Could Not Give Bond.

BUTLER, Ga, Feb. 15.-Several OF
the officers recently elected by the pop
ulists in this county have failed to give
bond and have returned their commits
sions to Governor Atkinson. They
were G.. \. J. Pope Sheriff; y. B.
Peed. treasurer; J. L. Brewer. coro-
ner: B. H. Newsolne. surveyor. M.
Pope has held the place Of sheriff for
more than twenty years, under Demo
cratic rule, but two years ago he joined
the populists, and has heretofore had
10 trouble to make his bond. AL the
above were reelected except Mr.. Brc-
wer. 4 new election will be ordered
at an early date. Judge Colbert, Of
the county court. is to approve the
bonds offered by the officers, and they
lay it 10 his being a Democrat and the
populist's hatred for :he COUNT court
that he refuses to accept any BOND t!lat
does not come up to that prescribed
by law. Lively times are ahead.

Brayton's Speech.

In commenting c2 the speech of T..
N. Brayton in the recent Republican
State Convention, a gathering that
was called into existence by Brayton
himself, the Columbia Evening News
very truly says that this wild scheme
of desperate men to bring the negro
int o line will react on their own heads
The negro is staggering Ikea drunken
man on the brink of a precipice. He
will miss his footing and be hurled to
destruction before coming to his senses.
1t is pitiable spectacle. Brayton
made clear his intentions. He cher
shes the wish to revive the Republican
party, and hopes, of course, by coall-
istion to get power. What becomes Of
his ignornt followers he eneither knows
nor cares. Such speeches engender
bitterness in an otherwise peaceful
race. He and his aiders and abettors
may be charged justly with whatever
disasters overtake the negro. The
men who follow him will find they
reckon without their host. The Con-
servatives, we are sure, Will sprun
such an alliance. For such a speech
we mean his calling on the negro
preachers to arouse their people-he
would have been run out Of the coun~
try in 1876 and perhaps gone on the
single rail route. 1t need not be dis
cussed whether the negro has right
to act. As a practical everyday mat
ter, he is Matching trouble for himself; :;
his vote will not count, and he jeop-
ards the safety of his race. These
are plain, sober words, and we believe
voice the sentiments of nineteenth of
the Conservatives in the State. Bray
tons speech will be found in the pro
ceedings of the Republican State Cor
vention. which is published in this is.
sue. Hunt it up and read it. 1t will
make YOU think of 1876.

double back action stove came along
and sold them by the score. His

Then the $40 clock man came along

Then came the hedge fence man,

The ST. Matthews Shortage.

The Columbia State says Gov. Evans
has received from Dispcnsary Inspec-
tor Scruggs his report Of his investiga-
ton of the accounts OF the dispensary
at st. Matthews. He reports that the
total shortage is s2,2S2.S3. The bulk
of this amount falls on the State and
not on the county, as Governor Evans
thought. There is now due the State,
so Mr.. Scruggs reports, 50, 03S.3 SO. The
amount due the county on account OF
unpaid profits is only $24447. The
stock on hand at the dispensary as &C
counted on Monday By Mr.. Scruggs,
when he took charge of the dispensary.
was worth $1.516.l6 Dispenser Evans
has purchased from the State since the
reopening of the dispensaries in Au-
gust last, s6,2S9.14 worth Of liquors,
and the total stock carried since the re-
opening amounted to 81, ,550.19
Governor Evans now believes that
the shortage has been accumulating
for some time, and he thinks that there
must have been something misleading
about the reports or the shortage would
have been discovered long ago. Gov
ernor Evans has already forwarded
all the necessary papers and instruc-
tions to the attorneys in Orangeburg
representing the State and he says the
State will lose nothing and Dispenser
Evans will be made to suffer
Governor Evans says this should be
warning to other dispensers. He
says that all dispensers and all others
connected with the system might as
we'll understand that the States busi-
ness is not thing to be ''monkeyed
with" He says he intends to SHOW
absolutely no leniency with any one
in such matter where States money
is involved.
Governor Evans had Mr. Dukes,
one Of the members ofthe Orangeburg
county board of control in Columbia
and went over with him the entire
matter of the shortage of Dispenser
Evans of St. Matthews The members
of the board, it seems, had divided up
the dispensaries in the county, so that
one incumbent could look after certain
ones .only. Mr.. Dukes could not un-
dcrstand how Mr.. Evans managed to
make such a shortage, as he had noted
nothing wrong during his periodical
visits

Tie SI:ick s:ist. Once Morn.

Cnder the above captain the News
and Courier OF last " ednes(lav had a
most timely editorial. which Nc COM
ment TO the attentive pcrls;,i o. all
white men. Our cotcn. poH;lrE says. N
speaking of the recent Republican
Convention. III the division Of the
white people Of this State The i;epub!i-
can leaders sec their opportunity and
they Lavc been quick to seize it. TIE
address which they have sent out is
plausible and adroit. it is calculated
at once to arouse the negro and pull
the white man into O. false sense of
security Its statement OF the race
situation rs an element of the political
problem is rs ingenious Us it Is f;iiia-
cious. The Republican address rep
resents the colored people as tue patent
recipients of all mannerof wrongsat
the hands of the white people, who are
charged with breaking. faith with them
and depriving them of their civil
rights, and with the intent to render
them ever after powerless TO assert
those rights, yet tAereis declared to be
no attempt to overthrow white supre-
macy, no Republican or colored candl-
dates are put forward, but the Republi-
cans, nine hundred and ninety-nine
thousandths of whom are colored, are
advised to vote for those white men
whom they can best trust. Now, We
take it that the intelligent white peo-
pie of this State have no desire to I'M
pose upon the negroes. nor do they
wonder that the colored people should
look at the Constitutional Convention
from racial standpoint and seek to
accomplish what they think best for
their race. But the white people must
be permitted likewise to look at it
from racial standpoint and be eX-
pected to do what they think best for
the white race. VIII it be best from
that point Of veiw that the delegates
to the Constitutional Convention owe
their election exclusively to white
men, or that they shall owe it to white
men aided by negroes? Can any white
man hesitate as to the answer! Are
all or amajority Of the white people
of South Carolina ready to rally round
the polls, check by jowl vita our col
orcd fellow-citizens. on a footing OF
perfect equality, and choose the best
men for the Convention, regardless of
color or political prejudice? Certain
" not. However desirable such q
political millennium may be from q
purely abstract point of view. it does
not exist. This election must be either
the white man on one side and the
negro on the other, or some white men
on one side and the negroes and some
white men on the other IN the lat
ter case what will be the result: In
our humble opinion the white men
who have negro allies will be beaten
out of their boots. But supposing that
the white men and their negro allies
should win. What then! Would
there ever be peace in South Carolina
with a party in power that depends on
the negroes for its majority? 1t IS an
ugly dilmma, but we had as well face
it once for all. Let the Convention
be white mans Convention
| out and out, elected and supported by
the white people of the State. We
can trust white men to do right by
their inferior race, but we cannot
trust the inferior race with power
over the white man.

Assuming, however, that the attitude of
venezuela will remain unchanged, the dis
pute has reached such a Stage as to make IL
now incumbent upon the United States to
take measures 10 determine with sufficient
certainty for its justification what is the true
divisional line between the republic of Vene-
zuela and British Guiana. The inquiry TO
carefully and judicially, aud due weight
should be given 10 all available evidence,

In order that such An examination should
be prosecuted in thorough and satisfactory
manner, sugge that the Congress make an
adequate appropriation for the expenses of a
commission to be appointe ted by the executive,
who shall make The necessary investigation
and report upon the matter with the least
possible delay. When such report 10 made
and accepted, it will, in my opinion, be the
duty Of the United States TO resist, by every
means in its power, as willful aggression
upon It's rights aad interests, the appropria-
ton by Great Britain of any lands, or the
exercise of Cover nmental Jurisdiction over
any territory which, after Investigation, we
have determined of right belong to Vene-
zuela.

fully alive TO the responsibility incurred and
keenly realize all the consequences that may

am, nevertheless, firm in my conviction
that while ii is a grievous thing to contem-
plate the two great English speaking peoples
o! the world as being otherwise than friendly
competitors 10 the onward march Of civiliza-
ton and strenuous and worthy rivals in all
the arts of peace, there Is no calamity which
great nation can invite which equals that
which follows supine submission to wrong
and injustice and the consequent loss of ma
tional self-respect and honor beneath which
is shielded and defended peoples safety and
