We know not whether it is too late, or whether, as General Preston thinks, the people have been too thoroughly demoralised ; but it seems to us that some good old Simon-pure Demo cratic newspapers and leaders in the Palmetto State would do more good in six months than anything elao. One thing is certain : expediency, trimming and attempts at political amalgamation- hwve boon most bus miliuting failures. Any further experiments on that line will only drng the white people into a deeper abyee. Augusta CviiBtitutionnlittt. Vvnn 1 Ati/I jJAnv tj | ni?u nun innv lllU tUI" I %J\k Tutors have learned that tho success of Democracy does not moan their re enslavement or even an abridges ment of their political rights, thoy will Boon swell tho Democratic ranks nnd make a Democratic vie tory in this Slate, under tho leader ship of a straight-out Democrat, as easily as it is in Georgia. We are willing to try it at any rate. ? Gbkknvillk Conspiracy. ? We publish, ou the outside of our paper, tbis week, the statement of bberifi' Boutborn, ot Greenville county, and the corroborating affidavit of Charles Means, denying the charge made in tho Union-Herald, that tho implica tion ot Joseph Crews with tho mur* der of Dr. Shell, was a conspiracy. Fink Smith, >vho was also contined in tho same coll with Albort Parks and Wright Sullivan, at tho timo they made their confession, also makes affidavit corroborating the statement of Mr. Southern, but we did not have room to publish it. Sheriff Southern is explicit and clear in all tho state* n?ents ho makes, which is sufficient, without the atlidavits of tho other parties, to prove (what was well known before) that tho charge made in tho Union-Herald, was a myth. No lair minded or sensible man, who is acquainted with the gentle** men whom Albert Parks and Wright Hullivan attempted to implicate in, what the Union*Herald attempted to designate, the "Greonvillo conspiracy," would for a moment entertain anj doubts as to tho falsity i>i iho statement ; but as the chargo was made, it was perhaps well enough to meet it on the threshold, and bhow to the public what means are resort* ed to, to shield parties Irum a just punishment that should he meted out to them bjr tiie laws ot tlio country. OROANIZK.?The fJharlflKfnn N?w? and Courior, and tho Keowoo Courior, ndvi?o against tho rofcorganiza* lion of tiio Democratic party in this Slat?. Why not at onco adviHO tho DomocraU to go ovor to tho Radical camp in a body, without odging around it in this way ? If tho Domocrata desiro to redeem tho State, they can only do it through organisation. If they doHiro to seo Radical rulo continued, they only havo to pursuo tho coutbc suggested by theso jouroals to insure it. Lot us porfoct a thorough Dcmocratio organization, put a straight ticket in tho field, ally ourselvos with the groat national Democratic party, and march with it to victory in 1876. But if tho 'possum policy is to bo continuod, let us ceaso abusing Radicalism and pronching DcmocrAtifi tlontrinn. Maimk Election.?The election in Maino does riot givo the Radical party any consolation. This State has always been concede J to that party, but the results of the last election tuakos it extremely doubt ful if they aro to hold it any longer. It gave Grant over thirty thousand majority; two years ago it gave tho itepublican candidate over eleven thousand majority, and now thoy only carry it by a little ovor four thousand majority. In this ratio, the Democrats will carry the next election by several thousand majority. Tho great tidal wavo is still rolling on, and is destined to soon swallow up ItadiculiBin in tliesc United Stfttie. A "PmoiiT."? State ^Treasurer Cardoso and Comptroller General* Dunn, are tSlowing paper pelloto at each other. Dunn is the receiver of the Solomon bank, by which the State lost over two hundred (thousand dollars, and Cardozo asks por<? mission as State Treasurer and an individual creditors of the bank,, to make a personal examination of its assets and tbe causes of its suspension. This Dunn refused, and a war of words is tbe results. "Tliere is something rotten iii Denmark," and if this eoutrovers; is likely to bo any benefit to the State, wo hope it will be continued. But this a thing we hardly expect; yet we say "lay on McDuft'," etc. 4^* California's New Governor.? The Newly elected Governor of California, Mr. Win. Irwin, has boon editor of a country paper in that State, the Yreka Union, since 18t>6. While he is a country editor, and perhaps because of that fact, he U suid to be a wan ol conso and pa* triotisin, as well as of sound priuci pics. I no JNow Xork bun suggests that, ns the editor ol tbo country paper, his ambition to attain tho otlice of Govornor maj bo justified, but it be bad beou tbo conductor ot a leading metropolitan journal ot power and influence, it would bo a sacrifice tor him to assume an ad* ministrativo ofljeo. it is better to rulo in tho domain ot ideas, rather than to bear sway in appointments to office, in pardons, and in vetoes. +4^* Wo spent a few days in Pickens last week. With the exception of a few farms about old Pickens, tho country along tlio road is gonorally barren and unsettled, so that wo had no opportunity of judging of tho cro}>e. We heird, however, that corn and cotton in Pickens wero verv good. I'eoplo wero gathering fodder and the line weather of the post ton days assures a large crop of good fodder. Tho town has improved very little during tho lattyoar. Tho trade ot tho town, we were told, hud not been greatly affected by tho rail, road stations, a few s ores being able to do a good business. Tho place has a flourishing reboot under charge of ProfcBiior Carlisle, who soems to givo getioral satisfaction. It it a real temperance town, there being nu bar rooius licensed there for several years. Tho bomb uourlsh like a green bay tree, and the people are umnot lestcd by tho drunken yells of midnight Iruinpe. In the good work of education and temperance, Pickens dcaorvcB praise.? Keowec Courier. ? Tho inicsi new? (rum in nine will doubtless sadden our Democratic frionds who may reflect with bitter* I Hess that they did not realty achieve what the/ might havo and bo very nearly achieved. When they succeeded in reducing the Republican majority from 11,400 to 4,300, it is plain that but a little more effort was needed to convert that narrow minority into sufficient majority. However, there is this satisfaction in tho rotrospect?it is demonstrated that tho State can oasily bo car ried next year in tho n&ro important contest, when its influence on nation al ntlairs will bo even groator and more beneficial than it is now. The Congressional election is bo close as yet to be in doubt. It would be eminently fit that Mr. Mndigan, whoso canidature has so largely limped the party in the State, should bo rewarded by an election. A significant fact which wo common d to our Republican friends is the steady Democratic gain in every partof tho State, not alono in tho cities. Tho spirit of reform and revolt has reach** ed the country districts, and that means the death blow of Radicalism. ?Now York World. 4w*??North Cauomna Cohvkntion.?
