THE Ne,o Era is publishing cartoons rep
resenting the "bloated bondholders" living
in luxury at the expense of an impoverished
and starving people. Who are these bond
holders? We'll, the ninety thousand deposi-
tors in the Savings Banks of Maine are among
them. The industrious mechanic who has
saved hundred or two dollars during the
year, the halfpaid shop-girl who perhaps has
saved ten, the hard-working school-mistress,
the servant girl,-these are the "bloated
bondholders' who are preying upon the peo-
pie and provoking the bitter indignation of
the Neao Era; upon these mechanics and
shop. girls it is making war.

Mr.. FRYE's comparison of the "disabled
soldiers on the roll of employees of the Dem
ocratic House to Falstaff's ragged recruits
was very happy one. The Democrats seem
to have hunted up men who had lost hand
while foolipg round buzz-saw and TO have
palmed them off upon confding country as
veterans who had been MANNED while fight
ing the battles of the Union. Great is Dem
ocratic pretense.

You Stay Governor.

Governor Hampton on his lato visit
to Andersen, was met at every STA
tion, as our readers know, by great
crowds of people of all colors and con-
dition in lito AT Helena, an old colored
woman strobe in front of the crowd to
q position where sho could command
the ear Of the Governor, in great
earnestncss exclaimed. "You stay,
Governor. Wo's had q better time
since you was made Governor, than
we's had since the war" The expert.
cnoe of this old colorcd woman is,
doubtless, tho experience of every
colorod person in the State, except
those who were connected with the
thioving administrations of. Scott,
Moses and Chamberlain, in the CO.
>pacity Of Office holders. Tho scales
havo evidently fallen from the eyes OF
the colorcd people, and they now see
and realize that their true friends arc
tho native white Democrats. The
days OF carpetbaggery and scalewag-
cry have cffcctually played out in
South Carolina.

Beecher-Tilton Again.

Mrs. Tilton has come out in q letter
acknowledging her criminal inter-
course with Henry Ward Beecher.-
Beecher denies the truth. of Mrs. T's
letter, and asserts that the confession
is only the price of reunion with
her husband. This Beecher-Tilton
affair has become almost scandal to
the whole country, and we trust that
the press of the country will refuse to
publish anything further about it.
Let Beocher and the Tllton's sink
down into obscurity, where we think
tho whole batch Of them belong, and
the good Of society demands.

Mr.. Fl. r. STEvENs-In 1872 your vege-
tine was recommended to me; and, yielding
to the persuasions of q friend, I consented to
try it, A. the time l was suffering from
general debility and nervous prostration,
superinduced by overwork and irregular
habits. Its wonderful strengthening and
curative properties seemed to affect my de-
bilitated system from the first dose; and un-
der its persistent use I rapidly recovered,
gaining more than usual health and good
feeling. Since then ! have not hestated to
give Vcgctinc my most unqualified indorse-
ment as being safe, sure, and powerful
agent in promoting health and restoring the
wasted system to new life and energy. Ve-
getine s the only medicine I use, and as
l live l never expect to find better.

Tho United States House of Repre-.
sentatives, has been heretofore unfor-
tunate in. the selection of it's doors
keeper. The first was only % brag
from Texas, who thought he was a
"bigger man than Grant" The next
was a man from Tennessee, who
though honest, did not havo the men,
tai capacity to discharge his duties.
The House has now selected General
Charles w. Field, of Virginia, to
whome the faithful and intelligent dis
charge of his responsible duties can bo
safely entrusted. Many old Confede-
rates remember General Fields gal
liant Division in the army of North
ern Virginia. He served with dis
tinguishcd ability and bravery through
out the entire war, and after it's olts,
nc secured an honorable position in
the army of the Khedive of Egypt,
and held it as long as he chose.

FOR GOVERNOR
WADE HAMPTON, OF Ricbland.
FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR. a.
JOHNSON HAGOOD. OF Barnwell

We raise to day the standard of the
Straight-out Democracy for the cam
paign of 1878. From one end of the
State to tho other, no name but that
of Hampton is heard for Governor
and we believe no name will be more
proper among the masses of the De-
mocracy for the second place on the
ticket, than that of our distinguished
fellow>citizen, General Johnson Ha-
good. The one predominating char
actoristic of johnson Hagood is thor,
ough. Whatever his hands find to
do, he does it W ith his might, and he
does it we'll. We know it is impor.
tant TO have such mon as he is in the
important Office of Comptroller Gen.
eraI, but be having set that house in
order, others can be found to carry
on the good work, and he can be spar>
cd to take higher place of greater
usefulness, The present occupant of
the office Of Lieutenant Governor of
course could, and Of right would, hold
the field against all comers, for while
the name of Hampton is great in the
land, that of Simpson is like unto it,
honored and beloved of all men. But
Lieutenant Governor Simpson is need
ed in a higher place, one that his
talents, his training, and HIS great
qualities of head and heart fit him for,
that OF Chief Justice. So our ticket
is Ilanpton o,d Uogood, Simpson and
Justice. .,N-ho can beat it?-Barn-

Primary Elections.

Tho system of nominating candi.
dates by primary elections is boing
thoroughly discussed in every county
in tho State. A large majority, it
appears, approve the system, and the
convention plan is likely to he ignored
entirely hereafter. In this County no
other plan is thought Of In our last
campaign, the candidates for the Lo-
gislatmo and County Offices were nos
minated in this way, and tho result
was entire satisfaction we believe. Of
course, some of the candidates are
Obliged to be disappointed, but when
they know that q majority of their
own party prefer some one else, they
can not do otherwise than acquiesce
and support the ticket. There is no
excuse for running as an "independ-
ont" candidate. They can not claim
that their opponents were brought out
by packed convention, and the re-
suit is, we have o unitod Democracy
and march square up to victory
Pickens was the first County to hold
primary elections in the last cams
paign, and is entitled to the honor of
inaugurating the system in the State.
