lin" to Avoid Entering Wodgos.
From the Camden journal.
1t would require too much time and
spacc to go into detail and explain
from tho very commencement this
truly unhappy state OF affairs, but a
wing Of the Democracy, sourcd and
disappointed. flew off upon the debt
question: and, too weak to carry the
State themselves, coalcsccd with the
Radicals, and thereby carried the State
against the straightout Dcmocracy.
This party has assumed powerful
following, and now under tho leader
ship of Gen. Malone, as gallant an old
Confederate rs ever flashed blade,
they threaten tho safety of the State.
and even Grant looms up rs pcrhaps
the victor Of the Old Dominion. Too
bad indeed. Sad to think of; but alas,
too true. We have read of Gen. Ma
hone, the leader, being actually closet
cd with the leaders Of the Grant party,
and it proves how dangerous always
the first step towards break is. Let
us then, III South Carolina, beware.
Let lis move cautiously, but solidly, to
the grand goal; and as we do so lot all
matters OF a personal nature rest for
the good of the State. 1t is easy to
Kick from the traces; but whom once
out, hard it is to get back without
something breaking. We trust then
that the sad condition of Old Virginia
Will stand as warning to us all, and
that If any such breakers should appear
ahead Of us, they will be most carefully
avoided.
In order now that state of harmony
may exist, and that there shall be no
trouble in our camps we must 60 into
our nominations free from all "cliuuc-
ism, or strategy, and the free, indie
pendent wish Of the people must be
obeycd. This we hope and trust will
DC done, and that tho proud party
which carried victory and good uoy-
crnmcnt with 1t in 1876, will still bear
up the banner which has not vet been
trailcd In the dust. Gen. Mahone's
disaffcction should warn us, and no
such thing as this, we hope, will occur
in South Carolina.
LEADvILLE's RECKLEssNEss.-It was
nearly year ago when Leadvillc was
1irst showing what there was in her.
There were several newly made bo-
nanza kings about Denver then, and
among them was man who had
probably never had twenty dollars in
his pocket Mt one time previous to his
strike. 10 him tho possession of n
watch was tho natural evidence of q
competence, and as he made more than
a competence he felt that the fact
should be indicated by the purchase of
several watches. These lic had de-
posted in the Grand Central Hotel
safe.
