PUTNBY.

Blew Open the SAFE and Secured $50.
A burglary was committed at the depot
sometime during Thanksgiving night En-
trance was gained through the West win
dow of the passenger room by removing a
pane OF glass, thus enabling the burglar to
pass his arm inside and draw the window
fastening and raise the sash, Then the
door to the Office was forced open and the
safe blown open with dynamite. The safe
was completely demolished and about $50
taken. About $50 more that was hidden
by the debris of the demolished safe was
not taken, not being seen. An exit was
made through an outside door which was
opened by boring from the inside, appar-
entity for a quick escape in the event of
being surprised. No clue to the burglars.

If there are any colored men in this
State or Congressional district who have
ever thought it to be advisable to vote
with the Democrats. they are reminded
that nowhere else in the solid South are
they regarded by the Democrats as
having any political rights which a
white man is bound to respect. = After
the adoption of State Constitution that
practically disfranchised three-fourths
of the colored men in Mississippi, the
Democrats of South Carolina now come
gravely forward with rule prescribing
the status of what they are pleased to
describe as 1.-THE negro" The rule reads
thus Every negro applying for MEM
bership in Democratic primary cleo.
tion must produce the written statement
OF ten l10l reputable ,rhite men who shall
s,cear that they know of their own knowl-
edge that the applicant voted for Gener
al Hampton in 1876, and has voted the
Democrat ticket continuously since. +"
Every intelligent colored man can easily
determine, by little reflection, just
how many Democratic negroes " can
produce the testimony required of them
in order TO be permitted to cast a ballot
in South Carolina. To vote at all they
must vote the Democratic ticket. and to
do this he must prove by ten auliite men
that he has been Democrat continuous
ly since 1s76-a period of nearly sixteen
years.-lPest Tirqiaidn.

The Democratic party is responsible for
nearly the entire amount appropriated by
the billion dollar Congress, of which
they speak SO glibly. The refunding to
the States the amounts paid by them to
carry on the war against the Democrats
in the late rebellion, was a Democratic
debt. The S135. 200, 900 paid to the SOL
diers in pensions was debt made by the
Democratic party. 1t is debt making
but not debt paying party. The Dem
ocrats were out into the markets of the
world and lied Uncle Sam out of 66 cents
on the dollar when he was trying to raise
money to prevent the destruction of the
Union. They said the debt never could
and never would be paid, and the price
of gold raised to SO 80 in greenbacks.
which was equivalent to only thirty four
cents on the dollar. And in face of all
their deviltry in this matter they have
the gall to howl about the appropriations
made necessary to redeem public credit.

The President S message and the cor
respondence on the trouble with Chill
have created war fever in this country
1t is encouraging to see:
/. That the President is sustained in
his action by all parties.
2. That the course of Minister Egan
is approved and indicated.
3. That Chill offers to withdraw hel
offensive declarations and her demand
for Mr.. Egan's recall, and to submit the
settlement of all differences to a neutra
nation or to the Supreme Court of the
United States.
This should speedily settle the matter
peaceably and restore friendly relations
between the two countries.

GETTING TOO EXCITED.

The scene at Charles Town as described
by the Hagerstown Nal, of armed men
gathering at midnight, Winchesters
cleaning in the moonlight" the report
of revolvers, the signals of sentries, the
massing of troops against the peace
of the town and the dignity of the law,
is characteristic of Southern excitement
and violent extremes
Who were these men fighting against
with all their armaments and equip
ments,-a helpless prisoner, Certainly
it did not require all this force and am
munition to kill single man. Who else
did they want to shoot in that quiet,
peaceable, growing town? Not the peo-
pie they did no harm they were friends
and relatives of the assembled crowd.
Not the prison authorities Why muir
der them for doing their sworn duty.
Not the officers of the law and courts,
for certainly law and justice are admin
Istered in jefferson according to the
strictcst code, especially against those
helpless victims who have no friends
and no money, but have rendered them
selves obnoxious to public favor by pet
ty offences or outrageous crimes. Then
does it not seem that these excited peo-
pie with their war paint on made them
selves ridiculous. If they wanted to
hang the prisoner they could have done
e.
body to shoot but their own flesh and
blood. The newspapers are much to
blame. For few cents they can get up
a big excitement and violent feelings
which they are powerless to subdue, and
from the vengeance and violence of which
they are perfectly safe.
Why is it anyhow that the history of
the Southern people is stained with vio-
lence and bloodshed. In their civil his.
tory excitement and passion were always
on the edge of all proceedings. Men
clashed together on the slightest provo.
cation. Extremes were resorted to on
the spur of the moment in their legisla-
other respects they are peaceable, intel
ligent, hospitable, generous, but their hot
blood runs swiftest in the under current
and quickly foams on the surface. The
people of Mexico and South America
have the same trait,-setting up and
knocking down governments, excitable,
warlike. Follow their descent and you
trace them to Spain, France and the
South of Europe, where love and hate
and religion and every characteristic are
spasmodic and fanatical. Climate must
have shaped their natures, just as the
most ferocious animals are found in the
tropics and the less dangerous ill the
temperate zones. Keep cool, gentlemen !;
preserve the law, and help to perpetuate
the government of the people, by the
people, and perfect a more glorious civ
ilization for the coming century.

A close observer will note that in this
county the majority of the lawyers are
Democrats, the majority of the law bust
ness is by Democrats, the great majority
of the public sales are by Democrats, and
so on. The county being evenly divided
1t seems unaccountable unless we re-
fleet that before the war the land was
exclusively held by Southerners and
Democrats, and that from the war on the
greater part of the landed interests Of
the county has been in Democratic pos
session. The y boom promises to di
vide things up more evenly for the next
generation.
