were dead, the mob proceeded to fire about 100 shots into their bodies. DuriDg the day 11 or 12 Negroes were captured ; but were permitted to escape in order that the mob might fire at them as they ran. Several were more or less seriously wounded. In scouring the country, especially for the Negroes who were present at the killing of Ethridge, the white meu came upon a number of Negro cabins which they found to be locked but empty. The occupants had taken to the swamps. J. F. Circuit was followed for several miles when his trail was lost, and bloodhounds were sent for. It was finally decided that he had probably made his escaDe to Charlotte. N. C. The feeling against the Tolbert's during the day was most intense, and the general sentiment was that the whole family should be lynched. Quite a number of representative men did what they could to keep excitement down; but the rage of a majority of the men seemed to be beyond control. They were as fierce as hyenas and wanted to kill every Negro in the Phoenix section of the country. During Wednesday eveuing, it was reported that large numbers of Negroes were congregating in the neighborhood of Phoenix. At that time the whites were pretty well out of ammunition, and they telegraphed to the adjutant and inspector general for rifles and cartridges, and also to Colonel Tillman for 250 men. Governor Ellerbe declined to send the guns; but ordered the Mauldin Guards, of Greenville, to be ready to go to Greenwood at a moment's notice. During Thursday, two more Negroes were shot to death near Rehobath church, and it developed that two others not previously accounted for, had been killed on the day before, making eight in all. John R. Tolbert and bis son Joe, made their way to Columbia on Thursday. They were arrested on warrauts charging them with having incited riot and were committed to the state penitentiary for protection. This was on account of a reDort that voung Miller was dead. Miller belongs to one of the military companies in Columbia, and the members of the company were enough incensed against the Tolberts to lynch them. The latest information from Greenwood is contained in a dispatch from Sheriff Caslan to Governor Ellerbe, assuring the governor that the law now has control of the situation. TUESDAY'S ELECTIONS. Summary of the Renult of the Great Battle of Ballots. The full returns from last Tuesday's elections throughout the country are not yet in ; but enough is known to give a pretty satisfactory idea of the general result. The greatest interest in this locality ceutered in North Carolina. As is known, the Democrats in different parts of the state, especially in Wilmington, prepared themselves for bloodshed if necessary. There was reason to believe that the Negroes would not be permitted to vote at all, aud many looked for a race war on election day. But contrary to expectations, the election passed off in comparative quiet. Everybody who desired to vote was permitted to do so, and notwithstanding this fact, the returns indicate that the Democrats have carried the state by about 25,000 plurality. 1 + ?? nwlnnmollir a 11 ri Kn fa K1 a JL L1C I COU11 lO pilUVI^/a>iijr uvu i vuvmuiv to the return of the Populists to the Democratic party. According to reports up to this time, it is believed that the Democrats have carried eight out of the nine congressional districts. They claim the election of the judicial ticket, a majority of 18 in the senate and of 30 in the house. The only serious disturbance reported was at Rocky Mount, Edgcomb county, where a Negro named Frank Clark was killed at the polls. Roosevelt was elected in New York over Van Wyck by a plurality of 25,000 or 30,000. Van Wyck received a plurality of something like 80,000 iu Greater New York, and Roosevelt carried the balance of the state by a plurality of about 105,000. The Republicans have carried both the house aud senate, and this means that United States Senator Murphy will not be his own successor. A strong Sght was made against Senator Quay in Pennsylvania, and the anti-Quay people claim that they have him defeated. Quay, however, claims that he has been re-elected. It is conceded that the Republicans will control the United States senate by a majority of seven or eight; but the Democrats are claiming the house of representatives by a majority of five. The Republicans dispute this claim, and it will probably be some days yet before the matter is definitely settled. MERE-MENTION. The relations between France and r Great Britain are still very much strained. Both countries have armies and navies in shape for the commencement of hostilities at a moment's notice. The Democrats carried Colorado by about 50,000 plurality. Delaware has gone Republican. Missouri is Democratic by a safe majority. The Democrats elected all their congressional candidates in Virginia. New Jersey went Republican. Within the past nine months there has been an increase of $100,000,000 in our foreign exports and a corresponding decrease in our imports as compared with the same period last year. A Washington dispatch of Thursday night says the Republicans will organize the next house with a majority of twenty.
