1t is very common remark among

recent elections, are gotten up by Repub-
licans for party purposes. That they are
Radical lies having no more foundation in
fact than simila. statements relative to any
other part of the country would have. Un-
fortunately. however, for the assertions of
the Democracy, the correspondent Of the
N. Y. Tribune, who has been visiting por.
tons Of the South since the election, has
brought to light some very important tes-
timony, the witness being no less a person.
age than Hon. J. L. Campbell Of Charles
ton. S. c., who is Democrat and Was .
member of the last Legislature:
In the first place, he states thst $500 Re-
publicans in Charleston county were pre-
vented from voting because the voting
places were abolished by the Legislature
on two islands and one negro parish, and by
the obstruction Of the box containing 700
Republican voteA. "In Ward 3, Charles
ton, the managers" said Mr.. Campbell,
returned $500 votes as being cast in two
precincts-nearly 5000 at one, and 1900 at
the other. Now the polls were open only
720 minutes, and every voter has to be
sworn and often questioned by the man.
ayers. which of course consumes consider
able time. 1t requires no reasoning to
prove that it was impossible tor 5000 votes
TO be cast in 40 minutes, or even 1900
But that is not all. spent an hour on the
opposite side of the street from one Of
these polling places and saw very few men
going 10 to vote. Sometimes the place was
empty for twenty minutes at n time"
Mr.. Campbell was reluctant TO give this
testimony because he has some concern
about the good name of the Democracy,
but it is intimated that he will give Demo-
cratic papers q good many more facts If

The National Democra attic papers are
urging the members Of that wing of the
Democratic party to do something in Au-
gusta this winter that will be worthy of
the principles of their supporters, and as
the cry for Reform only ELECTS a wink and a
trenchment. While all necessary retrench-
ment should receive the undivided support
of every good citizen, that form Of retrench-
ment which aims At lowering the standard
Of morals or intelligence is injurious in
the extreme and will be found at the last
to have been very poor economy. So with
the retrenchment as proposed by the Ma
tional Democratic press in Maine. Nstur-
ally, they regard our present School sys
TEN as bar to the advancement of their
principles. In this they are undoubtedly
correct. II is not surprising therefore that
they should clamor for a wholesale cutting
down of the expenses OF our public schools
Inclined, as they are. to regard the educa-
ton OF the masses with suspicion, we may
expect to find them doing all in their pow
er to cripple the fine system of education
now in force in this State. The mill tax
