Achieved Another Victory.
LONDON, Oct. 18.-Rumors are current at
Paris to the effect that the French have gained
another victory in Tonquin, and that 450 Chinese
fell in the engagement.
A Paris dispatch says the anti-ministerial
papers denounce the practice of the
French troops in Tonquin of taking
no prisoners and killing the wounded.
The Gaulois says the official defense that the
Chinese refuse quarter, can not justify the sol
diers of country pretending to be the advance
guard of civilization in making war like savages.

comparisons \may prove odious,
but we shall compare the MEssEN-

the people see for themselves. Our
paper is ''pucrilc in appearance"
Well, perhaps that it is; for then
there arc grounds for hoping that
at some day in the future it will
rise up in the "dignity Of it's
strength,' as regards both size
and matter, and present to the
public a manly "appearancc',
and a catholic minded platform.
Not one like that Of the "Argus,"
which is hemmed in by petty jcal-
ousies and prciudicial opinions, on
whose face there seems now to be
stamped in indelible colors the
picture Of old fogyism. We are
glad, our friend, that YOU realize
that something valuable is wrapt
up in small package; better that
way than to have a 2S-column pa
per to 90 out, with five columns of
news matter printed at home.
The ARGUS furthermore cues

many subscribers the ARGUS has,
but we will for the sake Of curiosi-
ty y,compare lists with this journal,
whenever good opportunity is
presented. Wewill say, however,
that at present we are nine months
old, and have about two hundred
more subscribers than the ARGUS
had when it was two years old.

doubtless get it. Many thanks

THE 'SALUDA ARGUS CRf3SS&Es()R
PEACE. ~

Will remember that in our issue Of
June 27th, we attacked the "Salu-
tia Argus on account Of an arti.
Gle which appeared in it's columns
regarding the Congressional can
didates Of the Third district. In
order that the whole matter might
be thoroughly understood. we refer
our readers again to the article
which appears in our issue Of the
27th, ultimO. and ask them to
couple it with what we now have
to say.
The "Argus' termed the candi-
dates for Congress. save Hon. ID.
Wyatt Aiken, as "political up
starts.' We meant to quote it as
calling them "upstarts;'' and left
offthc descriptive term "political.'
At our failure to SO qualify the
term, "upstarts,' the ARGUS calls
our attention to it. The prefxing
Of the word "political," however, to
the term ''upstarts,' in no wise ex-
cuscs the ARGUS from the base
and uncalled for slander. which it,
with unprecedented presumption,
dares to heap upon the heads Of
the other Congressional candi-
dates.
The idea Of having men like Col.
r. f. Bowen, Mai +. b. Murray
and Hon. Geo. Johnstone subject
ed to misrepresentation by an APP
parently narrowminded judge,
such as that Of the "Saluda Ar
gus is enough to provoke feelings
Of indignation on the part Of the
friends of these gentlemen. I'm
like the Argus, their rcputa-
tion as men Of influence and abil.
ity is not restricted to the mar
row territory in which they live
They have made for themselves
enviable regulations in the State,
and only need the opportunity,
which the biased editor Of the
Argus would withhold from
them, for establishing those repu-
tations throughout the vast do
main Of the American Republic.
But will our readers indulge us
while we attempt to answer the
Argus as regards our own case?
it starts out by giving a brief de-
scription Of the MESSENGER, re-
garding the place Of it's publica-
tion, and the nature Of the matter
which in part fills it's columns.
We quote it as saying: "The Eas-
ley Messenger, a newspaper rath-

ond choice, or else5a dark horse

celve the almost united support >of
the Convention. Nowas the News
says the democratic nomination
is really the election, and the peo
pie should have the opportunity to
control it. directly.'>,~ This. they
cannot do, on the plan Of a nomi-
mating Convention. IT is a hard
matter for forty-two men to ex-
press the individual wish of many
thousand voters. lis
If there was one candidate in
the field the plan Of nomintine him
by a convention would answer very
well. because he is supposed to be
the choice of the majority, But
where there are several candidates
tor the positions, our delegates
may not nominate the man, who
in a primary election would be the
'cholce Of the people. We rather
'thlnk that our candidate, Col. r.
f. Bowen, would be willing to
leave the election to the people at
large, and perhaps the other can
,didates would be of the same will
ingness Of mind, if such a plan
was proposed to them.
Now after the forty two sober
minded men get together in con-
vention, let them canvass this
subject thoroughly. If they think
that the interests Of the party
would be better subscrvcd bv the
primary system, after expressing
unalterabl y their choice in the con-
vention, let them order the clcc
tions for congressman in the differ
.ent counties. This change would
place the candidates directly be-
fore the great mass Of the people,
and the wish Of the majority of
the entire district would be better
recognized.
What have our people to say on
the subject?
