This is an cmincn,ly satisfactory show.
ing The majoritics in these Districts,
with the exception Of the Second and
Seventh, arc trivial, even according 10
the census. and can easily be overcome
In the Second District there are large
number Of Democratic negroes, so that
it is very safe for the Democrats More
than this, the registration Of voters gives

THE DEMOCRACY's DANGER.

1t cannot be otherwise than n source
of regret to every thoughtful Democrat
to see in different portions of our State
more or less Of controversy and faction
manifesting itself in the Democratic
Clubs. Unless this spirit is checked, the
end of Democratic ascendancy in South
Carolina is not far distant. Factions
weakened the Republican party few
years ago to such an extent that although
they had 4 majority OF forty thousand
voters, their party by schism and lack OF
unity Of action. lost the State government,
aud have not yet been able TO recover it.
With this practical lesson as to tho re-
suit Of divisions, tho Democratic party
ought to avoid the rock upon which the
Republican majority was wrecked. In
all dissensions one or the other party is
apt to be wrong in the beginning, but as
general thing if the other party does
not assume mistaken position. the dis
sension is not apt to extend very far.
Most commonly both sides in q coutro-
versy are apt to take indefensiblc ground
in some part of the dispute, and there is
the point where elimination and recrim-
ination begin. In politics there is but
one safe rule to govern our actions, and
that is the right of majority legitimate.
ly aud fairly exercised to rule. The
majority of to-day, however, may be the
minority Of tomorrow, and the very ex-
istence of political ascendancy in South
Carolina depends upon tho principle Of
bearing and forbearing, which will make
the members of the party willing to
yield their personal views and wishes to
those of the majority, trusting to the
vindication of time, and those changes
in opinion which are sure TO make things
even sooner or later. In difficulties like
those which have occurred in some parts
OF the State, the advocates Of both sides
are more than likely to be excited and
act with very little deliberation. Things
are said that are useless and unkind-
that only fen instead Of heating the
breach. Two much pride of opinion
and love of victory nre permitted to en-.
ter into mems opinions, and actions are
taken which to outsiders are useless, if
not ridiculous, and nine times out of ten
upon sober reflection in cooler moments
are regretted by the participating parties
themselves. We hope in future that all
differences between Democrats in South
Carolina may be averted. We have
fighting enough to do against our com.
mon onemy, and it is most unfortunate
to waste our strength in quarrels with
each other. Unity of purpose is not
enough. II requires also unity Of action
to defeat the Republicans in South Caro-.
lina. It is better for US to yield our
preferences as to some things, than to
risk losing the control of South Carolina.
Atirresent the Democracy is in no dan.
ger, but If tho local dis:cns:ons are con.
tinued it is only question of time as
to when these troubles will distract our
counties and the State itself. "Let there
be no divisions among you," is an In
junction which may we'll be given to the
Democrats of South Carolina. We can.
not afford them. They will lead us to
disorganization and party ruin.

JUDGE WALLACE DECLINES.

Below we publish letter from Judge
Wallace to the Ncws and Courier de-
clining to permit his name to go before
the State Convention for the Gubcrna-

our opinion, to induce the public to look
elsewhere feE the nominee fo. this iiIi-
portant office, although there is no doubt
that Judge Wallace would he in every
respect most desirable candidate for
our party. His record Us Speaker Of the
House il historic for its chivulrous bear
ing and its strict impartiality, its fairness
aud it's ability. His record upon tho
Bench is equal to tho best for dignity,
learning and justice. His personal in
tegrity, his attaiuments and his command
over men mark him as the peer Of any
man in the State in influence and popu.
larity. 1t is not to be wondered that he
should have been pressed against h,s will
for this position, but we think wherc 80
many men Of ability and fitness are will.

his tastes and aspirations. Judge Wall
lace is doing the State very excellent
service, and for public and personal rea.
sons he prefers to remain in his present
position. We think Judge Wallace is
right, and though we regret that we can
not have his services as Governor, We are
glad that the strongest reason for not
getting them is that he is now where he
can scrvc us better. Judge Wallace
says:

in Marion county is l,O5S. The Marion
Star says: $50 Democracy is safe in Ma
rion, if the Democrats themselves don't

fortunately minor differences are being

serious consequences and dangers to our

people should in every part of The State
remember that only by harmony and
