A New Banner.
The only manly voice which has yet
been raised in the Radical party was
heard in the Moral Convention, a week
ago. The resolutions which were
adopted have a einaere ring about
them, and hit the nail directly on the'
head' They acknowledge and stigma?
tize the deplorable condition of pnblio
affairs in this State, and the dnty of all
citizens to exert their influence in be?
half of good government. That influ?
ence should be directed to discredit
and overthrow those who, as leaders,
have deceived the people, and, as men,
have revelled in corruption. The gist
of the action consists in the expressed
and determined purpose to "prevent
the re-election or election to office of
any of the members of the corrupt ring
or those who operate with them." They
express themselves as "unalterably
opposed to any member of the present
or preceding State Administration
being eleoted Governor of the State;"
and they say it is "utterly useless to
expect a true reform from those who
have been recognized as leaders in the
pa?t." Colored people, here is a stand?
ard to which you can rally; here is a
line of notion indioated which yon can
follow with a prospect of good results.
Wu hope that those who have erected
that standard will be strengthened by
the well-meaning men in their party
everywhere, and that they will bear it
with pride and confidence to every
quarter of the State. It bus a mean?
ing ' and a good one. It says down
with' rings and ring-wormBj it pro?
claims war on bad and corrupt men; it
calls for hew men, who shall be both
"intelligent and honest." There is
some sense and earheBtneBB in this
movement. There is hope? that good
may comn out ?1 it. It has oar best
wishes, We- commend these resolu?
tions^ So- the'favorable consideration of
the colored men, who are inquiring all
over the Stute what , they shall do to
rid themselves of bad inen und extri?
cate themselves from their toils. Here
is. the " way indicated 1 plainly. Cat
loose.from them. Throw them ovec
board. They are cheats. They reek
with corruption. Avoid them as pes?
tilence. Touch not the unclean thing.
That ia ;tbe way,of safety; that is the
only mode of. escape.. We : give the
resolutions below:
Resblve?,. That we feel deeply and
heenly the great necessity for a faith?
ful co- operation of all classes of Repub?
licans in an effort to rid oar race, State
and party of those who have; by their
unfaithfulness to public tragt, robbery
of the treasnry, anmindfulness of the
dangers which surround as as newly
made citizans, recklessness of their
pnblio and private character, and u
perfect indifference to the prosperity
and happineas of those who elevated
them to positions of hbnof, trust and
emolumeut, brought unparalleled in?
dignation, shame and disgrace upon
the. colored race, the Republican party
and oar State iu general.
Resolved, That wo each pledge our?
selves to return to our respective
Counties and fields of labor and use all
the influence that we may have to pre?
vent tho re-eloction or election to office
of any of the members of the oorrnpt
ring or those who operate with them;
and we farther pledge ourselves, as
men loving honesty and truth, and
occupying the holy position of ser?
vants of God,- to denounce all minis?
ters of tho Gospel who allow them?
selves to be used as tools, in the inte?
rests of bad men, as enemies of our
people and unfit to be spiritual teach?
ers in our midst.
Resolved, That we, as a body and as
individuals, are unalterably opposed to
any member of the present or preced?
ing State administration being eleoted
by oar party to the position of Go?
vernor of this State, who has proved
reoreant to the principles of Repub?
licanism, and whom we believe will
not ably and honestly subserve the
true interests of the people, and that
we will support and advocate only a
true Republican from the ranks of oar
party.
Resolved, That, in oar opinion, it is
utterly aseleas to expect a true reform
in oar party from those who have been
recognized us leaders in the past, and
who have betrayed the confidence of
the people; and that if we are to have
in truth a obange in action, we must
hstvs s, change in men, and to this end
WO shall labor during the pending
election.
"Gentlemen who have been travel?
ing through the upper Counties repre?
sent them as being strongly in favor
of Chamberlain and reform."
[Union-Herald,
Nothing ojt the kipd. Republican
politioiabB, on the contrary, who are
not in the Colombia rings, have a
thorough distrust of him. The bulk
of the negroes never heard of him.
He has not a particle of popular

s'teai
sevej
there -
tha colored population in those Coun?
ties. Tfrey" "perceive that tboy have"
been tools and viotimb in tbe corrup?
tion which., liko a great boil, over?
spreads the en tiro State. Now that
ths rnsn who have misruled them,
ruined tho State and disgraced' its
name, come forward to deceive them
again with false prof eat ion a, they natu?
rally shrink from their touch. They
do not see any break in the ring, they
are unable to discern any dear hands
in those who npprouch them. They
are the same oid feiiows, with tho
same old plundering schemes. They
are more disposed than at any time for
1 several years to hear from gentlemen
whom they oan trust. They are freely
asking their advice, aud eviuou a grow?
ing interest in learning tho truth of
things. In Fairfield, Newberry, Uuion,
Spurtanburg aud Greenville, mauy of
tbe oolored people are prepared to
listen to men whom tbey have alwuys
respected, always knew were their
friends, bat whom tbe party lush and
tbe power of ridicule and of persoual
denunciation kept them from support?
ing iu political matters uud in elec?
tions. This dispositiou to correct n
wrong, to bo sot in tho right path, to
get out of the den of thieves, und to
be ranged in political uction with
honest men, ought to be warmly met
and Btrongly enconrsged. Our frieuds
may dopend upon it that the colored
people will bear them with putionco,
and will weigh their suggestions.
Their minds are more open and less
prepossessed than they have been.
They begin to see to what shameful
uses they have been pot. Tbey feel
the degraded condition of things
which keeps them down as well us
others. Talk with them, therefore.
Sow the seeds of good doctrine in their 1
awakened minds. They have heard
that President Grant condemns the
Iladical ruin which has been wrought
here. Gnard them against the decep?
tion that this condom nation is only
meant for Moses. Show them that
it is meant to reach tbe whole corrupt
ring which put up Moses at one time,
and now, to avoid the consequences of
their and his crimes, desires to palm
off some other as something better.
Tell them that wheu General Grant
eaid he preferred that the State should
fall into the bands of Democrats rather
than to continue uuder tbe control of
plunderers, he did not meuu one plun?
derer, but tho whole set. Wheu ho
said tbey must unload, ho meaut that
they must unload tho whole party of
organized brigands. They are dis?
posed to hear wholesome truth, and
our people should not bo remiss or
backward iu imparting it. They are
quite ready in many quartern to throw
these follows overboard. They need
some good men, firm aud intelligent
men, to t.tke them by tho hands aud
lead them out into light aud out of
trouble.
What's the Malter wltlt Abbeville.
We read in tho Press and Ummer, a
week or two ago, uome very strong
commendation of Mr. Hugo's speech,
the chief point of whioh was clap-trap,
about the Civil Rights Bill. The Me?
dium ecboes the assertions of tho Ha
dioal papers of Columbia, that tbe
"entire Democratic press" is giving its
assistance to Moses. These arcstrauge
utterances to come from this quurter.
By-the-way, a gentleman of that
County, who called our attention to
them, informs ub that there is but a
siegle Tax Union in Abbeville. Are
the Abbeville jonrnalB responsible for
this lethargy? Abbeville is a large,
rich and important County. It ought
to pnt itself in line with the other
Counties in tbe State. Its newspapers
surely oan find something better to do
than to give their readers dissertations
on H?ge and misrepreseDtationsof tbe
Democratic press. We hope our
friends in that County will not any
longer delay in forming their Tax
Unions and taking a position worthy
their nane, resources, character and
spirit.
The aecond battle of King's Moun?
tain came off on Sunday last. A party
of oolored folks from Charlotte went to
Limestone Springs, on an excursion,
and when returning, tbey got iuto a
difficulty with another party from
Growder's Mountaiu, (adjacent to
King's Mountain, the Limestone
I station,) and for a time a fierce battle
was waged, with kuives, sticks aud
pistols. Tbe conduotor put u Htop to
tbe fight by moving off his train,
whioh was stoned by. the Crowder
party. Several were seriously hurt.
A man, named Hedry Ynre, ban
been arrested in Portsmouth, Vu, for
running away with his mother in law.
Just think of it;
Shall Stoic** Brer be It-leased from'
R * Prison 1
I j Edward F. Stokes still languishes iu
tjbo i Greenville- jail. The ladies of
Greenville, to the number of 200,
headed by the humane, disinterested
and greatly-beloved matron, Mrs. B.
F. Cleveland, lately sent a petition to
Judge Cooke, asking that he be ro
leiiBcd. It is an eurnest appeal. It
states that Stokes has been imprisoned
ten months, snfferiog all the time iu
mind and body; that he is growing
weaker and weaker, and must soon be
laid low in death. Judge Cooke re?
plies in kind terms. He assures the
ludy petitioners that bo feels and
mourns, in common with them, the
sad und unfortunate confinement of
Stokes, bnt adds that he cannot open
his prison door without doing injustice
to the rights of parties, whioh ho is
bound to proteot, nor proper regard to
the responsibilities of a Circuit Judge.
Without meaning to reflect upon
Judge Cooke, we fear that in thin mat?
ter it is the letter which kills. We
want the spirit whioh will make ulive.
There never has seemed to us any
impediment to the release of Stokes
which could not be overcome. It
seemed, rather, when wo exumiued the
oaso aomo time ago, that the grounds
for appeal to the Supreme Court were
good and solid. The argument was
made on the 12th of Muy, but no
decision bus been uuuounced. Now,
are we mistaken or not in this? If the
oase is before the Supreme Court, it is
one which ought to have been deter*
mined within a week, aud there can be
no excuse for any delay. If it is not, 1
then the responsibility for this shame?
ful- incarceration rests either upon
Stokes himself or upou Judge Cooke.
When we consider all the surrouudings
of this case?the pleadings and grounds
taken before the Supreme Court, the
condition of the prisoner and those
peculiarities of mental Constitution
which are as fixed facts ns they ure
touohing appeals to enlightened hu?
manity and strong arguments for the
relaxation of rigid rules of law?we
confess that we ure not iuoliued to
place it upon Mr. Stokes himself. It
is sad to think that he may bo the vic?
tim of the law's delay, the tortuosity
of courts and of his own delusions at
the samo time. For this long-con?
tinued imprisonment, Judge Cooke
must take his duo share, aud the
i
greater part, of the blame. It looks|
ugly, even now. Before long, it may
become an infamy and a shame. Is it
possible that Judgu Cooke can bo a
mau and u> Judge, und not be able to
solve such a dilemma as this? Judge
Cooke pleads legal and technical re?
sponsibility for not acting; but he is
I under a moral responsibility to act, in
suuh a peculiar und distressing case,
which is higher and moro biudiug.
Georgetown.?Attuirs in this Ro
pubheau-distructed town remain in
statu quo, us fur as heard from. The
Intendant called upon Geu.Yogdos,
commandant at Charleston, for a tile of
soldiers, to preserve the peace; but,
after communicating with Gen. Mc?
Dowell, he was compelled to de.cliue,
on the ground that it was a matter for
the Statu authorities. Upou the re?
quisition of the Collector of tho Port,
a revenue cutter, with u complement
of murines, went dowu, Sunday night,
to protect Uuited States property.
Senator-Colonel Jones, the leader of
one of the factions, who has arrived iu
Charleston, reports that the ja?l is still
guarded by some of his militia. Rep?
resentative Uowley is still confined.
Jones says that Uuitod States troops
must be sent there to restore order.
He brings with him papers necessary
tosnstain his demand for such help.
Thompson, the colored Philadelphian,
who was wounded on Wednesday,
came with him.
Tue r hol,' hi,ks in August a.?There
was some excitement in Hamborg, on
Sunday, over tho lynching of the
colored man, Murrel, in Augusta, and
a citizen of that plaoe who crossed the
river got into a shooting sorupe with
some of the exoited colored populace,
when he beat a hasty retreat to the
Georgia side of the river. It was
rumored that a raid was to be made
upon Augusta, and a detaehmont of
military was called out and sentries
placed in differeut portions of the city.
Later iu the day, a preamble and
resolutions wore adopted by some of
the peaceably-disposed residents of
Bumburg, and the exoitemeut quieted
down. Gabriel Murrol, who partici?
pated in the difficulty, (bnt declares
himself inuoceut of the murder of
Captain Butler,) has been committed
to jail to await his trial. Captain 13.it
h>r was interred on Monday, in the
cemetery in Augusta?an immense
concourse of persons being iu attend
unco. Everything is quiet in tho city
now. I

\' White nadicale.
I ' Mil 'Editor: The white-sYiuoed Ra
dicale ol Booth Carolina are working
bard, through their newspapers, by
public speeches and otherwise), to con?
vince the black man that "it will never
do to trust tbe Democracy- of - Boatb
Carolina with the Btate Government."
Tbey tell tbe black man that all this
boo and cry by tbe Democrats about
tbe corruption of Radioal offioials, tho
enormity of the State debt and high
taxes, is a sbam to lead the poor blank
man aside from his duty to the Radi?
cal party, so tbey can get possousiou cf
the Stuto Government, aud that us
soon as this is accomplished, liberty
for tbe blnck man will bo gone for
j over. ThiH id the cherished theme by
I which they hope and behove they cau
keep tho hobest whito aud black ci?i
zuus ut tho Stute dividod, so that tbey
cau ruu in between tho two and tuko
all tbo offices. Tbey very well know
that us soon us the honest part of the
two races become frieudly and united,
that their good timo will be at an end,
aud that they will be driven out of (he
public crib and consigned (o (he depths of
eternal infamy. There iB scarcely uu
issue of u Radical newspaper iu South
Carolin?, but that the dnugers of Do
mocratio rulo are brought before the
black mun iu the most hideous forms
kuowu to tbe inflamed and imagina?
tive braius of white Radical newspaper
writers. But tho woigbt of the foul
hands of the legislative aud executive
departments of the Government upou
tho very vitals of tho people, both
white uud black, has become so op?
pressive und apparent, that the mot>t
ignorant while or colored country man
has tsoeu and felt it. Pliny are, there?
fore, reluctantly compelled to uckuow
ledgo many of their villainous crimes,
or else bo brauded with kuowiugly and
persistently sticking to that which
they und ull tho people know to be u
lie. It is uot tbo grout love thut these
while Radical:* have for the black mun
that mukes them so busy and solicitous
about his rights aud interests us citi
zeus. Nay! it is office for themselves
that they are after; uud, that obtained,
they care nothing for the runt interests
of either the white or black man, but
go on stealing everything they can luy
hands on.
The true friend of tbe honest black
man is tbo honest white man, and it is
to bim that tho black man almost in?
variably will go for favors. Why,
then, is he uot to bo trusted by tbe
black man? He being the black man's
fricud in need, is certuiuly his friend
indeed. It is now time thut the honest
white aud colored puoplo of tbe State
come to an understanding, aud hurl
from position all the white und black
rogues who have, tuno reconstruction
been living in elegance and luxury, by
stealing tho hard earnings of both
black and white. Gen. Kershaw struck
tbe key-note of tbe State's deliver?
ance, when he said: "Let us organize
and consolidate all honest men, (we
say white aud black,) who cau rise
ubovo unworthy prcjudiocs aud party
slavory, lo rescue the State from nuur
ohy, ruin, uud, iu the end, a bloody
despair." Let there be a mutual fool?
ing of confidence and friendship be?
tween tbo races interested alike in
good government, aud let them Quite
upon good, honest men for office, from
both races alike. Wo fuel sure that all
tho whito people of tbe State fully en?
dorse this noble seutimeut of Geu.
Kershaw, and that the true interests,
prospority aud happiness of the co?
lored people, as well us tho whitee,
consists in mutual friendship uud ouu
iidnuco in each other.
Colored peoplo of Sooth Carolina,
are you willing to meet your best
friends?the honest white men of tbo
State?on bulf-way gruuud, to accom?
plish those great reforms in tho go?
vernment of South Carolina, which,
by its roguery aud profligacy, bus re?
duced us to beggary, aud, in many in?
stances, compels you to steal or perish?
Do uot bued tbo hellish crios of Radi?
cal newspapers, thut you must not
support tiny ouo but whito Radicals
for uffi'o. All tho rogues are crying
aloud for reform, but tbey say reform
only inside our Radical linos. Boliovo
them uot. Tbey do not mean reform.
Reform with them moans to replace
them iu office, whore tbey cau conti?
nue to steal your substance, live in
fine bouses, drive floe horses und car?
riages; while you are olad in rag*, live
in poor log bats, with scarcely bucou
and corn bread to eat, laboriug bard
tbo year rouud, soaked witb dirt and
sweat, only to maintain them in tbeir
bigh stylo of living. The oolored peo?
plo beiug largely in tbe mujority, are
oxpooteu to muko tbo first move to?
ward this unity, and tbey cau very
easily do so through their preach era,
who mot reoontly in the interest of a
good, moral and economical govern?
ment. Tho whito Radicals, and, in
fact, all tbe old set who have tastod
tbe government pap, were opposed to
this meeting of the moral oolored men
of tho State, for in it they thought
tbey saw "tbe band-writing on the
wall." A Ridioal newspaper (the
Union) snoeriugly remurked that half
these moral men were candidates for
office, hoping thereby to create au im?
pression ugaiust tbem. But go on,
good colored men; tho best wishes of
ull the good whito men of the Stute are
with you, and tbey hope something
good from you. The striking down of
Lee by Oardozo has justly incensed
many uf the colored und white people
of tho Stuto. Whatever else you do,
never trust again any of tho old suck?
ers who bavo ruled and ruined us all.
They will make streuaous efforts to
regain positiun, but never trust tbem.
There arc plenty of good, honest whito
and colored men entirely outside tbo
old set, who aro willing and competent
tu fill all these places. Respectfully,
J. FAIRBORNE.

Reported Troubles at Ridqr
Sfbiko.?Several reports were in cir?

lored companies were drilling and
drum-boating until a very late honr
Monday night, while the stragglers
made threats aa to what they would do
if tho whites interfered, or wanted
"anything out of them." The whites
becoming incensed and at tho samo
timo fearful that trouble might ensue,
sout runners around the neighborhood
aud collected a number of armed citi?

prepared to quell any disturbance.
Thoro was, however, fortunately no col?

Many who are sufiering from the
effects of the warm weather and are
debilitated, are advised by physicians
to take moderate amounts of whiskey
two or three times during the day. In
a little while, those who adopt this
advice frequently increase the number
of "drinks," aud iu time become con?
firmed inebriates. A beverage which
will not create thirst for intoxioating
liquors, and which is intended espe?
cially for tbe benefit of debilitated
persons, whether at borne or abroad, is
Dr. Sobenck's Sea Weed Tonic. Con?
taining tbe juices cf many medicinal
herbs, this preparation does not create
an appetite for the intoxicating cap.
The nourishing and tbe life-supporting
properties of many valuable natural
productions contained in it and well
known to medical men have a most
strengthening influence. A single
bottlu of tbo Tonic will demonstrate its
valuable qualities. For debility aris?
ing from sickness, over-exertion or
from any cause, whatever, a wine
glassful of Sea Weed Tonic, taken
after meals, will strengthen the sto?
mach aud create an appetite for whole?
some food. To all who are about
leaving their homes, wo desire to say
that tbo excellent effeots of Dr.
Subcnck's seasonable remedies, Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, are
particularly evident when taken by
those who are injuriously affected by a
change of water and diet. No person
should leave home without taking a
supply of these safeguards along. For
sale by all druggists. A9fl3
Inviting Sickness.?A belief that
violent purgation is tbe surest remedy
for every human ailment prevails to a
lamentable extent among some olassea
of tbe community. It might be
thought tbat tbe languid, the debili?
tated, the depressed, would know, in?
stinctively, tbat their systems need
toning, invigorating and regulating
with some wholesome stimulant and
alterative, and that a fierce oat bar lie is
as unsnited to their eondition qh a
strong dose of aotive poison would be
to a man already laboring under tbe
effect) of some deleterious drag. In
all oases of physical weakness, Hostet
ter's Stomach Bitters should be
promptly resorted to by the invalid.
The operation of tbis inestimable vege?
table restorative is three-fold. It vi?
talizes and reinforces the depressed
nervous system, while at the same
time it regalates the digestive and se?
cretive organs and keeps the bowels
free. Debility is ofteu the forerunner
of an attack of some acnte disease,
aud to prostrate the strength still more
by scouring the bowels with a drastic
evaouant, at snob a juncture, is to in?
vite the immediate onset of the im?
pending disorder, and render the sys?
tem iooapable of contending with it.

Bitters, commenced as soon as tbe
symptoms of general debility manifest
themselves, will iu nine oases out of

thoroughly rostore the bodily strength
of tbe patient. The cases of dyspep?
sia, liver complaint, constipation,
dysentery, diarrbooj, rheumatism and
periodical fevers would bo compara?
tively few if this unequalled iuvigora
tiug and regulating medicine were
always resorted to as a core for the
bodily weakness and loss of vital en
orgy which oeualiy precede these com?
plaints, and are, indeed, us a general
rule, the precursors of nearly all aoute
and dangerous disorders. A16f3^1
