The Democrats of Maine are in the
contest for State officers this year with
some hope of victory, and are making
the fight upon purely national issues.
The platform favors currency of gold,
silver and paper, the latter to be kept on
"a par with gold at all times, and silver
to be coined without limit, except by the
demands of exchange; it denounces in
reference with elections by means Of
deputy United States marshals hired by
fraudulent Executive to perpetuate his
own power; it approves the efforts OF
the Democrats in Congress to repeal the
outrageous and obnoxious laws which
authorize this interference, and condemns
in strong terms the action of the Repub-
lican leaders in keeping alive sectional
interests and hatred. 1t is strong plat
form, and speaks condemnation OF Messrs.
Blaine, Frye, Hale, Reid and such men
in every sentence, Upon these issues
Gov. Garcelon has been renominated, and
it is not impossible that the Democracy
who obtained the Govsrnorship by acci-
dent last year will be enabled to hold it,
by the vigor and merit of its position at
the present juncture.

The New Orleans City lem shows that
the Radical carpet-baggers piled up over
$4O,G00,0OO ofdebt against that State be-
sides squandering s4O.OOO,OOO of taxes
collected in about ten years of their rule,
and then asks if it is just that the people
should submit to this robbery by assum-
ing the debt as sacred obligation, which
query the Constitutional Convention of
that State has about concluded in the
negative. The proceedings of that party
in this State was about as infamous as
that in Louisiana, though their stealings
were not quite so great, and yet there are
numerous Democrats in South Carolina
who contend that we ought to pay the
so-called debt, without any separation of
tae good from the bad portion of it. The
result, however, is likely to be the same in
both States. The people of South Caro-
lima and of Louisiana are the sovereigns
of their respective States. Their verdict
is that the fraudulent portion of these
pretended debts ought not to be paid,
and as sure as anything in the future can
be, they will not be paid.

Murders afe bsrnminf entirelx to,

Murders ore becphing entirely too
common in F'osth Carolina. Scarcely
week transpires without several of these
atrocious crimes in our little common
wealth, and humanity, as well as the
peace and order of society, demands that
a stop should be put to this shooting or
killing men. We need number of
hangings distributed over the different
parts of the State to convince people
that it is wrong to kill their fellow-men,
and especially to show them if they do
so that Sheriff will in due season break
their guilty necks for the crime. There
is nc palliation for it, becauseit is a very
grave ofense, and very dangerous to
peace and order. The good citizens of
the State who value the reputation of
our government, who desire peace and
order, and who love Justice, should conf
bine to produce such sentiment through
out the State as will secure the conylc-
ton and execution of every murderer.
The sentimentality which frequently Sc
cures for them immunity because jury
is sorry for the family or pities man,
should be dispelIed, and they should be
taught that when they SO far transgress
the law of God and the law of men as to
kill fellow-man, the gallows is their
certain doom. 1t is time for the Press OF
the State to speak out and use its power
full influence to stop the flow of human
blood and loss of life, which occurs en-
tirely too often for our good name or foi
the welfare of our citizens.

General Ewing is preparing for a Wig
orous canvass in Ohio. The first speech
of the campaign was made few nights
ago at Columbus, in which he clearly de-
fined the issues of the coming contest,
and laid down his line of fight. The
main differences are upon the subject of
finance and national Capitalization. Up
on finance he advocates the unlimited
coinage of silver, the abolition of nation
al banks, and the substitution of green
backs for their circulation. On the
question of Capitalization he defined his
position in the following words: II
speak in no spirit of partisanship, but in
the candor of conviction, when Isay that
the obliteration of the reserved rights of
the States and people, and absorption in
the general government of all, regardless
of the constitution, has become the con-
trolling tendency, if not the final aim, of
the Republican party. These policies of
the Republican party, by which they are
impoverishing the masses and absorbing
unlimited power in the general govern
ment, are only steps towards the ultimate
subversion of our popular liberty and the
establishment of the rule of money aris-
tocracy." On these issues it is believed
the Democracy will achieve brilliant
and satisfactory victory, through which
the "Hoosier" State will in large meas
ure shape the course of events for 1880.

HOMICIDE IN BARNwELL.-Wer regret
to say that homicide occurred in the
county on Wednesday, the 25th, on the
plantation of Mr.. o. D. H. Wilson, near
Beldoc. The deceased was Titus Hay, q
colored man, who was killed by Mr.. Will
son. The facts of the case, as we have
gathered them from reliable source, are
as follows: Titus Hay worked on Mr..
Wilson's place; Mr.. Wilson had bad
dogs, kept for the protection of his place
and property; these dogs seemed to be a
source of constant annoyance to Titus
Hay, and the day before the homicide he
had attempted to kill one of the dogs.
Before this, Hay had carried pistol, and
being asked why he did so, said he in
tended to kill Wilson's dogs and him al
so if he resented it. On the next day,
after attempting to kill the dog, Mr..
Wilson met Hay in the field and asked
him about trying to kill his dog. Titus
flew into passion and said he would kill
his'dogs if they interferred with him. Mr..
Wilson told him to leave his plantation,
and Hay replied that he would not unless
he was paid. Mr.. Wilson agreed to pay
him, but the negro said he would not
leave his house until January. Mr..
Wilson told him he would pay him and
that he must leave his place, when Titus
flew at him with pistol in one hand and
hoe in the other, cursing and swearing,
and Mr.. Wilson shot him.-BarnUeN

A SHOCKING AND BLOODY TRAGEDY
IN GEoRGETowN.-A correspondent of
the Charleston MeVs and Courier writing
from Georgetown, s. O., under date of
July /, gives the following particulars of
shocking murder in that town on that
day:
Between the hours of 12 NJ. and l P.
NJ. to-day, this town was suddenly thrown
into an unusual state of excitement, by
the shooting to death of Albert DeLettie,
by one George Smith, who claims to hail
from Fayetteville, N. G. The tragedy
took place in the saloon in rear of Messrs.
Wrede and Lilienthal's store on Front
street. I am informed that the shooting
had its origin simply from practical Jokes
INDUCED in by both of them upon gen.
eral topic. Smith finally came to con-
clusion that DeI,ettie was too personal, a
few harsh words were then exchanged,
when Smith drew his revolver and fred
at DeLettie, who fell 10 the floor in a
doubled up position, the ball having en-
tered his left breast, and penetrated to
the heart. While he was in this condi-
ton Smith fired the second shot, which
entered the skull just above the fore
head. DR.. T. P. Bailey was summoned
and he gave it as his opinion that either
would have caused instant death. Smith
Immediately after committing the deed
fed, running down the street, pursued by
the citizens generally. He was finally
captured by Samuel ]. Oliver and Pheonis
Colt. The death of DeLettie was. now
generally known in town, the excite
ment increasing; the cry of lynching
was raised, and demonstrations to that
effect were made. There were, however,
sufficient number of law abiding citi-
zens to succeed in getting him securely
incarcerated in Jail.
This man Smith is q stranger amongst
us, having only been here two or three
months, employed at the Palmetto Lum-
Der Mill of this town. He is q young
man and unmarried.
Mr.. Detettie was engineer of the
steam lighter VestG. which plies up and
down Black River and Mingo Creek. He
was highly though of and very lively
and good humored in his manners. His
home is in Waccamaw, Horny County,
where he has wife and three or four lit
tie children.
Coroner Renty Tucker erpanelled a
jury and held an inquest over the body.
The jury, after carefully examining into
the affair, rendered q verdict "that the
deceased was killed by a pistol in the
hands of George Smith, in manner and
form against the peace and dignity ofthe
State"

the Gin is now in perfect order. It's great

the friction produced by cotton box, there

Before adjourning the United States
Senate did itself the justice to reject the
nomination of the notorious Corbin to
be chief Justice of Utah. Thus while
saving the people Of Utah from most
yillainous imposition, they have at the
same time given Mr.. Hayes direct slap
in the face for his shameless violation by
this nomination Of those principles of
civil service reform about which he 80
profusely canted some two years ago.
Mr.. Corbin is now at liberty to return to
South Carolina to practice law if he de-
sires, but if he does SO it would be we'll
for him to take course of study as to
the difference between "the meum and
the teum" before returning. Ifhis ideas
are not more clear and his practice more
correct on this subject than they were
before, he will not be here long before
General Lipscomb will have an addition
al convict under his care.

The Constitutional Convention of Lou
isiana has framed as a part of the new
Constitution provision for supplying
MANNED soldiers in that State with miss
ing limbs at the public expense. A
number of the Republican members,
including Pinchback and Warmoth, vo-
ted for the measure, and hence the Radi-
Gals cannot make much headway in
criticising the action, which was unwise
and inconsiderate. Taken all together,
the Constitutional Convention of Lou
isiana has been humbug up to this
time. It had better dissolve and let
another and better set of constitution
builders be employed. Such action on
its part would render the present Con-
vention famous in history as sbody of
true and disinterested patriots.

Texas sentiment seems to be up to the
proper standard on the question of pun
ishing men for murder. Au,indignation
meeting in one County has denounced,
and Grand Jury in another has pre-
scented Governor Roberts of that State
as unfit for the position of Chief Magis-
trate, and for countenancing crime by
his acts. The ground of this criticism
is that the Governor has pardoned two
men convicted of murder. If juries
would do their duties everywhere, and
grand juries would keep the Governor
straight, there would be numerous hang
ings for short time, and after that
there would be very few murders. The
Texas grand jury has branched off in
the right direction.

Speaking of the Democratic prospects
as Affected by the extra session of Con-
gress, Senator Thurman recently said !:
81 am of the impression, although I
may be self-deceiving, that one Of the
.pleasantest things that I shall recollect
in after life as occurring in my public SER
vice will be the fact of this extra session.
I think this extra session has done no
small service for American liberty. That
is my opinion about it."

The extra session of Congress adjourn
ed on Tuesday, first day of July, leaving
the appropriation. bill for the services of
United States marshals unpassed, in cou-
sequence of the Presidents factious and
tyrannical veto. The issue Of the session
has been better than it promised to be in
the beginning, but looking over the re-
cord we are obliged to admit that neither
party has gained much by the struggle,
for both have shown bad management
and bad temper. At one time the Presi-
dent and the Republicans had a decided
advantage before the country; but the
divisions of the appropriation bills and
their passage by segments outwitted the
Republicans and has involved the Presi-
dent in inconsistencies. The test oath
has been abolished, and new jury law
adopted which will greatly improve the
complexion of United States juries. The
use Of the army for election purposes hes
been forbidden for one year, and, al
though this is no practical advantage,
yet it has the Presidents signature, and
he cannot well veto bill next session
which contains the same proviso. The
veto of the marshals bill was useless
and strategic blunder in the President,
for he has defined the issues of the two
parties very clearly, when it was unneces-
sary, for he could have allowed the bill
to become law without approving it,
which would not have committed him on
the subject at all. Taking the whole
question into the calculation we believe
that the Republicans have made greater
blunders than the Democrats in the extra
session. The Democrats have obtained
some advantages, and if we use thera ju-
diciously, and commit no blunders next
fall, we ought to find some. very good
campaign timber out of this sessions
work.

The Constitution of New York fixes
the term of the different officers of that
State, so that an election for all of them
comes in the same year only in every
sixth year. The campaign which comes
off there this year will be unusually in
teresting, as all of these officers are to
be elected this time, and upon the result
will almost certainly depend the electoral
vote of the State in 1880. Either party
that can now carry the State and get
control of all of its Offices will be more
than likely to succeed in carrying it for
the presidency next year. Speculations
as to the nominations are therefore being
made as to who will be the respective
candidates for the gubernatorial chair,
and some very wild guessing is being
made. Some time ago Washington
correspondent predicted that Tilden
would be the Democratic candidate, and
Conkling the Republican, and that
whichever one of them was elected
would be the next President. This is
scarcely correct, though tits by no means
impossible. There can be no doubt that
each party will nominate the strongest
man it can produce, for the election will
be one of immense Importance, not only
to the State of New York, but also to
the political parties of the United States.
On the Democratic side Governor Rob-
inson seems to be the most prominent
candidate, and his selection would give
the Democracy its strongest chance of
success. He is in favor of making the
fight on the question of Federal inter-
ence at the polls, and would unite the
different wings of the party as complete
ly as any man in the State.

The New York papers, from time to
time, lecture the South upon Its lawless-
ness and lack of the high standard of
morality which they affect to possess, and
yet the example of that metropolis is
not, to say the least of it, calculated to
show their alleged erring brothers of The
South any more commerdable habits of
life than those which we now possess.
Murders, fobberies and outrages ere
constantly reported, and even on the
GLORIOUS fourth of July" the people Of
that law-abiding and patriotic city could
not be satisfied with the ancient manner
of celebrating the national birthday, so
that in four separate cases murders were
committed, and serious brawls we're in
dulged in. According to ouf opinion, if
the New York papers which make bus
mess of lecturing the South would lay
aside their Satanic Puritanism and look
in their own midst at the crime, and
shame, and distress which prevails, they
would find on abundance of channels at
at home for the consumption of all their
advice, and lectures, and disquisitions
generally. 1t may be, however, that
such advanced thinkers as the Herald,
Tribune and Times realize the full force
of the situation, and know that the CO.
reer of crime is so firmly fixed in the
hearts of the roughs of their own Sec
ton that they have no hope of saving
them, and hence engage in their gener-
Gus missionary work Of remodelling the
Southern people, in whose regeneration
they have more confidence. Unless they
are actuated by some such reasoning as
this, we must be INDUCED in expressing
the opinion that the Northern editors
who are continually befating the South
for its shortcomings, while they see
nothing but that which is commendable
in themselves, are a consummate set OF
hypocrites. The truth, however, is that
q few hangings would improve society
both at the North and ct the South.

Citizen Foster is the appellation by
which the Republican candidate for
Governor of Ohio is to be known during
the pending canvass. This is to call at
tention to the fact that he was staying at
home amassing money for himself while
Gen. Ewing and Gov. Rice were fighting
the battles of their country during the
war. This appellation will lose Mr..
Foster thousand votes in October.
