millions of ex-slaves, represented
in their enforced degradation in
those barbarous days when not a
ray OF hope gllmmered on the
horizon of their vision, we advise
the HerzM to use It's influence
with the publishers Of Puck to Ce-
sist from giving any more such
pictures us that i'll question to show
the position which it is alleged
Gen. Logan occupied when acting
with the Democ attic party, an or
ganization of retrogresslon and
oppression, for his many heroic
deeds OF bravery and devotion TO
his country and freedom on the
bloody fields of the Democratic
shareholders rebellion, and the
bold stand he has taken In the
interest of liberty and civilization
since he dotted the bloody gar
menis of the hero and donned the
toga OF a statesman, endears him
to the heart of every "colo!ed man
and friend Of humanity in this
country, and fully condones for
all of his mistakes when Demo-
crat.
History, both sacred and pro-
fame, gives many instances of men
enlarged minds changing their
opinions, but we fail to find sin
gle instance wherein men Of mar
row intellects have ever changed.
"Ephraim is joined to his idols,
let him alone" Saul, before his
conversion, held the garments
of the men who stoned
Saint Stephen, thus consent
ing unto his death" and persecut-
ed the primitive Christians .:even
unto strange Cities" yet he, after
becoming convinced of the error
of his way, became the great
apostle of the Gentiles, and did
more to propagate the religion OF
the ''desplsed Nazarene" than any
other mans of his day, and as long
as tine endures his name, us St.
Paul, will be uttered with rever-
ence by millions of the sons and
daughters OF men who worship at
the shrine of Christianity, whilst
the names of those small men who
prosecuted this great and gooT%
man are already forgotten. ~

IN conclusion, it is our earnest

with all mankind, including even
those who held us in bonds, but
such scene us that produced in
the issue of Puck, which we are
discussing. puts the very devil i'll
us, and on looking upon it we felt
a spirit OF revenge rise in our
breast which took all of our better
nature TO suppress. In the inter-
est of peace and good will between
the races in this country, We sug-
gest that Puck make and exhibit
no more such cartoons as the one

Senator Hampton Is Mum.

A special from the White Sulphur
Springs to the Globe-Dsmocrat says {:
Senator Wade Hampton came in from
his trout fishing in the vicinity of Dag
gers Springs, but the taciturnity of the
angler was strong upon him. For day
he sat about the porches, giving nine
teuths of his time to the papers and the
remainder to monosyllabic conversation
with friends. He thinks the political
situation is puzzling and that it is too
early to foreIell the result in November.
Bayard was his choice at Chicago, and be
feels that the Democratic party would
have been in better shape at this stage OF
the canvass with the Delaware Senator
as the candidate. Looking from the
standpoint of the past, and with only
such information of present events as
infrequent access to the. newspapers
gives him, be sees no reason for the Re.
publicans counting upon carrying any
Southern State this fall. A day with
papers and people was epough for him,
and the next morning the Senator de.
parted early, in search Of new piscatorial
fields to conquer. He is now among the
pools of the Greenbrier river. His SON.
in. law, John c. Haskell, accompanies
him.

A Chicago dispatch states that the
great pork corner terminated Saturday,
and that Dir. Philip Armour's profits BY
the corner cannot be less than 50, 500 900.
The origin of the corner dates back to
the failure of Grant & Ward. At that
time New York speculators declared
there was no limit to the decline in all
sorts of values. Pork vas at SIG per
barrel. New York was particularly
anxious to sell pork, and it couldn't sell
it fast enough. Phil. Armour had his
cellar full of the property. He had hum
dreds of thousands of barrels, represent
ing millions of dollars, and to protect
his own interest be began buying against
New York's selling. In one day he took
in over 100000 barrels. New York, in
week or 80, began to suspect that sell.
ing short against Armour's buying might
prove disastrous business. Before the
situation dawned fully upon the minds of
short sellers, however, the market had
been sold short fully 100000 barrels. In
the meantime Armour had been COM
PEELED to take all the cash pork in the
country, and a good deal of it was
scraped up here and there, but he got the
major part at from SIG to S1S per barrel.
Suddenly the price began to advance.
The shorts were nervous, but they held
on. The figures rapidly climbed up to
500, then to $22, and, advancing fifty
cents day, were not long in reaching
$26, and finally $28. In the meantime a
good many shorts settled, but large
! short interest held out to the last, and
Friday let of 5000 barrels was settled
for. Saturday the last of them stepped
up to Armour's Office and settled their
differences. Mr.. Armour claims that no
one was injured by the corner except a
few New York and New Orleans gamb.
lers. The public, he claims, was bene-
fted by the prices being held up while
the impending decentralization to trade
was averted.

A Dangerous Man.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, September g.
In an interview this forenoon with q
Neus reporter Governor Hendricks was
asked, "What do you think will be the
result of the Butler canvass?" That il
very difficult to answer. Mr.. Butler is
unquestionably very dangerous man

large audiences, and were the election tc
occur to-day should be inclined To con
cede him considerable vote. But the
weakening process is going on steadily
The people do not like to throw their
votes away. 1t is certain that his elec'
tion is impossible under any circumstan
ces aud this will deter many of his ad-
mirers from voting for him. 1t is also
impossible for him to effect as perfect an
organization as is possessed by either OF
the old parties. But Mr.. Butler is re-
marksble man. and those who know hun
best admit that he is y very good one" "

We had presumed that the ignomini-
GUS conclusion of the Greenback iasco
two years ago would permanently dispose
of McLane, Russell, and the other
political cranks in this State. The un.
qualified 'ssitting down on" which they
received then was enough to have quieted
the most pertur6ed spirits, but it seems
that they were only making beginning
then on their march into the Republican
party, and that it was to be resumed at
this time. We have never doubted the
end of the men who have affiliated with
the Greenback movement in South
Carolina. There has been but ore of
two courses for them to pursue-either
to own they were wrong and come back
to the Democrats, or to go directly into
the Republican party. There is no mid
die ground. We had hoped that Mr.
Russell would pursue the former course.
We hsd no doubt that McLane and the
majority of the party would pursue the
latter. They naturally belong to the
Republicans-anl to the worst elements
of the Republicans-for they are sneak
log Republicans, who have not the man
hood to profess their principles, but wish
to pick up the crumbs which fall from
the Republican party. The action OF
their Convention in Columbia recently,
shows that we were right as to McLane
and his part of the company, but has
not verified our hopes as to Mr.. Russell.
We yet hope, however, that for his own
sake, and the sake of those who have a
claim upon him, that he will not 60 into
this new movement, but will promptly
decline the position Of Elector, and
refuse to follow the disreputable political
band which they are attempting to
associate him with. The party has
changed it, name, but not its principles.
1t is party of treason, Of strategy and
spoils. Its leaders are in sympathy with
the Republicans. They have no possi-
b:lity of success. The farce is ridicu-
lous one. They are, however, doing the
bidding Of the Republican party, and as
long as the money holds ont they will
continue id the field.

CONVENTION OF SNEAKS.
McLane Engineering an "Independent
Movement"

COLUMBIA, September "A shabby
campaign sheet in Charleston recently
printed the call for Convention of the
Independent party of South Carolina to
be held in Columbia on September 4, at
12 M, for the purpose of making Domi-
nations and transacting any other bust.
ness which might be deemed for the
party's good.
The call was sigued by j. Hendrix
McLane, chairman; and =. Barker Jones,
secretary. When the call was read peo.
ple wondered when this Independent
party had been formed and on what it
based its excuse for existing. There was
no doubt as to its purpose, the overturn.
ing of reputable government in the State
and the delivery of the States vote to
Blaine aud Logan.
This morning there was good deal Of
curiosity as to where the Convention was
to be held. No hall had been engaged
and the delegates did not make them
selves conspicuous.
differences drawn from the past history
of these Independent movements in South
Carolina led me to look for the delegates
in Republican quarters. On reaching
the revenue Office large section of the
Independent party was indeed discovered,
and the Independent party proved to be
only the Greenback party of 1882 much
reduced in strength and character. As
we'll as could judge all the decent and
misguided Greenbackers had fallen away
and not one man had been added to the
organization under its new name.

rati last week to attend the Grand
Council of the knights of the Golden
Rule, accompanied by bis son, Rowland,
about fourteen years old. On his return
they both divested themselves of some OF

Mr.. Thomson awoke and missed his sou.
His shoes we're in the place he pulled
them off. He searched through the
whole train, but could not ind him. He
took the first train he met and returned
to hunt him. After diligent search,
continued on several passing trains, he
found him on the track. 1t seems that
he walked off the train in his sleep. He
was considerably bruised, but no boaes
were broken. The train was moving
about forty miles an hour when he walk

The tax asked from the Townships in
Anderson County has been divided into
two annual installments, to be paid one
half this year aud one-half next year,
without interest or penalty on the second
payment. This will make the burden
very light, and if voted we believe our
people will have the road in running
order before the second payment is made.
It presents splendid opportunity which
the voters of the Townships named
should not miss. By voting this tax they
will get cheaper freights and enhance the
value of property all along the line.
