From the radical party coir posed of rabid office seekers and carpet b.agers, penitcntiatry birds and plunder Ur, who f'nding the atmosphere of their own homes too hot f,r them, and who poured down South like birds of prey to fatten on the people, it is time to turn, and join hand in hand with the par pty of progress, of reform and of honesty. N) specious promises are made by the Reform party, lies are not a part of their stock in trade, thieves are not allowed utinder her bright banners, and rogues cannot find a place in her ranks, for we mean ua at we say, and believing that the God of Justice is on our sile, if the people n! ii! go to work, all that is said will be done. The difference is that one party is composed or led by rogues and thieves working entirely for their own good, while the other, the great Uni'n lb:form Party, is the party of honest pi inciples, and whose aim is the common good-the salvation of the State and the prosperity and happiness of the people. Mark well the difference. Chcster vs. Newberry. "Conn.CTO.-We stated in our last is suC that at an eicct;on for School Trustees at Newherry C. 11., abcut a fortnight ago two companies of colored militia wereC on duty all day, with fixed hayonets,around tire pols Out- intormattion was ifrm the editorial col uns of thre Newberry Herald. Tfhough it is not a mutter in which our readers are spcs cia!iv imierested, still for the sake of truth, we give place to the following communica ton a(ddreSed by William Sumner, Chair man of the mantrgers of election, to the Hleraid.' The above paragraph, to which was ap pended Mr. Wmn. Sunmm&rs card, and which our readers have already seen,appeared in the Chester Reporter of the 7th instant. We came very near missing this little paragraph, owing to the dog days,which doubtless made us a little careless in our glances through the columns of our cxch:Inges; and we hav-e but just casually discovered it, for which "for the sake of truth,".we are right glad. As an independent journal, and custodian of a people's rights atid liberties, we an nlouced the fact that at the late election for School Commissioners of this county, at thec Cour: Ilouse,colored companies of m ilitia paraded around the election precinct, with fxed hayonets, and that the bay-onets were had int requisition at the polls. Who darec deny i:7'--for the sake of truth." This is all with which we carc to deal. We published the local item witbonrt stric tn-es uponi any one. We admitted Mr. Sum mer's re.'i of course. Our cohimons are frely op:en to d!1-most especially to a reply. Aid while we yiea' ;he broadest catholici:y o th~e gre:'t prin:cipies-freedom of conb science, of speech and of the press, antd of rc lious toler nc, &c.. &c., it does not klow that we endorse a correspondlent's views. iiece hravinrg published all that we had to say in the simple announcemnt of the facts in thre case. we had done with it, and eren :r1;lited Mr. Sumamer's cx par-te statement wthou~t comment. We qutestion the right of armed men to pa~ rade in tire lie-diate vicinity of arn election precinct. and fuirthrer challenge the right of emlyn the bayonet at an ciectionl, urnless to qac1; a riot of such magrniturde as to have pased beyon d tihe conItrol of the civil anthro ritcs. Now, "for the sake of truth," forsooth:, we say that there was no riot--not even tire shaow or sembiauce of one ; and the only excu.>e or sub:crfage that we find int Mr. $um mt'sr card, is thant "there wvas a general rush f:o thre celored citizens." D)id tis warrant their being driven forth at the point of the branet ?" Wonder what the "loyal freed rmen" think of' this clever little coup d'etat ? 'Te follow ing appears in Mr. Summer's i-ard: "' fu impression is given ot that we b:d the mrilitia cotmp.uttes ordered out to pa rade. which is entireliy a mistake, and that here was no cause for calling on tire guard to preserve order. Now a jurnal shroutld ive faith furl reports ot what transpires-at east in tire vicinity of its publication-he ore i: calls r:ponr the civil~it world to pass is verdiet," "Imrpressions", nonsense. If the writer of the merest epigram had mnind enough to see the varied views of hris many reader", hre would be astounaded at the complex charac ter and power of thtat subtle principle hogtt! And to attempt to guide the im pressions of a great reading pubhce in its views of the simplest expressioni, would be to conrvcrt ail tire phases of temperament nto one. We arc rnot responsible for every bdys impressions. A journalist may hur tidly praent the poits of a case, or the re, sUa.; 01 an inciden:t, before hre has had time nam uts for investigatlion.

After an implied deelsration that we have tni: ed the public, Mr. Siuner proceeds togive a *faiful report."

Since (thcster has charged upon us, we trust thit "for the sake of truth", and the ethics of the press, she will publish the above. War Betwean France and Prussia. France has deci:red war against Prns sia under the plca of the Hohenzollern candidature for the Spanish Crown, &c., but in fact for the recovery of her ancient boundaries; and the splendid ar mies of both empires are wild with en thusiasm, and evince great eagerness to measure their genios and valor. It is believed that France cannot with draw from her extreme position without dishonor, unless Prussia should yield mere than is r igit. Fo- several years the great European I powers have been making gigantic pre parations for wnr, and now France has 370,000 men realy at a moments notice, nith a reserve of 1,000,000. With the aid of Austria and South Germany, France could instar.tly mar:hal 777,000 veterans n ith a contingent of 1,3 G,000 more. On the other hand, Prussia with the aid of her allies, could bring to the field of strife on the nonce 846,000 men, and have in reserve a force of 1,304,321. With the many national and interna tioral questions for solution among the peoples of Europe-the old political im broglios and religious schisms-affecting State as well as Church-border line and boundary antagonisns, royal family rows and muortal jealousies, dismembered States, clamoring to be remapped, coerced powers chafing to rule themselves, the active greed of ambitious sovereigns-es pecially the Czar of Russia, who has both eyes on Constantinople, &c., &c., notwithstanrling the many late popular concessions-vide the plebiscitun in France, and the Ukase in Russia, the suntiering of the concordtt, in Austria, the Reforms of England, Church rights in Ireland, &c., &c., we feel p ersuaded that the con'inent of Europe is as a pow der tmagazine, and that a little fire of war would explode the whole fabric of States in a pyrotechnic of strife that must be fearful in its lurid glare, dire in the destruction of life, and unparalleled in its results. Is this a speculation? We L'ope so. Will the nature of the country, the formidable ch aracter of the machinery and the enormous forces bronghmt into action, render thue con test short and decisive, or will aggravated complications come into play and mako the war general, bloody and protracted ? What a state oftalarm, incertitude and pre paration at the vast centris of Europe. The moments are great key momen ts each, and men think and act with maddening inten sity, and grow grey In a night. What desti nies hang upon two men--Napoleon and Bis rnarck! And who is to be the master-spirit? When the fearful crash comes, and the earth trembles beneath the awful onset, as up wards of a million veterans rush together, who goes under the terrible waves of blood -and who shall wear a victor's crown that hath been purchased by the tears of many nationalities? Are the vast destruction of human life, and the making of hundredsor widows and thous sds of orphans,and the breaking up of comn mred and trade, and the humiliation of corn monwealths, &c., &c., a noble record for a Christian nation ? What say the D)ivine Ora cles, and what says moral courage ? Is the Rhine boundary worth all this? Who is the rightful owner of the disputed territory? And cannot nations like individuals learn to relinquish an unjust hold upon a neighbor. And if they cannot rise to this altitude of moral conrage, cannot the professedly Chris- 1 tian nations enforce cquity and justice among themselves without war? Should the war prove protracted, how wilt it affect ut.

Its hearings are not understood, though Trumbull, when voting for the bill, declared he did so because he understood that it made the election this fall mandatory. The announcement of war between Prussia and France, in the flouse, by the Associated Press dispatches, was received with applause. Congress extended its session to 2 o'clock. The Georgia bill and all appropriation bills were signed. BEIuAN, July 1 M.-The King has ar iel. His progress from Emus was a ~ontinued ovation. Over 100,000 await d him at the station.

The Emperor will leave Paris to day r the seat of war. The Prince Impe irl will aecompany him to the field. he Emperor dlesires this, and the Em rss does not object. The Journal, this mo-ning, publishes he following statement: "-Eight days go, Bismarek sent, by a special nmes enger, to Werther, the Amnbassdor of the erman Confederation, an order to make o concessions to the French government. Do not be too much impressed,' Bis arck continues; 've are ready. Pr n the sitnation, if possible, to the 6h of iJuly.'"'

This drouth is only par tial however, we are pl:ased to say, for other sections have enjoyed good seasons all the while, and the crops are looking splendid. To TIE COUNTT CoM IssIONER.-At the request of citizen tax-payers, we urge that the County Conrissioners of Newberry publish a statement of their receipts and dis bursements of public monies, that the people may know how much has been received and how it has been appropriated. This is but right, and such exhibits should always be made, and .vc hope that the request will not have to preferred again. We notice that it has been done elsewhere. ACCIDENT.-We regret to state that old Mrs. Davis, wife of Wm. Davis, nearJalapa, while proceeding to the Tranquil Sabbath School celebration, fell from the wagon in which she was riding, and that one of its large and heavy hind wheels passed over her back. From a hasty examination it was hoped that no bones were broken, but as the old lady suffered great pain, we fear that some serious internal injury has been sus% tained. We have heard nothing further since sha was conveyed back to her home, and trust that she may soon recover. We have read the letter of Attorney Gen% eral Chamberlain in reply to certain strie tures of the Guardian relative to the Land Co'nmission Swindles, and apart from a somewh at modest and prettily-written decla ration of the innocence of the wrIter, no fact, proof or evidence is established to ex honerate him from complicity in the damag, ing- transacetions.

Goodgion, of wool roll carding fame, again presen t th cir annual crd to the public, ad we are pleased to see that thev- h ave refurnished their factory and supplied it with new cards. iheing under their immediate superintendance, they guar'. atee satisfaction in all work turned Out by them and with prompt diespatch. We notice that they have appointed Mr. A. W. T. Simmons as their agent for Newberry; and as that gentleman is no longer at the Depot, but a: the Hlelcnashops,that the patrons of the Factery may not be in doubt, we would sug gest that wool may be left with Mr. WV. Sim mons, his son at Newhcrry Depot. We add a complimentary, taken from the Laurens iercald: We are gratified to learn, as a sign of en trpise, thatt our young and enterprising frierds, the Messrs. Goodgion, arc adding nw machinery to their Factory, and refitting genrally, preparing themselves to turn off work with increased dispatch, and of a su pr>r quality. Thcy are determined not to be aitstripped. Success to them, say we. Fm.-A shed attached t, the brick kitch en odonnging to, and nsed by D)r. Whaley, was dise,yrered to be on fire on Tuesday night, or ra:her about i past one o'clock Wednesday mninrning last, and the alarm be ing given, in a ve:y short time a number of our citizens, white avd colored, were on the spot to render all possible aid. In the ab sence of an engine or any other appliance for subduing this terrible enemy, a few buck ets only were to be had, but these in willing and stout hands, together with wet blankets quicktmy stopped the flames from proceeding farther than the destruction of the shed in whici the fire originated. Most fortunately also the night was very still, scarcely a breath of air stirred, otherwise the efforts made to stop its progress would have been futile, and perhtps much valuable property on main street would have been destroyed. It is sup posed to have been the result of accident, and the loss to Dr. Whalcy in shed, garden, fencirg and kitchen utensils burnt and bro'. ken is about S250, perhaps. We cannot say too much in praise of the efficint and noble aid rendered by the col ored citizens, two of whom particulariy at trctad marked attention, and to whom in a great measure, are we indebted for the early stop pit to the fire. Their names we regret being unable to learn. There were ma ny others who did their parts manfully, and to wh>m all praise is given. After the dange- was over a free treat was given to the workes by the Council, which was richly desered and highly appreciated. (-AP:'ET-P.AGGERS AGAtN AT WoaK. On Friiay last there was a great gathering o the :olo)red people in this town, they came they came to hear something definite. The old lies-forty acres and a mule, etc.-had' become stale, they could not put faith in these kind of promises any longer, and. they were told to come this one time moie and it wonld all be right. They came, and met the strolling, vagabond carpet-baggers and ren egade incendiaries, who were prepared for the emergency. Instead of the forty acres, &c., they are told that they are to be arbiters of their own fortunes, and that "with guns upon their shoulders azd bayonets by their side," &c. We need hardly to repeat the devilish incendiarisms which are uttered at these meetings. We are pleased to say that general dissatisfaction was manifested by these people; they have borne with these vile party leaders so long, have relied so car nestly on their promises, have believed them so faithful to their interests, that now they see through them, they have become thoroughly disgusted. The radical rogue party are pla-Ing their big trump card now, but they will find that the game will go against them. The negro may be duped time and again, but he has sense enough to awake some time, and when he does, the carpet-baggers and the home renegades' reign will come to an end. That time, we believe is at hand, and these vagabonds will find a steady abiding place, from whence they will not be allowed to go to and fro over the land stirring up strife. We are pleased to say further that the day passed off quietly. Pow wows and caucus;es were held and much bitterness and bad feeling stirred up among the many would-be leaders, not a few of whom have been thrown over board by the party, and who are now nursing up their wrath. The cry for office and place and pickings is making these league meetings hot places to be in. We have not inquired who are the ins and who the outs, and take but little interest in it, but feel that the greed and ambition will work out some good. SUNDAT SCHOOL CELEBRATIOr.-The Sabbath Schools of Tranquil, Beth Eden, Tabernacle and Trinity Churches uniting, on invitation of the former, had quite an inter ing time at Tranquil Church, on Friday last, the extreme heat of the weather and the ef fects everywhere visib!e in that neighbor hood of drouth, together with a doubt as to the ability of the one little spring to supply a sufficient quantity of water for the several hundred people gathered on the old "camp ground" of Tranquil, alone marring the wholesale and general enjoymenr. With these exceptions, the occasion was highly in. teresting and instructive. The different Schools were pretty well represented, all of whom in due time were marched in line to the Church, and inside to seats near the al tar, singing an appropriate Sunday School j hymn while marching. Mr. Jacob Summer, Superintendent of Tranquil S. S., officiated in the direction of ceremonies. The Rev. J. B. Hawkins after invoking the divine bless ing, in a short and touching prayer, was fol lowed by Mr. Thos. Mooriman, and Mr. Kinsler, the latter of Fairfield, each of whom addressed the large congregation in a happy manner, and thus together with songs, the morning passed away till recess for dinner. We shall say no more of the dinner than that there was a profusion of it, of the best kind and greatest variety, but the heat was too great, an:l the perspiration too generally I copious to make it an enjoyment. We have indulged in cold collations under pleasanter circumstances, and respectfully urge that pic-nics and celebrations be arranged and hald in early spring and fall if possible, here, af'er, and not in mid-summer. in the afternoon there were otheraddresses, Mr. Washington Boyd and the Rev. MZr. Hawkins this time claiming attention, the whole concluding with the benediction by Rev. Mr. Cauthen. One of the most interesting features of the morning cxerciee was the introduction of a letter written many years ago, by uncle ,Zaccheus WXright, to one of the first Sunday School Conventions held in this State, we believe. The letter was beautifully written, (but we are sorry to say, badlyv read), and abounded in passages which showed that the writer's heart was fall of love for the Sunday School, and now that the good old man is dead, no more fitting tribute could have been paid his memory than the reading of that letter before the School which was or ganized by himself and Mr. Absalom Giass gow, in 1827. Th is latter fact was revealed by a beautiful banner which bore the inscrip tion, Tranquil Sabbath School, organized in 1827, by Zacecheus Wright and Absalom Glasgow. We would like to dwell more at length on this point, but have neither time nor space for it. A wot d in addition, how ever, this Sunday School was one of the first perhaps organized in this partof the country, and it is only right and proper that the mem ory of its founders be enshined in the hearts of their descendants and the people of Tran quil. It would be hard to conceive of a better mngazine than Demorest's for this month, with its latest Fashions, first-class Literature, and high tone generally. It exceeds all our expectations, and excites our wonder that lhe should be able to furnish so much for so lit tIe money', his subscription price being oaly $0 per year, withI a valuable premium worth from $2 to $10 to each subscriber. We suippose his being ahle to furnish such large pre miumns is attributable to his extensive cir cul:ation. Ad Iress W. Jennings Demorest, 8885 ]roadway, New York.

TnE AMERICAN STocK JOURNAL.-The domestic animals on every farm constitute a' world of their own, whether reared or han died for pleasure or profit.

Tavlor, Importer of i.ud'e. F.tiua: 3'11 Canal St., N. Y., Pub To THE .DIToR OF THE E'RALP: I regret newspaper squibs, as much so a! any man, in fact I detest it: but in justic< to myself as well as to the community a large, I cannot forbear from correcting a egregious error which Michael Werts has perhaps ignorantly and unknowingly, falIer into in regard to the payment of certain o his taxes. Now I have never wronged an; man intet,tionally, that I know of, since have been Treasurer. My aim has been t exhibit kindness, lenity and courtesy on al occasions, to accommodate every one, with out using any power, even if I possessed it to distress or oppress any one. This think will be accorded me by every hones man in the community. While I say this, I da not presume infal libility or exemption from error, "to err t human"; every one, even the best, art liable to mistakes. Thc books that I collect from are mad< out by the County Auditor. My duty is simply to collect.. A short time back a lisi of delinquent land tax payers for this Coun ty appeared in the Herald from S. Mont gomery, Auditor. Small too in con:parisor with other Counties, which speaks well fo the citizens in such trying times, and show, plainly that the citizens of Newberry are disposed to do their duty. In that list will be found the name of M. Werts, also the name Est. Lucy Stephens for 1000 acres of land of which M. Werts is Executor. On the 22d March, 1S70, Michael Werts appeared at my office and paid for three persons, as their Guardian-also paid for one as Executor, which receipt is dated 22d March, 1870-Township No. 6.-and is given for personal property amounting to $1506- which was assessed by David Ring -there were no assessments on real Estate last year. The State Taxes on this was $7.53, County Taxes, $4.51.8, aggregate $l2.0L.8. This is all the receipt that Mi. chael Werts holds as Executor from me; which receipt was given for personal prop. erty and nothing else, which the books and his return sworn to will show. The 1000 acres published lies in Town. ship No. 8, known as Mendenhall's, is en tered on the books from the books of last year-and is unpaid, which Michael Werts knows as well as I do. He holds no receipt for this from me. If he has disposed of the lands it was his duty to have informed me. It is mine to collect from the name in which it is entered on the books until I ant other. wise informed. The transfer must be made by some one. I must. say that I cannot see why Michael Werts failed to report to me about this land when he settled his Tax. I leave it to the community to infer. As regards the Lot held in Helena, I have nothing to do with it. His name was on the books charged with a lot. No one told me to transfer it-and I knew nothing about it-whether it had been transferred to Joseph Glenn or any one else. I am no clairvoyant, prophet or son of a prophet ; cannot tell what a man does with his prop ery-to whom he sells or gives-unless I am informed. My business is to collect. There is an old Spanish proverb which says neithe.r "sweet nor bitt.a words butter parsnips," so likewise neither will a receipt for $12.04 8 mills for $!508 worth of per snal property in No. 0 Townshio, pay the Taxes of 1000) acres of landl lying i Town sip No. 8, belonging to the Estate of Lucy Stephents. Any fool will know this. Mr. Werts may rest assured, unless he comes up and pays down, the land will be sold. He knows, also, full well that over a month ago I mentioned to him lhe was dauc Txes on the real Estate of Lucy Stephens. There is no way of getting out Mikoy ex cpt to pay out. THOS. P. SLIDER, County Treasurer. Tuns NA-rIONAT. DEMOCRACY AND TURE S'FFRAGE OF TYJE NEGto.-The New York World says: "In the forward movement of the great D)emocratic army, it seems to us that the D)emocracy of New York arc in the van, and that the patriotic Democra y of Kentucky linger in the extreme rear and refus'e to march without a great burden of earnp-kettles strung upon their shouldered muskets or inverted upon the points of their ihmg staffs. When the fifteenth amendment was de lared adop'ted, the Democracy of New York at o:nce concluded that the negro uestion was, for any effective political p'rpose, at an end. Our Democratic [egislature, then in session, immediately passed an Act repealing all the State laws that discriminated against persons f color; and we carried the State elee tion which soon followed by an unprece ented mnajority. We felt some doubt .hether the Democracy of other States would immediately approve our course ; ut there was no dissent anmong our s:les, and we were willing to trust to resuts for our vindication elsewhere. We have since watched Demnocra tic novements in other States with much nterest and some solicitude, to see how ar they were likely to follow our lead. xcept in Kentucky, we have found no hing but encouragement. The Demo ratic party of Ohio has since held a State Convention, and adopted a plat orm in which further opposition to ngro voting was silently withdrawn. What is more important and significant, he D)enmocratic Senators and Represe atives in Congress have recently held a cnsultation, and issued an address, in hich not a word is said on the negro uestion, and the party is counselled to aste no eflort on dead issues. The reat body of the party is marching up o the position taken by the Democracy f New York, who lead the advance, with he sitngle exception of Kentucky. ".Even in Kentucky, the Democracy arc by no means unanimous as to-the ex >ediency of re-baptizing themselves as a white man's party' and protracting a ootless fight against the negro. By far he ablest Democratic paper in that State md one of the ablest in the country, the ourier-Journal, of Louisville, has stead ly protested against a hide--bound, bort-sighted policy, which, if the whole rty adopted it, could result in nothing ut continued defeat and disaster." "This democracy, expounded by the orld, is ours-liberal and progressive" ays the Pho2nis, and we endorse it very eartily. ADVERTIsEE's GAZETTE-We are In re eipt of the July number of this quarterly nagazine, which contains a great variety of aformation interestin:r to advertisers and pblishers. Single copies 15 cent.'. George . Rowell & Co., No. 40 Park Row, New ork. The heet capital to begin life with is a capls tal wifo. Mr. C. H. -ldwin, Assessor of the Third South Carolina District, has hand ed us the following brief synopsis of the requirements of the internal revenue law, in respect to fruit distillers, as niodi fled by tecent replations of the (ommis sioner of Internal Revenue: 1. They must register theif stills and give notice of their intention to distill. The Assitant Assessor Vill fufnish them with the necessary blanks fur this purpose. 2. They must execute a bond, tcith at least two approved securities. The penal sum of this bond must not be less than the tax on the brandy that can be dis tilled_ at the distillery during a period of thirty days, and in no case less than $500. 3. They must provide themsclvts wit!t a book, (prescribed form 25f,) in which a record must be kept of the hours of running, material used, number of boil ings made and quantity of brandy dis tilled. From this book, monthly re ports must be made to the Assistant As sessor. 4. They must have a place of deposit. for their brandy (which may be any house- or building near the distillery,) and all brandy made must be put i'nte casks, holding not less than ten galloni; and placed in said building, until the same is gauged and the tax paid there r on. 5. On or before the 25th of next montll the distiller will notify the Colector of the probable number of packages he will have on hand to be gauged at the end of the month ; at which time the Collectes will. order the gauger to gauge and marl the same. The gauger's fees, which will be about $1 per cask, must be paid by the distiller. Fruit distillers pay the following tar es: - 1. A special tax, or license, at the rate' of $50 per annum, to be estimated frotn the first day of the month in which dis tilling is begun to the first day of Say following and, iu addition, a tax of $ per barrel on every barrel of brandy pro" duced in excess of the rate of100 bar-' rels per annum. In addition to the above requirements. the Assesso', upon receipt of the dis tiller's notice, proceeds, at the expense" of the govet nment,. to make a survey of the capaci.ty of his distillery, which fixes the producing capacity of the distillery at so many gallons for every twentyL, four hours. Then, at the end of eacl * month, the Assessor ascertains from the reports of the distiller the exact number of hours the distillery was run during the month,.allowing for all stoppages and sespensions, and thus, by means- of th survey, estimates the capacity of the d&rrilcry for the month. f t-he actoal quanity produced is less rhan eighty per cent oftbis capacity, the distiller ii assessed for the deficiency at the rate of. ifty cents per gallon. The dikiler,. however,. by skillful manage ment can always avoid this deft'iene or ma-'e it so small as to be of no considerar tion. Pbrties intending to engage- in fruit distillery should give notice to the As tistant Assessor, as soon as possible, so as to give amplo time for effecting all preliminary arrangements with that office.
