down South, for whom he proposes to do
SO much in case they give him the nomi-
nation, had ever heard of hin. since the
general flight of the thieves in 1877 until
within the last month, since which time
he has been striving very strenuously for
the nomination for Congress from this
District. He has written several letters
to parties in this District claiming to be
able to carry the District for the Repub.
licans in case he is nominated, one Of
which was addressed to ex-senator Coch-
ran, of Anderson. The one We publish
below was addressed to colored man of
this place who did him many kindnesses
while he was here in Jail, but who was
not, es he seems to suppose, a delegate to
the late Radical Convention. He is now
living in Washington, and is we presume
one of those pets of the Treasury or Rev
enue Departments of the General Gov
ernment who are always willing to come
South when they can see an Office ahead.
Here is the letter:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. %. 1880.
FRIEND -: My arrangements are
complete for nomination by your Congress
ional Convention as member OF Congress
from the Third District. Believing you to
be friend, / hope you are delegate from
Anderson to that Convention. IF you are

campaign, if get the nomination, and for
good speakers to go from here to help US
work. Of course, this help will come from
my personal friends, and will not extend to
any other person the Convention may
nominate. In fact, no other man but my
self can be elected this time. What the

and if do get the nomination Mr..
Aiken goes ont and Mr.. Hayward goes in.
And think you RAIDS ought to know from
which one Of us two you may expect the

and your entire delegation will iloller James

called in that Convention. If you All do

spoke in an earnest, emphatic manner.
ri regard the Democratic leaders as i'm
measurably superior, in every respect, to
the leaders of the Republican party.
There is not grander class Of men on
earth than those who determine the tone,
spirit and policy of the Northern Democ-
racy. 1 made a speech in the city of
Rochester, in which I proclaimed that l
was exultipgly proud of my identifica-

I intended to say to the people of Green
Vile, in the Court House Saturday night,
that was equally fond of being in the
same party with the Democrats of the
North. Southern men should trust the
Democrats of the North fully, and love
them as brothers"
After spending q half hour in gen.
eral conversation concerning the cam.
paign, in which Mr.. Bishop expressed
the opinion that the National Demo-
cratic nominees would be elected, the
reporter bowed himself out.
Concerning the speech Of Col. Aiken
the Charleston Ne,cs and Courier closes
an editorial with the following timely
remarks.
For the last four years Col. Aiken has
made his living in Congress by the
Democratic party, and he has been again
nominated by the Democrats of his dis
trict for reelection. 1t will be a fortu-
nate thing for the party and the State, if
he is not allowed to make any more Town
vile speeches at the Democratic mass
meetings. If he has nothing more in.

than the short comings of the Northern
Democrats if he has no ideas on politi.
cal economy to ventilate and no sugges-
tions of benefit to the industrial inter.
ests of the country to make, it would be
better for him to preserve an unbroken
silence through the balance of the cam
paign. If, however, he cannot get rid of
his hobby, and feels compelled to speak,
be should, at least, not be allowed to
talk in fretful and complaining strain
at Democratic meetings. If Col. Aiken
has found out that he cannot work in
perfect harmony with the Democratic
party, he should withdraw from the race
as q Democratic candidate for Congress,
and give the people of the Third Dis

THE NORTHERN DEMOCRACY.

We take the following interview with
ex-senator Bishop, of Florida, rom the
Greenville Daily Nears of Tuesday, and
as he takes issue with our Congressional
nominee, concerning the respectability Of
the Northern Democracy. it will be found
interesting, and will serve to correct an
erroneous idea that is, and has long been,
entirely too prevalent in the South, to
wit, that the Democratic party North
was composed of the very scum Of so,
cie:y.
The interview proceeded as fellows:
"Haye you read the report of Hon. D.
Wyatt Aiken's speech in regard to the
Northern Democracy"
Mr.. Bishop quietly took his cigar from
his mouth and, as the smoke curled
above his head, replied:
"Well, yes, I have noticed what he is
reported to have said, and 1 am very
sorry that he said what he did,"
evil you give your opinion on the
subject for the benefit of the readers of
the Ne,os e' was asked.
"It is true," said Mr.. Bishop, "that in
many Northern cities q majority Of the
illiterate laborers act with the Democrats.
1t is also equally true that q majority of
the bondholders, National bankers, di-
rectors of great corporations, controllers
of INSCRIPTIONS monopolies are Repub-
licans. Nearly all of the shoddy aris-
tocracy are to be found in the same
party; indeed, most of the men who
grew suddenly rich during the war, by
cheating the Government and robbing
the soldiers, are active workers in the
Republican party. One of this class has
been Treasurer, for several years, of the
Republican Executive Committee OF the
State of New York"
"Well, Mr.. Bishop, are you we'll ac-
auainted in the North, and what has
been your observation Of the intelligence
of the parties?"
II know q great deal about all parts OF
the North. 1 can say, most positively,
that I know of no Northern community
in which there are not as intelligent men,
and men of as high character and stand
ing, in the Democratic as there are in
the Republican party

of the Northern Democracy" At this

RADICAL CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS.

All the fools are not dead yet. We
had long since come to the conclusion
that no Radical who had ever heard of
s. L. Hoge's experience as q Radical
candidate for Congress against D. Wyatt
Aiken could be found who would be
willing to make the race against him,
but from the subjoined epistle it will be
seen that there remaineth one yet who is
fool enough to think that there is a
chance for the success Of Radical NOM
inee in this District, and who is also
extremely anxious to make the effort to
defeat the Democratic nominee. His
arrangements are about completed for
nomination by the Convention of this
District, he says; and he also claims to
have made arrangements for all the
money he wants with which to conduct
the campaign, besides having the prom
ise of able campaign speakers to assist
him. He pleads with great earnestness
with his friend" to stand up to him,
and assures him that he won't fail him
when he asks any favors.
The whole letter is rather an ingenious
concern, and bears upon its face sufficient
evidence of the character of its author.
It is entirely in keeping with the ways
many of the unprincipled scoundrels who
are found in the Republican party resort
to to deceive the colored voters in the
South, and secure their own nomination
for Office. It might be worth while to
say that the man whose name is signed
to the letter is known in this community
only as felon. He spent about ten
months in our county Jail under sentence
of the United States District Court for
violating some of the revenue laws, and
had with him while here, as his wife, a
woman of extremely bad character. He
was one of the dirty understrappers who
belonged to the Radical party during its
supremacy in this State, but we do not
know that he ever held any Office during
his residence here, except in the revenue
department. That he was revenue off,
Ger is sufficient evidence that he was
man of the worst character and capable Of
the lowest and most degrading practices.
We do not suppose that his friends Z"

United States Marshal Wallace has
been in Washington attacking the census
reports from this State. What his OBJ
lection to them rests upon we do not
know, unless it is the desire to furnish
campaign material for the Northern Re-
publicans. We have no idea there is
any irregularity in the census, and do
not object to any investigation that may
be ordered, but it is unfair and unprin.

purposes about matters affecting the pros.

REPUBLICAN, STATE CONVENTION.

This body, composed principally OF
ignorant negroes, public plunderers and
a few white scallawags, adjourned on
last Saturday, after session Of shree
days, without making any nominations
for State offices. There is no doubt that
this policy was dictated from Washington.
The Convention when it assembled was
unquestionably in favor of the nomina-
ton of full State ticket, but Elliott,
who holds Federal Office, came fresh
from Washington and apr ared in the
Convention, opposed al! State nomina:
tions and by bull-dozing the Convention
carried his point, and the nomination of
State officers was referred tn the discre-
ton of the State Executive Committee.
This policy was devised by the Federal
Republicans and not by those of the State.
What does it mean? The Republicans
have sense enough to know that the i'm
portant contest is not for State Offices,
but for the Federal, and if :hey can lull
the Democrats into repose by making
them believe that there is no danges of
losing the State, and thereby electing
their State Electoral ticket and some of
the members of Congress, and should Sc
cure Republican President and q ma
jority of the lower House Congress, they
will have accomplished more than under
other circustances they could hope for.
They believe that if they can secure the
President they will be able to carry the
State two years hence. We have no
doubt this is the wisest policy the party
could have adopted. In heated contest
for the State officers, they would have
been defeated and this defeat would have
insured the loss of their Electoral ticket.
Now they expect through the indifference
of the Democrats to carry the State for
Garfield. This policy on their part should
arouse every Democrat, for We may rest
assured that if Garfield should be elected
the South will not have the peace AND
quiet under his administration which it
has enjoyed under that of Hayes. But
is there not another danger ahead, that
the Republicans fully reused Oh the Fed
eral issue, and every man Of them found
at the polls on the day Of election, may
have full State ticket, and by voting
that ticket defeat the Democratic State
ticket? The only security to the State
and the country is for every Democrat to
feel that the result of the elections de-
pends on bis individual vote, and to see
to it that that vote is placed in the ballot
box.

THE CHIEF Jusr1oEsH1p.

On last Wednesday Governor Simpson
resigned his Office, and the Hon. T. B.
Jeter, President of the Senate, was sworn
5 in as Governor and entered upon the
discharge of the duties of the Office.
Elk. Governor Simpson then qualified as
Chief Justice, to which place he had
been elected by q joint vote of the
General Assembly. It has been under
stood for some time that Judge Willard
would contest his right.to the Chief JUS
.tice's places Judge Willard, in letter
addressed to the Associate Justices of the
Supreme Court, advises them that he
still claims the Office, and that he remains
invested with its functions until the right
to the Office shall be decided by the
Court. We hear that Judge Simpson
will at once institute proceedings to test
his right to the Office, and that it is likely
the question will be decided at an early
day. 1t is hoped that this may be 80, as
Judge Simpson was elected and qualified,
and we do not see how Judge Williard's
contesting his election can invest Judge
Willard with the functions Of the office
during the contest ip the face of the
Constitution, which provides that the
Chief Justice shall serve for the term OF
six years, and until his successor shall be
elected and qualified. If Judge Simpson
was constitntionahy elected, then he was,
upon qauifying, the Chief Justice,
and no contest made by Judge Willard
can invest him with the functions of the
Office. The question raised by this con-
test is, Whether or not the General AS
isembly can elect Chief Justice for a less
term than six years? A decision of the
Supreme Court can only finally decide it,
which we trust will soon be made, as any
judicial function discharged by Judge
Willard after Governor Simpson qualified
may lead to future litigation in the event
that the Court should decide that Judge
Simpson is the constitutionally elected
Chief Justice.

appeared they shrank from mourning

to come to the front like men and

If such was to be the disgraceful conduct
of the white men in the Republican
party better by far had the party be dis
banded at once and the colored man
learn that he would have to look else
where for our friends. There was but one
way to keep up the party and that was
by keeping it organized with competent
leaders ready for action at any time.
E. NJ. Brayton, the internal revenue
collector, opposed making nominations,
urging similar objections as those offered

and Others, followed in favor of making
nominations. The resolution to refer

from each Congressional district and

almost strictly color vote, and the chair
man (Tatt) pro tenn. appointed the com.
