But Tilden wiillhave obtained: s1itg 3 _a. ajority.of votes in the Electoral ;:College froi the other States, that even J. Madison Wells, the chief of scoundrels, would be too much disgusted to bulldoze a single pacinct or parish. The defeat of tl0 Radical would be overwhelming. Chandler, Morton, Sherman and the threo indecent old judges on the Ei r'toral Commirision, would never smile again; while their party would be numbered with the things that were. Such is the outlook, if the Democratie irt'econcilables prolong the count beyond the ides of March. [How to Troat Immigrants. The Abbeville Medium, . a well iitorime(l ati admirably conducted pper, aniiiiuces that the Germans vre leaving. Long (Jano and hunting hoines among the mountains, "On last Saturday," says the Me. dium, "severail families loft for Greenville county, where they have the promiso of higher wages and more profitable and pleasant em piloyment. During the past year they became very much lissatished at the rato paid thon for their work, and now they are on the move. They say that this is no country for Gortans; that we think more of the negroes and will always give them the preference. There is no triuti i4 such an assertion, of course. The trouble with these fel lows is that when they come to America they think it is a free man's < o-mti y and that everybody is to live alike. They must take the country as they find it. If they can't get cake they must content themselves with coin-bread until they have saved enough from their earnings to indulge in luxuies. A negro will live on a peck of meal, three pounds of nott and a quart of molasses a week and think he is living in clover, but tie Go:man must have the beat or or ' ho bcconoas diestSfied and qumrrelsome." We would call the attention of the .Medium to the fact that it is just this system of treating immigrants that is calculated to keep them from our State. No State in the Union stain . . ia tC'e t ^the' down trod.ten Palmetto State. Br:t if farmers expect to get white men and women to work farms, and live on "a peck of meal, three pounds of meat and a quart of molasses a week," they may as well at onco re sumie the unvam ied employment of negroes, doing hatlf wvork, anid, unless converted, voting yeoar i and year out to rob themz of their s.~ tenianoo. Until the farm owners in South Carolina leamrn that educated and enlightened whito labor from Europe must be trealted with con sidertion, they cannot expect to induce iammigrants to come here. An inferior laborer, who dloes half work relimetantly, may subsist on a .peck of .meal andl a quart of molas ses a week, but intehigent, energetic and superior white labor can do0 better aund will not be satisfied. Pickings sand stealings the honest energetic Gepmn immigrant is not educatedl to practice, and conse quently be fiadsa it a little difficult, with a faniily to support, to live on a peckc of meal, three pounds of mea nt and a quart of molasses. Bo, sidles, Europ)ens all are accustomed to bettor hmouses and more space than labor at the South is usually p~rovid.ed with. -And- wo may as weoll unidersfmid and recognizci theso facts. If the peoplo of Oarolina want to induce intelligent, educated workmen to settle here, let them establish a thrifty peasantry by diiding their lands into small far'ms and ront them to competent anid safe tenants, or sell alternate tract~ to settlers on' time at low pricea. Bly filling up the country they will create a demand for hand and a imrket fom' ifs produce. We have ai remarkably fine climate and a soil, that wsth proper preparation is very productive. Pop~ulationl will now benefit all land owners. Jzaqd gf Commerce. A ~UNTo Bus H IEIF. . 's t.

On Monday afternoon, at 2 ocloclkd one of them broke from the guard and escaped, although fired at by a dozen persons. The other was rescued at night by armed men who beat the guard. The one who was rescued, named Manly Scarboro, afterwards went to Darlington and said white mid rescued him to kill him, and in fact did beat him and leave hime for dead, but he recovered and escaped, As Manly was very slightly hurt his story is evidently false. The hair is a beautiful ornament of women, but it has always been a disputed point which color most be comes it. We account red hair as by no means the most preferable ; but in the time of Elizabeth it found ardent admirers, and was hi fashion. Mary of Scotland, though she had exquisite hair of her own, wore red fronts. Cleopatra was red-haired a-id the Venetian ladies to this dirty counterfeit yellow hair. One night last week a small wood. en building near the cemetery, in Chester, belonging to Malchi Gray, son, was sot on fire by an incendiary and destroyed. Several attempts had previouly been made to burn the house. A dog and a gun were burned in the house. Malachi is a thorough Democrat: hence this spite against him.

Ciacinuat i Beer. f 3HE Cinciinnati "Gazette" makes the astonishing announoew ent that Cin cinnati Beor is no longer pure, but adul terated with molosses, sugar of starch, fusil oil and the ptisonous colchicum. J. C. SEEGERS guarantees his Beer to be pure and reliable. He does not adul terate it, but br6wa from the best barley, malt and hops. Columbia; Feb 27, tf 23'3D'EEL. T HE Commissioner of Agriculture, in his report for the fiscal year 1875, speaks as follows: "There can be no doubt of tho general ,adulteration of all malt liquors. JJgpg ia-iltids are impos;ed. nnl an increasing vigilance practiced to detect and punish such frauds, by a system of inspection of all malt liquors mfaiufactured beforo ex )ose(l to sale, the practice is very com mon. How much more in this country, shere there are no liws on the subject, and no oflieer to carefully analyze the prodntls of the brewey? Some years ago, Professor Nlapes, of Naw York, analezed the beer fromi a dozen dir'oront brewerie,, en-l all were fouind adulterated with niox ions sub~stancees, It is said that the salie of drugs to brew---rs is a proitable p~art of the traelo. Th'iis is perfectly infamous. Coeciulus indicius, tishi-b'erry) nlux vomnica (dog-button ' from w hichi strych -nine is obtained, areosomec of ther deecota bles substancea foundi in beer! These are poteit p)oi--ons, and the brewer found using them should be drowned at once in one of his ow-n vats, The Uiritish Par Iliament paissed a law to prevent this nefariious business. Tihec following1 is an extract: 'No dru'gist, rendor of or d' a! crin drugs, or cheist, or any other pin son, shall sell or deliver to any licensed bsrewer. dealer in or retailer of beer, knowing themu to be suoi, or shall sell or deliver to any person on account of, or in trust for, any such brewer dealer or re tailer, any liquor called byv the nameo of or sold for coloring, from whatever material the samne mayv be made; or any material or preparation -thier than ungroundl brown malt, for the darkening the color of worts beer, or any molasses, vitriol, honAy, qulasma. cocculbis indieus, grains of para1dise, Guinea prupper, or o -hun, or any extract or preparaitIion of molasses, or any articlo or preparation to be used iu worts beer for or as a substitute for malt or hopa; and if any druggist shall offejnd in any of these particulars, such prep~ara tion, &c., shall be forfeited, and may be seized by any othie~r of excise, andl the person so oflhnd ing shall forfeit five hun d red poundls.' "Under this law, very many druggists and brewers were brought to grief, and yet the' practice continues. Unless the American public are reaidy to admxit the -imnacu late purity and innoc~ nee of American brewers, they musst ho content while drinking their beer to cherish the belief that they are at the same time guzzhing seome narcotic poison or damnag ing medicine. In view of the unproce dented growth of the barley crop; of the great increase of the numnber of mahters and brewers; of the vast unlanown guali ties of beer that arp drunk in every city and almost every town ,in the continent, It isabe dictatn of sound wisdom that the attention of legislators should be called to the subject of the adulteration our malt liqniors, and severe wpnalties should be nfitdas a. preventivo."
