The Democratic party is guilty of no
un1airncss i'll the recent Investigations,
and the speech of Mr.. Cochran. IL
Republican and member of the
committee, proves it to be true.
The true reason why they did not
put out a State ticket is that very
large number Of our colored citizens
see the good results of Hampton $
administration and will vote for him
against any carpet-bagger or scala-
wag the Radicals can put in the field,
and this tho leaders know to be true.
The rifle clubs are all nonsense and
all the cunningly devised schemes
Radical leaders can produce will
never turn South Carolina or even
Orangeburg County over into their
band. The Democracy, white and
co lored don't mean it.

Colored representation

In our issue of the 10th instant we
made q suggestion concerning the
manner of obtaining colorcd candi-
dates, the substance Of which has
been cmbodi ed in 4 resolution passed
by tho Executive Committee at their
last nee ting and published last week.
This resolution meets :thc objection
we have heard urged by cplorcd cit
izcns and fixes the matter beyond Il
doubt. There can be no reasonable
grounds now for the colorc;l people
to entertain II fear upon this point.
They most assurcdly will occupy
positions upon the Democratic ticket
and it rests with them to say who anl
how many they will nominate, rs
representation will be in proportion
TO the number o!' culorcd persons en-
rolled.
We hope to see Il large number cut
themselves loose from leaders, who
have no interest in common with
theirs and no use for colorcd man
save tc ride into office upon his vote
and unite themselves with their nat
ural friends and neighbors; and to-
gcthcr let us work out our common
destiny and common prosperity.
We believe this to be Il fair and
honorable plan Of adjusting the diff
Guilty, and as such recommend it fn.
their consideration oy the party.

pleasure this opportunity of award
ing to him that lust meed of praise,
which faithful, efficient, and cour-
tcous discharge of the dutios of that
important office, has commanded
even from his political opponents.
Although school claims for services
rendered during both years of Hamp.

oo cents on the dollar, it is my candid
and honest conviction that when
there is money i'll the Treasury 70

no more favor or consideration than
the humblest school teacher in the
County.

E. A. Webster.

In ou "nmcnts on the Radical
Ring Convention in last issue we
wrote Mr.. Webster rs saying "not
a school teacher had been paid du
ring Gov. Hamptons administra.
ton" This editorial was basel up.
on the notes taken By our reporter
who was cautious to take only facts
and the words of the speakers rs near
ly as possible. Let this bo as it NAV !,
we have granted Mr.. Webster th Q
use of our columns to make the cor.
rection due him. The reader will
notice that "the schoot teachers of this
ce""W had not been pail IN fuU for ser.
0ices rendered during Nny,tom's admin
ttrdtion' nre the words Mr.. Web.
ster acknowledges to have used on
that occasion; he will also notice in
MIR. Copcs' article in the paragraph
above the last, he says that every
teacher i'll School District Nos. 5, IS
aud % we're paid IN .tM by him and
that i'll District No 5 there is a sur.
plus ofs35.S2. This was for services
rendered during Hnmp tone admins
tration.
MIR. Copes Nrote his articl officialo
~ and it proves conclusivcly that
the expression Mr.. Webster acknowl.
edges is an unwnrrantable rs that
given by our reporter. Not only wero
the teachers in som Of tho School
Districts paid i'll full but Mr.. w eb-
ster himself was paid in fiji out of
money collected during Ham pton's
administration.
The only reasonable constru ction
we can place upon his words is tha,
he used them for II purpose ana that
purpose was to impose upon the ere.

Austrian Affairs.

The Berlin Congress in dividing
out Turkey to hungry Europe, gave
Bosnia over to Austria. This ar
rangement does not exactly suit and
her people are rising up everywhere o
resist the Austrian advance to occupy
the country. The excitement is
spreading over in Herzegovina and
causes considerable uncasiness in
Scrva. Great bitterness seems to he
manifest and it is thought that
Austria can only occupy and rule
Bosnia by large force and complete
subjugation. The will of the people
in Europe, and particularly a small
province, is of little consequence to
the ruler Of Eastern Europe.

English capitalists, bald the road
through New Georgia to the point
where the Youcan River runs into
Alaska; and then through Alaska to
Cnpo Prince Of Wales, on Behring's
Straits; then let Russia, or tie comp
any, composed of the capitalists of
the Old and New World, construct
the road from East Cape, or Behr-

fists talk about tunncling the Atlan-
tic Ocean, and thus running rail
road from America to Europe; but,
sir, that is 81 castle in the air." |
believe this road will yet be built from
Washington to St. Petersburg by the
way of Behring's Straits. The engi-
neering skill Of America and Europe
will, like faith, remove Mountains,
ice and snow. 1t is unconqucrsble,
and, in my opinion, there is no doubt
ofits sway.
l propose that the road start on th .
Asiatic side at East Cape, nearest tc
America, and run east around the
head of the Gulfof Anadir, thence
by Anadirst or the Anadir River to
Workman, to Gust Viilinisk, to No
veselorgsh, to Karimsharsky, to Sos
