We all have read about Miss Amelia Linkhuw ?? ho killed J. K. Hartman in Lnmbeiion. N. ('. some time ago. and seeing the rcpoit going the rounds ol the (tress that she had been married Jo a Mr. Li tile in Char leston, it was a pretty little story, ii pel feet cameo of sentiment s, but it turns out lhat it was nn illusion.

It certainly has I not the appearance of a bravo and peaeeid lo man. JJut what may be said of a man who sits .us a juryman, in this civilized country, with a brace of pistols in his bei'.? And yet we are told that such a spectacle has been witnessed in our Court-room within the p/ist year.'' Party Allegiance'. There arc few sections at IhcSoutli where true allegiance lo party is pro perly understood or appreciated. This applies with equal force lo South Carolina and o r own county as any where else. The rule that controls the vote of many citizens is personal favoritism. Tim tendency is to vote for a man nominated if he is Jikcd and lo vote against bim if he is dis liked. This course of conduct ig nores party influence altogether and is often a fruitful source of evil, if not of defeat. Under its operation the best talent is often Jost, and officers of inferior qualifications secured Im positions they are hut aide to fill. Popular men are not always the best, either in point of fjlncss for an ojfice j or fidelity to principle, and yield by their term of service onlj a poor rer turn for the confidence reposed in them. On the other band the best men arc not always favorites with the masses because they do not pander U) every wdiiin of a changing fortune. They are faithful to principle, and, therefore, opposed by ambitious as pirants or sei ^constituted candidates, and their talents in consequence are! lost to the public service. 'J he Dem ocratic party has been particularly! unfortunate in this respect anil needs; such n change as will gives j: the ser-j vice til our best men. The most prac tical plan to do this, we conceive, isj to discuss calmly the merits of every J one presented for consideration. Asj a rule the people uncontrolled by prejudices seldom err, and may be relied lipon for a faithful discharge! of duty and a strict adherence to prin ciple. All the party, therefore, needs is a correct expression of the senti ment of the people, which can only be had, under our present system, by the selection of such delegates to the County and Slate Conventions a? will properly represent the sentiment of the local clubs. When nominations( arc then made, let individual prefer ences Tall out of the question, and let the lieket receive the cordial sup port of every one. This will destroy the very idea of Independeutiem and give success to the party's ticket, Loyalty to party allegiance on the part of Democrats is worth the con-1 sideration of every true citizen. Orangeburg Radicals Moving, From a no'ice on the door of the postoitlce we learn that Ihe faithful in this precinct ore requested to at tend a meeting called for the 23d in-! sinnt for the purpose of ejecting six teen delegates to the Radical County Convention, whjeh will be held on the following day, April "24. We suppese like meetings will be called in other sections of the county, and that an earnest effort will be made by the lenders to revive and reorganize the old party. Whether this move ment will result in success remains for time to develop. Our colored citizens are not unlike other rational people, but have learned profitable Jensons from their past political ex perience, and, if they arc wise, will consent to be no longer the blind dupes of a fraction, or the tools of cunning leaders or the supporters of dishonest officials They know the dis repute brought upon their race by a fatal allegiance to Ibis very faction, and a slavish obedience io these very leaders. They feel to day the shame consequent upon such sli.'glance, and will he untrue to their manhood to form a second alliance, the first of which was so damaging to the char acter of their race. Our colored peo ple understand that they arc citizens of the country; that Uicy jwsscss rights equal with others which cannot be taken away; that they live in pence and the enjoyment of a reason able share of material prosperity; that their own well-being is inscpara ' bly connected with that of the -eotin try ; and 'hat this condition is due directly to the Democratic govern* nvent now prevailing. As reasonable lw.iugs? therefore, they should be slow to perform any act which would sap tho very foundations of this prosperity. Wherever similar movements have l^een made, as in Rarnwe l, Colle'xm, Beaufort. Char lesion and Darlington, the meetings were slimly attended and a manifest indifTcrenee displayed which was any thing but encouraging to the^ old Radical lenders. Let ue hope that the same wisdom may direct the col ored people of Orangeburg. An Honest Republican. If there is one member of the old Radical party for whom we feel any sympathy, that ono is Mr. John R. Cocbran, ex-Senator of Anderson County. In a recent letter to the An derson Inldligi ncer he attempts to show the motives that influenced him in joining the party and the part he took in the subsequent legislation of the State. Whether those motives were sufficient to warrant him In sac rificing tho position of a respected citizen he occupied, and whether bis subsequent efforts to reform his par ty w??re of sufficient importance to en title the author to consideration now, hayc been decided by the deliberate verdict of his fellow citizens. The record to which he appeals holds him out in the claim of authorship to more than half the reform measures adopt ed by his party, and the records of the investigating committee, of which he was chairman in 1877, show him to have been as active and as earnest in ferreting out crime and its authors as any Democrat on the committee. The close investigation, instituted and conducted by that committee in to the conduct of every leading Radi cal in the Stato, failed to connec1: the name of Mr. Cochran with a single dishonest transaction, and the esteem jn which he is held ns nn individual by the community in which he lives, together with the hatred of bis old associates, show him to be a man ol principle and not a cunning politi cian. Mr. Cochran's connection with the Radical party has been a terrible mistake. He might as well have en tered a banditti with the hope of re forming it as the Radical party with the same purpose, -4s flb Impost Re publican, howpver, he can be of some service to our people and. if President Hayes desires to appoint such a man to the oflice of United Stafps Marshal for South Carolina, ex Senator Cochran will fill the position witb credit to the government and satisfaction to the people of this State. A better Re publican than either Wallace of York, or Johnson of Sumter, he would by odds make a bplter marshal than cither. Radicals at Work. Many persons from a very natural courso of reasoning have concluded that the Radical policy in this State would be, not to put in tho field a full Stale ticket, but to adopt and sup port, as far as convenient, whatever ticket the Democrats might choose to nominate and make the fight in those counties where they have a numerical majority. Indications, however, point io a generul rallying all over the Stato ami earnest efforts are being made by the leaders to revive the party from tho sea to the mountains. If possible a State Radical ticket will be put in the field, not wilh the ex pectation of electing it, but to solidi fy the colored vote and thus increase tho chances of carrying the lower tier of counties. Tbe leading spirits in this movement are Bowen, Mackey, and Taft of Charleston, who have taken time by the forelock, and are working actively both in Washington and the State. ' In the first place to secure the removal of objectionable oflice holders and the appointment of others in their places who will be faithful workers for the part}*, and have taken the field in the other'to encourage ' the desponding and ?strengthen the Weak wherever such work -will be most fruitful. The strange feature of this revival move ment is the enthusiusm of the masses is not in proportion to the zeal of the lenders. Their meetings, even in densely settled districts, are slimly attended and those whom they suc ceed in calling together ore evidently indifferent or suspect that when the offices arc divided out these cunning leaders will secure them. The color ed people seem not disposed to be used as tools any longer. The leaders of the tipper counties are working in concert with Bowen and Mackey, scarcely with the hope, however of benefiting themselves. The utmost that can be accomplished will be the elec tion of Mackey to Congress and Row en nnd Taft to some lucrative office. This cunning scheme of the Charles ton leaders can easily lie thwarted by tbe Democrats if wisdom rules her counsels. Pi3TOi.9 and whiskey have been do ing their work again in Edgefield. In a row over a municipal election in that town recently Dr. Bland, a talented young man, was killed, and two others badly wounded. When will our law maker wake up to their duty, and pass a law, making it a crime to entry concealed weopons. Keho answear when .Mr. Tilden not a Candidate. A.correspondent of liio Boston Her ald announces upon the authority of Mr.Tilden himsclf,lbat be is not a can didate, nor will be, for the Presiden cy during the pending politicul cam paign. Since the declination of Gov. Seymour to run, this announcement leaves the held clear for the nomina tion of Mr. Bayard. The National Demccraoy can do nothing better for itself or for the country than by tak ing such a step. The nomination of Mr. Bayard will at once throw hope and life into the party and will com mand the confidence and support of every true citizen of every section, who loves the Constitution, who ad* mires honesty and virtue, patriotism und statesmanship, principle and right) and who hates centralization, a vend ambition and political corrup tion. Tbere is no man who 13 more uble to command the respect and sup port of the entiro American people than Senator Bayard, of Delaware. The failure to nominate him at the Cincinnati Convention will be a terri ble mistake and a fatal blunder. We hear it whispered about that a prominent white Radical of our county aspires to congressional honors, and proposes to contest Mackcy's claim for the nomination when the pow wow meets to decide who shall lead the forlorn hope in this district, lie would make about as good a member of Congress as a pig, but then it is none of our business. If ho suits the party he suits us. Ought to Know. Our Republican cotemporary, the Sea Island Navs, says: "Judge Maekey is said to bo working in Chester County to secure the nomi nation of Hagood for governor. If Republicans bad no*othcr dread than in seeing Maekey re-elected Judge if Hngood becomec Governor, that alone would be enfllcient to cause them to put up n straight-out Republican nom inee like Corbiu who certainly would oppose his beirg reseuted on the bench." "Well, brother, we shan't dispute this point with you. Maekey is from your side of the houso, and we suppose you know all about him. Notice.
