The Charleston Riot. h k h Durine the entire forenoon yester- day Broad street, froi the court 1 house to East Bay, was filled by a crowd of anxious citizens, eagerly a awaiting additional news about the b national and State elections. As each a dispatch came in and was bulletined, sl they would give a round of cheers, E and when it finally became tolerably s, certain that Hampton had carried the State, despite the negro repeating in t] Charleston, their enthusiasm was un- n bounded. In the meantime the ex- 1( deputy sheriffs and Lluakidori bullies 0 had assembled to the nuuiber of about r 300 or 400 at the court house. They t4 seemed to be despondent over the v news, until about 3 o'clock, when p Worthington, Mackey and Buttz gave s out a dispatch saying that Hayes and P Wheeler were elected, and that Chan- berlain had carried the State by 16,- P 000 majority. Then they fired up e and seemed to be ready for a ro.v. o About half-past 3 o'clock there was c a disturbance in Meeting street oppo- r site the Charleston Hotel, caused by F the insolence of a negro to a white d man. A squad of policemen were at d once despatched to the scene and suc- a ceeded in restoring quiet. By this 3 time the court house mob had, so to ii say, become red-hot. They were evi- v dently mad at the election returns, v which their leaders knew meant "go home" for the carpet-baggers and back seats for renegade Carolinians- r About 4 o'clock Mr. E. W. M. Mac- I key came down Broad street and be- c gan to boast about the election of I Hayes and Chamberlain. This pro- voked a discussion, which finally led to a. quarrel, during which a young man fired his pistol accidentally in t the air. A negro immediately rushed down to the ex deputy sheriffs at the court house, nearly all of whom were armed, both with pistols and blud- geons, and announced that Mackey , had been shot. The crowd immedi- ately raised a yell and rushed down f Broad street. The whites stood their ground and 0 received the attack firmly. Another pistol shot was fired, and then a dozen in rapid succession. The black mob r stampeded, and retreated in the di- rection of Church street. where they j were met by a squad of policemen who had been sent to the scene upon the first report. The rioters emptied their revolvers while running, and then those who, did not have their j bludgeons with them tore down tree 1 boxes and paling fences and armed i themselves at once. The police force with their Winchester rifles for the most part discharged their duty as well as they could under the circum- stances. They brought in a number of prisonet's and several of the wound- *ed, but in order to do so they had to brandish their pistols and rifles. Very few of them fired. When the crowd reached the corner of Broad and Meet- s ing streets the negroes were much ex- cited. Some of them rushed to the e places where they had their arms cou- cealed. Others went home. A large number of the Hunkidori rowdies made a dash at the main entrance of the station house and tried to force c their way in, shouting "Give us Guns !"t Chief Hendricks had taken the precaution, however, of stationing a couple of men at the door, who, with their bayonets, managed to keep the i crowd back. In the meanwhile a pis- tol was fired by a negro at a white '] mau, and this was a signal for a gen- f eral volley. The few white men who S were in the vicinity, as soon as the C negroes began firing, drew their re- t volvers and returned the fire. The c police were powerless to stop the dis- d turbance. Every negro fired his pis- tol at every white man he saw, and1 after he had emptied his weapon re- treated to reload. It was in this fight that Mr. E. H. Waiter was killed and Mr. Geo. H. Walter, one of the old- est and most respectable merchants of Charleston, was painfully wounded. Neither of them fired a shot , neither~ of them drew a revolver, and it is not t known that either of them had a pis- v tol on his person. They were both C shot down in cold blood, because of I their faces being white. Mr. E. H.~ Walter was killed instantly, the ball 1 passing entirely through his chest from left to right. Mr. Geo. H. Wal- v ter, his father, was shot in the left a breast near the shoulder. The fusil- I lades at the corner of Broad and Meet- ? ing streets was kept up fully ten mini-r utes. a In the meantime the whites had a begun to rally. They all reported at c once to the station house with their ' rifies, and by the time the United r States troops,~who were sent for. had~ arrived, there were about five hun- dred white citizens, who had volun- teered to act as special police. Gen. Hunt, commanding the United States troops, had a conference with Chief Hendricks, and a squad of colored 3 policemen, backed by a number of white volunteers, were sent out to qjuell the disturbance, while the .rest were kept under arms in front of the 5 main station house. About 5 o'clock, Company E, of the 5th Artillery, ' Major Kenze, and Company B, of the C 1st Artillery, Major R. T. Frank, ar- rived at the station house. The citi- zen police were ordered to fall in ina the rear of the soldiers. The negroes e by this time had all disappeared, ex- I cept in certain localities. In the bend 2j of King street, near Market street, I about 200 of them had assembled with P their muskets, and no white faces be- 1 ing in sight, amused themselves with firing in the air and smashing the windows of the stores. A part of the same crowd occupied Robb's lot, fir- ing upon and clubbing white men who chanced to pass.f Private Remke, of Company E, 5th i Unte~Sates. Artllr while walking a ')use. A negro man named Marcus reen was brought in wounded in the 'g. He was also drunk. Upon being lid upon the floor. and while the sur- eon was attending to his wound. the vage would rise up in a sitting posture nd exclaim: "Lemine kill one more, efore I die. Lemine shoot one white ian more." He was painfully but not riously wounded. Buttz and Worthington were in *ttz's house in Broad street, and were en to pass -out ridies to the mob. It seems to be the general impression iat Mr. Walter was killed by a police- ian. Mr. E. W. Walter makes the fol- )wing statement relative to the shooting Mr. E. H. Walter, his brother: While -turning from dinner in company with ies'srs. C. F. Hard, Captain G. H. Wal- r, E. H. Walter and W. J. MeCormack, re were attacked in Meeting street, op- oite the city park, by a mob of ne- roes, who commenced firing upon the artv. The fire was returned by us in ,lf-defense, and the firing from the iob continued until a squad of negro olice came out, and from the northeast rner of Meeting and Broad streets, pened fire upon the party with Win- bester rifles. The gentlemen then took fuge behind tree boxes, and a black oliceman got behind a tree box and eliberately took aim and fired at Mr. . H. Walter, killing him almost imme- iately. The same negro policeman gain fired upon Mr. E. W. Walter and Ir. C. F. Hard,several of the balls bury- ig themselves in the tree box behind rbich they stood. Capt. Geo. H. Waiter 7as shot through the left breast by the egro mob, who still kept up their ring. The firing from the negro police ontinued until Captain Hendricks ar- ived, and under his protection the dead ody of Mr. E. H. Walter and the rest fthe party were conveyed to the station Louse. 11ST OF CASUALTIES. Whites. Mr. E. H. Walter, shot through the reast; dead. Mr. Geo. H.

GRENF.TER, ED S W. II. WALLACE,TO NEWBERRY. S. C. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 15, 1876. A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. The Herald is in the highest respect a Fam- ily Newspaper, devoted to the material in- terests of the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad- vantages. For Terms, see first page. The Democrats have filed a protest against the election in Newberry County, on the grounds of fraud and illegality. The Democratic County Convention has jtist assembled to-day (Tuesday) as we go to press. The Democrats have elepted five Circuit Solicitors, viz: in the 4th Circuit, W. W. Sellers; 5th, Jno. R. Abney; 6th, T. C. Gaston; 7th, B. W. Ball; 8th, Joo. S. Cothran. From what we have been able to learn we feel confident of the election of Tilden and Hampton both. Hamp- ton has undoubtedly been elected. There is no use ;n being uneasy about State Canvassers and such matters; the Democrats are not going to be cheated out of this election. "Starvation Resolutions." That is the name the Radicals give to the resolutions passed by the mer- chants of N4ewberry. A large majori- ty of the colored people of this Coun- ty voted at the late election what may fitly be called the starvation ticket. They Elected by their ballots, aided by fraud and intimidation, the worst set of men that ever disgraced the County offices. They voted against every in- terest of the County. They voted de- fiantly and in most cases maliciously. They have shown themselves the ene iies of the merchants and planters, upon whom they depend tor positions and support. The Democrats have declared almost unanimously that they would show no favors to those who should vote against their interests at the 1ate election, and would regard with special favor all w'ho should vote for honest government. Now, what will be the result of such resolutions and declarations ? Will they be car- ried out ? These are questions that are now causing no little concern. So far as our own individual interests are concerned, we can afford to carry ott the resolutions without much trouble and inconvenience. Our business is of such a nature as not to be affected very materially by them one way or the other. Upon the werchants and the farmers rests the burden of the matter, and we do not feel that we have a right to offer -any advice on the sub ject. But we are free to say this much: the colored men who voted with us ought to be treated -and of course will be treated-with the very kindest consideration. Both j ustice and policy demand it. They have acted the part of friends towards us in our time of need. They deserve as much credit as if we had succeeded. He who does his best acts nobly. Justice, therefore, demands that pre- ference should invariably be given to them. Besides, those colored men are watching; they are going to see how the Democrats fulfill their promises. Suppose they are put upon the same footing and left to the same chanees as Radical supporters, where will they stand when another election comes round ? Can anybody doubt ? They have encountered- the most violent opposition in taking the manly stand they have taken ; gond if no advan- tages whatever accrue to them there- by they will not take it again. Policy, therefore, demands that the Democrats should give preference to them. But what about those who supported our eneies ? They have perpetuated mis- rule and corruption in the county ; they have sunk the county infinitely lower than it has ever gone before. They have brought us to greater suf- fering ; and we do say that they should be made to suffer first, and to reap the just reward of their own folly and hate. Some Radical office-holder may raise his sanctimonious voice against what he calls such unfeeling measures; if so, let him come to the help of his friends. It is high time the people of the County and State were feeling for themselves now. If they ao not adopt some measures for their deliver- ance, they had as well be in Liberia at once, or in the black republic of Hayti. No government at all would be far preferable to the incompetent, corrupt and tyrannical. government we have been living under for the last aeo-ht t.ears. Newberry Fought Nobly. Let no man say that Newberry County did not do hcr* duty in the late campaign and election, for she did nobly. Look at the facts and figures. See what she has done : In 1870 Scott's majority in the County was 1,270; in 1872 Moses' majority was 1,831 ; in 1874 Chomberlain's majority was 1,705; in 1876 Cham. berlain's majority was 565. New- berry has therefore reduced the Radi- cal majority 1,140 within the last two years. In the number of voters she is an exact average, or so nearly an aver- age as to be practically exact. The whole State vote in 1874 was 149,221; there are 32 counties in the State; that would give an average vote to each county of 4,663. The vote of Newberry County in 1874 was 4,657, almost an exact average. Suppose every county in the State had reduced the Radical majority 1,140, as New- berry did, the whole reduction would have been 36,480. Chamberlain's majority in 1874 was only 11,585; that taken from 36,480 would leave 24.895 for Hampton's majority in 1876. But we must make allowance for those counties where Green got a majority then and Chamberlain gets it now. Charleston, Clarendon and Sumter, the only counties that gave Green more votes in 1874 than they gave Hampton in 1876. aggregate a Green majority of 7,157, which taken from 24,895 leaves 17,738. That majority at least would have been given for Hampton on the 7th of November, if every county in the State had done as much as Newberry did. Of course, we should have been better sa.,isfied if Newberry had gone Democratic throughout, but we ought to feel proud for what she has done. In maaing the above statement, there is no inten- tion to take away one particle of credit from the work of any other county; but only an attempt to convince our people that their labors have not been thrown away. Our neighbors of Laurens were more successful than we; they made a gain of 2.238 votes-a tremendous gain; but they did not have the diffi- culties to contend against that we had here. Laurens has done nobly, as well as Newberry. "Demoralizationl." We hear much and read a great deal in the papers about the demoral- izig effects of the late campaign. This we firmly believe is a mistake. There are always people ready to croak and find fault ; to look on the dark side of everything. What the demoralization co'osists in nobody pre- sumes to say. Have the people grown more wicked ? Have the good people lost their religion ? Have the bad people grown worse ? We do not hesitate to say that the man who lost his religion or morality, or any part of it, in the campaign had precious little to lose. So far from the campaign having had a demoralizing tendancy. its effect has been just the opposite, according to our experience and obser- vation. We are not going to believe, without very strong evidence, that men engaged in such an earnest, no- ble effort as has occupied the minds of South Carolinians since the campaign egan, will suffer in character. Men do not lose good principles while sup- porting a good cause. It is not the man who is strugg'ing for better things that fails or degens.rates, but the idler and the coward, who are too indolent or too timid to make a wauly effort. The camrpaign has been a serious one, conducted by serious, sober minds. It was a determined struggle for life and liberty. All other objects were, of necessity, left in the back- ground for the time being. The good people of the State and County laid aside all other considerations, and said like St. Paul, "This one thing we do" -redeem the State. Let us hear no more of demoraliza tion about the3 election. South Caro- linians are better men by it. We are mgoig to have a better time every way, and everybody is going to be good from this time forth. The Public Schools. This is a matter in which the poor people, black and white, are profound- ly interested. It was on this very plea that many colored men were in- duced to quit the Republican party. That party has failed in this matter most egregiously. The officials who handled the money appropriated to this purpose, appropriated a large por- tion of it to their own use, or to the use of the party. There are strong reasons to believe that a large portion of the school fund was used for camn- paign purposPs this year. Now, every man should make it his duty to watch this matter. It is the poor man's 'interest and should be conduced for his benefit. We shall have something to say on this subject soon. We re- 'gard it as of the highest importance. -I Capital and Labor. What Newberry needs now, more than anything else, is some sort of en- terprise or establishment that will fur- nish support to her poorer classes. There is a large number of persons, male and female, in the town and County, who need employment. They are willing to work, but inany of them have not the work to do. We have never felt the conflict between laboi and capital here as it is felt in the populous and wealthy cities of the North. But as wealth and populatiou iucrease, this conflict is bound tc arise, and we should be getting ready to meet it. What are wealthy mea to do with their capital? What arE poor men to do with their labor i These are questions that our leadino citizens ought to set about to solve. Some enterprise should be inaugurated at once to utilize, in the best possiblE way, both the capital and labor of oui people. An Act was passed by th( Legislature of 1872-3, incorporatino the Newberry Cotton Mills. We arE unable to say what has become of that enterprise; but hope the matter may be revived soon, and that somethinc will be done in that very direction. 11 appears to us that Cotton Mills migh be established here with profit to oui moneyed men, and they would certain ly be a great blessing to our laborint classes. Besides, they would be th( meaus of increasing the population o the place very materially, by attract ing white laborers from the North So the matter assumes a politictl as pect that is very encouraging. A gentleman of the place is in corres pondeuce with parties interested it the Atlanta Cotton Mills, and he hai promised us the results of his investi gations. Meantime those citizens wh have capital to invest and are public. spirited en'ough to wish to improve the material interests of the Count3 can agitate the question among them. selves, preparatory to getting it int( some definite shape in the early future Status of Next Legislature. The Charleston News and Courie; gives the following status of the nex1 Legislature, founded on the vote s< far ascertained : The Senate has 83 members, oni from each County, except Charleston, which has two. The Democrats elec; 12 Senators, and the Republican elect 6. i. e., in Beaufort, Charleston Fairfield, Georgetown, Newberry ani Orangeburg. The terms of thre< 'Democratic Senators (from Chester. field, Pickens~and UTnion,) and th< terms of twelve Republican Senatori (from Anderson, Charleston, Chester Clarendon, Colleton, Darlington, Ker shaw, Lancaster, Marlboro', Richland Sumter, Williamsburg) do not expir< until 1878. The new Senate wil therefore consist of : Democrats elect.............12 Democrats holding over...... 3-14 Republicans elect............6 Republicans holding over. .12-1 Total....................... a3 In the Senate, theretore, the Re publicans will have only one mor< than a bare majority, while in the lst Senate they had a two-thirds ma jority. The Democratic gain is seven The House of Representatives has one hundred and twenty-four mnem bers, and will stand as follows: Democrats.................64 Republicans................ 60 Total..... ............124 The Democrats will have what th< Republicans have in the Senate, one more than a majority, a Democratic gain of thirty-four. This is not all. The two houses will stand as follows : Re~publicans-Senate.........18 House........60 - 78 Democrats -Senate........1 House........64 - 79 Demnecratic majority on joint - ballot..................... 1 That majority of one on joint ballol will elect a Democratic United States Senator to succeed Senator Robertsor next March. This is a small tidal wave. Demo- cra tic Governor and State offiers One United States Senator, two Con gressmen, a majority in the House of Reresentatives, and a reduction ol the Republican majority in the Sen- ate frotu two-thirds to two. Even without the State ticket- enough has been gained to repay the people an hundred-fold for the labor and danger of the canvass.

The New York Herald has been making an estimate of the expenses of the late Presidential campaign. It e(III1udes that $1,500,000 were spent by each party, or $3,000,000 by both, buina, fifteen times more than the President's salary. So it costs fifteen times more to put Mr. Tilden or Mr. Haves intu the White House than it will cost to keep him there his whole term of four years. This would be equivaltent to a tax of seven and a half cents per head ou every man, woman aud child in the United States. Though called an expense, this is not in reality so, for the greater part of the nioney only changes hands and is not lost. to either party. Editorial Review.

TRANSCRIPT

The Charleston Riot. h

khDurine the entire forenoon yester-day Broad street, froi the court 1

house to East Bay, was filled by a

crowd of anxious citizens, eagerly a

awaiting additional news about the bnational and State elections. As each a

dispatch came in and was bulletined, sl

they would give a round of cheers, Eand when it finally became tolerably s,certain that Hampton had carried theState, despite the negro repeating in t]Charleston, their enthusiasm was un- n

bounded. In the meantime the ex- 1(

deputy sheriffs and Lluakidori bullies 0

had assembled to the nuuiber of about r300 or 400 at the court house. They t4seemed to be despondent over the v

news, until about 3 o'clock, when pWorthington, Mackey and Buttz gave s

out a dispatch saying that Hayes and PWheeler were elected, and that Chan-berlain had carried the State by 16,- P000 majority. Then they fired up e

and seemed to be ready for a ro.v. o

About half-past 3 o'clock there was c

a disturbance in Meeting street oppo- r

site the Charleston Hotel, caused by Fthe insolence of a negro to a white d

man. A squad of policemen were at donce despatched to the scene and suc- a

ceeded in restoring quiet. By this 3time the court house mob had, so to ii

say, become red-hot. They were evi- v

dently mad at the election returns, v

which their leaders knew meant "gohome" for the carpet-baggers andback seats for renegade Carolinians- r

About 4 o'clock Mr. E. W. M. Mac- I

key came down Broad street and be- c

gan to boast about the election of I

Hayes and Chamberlain. This pro-voked a discussion, which finally ledto a. quarrel, during which a youngman fired his pistol accidentally in tthe air. A negro immediately rusheddown to the ex deputy sheriffs at thecourt house, nearly all of whom were

armed, both with pistols and blud-geons, and announced that Mackey ,

had been shot. The crowd immedi-ately raised a yell and rushed down fBroad street.The whites stood their ground and 0

received the attack firmly. Anotherpistol shot was fired, and then a dozenin rapid succession. The black mob r

stampeded, and retreated in the di-rection of Church street. where they jwere met by a squad of policemenwho had been sent to the scene uponthe first report. The rioters emptiedtheir revolvers while running, andthen those who, did not have their jbludgeons with them tore down tree 1boxes and paling fences and armed i

themselves at once. The police forcewith their Winchester rifles for themost part discharged their duty as

well as they could under the circum-stances. They brought in a numberof prisonet's and several of the wound-*ed, but in order to do so they had tobrandish their pistols and rifles. Veryfew of them fired. When the crowdreached the corner of Broad and Meet- s

ing streets the negroes were much ex-

cited. Some of them rushed to the e

places where they had their arms cou-cealed. Others went home. A largenumber of the Hunkidori rowdiesmade a dash at the main entrance ofthe station house and tried to force c

their way in, shouting "Give us

Guns !"tChief Hendricks had taken the

precaution, however, of stationing a

couple of men at the door, who, withtheir bayonets, managed to keep the icrowd back. In the meanwhile a pis-tol was fired by a negro at a white ']

mau, and this was a signal for a gen- feral volley. The few white men who S

were in the vicinity, as soon as the Cnegroes began firing, drew their re- t

volvers and returned the fire. The c

police were powerless to stop the dis- dturbance. Every negro fired his pis-tol at every white man he saw, and1after he had emptied his weapon re-treated to reload. It was in this fightthat Mr. E. H. Waiter was killed andMr. Geo. H. Walter, one of the old-est and most respectable merchants ofCharleston, was painfully wounded.Neither of them fired a shot , neither~

of them drew a revolver, and it is not t

known that either of them had a pis- v

tol on his person. They were both C

shot down in cold blood, because of Itheir faces being white. Mr. E. H.~Walter was killed instantly, the ball 1

passing entirely through his chestfrom left to right. Mr. Geo. H. Wal- v

ter, his father, was shot in the left a

breast near the shoulder. The fusil- I

lades at the corner of Broad and Meet- ?

ing streets was kept up fully ten mini-rutes. a

In the meantime the whites had a

begun to rally. They all reported at c

once to the station house with their '

rifies, and by the time the United r

States troops,~who were sent for. had~arrived, there were about five hun-dred white citizens, who had volun-teered to act as special police. Gen.Hunt, commanding the United Statestroops, had a conference with ChiefHendricks, and a squad of colored 3

policemen, backed by a number ofwhite volunteers, were sent out to

qjuell the disturbance, while the .restwere kept under arms in front of the 5main station house. About 5 o'clock,Company E, of the 5th Artillery, '

Major Kenze, and Company B, of the C

1st Artillery, Major R. T. Frank, ar-

rived at the station house. The citi-zen police were ordered to fall in inathe rear of the soldiers. The negroes e

by this time had all disappeared, ex- Icept in certain localities. In the bend 2jof King street, near Market street, Iabout 200 of them had assembled with Ptheir muskets, and no white faces be- 1

ing in sight, amused themselves with

firing in the air and smashing thewindows of the stores. A part of thesame crowd occupied Robb's lot, fir-

ing upon and clubbing white men

who chanced to pass.fPrivate Remke, of Company E, 5th i

efore I die. Lemine shoot one whiteian more." He was painfully but notriously wounded.Buttz and Worthington were in*ttz's house in Broad street, and were

en to pass -out ridies to the mob.It seems to be the general impressioniat Mr. Walter was killed by a police-ian. Mr. E. W. Walter makes the fol-)wingstatement relative to the shootingMr. E. H. Walter, his brother: While-turning from dinner in company withies'srs. C. F. Hard, Captain G. H. Wal-r, E. H. Walter and W. J. MeCormack,re were attacked in Meeting street, op-oite the city park, by a mob of ne-

roes, who commenced firing upon theartv. The fire was returned by us in,lf-defense, and the firing from theiob continued until a squad of negroolice came out, and from the northeastrner of Meeting and Broad streets,pened fire upon the party with Win-bester rifles. The gentlemen then tookfuge behind tree boxes, and a blackoliceman got behind a tree box andeliberately took aim and fired at Mr.. H. Walter, killing him almost imme-iately. The same negro policemangain fired upon Mr. E. W. Walter andIr. C. F. Hard,several ofthe balls bury-ig themselves in the tree box behindrbich they stood. Capt. Geo. H. Waiter7as shot through the left breast by theegro mob, who still kept up theirring. The firing from the negro policeontinued until Captain Hendricks ar-

ived, and under his protection the deadody of Mr. E. H. Walter and the restfthe party were conveyed to the stationLouse.

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.The Herald is in thehighest respect aFam-

ily Newspaper, devoted to the material in-terests of the people of this County and theState. It circulates extensively, and as an

Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad-vantages. For Terms, see first page.

The Democrats have filed a protestagainst the election in NewberryCounty, on the grounds of fraud and

illegality. The Democratic CountyConvention has jtist assembled to-day(Tuesday) as we go to press.

The Democrats have elepted fiveCircuit Solicitors, viz: in the 4th

Circuit, W. W. Sellers; 5th, Jno. R.

Abney; 6th, T. C. Gaston; 7th, B.W. Ball; 8th, Joo. S. Cothran.

From what we have been able to

learn we feel confident of the electionof Tilden and Hampton both. Hamp-ton has undoubtedly been elected.There is no use ;n being uneasy aboutState Canvassers and such matters;the Democrats are not going to becheated out of this election.

"Starvation Resolutions."That is the name the Radicals give

to the resolutions passed by the mer-

chants of N4ewberry. A large majori-ty of the colored people of this Coun-ty voted at the late election what mayfitly be called the starvation ticket.

They Elected by their ballots, aided byfraud and intimidation, the worst set

of men that ever disgraced the Countyoffices. They voted against every in-terest of the County. They voted de-fiantly and in most cases maliciously.They have shown themselves the ene

iies of the merchants and planters,upon whom they depend tor positionsand support. The Democrats havedeclared almost unanimously that theywould show no favors to those whoshould vote against their interests at

the 1ate election, and would regardwith special favor all w'ho should vote

for honest government. Now, whatwill be the result of such resolutionsand declarations ? Will they be car-

ried out ? These are questions thatare now causing no little concern. Sofar as our own individual interests are

concerned, we can afford to carry ott

the resolutions without much troubleand inconvenience. Our business isof such a nature as not to be affectedvery materially by them one way or theother. Upon the werchants and thefarmers rests the burden of the matter,and we do not feel that we have a

right to offer -any advice on the sub

ject. But we are free to say thismuch: the colored men who votedwith us ought to be treated -and of

course will be treated-with the verykindest consideration. Both j usticeand policy demand it. They haveacted the part of friends towards us inour time of need. They deserve as

much credit as if we had succeeded.He who does his best acts nobly.Justice, therefore, demands that pre-ference should invariably be given tothem. Besides, those colored men are

watching; they are going to see howthe Democrats fulfill their promises.Suppose they are put upon the same

footing and left to the same chaneesas Radical supporters, where will theystand when another election comes

round ? Can anybody doubt ? Theyhave encountered- the most violent

opposition in taking the manly standthey have taken ; gond if no advan-

tages whatever accrue to them there-

by they will not take it again. Policy,therefore, demands that the Democratsshould give preference to them. Butwhat about those who supported our

eneies ? They have perpetuated mis-rule and corruption in the county ;

they have sunk the county infinitelylower than it has ever gone before.They have brought us to greater suf-

fering ; and we do say that they shouldbe made to suffer first, and to reap the

just reward of their own folly andhate. Some Radical office-holder mayraise his sanctimonious voice againstwhat he calls such unfeeling measures;if so, let him come to the help of hisfriends. It is high time the peopleof the County and State were feelingfor themselves now. If they ao not

adopt some measures for their deliver-ance, they had as well be in Liberia

at once, or in the black republic ofHayti. No government at all wouldbe far preferable to the incompetent,corrupt and tyrannical. government we

have been living under for the last

aeo-htt.ears.

Newberry Fought Nobly.Let no man say that Newberry

County did not do hcr* duty in thelate campaign and election, for shedid nobly. Look at the facts andfigures. See what she has done : In1870 Scott's majority in the Countywas 1,270; in 1872 Moses' majoritywas 1,831 ; in 1874 Chomberlain'smajority was 1,705; in 1876 Cham.berlain's majority was 565. New-berry has therefore reduced the Radi-cal majority 1,140 within the last two

years. In the number of voters she isan exact average, or so nearly an aver-

age as to be practically exact. Thewhole State vote in 1874 was 149,221;there are 32 counties in the State;that would give an average vote to

each county of 4,663. The vote ofNewberry County in 1874 was 4,657,almost an exact average. Supposeevery county in the State had reducedthe Radical majority 1,140, as New-berry did, the whole reduction wouldhave been 36,480. Chamberlain'smajority in 1874 was only 11,585; thattaken from 36,480 would leave 24.895for Hampton's majority in 1876. Butwe must make allowance for thosecounties where Green got a majoritythen and Chamberlain gets it now.

Charleston, Clarendon and Sumter,the only counties that gave Greenmore votes in 1874 than they gave

Hampton in 1876. aggregate a Greenmajority of 7,157, which taken from24,895 leaves 17,738. That majorityat least would have been given for

Hampton on the 7th of November, if

every county in the State had done asmuch as Newberry did. Of course,we should have been better sa.,isfiedif Newberry had gone Democraticthroughout, but we ought to feel proudfor what she has done. In maaingthe above statement, there is no inten-tion to take away one particle of creditfrom the work of any other county;but only an attempt to convince our

people that their labors have not beenthrown away.Our neighbors of Laurens were

more successful than we; they madea gain of 2.238 votes-a tremendousgain; but they did not have the diffi-culties to contend against that we hadhere. Laurens has done nobly, as

well as Newberry."Demoralizationl."

We hear much and read a greatdeal in the papers about the demoral-izig effects of the late campaign.This we firmly believe is a mistake.There are always people ready to

croak and find fault ; to look on thedark side of everything. What the

demoralization co'osists in nobody pre-sumes to say. Have the people grownmore wicked ? Have the good peoplelost their religion ? Have the badpeople grown worse? We do not

hesitate to say that the man who losthis religion or morality, or any part ofit, in the campaign had precious littleto lose. So far from the campaignhaving had a demoralizing tendancy.its effect has been just the opposite,according to our experience and obser-vation. We are not going to believe,without very strong evidence, thatmen engaged in such an earnest, no-

ble effort as has occupied the minds ofSouth Carolinians since the campaignegan, will suffer in character. Men

do not lose good principles while sup-porting a good cause. It is not theman who is strugg'ing for better

things that fails or degens.rates, but

the idler and the coward, who are too

indolent or too timid to make a waulyeffort. The camrpaign has been a

serious one, conducted by serious, soberminds. It was a determined strugglefor life and liberty. All other objectswere, of necessity, left in the back-

ground for the time being. The goodpeople of the State and County laidaside all other considerations, and saidlike St. Paul, "This one thing we do"-redeem the State.Let us hear no more of demoraliza

tion about the3 election. South Caro-linians are better men by it. We are

mgoig to have a better time every way,and everybody is going to be goodfrom this time forth.

The Public Schools.This is a matter in which the poor

people, black and white, are profound-ly interested. It was on this veryplea that many colored men were in-duced to quit the Republican party.That party has failed in this matter

most egregiously. The officials whohandled the money appropriated to

this purpose, appropriated a large por-tion of it to their own use, or to theuse of the party. There are strongreasons to believe that a large portionof the school fund was used for camn-paign purposPs this year. Now, every

man should make it his duty to watchthis matter. It is the poor man's'interestand should be conduced forhis benefit. We shall have something

to say on this subject soon. We re-

'gardit as of the highest importance.-I

Capital and Labor.

What Newberry needs now, more

than anything else, is some sort of en-

terprise or establishment that will fur-nish support to her poorer classes.There is a large number of persons,male and female, in the town and

County, who need employment. Theyare willing to work, but inany of themhave not the work to do. We havenever felt the conflict between laboiand capital here as it is felt in the

populous and wealthy cities of theNorth. But as wealth and populatiouiucrease, this conflict is bound tc

arise, and we should be getting readyto meet it. What are wealthy mea

to do with their capital? What arE

poor men to do with their labor iThese are questions that our leadinocitizens ought to set about to solve.Some enterprise should be inauguratedat once to utilize, in the best possiblEway, both the capital and labor of oui

people. An Act was passed by th(Legislature of 1872-3, incorporatinothe Newberry Cotton Mills. We arE

unable to say what has become of thatenterprise; but hope the matter maybe revived soon, and that somethincwill be done in that very direction. 11appears to us that Cotton Mills mighbe established here with profit to oui

moneyed men, and they would certainly be a great blessing to our laborintclasses. Besides, they would be th(meaus of increasing the population o

the place very materially, by attract

ing white laborers from the NorthSo the matter assumes a politictl as

pect that is very encouraging. Agentleman of the place is in corres

pondeuce with parties interested itthe Atlanta Cotton Mills, and he haipromised us the results of his investigations. Meantime those citizens whhave capital to invest and are public.spirited en'ough to wish to improvethe material interests of the Count3can agitate the question among them.selves, preparatory to getting it int(some definite shape in the early future

What it Costs to Mlake a Presi-dent.

The New York Herald has beenmaking an estimate of the expensesof the late Presidential campaign. Ite(III1udes that $1,500,000 were spent

by each party, or $3,000,000 by both,buina, fifteen times more than thePresident's salary. So it costs fifteentimes more to put Mr. Tilden or Mr.Haves intu the White House than itwill cost to keep him there his wholeterm of four years. This would be

equivaltent to a tax of seven and a halfcents per head ou every man, woman

aud child in the United States.Though called an expense, this is notin reality so, for the greater part ofthe nioney only changes hands and isnot lost. to either party.
