Cash Waving the "BIoody Shirt"

WAsHINGToN, September 5.-Colonel
+. B. Z. Cash of South Carolina re-
marked to correspondent of the New
York Times to. day that he did not think
the people and newspapers at the North
took the right view of the Independent
movement in his State. AS for himself,
he was in no sense an Office seeker, did
not come to Washington to get control of
Office patronage, and did not profess to
be Republican. Said Colonel Cash:
81 am Democrat. but left the
Bourbon Democracy because could not
stand their methods any longer. IN my
State the bosses have become SO corrupt
and savage that they have forfeited every
claim upon decent, peace loving, patriot.
ic citizens. They have grossly violated
every pledge made in 1876. They do
not regard their most sacred oaths, nor
have they any consideration for the rights
OF anybody, and they are plunging the
State into distress and ruin. Elections
are an absolute farce. The whole ma.
chinery ia i'll the hands of the Bourbons,
and any majority is returned that is con-
sidcred necessary. Violence is rssortct 1
to where fraud fails, and the rioters kno.
they will not be punished. The Bour.
bons defend their course on the ground
that it 10 necessary to keep negroes out
OF oitice, but, as q matter of fact, there
is no race issue Mt stake. Lest Fall the
entire State and Congressional ticket,
aud almost every place on the country
Independent tickets were white and our
candidates were fully equal to theirs in
all that make up good citizenship. On
fair vote We should certainly have car.
ried my district aud the State. Almost
all the colored people 60 with us. There
are scarcely enough white Republicans
to fill tho Federal offices, and the few
who are there do not possess the conf.
dence of the colored people. / think
Northern newspapers ought to deal with
more sympathy with these opposition
movements at the South. They 90 far
toward making honest elections possible,
and It is through them that the tyranni.
cal Democratic machine can be over.
thrown.
There is one question should like
to ask the Times and the North general
ly," said Colonel Cash, in conclusion
'and /: is timely and important one.
In case Democrat Ia declared elected
President next year by the help of Ger.
tain States, namely Alabama, Mississip.
pi, Louisiana and South Carolina, car

ods which now prevail In those States
what are the people at the North going
to do about it?"

Tiiden In South Carolina.

Some of the Northern newspapers are
publishing accounts of the negotiations
said to have taken place in South Caro-
lima in 1876, when it appeared doubtful
whether Hayes or Tilden had carried the
State. The fsu.liar cipher dispatches
are reprinted, and the public are remind
ed that Mr.. Tilden was invited, in
cipher, to deposit $50, 900 to be used in
buying the Returning Board.
There is nothing very new in this, and
it is reasonably sure that leading Re.
publican elector gave it to be understood
that he was for sale. The large sum of
money that was called for in 1876, as a
bribery fund, was never furnished, but
MIR. Tilden did agree, earlier in the year,
We believe, to contribute $4,000 towards
the legitimate expenses of the canvass.
This is admitted to be the fact.
Another fact is, that IS 900 were spent
on the faith of Mr.. Tilden's promise,
and to this day Mr.. Tilden has cot re-.
paid q solitary cent of :hst which was
expended in his name. So the story
goes, and we have every reason to believe
that it is an "ower true le."-Ne,rs and

country will be much lower than the re-.
Gently established local rates, and will
further be lover ia great part than they
were last year. The Y0rkville merchants
have complained about the assumed

previous through rates between York
vile and Charleston. As was stated re.
Gently in this correspondence there is a
great difference between local and

rates soon to be established will be such
~ to satisfy those who now complain.
The business Of Charleston will not suf-

Senator Mcdonald, of Indiana, in
an address at Des Moines, Iowa, last
week, denounced the Tariff Act of the
last Congress as measure opposed to
tariff reform, and as still furtheriDg the
protected industries. He favored q reve-
nue. tariff which should be destitute Of
the principle Of protection beyond what
a strictly revenue tariff would unavoida-
bly, protect. Dir. Mcdonald declared
that psoiibito.y measures for the sup
preston Of the liquor traffic had invaria.
bly, proved failures. Because n few
drink too much it is unreasonable to
demand that all should drink hono. The
Legislature cannot be the guardian Of
every mans conscience, nor ought it to
assume to violate the personal rights of
man." Senator Mcdonald is q promi.
nent candidate for the Democratic Presi.
dental nomination next year and il
elected would make an upright, able and
efficient President. The trouble about
his nomination, however, is that he is
not as strong in his own State as the
nominee ought to be. Taking all things
into consideration, we believe the Dem
ocratic party can do better than to nom
mate Mr.. Mcdonald.

The Augusta Chronicie and lon'tifn.
tonaha replying to our article of last
week on the tariff, says: eve will state
to our Anderson friend that the friends
of pro .ction favored the abolition of
the match tax. Mr.. Bayard fought
against it. We believe that Mr.. Bayard
is Senator Hampton's favorite Presiden-
tial candidate" 1t makes no difference
whose votes removed the tax on matches.
The result has been that since the aboli-
tion of the tax, foreign matches have
been coming to this country in large
quantities, and now the consumer gets
four boxes for quarter where he only
got three before. This will be the result
on ALL or most Of the other articles our
people consume, when the tariff is taken
of Of them. 1t proves that protection
raiacs the price of goods to .ho consul
mer, whether he uses foreign or domestic
manufactures.

The Macon Telegraph and iMessenyer
advocates the nomination of Judge Field
for President by the Democrats next
year, and argues strongly in favorssof its
position. 1t saya of Judge Field.
"He is esteemed the soun iest and
strongest jurist on tina bench of the Su-
preme Court. His life has been filed
moral courage. He han never in any
way, been mixed up with the miserable
party struggles of late years. He Is q
man who commands the respect and con-
fldence Of the people of the United States.
The Democratic party coutains no stick
to him. It Is within the positive knowl-
edge Of the writer that his was the only
possible nomination dreaded by the lead
ers of the Republican party in the last
Presidential contest. We have reason to
know that Garfield had grave doubts as
to whether he could beat Judge Field,
and that these doubts were entertained
and expressed by more than one OF the
prominent leaders of the Republican
party"
There 10 no doubt that Judge Field
would be very strong candidate. He
was q War Democrat. and as such is
strong before the people of the North
and West. He was placed upon tho
Supreme Bench by President Lincoln,
and since the war ho has been Peace
Democrat, fssoripg the restoration of the
Constitution and government of law.
In short, he has always, in war and in
peace, been devoted to the Union of our
fathers. The Democratic party might
do great deal worse than to nominate
Judge Field.

The Augusta Chronicle and C5nStitu-

Is our contemporary not deciding the
canvass somewhat in advance in these
assertions? A proper enunciation of
Democratic faith upon the tariff, with &C.
ceptable nominations by the party, will,
in tho opinion of our shrewdest politi-
clans, not only hold what we have, but
it will gain other States now controlled

every one of the States named upon q
tariff for revenue platform. There is
nothing to indicate that we cannot carry
them again upon the same platform.
