The Negro Exodus.

Wo have understood that some Of our
colored population have taken up tho idea
that they will be compelled TO full into the
west. 1Wo can hardly conceive how such an
Impression could get up among them. They
arc rs FREQ MS any white citizen of the State.
Their rights Of person and property are rs
well protected by thp law, and whether they
will 60 OF, stay rests with their, own yolition.
They aro the best laborors tho South can get
and with honesty, economy and industry,
they could in q fow ycars own homes and
live comiortablys While this is the case,
should thoy fcelsnclined to seek homes in the
Northwest, we would not object feeling con-,
jfdent that their places would be supplied
by abettcr population and in many cases by
Immigrants who would bring capital with
them.
The great emigration movement Of tho
doubtful States by tho Republicans, and il
has bcon encouraged by circulars promising
them land and provisions rs well as better
political privileges. These arc false promises,
rs many Of fthem have alroady learned to
their sorrow. Tho South in its climate and
productions is better suited to tho raco than
the Northwest. In tho South, too, thoy 'are
among people who have raised them, who
know their nature and disposition and havc
kindly feeling for them. All this will 30
changed in tho West They will be subjected
to severe winters and DO thrown among a
people who neither know nor care for them.
!. recent dispatch from st. Louis stntes
that seventeen hundred colorcd refugees
have arrived ip Wyandpt.o, Kansas, in nm
entirely destitute condition and are ocoupy-
ing tho churches and public halls Of that
place, many of them sick from exposure and
dying. Tho Mayor Of Kansas City telo-
graphed tho Secretary Of War for an order
for the issue Of rations from Fort leayenn
worth, which was refused on tho ground that
there was no authority for it. Tho samo
diepatch states That largo number Of others
arc on tho way. m...,...
The condition Of these miagnided pooplo
Is truly pitablo, boing among strange
people, without provisions, money, cr even q
roofto shelter, them. We hayo little doubt
but II they wero back at their old homes they
would not again be induced to leave. Thoy
enjoy tho same rights, civil and political, here
thoy could, have at tho North, and aro as
fully projected by the. law. 1t is therefore

1880.

Who will be the next Demo ocratic candidate
for President is being agitated extensively by
the Northern press. 1t is gencralIy conceded
that Gen. Grant will rcceivo the Republican
nomination, if he will aooapt it, both because
no is regarded the man most likely to consola
idate the party. and also to draw to his sup
port the monied interests of the country. If
nominated, with these e.e.nents of support
he will be difficult to defeat for The day has
comein this country whom tho in6aonoe Of
capital on elections is almost certain to insure
success. On tho side Of the Democrats
Tilden, Hendricks, Thurman aud Bayard are
most prominent OF those Coy. Perry, in n
recent letter, faSors Thurman, though he
the great question for tho Democrats to solve
is, who is the most available man2 Whether
it is either of these Or some person as yet
unknown to fame aud not spoken of, he
should be selected. Success is what wo want
and what the country requires to enable us to
work out true harmony aud reconciliation.
lie does net think the financial question
should entor into the campaign, but can this
be avoided2 Capital is power and it will
be heard and will demand to- know tho views
of each party on this question. In tho last
election Tildon received n majority Of several
hundred thousand yotos in tho United States
and on fair count majority Of the electoral
college, but ho was arbitrated out Of office
and Mr.. Hayes declared elected. Whether
any fault rests with Tilden or not, this failure
will operate against his chance for tho nomi-
nation, and it may be that after number of
ballots some person not heard of will be taken
.upaud nominated. There can bo no question
but the campaign Of 1880 will bo the most
excited one ever had in tho United States,
and that the two parties will spare neither
expense nor labor to win success. a3

|msmbsrof tho International Comuaitteo end
sent out by tho sanne to revive and organise
the Associations in different sections of the
South. His roportof tho INTERNATIONAL
and the international Convention at Geneva
was very encouraging. He spoke Of the
varioas number Of languages in which the
Association is now organized mad the numbers
upon Numbers of young men In all parts Of
the world now engaged in this work and the
good rssults OF Bringing many ander the care
of tho church. Mfr. Kreo is fluent talker
and an earnest worker, and with his fine
atore of Bible knowledge no will accomplish
much good. /
The reports frcna the Associations over the
State showed that they are not doad, bnt
generally doing MI active work, not only
among the Young men, but also in bringing the
various denominations of tho church into q
hearcr relation with each other. This is
indeed noticeable result wherever an Asso,
ciation has been actively epgaged The
spirit Of Christian love and fellowship seems
to manifest itselfvery clearly and .causes tho
great work to. go, on in unity and strength.
The report from the, Charleston Association
was the most cheering, especially sinco the
labors there Of Mr.. Watkins. General State
Secretary. An appropriation Of three huns
dred dollars is to be raised for the purpose of
enabling Mr.. Watkins to visit different parts
of tho State. wherever his services may be
desired From the result 50 far of the labors
OF Mr.. Watkins much good may be expected
aud cheering reports Mt the noxt annual c,n.

delegates. Every delegation was met at the
depot by committees and tho wants Of all
properly cared for.

Our Farming Interests.

In our last issue We spoke of tho great
advance mado by our people in agriculture,
in the last ten years, both rs to the modo of
cultivation and the yauc of the products
grown on the farm. While this is apparent,
it is equally clear that more attention should
be paid to the diversity of our crops and to
the importance of making the, farm self-sus.
tanning. So long as our people buy their
corn, bacon and -four from abroad, in iaddi-,
tion to their sugar, coffeo, salt and other
necessary articles, we will find money scarce
and times hard. II tho Western farmers can
raise, fatten and ab;p bacon from fve hon
dred to one thousnndmiles, surely our people
ean, in such a country as this, savo money
by Tuising their own rneat. Yet wo SEQ
ennually thousands of pounds Of Western
bacon brought and sold in this county. The
ono item OF -four carries out of tho county
largo proportion Of the income from other
branches Of agriculture. This year wo find
ourselves scarce of corn, and before tho
season is oyor, We doubt not but large guam
titles will bo sold hero from the West. Corn
is now rating from eiSty-fVe to seventy conts
cash and the supply is small. While this
condition Of things continues, however much
cotton our people may grow, the proceeds of
its sale will pass to other seotions for the
supply Of ouv necessary wants. We would
mot advise against planting cotton, for it, with
us, is the only product which at all periods Of
tho year will command money, and as we
must pay our taxes, buy our groceries and
other necessary artcleo, cotton rs q certain
representative Of money should be planted
We do say, however, that the first aim Of
every farmer should bo to grow wheat, corn
and bacon sufficient to supply his family,
and wherever we find farmer who docs this
We will find him thrifty and successful in
making money. On the contrary, tho farmer
who has to buy all iheeo things will always
be found 10 be without money and tight run.
Wo have heard it, said that ono bushel Of
corn grown on tho farm is worth two, bushels
bought. This, Of course, cannot DO strictly
true, and yet when man grows his .ovn
corn he gathers from tho same land fodder
shncks and peas, which grow with the corn,
80 that the corn grown by person docs 20
farther by reason Of the help from these at-
stendants Of q cern crop. "A great many will
nlso say 81 is cheaper to ibny bacon at eix

The Election Cases.


The trial Of tho Barnwell election conspi-
raoy cases was concluded on the 22d instant,
thejury under Instructions from, dge Bond
returning verdict Of not guilty all the
defendants. Tho defendants were charged
in four ooants, with other persons unknown,
with c!onspjring to prevent Fred Nix aolored,
and other qualified votors from meeting
peaceably for consultation on public 'affaire,
and the 9Th count FOR ,conspirng to injure
and oppress Nix on account of his race and
color from the exercise Of his right to vote ut
a Federal election. On this count no, proof
was offered, and tho other four counts ,wero
held defective in FILLING to nlege tho act was
done on account Of race aud color. Judge
Bond held tho information insufficient md
directed an acquittal. The District Attorney
thereupon moved continuance of oil the
other cases to the November Term as ncces.
sity 10 save enormous expense to the Govern!
mebt. and further because SO muoh Of tho
tern, bad been consumed already inl dilatory
motions andthe trnls had, that to go on'with
these cnses would prevent the hea,ing ofa
number of important civil cases. Tho mo-
tion vas granted and the cases continued to
November. 1t is. thought by many this
action means an abandonment Of tho prose
cutions, and that the cases will never be
tried. vs.,.
The case ofitae rule against the Secretary
Of State for refusing to obey the subpoena
duces tecum and bring from his Office the
original pollFlsts, was taken up. Mr.. Bar.
kcr, for the Secretary, hadofilcd return to
tho rule, setting forth that the papers asked
for are required by a law OF tho State to be
keptin the Office at Columbia. aud he argued
that by statute certified copies Of such papers
should be furnished III suoh cases. which
should serse MS originuls The District
Attorney claimed that the originals were
necessary, us thoy were to be used to provo
handwriting. Tho court ruled tho return
insufficient: md that It Ind the power to
compel the production Of tho original records,
but that the rule had been defco!iso in fail
ing to notify the Secretary Of the State that
the originals and not copies were required.
On amending tho rule, the ordcr compelling
tie production Of the poll lists would be
granted. .:. fm .#
In the case of Wm. Kcrrigan convicted Of
assaplting marshal while on duty, tho sem
tence of the court was fno Of five dollars
and the costs of tho prosecution. The same
sentence was imposed on colorcd man cons
victed Of voting twice. These wero the only
cases in which convictions were obtained, md
tho sentences were light n 'a
s We can see no gdod iii reviving and kcep-
ing alive the bitter feeling growing out Of
tho 'lato elections. There may have been
irregularities on both sides In some places,
but had they better not be let alone for tho
sake of peaco and amity. We trust these
prosecutions will all be discontinued and that
actual reconciliation will be begun.
