convention last week Is the most fool.

The platform adopted by them was dc.

General Garfield. who. on the 10th o.
October, 1873. spoke as follows in the
House Of Representatives : II want to
say another thing. The man who
attempts TO get up a political excitement
in this country on the old sectional
issues will find himself without party
and without support. The man who
wants to serve his country must pui
himself in the line Of its leading thought
and that is the restoration Of business,

"Without party and without sup.

No Likelihood That the Democratic Party
WIN Commit Suicide.
After their recent Presidential defeat
the Republicans eased their minds with
the consolatory assumption that all that
was necessary to insure the destruction
Of the Democratic party was TO give i
plenty Of rope with which il would inn
mediately proceed to hang Itself They
believed that this sclf-exccution would
begin with such : factious and disor-
DERBY scra nble for the Offices as would
disgust the people and make them 70
greet that they had put the Republicans
out Of power. They were sure that the
late confederates would BE- gwen such
preponderat ny influence in the Govern
ment that they would have the CHIEF
control Of its administration and revive
the cmbcrs Of sectional feeling. The
anticipation was confidently and fondly
entertained that some administrative
blunder or act If financial folly as the
initial measure of the Democratic pol
icy would prove the Democracy's inca
pacty to govern the country. IL was
in this way the Republicans expected
that the Democrats would use the rope
given them in efIectnally and ignomin-
iOusly gibbcting their party.
But BY this time they must be getting
discouraged over the tardy realization
Of their benevolent expectations. 20
far there has been no suicidal DISPOSE
ton shown on the part Of their oppo-
nents- The disgraceful rush for the
offices has not taken place rs predicted;
but. rather, the impudent disposition 81
Republican officials to hold on To the
public tcat Is borne bv the Democrats
with remarkable patience. The late
confederqtcs are assuming no prom
inence except in the desire 70 promote
the cause OF good aud honest govern
ment. The movements Of the Admin
istration are being marked BY prudent
moderation and constitutional tonsery-
atism, and determination TO reform
abuses, that have already won the con-
iidencc Of the people. This has been
shown BY recent popular expressions

lishcd itself firmly in the confidence 2

have been able 10 carry Michigan by p
decided a majority, or 10 have reversed
the Republican majority in Wilmington

doings of white Regulators IN Fairfield

Last July the Regulators. comp l>cd of the

family named Fay NIc> on" "t the daughters
living opcuIA with 4 negro man. Two
others kept a d~rcrula L. house for ne

them to leave the county in ten DAYS.
BaNic> begged To Ic allowed 10 harvest his
crop and, Oh account Of his family he
was given leave 10 do so; but in the can
time he original order being dlsobcyed
the Regulators gave the family another
whipping.
Next the Regulators visited parties be
tween l,ido,way and WinnsborO, and
whipped them badly Lloyd Davis. who
has a negro mistress was next visited. He
got away. HIS household furniture was
badly broken up, and his colorcd family
warned to quit Tom Davis, the richest
merchant in Ridgeway, reported worth
$40, 600, was giv, II ten days notice to quit,
because he ha | a negro mistress and fam
lily. He left his business in the hands Of
his clerks and put out for Mississippi
Boss williams, living on the other side of
RldgeWay with :. negro woman, was visit
ed, and showed fight; but was severely
whipped, was his mistress, and ordered
to leave About ten families all mixed
have felt the power of the Regulators so
far.
The excuse the Regulators give is that
the Grand Jury does not take cognzance
of those living in open adultry because it
is so hard to prove the existence of such
facts. The people could not be reached
by law, and SO it was determined to reach
them outside of the law The chief often
ders, whether warned or not, are breaking
up their establishments and leaving, and
fear of exposure and punishment prevails.
The Regulators disguise themselves, while
visiting, by covering their faces with
cloths. No weapons but hickory switches
have been used.
