The County Redeemed.

The result of last Tuesdays Local cleo
ton will bring JOY to the hearts of all true
citizens of Charles county. The county
has at last been redeemed from the lie
grading thraldom put upon her by few
misguided men, and the 'ocal government
in its every branch is once more res ored
to the hands Of her repressn ative citizens
The victory is complete in every detail
and every candidate is cleo ed by such a
large and safe ma ority as to preclude any
apprehension Of a contested election. The
Democratic gains have been uniform
throughout the county, every district
showing decided change of sentiment.
| The causes which led to SO great and
decisive a victory will be found to be
several First, the excellent ticket placed
in the field by the Democrats commanded
the united support of the people and the
abe and aggressive campaign made b.
our standard bearers awakened deter
mined spirit among the people TO break
down the local misrule. Second, tue junto
called the republican party was in q con
siderable measure divided against itself,
in consequence of quarrel over the dis
tribution of the spoil. Third, many of
the colored voters had tired of the rule OF
their political m asters which had brought
no advantage to them; aud the indiffer,
ence on their part thu. created made them
more easily alienated by the influence Of
disaffected white republicans and the
white Democrats each one constr u,ei
himself com nittee Of one to undecieve
those people. \ OF these causes com
bined and other lesser causes, contributed
to the great and important result.
The important part the colored people
have done in redeeming the county should
net be forgotea and they should be re-
cognized in the appointment to the pub
lie service in so far as their capacity and
fitness permit, and in other ways, so that
they may see who are their real friends.
In regard to the few white men who
have availed themse yes of the ignorance
and credulity of the co ored voters to so
degrade and injure their native county we
need say nothing further at present. It
has been the aim and purpose of The TIM r
since it passed into the hands of is pre-
sent editorial management to expose the
true iniquity and selishness of these men
and as far as lay in is power to make
their schemes odious TO the people. IL
doing SO it has always avoided personal
| tiles and has never been actuated by any
personal hostility to any of them. Now
| that they are extraordinarily, as we
confidently be iieve-we shall direct our
energies toward helping to repair the mis-
chief they have done and advancing the
cause of good, honest, economical loca'
government and for them We have only
to say requiescat in pace.
The fruits of this victory are most i'm
portant and far reaching in their charac-
| ter. Not only will the administration OF
our local affairs by representative gentle
men who fully recognize their response
bility to the Taxpayers, bring about that
economy which the present depres.ei val
ue of agricultural productions 50 urgently
demands; but the representation of tie
county in the legislative councils of the
State by her best and most talented clti-
zens will be at this particular time OF in
caleulabls advantage. The effect of the
expulsion of that bad faction from power
will aIso do much toward increasing and
maintaining that amity and mutual con-
fdence between labor and capitalize
employers and the employed (Which is so
necessary to the prosperity and happiness
of a community.
Altogether the victory is most glorious
one and will bring gladness into the
hearts of all true citizens. The TINES
sends its congratulations to all its readers.
