Coy. 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. DO read, and care.
fully reads too, by al Southern Democrats.
The Governor admonishcd his people 10
stand. by their promises Of 1876, and he told
them plainly that he at least means to do co.
The OCCASION of his admohition appears to.
have been proposition by the Barnweil,
Democrats to reject tho votes of oolored
Democrats at their primary meetings. They
appear to. have Bourbons in BarnweiD who
are silly enough to think they can fihgs
away the negro voters, or at least allow
them no share in preliminaries of an cleo
ton, the nomination of candidates; aud
! there appears to havo been. some rascallv
talk, besides, Of "counting 10 anybody We
pieased"-of succeeding by fraud in the
fall elections, that is to say. 81.
The people Of South Carolina, white and
black, are fortunate in tho possession Of
man like Governor Hampton, who is not
only just and honorable himself, but hos the
courage to tell HIS people the truth. Ho 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
clectiops, that they stall end tbemsolvesS
flung back into the woful condition from
which the wisdom and, courage Of Governor
Hampton and those who stood BY him rc-
souod them. We are sorry to think that
such suggestions as Governor Hampton
alludcs to in his admirable address could be-
for moment tolerated anywhere in the
State; but it is pleasing to see that his stern
rebnko of them and his repeated and reite-.
rated assertion that he and those who were
chosen to the State offices with him mean
to redeem to the last iota every promise
mado to the blacks, were received with re..i
peated and continued applause. It belongs
to the honest and honorable citizens of Sonth
Carolina to stand by these pledges and TO
put down eTery sascally attempt to violate
or evade them. The honorable famo ,oE
their State is at stake in this matter. But
this is not all; they may rest assured that
any attempt to prevent tho blacks from
voting, or from having their votes honestly
counted, or to treat them in any wav M.
justly, will be carried all over the Northern
States, and will surely bring back anoot,

EATING TOO MUCH.

"Nobcdy ever repented of eating too

tiemaa on the verge OF ninety, next to

eating too much, more than our digestive
organs can tackle, and that which is not

system becomes Overcharged, and gives

every facility for developing itself. The
question is not 30 much what to eat as what
quantity to eat, and nothing but a sharp
lookout kept by ourselves can give US an

IRISH STATISTICS.

From the usual quarterly return of

the wet, cod weather Causing number
of diseases urusual for the June quarter.
Measles and whOOping cough, especially
the former, prevailed in many places, and
although neither disease wes of a maig-
nabt nature. still, owing to the lung com
plicatious, the mortality from both causes
was very heavy among the badly housed
and ill protected poorer claesee. The
death frem fever were also more numer-
ous than IN many previous quarters, while
small Fox was general and fatal IN Dub.
iiD. and caused d few deaths in other parts
of the country. Some of the Registrars
reporis point to grave neglect of sanitary
precautions in many parts of the country.
On the other hand, considerable sanitary
improvements are reported from many
districts, and notably from Belfast.
According to the returns obtained by the
Royal Irish Conttabulsry and the Metro
politan Police. who acted rs enumerators

II 92S less thaa the average number in
the corresponding period of the ten years,

The avera &c price OF 4 lb loaf during
the second quarter of 1873 was 8 d., when
was also the price in the correepondinc
quarter of 1877. In the second quarter of

BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER.
THE PECULIAR CONTEST IN THE l7TH NEW
YORK DISTRICT.

Trou, Oct. IG.-W. A. Wood is the
Democratic candidate for Congress in this
district, which comprises Rensselaer, ana
Washington counties. w. A. Wood is also
the candidate of the Republicans for the
same c fiji ,e. They are brothers, and both
are manufacturers of respiOg aud moving
machines. Gee in William Anson Wood
aud the other ia Walter Abbot Wood. A
further dis; iugu shing difference is that the
latter is Sir Walter A. Wood, having ro-
ceived the Imperial Cross of the Legion of
Honor from Louis Napoleon and the Cross
of the Imperial Order of Franz Joseph
from the Emperor Of Austria. These hon
ors were intended to show that royalty
smiled on him as an inventor. No greater
mistake could be made than to infer that
the canvas is quiet, pleasant famiy affair.
That the Wood brothers are bitter enemies
is the reason why they are opposing candi-
dates. Sir Walter was nominated first,
defeating Congressman Martin I. Townsend
in the republican Convention. The Dam
ocrsts in their later convention bslloted
several times without a choice. Then
son of William A. Wood arrived with the
authoritative information that his father
would go into tue contest, and the Domina-
ton was Immediately made. In the mean
time Sir Walter, who ia 10 Europe, had
telegraphed his acceptance of the Republ-
can candidacy. Thus the brothers enter
ed upon fight that will surely be a live
~ one. 1t ia uprerstood that b.'th will
contribute liberaily to the compaign fund.
Sir Walter will start for home to morrow;
but the cDst of the campaign for him has
already been tiGnred ouo by obliging poll
t!ciaoe at $50, ,G00. The company of which
he is president made 26 .00O rcaping AID
moving machines last Year, aud these fig
ures indicate his ability to give as much
as he wants to. Ia his absence his busi
ness associates are doing all that ie neces-
sary in his interest. William is President
of q yeapgef, bat aeafisitihg, rival COM
pany, and his eageroess for the fray is
construed to mean ,has he will not let ex-
pense stand in the way of defeating his
hated brot ber. He Las that experienced
politician, James S. Thayer, his business
partner, for an adviser.
