Last Wednesday morning, a tramp named McMaHy, who had been loafing around town " several days, met a young lady on Repub? lican Street, ?nd used some impertinent language, which frightened her very much. Be was arrested by the po?ce and put in the Guard House, but afterwaids released and ordered to leave iown. He was met outside tbe town limits by some friends of the young lady, and after some necessary details were arranged received ? good thrashing, and was nest oa bis way with the admonition to curb bis gallant propensities in future and t>e very Carsfnl never again to return to Sumter. Marshal Tuomey Spent Sunday night and Monday in town. Be looks well, considering the rough cam? paign be bas been leading. When questioned as to the onslaught made upon bim by tbe Newt and Courier he laughed and s.-tid noth? ing. We suppose he knew it was all true, and therefore thought it useless to protest. Tbe Democrats of Sumter could have iu formed the Newt and Courier years ago that fm?. Toomey was the best Republican manip? ulator and organizer in the State, for they bave had considerable experience with that gentleman and we are very glad to know that the election has resulted in such a manner that be will scarcely ever again have (he opportunity of leading a Republican attack upon the Democrats. " However, barring politics, Mr. Tuomey is quiie popular in Sumter, where be has mauy persocat friends, and be met a cordial greet? ing yesterday, baring to sbike hands with Beady every one on the Street, both white and colored. -?.?-?-?.

An Oyster Supper, with other refreshments " will be given Tbursday evening, 13tb in Staat, by tbe Ladies' Aid Society, for the benefit of the "New Church Building Fund" of lbs Methodist, Church. A good snpper and pleasant time ?re anticipated- at Ma&on's BaM. Tbe election to decide the issue of Bonds Sum isatsr supply for the town wjl! be held1 The Election In Sumter County wa3 the most qniet on record. In the Town a monkey show on Barrett's corner was surrounded hy a far more enthusiastic audience than were the polls. - For two or three hours in the morn? ing thete was a slight rush of voters at both boxes, but by twelve o'clock the polls were cleared, and not more than one dozen rotes an hour were polled the. remainder of the day. We did not see an angry man during the day and but one drunken one, and he was a Republican. When the polls were opened in thc morning a Deputy Marshal wa s on hand and claimed admission, but took a refusal good naturedly. We under? stand that about 300 negroes were at the polls without certificates, but very few asked to rote. Most of them would merely pass through the room, give their name to the Republican Supervisor, and pass out without making any request whatever. They did not seem to regret not roting, being appar? ently perfectly satisfied at giring their names to the Supervisor. As there was no scratching, the ballots were easily counted and ihe managers had closed op everything by" eight o'clock and were ready to hear the news from tbe North as to the Presidency. But little interest was felt in the news from the rest of the County, for the negroes had show*, their indifference so completely during the canvass, and espe? cially at the two meetings in town Friday and Saturday, that everybody knew that no effort would be made by them to carry the election. The two factions were anxious to out-vote each other, and nire-tenihs of ti., votes they cast were done so with the inten? tion of strengthening their faction at the ex? pense of the other. And what is said of the town, is true of the entire County. The most diligent enquiry has foiled to ind out a single act of violence or even an attempt at one. We congratulate our Conuty on its victory for Democracy from Presidential Electors on down to Coroner, and we think that our victory in the vote for Congressman entitles us to release from the Black District. We are not proud of onr Representative and would be glad to trade him off for a monkey or anything we could get for him. The rote has not yet been counivd by the commission? ers but from unofficial sources we think the total vote tor President and Congressman will be about 2,600 of which Cleveland re? ceived a majority of 750 and Elliott 540. -- mm ? > > ? mm Last Week in Sumter. Tuesday night, the Democrats of Sumter County were in the best of humor. They had j assurances of victory in the County and ? State, for favorable telegrams had announced ! decided majorities in every County outside j of two or three in the Black District; and all '< were ready to hear good news from th? North, and particularly New York. A bulletin stand was improvised in the i Court Boase Portico, and an enthusiastic ] crowd collected in the street below, prepared j to cheer at every dispatch. Tue news wa? j for the most part favorable, and the crowd went home about midnight feeling sure that Cleveland was elected. Wednesday morning, the news was not so favorable, Cleveland's majority iu New York, which was given the night previous at figures varying from thirty to sixty thousand, was fading rapidly away. Work was almost entirely suspended, and New York's election returns was the only topic vf conversation. The bulletin boards were crowded and the fortunate receiver of a ! telegram was instantly surrounded by a crowd of enger politicians. Thursday favor? able news was received, and the boys made a rush for the cannon and fired a salute. Con* tradictory telegrams, however, soon followed, and much suspense ensued. Friday passed with the ne?8 slightly improving and Satur dav morning brought an address fr J ai the Deqfccralic National Com up it tee, positively as^eriii?g the electron of Cleveland, and re ?giesting every town io fire a national salute hor.or of the victory. Capt. Rosendorf, fib*nd 1er and others in command of 'fm^OTuTleF^Artillery soon had the cannon booming from Monumental Square. Main street was as if by magic dressed out in flut? tering flags, which were floating from house tops, windows, doors, store-fronts, and whersver else they could be placed. At night Monumental Square was ablaze with bon-fires. The.smaH boy, for once, was both useful and ornamental, he attended to the bon-fires, fired off cratker?, sent up rockets, screamed and yelled till bis lungs must have been raw ; and he then made up a large part of the enthusi? asm and noise of the torch light procession which marched through the principal streets. Wheo the crowd returned to the Monument after parading through town, stirring speet-hes were made by Col. Bl.-.nding, R. D. Lee. H F. Wilson, Marion Moise, Marion Sunders, D. J. Auld and P. G. Bowman to the crowd, among whom were found many ladies. Col Bian ding in his patriotic little speech spoke some? what as follows: "This was not the occasion for one man to speak but for every body to hurrah. Stand? ing around this, the Monument of over 400 men of Sumter who died for the cause lost in war, th is was the time for all to rejoice be? cause the principles of that canse have been re-established in peace by the election of Cleveland. The representative of North, South, East and West, of an Economical Government, honestly administered for all the people and not for political cliques or monop? olists' rings, with tfce rights of home rule pre? served to all States. Your earnest faces prove that if Cleveland is elected by one vote, you will do your part in seating him as President at the Capitol." We have not space to publish extracts from all the speeches They were, as a whole, well-timed and overflowing with patriotism, and the welkin was made to ring with the rounds of applause they called forth. Mr. Lee made some pointed predictions as to the future of some of our Federal officials, which gave abundant satisfaction, and was greeted with cheers and laughter. A large number of bouses were beautifully il- j laminated, among which we recall Sumter In- j stitute, Capt. ???gHT, Dr. China, Mrs. E. A. ? Brimson, Ger?ploise, C. M. Hurst, Jr. and ? Capt. Gree/g# The Institute was especially beautiful, MM long piazzas being a hinze of ! ight wiijf?pbe young ladies standing in th? j back g?^fod. waving enormous bandker- ; chiefs jf$f j Col;jj?T). Graham, the Chief Marshall, was j indefinable in his e?orts to have a fine torch j tigh^?rorcssion, and succeeded. (5?Irt. Auld prepared the mottoes and hin | sraVand taste had full exercise, and brought j f/^pb an admirable assortment. The commit- j vSfio charge of the torches put in some good work, and the whole affair was a pronounced success. Short Weights in Gorton. A gentleman from Manville, not connected j with the controversy in reference to short ! weights, pends us the following complaint : MANVILLE, S. C., November 8, 1884. Mr. Editor: Not-cing the correspondence between "H" and "X Z," and as I am one j who lost by a cotton buyer of Sumter, I j would like to gire a few facts: My cotton j was weighed at a public gin one mile from j Manville, af ter being pressed, and was carried ] to Sumter the next day. It lost a good deal j in weight. E. j The Fair Postponed. We leam that the Directors of the Sumter Park and Agricultural Association have de? cided that it is not practicable to hold a Fair this year. We are sorry that a prosper? ous Fair can not be had iu Sumter. We dont know the reason why. ---mm?- i- - P. H.

Manville Items. MANVILLE, S. C., Nov. 7, 1884. Mr. Editor: I regret to see that "H" seems to bave leen somewhat nettled at what I had to say about 1 'fogyism," kc. ,Tbe writer really did not intend to underrate his mental ability or to do him any injustice. "H" admonishes me against making "sweep? ing statements," and just here I must say "pot is calling kettle Mack;" for to say there is no sharp practice in any town with ns many buyers as Sumter has, is a very broad assertion to he made by a man who lives eighteen miles from town. If I were mis? taken about each gin being supplied with scales, no one is mor? ready to admit it than I, but I do say most emphatically, that I know of a number, and each of them is sup? plied. I too. am done with the subject. Mr. Jue Corbett was assaulted in a das? tardly manner last week, by a negro who went into his store pretending to buy bacon. As .Mr. Corbett stooped over the box to cut the bacon, the negro pushed or knocked him into the box, seized the bacon and some tobacco and made his escape, leaving his hat behind S:r-;;!s was announced to speak here last Thursday evening week, and about half dozen negroes assembled to hear him, but he did not appear. X. Z, - -i i ???>? - - Smithville Items. SMITUVILLE, S. C., October 27, 1884. The Election here to-day, passed off quietly, About a half vote was polled by both parties. The Johnston faction beat the Hewson fac? tion here. The rads roted at the Federal ?.oxes accurately, but at the State boxes, the way the votes gut in the wrong boxes was amusing. The mao who invented the present election law ought to be remembered to all eternity. Was it McCrady of Charleston, or s Yankee? But above all, we wager our flld hat that Blaine is elected and that he carried Indiana. Col. H. E. L. Peebles was the first man who vote J at the Federal boxes, one minute past 7 A. M , and Calvin Missouri, a good colored Democrat, was the next voter. Ile was the onlj' colored Democrat who voted nt the Federal boxes during the day. Smith? ville went Democratic as usual with a large majority. borne of the rads tried to vote on receipts, cotton sales, accounts, Ac. ; some came with? out their registration certificates, aud walked b uk home as far as 8 and 10 miles, got them, came back and voted, litre is a good bsson to the Democrat who takes no interest in the welfare of his country. Col. W. J. Reynolds, who has been in fee? ble health this year, was o nj at the polls and voted. Several Democrats were on the ground but did .not vote. What was the cause of their apathy? Hamp Vaughn, color? ed, losing his ticket tried to vote; weut home and searched nearly all day until be found it. Ile got back in time. Hurrah for ?{Jaine! for the plucky defence he has made of his rotten record, after receiv? ing the most terrible arraignment a presiden? ta! candidate ever got. Who will compose his cabinet?

[For the Watchman and Southron.] The "Mayfield" Masquerade Ball. \ - X Upon the evening of the 27th a delightful party of ladies and gentlemen in grotesque and in er???dte disguise met at the above named plantation, the old homestead of the late Col. R. L. Heriot, situated near Mechanicsville, and enjoyed a round of gaiety with admirable pleasantry and rare refinement. Among the bevy of charming ladies we noticed an inimitable "Mother Hubbard," an elegant "Duchess:" a fresh and joyous expression of "Sweet Sixteen-a wilful April in her ways ; a bewitching "Red ridiug Hood"-a "Mother Goose," which put to shame that quaint old lady of the past. Nor was "Autumn" out of season, with her fond attendant, the arch and pi quaint "Swiss Peasant," although "Night" in her sable garb, yet clad io a thousand stars and with the crescent moon decking her regal brow, in majesty looked down upon the motley throng. The pure and eloquent "Jeannie Deans" too graced the scene, side by side with the sprightly "Fille de Regi? ment" and mysterious fascinating "Gypsey Maids ;" and all amid bewildering groups of houris in their varied beauty, moved. Here too were seen of the sterner sex as complex aud artistic an array. The "Wild-war In? dian," fierce as from his native wilds, shout? ing his war-whoop sprang towering among those of more peacelul climes-the plethoric citizen of "Hamburg" puffed and. wheezed, horror-stricken to find himself io sostrauge a crew, totters, falls, and labors to carry his bulky form to some far retreat, while "Sam? bo" a matchless caricature sends a double terror to the soul of "Hamburg" as his ebon visage o'ershadowshim. Then "Sister Sue," in feminine guise, rollicked among the boys ; while in striking contrast moved the "Knight of Palestine" or he of some "royal dome;" the "Gentleman of the Olden Time," "Turks," "King Colton" decked in ?he fleecy fold ; the "Gambler" without a blush, stood arrayed with an open pack ; the "Mail boy," welcome messenger of delicious billet doux : while many gowned and masked in cogniios with "Kuklnx" are moved in meas? ured pace. But, Mr. Editor, time will not permit to eren hint at each excellent figure of this ever tn be remembered eve. It is enough to say, that we do not expect to see a blither, nor a more graceful scene in lins your gal? lant county. Some of the .Maskers too, with a rapid s;;rppse would doff one disguise to i*'*. iider us in another. Thus the "plethoric II; "?buryer," did delight ns at another stage ot' be evening tn the picturesque garb of an "Italian Troubador," in costume true to his nationality, with gay and buoyant air, his Soft black eves and bright merry smile Stealing every heart. And so the rollicking "Si.-ier Sue," put on the "Devil's own dress, and leaped and careered with Satanic glee inspiring almost an uneasy fear. These weird; lovely, severo, and gorgeous gu-sts, were to be seen uv der the light of brilliant chandeliers, while jour own famous "Sumter Batid" discoursed in sonorous bursts from t>r?:s3 and string. This neighborhood Mr. Editor, fur the past year has been regaled with many a delightful dance ?iud lovely soiree, bul perhaps ! The very crown of all Is the Mayfield masquerade ball. While much has been due in the past to the kindly efforts of some genial spirits iu our midst to contribute to the general pleas? ure, yet to one of our elegant citizens have we been specially indebted for many a happy pastime. To him, whose German name we would translate as "Ireace !" is this "Mayfield mas? querade" to be ascribed :-it is his grand success.
