Dr. tatimor of Oreonville, who op posed Wallace, has declared for Greene. Judge Cook has dbclared for Korsabw. Greene claims Chat lechto, George town and Stimtor by overwhelming Mnajorities, and a majoriy in several other radical counties. He claims 20,000 republican votes, which with Con,ervative support will basily elect him. Judge Bryan hns issued an order to tihe inanagers of ciection: through ouc the State requiring themi to s,nd in) to himi by the 22d inst. all the polling precincts in their rcspootive counties Thus will the radical ballot-box-atuffig gaume be pi-event. edl.

Purvis, in a card, claims that he was nomninatod fro Congress by a vote of 11 to 10, but that before the vote was declared, Gillmore, of Rieh. land (who was once coinvieted of larcony and is now iunning for the liegis:atuie on the Chamberlain loiu-s-Minort-tiket.) changed his vote to lloge and theroby gave hll the noaiiation. Purvis intimates th it money changed Gillmori. IIe denounces Hoge, and it is said, lie has declared for Gen. McGowan. The radioal precinct meeting il Chester on Saturday is raid to have been an unusually disgraceful affair. Judge Mackey presided. We are informal that Senator John Lee (colored) accused His Honor of hav ing stolen $5,000 of the iu KI ux dettetive fund. Judge Mackey said if ho were not in the chair lie would go for the doughty Senator, It is said the lie was freely bandied about in the Conventions Purvis was present and dcaired to spoak, but was hooted down, M r. C. S. Brice who w,t present asked that Purvis should bo heard. le (Mr. Brice) was a Conservative and of course op posed to Purvis, but lie thought frec.speoelh should be allowed. But the crowd refused to hear him. It was only after two or three appeals from l Mr Brice that Purvis conld speak. Purvis thaiked Mr. Brice in a handsome manner, saying that this courtesy from a dem ocrat was totally unexpocoted.

Then you go down in that barrel again and come up with a pleasing assortinctit of stockings and half emptiod medicine bottles. The way you como up this time leads you to consider the barrel itself. It caught in the back of yoir vest, and made the cloth let go, it took off one halt of one sieve, and created a sensation on the back of your hand as if a bonfire had raged there. It is quite evident the coopir who built the barrel was balled away beforo lie utilnmenlced to clinch the nails. You involuntarily grasp the rolling pin and look around as if you half expected to see him.

Editor GreenviMt3 News: I have been very much interested in the politiual Minvas ndw pends tg as to governor of thA State, and after much thought and consideration of the taubject, I have deliberately oome to the conclusion, that the 6nly hope for reformation in our State ad. ministration lies in the election of Green for 0ovbrnbh ChambeillaIn is not personally objectionable to me, but his surroundings are of such a character, that in his election, he would be powerless to accomplish anything for the State, hio chief sup. porter being the present attohney general, S. W. Molton, who is known to all the State, as an accomplice to the bond frauds that have boon per petrated, and a WillIng' agent to any thing that will redound to the interest of the "ring that prevails in Colum bia." A wan that refuses to repro. sent county officers anting under or ders from comptroller general's ofice, whe the interest of railroad ourporations were involved, under the specious plea that the legislature had not provided a contingent fund lor him to appear in sith euses. Yet the fuuts of the duso being that a con tinent fund of near $20,000 was up. priated for such purposes. How he could have arrived at such conclu hiOnIs, I am at a lo.s to divine, unless it was to make a case for his copart nerj the Hon. D. U. Chamberlainj who, I confess, I regard as head and shoulders over his warm adherents and manipulators of his election. Here in Grebnilllo bouhth I only ask the people to look at his stir roundings, the most prominent sup porters ueing Revi J. M. Runion, county auditori Who has sought to ruin his people with an oppres sive assessment, and Capt. W. E. E trle, who is regarded as the expo tient of a northern bond ring, who would saddlo on the State the pay mena of an illdgal bonded debt that has been doblared as illegal and void. I say to my fellow-citizens, vote for Green and Delany, and let us inau gurate true refoh in South Carolina. If Chamberlain is elected; the bond debt will have to be paid, mind What I smy.
