Horace Greeley, j'-tut ?rsri t 'i tllli ? ^he election i? over and we have l". 1 K. j- > for Governor. He is almost as i the choice of the white conser-; s. ei as of the black radicals. Many j *" who hate his party voted f ?r him ; s. i '3e his opponent w*as a Northern many more refrained from voting j c same reason. This feeling was ,:tcristic of the South Carolinian for H efore the war. The result of the l'e into which the State so reckless- ]t cw herself and into which she i I1 her sister States, ought to have ' ed the self confidence of her eiti- \\ the incidents of her history since, as it i? with misfortune and humil- '* should have taught her j>cople to ,, t themselves, and admit the strait- n any cliiue willing to share the Jf , aud aid the councils yt'j-.o uufortu- s. . .

J)'.1 ere is no talk then that the nominee ucf. .1 bolt should be selected to please J.: !U0C; ts. It was well known that ?nt c.ire would be necessary in choo<- i i-.i ios which conld attract that negro ".'.ifch Carpenterso signally failed to j '{f, 4 1870. All that was demanded i r> honest effort to reform abuses, i r,:\ . did ;tes of pood character :et was made up by tlie bolters ^ g.n?d material as tlio circumstances : soa .liftM of. A ticket every whit as ?j od in the important officers, as the lie- W". " ket of 1870., and verv much su- , 'o it in, at least, two instances, i;i*i i?--ad of the ticket was a Northern ; in-, a radical, and popular with thejjV, 'red men. He was described hy the, 4on Neics just after his nomina ;one of the most respectable ! 1 rners in the city; " known in every J irmity in which' l^e had resided as vo1 .onorable man, of irrep oathable ^r0 .i .'.te character. ainE politically, in tlie nguaye of the Columbia Phvtiix, as ' h^ very best man in the radical party. " | What did the conservatives press do %n \ these ir.en thu3 sacrificed parly .? oency and. hones' y; From one ^ >f the state to the other rose the j.?" i?1'carpet-bagger!" Instead offul- ptl iDg the podges of co-operation3 the <.?r; user ative either joined with the VJf H dicais in abusing Toralinson, or held jj'. oof with ill-concealed joy as the two j Ut cHons joined in the fight. The Bol La ni instead ot finding* allies, found j'1 >eniselves between two rircs. The ! jt'n jlumbia Phoenix constitutes the-single Ha tception to their course.. Be The Bolters made a gallant fight. J,1 J "hey more than were enough support }^j om the regulars to have elected their Bucket if the promises and pledges- of vtia ue conservative pres3 hud bceu worth nythiog. Having learned the value of such pu- j :c allies it will be a long time before , conservatives get a chance to again A k the lines of the radicals. We be- . 5 that the bolting movement.

WHAT Kl'KU'XISM C?ST. i J1' the strength of Grautism and (iroe ';1 ism in the north wasso nearly.equal jf *t a very little cause would turn ih? j ,|i We believe that little was . :: i in the mad acts of the kuklux in j is -TUte. The administration print i i tens of thousands of copi s of tht ! f. ;vid-uce taken at the trials and spread ; *' en among the people at the public ; 1 ^ cx.v. use. In the linn of Bab.

" m of apparent lawlessness, to the PJ >r. t- at fact that all law was a farce, aud * C tl . t law makers were the law-break- itl hat judges were the pliaut tools or ?. r -"ulity; that juries were prejudiccil. ar i.:. rant and ucbauehed; and that obe- al "m'TCo to such laws executed by such ^ ure, was a base surrender of man- ir i 1 and the timid compliance of cow- f s -if such an appeal had been made, i the citizens of a noble State hau ^ r to redeem themselves, we believe aj :y would have been sustained by the ? But KuICluxism, the combiDation of wardice and barbarism will remain a iin upon Scuth Carolina forever. 1 or will the participants alone suffer ^ e blame. The conservative, educated < id respectable citizens could have) opped it if they had expected them- 1 lvts to do so. They two must be measurably con;mned. Their action, hearty protest raiust such crimes would have been 1 ore effective than proclamation from ie president, or fears of martial law. hey liud their punishment to day in ie defeat of Greeley. ?SOBB THE* VOTE OF BEAUFORT.

A7^ l>riI.UJ\ A ,gW| THE FUTURE. The administration just elected has :he future of the state in its hands. fc K'ected by an overwhelming majority of enthusiastic partisans; with a disorgan- n, ized and thoroughly beaten minority, d thankfully accepting whatever reeogni- b tion may be accorded to it; with a legis- g lature of pliable material at its back, there is no stone in its pathway. It may d confound its enemies by giving the state j, an honest and economical government, f, or it may continue the wasteful, prodigal and wicked course which has marked the a past and thus bring its party to certain j ruin and our form of government into merited contempt. We sincerely hope j that we may have cause to regret some of the hard things we have said against the officers elect. From us the new administration will receive calm and dis- :. passionate comment, in no carping spirit, j but rather with a desire to find good t where we have not been led to expect it* i The Election. i Returns from a small portion of the ( State have hcten published in the j 1 Charleston papers, and judging from the c majorities thus far put down, Moses* t ' majority in the State will exceed 20.Q(V,> i The principal voting was by colored vot- 1 crs, the whites, steadfastly refusing to * visit the polls, 1 M o shall publish the official vote of the ( county in tabular form in our next is- j ^ sue. "We have received returns from a few precincts, enough to show that Sena I tor Suialls lias been c cctcd by four thousand majority. Moses majority will be about the same. j c : 1 Mr. C. W.

They knew tr o a dot just how many votes they could , te oil iu such and such precinct, the nu- ; ticrical table was brought into use, and il he huge footing of majorities were as nj lain to them as the shadows from a toon day sun ; those that were the most J st anguine before election were now very < I assive, vet clung to the hope that their > ge rieuds would win.

The first ' vork written by her was called Kutit \ flail. It was not u genial woik, and )ver its family revelations, it were best :o draw the veil < f forgetfulness. In 1850, she took for a second husband Mr. James Parton. the historian and issayist.
