Tho recent elections in Kentucky, Tennessee,. Mississippi rind North Carolina, teach tho samo lessons as those of >iew Hampshire, Connecticut and Oregon earlier in the year, and indicate as woll great demoralization in the Republican ranks, as a wide-spread popular re-action against the party in power. Local divisions and factions are still pleaded in ex planation of the late Republican reverses, but they are doubtless much moro largely owing to a want oi harmony between the President and .? his party, which is slowly but gradually breaking up the Republican organization. Grant for a long time has thought himself to bo stronger than his party, and has been at 110 pains' to conceul it. In none of his appointments has he made any effort to conciliate Republican favor, and in none of tho recent elections has the power of the administration been exerted to save tho party from defeat. Grant s^ems clearly to be an aspirant . for re-election for a Third Term, but not to be relying on the support oi the Republican party to secure it. T" ? - 1 IM-?. I-~ II UO IS IU UU i* LUIIUIUUIU, uc to I.V ut the candidate of the whole people, upon a new platform, presenting new - and broader issues. Bat that which more than anything elso seems to have brought about the recent' .Republican reverses, is the pertinacity with which the party is seeking to press the Civil Rights Bill, and which is exciting every where, and especially at the South, a- strong popular re-action against its supporters. Southern journals and Southern statesmen urge that we have conceded to the black man every 'proper privilego in emancipation. sMtiKAnfthin and suffrage, and that any attompt now to make Lira the social equal of the whito man, will only develop those antagonisms of race which, whilst inimical to both, are especially so to tho weaker?that whilst there is no disposition to take back any privilege already granted tofthe black man, it is time that onesided concessions and compromises should cease. Hear on this point the Courier-Journal, which has been long! tho firm and consistent advocate of the rights of tho colored race, and which now may be regarded as the exponent of the average public sentiment of the South:? "We can afford to have the politics of the country subjocted to a good deal of quack-doctoring; but the civil j rights bill, which is logically debata- ( ble, is an invasion of those laws of . ^ i ? a ?i.;. I. ? i. *t irOd ana naiurc wim-u ovurriuo mei * logic of men. Wo would leave the'1 negro "where ho is. Wo would try M and educato him into a higher usefulness. We would avoid an impend- , ing war of races by moderation, b}the dissemination of rccipsocal interests and kindly feelings, by the all-heal ng effects of time, by mutual ' conccRS ons and compromises. Thus', far all the concessions and compro-', raises havo been wrung from the' -whites. There is a limit to the spirit! which has gone so far; and we would j1 Eause and rest on the con6nes of that:! itherto broad and tillable domain. J The civil rights bill is revolution ; it is'j the proclamation of a gradual war of races, or else an equally destructive covert war of suppression ruinous to the blacks. We .geek, lor the good ot ' both races, to avoid It. Resisting the ; idea of a third term as we should rosist the bare-faced proposal of a ^ coup d'etat and an Kwperor, wo|! should preter it, and all that it implies ' and portends, to any further progress on tholine markodout by tfeo Republican managers." i Here is a journal wkiefe, whilst ODPoaing the Third Term Principle as j dftBtruetivo to Bepublican institutions, is yet wiHiOg to accept it rather than assent to the Civil Bights Bill. Sach j vre believe to be the popular senti- < unaot of the Sooth, and that between ;*ven Ctesarism and Civil Bights, the public would not hesitate long. i ... -,v.Proposed Scientific School. i An association of gentlemen has been formed at Pendleton, who pro pose to establish a Scientific School at Fort Hill, aud publish an address in which they commend the enterprise to the support of the people of theState. They set forth at length the advantages of such an institution in the development of n higher graiio cf intdllctitadl Ciiltti^e, and urge the excellence of the proposed site at Fort "frill, whicli was so long the homo o! Caroli >a's greatest statesman, and for which his son-inItjw, the Hon. T. J. Clemson has made a liberal donation?a site "comprising some of the finest land on the Seneca River, and at the foot of the Blue Ridgo mountains, combining great beauty of situation, with exceptional heahhfalness of climate, cl t is nituated ist a seetion of the State clicap and abundant, exempt from -many of the disadvantages which migl*t affect sach an institution elsewhere, and is in a short distance of ttvo great trunk railroads?the Blue !Ridge road connecting the np-cotintfy with Charleston and Columbia, and the Air Line road -pssstog within a mile and connecting JSew York and New Orleans." They state that thcyhave received assurances of aid from other quarters, b?th <able and willing to render liberal assistance. We trust that the suggestion already made, as to liio appropriation ui uiu iuuuo which have been raised for Iho erection of a Calhoun monument, may be carried into effect, and the endowment of a noblo institution of learning be secured, which bearing the honored name of Calhoun, shall constitute the most durable monument of his famo. A Terrible Tragedy.?The Augusta papers give an account of a inKi-iiiln li'drrft/lvr trltif'Il OOfMl lTftd in v,"w'v * "&'?J --- ? lhat city on Saturday afternoon, in the killing of Capt. A. F. Butler, agent of the South Carolina Railroad, by two colored men, Michael and Gabriel Murrel. The Captain had been to the Cemetery with his wife, und was returning to his residence in a street car and when near home he called to the Conductor to stop. Whilst assisting his wife down, he was assaulted by one of the colored men, (tho testimony seems to bo conflicting as to v O which one it was,) and shot through the head with a pistol ball. He was taken to his residenco and survived only a short time. As a matter of course great excitement prevailed. The colored men were both arrested and lodged in juil. Late at night a large body of urmed men proceeded in tl?f> i?il nnd forced the surrender of the prisoners. After hearing testimony and deciding that Michael was the guilty party, they shot him to pieces. Pedestrianism Extraordinary.? Tho minds and inclinations of great men often ran in the same channel. Not long since Mr. James Gordon Bennett, who has the talent and genius for making tho best newspaper on the American continent?the New York Herald,?won some notoriety and some money too, by a pedestrian feat, and now the Senior Editor of the Mrdium wins equal renown in a race with McClane's bull dog. McClane's dog was distanced and thereby failed to get his dinner from the Editor. A Costly Tobacco License.?Our townsmen, Messrs. J. B. and AV. J. Rogers, some time sinco paid five dollars for a tobacco license, and neglected to get it put np in a conspicuous part of their storo, and when the "Revenue man" came round they could not find it. It cost them about seventy-three dollars, besides lawyer's fees, to straighten thoir account with the Revenue Department. There are so many officials who make their living by prosecuting just such cases, that our merchants cannot bo too cautious in a rigid compliance with tho law. A Fiddler Wanted.?At tho barbccuo at Winestock's on Friday last, a number desired to engage in the dance, but the music was lacking. They sent off some three miles to get x fiddle, but when it came it was ? - ? i _ f*. <1 lounu to uavo no strings, oo mere was no music. A band of whistlers should have organized. The Force op {Examine.?Tho jeeond nine of tho Abbeville Colored i Baso Ball Club met tho sccond nine! jf tho Cokesbury Colored Club on Friday last, and whilst playing tho third inning bad a dispute which broko up tho game.

A Defence of Modern Sfirituai ism, by Alfred Russell Wallace, i the title of an interesting article ii the August number of tho Eclecti Magazine, and taken from the En glish Fortnightly .Review, in whicl the writer, au eminent scientific man presents the strong facts and argu mcnts which made a convert cf him self to the truth of the doctrines whicl he here discusses. He argues thatal the attacks which have been mad upon spiritualism have originate* from a limited experience aud partia view of the faots presented, and tha a wider experience and more ihor ough sifting of the evidence hav invariably overcome the scepticism o the most scientific men, who hav been forced to yield assent to th evidence of their senses, under cii cnmstances which admitted neither o trickery nor illusion. Such phenomc na as the beating of drums, the plaj ing of musical instruments, the wri ting of letters, the reading of scalei communications ? in languages to nnknown to the medium,?the alton tion of the weight of bodies, lum nous appearances of various kind* phantom forms and faces and variou mental phenomena?all brought abou without any apparent human or visi ' bio agency?have been tested so v.i riously and repeatedly, that eminen scientific men have been convinced c their truth. Tho article will repa; perusal, and perhaps will lead th reader to the conclusion of tho poet "There are more things in heaven am earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your pliiloso phy." The Abbeville Bobbery.?Som< two weeks since, Mr, J. \V. Eobertaoi of the firm of Seal, Sign and Robert son, was robbed of a pockct-bool containing five hundred dollars ant valuablo notes, which had only rc ccntly been deposited in a coat hang iing up in the bed-room of their car iriage shop. Suspicion pointed to i 'colored boy named Ed. Smith, win ! had been spending money frcoly ii watches, pistols, &c., at Hodges Depot The boy lives on' the Vienna Roac near W. "W. Sprouse's, and on his re turn homo was waited on by Mr. S. who obtained from him a confession lie stated that he obtained $40 or $5( from Joe Moore, a notorious colored boy of this town?that Moore ha< committed the robbery by entering ithoshop, ho standing without, am |had given him the money to kecf L.?:u n~ ~ ~.l ...I ~ iL, i suit. iiu buuwuu, aiou, wuuru tuc pocket-book and papers lmd been do posited in tho Episcopal Cemotry These have been recovered, but only a dollar or so of the money. Moore and Smith have been lodged in jail. In the Beeciier-Tilton Scandal, Becchcr has made his statement before the Committee which covcrs Iwc closely printed pages in the New York Herald. Opinions seems to be unanimous among newspaper men that it is very damaging to Til ton and Moulton, but opinions differ as tc whether it presents a full vindication of Beecher. The final issue will like ly be made in tho Courts. A Grange was organized at Dr Mabry's last week, with a membership of twenty -seven gentlemen and ten ladies. They will elect officora this week. Our friend John T. Lyon, is ono oi the most active of its members. i ' "" IgL A pic-nie is to ccme off at Thomas' Aw ?niil on next Thursday, A good The Fourth Congressional District. i- The Greenville Daily News urges e that by proper effort, tho defeat of e Wallace can be effected, and a Cone servativo candidate elected in this r District. The Republican majority of II nine hundred can bo easily overcome ti and a proper man elected. It says: >- "This district is composed of tho y counties of Greenville, Spartanburg, s Union, York, Chester, Fairfield, Kershaw and Lancaster. By the oensus of J870, it contained I, 75,373 whites and 78,729 blacks. Uj)n on an estimate of one voter to five inhabitants, the colored majority 'fs about 900. This makes the question ? of election doubtful, and well worth a ~ i ; t-j -j 1? it v UUUIUUU Biruggiu. au mgu muv some one was being brcto^ht out * 1 against Wallace, so that for tiie first \ time in years an activecanvass can be | had. s The counties of Grreefl'ville, SparI, tanburg and Lancaster are conservative. York is evenly divided, and 1 Union is republican i?y but a few t '> votes. Chester, Fai-rfield and Ker- j i. shaw arc republican by a vote of t about two to Cne. Altogether, thero is no reason in 1 the world why & ?ood representative 1 - cannot be sent to Congress, if a strug- s p glo be nmde. Tho effort is Worth ) . trvinff.

' ?*?? 1 . a 1 Rctcalism in the English Church < e would seem to bo effectually killed, ( by the Public Worship Bill, which j lately passed both houses of Parlia^ ment, by large majorities. The Pre^ mier Disraeli made an able argument >- in its favor, and sccurcd an easy tri- 1 umph over his great opponent, Mr. j Gladstone. rfho success of the mens- , d uro shows the conservative character i r of the English mind, and its opposi- i e tion to tho introduction of Romish 1 rites into the Fnglish Church. DisH raeli well said, that whilst lie had a j proper respect for the ceremonies of the Roman Catholics, he objected to < their practice by clergymen of the Church of England who, upon enter- 1 g ing into that Church, had made a ? solemn compact to oppose and resist them. The effect of the measure will . b?} to weed out those Romish rites and I, ceremonies which symbolize doctrines 1 i. which Protestant Christendom rei_ gards as erroneous, and perhaps to cast out of tho fold of the English I, Church, men who havo nothing in 1 common with her teachings, and who e are sincere aud honest enough to give j up their places rather than renounce j their convictions. t Baptism.?A largo number of our e eiuzuntj usbuiuuiuu un oiuiuuy lust, ui j a temporary pool which had been c constructed on tho Vienna Road bce low the town, to witness tho impres. sivo ceremony of baptism, as performed accdrding to tho custom of , the Baptist Church. The ordinance r_ was administered by tho Rev. R. N. j Pratt, tho pastor of the church here, j to eight persons?six females and two 0 male. After religious services, and t some appropriate remarks showing j tho Scriptural authority for the ordi} nancc, the pastor went down into the g pool, and successively baptized the t various candidates by immersion. 1 Cloaks were thrown over their drip P,no persons on coming out of the t water, aud carriages soon conveyed them to their homes. Everything was done with becoming decorum, e and the services were of a very im. pressivo charactcr. We are glad to ! see these accessions to tho Church. [| and haii them as hopeful signs of the - pastor's zeal and successful ministry. ^ ^ The Band in a Row. ? This citift - - _ ? ... " zona of Magnolia Township being in 1 1 need of a little music to arouse their enthusiasm and inspire their patriot- 1 1 ism, sent two wagons to Abbeville on ^ Saturday last, to carry tho .Brass ( "iBand to their meeting at Bowie's * School llouso. The leuder of the Band was sick, and Joe Moore, who is 1 the First Lieutenant, took command 3! and proceeded to "load up" for the ^journey.
