Middle and Gulf States; elsewhere there has
been slight fall. The weather in New York
and its vicinity to-day will be warm aud fair,
with occasional brief periods of threatening
rioudincss aud possibly showers. Tomorrow
sarn and partly cloudy weather will prevail.
