SOUTH CAROLINA DEmooRACY

SOUTH CAROLINA DEMOCRACY.
 The other day the Republican executive committee of South Carolina asked Governor Richardson of that State to appoint at least one Republican commissioner of election in each county, thus insuring the appointment of one Republican manager for each voting precinct. Some of the reasons for such re- quest were given in the following preamble: Whereas, the whole election machinery, com- missioners of election, managers, clerks, etc., (with the exception of Georgetown county) being entirely in the hands of the dominant party of South Carolina, has been productive of the suppression of free vote and honest count: And whereas, by virtue of vastly preponderating number we think 1t would be but an act of simple justice and in the inter- est of fair, full and honest election that representation be granted to the Republican party: And whereas, in the Seventh congress sional district of South Carolina (known as the "Black district"), which was set apart by Democratic legislators for Republicans, but which has been invaded by the Democrats and an almost solemnly implied pledge broken, and the free will of it's electors stifed DJ tno pAtLlSau ACtlOnB OI DOAEOS OI GlcCLlOu officers composed entirely of Democrats.
 Governor Richardson was equal to the situa- tien. He declined to grant the reasonable request made of him. "In my judgment" he wrote, ''a departure from the wisely estab- lished methods and principles upon which these appointments are made would endanger the continuance of the perfectly free, fair and peaceful elections-the professed object of your desire-that are the proud boast and the highest achievement of Democratic rule in this State" Here's richness for you. AS the Hartford Courant points out, it is hardly two months ago since this same governor made a speech in the city of Charleston in which he adverted to the problem of the government of the oolored majority hy Democratic minority; said that the negroes, since the victory of the red shirt Democracy in 1S76 had "been kept under only by the eight-box law" expressed confidence that in time the mass of ignorance would be leavened with education; and then indulged in elo- quence as follows: "Never again in the hiss tory of this country, in all its life, shall Tim buctoo or Dahomey dominate this fair, this fruitful soil of ours"

 fsThe one I wish to marry must be between 16 and 20 years of age; she must have fine hair, fine teeth and beautiful little feet. She must be born of honest and good parents. She must dress elegantly, but plainly, in either silk or velvet, but no other materials. She shall be allowed music only if she be perfect in that art, it being tiresome to 1is~ ten to the bad performers who annoy visi- tors in so many houses. She shall be mis- tress ot the house in all domestic matters, and myself shall be happy to yield to her reasonable whims, being 8 great enemy to slavish obedience and submission, whence, in my opinion, all quarrels and discontent derive their origin, but she must accompany me in all my journeys and excursions, be cause it is, in my opinion, a shame that a in splendor at hotels, while his wife is left at home alone prey to ennui.

disturbed by inquisitive newcomers, to carry the plan into execution, and succeeded that night in conveying the gold to my skiff, where deposited it safely in two strong lockers which formed the seats ia the for- ward and stern ends of the boat. On the following morning, after effectually banking up the mouth of the drift, set out upon my voyage, which I accomplished in exactly three weeks, with but few unpleasant adven- fures during the trip. At New Orleans I sold my doubloons, receiving in exchange an the aggregate to $360, 600. Purchasing Eng fish, French, and German exchange with my money, took passage for Liverpool on the first European bound vessel, and, after sojourning while in my native town of Truro, determined on spending the rest of my days in wandering about the world, thus gratifying an ambition which had been my fondest dream from my early boyhood. !" The drift in which Stanhope found the Span- ish treasure was not discovered (the St. Louis Globe Democrat tells us) until 1876, when two Irish proprietors-one of them, Tom Shannon-broke into the cave, after several years of frnitless search for an "opening," and took out of it large for tune ins mineral. The chest which con- tained the doubloons secured by Stanhope bounded surprise and no little speculation as to how it got there.. The mystery has, of course, never been solved; but 1t is be- ieved by Stanhope that the chest of treas ure was stolen by some Of Do SotoFs sol diers at the time he discovered and ex- plored the Mississippi, and was secreted in the cave, the entrance to which had been blocked up by the alluvial deposits and changes of upward of 300 years.

THE CHAPTER OPENS.

The new year seems TO enter upon Its
career with determination to Guido the
old year In the horrible ohspter of acci-
dents, which chilled the blood OF all peo-
pies and hurried so many thousands out
OF existence during the twelve months
just closed. Yesterdays dispatches con-
tain accounts OF railroad disasters In
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky and Ten
nessee In these ofthree accidents several
lives were lost and In one OF them mail,
express and passenger coaches were
burned. Such osrelesses as this ap-
proaches very nearly grave criminallty.
The railway officials are re-
ticent and give little infor-
nation, but in the Kentucky
accident eleven persons are reported
killed and in the Pennsylvania accident
five, besides the much larger number
MANNED and crippled for life. 1t does
seem that railway signaling and railway
service should by this time have reached
perfection Of management that would
at least do away with danger from col
lision. The average mind cannot I'M
derstand why the working of trains can
not be effected so as to avoid all danger
to human life from the impossible
attempt Of two railway trains to pass
each other on single track while run
ming at q high rate Of speed. There is
but ors way to avoid these occurrences
and make railway travelling safe within
proper and reasonable limits, and that
is TO hold the railway management Grim
inslly as well as pecuniarily responsible
for all damages to person and property.
The OLD year closed its long catalogue
OF cHlamities with a fearful wind up.
More lives lost by fire, flood, famine and
violence than 10 any year known to the
historic annals, in which there was no
destructive war. The amount OF prop
erty destroyed beggsrs calculation. The
property can be spared, but the torture
to humanity caused by such accidents
as those recorded in yesterdays dis
patches is horrible and should be pre-
vented by all possible criminal and civil
restrictions.
