The Black District.

In regard to the policy of running a
Democratic candidate for Congress
against Smalls in the Black District,
which policy it remarks is advocated by
the Palmetto Post and Kershaw Gazette,
and is reported to have been favored by
the general sentiment of the State Exec.
utive Committee at its meeting held in
July, the Georgetown Enquirer says:
IF the people of the various counties
composing the Black District are oppos.
ed to the nomination of q Democratic
candidate for Congress, we do not think
the committee has any right to force
them into the fight. We are inclined to
think that the vast preponderance OF
opinion in this District is hostile to such
q course. An estimate of the voting
population of the Seventh District on
the basis of one voter to four and half
inhabitants places the white vote at
1000 and the colored vote at 81 900. In
the face of such tremendous odds as these
it is folly to speak of carrying the district
for the Democracy by any legitimate
means. If the plan cannot be shown to
offer reasonable prospect OF success 1t
would be worse than useless to involve
our people in the expense and trouble
which such contest necessarily implies.
When the State was redistricted in 1882
it was universally conceded, as the name
of the district implies, that it would al
ways be an impregnable Republican
stronghold. Nothing has occurred since
that time to change the situation" The
Enquirer adds that the Sumter Watchnan
and Southron takes the same view of the
matter, and that the Berkeley Gazette,
while occupying practically the salne
ground, suggests that the Democrats
should give their support to the most
respectable colored candidate, being
satisfied that such men as s. J. Lee, Tom
Hamilton and Bruce H. Williams could
bring out the entire white vote of the
district.

The Democratic and Greenback State
central committees of Iowa have held
secret session and decided to make a
fusion on the electoral ticket, the Green.
hackers taking six and the Democrats
seven Of the candidates for electors.
This action Of the Democrats of Iowa
deserves defeat for them. There is no
); principle in combining With the advo..
Gates Of Butlerism in order to divide q
State vote in the electoral college. For
tunately these fasions will not occur in
any STATE in which the Democrats have
any chance of yictory4r Us .s

A GREENBACKER TALKS.

The Pickeus Sentinel, of last week,
says:
"Mr, w. W. Russell, the greenbaek
leader in this section of the State, was
in town last Monday. In conversation
with us he stated that he was tor Blaine
for President, and in favor of the protec-
ton policy of the Republican party. He
expressed satisfaction at the nomination
of Col. Aiken for Congress from this
District, and said he had written him
letter Of congrstulatioD, in which he
promised him his support in the election.
BE said they would nominate no candi-
date in opposition to Aiken, nor to any
of the other Democratic candidates for
Congress in the State, except in the 9th
District. where candidate would be put
in opposition to Hemphill, but who the
man would be he did not at this time
know. but he was certain it would not be
Cash. He informed US, however, that he
had never registered, and consequently,
could not vote for anyone. 80 Blame
will be short one vote, at least, in South
Carolina, on account of the registration
law"
This would put Mr. Russell in the
Republican party, for as Greenbacker
he would have to support Gen. Butler.
Two years ago we pointed out the fact
that all independent movements in the
South tended to the Republican party,
and here we have the proof Of it. We
take the liberty, however, of saying that
We have no idea that NJ. Russell is going
into the Republican party. He made a
grave mistake in 1882 by going into the
Greenback movement, and is reluctant to
admit it so soon, but he does not legiti'
mately belong to the Republicans. he
ought to join his old Democratic CLUB
and get back to first principles. After
he thinks the present canvass over care
fully, we have no doubt that he will favor
the Democratic nominees in both Nation
al and State politics. This is a good
time for him to correct his former error,
and we do not believe that he will 80 far
lose it as to commit still greater error

The canvass before the primary cleo.
ton in Anderson County is shout over,
and in our opinion has been conducted
entirely upon settled issues, to the exclu-
sion of more valuable topics of discussion
before the people. We do NOT mean to
take sides between the candidates person
ally in this or any article which bas ap-
peared in the INTELL1GENcER, for we have
friends in the race who take different
views of the University and Canal ap.
preparation. The influence of the INTEL
L1aENcES has been used to prevent the
canvass from being taken up with these
issues, but the candidates have seen fit
largely to confne themselves to them.
We hope, however, that the voters of the
County will not be controlled by the
views of any man, on these matters, but
select the four best men who are named
for the position. 1t must be remembered
that the men who represent Anderson
County viii. have to vote on-all questions
that come before the Legislature. They
might vote TO suit the people on the
University and the Canal, but at the
same time vote contrary to the wishes Of
the County on all other important mat
ters. These are the questions that have
been discussed. No one knows, however,
how they would vote upon a bill to pun
ish the violation of agricultural contracts,
or bill to complete the State House, or
to refund the State debt, or to improve
our methods of collecting taxes and
assessing property, or to improve our
road law, or to put County convicts to
work upon our roads and streets, or to
provide system by which our taxes
could be collected in the Fall, thereby
saving the FIVE per cent penalty and the
trouble of the Spring collection, or to
employ the convict labor of the State to
deyelope our material resources by work.
ing upon public enterprises, instead Of
enriching private persons by hiring them
to individuals to compete with honest
labor, or upon propositions to raise the
salaries of our public officers, or to enact
a prohibition law, or to repeal the rail
road law, or any other matter of equal
importance. Our people, therefore,
must see that it is folly to elect any man
because he win vote yes or no upon any
two measures. Our interests are too
great to be thus staked on single ques'
tions. The interests Of our County de-
mand that We send the men who will
best represent us on all questions, and 1t
is dwar6ng the issue to endeavor to make
it turn on one or two measures-partlcu-
larly to let it rest on two measures which
are definitely settled and cannot be al
tered, no matter how our delegates vote.
Our people, we are sure, will not commit
such mistake as to elect men simply on
these issues, but will select the four men
who can best represent them on all
questions. Such Representatives should
be honest, intelligent, progressive men.
We believe any Of the candidates before
the people will make faithful Represen-
tatiyes. Our only desire is that the Sc.
lection shall be made on the merits of
the men and not on any views that they
may have upon two settled issues.

A dispatch from Augusta, Maine,
says: - !,
a5 The Kennebec journal to morrow will
! say: aMuch feeling has been excited in
this community by. an event OF extraor-
j 1inary character. In. The we'll known
cametary. lot Of the Stanwood family an
infant SON Of Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine lies
!. buried. The child died in July, 1854,
i and its resting place Is marked Dy q
{ beautiful memorial 'of. marble, erected in

d death were plainly inscribed in raised
tlattars. About two weeks ago it was

mate friend of the Blaine family placed

it is believed clue has been found In

of the memorial q person whose name is

sent to newspapers in various parts OF

idotiye fot this act of vandalism is SCARCE
lyapparent. There is CREST indignation
among all classes of people over the
sacriligious act"
This desecration cannot be charged to
political motives, for it is an act Of van
daiism which could not possibly benefit
any opposing party to Mr.. Blaine. In
ssyiew of the scandal recently published
against Mr.. Blaine it is unfortunate that
the date referred to should have been
chiseled away, for it might be Of impor-
tance to him to have the date authenti-
Gated by the monument. It could not be
of any value to his political opponents to
erase the date, while ismight be desirable.
for MI. Blaine TO hsis it suppressed. 1t
viii not, therefore, do for Mr.. Blaine to
pose as persecuted man in tais way, for
it is not in the line of human action for
his political enemies to have indulged in
such a dastardly action. 1t is more
probable that some party friend has done
:sit to arouse sympathy for Mr.. Blaine,
or for some other purpose.

the accident occurred but Patrick Kelly
and five of his comrades named Mcguire,
Shorddel, Dillon, Welsh and Connors
were imprisoned in the submarine cham
Der.
The caisson is larger than any of the
others sunk for the bridge. 1t Is sixty
feet long and f.rty feet in width, and
at the time of tn accident was sixty feet
below the surface of the water. The
entrance to the caisson proper Is made
through perpendicular iron pipe which
is divided into locks. The working
chamber, which is brilliantly lighted
with electricity, is reached rough these
locks, each lock being protected by
gate. At the time of the accident the
men were working 10 the chamber
under p essure of $50 pounds of air,
aud when tn locks flooded the only en-
trance or exit was cut off
The air apparatus, however, continued
to Nork, which was their only salvation,
and they remained in that condition until
rescued by the ingenious superintendent,
John O'Brien, who conceived an idea
about eleven O'Clock and quickly put 1T
into practice. The outer lock was five
which was fifteen feet deep, wa1 full OF
water.
Mir. 0'Brien made t lse lock of
boards and caulked it with oakum and
cement; then bailed out the water, de-
scended and raised the flooded / ok,
bailed that out, and in company with
John Burns, descended through their
rudely constructed pipe and scued tn
six men who had for hours been in such
perllous situation.
The rescued men were pale, haggard
and muddy, but with the exception of
one whose head was cut by falling
spike were uninjured. This act OF
Messrs. O'Brien and Burns was loudly
applauded, and will not soon be forgot
ten, as it required great nerve to carry it
out.
