In view Of the assessments on government
employees in Washington forpolitical purposes,
the New York. Times says The spectacle
now presented at Washington is that of a
committee of Congressman drawing an cleo
tion fund for Congressmen's campaign expen-
ses directly from the public treasury. Such a
combination of usurpation, petty despotism
and corruption is enough to make the founders
of the government turn in their graves. I'M

On the 7th of November nearly all Of the
States hold their Congressional and State elec-
tions. The exceptions are Maine, Septem-
ber II Ohio and West Virginia, October 10.
Arkansas will elect State officers September 4 ;
Vermont, September 5, and Georgia October
4. These three States will elect congressman
on the 7th of November. The next State elec-
tion will not occur in Louisiana until April,
1884, Oregon is the only State that has held
an election for the next Congress. State Off

i In the Michigan State Democratic Conven-
tion the proposition for fusion with the Green
hackers carried by large majority. BY this
proposition the State ticket will be divided be-
tween the two parties as follows The Green
hackers to have governor, commissioner of
land office, superintendent of public instruc-
tion and member of the board Of education.
The Democrats will have lieutenant-governor,
secretary of state, state treasurer and auditor
general. The opposition fought vigorously to
secure a democratic head of the ticket, but it
is understood it would not be accepted by the
Greenbackers.

Spetial Notlfes.
To the Voters Of York County.

After mature consideration, I have decided to
weld to the wishes of my friends and permit my
name to 90 before the primary election as can
didate for a seat in the House of Representatives
of the next General Assembly. Ny engagements
and private business affairs may not permit me
to visit every portion Of the county between this
date and the primary election and to those of
my fellow citizens whom I may not have the
pleasure of SEEING would take take this meth
cd of saying that should I be honored with an
election at your hands, shall strive to serve you
in the legislative halls of the State to the best OF
nv ability, having in constant mind the support
of such measures only as will conduce to the
welfare Of those whom Immediately represent,
as we'll as the State at large.
On the subject Of the proposed constitutional
amendment reducing the area OF countes-can-
ddates having been called upon through the
press to define their views on this question:
can only say, in this brief communication, that
am opposed to that proposition. I oppose 1t as
a dangerous political expedient, which, while it
would fail of the purpose for which it Is ostensi-
bly, designed, viz the increase ofSenatorial repre-
sentaion, would afford an opportunity, ultimate
ly, in case of Republican ascendency, to increase
in the Senate Chamber the colored or Republi-
can representation. Besides the failure which 1t
would undoubtedly prove as political measure,
should also oppose it as opening the way for
division of York county; scheme that should
never approve, unless better reasons were given
for such step than have yet heard advanced.
This, in brief, is my position on the new coun-
ty" movement; but on it, as other questions
before the county. I shall be pleased, as occasion
presents, to define my position at greater length
than I am permitted to express myself in the
limits of a newspaper card. Very respectfully,
GEO L. RIDDLE.

GENERAL POLITICAL NOTES.

of the 40 delegates to the Republican
State Convention of Texas, 250 were colored.
The Republicans cannot control the next
Congress without gains in the South. They
cannot expect such gains except by aid and
comfort of Independents.
Hannibal G. Carter, a cOlored man of edu-
cation, has entered the field as an Independent
Republican candidate for Congress, against
Chalmers, white Republican, in the Second
Mississippi district.
The Hon. John F. Miller, Of Gonzales,
Texas, who was nominated for Congress on
the 10Th inst. by the Democratic Convention
of the Eighth District of that State, was born
in Winnsboro', Fairfield county, South Caro-
lima, August 1, 1882.
- The Kansas Greenback Convention, which
met at Topeka last Friday, nominated ex-
Governor Charles Robinson, the first Governor
of Kansas, for Governor. One of the nominees
for Congressman at large is Allen Williams,
a coloredman.
AT Selma, Ala, last Friday, John W.
Jones, colored, was nominated by the Repub-
lican Convention of the Fourth District for
the vacancy in the present Congress, and ex-
Judge George H. Craig for the Forty-eighth
Congress.
Gen. Gordon is spoken of as the probable
successor of Senator Hill. There is strong
feeling, however, in favor of Alexander H.
Stephens, and should he be elected to the Gov
ernorship of Georgia, there is no doubt that
he will be an important and formidable candi-
date.
Says the Mobile Register The Republicans
of South Carolina are to fuse with the Green
hackers in North Carolina, with the anti
Prohibitionists in Indiana with the Prohi-
bitionists in Virginia, with the Reputation
lists in Tennessee, with the State Credit peo-
pie; in Arkansas with the Low Tax party,
and in Georgia and Texas, with the 1nde-
pendents. Certainly, party of most elastic
principles.
Without the assistance of the colored vote,
Pennsylvania would be comfortably Democrat
ic on a square party issue. In Altoona, COL
ored man, as the champion of his people,
sought Legislative nomination. He receiv-
ed 10 votes out of 129 in the Convention.
Another colored delegate was refused admit
tance to the Convention. The colored voters
threatened to go over to the Democracy, but

STATE POLITICAL ITEMS.

There are eleven legislative candidates be-
fore the Laurens primary election.
The Newberry Republicans have called
convention to elect delegates to the State Con
vention and to the Congressional Convention.
- Edgetield is solidly Democratic. The Ad-
reatiSer doubts if a half dozen Independents or
Greenbackers could be found in the county.
Col. John ID. Wylie, of Lancaster, declines
to be candidate for second term in the
State Senate.
- The Columbia Register says Senator Hamp-
ton has fully determined not to serve another
term in the Senate.
On Friday last the Democrats of the Third
Congressional district renominated D. Wyatt
Aiken for Congress by acclamation.
- The State political canvass opens to-day
in Anderson. Besides the Democratic nomi-
nees on the State ticket, several prominent
speakers from other States are expected to as
sist at the Inauguration of the canvass.
e. w. NJ. Mackey, has abandoned the Re-
publicans of the First Congressional district,
and seeks election from the Seventh. He has
as opponents Samuel Lee, of Sumter, and Rob-
ert Smalls, of Beaufort, both colored.
Judge Mackey declines to divide time with
the Democrats. He has served written notice
on the Chester County Chairman that any in
reference by the ''usual Democratic methods''
will be resisted by force, if necessary, or pros
ecuted i'll the United States Courts.
-Smalls doesn't like the idea of the Repub-
licans advocating the doctrine of representa-
tion by intelligent men. A young Republican
who was so unfortunate as to advocate such
views at mass meeting, received violence
from the colored Congressman. This assault
was made upon 7. J. Reynolds at st. Helena
Saturday, August 10Th.
The Democratic primary election for I'm
ion county, held last Friday, resulted in the
following choice For Senator, William Mum

Kissick and John r. Minter. Probate Judge
David johnson, Jr. School Commissioner,
Major D. A. Townsend. County Commission
ers, G. G. Sartor, Gilmer G. Greer and Rev.
Sydney Gault. County Treasurer, Captain
Thomas Conner. Auditor, w. w. Hughes.
The election was an exciting one, there being
no less than thirty-five candidates in the field.
- The Baltimore Day makes this point: "Of
the 80, 600 men (mostly colored) who voted for
Chamberlain not 5000 could vote if they lived
in Rhode Island. Nearly if not quite nine out
of ten would he disfranchised under the suff-
rage laws peculiar to the bailiwick over which
Senator Anthony is, as near as may be, the
presiding officer. If the statutes of Rhode Is
land on this ssubject were transplanted to South
Carolina the Democratic majority in the lat
ter commonwealth would be at least $4,000,
and counties where the adult negro males ex-
ceed the whites twenty to one would go large
ly Democratic" And yet Rhode Island is
constantly turning up the whites of it's sancti-
monious eyes at South Carolina. The disfran-
chised Rhode Islanders are white men.

THE ALABAMA PLOT.

A dispatch from Meridian, Miss, to the
New Orleans Ifmes-Dem0crat after giving
substantially the same account of the plot
of the negroes to murder the white people of
Choctaw county, Alabama, and of the arrest OF
the ringleaders, as published in the ENQUIRER
last week, furnishes the following additional
information in regard to the means employed
to secure a disclosure of the details of the
plot:
On Saturday morning Secretary Bonner was
taken from the Jail by the whites ana inter
rogated, and notwithstanding the proof was
conclusive against him, he denied all know
ledge of the conspiracy and affirmed with
Christian-like sincerely his innocence. He
was tied up by the toes, while Rev. Lmon
was brought out to tell what he knew. lie
didn't know anything at first, but under the
refreshing and persuasive influence OF the
lash, applied vigorously to his barred back, he
remembered and told a great many things.
When the minutes were read to him ne ad-
mitted that he had heard them read twice
before in the meeting that he knew the con-
spiracy existed that it was the intention Of
the negroes to kill the people, take possession
of the county and make Gen. Jack Turner
ruler, but that he had nothing to do with it..
He admitted that he had been carrying the
call around and getting the negroes to join,
and that when arrested he was on his last
round, and that he was paid fifty cents day
for his services. He could not be whipped
into telling where the books and other papers
of the organization were kept. He denied all
knowledge of their whereabouts; said he knew
they existed, but did not know where they
were kept. lie said that one of the negroes
asked in the Jail the night before if the white
people had found the books and other papers,
and that Jack Turner spoke up and said !:
"No, they are not quite that ID smart. "
After this admission and other conclusive
proofs against him it was unanimously agreed
among the whites that "Gen. Jack Turner
ought to swing" accordingly he was taken
from the Jail, and between the hours of II
and O'Clock in the broad open light of the
day he was hanged to the limb of tree on
the main street of the town. There was a
strong inclination manifested on the part OF
the people to hang the other six, but older
and cooler counsel prevailed, and they were
spared. 1t is said the people were as quiet
and cool as people well could be under the
circumstances, and the execution of Turner
was as deliberate as if done under the forms
of law. All is quiet now, and no further
trouble is likely to occur.
1t is said of Turner that he attempted to
head an uprising of the lawless element OF his
race some eight or nine years ago. Turner and
his mob armed themselves to attack the town
of Butler, when the whites heard of their i'm
pending danger and turned out in force to
protect their homes. The outlaws were dis
persed and so badly frightened that people
took it for granted they would abandon their
hostile designs Under the circumstances it
is not surprising that Turner fell into the
hands of the lynchers

TO THE YORK DEMOCRACY.
An ADDRESS FROM THE DEMOCRATIC
COUNTY CHAIRMAN.

10 The Citizens Of York County:-It is pro-
posed by the Democratic party to manage
political campaigns so as to entail on the
people only such trouble as is necessary. Asfar
as your county is concerned, the Articles
adopted by your last Convention evidence an
experiment in that direction. Those Articles
however, recognize distinctly the fact that
the po,cer of selection is, and of right ought to
be, with the people. AS it's guardians, then,
never forget that "etepal vigilance is the
price of liberty" Imbued with that spirit,
the desire will ever remain with you to see,
face to face, those to whom it is proposed to
commit trusts of vital Importance to you. as a
people, and to your children after you.
And now on the 18th day of next month, at
Yorkvlle, the next Governor of South Carolina
